Fame Gurukul is bullshit

August 29th, 2005 by gaurav | 109 Comments | Filed in

Just picture this in your mind, its Cricket World cup 1992 South Africa lost to England in semis because of some dubious rules. But they were desrving winners. New Zealand was playing so well that they won all the their league games until Pakistan defeated them in the semis. Uhh..now ICC wants to earn some more money and what they can do is to reorganise semi-finals again but they did not do that.

It happens so many times in an event that deserving winners go out early but the event organiser does not put back those candidates into the fray again.

Fame Gurgukul has done just the opposite by giving 3 of the contestants a chance to get back into the show who have already exited from it. They are trying to earn from the SMS scam they are running where they are charging Rs.6 per SMS whereas a normal SMS costs Re.1 and audience can choose their favourite contestant. Last week saw the audience SMSing around 4 million SMSes for the show. Audience is blindly wasting their money on such shows wherein they are gaining nothing and promoting such activities.

If this was not enough the have got 3 wildcard entires into the show, it seems that they don’t want to end the show but keep the money flowing in through such cheap ways.

See one of my earlier posts : about SMS scam
