The bottom 4 today and subsequent 'bhashans' by Javed and Anu were all planned. Sony will definitely get 1-2 girls in Top 3 but in between they want to promote an atmosphere for it and 2-3 weeks of stories for Rubaroo and increase in voting & TRPs.
Here's sony's game plan:
1. Charu had to go out sometime anyway.. she's not talented enough to be II3
2. Deepali and Puja were aritifically induced into Bottom 4. Javed knew the results and poor Abhishek had to bear the humiliation of hearing that he's in because he is a boy and no credit goes to his singing.
3. Javed and Anu's bhashans were fixed. Sony wants to promote the girls this year.
4. After 5-6 weeks of dramas, Sony will put 1-2 girls in Top 3.
Main thing is that no matter what the pattern of voting is, I agree with Mini that it is wrong to vote 'sympathetically'. Sony should stop these games and let the best contestants win. Udit was more sensible in his approach. Boys have taken a lot of flak over the past 3-4 weeks and may be the janta is angry that the judges are favoring Ankita and Chang over some really good singers who get scolded every week.
So please Sony shouldnt make this a girls vs boys thing. Say that this is for finding a truly great singer and nothing else.
