The Power Team system in Bigg Boss Season 6 faced criticism from both viewers and contestants. Many felt that it allowed contestants who played it safe to escape facing the public vote, thereby bypassing the audience's judgment. Additionally, fans of the show expressed concerns about certain contestants exhibiting an attitude of superiority and entitlement once they attained power within the house.

In the weekend episode on Sunday (May 12), Bigg Boss host Mohanlal announced that there would be no continuation of the Power Team system in the upcoming days of Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 6. Mohanlal made this declaration while addressing Sreetu, Jinto, and Arjun, who were selected as the Power Team for the week.

Before making the announcement, Mohanlal sought the opinions of other contestants in the house regarding the Power Team. Those who had not yet been part of the team expressed their belief that the Power Team provided an advantage to those playing it safe. Jasmin further suggested that some contestants were evading accountability by joining the Power Team and advocated for avoiding it to give everyone a fair chance to play individually.

In a subsequent announcement, Mohanlal declared that there would be no Power Team in the 10th week of the show. He further revealed that the Power Room would undergo a transformation and be renamed the People's Room, where any contestant could enter freely.
