Double Disaster!

It actually took some junoon/passion in me to actually carry on writing this one, because I was stubborn enough not to waste my time after such a disappointing fare! The least said about it the better, but oh well.

After an impressive Chandigarh bonanza, Roa7ies travelled to Delhi to hunt for potential victims. What they found however were scarce show stealers amidst truckloads of trash.

Still interested? Read on...


Rahul/HaXXoR/ Mind Reading Baba: This guy had an obsession for hacking and could use his boyish charms to peep into several accounts. What we saw was a quick fire hacking session, a list of hacked accounts and some weird psychobabble of "social engineering". In typical Borat-ish fashion, I ask..."Whaaai?"

He talked, he guessed Nikhil was loyal in his marriage and his fixed eye movement could give the creeps at Zombieland a run for their money. But he was sincere, good in what he believed in, and an interesting mincemeat. SELECTED!

Yashita: To call her a figure of DISAPPOINTMENT would be a serious understatement! Is this what RBG finalists have been reduced to? Cocky arrogance and "attention seeking" shorts? After a failed attempt at a miserable seduction, and a dance representing the mating call of a gazelle, she did not have a thing in her to prove any spark to the judges. An obvious call this, REJECTED!

Bharti : I like! Seriously. Self confident, ambitious and without any inhibitions about the challenges in front of her, she was one of the rare show stealers in Delhi. With a charming smile and a winning attitude, she was an instant hit with the judges.
I prefer her to Rakhi ka Swayamvar any day! Offcourse, she was SELECTED!
b]Sahebjeet/Muscleman: Ok , so he has the brawn for the tasks. But where is the brain ?? A boring PI full of fixated stares and some weird dance moves later , I still fail to find a single reason what makes him better. That leaves me clueless about how he got SELECTED!

Priyanka: Ambitious and confident with a troubled love life. Where have I seen this before? Oh wait, in EVERY city so far! What's with the emotional atyaachar?? Am I to guess that an average performer with a scarred intellect stands a better chance rather than a blatant in your face participant? As I pondered such useless mysteries of the universe, the judges gave us one more reason to make Roa7ies a soap saga as she was SELECTED!

*Sniff, sniff, I got rejected by this hawt chick in college. Me try for Roadies 8 (Row8ies)^_^*

As if the Delhi disaster was not mind numbing enough, we go to Bengaluru, which after Nauman threw up a lot of expectations this year.Surely we could get some true Roa7ies there?

*rant starts*

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!(Tears of joy/desperation/acidity!)

*rant ends*

Ankur the last year Roa7ies evicton, made it through again. Shocking to hear he left college and his focus on life over one failure! I sympathise, but NOT COOL dude! Be focussed on something that would shape your life, not just 15 minutes of fame. Judges thought on similar lines. REJECTED!

Zaid was the MBBS student who got cross dressed and managed to patao three guys for a loving marriage. Confident and creepy. Judges seemed impressed at his focus. SELECTED!

Zunaid/ dropped his pants(literally!) in his African quest as he failed to make a "low cut" trade for some essential garments! Arrogant yet confused, has a long way to go . REJECTED!
Random Girl #57: Africa has black bears and anocandas(Anacondas!). Also tigers and lions in the same class. Vultures too as birds and animals are same to same.

Kya aap Darsheel Safari se tez hain?

Apparently not as her hilarious stupidity made for some rib cackling moments. Perhaps attending that Geography and Biology lesson would have been a good idea.

*Some other entries and exits. Random butt shots during push ups and headstands. Corny jokes, plugs for Mountain Dew. No stuffed horse :-( Show ends*

Seriously?THAT WAS IT?? Two cities and 5 people most of who seemed equally lost as the rejections! No grilling/ test of character/profile assasination?? NOTHING!

What we have is random jokes, laughter challenge tasks and a lot of screaming which just gives me a headache!

Its official. Nikhil is running a one man show. The double Cyrus combo is a miserable bomb and not a single PI is actually worth viewing for character traits of the selected guys.

Roa7ies is spiralling down an abyss of mediocrity! All I see is darkness beyond.

Next week Mumbai. Expect stuff like:

a) Get random guys to marry you while screaming your head off.

b) Dance, growl like animals and make weird gestures

c)Act unfunny. No, seriously, it looks funny on screen!

Jump like giggling girls after a first make over session once selected.

I for one will have no expectations. Hopefully, you will!

*A Ride To Hell...an EPIC fail!*

And it is very easy to classify anything. Let me attempt describing a regular Roadies episode last year.

Demented chick/ guy acts funny
Raghu yells
Kid from a broken family cries
Rajiv abuses
Some random sweet girl blabbers
Raghu smiles, Rajiv nods
Macho boy from Chandigarh shows his muscles and brains
Raghu yells
Macho boy leaves crying
Raghu yells, Rajiv yells

Get the point? It is easy to put anything and everything under a "format" Have nothing against your interpretation of the show, but have just one submission. The judges do not make bulk of the show. The people do. And I promise you we have got some of the best Roadies this year. Wait for the show to take off!

I literally fell asleep in between for sometime.. In every single move the show was getting boring.. This time even the contestants where also enough boring ...

I am not still sure why I am not able to grab this format and try to love it..! It seems to be one of those soaps which comes at 9 and 10 in other channels ..Feeling so sad! but still i am sure the ride will make it interesting ..But as always I stand to this audition should have been better!

Somewhere I feel that many of the good people are getting rejected ..because of this new online format..May be the real roadies material would be in one of those persons whose form has been rejected at the first shortlisting itself.. ..It's just a feeling..but ..
I've many weird questions in my mind. Why the shit are some random celebrities being called in for the PI for some footage, when they're NOT playing any major role in the selecting people. And then, I've always believed that Roadies is a show which will NEVER need a celebrity to sell itself, and neither it has done it on a regular basis in the last 6 seasons, then why this year? Is this also included in the "changed format" of this year!? Or, maybe.. I'm just over reacting. But, on a serious note; I don't find any sense in bringing a celebrity to the auditions just to increase some TRP's, which actually fall down on seeing a celebrity on Roadies. Roadies itself is a celebrity in own, then, why another celebrity in it? Whatever the thing maybe, all we can do is; sit in front of our television screens, and hope for the best from the next episode every time!
