I know the title of this topic is a shocker.So before ppl start sending me hate mails( 😉 ),lemme begin by saying I am a great fan of North ki Shaan .I'll complete the title of my topic here- good thing that north lost.. this loss will help them to win
But at this junction,I think it is a very good thing they lost.After all ,they still has the semi finals and finals.Now navin knows that he can't take the central team lightly.He knows their strengths and can prepare himself accordingly.If he had won this,he might have had a tendency to dismiss central and think that he can easily beat them in the finals.Now he 'll get really serious.In fact,in my opinion, it is better for naveen if he scores highest in the semis but doesn't win the semi final.that way the fire to win will remain , otherwise he might get over confident and complacent.
In my opinion central's strength is their strong knowldge of old and new songs.The girls from west(rashmi and anuja) also are very good at old songs and will give navin a run for his position. If navin has to beat them he has to concentrate on the following:
Brush up old songs,avoiding mistakes like the ones he did this time(not knowing kora kagaz tha yeh man mera fully)
Pressing the buzzer on a hunch/when he is unsure(the second last round)
There is one thing that might work to his advantage .If Rashmi and Anuja are the finalists from west ,then whenever any question on old songs is asked ,both west and central will compete to answer them(navin,not being too good in old songs wldn't try) .So the marks wld get evenly divided between both zones. this cld work to navin's advantage … since neither west nor central wld be able to get a huge lead.Navin's advantage is that he is very quick on the buzzer and shld try to beat them at new songs.
POINT 2:
there is another thing i want to mention.I think in the full n final round any person who presses the buzzer and doesn't answer/answers wrongly shld be given -15 or - 20 and not -10.I'll give the reason for my theory.In all rounds when a team answers wrongly,they lost 50% of the marks they would have gained had they given the right answer(eg +20 -10 or +30 -15).However this is the only round where the team loses less than 50% ... this actually gives a team an incentive to lose marks!!!The team which sings right gets + 20 and the other team is penalised for doing nothing and gets -10 (bad idea).so ,in effect the team which gives the right answer gets +30.But if a team gives the wrong answer they get only -10.The biggest and stupidest irony is that they wld have got -10 even if they didn't answer the question (if the opponent had answered the question).
So ,if a person going to be penalised to the same extent for not doing anything and for doing something wrong,wldn't any person in his right mind take a risk and do something wrong???at least i can snatch my opponent's chance away. this rule of ' baithe bithaye 10 ank gavana 'is so dumb,i cld hit the person who came up with this brainwave.......😆.food for thought,right????
maybe today's game will make the research team rethink their stupidity...
