Or as it could be called “The descent and rise of Prabhjot” . In Vote-Out #5 , she went out. And in the most recent episode she came back in, after challenging and winning over Anmol – good for her !
In the episode where she got voted out, amazingly all of the remaining roadies voted her out ! Amnol and Shambhavi reigned supreme, and the rest of the sheep just followed them, nodding their heads. Sonel, Prabhjot’s “friend” voted her out too, in an attempt to not antagonize the powers that be, but then spoilt it all by crying her eyes out in remorse. Well , good for her then – at least she felt bad doing the wrong thing. The rest of the Roadies – not so much.
So then, Prabhjot went home. But in the most recent episode, Ranvijay and Raghu brought the Voted-Out Roadies back to challenge the others. The challengers were allowed to pick whom they challenged and ofcourse, Prabhjot went for Anmol. Anmol, who’s Shambhavi’s biggest supporter and often rides on her coat-tails, has very little fighting spirit. She does little, and talks quite a bit (often maliciously). Shambhavi might be Pure Poison but atleast she has some spirit. When challenged by Prabhjot, Anmol was instantly defeatist.
In the task the two rivals were made to stand on narrow wooden platforms supported on the two ends, and supplied with axes. They had to hack at each other’s platforms to get the other person to fall down. Anmol made it up to the wooden platform, but got tired very quickly and gave up. Meanwhile Prabhjot had hacked through half of Anmol’s platform. So Prabhjot replaced Anmol, and Anmol went home.
In the other Challenge, Vikrant challenged Nihal and lost. Nihal who’s been getting it from all the others for shooting his mouth off, and performing poorly in the tasks, finally did something worthwhile. Vikrant who was full of fight hadn’t even hacked through half of the platform before Nihal cut though Vikrant’s platform and caused him to fall.
Two more challenges remain : Snehashish vs. Ashutosh (I expect Ashutosh to win) and Ankita vs. Shambhavi (I expect Ankita to win). As compared to previous Seasons of the Roadies, this group has seemed the most pathetic; they haven’t done a single task well, failing some so abominably that in Immunity tasks, no-one has gotten Immunity. However in the most recent episode, contestants are actually being chosen for their performance and not their strategies, bringing some Roadie-worthy spirit to the game. I guess Raghu had enough of the political mind games !
