Roadies 5.0 – Journey 12
Only 3 roadies left now and with that the things are getting harder and much more exciting.
The tasks were very much fun-filled and challenging this time. The episode started with a journey of around 650 kms which the roadies covered in a ferri(boat like) and biking in the rain. On reaching the hotel, they all went off to sleep. The next day, Ranvijay met them at an Ostrich Farm. I was very much waiting for this task(from the time I had seen the trailers) and had met(even crossed the limits) my expectations. The ostrich ride was their last money task of the roadies series and the maximum amount they could win was Rs. 40000. The task involved lots of challenges as told by Ranvijay.
- There is no support to hold except the wings.
- To stop an ostrich you have to hold its neck
- To turn it right, you have to cover its left eye and to turn it left, cover its right eye.
For the first time riders, it was very much a challenge (same for the roadies also). But the task turned out to be full of fun and humour. Nihal fell off even before starting. Sonel covered the whole distance. For Ashu, the ostrich went awry.. I laughed out loud while watching that part.
The immunity task involved lots of focus and concentration. The roadies were supposed to balance a flag post on their forehead. Each roadie was given 3 chances and the best time was to be counted out of these 3 chances. The person balancing for the longest time would get the immunity. Ashu and Ankita(she accepted defeat while the demo was being given, quite strange on her part), were not able to do it. Only Sonel and Nihal managed to balance it for quite a time. In the end, Nihal emerged out to be the winner and immuned, as a result.
Voting out time came. Ranvijay offered to buy Nihal’s immunity for Rs. 70000(which would go into Roadies account). Nihal refused for the same and the norma vote out session began. Ankita(as expected) had to left with 3 votes to 1(for Sonel).
The next episode looks good as they showed a snapshot of Raghu and all the eliminated Roadies. An underwater task was also shown in the snippet. Lets wait and watch !!!
