Music Wars 1

Music Wars 1 is the debut season of Music Wars. It featured 20 established musicians, split into two teams (Fans & Faves), competing for the champion title and $250,000. The winner was Victoria Georgieva (known as VICTORIA), with Poppy coming 2nd.
==Format==
At the start of the season, the 18 starting contestants were split into two teams. Fans - who were casted by producers, and Faves - who were voted into the cast by the FKS audience. After the rankings, the team with the highest average would be safe, and the team with the lowest average would all be at risk of elimination, with the lowest placing member of the losing team entering the sing-off automatically. At the end of the first 18 performances, it was revealed that Viki Gabor (fans) and Carla Lazzari (faves) would be entering the game as Team Leaders. Team Leaders were immune from the singoff, however the Team Leader leading the team with the lowest remaining members at the end of the teams twist would be automatically eliminated. Team Leaders acted as spokespeople for their teams, and had the final decision on who would face the lowest placing artist in the singoff.
At the end of the teams twist, each team had an even number of players remaining, so Viki & Carla entered a sing-off, which Carla won. Following this, a comeback took place between all the eliminated players (including Viki), which was won by IU.
The 12 remaining contestants at this point entered the Individual Phase. In this phase, placements determined how likely they were to enter the singoff as part of the 'Bingo Machine' twist. The winner of each round would be immune, and the lowest placing artist would automatically enter the sing-off. Everyone else would have balls in the bingo machine equivilent to their position (2nd place would have 2 balls, 11th place would have 11 balls). The bingo machine would then randomly draw the other person entering the sing-off. This continued until the final 3 semi-final.
