The begining of the journey from Goa. The thirteen contestants arrived in Goa from their respective cities. The city politics began as soon as the people got in the hotel with Dehli forming a majority group. Shambhvi, Anmol, Vikrant and Ankita were very quick to form their Delhi Core group. Sonel was sort of left out of the group because of her laid back attitude.
Vikrant was chosen as the first captain of the roadies. He chose Ayaz as his co-captain. These two had to choose their teams to compete with each other in three different tasks. Vikrant choose Shambhvi, Anmol, Nihal, Ashutosh and Snehasish in his team and Ayaz choose Vibhor, Ankita, Ankita, Varun, Sonel in his team. Prabhjot was left out and was then supposed to join the team which loses the first of the three tasks of the day.
The first task of the roadies was the Expresso Shots Task. In this task the roadies had to take in as many express shots as they can within Two minutes. This was a team task and the captain couldnot refill the glasses till all the six roadies had finished their shots. Vikrant's team went first. Apart from Anmol who all the guys and girls did very well and they managed to take down 4 rounds of Expresso Shots in the alloted time. But as Vikrant refilled the glasses before Anmol finshed her shot in the first round, they were penelised three shots and had 21 Expresso Shots.
Ayaz's team has a disastrous start. The captain wsa himself stuggling to gulp down the expresso. Ankita Seghal aka Simran was the most disappointing in this task and was possible the cause of them taking down only two rounds of expressos.
The second task was the Banana Ride task. Prabhjot joined the losing team. Now the captains had to leave aside one of the members on the shore and the rest would go on the task. The task was that the member sitting in the last position would hop above the member ahead of him and reach the front and the cycle continues. The more number of cycles in 15 minutes would determine the winner.
Vikrant's team left aside Snheashish coz of his height and weight. Ayaz's team has initially planned on leaving out Prabhjot but hearing the other captain's reasoning, Ayaz decided to leave out Sonel.
Vikrant's team went first and did a very good job in the banana ride. They fell down once but did the task quite well otherwise. Ayaz's team again didnot do well. They fell from the boat twice and lost by a big margin in this task also.
The third task was next. Vikrant's team had thought that with two tasks already under their belt, they had probably won their immunity. But to their surprise Ranvijay called the third task the task for immunity. And the task was so random. Out of a collection of keys, the team member had to come and guess which key belongs to which bike. Vikrnt's team had 3 chances and Ayaz's had 2. AS fate would have it, Vikrant, with his luck running high made the correct guess and won the immunity for his team in the final chance.
The Politics and the Voteout
All the games played plannings made and politics done by the roadies were kind of shattered when Raghu joined the party and spoiled the show by declaring that this was going to be a double vote-out. Not one, but Two roadies were going to leave the show even before it actually began. Amidst all the confusion and chaos, the two unlucky one were Ankita Sehgal aka Simran and Varun Saini. Varun had masterminded Simran's elimination to weaken the Delhi group and the Delhi group wanted to weaken the Chandigarh group by eliminating Varun. Both Succeeded!!!

MTV Hero Honda Roadies
MTV Roadies is an adventure reality TV show that tests the spirit of young groups traveling cross-country on bikes. The show was created in 2003 by Raghu Ram, the senior supervising producer of MTV India channel.
The show features thirteen Roadies, who are given Hero Honda Karizma bikes to travel all over India on a pre-decided route. They are given tasks at every destination which are either Money or Immunity tasks. A particular amount of money is decided for a money task in which they have to earn that money. An immunity task is team based or carried out individually where they have to perform certain tasks to get immune from the next vote out. Each week a vote out is held where all the roadies vote out one of the non-immune Roadies. The one who gets the maximum votes is eliminated. The final seven Roadies will win a Hero Honda Karizma bike and the last Roadie will win a cash prize of Rs. 5,00,000.
