Reality shows this season

Roadies 6

It's all beginning to look a little jaded for this show. They've tried to spruce it up a bit this year with more imaginative tasks & tougher vote-outs, but people have got so used to the format, that all they wanna do is save their spots for the next episode. All the spontaneity that could be seen earlier with people like Shambhavi & Bani seems to have gone out the window. Bobby though ....


.... is one of the cutest girls ever to have featured on Roadies.

Indian Idol 4

Saurabhi ....


.... should be the 1st ever female Indian Idol. She's the best among the last 3. I completely didn't follow Idol this time. Probably cause Arnab's away in the US. The same goes for ....

Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2009

The episodes (or at least the few that I caught) competed among themselves to see which could be more sillier than the last one. This show was at it's peak last year with contestants like Amaanat Ali & Raja Hassan. Sadly, this year the decline in standards is more than apparent. I don't even know who won the recently held final.

Dance India Dance

Zee's attempt to muscle in on the dance reality show genre. And I must say that the results are impressive. The contestants are able, the judges (Terence Lewis, Geeta Kapur & Remo Dsouza) know their choreography, the standard of performances has been high & Mithun da (as 'GrandMaster') has been more than a ceremonial showpiece. I'm looking forward to this one.

EDIT: my prediction was spot on .... Saurabhi did win Indian Idol 4. On an aside, it seems Idol has turned into a means for the people from the North-East to stamp their presence on the mainstream Indian psyche. Get someone from that region into the finals & people vote for him/her with their feet. This doesn't imply that Saurabhi didn't deserve it .... it just shows how much this region yearns for acceptance & awareness from people of other parts of this country .... I think.
