"welcome back everyone! who's
ready to see what the girls prepared
for us today? i sure am! but before
we start, why don't we hear what
our special mentors have to say."

baekhyun: this is a big challenge for
the girls. trainee can either do it or they
can't, just like the concept switch mission.
i'm wishing for the best, seeing how much
they practiced for this moment.

taeyong: i think some of the performances
will highlight the skills of certain trainees. if
they worked hard enough, which i think they
did, all will be well!

suga: i'm most excited for fake love! i'll try
my best not to be biased when judging, but
i'll either be impressed or offended...

san: i think i did my best to teach important
tips on charisma and stage presence, oh and
especially duality! the trainees will need that if
the final joyride group does various concepts!

"alright... first up is 'no mercy'
team performing alligator!"

NAHYEON as YEONJUNG
DAHYE as DAYOUNG
XINJUN as SEOLA
SOOYEON as LUDA
HARIN as BONA

baekhyun: good vocals and nice
rap parts... i guess. sure, this is a
challenging song to perform, but
you should've known that before
choosing your team. i just didn't
see the energy and hard work
that was required. how long are
we gonna have to keep reminding
you girls about this?

taeyong: i feel like everything was
too rushed. some trainees didn't have
parts that fit them well and honestly
the whole performance was messy.
all i'm gonna say is that i don't like it
when the better trainees leave the
others behind because they assume
there's nothing more to improve.
not a good example of teamwork.

suga: i know you girls could've done
better here. you're all friends and you
all know what works best for you, so
why didn't i see anything above average
in this showcase? how disappointing.

san: y'all had all the expressions,
power, energy, stage presence, and
duality in the world! nice! but like
taeyong said, some of the energy was
over-exerted and therefore, it made
for a sloppy performance.

with taemin's song move..."

MINA ( L ) as MINA
SANA as CHAEYOUNG
JOYOUNG AS DAHYUN
LIJIAN as MOMO

baekhyun: sensational indeed! i
really liked the team name. anyways,
i saw lots of mistakes from sana and
lijian... but maybe i was just focusing
on how great joyoung & mina were!

taeyong: i wasn't sure how well you
girls could pull off a song like this, but
i was blown away! the song was fitting
for you girls, so i'm glad you joined this
team. only thing is, your expressions
didn't exactly fit the concept well.

suga: this was a nice differentiation
from the songs you joyride trainees
usually perform, and i'm here for it!
i was also glad to see a different
range from your vocals! this was a
perfect performance to make your-
selves stand out, but i think there
we're too many mistakes to call
it perfect. better luck next time...

san: woah that was sexy! wait, am i not
allowed to say that on here? oh, sorry!
i-i'm new here... um, nice job girls! you
all sounded & looked fantastic! i say
you get a 9/10 today.

CHAERI as SUMIN
JOON as EUIJIN
HANBYEOL as NEWSUN
YOONA as NAHYUN
EUNBI as MINJAE
DASOM as HIGH D

baekhyun: i wanna cry that was so good.
this is a group of trainees that i really don't
want to be eliminated, all seven of you. i hope
you can make it to the elite eight, my loves.

taeyong: line distributions on point! i can
tell a lot of effort was put into everything i
just watched. my only complaints are for kim
eunbi... you made very obvious mistakes that
made it seem like you didn't practice at all.
and joon, i heard a mistakes from you too.

suga: i was really, really pleased with the
raps, and though i don't have experience in
vocals, the vocals were perfect too! your
voices fit the song well so i think you all
chose the right team to be on! great work!

san: wow, just wow! i thought your
performance was great! however, you
all seemed to lack a bit of power or
stage presence today? i don't know,
maybe work on your versatility.

GAEUN as MIYEON
RAEHYUN ( L ) as SOYEON
NANAMI as MINNIE
MEIHUA as YUQI
HYUNA as SHUHUA
HYUN as SOOJIN

baekhyun: wasn't raehyun a leader
last mission? why choose her again when
she's not even fitting for a leader? this was
likely the cause of your teams mistakes.

taeyong: i'm impressed! especially with
the vocals! i know there are a few too
many rappers here, but i was impressed
to see a new side to these girls!

suga: i understand the line distribution
could've been hard, but i think you all
pulled it off well. thanks for performing
my group's song! i'm flattered... but are
you sure raehyun should've had the
main raps? i just don't understand it.

[ camera cut: ahn raehyun
"i thought i could impress suga... my
whole team was supportive of me
too, but i guess i just overshot it..." ]

san: nice expressions. everything seemed
to flow well too! like the others mentioned,
i wish a more skilled rapper could've taken
the main raps, but i understand if the group
wanted to try and build raehyun's skills.
