Contestants and Wildcards

The season kicked off with a star-studded lineup featuring popular personalities such as Ravindar Chandrasekar (Fatman), Dharsha Gupta, RJ Anandhi, and Pavithra Janani, among others. As the competition progressed, six wildcard contestants - Manjuri, Raanav, Rayan, Riya, Shiva, and Varshini - joined the battle for the coveted title.

Prize Money and the "Money Box" Twist

This year's finale comes with an intriguing twist to the prize pool - the Money Box game. Contestants were offered opportunities to take cash deductions from the final prize amount throughout the season. As a result, the initial ₹50 lakh prize pool has been reduced to ₹40.5 lakh.

Here's how the Money Box game affected the prize pool:

Muthukumaran took home ₹50,000.
Rayan bagged ₹2 lakh.
Vishal secured a substantial ₹5 lakh.
Pavithra also won ₹2 lakh.

Final Rewards

The winner of Bigg Boss Tamil 8 will receive the remaining ₹40.5 lakh, along with additional perks such as gift vouchers and a car. The runner-up is expected to walk away with ₹5 lakh in cash and other exciting rewards.

What's Next?

The finale will be broadcast live on Vijay TV and streamed on Disney+ Hotstar, ensuring fans don't miss a moment of the action. With the top finalists vying for victory, fans eagerly await the announcement of this season's ultimate winner.

Going by the online polls, Muthu Kumaran is clearly ahead of other finalists. His nearest competitor is Soundariya. However, the show is known for throwing surprises and anything can happen.

Although some reports have claimed that Muthu is the winner and VJ Vishal is the runner up, the grand finale shoot has kicked off at 3 am on Sunday. So, there is no truth in the claims.
