Roadies 5.0 – Journey 4
Back again with another synopsis of Roadies. This time the episode was quite quick and not too exciting except the elimination where Raghu resurfaced again with his surprising element. The tasks(both money and immunity) were not so catchy as compared to the previous 3 episodes.
This time the journey brought them to Bangalore, captained by Snehashish ( he wanted it desparately to play his games against Anmol and Shambhavi).
The game started from the hotel itself where they were staying in Bangalore. Ranvijay asked them to search for a place(he did not tell at that instance), using GPRS enabled mobile phones only. The rules of the game:
- They cannot ask anyone to reach the place
- If all of them reach there within 1.5 hours, they will get an advantage to perform the task
- They will go in a group of 3, in tata sumo.( no bikes this time
)
The teams were
- Nihal, Ankita, Shambhavi (Nihal fully used the opportunity to lay his hands on Shambhavi) (3)
- Anmol, Ashutosh, Prabhjot (1)
- Ayaz, Snehashish, Sonel (2)
They all arrived in the order written above. Sneha was least expecting that Ashu’s team would be the very first one to arrive. and Nihal inspite of being from Bangalore reached last (his distraction was with him)…
… All in all, the roadies failed to reach within the stipulated time and lost the advantage(which I will tell you in a while)
The destination they landed was MBTA (Mahesh Bhupathy’s tennis academy). 3 guys and 3 girls were to play one by one against tennis professionals(guy against a guy and girl against a girl)… For each point scored, they will get Rs. 5000. Now the time to tell advantage which they lost. Had they reached on time, they would have played in doubles against a single pro. Big time loss…. Nihal, you looser !!!!
Anyways, people chosen for the operation were Snhashish, Ashu and Nihal (Ayaz left out due to his last week’s injury)… among girls, Anmol, Shambhavi and Prabhjot…..
Girls were hardly able to move their feet and the ball was missing even before they blinked their eye. Only Prabhjot was able to get one point and that due to a double fault from the opponent. I must say that, the girls this time are pros only when it comes to talking. No winning attitude…. Among boys, Nihal(2) and Snehashish(1) managed to get 3 points and all due to double faults. Only Ashu’s serve was exact, otherwise everbody else was hitting a ball for 6(as in cricket).
After earning Rs. 20000, they returned back to their hotel. In the evening, they were asked to gather in a garden for a surprise. The surprise was a dance performance by famous Bangalore troupe, Narutya(sorry for the spelling, I am not sure)….. It was an Indian contemporary dance, a mix of martial art moves, folk dance and expressions. After the performance was over, Ranvijay told them that it was their road to immunity. Snehashish got scared as he was not a dancer….. but everything has a first time….
The roadies would be divided into a team of 3 and each team would be given a theme to perform on. The winning team would get the immunity. The teams were
- Ashu, Anmol and Ankita
- Sonel, Prabhjot and Nihal
- Ayaz, Shambhavi and Snehashish
All the night they performed as their performance was next day itself. Their performance was in no way depicting an Indian contemporary dance. The night ended with Ashu’s funny jokes, Shambhavi’s supposedly serious choreography, Sonel’s strange and dumb expressions and to some extent, the “practice”….
Finally, the sun brought the D-day. and the performances were quite good(backed by fun)…. The team to win immunity was Sonel, Prabhjot and Nihal.
Now the elimination time… Shambhavi and Anmol were on the hit list of everyone except Nihal personal interest, you know)….
. I also expected that Shambhavi gonna go this time. But Raghu thinks the other way. He appeared at the time of voting and inspite of changing the rules, changed the game itself. He gave the 6(who were not able to win the immunity) roadies a chance to win immunity which would purely be based on luck. The one to decide the immunity would neither be a he nor she.. but “IT”.. yes, the immunity was decided on a Roulette table.

Prabhjot was obviously not happy with it. Anyways, its Roadies.. cant help it !!!!!!
The roadies would place a chit(with their name on it) on any one number on the table. The number on which the ball falls would get the immunity. The lucky winner was Shambhavi.
Now, another shocking twist….. The immunity would be given only to 3 people but the count was 4. How to decide it ? Who would decide it ? The roulette table brought a fortune to Shambhavi(what if it is not in the form of money!!!)… She was to decide who would be moved among already immune to non-immunity. She didnt take much time to think and named Prabhjot (expected it was)….. The tables were really turned. The prospective candidates now were Snehashish and Anmol…..
Finally, the countdown began and the votes landed in Snehashish(5) and Anmol’s(4) lap. The “backstabbers” were Ashu and Nihal…..
Highlights:
1. Raghu’s “Roulette” table strategy.

Ya dude, this time it was not interesting like the third episode. it seems no one is dat interested in performing money task(may be ayaz, ashu can do it while nihal is engaged in overconfidence, viks could do with much vigour) except immunity one… I like in the end that raghu insulted snehashish for his bad chivalary and told your thinking is wrong. Always first to go for benifit but not ready to go first for money task thats not the way to lead.

Nihal does not have an attitude to perform the tasks. Besides that, he has Shambhavi to play with, instead of tennis….
yeah, Raghu gave a proper gyan to Sneha… but Sneha also did the damage for Nihal…

But I guess looking at the trailer nihal is last 5 or last 3… may be he and shambhavi are helping each other so he may manage to be safe. chances this week are of anmol or ankita. Lets see who goes next…

The entire roadies freakshow is nothing but a hogwash with ektakapoor’s saas bahu serial twists and fear factor dares. As a biker, am sad that Herohonda sponsors such monkey crap shows which show false sense of biking. Am glad that these people weren’t riding in hills, can’t imagine the consequences when they crash in straight 6 lane roads!
and wtf was going in sumo about? I guess MTV chaps are scared that their Roadies will kiss the Road again if they ride the bikes
My take on Roadies: http://deadmanrides.blogspot.com/2008/02/roadies-stupidity.html
