Congratulations to all of you for making it to the live shows! After succeeding in the auditions and bootcamp, we will now take you all to the next level of the competition!
Changes
1. No more immunities From now on, it's everybody's game! One massively successful entry won't be enough to keep you safe in the following week!
2. Fewer eliminations Singular eliminations are not coming until the top 10, but the eliminations will definitely slow down
3. LIVE LEADERBOARD Consistency is key to being an overall good songwriter. Most of you have had some incredible peaks in the auditions and bootcamp, but it's the continuous, week-by-week excellence that will get you the glory!
The live leaderboard starts this week and ends during the semi-finals. It will include no previous scores, since some of you were new to the competition and adjusting or developping your songwriting style in the first few rounds. But now, all of you, old and new to PH, will start from scatch!
From now on, the score you get each week will create an average. This average will partly determine each week's eliminations. It will gradually gain more importance, but it will never count equally (late alone more) than your weekly score. The leaderboard is your safety net ; the change that will allow you to underperform once without immediately heading to the chopping block! #JusticeForElement
4. New results! In the live shows, your weekly scores remain secret. The ranking will be determined by the formula that combines the weekly score and the live leaderboard score, but you won't know exactly what the weekly score or the LL score was. The formula will be changing each week!
The first challenge of the live shows will be posted in 30 minutes! Good luck to everyone!

Some people are gonna be pressed. *coughquadrinitycough*
Oh wow at the leaderboard coming into play and Euph knowing about this ahead of time!!!! (I'm a first time anything having to do with PH so idk if this is standard once the live shows start tbh, so disregard me if it is)

This season is the first one to have an auditions -> bootcamp -> live shows format, so there aren't any standards.
I've hinted a major change to certain people and I think I've also said that there will be a twist that won't allow consistent songwriters to get eliminated because of one bad week, so it was easy to assume
At least with the leaderboard refreshing, the Quadrinity's off-week can be forgotten.
Come through Sam, Hunter, Jackson, and myself.
Oh btw, you'll still get the PLΔTINUM LEADERBOARD at the end of each week (without scores), so you can maintain your spot there.
But PLΔTINUM LEADERBOARD =/= LIVE LEADERBOARD, cause the latter starts this week and determines the eliminations while PL remains just a fun collection of statistics
WELCOME TO THE LIVE SHOWS!!!
