Wow !! what an episode… The funniest and the complete entertainer despite one thing which I did not like. and that was the return of Varun and Ankita in such a way.  They just got their visas stamped without undergoing any challenge. Not fair !!!!

At times, Raghu also fall short of ideas…

The journey started from Chennai International Airport wherein the roadies were to take off to Bangkok. The crew was quite excited and all were showing off the artifical smiles and giving artificial hugs to each other. Baseline is still the same – everyone wants to emerge out as the winner.

Laying down their foot in Bangkok’s hotel(where the stay was organised), was like a heaven for them. big rooms, jacuzzi, and what not…. As the roadies landed in their area of comfort, they got the first shock. And that was the appearance of Varun and Ankita. Quite unfair as I already wrote. Again the synthetic smiles and hugs…. Next was the scroll, which Vibhor(the captain, this time) read. Ranvijay had asked them to come over to place called Posiedon pub/club(whatever u people say), for their first international task. As soon as they entered the club, they saw some girls dancing/stripping/seducing on a stage. Roadies were like “aaaaaaa”, their mouths were kept wide open(if they had seen this for the first time). After those girls finished dancing, Ranvijay surfaced and shocked them revealing that those “girls” were “lady boys”(boy disguised as girls)…. The roadie guys were like “yuuukkkkkk”. This was the task that they were supposed to perform to increase their bank balance.

Then started the process of waxing, leg shaving, makeup on boys to make them lady boys… Boys were in such a pain. Sonel was kind of taking revenge from Vibhor as he was saying some crap things about girls for getting this wax stuff…. Nihal was just adding fuel to fire. One of the lady boys was kind of falling for Vibhor…. After that was the time to perform….. Nihal’s hip shaking, Varun’s girly lean look, Ashu’s bollywood(Rakhi Sawant) style item number, Vibhor’s eye contact with Ranvijay and girls seducing moves added fun and entertainment to the episode. All in all, the effort put in was quite appreciating. Roadies were able to add Rs. 20000. (actually they earned Rs. 40000, thanks to Pradeep for rectifying, )

The next morning, Ranvijay asked roadies to meet him at floating market. Such a huge market and that too on a river/lake. This market is known for quoting high prices for every small thing. Well, bargaining is also a kind of skill… Ok, back to the task. Ranvijay gave them a list of 20 items all written in the native language. The roadies were to buy those things in a timeframe of 30 minutes.  There will be 4 teams comprising one boy and one girl. Each girl has to choose a partner through a “lucky draw” . The teams were

• Sonel and Nihal
• Varun and Ankita
• Shambhavi and Ashu
• Vibhor and Prabhjot

As the market is known for traffic, the task was to be carried out in a group of 2. Any two teams will go first and after they finish, the remaining 2 teams will perform the task. First one to go were, Nihal’s and Varun’s team. Boy o Boy, shopping there is really a tough task. Trying to pronounce the item in their language, bargaining, abusing, cursing and what not was there…. Sonel speaking english in Chinese accent. “No money, Little money”…..The 2 teams managed to buy some things but could not make it to the starting point in 30 minutes time due to traffic. Hence, disqualification was a gift for both these teams.

Next was the turn of Ashu’s and Vibhor’s team. They managed to accumulate quite a stuff and also were able to make it back to the starting point within the time limit. Final decision was in favour of Prabhjot and Vibhor. So, they got the immunity and could not be eliminated.

I wonder how the crew captured this task in camera

On coming back to hotel, the discussions started again as whom to vote out this time. People in limelight were Nihal and Shambhavi. Nihal, reason being, he has formed a team (with Ashu and Sonel) and others could not digest it. Shambhavi, I don;t think anything is there to explain that…..

Well, came the voting time… 8 people, equal votes against Nihal and Shambhavi.. then they both selected one person each and one person combined to decide the elimination. Nihal chose Ashu and Shambhavi chose Varun. For the third person, they did not agree on any of the person’s vote. So, Ranvijay adopted another strategy to count the third vote. He called Vibhor to select one of the card (which were upside down) randomly. To Nihal’s luck, it was Sonel’s vote. So, Shambhavi’s count increased to 2. She left after some arguments with Nihal.

Quite surprisingly, she was abusing Nihal for not respecting girls. Add to that, Prabhjot was feeling bad for her, and also Shambhavi left a godobye note for Prabhjot…. What’s cooking guys ??

Chow,
