^ exactly my thought, and not just mine :twisted:
Kryvoshapko became people's fave... but all those scandals (when the jury voted despite the channel's will to give everything in televoter's hands... it was a big scandal, I can imagine what was going on behind the scenes, the host of the show is the wife of one powerful and rich person, and she's in charge of the whole show basically, so the jury didn't listen to her even though she was asking them
So the channel returned Kryvoshapko)... all these scandals ironically influenced his destiny in this project.
Also, now I think that only 1 juror will stay to judge the 2nd season :twisted: (he's a music critic, and openly gay btw)
(oh, and that guy IS a hunk xsnooty... but he's a daddy for you
)
so, the 1st season became the most successful show in Ukraine with the biggest ratings etc.
Imo, this channel is the best when it comes to Saturday evening slot
They promise even better 2nd season (it will start this autumn) and I believe them
