The trainees have come a long way!  A lot of them looked very green in the beginning, but now many could be idols ready to debut. All three evaluations are interesting, but I think that the concept evaluation is especially noteworthy because they’re no longer doing covers.  Because they have original material, they can reallyContinue reading “Produce 101 Season 2 Episode 9 Recap: All About the Concept”

I’ve been trying to avoid spoilers for the final episode before I can watch a subbed version, so suffice it to say this weekend was hard.  In an effort to curb my curiosity, I’m committing myself to finishing all my recaps. And for those of you who are catching up, there’s still plenty of dramaContinue reading “Produce 101 Season 2 Episode 8 Recap: So Many Twists and Turns”

I’m not exaggerating: six out of seven groups we see tonight will discuss who is center to some degree.  And almost half of them will have much more than a talk. I certainly understand why everyone wants to be center, but I forgot how vicious it gets sometimes.  Drama aside, this episode has some reallyContinue reading “Produce 101 Season 2 Episode 7 Recap: The One Where Everyone Wants to be Center”

The position evaluation is probably my favorite part of the competition.  It’s the point where many potential favorites start to shine. We start to have a sense of who these trainees are and who we want in the final group.  Up until now, I haven’t had my own version of the Top 11.  I hadContinue reading “Produce 101 Season 2 Episode 6 Recap: Choose Carefully”

A few short months ago, many people (myself included) were a little skeptical of this new season of Produce 101. But now the male version is popular beyond a doubt: 24,690,000 votes were counted for this first round of eliminations!  You know it’s trendy when the votes total half the population of South Korea.  NowContinue reading “Produce 101 Season 2 Episode 5 Recap: First Eliminations”

This episode continues the head to head matches.  Although MNET tries to ramp up the drama, it’s fairly predictable.  Approximately ten out of twelve groups have one member with one problem, but ultimately it never affects any the performances. It’s still pretty entertaining though, because we finally get to see all of the trainees in action instead of aContinue reading “Produce 101 Season 2 Episode 4 Recap: So Many Covers, So Little Time”

Well, as per usual I’m about a month behind.  I’m fairly up to date on actually watching the episodes.  It’s just that the process of typing and editing my notes is a little more involved than I anticipated.  But I have notes done for Episodes 3 through 6, so hopefully I can zoom through these prettyContinue reading “Produce 101 Season 2 Episode 3 Recap: Battle of the Boy Bands”
