The Four: Battle for Stardom Conspiracy

I was catching up on some of the popular shows on air before re-run seasons start.  I was watching Fox's The Four: Battle for Stardom, and I saw a shocking episode that really upset me. 

The Four: Battle for Stardom is hosted by Sean Combs (Diddy), DJ Khaled, Meghan Trainor, Charlie Walk.  On last week episode, 2 out 3 contestants were unseated.  The moment that shocked me the most was when Meghan Trainor tried to have a secret meeting with her other managers to prevent a challenge from a contestant.  Meghan told her fellow managers, that the challenger is better than her favorite champions, and she didn't want a challenge b/c the champions would lose to the challenger.  I was shocked!

Isn't this show suppose to be about anyone can take your spot if you are not willing to give you best 100%?  Meghan argued that their champions aren't doing well today and had family issues or illnesses that are preventing them from performing at their best.  She said let's not give another contestant a shot b/c she likes the current champions.

Diddy looked at Meghan with a disgusted look, and he told the rest of the managers that the reason for the show is for you to have a competition.  Diddy stated if the champions cannot defend their spot, then they do not deserve the spot.  Meghan was in tears, and she said you know the female challenger will defeat their champions if its not fair to make them compete like this.  Diddy said in the real world and on a job, if you get sick and can't perform then you lose your job and no one will feel sorry for you.  In that moment, all the managers said let the challenger have a chance.  In a minute, the authorization changed the show.

The champion, Zhavia, went head to head with the challenger, Kendyle Paige.  The young champion, Zhavia was sick and she couldn't perform at 100% to defend herself.  The veteran champion, Kendyle took her Zhavia.  It was not even a fair competition.  All four judges awaited the results that Kendyle to won. The world watched as the Zhavia was defeated.  Social Media was in an uproar b/c Zhavia was dethroned. 

There was more controversy that Meghan Trainor tried to prevent the challenge, so that she can protect her favorite Zhavia.  In the real world, that would be nepotism or favoritism not allowing qualified talent to have a chance to have a career.  Diddy did a speech saying "if you deny that woman, Kendyle Paige, a chance to compete, then you are denying her a change to live and make a living for herself.  You better be damn sure you are ready to live with that guilt for not giving Kendyle an opportunity b/c Zhavia is your favorite."

A week later, Zhavia would come back to challenge for a spot in the Final Four.  Zhavia was healthy and gave her all.  She dethroned the young champion Tim Johnson to be named as a Final Four Finalist. Only one will walk away with a recording contract, but we all know who is the favorite here, Zhavia.

Also, Charlie Walk will not be apart of the Finale b/c he is under investigation for sexual harassment as part of the "Me Too" movement.  Seems Charlie Walk was trading sex for opportunities and contracts.  Charlie decided to prevent the controversy around him from effecting the show, so he decided to not attend the Finale...
