As Seen on TV long-format series – Ep1: Results

The long-format solo series for SEQC's 2024-25 season, As Seen on TV, got under way with some drama and surprises. The Prelims round was done Kaun Banega Crorepati style. It was a high-scoring Prelims, topped by Rajiv with a stunning 23 out of 26 correct answers. Fifteen others joined him in the Finals, with a number of the usual Seed types not making it onstage.

The first Round of the Finals added a Survivor / Weakest Link twist, with participants voting to eliminate competitors. Not surprisingly, Rajiv was the target of this voting, and was eliminated without having answered a single question, poor chap. Later, Ajay suffered the same fate.

This format also meant unusual finishes across the board. But eventually, when the dust had cleared, it was a bit of the same-old same-old, with Shashwat winning by several lengths from Vilas. The top 4 from this Episode will get an automatic bye into the Finals of Episode 2, to be held on April 13.
