Quick WSWF rant... HEAVY SPOILERS!

I can't believe that my second post is already a rant but I can't hold it in anymore. 


If MNET really wanted to rig the show this much, they could've made it less obvious. Instead, they chose to eliminate the two who did ONE OF the best jobs during their respective challenges. RF's kpop choreo mission was BOMB. It was so good, BUT again, it WAS recycled choreo. And yes, I know there's rumors that they had contracts that forced them to reuse choreo, but that's for another time. Looking past that, they had so many moments past the recycled choreo that was still so good(gosh why couldn't they just actually make choreo?? they're so talented!). Their performance would've been #1 for me, but too much of it was reused for a "choreo" mission. The two that were lacking here were Bumsup and RHTokyo! I was so damn hyped for Bumsup seeing that they were like the avengers of SWF, but THAT was what they came out with? I was anticipating during their ENTIRE performance but the "wow" moment never came. Their energy was so flat... And RHTokyo wasn't as bad with their energy but man, for the crew that was labelled with having the best teamwork, their energy was NOT matching each other.. TOT Gosh that one move with their arms... IMO, they should've been put in the chopping block because OJO and RF were NOWHERE near as bad...

NEXT ELIM! Most undeserved by far. I postponed watching this ep(totally not because I have like 3 overdue assignments) because someone told me beforehand who the bottom two were. The bottom two... were the two who showed their cultural identity best. The rules were: 1. Minimum 30-40 dancers  2. Include a high angle shot  3. Express your nation's identity... now all these bumsup glazers were making up all sorts of excuses to discredit AGsquad and RHTokyo of the masterpieces they made saying that oh "it's too much like a music video"... But then one of the judges' COMPLIMENTS for one of the higher scored videos was that "it looked like a movie"? Are we serious right now? Sorry those two actually SHOWED their land and their nation's identity through better cinematography? Are we asking for another bland ass mega crew filmed in another warehouse? I kid you not, as much as I loved the past 2 seasons, I BARELY remember any of their mega crews because half of them were in the same warehouse looking studio and everyone wore the same clothes. It's all blending together, BUT Motiv, Ag, and RHTokyo STOOD OUT. I REMEMBER them. You could give me the video itself, no description, no name of crew or where they're from and I would KNOW what nation they were representing in one watch. But no, they decided that OJO's crew was better all because they had TWICE in it. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Twice, but what did them being in their mega crew show about Osaka? That kpop is popular? Guess what? It's popular everywhere! Honestly, if they had JUST taken Momo, their sister reunion would've been so much more impactful! But with all the other members, even the non-Japanese girls, it just felt so obviously gimmicky and for the views. Not to mention that they are IDOLS, they aren't on the crew's level of dancing, and in result, their section didn't even feel impactful past their cameo since the choreo was honestly just too simple. Now this doesn't discredit the rest of their video tho. The fan culture and lightsticks part was pretty cool! Getting like what? 100+ people to synchronize their dance, hell, their WAACKING, is crazy impressive. OJO just really lacked in the national identity part a bit. 


Same topic but I'm starting a new paragraph so this doesn't look convoluted. AAAnd i need a breather lol. OKAY. 1MILLION... oh I mean uh... BUMSUP! haha. yeah. People want to talk about RHTokyo using cinematography "too much" but when it comes to Bumsup using props and costume that were SO similar to a past mega crew, no one bats an eye? I have NOTHING wrong against props, as long as the overall result relies on actual movement, but it feels wrong that they were allowed to even regurgitate such a similar look, AND be praised by the crew leader whose look was regurgitated herself. It was a very good video(like OJO they also needed to sync up like 100+ dancers. Wild impressive) and I know it's a completely different story(from 1million) but could they have not materialized it differently, KNOWING that a similar one JUST came out last season? It's a sick concept as well, but it feels so unfair knowing that all the other crews had to fly back home and had less time to produce their mega crews, MEANWHILE Bumsup had that time to create something new that would excite us, need not I remind the hype everyone had seeing that lineup? Hell, they had a FORMER JUDGE and a WINNING LEADER! It just feels inexcusable. I feel like there were so many other ways to execute the story Honey J was going for but they settled for a recycled concept, I can't excuse that. Their crazy precise blocking would've been MORE than enough to impress everyone, I don't even think they needed the hats!


I'm not exactly hating on these teams, I'm pointing out their flaws to highlight how undeserved some of the recent rankings has been. If the YouTube voters don't start acting straight, gosh... I'm gonna go bald by the end of this show! 

I wonder what you guys think of WSWF so far?
