Wow I like this performance a lot. It's very good and I like the vocals of Jeong Jiyoon and Fu Yaning. Many good vocals compared to the other groups.

Episode 4 down.
Not really happy with the editing this episode. They decided to only focus on one girl in almost every performance. Not really fair specially when they made every group have 9 girls. Also not a fan of how they always ask the questions to the girls before the performance to set up some kind of forced rivalry or drama. Most of the girls clearly don't have that personality and just awkwardly do a very half-hearted diss.
Watching the individual cams before the full performance definitely changed how I viewed the episode as a whole. Hard thing to balance the micro-analysis you can do with the solo cam compared to the few snippets you get of each girl on the full group stage. On one side it's slightly unfair to the girls because they won't be put under a microscope like that once they debut, but on the other side the benefit of both winning the points multiplier and being selected to the final debuting team are huge so the more skilled girls deserve to have a chance to show how good they are even if that isn't the only or the main point fans use to vote. As a result the aired episode didn't really changed much how I felt about the girls' performance. I ended up more focused on how they edited the episode and what narrative they were trying to push.
Interestingly they didn't show either of the collisions from either Fiesta team. Team Butterfly was very obvious on the individual cams, but on the show it's hard to see. Maybe the judges didn't notice live or it was only on the recording and not on the performance for the show. Either way it's as if it never happened. The editing was entirely on Ito Miyu. I like her so it's bitter-sweet. Her cell was on elimination range but I fear that won't change even with the spotlight considering neither Suh Jimin or Wang Qiuru did amazing on this performance and Miyu herself wasn't able to overcome the challenge the show highlighted her for. I think she definitely improved from the audition performance but still quite rough singing and dancing. She could be a decent sub-vocal in time. Needs to work on her expressions though, but you could attribute that to being worried about the high notes. Surprised they didn't highlight Bahiyyih at all. Wonder if they are trying to avoid the fan wars or just saving it for a push next mission since she is easily going to stay in the show. She performed well overall but had a awkward expressions. Nancy I thought did well considering how she did on her audition performance. Danced well, had good expressions and pull off her parts well. Shihona danced well and had good expressions but breathing issues and went off-pitch singing. Jimin danced well. Some good, some bad expressions. Sang well enough a few breathing issues. Qiuru had a lot of trouble singing, but danced well. Had too many blank expressions but could also be out of concern. Yubin did well overall just a few awkward expressions. Same thing with Shuyun but a little weaker dancing. Kyara's expressions were pretty weak but she did well otherwise. No one really stood out to me in this performance. They did well enough, but nothing spectacular and a few mistakes. I wish they had shown the trainers comments on Bahiyyih and Nancy at least because I thought they did well. They showed the trainers react to Shihona and Qiuru mistakes but no comments.
Team Crown they decided to make all about Xingqiao. The run in with Reina was off camera on the aired version so I can't tell if it happened on that performance or a different performance just to record the individual cams. I thought she did a fine job though. A few breathing mistakes, a few awkward looking dancing moves and decent expressions. Way more stable than the audition. They also did a very slight comparison between Miyu and Sunwoo because they focused so much on her being the main vocal. Sunwoo was better but I also thought she made a few mistakes. She went off-pitch on a high note and sounded off after that. Danced well, but had uneven expressions. Wingchi did a good job all around. Nagomi had a few breathing issues singing. Also fluctuated her expressions, but danced well. Yeyoung did well dancing and singing but needs to work on being more expressive. Xinwei also improved from her audition, but still needs work. Lacked a bit of energy dancing, a bit off singing and some blank expressions. Reina sang well but still felt she overdid her expressions and had too much power on her dance. Yeseo did well overall. Mashiro also did well, but for some reason she had worse expressions during her part. Maybe she was focusing too much on singing. I also thought no one stood out in this performance but the overall level was slightly higher than the other team.
Team Oh My God they focused on Rayeon. She sang well for the most part, just the missed high note. Maybe because of that and her having trouble leading the girls she was virtually expressionless. Danced well too though. Min did well, had 1 mistake singing when she lost her breath, and dropped her expression a few times. Qiao also did well just needed more work on her expressions. As did Wenmeixiu with better expressions. Her voice is still limited but she managed her small part well. Fuka also did well except for her expressions. Haeun struggled a lot. Her dancing was shaky, didn't really have great expressions and made quite a few mistakes singing. Szeching danced well, but had awkward expressions and needs to project her voice better. Kanno Miyu managed her part well, did decent job dancing but had almost no expressions. Fuko had a few breathing problems and let her expressions go a few times. Another team with no stand out performer, and also were a step lower in quality.
Team Our Season they decided to focus on Bora and do the leader and main vocal rivalry. I think she did a great job with everything. Sang great, danced well and had good expressions. Very solid performance by Bora. They kept praising Sion's beauty, and she really is a pretty kid. She danced well but had a few awkward expressions. Sang fine a little bit aery in parts. Chang Ching did well with everything except singing. Had a few off-pitch moments. Hina's rap wasn't great. She also looked a bit awkward dancing and her expressions was lacking. Hyewon is also very raw skills wise. She has a nice voice but needs to project it more. Wasn't too expressive and needs to clean up her dancing a little bit. Jiao did well, but also could do a better job projecting her voice. Manami had some good some bad points. Sang well for the most part but couldn't hold a note at one point. Had good expressions but at times they fell too weak. Luofei did well except for her expressions. Same with Hana. Bora stood out in this performance, but otherwise both teams had a very similar level imo.
They kind of focused on the An Jeongmin, Wang Yale and Fujimoto Ayaka cell on team Charismask. With a bit of more favorable light on Jeongmin leadership despite Dana being the leader. They gave the girls a very favorable edit despite their performance being the weakest imo. I don't blame the girls though. I think this was a pretty bad pick by the producers. It was clear none of the girls matched or had any idea how to interpret this song. I get why they wanted to do EBS but they should at least pick concepts the girls can pull off. Jeongmin performed well but didn't really express the song. They gave Yale a slight redemption edit after the trailer focus, but I thought she still didn't look that into the performance. Just seems like a concept completely out of her comfort zone. Ayaka sang well enough but her dance and expressions didn't match the energy of the song. Same thing with Dana. Chenhan was the closest to matching the concept of the song. Still her limited dancing skills were apparent and sometimes she dropped her expressions. Yuna had good energy and decent expressions, but still had a few moves not look right. Also a few breathing issues. Hyerin lacked energy and her rap wasn't great. Had good expressions at least. Yuhan sang well, but was expressionless and lost energy as the song went on. Aratake Rinka improved from her audition but still has a long way to go. Her dancing was stiff, her expressions weren't there and her rap wasn't great. I don't really get the praise they gave this team. I'm sure the girls tried their best but this just wasn't a good fit. Maybe they felt bad for the song selection and were more lenient or the PDs tried to make them look better to avoid a drop in interest or criticism towards the show. I wish they had picked a song that better fit the girls.
Seems like they were right to focus on Myah for team Q-teen. Even before the show aired she had a lot more views than her screen time would suggest. I think this concept is way easier for the girls to get and they did well. The energetic peppy vibe was perfect for some girls. This is one of the songs that overdoing your expressions or dance moves wouldn't be such a bad thing. I think Myah did pretty well all things considered. Her voice is still a bit amateurish, but she didn't make any mistakes. She danced well and had some good expressions. I thought she had some times she went blank too so there is some consistency she needs to work but she is a cute kid that draws attention which matches well with the song. Yeeun is in a similar place. Her voice still sounds amateurish but her cute image matches well. She did a good job with the dance and her expressions. Shiqi was more of a mix bag. Something happened to her individual camera so they did a patchwork deal for her with some real bad quality shots. She has a nice voice and sings well but the high note wasn't great and she kind of started sounding off after it. Her expressions were inconsistent with some good some blank. She danced well though. Ruan did a good job overall. Her expressions fluctuated a bit, but were mostly good. Zige did pretty well throughout as did Yume. I don't quite agree with their take on Yizhou. I think she had a couple awkward dancing moves, did ok on her parts but was up and down with her expressions. For the most part the girls all fit this concept well.
Team Red Moon is the only one they gave more girls some attention. The lead up was all about the Dayeon part distribution drama, but after they showed the judges comment on more than one girl at least. The part distribution issues is why I said I wanted more trainer involvement with the girls. I think Yaning went for what was the fairest ways in her mind, but that doesn't always makes for the best result for the team. I get why Dayeon didn't push more against the group when she lost her part. She seems like a very shy kid and that group is filled with strong personalities that would be intimidating for her to confront. At the same time I agree that it was something she should have brought up within the group and not to the trainers. In the end they redistributed the parts without much issues and I think it was for the better of their overall performance. As with all the other performances my mind didn't change much with the full performance. The teased synchronization issue wasn't even in the episode in typical Mnet baiting fashion. The trainers brought up something I mentioned before that I thought Dayeon and Yaning overdid their expressions. They added Ruiqi too, which I didn't see but also don't argue too much against. What I do disagree with is their reasoning. I don't agree it's because they have strong feature I think it's because it doesn't match the song. If they had the same expressions on Growl for instance I think it would fit, but this song isn't an aggressive fierce mood, it's more of a seductive defiant mood. Dayeon danced well and sang well, just needed to tone down her looks. Ruowei did well, just got overshadowed by the rest of the group. Same with Rei, she did even better than Ruowei but this team was just too strong and other people did better than her. If she had the same level of performance on other teams she would be the best performer on them. Suyeon did very well too, got the mood of the song down to a t. Yaning same as Dayeon sang and danced very well just needed less aggressive look. I was happy they took the time to show praise for Shana. To me she was one of the best in the entire show. Surprised they didn't do the same for Jiyoon though. I thought both of them interpreted the song perfectly. Ruiqi did well overall too. Hikaru, as I've said before, didn't quite express the song properly. She danced and sang well but her expressions came off more blank than what the song requires. You could see she was trying but this concept isn't quite in her wheel house.
I don't agree at all with the trainers on this one. I think this was an easy win for team Red Moon. Q-teen did well but no on e on the team did as well as Shana and Jiyoon and overall the only real mistakes Red Moon had was not matching the right expression of the song. Q-teen had more mistakes and more people with expression issues and should not have won. I don't agree on grading on a curve here because we are not trying to find trainees that will spend time preparing before debuting. You are looking for a group to debut asap so current skill should be the main point for the trainers to give the benefit to. I felt the same way when they said they didn't give Kim Dayeon a top 9 spot. You really shouldn't be doing arbitrary decisions against your skill judgement. This is exactly why people wanted fan voting to be the only factor on audition shows. The judges are always way too biased for weird reasons.
The Eve team should have won it all, but since they didn't I think YoY team 1 was the next best team. The reward of performing on M Countdown is a bit weird. For some girls it's a dream come true, and considering some of these girls will be eliminated after this it's a huge deal. But for others it's either bitter sweet, in the case of the girls from groups that disbanded, or not a huge deal, in the case of girls on active groups that performing on Mcountdown is just another day.
Sunmi and Tiffany's message at the end is pretty standard at this point. I still think Jang Geun Suk delivered it the best though. Even if you don't make it here it isn't the end. Everyone has their own path in life so don't look at this as a last opportunity but just another valuable experience in your life.
Now looking at who won the benefit and if that is going to help them. The cells that were in elimination range and received the benefit are Sion cell, Yunji cell, Yeeun cell, Sunwoo cell, Yeongyung cell, Hyerim cell and Bora cell. If we assume they maintained their voting rate and you take into account the points per day I think only Bora cell has a chance to be saved. Even with triple points for a day Yunji and Yeeun cell are too far, and not popular enough to make it to 17. After Bora cell, Hyerim is the next closest to 17th, but still had almost half the points Bora cell had. Bora herself got a bit of attention and that along with double points for the last day might be enough to save them even if the rest of her cell didn't get much of a push. Even though I thought Xia Yan was among the best performers this mission it doesn't seem to have changed her popularity much so I also don't see Yeongyung cell making a push. Sunwoo got a bit of attention but not much. Maybe if they voted for her every day of the week after the individual cam, but I would imagine they'd be more vocal and inflate her youtube views more if that were the case. It's hard figuring out who drops out. Unless a lot changed in the voting this week I think there is a chance even with the benefit Bora team doesn't make it. I can see people voting for Sein cell for memes and to support Wenzhe, but they are probably the most likely to drop out if anyone does drop. I think the ranking among top 17 will change a lot because of the benefits, but don't see many cell at risk of dropping out of top 17. Myah cell should go up a bit for the popularity she gained and the triple points. Yujin cell will probably stay at 1 since they got the benefit and are still popular. Same for Youngeun cell. Yeseo cell might overtake Jiyoon cell because of the benefit. But I can also see no change there because Jiyoon gaining a bit of popularity, Hikaru and Ruiqi remaining popular with international fans and the pushback for Yeseo. Dayeon cell might go down a bit. No one in it gained a lot of popularity and they missed out on the benefit. Chaeyun cell might go down. Ririka got a little bit of popularity with the Koreans, but I don't know if it will be enough without the benefit and Cheukying and Chaeyun popularity largely reminas the same. If it weren't for the benefit I could see Hyewon cell losing rank but the double points should help them. I have no idea how people are reacting to You Dayeon stuff. My guess is people that voted for that cell before won't have changed so even without the benefit I don't expect them to drop but they are on the watchlist. All in all I don't foresee much changing because of the benefit as far as elimination goes. I think it will be more relevant for individual voting and the top 9. My guess is the benefit for top 9 is first choice on next mission song and position which is a huge deal considering how many girls get stuck with positions they can't perform or songs they don't fit in.
If I predict Bora team getting in and Sein team being eliminated the master picks get a bit harder. You have Hyerim, Jia, Seungeun, Rayeon, Sunwoo and Yubin and you can only save one. My personal pick would be Hyerim but I think the masters will pick Rayeon. C-group would be Xia Yan, Yizhou, Shiqi and Tzulin. I would save Xia Yan based on what they've done so far. I think the masters will save Yizhou, maybe Wenzhe if they feel bad for her cell. J-group there's Ando Rinka, Hayashi Fuko, Oki Fuka, Hiyajo Nagomi, Murakami Yume and Kitajima Yuna. I would save Ando Rinka. Not sure who the masters would save. They haven't really showed much favoritism to many of the J-group girls. Maybe Nagomi.
At this point the only lock I see is Yujin. She is popular both internationally and in Korea so unless some huge voting benefit makes 9 girls jump her I doubt she drops from the final group. Everyone else I can see the tides changing depending on editing and performance. International fans and the PD like Cai Bing, but I don't know how much Korea likes her and their votes were worth 5 times international votes because of the ratio. If Korea isn't behind her I can see her falling behind. Xiaoting and Yurina are popular in both sides of the voting and their ship is getting some attention. I would say they are close to locks being liked by everyone including the PD, but I don't think they are immune to some pretty hard public shift of perception with some evil editing and poor performance. They are both talented enough, but neither is flawless. Hikaru and Ruiqi seem like another case of popular internationally but not as much in Korea. They are still somewhat popular, but I can see other girls overtaking them when the cell format is gone and people have to pick only 1 girl to vote and the Korean votes become super important. Yeseo I can see falling short because half the people aren't buying into the attention she is getting. Mashiro I feel runs the risk of being one of those girls everyone likes but when it becomes only 1 vote she doesn't have enough solo fans who would support her alone. Same thing with Youngeun. I think there is a chance Myah shoots up. She has gotten some traction and I feel like the show is gonna continue pushing her. I still feel like the group is gonna end up something like 5K, 3C and 1J. Maybe even 6K, 2C and 1J. The results of this first elimination are gonna be very interesting and specially the individual votes for top 9.
My way too early prediction for the final group just for fun in no particular order is: Yujin, Xiaoting, Yurina, Bahiyyih, Chaehyun, Myah, Ruiqi, Hikaru and Doah.
Watching the individual cams before the full performance definitely changed how I viewed the episode as a whole. Hard thing to balance the micro-analysis you can do with the solo cam compared to the few snippets you get of each girl on the full group stage.

Nancy I thought did well considering how she did on her audition performance. Danced well, had good expressions and pull off her parts well. Shihona danced well and had good expressions but breathing issues and went off-pitch singing. Jimin danced well. Some good, some bad expressions. Sang well enough a few breathing issues. Qiuru had a lot of trouble singing, but danced well. Had too many blank expressions but could also be out of concern. Yubin did well overall just a few awkward expressions.

Now looking at who won the benefit and if that is going to help them. The cells that were in elimination range and received the benefit are Sion cell, Yunji cell, Yeeun cell, Sunwoo cell, Yeongyung cell, Hyerim cell and Bora cell. If we assume they maintained their voting rate and you take into account the points per day I think only Bora cell has a chance to be saved. Even with triple points for a day Yunji and Yeeun cell are too far, and not popular enough to make it to 17. After Bora cell, Hyerim is the next closest to 17th, but still had almost half the points Bora cell had. Bora herself got a bit of attention and that along with double points for the last day might be enough to save them even if the rest of her cell didn't get much of a push. Even though I thought Xia Yan was among the best performers this mission it doesn't seem to have changed her popularity much so I also don't see Yeongyung cell making a push. Sunwoo got a bit of attention but not much. Maybe if they voted for her every day of the week after the individual cam, but I would imagine they'd be more vocal and inflate her youtube views more if that were the case. It's hard figuring out who drops out. Unless a lot changed in the voting this week I think there is a chance even with the benefit Bora team doesn't make it. I can see people voting for Sein cell for memes and to support Wenzhe, but they are probably the most likely to drop out if anyone does drop. I think the ranking among top 17 will change a lot because of the benefits, but don't see many cell at risk of dropping out of top 17. Myah cell should go up a bit for the popularity she gained and the triple points. Yujin cell will probably stay at 1 since they got the benefit and are still popular. Same for Youngeun cell. Yeseo cell might overtake Jiyoon cell because of the benefit. But I can also see no change there because Jiyoon gaining a bit of popularity, Hikaru and Ruiqi remaining popular with international fans and the pushback for Yeseo. Dayeon cell might go down a bit. No one in it gained a lot of popularity and they missed out on the benefit. Chaeyun cell might go down. Ririka got a little bit of popularity with the Koreans, but I don't know if it will be enough without the benefit and Cheukying and Chaeyun popularity largely reminas the same. If it weren't for the benefit I could see Hyewon cell losing rank but the double points should help them. I have no idea how people are reacting to You Dayeon stuff. My guess is people that voted for that cell before won't have changed so even without the benefit I don't expect them to drop but they are on the watchlist. All in all I don't foresee much changing because of the benefit as far as elimination goes. I think it will be more relevant for individual voting and the top 9. My guess is the benefit for top 9 is first choice on next mission song and position which is a huge deal considering how many girls get stuck with positions they can't perform or songs they don't fit in.
If I predict Bora team getting in and Sein team being eliminated the master picks get a bit harder. You have Hyerim, Jia, Seungeun, Rayeon, Sunwoo and Yubin and you can only save one. My personal pick would be Hyerim but I think the masters will pick Rayeon. C-group would be Xia Yan, Yizhou, Shiqi and Tzulin. I would save Xia Yan based on what they've done so far. I think the masters will save Yizhou, maybe Wenzhe if they feel bad for her cell. J-group there's Ando Rinka, Hayashi Fuko, Oki Fuka, Hiyajo Nagomi, Murakami Yume and Kitajima Yuna. I would save Ando Rinka. Not sure who the masters would save. They haven't really showed much favoritism to many of the J-group girls. Maybe Nagomi.
At this point the only lock I see is Yujin. She is popular both internationally and in Korea so unless some huge voting benefit makes 9 girls jump her I doubt she drops from the final group. Everyone else I can see the tides changing depending on editing and performance. International fans and the PD like Cai Bing, but I don't know how much Korea likes her and their votes were worth 5 times international votes because of the ratio. If Korea isn't behind her I can see her falling behind. Xiaoting and Yurina are popular in both sides of the voting and their ship is getting some attention. I would say they are close to locks being liked by everyone including the PD, but I don't think they are immune to some pretty hard public shift of perception with some evil editing and poor performance. They are both talented enough, but neither is flawless. Hikaru and Ruiqi seem like another case of popular internationally but not as much in Korea. They are still somewhat popular, but I can see other girls overtaking them when the cell format is gone and people have to pick only 1 girl to vote and the Korean votes become super important. Yeseo I can see falling short because half the people aren't buying into the attention she is getting. Mashiro I feel runs the risk of being one of those girls everyone likes but when it becomes only 1 vote she doesn't have enough solo fans who would support her alone. Same thing with Youngeun. I think there is a chance Myah shoots up. She has gotten some traction and I feel like the show is gonna continue pushing her. I still feel like the group is gonna end up something like 5K, 3C and 1J. Maybe even 6K, 2C and 1J. The results of this first elimination are gonna be very interesting and specially the individual votes for top 9.
My way too early prediction for the final group just for fun in no particular order is: Yujin, Xiaoting, Yurina, Bahiyyih, Chaehyun, Myah, Ruiqi, Hikaru and Doah.

Spoilers ahead, for episode 5
I think Yeseo, Mashiro, Myah, Yurina, Xiaoting, Ruiqi will be part of the final group unless big surprise or a twist (personal bet). Not sure about all the others like Yujin, Cai Bing, Ezaki, Doah, Jiwon, Bora, Chaehyun, etc.
- You Dayeon being eliminated was quite a surprise. Reminds me how Heo Yunjin got eliminated on P48.
- Wen Zhe got saved, I'm glad for her. Her cell was all or nothing, people loved her but hated Sein so people weren't willing to vote for them.
- Bora barely made it thanks to her benefit. All Cherry Bullet members made it.
- On the other hand for Fanatics only Rayeon didn't make it. She will be back doing her YT live I believe. At least she got some screentimes on the show.
- Yurina and Xiaoting are really popular I never knew
- The twins got separated, not surprising but still sad

Episode 5 down.
Not much going except for the results. A very small snippet of the girls and their dorm life. A gift/letter exchange that looked a bit forced for some lol. The fashion show I kind of wished it was better done and had a bit more focus. It was honestly a great opportunity to showcase the girls personalities that they missed. The small clips of the girls running around, hurrying makeup and hair, putting together an outfit just reminded me how much I miss silly idol game shows. Having several groups together doing silly stuff just for fun is such a entertaining thing to watch for me. It's a shame it gets terrible ratings and Koreans don't wanna watch that anymore. I like the youtube shows most groups do nowadays, the members are more comfortable and able to be themselves, but it does lack the interaction between several groups and some more creative games. It's a shame stuff like Invincible Youth just doesn't exist anymore.
The ratings were the highest so far. Still not to the level of the produce series. Seems like drama and results are truly what Koreans want.
As for the results. Nothing too surprising in the cell rankings. Bora and Jia cell managed to make it in and You Dayeon and Sein cell dropped out. They didn't reveal the votes for the eliminated cells so we can't really say for sure if the benefit is what saved Bora's cell, but I don't think it's too out of the realm of possibility. Jia cell making it in even without the benefit is probably all do to Jia killing HYLT. Dayeon cell dropping out makes me feel bad for her honestly. As I said before she strikes me as a very shy kid and I don't think she deserves the hate she got just for being bad at communication. It's a shame because she is a good performer and so is Rei her cell partner. Ruowei was pretty decent herself even if not at the same level. Wenzhe cell dropping out isn't surprising too. Even if they kept the pace of votes it wouldn't be enough.
Even with the benefits top 4 didn't change. Sure 3 out of the 4 won their mission but even then I imagined at least 1 position would have changed. Ruiqi and Hikaru remain more popular internationally then in Korea. Their cell got the 5th most votes in Korea but was 3rd internationally. The gaps of votes between cells is also very high, which is why the benefit didn't change much of the rankings. It's interesting seeing the difference in the rankings between the Korean and international votes. Yeseo and Chaehyun cell would overtake Ruiqi cell by Korean votes. Kim Dayeon cell would be 1 spot higher above Suyeon cell. Chaeyun cell would jump to 10 from 13. Jia cell would move one position up over Bora cell. If you look at international votes though Doah and Bahiyyih cell would drop Chaehyun cell 2 spots. Dayeon cell would drop 4 spots. Jiwon and Myah cell would flip. Bora cell would shoot up 4 spots. Chaeyun cell would drop all the way to the bottom. Jia cell would move up a couple spots.
The planet pass trainees were always going to be hard to chose. Too many girls that had more to show deserved it. I wanted Hyerim to get it and am happy she did but wouldn't complain if they gave it to You Dayeon, Seungeun, Sunwoo, Rayeon, Yubin, Dana or Hyerin. Given how the trainers reacted to Dayeon asking for a new part when they asked if anyone wanted to I don't think her chances were great, but talent wise she more than fits the bill. I could even be convinced if Joung Min, Yunji or Sion were given it. The C-group pass feels a bit like the trainers pitying Wenzhe for the cell system and her cell. She is talented enough, but I felt like far and away the most talented eliminated from this group was Xia Yan. I think Ruowei, Yuling, Tzuling, Qiao, Wingchi, Shiqi, Yizhou and Chang Ching all could have equal claim as Wenzhe. With J-group I think the trainers chose someone whose image best fits their image of what the P999 girl group will be. Ruan is one of the more raw kids from J-group. She did well enough on Pretty U but not as talented or at least skilled at the moment as Rei, Ando Rinka or Yume. I think it's a huge shame the show never highlighted Rinka even though she absolutely killed HYLT. Unless they majorly corrected her singing in post-production and her live singing was terrible this was a huge oversight by the masters or the editors whoever failed to recognize her performance.
Now the top 9 was very surprising and borderline suspicious. Yujin not being 1 smells a lot like rigging. You telling me she got 1st in cell voting but not on individual voting? Even if you say that maybe people voted for her cell as a 3rd option when they had to vote for someone after picking their top 2 why wouldn't they have done the same for the individual voting. Very strange. Sure Cai Bing seems to be very popular and boosted their cell, and May has a small following, but you are telling me they beat the cell with Yurina, Xiaoting and Youngeun, literally 1st and 2nd overall, and 4th in K-group but didn't have enough votes to be 1st? Either the individual votes are messed up or the cell votes are messed up. Youngeun cell should be 1st for the individual votes to make any sense. A lot of very specific stuff has to have happened for the results to be as they are without manipulation. Anyway I won't dwell on it too much, but something doesn't add up.
Bahiyyih out of top 9 is also very surprising. Looks like the pace of her votes lost steam instead of gaining.
I was sure Yujin was an absolute lock for the final group, but this result gives me pause. I still think she will be in the final group, but wouldn't call it a lock anymore. I don't think anyone is a lock now. There is a big gap even within top 9 of votes so I think you can expect about 6 girls to be in the final group that are in this top 9, but I can see any one of them dropping out for one reason or another considering how much more weight the Korean votes have. If the Koreans stop voting for someone for whatever reason there is a chance she drops out of the final group. My final group prediction will virtually remain the same. Yujin, Yurina, Xiaoting, Ruiqi and Hikaru are the most likely to be in the group. I wasn't expecting Mashiro to get so many votes but it looks like she is in this group of girls as far as likelihood of debuting goes. I wasn't expecting Cai Bing to be this popular too, but she also figures around the same just very slightly lower. I still don't trust Yeseo to make it to the end. She is the start of the big drop off for international votes and even though she has more Korean votes than Ruiqi the difference is not big enough that any evil editing or angel editing for another girl can easily catapult someone over her. Chaehyun has quite a decent popularity in Korea but her international popularity is around the precarious Yeseo level. I put Myah in as my dark horse last time and I have a feeling Mnet is gonna continue focusing on her and editing makes such a huge difference on popularity. I also put Doah and Bahiyyih in before because I wasn't sure about how popular some of the ancillary girls in the top cells were, but this voting result gives me a clearer vision on that. So my new prediction is Yujin, Yurina, Xiaoting, Ruiqi, Hikaru, Mashiro, Cai Bing, Chaehyun and Myah. A weirdly 3-3-3 spread. I will keep Myah as my dark horse because where there is smoke there is fire, Mnet fell in love with the girl. Way more boring than my first prediction with basically only 1 non top 9 girl in it. Actually it is so boring I wanna do a full non top 9 prediction just because. I'm gonna say Bora, Hyewon, Jeongmin, Jiyoon, Shana, Yaning, Jiao, Moana and Youngeun. Doing that prediction actually made me think how many side groups and concepts you could do that would be fun and interesting performances.
Anyhow they teased the position mission and Yurina struggling in what looks like a vocal group. Again I won't bite on Mnet teaser baiting. Just wait and see what actually is shown on the episode. Interesting group division. Looks like it's 3 groups of 6, my guess is dance teams, 6 groups of 3, maybe vocal groups, and 9 groups of 2, which is the weirdest one because if it's the rap groups that is way too many rap position. They divided it to be 18 girls total in every separate grouping. Looking at the girls that are left I can only see 9 rappers. A always I think they have way too many rap positions and I can already see girls that have no idea how to rap being stuck in it. Also making it 9 duos seems way too overkill. that's way too many performances and they are probably gonna cut a lot of it out of the episode. Unless they throw a monkey wrench in the typical format of the produce series I'm not too happy with this distribution of teams.
Oh yeah almost forgot about the awards thing. Always a fun silly thing that I like because it showcases more of the girls personalities. Who they vote for and for what reasons are always way more insight into their actual personalities than any edit the show does about them during training and the performance. A bit surprised Xiaoting won prettiest. She is a pretty kid, but there a lot of pretty kids on the show and I imagined other girls would get more votes than her. Personally I would pick either Jiwon, Xinyu or Sion. Yale happy that she lost was hilarious.
Audition shows are always heartbreaking, specially Mnet ones that are super brutal and eliminate in troves. I like the stages and performances they allow us to watch. Finding hidden gems, new takes on known concepts and how stage presence and personality changes so much of a song. I think what gets lost in it is exactly why people care about groups. It's the members and their personalities. They focus so much on talent and drama that they let go of the most important part, the people that make the group. It always saddens me when the production crew ignores the human side of the contestants and portray them as mere tools for views. I just hope no matter what happens in the show, if someone got eliminated or not, for one reason or another, that people just respect the girls and don't harrass anyone.
The ratings were the highest so far. Still not to the level of the produce series. Seems like drama and results are truly what Koreans want.
