Overall this episode showed the evaluations of the i-landers and producers to decide who to drop off from i-land. The eliminations came as expected except for one trainee. I have to say I did not expect it.For the last performance of the grounders, the part distribution was unfair to the grounders who had been practicing for days and then had to change their parts. They also got shorter parts, especially Hanbin had finally found his confidence to get part 1 and people accepted. But now he has 1 line, as amazing as he is at that line it was unfair. He always has good results from online views of fancams and such but I hope he will climb to the i-land. At least he deserves to enter the competition for the final lineup. For the next 6 people who will go up, I expect: Geonu, Sunoo, Hanbin, Daniel, Niki, Nicholas or Jaebeom or Taki. My personal favorites depending on the last performance especially, are Hanbin, Jimin, Seongcheol/Taeyong, Niki, EJ ?. I like Geonu but in this stage he was not eye-catching, his vocals did not stand out either. But he will go up probably, I will vote for him too, he was so good in the previous performances. Another thing to decide the last 6 is: the votes that had been going to 6 current i-landers before, will now go to grounders. I will try to make a guess on whose votes would be "transferred" to who.**Heeseung: he was the favorite of many., all rounder and good-looking. sonoo, geonu will def get his votes. also daniel, niki too.**Sunghoon: praised for looks mostly. also vocal and different dance (skater) Sonoo, daniel, geonu maybe EJ can get his votes.**Jay - Jake: These two are more of a dancing and personality attractions. Nicholas, niki, Hanbin, Taki can get their votes.**K: All rounder. his votes could go to Taki and Niki, from japan. also to Geonu and nicholas and hanbin.**Jeongwon: all rounder, maknae line, stable vocal, unexpected dancing skills. sonoo, daniel, geonu and EJ can get his votes.overall: geonu, sonoo, daniel, hanbin, niki and nicholas/taki will get popular vote probably. But then again, guys like EJ, kyungmin, jaebeom who also has supporters might create a suprise again. seon, youngbin wont go back again(i dont think they should), and jaeho, seongcheol and taeyong, jimin will be the victims of mnet and the show.

This episode confirmed that youtube view stats indicate who will get the global vote but not exactly in order. Hanbin had the most views on his cams but he was the last one to join. This may have something to do with viewers who vote but do not stream that much and vote on multiple acccounts. Youtube does not show each country's dynamics that well. In the next episode one trainee will be eliminated by the producers. Looking at the groups, DNA team seems like a good dance team, they have good expressions as well. I'm expecting Hanbin to get recognition in this performance and hope that he won't be the first one to go. But considering his votes are currently 12th maybe the pds will not give him more chance if he does not perfectly perform every detail. He is the reason I actually started voting for this show and following closely the updates so I hope to see him continue. Another unlucky contestant is Geonu, who has the best stable tenor vocal imo, but does not appeal to the viewer that much. I think he would be great in a band, so secretly wishing him to go down that road. I think Jake and Sunghoon does not stand out that much. For me the top3 are K, Jungwon and Heesung. Niki and Jay are next. Hanbin could be a good addition but they will probably leave him sooner or later, have to face this fact. Taki needs some improvement but he is really good and cute. Geonu is a good vocal but may be dropped by both pds and public. And lastly Sunoo and Daniel, they have appeal and potential. I think they both are good vocals and visuals. They were not my top picks but I think they are better suited than Jake and even Sunghoon.In that case, I think next episode the producers won't eliminate someone with a huge appeal to the public, if they did I would respect a lot the courage, so even if Sunoo, Daniel messes up, they will be safe. And the more annoying aspect of this test is that the 12th contestant may be saved if he is in the top group. I have hopes that 1st will be DNA (K, Jay, Niki, Hanbin) but you never know. If Hanbin gets eliminated because the 12th was in the top group, could be Jake, I think that's really unfair. Hoping for a nice episode this friday! Hope my votes for Hanbin are not in vain right now and he is still at i-land. I also want to see some Hanbin X K, XHeesung, X Jay, XJungwon XGeonu interaction. Actually, Hanbin did the same parts as Geonu in Fire and then gave his spot to him in I&Credible, in which he performed better, and he seemed very friendly towards him last episode during the BTS advise. Contrary to this, Geonu seems a bit uptight and he does not show that much care for him, or others.

The midpoint came so fast. I expect these candidates to be eliminated from i-land, and get the popular votes:Eliminated by producers: (they said the 3 have similar personality)- se on (shown at the end of ep5)- young bin- jae beom I think these two maybe similar to se on, they dont stand out too much and did not improve a lot (pd said sth abt this)Eliminated by i-lander: - EJ- Kyungminand 1 of:- Jake / Jay (they both helped the other practice but maybe?)-JeongWon /Geonu: JW has been eliminated but saved by K before. Geonu does not have much on screen time and interactions, so who knows, but he def have the best vocal imoGets the popular vote(from current grounders only):- sunoo- hanbin- daniel- takiNiki may not get so much sport from global vote, he said he expected it (some people do not look at talent (maybe a ref to iland as well))Popular vote Overall:- Heesung- Sunoo-Sunghoon-Hanbin-Jeongwon-DanielThis part is tricky. Because at first, you think people only vote the grounders to save them, but then you realize, if one is eliminated to ground, they will need those votes too so people vote their favorites for sure. So although Heeseung, K, sunghoon, jungwon, geonu, jake and jay does not seem at the risk of elimination, there is still chance because 6 of them must go. So, in this case probably they will get popular votes as well, and maybe one of them who gets eliminated, will go back up with that votes.Who I Vote For: (and times)Hanbin (4+K (4+Niki (4+Nicholas(3+Taki(3+Daniel(3+Geonu(1+Jeongwon(1+
