Is so called Producers/Labels pick just an easy way to pick trainees in survival show?

What do you guys think?

Did they started doing it just to 'dodge' potential rigging scandals?

We see it more often now, that at this point soon we might be in situation that the whole 'voting' will be just to allow few people to stay a bit longer but then at the end of the day it will be everywhere like in I-LAND or R U Next, that most contestants are selected just by judges/mentors/producers, or however/whatever they are called

then when presenting new show line up instead of survival show, shouldn't they write scripted survival show? lol

Because its legal to do it that way, and illegal to do it how Produce did it.

After all, JYP picked his own team in Twice through Sixteen and so on.

So did YG for Baemon and so on.

And plenty others.

In my opinion, I would rather trust people in the industry that have been already vetted as pro's instead of x, y, z sitting on their couch with a phone.

the problem tho is other side of story? then why just after day of voting post something like this? Revealing some spots, it's like hidden manipulation, a mind f... to show Koreans 'hey Yeeun is 8 so you need to vote for her, understand?'

in same time it's like showing 'hey Sujung is safe in, so you don't need to vote for her'.

but what purpose does it have? especially when this group will probably have just 6 members

another thing is what happened in R U Next when they've skipped girls which ranked high and should be in group like Bang Jeemin who again is now sadly battling for survival in I-LAND 2

uh oh and the biggest and worst thing is that it isn't revealed from the start how many "picks" will label make/have, it's basically belittling viewers and fans in a way "yeah fvckers vote how much you want, it doesn't matter, because in final episode we will say that LABEL PICKS 4, 5, or even 6 trainees"

or they could pick 9, they said 6 though as initial choice.

The idea with part 1 and part 2 is to split them. 6 chosen by them, 6 chosen by us.

Since you mentioned Jeemin, I do feel bad for her. But she was edited to look like she's not trying hard.

Doubt it, since she knows how these shows work.

Jiwon I really feel bad about, that kid tried really hard.

well as it will be group managed by WAKEONE and if really Kep1er talks collapse then 9 is an option but I think it will be more Enha style 6 top + 1 with most fanvotes

in same time we've already had 6 episodes and I think that next week will be a filler episode in which we will still see all 20 girls there might be some variety show elements + preparation for next stage or some healing camp like it was in previous survivals
