Having been a seasoned newcomer in the entertainment industry for over half a year, Shi Xi had a general idea of the situation at this point.
If a foreigner were chosen, her domestic fans would absolutely slam her to the heavens.
If she chooses trainees from abroad, her own country's fans will not only criticize her, but also say that she is unpatriotic and has no sense of belonging.
Shi Xi smiled faintly and suggested, "How about we have an additional test, and everyone re-scores us?"
This is the best solution Shi Xi can think of right now.
Share responsibility.
We absolutely cannot let her decide who will be the last one to reach the top.
Kwon Do-won, the instructor from Country H standing next to her, nodded and said, "I agree with Instructor Shi Xi's suggestion to add another test. We can also re-evaluate the scores, which would be more fair and just."
If Shi Xi were to re-evaluate the scores alone, it might be biased.
Why don't we have all five of them re-evaluate?
“But what if everyone gives a perfect score of 10?” Conrad asked.
Shi Xi: ...
This person is so annoying.
"Why don't we vote?" Shi Xi suggested. "Each person can cast one vote for their favorite trainee."
Five people voting for three people may result in a tie, but it is much fairer than a re-evaluation.
The chances of giving everyone 10 points are too small, but the probability of giving other contestants low scores is not low.
Several professors agreed.
The trainees who came to participate prepared several stages. After the three trainees took an additional test, the five mentors began to vote.
Shi Xi firmly chose Bai Cangyang, while the other two mentors also chose contestants from their own countries.
Only two mentors remain.
The two mentors exchanged a glance and ultimately chose Philomena.
Conrad's smile deepened as he excitedly announced, "The trainee making her debut on The Top is—Philomena!"
The lights came on, Philomena bowed, and walked to the highest point to sit down.
Shi Xi clapped from below the stage, her smile ambiguous.
Sure enough, they had already decided on the trainees who would win the competition.
If she really chooses Bai Cangyang, the production team might make things difficult for her.
Shi Xi took a moment to glance at Bai Cangyang again.
Although it's a bit unfair, how fair can there really be in talent shows?
Although Bai Cangyang did not succeed in reaching the summit, it can still be considered a good thing for him.
Is she trying to gain followers by playing the victim?
Hopefully, Bai Cangyang has learned all of this from previous talent shows.
Bai Cangyang looked somewhat disappointed, but he still clapped and wished Philomena well.
Shi Xi: Oh wow, I really learned it.
...
After the show finished recording, the trainees returned to their dormitories.
The mentors all stayed in hotels.
Conrad invited Shi Xi to a dinner party.
Shi Xi initially wanted to refuse, but thinking that it would be beneficial for the later filming of the show to get along well with the other mentors, she nodded in agreement.
The five mentors, along with the show's director and executives, went to a bar for drinks.
Shi Xi had thought there would only be five mentors, but she didn't expect there to be so many people.
Most of them are still men.
Of the five mentors, only two are female.
One is Shi Xi, and the other is Quan Duoyuan, a mentor from Country H.
Kwon Da-won comes from a girl group in South Korea. She has outstanding looks, long wavy hair, and is gentle and polite to people.
Shi Xi was closer to one of the only two female mentors in the mentor group.
Once inside the bar's private room, the director ordered a lot of alcohol, encouraging everyone to drink to their heart's content.
Kwon Da-won readily complied.
Shi Xi looked at the wine in front of her, then picked up an empty wine glass, opened her water bottle, and poured some water into it.
