BTW, in the site mentioned by the great exponent of fair play I also wrote under the same screen name in challenge 2007.
I don’t use different screen names! I don’t see any point, do you?

” first of all, as long as Rohini gave citations of the original records (which she did), it was not a plagiarism. Next time if you want to accuse someone do some research about the validity of your accusation”.

Rohini’s citation is still flawed. Because just giving a citation doesn’t help..either you got to rephrase the words of the original writer or you got to use paranthesis. Go check APA (Americal Psychological Association) Manual I guess the latest eidition is 4th. It has all the guidelines of what is not plagiarism. Rohini clearly plagiarized !!!Rohini better have some originality!!

I totally agree with truth!!!!

Thank you all for your kind words and support, I really appreciate it!!!

Thank you!! I appreciate it.

Amen Amen Amen
Have been reading your posts.
You are so very good in analysing. You have given the clear picture how Zee eliminates each candidate per se according to the Revenue they receive from each state. They may be coaching or advising the Judges to act accordingly so they can brainwash the public.

You may be confused about one question after reading my first post which has been the case in the other blog also that “these states (Eastern region, Punjab, Maharashtra) vote a lot and hence their contestants remain in the show then why would Zee need to manipulate the votes in favor of these states”.

What I have missed in my first post is that ‘Zee making a lot of money from voting during the grand finale’. Until the competition reaches top 3 or top 4 or top 5 the voting is pretty low, it’s only during the grand finale that the number of votes increases substantially. And that’s the time (during grand finale) Zee makes a lot of money from these states. Until then Zee sees to it that at least one candidate from one of these states remains in the show so that Zee can make a lot of profit in the grand finale by getting votes from these states.

You may ask why these states don’t vote heavily other times, a couple of points to note:

1. People really get into the “vote for so and so” mode once s/he reaches in the top 4-5 of the contest, until then the level of involvement in the show and identification with the contestant is low. Also, the public is looking for affirmation from the judges and the voting in general, that their region/state’s contestant is a good one and not a dud. The last thing anyone wants to do is support a not so good singer. This argument can be verified by the huge amount of votes that pour in, in the final stages of the contest and not in the 1st few weeks. Zee has to ensure the survival of at least one contestant from these states in the initial weeks so that Zee can make lot of money from the votes this contestant gets in the final few weeks.

2. Once in a while, the contestant may not sing that well and hence overall the votes s/he gets are lower. Or the people in his/her state may get a little lax at voting. This could happen either because of some more important events occurring in their state or as a pure case of probability that folks from a particular state once in while will vote less than the norm. Whatever the reason (contestant’s poor singing or lax voting), the effect is the same. If they let all contestants from these states get eliminated, then a steady source of high income to Zee in the final few weeks would be gone!!! Zee cannot afford that and it is in such situations that it steps in by either keeping a non elimination round or introducing new contestants in between (like aneek and Abhijeet) or bringing in a wild card entry etc etc. Judges support this by suitably altering their comments.

So, I don’t know if they rig the votes but I believe they alter the result by such unethical tactics.

Please note I am not against any state or community or region, I am only against Zee’s unethical practices.
