shweta i do not think at any point of time i referred to your comments or anybody else's in particular as being blind fidelity. it was a general remark if you notice and a conscious effort on my part not to quote any particular post just to avoid this particular allegation. do you really deny the existence of these said cliques, which hamper sensible debate on this form? it is the primary reason for my disappearance.
yesterday was an exception as far as points were concerned and trust me i think the girls deserved getting more than the boys in the jhoom round yesterday. however if one chooses to charge the judges with bias during the performance round, then one cannot deny the same bias in the challenge round. because all said and done, that is what they have been asked to do. if i am not very wrong here, they probably even put it to vote between the two teams. which round would you rather come off better in. it is a reality show, not really real is it? i sincerely believe that vikas needed to go to the penalty bench for his travesty in the name of kathak, but in the same breath i will also say that his jazz was better than ashita's. and before it is questioned, yes, i do know my dance and am also sufficiently trained to comment.
i thought yesterday the girls were particularly nasty with their very personal attacks on the boys' married lives. but i didn't see the boys get all defensive. they took it in the right spirit. once again, not denying bakhtiyar's cocky attitude, am not a fan. but well, after 8 weeks, his attitude was pretty clear and therefore the intention of the host was to create a fracas and sensationalize, which is why he questioned bakhtiyar in the first place. looks like his purpose was realised...and how!!
i still don't say its unfair to send mouni so often. hell, she's their best and there's no rule forbidding it. all i am questioning is whether or not it is commendable and worthy of praise. two separate things na? what is not illegal need not be commendable either. and i squarely placed blame on the format, not the girls. they are merely taking advantage of a relevant loophole.
the whole team issue i will refrain from commenting on. because obviously our opinions differ, but i respect yours and not sure if mine will be respected just as much.
and i think the forum in general would be a much happier place if only everybody made courtesy their mantra and not take difference of opinion so personally. is it actually possible for two people to have the same ideas always? and yes, those in the minority have as much a right to say what's on their minds as do the others who enjoy popular opinion.
thanks shweta.
