MTV Roadies - Recap of Season 4

Over the last few years, Indian television has witnessed the phenomena which has already made half of Americans dumb - Reality TV. Numerous ideas were presented and quite a few made it to the little screen. There are ones that sank without a trace and then ones that really becaome popular. MTV Roadies is one of those popular ones and was recently back in its season 4, with new and young faces, bubbling with energy and vigour & rearing to go for an India tour on their KARIZMAS’.

The original 13 roadies were selected through auditions conducted in some major cities of India by a panel of 3 judges which included VJ Nikhil Chinappa. The show tests the mental and the physical strengths and weaknesses of the contenders by subjecting them to deliberate tasks and competitiveness and hence lure them towards trying to collect more money as their prize. Shocks, surprises, fun, friendships, fear, bitching, backbiting, anxieties, etc all become the show and forms quite an adventurous and interesting reality watch, especially for the younger audience.

This season the tasks got increasingly interesting. There was Kalarippayattu - an ancient form of martial art, and the roadies have to use sword, shield, hair, bad breath against the masters. Sometimes they are racing in Keralite snake-boats, while at other times they are trying to be archers.

Hosted by VJ Rannvijay who was a former Roadie, and with a tag line "Jo Kameena wahi Sikandar", this show has a few other attractions too. Gulshan Grover made constant appearances as “Bad Man”, making life on the show more tough for the bunch of enthusiasts. Well known Item girl, Rakhi Sawant was also there for one of the episodes, trying her best to make the Roadies shake a leg.

          Now after successive evictions, we are almost nearing the end of the show, as the final three- Bani, Anthony and Raj share the limelight together and fiercely compete against each other to win the ultimate MTV Roadie title. It shall make an exciting finale to watch out for…
