Meaning why did they pick Shakti and Dharmesh to overhype and not for example Kishore or Punit? What difference does it make to Zee if Shakti wins as opposed to Punit or if Dharmesh wins as opposed to Tashu? I mean Dharmesh and Shakti are not from zones that tend to vote in high numbers to begin with. Dharmesh is from Baroda, not a traditionally high voting zone and Shakti I believe is from Mumbai or Delhi in either case both cities don't vote well in these kind of shows. So why would Zee select these 2 contestants to overhype and not someone else? This is where the whole show is rigged theory falls apart for me. I don't see how Zee benefits from a particular contestant winning or losing.
first of all, let me say, great topic and a good question that you have posed.
If you ask me, i have no idea on what basis they pick someone to hype, none whatsoever. I dont think the reasoning is at a very basic thinking level, if you know what i mean. like you and me, we are common people and lets say we just saw the performances, and none of the mentors', hosts', gm's comments then i dont know if we would still like who we like. am not saying our opinion will definitely be different if we just saw the performances, but i guess we will never know. to me it does look like they are hyping some and not others, thats not to say that the hyped ones arent talented or anything. But i feel they do pick some people to hype and not others, like for eg: jack, he has hardly been there for a couple of episodes, but the comments he gets are more like omg jack, jack, jack.... you were awesome as usual, etc. the gm talks more even about the way he talks and everything. whereas someone like kishore or puneet dont get as many comments. its all about exposure and i think some contestants are getting more exposure than others which i think is unfair. I have no idea on what basis the chosen ones for hyping are actually chosen, lol. Am not gonna go so far as saying i know that the whole show is rigged, nor am i going to take a stand and say no i know for a fact that the whole show and voting is fair, because i dont work in the production or show and i cannot know for sure.
