Open letter to MTV producers:
I want to congratulate all of you for putting together an amazing season of ABDC! So many of my readers are calling this the best Top 4 ever, and are extremely engaged and entertained by the show.
It was announced on MTV Remote Control on Friday that "the crew that's racked up the most votes throughout the entire series will get a free pass into the finale". In other words, the crew with the highest cumulative votes over the season is guaranteed a spot in the Finale. That's an interesting idea, but it is probably unfair to Hype 5-0 and Blueprint Cru given 2 events from earlier in the season:
- There was one week where the voting was skewed because of an error on the MTV website's voting page. Since Poreotix was the first listed, their numbers would have been accurate. However, the numbers were probably skewed low for Hype 5-0 and Blueprint since their correct phone/text numbers were not listed
- The following week, Blueprint was given immunity. Result: there was no voting for them at all.
I think the idea of giving immunity for best performances and cumulative votes is one that should be seriously considered in future seasons of ABDC (and given how well the show is doing this year, I hope you will have many more seasons!). But this season it would probably give an unfair advantage to one crew,, unless it resulted in all 3 crews competing in the Finale. Given the level of talent of the top crews, I think MTV owes it to the fans to give a fair fight.
Thanks for considering this,
