"Super Girl" Returns, With New Rules
I am breathing a sigh of relief that one of my favorite shows, Supergirls, has obtained the official government approval for a new 2006 season. Supergirls, is equivalent to American Idols, however it differs in many different ways. Contestants wear similar costumes in each show and voters send in text messages based more on voting blocs of regionalism. For example, if a singer is from Hangzhou, audience members are more likely to vote for their Hangzhou citizen.
This season's permit comes with new rules:
"female participants of the contest are required to be above 18 years old and without any contract with entertainment agencies, barring underage girls who could have entered last year's contest. New opportunities are provided to singers ranking from No.4 to No. 10 in the regional contest, with the introduction of a rule that permit them to enter the finals with enough test message polls from TV audiences. Singers with the least polls from TV audiences can chose rivals on their own during PK screening process."
