Only one surprise: Shen made it into the group instead of Ninja.

I'm happy that #HuYetao made it into the group (well it wasn't in much doubt) but sad that he didn't get the centre position that he wanted.

It seemed like #Dorn might have been genuinely upset that Hu Yetao didn't get centre. Dorn seems to be really focused on the people around him, wanting them to do well and get what they want to be happy and thrive. I don't think his own position is as important to him.

#ThiO is wonderful too but he's more of a soloist and not as familiar with working with a group.

Dorn is going to make a great leader I think.

1. Dorn
2. Thi-O

The debut group I want:

4. Peanut
5. #Xiong
6. #Wuxun
7. #Aguang

The debut group I think they'll give us:
1. Dorn
2. Hu Yetao
3. Thi-O
4. Xiong
5. Omar
6. Ninja
7. #YaoZihao

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").
