The fight for the throne
// January 19th, 2010 // Comments Off // Episodes
As we already saw, Vikas is extremely disappointed with Kriti’s elimination last week. The contestants were informed about their task for the day – A ‘Royal Rumble’ round where boys challenge boys and girls compete against girls.

Mahip and Niharika are the current King and queen as we all know. The task is that the boys will have to throw the boys out and girls push out the girls. The last man and woman standing win the task.
Mahip and Niharika had to choose 1 boy and girl to get to the safe zone. And the ones safe do not get to compete in the task and hence cannot be the king and queen. Clever huh?
Niharika saved Vikas but he refused to be safe. Now that surprised the queen! And therefore all the boys and to compete and no one was safe. Mahip chose Pooja to be safe and safe she was. The girls fight began first and Monika was pushed outside the ring first and then followed by Riya. Riya was thrown out by both Pavitra and Nirmal!

And it wasn’t too late after that Nirmal was thrown out too. Pavithra won the task and got to challenge the queen.
Now it was the boys’ turn. The first one to go out was Arjun. Vikas was hell bent on kicking Raman out and to never let him become the king; even if it cost him his place on the show. But the tables turned & both Vikas and Raman were out!

And then Raj was pushed out of the ring and this made Ashish win the task and challenge the king.
Later Pavitra challenged and threw Niharika off the ring and the throne! And so did Mahip to Ashish. The new king and the queen are Mahip and Pavitra.
And after a dramatic elimination round Nirmal and Ramanjot were dumped from the show. But Raman and Nirmal left the show in a kind of positive attitude and nothing to regret.
But is that how they really felt?

Episode 4 – The new king and queen arise
// January 12th, 2010 // Comments Off // Episodes
With only 7 couples standing the choice was given for the couples to change partners.
Two of the women were not happy with their current partners – Monica and Niharika exchanged their men. Now Niharika and Mahip (real life couples) are back to being together.
This 1st challenge for the couples was to perform and win at the Thai dance competition in order to become the challengers and challenge the current King and Queen. The couples were given 2 hours of dance training from Thai Instructors. I wonder which couple has a pair of left feet…
Many of the couples during the rehearsal session improvised on the steps and tried to create new ones to outperform the other couple. During the practice session, a tiff was in the air between Pavitra and Sufzal because they couldn’t remember the steps and that was leading to some harsh statements. They looked as if they were not well prepared for the competition at all.
The couples chose their costumes and got ready with their makeup. The competition began and the couples came out on stage one by one and performed their dances. Mahip and Niharika stole the show as they scored the highest and thereby earned their right to battle the King and Queen.

Pavitra was showing the signs of jealousy and insecurity and Vikas gets into a fit!
A new day dawns and the couples all head down to beach where MTV VJ Nihkil is waiting for them with their task for the day.
The task was for the men to carry the girls on their shoulders blindfolded perform the task. All the girls and boys need to either ally themselves either with the King and Queen or the challengers and whichever team wins the task of the day remain, and so are its allied members.
The 2 couples started the task -
- Eat - Pineapple chopsuey
- Drink – Love you long time ( find the shack that serves the drink )
- Shop – Find a jokers hat
They had to Eat, Drink and Shop all in 100 Baht.
The tasks was hard especially since they had a language barrier with the Thai locals, plus the men’s shoulder were aching and taking directions from their women wasn’t a lot of fun either
To everyone’s surprise Mahip and Niharika won the title of King and Queen especially since they were very close to giving up the task.

Kriti was having a talk with everyone on the wining team requesting them to vote for her!
All the contestants who had allied with Arjun and Pooja went straight to the dumping ground. That put Vikas, Riya, Kirti, Ashish, Sufzal and Nirmal on the other’s mercy.
In the elimination ground Kritiwas greatly disappointed when raj inspite of promising her, voted for Riya. This created a huge argument and a heated exchange of words with Raj and Raman about them not being her true friends, and shamelessly back stabbing her in the end.

The arguments started getting worse and it was beginning to look like Vikas & Kriti started to have a grudge against the entire team.
Kriti and Sufzal got eliminated, and Vikas vowed to send all those guys out of the show who plotted to get Kriti dumped out of the house.

Episode 3 – Tears for fears
// January 4th, 2010 // Comments Off // Episodes

This week, Ria and Vikas split, while Pavitra and Sufzal stuck together in the split-or-stick session. What came next was a surprise for everyone – for the first time this season, Nikhil announces that the couples are going on dates to separate locations in Phuket, and there is no challenge involved! Check out the look on their faces when they heard this news.
Little did they know…!

Later on, when Nikhil was alone with the girls, the truth was revealed. (Did the contestants actually think they were being let off the hook that easily?) Each girl was given a dull, dreary topic which she was to ramble on about, while they were on their date. They were forbidden from telling the guys anything about this, meaning it was going to be a real test of the girl’s charms. Of course, everything depended on whether the guy is actually listening to her in the first place!

The next challenge “Buddy Breathing” was a humdinger after the last one, where the winning couple gets to challenge Arjun and Pooja to their throne. Each couple was given one oxygen tank to share. They were to scuba dive, and find a “treasure” on the sea bed. Many gasps and gulps later, Arjun & Pooja found the Oyster and retained their title.
Back at the dumping ground, emotions ran higher than ever with all the contestants against Ashish, aka “The Master Mind”.
Kiran, Monika, Parag and Mahip found themselves on the dumping ground after Raman was voted in by the team and saved once again.
If Parag thought he was going to get lucky that night, he was in for a minor disappointment. Riya, his own girlfriend dumped him!

The King and Queen had a royally tough decision to make, ‘cause they really didn’t want to dump anyone. Apparently they never heard Spidey’s granny saying “with great power comes great responsibility”. When it came down to it, Arjun decided to dump Kiran – simply because he had to dump someone!
“I really want to be in the show, that’s all it’s just hard luck…please think twice… please…” were the last words of Kiran.

Pooja, on the other hand just couldn’t decide between Parag and Mahip. After a tearful debate, she had to let go of Parag, ending this week’s episode with everyone in tears.
