JIWON'S CLIMB. Queen of smiling!

wow @ spica jiwon's ranking in the team mission being so middle-ranked and wow @ her rank falling, I wonder what happened

Excited for the rest of the girls next week (esp hyosun/viva's team! )

[adenar.livejournal.com]

I just checked the full ranking and I'm screaming viva rose SIXTEEN PLACES!! Euna + other contestants boosting her on social media must have helped. I'm so happy they love her so much I hope she maintains this rank at least

Semmi rose 13 places too! I'm so happy for her, I hope Haena gets a similar ranking boost. Dana falling 14 places though ;_;

I hope Hyosun makes it back into the top 9.

[myungung.livejournal.com]

it's quite amazing that Yang Jiwon is still ranked so highly despite being given not much screentime, and always having to share it with so many others. But she does shine in whatever little she is given though!

[adenar.livejournal.com]

She definitely still has a good rank, I doubt there's anything to worry about, it just surprised me that both her ranking fall and her middle-of-the-pack audience ranking happened in the same episode

[hitthoselightz.livejournal.com]

yang jiwon is just not very interesting or captivating

she can sing and shes pretty but she has no charm tbh

i think knetz call it "a flower without a scent" lol

[yejun.livejournal.com]

In my opinion the right team won in all the battles.
Timoteo's choreo style is so similar to that of Noh Taehyun lmao I wonder who influenced who.
Feeldog's team had the more impactful intro but their choreo looked really messy (some might be because of the camera work but still).
Both vocal teams had overkill screaming but I thought both did well. Altho MID is really hard to cover cuz Baek, Jongdae and Kyungsoo have such powerful voices so I didn't get the same chills I always get when watching them perform it.

My princess Yoonjo rising every week! 14->7! I'm sad she only got 7th in her team although I understand it.

[myungung.livejournal.com]

I enjoyed Who's Your Mama better, but the team could do with lesser members so that everyone could shine though.

And does anyone know what's up with Areum (ex T-ara)? She was not involved in the choreo and only came out for one line. I also did not see her for previous performances too.

[yejun.livejournal.com]

She said she was sick and had to go to the hospital a lot during the rehearsals... she didn't say exactly what for though

[lightframes.livejournal.com]

Awww. I hope it's nothing too serious.

[myungung.livejournal.com]

that sounds worrying. I hope it isn't anything serious, or related to her previous meltdown she had. starting to wonder if joining the unit was a good decision though

[carmine-pink.livejournal.com]

I agree with the results except for boy performance teams. Kingsman + That's What I Like team was more memorable and impactful for me, like they have surprises in every corner. After listening again I noticed they changed the lyrics "sex by the fire" to "kiss by the fire" lol. Makes sense since Kijoong (and maybe others) is underage.

I liked both of the boy vocal teams but I think U R team did better. Miracles in December felt more like 3 mains + supporting members but U R spread out highlight parts more equally. I want more main vocals in the top 9 and my bets are on Rockhyun and Jeup cause Lee Geon's rank is still middling for some reason.

I know BST team was aiming at sexy but it felt a bit low energy somehow. Justice for Yujeong though. Semmi slayed in Who's Your Mama. Good Day Jiwon is overdoing the aegyo but Korea seems to like it, idk.

I heard (unconfirmed) that the votes were reset after the first elimination so that might explain the rank changes especially in the top spots.

[hitthoselightz.livejournal.com]

seyongs team shouldve won. their performance was more impactful tbh. the whole time watching the other team i kept thinking "this is such an idol dancing routine". apart from some moments like euijin killing it, i could literally see them count in their head lol i also dislike timoteo, im glad he fell to #5

this weeks rankings are so surprising but also a mess
euijin #1? hyunjoo rising to top5??? yoonjo?????? nah no thank you. dont think i like anyone in the top9 tbh everyone is disappointing (well n.ca did well but idc for her)

im rooting for woohee, yeoeun and semmi the most. semmi killed it in whos your mama. i cant wait for yeoeun to deliver a great vocal performance next week

also sad about nari falling so much:(

i hope haena rises. she cant be eliminated

[mlmello.livejournal.com]

I could only think of p101 shape of you while watching stay performance and not in a good way. I really think the other team should have won. their performance left the biggest impact and it was the first time I felt like the boys were actually enjoying it?!

I was really excited for BST cover but it really ended up flat af. I don't even think it was the girls fault, but more with the remix itself. I know they were going for that sunmi' sexy thing, but the song ended up without a punch imo. I did like how they used similar moves for the first part of the chorus lol

JUN GETTING THAT #1 SPOT!
and daewon holding that top9 spot!
and euijin rising! bless this new rank for unit b.

[seulgibear.livejournal.com]

my bby did so great!! i didn't think black team would win bc the other team was flashier with a better song but i'm so happy. hopefully he rises into top 9 next week again after all the screen time he got. i'm proud of him, hope i dont see him cry again any time soon 💗💖💗💖

[yixingsforehead.livejournal.com]

i'm just getting into the unit, and got to the point where taemin had to rate his old friend.......it felt like one of the most cruel moments on entertainment tv i've seen in a while..... it worked regardless, and i'm half glad he was honest, so gonna watch some more now

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

DAAAAAAAAMN WHO'S YOUR MAMA SLAYED MY EXISTENCE

they could go on immortal song with that performance

[citypolaroids.livejournal.com]

am i the only one unimpressed by who’s ur mama? semi and euna did great, even somyi was cute with her parts, but it didn’t even sound like they were all singing the same song 99% of the time. yoonjo’s parts were cringey and good day’s jiwon continues to grate me with her cutesy act. it just seems so forced and disgenuine. yujeong should’ve gotten first in her group, but the song did lack that climax that would’ve made them a sure winner. i can’t wait to see the rest of the girls’ perfs.

i was so proud that vixx’s chained up made it to black team’s remix, lol. but i hate how many people are in these perfs sometimes. it’s hard to follow 13 nugus running around wearing the same outfits and doing the same dance. no one really stands out except a couple of the more well known contestants, and that sucks for the people who already ranked low to begin with. there should be 7-8 people to a group, max.

[demeulemeester.livejournal.com]

so happy semmi's getting more screentime and recognition too! her and haena rose a lot though dana dropped as much :'(
yoonjo is doing well too, she sounded great in her performance.

YAS JUUUUUN!!!!!!

[haitsu-takaoga.livejournal.com]

I think all the winner of this episode group battle are all the best group. So I'm glad that justice is still alive on that.

Imho it's really hard to choose between That's What I Like and Stay team. They are all good in their own way and Feeldog is such a genius. Although i don't quite like him, it's a cue to Seyong for teaching Kijoong until he able to master the dance move. Also for Stay team, I get what Rain said that they need to do a song that will leave impact and liked by audience, and although the members seems to agree with him, I think it's okay if they are confidence in their dance skill? It's good that they actually deliver and won at least. I think i still need to watch in sub to understand what actually happening and why they "stay" with their song choice anyway.

I feel so bad for BS&T team, but ... yeah their performance is boring compared to Who's Your Mama that is really good! I'm happy that Semmi rank really high on that!

There are so much lines for Miracle December team that should be given to Lee Geon instead. IDK why they (or he himself) didn't give him that high notes part for him. UR team have a better harmony though and I'm glad that Dongmyeong get to showcase his skill that he didnt get to during broduce.

This is longer than I expected. But they're really good when only do one thing and not several things at once (like dance + singing). Also the rank shake is so interesting.

[chasing-thewind.livejournal.com]

just finished the episodes and daaaaaang, those were all better performances than i was expecting

I felt that Miracles in December and U R were pretty evenly matched. I like Geon and Jeup's voices better that Rockhyun's, but Miracles in December is really hard to pull off. I'm fine with how it turned out, no strong feelings either way

Who's Your Mama dominated BST. Who's Your Mama was super hard hitting and had the advantage of numbers which made their stage seem more impressive, but BST was also just kinda... flat. Not hard to see why they won.

THE DANCE TEAMS. I have sooooo many mixed feelings about this. Both performances were amazing. I thought Kingsman + That's What I Like had better flow and transitions, but I liked Stay + Chained Up's concept. I thought both were evenly matched, and you could really tell how stressed Stay + Chained Up was since they were literally on the floor crying after they won.

I'm honestly not mad about any of the results which is really... rare for a survival program lol. I have also picked up ~3 more underrated faves, so that's just more pain for me, yay!
