1. [+573, -11] This show always goes the same way...
Before it starts: people whine about why it's still going oin
Right before it starts: people ignore it but are already hooked on the theme song
A few weeks later: people demand that you vote for their bias and second bias
After: people claim it was the best season yet and the members are awesome

2. [+518, -12] This show's like 'WGM'... people swear it up and down but still watch it...

3. [+416, -9] There's no reason for SM, JYP, or YG to send their trainees on this show. It's more for the smaller agencies that don't have the system for debut for desperate trainees. SM JYP YG don't need the extra attention or promotion from this show.

4. [+16, -3] I have a feeling it won't be as good as the previous seasons

5. [+9, -1] It's time for a new group from SM, JYP has 'Sixteen 2' to go, and I don't think Mnet is on good terms with YG

6. [+8, -0] The majority of Japanese girl groups don't have the skills to even make it past Korean auditions... If you actually saw Japanese idol groups, you'd realize why Korean groups are so popular there. Even Korean trainees struggle to survive the intense competition here, do you really think the Japanese kids can do it?

7. [+6, -0] I think this is the season that it'll fail though... it's not even just Korean idols, half of the cast is from Japan...

8. [+6, -0] Doesn't this season have Japanese kids....

9. [+4, -0] All three agencies already have preparations for their own girl groups underway, there's no reason for them to waste the spotlight on trainees they'll be debuting in 5 years

10. [+3, -0] I've noticed that debuting off of this show is just a waste of your image and your career never really takes off any which way. It's better to just keep your trainees quiet and debut them the right way. Look at all the IOI kids... other than Kim Sejung or Chungha, the rest have lost the spotlight...
