Hey look - it's Maddie and Elle and they're *still* obsessed with this frickin show.
....
We can all admit - BOYS PLANET was a great (and rigged) time!! Thank you MNet for the show none of us needed but all of us secretly have been wanting our entire lives.
.....
Maddie and Elle break it all down in this review episode: their love of crazy Reddit stats, reactions to the final 9 being announced (ummm Gunwook hi!!!), favorite moments from BOYS PLANET (p.l.a.n.e.t. c.a.m.p. t.o.u.r.), and recognize a moment of silence for their loved ones who didn't make the cut. (hi keita. hi jay. hi jungwoo. hi p hanbin.)
.....
They also share general excitement for ZB1 and pitch the fandom name as Zebras bc it would actually be great. (Ok, after editing, they now know it's actually ZEROSE, but let's be real Zebras woulda been superior.)
...
(Enjoy this episode FROM THE VAULT, back in our YA GIRL MADDIE days LOL. )

Maddie and Elle finished episode 11 of BOYS PLANET and GAHHHHHH they cannot believe it all ends in a week!!! Since BOYS PLANET is insanely fun to talk about and psycho-analyze, they're here to do just that.
....
Footnotes: Park Hanbin better make this group, Elle luvs Kaita, Maddie is basic and all over that Sung Hanbin bandwagon, and JUSTICE FOR HARUTO. ALWAYS JUSTICE FOR HARUTO.
....
Enjoy this episode FROM THE VAULT, back in our YA GIRL MADDIE days LOL.

At this point, I think most of us have heard of the newest KPop survival show: BOYS PLANET. (Most likely because of TikToks from the bad auditions and, y'all, they're true.)
.....
If you're on the fence about trying it out, this Through Two will help you get a better grip on what the show is like!
....
Heads up: Maddie frickin loves shows like this, so she's all in, but she also has LOTS of questions because this whole thing is also kind of a hot mess. LOL. (But also vote for Sung Hanbin bc he's the cutest of them all!!! So far after two episodes! HEHE) ....

Late to the party but HERE NONETHELESS. HELLO. .... Hi, our names are Maddie and Elle and we just discovered ENHYPEN this year because we live under a rock.
.....
After watching I-LAND, Maddie and Elle jump on the pod to GUSH because this show was like the best thing they watched all year. Seriously. They're obsessed and want to wrap every I-LAND boy into a warm brotherly hug and protect them forever. (Except for Jake. Maddie's willing to marry 7 years younger for Jake. No brotherly hugs for you.) ......

Maddie and Elle could NOT let the year end without highlighting the greatest KPop songs of 2022!! They both shout out their Top 5 KPop songs that came out this year and this year only. I wonder which ones would make your list?! ....
