Preface

Apologies for missing out the previous episode, I was watching the show when suddenly I became deaf, I tried changing my hearing aid battery and in this process I missed out most parts of the episode, later I found out that it was a technical problem from the channel itself :|

But nothing could stop me from writing this synopsis, not even my tremblinng handdsss…

Introduction

Vikas was back inspite of being voted out and 2 seconds post coming back he sits down on his knees and says ”Ye show mera sab kuch hai” :|
So we are not done with his antiques yet :p

Last week’s fire and water task concluded in Meghna being voted out from the race, Vikas managed to complete both the tasks and earn immunity as a token of his unique display of stupidity!

Today’s episode’s teaser makes me think to what extent is a human willing to bear pain in order to survive this race? The teaser is shocking and the game has just turned tougher than ever before!

It was yet another lazy Sunday; I woke up at 1pm still feeling sleepy while my doggy greeted me good morning with his thick tongue running all over my face and by the time I had stoop up, he was done licking my arms to perfection.

My day had started and my tea was cold.
So I woke up from the bed, brushed my teeth, had my breakfast and medicine, and sat down on my porch with the newspaper only to learn that it was Sunday – the day when Darwin unleashes his Dar-view-nism in the community!
*Background sound effects – Tan tan ta daaaaaannnnnnnnnn!*

But there sat my doggy with his shining eyes, reminding me to clean his poo and give him lunch before I start with my Sunday stupidity yet again :|
By evening I was done with all the household chores and relaxed on my Rocking chair to watch Roadies!

Chapter I – ‘Row’dies!

*Sunrise*
Knock Knock!
*An un-brushed Ravneet opens the door to receive a Yahoo Scroll*
It said they have to get ready and reach to the next destination – Calicut.
While on the journey, I brushed my studies on Laws of Attraction as fellow Roadies claimed that Mohit and Charlie are in ahun ahun! And Anwar and Mannat are in ahem! Uham!!

Journey continues and they reach Calicut where Roadies receive another scroll asking them to get ready for their next task and meet Rannvijay on the shore of some nearby stream.

Once on the shore, Rannvijay tells them that they would be competing for money.
Both the Green Mambas and Red Indians would be provided with some tires and bamboos with the help of which they have to make a raft and use it to reach to the other side of the shore where a pot in hung onto a tree.
Once they’ve reached, Roadies have to break open the pot by climbing on to the tree using the same raft that they had built. They cannot touch the tree while climbing and the team to complete the task first will win Rs. 50,000.

Vikas was happy as this time the bamboo was not being used on him
So the task began and Red Indians took the lead, they had crossed half way already while Green Mambas were trying their best to keep their raft afloat.

Finally they let realized that not being straight is now legal (no pun intended).
So they flipped their raft upside down and slowly started drifting towards the deeper water. By this time Red Indians were tired and wanted some rest but then something happened to them as I could hear Vikas narrate: “Suddenly hamara addrenalund standard bauhat upar chale gaya”s  and they rowed towards the shore with full force.

Finally, the Red Indians had reached the shore and Vikas climbed the raft to break his hand…. Err… pot to win the task.
Red Indians had won the task and earned Rs. 50,000 while Green Mambas were playing splash mid way on the stream.

Chapter II – Survival of the Fittest

Next day, Roadies receive a scroll asking them to come to the hotel near some kalabu theatre.

As they reach there, Roadies encounter a white bunny who wore a black face mask and a white hat. He says that he’s a fitness trainer named ‘Ravindranath’ and has come here to teach them P.T
In my 80 years of experience I have never come across another bunny who could teach P.T.  So I decided to study this subject.
I went close to the TV set and observed that this bunny was partially human!
WTF!! He had limbs and legs!! Never knew that one day we would be able to cross breed Human and Rabbits! I need to iterate my research and theories I guess :|

But later, as of now, I was busy watching bunny teaching P.T to the Roadies when they receive another scroll asking them to meet Rannvijay at the Hotel’s open ground.
By now my doggy had joined me as he had never seen such a rabbit before.

Chapter III – The real Physical Test!

Enter Roadies!
*Chairs, wires, bulbs, boxes, buttons are kept on the task location*
This is the first time I saw pain and fear in the eyes of the Roadies on meeting Rannvijay.
He explains them the task, which they have perform to win immunity.

3 boys from each tribe will sit on the chair and both their ears and nipples will be clipped to a wire reaching the box which contains the lever for activating the current.
The other 2 members will have to do steps that had been taught to them in the P.T class.
Rannvijay would be calling out random numbers Roadies will have to do the steps corresponding to the respective number.

There will be 3 rounds, in the 1st round; he would call out numbers from 1 to 4 and an incorrect step from a team member will result in one of their partners on chair receiving the shock for 1 second.
The 2nd round would have numbers from 4 to 8 and they would be shocked for 2 seconds for an incorrect step while the 3rd round would involve steps 1 to 8 and their partners would be shocked for 3 seconds for every incorrect step.

As a member make a mistake, one of the opponent team’s member has to come forward to give the shock. IF they fail to shock their opponent clearly then all the 3 members of their team would be shocked.

The team to receive maximum shocks in these 3 rounds loses while all members of the winning become immune.
Also, if anyone backs out from the task then that particular member would lose his/her immunity automatically.

From the Red team, Amritpal, Mohit and Zaid were tied to the chair while Vikas and Priyanka did the P.T and from the Green team Eric, Ameya and Anwar were tied while Ravneet and Charlie did those P.T steps.

So the task starts and Priyanka goofs up instantly. Amritpal inaugurates the shock receiving sessions followed by Zaid and Ameya.
I could hear a “Woof!” as Ameya received his first shock, that startled my doggy who haphazardly started searching the house thinking he finally has found a mate. I was saddened to inform him that his mate was a mammoth on TV

The second time Ameya woofed, my doggy ran away towards the door and peed around the corner marking his territory :|
Not bothering much about him I noticed a childish grin on Vikas’s face as he pulled the lever like a 5 year old who plays with his wooden horse.

By 2nd round almost everyone had received a shock and different kinds of expressions and noises were coming out from them.
I remember Eric saying “mnzzgaaaooooo!! Hooo hooo hooo hoo hooo”. No he wasn’t singing or happy that he’s in Roadies, that was his reaction to the shock which made my doggy pee once again – only this time on the other corner of the door :|

So all three rounds were over and the boys were relieved but wait! It was a tie!! And they had to play an additional round. Hearing this Vikas jumped with enthusiasm!!
Probably he wouldn’t have been so enthusiastic because if he were to be tied to the chair :p

Then, as everything was going normal, Vikas displayed his stupidity again! He failed to shock the opponent team properly and all three members of his team had to receive the shock

Tie breaker ended in another tie =)) But this time they result was to be announced based on a single mistake. One mistake would cost them the immunity. This was done by Priyanka and hence the Green Mambas were immune!

Conclusion

Today’s was the most painful episode of the season, it was not only a physical but a mental test as well, would rate this episode a 4/5. Would’ve given It 5/5 if we would’ve witnessed the vote out as well!

Next week we get to see some fight and some climbing task with traditional Indian task. A confusing but exciting trailer!

That’s all from me for today! This is Darwin saying Sayonara, thanks for reading Daw-view-nism!

*”Shit! I stepped in it!! Oye!! Salle yahan bhi mootha tha!!!!! kahan gayaaa ”*
