The reality TV show Anh trai say hi has officially entered the acceleration phase with the second season.
The biggest difference compared to the first season is the appearance of the public voting round, a factor that is creating a wave of controversy but is equally attractive to fans.
According to the new rules of season 2, the audience's votes play a decisive role in deciding the fate of the "brothers".
Specifically, the contestants with the highest number of votes will win a place in the "Best 5" group - the group with the highest possibility of competing for the championship title.
This change has turned the show into not only a talent battle on stage but also a fierce competition for the level of support and influence.
The most notable and controversial point is the mechanism of the voting round. The audience and fans cannot vote for free but must buy the votes for real money.
This makes the Best 5 race a "playground for those with strength", where the result does not depend entirely on performance ability but also the affordability of fandom or even the personal investment of the contestants themselves.
As of the morning of December 3, the voting rankings have witnessed impressive and unchanged numbers.
Negav is leading the vote with more than 1.6 million votes. Following closely behind were Bui Truong Linh (nearly 1.4 million votes), B Ray (1 million votes), CongB (1 million votes) and Vu Cat Tuong (nearly 1 million votes).
Right after the Top 5 is Mason Nguyen with more than 900 thousand votes, creating an interesting "hunting" match.

The difference in voting turnover between contestants is huge. While the Top Top reached the million- votes mark, the names at the bottom of the list such as Jey B, Hai Nam, or Thai Ngan only had votes under 100,000 votes.
This gap clearly reflects the differentiation in fandom power and financial mobilization of each "brother".
The final stage
Notably, entertainment stars who have experience and have a long-standing fan base such as Ngo Kien Huy, Big Daddy, or Krik are in the Top mid-range.
This shows that, despite a large fan base, maintaining a position in a long-term vote-buy race requires a more persistent strategy and financial resources.
The official voting period for the "brothers" will last from November 25 to December 13.
However, to increase the drama and arouse curiosity of the audience, the Organizing Committee has applied a special rule: The voting rankings will stop displaying the specific votes of the contestants from December 9 to December 13.
This rule pushes the race into a mysterious "sprint" stage. In the final days, no one knew exactly where they were or where their opponents were, forcing the contestants and fandoms to focus all their efforts and race in the " blurred" tactics.
This is a smart card to maintain the heat and public interest until the last minute.
