- It is a little suspicious but using the word ‘robbed’ is a bit too much don’t you think?
- If there really is a problem it would be Show Champion’s not BtoB’s
- Even though the original poster should have chosen her words better it’s hard not to be suspicious..
- I think Show Champion doesn’t give first place when the artist doesn’t perform
- That’s not true other artists like BEAST have gotten first place in the past even when they didn’t perform
