- one of the few survival shows that i would actually recommend

- this survival show has changed lives 

- gang is the best stage on the show; the girls who get it, get it

- faves: junhyeon, gunwook, taerae, kamden, dongyeol and hwanhee (u10t), yedam, haruto, takuto

- reason #1 why you should watch this show: zzn

- reason #2: fireman and transform

- faves: zhou zhennan, lu siheng, zhao lei

- pretend that ak lz doesn't exist and you are good

- this is where my history with chinese survival shows started

- the concept is very different but i must say this show had some of the craziest jaw-dropping performances (naicha's group devoured)

- faves: fanfan and his entire group, huadi, xunlun, jacob, wang di, pinlin, aj,  haolian

- btw the fans of this show were SO SCAMMED (the 2 groups that came out of it never even promoted together basically)

- the chanelle hype is there for a reason

- good participants but overall a bad show 

- faves: chanelle, minju, jiwoo, moa, jongeun

- nct: the survival show

- the best trainee is in the debut lineup but he never ends up actually debuting 

- faves: jungmin, ryu

- jypapi is a hater AGAIN but what's new 

- sometimes it's boring to watch but i really like the trainees

- faves: nina, maya, akari, riku, rio, miihi

- the debuted group is really good tbh i have to give it to jypapi

- jypapi is being a hater here

- funny af i laughed a lot tbh, everyone is so funny

- faves: yuu, ken, yuhi,  sodai

- continuation of part 1 

- everyone is suddenly so good??

- the debuted group is amazing 

- an abomination of a show, might be the worst i have ever seen

- try not to cringe every 2 minutes challenge impossible 

- faves: all of CSR, akina, wang ke, xueyao, praew, liliana li

- way better than s1 thank god 

- rankings are infuriating 

- faves: david, kk, omar, koshin, maison b, racebace

- this is supposed to be the 2nd season of i-land but the group isn't even debuting in hybe so??? it's a collab show between wakeone and yg

- half of the participants probably got traumatised by this show cuz like why are they getting so much hate from the mentors 

- faves: sujung, mai, yuju, jeemin, gyuri

- honestly? 3 episodes in and i already know every participant very well

- faves: junpyo, yuseop, yundeok, gihyeon, miraku, minjae

- WE ARE SO BACK

- outstanding participants that create outstanding stages

- faves: quanzhe, liang shiyu (all of BOYHOOD), all of ENONE (yitian <3) 

- survival show in the literal sense (not really but kinda)

- problematic for a lot of people but it's actually one of my favourite shows unironically, it's so good

- faves: sunghyuk, gunwook, changsun, taehoon, jaejun, ayno, kangmin, trainee 14 (na kamden), jaechan

- faves: fuma, gaku

- this is a survival show between already established groups a little similar to all for one

- every episode is new stages with new songs and the groups shuffle their members

- faves: babymint 

- chanmina's survival show

- unique contestants 

- faves: momoka, naoko

- this show could've cimented itself as one of the absolute best of all survival shows if they had a lineup that made any sense at all

- no literally the lineup is so atrociously bad 

- faves: kyuhyun, yonghoon, jiyong, jo minjae, bomin, taegeon, wonbin

- context for the lineup: not a single non-korean made it; jiyong who carried the entire show didn't debut either (apparently because knetz didn't like his visuals); a problematic trainee was in the lineup and had to leave after the finale (he was last in popularity vote) 

- the concept is very different and fun

- good participants, good stages, almost no eliminations, good mentors, great debut lineup i loved this experience

- faves: team groove <3, park han, juwon, joohyung, kyung ho, kairi, jeong woo, kenta, jiang fan, he junjin

- so uhhh this show has actual torture in it

- there's this one debut member that i didn't even know existed until they literally announced him I CANNOT MAKE THIS SHIT UP who tf is xu shihuan

- faves: bae173, fantasy boys, shao ziheng, han jeongwoo, dxx, liu guanyou, junhyuk, xilong

- the debuted group literally has like 1 vocalist, the lineup is atrocious 

- visuals over talent

- faves: ahn junwon, lee hanbin, kang minseo, sihun, junseo, minwook, kenshin, abe yura, kang hyunwoo, kim hyunwoo, nam jiwoon

- i hate the judges so much

- this show doesn't serve any purpose besides torturing gaku

- faves: gaku, yuju, kyosuke, shin

- crickets 

- does anybody even like this show

- faves: andrew han, vrvr, harry june, boystory, lee hyeop, junseo, jiang fan

- i remember it being soooo difficult to find the episodes for this show
