PTSD with Hybe 101
I dislike survival shows in general, debut shows even more, but I wanted to support these kids. There is no surprise that everything was so conveniently staged so the only thing it achieved was to traumatize the boys. Why needlessly threaten them with debut cancelation? When they read the letters from their families I was just sitting there awkwardly. What was the purpose of making them read that out loud? Something so intimate should have stayed private. The Seventeen mission was fun but Hybe somehow managed to force EVERY group into this. When the BTS mission was announced I internally screamed and was desperately hoping we'll hear the older songs and not the recent atrocities. The final stream was a whole another disaster... no-one looked like they wanted to be there. The MC was so awkward it made me uncomfortable. The pauses were too long. It looked like Hybe kidnapped a random stranger off the streets, put him in a suit, gave him a mic and a script and put him on stage. For some reason, the results were announced halfway through followed by an hour of thanking everyone. I wouldn't mind that much if the subtitles were in sync... the whole thing was a mess.On the positive side the game episode was fun (aside from the letter reading). Another fun thing was the TXT interaction. Also, the performances were awesome and I can't wait to see the members who didn't make it make their debut sometime in the future.
