MTV Roadies 6
29th November, 7 P.M onwards. MTV realized cult dimensions with music and then diversified its path to reality shows. It expectedly championed even this territory. Few years ago the channel forayed into a youth-specific formula of success. The format was titled MTV Roadies. It aimed at picking city and town youths from various disciplines, those who were more likely of being on the positive side of the youth graph, and pitted them against each other at a very competitive level.
The aim of the program was to find a boy or a girl who could be resilient enough in overcoming back-to-back travails of daunting adventures and peer conspiracy. The show brought to us the guile of Nikhil Chinappa, an MTV icon in his own rights, and Raghu Ram, whose fierce eyes and stoic appearance seemed enough to unnerve even Prometheus.
Those answering to the Roadie call were to first go through the grind of a rigorous selection process where they matched stock with the two giants. Nikhil has always been cocky and effusive with his study of candidates. Raghu brought the fear factor despite being fairly unassuming.
After being rigorously tested, few of the candidates were selected and then the Roadies adventure started. Spread over more than a month, candidates had to pit their powers against each others. Physical competitions, back bitching plans, voting out a fellow Roadie; all was aimed at lasting out the others for the eventual tag of the Roadie winner.
Traveling long distances over bike formed a quintessential part of the adventure. Bounties did not equal that being offered by other reality shows but the intrinsic realism and youth adventure propelled the participants to give their best shot.
MTV Roadies 6.0 is soon to begin. It has brought along feverish anticipation and rightly so. Let’s now get into some details. Roadies 6.0 have pre-defined criteria. The contestants must be 18 years of age and Indian nationals. They should involve themselves with Roadies at their own risk and they would not be indemnified in any way. Further they should also have a two-wheeler license and a passport.
The general round of interview is intentionally made a little caustic. This adds spice to the show and at the same time helps in meticulous reading of a character; once they are subjected to pressure from external stimulus. Raghu Ram has rightly warned that the interview rounds might take certain unexpected route to catch the contestants off guard. This is in keeping with the theme of the show.“Expect the unexpected”
Another surprise in the offing, the details of which have been revealed by Roadie-team, is the introduction of Rajiv, twin brother of Raghu Ram. Now this is a marketing stratagem. Later, as the show proceeds, it can turn out to be a source of masterful deceit.
Despite declared animosity and biting acidity by the judges, the participants and viewers are on a consensus that the judges prefer the most genuine participants at the end and keep the Roadies spirit alive by making fair calls. Conspiracies are fine but overindulgence is detestable.
People can audition any number of times for the Roadies 6.0 and hence it is advisable to start auditioning from the first venue, Ashutosh is a testimony to this. He was selected after 2 prior rejections.
Participants are well advised to show their real face. Fake Portrayals may land them in thick soup. After all, the judges are no mean people.
Raghu might like to go a fair bit overboard with his hypertensive technique. This has to be coolly handled as this is just meant to be a test of composure.
Grapevine is abuzz that Immunity tasks, advantage tasks and money tasks may be modified in structure or altogether new variants may be introduced.
Though Roadies may spring a surprise by backing out, plans are on for turning Roadies 6.0 into anIndia vs Pakistan challenge.
