I really looked forward to watching this and my expectations were naturally sky high since Hybe is a huge company. In the beginning(the first 2 episodes) I actually liked it because all the girls seemed so sweet and I was so obsessed with the theme song sung by Bae Suzy. Then it just got really boring really quickly. It was so obvious that the judges had already picked their lineup and began supporting only those trainees which they had a preference towards. I'm not saying any of this because my favs weren't picked but it was just so obvious that the girls were being unfairly treated. I feel so bad for the girls who worked so hard for this but couldn't achieve their dreams because Hybe didnt think they fit in their beauty criteria. A group should be created with balance of each type of performing talent but it just felt like al of the girls were chosen based on their visuals. And the fact that they were chosen based on their 'potential' and not actual talent is just absurd. The talented trainees were just constantly being degraded by the judges even when their performances were near perfect. This is absolutely no hate to the girls. All of them are amazing and yea I do believe that they can grow and bloom into something beautiful and this is not a question whether they deserved it or not. The girls just were not ready. The real disappointment isn't the girls but the actions taken by the company itself. I will continue to give my support to ILLIT as well as the trainees who could not debut and I hope that they chase their dreams and achieve them too.

All of this was entirely my opinion and it doesn't have to be similar to what you think about this. My opinion is mine and yours is yours which I completely respect. This doesn't have to change what anyone thinks but its just something that I thought needs to be put out there. You guys should definitely watch it and come up with your own views and perspectives about this.
