minor b did so much better with their advertising than i thought they would, but of course they advertised with the foreigners (and wow, they brought the second largest amount of people O.O)
i wish i could say the same about their performance. i got so uncomfortable that i just started watching mina so i wouldn't shout "YOU'RE THIRTEEN/FOURTEEN YEARS OLD!!!" at my laptop

major b did waaaaay better in their performance than i thought they would. it really suited them and they sounded so good. tzuyu and jungyeon sounded the best they've ever sounded and nayeon was pretty stable. very good choice for them! (and then jungyeon went on to sound so unbelievably horrible in hands up......)

major a did sooooooooo well and jihyo is a goddess. minyoung was so stable and chaeyoung is perfect, i love her rapping so much, she's actually so so good at it (and she's cute as anything when she sings). sana is so cute. they did so well! i was so worried about jyp's stone face though, he looked so disapproving until the end. he smiled all through the b teams' performances :(

what minor a taught me is that chaeryeong is actually really good at singing, AND she doesn't sound like a five year old! but that dahyun really isn't good, and DOES sound like a five year old......she's okay at rapping though! definitely her area
also jiwon is a princess, definitely the best singer along with jihyo (sorry jungyeon and minyoung lol)

when jyp said his favourite team today was major b, i actually agreed with him. they did so well. tzuyu really proved us all wrong! his view on them was exactly what i agreed with too

OF COURSE IT STOPPED THEN wtf are you eliminating all of minor in this episode jyp? that's six people. i have no idea what you're doing right now

spoiler cut spoiler:

so from the spoiler what i'm getting is that they've swapped chaeryeong and dahyun with minyoung and chaeyoung? we know minyoung and chaeyoung aren't in minor though bc they were major a....so i don't really know why they did that. unless they then were shunted down? and somi was eliminated??? somi's not in any of these pictures

i don't know why somi was eliminated over natty? i just /sigh

[imyoona.livejournal.com]

she's there. Last picture, second to last person

[cairistiona.livejournal.com]

oh thank you! i was trying to work out the one who was missing and i thought it was her

but it's jiwon, isn't it? i can never have good things ;_;

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

yep ;__; she was one of my faves, along with momo. i have the worst luck

[cairistiona.livejournal.com]

she was my favourite after jihyo ;_;

i'm so sad, i haven't seen it happen and i already feel the way all the momo fans feel

[fabulousdoll.livejournal.com]

No, NO, NOOOOOOOO first Momo and now her?!! Why?! Now I care less about the group.

[cairistiona.livejournal.com]

EXACTLY :( she was perfection, but like momo she was always beaten down

it's like jyp wants to break them. kill their confidence while they're young, destroy their spirits ;_; i'm being over-dramatic, but that's how it feels

[fabulousdoll.livejournal.com]

I defended JYP when Momo, because I thought that was more audience fault than his. But now?! It doesn't make sense. Then when it was between her and Momo she should had lost instead of Momo and I would have one of the two at least. If one of the babies (Natty, Somi and Chaeryeong) debuts I'm going to fly to Korea and slap JYP lol

[cairistiona.livejournal.com]

i think he probably wanted to keep both of them, but he's so obsessed with the little ones that he doesn't want to get rid of them just yet, and had to find other options. i don't see more that one making twice, if any make it at all. if they do, i will be unimpressed, but i know that other 14 year olds have debuted already /sighs

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

i feel like a grandma, i was so uncomfortable with natty and somi performing who's your mama and now i'm uncomfortable with their outfits too. is natty wearing a push up bra? i get somi, bc she looks older (but she's still 14 lawd), but natty seriously is a child. jyp should have eliminated her a long time ago. i really hope jyp doesn't put the 2000 kids in twice, but somi seems to be popular so idk. they'd all benefit from more training (along with some other girls like dahyun).

i'm sad jihyo never got to major 7, she was so close to being there in the last few days. chaeyoung should have been in somi's place.

[cairistiona.livejournal.com]

poor baby jiwon, this is only going to make her less confident with her abilities. all she's been is knocked down à la momo

i wish he'd debut trios so i could have jiwon/momo/chaeyoung and jungyeon/nayeon/tzuyu

though tbh i just want jiwon/jihyo/momo/chaeyoung

[cairistiona.livejournal.com]

i just realised that the final major lineup is the same as the milk poll, only with 10th place chaeryeong swapped with 5th place sana and 9th place jihyo swapped with 4th place mina. how weird :| it's like we have a one-foreigner quota for this group, and tzuyu is a shoo-in, so sana's out

[fabulousdoll.livejournal.com]

I can't deal with JYP's faces during the stages
I liked Major A but Minyoung has no presence I forget that she exists.
I don't know what to say about Hush stage. It failed and not sure in what. That's one of my favourite Miss A's stages even if I didn't like that much the song, so maybe my expectation were too high.
It's always fun to see Chaeryeong, but I don't want her to debut yet. She can wait and do it with her sister.

My final cut: Jihyo, Chaeyoung, Nayeon, Tzuyu, Jiwon, Sana and Momo (BECAUSE SHE WILL BACK, I DARE YOU TO SAY OTHERWISE *going to cry*) Please I don't want Natty or Somi to debut yet, they are, sound and look too young.

Now it looks like I can't have Jiwon neither. Why?! I hate everything. I would rather not know about the show so I could stan the group without feeling bad about the others

[cairistiona.livejournal.com]

jyp's facial expressions were so happy all through three of the perfs and stone cold during major a :| i was side-eyeing that too bc jyp's face is an open book and he's not very good at hiding his emotions, so clearly he disapproved of major a in some way

The promotion parts were really interesting. Initially I thought that Major B's marketing strategies were smart. They hung flyers in public places and in the taxi (people gotta eat and they have to travel). Then they went to a school, where their target audience would be. Unfortunately the school ended up hurting them because most of them had to study. Minor B being foreign actually worked in their favor since they could communicate with many people and I was so relieved. Minor A were adorable promoting. And Major A taking the subway was a smart move. I'm happy that they all got to stay in Major because I love them all.

I really liked this concert mission because there were fans and random people, so the bias voting isn't as bad as it was in the first concert round. Major B did a great job! Jungyeon and Nayeon aren't as good as Minyoung and Jiwon, but they're really stable when they sing and that helps them a lot. Nayeon looked really relaxed onstage and I was happy about that. Minor B lack vocal talent but they looked like they were having a lot of fun on stage and that helped the audience to have fun as well. Major A did well, though Jihyo was breathing really loudly during the acoustic part. Minor A was okay. Nothing about their performance was memorable to me.

The suspense to find out who's eliminated is going to kill me.

My Ideal Lineup After This Episode: Somi, Jihyo, Chaeyoung, Nayeon, Jiwon, Sana, and Minyoung. Dahyun is still one of my favorites and she seems super genuine and charming, but I don't think she's ready talent-wise.

[cairistiona.livejournal.com]

although tzuyu is growing on me, i agree with your final line up. it makes the most sense talent-wise and i'd think it would have a really cohesive sound. (and also i just want my holy non-japanese line trinity of jihyo/jiwon/chaeyoung)

[cairistiona.livejournal.com]

she was fine in this performance but hands up was right afterwards and she was HORRIFIC in hands up. she was honestly so bad i found it hard to listen to. i think with jungyeon she's either on point or she's so very off point it makes the whole experience unpleasant. with only two choices as to her performance ability and the fact it ranges from performance to performance and not day to day (as in having good/bad days), i think it would be inadvisable to have her in the group. but the public love her, and jyp loves her, and i see her being a shoo-in like tzuyu, reliability be damned
