The saying is "one rotten mango spoils the whole basket". When there is a basket full of rotten TV channels, I wonder what could happen.... On typical Indian streets, every corner becomes a garbage dumping ground, and the by-passers have to smell those when they pass-by each corner. The viewers get the same treatment on the television channels as they switch the remote.
The last fort to fall to these rotten channels was the Marathi SRGMP Li'l Champs. In the 14th episode of finals, the ZEE once again changed the rules to keep the telecom companies happy. They created another drama like their Hindi versions, and retained 5 participants for the mega-final. Nothing wrong in doing so.....but! Then why did not they think of it when other finalists were eliminated? Shamika and Shalmali were better than some contestants left in the show. As usual, they cooked up drama like any other saans-bahu soap.
Initially the ZEE had put a nice PDF of rule for this program, and one-by-one manipulated all of those for their own benefits. They added "+" and "-" to the scoring scale from 1 to 7 (S to N), later used higher octave for marking....while they were supposed to maintain a ratio of % SMS and the marks. You never know if they had scaled the SMS weightage to the highest marks given. In fact, higher octave itself is a manipulation in the competition. They changed the recall rules and now the mega-finals rule. Fortunately I followed this program only on Youtube, but I really pity those who watch it on TV. Lack of transparency, partial judgments, and SMS based discrepancies have marred this show.
However, remember that the garbage is created by the the same people who smell it.
