See, I think you will agree with me that the voting pattern has been not so fair, and some really good ones have been eliminated ' the simple reason- voting system is not a flawless, completely fair system. So the judges maybe felt the need to somehow compensate for it.
They couldn't bring 3 back- it would be a little too much after all the voting that has taken place all these weeks- so they decided to bring back at least two. And at the second spot, Ankita scored over Krushna not just bcos of her dancing in the wild card, but also cos of the additional considerations- her performances in the last few weeks, her enthusiasm, (Krushna axed his feet by openly declaring that he didn't have too much faith in the show or the heart to come back- even if he didn't mean it) and her future chances of remaining in the show (she was eliminated later by public voting than Krushna)
I agree with you about the voting system being flawed....isn't it always, on all shows?? Let's not forget that many times the marks the judges give are also responsible for letting the contestants be eliminated. This clearly happened in Salyana's case. Now, if the judges wanted to "compensate" for Ankita being voted out prematurely, should they also not have "compensated" for Salman's injury at the time by giving them higher marks than they deserved for that PARTICULAR performance, so as to act as a buffer against low votes??
If, as you suggest, judges took Ankita's cumulative performances into consideration when deciding to bring her back, then during Salman's injury they should have done exactly that. Maybe they also regretted not doing that, so they decided to be "wiser" this time. But, to me this concern seems belated and misplaced. I can understand why Krushna is feeling cheated. If the studio audience (including your competitors) gave you a standing ovation and the public survey also seemed to favour you, it would seem suspicious that the format was tweaked in another contestant's favour.
Again, don't get me wrong. I am NOT a Salyana or Krushna fan, nor do I dislike Ankita. I'm not even watching this show for the contestants. 😆 I would not like it either if the format was tweaked for Krushna. I am questioning the need for changing it in the first place.
The fact that the channel showed footage of Krushna being liked by the public makes me feel that they don't have a grudge against him. I would rather question the judges. They may have the best of intentions but as I said earlier, the sympathy is misplaced. The public is allowed to vote on sympathy, liking, fan frenzy, anything. But judges should think ten times before making changes like this. Some people here are asking how we can raise doubts on the judges, but I thought this was exactly what discussion forums are for. 😊
