I think the first post can be rephrased as " is there anyway by which HR does not come into the final" ...cause even if by chance he is out on merit, he may do dadagiri and get back on to the game. How to avoid it??? 😕
Gajjennddrra Sinngghh has created an interesting scoreboard:
Shankar
Shaan + Shreya
Himess
The top team (Shankar's Rockstars) is also the least popular - Shankar's team received fewer votes than Mika's team for the semis, remember? Therefore, Gajji could kick Shankar out of the final using audience votes. This would create a nice controversy and drama, too.
Then we are left with Shaan, Shreya and Himess.
Shaan is almost definitely in the final - he's popular and is joint 2nd on the scoreboard.
Shreya may be in the final - she's popular (not as much as Shaan, based on voting for semis) and joint 2nd on the scoreboard. But Shreya would not bring any draamebaazi to the final - she doesn't engage in fighting talk like Himess and her contestants aren't very argumentative. In fact, more drama and controversy would be created if Shreya is kicked out - there will be (1) the shock factor of a good and popular singer being kicked out and (2) the sympathy factor for her lovable team, esp. Rehman the chhupa rustam.
Himess may be in the final - Gajji could use HR's popularity to say that he got the most audience votes, which brought him into the final. This would create instant drama and controversy, because the bottom-of-table team would be put through to the finals, creating a nice 'twist'. Also, HR and his team would be popular, draamebaaz and gimmicky in the final, thus making the final more masaledaar.
Overall, since Gajji's aim is to maximise controversy/drama/masala, he will probably do the following:
1. Kick Shankar out - controversy created bec. top team has been kicked out
2. Kick Shreya out - controversy created bec. popular and joint 2nd team has been kicked out + sad story bec. Rehman and other lovable contestants kicked out
3. Bring Himess in - controversy created bec. bottom team has been put through + HR's team is generally qute controversial anyway
Thus, the likely final is going to be Shaan and Himess. The current scoreboard just allows Gajji to create more controversies.
JEETENGE SHAAN SE!
