I-Land 2 Ep 5

I got spoiled yesterday on a member that makes it into the final lineup but I'm not too mad because I felt like that contestant was locked in pretty early on honestly. I was surprised to see Juwon up for elimination, I thought she killed the My Bag/Eve, Psyche & The Bluebeard's Wife cover. In fact I felt the opposite of what they mentioned about Koko. I personally think Koko sticks out too much with her height and my eyes subconsciously want to focus on the other performers around her which causes her to fade into the background for me. Mai was slowly climbing up my personal rankings and she really shot towards the top this episode with her leadership skills, really sucks that despite clutching the win she lost her members in the end. I get what the producer's were saying about Sujung. I think one of the hardest things about being a professional in any field you're trying to prove yourself in, is trying to show what you're capable of without making it seem like you're just showing others what they want to see. I interviewed a candidate for a leadership position at my job recently, and while they answered very confidently, it just seemed like he was telling me what I wanted to hear. He ended up losing out on the position to someone else for a few reasons, but part of it was that his answers to my questions were very sterile/textbook. It's something really hard to overcome especially when people have high expectations for you. I think Sujung still did a good job, but the I-LAND team definitely deserved that win with the creativity and emotion put into it.

I also got slightly spoiled by Jongho of all people lol. He did a dance challenge with two of the members, but as Kev-o said above, they were members I thought would make it from the start. Still excited to see who else makes it.

Mai is my new favorite, she was sneaking in since that episode where she got a bad part and put such a brave face to make no one feel bad about it, and only climbed since then and that episode really cemented her for me. Fuko and Yuju are the other two that I'm really rooting for. Now, I still don't get how iland vocal team lost that round, even though ground did a great job with Eyes Nose and Lips, Fine was so much more of a duet to me, the harmonies were better, the technicality of the song was harder but they made it sound effortless and properly conveyed the emotions, and their chemistry was better, I was so confused. It felt like they judged it as Jiyoon vs Jungeun, and in that case I'd get it, but as duets, it felt too much like Jiyoon and back-up singer Munsol to me compared to Jungeun and Fuko being a more equal team.
