~About episode 5~

Spoiler

First of all: I didn't like this episode because it was about only the ranking and they just talked and talked and talked... It was quite boring to me. There was only one performance.

Plus it gave me a bad mood because Golden Child had to leave the show... Maybe I am oversensitive, but it felt so bad to see that Bomin and the group members cryed... And as I wrote previously they were my favourite in this show and I hoped that they will be on a better rank at the end. So I am surprised too because of the result...

And another surprise was that Oneus climbing on the fourth place!

I am really interested in the next episode!

Ep 6?

Spoiler

Basically it can be easily summed up. I only watch the performances so idk what else happened in the episode. Either way On was boring, it was just a cover. KTL was not good, it didn't work at all imo. Herione was amazing, I loved everything about it. It was fun. New and Keonhee were a crazy good vocal duo. Hwanwoong and Q were an amazing dance duo. Everything was amazing, except the beginning which is fine.

So my rankings:
Herione>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>On>>>>>>>>>>>>>KTL

And once again Mnet completely disagrees because wtf

 

[Ahsoka]

Oh didnt realize there was more

Spoiler

The Got7 performance was a hard pass for me. Didn't finish it. Like the song but I felt so uncomfortable watching it.
Well apparently I can't stand the song It's Raining so that was a hard pass too.
The Oneus performance was good. The remix isnt as good as the original but the performance was nice, really pretty. Definitely a big fan of it, although it felt a tiny bit lacking. Compared to the others it was really really good though

I'm scared Oneus will be the next to be eliminated My babies

EP 6

Collab performances

Spoiler

I was pretty mixed towards all of the collabs. In last ep TOO and VERIVERY had pretty much dance performance with military concept in a song that was vocal heavy and too soft for it. Good performance, but it would been so much better with some real vocals- or they should have changed the song to sth harder.

ONF and Pentagon had clever idea of performing Blackpink's song. And in many parts it sounded beautiful and interested, especially what come to singing. Also some parts were visually stunning But i felt like they changed it too much, the mix was all over the place for me and just left me confused.

And last performance, of THE BOYZ and ONEUS, i did like it and they did nice job of including other teams, i felt like it was meaningful. It wasn't as memorable as some performances have been and didn't have as visually stunning scenes. I don't think it deserved that last place though at all. The song and mixing of it was perfect for the concept they were going on, sth the other teams didn't have and that's kinda important for good performance.

 

[blueberries]

Your song

Spoiler

So other teams picked these? That sounds like fun, but i'm sure they were nice..

They are showing this in confusing way, especially since the names of teams are mostly in hangul and name tags too and i still cannot properly recognize the teams...

The BOYZ: Shangri La, ONEUS: Be Mine, TOO- Hard Carry, VERIVERY: gogobebe, ONF: It's Raining, Pentagon: Follow.
I think that's the order. They picked good songs in general, i'm not familiar with It's Raining and Follow but others are good. All the boy groups have so far done different kind of concepts so i don't think the concepts will be issue. I'm probably most looking forward Shangri La, I wonder what kind of huge dance moves THE BOYZ will portray. Be Mine might be hard to make into big impressive stage, not sure. I'm also rooting for ONEUS and VERIVERY who are my faves and this point.

I shouldn't have been worried of ONEUS. I like all their performances. This time they did't rly do anything for the song itself, it sounds exact match- apart from dance break towards the end. But the use of props and some dance highlights are great.

TOO's performance is alright. It's fun and Hard Carry is such hype song. However the gansta concept, while fun, didn't feel too believable, maybe like they were trying too much? Not their best performance for me, maybe this was the one where they showed their age and rookieness most.

ONF had another hard song to perform, especially for a group. I think they did great job with the mix, making it more exciting and fitting bg. However I don't know if the all acting parts were worth enough to stop the song for them.

I liked all the performances, but ONEUS was definitely best one for me.

i still dont understand why there are elimanations

i still dont understand why there are elimanations

They wanted to make it more spicy I guess but it doesn't fit with the narration MNET tried to push for RtK.
It would fit better if they did it with Queendom or Kingdom, not a program that is designed to make nugu groups more known to the public

 

[whatever]

RTK is too stressful for me...I've watched some performances but only Oneus' performances pull me in (huh, of course, I'm a stan). But I'm preparing myself for their e......
And I won't talk about their screen time....nope.
Mnet, you are not nice

Spoiler: Random rumor

Wouldn't be surprised if this was true

 

[Ahsoka]

Spoiler

Tbh I was expecting Oneus to get eliminated, I'm a bit surprised it was Too since they are an mnet formed group

 

[MinKarat]

Spoiler: final round songs

I'm pretty excited for the performances, Pentagon and ONF's songs are my favorites atm because they just sound so cool

 

[Ahsoka]

Spoiler

Pentagon-I liked the concept. Execution wise it was okay, could be worse ig. It wasn't amazing but it was good imo.
Verivery- It's nice and cute. Interesting that we had 2 in one round doing Arabic related concepts. I thought it was refreshing, but not fully memorable tbh. The dance break did have a bit of cool stuff going on. One thing I noticed was the bacground though, I remember GIdle got hate for dancing in front of a mosque background and they did that here oof
The Boyz-First I was shook, then I was ehed, then I was reshook. It was overall a beautiful performance. The song itself felt a little lacking compared to Vixx, but the performance and imagery and choreo was beautiful, Q did a great job with making it and whoever made the concept did amazingly. By far the best performance on the show so far.

This round I would vote The Boyz>Oneus>Pentagon/Verivery>ONF>Too

 

[Ahsoka]

I didn't know the new songs would be on spotify already
I want to listen but I don't want to ruin the surprise

 

[Ahsoka]

Spoiler

Ok the group I thought would win from the start won, no surprises there I am surprised ONF ranked so high, that's nice to see

I'll just talk about whether I liked the songs or not because I'm tired.
Oneus-Good but not great, definitely not shook.
The Boyz-I found it boring tbh.
Verivery- Also highly boring.
Pentagon- Boring.
ONF- Not bad, not great either.

My favorite was Oneus and I wasnt overly hyped about it either. They were all a bit disappointing tbh.

I just started watching this (I'm on episode 4 now) and I have fallen for so many boys already it's crazy! I'm officially considering myself a fan of the chaotic sundaes Pentagon. They're just so much fun, are super talented + have amazing stage presence. I need to look into them more. Someone please tell me the name of the boy with the blonde/red hair though... His expressions and stage presence is next level! So amazing!

So far, The Boyz have really blown my expectations out of the water. They're SO GOOD! So far out of all the rounds I have seen, their performances have consistently been my favourites. They're soooooo talented! I'm going to look into them too.

As for ONEUS honestly out of all the groups, I like their songs the most so I was rooting for them the most when I started watching this but their performances so far have been pretty bland for me compared to the others. I don't know why everyone is surprised that they keep ranking low. They're talented but their stages are nothing interesting. They're just like an end of year Gayo performance whereas everyone else goes full on out with their performances.

TOO... They surprised me. Their first performance proved how unexperienced they were but their second performance was so good. I'm glad they ranked higher! Someone also tell me the name of the blonde boy who is excellent at dancing + has amazing expressions and stage presence. I couldn't take my eyes off him!

Golden Child, VERYVERY and ONF so far have not been memorable for me. Their members are very talented but no one has stood out to me. And although their stages were really good, I couldn't bring myself to stay interested. I just started episode 4 though so maybe their next performance will change my mind.

Alright fine, I take back my words. ONF are great. Their episode 4 performance (with Yooa) was one of my overall favourite performances on the show so far. It was reaaaaaaally good! And the boy with red hair has such a beautiful voice!

Taking back my words #2... Golden Child's ep4 performance with the violin was just WOAH! The performances in this episode so far are on a whole other scale. I guess since there's an elimination coming up they're going all out.

Take back #3, ONEUS's 2nd round stage was anything but bland. I'm glad they're doing more. That was a very exciting stage!

About the first elimination

Spoiler

I'M SO UPSET! HOW DID GOLDEN CHILD END UP BEING THE FIRST ONES TO GET DISQUALIFIED? They had one of the best stages od the night.... that's so unfortunate for them! They had so much potential. I hope this show actually benefited them in some way!/SPOILER]
