Bloodshed In Gandhinagar

There was bloodshed in Gandhinagar! Raghu and Rajiv brought their evil vibes to the latest episode of Roadies and the Brats were decimated not by the hands of the brothers but by womanly wiles and manly delusions.

In the immunity task, Bobby was bullied into stepping into the coffin whereas Dev volunteered to step in for the 'benefit' of his team. The person that was left behind the coffin basically was out of the game and hare-brained Dev got his ass kicked out by an enraged Raghu. And before Raghu too left he bestowed upon the injured cry baby Bobby the right to grant immunity to two people.

Thanks to Dev's foolishness, Om Blues were safe but the Brats lay open to be voted out except for Bobby. As always they wanted to vote Suzanna out but then Bobby felt it might seem that they are picking on her and suggested Natasha's name and Sandeep protected Natasha saying she was his friend whereas Suzanna wasn't all that friendly towards him.

So in a group of pretty women like Roop, Bobby, Natasha and Suzanna megalomaniac Sandeep was irked that one woman was impervious to his boyish charms and wanted her out!

Suzanna knowing her pretty ass was being cooked by the narcissistic team mates sought the help of Samrat who told her to have a word with Tamanna and rest of the Om Blues team.

There had already been bad blood between Kiri and his ex-Brat mates, he couldn't stand the sight of Roop who he considered to be manipulative and Tamana hated Pradeep and Sandeep's guts for causing Nauman's departure.

The goose was cooked that night but it wasn't Suzy's but Roop's. Roop knew Om Blues would turn against her but she hadn't expected Natasha to vote against her as well.

Bobby cried tears of blood for granting immunity to her male buddies and not saving Roop but she hadn't expected Natasha to turn. Indian soap opera at its best!

The sense of betrayal was strong and there was a massive cat fight between the Brats' women (except for close to tears soft spoken Suzanna) where they called Natasha characterless and a conniving woman hiding behind an innocent face but what I saw at work wasn't some animosity due to personality clash between head strong beautiful women.

There was power struggle over the 'boys' between Natasha and Roop. Kiri had already said that Roop held the reins over the boys and that probably irked Natasha. Her response that Roop had to go sometime or the other didn't hold much water. There can only be one queen bee in the hive. Roop wanted Suzanna out since she was prettier and kind of snooty but didn't expect Natasha had a thing against her's and Bobby's bossy behavior. Natasha had kept her dislike well under wraps until the time was right.

A visibly upset Suzanna stood next to Natasha and the divisions between the group had become clear. Sandeep acted like a betrayed Lothario, Pradeep shook his head and Bobby continued to cry crocodile tears. Two against three but luckily for them in the next episode there aren't going to be any more gangs, every Roadie is going to be alone once again.

Next week's episode has some actual mud wrestling matches and get this there are babes lying on the field in shorts accusing each other of trying to pull each other's shirts up.

Yeah, maintaining one's dignity has never been a wannabe Roadie's forte;)

And the visas did come through. Some lucky Roadies (not all) will get to cry some outback croc tears in Australia.

'You can expect the unexpected' :- Ranvijay

MTV Roadies host Ranvijay speaks to Akshata Shetty about the additional highlights of the show and what he thinks of each of the contestants
Roadies is no more about how well you do a task. It’s much more than that,” says MTV’s hot shot host, Ranvijay Singh about the ongoing adventure show.
He says the aim of the makers is to make Roadies bigger and better each year “It’s a format that is well-known, as people have been following it. So when we audition contestants for the show, they are more open. I still remember when I was on the show as a participant, we were new and didn’t know what was happening. But today, these kids know everything.... That’s when you get to see all the fights and arguments on the show. Much like last year, this time also, we go international and it’s going to be Australia. We love India though and have shot at various locations in the country,” he says.
As an added highlight, Roadies has incorporated the ‘Making of the Episode’ post every show. Why? “Showing ‘Behind-the-scenes’ after every episode was a way to show our viewers that each task is tried and tested by our crew and only when it is ascertained to be safe, do we give it the green signal. We are real people after all and undergo stress and pressure. And the response for this part of the show has been overwhelming. Like people know Bumpy the director, Debi, Chhotu and others.”

Roadies is known for its unexpected twists and turns and that’s exactly what happened at the recent ‘vote out’.

Ranvijay says, “Roop was voted out because of Bobby’s decision to make Sandeep and Pradeep safe. Suzanna and Natasha are together. The show is not about luck, it’s all about how you strategise and stay in the game. You could do it in any way... keep a low profile, be nice to someone or play the right politics.”

Apart from all the fights and use of slang language, this series has had some truly funny contestants on board. Someone like Devashri, who everyone seemed to dislike... Ranvijay has a different take though, “I liked him. Whenever I communicated with him, he did sound confident. But I think he imagined some twists in the show that never happened. He goofed up in the last episode and had to be removed by Raghu and Rajiv. He expected to be patted for his leadership quality but his idea backfired,” he tells us.

Next week, the contestants will face another challenge before they fly to Austrailia. So was this season as fun as the previous ones? “More than fun, it has been exhausting. Yes, I did have fun with the unit. And for the further episodes you can still continue to expect the unexpected,” he promises.
