Some trainees with pre-existing fanbases haven't shown their talents and charms in the show and it's understandable that their rankings have fallen. I (and I'm sure many others) am not going to hunt through numerous past clips and watch entire previous shows and pre-debut clips for trainees who haven't captured my attention in this show (e.g. Anthonny, Woongki, Ichan, Hiroto etc.). And I think it's a little unreasonable of people to expect that. The whole point of the missions is to show me what they are capable of. It sucks if they mess up, but it is what it is.

Even if a trainee has shown their talent in the show, sometimes you just don't vibe with people. It might not be for a particular reason. There are kpop groups where I like their music and think they are good-looking but they don't click with me so I don't stan them. Same with some trainees in BP. There are boys who I think are talented and handsome, but they are not in my or 9 or even top 20. While some trainees just endear themselves to you even if they aren't the most talented.
