Support the competitors or producers ?

Malaysian Idol! Does it sound familiar? Yup. This programme is well-known in Malaysia... still remember when I first saw William Hung's "performance" in American Idol! He's Unbelievable!

Anyway, now the programme turns into an SMS voting competition... all u need to do is just to SMS vote to your favorite idol (or the idol vote for themselves...) and they can even have 2 shows in a week... WHY ? it's because the money all the voters are spending for them... so is it for the competitors or for the producers ???

Each SMS vote cost 50 cents... let say there's 10 contestants, and each can get at least 100 votes... either from their friends or family members... so that makes them earn.. erm... RM500.00 per week... and I believe that the votes won't be this little... so.. i guess they earn about RM 10000.00 per week... so if the programme continues for 3 months... erm.. that's 12 weeks... they'll earn around RM 120000.00... this amount is just the minimum profit... Imagine... I think I also wanna do an Idol show of my own... There's really a lot of reality show (that's wat they call it...) starting to emerge and the way to give your "support" is to SMS vote... some SMS vote even go as high as RM 1.50 per SMS... WOW! that's why Maxis and Digi is making hell a lot of money!
