My Top 12 based on the Tumblr sorter:
1 Wang Ziyi2 Cai XuKun3 Zhu Xingjie3 Zhou Yanchen5 Zheng Ruibin6 You Zhangjing7 Han Mubo7 Xiao Gui9 Qin Fen10 Zhu Zhengting11 Yang Feitong
11 Zhou RuiI realise there are a lot of vocalists? And the Gramarie boys (yasss). Also Ruibin needs to be in the Top 9 guys. He's really the full package.
And Han Mubo... he's very underrated too. I enjoy his vocal colour.
Iqiyi should really have split the screentime evenly in the evaluation episode.
Ruibin only got 5 seconds in the first episode despite being a total package.
I heard that it's because he sang a Cantonese song for his auditions :/
He did so well though. I was impressed. I hope he makes it into the Top 9, or even the next ep.
Does anyone know whether he becomes centre for the next song?
Yes fucking please.
I'd actually put the 3 gramarie trainees in the top 9 tbh, but I know that's not realistic.
Are you me? I want all the Gramarie trainees in the Top 9 too. The three trainees are so good and quite well-rounded for trainees.
At this point, I just
wantneed Xingjie to be in the top 9 - the boy literally has it all why are people so blind.This.

What's your top 9 pick?
I want Ruibin to be in too.
I so agree
I'm voting for him every day
If he can not make it into the winner group, I hope Huayi stick him everywhere and make him successful
I don't think there's anyone I want to get into Top 9 more than Ruibin. He's the full package. Handsome, one of the best singers on this show, nice personality and good at dancing.
Hua Yi is a big company...it can be very good for you if you end up standing out, but you might get lost in the shuffle too. I don't think it's the best for being an idol per se.
Ruibin deserves all the love. He's so talented, and yet gets so little screentime, etc. Hoping for only good things for him, and for him to make the Top 9 too.
My top 9 is still in a state of flux because I like so many of the boys. I would really like Ziyi, Ruibin, Yanchen and Xingjie though. I would like some of the Qin boys in Top 9 but I also am in a dilemma because I want them to debut as a group lol.
Can't remember if this has been posted:

This is adorable. :D
People are saying that Wang Ziyi is hated because he is fake CPing with Cai Xukun.
I personally think that Wang Ziyi's got great dancing skills and rapping to be in the top 9 though.
Mostly this, tbh.
Some antis believe that the entire Xukun/Ziyi CP is fake and that Ziyi is riding on Xukun's coattails to make it to the top 9. Some also believe he doesn't deserve to be in the Top 9 because he's less talented than their favourite trainees. And a good number also believe he's weak (because he gave up centre to Justin, because he apparently doesn't seem to have enough drive(?) - but on the flipside you know that they would bash him if he was thirsty and aggressive so...) I don't get it, because since when was kindness and generosity a weakness?
His agency is taking legal actions
I'm so glad his agency isn't going to stand for this, and that they're doing their part to protect their artistes.
A note about the post by BBT official, they also wrote that "kindness does not represent weakness, simpleness and happiness (a play on the agency name Simply Joy) does not mean they will take any insult lying down"
It's one thing not to like Ziyi (or any other trainee really), it's another to hate on him (publicly) and it's a really hateful thing to photoshop funeral pics of him - like seriously, what is wrong with these antis?
(And they've gotten access to social media for a while so shame on those crazies who do irrational, loathesome things like this - no one deserves this kind of treatment)
Here's an interesting article about the extent of Chinese fandom (it talks mostly about TFBoys who are without a doubt the biggest idols in China) http://www.sixthtone.com/news/1001875/chinas-idol-groups-how-to-organize-fans-and-adulate-people
It's quite crazy how organized they are and what kind of power they hold, although I think it'd be really fun to be part of a fanclub in China too with the organized meetups.
Thanks for the share. It's a good read, and a good insight on Chinese fandom and fan culture. The scale of their fan activities is enormous whoa. :O

i honestly don't get why he hasn't ranked higher with all this talent he got within him. o.o
Ikr. He gets very little screentime too, but he's honestly so talented yet so underrated.

I saw this and was speechless for a long while lol. Despite the headband he looks good though?
Apparently his fans gave it to him lol.
Bonus - found this photo. Omg. He looks so young?

Edit: So um. Apparently there's a lot of hate for Ziyi now? (I don't get it? Why?)

(And they've got access to social media again so I hope he isn't too affected).
Apparently one of his coworkers posted this in support of him.

where's jin yi han? isn't he apart of simply joy?
also someone else might have more information on jin yi han but even though he's with simple joy i'm not actually certain that he's a member of BBT which is the group in the photo. BBT have released two music videos each with 5 members but neither of them included yihan as far as i'm aware (tbh both videos are a bit confusing in that there are scenes with 5 guys dancing but then a lot of other scenes with just the 4 guys that we know are in BBT and are in the above photos so idk who the supposed fifth member is, especially since in both videos the fifth guy only dances and doesn't sing)
Jin Yihan was not actually a part of Simple Joy (and BBT), he was only signed for the show, meaning he was not a part of BBT and was only signed to them for the duration of the show because they needed one more to fill a spot. He was seen at a Yuehua casting the other day.
Thanks for the clarification! I was confused about that too. Here's a translated Weibo post I found from Jin Yihan + BBT boys responding:

Sharing some clips of Ziyi singing, since
he's going to join Group 2 with all the other vocalists.
(Also promoting the Ziyi Appreciation Thread! if you want to discuss all things related to Wang Ziyi. :D)

Awww.. zuo ye and xukun so cute. Although with the teary eyes, they still pose cutely.
Oh my God, OACA convo is so hillarious. Zuo ye like the obedient son, meanwhile zimo the rebel one
Ikr. They're adorable. Can see that their eyes are still a little swollen.
I died reading it. Hahah. The OACA bond is amazing. BoFen are really the (sassy) parents and their kids are giving them so much sass as well (though Zuo Ye is the sweetest baby).

i'm glad they can have a meal together while they're still training with one another. and aww glad they were able to get their phones back and LXK adding all the trainees. that friendship. really hoping it last and they'll keep in touch.
which reminds me of what i saw on tumblr. translations of Han Mubo and Qin Fen's weibo post when they got their phones back and the other three commenting on it and a convo happening. xD i love it.
qinfen-qingshenQin Fen’s Weibo Update | 20180311
ahh i remember that now. and i just did and it gives me "sugar paper" xD but i can say it... close enough of pronunciation of it now. and OMG how could i forget the QINent trainees?! yes they're still together and i'm so dumb for realizing those four are still in the show. thanks for the reminder. lol i probably forgot or didn't notice but what does "kunyin" mean?
and adding this moment of these two where i found it super precious when i watched the episode for the first time. lol
The OACA boys are adorable. :3
Also more Zuo Ye (on the right). He is such a successful iKun. :D

CXH felt really substantial this episode, I really like him now.
Xukun made a big sacrifice by offering to leave and it truly shows the deep bond between him and Ziyi that Ziyi was willing to leave with Xukun so Xukun' wish can be fufilled. I feel like Ziyi made the bigger sacrifice. It's one thing to volunteer yourself, it's another thing to ask your friend to volunteer his chance as well. That little quiet heart to heart scene was everything.
Xin, this is exactly how I felt about that scene. I really like that we're given such scenes because we wouldn't know why or how they made these decisions. I watched this scene a couple of times and I am just so touched by them.Epic bromance aside, it really does take a lot to volunteer yourself like this, and the fact that Ziyi was on the same page and willing to follow just touched me. I'm so glad we have this opportunity to get a better glimpse of their true selves underneath what we already know (esp considering that the both of them are one of the quieter boys on the show). I really, really love them both so much.
So it's starting.
You know when I first started to watch this show I was surprise with how chill everyone was. The trainees were friendly and were having fun. It was the complete opposite of how Jackson describe being a trainee was like.
Because everyone was just getting to know each other and was standing at the starting point they must have not realize how tough the whole elimination was going to be later on. I doubt most of them has face this kind of pressure since c-idol industry has a different system than k-idols. Then the other trainees started to drop and reality probably catch up to them. Yixing means well but no matter how hard some of this trainees fight they'll never achieve the level of votes some top trainees get. I'm very sure all of them know this specially the lower rank who will feel the huge gap between them and those sitting at the top. You can tell that the competition is starting to get to them. I don't blame those who get frustrated by their result or are tired and bitter by the pressure and just wants to get all of this over with. I'd feel the same if I was stuck in that kind of environment :(
Honestly no matter what happen I just want all of them to go out with a bang. I don't want them to think that they're not good enough.
Your comment echoed some of the things I'm feeling now. It's complicated. I don't know how to articulate what I want to say, but you've said it so well. Sometimes I watch them and I get tired too, because everyone works hard but some people have done so much but still don't get as much recognition (plus there are only 9 spots and so many deserving trainees). My heart aches, and like you said, I just want them all to walk away knowing that they've learnt so much, gone so far and accomplished so much but this really is only the beginning, and there are so much more things in store for all of them.
I just have so much feelings about this guys.

and the Jeffrey photos may be me. lol haha i've been sharing what i've found on my tumblr dashboard. bwahaha which reminds of sharing this other one of him~ lol
mu-ziyangbonus: wang ziyi finally tearing it down
playful wang ziyi & zhu zhengting who was ready to whoop his ass
Jeffrey's dimples kill me all the time. And he looks so good in those photos!
Also that scene!
I live for playful!Ziyi omg. Who nominated him to tear off the paper anyway???

who do you guys think will drop during 2 pick? i feel like 2-3 yuehua will be eliminated next round, most likely wenjun and xinchun. xukun will probably keep his spot on top and nong nong will prob bounce back up to top 3 next week. ziyi will either drop or stay in his place. international fans seem to really like ziyi and xukun pairing but actually most chinese ikuns dislike ziyi. they don't like how IP is pushing the pairing so hard and there has been alot of drama on weibo between fans of the 2 side. basically xukun fans think ziyi rose in rankings bc of xukun (which is partly true) but then ziyi fans deny this and the fight gets messy. there are also fans who stan the top 4 as a group; most of those fans dislike nong nong and ziyi. even tho nong nong has lost of haters i think he's pretty safe bc his fans keep to themselves and he has many solo stans. chinese fans of top 3 yuehua also don't help each other out on votes bc they like to keep to themselves too. there are people who ship justin/zzt and justin/fcc tho so i can see justin being pretty safe. i was surprised at justin's votes this week. over 20 million, almost tripled and the gap between first and second place is alot smaller now. xukun would still snatch first but justin's fandom is more powerful than i thought. zzt and fcc chinese fandoms seem more anxious but i think at the end of the day they will be fine.
Thanks for sharing, spicyricecake! Honestly didn't think there would be so much drama on Weibo between fans of Xukun and Ziyi considering they're so close on the show. As a Ziyi fan, I'm hoping Ziyi won't drop in the two-pick and one-pick later on.
Tbh I think the same, Top 3 will still remain top 3, Nongnong and Zhengting will still be top 9.
yeah i kind of got the same feeling from ruibin when he said he wanted to be center. i don't rmb exactly what he said but like xing jie had a really good well prepared speech about how he was originally a vocal before he trained as a rapper and he wanted this chance to show off his vocal side. i guess ruibin was kinda intimidated by that because xingjie did some really good singer and like literally everyone voted for him as center. then there was like only 5 people who voted for ruibin? i only saw like justin and a few others raise their hands.
Yeah, when Ruibin was named centre his ears were so red. Poor boy. He was so stressed about it. I'm glad he had the opportunity to be centre for the second Dream team, even if they did struggle initially.
I am anticipating Xingjie being centre though, because it feels so overdue. He's so talented - he sings, he dances, he raps, and he's a magician! I can't wait to watch his performance.
Xukun's ranking speech made me cry.
Whoever said that Xukun was cold, arrogant and secretive can go ahead and slap themselves now.
Ikr. Xukun is a bit reserved, but he isn't any of that. I really admired him and Ziyi in this ep. Sobbing buckets during his speech.

So Jeffrey really calls Han Mubo mom? This is too much for me to handle.
Also, even though Dong Yanlei really lacks the skills, I thought he added a lot to the show and I will miss him too. They do pick on him a lot and he takes it well, hope he has a very successful acting career in the future.
Yeah he does. I burst out laughing when I saw that. Mubo is definitely the mum in FenBo.
I didn't expect Dong Yanlei to make me cry so hard. I really will miss him - he tried so hard and it really shows, and I'm proud they acknowledged it. Luo Zheng's speech also made me cry. I want to hug them both.
Just started watching episode 8 so I'm writing my thoughts. lol
I find it hilarious that FCC's vegetable analogy refuses to die a timely death.
I love the fit that Bu Fan and Xiao Gui throw at the PD team tricking them by shuffling the song numbers.
When Justin yells at the Gods and is answered in the form of DZR. I laugh till I cry. lol
The original Dream team is like "it doesn't matter what song we get at this point, with these people we can kill any song"
Xingjie scheming because he now has his pick of dance teachers xD
When Zhangjing thanks the Nation's Producers for not making him Rap.
THIS. All of this (+ Zhangjing's witty one-liners, and how he FINALLY made it into the Top 9!)
I'm settled 1 pick for Xukun everyday. For the other 1 pick i distribute between Ruibin, Ziyi, Jeffrey and Feitong.
Despite whatever rank they get, ijust hope all trainee got all the experience, knowledge, connection / friends, exposure, and enjoy the process.
I'm sure they all gained something from this show. Whether motivation or confidence that build up thru this show.
Exactly this.

can anyone explain already what did ling chao do?
​ My Mandarin isn't the best but during one part of his speech after he got into the Top 9, he mentions that he has a different thing to say compared to other trainees, which is that he feels that he doesn't quite enjoy/like the competition anymore because he feels that things are getting a bit more cold-hearted with all the eliminations. And he was also thinking that the 12 people in a team getting shaved down to 7 for the next performance, and he's afraid to think about that too (I think it's implied that he will also miss the other trainees in the team since they worked so hard together for some to leave halfway without being able to perform). He then asked the trainees to treasure the others around them.
Yixing sort of corrected him by reminding him that it's a competition and that there will always be sad parts, and that no matter what the circumstances, he has to keep working hard to be deserving of the votes that he's receiving.
@Xing4U, yeah, he probably is physically and emotionally exhausted. I hope he doesn't get backlash too.

and now he's got me worried, he's right tho, the recent episodes the atmosphere doesn't feel the same anymore, ik it's cause of eliminations but during the happier times it's easy to forget that they're all in a competition and one by one they'll leave.
Oh, I do agree with what he said, just wish he worded it differently. :(
I hope his friends on the show (esp his brothers in Qin's Ent) will look after him and continue to look after him. I'm just worried about the backlash he might potentially get because people might turn against him for telling the truth and that isn't good for his emotional well-being either. :/ I'm so glad their mobile phones are confiscated and the trainees have no access to social media.

Also much sobbing when
Zuo Ye didn't make it into the Top 35 by a hair and Qin Fen + Han Mubo were crying. Mubo crying out loud made me so sad. The OACA boy. ;_______;

Poor Didi. He was so obviously affected. His other Qin's Ent teammates looked very worried for him too.

Finished watching, can't really recall that much I'm an emotional mess.
- Looks like the spoilers were pretty much spot on
- Bangbang left *cryingmyeyesout* the thing is, he could've been so much more popular if he ever even tried to get screentime. He never tried.
- Leilei is damn strong! He lifted grown men like they weight nothing!!!
- You Zhangjing's one liners basically killed every one else's .
- I feel like given another week, the twins could actually get into Top 35. Is it a twin thing? they're basically almost always teamed together in everything.
- I feel like Ling Chao could get a little backlash for what he said. I hope not.
- I love Lin Chaoze, that copying thing I believe was an evil editing. If Yuehua can get three people in the final Top 9, I sure as hell believe Banana could get two in. Although I think it would be Li Yanjun I don't know why...
- That utter look of betrayal on Jackson's face when Zhu Xingjie said that he was a vocal lol
- Zhou Rui, that's not a wig.
- And Zuo Ye got a hug from Xukun!!! *goals*!!
Don't know what I will do with the 2 pick. Baby hamster will get one from me, I'm going crazy about the other one.
Dong Yanlei deserves better. No one could ever say that he didn't work his damn hardest in this competition. It breaks my heart because you can see that it got to him, it's in his eyes.
Me too. Bawling so much, and just when I thought I had stopped, I'd reach for another tissue and begin again.
To reply to you:
- You Zhangjing is hilarious. His one-liners are spot on lol.
- I hope Ling Chao won't receive too much backlash either. He obviously was very affected by the eliminations, and he definitely worded it wrongly. Yixing was in damage-control mode, and I hope that helps lessen backlash.
- Jackson's face! Hahahah. But man. Zhu Xingjie is so talented that it feels wrong to box him into one category when he raps well, sings well, dances well and can perform magic hahaha.
- I had hoped... but Zhou Rui is still Pretty!Rui
You can vote Ziyi! *shameless plug*

I didn't expect Dong Yanlei would make me cry (Luo Zheng's speech made me cry. People need to stop sleeping on him too - he's quiet but really good). Like you said, Leilei really has been affected what everyone said, but he worked so hard, so I'm glad the boys acknowledge and respect that. And he still kept a happy front, and sincerely congratulated the others for making the top 35. I really respect that.
I cried at the end too, when the other trainees who didn't make the top 35 spoke. It was just so sad.
And Xukun crying made me cry too. He really worked very hard with the second 'Dream' team, and he saw how hard they worked.
I didn't expect Bu Fan to fall out of the Top 9, but I'm glad Zhangjing is finally thereeee! (And the ending scene of Zhangjing teaching watchers how to make that dish was hilarious.
Also, a big THANK YOU to iQiyi and the editors of this ep for the (more) generous (than usual) screentime for Ziyi. <3

I didn't understand this action honestly, they are the dancer of the team, if they leave for the other will be even slower learning the choreo, they were helping a lot
Warning: Long post ahead! Spoilery! TLDR at the end if you want to skip everything
Hmmm. Watching the ep, they divided the 12 members in the group who got 'Dream' into two teams, with only 7 that can remain to perform the song once eliminations had occurred. The Yuehua boys + Xingjie were in one team, while Xukun and Ziyi were in a team with some of the lower ranked boys and had to help out with teaching the dance, etc. During the evaluation with Jackson, Jackson observed that the other members were less confident in themselves, and this impaired their performance compared to the first team.
My understanding is that post eliminations, since the two teams would merge into one, if there were any lower-ranking boys that remained (and in case of too many people in a group, where it exceeds 7 people), Zikun would offer themselves to leave so that the other boys in their current team wouldn't have to go through so much anxiety relearning choreography and steps since Zikun could learn more quickly. I don't think this would impair the learning of the choreo for the other trainees since the first team with the Yuehua boys (including Ding Zeren) is quite solid, plus the trainees who struggled with the choreo in the second team would be able to stay on and get help from the first team once they've merged. Of course, if they had enough people in the group post-eliminations, they wouldn't have left anyway.
Based on some convos/spoilers, Zikun pulled all-nighters to fit in their new teams - apparently Xukun only slept at 9am in the days leading to the performance, and Ziyi as a rapper was put in group 2, which is very vocals-based (he's mostly a rapper, as far as I know).
So that's why I think Zikun were very kind and generous by doing this. They didn't have to, but they did, and they ensured that the team would be able to function well if they left, taking into consideration the other trainees as well. I know there has been talk on Twitter about Xukun being 'ungrateful' to his supporters for leaving the song they chose for him, but this episode explained it, and I personally felt that he wasn't being ungrateful at all but very, very kind and thoughtful.
Tldr; Zikun would only leave if there were too many people in the group post eliminations, and this wouldn't affect the group overall but themselves since they would have to relearn everything while the other trainees in the 'Dream' team would still receive a lot of support especially from the first group (Yuehua incl Ding Zeren, Zhu Xingjie).
Hope this clears up everything!

[iQIYI Show] Idol Producer Official Thread
in Variety Shows
Posted · Edited by greyyy693
Apparently so.
Plus Xingjie and Xiao Gui were previously on iQiyi's Rap of China so they probably received screen time because of that too.
Ruibin looking good. :D
