You cannot tell me that mnet didn't intentionally chose Bad as one of the dance team songs to try to make an indirect connect to Peak Time's Bad performance. Like that one get very viral and also from a survival show. Mnet kinda did boys dirty with this one.

For the four dance groups i have thoughts for the 4.
I found Bad incredibly boring and i would rate it the worst both in performance quality and dance creativeness
XXL feels complete in a way i really enjoy. It feels like the group that was able to mesh this hidden expectation of idol dance with true creativity.
Like Jennie felt like the colloquial "avengers" team in line with Bang Bang from Produce 101 season 1(they also sang the dance challenges their and have since the very beginning). well constructed generally high creativity moves where completed just overall good quality to the point where a lot of the things i can say feel like nitpicks.
Tamborine feels like Yumeki was forced to nerf himself because none of the other people in his team could as successfully. I can almost FEEL him using the formations to compensate for the teams overall lack of dance skill.
for LALALALA that movement section with the howl was IMPRESSIVE i literally GASPED at it. I also think this team committed to the concept the most and i think unlike my issues with Tamborine i felt it in contrast to what you where saying that the commitment to the concept almost covered for the weakness of 3 of the dancers. I didnt even really notice anyone outside of Zhao Guang Xu dancing poorly until you went back over it.
My favorite performance was XXL and i agree with your note on that one performer not being able to complete the choreo and im curious if it gets covered in the episode.
My ranking personally is
1. XXL
2. Like Jennie
3. LALALA
4. Tamborine
5. Bad(yes i disliked it that much Tamborine felt like it was covering for weaknesses Bad felt lazy)

It is very obvious how much the vocalists are being pushed at least 2 of them are(at least to me) clearly sick and the songs feel like set ups in range.

The vocal cover for tambourine took me out of the performances so much. I wanted so badly but I genuinely can't enjoy the stage because of the vocals.
One thing that really frustrates me is how the dance groups have trouble creating choreo and/or performing the choreo in a way that is dance-focused rather than idol focused if that makes any sense. Lots of idols and trainees are visibly focused on looking good while dancing vs focusing on giving a good dance performance. When they're trying so hard to look "pretty", it takes away from the performance. We do have a good number of trainees/idols who perform without thinking too hard on their visuals (harry june, hyunjun etc.) which I respect so much.

You made such a great point about the vocals for the dance team and how that may have influenced how convincing the overall performance was. Definitely felt that too! Awesome analysis and points as always

The fact yunseo and arctic created the XXL choreography in barely a week at just 15 and 16 years old is sooo crazy!

Ikr! Gave no screen time to his choreographing process or leading dance practices… His outfit made him look like a backup dancer it felt sooo unjust

now you mention it, the Hanseum/Breathe performance really feels like the Kingdom performance of ATEEZ, Stray Kids and BTOB 😂 though that performance in my opinion will always be superior. Love Poem honestly was sooo good

When watching your reactions to the dance teams, your point on the music being sung by the trainees themselves having an effect on how people view the performance made things so much clearer!
Cause while I didn't voice this on sns, I saw a lot of people saying stuff like so and so group should win and etc, but I always thought differently. The music being a cover, and not the original track makes so much sense now! Cause for example, like jennie, Im used to hearing it in Jennie's tone, not the boys's tones. And then for bad, whenever I hear it, I'm used to hearing Christophers voice. Honestly, donggyu's (the guy you were pointing out a good amount of time) tone really matched Christophers in a good way, so it made more sense why he stood out to me despite not being center. And it's not cause I like him, it's genuinely cause he did fit the song better compared to the other two. (In my opinion)
And then oh man, xinlong is so good in stray kids!!😭 I'm glad he didn't get s-class last mission, since he would've performed back door as his evaluation intro performance, s-class as the first Mission, and then lalala for the 2nd mission🤣 he suited the song so much!! Also, I didn't realize that over dancing either unintentionally of intentionally can show off the other flaws. Your points you made made me really wonder what type of performances all the dance teams could've performed, if they didn't have to also record their vocals for the songs. Like, I wonder if the bad team would've come up with a different formation and etc. same with like jennie, etc.
A lot of people agree with you I think, XXL and lalala had a lot of fans (at least from what I was seeing on my end of SNS) tambourine, people liked it, but I wasn't able to see if w lot of people actually liked it vs liking the members of the team. The same goes with like jennie. the storyline for the like jennie team didn't help a lot of people with liking the performance as much I think. Bad also had the same situation with like jennie, a long with one specific member being asked to rechoreograph it I think, can't fully remember actually

Here's the translations of all of hot teams lyrics though! Idk why mnet didn't translate it:
li zihao
yichen, seo won - why didn’t you pick me?!
watch me make the guys who didn't pick me regret it
this is our taste, bopeul isn't an easy game
when you think of zihao, you think of my face
go write whatever comments you want
i know you hate me, i've got the courage to be hated
even if i'm short, the air around me is on another level
breathe it in even giants like you will fall too
sangwon hyung even said it, my visuals are rank zero
nian boheng
k + c alpha g
zhongxing leejeong li zihao we (top g's)
even though i'm the very last in the all star ranking
i'm (better) than seo won and yichen at rapping
do you wanna rap like nian?
dress like nian?
voice deep enough like nian?
catch a fever tryna find a man just like nian?
he zhongxing
i'm hot shot shining, now i got you in my feeling
i brought my dream with me and poured my confidence here
nobody wanna close, nobody wanna see
no one can reaches my heart, nobody want me (sexy)
but i hold on, even if i face darkness and fear
(withstand it) i'll grit my teeth as i move forward
they say i look like a fool, they laugh at me
but that's not me, that's the image you know of, tell me
jun leejeong
our race that's hot, our pace that can't be stopped
i can perform without caring about (time and place)
lame guys (here and there)
they won't greet us back, we're (dirty dirty)
it's my first time rapping but, make them
there's no guy like me, shameless
look at me, it's clear that we're the main event
nian boheng
listen to my words well
we're just gonna make it up as we go
listen to my rap well
this song is (hot)
yo! the fans who vote for nian (hot)
the eliminated kids from c team (hot)
lim jack whom i had my first stage with, you're my brother, my partner you're (hot)
jun leejeong
li zihao who's got a beast-like face but a human heart (hot)
li zihao
sexy zhongxing who threw the lose sticker (hot)
he zhongxing
deep voice like nian (hot)
all

I agree with your commenton Harry. Mnet didn't give him a good costume and the bias is clear..and I want to say more but I will comment that when you upload the episode reaction . But safe to say Mnet pissed me off!!! Btw Harry made the choreography!
