Firstly I feel we should all accept the fact this program's rules has been structured in such a way that "Every week - 1 participant has to leave" …..
So this week it was Shamit.
Everyone feels bad that Shamit went out and others feel happy that he did, as he was a politician. What ever be the case, the circumstances leading to his oust are questionable…
When a similar incident occurred with Kirti, we had a margin for doubt that the decision was made purely to prevent 1 person from not getting any vote. This was fresh from the Chavvi episode where everyone were emotionally vulnerable after the hurt thy caused Chavvi. So it is entirely possible that that decision was not politically motivated.
Arijit's decision was not made as per the rules that required a vote on who was the best singer of the day.
His choice was a calculated move made to consolidate his position in the Fame Academy ( I can't bring myself to say Gurukul--- its disrespectful of the term; seeing the way things are run here ).
But when the judges pointed misvoting the first time – they were shut up with the argument that the rules have been set as such and there is no turning back.
So on the same grounds the judges would not dispute Arijit's decision after having their hands slapped once before.
