Hey guys. I am new here. Just wanted to share some views on "Roadies 6.0". Its going to be a hell of a long post. So, if you have patience, then do read this :-
Frankly speaking, I am very disappointed with the way Roadies 6.0 has shaped up till now. Right from the first episode till the 7th episode, nothing great has happened. Seriously, I despised the first episode and the first task. I mean WTF, Raghu comes out of nowhere and declares 10 roadies immune and the rest 10 to prove themselves. I know this was kind of planned and the 6 people who were voted out on first day will be coming back soon, But what about The Task? Was it right to perform such a task? Sufi almost broke his neck. What if something serious would have happened. It was no joke. Roadies should be careful in picking such tasks.
Now lets see what happened ever since the first episode. They get divided into two groups. Then the first money task - Picking up sh#t (WTF?). First immunity task - Girls answer questions and boys get hit on their balls. Great... 🤔. Then the second money task - Folkdancing. Booo.... Second Immunity task - Only 4 people perform this and only those who were considered as undeserved roadies by their team. Its like 10 people sit and just write names and 4 perform. Then the third money task - Holding up your sh#t... wow.. what a "mind-blowing" task. Then the third immunity task - Again 2 people perform this and the rest just write the names of the undeserved roadie. Now lets go to the fourth money Task - Play pool underwater. A good task compared to the tasks they gave. Then the fourth immunity task - The whole Coffin thing which was not at all planned properly and changes were made right there.
I thought the roadies picked this time were better than last year's.. But I am beginning to have doubt about it now. I mean check out the 14 roadies after the first 6 left :-
1.) Devarshi - Great. Just great. Even Raghu became emotional why he picked him in the first place. Gone now.. Thank you Rajiv and Raghu.
2.) Palak - almost 90% people who watched her on Roadies hated her. I am one of those people. Dont have to really talk about her. I almost hit my head to the ceiling when she was out...
3.) Bobby, Natasha, Roop and Tamanna - They should be put on some High School teen soap. Roop and Natasha should be the anchors of some news channel. All they do is talk talk talk.. Tamanna should contact Ekta asap. I think we have one hell of an actress.. Bobby.. I like her but the way she behaved at the ending of 7th Episode.. What is she thinking of Roadies? Where people make friends? Should not be betrayed and should be honest? Roop is gone.. thank god..
4.) Pradeep and Sandeep - They are just "acting". Seriously. Not natural at all.
5.) Poulammi - She did that balancing task well but is she deserveworthy? No prizes for the correct answer..
6.) Samrat- Since the auditions, I have been badly waiting for Samrat to do some tasks. He looks like a guy who can do tasks well but hasn't been in tasks because of the very badly planned tasks given out by the Roadies crew... Second best of the 14.
7.) Kiri - He's ok. Not great, not bad.
8.) Varisha - Well nothing much to talk about her. But she definately looked like someone who would just argue in her feminine voice and would not be great in tasks. Was taken just because of her looks. Out now
9.) Nauman - The best of the 14. Sadly, he's gone. I think it would have been very interesting if he was there. It is rumoured that he will come back. Hopefully he does.
10.) Suzanne - She is quite Hot IMO, but has some kind of "force field" around her. I think she is quite uncomfortable in front of camera and thats why is so quiet. Even she hasn't done anything till now to be termed "Deserving" Roadie (Not her fault seeing the tasks) but atleast she doesn't talk nonsense like the rest. Samrat was right about her. She is one of the most positive person on the show. But I dont know how good she could perform in future tasks. I think, she has the most chances of getting voted out next week....
From what I have been reading all over internet about Roadies, Sufi and Nauman has been the most liked people by audience. And majority wants Sufi to win. Sufi became my favorite right after the first episode. I am eagerly waiting for his return. He sure looks like a guy who will give his best shot in the tasks. We need such people in Roadies.
Till now, all Roadies 6.0 has done is just talk talk talk talk... Roop and Natasha talk as if they are previous Roadies winner. Why they do talk so passionately about who is deserving roadie and who in not when either of them havent performed any tasks properly .Bobby talks as if Roadies is a team game. Pradeep and Sandeep talk just because they want to be in front of camera. Devarshi... talks and talks and no one actually listens. Paulamni should not even be given camera time. Who would listen to her opinions?
I am glad Raghu has come back. I knew he would be coming back when he said he's leaving after the first episode. Infact, I thought it was all scripted. but it looks like Raghu was actually gone for few episodes. Thats why the rest of the crew didnt know what to do and kept such sh#tty tasks.
I hate the fact one episode is getting split into two episodes. Its not like too much is happening in one episode that they have to split it. Dont take the advantage of viewers and certainly dont test their patience. I am telling.. If roadies keeps splitting the episodes like this, then their TRP will go down the drain, even though they will be earning massive from ads.
The next week's episode looks interesting. Finally, they are ending the whole "BRATS vs OMBLUES". That was the worst thing ever happened in Roadies. I am glad its going to be over. And everyone will be on their own. Niiiceeeee...
What do you guys think about my views? Do you agree or disagree?

I agree quiet a lot with only difference I also like Kiri more than just OK. Also till now Poulumi apart from her odd voice accent and openion has been decent she had performed OK in the dance and in Matka she was awsome.

I think Raghu and Rajiv got damn pissed at Devarshi for doing exactly what they "weren't" expecting.
I am waiting badly for Sufi to come back and kick some a$$...

I've got to agree with most of wht u said....

Beginning from the first episode where Raghu came in and said 10 of them have proved themselves, but 10 are yet to....really? On wht basis? How had Paolomi 'proved 'herself? Tht was the first unfair step...

The first task where they had their hands and legs tied together....yes, I know tht they always have their doctor on standby, and tht they take all steps to ensure tht the roadies are safe...but wht if they had broken their necks? or backs?? It can even cost them a whole life time, perhaps!!!

The 'ball beating' task.....I've never seen more saddism. Tht is supposed to be a sensitive part, and they say, men shudn't wear tight jeans, because it can cause serious harm to their reproductive organ;so imagine wht being betaen on it a dozen times can do!!And it plays a huge part in excretion too!!!

The laxative task...sooo disgusting!!! Seriously, is tht the best the creatives can do?

And the rope walking task...yes, a group of ppl chose 4 who can perform, and if those 4 perform, they are all safe...how convenient!!!

At the same time, I liked the fact tht Om blues were not immune when Paulomi performed in the pot balancing task...they chose her as the least desreving roadie, and it wud have been seriously unfair if they ahd been safe due to their least desreving roadie.

Yesterday.....a real catastrophe! Clearly, very poorly planned!!! The twists were sooo hard to digest. I was happy tht Dev was kicked out(he was fun, u see....I laughed for hours every time he opned his mouth...lolsss!!)

Seriously disappointed with the creativity of roadies this time....a set of illogical tasks....as though they were assigning tasks tht popped up into their minds!!!Next week's seemes good, though....Archery and Kabbadi....something logical, finally!!!And Raghu's BAAACK!!! 😛

I hope ppl like Samrat get to perform. He's done well in all the taks they performed togethe, including the Pool mein pool and the laxatives task. It's definitely not his fault tht he did not get to do the rope walking, pot balancing, or coffin task. And tht's due to poor planning from the creative's part....shudn't they be plannign taks tht alloweds every one to perform, if they can?? And then Rannvijay asks 'Kya kiya hein Samrat ne aaj kal?!" He can do something only if he's given the chance to, right????I seriously want Samrat to win....he's sincere, humble, staright forward and hard working.

Roadies should be careful in picking such tasks. It's only a matter of time before something goes terribly wrong... the crew did a bad job setting up the rope task. Remember how bumpy almost got impaled when trying it out?

A good task compared to the tasks they gave. Then the fourth immunity task - The whole Coffin thing which was not at all planned properly and changes were made right there.

These tasks have 'bumpy' written all over them. I said elsewhere that what more can you expect from a guy whose life is about eating & shi**ing? I think Raghu & Rajiv are on TV because they think being a bully to teenagers and non-stop swearing on TV makes them famous. Unfortunately, it does! Rannvijay is there for the sweet talking.
I thought the roadies picked this time were better than last year's.. But I am beginning to have doubt about it now. I mean check out the 14 roadies after the first 6 left :-
1.) Devarshi - Great. Just great. Even Raghu became emotional why he picked him in the first place. Gone now.. Thank you Rajiv and Raghu. It tells u how good the selectors are!

2.) Palak - almost 90% people who watched her on Roadies hated her. I am one of those people. Dont have to really talk about her. I almost hit my head to the ceiling when she was out... She was just picked to create Ekta Kapoor type scenes.

3.) Bobby, Natasha, Roop and Tamanna - They should be put on some High School teen soap. Roop and Natasha should be the anchors of some news channel. All they do is talk talk talk.. Tamanna should contact Ekta asap. I think we have one hell of an actress.. Bobby.. I like her but the way she behaved at the ending of 7th Episode.. What is she thinking of Roadies? Where people make friends? Should not be betrayed and should be honest? Roop is gone.. thank god.. Roadies like Varun get into Splitsvilla, Shambhavi & Anmol also got G-talk... I'm sure these will be employed. Oh and there's Bani Jaaayyyyyyyy!

4.) Pradeep and Sandeep - They are just "acting". Seriously. Not natural at all.
5.) Poulammi - She did that balancing task well but is she deserveworthy? No prizes for the correct answer..

Sufi became my favorite right after the first episode. I am eagerly waiting for his return. He sure looks like a guy who will give his best shot in the tasks. We need such people in Roadies. Agreed. Kiri and Samrat could be good roadies, but how will we know if the tasks are all about Sh*t?
I am glad Raghu has come back. I knew he would be coming back when he said he's leaving after the first episode. Infact, I thought it was all scripted. but it looks like Raghu was actually gone for few episodes. Thats why the rest of the crew didnt know what to do and kept such sh#tty tasks.Or maybe, that's what Raghu wants us to think..... that without him, Roadies is not the same!



Hi, I just selected some parts of your posts and replied accordingly. Overall, I agree with what you said. Thanks for the long post. I enjoyed reading it! 👍🏼 My impression about the new roadies is, they don't have the personality to be on the show. But they are here because they were selected.... makes you wonder how the show was at the start and where it's going now?

@ Ditty :-
Totally agree with you. I mean, what were they thinking during the whole balls-hitting task? What were they trying to see? Whoever is alive after 12 shots is a true Roadie?
And what about the whole holding-your-crap task? If one is succesful in holding his/her crap, that means he/she is a true Roadie?
Ridiculous. Seriously. Very poor creativity. Just for the sake of earning money, they are doing such sort of nonsense. Raghu should be ashamed because the way he has hyped roadies 6.0 calling it "Hell down Under" and telling things like "Its not a childs play to be roadie" or "Not everyone is a Roadie". Seeing these tasks, any normal person on street can perform this. Picking crap, getitng hit on ur balls, holding crap... All sh#tty tasks.
And the worst thing is that most Roadies 6.0 contestants are big jokes. I was like "WTF?!?" at the end of 7th episode. I mean how ridiculous could Roop and Bobby be? What do they think Roadies is? Some team game where people should care/think about their team? Or they should vote according to plan? Roop and Bobby both didnt like Natasha and when she voted out Roop instead of Suzzi, they go all upset. Serves Roop and Bobby right. They are better off in some Teenage Soap.
Bobby is seriously one stupid person. I thought she is like all smart and all. When she saw that her team including ROOP, were calling her undeserving Roadie and also forcing her to "Get lost" by lying in the Coffin. Why should she even listen to them?
I am glad Roop is gone and next week the whole team thing will be over. Something new was required. Now the show will become more interesting. With 9 Roadies left and no teams, it will be a free-for-all game. And with some Roadies rumoured to return, the Game will become definately better. Hopefully, this time's Roadie will be better than last years. Last years was a hugely Disappointing and I think Raghu learnt some lessons after Last years show. So I hope to see more "Good" twists and better tasks in future epsiodes. If this time's Roadie too is like Last year's, then Roadies would have lost one fan in me..
@ Stingray :-
Glad you liked my post. Your opinions are good too. I seriously dont know what Raghu is trying to do with show. During the auditions, Raghu once told "I get this feeling that the participants have suddenly started treating me like a celebrity and are treating me with respect and are not exactly opening up". I think he likes being that celebrity. He is trying to be like "Stone Cold Steve Austin" of WWE. He makes "entrances" during the show. Hopefully, this fame doesn't go to his head so much that he completely ruins the whole show just to grab more eyeballs.

Lolz.... I'm totally over the show.... Roadies 4.0 was good, you still got to see real tasks.... things started going downhill from 5.0....... and 6.0 is what we all know. Amazing Race on AXN is better in my opinion, might seem boring to most people, but at least the participants are real and mature... and the tasks don't involve any sh*t.

I really want to see Raghu, Rajiv and Nikhil take part in tasks with the roadies. Rannvijay being the exception, I'm sure they would all suck. That part was hilarious when Rannvijay picked out the right jacket for Raghu, so that Roadies show him proper respect! 🤣 But that camera guy who got hurt in the accident is a true roadie! 😆

I know. 4.0 had great tasks and they had real contestants. Anthony was a true winner. He deserved it. I think the worst and the most boring contestants were in 5.0....
6.0 is also turning out to be like that.. But who knows, after few more come back, it might become great.
BDW, does anyone know how long this show might last. I see another 4-5 months. There are 9 contestants left and some more will definately come back. And looking at the recent "splitting an episode into two" case, I wont be surprised if I see Roadies end in July/August. I think it will get over by mid June..
