Like any other day.. Giri was good. But i expected more from him either in the terms of quality or entertainment. What is really surprizing is that none of the very known faces of quizzing were there on the stage. And the one hope raja satish lost it third time in a row in his two year MBA! Sad for him!

The quality of quiz was really good. The rounds were good. The prizes were also good inspite of recession. Giri's idea of scrutinizing the participants ensured that the Cruisible brand would not be tarnished the way it was last year in Hyd. Edition.

Special mention about the teams on stage: Though some dhanalaxmi college won the show, i would say that every team on stage was both lucky and also quick in answering the questions.
