New Twist - I like this new twist. No elimination, just a ticket to finale. It's a rather interesting twist. And that person doesn't have to do any other stunts until the finale. I like. I like a lot. And I approve. But I would also call it a disadvantage because if there's a couple of weeks left that person could get rusty if they don't get to do stunts.

Height Ki Night - So the person that does the worst won't get a fear phanda, but they just won't be able to participate in any more stunts to get the ticket. I like that idea. It means only those who tried and deserve it will go on. Waise title sun ke mere ko ek 🤬 yaad aa rahi hai. 😆 Between Asha, Sana, and Rashmi, I have full expectations that Sana won't be able to finish the stunt and she'll be the first one out of the race. All 3 were good. But I felt that Asha and Rashmi were faster. And I was right! Sana took the longest time and now she can rest. 😆

Voiceover Fun - That was too much fun. Even Rohit loves pulling Hussain and Ashish's legs.

Dabba Gul - Now that's what I call competition. Put 2 people opposite each other to face off for the ticket to finale. That's more fun here than in the regular stunts! Another funny name. I liked the pairings, but I totally did not expect Sagarika to win. I always thought Ashish was stronger, but every contestant has their bad day and today was Ashish's. Hussain was so right. He didn't think he would continue on and he turned out to be right. And my god I didn't think that would happen either! Someone I know said that Ashish was being a gentleman and I pretty much pounced on him saying that Ashish and Sagarika were both strong and while it's true that I didn't expect Sagarika to win because of her injury, she won because of her strength and not because Ashish was being a gentleman. And the same goes with Nandish and Hussain. Yes I expected Hussain to win, but Nandish won because he was faster, not because Hussain wanted to join Ashish or anything! And I don't like if anyone says anything else.

Happy New Fear - Rohit should totally use this theft idea in his next movie. It would be fun to see. Until Chang started saying "Ah" I didn't realize paintballs could hurt so much as well. The ones we usually use don't hurt. Just make you feel wet. And Chang got the locker opened! Raka ab tumhe dalna hai daka. 😆 Rohit that was too funny. Rakesh wasn't able to open the locker. Uh. If Iqbal opens it then Rakesh is out else it's best time. I don't think it's right that something doesn't open. Iqbal had to bang the drawer in to get it to open. They should check if something isn't working. Oh so it's not based on if the locker gets opened or not. And Rakesh went so fast. Wow!

Masti - I must say the masti though scripted is quite fun to watch. Especially when Rohit enters it. 😆

Kheecha Pani - I don't get why they had to do this stunt in jodis. This isn't fair. At least in the ticket to finale weekend the stunts should be based on individual performance or on a face-off. A jodi has its disadvantages and advantages both and winning and losing is based on your partner's performance and not just your own. But finally! Rashmi is paired with someone else apart from Nandish! Finally! Der se hi sahi lekin kum se kum ab toh yeh log samjhe ke Rashmi ko baar baar Nandish ke saath pair nahi karna chahiye. Hanging upside down and doing so much is quite hard. The blood rushes to your brain. Both jodis did really well. I do feel Asha was slower in cutting, but Rakesh was great in pulling flags even though Chang got them all. That was something! 👏

Paav Bhaari - The name was hilarious. I loved what everyone had prepared for Sagarika, but I don't get why Iqbal didn't join in. Everyone did a little bit, except him. There's one thing I loved. Even though Sagarika and Nandish are competing, just before the stunt started Nandish gave Sagarika the thumbs-up. If there's one thing I really loved this season it's the friendship between the contestants. They're competing, but they're also friends and they don't let either get in the way of the other. This is one reality show so far untouched by the backstabbing and political/kitchen drama and I hope it stays that way. Back to the stunt itself, Sagarika was great. She's injured, but she doesn't let it get in the way of any of her stunts. OMG! I didn't expect Nandish to just abort like that even after getting the keys. I can understand, but I feel he should have at least given it a try. Loved how Ashish and Hussain sang for Chang. Put the pressure on guys. Put the pressure on. 😆

Sana Fun - Ashish and Hussain have to make Sana laugh. In the first 3 weeks I didn't like Sana at all, but nowadays I love this fun. She's a good competitor (only during elimination stunts usually though 😆) and is a good person as well. And of course Ashish and Hussain can make anyone laugh. And then Asha and Raka try.

Jungle Mein Dangal - If I remember correctly they had a similar stunt in Season 3 or was it Season 4. No I think it was Season 3. It was a jungle stunt. If anyone has watched previous seasons please do let me know which season because I remember that they had a similar stunt, I just can't remember the season. But I must say this is a great stunt to get the ticket. Not too easy and not too hard, but it's also based on endurance instead of just strength. I do feel that here Rashmi and Sagarika should have been taken outside while Chang was performing and similarly Sagarika should have stayed outside while Rashmi was performing to avoid giving them any advantage. Oh man! Chang got bitten by the hyena! Chang was great! He went through the whole stunt without pausing. Rashmi was panicked I feel. Sagarika I feel got stuck at some points in her bid to go fast. She wasn't panicked, just had pressure on her I felt. And Chang wins! Awesome! Congrats to him! 👏

Precap - Ashish and Hussain at their fun again. And then Sana and Rashmi. Ah this looks quite interesting. Can't wait for next weekend! Okay so all the love I had gained for Sana just went out the door. Rashmi wasn't shouting, Sana was. Looks like Ashish and Iqbal are doing some really daredevil water stunt next weekend. At least it looked like Iqbal, but it could also be Rakesh. And it's semi-finale week already? Wow! Time sure flies. Ooh 2 eliminations. I was going to ask how they could do semi-finale with 9 people, but my question has been answered. I think the whole thing between Rohit, Ashish, and Nandish was an act. There's no way Rohit could lose his anger like that. The only time he lost his anger was on Siddharth and even then he only spoke, didn't hit.

I'm a fan of your reviews and look for them every week, though I never comment on them 😆. Apologies but never too late to start so why not today 😉Mixed feelings on the whole ticket to finale concept. I haven't watched earlier seasons, this being my first, so not sure if this concept is something adopted from the beginning. I find it as a short cut so not a fan of it. I rather would have liked all the contestants to battle it out during their stunts and the best of the best reach the finale. However, this being a 'game show', I guess this can be seen as a 'perk'. Well done to Chang for the ticket as he demonstrated that in the tasks.
Height Ki Night - Was hoping to see a mix in the contestants rather than all girls competing. I was expecting Asha to perform better than Rashmi but the opposite happened. It was a decent stunt.
Dabba Gul - Stunt was good and both Sagarika and Ashish performed very well. It was close but also I feel in this stunt luck played a factor. The right key in the lock at the right try could make or break it. Clearly you could see Sagarika got to open the lock faster and was already in the water, while Ashish was still to unlock with the right key. However he tried to close the margin when they were underwater but it wasn't enough. The best performer won and this case it was Sagarika. The same happened with Nandish and Hussain. I think Nandish opened the lock with his 1st try and was quick to get in the water while Hussain was still trying to unlock. It was a good stunt and all did well. It's just a coincidence that Ashish and Hussain both had the same fate, which I found kinda cute given their bromance 😆
Happy New Fear - I found this stunt the most difficult out of the 3 stunts that day. Well performed by all and Raka was superfast. It was sad to see Iqbal all emotional. Before his stunt began, you could see he was not 'present', his mind was elsewhere. And then that emotional release at the end with Rohit hugging him. It was heartbreaking to watch.
Keecha Pani - I was truly disappointed with this act. Not because of the performers but the decision to have it be performed in pairs. This was a ticket to finale determination act and hence should have been performed individually somehow. Makes no sense to have pairs perform when competing for a direct entry to the finale. Chang was the surprise packet here so well done to him.
Pav Bhaari - Sagarika was amazing in this one. She truly does wonders in the water. She was superfast! Wish Nandish had continued the act too but you could clearly see he too was disappointed for not finishing what he started. Jangal Mein Dangal - This was the toughest stunt of Day 2; a challenging obstacle course. All 3 did well but I thought Sagarika would have emerged victorious but Chang was again the surprise packet. Wonderful job he did and the poor guy took a hit with the hyena. Ouch! Well deserved direct entry to the finale.
The bromance between Ashish and Hussain is refreshing and a delight to watch. Ashish's humor is infectious. Look forward to next week stunts, there are some cool ones in store.
My view on the precap: The precap was a pathethic attempt of the channel's version of entertainment. Clearly it's a publicity stunt, not sure why, perhaps for TRPs or to keep the show in the buzz and build hype as we approach finale week. I'm sure next week they'll show it end in laughs or perhaps a hug from the host to Ashish. Clearly it was done in poor taste and simply not required. Using physical force is unacceptable to and by anyone, and to be made a mockery of it is worse. Period! Lots of ways to inject humor and play pranks that do not have to resort in being physical.

Great review again Loved what you wrote about Ashish,Sagarika,Hussain,Nandish. It is a competition and every contestant plays to win.These contestants surely know to be friends outside stunt and also to give a healthy, true competition to each other in stunts. I surely wanted Ashish to win,but then Colors had already let the spoiler out that Chang will get ticket to finale.

Sagarika is a national level swimmer/athlete, but Ashish did gave her a good competition. he was not much behind her inside water. He lost time in finding keys and then all the opening box task; and that surely costed him. Nevertheless I am happy that Hussain & Ashish gave their best shots in their stunts.

As far precap, that seems more like an act; but for me pushing,using force was not a good way to show entertainment even in a scripted act. I didn't like it at all. Also, Rashmi-Sana scene in precap made me wonder if this too was for real, or a deliberate scripted act to tone down goodie-goodie, sweet season so far. Whatever it was, I was liking Sana in this show, as she was different from BB. This only made me revert back to my old self!

Loved the last stunt round between Chang, Sagarika & Rashmi. All three were awesome and gave their best shot to it. But the ease and effortlessness which was showing on-screen when Chang was performing had confirmed the Channel's spoiler about him getting the ticket.

P.S.: I have watched previous seasons, almost all except one or two. But I do not remember in which season this last stunt of "Ticket to Finale" was shown. But this did seem familiar to me as well when I saw this. My bad memory! 😭

Because they always give everything away.

Whatever it was, I was liking Sana in this show, as she was different from BB. This only made me revert back to my old self! - I agree totally with the first part. But then again if it's scripted from a movie maybe it makes sense. As for the second part I had a feeling that was coming soon. Sana may not be bossy, but she doesn't like getting help from others and the same with Rashmi. It was seen today as well in the final stunt when at the very beginning everyone quieted down when Rashmi yelled something. I think it was Sana who told Nandish not to say anything either. So I had no doubt that the 2 would end up losing their cool on someone some day.

P.S.: I have watched previous seasons, almost all except one or two. But I do not remember in which season this last stunt of "Ticket to Finale" was shown. But this did seem familiar to me as well when I saw this. My bad memory! 😭 - I've watched them all and I know for a fact it wasn't from last season or the first. But now I can't remember if it was from the season that Priyanka hosted or the other 2 seasons.

Actually this is a first. In previous seasons they've usually had a power jacket of sorts which when given to someone would save them from elimination at any time they wanted. They've also had it in the semi finale where the person who does best in the first stunt goes on to the finale directly, but never a Ticket to Finale. I liked the idea, but my only problem was how many more weeks are left. Now given that next week is semi-finale I guess Chang really only gets a break of a week. Though the finale usually only has 4 or 5 people so my guess is that next weekend they'll have a semi-finale and then they might have another round where the lowest performer will be out thus leaving only the 4 or 5 required people for the finale.

<font>Hey very nice review!!! I always look forward to your reviews. They are always apt and beautifully written. Keep up the good work buddy :)</font>

<font>I liked this new twist of ticket to finale too and chang winning the ticket was not at all surprising. He has performed exceptionally well on many ocassions and is indeed a strong player. To me anyone getting the ticket to finale apart from rashmi and sana is not surprising. To me rashmi somehow is not a tough competitor.</font>

I really like the in between masti and the leg pulling of contestants from rohit. It always makes me laugh. I generally watch kkk on laptop with my earphones on and whenever i start laughing my hubby is like what happened y r u laughing like mad :) :)

<font>Dabba Gul -I think Rohit also wanted Both of them (ashish n hussain) to win this task and thats why they were paired with other contestants and not together. Sagarika did really well n i dont think ashish was being gentleman and has any role in sagarika's win. And hussain i think went with the mind that if ashish cudnt perform i will also not be able to do it. But ya again Nandish did well and he won. Fair enough.</font>

<font>Happy New Fear -The stunt was just wow but seeing Iqbal crying like that, I felt so so so bad :( :( Glad that rohit gave hime a tight warm jadu ki jhappi :)</font>

<font>Kheecha Pani -Completely agree. I too didnt like the idea of performing in jodis for the ticket to finale stunts. Everyone should perform alone. And ya finally Rashmi and Nandish paired with other contestants. I think both rashmi and chang did thier jobs faster then asha and raka respectively so it was somehow only fair that they went ahead in the race.
</font>

<font>Paav Bhaari -I also noticed how Nandish did a thumbs up for sagarika before she started the task n i really liked that gesture. This year the contestants are too good except Siddharth n i m glad that he evicted in early episodes and was not kept longer to create unnecessary drama. Felt bad for Nandish but i didnt like the reaction from Rashmi. I didnt understand why she was so disappointed.
</font>

<font>Sana Fun -It was good fun in between the task. When raka tried to tickle sana and the way rohit was laughing it was a must watch scene :)</font>

<font>Jungle Mein Dangal -It was a nice stunt and i had a feeling that top 2 will be sagarika and chang. And bang on they both were faster than Rashmi and the final result was Chang won the ticket to finale. Well desrved, he performed all three tasks very well!!!
</font>

<font>Precap -</font><font>what with Sana n Rashmi?? I think i missed this part. Regarding rohit getting angry on contestants i feel may be this is a part of next weeks task that how contestants will perform when they are distracted. If rohit will behave like this before stunts obiviously they will not be also to concentrate 100% on the task. May be after the tasks he will reveal that this was a part of the tasks.</font>

One last thing, i think sagarika should have been given some other task then water based. As she is a national swimmer (sorry national level athlete :) ) she is bound to perform well in such tasks.

Nice review Shreya.
Happy New Year stunt was physically painful. Felt horrible watching these 3 getting hit like that. Raka was too good. He did it in less than 3 minutes.

I too did not like stunts being done in Jodis, that too at this crucial point when everyone wants the Ticket to the Finale.

This week I have been most impressed by Chang and Sagarika. Both very strong and determined individuals.
Sagarika performed so well even though she was injured. Being continuously thrown into the water with heavy loads must have been hard on her but she gives her 100% to the tasks.
Chang was brilliant in both of the Sunday Stunts. A well deserved win👏

Nice review as usual!
I agree on most your points. I'm glad that out of Rashmi, Sagrika and Chang,Chang won, all 3 tasks he did so well and 2 out of the 3 he was the first to go.
I feel like they should give Sagrika other stunts than just water, most if not all her stunts have been water based, and we can see water is her strength which was evident from her first stunt this season. I feel like it's not much of a challenge for her.
I think the chor task Iqbal, Rakesh and Chang did has by far been one of the most difficult ones and Chang's scars were proof of that.

I think when Nandish lost the key he panicked and that's where he Lost it, bechare helper ko bhi Nandish duba raha tha when the guy was trying to help him!
After seeing his previous water stunt I thought he could have completed it in good time. Didn't like Rashmi's attitude towards hi giving up though.

The Daba Gul stunt was based purely on getting the key in the lock the quickest.

Next week the stunts look like they have been taken one step higher in terms of difficulty and challenging. I just hope Sagrika doesn't get a water one.
