MTV Roadies 6 : Hell Down Under : Group Discussion Tips

Here is the list of Do’s and Don’ts for the Roadies: Hell Down Under Group Discussions:

Do’s:

- Be calm. During the GD, try to remain calm and maintain your composure.
- Be specific. Whenever you get a chance to speak, stay to the topic and be specific. Remember: It is the QUALITY of your talks that are being judged and NOT quantity.
- Be polite. If you want to contradict another participant on his/her views, start with a sentence like ‘ I understand your point of view but I think that (your view)’ or ‘ I agree with your thoughts but the way I see it is (your view)’
- Make opportunities for you to talk. If there is utter chaos in the GD and no one is listening to each other, turn to the GD moderator and ask his/her permission to speak. This will automatically silence the other participants and also give you a chance to put forth your views. (Don’t forget to thank the GD moderator)

Don’ts:

- Yell.Yelling and screaming what you have to say doesn’t necessarily mean that you are getting your message across.
- Argue. Arguing or fighting with another participant to prove your point sometimes might make a negative impact.
- Speak Gibberish. Remove the notion from your head that talking more is going to make an impression on the judges.
- Target participants. Targeting a particular participant and putting allegations or making personal comments is a big NO-NO.
- Interrupt. NEVER interrupt another participant when they are talking. It is highly uncordial.
