Ridiculous Roadies

Well, first off, I don’t watch the show MTV Roadies, and I would advise any sane person not to. But, some months back, I did happen to stumble upon some audition-episodes of MTV Roadies on my college LAN. I will say without any doubts, it was the moment when I was most ashamed to be an Indian.

The Indian adaptation of the American show Road Rules portrays India’s youth in such a bad light, that I actually had to reassure some friends outside India, that all of the Indian youth are not so ridiculously dumb.

The show is now hosted by two alien looking bald men, who are twins and look freakishly alike, wear the same clothes and have the same facial hairstyle (God they’re identical twins Duh ! Sorry my brain was kinda impeded after watching a Roadies video on YouTube). They take every opportunity to show how they have absolutely no respect for anyone. They say their interviews are deliberately acrimonious so they can test whether the interviewee is a True Roadie. Now that’s the most ridiculous piece of crap I’ve ever heard in my life.

One of the baldies talks too much. And when it’s a girl in the opposite chair, he takes every advantage to know everything about the intimate side of her. Of course, our Miss Roadie is raunchily dressed to “press” home the advantage, and has so forgotten what her parents and teachers taught her (or did they ?).
He jumps on every double meaning word uttered, and shows how big a pervert he really is, and all he wants is just adultery. He makes sure every girl admits she’s kissed another girl. And when she so deliberately does admit, or lets it slip out, just watch the glint in his eye ( and his head ? ). You can see the satisfaction. All the hard work he put in to ask those shameless questions. Where else would he get his daily dough ?

That’s what this show is about.If this show was anything about biking, at least he would’ve asked something about their experience of riding a bike. But nahh.. who cares about bikes.. There’s a half clad female in front of him who’ll do “anything” to be a roadie, why let this chance slip ? Eh ?

And by the way, if you want to bike.. Just go to the damn shop. Buy a bike and ride the bike.. Why do you have to go to any audition of any kind to ride a bike ? Just rename the show MTV Come-and-talk-about-your-sex-life. That’s what the interviews are about.

If the candidate is a guy, of course he’s got to have a girl friend, otherwise why bother interviewing ? Righto ?

I’m just glad so many people find this show ridiculous. I remember the JAM Magazine article carrying a spoof on Roadies, where the Chinappa guy is referred to as mango-head. I swear his head looks like a mango ! Is that why they changed the co-host ?

Anyway, enough of digressions, If you’ve never seen this show.. Keep up the good work. And if you want to, why bother ? If you really want skin show then just put on FTV or just pop in the latest adult movie you borrowed! Why bother watching a group of young people destroying their lives and wasting their time over something so ridiculous that even my dead pet dog would’ve crapped over.

It’s really shameful of MTV to even start this show. The concept is not bad, but the execution is in a totally different direction. The average Indian viewer gets his skin-show dose from other channels. So why bother starting this show ?

Also, the judges’ capacity to analyze people is completely zero. They say that he is boring. Wait. What’s so exciting about two bald perverts ? Guess what guys ? You’re never going to tap the potential of the Indian youth like this. Roadies is one of the worst things to happen to India, leave alone Indian media. They go on to say “You’re coming up against the best in the world !” .. What ? A bunch of idiotic looking boys and girls who bitch about each other is the best in the world. Maybe ! If he is talking about the world of donkeys !

I just pray God blesses the Indian youth with some common sense.
There’s another one called “Splitsvilla” or something. I don’t know what’s it about and I’m glad.

Ignorance is Bliss.
