after the conclusion of the modeling
competition, the show returned
to the task at hand

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; who are our lucky 2?

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; our first safe trainee would never be in this position if we didn't have certain rules

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; because they've impressed the voters enough to also be our 8th place trainee

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; congratulations, kawahara kei!

SEO RYEON [ 3 ☆ the skater ] ; 8th place was in trouble?

BAE JEONGHOON [ 3 ☆ the imitator ] ; seems a lot of us were saved by our groups...

BAE JEONGHOON [ 3 ☆ the imitator ] ; for that, i send my thanks

YOON SOOYOUNG [ 3 ☆ the deer ] ; wait... then audrey??? [scans for her]

SEO RYEON [ 3 ☆ the skater ] ; she's already safe ri...

KAWAHARA KEI [ 3 ☆ the prankster ] ; i was a little worried there [chuckles]

KAWAHARA KEI [ 3 ☆ the prankster ] ; but maybe i shouldn't have

KAWAHARA KEI [ 3 ☆ the prankster ] ; [grins] because here we are

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; next trainee off the chopping block is...

LEE NAYEON [ 3 ☆ the flower ] ; [frowns] that's so harsh...

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; someone who seems to frequently take a step back, yet always finds a way to shine on stage

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; congratulations to our 13th place,

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; hak seungjun!

SEO KAIRO [ 2 ☆ the bookworm ] ; seungjun wah~!

HAK SEUNGJUN [ 3 ☆ the repeater ] ; [had already excepted defeat so he's in shock]

DO DAEWON [ 2 ☆ the prince ] ; [gently hits him with his elbow] congrats seungjun

DO DAEWON [ 2 ☆ the prince ] ; [light smile] you deserve it

HAK SEUNGJUN [ 3 ☆ the repeater ] ; [looks at him and frowns] daewon...

DO DAEWON [ 2 ☆ the prince ] ; don't look at me like that~

DO DAEWON [ 2 ☆ the prince ] ; smile and get up there, [playful look] i'll just be offended if you act like you just lost

seungjun finds himself enveloping
daewon in a hug before daewon
demonstrates a smile and pushes
him upstairs to his seat

AUDREY STEWART [ 2 ☆ the impulse ] ; why am i the only one left of our original team..?

JEONG AURAE [ 2 ☆ the engineer ] ; why are you focusing on that [crosses arms] i just lost

AUDREY STEWART [ 2 ☆ the impulse ] ; aurae, i'll miss you! [takes her in a hug]

JEONG AURAE [ 2 ☆ the engineer ] ; [shakes head but hugs back] you better get revenge for us

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; once again, i'd like to wish all our eliminated trainees the best with their future endeavors!

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; and now it's time to move on to our ranking announcement

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; as you can see, excluding 13th place, our entire back row is empty

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; without the rewards given to the battle winners, all of these trainees could've been in danger of elimination today

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; if your rankings don't improve after our next mission, all of you and our 13th place will be eliminated

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; to be clearer, only 12 trainees will survive the next elimination

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; and there will be NO instant stars

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; with your EXP being reset after today, you will all be on the same playing field.

KANG JAEHYUK [ 3 ☆ the model ] ; saying that before revealing them is rude

SEVYN LEE [ 3 ☆ the psychologist ] ; they are just letting us know we should be worried

HEO JUNGJIN [ 3 ☆ the mascot ] ; like the battle is just beginning... wow!

JI YUJUN [ 3 ☆ the psychic ] ; this isn't even my goal, but why am i suddenly so heated?

JI YUJUN [ 3 ☆ the psychic ] ; you might have to hold me back

SEOL YERIM [ 3 ☆ the lawyer ] ; it's because it's real.

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; but [laughs] i'm jumping ahead, aren't i?

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; let's stay in the present [grins]

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; in 19th place is the trainee that received the least EXP out of all 24 trainees,

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; they may say they're a star, but then they better get out there and shine

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; congratulations, bae jeonghoon

BAE JEONGHOON [ 3 ☆ the imitator ] ; [gets caught mouthing his own name as misun calls it]

BAE JEONGHOON [ 3 ☆ the imitator ] ; this isn't a surprising result,

BAE JEONGHOON [ 3 ☆ the imitator ] ; but i think it's time i leave the back row, hm?

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; next in 18th place we have one of the trainees saved by their group

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; [glances] let's hope they're not regretting it with the way things have progressed

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; congratulations, kang jaehyuk

KANG JAEHYUK [ 3 ☆ the model ] ; [directed comment as he walks to sit] such a lifeless announcement, mi

KANG JAEHYUK [ 3 ☆ the model ] ; i think i'd deserve more [chuckles]

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; nah

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; our 17th trainee may actually be happy about their ranking today,

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; because unlike last mission, they would've been safe even without the benefit

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; congratulations, ji yujun

JI YUJUN [ 3 ☆ the psychic ] ; [jumps up] yeah!

JI YUJUN [ 3 ☆ the psychic ] ; i'm no longer last place~

JI YUJUN [ 3 ☆ the psychic ] ; [jokingly sticks his tongue out at jeonghoon as he sits down]

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; in 16th place is a trainee that i've heard sent the producers an audience blacklist,

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; and we all have to continue enduring their energy...

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; congratulations, heo jungjin

HEO JUNGJIN [ 3 ☆ the mascot ] ; my energy is a blessing~!

HEO JUNGJIN [ 3 ☆ the mascot ] ; don't disrespect me with that!

KANG JAEHYUK [ 3 ☆ the model ] ; who'd you blacklist?

HEO JUNGJIN [ 3 ☆ the mascot ] ; [sits down] no comment!

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; our 15th trainee is set on getting their face out there

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; even if this show doesn't work out, they have a backup plan it seems...

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; congratulations, lee nayeon

LEE NAYEON [ 3 ☆ the flower ] ; who said my vlogs were a backup plan?!

LEE NAYEON [ 3 ☆ the flower ] ; they're for my street casted documentary obviously~

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; the last trainee in the back row is our 14th place,

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; hm... this is surprising, we have our first safe trainee who's ranking actually went down...

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; after winning in multiple ways, this may hold less congrats, but nonetheless

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; congratulations, yoon sooyoung

SEO RYEON [ 3 ☆ the skater ] ; rini is in the danger zone? how?

KIAN HWANG [ 3 ☆ the wannabe ] ; she should be higher though...

YOON SOOYOUNG [ 3 ☆ the deer ] ; you're acting like i got eliminated [chuckles]

YOON SOOYOUNG [ 3 ☆ the deer ] ; i'm glad i was called at all

YOON SOOYOUNG [ 3 ☆ the deer ] ; i better see you in the middle~ [smiles at them before heading to her seat]

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; i already highlighted the pressure the back row faces, but i wouldn't say those in the front should be having a sigh of relief now

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; [slowly peers at the group still sitting in front of her]

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; let's begin with 12th place!

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; this trainee is from a mission 3 group that has only been involved in elimination announcements so far

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; and after having their stability complimented

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; i send my congratulations to shin kyuhyun

SHIN KYUHYUN [ 3 ☆ the buff guy ] ; [gets hit in the eye with light] oh that's bright..

SHIN KYUHYUN [ 3 ☆ the buff guy ] ; [bows his a head a little] thank you

SHIN KYUHYUN [ 3 ☆ the buff guy ] ; [shuffles to his seat]

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; in 11th place is our only past trainee yet to be called,

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; but it seems she's your style~

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; congratulations, seo ryeon

SEO RYEON [ 3 ☆ the skater ] ; it's only up now, right? [winks and sends a heart to the camera]

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; our 10th place has gone up in ranking after their extinguishing skills were seen

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; and it looks like it wasn't necessary to give them a save

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; congratulations, moon seongmin

MOON SEONGMIN [ 3 ☆ the bankrupted ] ; maybe 10 should be my lucky number :)

KAWAHARA KEI [ 3 ☆ the prankster ] ; say that and you'll find yourself stuck there

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; our 9th place, has fallen from grace

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; after seeing that the top 5 isn't a permanent position, one might say this fall was a little lighter

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; congratulations, sevyn lee

SEVYN LEE [ 3 ☆ the psychologist ] ; i think i deserved that...

MIN SOOYUN [ 3 ☆ the fox ] ; don't hit yourself over this... hm... you sit pretty close to kyuhyun

SEVYN LEE [ 3 ☆ the psychologist ] ; [looks immediately] ah... not that close

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; skipping over, in 7th, is a trainee that looks like a cinnamon roll but could kill you,

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; congratulations, park rose

ANN KIM [ 3 ☆ the rockstar ] ; rosie congrats! [smiles before suddenly blanking]

ANN KIM [ 3 ☆ the rockstar ] ; wait- when did we hit single digits

PARK ROSE [ 3 ☆ the foodie ] ; [grins] thank you~

PARK ROSE [ 3 ☆ the foodie ] ; i'll see you up there!

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; hm... looks like we only have 1 more trainee before the top 5...

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; well, our 6th place trainee has some sharp sides and some soft sides

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; i'd beware of getting cut if they weren't putting the band aid on as well

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; congratulations, ann kim

PARK ROSE [ 3 ☆ the foodie ] ; [pouts] i meant i'd see you in the middle

ANN KIM [ 3 ☆ the rockstar ] ; that result has to be saved for last or it'd lose its value

ANN KIM [ 3 ☆ the rockstar ] ; [caves to the look rose and kei give her]

ANN KIM [ 3 ☆ the rockstar ] ; is it that bad to hide my feelings gosh

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; now it's the fun part, our top 5!

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; in 5th place is a trainee that isn't always standing with the best view of themselves, but their actions seem to support them more than they might think

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; congratulations, kian hwang

KIAN HWANG [ 3 ☆ the wannabe ] ; ah... [looks around] can somebody pinch me?

KIAN HWANG [ 3 ☆ the wannabe ] ; [gets pinched by ann] ow.. thanks...

KIAN HWANG [ 3 ☆ the wannabe ] ; so, this isn't a dream [nervous laugh]

KIAN HWANG [ 3 ☆ the wannabe ] ; we've all stood on this stage before, but right now it feels different

KIAN HWANG [ 3 ☆ the wannabe ] ; this isn't a permanent place, but it gives me hope that all my dreams aren't hopeless

KIAN HWANG [ 3 ☆ the wannabe ] ; [looks down while holding the mic with two hands]

KIAN HWANG [ 3 ☆ the wannabe ] ; [looks back up] thank you everyone

KIAN HWANG [ 3 ☆ the wannabe ] ; i won't let you down, fighting ^w^

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; after a great victory last mission,

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; our 4th place trainee, despite falling slightly, showed some of their best on the stage

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; congratulations, audrey stewart

AUDREY STEWART [ 3 ☆ the impulse ] ; it'd be wrong to stand here and complain about falling

AUDREY STEWART [ 3 ☆ the impulse ] ; especially when there's multiple wonderful people going home today

AUDREY STEWART [ 3 ☆ the impulse ] ; but at the request of the true princess, those above me better be scared

AUDREY STEWART [ 3 ☆ the impulse ] ; [edited fire eyes] because it's time to enact revenge~!

AUDREY STEWART [ 3 ☆ the impulse ] ; [edited to get hit with water as she calms down and smiles]

AUDREY STEWART [ 3 ☆ the impulse ] ; but of course to do that, i'll need your support!

AUDREY STEWART [ 3 ☆ the impulse ] ; i send my love~! <3

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; hm... our 3rd place must be feeling bittersweet...

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; but i won't let that ruin the announcement!

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; after getting the chance to shine center stage, our 3rd place truly reaped the reward

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; congratulations, min sooyun

MIN SOOYUN [ 3 ☆ the fox ] ; it feels like i'm being pranked right now

MIN SOOYUN [ 3 ☆ the fox ] ; i'm 3rd actually...?

MIN SOOYUN [ 3 ☆ the fox ] ; wow~! thank you!

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; and then there were 2....

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; please come up on stage

kairo and yerim now stand center stage

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; [peers over and laughs] this is giving me dejavu

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; a competition between kairo and the winning center

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; do we think kairo can hold his 1st place spot as well this time?!

HEO JUNGJIN [ 3 ☆ the mascot ] ; it has to be kairo right?

HEO JUNGJIN [ 3 ☆ the mascot ] ; i mean his fans are a force [shivers]

LEE NAYEON [ 3 ☆ the flower ] ; no! it's time for queen yerim's reign!

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; two intelligent trainees, but our first place is more progressed...

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; congratulations...

SEOL YERIM [ 3 ☆ the lawyer ] ; [grabs the mic and dusts herself off a little before speaking]

SEOL YERIM [ 3 ☆ the lawyer ] ; i want to start off by saying thank you for this meaningful spot

SEOL YERIM [ 3 ☆ the lawyer ] ; i don't expect this to be a permanent position considering the most recent turn of events

SEOL YERIM [ 3 ☆ the lawyer ] ; but i hope you allow me to be a proper first place until the time is over [smiles]

MISUN [ the recruiter ] ; and automatically, this makes seo kairo our 2nd place!

SEO KAIRO [ 3 ☆ the bookworm ] ; [blanks] 2nd?

SEO KAIRO [ 3 ☆ the bookworm ] ; i should be relieved, 1st is a lot of pressure [chuckles]

SEO KAIRO [ 3 ☆ the bookworm ] ; but in this case, 2nd is worse than last

SEO KAIRO [ 3 ☆ the bookworm ] ; i won't back down [determined] and i'll carry along my friends [looks at the fallen trainees] with your support back up!

FINAL SEATS

COMING UP NEXT

??? ; how do we even perform all those songs? is it like groups of 2 or 3 all around or..?

??? ; never back down, never WHAT

??? ; NEVER GIVE UP

??? ; i'm falling~ falling down in a river of tears

??? ; well... this is awkward

??? ; how'd you end up here????

important!

the rankings are wrong ultimately, so if your
trainee ranked below 3rd place, their ranking
has been moved up 1 place. this also means
that the top 5 now includes ann as well.

i will write some random explanation in
the next part, but sooyun has left, meaning
our 20th place becomes the 19th and gets to
stay for another round. this trainee is aurae.

i would've just removed sooyun initially,
but i already made all the edits and
i wasn't going to remake them-
