The winner of this Bigg Boss season was confirmed at least six weeks before the finale. Even the housemates are aware of Rahul's craze outside that almost everyone except for Srimukhi lost hope of winning it.
Srimukhi also realized that Rahul is going to win it when she came to see the response that he got from the ex-housemates during the reunion.
Despite knowing that they are not going to take away the Rs. 50 lakh prize money, actor Varun Sandesh and Baba Bhaskar declined attractive offers from Bigg Boss during elimination process.
Bigg Boss offered Rs. 10 lakh for the fourth place and later hiked it to Rs. 20 lakh, but neither Varun nor Baba fell for it. Varun said that he cannot letdown his fans and supporters that voted for him by taking the offer.
Baba got another tempting offer to be eliminated as the top 3 contestant. He was offered Rs. 25 lakh and he declined it for the same reason.
Being a practical middle-class person, Baba did show some eagerness when he got the tempting offers, but he declined them on the word of his wife and children.
It was a failure on the show's directors part for letting the housemates know about the voting trends outside. They have made a blunder by being biased towards Srimukhi that turned the tide in favor of winner Rahul.
Second season became one-sided contest because of the mistakes done by star contestants like Tejaswi, Tanish and Babu Gogineni. But Season 3 turning out one-sided contest was largely aided by the unfair practices of the show's directors.
