Reality Shows

Shinjini, a teenager from Kolkata, is admitted to the hospital. Her family said, she is paralyzed after scolding during a reality show "Dhoom Macha Le Dhoom".

The first reality show on TV was a grand success and the channel earned crores of rupees. And as usual all other channels followed. To add some novelty to the show, they all done something new.

In such reality shows, there are 2-4 judges, who give marks as per performance or give their comments and viewers are requested to send SMS. The person who gets more SMS, is the winner. Judges have almost no control to select the winner. In other words, winner is not selected, he / she is elected.

Now, judges are paid to be present there. They have the knowledge of that particular field say singing or dancing. And they do not have any control to select the winner. And those who SMS for their favourite participant, are not experts. Most of the persons sending SMS may be relatives, friends, neighbours etc, who just want their participant to be selected.

When the participants are voted by non-experts, what is the authenticity of the results ???? Mostly the judges are celebrities. I do not know why they get ready just to be a showpiece. May be because of the money the get. And the channels share revenue generated from SMS.

Well, I am not against it. But when it comes to a teenager who takes part in such competition it may be a dance / sing competition, I request ...........

............To The channel :

In reality shows, lacs of people are viewing its broadcasting and few thousands are watching it live. When the participant is a teenager, judges should not give their opinion with hard words, which may hurt the participant. (It's just manipulated to add sensation)

Avoid competition for teenagers. They are innocent and get hurt easily. The participants must work hard before coming to stage, which is very hard for them at their age.

........To the parents :

DO NOT EXPECT MORE FROM THE CHILD.
