Well i saw so many people talking about Cyrus,Nikhil,Cyrus(CNC) replacing Raghu and Rajiv (RR).No, m not talking about each n every one of you. But am talking about the ones who commented on about how judge panel has flopped and they are making show boring. Hey its not confined to you guys not liking them, i have even seen my roommates, classmates saying that. But after todays episode everything is clear. People are getting adapted to the change.

So now first of all, what we must try to understand is the show makers perspective. What they did here is they tried to bring some changes and yes not small ones but some big ones. They replaced RR who were really very famous amongst the fans and specially Raghu, many of us started and used to watch Roadies because of him. Yes, no denying in the fact that he was an integral part of Roadies. And now MTV removed him.

So is this a wrong or stupid decision ??

Well, according to me NO. It is not, infact it is something which may help them in long run.

Why ?

To know the reason, lets first take what is Roadies. Well its a reality gameshow whose main theme is people of different backgrounds put together and they give their best in tasks to make it till last. Roadies originally is not about poilitics. Its just about tasks and the journey where we get to see carefree contestants just performing the tasks and enjoying the journey of their life.

And in past few years this has been replaced by POLITICS, yes people started giving more emphasis on winning the show than enjoying it and for that they stooped down to a new low in every season. Tasks and enjoyment took the back seat and what becomes first is being till the last. And yes i know the line, HAR ROADIE AKELA HAI is being brought up MTV guys only. And yup for 5 seasons they made us believe that this is the integral theme of Roadie. But actually it isnt. Its the TASKS and the ENJOYMENT.

And what happened during these 5 years is what we started to think about Roadies, it became a show where we started enjoying the swearing, the bashing, the fights, the politics. We loved Raghu shouting at contestant and started thinking Roadies is nothing without the swearing and judges shouting on contestant or making fun of them, during the journey hoping Raghu will come and again bring some twist or just come and bash some. I know that was interesting, but was that Roadies, NO.

So, what i think is MTV gave us 5 great years with all this but in a long run that obviously is going to get monotonous. Roadies is just becoming a show where people just shout. Yes, ask everyone around what you like in Roadies. The most common answer is RAGHU. People forgot that its something by MTV, instead they started thinking that the show is by Raghu and its totally Raghu's and nobody else's.

According to me, it affected Roadies so much that the shows copying Roadies, din copy the tasks or the kind of performance related adrenaline rush. But instead they choose to copy the interview round swearing and shouting and the politics. This i think is what kind of mindset that has started to develop in mind of other people. And the thing thats worst affected by it is the main motto of Roadies.

So, for me whether the new judges are good or bad i wont comment so soon. But what i would like to appreciate is the step taken by MTV. They removed the USP of Roadies but only to increase the longevity of the show. Only to remove some negative approach towards the show by many people. And to bring back focus on the Journey and not on just P.I..

Yes, earlier there were people for whom watching Roadies was just confined to watching P.I. they never cared about the journey.

So, before talking about the new judges or the entertainment PI's are providing what we should look at the step they have taken which may bring back the old spirit of Roadies back and maybe this year we might get to see more emphasis on tasks. And hopefully very less politics.
