It was kinda obvious when the male MC was trying to pit them against each other, like when the groups had to say who performed under them, etc and when the first preliminary had groups saying that OMG had performed under them, instead of getting mad, Hyojung cried and instead everyone was feeling for her and OMG and was also funny.
There were also the Jimin interactions with the male MC and that turned out to be hilarious instead of hating.
We also had the vocal group choosing who their partner was going to be and although they probably expected to fight about who they wanted to team up with, it was more fun than anything when they had eventually chosen their partners.
So, as soon as Mnet realized they couldn't make the girls go against each other, they then immediately changed to the complete opposite.
Instead of wars between girls, we got love between girls.
