I don't think Amey came adequately prepared. Clearly, he was added to the show at short notice (a similar comment applies to Rex, who appeared with him in Episode 11.) Not only was he not at his best, but he had some bad luck too.
In Episode 11, Amit Sana finished in the top 3 and was selected unanimously by the Champions for promotion. Amit wasn't at his best either (actually, that's an understatement) and just as clearly, he was chosen
because he was weak. Strategic voting had started by then, so Amey basically had no shot that week even if he had made it to the top 3 (he barely missed).
The following week, Episode 13 was even worse for him: though he aced with a 30, the champions unanimously selected Himani from the top 3, for precisely the same reasons as the week before -- with the same outcome as the week before (for Amit Sana): promotion and prompt elimination.
At this point, Amey probably lost heart too. The next week, in Episode 15, they brought back a whole bunch of wild cards (including Himani from a dismissal about ten minutes before!!), and he chose or had chosen for him a complete loser of a song. He had no realistic chance anyway, regardless of how well he might have performed that week.
But your basic point is well-taken. He was not an
improved singer after all this time.
And what say: would anyone in the present group have ventured "laaga chunri mein daag" under any circumstances? ;-)
