Congrats to the top 12… nice knowing all of you… we will follow your progress over the next 2 weeks.

Now that we are sure we will not get sponsorship to drive our dream route… we are getting back to work so that we can earn enough money in the next 10 days and drive the ‘same route’ or more…

cheers!

I love telling “I told you so”. I knew that the two couples : Joseph & Namrata ... Amit & Jasleen were bound to make it to the top 12.

Congratulations to the other 10 as well. It was quite a heart-breaker not to see our names. But, the journey was fun nevertheless.

Will keep following for the next two weeks. And now to decide on who to support. We’ll do that soon as well.

Cheers

Congratulations Top-12!! Great stuff! We look forward to seeing you guys compete for Top3 and then the eventual drive to #1 position. This is so well deserved - do remember to enjoy this moment!

We bow out as participants, but we will keep a very close watch on how things develop over the next few weeks.

Thanks a lot Team TGDC for giving this opportunity to try something creative. It was a journey full of fun and we enjoyed every bit of it.

Good luck to Top-12 participants, Team TGDC and the jury for a great and entertaining journey ahead!

Amazing!!
I think the best of the top100 got through…..
My favourite at this stage is Dr. Gaurav/elena who has “the cause”& Rishi/Poonam who has this immense dedication and attention to detail….. we had a small run in over a couple of misplaced comments but all that is behind us hopefully…. here’s wishin you two all success at the auditions. hope to see you in the top 3

Oh and guys did anyone notice one leg sh*****s are not on the top 12 ) all that hungaama for nothing….

Congratulations to all who made it in… may the best team win!!

Congratulations to the top 12.

Joe & Namrata and Radhika & Bharath made it, and that’s awesome!

As for us, we got our profile up on 13th, and made it to top 100, got to connect with so many friends, came to discover how our friends felt for us while pitching, and through their testimonials, and had awesome fun planning for a vacation we will now have to do with our own money

We should have worked harder I know, on the pitch, on fleshing out the route plan.

But then it seems to be a bit off, because we have seen people with wrong route plans (according to the T&C) get selected to top 100 and then to top 12 also.

Now it feels like we should have concentrated on something else rather than tweaking the journey we planned - which we thought was what this is all about. Only thing is - I don’t have any idea what is that which we needed to concentrate on instead

Not bitter, just an observation.

All the best once again to all the 12 teams. Give us the best show possible.

Congrats!! Although we didn’t make it, I’m happy that the best 12 did. These two weeks were perhaps the most exciting period of my life after a long period. For those who are on our side, don’t lose heart…we still have a chance to win…let’s help our favourite couple to win.

Posted by Deepa and Dhruba on 07/23 at 11:24 AM

We are REALLY HAPPY for Gaurav and Ellena, especially that Chandigarh is still on the map of TGDC.

Posted by Supreet Dhiman on 07/23 at 11:24 AM

i’m like an unconscious man

....cos i’m not in top 12…..i dont know the reason behind it….but i believe i’m the best among all trhe candidates….my mind is not working now…...... but only for this race i’ve done a lot….i left all my work i got loss of around lakhs of rupee in my business .....i’ve given all my hard work to this race…...but what i got is nothing….

thanks to TGDC….... but i can prove that you guys are wrong…i’m better than your 12 contestant…

anyways ...good luck to all your twelve contestant…

but one thing i wants to say all my family members were very excited they had hopes from this challenge…..atleast for my career.

i’ll never go for mitsubishi company even though i know its best….

and seriously speaking i’m the mitsubishi owner….and i recommended it to all my friends but today it hurts a lot when mitsubishi ditched someone like this

and yeah if u want to see how much hard work i did you can view my blog in my profile….....i was not a net savvy but i started to be…i used to surf around 12 hours from the day when i got to know about TGDC. i was very shocked i’ve seen all 12 profile but whats the different between me and them is ....my profile…..i was not a net savvy i’m a businessman but i given my best from my side…..my english i know its bad…...and what….nothing my route chart was very good…..see my blog.

anyways…..thanks….this shows that i should concentrate on my business only rather taking interest in any kind of contest and one thing i want TGDC Team should know, very soon i’ll come on race track and will definitely show you guys that whats my potential…....and this time i’ll sponser me by myself…

Congrats to all in the top 12. Best wishes for the next round.

Starting out rather reluctantly, we got completely completely sucked into this wonderful roller coaster adventure.

Didn’t make it to the Top 12, but what the hell - was a good ride =)

Congrats to the Top 12. We wish you all the very best. Have a blast.

And to the organisers - you guys did a fab. job. Good show!

Cheers.

Posted by Santosh & Hina on 07/23 at 11:27 AM

Hi there,

Thought I was not a contestant, i have been avidly following this, only to see if my fav contestants went through. I know the judges decision is final on the contrary I feel it was not a “genuine one”

iam no gainer on who ever wins it or loses it, but I would wanna say that I’d like to see Joseph and his partner winning the challenge.

Good Luck Joseph and partner!!

Cheers,

Congratulations and best wishes to the top 12 couples! I feel all of them deserve to be in top 3. I think jury has got some hard work to do in coming days.

Cheers
