Anyhow, they should still re-imburse all those who wasted their money voting for a contestant who is not performing in the Grand Finale - for whatever reason.

Ayesha, 20,000 Indian Rupees is around 230 - 240
It's a lot of money

230-240 in uk..
U call that alot of money :O
I find that less despite bein in.uk

Less? Seriously? Our electricity bill is nearly that much... I call that expensive. I could even get 2 weeks worth grocery in that much money...

Also, around 200 is standard room rent per week in central london (if you go in more affluent areas then it's a lot more than just 200) but still... it's quite a bit of money

its 300-400pound per room rent in scotland. LOL

- that must be per month. Here, outer London areas you have to pay rent per week and per person. It starts with about 150 and as you enter inner London areas it increases. Scotland is supposed to be much cheaper than London, isn't it?

I always say its less for me cause I always have that much in my pocket :D. - wow, what do you do? Tell me so that I can do that too to have that much in my pocket at any time

For grocery lasting two weeks costs us 100pound maximum, I think it cause in my family we fulfil our wish wiyh our own pocket money or what we earn so.. - ahh okay. In London, just getting the basic grocery costs more than 100 per week (and when you get home, it's not a lot of things really. Just very basic stuff like bread, milk, juice etc). It's really expensive in London. I guess that's why I feel 200 is a lot of money to spend on just votes.

R u in london? Yup, London

Channel - wrong, because there is that risk of the show not performing so well so loss in that respect and less investors/financers next time around and explaining this investment to shareholders

Audience - wrong, they only spend their money voting and paying for the TV services (subscription etc) and electricity to watch TV/ or online so add in Internet costs as well

Contestants - right. No matter what happens, they still get paid for however long they stay in the competition so it's a win-win for them if they are awarded the prize and winner title at the end too.

So money wise, Contestants are the true winners and Channel and Audience are not.

channel also win by getting so much sms...this mobile ppl pay them and gave them special kind of number...that y thy ask for sms...jitna sms utna money...otherwise thy might use online one...
remember onces did used miscall...just becoz they had some major issue with this network ppl...

The channels do but not always. Like I said there is still that risk of a show not making enough in return i.e. not even covering the costs spent on making the show/paying contestants, judges, production staff etc - so no break-even let alone any profits

The real winners are the contestants. Whether a show is successfull or not, they don't really care, do they? They are still going to get paid even if TRPs decrease.

Missed Calls? Really, who used that? Missed calls don't really cost voters, do they? or does it depend on service provider?

right???!!!

I haven't spent a cent on their show. But I still feel like I should be reimbursed something for all the time I had wasted watching a scripted show.

@TM: Don't ever waste your hard-earned money on a TV Show...ever! There is no guarantee that your votes are being used to keep your favorite in. The only guarantee is that your vote is going to make the show makers richer. Just an advice!

nah,it's always per person in London even if you share a room... that's why I said its more expensive here.

Come on, Scotland students still have to pay the standard 4499 fee in uni, don't they while the rest have to pay the increased 9000 minimum. Or is it Wales students?

Wow, you do a lot, don't you? Anyhow, it's not that easy to find tutoring jobs in London, especially in Greater London areas (where I live). Travelling in central London per day costs 8 off-peak ticket so not really worth it to travel for a job that pays 10 per hour... not worth the trouble and the expenses. And if travelling by car then the petrol costs and congestion charge

u in uni or sixth form/college?

Anyhow, why are we discussing this London vs Soctland expensive on this voting for Isha topic?

LOL why would you spend that much money on such a silly thing? LOL

Can't blame the channel for the atrocious waste of money. It was your own decision, bud.
