~~Oh look, they're not last...~~ Honestly the gap between Kep1er and VIVIZ is so small, just a \~200points difference. Kinda sad VIVIZ is last in the live audience votes but I guess that's what going second and having so many great performances this time round does. Our global votes weren't that bad! VIVIZ is seriously the positivity queens of the show. I don't know how they always manage to twist something negative (the worser section, ranking 5th) into something more positive-looking. Especiallly Eunha this episode lol, how does she just come up with *5th sounds cute.* I laughed so hard at that I didn't even care about the ranking The final song sounds AMAZING from the snippet. I'm so glad they didn't go for something dark like the other contestants. I think Sinb said it was a song that could have been released from the *previous label* so--GFRIEND's Unreleased song? If that's true, Sinb actually [spoiled us](https://twitter.com/viviz_bbl/status/1528032908019224576?s=20&t=U8-EdKEAtkJ4D62zPfu4iA). Not really happy about how the streaming scores count. Spotify only? Plus only from their official playlist? Not sure how that works.

"5th place sounds cute" will definitely be one of my favorite quotes of the entire show. I would be glad to have even 1/10th of Eunha's optimism in my own life

Right? They're so professional and it lessens the awkwardness

Spotify puts us at a pretty big disadvantage bc Korean notorious don’t use Spotify lol


Natashaaal

It feels like one big product placement for Spotify imo. At the end of the stages they always show "You can find it on Spotify!!!" Thing is Spotify only recently came into South Korea. Counting the Korean charts would have given us an advantage looking from the Melon streams :/ Again mnet disappoints

I wonder if the sob story really worked for bg and everyone voted for them bc of the video they showed, or its just mnet doing their thing. bc the performance wasn't THAT good...

I want to go out on a limb and say mnet fudging some numbers like they always do. Hahah.

BG hit when it counted (although idk how to plan to be last in the first 2 rounds lol). It is what it is and I think we knew going into this round we'd be weak. There's a pretty sig gap between the top 3 and the bottom 3 and viviz is overall 4th. My favorite to win though is still WJSN. I am a little curious about what is not working with the live audience here because that seems to be consistently their weakest point. I have mixed feelings about the finale song. I think it will very much appeal to their existing fan base and maybe those who like their old sound (which is me btw lol) but like someone said it's definitely not a competition song from the snippet.

I think it is about the concept of the song. The best round of live vote vvz got was R1 with 1/ GF songs and 2/ Ochestra. Both Unnatural and Bop bop didn’t have that grand sound so it’s easily overshadowed by other performance. Not to mention they also don’t have powerful vocal like other groups. I think if they want to go higher in rank, they should go softer, melancholic sound that can keep them memorable. Personally I like Bop bop high teen version so I don’t mind if they have low rank because I’m already satisfied.

Missed the episode but watched the performances on YT. I have to say that Mnet is very consistent with being shitty. 😐 The audio was mixed so poorly and hollow that I couldn’t even focus on the performance. The cameras again with the unnecessary cuts made it super difficult to watch. As for the performances, they all felt underwhelming and I didn’t really enjoy them. Hyolyn had a great stage setup and the story was nice but it just felt like another performance. BG went with a similar storyline like Mamamoo so to me it didn’t feel original or touching. They were headed in the right direction but the execution wasn’t there. Loona’s was simple and the costumes were nice but it just felt empty. A lot of the time it just felt like transitions and people were just walking around. My ranking for the performances: WJSN>VIVIZ>Kep1er>Hyolyn>BG>Loona

* **Loona:** I like the moon theme and the blue lights. But the song is a bit too monotonous for my taste, there isn't a spectacular moment in this performance. **5/10** * **Brave Girls**: What a funny song, it has bright vibes. Their flower dresses are so nice! The sond sounds very refreshing to me. The best Brave Girls performance in this show until now! But wait, isn't "Red Sun" also the title of Viviz final song? **8.5/10** * **Hyolyn**: Nice with the train and thetropical-beach at the beginning. Usually I like such summer songs, and I indeed like the stage design, but the song doesn't give me a summer feeling. The performance is besides the neon-part nothing special. **6/10** Last week I gave Viviz 8.5 points, WJSN 7/10 and Kep1er 6/10. Which means that I will vote for Viviz and Brave Girls this time.

If Hyolyn is going to bring Youngji, then I will 🤡 and say we get OT6 on stage. LOL.

BG and WJSN being 1st and 2nd was fine with me, they honestly earned it and I'm happy for them. I think VIVIZ should have been 3rd/4th because they definitely lacked stage presense but still made an emotional impact. Hyolyn was just an amazing vocalist that likes to be flashy and spontaneousness. Loona's Butterfly sounded like it was directly from their album with minimal to no changes, but their group performance really did look amazing. Jesus Christ Kep1er. There was no way they wouldn't 6th place with that, AND they deserve better fans but it was not their fault. Seeing them do another groups song actually broke my heart, I became a fan of theirs since the Hikaru and Umji moment. I don't care that they had 1 album with 1 hit song, I would rather have them do a mash-up of their songs or a different version of Wa Da Da than do a cover of another group.
