i agree with most of you that the game is fixed and voting doesn't really matter.
one reason that makes me believe voting (at least the NRI voting) is bogus is by the time NRIs could watch and vote on the performance next elimination episode is already recorded.
i live in US and they air the show on Monday/Tuesday. Monday is the elimination round and Tuesday is the performance round based on which people are expected to vote. I guess Canada and UK also have similar schedule. As I understand from this forum, they record the show on Mondays (India time). So there is no way NRI votes will be counted.
Even the people in India get only 2 1/2 days to vote (Friday after the show is aired, Saturday, Sunday and till 10am on Monday). Getting 60 lakh+ messages during that period seems amazing (and unlikely to me).
