After surviving periodic cuts 8 roadies emerged to join the official list of contestants. A new format for elimination was also adopted where the contestant(s), getting the most votes in a vote-out, from either team are sent to battle each other or opponents from the opposing team. The loser is consequently ousted from the show.
