MTV Roadies 5.0 - started of with politics

http://www.mtvroadies.tv/

Finally, the much awaited(atleast for me) reality show is on air once again. After the gruelling and nightmarish auditions by Raghu and Nikhil, 13 roadies have been selected from all over India.
Shambhvi Sharma - New Delhi
Ayaz Ahmed - Kolkata
Vikrant Rathore - New Delhi
Snehashish Das - Mumbai
Anmol Singh - New Delhi
Sonel Singh - New Delhi
Nihal - Mumbai
Ashutosh Kaushik - Jaipur
Prabhjot Virk - Chandigarh
Vibhor Gupta - Chandigarh
Ankita Bajaj - Kolkata
Ankita Sehgal - New Delhi
Varun - Chandigarh

This time the first location was Goa where they were to complete their tasks.
The worst thing this time was, the politics had started from the 1st episode itself. Rather than knowing each other, people are planning to vote out the roadies from other region. The best thing , Raghu had f!@#$ their planning at the end of the episode 1.

The roadies were welcomed with some goodies from Reebok. The first evening of their arrival in Goa ended with a dance party in the resort where they were staying. I think Ashutosh took all the kudos here as he is the one to break the ice on the dance floor.
The next day they all landed upon Aguada Fort where they met Ranvijay again and he formed 2 teams - red and blue.
The red team had -
Snehashish, Vikrant(captain), Shambhavi, Anmol, Ashu and Nihal. The blue team had - Ayaz (Captain), Sonal, Ankita, Ankita Bajaj, Varun and Vibhor.
Prabhjot was left alone at the end with no one to pick her.
Ranvijay asked the roadies to go to cafe coffee day to perform the first stage of their first task. They were supposed to take hot coffee shots (inspired from tequilla shots). The team to take maximum shots will win and the loser team will get Prabhjot as the team member. The red team won the challenge. I must say that they really had the great spirit and enthu. Ashutosh was gulping the shots like anything.
Now the second stage of the first task. A banana boat ride with a twist at Kalingute beach. The twist was, any 5 of the members from each team have to take a ride and while the boat is moving, the person at the last has to jump over the other team members and come at the first place, then the next person who is in the last now, has to do the same task, and the loop will go on for 15 minutes. The team with maximum number of rounds would be the winner. The red team again won the game.
So the score was 2-0.
Now the third stage of the first task. This was the task that will actually give the immunity to the winning team. That was the shocking twist for the red team. So the first two stages that was compelted by roadies, was just a warm up for them. Thats a roadies show and the people have to be prepared for these kind of twists. Now the details of the task. "Right key in the right bike".... 3 Karizma bikes with 7 keys. The red team would get 3 chances and the blue team would get 2. Whosoever will start any of the bikes in these chances will win the immunity. The task was totally based on luck rather than on the team performance.
It was really a welcome gift for the blue team but they were not able to cash in this opportunity also. Red team again won the task in the last chance.
The wait for elimination started and the time pass was politics and discussions on whom to eliminate. The strongest contender for elimination was Sonel as she did not have the attitude to play the game. Delhi people were trying to be together (atleast in discussions) and wanted top 5 people from Delhi only.
Then came the most awaited part. The roadies were standing facing Ranvijay. Ranvijay gave the shock to all the roadies when he invited Raghu on the set. Little did the roadies know what Raghu was going to say. After critising the blue team members and congratulating red team members, Raghu said "There is a good news and there is a bad news. The good news is, not one of the roadie will be eliminated today. The bad news is there will be two roadies to be eliminated today." For more enjoyment watch the following video:

The episode ended with elimination of Ankita Sehgal(10 votes) and Varun(6 votes).

Highlights:
All the team members from blue team had atleast one vote for elimination and this has happened for the first time in the history of Roadies
Raghu's shock - 2 elimination in the first episode itself
