Season chronology

Bigg Boss 2 was the second season of the Tamil-Indian reality television series, Bigg Boss, and was hosted by Kamal Haasan. The season had 17 housemates (including wildcard entries), and was filmed with 60 cameras. It ran for 15 weeks (from 17 June to 30 September 2018), and aired on Star Vijay weekdays from 9–10:30 am and 9–11:00 pm on weekends. Hotstar provided content not aired on television and provided Fun Unlimited, a parallel weekly programme. Hosted by Rio Raj, it humorously described events in the house.

The first season's lavish house set, on the outskirts of Chennai at EVP Film City in Chembarambakkam, was renovated just before the start of this season. The renovated house included a "jail room" to increase the severity of punishment for contestant mistakes.

The winner of Bigg Boss Tamil 2 was Riythvika, who won a trophy and a cash prize of ₹50 lakhs (₹5 million). Aishwarya Dutta was the runner-up, and the other finalists were Vijayalakshmi Agathiyan and Janani Iyer.

This is the first season to have a female winner in the Bigg Boss Tamil franchise.

Thaadi Balaji and Shariq Hassan returned as contestants in Bigg Boss Ultimate (season 1).

BOLD, If a housemates name is in bold during "against public vote" it means that they are a finalist.

• ^Note 1 : No eviction during the first week, although the housemates each nominated two housemates for eviction.
• ^Note 2 : Nithya and Ananth were nominated for Week 3's eviction because they had performed poorly during the second week's luxury budget task. Daniel and Riythvika, who was nominated as the best performers of the same luxury-budget task, were saved from the following week's eviction.
• ^Note 3 : For the week-4 eviction, the housemates were divided into groups; each group had to decide who would be nominated for eviction. Although Balaji, Ponnambalam, and Yashika accepted the decision of their groups to nominate them for eviction (nominating themselves), Nithya nominated Daniel despite the rest of her group nominating her for eviction.
• ^Note 4 : Ramya was replaced by Nithya as week-4 captain and nominated for the following week's eviction by Bigg Boss after she refused to participate in the week's luxury budget task.
• ^Note 5 : Although Nithya became captain in the middle of Week 4, she was evicted at the end of the week with the fewest public votes.
• ^Note 6 : There was no house captain for weeks 6, 14 and 15.
• ^Note 7 : Mahat was sent to jail and nominated for eviction by Bigg Boss in week 6 for repeatedly breaking the house rules.
• ^Note 8 : Although Aishwarya was nominated for the week-6 eviction, she saved herself with the superpower she obtained after winning a daily task during the previous week.
• ^Note 9 : Sendrayan and Yashika were nominated as the best performers for their teams during the week-6 luxury budget task, and were saved from the following week's eviction.
• ^Note 10 : Although Vaishnavi was evicted through the public voting process, in accordance with the Secret Room twist she was moved to a separate room for four days before returning to the house on Day 46.
• ^Note 11 : As a result of Aishwarya's performance during the week-7 luxury budget task, Bigg Boss granted her immunity from nomination for the following week's eviction.
• ^Note 12 : Although Shariq was supposed to be the house captain during week 8, since he was evicted at the end of week 7 he chose Yashika as the week-8 captain.
• ^Note 13 : Janani was nominated for week-8 eviction by house captain Yashika, who had the power to nominate a housemate for eviction.
• ^Note 14 : Riythvika was nominated for week-9 eviction by house captain Aishwarya, who had the power to nominate a housemate for eviction.
• ^Note 15 : Balaji and Sendrayan were nominated as the worst performers for their teams during the week-9 luxury budget task, and were automatically nominated for the following week's eviction.
• ^Note 16 : Although Aishwarya was nominated for the week-10 eviction, she was saved by house captain Yashika (who had the power to save a nominated housemate from eviction).
• ^Note 17 : Vijayalakshmi was granted immunity from nominations for week 10 as the new entrant.
• ^Note 18 : Mahat was ejected from the show with a "red card" as he had physically assaulted co–housemates Daniel and Riythvika during the week 10 luxury budget task.
• ^Note 19 : Balaji, Daniel, Janani, and Riythvika were nominated as the worst performers of the week-10 luxury budget task, and were nominated for the week-11 eviction. Riythvika was granted immunity by Kamal Haasan for her honest opinions about her fellow housemates' strategy, however, during an interaction with Kamal a week earlier.
• ^Note 20 : Although Mahat was supposed to be the week-11 house captain, due to his ejection from the show, Kamal Haasan decided to nominate Sendrayan as the week-11 captain in accordance with the other housemates' wishes and because he had not been house captain.
• ^Note 21 : There was no nomination process during week 11. Balaji, Daniel, and Janani, who were nominated for eviction after being judged the worst performers of the previous week's luxury budget task, faced a public vote.
• ^Note 22 : Riythvika was nominated for the week-13 eviction after failing to persuade Mumtaz to perform the task assigned by the telephone caller.
• ^Note 23 : In week 13, the housemates had to decide who would be nominated for eviction. Since they could not reach a decision, house captain Riythvika nominated Vijayalakshmi, Aishwarya and Mumtaz.
• ^Note 24 : Janani had immunity until the final week, after winning the Ticket to Finale task.
• ^Note 25 : Balaji and Yashika were evicted in week 14.
