Question about Kiran and Ritu's exit

One thing I did not understand ...Kiran/Ritu elimination news came out on Tuesday, September 26 (https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/nach-baliye-4/743437/spoiler-first-elimination) But the show was telecast on Friday, September 28 and the voting lines were open until Saturday, September 29, 8 am or something. Then how on earth did they get voted out on Tuesday itself? Can someone explain what is going on?

Sorry if this point has been raised before.

The votes you give this week are counted in next week's elimination... This elimination was based on votes of last week + judges score of last week + judges score this week... Details of the format can be seen here Change in NB format from previous seasons

So does that mean that people voting for Kiran and Ritu between Friday and Saturday will waste their votes as they won't be counted?

Yes that is true I guess...
