Its the era of reality shows ranging from the CBB to the desi Bigg Boss, none of which have had my interest despite their raging controversies, cat fights or racial digs. But in all this milieu I confess to one show having caught my attention - MTV Roadies. MTV Roadies 'inspired' from MTV Road Rules (US) is about a gang of girls and guys who bike their way through India while attempting at sometimes crazy - sometimes funny tasks and proving their upmanship over the rest. It also involves elimination of the roadies (as the participants are called) by each one casting votes. So that was in a nutshell Roadies for Dummies.
Coming to the point I am longing to make - The final round for MTV Roadies 4 was done in very bad taste. The viciousness of the ex-roadies (who were evicted earlier) and the way they were baying for the blood of the last two contestants - Anothony & Bani, was disgusting to say the least. I was appalled that these youngsters coming from decent backgrounds with sufficient amount of education (i suppose) to know about manners et all and proclaiming to have qualities such as loyalty, friendship blah blah were actually acting otherwise. Bani's composure despite the hurt showing in her face belies her age and is worth commending. Bravo Bani! Way to go girl.
The rest who were quick enough to pass judgement can sure learn a thing or true which might actually stand them for good in their future lives.
