Bedroom allotment This season's Bigg Boss house features four uniquely named bedrooms: the Den, the Nest, the Power Room, and the Tunnel. Each week, victors of specific tasks or those chosen by the Captain will gain entry to these rooms. Additionally, each room is tasked with specific responsibilities around the house. Since team tasks ended in Week 11, bedroom allotment has also been discontinued.
The Power Room The Power Room reigns supreme within the Bigg Boss house. Members of the other rooms must win the Power Room Tasks to secure a coveted spot within its walls. Those who dwell in the Power Room hold ultimate sway over the Bigg Boss house. This includes immunity from nominations, the ability to discipline rule-breakers, the power to directly nominate someone for eviction or jail, exemption from household chores, and a host of other privileges. Until Week 5, house captains could use the Power Room. But from Week 5 onwards, they're barred from it and aren't assigned to any room. Starting from Week 10, the concept of the 'Power Room' has been discontinued, and the room has been renamed the "People's Room".
