I will try to analyze the votes in last weeks episode. First of all, let me make it clear that Hema & Debo are my favourite singers and wish both of them were in finals. This post is for Mr Aadesh Srivastava. Its public voting and Aadesh should have gracefully accepted this and wished Debo good luck for finals instead of making personal attacks on him. | |||||
Debo | Vinit | Hem | |||
North | 5 | 18 | 2 | 25 | |
South | 1 | 2 | 17 | 20 | |
East | 34 | 5 | 2 | 41 | |
West | 10 | 20 | 11 | 41 | |
Total | 50 | 45 | 32 | ||
OK, now if you add all the zones Debo and Vinit are clear winners. Aadesh was complaining about the homezone advantage. So lets substract homezone votes for each contestant. | |||||
Total -Homezone | 16 | 27 | 15 | ||
Still Debo & Vinit are through to finals. Aadesh complained about south indians not watchng this show. Agree, only 20 laks votes from South, but how do we justify only 25 lakhs from North zone (hindi belt). Do we have answer? Now, lets normalize votes for all zones. Since East and West contribute approx 41 laks each. Lets bring south and north to 41. | |||||
North + | 8 | 30 | 3 | 41 | |
South + | 2 | 4 | 35 | 41 | |
East | 34 | 5 | 2 | 41 | |
West | 10 | 20 | 11 | 41 | |
Normalized | 54 | 59 | 51 | ||
Still Debo & Vinit sail through to finals. So final words - "Public ka faisla sar aankho pe" ! | |||||
