[@dezwatchesyt92]

Without a doubt Mannequeen had the best performance of the night

[@jess_holyfield]

I would place it as my personal favorite as well!

mannequeen really have an epic comeback from this one, if they don't go to the final with this i'm cry...

[@jess_holyfield]

I’m really hoping for good results for them!

[@005ahw]

wish funky_y had more opportunities to show how good she is in heels and legwork in other challenges.. she was amazing in this

[@jess_holyfield]

Definitely one of our best showcases of her in the show!

[@CasqueHD]

Mannequeen is so iconic, the ammount of talent they have is insane.

[@jess_holyfield]

They really have a great power and essence about them! Can’t wait to see how the live versions look!

[@maiathebee410]

Mannequeen was aaamaaaaaazing for this challenge

[@jess_holyfield]

SLAYED I tell you!

[@chihotang313]

Yoonji and Wackxxxy walking foward together and waacking with smiles on their face might be a call back to when they did their duo routine in episode 1 or 2 and got told they can only show aggression and scary when dancing by monika and can't dance pretty.

[@jess_holyfield]

I absolutely love this! So glad Mannequeen showed up and showed out here!

[@gladis2646]

Mannequeen’s performance is top notch and they have been consistent from Kpop challenge, mega crew and this one. They do great each time so I do hope they make it to final.

[@jess_holyfield]

I’m hopeful for good results for them next week!

[@nyx9924]

I don't even have much opinion on this one. Mannequeen ate 1Million up 😭😭😭 I also love that we get to see more Mannequeen's original theme in this misson. They also showcased Buckey's choreo style early on cause i just know that part after the Funky Y cartwheel was her input lmao. And for the second section, seeing Funky Y's heels + floor choreo is just SOOOO satisfying cause we barely see them in most missions😭. And we don't even need to talk about the waacks, just crazy💀👍

[@jess_holyfield]

They TOOK IT THERE and it was such a vibe to watch!!!

[@lexkeeem]

Manequeen slayeeeed hard in this round. Sad to hear they are most likely going to be automatically eliminated without even having the chance to battle to next round :((

[@jess_holyfield]

It's the bitter evil of this portion of the competition.. I had that thought when I realized Eo-ddae was eliminated on SMF with no opportunity to earn a spot in the finals, but I'm hopeful that no matter the results, all crews have brought nothing short of the BEST!!

[@SaradaHaruno]

That's really unlikely 1. Even if MQ received low score from Chili challenge, they were in the middle with the global voting + TikTok/Instagram votes. 2. With this challenge, even if 1M will mostly win the votes, their gap isn't big. 3. The two most likely to be eliminated w/o battling are Wolflo or Ladybounce. Both did low in the chili votes. Also, they have the biggest gaps with Bebe and JR which will only make their scores lower. Even according to the spoilers, Wolflo lost the judges + onsite battle which only lower their scores further. Either way, I still hope they remove the automatic elimination. They all deserve to show their battles first

[@lexkeeem]

@@SaradaHaruno Thats what i hope but sadly there is calculation thats out in korean websites that calculated with their views+likes+mission bonus. As of now it’s Lady Bounce va Wolflo vs Manequinn. And also dont want to spoil but the crowd vote results for the battle mission has already been spoiled and with that combined it’s most likely manequinn will be eliminated

[@SaradaHaruno]

@@lexkeeem I also saw that but there were factors that they didn't consider which really makes it inaccurate. After this mission was released, Wolflo or Ladybounce are now the ones looking on trouble

[@jess_holyfield]

@@SaradaHaruno I agree 100% with this!

[@justme5465]

ManneQueen* did so well 😮‍💨 i thought they were gonna crash and burn after the Hwasa mission because they looked depleted then they came out with this had me & my sis screaming 😂 they’re so good when the mission is just them doing their own thing 😍

[@jess_holyfield]

It was sooo good!

[@SaradaHaruno]

Some of the references that I only know 2:44 - Cera doing her leg work 4:02 - Waackxxxy waacking while warming up 15:01 - 1M kpop dance challenge

[@jess_holyfield]

Yes!!! I caught on to at least 2 of those and they were stellar!!!!

[@Paradoxious]

At 15:10 the camera going around them is the 1M preview video.

[@jess_holyfield]

@@Paradoxious that’s what someone else pointed out as well! Such a great way to pull that off!

[@oten6007]

Idk if Im being bias but Mannequeen’s performance was better overall. The last section in the first song was really good and how they utilized the stage. In the second song the props was used effectively and it fits the choreo. I think the hoop is a diss to 1 Million’s megacrew since their megacrew involves circles in the platform. 1Million did great at the second song. In the first song. Their choices in their moves could have been better. THE TWERKING - it was bad im sorry that was messy. But overall both did great.

[@jess_holyfield]

I can agree with you! Mannequin really did not come to play.. I also know 1Million may be feeling a bit more comfortable compared to other crews because of their huge point reward from the Hwasa challenge, but I'm hopeful Mannequin sees some good results from their set. SO FREAKING GOOD.... Probably my favorite performance of them all for the challenge!

[@Paradoxious]

You aren't, I am a fan of 1M, but Manequeen won this, 1M had to many mistakes and looked way to relaxed where as Manequeen looked like they were PREFORMING.

[@wreckss8223]

1MILLION's second portion looked really unimpressive especially once you see the choreo they were trying to outdo (ManneQueen's EZ)

[@Paradoxious]

@@wreckss8223 Yea, MQ just looked way cleaner and more detailed, 1M's looked rushed.

[@Haruki_Yui]

mannequeen is really strong crew

[@jess_holyfield]

Truly one of the strongest well rounded crews!

[@hgnnnnnnnn4184]

The 30:70 judge vote vs audience vote ratio is such a horrible way to do this ughhhhhhhhhh. Mannequeen was a BEAST in this challenge but they definitely cannot win against 1 Million when it comes to audience vote or views

[@jess_holyfield]

The voting format is sooo interesting for this challenge and I'm hopeful Mannequin will see positive results regardless of how some of the odds may be against them!

[@hgnnnnnnnn4184]

⁠@@jess_holyfieldi hope so too! I hope they at least earn a spot in the battle arena. My favorite teams Prowdmon and Eoddae were both automatically eliminated in their respective season so it’d be heartbreaking to see it happen again 🙏

[@jess_holyfield]

OMG thank you for catching that! Honestly I loved how Mannequin integrated that into their set because it really elevated it to a different level!

[@jasonlicos]

9:26 the hair is very voguing culture. Hair category.

[@jess_holyfield]

IT IS!! Thank you so much for the reminder! But it makes me wonder why they went with that choice against MQ (they also did other Vogue nuances throughout their set as well) Vogue and waacking are similar but not the same regarding culture and community, so I don’t know if that aspect will work in 1Millions favor since they are against MQ and not a crew like LB

[@chihotang313]

Harimu was on a show called fly to the dance with Lia kim and Amy where they were busking in america with aiki and leejung and LOVE RAN. who is a vougue dancer that took harimu as her child which I feel like gives the vibe of her duo with redy being more vogue than waacking. But I do know she has done some waacking work with Baby Zoo before so wonder why she chose to vogue. But the spinning hair is HARIMU SIGNATURE!!!!

[@lynymII]

harimu has attended some vogue classes before

[@chihotang313]

@@lynymIIYeah this is probably is where her preference with vogue comes from! Thanks for the extra info

[@jess_holyfield]

LOVED THE HAIR OMG! It was such a vibe!

[@KimSooKyu]

I think 1mil also use a wordplay for the first song when the lyrics is "You ready?" And then they show 'Redy' as the center 😅

[@jaskiritkaur6076]

I think what 1 million was trying to do at 11:38 was mock Waackxxxy as when she was warming up for her first battle she did something similar?

[@jess_holyfield]

Thank you for catching that! I can totally see the relations!!

[@dassabrites371]

i was waiting for your reaction!!!! i needed to know if u would love it as much as i do 😁😁

[@jess_holyfield]

Haha! I hope I was able to meet your expectations!!

[@Wyren09]

I think the costuming worked against 1M in this, the silver kinda rolled into each other making it hard to make out some moves in certain places. One thing their C section really made clear is that Manaqueen are amazing at what they do and it’s obvious that 1M are not comfortable. The Lia Kim highlight where she’s in the middle felt like she was actually just waving her hands around, not enough precision or energy. MANNEQUEEN DID NOT COMPROMISE! Very cool and fun and sexy.

[@jess_holyfield]

Can totally see this! Costuming can effect the aesthetic of the routine and I can see some limitations with the choice! But I have to admit the word play on “sexy back” with their exposure of their backs SENT ME!!!

[@pmk3360]

Omg i have anticipated your review and analysis as soon as the episode went live. Im a bit sad that Men of SWF was replaced by battle challenge :/, i totally agree with all your point and love how in depth you go. Mannequeen was something else tonighta and they too were my favorite battle of out everything, after MQ, its Jam.

[@jess_holyfield]

MQ stopped the SHOW with their set and I freaking LOVED it

[@randomkid4783]

I really wanna give props to the 1Million girlies for giving ballroom. I really loved the hair flips at 3:55 (in your reaction video). It's giving me very House of Ninja Grand March ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/ine2YpVrjN6db8k ) vibes. Btw, Legendary is a great battle royale dance show if you want something after Street Woman Fighter lol.

[@jess_holyfield]

Yes to this!! and if you could send me a link to the show you recommended, I don't mind taking a look! Sounds fun!

[@randomkid4783]

@@jess_holyfield I just bring it up as 1Million was giving me that voguing vibe. Which I honestly can't tell if they did it to make fun of Manne Queen's waacking style they always use. Because while voguing and waacking are similar, BUT they are different dance styles. Which is why I'm confused But yeah, HBO's Legendary would be a fun show to watch you react to. I really like your eye for detail. While Legendary is a voguing dance show, which idk if that's a style you're familiar with. I still think it'd be a fun watch

[@jess_holyfield]

@@randomkid4783 I know enough of the Vogue scene to be able to properly adjudicate it but I’m not someone actively in the scene! I 100% appreciate the fact you pointed out Vogue not being the same as waacking because it’s one of the biggest miseducations out there within the street styles. Honestly it read more like making fun of LB vs MQ when 1MIL did it and it made me question for a second who they were competing against 😂

[@RUhachi]

the crews had 3 days to prepare for this , I feel like 1M went for a safer route , knowing there's kind of no way they'd be eliminated , even tho i did caught some clever references such as "you're ready" and redy appears , harimu and redy moving their hair then going no referencing latrice and redlic's battles etc but i have to admit mannequeen gave their ALL in this , really went all out and it's even more impressive knowing the little time they got to create this. my guess is that 1M , Jam Republic , BEBE and Mannequeen are going to the finale and i just think that it would be an iconic lineup

whyd they use two different clips for the dance. 15:22 there if u look closely lots of them move positions when the camera angle switch but the most obvious one is waxxy's foot placement which is moved off the black outliune and cera's hand is down and her ribbon is on the side when the angle is changed. isn't this dance the live performance?

@@mikasamikachu4288 haha! I wouldn’t go so far to say that! They held their own great here (like they do in every challenge) but if we are going off of criteria and direct comparison to the crew they are against (mannequeen) they may not have as big of an advantage on certain points getting obtained due to the difficulty of their opponent. I was also stating how great they did with the Hwasa challenge so that can help them in this not have to have as much “fight” as others because of their hard work paying off in other ways. I apologize if my reply came across as “i think they sucked but they will be fine” because that was not how my analysis and feedback was intended as!
