My Review: Eighth Episode

Holiday entry - Yahoo!!! Today he entered on his Segway from Holiday! I absolutely love that thing. I want to ride it once! I would love to own one.

Repeating the prize - Okay we get it. Why do you have to keep repeating it every episode?

Prince's performance - He gets this whole set of stairs. I like how they showed more of the practice less than the discussion. I loved the smooth transitions he had at each step. That's how it should be if you practice a lot. And you could see that he had practiced a lot because at no point did he lose his beat or look where he was going. He was looking at the audience the whole time. And then that fall at the end was just too scary, but well done! Akshay said that he caught each beat well and yes it was. He gets 2 greens bringing his total to 7 greens and 1 red!

Alisha's performance - She got stilts, which is quite hard to do. Even when the jokers do it in circuses you can see how hard it is to do. And on top of that she has a very long and heavy dress. But she still did a lovely job I feel especially the way she used the ropes to pick her up and she got 2 greens to bring her total to 8 greens!

Sanam's performance - He gets a trampoline! Man that will be fun to see! It's not easy to dance on that. I've never seen it any dance shows, so that's one thing new. I like how Sanam managed to control himself on the trampoline. That's quite hard. He included an Akshay dialogue, which even Akshay enjoyed. And his landing was great! He gets 2 greens bringing his total to 8 greens!

Mayuresh's performance - Akshay has some fun with his face work. The rehearsal was shown to be quite hard especially given that he's in pain. I loved that first climb he made on the pole and then the spins around. He makes it look so easy. And then the way he uses the ring was great as well. He deserves 2 greens and he gets them both bringing his total to 6 greens and 2 reds!

Scarlett's performance - She dedicates her emotional performance to her mother. Call me a cynic but I'm starting to get annoyed with Scarlett because she always brings this emotional touch to everything! Her rehearsals were looking quite dangerous. Let's see how she does. Her performance was really good I felt. It was very emotional and her face was always having an emotional expression. She got 2 greens bringing her total to 8 greens!

Final tally - As expected Sayantani and Karan are the ones in danger. They will face off next week and the weakest will go.

New entry, Mayuri - Ah so there is a new contestant joining now and she is daring Karan and Sayantani. If Mayuri does better than both then they both go home and if they both do better then Mayuri goes home. If Mayuri comes in second then the person in third goes home.

No more cards - Ah so they begin again from the start now. Nice! Well that was bound to happen with a new entry and one person leaving.

The elusive gold card - Akshay says that he will give one person the card as a prize. The person who gets it will get 2 green cards automatically without performing. I kind of guessed that it would be something like that. And it goes to Sanam! Wow that was truly deserving! It also kind of gives you a preview of what the finale might be. Sanam might just win. If he deserves a gold card then he truly deserves the winning trophy as well.

Xtreme Dance Hero - Akshay adds that each person who has won will get a surprise as well. But we won't find out yet. This week's hero isn't named.

Next week's challenge - It's fire. Oh god I'm going to be covering my face all next weekend.

Here goes my take.
Prince: His prop by far was the easiest because there was stability and space. But Prince used it left, right and centre. I also love the fact that Prince is well aware of his limitations in doing stunts so he makes it up with his dance and boy does he dance. Somehow his performance and choreography had Paul Marshall written all over it (though he's not a choreographer on the show).
Alisha: Her prop was difficult and I like the fact that she didn't just do freestyle rather took a form, a difficult one even when performing normally. Her arms and upper body were strong. Considering it was a very difficult act, she deserved her greens. She's the best female dancer for me on this show.
Sanam: I've seen a trampoline act in DID1 before and that was partly on it. Sanam handled it well though I did notice a teensy weensy bit of balance problem and when he jumped up to catch the ladder he was gritting his teeth. I know I'm being too picky here. Best performance of today, yes but not the best of the week in my opinion.
Mayuresh: I finally saw the Mayuresh that I've seen before. He was in his element, doing what he does best even with the pain and it looked real and genuine in the rehearsal. This was his best so far on the show. The swinging motion from one bar to the other was so smooth. Loved it.
Scarlett: Even I'm kinda sick of the emotional card she's playing. I'm not saying it's put on but everyone has their issues, just don't mention it every time. The good thing though is that she performs well, not flawless. I kind of don't get how she's got away with not a single red card so far.
I've to say that this show has definitely got original methods of elimination and taking contestants a head. Not seem something like that on any other dance reality.
Has someone else also noticed that they've so far from the beginning only shown precaps, all of which have been done so far besides fire and dancing on ice. Does that mean the show will end in three weeks?

@ Bold: Exactly! The first time I didn't mind though I was partly angry with it. Then she repeats it and repeats it and repeats it! By the fourth time no matter how genuine it is, it just doesn't look genuine!

i didnt liked Sanam's act

i always find a level of dare less in his acts
and him getting gold card was actually unfair 🤢🤢

just because i dont find dare
abotut prince ka act sorry but accept the last part there was a 0 dare 🤢🤢
but it wasnt his mistake it was his prop

and if Sanam winning than i am least concerned 🥱🥱

Loved all the performances in Sundays episode.
I agree there is no need to repeat the grand prize in every episode and also the blast on the ship shown at the end looked so fake.😆

Prince: Loved his performance. He used every part of his prop and picked up every single beat. The ending was perfect.

Alisha: Her prop was difficult and yet she performed so well with confidence.

Sanam: His performance was so entertaining. You actually felt like jumping on the trampoline while watching his act. Its a difficult prop where balance is a big issue but he made it look so simple.

Mayuresh: Wonderful performance👏 Smooth transitions and well executed. You need a lot of arm strength for this act and he did brilliantly.

Scarlett: Her performance was good too. She used her prop well and her expressions were perfect.

I expected Emilie, Prince, Sanam or Mayuresh to be the Extreme Dance Hero this week.

Was happy with Sanam winning the Gold card. It was between him and Emilie for me. Both have been outstanding since the beginning.

Next weeks fire act looks too scary. Honestly its getting scarier every week. In the precap they showed Mayuri being taken to the hospital. I hope she is fine.

i didnt watch the episode as i was watching some of my other favourite shows
so i wont review much
but i will talk about the gold card thing
i think rather than sanam Emilie deserved that gold card
because if i consider his performances his water act was not as impressive as emilie or alisha or Kunwar's act was
so my opinion is Emilie should get it.

and coming to the count making it to 0. I really didnt like it ok if sanam was awarded gold card let it be beneficial for him but other contestants like Alisha, Emilie, Scarlett also got 2 green cards.unko bhi kuch faayda hona chahiye.making totally to 0 is quite unfair.

well looking at the show as per the rumours i guess Sanam is the winner.
show dekhke toh waisa hi lag raha hain.
slowly im feeling it is kind of scripted.
but if its the same thing happening then im gonna watch only for Kunwar just to enjoy his presence and his performance.
thats for sure.
by the way trampoline has been tried in other dance show but its a fiction show that too by Kunwar Amar himself.😊
