I think Mnet definitely took Miyu and Miho out of the top 12...Honestly for IZ*ONE i think given the 20 finalist that is a pretty perfect 12.
I was not on board with Hyewon but she is this physical, clingy, quirky kid who just resonates with people.
would they have more vocal talent if ya swapped in Chowon ... certainly, but this team has remarkable chemistry.
Not really but I think it's fun to speculate plus if screen time was the only deciding factor then Mnet wouldn't of had to rig the votes in the first place...honestly does it really matter? screentime playes some part too so the ones shown alot would be voted on more anyway
I've thought that Jonghyun was intentionally taken out since the season 2 finale and now that we have it confirmed that Mnet has definitely rigged the lineup of X1, I'm even more certain of it. I wouldn't be surprised if they took Baekho out too so that Pledis could have a NU'EST W...I think Wanna One line-up was perfect the way it was. They had such great chemistry as a group, anyone who has watched their variety, how they acted during concerts (I mean these boys played mafia backstage lmao) would know it well. I'll be honest though, there were members who I wasn't as fond of (mostly maknae line) but I grew to love them a lot.
And.. uh. I mean if there was indeed rigging, there'd be just one different member (if it's really true that Jonghyun got got rigged) but I'm 100% convinced that Pledis pulled him out on purpose and if they actually did, we'll never know which member was supposed to not make it, anyways. I really can't speak for X1 much although I find Minhee making it most suspicious.
Well, I'm freaking thankful if they did, Baekho is my NU'EST bias and I wouldn't want him to be stuck in a dungeon either. Without this NU'EST would have disbanded for sure. 100%, there's no denying to this. I mean the majority of people bitching about Jonghyun not making it don't even care about NU'EST or follow the group at all, they didn't care about NU'EST W either.... they just wanted Jonghyun to be in Wanna One for fame. But what happened to him is honestly the best outcome and even if Pledis indeed rigged it like that, it was good rigging at least.I've thought that Jonghyun was intentionally taken out since the season 2 finale and now that we have it confirmed that Mnet has definitely rigged the lineup of X1, I'm even more certain of it.

i do not think they ever had a shot. I would be more convinced they manipulated week 11 than week 12.I think Mnet definitely took Miyu and Miho out of the top 12...
True. The fact that the rigging on PDX101 started on episode 2 really makes you lose hope in the whole process.Its extremly impossible to know
say the first round of votes were rigged the members who left could all been the true finale line up
I think the first season they prob didnt rig as much maybe one member and then they were getting loads member didnt want then downhill from thenTrue. The fact that the rigging on PDX101 started on episode 2 really makes you lose hope in the whole process.
Do you guys think it's been like this since season 1 or did Mnet just get too cocky with the amount of rigging they thought they could get away with?
If he was meant to be rigged in, why MNET didn’t? Koreans didn’t want him in the final line-up and that’s the fact.I think the first season they prob didnt rig as much maybe one member and then they were getting loads member didnt want then downhill from then
kim samuel i bet was meant for the finale line up
