Looking at the results of the first vote, it confirms my expectation that #HuYetao, #Thi_O and #Dorn have a lock on the top 3 places.

Anyone else currently in the top 35 could still make it into the debut group if they have a couple of great performances and get some love and screen time from the producers.

Pray and #Shoya are outside chances and could still make it. Shoya keeps serving cunt every time and I don't want him to go, but it's possible the Chuang audience isn't yet ready for that level of cuntiness. Pray is cute and smart and now that I think about it, his story reminds me of Xiao Zhan (who also gave up his day job & decided to have a go at being an idol around the same age, 26 I think).

I might be on the verge of shipping Hu Yetao, #Yuchen and #YaoZihao as a triad, so I want Yetao's two boyfies to stay and keep him company of course.

Next week's stages will include covers of "Python" (GOT7) and "Mic Drop" (BTS) and oh nooo "When We Disco" by JYP omg whyyyyyy. Also some other songs that have names that are too widely used for me to be able to figure out who they're covering ("Crush", "Original", "I Dream"), and a Chinese song that I don't know ("Last Fireworks of the Summer Night").

#ChuangAsiaS2

My #ChuangAsiaS2 votes at the moment go to:

1. #HuYetao (prettiest princess)
2. #Thi_O (sunbeam, wonderful singer, makes me smile so wide)
3. #Shoya (fierce dancer who serves cunt) (the other trainees love him but he's mid-rank in the voting)
4. #Dorn (okay it took a few episodes but damn he's convinced me with the way he works the camera)
5. Pray (mostly because he's a cutie who vaguely reminds me of pre-debut Felix) (he needs a more hashtaggable name)
6. #Aguang (successful esports gamer with no idol training but who learns fast and is naturally charming)
7. #GouYi (choreographer and excellent dancer who is overlooked by most and almost certainly won't make it past the first elimination but I keep voting for him anyway)
