[Survival Show] I-LAND - Episode 2

Another interesting episode. I really like a lot of elements the show uses, like how to determine parts between each other, how the judges vote and how THE GROUND works.

I went on a little "rant" at the end about my "work schedule" with YouTube, Patreon & so on right now. Don't mind me if you're not interested in that lmao.

[Survival Show] I-LAND - Episode 2

Comments

I know that I'm late, but. About ej and daniel. When they show how ej Gone, and daniel sat alone, it actually was an evil edit. They release an i land cam without editing from mnet and there you can see that ej was in the room. It turns out mnet just erased the guy

allie

Mine are Heesung, Jay, Geonu, Sunghoon & Nicholas. Seon is a special Case for me because I think he would make a great Leader and be a good Person to deal with the Company and Group Dynamics.

What are your favs so far? I think mine are TaKi, Heeseung, Jay, Geonu, Hanbin .. those 5 maybe? But I can't say much about the Ground people so far cus we haven't seen much

cru3l tmo

True. I think the next 2 episodes will be crucial to me for cementing my favorite members and picking out the ones I just don't vibe with.

BaoziBang (Tali)

Yea I was also thinking about that. They really like to edit out stuff, especially mnet/CJ. So I wouldn't be too sure either and that's why I take all this with a grain of salt. It's just nitpicking at this point, since whenever you search for your fav trainees you have to seperate them into levels of how much you like them and you focus on the bad things aswell to do that.^^

The Problem with Shows like this is I also can't be sure what they edited out. Maybe some Trainees were super shady and it wasn't shown or maybe EJ and Daniel talked about everything. There is no way for us to actually know what's going on in the time they don't show us.

BaoziBang (Tali)

Oh right... I think so. I watched Episode 1 Live so I missed a few things. I mean, I'm still not the biggest Fan of Niki but at least he told him? Just imagine you were Daniel and go home in the evening and watch episode 2 and find out your friend voted to have you eliminated. That's a lot worse in my opinion. Btw, I thought about K and realized - he seems super nice and cute with Taki but super shady with Niki. Maybe he is an Adapter Type. He adapts or gets super easily influenced by the people he surrounds himself with. Could be the explanation why I feel weird about him but neither really like or dislike him

BaoziBang (Tali)

So basically: I think they weren't told by the show who voted for them. It was just some trainees told them about who they voted for. And when EJ got voted out, Daniel ran to him and comforted him but EJ was acting like he would be happy if Daniel was eliminated cus he wants to work with some new people. That's why I was so disgusted by EJ

cru3l tmo

As far as I remember, didn't Niki sit down with Taki right at the start of the episode, whenever Taki got voted out and was about to leave into the elevator, and tell him that he voted for him but because he just wants him to become better in the ground? And people later on in the Ground, when Taki said that was Niki's reason, all told him that was a lie and bullshit. And I honestly am not 100% sure but also feel like it's more a lie than it's not by Niki.

cru3l tmo

I really want to know the individual scores AND how much the Trainees actually know. Like, Taki knew that Niki voted him out Hut did Niki tell him or does everyone know who voted them out. Daniel didn't say anything about EJ so if Niki told Taki I would like him a lot more (and EJ a lot less)

BaoziBang (Tali)

That is pretty true. Seon did really well and fit right into the group in ep2. But then again, their scores were all so freaking low.. how well did he/they actually do T_T

cru3l tmo

I think that was mostly the desperation. Maybe I'm also influenced by the fact that he only was like, shady, in the first episode. Some of the others (Niki, K, EJ) always give me weird feelings.

BaoziBang (Tali)

Yea, no. I get that. I'm also kinda like that. But to me that's different from what he did. He could have just done that: become friends with everyone, over time. But he wanted to look good towards everyone and butter them up right before the voting, since he knew his performance wasn't that good on the intro stage. And he ran around talking to everyone 1to1 in 2 hours of time, which is really hard to even do lol, since there's so many people and they're all excited. Feel like it's a lil dirty if you feel me. But it's not comparable to Niki or EJ who betrayed their friends to stay in there (EJ) or just for whatever reason (Niki)

cru3l tmo

I'm the same with K. I don't know WHY I feel weird about him, I just do. Heesung does seem like the most genuine in my Opinion. I think his Mindset is "If I do the best and my Group does good I will debut because I HAVE TO THIS TIME!" Heesung tries to figure out how the system works to get the best results. It's the most genuine way to play the game in my opinion.

BaoziBang (Tali)

"In the right Way" is probably only ohrased like that because it makes me feel better. I'm kind of like him. I would try to be friends with everyone and be a leader of a kind too if I was in his situation.

BaoziBang (Tali)

How do you think Heeseung plays the game? To me he seems to be one of the most genuine trainees there. I can see why you say K. He seems somehow sneaky, but I don't quite grasp why I think that yet myself.

cru3l tmo

Not sure if I would call Seon's way "the right way", he just has his own techniques. I think it's not totally bad to do it like him, but it also feels slightly desperate. But as you said, he might definitely be just that, because he is training for so long already. And yeah, Niki (and elso EJ, moreso him to me) both feel more than just selfish. Let's see if EJ has grown into more of a teamplayer, we didn't see much in this episode yet about the Ground.

cru3l tmo

Jungwon was the one I later thought might have gotten he highest score with the 75 aswell. I think his dance was great, the facial expressions were pretty decent and he even sung (and well at that) while having that "worm" dance move, which was insane.

cru3l tmo

I also totally get the Way Heesung, Seon and K play the Game. They are the 3 longest Trainees which means they probably lost like 60 People they liked in their Time before ever starting this Show. It will take Time for them to actually really get attached to People if they didn't know them before.

BaoziBang

Personally, I would have picked Heesung, Geonu or... Jungwon? For part 1. All 3 did great with the dancing and the vocals.

BaoziBang

I like that they have to play the Game in this Show BUT it also makes it extremely easy to me to decide who to like who plays mind games and who not. Seon I like, he plays the game but in the right way and he has the dance and vocals skills to back up his talk. Niki on the other hand plays the game a bit underhanded and even though he is a great Dancer he doesn't have the vocal skills to back up his ambitions.
