Concept Song Ranking (based on the song itself, not the performance):
1. 너에게 닿기를 (To Reach You)
2. Rumor
3. 1000%
4. 다시 만나 (See You Again)
5. I AM
6. Rollin' Rollin'

I must say that I was pleasantly shocked at Nako's Korean pronunciation.


New Top12 after Ep10. Looks like I finally went for the 6:6 lineup.

1. Yabuki Nako
2. Jo Yuri
3. Kwon Eunbi
4. Honda Hitomi
5. Park Haeyoon
6. Kim Chaewon
7. Miyawaki Sakura
8. Takahashi Juri
9. Shitao Miu
10. Kim Nayoung
11. Takeuchi Miyu
12. Choi Yena

Changes from my previous rankings
OUT:
Na Goeun
Heo Yunjin

IN:
Takeuchi Miyu
Choi Yena

Didn't think Miyu would fit well in a typical idol girl group (mainly her vocal style) but she did a great job in 다시만나. Also added Choi Yena, I think that she has a good combination of talent and personality for the group.

I still like Goeun as a vocalist but I am not sure what else she brings to the group. With other solid vocalists like Yuri, Eunbi, Chaewon, Miyu, and Haeyoon I don't know what she would add to the group. Yunjin is also vocally talented but she's in the same boat as Goeun, plus the general voting audience really doesn't like her.

My guess for the 10 eliminated contestants:
Na Goeun, Goto Moe, Jang Gyuri, Murase Sae, Kim Shihyun, Kim Doah, Lee Sian, Wang Yiren, Heo Yunjin, Kim Minju.
Other contestants in the danger zone:
Kim Nayoung, Shitao Miu, Takahashi Juri, Jo Yuri, Choi Yena, Kim Chaewon.

Not much changes to my top 12 after episode 10. Added Miru since she has great stage presence.


Both 너에게 닿기를 (To Reach You) and Rollin' Rollin' groups did really well and are my favourites from this ep. I was pretty hyped for I AM but then everything about the performance didn't really fit together. Didn't seem to have a coherent concept... Now i-fans are hating on Yujin again lol. I'm glad we are near the end of the show as netizens seem to bring up the most petty reasons to hate every trainee apart from their favourites.

Feels like the AKB48 members will take over the top ranks now as they present something different for casual viewers and have an existing fanbase. Also their lack of screen time can be fixed by their AKB48 activities that they are attending during this show.


I really hope Doah will survive the next cut off, but that will be tough even with the win benefit.

To me, Rumor was clearly the best song. Im kinda shocked it did so poorly for the live voting but from what I can tell it's the best song according to the charts?
Actually spaced out during some other songs and wasn't into it at all but Rumor I had to pause the episode straight after and go and watch all the fancams too lol.
My ranking:


Nako untouchable for me. She can do everything and nothing wrong!
Kim Sihyun new entry for me, center for Rumor and really stood out hope she makes it far! Not sure how the trainers wanted her to stand out more when she didn't even have the most lines or the most screentime... W/E...
