Blatant partiality?

Okay, so reality shows usually find a way to camouflage partiality, but hey this show has no qualms about being in-your-face! 😲 Isha-Salman, Punit-Shibani and Gurmeet-Shampa are being treated like VIP contestants, while others are being dished out regular aam-aadmi treatment. I, for one, have not been enjoying either Salman-Isha or Punit-Shibani's work for the past two weeks. Both the teen ka tadka with Karanveer and the so-called 'theatrical hip hop' acts were so weak that I almost gagged when they received 30's. The teen ka tadka was as messy as my morning hair. All I could see was Isha going into a split, and again, and again, and again. Coming to Punit-Shibani, I don't think Shibani is really cut out for hip hop. She was so dheela and lifeless, there was absolutely no energy in her performance. I had one word for it: boring!

I agree and I disagree. I do feel that Isha, Shibani, and Gurmeet are being favored in the sense that they are getting 30s that they do not deserve. But I also believe they are being favored because they dance well, if that makes any sense. Anyway, coming to the performances...Last week's performances of Isha and Shibani did not deserve 30s. I thought Isha was good but not a 30 and Shibani was not perfect either. This week, only Isha deserved a 30 IMO. I thought they both were fabulous. Shibani was sort of 'dheeli' as you said. And Gurmeet was just average, if I have to be honest. It wasn't bad, but again, not a perfect 30. I like the concept though.

This week's performances were no better. Isha-Salman really need to dump contemporary and do something different. There are so many styles that they could have explored till now but they keep improvising within the limits of modern/contemporary. I think that's probably because Isha is not capable of doing styles like hip hop, street/funk jazz, bollywood and latin styles, so they mutually decide to overkill the only style that can fetch them 30's over and over again. Trust me the day she does anything else, it's going to be epic fail, unless ofcourse our judges decide to take a power nap during their performance and wake up only to display the 10-score board 🥱Infact I don't really think that she excels at contemporary either. She's simply very very flexible and light on her feet - Salman makes good use of these traits and incorporates them in, well, every freaking choreography. Contemporary is very different from performing a couple of stunts and tricks. I am an advanced contemporary student and have been training for over 3 years. Trust me we don't keep going into splits or back flips every week. There is something known as 'technique' which unfortunately flexibility can't buy. You have to learn and acquire it over time.

This I completely disagree with! I refuse to believe that Salman has been improvising his choreography within the limits of contemporary. I feel that Isha and Salman have shown versatility. Just last week, they performed Bachata. They have done Paso Doble as well. It's unfair to say that haven't done Latin dances. She also has done Bollywood early on in the competition. As for hip hop, well, give it time. I'm sure that will be coming up. I actually have to appreciate Salman for choreographing different styles and still showcasing Isha's strengths somehow! That is a mark of a true choreographer.

People like Darsheel and Gia deserve far more recognition and praise. Darsheel is such a dynamite, I am absolutely in love with this jodi and their performances. He is energy personified. Gia is not afraid to experiment. I like how she takes risks and steps out of her comfort zone every week. It is definitely not easy.

Darsheel definitely needs more recognition! The kid's awesome! As for Gia, I believe she is mediocre. Even her so called "30" performance was not that good last week. I agree she has done various styles and kudos to her for trying them. But I don't think she is underrated as Darsheel is. She is just average.

As much as I loathe the unwarranted support that Gurmeet enjoys, I have to admit that their semi-classical act was truly good. He didn't make a mockery out of the semi-classical form and maintained his posture. Plus the idea was pretty novel. But this applies only to this week's performance. I don't think he deserved the perfect 30's in the last 3 weeks.

Disagree here as well. In my opinion, I think Gurmeet was very good last week. In fact, that was the only performance where I felt he deserved his 30. The choreography was brilliant too. This week's was not that great. It wasn't bad at all. But it was not perfect either (Perfect = 30). I admire Shampa as well for trying different styles of choreography every week and still making sure her partner's strengths are shown. To me she and Salman are choreographers who are just on another level.

I wonder what has got into Remo because I always thought him to be pretty impartial. He's probably promoting Salman and Punit because they've risen from DID. 😳

By that logic, he should've done the same with Sanam.😕 Yet he and Archana are out by Week 3. I do agree that the judges are partial but I do not think they have personal biases, like the one you mentioned. They are just partial to those who dance well and treat them as if they cannot go wrong.

I haven't seen today's episode, but I did see a glimpse in the promos and Salman-Isha's look like a yawn-worthy same old-same old performance. More stretching and lifting. Plus her attempts at expressing just make me laugh. She does not experiment with anything at all, you're right...and it is because she won't be able to do much outside of the contemporary/aerial sphere...definitely not any form of break dancing/hip-hop at all, jazz-funk, afro-jazz, bollywood, swing dancing, tap dancingor anything that requires her to have more FUN, be more comical, show more ENERGY, where she can't do splits here and there. Essentially, she's not versatile at all...and a massively overrated contestant. There are times when you can even SEE her preparing for each step. She's very concious..That's not the sign of an amazing dancer like Isha is portrayed.
