A Circus called MTV Roadies

What are the similarities between a Circus and MTV Roadies 5.0.? Circus has clowns, so has and are the "Roadies" . Circus has a ringmaster, so has Roadies in the form of Spectacled and bald Ragu. You have acts in circus, well you have tasks in Roadies. You have a naive audience for circus, ditto for Roadies, including myself.

The best part of the Roadies, as often its been for the past few years, is the auditions. The production team ensured the auditions are as controversial, graphic and spicier than they can get. Well, have they won the TRP game?, yes they have. Auditions would be hot topic every now and then. The final 11 Roadies line up was as disappointing as the auditions went. This time the game went international, from Goa to Kaula Lumpur.

Roadies, in my opinion is everything an individual should NOT be doing in this Team oriented world. Being bitchy, backstabber, cheat are the "cool" things a Roadie can do to proceed in the game. Well I do understand this a game, where one has to survive no matter what, my primary fear is the misconception that is created in the mind of the youth of today. Mistrust is all one lives with, without understanding the perils and beauty of human relationships and trust. Teams have done wonders.

Anyways, cant deny it, I was hooked on to the show towards the final weeks. The winner was announced this Saturday 24th May. In the last few weeks, it was evident the fight was between Ashu, Sonel and Nihal. Ashu and Nihal, made it to the final two. Nihal had this dubious record of being the most hated Roadie on the show. The hatred more so came from the female participants in the show, baring Sonel, whom Nihal along with Ashu considered his best pals. Their friendship ensured they remained till the end.

The final tasks were performed by the roadies who were voted out in earlier rounds. And considering the drama the show had in preceding weeks, the final was a downer. A dull and out Sonel, decided who among Nihal and Ashu would be the eventual winner. So it was Ashu, the Jatt Dhaabewaala from Haryana who was crowned the winner of the show.

Attitude, the only thing one can take away from this show. A roadie's attitude comprises of never say die, dont care what others say or think about you and if needed f*** anyone to get ahead in the game of life!
