This show profits of putting little teen boys under intense pressure. I call this shit inhumane. In my country programs like these can't even be made because it is literally against the law. I like reality tv but what i do not stan is making teen boys cry from the age of 14 and up that is WRONG.

It makes me sad that even in the last moments of selecting the last six members they continued putting these boys under so much pressure while they had to wait two weeks for the results i am disgusted

Honestly, i really liked the concept of this show. Where the participants were given the opportunity to grow. Sadly, the execution was horrible. Grounders that were 'promoted' to the Iland were voted out super quickly because they were still seen as grounders in the iland. This gave the og ilanders a little bit of an advantage. A better execution would have been to put the grounders in iland to so they would be viewed as equals. So every vote from Ilanders themselves would have been more fair and not based on mostly friendship. If you want some difference give ilanders a fricking bracelet for all i care.

And DONT get me started on the hypocrisy from Bang PD nim saying he's better for not doing any of these idol debut shows and than literally doing one.

So if you love to see kids cry or want to cry your heart out because of the injustice these kids have to go trough DAMN THIS IS PERFECT FOR YOU

EDIT 21 sept:
I know this review can seem a bit one sided but i really tried adding something positive to my review. I just can't think of anything. A few people who also wrote a review have said that this show is a good learning opportunity for the contestants. After giving this some thought i really don't agree. I think that the only thing these people are going to learn is how to be in constant fear and feel like they are not good enough. This show will traumatize these kids and probably give them a lot of unnecessary mental issues they now have to cope with too and that at the age of 14. This will NOT help them debut.
