    1. Overstressed Organizer

    Months of planning has come down to 3 days. EXCUSE ME IF I'M A LITTLE STRESSED.

    2. The Non-Punjabi Dancer

    Bhangra is for everyone, especially for other Indians. But when you aren't Punjabi, you often live in constant fear of mispronouncing Bhangra terminology, butchering song lyrics and missing inside jokes.

    3. The Guy Who Everyone Knows (Except You)

    Everyone says hi to this guy, he's back stage, he's not dressed up and no one knows why he's there...Or he could be one of those sexy BTF boys.

    4. Exhibition Performers

    It's their time to shine!

    5. The traditionalist

    If it's not folk, it's not Bhangra.

    6. The "I'm Only Here for the After Party" Guy

    Via gph.is

    "Why aren't we drinking right now...?"

    7. The White Jodi...The Black Jodi...and the Asian Jodi??

    Damn...Bhangra really made it in America.

    8. The Baby Face

    He'll grow a beard one day...in the mean time his team has markers...

    9. The Bhangra captain's girlfriend

    She literally can't even right now

    10. The Liaison Who Takes Their Job Too Seriously

    I know you're good at this...but dude, we'll get to the afterparty when we can...

    11. The Nervous Wreck

    Stop practicing, bro..

    12. The Groupie

    Via tumblr.com

    Hangs out with the team, also has a car...so they usually tag along to competitions. Their primary objective is to get kicked out of the hotel. They also usually possess little to no Bhangra ability and often black out.

    13. Mr. Boliyan

    Why dance, when you can sing? The lord of the boliyan circle is certainly not taking the stage unless the team needs a a real sher in the beginning. This guy takes shower singing to the next level with countless hours of practicing their favorite boliyans, likely pulled from YouTube. Pretty awesome though, just don't say the wrong lyrics around them...

    14. Harjot Hundal

    If a competition takes place and GTV didn't record it, did the even competition happen?
