Public Voting in Reality Shows - Boon or Bane?

As the jungs between contestants in our favourite musical reality shows are growing nearer, we, as the viewers, are clinging onto our seats, in utter anxiousness to see if our winner will come to the end. How can we assure that our favourite will make it to the top? Well, if you've got no mobile or cell phone, you're pretty much out of luck. For years together now, the basis of voting in music shows have been us, the janta. We make the final decision of who wins the title and who doesn't - but is this fair?

Tears fall from our eyes when we see our favourite contesants get eliminated from a show and lose their chance of becoming India's next voice. Eliminated contestants from all 3 music reality shows give a shock to the viewers - Meiyang Chang, Deepali, and Emon Chatterjee from Indian Idol, Junaid Sheikh and Harpreet Deol from Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, and Toshi from Star Voice of India. This gives the incentive for viewers to not blame themselves, but rather, the channel. Whose fault is this?
