**Date of Broadcast**: October 10, 2019

During the Performance Unit stage in the third round, soloist Park Bom elected to have a substitute take her place rather than participate simultaneously in both the Vocal and Dance Units. Eunji had previously collaborated with her on music show stages for her song "Spring", so she requested that she act as her stand-in.

Unlike the Vocal Units, the Performance Unit consisted of one group consisting of one member from each participating act all performing together to the same song, but having spotlight sections set to different songs and collecting votes individually. This subunit was given the name **6puzzle** (식스 퍼즐), and they performed to the song "Power" by Little Mix.

## Score

The maximum points an act can obtain is 5,000 points; 2,500 points maximum Vocal and Performance Units each. Points for the Performance Unit are distributed based on:
**•** 1st place (member with the most votes) – 2,500 points given to her group
**•** Remaining members – Points calculated in proportion to the 1st place
The votes breakdown were calculated by the Audience Judge Squad who voted for their favorite member of the Performance Unit.

In the final results for this round, Eunji placed **6th**.

**Date of Filming**: February 28, 2022
**Date of Broadcast**: April 7, 2022

For the first round, each act must perform its 'signature'/hit song. Similar to the previous installments, the contestants decided the order of performances. Brave Girls chose to go fourth uncontested.

In deliberations for the round, Brave Girls acknowledged that the criteria indicated that they should perform "Rollin'", as it is their signature song and their most successful song. Other songs discussed as possibilities are "High Heels", "Chi Mat Ba Ram", and "We Ride", but they concede that all are less popular than "Rollin'". Ultimately, while they agree to use "Rollin'", they wish to show a different side of themselves, and decide to perform a new mix of "Chi Mat Ba Ram" showcasing performance elements such as dance, an opening sequence featuring Nanta drums, and using props throughout.

Despite LOONA initially choosing to be the fifth act to perform, they couldn't perform with the other competitors as the group tested positive for COVID-19 before round one recording. As a result, they recorded a month after and automatically placed sixth.

## Score

The first round has a total score of 10,000 points, with the act that has the most points ranking first. The 10,000 points are divided between:
**•** On-site audience voting (60%)
**•** Global Evaluator voting (30%)
**•** Self-evaluation voting from each contestant (10%)

In the final results for this round, Brave Girls placed **5th**.

**Date of Broadcast**: April 14, 2022

For the second round, the six acts each performs a song from a fellow Queendom act that is rearranged into a different style, with the pairs exchanging songs chosen by the acts that placed high in the first round. Brave Girls was paired with Kep1er by default, after Hyolyn chose to cover LOONA and WJSN chose to cover VIVIZ. The order of performances was determined by the winner of the first round, Hyolyn, who assigned Brave Girls third.

While deciding which song to cover, Brave Girls discussed possible rearrangements of "WA DA DA", as well as the song "Shine" from Kep1er's survival show *Girls Planet 999*. They chose to go with the B-side track "MVSK", and decided to go with a concept that told a story in reaction to some of the other acts performances in the first round. However, early in preparations, all the members except for Yuna were diagnosed with COVID-19, and were forced to prepare for this stage separately in quarantine until it was safe to record and rehearse together. This resulted in only a few days of group rehearsals, and having to record vocals while they were still exhibiting symptoms that affected their singing ability. Additionally, while Minyoung was still exhibiting symptoms on the day of the performance, she was able to get through it without them disrupting it.

Similar to Brave Girls, Kep1er were concerned about the two group's contrasting images making a cover difficult. Possible covers mentioned included "Rollin'" and "Chi Mat Ba Ram", which they dismissed because Brave Girls had already performed them in the first round. Other candidates, including "After We Ride" and "We Ride", were discussed but ultimately decided against as they believed the themes would be too mature for them to believably convey. They ultimately decided to cover "Pool Party", but with "Rollin'" mixed into the chorus and original rap verses by Dayeon and Hikaru replacing E-Chan's section of the song.

## Score

The second round has a total score of 10,000 points, with the act that has the most points ranking first. The 10,000 points are divided between:
**•** On-site audience voting (60%)
**•** Global Evaluator voting (30%)
**•** Self-evaluation voting from each contestant (10%)

In the final results for this round, Brave Girls placed **6th**.

**Date of Broadcast**: May 5, 2022

In part one of the third preliminary performances, the six acts are split into Vocal and Dance Units; each of the units work together to create a performance specific to the unit's type. No limit is placed on the number of members that can participate from each group. At a retreat, the candidates participating in the vocal unit congregated and discussed each of their visions for the performance, as well as what songs they may want to perform. They then split off one-by-one to different rooms to each pair off with another team.

Brave Girls' representative, Minyoung, enters a room by herself in hopes that Hyolyn will wish to work with her, which is what ends up coming to pass. The new subunit was named **33**, in reference to their shared Korean age at the time. While in the earlier discussion, Minyoung had suggested "U & I" by Ailee, but they ended up going with Hyolyn's suggestion of "To My Youth" by Bolbbalgan4. While Minyoung was not familiar with the song, she was moved by the lyrics, and Hyolyn encourages her to sing outside of her normal vocal range. They perform part of the song at the retreat's sound check, and they are voted by the other acts as the best, giving them the privilege of assigning the performance order for the round. They assign themselves third.

## Score

The maximum points an act can obtain is 5,000 points; 2,500 points maximum vocal and dance units each which are distributed based on:
**•** 1st place – 2,500 points given to the unit's members' respective groups
**•** 2nd place – 1,500 points given to the unit's members' respective groups
**•** 3rd place – 500 points given to the unit's members' respective groups

In the final results for this round, 33 placed **2nd**.

In part one of the third preliminary performances, the six acts are split into Vocal and Dance Units; each of the units work together to create a performance specific to the unit's type. No limit is placed on the number of members that can participate from each group. At a retreat, the candidates participating in the dance unit congregated and were presented with three different dance choreographies to choose from. They then split off one-by-one to a different location corresponding to which choreography they wanted to perform, in the order of lowest to highest cumulative score from the first two rounds. However, teams with higher cumulative scores could chose to do a choreography that had already been claimed by two acts, with the lowest scoring act being forced to choose another.

As Brave Girls had the second lowest cumulative score, the group's participating member, Eunji, chose the choreography "Desire" as it was not one that the other acts seemed to want, and it would lower the risk of being kicked out of her spot. This is what ends up happening to the act with the lowest cumulative score, LOONA, who initially chose the other two choreographies before being pushed out each time by another group, ending up paired with Eunji by default. The new subunit was named **Queen is Me** (퀸이 나), in reference to both acts' desire to score higher and improve their rank.

The creator of the choreography, Monika from the dance crew PROWDMON, coaches them through the routine and provides feedback on how to better prepare. The practice is the most demanding of the groups, and at the sound check later that night they are voted by the other acts as the best, giving them the privilege of assigning the performance order for the round. They assign themselves third.

## Score

The maximum points an act can obtain is 5,000 points; 2,500 points maximum vocal and dance units each which are distributed based on:
**•** 1st place – 2,500 points given to the unit's members' respective groups
**•** 2nd place – 1,500 points given to the unit's members' respective groups
**•** 3rd place – 500 points given to the unit's members' respective groups

In the final results for this round, Queen is Me placed **1st**.

In part two of the third preliminary performances, the six acts will each perform a song suggested by the audience, with most consideration given to the act's fan base. The order of performances was determined by the winner of the second round, Hyolyn, who assigned Brave Girls fifth.

To help determine which song to perform, Brave Girls asked for suggestions at a fan sign, with three of the most popular choices being "High Heels", "Help Me", and "RED SUN". To get more feedback, they did a livestream where they sang songs suggested by fans watching, including covers of other artists. After singing "RED SUN", which they'd never performed live before, they decide to use it for the round's performance, as it directly tells the story of their struggles and belated success. During rehearsals, they decide to use footage of old performances and their win at the 2021 MAMA Awards to help tell their story to the audience.

Initially, the projector did not turn on at the beginning of the performance, causing a delay that required them to reset. While footage from this was shown in teasers and promotional material, it was not shown in the broadcast version of the episode itself.

## Score

The second part of the third round has a total score of 15,000 points, with the act that has the most points ranking first. The 15,000 points are divided between:
**•** On-site audience voting (9,000 points)
**•** Global Evaluator voting (5,000 points)
**•** Self-evaluation voting from each contestant (1,000 points)

In the final results for this round, Brave Girls placed **1st**.

In the finale live comeback stages, the six acts each perform a newly produced song. Unlike the previous rounds, these performances are broadcast live along with the bulk of the episode. The order of performances was determined by the winner of the third round, Brave Girls, who assigned themselves sixth.

For their new song, Brave Girls decide to build off the concept they began in the previous round, with Red Sun showing a transition from Winter to Spring. Their finale performance shows the transition into Summer, creating the atmosphere of a beach party onstage with fireworks, and also referencing the title of "Summer Queens". During preparations for the stage, they received "Queen Service" where they were lent a convertible, and drove to and spent time at the beach in Yangyang where they had filmed the music videos for "Rollin' (New Version)" and "Chi Mat Ba Ram".

## Score

The finale round has a total score of 20,000 points, though other point totals from previous rounds as well as performance views and fan votes are factored into the ultimate winner of the show.

In the final results for this round, Brave Girls placed 5th, and subsequently placed **6th** overall.
