Avinash’s Golden Brick brings Shama and Vinoth Babu back into Tamil 10’s Magic Potion task

Bigg Boss Tamil Season 10’s Magic Potion task took an unexpected turn when Avinash used a Golden Brick advantage to bring a team back into contention. Coverage of the October 10 developments describes a task built around protecting each team’s potion-filled life bottles while trying to reduce rival teams’ remaining lives. That made a single extra life potentially decisive even before the challenge was complete.

The first dispute concerned the rules for a paused team. Muthazhagi went after bricks belonging to Ansar and Shathiga’s group, even though that group had been placed on pause for the round. Under the reported rules, a paused team could neither act against others nor have its own bricks or life bottles taken. Muthazhagi tried to put the bricks back after recognising the pause, but Shathiga challenged what had happened. The disagreement mattered because both sides were bound by restrictions: the pause was not simply an invitation for rivals to attack an inactive team.

The more consequential shift came before the third round. Bigg Boss introduced a Golden Brick that let its holder move one life from one team to another, including a team that had already been knocked out. Avinash found it and took a life from Prithvi and Ashmitha’s team, assigning that life to Shama and Vinoth Babu’s group. According to the episode account, that revived Shama and Vinoth Babu’s participation and weakened Prithvi and Ashmitha’s position.

This is a change in the task’s balance, not confirmation of a weekly eviction or a final winner. The strategic question now is how the revived team uses its second chance, while the team that lost a life adapts to a narrower margin for error. The incident also highlights why the exact rules of a multi-round challenge matter: an apparent advantage can disappear when a pause, a penalty or a transferable life changes the board.

The available report establishes the Golden Brick move and the resulting task reversal. It does not establish any subsequent elimination or overall task result, so those outcomes remain open.
