Main House vs. Small House

Introduction of Small Boss house

For the first time in the history of Big Boss Tamil, this season has two houses: Big Boss house and Small Boss house. The following rules have to be obeyed in the respective houses.

  1. Every week, members of the Small Boss house will be nominated by the captain. The nominated members have to be inside the Small House for that whole week and are expected to not leave that house for any reason.
  2. The Small House is controlled by "Chinna Boss" (Small Boss). They cannot listen to the voice of Big Boss.
  3. Housemates in the main house need to nominate housemates from the Small House for eviction process and Small House members need to nominate Bigg Boss housemates for eviction.
  4. House activities for every week including Cooking and Vessel Washing should only be done by Small House members. House cleaning and bathroom cleaning for every week will be decided based on the tasks given by Big Boss. The losers of these tasks should perform those activities.
  5. Weekly tasks and all other tasks must only be done by Big Boss members; Small House members cannot participate in any task given by Bigg Boss.
  6. Daily menu for cooking will be decided by Bigg Boss housemates and will be put up in board, Small house members have to cook accordingly from the ration provided to them. They have no rights to change the menu.
  7. Unlike previous seasons, house rations have to be acquired by shopping in Bigg Boss market and the bill amount has to repaid by various Shopping Repayment Tasks.

Housemates in the Small House are expected to not leave that house for any reason. If they fail to follow instructions, they will face consequences in their stay at the Bigg Boss House. The Small House is controlled by Chinna Boss (Small Boss).
