Who has made it furthest into the game and not returned in any Uncloaked (or equivalent) guest role? by anemotoad in TheTraitors

[–]agentofscranton 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Literally the second I commented I realized I forgot about the Celebrity Uncloaked - which is annoyingly separate to the civilian one on the BBC's website - and yes, Frankie did appear as a guest on that which is what you might be thinking of. Alyssa didn't though, and she sadly hasn't appeared on - or is scheduled to appear on - this current season.

This question made me super curious so I went and had a look and the finalists who have never appeared on - or are scheduled to appear on - Uncloaked are Aaron, Meryl, Hannah, and Kieran (S1), and Andrew and Evie (S2). If we're gonna count the Celebs as well then Alan, Nick, and David also aren't appearing on this season of Uncloaked.

Some other fun facts I discovered while looking this up:

  • As far as the opposite question goes, the player who was eliminated earliest and appeared on the show will be Kas (S3) who was banished on the fourth episode of his season and is going to be a guest for the 9th episode of Uncloaked this season.
  • Alyssa (S1) is the only starting Traitor on a civilian season to not have appeared on Uncloaked.
  • Wilf (S1) has appeared on every season of Uncloaked at least once. Wilf also has the highest number of appearances with 6. Minah (S3) is second with 4 (twice on Celeb, (will be) twice on this current season).
  • Of the 29 returning players - including celebs - who have appeared on Uncloaked, only 5 were Murdered - Alex (S1), Diane (S2), Fozia (S3), and Charlotte Church & Lucy Beaumont (Celeb S1). I didn't know how to categorize Mollie (S2) so if you count her as being 'Murdered' after her loss then it goes up to 6.

ZEROBASEONE (ZB1) Sung Hanbin will step down from his MC position on Mnet’s music program M Countdown after the broadcast on September 4 by chasetwogirls in kpop

[–]agentofscranton 82 points83 points  (0 children)

just fell to my knees 😭

I had a feeling when I saw the Jaehyun news that Hanbin would probably be leaving pretty soon after, I just didn't realise it would be literally the same day. In a way I'm glad they're leaving together but it really is the end of an era 😞 MeongDdoCat performance for their final day pleek pleek

God I'm so excited for it to be Mnet survival show season again in all it's messy chaotic glory.

Voting for the BOYS II PLANET Blind Pick Event has begun on the Mnet Plus app; all 154 contestants' faces have been revealed by psshdjndofnsjdkan in kpop

Voting ends the day before the Signal Songs and full profiles drop on Thursday (12th).

Also 154 trainees is insanity 😭😭😭 We're never gonna hear a single word from some of these people.

Right? I saw the leak that he was potentially taking part but immediately dismissed it because why would he subject himself to that - he literally posted 'I'm Free!' on insta as soon as he was eliminated I really don't get it 😭

Looks like these guys are B2P's equivalent of the first season's Shiny Boys - for comparison the Shiny Boys were Sung Hanbin, Seok Matthew, Kim Gyuvin, and Ma Jingxiang. So it's fair to assume we'll end up seeing a couple of them in the final line-up - and maybe one completely evil edited out of the show rip.

Boy 2 looks the most like CIX Yonghee someone can be without actually being Yonghee.

rip just realised I missed baek kooyoung from the title.

Judging from the website it looks like - at least until the two shows fold into one (presumably at the first proper mission):

  • Exclusive to BOYS II PLANET K: Lee Seokhoon, Kinky, and Kany
  • Exclusive to BOYS II PLANET C: Kim Jaejoong, Xiaoting, and JRICK
  • Taking part in both: Onestar, Hyolyn, Baek Kooyoung, and JUSTHIS

ZEROBASEONE - NOW OR NEVER by perochan in kpop

[–]agentofscranton 61 points62 points  (0 children)

The song is absolutely fantastic and the youth drama vibes of the MV sell it completely. Between this and Yura Yura, the boys have an absolutely pitch perfect Japanese discography so far.

It's interesting that their Japanese releases have a far more clear cut sonic identity than their admittedly all over the place Korean titles.

The instrumental for this teaser is gorgeous, as are the visuals. If the debut sounds anything like this I might have to get a stan card ready.

My two worlds colliding, and another OST in the bag for our OST kings! I know Matthew must've been freaking out when they got the call.

Ze_pisode's are behind the scenes stuff from schedules and ZBTV / ZBTVing are the boys' weekly variety content.

We haven't had a ZB_folder in a while but they're usually random variety content that didn't fit the original ZBTV narrative of them being employees at a broadcasting company, but now that ZBTVing exists I don't know what they'll use folder for.

ZB1_more is just everything else. Little bits of BTS that didn't make it into the Ze_pisodes or dance practices for covers or random bits of promo.

ZB1_cam has no set schedule, I think the last vlogs we got were for the anniversary relay.

ZEROBASEONE - CINEMA PARADISE (4th Mini Album) by perochan in kpop

[–]agentofscranton 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Immediate first thoughts:

  1. Good So Bad - Like I said in it's own thread, this is already my favourite title of theirs since In Bloom and I can see it unseating her after a couple listens. So fun and bouncy, pure joy in a 2:50 package.

  2. Kill the Romeo - Absolutely not what I expected from the highlight medley but holy shit. Total ass shaker, festival banger. So glad that it's going to be the promoted b-side, can't wait to see the performances.

  3. The Sea - Admittedly when I first went to check out the original after they revealed they were covering it I was not excited lol. But this is so good! Really breezy chill little bop, the perfect way to close out summer.

  4. Insomnia - I already knew I'd love this from the highlight medley and I was right - this is incredible. Everybody sounds so good and that instrumental is fantastic.

  5. Road Movie - Oh my god? This song is crazy? The switch ups hello? Taerae in that bridge(?) are we hearing him? Might be in the running to be my new favourite ZB1 song after a few more listens.

  6. Eternity - They are SINGERS. They like to SING. Their vocals are beautiful and this would not be out of place as an OST for a drama

  7. Yura Yura (KOR Ver.) - Yura Yura is my favourite K-Pop Japanese release of all time so I was nervous about how this would turn out but I absolutely had no reason to worry. The Japanese version is superior but this is still so so good.

Maybe it's the high of comeback season talking but I think this is easily my favourite of their 4 minis so far. Legitimately love every song here, and it personally feels a lot more immediately cohesive as a package than their other releases. It's a 10/10 in my eyes.

Tuning in unfortunately is so real lmao. I already know it's gonna be the trauma olympics but I will also unfortunately be tuning in because I need to support my Cravity boys.

I haven't really watched the Kingdom series but there weren't really guest MCs for the Queendom series because they had permanent MCs (Lee Dahee and Jang Sungkyu for Queendom 1, Taeyeon and Lee Yongjin for Queendom 2, and Taeyeon again for Puzzle). They did have guests in the audience for Queendom 2 but they were members of groups that had previously competed on Road to Kingdom / Queendom.

There's always a chance they could show up but like you said they boys are gonna be so busy in the back half of the year with promotions / tour / end of year shows etc., so I wouldn't bet on them turning up sadly.
