^^^Thanks Kash for explaining that...It is deff better than what I had cooked up...LOL...but seriously...it seems a likely explaination...all in all proving that Audience voting can not be depended upon to pick the most deserving contestents...if the reasons you have suggested are to be believed then it is rather sad that such a grudge is held.... in fact judging by the numerous posts I have read on Jay being there for Panchi, it is evident that the Neev-Prachi equation is still on their minds...
I cannot speak for others but I am a Michi fan and I surely voted for her...but I completely understand what you mean...there just wasn't the same interest in this...Actually though there will be a touch of regret she is out, I cannot say I'm totally disheartened as The show seems to be on a downward spiral..everyweek there is some new drama, some more politics...I think people just thought it best that she was clear of these things now...I am in no way claiming to know Panchi but a lot of fans see her as this sweet, pure and innocent creature...I guess they just want to keep her protected from it...
