Fair Treatment to all

Recently, I have started to have a feeling that KBC is having a tough time trying to find proper questions for their Fastest Finger First (FFF) round. As most of us know, this is the last elimination round, where in ten participants compete for the Hot Seat. One question is asked which has the four options to be arranged in some specific order.

I have two observations to make ... in one of the recent episodes asked the contestants to arrange the title of a popular Star TV's well known Indian serial. In another couple of episodes, the contestants were asked to arrange the options - the options were either ornaments/clothing in the order of how we wear it on our body.

In the first, I think the question is well below a level for the level of KBC. With such a popularity and the questions compilation team, even, consisting of the well known Siddartha Basu, I am starting to doubt why such an efficient team has come to this level.

With respect to the second question, I'm satisfied with the option - but the choices were only in Hindi. Given that English is the most common language spoken in India, and Hindi not being prevalent everywhere in India, I have the strong feeling that contestants should not be denied their fair chance because of linguistic issues.

A few suggestions that KBC could follow to get some nice questions for their FFF ....

1. Chronological events, age, lifetime - anything date wise, historical
2. Height, weight, etc. anything compared to numbers.
3. Anything related to placement, geographical.
4. Record related - like most numbers in a cricket match, etc.


Hope everyone gets a fair chance!!!
