  1. Tbh smart move. Save the money to invest to Sunnee directly, not give away to a third party working directly against Sunnee's best interests. Rocket Girls seems more or less confirmed, just dunno if that weibo account is real though
  2. Never been happier to eat my words. Yay at Zixuan #7! I'm not relaxed yet though she's not safe until final ep official announcements. Unfortunate for Sunnee, feels like 98% already determined that she's not making the group. Also Fujing shouldn't have dropped, I think Renyu should be above Mengjie. Ya'll the devil... I've still got some self restraint in me lol, I've got a test in a month that I should actually be studying for Seems the account was created in 2015 though which is questionable.
  3. Of course I'd love to see it happen. But imo no way. IOI reunites, people will only say, such a shame for them to disband. It will increase everyone's desire to see IOI as a permanent group, decrease any momentum there is behind the side groups.
  4. Very unfortunate. Nope not watching PD48, trying to save myself the emotional investment but we'll see if I can stay away or not.. I think the so called "rigging" of giving certain contestants good screen time is for the most part reasonable. It's a show and the intention is to provide entertainment. The production crew will naturally air scenes that were entertaining, so certain contestants will get more screen time than others. You can consider it as the show pushing its faves, but their faves are favorites because they have the most interesting footage, not necessarily because of a personal bias.
  5. I think on the surface show producers have created the image that this show's end goal is to produce a strong Chinese girl group which has been absent in c-ent for years. Under the surface really they just want to make bank, but possibly they do want to fulfill the first goal as well. From the mentors, I get the feeling that they really are investing to try to create a girl group and want to see the continued growth of that girl group after the show ends. There was an interview clip of Show that I watched and he talked about how previous Chinese shows like this were disappointing because there was no plans or continuation for the girls that won. If the management company is serious about promoting this group and giving them material, the biggest challenge will be the direction of the music. No such thing as present day mainstream girl group sound in c-ent. Last time it existed was S.H.E, that's why the 2 original songs that will be performed in the finale sound outdated from S.H.E's era. Sunnee's numbers have remained strong and consistent since the start. Tencent artificially creating a gradual drop so it's not suspicious to cut her out of the lineup.
  6. They still record eliminations, but yeah still cut and dry.. Nah, Jonghyun and Wangju's situation totally different. Jonghyun was one of the most popular contestants throughout the show, everyone just assumed he's safe for debut and voted to save their other faves that they were worried about, and he ended up not making it. Wangju was like a viral meme and non-viewers suddenly were pulled into the craze to vote for her. In actuality, it was a period of about a week that she was about #2 rank. The episodes were just aired over the course of 2 weeks.
  7. As far as talent, I think it's about the same but K version they were more polished. They were better dancers on the Korean version though, but also at the same time I don't think the dance stages on the Chinese version were the best at showing their ability.
  8. No offence, but Yandi's fans I would take newest rank with a grain of salt. Her numbers be it fans or cards are not especially high. Possibly she's up to rank 13 because Tencent is busy pushing other girls rankings down to get their fans to spend more money. I don't have much expectation for the management of the final group or their music. But I'm still desperate for Zixuan to get in because it's the best chance in c-ent since ever for a girl to have a career in the idol field.
  9. Probably just alternating different girls to drop down to squeeze money out of fans. There's light! Zixuan finally moving. My guess, Zixuan won't break into top 11 before the final ep. We'll see..
  10. Meiyun fans have a running analysis of numbers looking at several variables including cards bought, Doki fans, weibo fans, and some other factors I don't understand. Saw this screenshot on weibo, someone lined those numbers up compared to their official rank. Interesting to look at. The rows are listed in the order of the most recent rank revealed yesterday. Per the number crunch from Meiyun fans using those factors I mentioned, order is 1. Meiqi 2. Xuanyi 3. Sunnee 4. Chaoyue 5. Meiyun 6. Zixuan 7. Fujing 8. ? 9. Renyu 10. Zining 11. Wangju 12. Aojuan 13. Mengjie 14. Yingxi 15. Yamy 16. Ziting 17. ? 18. ? 19. Qiuzi Not sure where 8, 17, 18 went. Esp 8, can't imagine who else could place 8 that's not in the list already
  11. Never joined any idol voting before either, and here I am cashing out for Zixuan. Not in the least surprised with these 9. But why is Tencent doing things like this and the daily rankings, it will take air out of their sails for final ranking announcement. Anyways, if Tencent were a decent person the other 2 would be Sunnee and Zixuan. I think Tencent has made their stance on Sunnee clear though, so at best I'll just hope for Zixuan and Renyu. Not a great way to measure. The difference in official rank and other indicators should supposedly be due to casual viewers/voters. We can gauge casual public interest in them by checking streaming views of the group/individual cam performances, their weibo trends, etc and have a general idea of how memorable and likable they are for casual viewers.
  12. Sunnee- her company got into it with Tencent, what an idiotic move, Sunnee was a sure thing from the start, would have continued to be a sure thing despite cut screentime if Tencent kept their hands out of the pot. Zixuan- You got me. Best I can think/hope for is that Tencent is dramaticizing rankings so that they can have a good story of Zixuan's rise to debut against the odds. It's been a perplexing ride for Zixuan fans given all of the positive editing and good screentime Tencent gives Zixuan only to push down her ranking. Additionally Tencent can reap the excess money fans will spend by thinking their faves are in a dangerous spot. Or her company and Tencent are also at odds, unlikely though given Zixuan's good edits. By all indicators, both Sunnee and Zixuan should be within top 11.
  13. I think actually more than that.. And Xuanyi fans have raised about the same or more. It's insane
  14. No Zixuan no go. I can't believe how much of a dick Tencent is being to Sunnee and Zixuan right now. Scratch that, I can believe it, I'm just so mad...
  15. Some Meiqi x Zixuan. These two are my fave! More in spoiler
  16. Apparently they will be revealing current ranking at 12pm daily now. So yeah, I'm gonna check in about 7hr from now and see how this pans out. I don't know how they plan to reveal the final ranking in the ep then if they're revealing ranking daily like this in the few days leading up to final ep.
  17. What's everyone's ideal top 11 lineup? Mine, no particular order Zixuan Meiqi - center Xuanyi Fujing Sunnee Yamy Zining Aojuan Meiyun Renyu Mengjie Ziting, Lucia, Kimberly, Angela form a power vocal group.
  18. Kimberly was never so much popular as she was just one of the most recognizable contestants prior to the show. As viewers got to know other contestants, people changed their votes. Unfortunate because I think Kimberly is the best singer, but she doesn't have that stannable quality to her, plus was missing from screen so much. Being in the show has definitely proved her talent though, hope her future works will garner more attention/success. Lol, kazed and I just talked about that. Tencent please debut this lineup!!! But unlikely bc no Mimi. Tbh I'd be happy to see Mengjie in final lineup as well.
  19. Just finished ep 9. It's edition #673 of everybody loves Zixuan, anyone who enjoys can look forward to those parts. Lots of mushy moments, chat with Huangbo where they talk about how they feel, elimination (continuing the cut and dry style), and then dinner and watching video messages sent by family/friends. Tencent trying to properly set our emotions up before the final elims. Chaoyue, Qiuzi, Zixuan, Wangju, Mengjie, Sunnee all have touching moments.
  20. I can make peace with her downward trajectory, but to 23 or even 17 is a stretch. Tencent stirring the pot trying to mix in some drama or to earn that extra cash.
  21. Unlikely, but she's among the handful that have a chance.
  22. Crowdfunding battles are going crazy. The latest compilation ranking: 1. Meiqi 2. Xuanyi 3. Sunnee 4. Chaoyue 5. Meiyun 6. Zining 7. Zixuan 8. Fujing 9. Renyu 10. Mengjie 11. Yihan 12. Yingxi 13. Ziting 14. Aojuan 15. Yamy 16. Qiuzi 17. Wangju In actuality Zixuan's amount less because fans spent a good portion to get her to top 22. Several have yet to join these friendly PKs, so their numbers aren't very good. Battling really really will work wonders if there's a big enough fanbase to support. Zixuan's main fan support was initially resistant to the idea but after listening to lots of opinions went ahead to join a PK battle against Zining fans yesterday. They gathered 150k within an hour, by the end of 24 hrs, total raised around 470k 690k. YES! Practically any contestant on the show and I can recall Zixuan having interaction with them. She's sometimes described as å›¢å® , basically meaning the whole group spoils/loves Zixuan. Or with how infectious her accent is, contestants and fans alike are slowly being influenced to sound like Zixuan lol. People joke that by the end P101 will produce a group all with her accent. Recent fan taken vid of Fujing, Xuanyi, Zixuan walking back to dorms. @ 3:20 Xuanyi says, hurry and vote for Fujing and Douzi. Save my kids! https://weibo.com/tv/v/GlxDWpScg?fid=1034:de81326b929aecd482730c8e716db0af Tbh I think Zixuan's fan support could strategically build good relations with those fandoms of girls she gets along well with. For example, Xuanyi Fujing and Zixuan are all aiming for different rankings within the group, fans could help each other without hurting their bias' chances. And there are many fans of the dorm line- Aojuan, Meiyun, Zixuan (Qianying), Zixuan shouldn't be in direct competition with their rankings either.
  23. No thx lol, as a non boy group stan, I would have gotten so annoyed.
  24. Downright urban legend from my pov, lol. Still can't believe the stuff that went down
