The Journey:
The journey begins from the barren lands of Bhuj in Gujarat and continues to enter North Africa covering Egypt, Kenya & Tanzania. Rannvijay leads the pack at the beginning to give the journey a start with an added oomph! All that and more when you mix Africa with the 7 Sins! Don’t miss your chance to be a part of ‘MTV Hero Honda Roadies: The 7 Sins’ as it promises to thrill, chill and electrify you.
Get Ready:
New character this year is the one & the only – IRRFAN KHAN!
Irrfan comes in & throws open 7 twists to the contestants throughout the season, when they least anticipate it of course! With over 60 films to his credit, this NSD student has proved himself over & over again as an actor par excellence; and on Roadies, expect the unexpected from him!
Whats Roadies?
MTV Roadies has been a very popular reality show in India that is telecast on every Sunday at 19:00 hours on channel MTV India. Raghu Ram and Rajiv Laxman are the men behind Roadies and the show is hosted by Rannvijay, who happens to be the winner of MTV Roadies 1.0. Unlike contestants chasing for money and fame with rendition of songs or twisting pelvis, MTV Roadies is an adventure-reality show which aims to test not only the courage but also spirit of young contestants, as they tour the country on bikes (a pre-decided route) facing all kinds of climatic vagaries and other challenges.
The contestants will face challenges that include but not limited to bungee jumping, fire walking, some times even banana gulping or ice cream slurping etc.The final five MTV roadies are gifted a Hero Honda Karizma bike. The man or woman that stands through last will also get Rs. 5 lakh in cash. Prior to selecting contestants, there will be preliminary auditions episodes that will be held in cities including Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chandigarh and Kolkata. These preliminary auditions will feature several challenges such as group discussions and the selected few will be called in for a one-on-one interview.
It is here that the contestant’s attitude, tolerance and then the patience levels will be tested. MTV Roadies 6.0 saw as many as 20 roadies vying to become the best Roadie; a vote-out at end of every episode, reducing the number of roadies by one every week. From Season 4 the fever picked up well and conspiracy theory clicked very well so did the mind games. The kind of razzmatazz that MTV Roadie 5.0 fetched, Raghu Ram must have sought some better trade tips.
Although we’d followed MTV Roadies 6.0 I didn’t find it quite the way I’d expected it to be. Life is an adventure and I love to take life the risky way but in all honesty some of the tasks given to roadies reflect the sicko traits of the contest designers; collecting dung and human potty? C’mon what does it has to do with a roadie’s confidence I damn understand the logic behind this. It doesn’t need to emulate any other show, but the ideas could be much better.
