Sorry guys got delayed today. Lots of things going on around home. Anyways I'm here with my review now!
Akshay's entry - He makes an underwater entry on his popular Blue song. Yep I like. I like everything this guy does so why wouldn't I like that? 😆
D2D music - I liked how the contestants and Akshay broke into an impromptu as the song started playing. And they were as energetic as in the music video. Good use of the music. 👏
Keeping Ritvik away - Please that's just too harsh. There's no way you are making him feel good about himself by keeping him away from everyone. 🥱
The challenge - The way they introduce the challenge it always sounds like the contestants don't know anything about the challenge when last week we saw in XR that the contestants were practicing dancing underwater. Please don't fool us. 🥱
The showcase of talent - A nice move like last week they had professionals showcase their dance in the same "dance floor" where the contestants will dance. It boosts the contestants and also shows us what it means to do this professionally as maybe a career. 👏
Akshay's expertise - Akshay wasn't just chosen as a host because he's good at his job. No it's because he knows his stuff. Even if he was taught it the way he explains it to the contestants and us makes you feel that he knows his stuff. And that's why I like that they chose him as a host. 👏
Partners - Ah now I understand. I thought the contestants were going to partner with each other, but they brought their partners in from elsewhere, but it looks like they're all locals. That's a good move because one contestant won't bog down another contestant. 👏
Emily's performance - Once again she chooses a Bollywood song which I feel is a great move. And she chose one of my favourites, Sun Raha Hai, though it was the female version. Watching her I realized how hard it is to dance underwater. But she and her partner did a splendid job. I do wish she had some props though. And then the way she removed her googles and oxygen mask at the end was a good dare. Akshay went over to tell her that she did excellently. And she gets 2 greens. Well done!
Ritvik's performance - His morale is down, but he's confident that he'll do well and get green. I'm confident about it as well. I like the use of lights underwater. You forget for a second that it is underwater as the lights play around like that. Both Ritvik and his partner were so in sync to a nice background music. Someone please tell me what movie's music that is! I recognize it but can't place it! By the way, the bubbles coming out of both their mouths were in sync even. Sanjay was pleased with his performance. Even I was. A slow dance underwater is quite hard. Francois was also pleased. Yes! He got 2 greens and entered on claps! Forget the cold, he was so happy that he was just jumping with joy.
Alisha's performance - She was the first one to use a prop underwater. And she didn't just have it kept down there, she used it for her dance and made it look flawless. But I felt that at some point she lost the beat to the song, Muskaanein Jhooti Hai. The ending was interesting with her "killing" her partner. Akshay liked the setup, but he left it on the experts. She got a red from Sanjay and a green from Francois. Then it turns out to be trick. Which I liked because she deserved 2 greens.
Prince's performance - They're using lasers and they're wearing light suits. Cool! Robotics underwater may not have been such a good idea. There was none of the hard moves robotics requires. But I like that in between he would take out his mouth piece to mouth the words from Party With The Bhoothnath. But he got a green from Sanjay? 😲 I'm not sure if he actually deserved that. No offense meant but I just felt there was nothing robotic about it. He also got a green from Francois. That one he deserved because it was a nice dare. Akshay teasing him as he's trying to have a bath in hot water. That was hilarious! 🤣
Mayuresh's performance - Hangover. Haye mujhe bhi hangover hai. Lekin kisi aur ka. Woh iss show pe nahi hai lekin iske competitor channel pe aayega ek hafte aur main. 😳 Kher back to the performance. The performance was rather nice and he made good use of the words in the music. Akshay felt that the song was going at a faster pace than the dance, but I felt that he did well. And he got a red for dance. I felt if others got green he should have gotten a green as well, but whatever our judges feel best.
Akshay's hosting - Not only does he tease but he guides the contestants. Good hosting! I do feel though that sometimes Akshay knows the result before hand. Last week he commented about what happens when a person gets 2 reds just as Ritvik was going to perform and this week he commented that Alisha likes red and she got a red card, even if it was a trick.
