Changes from Season 7
[edit]Instead of the normal two audition channels, Live and Online, the 8th season introduced the third channel dubbed the Academic Institutions, where schools or universities could send their student in the name of the institute to participate the audition. 12 contestants who were selected by the judging panel will be eligible to compete in the house immediately without having to audition again with the participants from live and Online channels, and will receive their own V number to use in the competition. As a results, the number of contestants participated season 8 increase from the normal 12 finalists into 24 finalists, when combined with 12 contestants selected from the Live and Online Audition participants, made season 8 having the highest number of contestants with the V number for the competition in the show's history. The number of 24 contestants with the V number was after repeated on season 10 (2013). However, the judging panel judged that only 9 Academic-Institutions audition participants were qualified to attend the competition as a finalist, resulting in the number of the finalists from the Live and Online audition increased from 12 to 15 contestants.
However, after the season was premiered, it was announced that the main finalists of season 8 would still consists of 12 contestants, similar to season 4 (2007) and season 5 (2008) where the starting number of the seasons' finalists had more than twelve as well. Which means the 24 finalists had to compete for the final 12 spot in the first three weeks of the season. In which, each weeks of the first three weeks, four contestants who received the fewest popular votes, two from male side and two from female side, will be eliminated until there will be only 12 contestants left in the competition, after that, the main competition of the final 12 will begin.
