I kind of get it. The first two vocal parts were really shaky with pitch problems, one of the rappers was rather weak and the overall performance was rather forgettable to me. They need to either wow with skills or with stage presence and they didn’t really do much of either in my opinion.
I think they wowed enough with skills & stage presence. Even the vocal coach thought their vocals were great & DongSu wasn’t even a rapper but he did well. But there was no gimmick, no abs, no winking, no acrobatics, not enough drama.
The only thing I get about them being eliminated is that they were not popular.
Whether you feel a performer’s stage presence or not can be really subjective, I think, I just didn’t feel it 🙂 If that guy’s not a rapper, then that’s obviously a different case, he did well for a non-rapper.
The vocal trainers aren’t perfect and it’s a show – sometimes they’ve honestly said some really weird stuff, like most panels/judges in music shows. Sometimes there’s some “magic” editing going on or they’re trying to cater to a certain plan. At one point one of the vocal trainers even said about one of the boys that “he couldn’t sing at all”, which was odd to me, because he honestly wasn’t that bad. Then later in the ep the trainer was shocked to find out that the kid actually did well in the performance video. So… The trainers aren’t always right. The fact that they praised their vocals does not mean that the guys didn’t go off pitch at times.
And the whole winking etc, is a really big part of kpop. I can’t think of a single group who doesn’t do some things like that, no matter how talented. It’s just how the industry works *shrugs*

I know! I thought they were great! Alas, popularity is the name of the game.
