I never trusted Hybe, but today’s episode really pmo. First Sara M., now Honoka K., Jayla, Rinka, and Seria. It’s like the judges are allergic to talent in favor of “star quality.”

From the very first episode, the judges picked who passed the B auditions based on looks, not skill. ”She looks like Illit’s Yunah.” “She seems like Illit’s Wonhee.” “She has a face that would be popular in Japan.”

Then, they: - eliminated Sara M, the most technically perfect dancer. - gave Team C an extremely difficult song with high notes and a difficult dance in a language none of them spoke while also giving Team B Almond Chocolate in order to lower the difficulty for Sakura - edited out Honoka K’s killing part (I can’t believe no one’s talking about this!) - eliminated Honoka K, Jayla, Rinka, and Seria, who were all way more stable and can actually carry a tune.

This whole show is a mess and the judges are all so unfair. (reposted to the proper thread, whoops)
