The point is the show has been strategically editing out UpMa's statements & tasks to validate their allegations of cheating. The matter is still unresolved & thats how the channel wants it to balance out the competition. Do you really think the criterion of deciding the winner would have been the same had UpMa & Nandish Rashmi participated? Nope! As I said many couples have delayed/missed out on sitting throughout the tasks before, but they were never disqualified. Best part is Upen Karishma still manage to perform better than most married couples on the show in compatibility based tasks, even after that fake phone issue! ⭐️
Bottom line here is that the show is running on a script, no one is discrediting other couples or their efforts.
I mentioned they are your favs because you think UpMa's absence pre decides the result of love challenges. That is quite an insult to contestants who came on time and performed without any excuses. Also you didn't mention Nandish and Rashami(in your initial post) who too didn't perform but I guess for you UpMa is the only important contestant.
I haven't watched all Panchanama episodes, so I don't know if this type of behavior of declining or coming late for challenges has happened before. If so then they should also be disqualified.
The show is scripted but saying its running based on one couples action is quite an accusation and hard to believe because every couples behavior is being scrutinized in this show. We can see posts criticizing many couples in this forum itself. Be it Rashami's US visit, UpMa's phone issue, HimRuta marriage or Sharad-Mrunals Behaviour. Everyone is under the scanner.
@Bold: I think the outcome would have still been the same because earlier too there have been love challenges where all couples have won hearts.
