LKJBKT another reality YAWN-Artcl

Three new reality shows are being launched in a week. If you aren't tired of the genre read on...
Show: Kaun Jeetega Bollywood Ka Ticket
Channel: 9X
Concept: A talent-hunt for actors
Judges: Shabana Azmi, Amrita Singh, Zeenat Aman, Mahesh Manjrekar.
Launch Date: July 6, Sunday, 8 pm
12 shortlisted contestants will be supported by the judges from each of the four zones. These mentors will be accompanied by twelve exciting TV stars, each of whom will be paired with one of the shortlisted contestants who have been identified after extensive auditions across four zones - West, North, Central and East. The twelve TV stars include, Jay Bhanushali, Karan Patel, Abigail Jain, Chetan Hansraj, Reshmi Ghosh, Naman Shaw, Panchi Bora and Twinkle Bajpai. Every week, the two-hour episode will present performances by the 12 'couple' teams of one TV star plus one shortlisted contestant. Each team will be judged for its acting abilities along with the ability to perform a song-and-dance sequence. These performances will be rated by the permanent jury of the four mentors plus the TV-viewing audience from home.
Once eliminations start, each week, one team (pair) will get eliminated, till the votes of the jury and the home audiences ultimately identify the winning pair. Ultimately, the show will hunt for that one 'Superstar Couple' who get an opportunity to be one of the lead pairs in a movie produced by Ekta Kapoor's Balaji Telefilms and Suniel Shetty's Popcorn Entertainment and to be directed by Apoorva Lakhia.
What to expect
We have already seen two similar talent-hunts Sahara One's Mr & Miss Bollywood and Zee's Cinestars Ki Khoj and neither threw up any great talent nor did the participants really benefit. Only Uvika Choudhary from Cinestars... has managed to make inroads into filmdom.
