i just fell to my knees

Kiara

OH MY GOD

Leilah

Idk why but not seeing you makes the commentary funnier😭😭 just hooting and hollering from the void

Darkqueen

Honestly, listening without the visuals makes this experience funnier lol. In the Netflix documentary Popstar Academy, they explain that some girls such as Sophia had been with the program since the beginning so about 2 years before the Dream Academy started, so it had been awhile for some of the girls.

loontan

ok this commentary is actually frying me LMAOOO

mar

YOU'RE KIDDING

Janae S

This reminds me of watching the commentary version of movies on DVDs

maitê

not seeing your faces lowkey makes this so much funnier im actually crying rn

Auburn

I'm sorry. I can't pay attention. Every time Lara smiles, all I can do is giggle

Jonjal

I'm glad y'all are not watching the finale because it was the most nothing burger waste of time.

Alex P

I'm only going to be sad about the loss of video if RJ does his Bang PD impression during this

jinx

fyi the wannabe team was actually supposed to be 5 people but someone left the show last minute 🫢

Eleonora

Watching this with only your commentary feels like watching eurovision

emma

LOL

CrypticP

RIP to your SD card, she will be missed 🕊️

Jonjal

So initially the contestants were just training under HYBE America without the thought they were gonna be on a survival show. Not all of the girls trained at the same time. Some where cast for the survival show while others were training for a year or two. It was only 2 weeks before the show started that they were told that they weren't debuting normally but instead had to go through a survival show format.

Inoue

Adéla is now a soloist. Had three songs without a representation but recently got signed by Capitol Records.

Jonjal

Adela makes music for gay people. Everyone should give her a listen to especially during pride month.

I'm wondering if you thought Manon would have a French accent because of her name? She does in fact not speak French. Most people in Switzerland speak Swiss-German. There are parts of Switzerland that speak French or Italian though.

Gurlies, it took me so long to open up to katseye cause I vote for Samara like crazy, and she end it up in 7th place, it was so sad... I follow her insta, and it broke my heart. But now that time has passed I really like all the gurlies and I can't wait to know more about them with you. I already have a feeling that Lara is going to be a top bias candidate for me. PS.: i just found out about her controverses about some tiktok likes and stuff, and I hope it's not what it looks like... anyway she's a really young gurl, and I think we can all make mistakes and learn from them, and I hope this is the case.

Aya

man… i remember the day when DA first video dropped me and the girlies were all confused by the format 😭 the entire twtsphere were pissed at the slow rollout, no additional content, no nothing… it was a MESS. the views were so low too even though their fancams counted as votes. but i still voted for megan every day like an insane person though and i was fully ready to drop this group if she didn’t make it 😭 anyway i can’t wait for more katseye!

alysssa

Idk if this is fully correct because I was only watching the performances and keeping up through socials, but from what I remember, Nayoung ended up being eliminated because she mentioned wanting to do solo work

Nelle

if i'm not mistaken Emily was recently a backup dancer for XG during coachella

Jonjal

During Dream Academy I was voting for Samara religiously until all her racist controversy came out.

Alissa

ok i know some of the girlies were mad we voted Katseye because of the lack of music and I understand but also this is exactly why I still voted LOL i knew the commentary would be too good

Jenny Wilde

Emily is a professional dancer—I saw her most recently as a background dancer for XG’s Coachella set. She hangs out with some of the Katseye members, especially Megan and Lara.

Meg

There’s a Hyolyn video, Layin Low, filmed in that white room with all the windows that wasn’t the Love on Top room. It’s also in a lot of LA-based choreo videos.

AB

the girl on the matters you guys saying "who is she" is lexie sadly she left after she saw how the show put the girls against each other and back stabbed them all, which is crazy because she was like 100% in the line up, the CEO himself said she is what were looking and wanted her in the line up, but she left because she felt it went against her morals with the way they put the girls against one another

Jonjal

During the docu series we learned two big things; all the girls thought Adela was gonna debut because she was seen as the best trainee all throughout the pre-survival show process. The mentors all praised her and she would take care of the girls. Her elimination during DA wasn't that gaggy but it became a gag after the docuseries came out. Manon on the other hand had a rough relationship with the girls because she was often absent from training or rehearsals and didn't put the same energy as the rest of them. A lot of the girls didn't take her sick excuse seriously just due to the energy she would give when she was around. It became a big issue later on because many Manon solo stans used it as hate, especially towards Sophia and Lara, because they confronted Manon about it. Manon took accountability saying maybe she wasn't giving it her all but she knew she had to. That didn't stop the hate unfortunately.

Nina Sera

Ok I’m gonna leave a thread as I go, starting with OMG Marquise and Ezrela were the two I was voting hardest for throughout the show bc they were so underrated to me, I LOVE Ezrela’s expressions. Mei debuted in 2024 in Say My Name, I think they’re under Jaejoong’s company? And I’m sure you’ll see here shortly but the dance teams def got the short end of the stick in first round voting bc it was much harder for them to stand out.

Aleisha Layne

Sadly we all were...she fumbled the bag herself

mariaa

I feel bad for having missed the beginning of Katseye. Being brazilian I was really rooting for Samara. Funny that you guys reacted to her speech, talking about God is very common in speeches here, even for those who are not religious, it’s just part of the culture. Also, kpop really needed at least one Brazilian idol honestly, there are a lot of talented people here. For now we accept Huening Kai and Bahiyyih, our half brazilian. The whole of South America is pretty much left aside by kpop companies, even thought we know that we are the best audiences for almost every idol who has stepped a foot here. I’m going to follow the group through you guys now, every month adding a new group to stan because of you, obrigada!!

Aleisha Layne

Nayoung chose to leave on her own. She wanted to be a solo artist....i bet she regrets that now!

Alissa

also i'm excited for y'all to see more of yoonchae's personality + star power especially with Gnarly because that's my little star and i need her to get more recognition

Shanelly Faust

And to think I use to dance to spice girls on school's breaks... can you imagine how I freaked out when I found out that I was born on the same day as the iconic ginger spice? August 6th. Mind you I found that information on a magazine, cause I didnt have access to Internet by that time. I feel like a fossil.

Chels

Watching while commenting so not sure if any of this was mentioned yet! Nayoung mentions that she's unsure if she wants to be in a girl group, which is why the directors decided to drop her (otherwise I would've been mad too since I was voting for her and Lara religiously😭), and Samara had a racism controversy which is why a lot of people stopped voting for her mid-show.

Jonjal

She didn’t choose to leave, they eliminated her. She had a meeting with one of the heads of the company where she expressed maybe she wanted to be a soloist but she didn’t express she wanted to leave. They unfortunately took it as she didn’t want to be there.

Jenny Wilde

iirc, Nayoung had spoken about or made a comment about becoming a soloist instead. That was the main factor in their decision to eliminate her, as they wanted someone that truly wanted to be in a group and all thst came with it. She wasn’t in my dream lineup so I hadn’t been too phased by her elimination but soooo many people were pissed at her going home.

onlyonlysun

i remember lexie leaving and nayoung's elimination were INSANE, everyone was like what the fuck??? ...until the documentary came out

David v

Watching their reactions to the announcement of the songs they’re going to perform and the groups they’re going to be in, is so funny cause in the documentary they been training for years those choreographies and songs 😂 it was so fake I imagine them cringing

David v

The fact the Nayoung was voted out cause she expressed that she didn’t see herself in a girl group for the long run and that she wants more of a solo career in the future lol

Aleisha Layne

She told them she wanted to be a soloist....during a competition to join a group......that tells me she wasnt "eliminated". She had already clocked out and they knew that keeping her there would not benefit the group or the company. I guarantee they only kept her on the show as long as they did was because they hoped shed change her mind and when she wasnt going to they had to "eliminate" her. Because the fans would have been livid if the show just sent her home.

Aleisha Layne

Kpop has a Brazilian kpop idol. Her name is Gabi and shes part of Black Swan

David v

In the “all the same” performance there were a few formations that gave out who were going to debut 😩 like they made the girls who debuted stand up and the other ones going down at the beginning of the performance lol

Aleisha Layne

Manon was ALWAYS part of the group and we all knew it. The documentary just proved what we all knew. I also think the girls knew that and thats why there was so much tension ans animosity towards her. Shes our black girl in the middle and we love her in the middle being black in the middle! QUEEN!

mariaa

I know, but the group is not that well know and have previous controversies with the ex brazilian member

Shanelly Faust

Também fiquei meio down por causa da Samara, mas no fim o grupo ficou ótimo de toda maneira. Além da Gabi no Blackswan, temos o menino Isaque, ou Jibeen do ARrc, que também é beloved aqui do canal ❤️

mariaa

Ainda não acompanho o ARrc, mas vou ver agora que você mencionou kkkkk A gente sempre acaba em alguma polêmica com os idols daqui, a Samara tinha um público muito grande, quando ela não debutou foi um choque pra gente

Bria

and to add to that! The fact that she’s black in the middle being black in the middle being the black girl in the middle being black in the center being black is just the cherry on top!!

dani

if katseye is added in to lore which… it’ll probably be.. i do recommend the docuseries bc it fills in so many holes as to why people were voted out or whatever. like this whole show/experience was sooooo sisterhood Including the docseries. im honestly shocked hybe allowed themselves to be exposed in that why bc the staff or whoever directed dream academy was absolutely Nuts.

piffy

havent finished the vid so idk if this context is provided but i think its also important to mention during that manon didnt know about the hardcore training system of kpop as she was scouted through IG and its more common in swiss culture to take a break when you need it so i think the girls were caught off guard that she wasnt so quick to overexert herself. it sucks that a simply misunderstanding spiraled into several hate trains to her n the girls

Jonjal

Yeah, even when the documentary showcased that they all talked it out properly and were finally on the same page, the fans took it as either Manon was lazy or that Lara and Sophia were bullies when neither were the case. That's why you'll see the girls condemn the solo stans very vocally because they caused a lot of issues within the fandom.

Shanelly Faust

Manaaaa ARrC é ótimo mesmo! Tem os reacts dos mvs no YouTube e alguns de variedades aqui no patreon, vale muito a pena conhecer 🫶

FroggyMuds

Lara raj the WOMAN YOU ARE!!! my wife

Celeste Kayla

Thank you for liking the name Celeste I grew up hating it lol

renok

Emily is now a professional dancer, she danced with XG for coachella!

Ahri

Nancy “Throat Goat” Reagan had me in teaaaarssss

NAME

I'm assuming you guys are not gonna react to the docuseries? It would have been great if you guys could because it explains a lot of the results including the reason why nayoung was not picked.

M.C.

I watched that Wannabe performance and I just wanted a Emily and Ezrela duo after that

Nina Sera

Ok I was doing just fine with audio only until we got to throat goat Nancy Reagan, I NEED to see yalls look into the camera on that one even though I can already picture it in my head😭

Merary Ponce

So yall are watching the Netflix docuseries…right?..

Nina Sera

Ok I waited til the end to give the rest of my thoughts so I wouldn’t be repeated stuff y’all say later but that just means I’ll forget half of what I wanted to say😂 so I’ll start with what I forgot from my YouTube comment, which is they did do an ad with Pandora jewelry about their dream charms but it wasn’t a proper collab which was such a missed opportunity cause I woulda bought that bracelet and I’ve never worn pandora in my life😭 Lara’s outfit in mission one was atrocious and I high key think they were trying to humble her bc when she came in they talked a lot about how her presence was too loud and they wanted her to tone it down to fit in a group better. So I’m so glad she ended up in a group of baddies so she can be her full self without overshadowing anyone (I also don’t want to get too into the doc bc I really think y’all should watch it just for the Manon of it all, it gives SO MUCH context to the show)

Nina Sera

Dani was very confident in the performances but less so off stage esp after the voting for round one when she was low. Which brings me to the voting… As you can tell when we were watching in real time we REALLY didn’t have much to go off of, which made the voting VERY nationality based. The American girls didn’t do well in voting at all esp round one, and that threw off a lot of the girls when they realized that their training wasn’t really gonna matter much. Also my dumbass didn’t realize it at the time, but they def already had their groups for the next challenge picked out ahead of time, so when voting came out and Antifragile team A had 3 of the top six in one group it REALLY hit the confidence of team B, so on top of everything else you saw they were also dealing with knowing they had basically no chance in the head to head. Which is also why team A was a little more free spirited that round😭 For round three it was the oldest girls in buttons, the minors who looked more mature in confident and minors/girls who look super young in wannabe. In addition to doing pretty well in voting, Lexie was also bang pd’s one pick, so there’s a theory that had she stayed the final lineup would’ve been wannabe + 1 and they would’ve gone with more of a cute concept. BUT buttons went crazy viral on TikTok and pretty much cemented them having a more mature concept. As I’m sure others have said. Nayoung was let go bc she mentioned to the execs that she had solo aspirations down the line, but it’s pretty well accepted among fans that that was an excuse bc the execs had already decided they preferred Yoonchae (younger, better dancer, more versatile in different concepts) but voting wise she wasn’t doing as well so they did whatever they had to do to get Nayoung out of the way. Also I’m not sure if y’all saw but the final rankings were a combo of prevotes, live votes, and judges scores, so that was how they tipped the scales for who they wanted at the end. I think the only change was they bumped Megan up and it knocked Ezrela out of the top six😔

Nina Sera

I can’t remember who said Ezrela thought it would be her but she definitely didn’t, verryyy early on in the show she clocked that Lara was gonna be the Indian representation and they would only chose one (fans suspected this at the time too with them and Manon/Samara, we didn’t think they’d pick two Indian girls or two black girls) so for most of the competition part Ezrela was just trying her best to enjoy the experience which was not easy😭 Marquise was the other girl I was rooting hard for and as someone who strongly dislikes even number groups (even though two of my ults are six members😭) I still wish she could’ve been the 7th member. She struggled with confidence a lot early on but after she made it to round three you could see she really got a boost and came out of her shell for Confident and the finale. Also Mei! I was not paying attention to her at all until she was eliminated but I loved what we saw of her there so much that I am a lightweight Say My Name supporter. (My dream after the finale was that those three would go on to be in a kpop group together but Ezrela seems pretty done with the industry at least for now so I had to give up on that dream

Nina Sera

Anyway this was great can’t wait for next week!!

Justin N

i definitely think the docuseries is a must watch to get a lot of the missing context 😭

Justin N

nancy regan throat goat is sending me to the moon rn lol

Justin N

the producers making the choose who they wanted in the group is when the whole show took a dark shift bahahah

Justin N

oh twins missing rehearsals is the damn talking point of the season. Also Illya dragging the girls after she got eliminated is everything "dont cry you guys voted me out"

Justin N

its so wild cause first half of the competition daniela was forsure about to go home but then that second half she seriously locked in and won everyone over.

Freya

Manons accent to me has no hints of a European accent like most others do. I don’t think she went to an international school so it must just be from upbringing and socials.

atlas

Ezrela pretty much knew it wasn't going to be her as soon as they called Lara. I'm not sure if you have any plans to watch their Netflix documentary but she always said it was going to be her OR Lara, never both :(

Reid Lava

As a person who has her hair in braid 9 months out of the year ( not summer cause it’s too hot) the amount of braids Manon has makes it more uncomfortable to have them in bun vs. a pony. Also braids get real heavy when you bundle them up sometimes

ShaSha

Since there's no video, I have decided that Adam saying "I have to take this wig off, honey" is literal, and he was in drag the whole time lol

Molly Yemi

Moment I heard “I need to know what Nayoung is doing” I knew it was my time to campaign for Girls on Fire 🔥🔥 if you want more Nayoung it’s definitely worth the watch, that and the fact that every contestant is a main vocalist chefs kisssss 💋

Jothemonster

Karlee was my PO1, I loved her lil weirdo energy ! She debuted as a soloist last month with the song Little Things

ally

emily was a dancer for xg's coachella set this year! she's done the choreo for adéla's past few singles as well

Daniela

Switzerland has 4 official languages (italian, german, french, and romansch). Manon is from the german speaking part, so she probably spoke mostly swiss-german (a dialect). In school, she likely had german, french, and english, assuming that she went to a public school, which is pretty common in switzerland. I think a lot of people who speak germanic languages don’t have a strong accent in english. There are a few things, like “th” sounding more like “s,” etc. but if they work on it, they can sound pretty much "accent-free"

Princessyoku

I've never seen Dream Academy so I assumed the thumbnail was from some 50s commercial you guys looked up due to a random tangent lmfao

Princessyoku

Le Sserafim songs are too low even for Le Sserafim themselves lol

JayB

All I’m saying is the commentary alone is making my day. When they got to “Helen” I almost fell out

Jamell N

I always thought Megan looks like Gyuvin

Jamell N

Samara.........*adjusts my war veteran hat*

Jamell N

1:27:35 you can't put that many long braids in a bun its too heavy she would topple over 😭

dnajjks

omg SURVIVOR MENTIONED!! that is my showww, I applied when I was 16 and didn't get in but now I'm 21 and gonna apply again hehe...

dnajjks

I don't think I've ever had as much secondhand embarrassment from watching any survival show as I did with the announcer / host of the finale

SUKICAT

Le Sserafim sings their songs perfectly well wdym 💀
