Prelims



Finals Round 1



Finals Round of 8

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.

Pre-qualified contestants from Ep 2
1. Shashwat (couldn't attend Ep 3)
2. Nitish
3. Srijit
4. Raunak
5. Ira (couldn't attend Ep 3)
6. Devika

1. Rajiv (prelims score 33.5)

7. Nikhil, Anirudh (23)
9. Ruchira, Nathan (22)
11. Anjali (20)
12. Amey (19.5)

Divided into groups of 3, these 12 took the Jeopardy-style Round 1 of the Finals, with the winner of each group joining the pre-qualified 4 from Ep 2 in the Round of 8. That Round had 3 parts, at the end of which, these were the final standings:

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.
