Later, Silambarasan continued as a host from week 4 onwards.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

The Grand Finale of the show took place on 10 April 2022 and Balaji Murugadoss emerged as the winner, while Niroop Nandakumar became the runner-up.[8]

Thamarai Selvi and Maria Juliana became the first 2 commoner contestants to make it to the grand finale and becoming finalists in the whole Bigg Boss Tamil franchise.

This version of Bigg Boss was somewhat successful for the Bigg Boss Tamil franchise and topped trp charts with a high of 6.12 trp on the grand finale night which is impressive for an OTT platform. However it still remains a underrated season in the franchise.[9]

This version of Bigg Boss only lasted for 70 days (10 weeks) making it the shortest season of the Bigg Boss Tamil franchise.

House
The house for the season is the same design that was used for the fifth season with only minor changes to furniture. Only an additional luxurious private room was added for the Trending Player.

Nominations notes

Suresh despite winning the captaincy task was evicted so he chose Snehan to be the captain in his place.

For the first time, the "Trending Player" format was introduced in Bigg Boss Tamil. The contestant who is chosen as the "Trending Player" is immune from nominations.

Suja despite winning the captaincy task was evicted so another captaincy task was held after which Vanitha became the captain.

Since the housemates weren't playing the luxury budget task properly, Bigg Boss announced that in Week 3 there will be a double eviction.

On Day 24, Vanitha walked out of the Bigg Boss house due to her conflicts with Niroop and Thamarai. She walked out mainly due to her not wanting to take any risks considering her mental health.

Sathish upon entry was immuned and Suresh also was immuned upon re-entrance from the nominations.

Ramya upon entry was immuned from nominations.

Due to both Abhirami and Balaji M winning the captaincy task, they both became Co-House Captain.

While Abhirami nominated contestants for eviction, Balaji M saved Suresh after the nominations.

On Day 52, Suresh walked out due to his health problems worsening.

On Day 62, Suruthi agreed to take the cash prize of ₹15 lakhs, thus walking out of the show.

After Suruthi walked out of the show, no eviction took place on Day 63, thus making all six remaining contestants finalists.

Ex-housemates started entering the house as guests as from Day 65.

On Day 66, Abhirami was eliminated from the Finale Race and ended as the fifth runner-up based on live voting.

On Day 67, Juliana was eliminated from the Finale Race and ended as the fourth runner-up based on live voting.
