i really hated the song choosing aspect here as it for some reason made you more likely to get the song you wanted if you ranked 25th rather than 24th which to me makes no sense

13:33 - Didn’t you mix up Hot and Hip Hop Gentlemen?? It immediately started to play in my brain, but then I thought: “Wait… that is not the banger we are talking about”

The one big critique I have for the Hot performance is not understanding how Teddy does the mic thing.
He doesn’t throw it, he drops it and his hands are moving and catching, but since the mic is HOT he cannot hold it and so it creates this throwing effect.
The way they did it here was literally throwing it side to side and so there was a gap in the rap line delivery…
I don’t have any stand on Yun Seo at this point yet, I am just surprised he grows on me so much.
I have to ask one question/comparison… you said here that with him in the group, they couldn’t do songs like Whiplash, so he would hold the group back, since members like Sangwon and Leo made the cut.
So… why did you not think that about Koki? Since you said last time you think he should have debuted with TNX.
I mean… I do fucking agree. I am jusr curious if we share the same reasoning for this.

Idk what the live audience's environment is like, but so many of these votes i heavily disagree with. Personally i think Nian Boheng deserved more. I saw Zhong Xing in a more positive light as well, i think the free-spirited nature of this performance allowed him to shine a bit more on stage.

I did not like the voting for these groups of performances at all...like the next ep frustrated me to no end. But Nian was so good to me, but idk how it was live but he definitely needed to be appreciated more!
I loved the like Jennie performance and they all did AMAZINGGGG...the only thing that sometimes I felt while watching the performance was that it felt like 5 amazing soloist more than a cohesive group at times!
For zhongxing there's two things imo, one his ego definitely needs work and then also he needs to be able to better adapt to abrupt changes. Cause sadly the c trainees did get the short end of the stick in this show cause they were told there were gonna be two groups apparently, a k group and a c group kind of like Exo-k and exo-m...at least that's how I understood it. And then they suddenly changed, so I feel bad for the trainees who thought they were gonna be on a Chinese show and speak their own language, but then be thrown into k planet and had to adapt so quickly. And I think zhongxing is one of those personalities that doesn't seem to take that change well at alll...which is sad but then take someone like kaiwen who doesn't know Korean but he's still trying with a smile on his face. Just my two cents

I loved the XXL team. Yunseo and Arctic are both so sweet and talented for their ages, Yunseo especially. I def agree with u saying Yunseo is talented for his age. Tho it is kinda sad he gets eliminated in two svs cause of his age (LOUD mostly, but b2p people dont wanna vote for him cause of age which is still understandable).

i always liked zihao in this show but this episode really made me a fan of him he's so good gosh... can't wait to see your reaction to him in the next round
like jennie was so good but i'm kinda miffed that harry june didn't get more screentime especially when he contributed so much to that insane choreo??? XXL was so good too i think yunseo has so much potential to make it HUGE as a kpop idol but he would need the right team to be formed around him

Tbf though, for the "HOT" performance, it was three foreigners in the group, and they weren't familiar with the song. Compared to other songs, I don't really think they had to learn formations like that, which would take a long time to learn.
We still saw them mostly working on the lyrics anyway, with Mnet editing.
