roadies burning out....


I love Roadies; I really do which is why I continue to watch it despite a series of uncharecterizing episodes in season 6 of India’s longest lasting reality show.

Saturday 7 PM was the only time I switch on my TV set for a purpose else I treat it as an idiot box. Now am wondering do i need to give those 90 minutes of price to Television…

Episode 1 – Elimination of undeserving roadies
I know you had to begin the season with a bang but don’t you think you are getting a little too carried away by that fact or is it to do with recession I clearly don’t know why you had to eliminate them; whatever it is the episode got more complicated and unreasonable!!

Episodes 2, 3 &Moving on...

Poor training of the roadies is very evident: their bad presentation and immature behavior is very irritating. I just wanted to switch it off but something held me back; probably it’s the history of this memorable show going way back to the camaraderie & team spirit showcased by Ran Vijay & Co in season 1 to the roadies’ spirit by Nihal in the last season.

And what is it with the prolongation of the episode to the next week?? Do I have to wait for 15 days to watch one of them getting eliminated, just ‘cause somebody was celebrating his b’day party. That’s very sad!! I may be wrong there but that’s exactly what 15 days can do to one.

Later Episodes:
I see the same trend continuing… and also no difference whatsoever with the so called roadies’ attitudes and thoughts or to me a bunch of kids with loose talks, dismal task performances, irritating attitudes, poor chemistry between one and another and to put it all in one word and quoting Ranvijay “SPINELESS”.
Adding to it, the tasks were not great as well!

I know Raghu’s strong observational power, ability to analyze and judge human behavior played a huge factor in casting the right people so far, But looks like that’s not enough, at least in the 6th year into running.
The only ROADIE for me on the show is your crew member who limped back to work after that gory injury.

Finally the big respite at the end of the episode not cause it ended but cause we see Raghu’s comeback; hoping that’s the same with the show too.
