Chapter 67 1v1 Again
The picture of the former GoldenCold members in the same frame was just a small episode.
When Sanshui received a cue card from the staff, the elimination round officially began.
"I know this may sound cruel, but I still want to announce..."
Sanshui took a deep breath, and amid the nervousness of the contestants, he said loudly: "Today, the groups that will be eliminated are... the last seven groups at the bottom of the vote rankings!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar at the scene.
The Xinghuo live broadcast room was in an uproar.
"What? Eliminate seven groups? Are you serious, production team?"
"Eliminated seven people at once? Are you playing so cruelly?"
"My hair!"
"The production team is so crazy!"
"My Oriental Maple Leaf!"
"A New Era without the Desert Brothers is like England without Jerusalem."
On the stage, many contestants also showed incredible expressions, especially the groups ranked sixth and seventh from the bottom.
They originally thought they were in a safe zone, but the arrangement of the program team gave them a heavy blow.
"Okay, I'm going to go with you guys now."
"Good friends go together!"
"31 to 24, there's no difference between us being the seventh from the bottom and the last one."
"It's only the fourth episode and there are only 24 groups left. I want to see how the production team will arrange the competition system next."
"Damn it! We can only meet in the resurrection match!"
The eliminated contestants had mixed feelings, some were helpless, some were unwilling, and some just let it go.
After these contestants gave their farewell speeches one after another, the live broadcast officially came to an end.
But before the live broadcast ended, Sanshui took the microphone and said loudly:
"Next, we will have another 1v1 duel!"
This sentence instantly raised the suspense and aroused the curiosity of many viewers.
Of course, this also caused resentment among some viewers.
The suspense ends here?
The program crew not only likes to manipulate the mentality of the contestants, but also the mentality of their audience, right?
Absolutely abominable!
Many of the contestants who remained on the stage had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
They had a 1v1 duel last week, right?
Why are you here again now?
Does the production team really feel that there are too many remaining combinations?
If you have more, just say it directly and don't use this kind of competition system anymore.
Can we just go ahead?
Many members of the group who are of mediocre ability hold such thoughts.
Looking at the contestants who were discussing among themselves, Sanshui smiled and said, "I will announce the detailed rules of the next competition later. Please be patient."
Everyone used to think that Sanshui’s smile was quite kind, but now, everyone just felt that Sanshui’s smile was like the scythe of the god of death, which was about to take them away.
After the audience and mentors left, the atmosphere on the stage became tense again.
The contestants' eyes occasionally glanced at the members of groups such as Phoenix Flying, GoldenCold, Galaxy Girls, Thorn Boys, and Roadblock Drift.
The combination they least want to face in 1v1 is here.
At this time, Sanshui walked to the center of the direction where the contestants were facing, raised his hand to look at the cue card, and said with a smile:
"In the next episode, we will have a 1v1 match, but there will be no group elimination."
After the words were spoken, the players' expressions were even more surprised than when they heard about the 1v1 just now.
"what?"
"No need to eliminate the group? Did my sister hear it wrong?"
"Vocal! Sanshui, you really know how to mess with people's mentality!"
"Phew~ I finally feel relieved!"
"No combination is eliminated? Then I'm going to choose Fenghuang Yufei for a 1v1 this time!"
"I want to choose the Galaxy Girl!"
"You guys are just wishful thinking. If you want to choose, you have to let me be the one!"
Sanshui raised his hand and signaled the contestants to be quiet.
He continued, "This time, it will not be a 1v1 duel between groups, but a 1v1 duel between players. At that time, there will also be live audience voting, and those with the highest number of votes will have priority selection rights." Hearing these words, the players were full of question marks.
1v1 duel between players?
Those with more votes get priority?
"What is the right of first refusal, Brother Sanshui?"
A contestant who couldn't contain his curiosity shouted loudly.
Sanshui shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "This explanation is kept secret for the time being and will not be revealed until the next live broadcast. In short, the right of first choice is a particularly important thing. It can determine how far you can go on the show in the future."
"You can decide how far you can go on the show? That's so awesome?"
“It seems that the right of first choice is very important!”
"Indeed, then don't mess around during the next live broadcast."
"I just want to say that you should choose the players you play against carefully."
Many of the people who said this and heard this sentence unconsciously glanced over Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi.
A creative genius, a female singer with a gifted voice.
When facing these two people, no matter who it is, the chances of winning will not be very high, right?
Noticing these gazes, Bai Xingjian looked back.
Then I found that when these contestants faced his gaze, they chose to avoid it and did not dare to look him in the eye.
"Is it really that serious?"
Bai Xingjian sighed in his heart.
At this time, Sanshui's voice sounded again: "I believe everyone is curious about how the 1v1 competition works, but before that, let me first explain to you the rules for obtaining the right of priority selection..."
Sanshui spoke eloquently.
The rules are actually very simple, just like the combined 1v1 duel, the players are paired up.
After each of them finished singing their songs, the audience members voted for their favorite stage.
There is only one vote for both stages, there is no winner or loser, but there is a difference in votes.
The votes received by the contestants will be counted in the overall rankings and ranked in order like today's live broadcast.
The players ranked first will have priority in selection.
"Then according to this rule, does it mean that if we choose a weaker opponent to compete with him, then we can get more votes and have an advantage in the ranking?"
"Vocal! It seems to be true. After all, the rule is to rank according to the number of votes."
"If you choose an opponent of equal strength, the votes may be 50-50, but if you choose a weaker contestant, the votes may be 70-30. When you enter the overall ranking, the advantage will be huge!"
"Yeah, yeah! I just don't know what the rules for selecting people are."
After hearing Sanshui's description, many contestants whispered.
Some of the more active players have already started thinking about whether they can find loopholes in the rules.
But soon, Sanshui directly cut off their thoughts.
"Everyone knows that when the difference in the strength of the contestants is large, the number of votes an individual may receive is likely to be much higher, which will give him or her an advantage in entering the rankings.
Therefore, in order to prevent everyone from having such thoughts, the program team has made a rule...
Simply sort the combinations according to their ranking on today's vote rankings, in pairs!
Then, each team will send out a player for a 1v1 duel! "
After Sanshui said this, those contestants who wanted to take advantage of the loopholes were suddenly speechless, but more contestants breathed a sigh of relief.
According to today's vote rankings, the rankings are paired up. Aren't Fenghuang Yufei and GoldenCold one group, and Xinghe Girls and Thorn Boys Group another group?
A strong confrontation between several strong teams and internal digestion is a situation that everyone wants to see.
And it's not just them. According to the ranking, it shows that the two paired groups are of similar strength and there is no situation of great disparity in strength.
"As expected of the program team! They even thought of this, it's really awesome!"
"Oh no, I can't find any loopholes, I can only rely on my hard power!"
"This is truly a showdown between the strong!"
"At least we still have some hope."
Many contestants were sighing, and Sanshui's voice rang out again:
"Then please invite Fenghuang Yufei and GoldenCold to choose the players who will participate in the 1v1 duel."
As soon as these words were spoken, the contestants' attention was instantly focused on these two groups.
This time it’s a real grudge game!
