The show's problems started when they wanted to attract new viewers, it only lead them to lose old ones. The 5 year leap worked because they kept the flavor of the show, but it wasn't fully exploited.
They should've played to their strength a Sukor oriented track without third angle and with lots of action, I think the mission track was a missed opportunity.
If they wanted new viewers then they should've killed off Sukor and made it Anjor vs Ghumli. Their approach meant they lost viewers attached to Sukor and didn't convince enough people that it's really a new show.
Still the show was doing ok and they haven't seen the effect of Suraj's re-entry. It's the channel's bias that's the culprit here.
