How the new Roadies format works
Roadies Rebirth episode guide
Rannvijay returns as host. The first auditions bring the first selections, all to the OGs: Preet (Gurgaon) and Shine (Shimla) to Prince Narula’s side, Sneha (Kolkata) to Neha Dhupia’s, and Karishma Talwar (Dehradun), whom Neha snatched from Abhishek Malhan for a reported 22,000 Roadiums. Bani J wins an impromptu arm-wrestling bout, and two aspirants are sent back after the panel calls out their views.
In a cup challenge between the leaders, Neha Dhupia and Nikhil Chinapa beat Abhishek Malhan and Baseer Ali, and the NewGs lose Roadiums as a result. The NewGs get their first four contestants, with Salbani (Shillong) snatched by Bani J, Kunwar (Jammu) going to Abhishek Malhan, and Rhythm (Delhi) and Kiaan to Baseer Ali. The OGs add Ganesh, for a reported 71,000 Roadiums, and Shravani to Neha Dhupia’s side, and Soumya to Nikhil Chinapa’s.
Auditions continue, and the NewGs add two contestants: Daksh goes to Abhishek Malhan, and Shiv, a content creator known as Tony, joins Bani J’s side. For the OGs, Nikhil Chinapa gives his stamp of approval to wrestler-turned-actor Gurjant. Recaps suggest more picks were made in this episode, and we’ll add them once they are confirmed.
