This was the first time Terence got himself into a discussion outside dance....and I'm proud of him! Not 'cause it was the first, but 'cause wat he said was totally right.

I know the caste wala comment hasn't gone down well, but you can go check anyplace where voices are raised against bias and such things...people usually mention religion, region, caste, gender, most commonly. So that's all there was to it.
About regional votes...wasn't that comment totally true? It is due to region that Sunita is actually IN the competition. Or was in the last 2 weeks, anyway...her performances last week were quite good. And to what Geeta said....Sunita was in the Bottom 3 'cause it's a dance contest. Trust me, Eastern region is a lot more interested in singing shows. I live in Kolkata, and there hasn't been a WHIFF of DID in the billboards or anything. Only about 25% of the people I see around watch DID regularly, and I haven't found anyone who actually votes yet.
Many people are objecting to the fact that he was silent when his own contestants got eliminated after great performances or came in the danger zone. Well, if you listen to his comments, it's quite clear that he was just holding it in all the last few weeks, with Bhavna, Vrushali and Mayuresh's eliminations, and Friday was just the last straw. He basically burst out with everything he's been feeling since the last few weeks. And anyway, if he said something about Vrushali or Mayuresh or Jai, most people would be like "Oh, he's such a bad sport, he can't take the results coz it's his own contestants." So (though I dunno if he thought of it this way) it was a sensible thing to wait till unfair results had come to contestants of other teams as well.
And another thing. About Geeta's comments. I do not intend to hurt her fans or bash her, but I really do not agree with her POV. Anyone can tell by looking at the voting patterns that it's not happening based on performances. Else Jai wouldn't have come in the Bottom so many times. Vrushali or Mayuresh wouldn't have been eliminated. Bhavna wouldn't have been eliminated. Salman wouldn't have come in the Bottom 3. Frankly, we are at the Top 6 stage, and so far, only Rakhee and Khushboo were proper eliminations and hardly any Bottom 3 results were fair. I think that says it all.
I'd like your opinions as well....I hope I didn't bore you with my long, long post!😆

I agree with you partially. It is somehow truet that people vote most of the time based on looks, personality or maybe region or cast. But also think about salman, he was safe all this time not due to muslim voting for him only. There are higher percentag of hindus than muslim in India, so I don't agree that people vote based on religion or cast. I can agree about the region. Like sunita is still in the competition but she has been safe lately but have not received highest vote like before. I also agreee that if people vote based on performance than mayuresh, vrushali and bhavana wouldn't have been elimianted. I am suprised that khusboo got all the way to top 7 due to veto power. I think her sister should have been on top 7 instead of her. But some people do vote based on beauty. Also, about being biased, not only junta is biased on voting but the grand master and reom is also biased. Grand master never gives grand salutes to terrance or geeta's contestants. He only gives it to Remo's contestents eventhough the pereformance is not even really good compare to other contestant. Like yesterday, sunita was better than khushboo. Sunits received 9.9 marks and khushboo got 10 wow. Remo usually praises his contestant only. But among the three cheoreographer, terrance is the best cheoreographer and he is also honest with all of the contestent when it comes to commenting on performances.

I totally agree with you. That's what I was trying to say.
