Viewers' reaction 观众的反映 guānzhòng de fǎnyìng :
Viewer number 1: Completely stunned. How does someone with a voice like Joshua get eliminated from ANY singing competition!!!
In Chinese, we have an idiom called 大吃一惊 which means got shocked or startled or gob-smacked. If this viewer knew Chinese, he might say
Joshua 被淘汰真使我大吃一惊啊。
Joshua bèi táotài zhēn shǐ Wǒ dàchīyījīng ā .
