Episode 4

The Roadies travel north to Jodhpur. They participate in a sawal-jawab[jargon] round, and a money task in Mewar.[clarification needed] The teams are redistributed slightly by gender so that all the women are on the Delhi team; they then face an immunity task.[clarification needed] The women win the task. Vishal is voted out after he voices his opinion that more women need to go. The teams are almost even in size, however, the spy contestant is still unknown. Some of the Roadies suspect Rishabh may be the spy.
Roadie voted out: Vishal

Episode 5

The Roadies ride all day from Jodhpur to Pushkar. They have a nice dinner when Rannvijay enters and informs them that Grover has an important message: they must vote out the spy or else the spy will win all the money. The Roadies do a vote out. Rannvijay informs them that the vote was unanimous, which stuns everyone, but then he breaks the suspense and says that he was joking. At night, Roopali and Bani have a four-letter vocal battle over a bed sharing issue.

The next day, the Roadies are given a money task where they have to carry people from one place to another using a cart, however, the condition is that the age of the person carried must exceed the age of the team members combined.[note 1] After completing the task, Rannvijay says Grover is calling for another vote out, but reminds them that the spy rule from yesterday still applies. The Roadies vote out Bani. Grover reveals that there is no spy in the Roadies and that it was all a ruse. However, the twist is that Bani stays, and her vote will dictate who would be eliminated. Bani reveals that she voted out Rishabh.

Episode 6

Bani tries to figure out who betrayed her in the previous episode's vote out; she gets into arguments with Sonam and Raj. She later tries to befriend the girls.

The following day, the Roadies, under their captain Anthony, travel from Pushkar to Jaipur, and stay at a resort. They are called out to dress in swimsuits for a money task. Rannvijay presents a box draped with a white cloth, and has Anthony assign a man and a woman to be helpers. The money task is to form teams of two, cover their bodies with honey, and roll around in the box, whose contents turn out to be full of currency notes. The notes that stick are added to their bank. The Roadies complete the task and win ₹32,500, which brings their total so far to ₹1,93,500.[note 2]

The next event is an immunity task. The Roadies are split onto groups of two, and they must perform an item number in front of a crowd and a judge, Rakhi Sawant, who also advises them on latkas and jhatkas.[jargon] They perform the following item numbers.[citation needed]

  • Team 3: Anthony and Roopali sing "Kiss Me Baby" from Garam Masala.
  • Team 4: Swati and Sonam sing "Ishq de Gaaliwich"[spelling?] from No Entry.

Sawant selects Anthony and Roopali as the winners for immunity. Then there is a vote out, however, Grover has called Rannvijay on the rules for the vote out: each Roadie gets two votes, and two Roadies will be heading home. After the votes are tallied, Bani, Sonam, and Swati are tied with four votes each, so they have a runoff vote with the three. Bani gets the least number of votes and survives elimination.
