It's funny how Xiaoting was literally #1 or #2 in the entire show up to now, but once people had to vote with their hearts and not their mouths look how she ended up.
#16 for Koreans
#14 for ifans
This just means the loud support for her was just that, hot air. People paid lipservice but the reality is that she failed to capture the hearts of enough Koreans and even non-Koreans (including Chinese) for her to rank this low when the votes actually mattered. She was the ultimate "C-group filler option". They say she's pretty, talented, has stage presence, but is clearly missing the it-factor. And yes, a lot of people feel that despite her good qualities she is putting a facade, and her visual isn't that captivating (there were comments about her looking like a frog or some Indian king).
Just goes to show, being genuine is the way to go. And unfortunately Xiaoting will suffer from this. I don't hate her, but since the beginning I knew the 'huge' support for her was a giant paper tiger.
