Group of mean youngsters. All of them
out on a paid holiday. Armed with a license to bit*h, shower
profanities, ride the Karizma bikes across the country, and compete
with each other to be declared the hottest sucker. MTV Roadies Season
4 was a total disappointment. It was a show where the competitors
were not good enough and end of the day the whole thing was a
’no-show’.
Loaded with undignified catharsis,
roadies pulled youngsters to view the show(including me. I
watched every episode of Season 4). Howling girls was nothing unusual
in this show. But it was sad to see men become bit*hes. All of them
wanted money. None of them was displaying the character of roady!
(except of course Rupaali. She is so sweet).
Believe it or not. It was a pogrom. A
bloody pogrom. Nothing else. Bani and Anthony, together they
organized it. All through the show they were together. With luck on
Bani’s side the two contestants for Roadies 4 soon became winners.
Anthony was the chosen one. Bani was the un-official winner. The two
love birds played the most fantastic game one has ever seen. Anthony
like butter continued to titilate everyone’s taste-bud till the
cholesterol in their veins choked them all to an attack.
13 Roadies. All armed with a gregarious
facade played the game of eliminating each other. They were never
together. Except of course the love-birds. The show(when it started
as Season 1) was quite cool. It was a new concept. Though with season
4 of Roadies the show reached a cul-de-sac of its original sense. In
my opinion the recently culminated season was devoid of any gumption.
But even then it was fun.
Despite sonorous claims that the
episodes of season 4 were less less interesting, caused dolorous
viewing, I admit being an addict. Every Saturday, at 7 pm, like a a
honest and a dedicated viewer I would humbly switch on my television
and press the MTV button.
The roadies, since its inception in
2003 was meant to pick from a chosen lot a guy or a gal who rocks.
The winner should have an undying love for adventure, should be a
fun-freak, team person, loaded with attitude, individuals and tough.
The judges went around the country picking suitable contestants.
Every direction they went hoards of losers clangered around in
masses. Some were so desperate that they traveled across cities to be
on the show. Other simply wanted to try out their luck or have fun.
No wonder, most of them were clueless.
The jury was the worse. Just to check
if a person was tough they would throw weird tantrums. And they were
really soft on girls. Grow up guys. Be real. They picked up many
losers. For instance Raj. During the interview he claimed he was not
a virgin. But when he gets married he would make sure that his wife
is a virgin! Double standards or what?
The contestants were required to
perform various tasks while they traversed the various corners of the
country on Karizma. The tasks were not difficult but at times
required the display of team spirit, strength of an individuals and
blah blah.
At the end of every episode a
contestant was eliminated. Not surprisingly just before the
elimination the entire team would break into closed groups, making
strategies to eliminate the sharpest contender. There was total lack
of trust. Nothing new, sh*t happens and it happens in everyday life
too.
Bani and Anthony. Both an aitam. I
would not be surprised if soon he proposes Bani. A complete witch,
Bani professed being a psycho. She would scheme to eliminate all the
female contenders, act weird and scream profanities. Probably she was
an insider. MTV it seems planted her.
But if she was not an insider then she
schemed really well. Always vocal, masqueraded beneath her outbursts
was the love for Anthony.
The real winner was Anthony. No other
guy was as different as this young man was. Anthony, the cool dude
even cried just before being pronounced as the hero. Thats a real
roadie! He cried not for himself but for Bani.
Someone from MTV claimed that the
contenders for the season 4 are tougher than their earlier
counterparts. I guess thats a farce. If men becoming btchs and
girls screaming profanities is a sign of toughness.then I humbly
disagree.
I am waiting for the next season to
begin. Absolutely love this show. But I guess MTV needs to do better.
Good contestants, with fighting spirit, need to be on the show. Not
losers, grumblers or schemers.
