If we had Yurina at #1, then #2, but after certain comments of super-duper-cringey master she kind of faded away to #6
if we had Yeseo being #2 on initial top 9 gave by masters but then through episodes comments about her weren't that impressive... so of course now she is #12
if we had Ruiqi being #4 on initial top 9 gave by masters, and all the time being #6 but then after one evil edit fading to #10 then... she is out of top 9
now to all of that we had Cai Bing who's ranking was 8-7-8, and after evil edit she dropped to #26 like WTF...
through all that poor Yaning is lucky that she was evil edited in 1st episode, thanks to that she had chance to advance, and progress, and build her rank up...
and at the end of the day there is Dayeon, her ranking was seventh between Korean girls, her cell was ranked #9 yet fvck that she is now #2 in top 9...
even Youngeun was in initial top 9 picked by masters, and then her cell ranked 2nd, and her individual ranking within Korean girls was 4th so she didn't have that much boost at all...
and overall you can notice how those who's early mistakes were pointed out / were evil edited early in season had enough time to build a fanbase thanks to it and are in final where if you are evil edited in/after half point of the season then basically you are doomed and your rank downfall is immediate...
