The start for the Sunday show is more or less the same as Saturday. Except in this one, Kamal lifts up his finger and convincingly states "We are back with the results from yesterday's show. Based on your votes, one of these <number of> singers will be leaving us today"
Cut to some bright lights flashing and background music.
The band and the judges are in their designated spaces and the three singers take the stage and sing a song together.
Kamal is back: In case you missed what I said earlier, one of these <number of> singers will be leaving us today. Who will it be?!?!?!?!?!"
Cut to some ads.
Back to Kamal: Yes my good people, I have to re-iterate one of these <number of> singers will be leaving us today. Is it going to be your favorite? Or my favorite? Or my mother's favorite? Who knows??"
Kamal looks condescendingly at the contestants and turns back to face the camera with a smirk on his face: "Let's find out......"
Kamal: Contestant X, you sang <song title> and Judge 1 said <comments from Saturday> and Judge 2 said <comments from Saturday> and Judge 3 said <comments from Saturday>. The.....public.....has.....voted.....please....step....on.....to...
..my.....right/left....side......
Repeat the above for all the remaining contestants.
Once all the guys are surrounding him,
Kamal turns to the judges, who are sitting impassively in their seats: So, who do you guys think should be kept on for the next round?
Judge 1: I really can't say. They are all so good.
Judge 2: I really can't say. They are all so good.
Judge 3: I really can't say. They are all so good.
Kamal: If you had the choice of choosing the person who believe should go into the next round, who would it be?
Judge 1: It's not in our place to choose. The public has chosen through voting. I really can't say.
Judge 2: It's not in our place to choose. The public has chosen through voting. I really can't say.
Judge 3: It's not in our place to choose. The public has chosen through voting. I really can't say.
Kamal: If you had voted for a person to stay in the competition, whom would you have voted for?
Judge 1: There is a person I like to see in the next round but I really can't say.
Judge 2: There is a person I like to see in the next round but I really can't say.
Judge 3: There is a person I like to see in the next round but I really can't say.
Kamal finally runs out of witty questions and turns back to the guys who have been patiently standing on the stage.
Kamal: The people on my left have received the highest number of votes and they can step back onto the stage behind us and sit down on the chairs conveniently placed for them.
Rather bizarre scene where the guys hug and kiss and shake hands and stuff.
The guys with the lowest number of votes are hanging around the stage now.
Kamal turns back to the judges and begins his series of witty questions again.
This time, after his gruelling interrogation methods, some of the judges start to crack.
Judge 1: Okay, don't take this personally, you other guys, but I like Contestant X.
Judge 2Okay, don't take this personally, you other guys, but I like Contestant Y.
Judge 3: Okay, don't take this personally, you other guys, but I like Contestant Z..
Kamal seems really happy that he finally got some answers.
Kamal: Contestant X - the....public...has....voted.....and.....according...to....their....response.....you..
..are...going...to...the....next....round...."
Hugs and kisses and stuff ensues.
Cut to some ads.
Back to the show. Incredibly, for a result that should have taken ten minutes, SSS has managed to drag it on for twenty.
Kamal: There two guys left. One will stay one will go. Who will it be? <smirk smirk smirk>
He turns to the judges <oh god, please no, not again!!!> and asks them: Who do you think should stay?
Depending on the judges mood at this point, some give a name and others just dodge the question.
Kamal turns back to the guys: Contestant Y and Contestant Z, the the....public...has....voted.....and.....according...to....their....response.....
.......you.......are......going.....home..."
Kamal gets all motherly and puts his arm around the guy who has been sent off and starts a sermon about the long journey he has taken and the great chap he has been so far. I always expect Kamal to take out a pirith noola and tie it on to the chap's hand by the end of the sermon, before the poor chap sings his final song for the show but strangely that never happens.
Cut to a montage of scenes depicting Mr Going Home's passage to the SSS finals.
Cut to the final song being sung, only it will take some serious effort to understand what is what because fragments of all his previous performances are also injected into the final few minutes, just for good measure.
Cut to a slow motion clip of the remaining guys giving Mr. Going Home a massive group hug.
And there the show ends.
