创造营2020 - Chuang 2020 - Produce Camp 2020

创造营2020 (Chuang 2020/Produce Camp 2020) is an 2020 variety show out of Zhong Guo. The format is that of a survival show where voters vote for their contestants to move on. 101 female trainees from different entertainment companies are competing for one of seven spots to form a female idol group.

The show has performances that lead to eliminations. These performances normally include both dancing and singing. There are a total of 4 main votings that lead to the formation of the top 7 for the debut group. Along the way, the show follows how the trainees form different teams to perform the songs. There are filler type episodes that include activities that bring the teammates closer together. I think it also lets you get to know the contestants better too.

Wow, the following two paragraphs were almost directly copy and pasted from my post on Youth With You 2 (YWY2). Because the shows were essentially the same in its format. Public voting through 4 rounds to form an female idol group. This was the third season of this show from Tencent Video. The first season produced 火箭少女101 (Rocket Girls 101).

At first, when this show started broadcasting, Youth With You 2 was 2/3 through broadcasting. My kids didn't want to start on another show. So we started watching 炙热的我们 (We Are Blazing) after YWY2 ended. Which eventually still left a lot of time to fill, so Chuang started to make it onto the family playlist. I only have 1 television in the house so we all have to want to watch something for it to get shown. My kids ended up watching clips on the family tablet.

My family ended up getting a little over obsessed with the show and now regularly play the performances via Youtube. Often times, we can create hours long playlist from the clips. Within our family, we each had our favorites that we cheered on. We also have our favorite songs.

We also cried in sadness whenever someone we really liked didn't move on to the next stages. Luckily, all of our favorites made it to final show. Which made the motivation to watch to the end easier.

We're just glad that we were able to be exposed to the world of Mandarin language Survival Shows. We are loving them. They don't stop and we are now going back into 2018 and 2019 shows via YouTube and Viki.
