The way in which II-2 is proceeding, We might have to look at Sandy or Ravi as next Indian Idol by April !
If Sony pays attention to those mishaps and uses a format of "5 votes per phone/mobile", then a lot of bias due to mass voting would really go away.....This is implemented by some programs like "Dancing with the Stars" in US and that too successfully.....but Sony would have to be ready loose some revenue (or get more revenue thru advtg because of TRP rating)...
Yaaron, Regional bias is becoming a bitter truth of II/SRGMP/FG nowdays, really killing those good programs.... My guess is that Panna had to leave because of Mumbai votes being divided again between Amey, Meenal and Panna....That happened before when Sagar had to leave....Or Monali had to leave when Antara got Bong votes last week.....What say ?
