I love position evaluation. I think it gives the rappers a chance to really shine when they usually have to showcase singing or dancing. It also gives us epic performances such as Shape of You and "Michoji" from Season 2. Either way it allows people to really showcase their talents. The introduction of the X position definitely added interest. I think it is definitely very important for the trainees to be able to both sing and dance at the same time or rap and dance at the same time, since that is what they are going to be doing as an idol.

It was really cute how excited Song Yu Vin and Choi Su Hwan was to get teammates, especially towards Nam Dong Hyun. It was also really funny with Song Yu Vin trying to learn how to sing sexily. I was a bit surprised to see Nam Dong Hyun screen time, since he really did not get a lot before. I really liked the performance. Like Twit, it wasn't your typical ballad, which I appreciate. I think Song Yu Vin and Nam Dong Hyun really shined in the performance. I was really surprised that Kwon Tae Eun got second in the ranking, but good for him.

Twit by Hwasa
I love how this song was not like the typical ballad type songs to showcase their singing. Their harmonies were amazing and I loved it. Lee Hyeop did really well and I think it was great that he was finally able to showcase his singing ability. Jeonghwa also really stood out with his strong voice and cool stage presence. The performance overall was very captivating and I was really impressed and liked it a lot.

Seungwoo was someone that I thought would do X position for dancing and singing. In this group, he was definitely the most qualified and deserves the leader and center position. I also kind of wished Yohan chose to do the rap position because I wanted to see him rap a bit more, but I do appreciate him really trying a lot of different positions and becoming a well rounded idol. I really loved seeing Cha Jun Ho's and Kim Yo Han's friendship. It was also really nice to see Jun Ho really improve in the end. For the performance, it was a typical ballad. One thing I really appreciated was that everyone really stood out and was able to display their singing abilities. The silence after the Seungwoo's and Hyunbin's harmony was super impactful. That part and following part with everyone standing were definitely my favorite parts.

I was surpirsed to see Woo Seok in this group. I thought he would definitely be someone to do X position for dancing and singing. I also was sort of confused with Lee Jin Woo being in this team, since he seems uncomfortable with singing. For the performance, it was a typical ballad. I think that Woo Seok really stood out in this song and his voice really fit the song. I was also really impressed with Byungchan and Minkyu. For Byungchan, I never really knew that he was good at singing so it took me by surprise. For Minkyu, you could tell he really improved and it was nice to see that. I really enjoyed Lee Jin Woo's little speech thing after the performance. It was really fun and lighthearted, which lifted the mood. I loved his shout out to Lee Jin Hyuk and their friendship is really nice.

Rap Position
Tell Me, Yes or No by Zico
YASS MY BOIIII SEUNGYOUN AS THE LEADER !!! I honestly thought he was going to go for X position in rap and dance because he is totally capable, but you know what I'm just happy to see him showcase his rapping ability since in the last he challenge he was able to showcase singing and dancing. I'm really proud of Jeong Jae Hun and Kim Sungyeon for stepping up to the plate and really delivering their raps. Jeonghan's rap was also a lot of fun and it was really funny with his little performance. My boi Seung Youn's rap was great with the combination of rap and singing was great and damn he was sexy during that one part. Overall, I'm really proud of all of them.

Hyeon Su and Yun Sol really stood out in preparations for the performance when they were doing the dance off with the other dance groups. It really seemed like the team had a hard time preparing because a lot of them were not as talented at dancing as Yun Sol and Hyeon Su is. For the actual performance, I think they did well. I really liked the throne that they ended with and the finger crown was really cute. Hyeon Su's and Yun Sol's friendship was also really sweet to watch and at the end with the rankings announced and they were both crying was so sweet.

YASSS MY BOI PARK SUNHO!!! Hwang Yun Seong and Keum Dong Hyun's friendship is really cute and the nickname Golden Chemistry is so cute. Honestly, I really like all of the trainees in this group, so I was really excited to see what they came up with. I was really impressed with their performance. I think out of the dance groups, this group did the best. I really liked the part where Dong Pyo was lifted up and that little section was pretty epic. I think Kook Heon really stood out in this performance, so I was pretty shocked when he got 4th in the rankings. Honestly, all of the members did amazing and it was a great performance.

I was surprised to see Baek Jin in this group because I thought he was going to go for dance but it's great that he is able to show more of his talents. Personally, it was really uncomfortable to see Won Hyuk and Yuri argue over center. Overall, the team dynamic was pretty uncomfortable, but Baek Jin really tried to bring them together as the leader and in the end they were a lot better as a team. When they started forgetting their lyrics, I freaked out. Like, damn that was hard to watch. One thing I really liked during the performance was "It's Baek Jin time", I was so psyched hearing that. I really think Won Hyuk really stood out in the performance. He was the only one that didn't forget any of his lines and was able to really stay in composed and really perform in the performance.

YASSS MY BOI HANGYUL GETTING CENTER AND FIRST PLACE!! I'm also super proud of Si Hoon for being the leader and he really did a great job bringing everyone together and choreographing. Their teamwork was really great and I love their team dynamic. I also am super pumped that Hangyul finally got some screentime. For the performance, it was really fun. Hangyul, Si Hoon and Hyeong Jun really shown. That flip Hangyul did was fucking great, Si Hoon's hip thrusts were sexy as hell, and Hyeong Jun's claw thing was really cute.

X position
Attention by Charlie Puth (Singing and Dancing)
I'm really happy that Hong Seongjun chose to do this X position because he definitely is able to do both. Also, out of all the other trainees from Brand New Music he really hasn't been able to showcase himself as much and probably been getting the least amount of attention. I was surprised Sunghyun decided to join the singing and dancing X position, as a rapper, I thought he was going to rapping and dancing if he was going to be doing the X position. It seemed like they had a really hard time making this performance, but it think it was pretty good in the end. there were a few bits that weren't really in sync, but what honestly for all the stuff they had to worry about I don't really blame them. One part I really loved was the end though, when Mahiro snapped with the snapping in the song and the fell in increments. I think Mahiro really did a good job as center, so like good for him. I was really shocked with the rankings, but damn good for you Koo Jung Mo

Ok, why the fuck did Lee Eugene choose this? Not to be hating on him, but Lee Eugene really isn't that good at singing or dancing. Then he goes and chooses rap and dance?! What mindset is he in? I felt really bad for Lee Jin Hyuk because no one else in his group was really a rapper except Peak. I really was in the same mindset as Jin Hyuk with "Why did any of these guys choose this?" Watching these guys prepare was a struggle. Jin Hyuk had to literally teach them rapping from scratch, but they also had to learn a dance routine. Oof, it must have been really rough for him. I was really impressed with what these guys came out with at their performance. In the end, everyone was really able to deliver. I just wished the group consisted of people that were the best at rapping and dancing because that performance would have been epic. During the rankings, I was surprised see Lee Won Jun as the leader because Jin Hyuk really seemed to be leading everyone.
The winner for the Dance Position was Kim Hyeon Su, which was kind of surprising, but he deserved it, so good for him. It was also kind of shocking to see that the difference between first and second place was only 4 votes. For the Rap Position, the winner was Won Hyuk, which was also quite surprising, especially since the Barcode group as a whole really messed up. Good for him, though, because he really needed that boost being in 57th place out of 60. The winner for the vocal position was Woo Seok, which wasn't a surprise for me because he has a really high rank. I also wasn't surprised with Lee Jin Hyuk winning the X position, but that is insane getting the 200 times benefit and the 200,000 vote benefit.
Overall, these performances were nice to watch. My favorite performance would have to be Believer. I honestly think all the members really shined. They were clearly all really good at dancing, which makes sense for being the dance team. I really didn't understand some trainees choosing a position that they were not comfortable with. Instead of showcasing what they are good at, they are trying something new, which is very risky in these survival shows. So... Um... Yeah...
