Yes ! it , the inevitable happended again , being jobless ( synonymus to a Public servant) , and being in a shitty place named Dahod some where in Tribal Gujarat, these days i am watching Saas bahu serials regularly , in betweeen , i again was subjected to agony of watching " The Roadies"- Chandigarh Edition .If the Earth is a petri dish and human-beings are bacteria, then Roadies
is the point where the bacteria go rogue and become a terminal disease.
Roadies is, to put it simply, an indefensibly awful show. I don't even
know why they call it Roadies. They could just call it "Stupid People
on TV: Chandigarh Edition".
This is a show where contestants are humiliated, beaten, sworn at, abused and screamed at by a pair of judges who look like a malnourished version of Right Said Fred. If contestants survive that onslaught, they get put on TV, where they are humiliated, beaten, sworn at, abused and screamed at by each other. All this because they "want to be a Roadies".
More entertaining is the fact that these kids almost seem to enjoy being put through the ordeal, like they think we're laughing with them. This may also have a lot to do with the fact that the average Roadies contestant has the IQ of oatmeal. I mean, you have to be reasonably stupid to take shit from two guys who thought being in Tees Maar Khan was a good idea. How stupid is the average Roadies contestant? Well, one confessed she'd attempted to once kill herself. When asked why, she said it was because a friend did black magic on her. Another, when asked a question he had no answer to, simply pointed at his sneakers and says "Look, I am cool. I have Skechers brand shoes. Just got from US. Not launched in India also." Unsurprisingly, he went far on the show.
And the point is… well, the point is what exactly? If they survive the ordeal, one guy gets a motorcycle, another becomes a VJ on MTV, the one that comes third celebrates by going on another reality show, and two others realize nobody watches MTV anymore, so they go off and make an MMS and become properly famous instead.
In the end though, I'm as guilty as anybody else. I love Roadies. I'm transfixed by it in the same way that I am by the sight of two dogs mating; it's horrible, and yet riveting. It's like watching common sense hang itself live on TV, and everybody loves a good hanging.
