The latest episode of MTV Roadies Double Cross, which aired on 6 April 2025 on MTV India and streamed on JioHotstar, was nothing short of electrifying.
Episode 26 brought intense drama, unexpected betrayals, and a shocking double elimination that left both contestants and viewers reeling.
Vote-Out Proceedings and Immunity Distribution
As the Roadies assembled at the vote-out location, they were greeted by host Rannvijay Singha and gang leaders Prince Narula, Gautam Gulati, Rhea Chakraborty, and Neha Dhupia. Notably absent was gang leader Elvish Yadav, who was away due to personal reasons.
Rannvijay initiated the session by allowing gang leaders to distribute their immunities. Additionally, leaders had the option to purchase extra immunities at the cost of 2,500 Roadiums each. The immunities were allocated as follows:
- Gang Neha: Neha Dhupia granted immunity to Manmeet.
- Gang Elvish: In Elvish Yadav’s absence, Neha purchased an immunity on his behalf for Yogesh Rawat.
- Gang Rhea: Rhea Chakraborty used her five immunities to safeguard her entire gang—Yogesh Sharma, Priya, Rohit, Yaashvi, and Charlie.
- Gang Gautam: Gautam Gulati provided immunities to Ruchita and Farhan.
- Gang Prince: Prince Narula, lacking immunities and choosing not to purchase any, left his gang vulnerable.
Vote-Out Rules and Execution
Rannvijay then outlined the vote-out rules:
- Non-immune Roadies would cast votes using a red marker to eliminate one contestant.
- Immune Roadies would use a green marker to save one contestant.
- If a contestant received both a red and a green vote, they would cancel each other out.
- The contestant with the highest net red votes would be eliminated.
The voting concluded with the following results:
Red Marker Votes (Votes Against):
- Gullu (Gang Elvish): 9 votes
- Anirudh (Gang Gautam): 7 votes
- Hartaaj (Gang Elvish): 2 votes
- Harsh Arora (Gang Neha): 1 vote
Green Marker Votes (Votes For):
- Gullu (Gang Evlish): 3 votes
- Hartaaj (Gang Elvish): 2 votes
- Alifia (Gang Prince): 2 votes
- Mannu (Gang Prince): 2 votes
- Anirudh (Gang Gautam): 1 vote
After cancelling out the opposing votes, both Gullu and Anirudh had six net red votes each, leading to their elimination from the show.
Post Vote-Out Turmoil
The aftermath of the vote-out was tumultuous. It was revealed that Hartaaj had voted against his own gang member, Gullu, having been influenced by rival gangs. This act of betrayal incited the ire of teammates Manmeet, Zorawar, and Yogesh Rawat, among others. An emotional Hartaaj contemplated leaving the show but was consoled by Prince Narula, who rationalized Hartaaj’s actions as a survival tactic.
Gang Strengths Post-Elimination
Following the double elimination, the gang compositions were as follows:
- Gang Prince: 6 members remaining
- Gang Neha: 6 members remaining
- Gang Elvish: 5 members remaining
- Gang Rhea: 5 members remaining
- Gang Gautam: 5 members remaining
Camp Confrontations
Back at the camp, tensions remained high. Manmeet, Rohit, and Yogesh Rawat continued to confront Hartaaj for his perceived treachery. In a candid admission, Hartaaj stated his willingness to betray even Shubhangi for his survival in the game.
Simultaneously, discontent brewed within Gang Gautam. Members expressed disappointment with Kajal for voting against their teammate Anirudh, especially given their shared history from MTV Roadies Battleground.
Concluding Remarks
Episode 26 of MTV Roadies Double Cross was a rollercoaster of emotions, strategic maneuvers, and unforeseen twists, setting the stage for even more gripping episodes ahead.
