lets say A gets 80 votes, B gets 77 votes, and C gets 91 votes. B has a higher chance of getting out if he has, lets say, 68 or less votes. A is safe and won't get out. C has a higher chance of getting out if he has only 82 or 82 votes (very close to A)
if C gets much more votes than A, then he will probably not be out. but if it's close and he only gets a few more votes than A, then he may get out. if B gets extremely few votes, then he could be out also; but if he gets barely less than A then he might not be out. A would definitely not be out (if the channel stays true to the 50/50 format).
Sorry, I couldn't make heads or tails of this explanation, especially the bits about "chance" of being eliminated. For any example using numbers, the outcome should be clear. For a different outcome, a different numerical example is needed. Vague talk of "chances" this way or that way, especially without showing the calculation rationale, is not illuminating.
A 50/50 division between judges' scores and audience voting should mean -- I think -- that scores and votes are converted to the same scale. So, for instance, audience voting could be converted to marks out of 30 and added to the judges' scores.
That's the theory, but the point is the practice. Exactly WHAT is the scale used to make judges' scores and audience voting directly comparable on a 50/50 basis?
Or is this left vague -- deliberately! -- so that results can be manipulated to propitiate the TRP gods?
