The Grand Finale of the show took place on 14 January 2024, Archana Ravichandran made history by becoming the first ever wild card entrant to emerge as winner with the most votes in the mainstream TV franchise of Bigg Boss (excluding the Hindi digital spin-off known as Bigg Boss OTT 2).[3][4][5]
Bigg Boss Tamil Season 7 marked the first season since Season 1 to conduct an eviction process in the first week. This broke a five-season tradition, from Season 2 to Season 6, of having no evictions during the inaugural week.
Among all the seasons of the Bigg Boss Tamil franchise, Season 7 stands out for having three double evictions and two mid-week evictions—a rarity, as such events typically occur only once or not at all in previous seasons.

Release
The season was officially debuted on 1 October 2023 on Star Vijay, with Haasan returning as the host for the seventh time in the franchise.

The housemate receiving this stone will be sent to Small Boss House and will be directly nominated for Week 4. However, this stone will not remain with the same person as it will switch to another housemate given by the one holding the stone until the Bigg Boss announces the final person to move to another house.
Earthquake (Boogambam)
On Day 50, Bigg Boss announced that each housemate must complete three tasks in order to prevent three wildcard contestants from entering the house. The wildcard contestants pending to enter are former housemates who were evicted from the house earlier in the season.

Introduction of Small Boss house
For the first time in the history of Big Boss Tamil, this season has two houses: Big Boss house and Small Boss house. The following rules have to be obeyed in the respective houses.
Every week, members of the Small Boss house will be nominated by the captain. The nominated members have to be inside the Small House for that whole week and are expected to not leave that house for any reason.
The Small House is controlled by "Chinna Boss" (Small Boss). They cannot listen to the voice of Big Boss.
Housemates in the main house need to nominate housemates from the Small House for eviction process and Small House members need to nominate Bigg Boss housemates for eviction.
House activities for every week including Cooking and Vessel Washing should only be done by Small House members. House cleaning and bathroom cleaning for every week will be decided based on the tasks given by Big Boss. The losers of these tasks should perform those activities.
Weekly tasks and all other tasks must only be done by Big Boss members; Small House members cannot participate in any task given by Bigg Boss.
Daily menu for cooking will be decided by Bigg Boss housemates and will be put up in board, Small house members have to cook accordingly from the ration provided to them. They have no rights to change the menu.
Unlike previous seasons, house rations have to be acquired by shopping in Bigg Boss market and the bill amount has to repaid by various Shopping Repayment Tasks.
Housemates in the Small House are expected to not leave that house for any reason. If they fail to follow instructions, they will face consequences in their stay at the Bigg Boss House. The Small House is controlled by Chinna Boss (Small Boss).
Chinna Boss
Unlike previous seasons, where a single main voice, the Bigg Boss, controlled the whole house, this season "Chinna Boss" has been introduced to be the main voice for housemates in the Small House. Housemates in the side house will only follow orders given by Chinna Boss and will not hear the voice of Bigg Boss like the housemates in the Bigg House.
