If youth oriented programmes are like this than I will surely not hesitate in criticizing them.
The good part about the show(If it is real and not scripted) is that it shows you every aspect of group dynamics, it will show you how much do we hate each other and how degraded works can we do for fame on the national television. Even MTV does not seem to be a music channel now; rather it must bear a tag of “only for above 18”.
I still don’t understand why do they think that absurd language, idiotic clothes and unwanted quarrels are “demand of youth in television”? I used to like this show and especially Raghu “The man behind Rodies”. The way he used to reach the interviewee’s psychology and the real person behind Him/her was really fantastic. But over the period of time the show has really became absurd and it seems to work without any logic. Every now and then Raghu will come and for sure there will be an unwanted twist in the show. The way he has been portrayed in the show is nothing less than “Rajnikanth” in movies which is only acceptable in movies but not the reality shows.
The language used by the contestant is really stupid and the show has started getting a look of fabrication like other reality shows and joining the league of more idiotic shows like Splitsvilla. Most of the time Raghu used to shout on contestant unnecessarily which is becoming boring now and looks completely awkward.
I agree that the show is to find out those people who are tough from body and brain but now contestant who are being selected do not even deserve to be there. The producers must understand that the show is losing its most important aspect which was “Thrill” and just taking the show abroad will not make it good rather now days it looks so fabricated that “Rakhi ka Swayamwar” seems very close to it. Abusive language may be a part of today’s youth culture and I will not hesitate in accepting it. But it is bad to show it unnecessarily only for TRP. The show and task given in it are now losing logics and the “Larger than life” portrait of Raghu is giving boost to these illogical sequences.
I have no doubts that the man behind Rodies has brain to perform better and make the quality of show better again but I am not sure whether he will do it or not.
