I still remembered after IPD the rumor for the next show was Q1 of 2019 for boy group and Q3/4 of 2019 for girl group
turned out that for boy group it changed name as Youth With You
well I really want to watch but at that time I was busy with school
and then I kinda forgot about this show, then heard again that this show would be named as NYSN (cmiiw)

at first I was like, wow they change name for every season
and there's rumor Lu Han would be the PD replacing Zhang Yixing
at first I kinda skeptical, then turned out this rumor was false, Cai Xukun turned out to be the PD for this season
as casual viewer of IPD I was curious how this show would turned out, as Kun was just a trainee and his journey after IPD was sky rocketing
he's not my 1 pick, but I still felt proud of him

and then I hear that kiki joined this show
I heard her name back in 2016, when she was in the same movie as Sehun, so I give it a try
around January 2020 I read several melon account talking about Kiki, Xueer, Anqi, and Yuxin

I remembered I watch this show the first time on Friday, March 13th
I gotta say that 7senses performance, despite not perfect, was still my favorite, Kiki's dance break made me choose her as my one pick

To think about this
I think that all the9 members got memorable part in audition
Liu Yuxin who got Lisa's approval
Yu Shuxin, despite not great performance, her non-stop chatter while explaining her audition was so funny (though at first I found her annoying)
Kiki her solo dance break for Who Is Your Girl and the one who dare to battled SGXA
Yu Yan, despite it's only a slight part of her performance, but the way she wake the other trainees with her vocal was so great
Xie Keyin who got Ella's approval as girl group main rapper and in his heart Kun would give her A, too bad Jony J was such a btch to her
An Qi, Hickey performance was one of the most memorable audition, and her joining dance battle
Zhao Xiaotang, poker face solo dance
Kong Xueer, the first A, and her also joining dance battle
Lu Keran, the first performer, sexy in her own charm
and all of them had been center at least once
and I really love the performances

from VDR my favorite would be The Eve (yes I'm being bias), Flammable and Explosive, Mono Eyelid Girls
from group battle: Ambush on All Sides II B, R&B All Night A, How Do I Look So Good A, A Little Bit Sweet B (just ignore QNZW's rap part it's good)
from 2.5 revenge battle: MAMA A, Ambush on All Sides II A, Missing You 3000 B, A Little Bit Sweet A
from concept evaluation: for performance I love Non Daily Revelry, Lion, and No Company but for song I'd go with Light Orange Island
from mentor collaboration: I gotta say I love almost all except for I'm Not Your Girl

I gotta say that my favorite mentor would be Wang Su Long, despite him only an x-mentor
he was so great and patient with the girls on top of that he's so funny
also Kun, I felt like he really did great job continuing ZYX's legacy
I love how meticulous he is monitoring all performances, and how perfectionist he is
yet at the same times he never force his opinion as the final word

overall this show is still my favorite and my comfort show
even though there's a slightly evil edit, but compare to the successor of this show or mnet's one, I'm glad it's not that bad
