Added 2024-06-20 20:06:48 +0000 UTCI've gotten quite attached to this group of girls at this point. I'm ready for the competition to be over but not ready to say goodbye to any of them lmao what do you mean 2 episodes left?

Anyway, lemme know your thoughts and vibes.
Enjoy!

As usual, I enjoy listening to your thoughts on the show as I rewatch the episode, so thank you for posting these! Since I've already posted most of my thoughts on the episode in the discord, I will make my predictions instead. I think you're right that unfortunately Sujung and Juwon are probably the two who are eliminated next episode. As for the the final groups, I feel pretty confident about Fuko, Jeemin, Seabi, Jiyoon, and Koko being locks to make it baring something crazy happening in this next episode. So I think that last spot is the only one that's a mystery right now. I would say it's most likely between Jungeun and Sarang, and I really dont know who it will be. I am kind of intrigued by Gyuri's rise these last few episodes and I think she does have a chance. Unfortunately, I'm pretty down on the chances for my fav Mai making it and I feel the same about Yuju. I think both are well enough liked by the fans and producers but neither our most people's favorites.

2024-06-24 00:45:04 +0000 UTCsorry to enter the conversation this way but "the physical 100 lady had more screentime than juwon" is giving the same energy as "the ducks in the lake had more screentime than hiroto" during boys planet, and it does not feel good 😭

2024-06-23 23:20:10 +0000 UTCMy only hope for Jungeun is that Korean comments about her are people asking why she was scored low, I'm hoping they panic and vote for her, because their vote is weighed the most 🥲 I'm kinda surprised how obvious some of the favoritism is? I can basically already predict who the two eliminated people will be in the semi finale.... But since I like all the girls, no matter who makes it I'll be both happy and sad.

2024-06-21 12:52:38 +0000 UTCI think this has been the show where I have been the most attached to contestants. Usually, I'll have 1-3 tops but this time I have like 4-5.. I am absolutely in love with KOKO, and so happy she is getting the attention she deserves that girl is a born performer, she kinda reminds me of Lisa a little. Dancers are just different lol Jungeun.... Like WHAT THE F... is going on I am at a loss of words. I can understand her not being top but this is a bit much, it makes it seem like they are sabotaging her on purpose. I do agree with you that I hope this stupid drama that has FINALLY been resolved by her and Jiyoon (her best friend since like episode 1) will ger her some more votes. Koko, Jeemin and Jiyoo are definitely locked in. Until this episode, I was pretty sure Seabi was too but now I'm not so sure. Jengeun, in my opinion, has to debut (I cannot fantom anyone in the industry not wanting her in a group) but I am biased she has been my number 1 since the first episode/performance videos. So that leaves 1 more.. Fuko would in my opinion be the perfect leader and the last puzzle piece but I have been a fan of Mai (don't think she is strong enough for the final lineup) and Sarang is loved by the producers so it could be her as well. So if I go by my lineup these r the roles I'm imagining: 1. Fuko - leader/lead vocal 2. Jiyoon - main vocal 3. Jungeun - main vocal/lead dancer 4. Koko - main dancer/rap 5. Seabi - visual 6. Jeemin - center/lead vocal

2024-06-21 00:41:09 +0000 UTCHighkey frustrated at how attached I am rn to this current lineup of gurlies HGFSVDGHHG- I said boys planet would be the LAST survival show I'd watch, and yet here I am aaaaaaaaa- I am just hoping that somehow, the other girls that don't get to debut from this current lineup manage to debut together or smth hngggg

2024-06-21 00:06:00 +0000 UTCYeah I’m definitely looking forward to the show being done lol. I already felt it last episode but it’s getting more and more draining to watch (just how survival shows are lmao). Considering that jiyoon is basically my one-pick, I’m obviously happy that she’s getting good scores all around, but at the same time I feel bad because I recognize how badly the show is treating a lot of the other girls. It’s also really hard for me because Fuko is another one of my favorites (her and jiyoon have always been a firm top 2 for me), and I fear that the pds don’t want her. It’s making me so anxious bc I desperately need her in the group. Like her and jiyoon cannot be separated. It’s so serious. Alas, there’s not much I can do except vote for them every day. So that’s what I’ll be doing. I just hope it works out in the end.

2024-06-20 23:40:37 +0000 UTCadd jungeun as my 3-pick yeah i'm STRESSED OUT! because it's not like both of them are completely out of the running but they're definitely not the audience or pd picks either

2024-06-20 23:20:02 +0000 UTCas a yuju 1-pick i'm not having a lot of fun i'll tell you that 😭

2024-06-20 23:18:40 +0000 UTClike as a classically trained singer, i get soooo frustrated watching survival shows because even the vocal judges hardly ever appreciate the healthy, stable vocals, and just go for the more "interesting", stylized ones instead. jiyoon vs jungeun is exactly that. they're both great, but they think jungeun's voice is boring because she's doing everything right AHHHHHHH

2024-06-20 21:20:27 +0000 UTCyyyyyep i gotta say i don't personally see the sarang thing but she's very cute looking so the korean audience loves her. also she's talented of course, they all are, but she is noticeably being very pushed lol
onlyonlysun
2024-06-20 21:10:05 +0000 UTCYeah I get that. I love my tall girlies and had a great time watching them but it is a bit like really mnet? Also sarang getting the *big* pd push. I don't hate it bc sarang has really grown on me but it is a bit ?? when she makes a mistake but still gets a higher score than Jungeun who was basically perfect. But ye we move 😅

2024-06-20 21:00:34 +0000 UTCi know :( juwon gets absolutely nothing except reaction shots and they're paying fuko and gyuri dust... meanwhile they clearly want jiyoon, saebi, and koko on the debut team which i'm happy with! it's just... it leaves a bad taste in my mouth
onlyonlysun
2024-06-20 20:47:27 +0000 UTCYeah I expect a certain level of favoritism and agenda pushing in any survival show (especially an mnet one) but this episode really felt like they ramped it up a fair bit and it did not feel good. Someone on reddit said that the physical 100 lady had more screen time than Juwon and I... that's a yikes from me lmao. There were definitely really fun and good moments in this ep and the performances were great, it would just be nice if they were a little less blatant with their favoritism, tho I recognise that is big wishful thinking

2024-06-20 20:38:53 +0000 UTCi think the judges are being very biased against jungeun. yes, she needs to work on her emotive abilities on stage, but she's by far the most competent vocal on the show, and they barely have any praise for her. jiyoon is talented too, but i'm pissed off that she's all they could focus on during their duo performance. same with yuju and koko. also, this has gotta be the most conflicted i've ever been during a survival show final vote... please i want them all to debut together T_T
