MTV Roadies 6: Hell Down Under!! - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

vinfreak · 01-21-2009, 11:17 AM

The only Bike related show that is popular with the masses!! Love it?? or Hate it??, its worth a discussion. We can discuss the positives, negatives and anything under the sun!!

My point: Love the ZMAs in the show!!!

Off-Topc Approved.

I really don't know why am I approving this topic. My brain and heart both says this is going to be a futile attempt in dissecting what could have been one of the best biking shows in television. But, it actually turned out to be a worthless attempt! It has everything from politics to shitty attitudes; the only thing that is left out is motorcycling!

I really wonder why this show is actually called what it is. One of the worst shows on television, right now, according to me. But, then I guess there is a reason why it is so popular that it is in it's 6th season!

Here we go...Again!!

But then if they show them just riding for like 5-10 mins a show, then it would be boring from general population point of view. Guess Talking helps TRP ratings

.
If its a half hour program, then it will be hardly 17-18 mins between aads. So i guess they would rather show them fight than riding

So can just forget that its a bike related show and take it like any other reality show. Some times its fun actually

Praful · 01-21-2009, 11:34 AM

Ummmm.....If for a moment we consider that Ro(w/a)dies has nothing to do with biking and those people are not **bikers**. Then IMO its a pretty interesting show to watch!

Yes its fun to watch for sure just the name should be renamed to rowadies

inder.cool · 01-21-2009, 11:46 AM

I think its pretty nice to watch...pretty hard/comedy tasks are given to the roadies in this season...!!!

Well, its sad though that Raghu became offline....so all those "Twists" won't be expected every now and then....

vinfreak · 01-21-2009, 12:12 PM

Frankly speaking..i love to watch the show!! and its the masala in the show that has made it popular

.
Last week had some funny tasks..i pity the guys (if you know what i mean

) and a long bike ride too!!
The negative i feel is that theres less of bikes and more of other stuff in the show!! but at the end TRP's is what counts!!

Jonak · 01-21-2009, 12:25 PM

Well, I watch this show only when I do not have anything to do in a Saturday evening.
I watch it because,
1. I can see my bike (I mean, several ZMAs lined up) in TV.

2. I can 'know' that these 'Roadies' have covered some distance in bike. (In last episode it was said that roadies have covered 320km in bike in 13 hours.

They only gave us a glimpse of that ride in 40 seconds)

P.S- Though, this time I would love to see the ZMAs in Australian road.
