Sony wants to keep the audience busy in voting for 10 hours out of 12 hours of finale, so that no one get time to judge the quality of finale show.Originally posted by: Realityshow
This 100 votes/hour for 10 hours is such a tiring and boring exercise that only the obsessed and die-hard fan can fully participate in it. It is an exercise designed to tire out casual viewers and favour the contestant with the strongest mental hold on fans.
I remember they had something similar for Idol 10, though for fewer hours. Even though I was more committed to Idol 10 I found it difficult, especially when the traffic becomes heavy and it takes more time to register a vote.People with connection speed issues will wait for a long time between votes.
I wish they had increments of 10 instead of single digit. That would make things easier if you really wanted to vote your full quota.
But Sony possibly makes a lot of money by torturing fans. And Sony loves it!
I am glad that I am relaxed about who wins. I still want my favourite to get some cash, but have low interest in who wins. Just wanted to see a couple of teenagers complete the entire journey. For me they are the future.
