Echoing what others have said, it’s very odd that the debuted girls didn’t get as much screen time as you’d expect. Like where was Yoonchae in all of this? The episode build up made me feel like Manon is in a group that doesn’t like her but clearly they’ve reconciled, where is that footage?

What I also want to add to the conversation about this is that it would’ve been immensely more effective if HxG had released these episodes as the group was being decided. I think we can all agree the format for the survival show was very atypical of Korean survival shows. I much rather see a full hour of the training/relationship building rather than 2/3 minutes of a “polished” performance. Furthermore, the first mission being only vocals or only dance was a terrible decision. It would’ve been fine if it didn’t lead to eliminations but considering they did, I had no idea Adela sung as well as she did until she posted on Tiktok after elimination??

This isn’t to sh*t on the debuted group, all my picks made it but I think the format is just so off and did them a disservice.
