I thoroughly enjoyed every contest until last year. However, I was extremely disappointed with the ‘Confidence Champion’ that ended today. I have no doubt that the best person didn’t win the contest. It is a shame even India’s “Confidence Champion” is chosen through popular vote. I thought only Z-TV and Sony TV’s filmi stuff is done through SMS. I know that Channels and organizers make tons of money through SMS. But you can’t associate with something which demoralizes bright kids. The Indore girl lost to the B’lore boy in the eyes of the judges. Biased and unqualified public is asked to choose the ‘confidence champion’. What a shame? I see an increased tendency of bias against the non-Hindi participants. It also happened in Z-TV and Sony TV contests. It was shameless on the part of Alka Yagnik to expect a B’lore boy, who spent 12 years outside India to speak chaste Hindi. Can she speak a non-Hindi language of India? Please change the format so that people like me can continue to watch your contests. Regards, Rama Kumar Dear Derek,

While I do run the risk of appearing like the fox and sour grapes as I didnt qualify for the finals, I felt that the entire prelims round was mostly based on BORING TRIVIA and not good, intelligent, workable quizzing. I mean, the very first questions talks about how a certain vegetable should be cut. Turns out the vegetable is a carrot, and I dont think anyone would have been any more or any less thrilled if Derek had mentioned that the answer was a brinjal or turnip or radish!!!! And the question on the Shinto Shrine? Very BORING, Mr. O'Brian! Looking forward to a better set of questions for the preliminary round next year. And btw, the prelims of the Odyssey quiz held last year simply rocked! So did the finals, compared to the Landmark quiz.
