I once asked someone - Do you like watching Roadies on MTV? And pat came the reply - I hate it! I think thats how Roadies comes across to people in general. Either you hate it or you love it. I love the show. Its the best thing ever to happen to MTV, my TV screen and me too in no particular order.

The last episode left me speechless. I initially thought it was strange that there were no tasks to be performed by the Roadies. Then again, I reasoned - it must be one of those sudden change of moods that the producers seem to be affected more often than not. Then, at the end of the show, I get to know that it was because of some mix-up that they couldnt do the show and as a salvaging brainstorm, the last two roadies got to tight rope it with alarming results.

I felt let down. Purely as an after thought. Vibhor half walking, half running across the tightrope was a funny sight. That an injured Ankita had ample time to painfully drag herself across the rope and eventually fall down with a screaming - no! no! noooo…. was too bad. At least she trudged farther than Vibhor (thank god)

One of my favourite quirks on Roadies is Prabhjot’s pregnant pauses in the middle of her sentences. Speaking of which, was it only me or did Ankita sound like she was going in labour with her loud exhaling in yesterday’s task? Maybe it was just me, yeah.

Another point I found silly was upping the cash of Rs. 100 for one second to Rs. 500 by dear Rannvijay for the money task. Maybe he also realized that the way these Roadies are going, they would only accumulate 3 lakhs or so in the entire show. I was left wondering if Ashu was really a good guy what with going first for the task although he was the captain and could have gone last if he really wanted. Thought of Sneshashish for a moment there.

Echoing Raghu, I really dont care who wins Roadies 5.0. As long as they give us plenty of watchable material on MTV. My favourite line for yesterday was - There’s a strange growth on Vibhor’s neck. His head. Hahaha.
