In the United States several people program bots to use online telecom services to place multiple votes. Several sites and shows like Howard Stern run things like vote for the worst. Reality contests are a joke. All they are worth for is time pass. All the jazz and drama makes for quite interesting viewing.
Agreed then channels should not claim that the voting is in all fairness and depicts what masses want (Janta ki aawaj) ... its actually which contestants strikes the nerves of the rich's audiences who can multi vote.
Internet votes, am sure must not be bring major revenues... may be getting more adv, showing number of hits... additionaly channels claims on interent only one vote is allowed... I mean all this doesn't make sense...
