I waited anxiously for last Saturday 7 pm which flagged the MTV Hero Honda Roadies 5.0 journey at Goa. Since I’ve never seen a banana boat forget actually ride one, I think the contestants did a good job keeping it all together. Except for the part when they fell head first into the water. Ouch. I noticed my favourite roadie, Ashutosh was the first one to climb back and pulled the others back on the boat.
I did not like it even one bit when the pretty little Shambhavi remarked something like this about him: “He dances pretty much like an Indian. Phail phail ke nachta hain.” I wonder if she thinks charming Raghu was all she had to do to become a roadie. Now thats someone I wouldnt be sorry to see the back of…
Speaking of the devil, Raghu shows up and suddenly two roadies are voted out in the very first episode instead of one! Major shocker. Its actually fun to watch all these kids plan & plot and back stab each other. My impression of the final 11 roadies are as such:
Vikrant: Its irritating how he keeps saying – Backstabbing is the essence of this game – Although I must say, he looks very good in pics of his Orkut profile.
Ashutosh: “Chabi khuli toh jai ram ji ki, woh bhi waise hi hai, hum bhi waise hi hai” God, this guy is priceless. I hope he wins!
Anmol: Betrayed Simran. Will be rightfully paid back in the same coin someday – I hope so. (Heard news of Ankita (Simran) coming back. Very word impossible says I’m possible, hope she makes it back into the show)
Ankita: She should please stop grimacing while speaking. My eyes are getting strained just watching her. Anyhow, I like her spunk.
Snehashish: Schemer, no doubt. I think his favourite word is – mastermind. Is he one? We’ll have to wait & watch.
Nihal: I like this guy. He’s a dark horse allright. Good luck!
Shambhavi: Does she owe her presence in Roadies 5.0 merely because of Raghu’s gullibility? Another wait & watch case.
Prabhjot: I keep remembering her defiant – “What Bani style?” in response to Raghu’s accusation in the stress interview. She looks tough.
Ayaz: Cute guy. Captain of the losing blue team. Couldnt drink a hot cuppa espresso for his team. Walked out of his stress interview in the end because of a misunderstanding. Cute guy. He needs to Step Up, the Apprentice-style.
Vibhor: I wonder how he looks clean-shaven. Thats the one thing on my mind since I first saw him. Looks like a decent guy btw.
Sonel: I hope her proposal to Ashutosh was accepted! Her exact words were – Agar main teri girlfriend ban jau, toh tujhe kaisa lagega? I’m dying to know his response. Saturday 7 pm is one long, awaited day.
Rinchen
a small correction its snehashish and not Snehajit.
i have been watching roadies for last 5 yrs(since rec days:)) those days were so much fun but now its all about backstabbing and dunno what not..well i am also waiting to see ashutosh’s reply even if sonel is a dumbo
I loved the post roadies show…the making. Did you catch it? It was so much fun..the crew is really cool…I wish I worked for MTV!
Heres my opinion..
Vikrant He is camera crazy. But strong contender maybe because of his age…seems more sure about himself than the rest.
Ashutosh…This guy is the most decent of the lot…but we knew that already didnt we
Anmol, Raghu was so right about her. SNOB!
Snehashish, I like this guy…he is cunning but at least he admits to it.
Nihal, Didn’t leave an impression on me…not even during the auditions.
Shambhvi, Probably the only person Raghu was wrong about. She is anything but sweet. In fact she controls the whole ‘delhi’ group. Hope she is kicked out asap.
Prabhjot…shes got guts…
Ayaz…again didn’t leave much of an impression…have to wait and watch
Vibhor…cute but boring?
Sonel..she is turning out to be a disappointment..she really doesnt care much about anything does she? Everyone else is right about her though..she is just here to have fun.
sandeep was so coolllllll
Riya: Thank you! I corrected it! Oops… Hehehe
I remember watching bits & pieces of Roadies before but am hooked this season onwards. Such fun!
@Shradha: Yeah, The Making of Roadies was fun, esp the voting out part. Rannvijay couldnt help laughing that time!
Yeah, Anmol is a SNOB. God, she says she doesnt like anyone & is so irritated with everyone. Agree with you completely regarding Shambhavi – she’s going to flirt next with Vibhor – uff.
Sonel does seem a tad nonchalant. I wish she was a little more tuned in. Is her next move with Ashu a planned one???
As for Ayaz, you know – I thought he was very cocky during his interview. Now I think he’s brought back to earth after failing as a captain. Hope he does better.
Sonel…I think it was some kind of a dare. Happened in season 1. Either that or shes just pulling his leg…I won’t read too much into it but u never know!
Man, you gals have so much time on your hands!
@Shradha: U never know, yeah!
@GWBE:
Multitasking being the ‘essence of the game’
i hate shambhavi…
RingChen, it’s fascinating how all of us could go on this Hall-Bol strike against non-Roadies who didn’t deserve to be thr in the very first place!!!
(Reference: Anmol, Shambhavi)
I don’t know why those two girls r somewhere where it looks like they’re trying to win either a popularity contest or a bitch-me game spree, either way it’s WORKING!!!
And I think any smart girl would definitely like Ashutosh, he’s so damn down-to-earth and straight; and helpful….did you see how he helped that ***** Shambhavi when she couldn’t shit in the compost pit or whatever it’s called???
:S
Guys like that
I thought it was Ashu who used the toilet first and then added earth for Shambhavi out of guilt
Ugh… I just had my breakfast, feel like throwing up….
These two chicks arent Roadies by any angle. They’re a Complaint Queen and a Flirt Master. Thats all they are.
