I personally think that the audience has the right to judge a contestant on whatever basis they feel right. They could vote based on the appearance, gender, personal taste....whatever it is, it is OK. But the judges need to give the correct score to every contestant. They have to put aside any personal perferences and base their scores on pure dancing alone. They should not feel bad to give score of 4 or 5 to contestants that are weak. This way two things are accomplished.
One is the contestant knows that they need to work hard and to work on things that they are weak at. For example if Ragini or Mahi is told that she has a particular flaw when needs to improve then know that they have to improve on it. Just saying that you were very good or fantastic when they were not is not helping them.
The second point is that if the judges score are correct, they will be able to compensate for the voting by the audience which is purely based on personal liking rather than good dancing. This will help people like Yana or the other model who got eliminated in the first round.
Judges should encourage the contestants for sure. So if Ragini and Mahi started getting score of 3, 4 or 5 in the beginning and then improved to 4, 5, 6 and then to 5, 6, 7 that would be understandable. Giving them scores of 8 or 9 or 10 when they are clearly not at that point must be very frustrating to other contestants when they are far better but receive score of 7.
Anyways, looks like I have ruffled a lot of feathers with my comment/observations about Mahi and Ragini,.......................
