ASoT Ep3: "How It Ends" - 18/May/2025 - report

One couldn't have scripted a closer finish. At the end of the final episode of As Seen on TV (ASoT), Srijit ended with 90 points, winning the series by a single question's margin over Nitish (80), with Vilas (75) coming in a very close 3rd.

ASoT was a solo series that ran over the course of three episodes -- one each in March, April and May. Unlike other such series in the past, there was no cumulative leaderboard. Instead, the top finishers in each episode accrued some advantage at the next. Srijit climbed up the competition ladder steadily. After failing to qualify for the Ep 1 Finals, he finished in shared 3rd place in Ep 2, before finally emerging champion for Year 2024-25.
