One
of my all-time favourite games is Chess! Favourite... to witness...
mind you, not play! When you watch, you can read the minds of those
playing and see the traits of competitiveness, deceit as well as courage
guiding each of their moves.
Survivor India
is one huge chess-board; the only difference being the checks are
Red-and-Yellow instead of Black-and-White! Red for Tayak, Yellow for
Catan! And you know what's more intriguing about this chess-board? The
pawns make moves not just to knock off the other tribe, but some of
their own too.
In addition to this, is the mayhem of the third tribe – Ayunan! An
invisible influence (since it was kept secret from both Tayak and
Catan), which is having visible effects! One profound effect is the
invent of a new word - 'Shockaaa'! Quite an interesting word
that was shot out of JD's mouth the moment he saw Shilpa strolling down
the Catan beach! While JD's jaw dropped, Shivam froze with daatun between his teeth and Sthitpragaya
went blank when Shilpa came and said hello! Payal was the only one with
a welcoming smile. And why wouldn't she be happy? Her old ally had
returned in this raging war of survivors.
Michael had a slightly different effect on fellow contestants when he
returned to Tayak. Abhinav, Rohit, Harrison couldn't stop smiling, not
at the fact that Michael was back, but at the fact that nothing in
Survivor seems to be the way it was supposed to be! The kind of smile
that reflects how helpless one is. No matter what moves they make,
Survivor India has a way of getting the contestants back to square one.
With Michael and Shilpa back, the game has turned a new leaf. What next?
Well, just between you and me, there's another big blow waiting to hit
them in the face... and guys, am I looking forward to that one? Yes,
with baited breath! Stay tuned, watch Survivor India – Jee Paoge Sat-Sun 9 PM. Don't miss!
