1. 30-40 contestants join a show
2. there is a draw where everyone one by one goes to the vase and picks out a ball, inside the ball is a group name: A, B, C, D, E, F
this way we have selected teams, they expect to be battling each other on stage, but there is a plot twist
3. suddenly big door opens and real-life full group comes out from it, for example: Everglow or Dreamcatcher etc. let's name them "original" group to short things out
4. and the task of contestants is to beat the full group in stage performances
so we have like 6 groups + that one original full group
at the end of round one the group with smallest number of points/worst performance is eliminated
but judges/mentors are able to save 1-2 best performers from that eliminated 'group'
5. next plot twist can be something like:
- in round 2 there is another draw
- in round 3 if contestants manage to outpoint original group in a way that original group ranks lower than top 3 then original group is kicked out of show
what do you guys think? wouldn't this be cool and something new and fresh?
