Bigg Boss 11 Kannada FIRST Elimination: This Season premiered on September 29, with Kiccha Sudeep returning as host. It features a diverse group of contestants from various backgrounds. In the past week, the housemates have been involved in considerable drama, alongside tackling challenging tasks and activities, transforming the house into a battleground. In the inaugural week, Yamuna Srinidhi became the first contestant to be eliminated.

The elimination process saw ten contestants—Bhavya Gowda, Chaitra, Gouthami, Hamsa, Jagadish, Manasa Thukali Santhosh, Manju, Mokshitha, Shishir, and Yamuna—at risk. During Saturday's episode, host Kiccha Sudeep announced that Bhavya Gowda, Gouthami, and Manasa Thukali Santhosh were safe, leaving Chaitra, Hamsa, Jagadish, Manju, Mokshitha, Shishir, and Yamuna in jeopardy.
As the tension built, Kiccha Sudeep revealed that Yamuna would be the one eliminated from the Bigg Boss house. Her reaction was one of disappointment; she voiced her frustration to the host, insisting that she did not consider herself a weak contestant who could be voted out within just a week.
Reports suggest that Yamuna's departure was largely due to receiving a significantly low number of votes from the audience. For the unversed, Yamuna Srinidhi is a familiar name in the Kannada entertainment industry, recognized for her roles in popular shows such as Amruthavarshini, Ondooralli Raja Rani, Madhumagalu, Sakshi, Aaramane, Triveni Sangama and Eradu Kanasu.
Meanwhile, Kiccha Sudeep recently expressed concern that the contestants were not making the most of their time in the house. This remark seemed to motivate everyone, leading to a surge in activity. Following this, a new task was introduced, which has further deepened the divisions among the housemates, where participants must identify who among them is deemed unworthy, and those selected will be marked with black smudges. The process has sparked intense arguments, causing the contestants to drift apart.
Bhavya Gowda has been labeled a 'time puppet,' while Chaitra Kundapura has once again stirred up chaos. Promotional clips reveal that the atmosphere in the house is increasingly tense, resembling a battlefield.
