// February 17th, 2010 // Comments Off // Episodes
After Arjun was dumped last week, Pooja, his love could not bear to remain alone in the villa and requested that she would like to leave Splitsvilla. Nikhil agreed to her request and informed that she will be replaced by the female who was in the dumping ground with her and had to leave splitsvilla so that she could stay.
This was a complete surprise to everyone as they recognized who it was.

And thus enters RIA – she went out with a bang is now back to take the place of Pooja in Splitsvilla. Ria enters the villa and learns that she will be replacing Pooja and she informs that only Monica is her friend and not Niharika.
Riya walks around trying to get everyone’s idea why she was voted out and from the looks of it, she has a bone to pick with everyone. Aashish was the first one in line. Fights break out between Monica and Vikas and it begins to get ugly and Vikas just walks out.
A new day dawns and the STICK and SPLIT session is back and The Queen chooses Riya to have a partner first. Riya chose Vikas and Pavithra sticks on with Mahip.
Gossip and Backbiting can be extremely evil and there was an ‘OPINION’ from Monica that there is something going on between Mahip and Pavitra
As the number of splistvillans reduce, the contest gets only harder. Monica is left without a partner and as per this contest rule, Monica can choose a partner, thereby giving the guy a double chance to win….& she chooses MAHIP.

The task was SALSA DANCING in the SEDUCTION night Club. All the contestants were trained for 2 hours and then they began to perform with their partners. All the pairs were going strong and getting creative to win the contest. Time was up and the contest began, the couples showed their salsa moves to sway the judge.

However, the show stealing performance was definitely by Vikas and Riya as their steps were very good they managed to impress the judges & as their prize, they were given Vodafone call for love and Vikas called his sweetheart kriti.
Now came the DO or DIE ! task for the winners and the king and queen. The challenge to reach the throne was Muay Thai (also known as Thai Kickboxing)
The challenge took Place at the Karon Beach, and in this task the boys fight each other but they are restrained by the girls of the opposite team who are holding ropes that are attached to the boys’ hands and legs.
POINTS :- Head punches – 5 points
Below shoulders – 10points
Below the knees – 0 points
If the player falls down then the opposite player gets 15 pts
An assistant (Between Mahip, Paavitra and Monica) could be chosen by the teams who will help the member rest & drink water in about 1 minute. Each round went on for 2 mins and there were a total of 3 rounds of bashing. King and Queen choose Pavitra to be their Assistant and Mahip was of the other team.
Round 1 – No one even came close to beating as the women on either sides were very strong.
Round 2 – Change in the rules that the women can hold the ropes only after the BONG
Round 3 – The women were not allowed to hold the rope for 1 whole minute after the bong.
BASH BASH BASH .. Aashish kept falling down and thereby was throwing away the points to Vikas.

Vikas won the challenge and the new king and Queen were Vikas and Riya. Can this get any better?!?
The tables were turned and it was one eventful dumping.

Back At the dumping ground the men are saved this time & Monica is saved by the Queen. Pavitra wanted to leave the show but Vikas was not going to let her go. Obviously the King’s decision was final and Pavitra remains in the villa. Sad to watch but again this time another real life couple is split and Niharika is out of the Villa.
3 couple partner remains and 3 singles remain.
Now the World war 3 gets even more intense. Riya is still very angry with Niharika and temper flared amongst the two before Niharika left the villa.
