Personally, I think that the entire show has been scripted this way, and it's
just another way to increase their ratings and make more money. Besides,
they're earning Rs.3 per vote, and I'm sure this entire drama will result in
people voting more for the remaining contestants, for fear of them
getting kicked out. After all, one of the hosts said something to that
effect at the end, asking the janta to vote more. It's all just a big drama,
and the way you guys seem to be getting worked up over it, it seems like
their trick has worked.
We should all just calm down, and understand that this is exactly what
the producers want to see. An outburst, more publicity for their show
AND CHANNEL. It really isn't about Amey or Anuj, the judges or the
remaining contestants. I bet the judges knew what they were supposed to
do (walk out and suggest a rematch later) way ahead! Seriously, as far as
the singers are concerned, the good ones have already been noticed, and
they will be signed on by music companies and music directors soon, if
they haven't already been snapped up. I'm sure we'll be seeing their
singles on the charts soon, and hearing their voices in movies.
Indian Idol, like all other tv shows, is just a scripted formatted show, and
the producers will insert shocks such as these to spice things up. It just
goes to show how believing and naive all of us are, lapping it all up, and
reacting just like they would expect us to.
Although, I do wonder what Amey's mother was upset about, when in the
end, she praised Amey for acting the way he did. Was she trying to
control the crowd or something? Telling them to stop protesting? It's all
so confusing, and I think it was all staged, anyway. One big drama to get
higher TRPs.
