Human hot pot
On the beginning I wanna say i really like watching this type of survival shows; I find them inspiring and motivating. I got to know new faces, new songs, new dance styles - you name it. I've watched everything from Show me the money and Chuang 2019 to B: My Boyz. But I've never in my life seen something so ridiculous pretending to play it fair square and cool. Who are you trying to fool, Mnet?First two episodes were somehow a good watch, funny and thrilling. I get it, fit all 160 trainees in seems almost impossible, so you didn't show all of them . Is it fair towards the trainees? Absolutely not, maybe the show shouldn't start with this huge amount to begin with -
After 2nd episode things started to go south, some of the C trainees dropped out (also my picks). It seemed surprising , then the news appeared that the C Planet was not supposed to merge 2gether with K Planet. There were supposed to be two separate shows with two separate debuting groups -
Never mind, what happened, happened - K and C are now together and K trainees are obviously "the God's favourite". C trainees are bullied for not speaking Korean enough, they are evil edited even evil styled (who would dress up a performing trainee into a t-shirt which is saying "shaky, insecure, ... etc. in BIG letters?!) .
As the show goes on I am forced to watch how the light is disappearing from their starry eyes. This show is not a survival show anymore. IT'S A HORROR SHOW. Every new episode gets my heart racing - but not with a thrill, it's a panic attack. These trainees are used and abused for rising numbers of views (money). Their faces in agony are plastered over YouTube thumbnails. Absolutely no-one believes that this show is not rigged. The debuting group was already decided on the very beginning - if not with votes, than the editing, comments and screen time in favour of particular trainees will do it all -
*I am currently skipping through the episodes (as I am constantly finding new gems which were hidden from us) and I cannot describe how big is my surprise to see planet C trainees in episode 4 when they dropped out even before the 1st C episode officially aired. And what's more, they are being shamed (on national tv ... ) even though they dropped out - like couldn't mnet at least cut their suffering out? or is it funny to them? well not to me -

Pretty Boy II
It is amazing how many talented people there are in this world. Saying that these kinda picking members shows are very enlightening -- some of the contestents come in horrible and somehow become awesome to watch -- It really goes to show talent can only get you so far the rest is how you connect with the audience -- not to mention the makers of these shows no exactly how to exploit all these PrettyBoys afterall it is happening in every Kpop group right now & it has been the formula always So lets see how long it takes for the Fans or lack of to tear down this group as they have with every other groupToxic Toxic Toxic these shows just play into the audiences Toxicity -- I feel sorry for the contestants -- & then maybe not cause they all want Fame Money & someone to Idolize them

Why Fix What Wasn't Broken?
I absolutely LOVED BP1. I can't count the number of times I watched this survival show. I didn't want this show to end. It wasn't perfect, but was the most perfect survival show I have seen. I was invested and dedicated to every boy on this show. We saw their sweet side, funny side, compassionate side and brotherly love side. Now let's discuss BP2. Almost every aspect of this show is wrong. From show casing every boy to the public and then to eliminating before the actual show, there were so many boys that it was actually ridiculous. They changed from having two boy bands simultaneously (one from China and one from Korea) to just having one boy band. They complicated the entire beginning confusing and upsetting many fans. Probably staff members were ultimately cut loose very early on and lost pay plus opportunities. Why couldn't they follow in the footsteps of BP1? Start with pre picked boys, audition them on TV, start the program song, add or subtract stars, start stages, let fans vote fearlessly, eliminate lower voted boys, have another stage, vote, eliminate, etc. what a cluster f#*@! BP2 has become. I am so disappointed on how this show is being produced, I have lost interest. What a shame to have a successful footprint ignored and a bunch of fruit loop ideas ruin some boy's future. I will bet there will be no successful debut like ZB1 has had. Darn shame!Was this review helpful to you?
