by Episode 26 of MTV Splitsvilla 16 opened with contestants receiving a notification to prepare for the next Dome session. Everyone got ready and assembled at the Dome, where host Karan Kundrra welcomed them. Co-host Sunny Leone was absent once again.
Soundharya Shetty and Himanshu Arora were seated on the Power Match throne as they had the highest number of Split Coins. Meanwhile, Gauresh Gujral and Akanksha Choudhary occupied the Ideal Match throne, having been declared an Ideal Match by the Oracle in a previous episode.
