I'm gonna be totally honest about this, it was exactly what I've expected after reading some news that this was a flop! The first issue, it was a good idea to let the participants choose who they thought deserved to stay in competetition BUT it wasn't good to let them have 100% of that decision, why? because it can happen that maybe someone didn't deserved as others but they raised their hands to be polite or to follow the majority and that was exactly what happened.Out of 23 participants only Geonu (who, by the way, really looks like a young Nam Joohyuk) followed a good criteria without even turning around and see who else raise their hands. Second, of course Big Hit trainees have a special treatment, the edition make it so obvious. My last tought, I know in South Korea beauty standars are really unbreakeable but for a moment I was hoping this wasn't the same as all seasons of Produce 101 where every participant was good looking, this is a survival show to make idols but beauty is putted first on the list like if it's a talent to be born handsome, this is not a remake of The Face... Overall soso only the last group did great, we'll see if this gets better or worst.
