We are at long last in the final lap of our hectic journey through the cosmos of Girls Planet 999. For some contestants, Mnet has made it's intentions very clear, but for others, the future remains murky. Furthermore, the interim results for the final week of voting have completely torpedoed any sense of rationality remaining in the show. So without further adieu let's get on with it.

After the second elimination, it's time to recalibrate the groups. Team "U+Me = Love" is down to four members: Sakamoto Mashiro, May, Kotone Kamimoto and Zhou Xinyu.

Our 40-years journey through the desert of idol survival continues on, now 45 trainees lighter. No time for sentimental feelings though, it’s time to start the next mission.

Like an unpowered space station adrift in deep space, Girls Planet 999 continues its solemn journey through the dark unknown. Episodes 3 and 4 finally get to the nutritional value of the show, giving us the first real glimpse of the trainees' skills and personalities.

These episodes do away with the overlong explanations and rule making that have dominated so far, making the show much more watchable in the process.

head-scratching; while popular contestants like Su Ruiqi, Huening Bahiyyih and Choi Yunji are featured, other popular contestants like Roada Xu and Cherry Bullet’s May are snubbed, with viewers told in a montage to watch the clips online. If we're cutting trainee screen time, we must be using those minutes for other, really important matters, right? ... Right?
