It’s Been Fun Y’all

Posting this here, as to not potentially spoil the results for those on the other sub if they haven’t seen the final yet.

We now know the final piece is Sakura, congrats to her! I wish her (and the rest of the group) the best and I hope they are successful in their endeavors. I will no longer be tuning in as heavily as I was during the whole world scout endeavors.

Personally, I cannot see Sakura in the group. She feels very out of place, to me. I think it’s because she’s so much younger than the rest and you can tell. It looks like a group of friends with someone’s little sister tagging along. Another thing is how are they supposed to execute the vibe they were hinting at for the group?

There’s no winning for them when the fans are wanting/expecting mature RnB concepts for this group. Either they try to make her appear older (might cause backlash because she is underaged) or the group will pivot from what the fans want (might cause backlash bc the only reason they’d need to pivot is due to Sakura’s age). Not only that, but it feels wrong to watch such a young girl struggle and manage so much backlash for decisions that were/are/will be out of her control. I have a strong feeling she will be the scapegoat for a long time.

Due to these personal concerns of mine and that the fact that I strongly believe a lot of the other contestants were seriously robbed of this opportunity and deserved more than Sakura, I’ll be tuning out. I’m sure they’ll come across my timeline again in the future and who knows Sakura will impress and I’ll give the group another shot. But as of right now, I’m closing the chapter of heavily following the Saint Satine.
