Universe League EP 10 PART 2
Added 2026-02-02 14:00:30 +0000 UTCThe journey is... over. Congratulations Universe League. You've raised the bar and my standards for any survival show, survival show MC, its judges, and the music... So good I need a break from survival shows just to really let it sit. Because for now... what show could even possibly compete?
What did you guys think of the Universe League journey? Who were you rooting for? Did your faves make it?

2026-02-04 20:25:52 +0000 UTCThis survival show actually made me sad, no matter what team debuted there was talent we were loosing out on. Although I do like that they committed to the premise of whatever team wins gets to debut, because most survival shows would backtrack and go for the popular members. Also, I do wish all the directors could help throughout like Changsub did but I don’t think it was logically possible. Got7 had a comeback around the time and WayV was on tour. Also the first draft was lowkey a make or break. Team Beat got really unlucky. Their best players were on their OG Bench lineup who were either stolen or got cut because they weren’t popular with either the live audience or the online voters. They also didn’t get a chance to steal players since they kept placing third. I do think if Groove was more cutthroat with their swaps, they probably would’ve won. They had many chances to steal some of Rhythm’s stronger players that weren’t JL and just didn’t. Although Changsub’s criteria was most definitely vocal focused which I can respect, it sadly just doesn’t seem to be something modern kpop fans resonate with.

2026-02-04 19:09:57 +0000 UTCYou know whats crazy that i realized In PD'sblind reaction to Rendezvous i remember him saying "This is so early 2010's coded" (which is around 2nd-3rd gen kpop). Then, in this episode he again mentioned missing the feeling of 2nd gen which he got in this show. THEN in the Pinocchio reaction, he ALSO mentioned AHOF was "bringing back the greatest music of 3rd gen" I dont think this was a coincidence, and i think it was pretty genius on the producers' part because they clearly had a good direction for what these boys will bring to the table from the start and honestly, i cant wait for what they cook up next One thing im kinda curious about is, now, AHOF are doing songs that have the team BEAT-ish sound. What if in the future, they have title tracks that are more RHYTHM? then maybe an album more team GROOVE-ish? they could do SO much with their concept

2026-02-04 01:10:08 +0000 UTCfinally i can scream at the top of my lungs I'm so proud of my bias line PPGz JL Woongki and Park Hannie!! (Powerpuffz - theyre called as so by the fandom because theyre the 3 leading in votes, and main vocalists of their team, and they coincidentally have the colors of the 3 powerpuff girls!): 😭 i rooted for them from the very beginning til the end and im just so glad theyre together. All three of them being in ONE group is such a cheat code. Imagine having THE Park Han, THE JL and THE Woongki in one group (we dont have to)

2026-02-04 00:39:14 +0000 UTCWhat a fun and heartbreaking (Kairi, Joohyoung and Hanseo😭😭) journey this was watching my ahof babies become a group for a 3rd time. I think I also need a break from survival shows, you're not alone PD haha. But this finale was especially so much fun to watch with you because of the amount of times you were losing your shit and the funniest part that this show was a year ago but your reaction made it feel like we're watching it live rn lol. Usually finales are pretty boring because of how long they are but not this time haha. Your one last crash out over EL CAPITXN is definitely going down in history, even Yugyeom did this to you this time, my boy finally got some attention too lol. I mean they both looked like they are going to gala. Our expensive parents😌 I also don't know how you will be able to watch any other survival show after this because UL for sure set the bar very very high. Not saying that it was perfect, I think every survival show has its flaws but those flaws were almost non-existent here or they were not as big and important compared to other shows. Just hoping that future survival shows are taking notes from UL how to make a healthy but still very entertaining show. And that MAGIC, that MAGIC that we saw here in most of the performances it's not something you can copy but it's achievable if you have a very good music and very special idols like Joohyoung and Woongki.

2026-02-03 11:26:54 +0000 UTCRhythm to me had a spark that was missing from the other group. Maybe it's the way the editing portrayed them as a team center compared to the other teams. IMO, Groove was mentor centered and Beat was the struggling story. But Rhythm had a special spark and also star power in their members. But having Hani and WK in Rhythm as the final line up works so well. Their dynamics are hilarious and their synergy works so well. Honestly, I think having a team in Rhythm full of foreigners helped cuz they had to adapt and communicate better to get their points across cuz many did not speak the same language fluently. Plus cultures being more accepting and open.

2026-02-03 01:30:20 +0000 UTCI'm glad you loved this show just as much as I did :) if you're looking for AHOF content to watch to get to know their personalities better, I'd recommend both their Idol Human Theater episodes (they did one for debut era and one for Pinocchio era), and their Silence of Idol episode. All of these literally had me cackling watching them, so funny!!
