remo would be able to do wonders with dharmesh because not only can he hone dharmesh's forte and present amazing hip-hop choreography, but he could have branched out and made use of dharmesh's versitality. i'm talking about remo because dharmesh wanted to be in his team, and they should have honored that choice. terence would have been much better than geeta, too, obviously.
I always knew they would set it up so that it would be the 3 mentors against each other with the top 3 contestants but I'm not sure I would go that far to imply it was a fix cos for that matter, even the winner might've been a fix. Zee have the ability to count whatever votes they want to and discard whatever votes they want to-which defeats the purpose but hey there you go!
Geeta may well not be on the same level as the other judges but what should we do about it? You say give Dharmesh the option to choose his Guru. Well then all contestants would complain and want to select their own mentor and what if majority (if not all) end up wanting either Remo or Terence, then what? It is not practical at all to let contestants choose their mentors. Everyone has choices and preferences, I;m sure even the mentors have choices where they want contestants from their peer's teams but that's the way the game is and they have to play along. Personally, I would choose Amrita over Teena but if Geeta has made that choice then that does not make her an incapable judge by any means. She probably has better judging ability than us all, hell she's been in the film industry for enough time to know about potential and skills and what not. If she believes she can make Teena in to a great dancer and sees the potential then good for her because she is the one who has to teach them at the end of the day so it's only fair she gets a right on who stays and who goes.
Let's not forget Geeta also has a lot of assistants to help her with choreography (as do the other judges) so just because she's not a hip hop dancer, does not mean we will never see Dharmesh hip hop again.
I think we should save the complaining for later when maybe the level of performance drops, but hopefully it won't come to that stage. :)
