Exactly like shows airing before 7 pm are not expected to give amazing trps coz even they don't fall in the prime time slot category. YHM in its 11 pm slot never gave the kind of ratings it did after it shifted to 7:30 . However, YHM during its 11 pm days had much better content than its 7:30 pm days. Problem here also is JDJ doesn't end at 11 pm and it stretches till 11:30-45 which is too late
And about hosting, DID has been hosted by non dancers all through out . I don't see how that is an issue. Host's job is to make the show entertaining.
This time JDJ has less GEC faces than any year or even compared to last season. And also this year they easily let go off popular GEC faces when they dint put up a good performance.
Where they screwed it I think is, they should have aired it at 9 pm . 24 should have aired at 10. 24 is a total washout.
JDJ even with such a late time slot is still giving average trps which is surprising . And pretty close to last year's trps's of some epis even though last year it aired at 9 pm.
I wish content was the king you know. SYTCD Indian version barely had TRPS even though dancing was so good. Shocking it was.
JDJ is in its 9th year , DID also has been running for many years and hence its trps suffered also . D+ is in its 2nd. I hope it can keep up but with time that fresh factor fizzles away no matter what you do.
