In the beginning round, open auditions are held at four cities across Afghanistan: Kabul, Herat, Kandahar, and a fourth city which alternates every season (season one, the Tora Bora mountain range; season two, Badakhshan; season three, Ghor). Contestants have been known to trek over three hundred miles across minefields, glaciers, and poppy fields to reach one of the four cities in time. The three judges of the show, who rotate every round out of a pool of twelve, will select twelve contestants from each city to advance to the national round. These candidates are given an all-expenses paid trip to Kabul in a disused T-80 Russian tank, at which point the show truly begins.

Contestants have been known to trek over three hundred miles across minefields, glaciers, and poppy fields to reach one of the four cities in time.

These candidates are given an all-expenses paid trip to Kabul in a disused T-80 Russian tank, at which point the show truly begins. Once auditions are complete, the forty-eight contestants are reduced over the course of two weeks to a field of twelve based on skills in completing obstacle courses, crawling over minefields, surviving gunfire, shooting infidels, and knowledge of the Koran. At this point the twelve remaining competitors begin the rounds the people of Afghanistan have been waiting for - the singing and dancing. Each week viewers vote by telephone or smoke signal for their favorite contestant, and the contestant with the lowest votes is eliminated and shot.
