srishty -- Thanks for the warning about rabid quazi fans. I've had some discussions with some of them. None of them have been able to provide a good enough reason for their likes other than that he's a good performer and that "he's improved a lot".

I keep telling them that "improved a lot" is no criteria. It's about who is the best. Obviously, someone who is terrible will have more scope for improvement than someone who is already very good. There really is no logic to their voting.

Hi srishty - eventually every tv show is about the public viewing and trp...

Incase of reality shows, it involves tha public more - since they live with the participants on a daily basis.

There cannot be a "BALANCE" OR "LIMIT" to public voting-its like saying that the Director/actor/producer of a film will decide its a HIT - that is not possible - it is only the PUBLIC who can make such a decision collectively.

Can give you the same example for governments too....

I agree with you malin. But for some reasons I have my doubts about public voting. Think about it. If people are spending so much money to save a participant...why won't they keep public's choice in their show. How do we know that the numbers they tell us are true. I have no doubt that people are voting, but then sometime people can become ziddi about something and then voting becomes biased.

Malin you mentioned about government voting...which is not a good example. Don't you here and read news about how that is corrupted.
I am partially with you that we need public voice, but there has to be a limit.

Large scale public voting is an imperfect way to determine who is the best at something. This is why you have representative government. If people were to vote on every issue then there would be chaos and ill-informed decisions. For this reason you have subject Matter Experts who are chosen by the elected representatives to help make decisions. This is equivalent to the Jury in FG. They know the nuances of the trade better than an average person. You need them, along with the faculty to narrow down the choices for the voting public to do the wrong thing 😊

malinn -- First of all it's not 32lac people. It's a number much smaller who are voting many multiple times to ensure that Quazi gets through. They have developed a cult following for him and do not even bother to see if Quazi is performing well or poorly in the competition. They vote for him blindly. There is no logic to all this other than their fanaticism.

buddy you got my vote on that👏👏👏

Let me give you prime example. Look at USA president Bush. he won by manipulating publics' mind. People thought they were voting with their mind, but they were actually brainwashed by many of his distorted plans.

Well you might have heard an old saying. "Majority of the people are wrong. Only a small minority of the people are right. If this was not true, the majority of the people would have been rich." So true!

Malin I know what you are saying. but you have to see beyond all of this fasad. Just because they are saying qazi got 40lakhs, doesn't mean 40 lakh people voted for him. If I were to be qazi's or Rex's well wisher with financial resources, I can call and give 5000 or may be more votes. Show doesn't tell you how many people actually called.

I disagree completely - obviously people cannot vote on every issue - which is why they make the most important vote - in choosing the person with whose agenda they agree on most....thats the way democracy works - how the govt. works internally - is a beaurocratic issue -

Its like - public choose to buy X brand of toothpaste - which will have maximum market share - how the company works is an internal issue

Bush was chosen twice because he had HEAVY support and very STRONG media connections - power to buy / influence
