VOTING.

A suggestion: No votes from the state which the participants belong. It will cut down bias.

Difficult to do. Most channels engage in this because they make huge money with small investments. The operators too earn a cool sum.

The best will be to stop all SMS voting to remove any bias or improper selections. China has banned SMS for such contests.

But then, very few channels in India will be interested to do such programs and give big prize money.

Then people will resort to violence, and the show will have to change the rule. :)-
