Today couple of things I was looking forward to were how does Sania and Shoaib fit into this. Is this going ot be a Sania Shoaib special or will Nach with your Baliye and Scores be the focus. Do we get to see Avi's of different people we missed out last time or are we left to a biased atitude from teh show's CV;s that they are going to focus only on who they feel needs to be. So with that being said lets get to tonight's episode.

The introduction was very cheesy for me. The way chotte and bade danced for Shilpa and the her explaination of ek aur ek gyraah .Surely made no sense to me how 11 makes it 1 and more majbhoot. Its split into 2 numbers so for me she has already got the concept wrong. She never ceases to amaze me with how she looks at things so weirdly. Atleast Terrence cleared it out and explained what that meant. And then I expected a dance from Sania and Shoaib from all the promos to see that they did not even do a minute of dance. What a let down they came to a dance show and did not even show us a dance. And to top it all the welcome by bhabo. I don't know I just felt it was just too hard for me to digest . There were lot of better ways to start . Anyways compared ot the beginning I am hoping seeing the promos that it might be a better ending tomorrow and that Sania Shoaib do dance.

Ravi /Sargun- I liked the fact that they took their real life concept and put it with a twist. From last week Sargunn was not up to par and when u do Bollywood people always expect more. So that is why I felt that Sargun was criticized correctly and cannot believe it came from Shilpa of all the judges. Why did Ravi have to do the drama of my gf works hard. We all know that there are people like Bhabo and Karan who too work in hit daily soaps so this was not something I want to hear from them. If you take up a show you know what you are getting too and so do what you can do best and show it in your moves. The marks were what I would have given and was totally based on concept more than execution.

Jay/Mahi – Paso Doble One of the dance forms we now see in all the dance shows and one of my favorite forms. Here the bull got the better of the matador and mahii did do justice in terms of expressions. The song choice was great and this is what I expected from this pair .Over all a very well performed act with a good degree of difficulty. Great Deserving Scores!

Karan/Nisha – Their performance is what I expect more from them. They truly embody the objective of the show of nach with baliye. They truly danced with so much love and sweetness. Contemporary is not easy hence it was kept to the basic but next time they need to increase the difficulty Now that they got the spirit down they need to now build on their dancing and they sure will have a chance at winning. The scores to me however was all wrong. 7 was too low and 9 was too high..I think they should have got 24 8 across the board.

Rahul/Dimpy – I agree that the cheoreographer has done a awesome job of having dimpy doing majority of the dancing so Rahul's 2 left feet was not noticed. However this is nach baliye and the baliye has to dance. Sajid is in love with Rahul that I feel he is biased in his scoring. Over here when Karan and Nisha got 7 for less dancing the most he should have given Rahul too was 7 instead entertainment and 9. Also why give him the extra publicity of Step of the WEAK.

Kushal/Elena- Ok I watched this twice to see why they got such low scores as to what I missed. Kushal was not as bad as they all made it sound. Ya he could have been better but 6 comeon judges that was way too low when you can give Rahul a 8 the least Kushal deserved was a 7. This was through and through a props act so that cannot be totally blamed on Kushal.

Amar/Charlie – Oh man its really hard to see Charlie crying as the poor thing was totally not to be blamed. I am hoping that now she has poured her inhibitions on stage we get to see a carefree Charlie next time. And also since Amar has realized that a lot of the fault is him expecting more from her he will reduce the complexity for her and that they give a sweet and flawless performance. Over here although the way Sajid put it was not right but he did have a good message. Instead of winning and making everyone happy Charlie should make it about herself and making sure she forgets about the others and work on herself. She has the potential and its only on her and no one else to bring that out .That is the only way that they are going to be able to get away from the fact that Amar is a fabulous dancer and move on to Amar and Charlie the nach baliyes.

All in All it was not way too much on Sania and Shoaib so that I was happy with that. I could have taken some dance from them and keeping my hopes that the promos are not deceiving for tomorrow and they actually shake their leg. The highlight of the today was how Charlie came out with her inhibitions . I know the judges were pretty harsh but I have a feeling that now she will be actually perform better . Amar has the votes so she has time to work on her inhibitions. That is the only way she is going to be able to come out from Amar;s shadows.Having a lot of hope on her next week with a flawless performance and good scores. The least interesting part for me is the marks awarded to Rahul . This is not Comedy Circus. All he did was circus and just because Dimpy did all the dancing does not make his scores right. He should have gotten 7 instead 9. What a joke the judges are making of the dancers in the running.

Lastly I was not happy with their AV;s. I was hoping that we would get to see the rest. Instead we got to see only for Amar and Jai. Why this inconsistency ? The show is hoping by showing the sadness they get people hooked. Why else show that Jai having an accident or that the concept for Amar and Charlies was a sad theme.

K,

So my biggest hate towards NB5 is their favoritism towards Rahul-Dimpy and the judging style of Sajid.

For once, Sajid fully admitted that he's here for the entertainment. I mean, if he's here for the entertainment, he should very well know that this is a dance based reality show and hence why, if he wants entertainment, he could go judge Comedy Circus.

I know for a fact that he gave Rahul and Dimpy marks because of their comic timing and honestly I didn't even find their performance all that great. Dimpy is a saving grace for their performance but she never gets her credit. Sajid does NOT know how to judge.

Second, Shilpa. I have a feeling that she is a decent judge [for her comments to Charlie and Amar] but at the same time she's a fairytale judge who is in love with the word 'love' and PDA. All I could do was watch her expressions during Nisha-Karan's dance and I could feel that she was taken by them and their 'recently married and in love' phase. But at the same time, she knows how to give marks.

Terence, hands down the best judge this season. He knows where to compliment and he knows how to add in the criticism at exactly the right time and yet be nice about it. I like him the most of the 3.

Contestants:

Ravi/Sargun: Yes. I liked their performance but they need to work hard. That's all I am going to say. They are good dancers and do put in effort but at the same time I'd like to see more. Even last week, I could feel em with the whole 'robotic' feeling to their dance and today too. So a lil more variety is all I ask.

Jai/Mahi: I'd like to say the best. Mahi conquering her fear and they had everything. From the amazing performance last week to this one. I know for once they have explored different varieties of dance and I hope they continue to do well. I liked their scores!

Karan/Nisha: They were insync and they knew what they were doing. I told PD last time that personality matters a lot to me and this week I put it all aside to know that YES, they are good. I liked their slow, soft-toned couple dance. Me likey em. But yes, I also felt that a 9 was too high and a 7 was too low. They were good, but not over the top amazing!

Rahul/Dimpy: Okay. This is one couple, where all the due credit goes to the choreographers and Dimpy. Rahul...ugh. K, firstly, I feel that Rahul isn't trying. And no one's noticing that. The judges are like 'try harder' and all I see is nothing. This performance is like the one we had last week and if I can guess anything, Rahul and Dimpy will continue these performances till however long they stay on this show. Everyone laughs, ha ha ha. Funny but where's the dance? That's my biggest problem with Rahul/Dimpy's jodi. I like Dimpy but their marks are unfair and solely based on the entertainment factor of this jodi. And also, out of all the jodis, the majority of the time is spent on Rahul/Dimpy's antics. I'd give this act a 6/7 combined.

Kushal/Elena: This is one act for which I do understand where the judges were coming from but at the same time, I keep looking back at Rahul-Dimpy's act or well Dimpy's dancing. They say that Kushal seemed disinterested but then I ask, he was at least trying to something. And they were both dancing. Elena seemed to be enjoying herself. Kushal seemed tired and bored, yes he did but at least they were dancing and this was one hard act to pull off cuz of all the props. So I am upset with how the judges decided to mark this act. Yes this act was a 7/8 but a 6 throughout? That's...shameful.

Amar/Charlie: I feel bad for Charlie. I know she's scared. And come on, she's dancing with Amar and everyone knows that Amar's a good dancer, forget that, an amazing dancer. So he DOES set the standard very high and like Shilpa mentioned, Charlie's really good, but she needs to be more carefree and stop trying to match up to Amar. She should be her own person and have her own dancing style. She should just wing it, and not compare her dance to Amar's. And I think that's the only way they'll get past the numerous 'be like Amar' episodes. So yes, I think their marks were good where they got em. Deffo 7/8 around the tables will be good.

And now Sania-Shoaib, k...well I liked that they same as Guest of Honour and I liked how everything was not focused on them too. They were decent to watch.

But overall, more than this, I am just terribly mad at Sajid's judging.

Yet to watch ..willpost my vipesh tippani later ..But I do have some thing to say abut the judges .I get a feel they have chosen them like the judges on America's got talent . Scripted touch

Terence is the harsh critic like Piers Morgan ; and at the other extreme the liberal comedian Howie Mandel ( apna Sajid ) who awards marks to everybody how much ever bad they are 😆 and Shilpa channeling Sharon..The human drama & sentimental ooh aah touch

Sajid gives Rahul 9 and Kushal 6 😲
this is a dancing show so he should rate based on dance and not on pure entertainment

Shifali I just did not want to comment on the judges as already it became an essay so glad you raised it. Will try to keep it short

Sajid -he said the same last week during Rahul's performance.J He has come with the approach that if you are a non dancer but can do comedy i will give you full marks. What i find hard like i said last week he is a dancer and these comments coming from a dancer in a dance show that is the BIG NO. He knows very well to judge as i have seen him on Boogie Woogie. I just think he feels now that he has grown too popular to have to go his one line witty statements that he will give harsh reality checks. That is all fine if you do it fine across the board not just with Rahul. What was wrong with Karan;s performance. It has romance written all over the place and if he is looking for anything but dance theirs was oozing with love so why not mark that good too. After all Love is the biggest entertainment aspect and the no 1 selling formula.

Shilpa - Another dance who focuses again on other stuff but dance. But atleast she did mention some good stuff like Kushal being disconnect and that Mahi;s expressions being spot on. So although she is a girlies' girl looking for love and happiness this has been what she has always done. She finds all these weird things to comment and that takes her attention off the main show.

Terrence I have watched him for long and so far he has been on track. He has only been pointing out the positives as in DID always he would start with the postive but was famous for his BUT as he had the negatives alongside. Over here given the beginning episode he is not at this terrrence best as we have not seen him give the constructive criticism. Waiting to see how that will go down with Sajid

Waiting for your visheesh tipni Deeps.

I don;t however feel like its like AGT, Piers has always gone with his gut feeling and his comments reflect that. He does feel the need to sugar coat and thats why he has sometimes brought the worst out of the contestants andco judges. I am a big Piers fan as 9 out of 10 his and my views have been the same. He just bluntly says it as it is . If you want to survive especially in the entertainment business where critics hound you for what you wear and what you eat he gives you a good scoop of that reality. I do agree that

Terrence is no way harsh to begin with. He just makes a point to give constructive criticism. Showing them the way to improvement with his infamous BUT. While in AGT no one gives them that kind of critique. HE has been liberal at his marking and always made a point in DID to support the other teams and make criticisms on his own team. He just has not gotten there over here and I guess he is still trying to understand why the others are not commenting on dancing. In DID all the three did was comment on dancing and not be sidetracked with everything else.

Sajid has the same trait like Howie to be a commedian on the show but I am yet to see the Sajid who used to crack me up. The more i see him the more I think what nonsense is he going to say and how rude he is going to be . Howie you pointed right gives marks to all and is more in tune with Shilpa than Sajid. Howie was always generous with his comments unlike Sajid is only generous with Rahul.

The judges are just so biased especially Sajid Khan he's like got the hots for Rahul or something. I believe that even tho khushal did make some mistakes they weren't that bad that they shud be given a 6. I guess the favouritism and the entertainment factor has come in the way for Sajid and hence he is only wanting to see entertainment.

This show is a dance based show and not an entertainment show I'm sure that he must have been told that when he got approached for the show. Tonight the person which I really enjoyed would have to be Jay and Mahi gosh they were great and so was Ravi and Sargun.

I expected Shoaib and Sania to make their entry with a dance especially with all those promos we have seen especially in every break of the last episode. They were okay buh was it necessary to ask for Sanias views? They shud make her the 4th judge then.

Thank God we didnt see as much Rahul as we did next week buh then I don't wanna jinx that Eva. Less laughing from
Shilpa too she was more serious today.

Sajid plz plz just judge the dance that's what ur here for.

Aur kuch nahi and I hope the next episode is good.

Fingers cross

I have not seen the thing entirely but definitely i do have a thing or two to say about the judges cause i dont find them fitting enough for the job and specially the kind of remarks they pass , I mean both Shilpa and Sajid dont even know the Z of dancing themselves so really what are they judging the contestants on ..🤔...no surprise there really then that one has absolutely no clue abt the marks they r giving while the other is looking for comic talent in a dance based show😕

And what is NB really about ...judging the popularity of the jodi or discovery of a dancer in a non dancer or how u showcase the skills u already have or ...cause the judging really doesnt make it clear say in Amar's case ...if they are really focusing on the jodi making progress tog then they shud really see the effort side of it more and look at the performance objectively giving all issues equal weightage..tooo much to ask for i guess from a reality show i guess where the popular ones (in recent times) get marked poorly initially to show the fairness of it all while the real idea somewhere is to get the fans into action so that the voting and related hungama begins and gets them the share of attention they are looking for 🤔


Oh and am i glad or what that you are back to writing yr views cause i love the way you write 😊

Firstly I'l comment on the performances:-
Ravi-Sargun-Firstly I thought they were going to Ra.One because of the way ravi was dressed! They were ok I think Ravi was better and Sargun seemed a bit nervous at points.Agreed with the judges scores.

Jay-Maahi-I love these two one of my fav jodi in the show,I did feel that the harness restricted their dance but imo they did a really good paso doble and Maahi's expressions were bang on also I like thier ending. again agreed with the scores.

Karan-Nisha-Again my other fav jodi of the show (you can tell from my siggys/avi that I am a Karan fan!😆) they danced together as 1, the choreography was simple but better than last week,they were in synch too and they had rhythm and I think they will get better each and every week! I couldnt beileve that Sajid scored them a 7 while Terrance and Shilpa scored them a 9. They both look so good together..Nisha is very pretty and I am fida on Karan's smile.

Rahul-Dimpy- Dimpy did most of the dancing,Rahul did a few movements here and there and supported Dimpy. Sajid giving them a 9 was the worst moment in the episode.
Rahul will stay only cos of his comedy no doubt he was funny I laughed so much but scores should reflect his dance not comedy or entertainment.

Kushal-Eleana- Eleana is so pretty,Kushal seemed stiff and no into it as Shilpa said. I loved the last dress change it was nicely done they should have got 7 as Terrance and Shilpa gave but 6 was low.


Amar-Charlie-Firstly I loved Charlie's dress.Amar was good and I liked the lifts they did. I agreed with Shilpa Charlie should dance for herslef and not try to match up to Amar. They need to find a balance between them in terms of dance. I aww'ed at Amar when he consled her and said I love you,Please don't cry I am with you.The words every girl wants to hear from the one she loves😳


Coming to the Judges.
Without a doubt Terrance is the best judge on the panel,what to say,when to say and how to say he knows it all. I like the way he explains the dance etc. welldone Terrance👏

Shilpa is ok she does go off on a tagent at times but what she does say is relevent like abiut maahi's expressions and Kushal not being into it etc.
I agree about Sajid his scoring was so bad i mean a 9 to rahul mahajan and 7 to karan and 6 to kushal like what was he watching? we were all like this😲 in my house.

Shohib/Sania were quite good espically Shohib...his onliners were really good and made me 😆

Karan Wahi was very cheeky with his comment after jay and Shohib played cricket I was 😆 at it.
Karan Wahi had alot of screenspace today in terms of hosting he is really good made me laugh and I hope Gautam also gets his fair share of screen space.
Precap seemed good the kanta laga girl's boyfriend/hubby ko kapde kyun nahi dete even last week i think he only was wearing a wasit-coat on top!😆 Niluji and arvidji's performance reminds of hussian-tina's from season 2 alothough its a bit differnent.
