There were 7 males and 20 females. This season's set was Samode Palace, situated in Jaipur, India. In these season audience get to see old splitsvilla contestants like - Ashwini Koul and Rishabh Sinha. Ashwini chose to quit the game after his lady love Sanjana decides to leave the show due to an injury sustained during a task. Rishabh was banished by queen Khushi. There were 2 kings and 2 queens in this season. King - Shravan Reddy and Abhishek Malik. Queen - Khusi Bhat and Dana Vana. This season of splitsvilla was amongst the most popular season as there was love triangle, emmosity, hatred. Just like a fairy tale.There were 2 female (dana vana and ranji) and one male (Yazir Khan) wildcard entry through MTV Battleground.[1] There were lots of love couples in this season than the rest of the season like 'Rashi and Mayank gandhi', 'Ayaz and Priyanka', 'Khushi and Abhishek', 'Ashwini and sanjana'. Mayank pawar also titled as 'Mr.Asia' was also seen participating in the show. His elimination brought tears in sunny leone's eyes. and dumping of Rashi Sharma (when Mayank gandhi ties the protection thread around her hand) and Ayaz Ahmed (when he proposes to Priyanka) brought tears in everyone's eyes. Scarlett Rose and Mayank Gandhi Later won the show competing against Abhishek and Khushi. This season also featured a brother-sister relation between Abhishek and Scarlett, where abhishek felt so bad when his love (Khushi) had to fight against his sister (Scarlett) in the finale.There was a situation in which one of the contestant Shravan throws Some thing on Sunny leone out of anger on the other splitsvillans.

Season 8

The season 8 was hosted by Rannvijay Singh from MTV Roadies and Sunny Leone. Nikhil Chinapa[4] was replaced by Rannvijay Singh.[5] This show later joins Karan Kundra.In this season 14 girls and 8 boys from the auditions and 8 celebrity boys are there. Subuhi Joshi from Splitsvilla 6 entered the show as a queen. This season's based on the theme "What Women Love". This season became a popular season in Splitsvilla history. This season is known for the bisexual tones of Karishma and Gaurav.This show has also featured true love couples like 'Subuhi and Ishaan', 'Sana and Utkarsh'. And of course we would like to remind our viewers about how Subuhi had partner in the previous season named Gaurav,who was beaten bad and blue by that seasons another contestant named Prabhjot. We would also like to inform that this love is TRUE because we say so and it has nothing to do with the fact that Subuhi has learned her lesson of caring for herself first and the fact that Ishaan is a millionaire. There were many pair ups like that of 'Karishma and Zaan', 'Prince and Anuki' and 'Yash and Sophiya'. This season also featured a girl-girl couple of Karishma and Sharika. The regular boys were dumped within 2–3 days of their existence and girls who had connections with the regular boys also were dumped subsequently. Sana and few other girls who had love connection with few regular boys were smart enough to break that connection and to pair up with the celebrity boys.Gaurav being a regular boy was able to withstand in the competition for long but had to quit due to illness. enakshi, alisha and Harshita were dumped very soon because they had their connection with regular boys and they were not recognized. After the elimination of regular boys we can see that even the celebrity boys started their cat fights and the whole villa was against Karishma and Zaan. There was a feeling why did even bring in the regular boys if they are going to dump them in 2–3 days.

This season had Wicked, Ruthless, Revengeful and Angry king and Queen. Anuki was awarded with the title the most dumbest girl of the villa. Ish and Viren had broken the basic rule of the villa so they had to be eliminated.

Controversies after Splitsvilla 2

Sexual exploitation

A month after the second season of Splitsvilla ended, some of the contestants claimed that the show's crew members had engaged in sexual acts with other contestants.

Swaagata G Shah, a contestant from Season 2, claimed in a tabloid that there were exchanges of sexual favors between contestants and important people of the production team, to get undue advantages in the contest.[6] Later, contestants Varun Jhamb and Nalini Negi who had been eliminated early on in the show, alleged that ‘some crew members, including the director, had slept in the same room as top contender Joanna Magee, and others engaged in sexual favours, especially towards the end.'

In response, Rajiv Laxman (creative director of the show) said: ‘I firmly disagree with these allegations. We have strict rules that prevent the mingling of the crew with the cast. Swagata was the first contestant to be eliminated and didn’t even spend a night at the villa. She doesn’t have any linking of the way things work there.’

Racial slur

One of the contestants on the show Mohit has been accused of using a racial slur after he called Siddharth Bhardwaj, a "Nepali with 'chinky' eyes". This caused obvious discomfort to India's North East Community, many of whom have oriental facial features. Though the show is unscripted, the network and the sponsors have been accused of supporting such racial slurs by not bleeping the content after they decided to air it.[7]

Another such incident took place in the fourth season, when Aakriti had a verbal fight with Payal.[8] The racial slur that was used was beeped out and later Nikhil Chinappa at the dumping ground raised the issue telling Aakriti not to "advertise her ignorance anymore" and that serious actions will be taken if it happens hereafter.
