R U Next? Episode 2 "Higher and Farther"
🕑 Added 2023-07-07 18:31:51 +0000 UTCI'm not sure if I enjoy the system of having 2 units fight each other in the same performance because that kinda affects the full performance. Both units are training separately, being very competitive and taking advantage of others' lack of eloquence and confidence which leads to the performance not feeling as satisfying as it could be.
I understand what matters at the end of the day are the unit scores which are affected by the individual scores but I want to watch amazing performances that do justice to the original song/perf. I want the whole thing to feel cohesive which the Fearless performance didn't deliver imo. It was decent and part of it was thanks to Hyewon but it could've been so much more if they promoted teamwork better by having 2 Fearless performances and seeing the trainees chemistry together and how they might be when they debut instead of focusing only on the competitiveness.
Also this episode was so short and it felt like they were rushing some stuff? We didn't even get to see "When I move" performance from round 1!! Voting for round 2 started but we've only seen 1 perf out of 3. Aren't the other ones at a disadvantage?

Ikr! The editing sometimes spoils it because they show only praise for 2 trainees and the 3rd one gets criticized so when they announce who's mid then it's obvious who's high / low

Minju getting picked mid so the suspense was on 1vs2 for high/low was the most predictable plot line of all time lol

I haven't been spoiled yet. But I'm also not surprised that's the case just from watching the show. The editing and not showing us performances or pulling focus on a particular member. What they should've done is just let the judges do just that and have them pick the members. Since this is CLEARLY predetermined. But I'm going to keep on watching.

Yes! the final group will have 6 members unless they pull a surprise and add another one at the end. It is weird how they are making us vote for only 3, that's so annoying! I've also heard a lot of trainees got eliminated few days ago and now we might be voting for some who already got kicked out 🙄

I'm not sure why they are forcing us to vote for only 3. I did Chanelle, Moka and Hyewon because I'm worried that they might get eliminated before we see their full potential. Youngseo should be safe because she's so popular and predictions are in her favor to be high. I've heard there is a lot of trainees who got eliminated already and we might be voting to some of them who already got eliminated. This whole voting system is weird because they started a week before the show so it was based on visuals?! Now we are voting "supposedly" for round 2 but some of them already got eliminated so what's the point?! Does Belift and Hybe already have a final line-up in mind and this whole thing is scripted? I got spoiled by the way on who got kicked out... 😮💨

Yeah. agree with everything and voting round 2 is so weird we can vote for only 3, There's 6 people in this group, aren't there?

Yea, to everything that you said. I was thrown cause I said to myself. Wait, what about where we left off at? So we don't get to see them? Even for the killing parts, we didn't even see it! Saving time, I guess. Besides, killing functions don't mean you can't leave an impression. I know people don't like Mnet SS cause blah blah and blah blah. Me I find it funny and entertaining, but at least we get to see the performances as a single group and not this wired battle. Another thing is that I'm not a sucker for the sappy stories. Ruka was supposed to be part of Le Sserafim, so they pulled the focus on her and gave her most of the screen time. She is good, but seriously Haseul grabbed me in that performance. They did the same thing with Minju. And she grabbed me right away. Outside of that, I'm still enjoying the show. My locked-in picks are Youngseo, Yunah, and Minju. Why only 3 🤷🏻. One I'm keeping an eye on is. Moa, Hyewon, Iroha, Wonhee, Moka, Chanelle, and Jeemin.
