I really liked "SOS" and I absolutely adore Chanelle but Aran is still my favorite Fifty Fifty member and obviously the OG group has a big edge in terms of Discography so far

I didn't want to like them, wasn't even going to watch/listen to them as a kind of personal boycott because I liked the original 50/50 so much, especially Aran

But then they announced Chanelle was in the lineup, someone who I came to really like throughout RUNext and felt was unfairly maligned by that awful show, so I felt compelled to give them a chance

I Really liked SOS, and now I'm starting to like the other members and am kinda invested in the Group as a whole now

So that boycott didn't work out too well for me

Love the Song and the music Video was nice too

I think us judging what Generation a group belongs to by their debut date is the problem

A Groups "Generation" should align with the period of time they were at their peak not the date they happened to debut

(G)I-DLE debuted during the Peak of the 3rd Generation of Kpop, but should be remembered as more of a 4th Gen Group

I learned this lesson years ago with UNI.T

You can take some of the most popular members of unpopular groups, put them together and even promote them with a Big Survival Show and the end result is still an unpopular group

As much as I may think certain members of nugu groups are amazing, and I delude myself into thinking that they would have been huge if only due to circumstance, the reality is, if they really had "IT" they would already be famous and wouldn't be going on one of these second chance shows to begin with

The things that make Nana from Woo!Ah! so special in my eyes, clearly do not resonate with the wider audience

missing Limelight already

Another great comeback for Young Posse!

They will never be a Big Kpop Group because they don't really appeal to the masses, but i appreciate that they and their quirky Music Video's exist

I like allot of these songs

La Luna is such an underrated gem

also weren't you the one who recommended me Starry Night (Fanatics)?, surprised it didn't make your expanded Favorites list, one of my absolute favorites of the 4th gen

Well if it wasn't you, I recommend you give it a listen sometime, probably not everyone's cup of tea, but definitely vibes with me

I adored Limelight, one of my favorite Kpop groups of the last couple of Years

I'll give this new group a chance but I doubt they will have the same spark for me

Really didn't like them calling up 3 potentials and announcing the other 2 in succession

Just unnecessarily cruel to Fuko

Why couldn't they just call up Saebi and Mai and then put them both in, far different dynamic you don't reject Fuko the extra 2 times especially when at 20 years old this was probably her last real chance in the Ageist Kpop Industry

I don't like them doing this 2 candidates thing on the finale it is too cruel

This is the first time during the show I had even considered Yuju might not debut

I was convinced she would since way back in those 4 Pre Debut performances where to me they seemed to favor Sarang, Yuju, Jungeun and Saebi in each of the Videos and had based much of my Predictions on that

But with 5 out of 6 Fan vote I am now thinking she might not debut

Maybe it will be a Surprise 7 Member debut group?

??? did he just say 5 out of 6 will be chosen by Voters??

I have a feeling that it will be like RU Next and have most of the members decided by Judges and only a couple decided by Fan Vote

That said my prediction of the final 6 member team from everything I have seen

Sarang

Saebi

Koko

Jeemin

Yuju

Jungeun

Gyuri is a chance I feel

Fuko and Mai seem like no chance to me

and as for Jiyoon, i strongly suspect that despite being very popular wherever she ends up in voting will be that cut off point where it now becomes "Judges choice" as there is no precedent where the "Villain" Character debuts in one of these shows even when they were later Angel edited as Jiyoon undeniably has been the last few Episodes (the only comp I could find was Fu Yanning on GP999 who didn't debut)

I wonder how Right/Wrong I will be?

Wow, Finale One Pick only by the looks of it

no word on how many chosen by voters and how many chosen by Judges yet

Just checked and it Looks like ILAND 1 only had 12 survive to the Second Part so that is probably what it will be here too

I guess this is how they deal with LingLing, Weighted voting in addition to 6 votes per user is probably the only way to eliminate her considering her 1 pick fandom appears to be huge

I could tell they didn't want her early on and was wondering what their plan was to get rid of her as they hadn't done any evil editing or anything with her

If those Knetz votes are close to accurate than I guess it is fair to say goodbye to

Jiwon

Soul

Yuna

Minsol

Juwon

and Yui

as none of them strike me as having overly large international fanbases to make up the difference

that makes 7 Eliminated

Last one eliminated will be between Yeeun, Chaeeun and Gyuri

Jeemin, Yuju, Koko and Sujung feel clearly safe to me even if these aren't accurate to Knetz

Are 8 Eliminated this round?

For Me Top 10 best Visuals of their Group (1 per group)

Won Young - IVE

Ning Ning - aespa

Soojin - Weeekly

Yuna - Itzy

Nana - Woo!Ah!

Choerry - Loona

Yuqi - (G)I-dle

Sihyeon - Everglow

Hina - LightSum

Aran - FiftyFifty

Meh Episode for me

My predictions haven't changed that much

Yuju, Jungeun, Sarang will debut (very confident)

kang Jiwon, Jiyoon, Yuna, Chaeeun no chance (very confident)

Everyone else I still think has a chance, however unlikely

To fill out my current predicted lineup (7 members)

probably Sujung, Jeemin, Koko and Saebi but wouldn't bet Acorns on any of them yet

Shows so weird, the thing I liked about Juwon was her Expressions in previous performances

Genuinely feel they are worse here like it is way too much and they are praising it?

My tastes are so different to these Judges
