And imagine the horror of all the wait and the tension building up inside of me to finally catch the repeat and come face to face with an episode like this. :|
Ok, I am going to keep this short and simple before I am administered my nymphatamine dosage for overexposure to content that highlights crap with a captial C.
Now, the start was promising enough. Mix comic book feel with manga style animation, and you get a lively potrait of Bangalore's flavour . Move over Aamir's ferocious Ghajini look, Banagalore boasts of its glared Rajani look. Overall, the start was fresh and different and it got me hooked thinking a hardcore episode lay in store for me.
Group Discussions are always about survival of the rowdiest and this was no different. Nature Baba tried to handle people in vain as the participants shouted and screamed to get their point across. The moderators listened, and then underwent a complex series of selection procedures (which involved ritualistic human sacrifices and Raghu being offered to the Devil ) to finally shortlist a few victims for the next day.
The PI is the most exciting part of the roadies auditions, and the one people observe most closely. When Chirag entered the room, I prepared myself for some real grilling sessions.
2.46 minutes later, I was half asleep, vacantly staring at the screen. Chirag babbled on about some nonesense which I cared the least and considering he looked like a doped hyena , his presence didn't do much to light up my mood. The twins finally got him out as I realised it would be one long show.
Entered Gurmeet Kaur, the female talkathon. She claimed to have been called for an modelling assignment (Really?O_O Must be a PETA save the elephants campaign) on Orkut by model co ordinators who gave jobs to pretty girls (Huh! Orkut and model co ordinators!!! I must be joining all the wrong communities >_<).She talked about how she moved to Banagalore and subsequntly got cheated. However she found her own calling and also found a guy who loves her but is too afraid to tell!!(Note: Do not anger human bulldozers, its a health hazard)
She talked and talked as the twins literally fell asleep listening. They tried vain attempts at calling her an idiotic and scary soul as she proceeded with her lectures. With all defences down, the twins did the best they could, politely ask her to leave.
And then, to the surprise( and more the horror), she got selected.
My Rating: 1.5/5 (A true challenger to Varisha in terms of a motormouth. Otheriwse uninteresting, loud and irritating, my biggest concern is will she even fit on a single bike?)
Varun was the next guy to take the seat as the twins found him their perfect target. He promised to do 25 push ups, was asked to do 35, and stopped at 24 :| He seemed smart and confident, but with an air of superiority all around. However he kept impressing me as he refused to part with his girlfriend for the show or even disclose her number. The twins kept on with their abuses which seemed considerably hollow because Varun looked like a sensible choice among the jokers. After a long grilling session, and making him topless ( and constant quibbles at his girlfriend) Varun was told to await his twist of fate.
And again, in another howler of a decision, he was NOT SELECTED!!!
Suddenly the atmosphere pumped up as our own RBG champ Aniket walked in to claim his stakes in the show. Here was one person I had observed closely as I had been an avid fan and follower of RBG. He was a smooth talker which shortlisted him in the battleground GDs among lakhs of people (which is immensely difficult as I myself took part and could come only till the top 170) and he was an champion of tasks( getting 800 people to kiss his cow dunged face!!!). I was sure it would be an entertaining premise , and I wanted to see him get selected and make the community proud.
And then began.....nothing actually ! :|
Aniket seemed as if he was held at gunpoint by a horde of killer robots as she just sat through as if he was in a hostage situation from the moment he entered the room. Raghu insulted RBG down to the core, calling it "typing on the net" (Seriously Raghu? I wonder how far you would have gone :|)and telling people on Orkut are losers giving baasi dialogues (Yeah right! As if he held the patent to swear words for Roadies and ever actually meant anything he said!!)
And to my horror, Aniket just sat their like badly scripted movie on Greek statues as he did not even try to defend RBG's name or the intense battle he had to fight to come out on top. (Let Raghu get 800 kisses on a cow dunged face...or even 1 kiss on a normal face!!!) The twins ripped him to the core, and poor Aniket was left a mockery of his champion self as he stuttered and sturggled and was finally shown the door.
I sat their awestruck, wondering what exactly happened to Aniket on that day? He is still a champ for me, but not in the same way I viewed him before.
Finally, two twins tried to challange Raghu. Salman spoke the most while his brother kept quiet. Salman bragged about his successes while his brother remained silent. It was a boring affair and obviously Salman's brother Naumen got selected.
My Rating: 1/5(Err..speak..people have been blessed with a tongue!!!!)
Overall , a colossal disappointment. I literally slept through half the show to see the one decent contestant get rejected, a babbling pyschopath and a dumb manaquin get selected.
Oh yes, also watched my hopes on Aniket get shattered. All hopes pinned on Roop now..!!
You just might be in for a surprise ^_^
Watch Roadies Hell Down Under travel to Chandigarh this Saturday to select the true lions of Punjab and turn over a disappointing Bangalore affair.
I will be waiting and bringing the reviews in as soon as it happens!
It's my MTV.
