Is the show really rigged or is it just in our mind - Page 5

In face off , it goes to judges favour.

I don not think they rig through votes. Two main reasons first if they keep a person getting less vote to they are missing out on the revenue generated both by viewership and votes. Second as told earlier the votes are audited.

I think they started the face-offs to rule out allegations of bad dancers staying in the competition and good dancers getting eliminated due to less votes, to make it look like more dance oriented...

I dont think show is rigged,but they try manipulating audience,extra promotion,exra coverage of their favorite,and marks too I feel ,its in the judges hands,feel they give extra marks sometimes,n sometimes less than one deserve,as know their fans will vote crazily to make their favorite stay,n this means extra revenue,but in the end they have to give in to contestant whos getting maximum votes,how much they prefer someone else.

@jyoti18, Great post!!!

Gags great post.

well the show looks rigged to me ..in what way that am not sure..but i feel channel has a big role in deciding who the winner would be...but that comes into play at much later stage only

there is inconsistency if you see the list of past winners..thats coz lets not forget earlier it was SOny and now its colors..so both channels were doing what benefiited them...

deserving winner dance wise is lauren...but i dont think she has huge bank vote...BIG MINUS
rest be it DD,shaan or kids...they all can be put under similar bracket..

DD or shaan have chances of more votes...

so eventually... DD,Lauren and Shaan look to me as potential winners...

and i totally disagree with members who say DD is a non performer..like really???? come on itna bhura bhi nahi naachti yaaro...so lets just say...barring kids rest all three would be deserving candidates overall (dance + votes) ...and its a fair deal ..is it not ????

so the question of channel being rigged does not really matter in the end 😆

DD isn't a non-performer...she can dance...but thanks to the time restrictions that she's juggling, her and choreographer don't have much time to polish or bring flow to their acts so many times the fumbles are GLARINGLY obvious.

Shan is deffo not going to win...DD's ginormous fanbase is going to sweep everyone out of the way...I don't even have a doubt about that😆...and poor Lauren despite being the best dancer this year and having shown the most growth in terms of challenging herself as a dancer is not going to win either.

Colors has set up the script quite well...Salman has been waiting and waiting to win since so many years...finally he's been blessed with a contestant with the biggest fanbase that will vote her to the finish line...lol...and then ofcourse there is the fact that DD is Colors's poster child right now...is shown to be working so hard juggling two shows...and she isn't exactly the worst of dancers either...she can atleast dance...so she won't exactly be the worst of winners😆

As long as all expectations of a truly deserving winner are thrown out the window, everyone can enjoy this show just fine😆

Some more things I cannot understand.

1. When you have a whole range of dancers why do a face off, because in that case even if Lauren gets zero votes every week she would surely sail through to the finals.

2. If marks and vote accounts for 50-50. Then why start marking from a minimum of 7. They should give 1-6 as well if the performance is that bad. To me 30 means ultimate and could not have been better, which could be maybe 1 in the whole season.

I know the above points are not related to the topic but then these are things which raises a question of unfair play.

About your first point , I do agree here .. in fact their format itself is not constant .. it keeps changing every yr as per convenience .. last year right till top 5 they dint hv a face off and this year suddenly right from start they hv a face off .. .. I feel face offs can come into play at later stage when competition gets tough and not before that ..

Coming to your second point ., I feel 1 2 or 3 are almost like fail marks and might b embarassing for a celebrity , so that can b avoided , but they can start scoring from 4 onwards and as competition gets tougher , they should b more and more strict with marking ... this year I see 30s r distributed every week like sweets , reason why even if a contestent scores say 26 or 27 which is high scroe too , they end up feeling disappointed and for this I blame the judges .. they r making the contestents used to 30s and so they feel if they cannot score 30 , then its a bad performance and gets demoralised

@ ruchisahay : U hv indeed raised some grt points 👍🏼.. What I feel is winner is decided based on who can get maximum regional votes (especially SMS votes which of course bring revenues for channel) ..So in a way u can say yes there is rigging of sorts but the rigging is done based on the trends of last few weeks before the finale and I feel channel sees two main things .. one is maximum growth as a dancer (counting his/her good days , bad days ..everything) and two is which contestent is getting them max SMS(regional) votes for channel .. So in this case if a contestent gets more online votes but another one gets less online votes but more SMS(Regional) votes , then the later is declared the winner which is sort of rigging only because if u tally both online+sms votes and give fair decision , then who knows , online votes might b more than SMS , but channel will give verdict in favour of regional votes


@All : Just now another member phal oh pg6 gave the link which shows how bihar voted in huge nos for Gurmeet last year .. he belongs from that region .. so this makes it clear that regional voting is given more importance here ... in forums , many might b thinking that if a actor is popular , he/she wins it but mayb we r yet to find out the real facts in this case 🤔..

So I feel channel rigs the winner who can get max regional votes for channel .. now whether its fair or unfair , its a different debate .. channel can always say we will give priority to our Indian states over outside india votes(online ones) 🤔
