They called their male friends in the industry and had 3 minutes to make them respond with "Why are you so cute?" or something similar.

Jisoo called BTOB's Ilhoon, Dahye called Noel's Kang Kyunsung, Daeun called SNL Korea's Kim Mingyu, Solbin called UKISS's Soohyun, and the others were edited out (+ Sihyun didn't take part because she has no male entertainer friends lol rip).

ROUND 3: We are family, family family

They filmed 3-minute videos with their family member(s) and the judges gave votes to the ones that exuded the most familial warmth. THERE WERE SO... MANY.... TEARS...... ;~; Solbin all-out sobbed, poor baby.. and Cao Lu's parents are in China so she went around Seoul with cardboard cutouts of them ;A; (ft. small cameo from Zhoumi and Jia). the entire cast, MCs and panel were crying.. SO. MANY. TEARS. Daeun recorded a song for her mom, really sweet :')

thank you <3 did anymore eps get subbed in english? i know the 1st 2 did but i havent really followed up D:

also, did they like only allow in 3 fansites for the whole of the show?

[rightclick5ave.livejournal.com]

ah ep 2 got subbed too? I've been watching the Chinese subbed eps so I didn't check XD if there are more subbed eps I'll link them in my finale recap post!

yeah, I think only those 3! I think Spinel and smilewa are solo photographers/fancammers and 남상미 is affiliated with/is the fansite laboum6.

Totally saving this for when I have more time to look at it. I'm always here for girl groups.

I hope the recaps are helpful! some segments are more interesting than others so you can just skip to those parts without missing out on much. and except for the talk-heavy segments, subs aren't required!

[illmeltyoudown.livejournal.com]

Sihyun & Cao Lu was the best performance, i don't care about what those guys think. Also i was hoping for Cao Lu to win, You're pitiful is def top 5 song of this year and deserves more recognition

[rightclick5ave.livejournal.com]

I think the other teams just picked smarter songs that made the guys scream louder into the mics XD Cao Lu joined late but she got so much screentime right away, she's variety gold and I hope she gets invited on more (popular) shows after this!
