The first four are fixed the slot is empty only for the 5 th place i.e between Nihal and Sayli. Nihal has a X factor and an ascending graph might make it....
I tend to agree. If true, and I have my doubts now, I can only think that Sayli was not doing well on votes and all the perceived favouritism and importance (against which people cribbed) may have been to save her and was not to threaten the top positions. While I feel that favouritism for business benefits every participant, favoritism to protect someone from elimination is unfair to another.
I can understand Aru/PD time slots and screen time if that is what is getting viewers. That lets the show run for over 70 weeks, gets music videos, tons of clothes (participants keep all outfits and are seen in international/local shows wearing them), Manish Malhotra's, months of exposure etc etc. Top 5/6 should also get good cash this year.
But I don't understand the need to shove talent down the audience's throat by asking for votes and pretending that they are one step away from glory. If Sayli really is in the bottom then Sony is to blame. They could have said that she is in the bottom (using judges) - please save her. Does not always work. Did not work with Kunal and Vishal in IL 10. But a better strategy I feel.
But let's see. She may be bottom but the show is still live. There may be strategy to save her which the article writer does not know about. Or it could all be hot air and something totally different will happen.
