Also don't forget that Hongchul has an equal chance of revealing one of Junghyun's next few pieces every move.

Sangmin winning: Check. Yooyoung wearing a frumpy sweater: Check. Yohwan not quite being able to pull something together: Check.

next week preview Guests from S1, maybe we'll get to see Jinho again. Also they revealed atleast Jungmoon and YuRam are friends with Jinho which should be exciting and maybe pull BoxeR out of the poo poo house.

I wonder if they'll have an incentive not to come last in the next episode because it's Sangmin's last chance to use the token of immortality to get rid of a threat.

Junghyun's move in that memory game was practically game-breaking. A cool move though, I hadn't considered it. I did notice in season 1 that Kyung-ran and Sangmin both were trying and still both almost went off the edge of the belt before uncovering their first shapes. So that move made a lot of sense as soon as I saw him pick the same letter Hongchul picked. Hongchul almost lost without even getting to play, but he did pick one thing that Junghyun had already picked so he can't quite say it was completely out of his control. After this match up they definitely need to adjust that game though. But the trick was cool this time. Probably Extreme Ways worthy. Did Junghyun really get to start a square ahead AND make Hongchul go first? That seems a bit much. Fast Luck fucked around with this message at 06:29 on Jan 28, 2014 |

What's the music playing when Junghyun is selecting an opponent for the deathmatch game? It plays at around 30 minutes of part 2.

The big topic for discussion that has been shockingly overlooked here is: What kind of coat was Sangmin wearing and where can I get one?

Oof. On the heels of Jinho's departure, the "strategizing" in this episode was painfully abysmal. The groups ability to coordinate fell to pieces especially with Yohwan doing his own suicide thing, and everyone making unnecessary gambles sending numbers they needed on extra laps. I'm very surprised Yooyung wasn't colluding with Sangmin with all the low numbers she kept feeding him.

Yeah, as expected the level of play in the main match was low without Jinho. When Yohwan "spazzed out" Hongchul was in first place. I thought his plan was to take the rest of the cubes, get last, and choose Sangmin for the deathmatch. Being able to pass with garnets means its almost impossible to make Sangmin last, so no matter what it's going to be not Sangmin vs not Sangmin in the deathmath. This would have been hilarious since he did the same in the practice match, but it would have made for a dull hour of tv. Instead we get virtually zero strategizing, building up to Juhghyun ending the game by taking all of the remaining cubes with an easily calculable 0% chance of not coming in last. The main match was just as bad. Good on Junghyun for playing correctly but it only highlighted how hopeless the game is for the player who goes first.

The Saw music made me turn to my husband and mutter in a guttural voice, "I want to play a game."  Preview for S2E9 - Ahh I loved the Animal Food Chain game, so hopefully the office version will be just as fun. And Sunggyu'll be there, that's a treat. I missed that dude. I enjoyed the way he acted like he had no idea what the heck was going on, making people underestimate him, and then he'd come back with some sneaky charm to win or almost win the episode.

Meh, season one had it's share of poorly designed puzzles but managed to be enjoyable anyway. Season 2 has come down to coin tosses way too many times. When the death match started I counted Hongchul's pieces and saw that he had 8 chances with 16 letters on the board. With those odds, it doesn't take a genius to realize you can just make your opponent guess his way out of the game. I don't even like Hongchul but the challenge was bullshit. Aside from guessing the "O" twice he played as well as anyone could in that situation.

Aside from guessing the "O" twice he played as well as anyone could in that situation. I disagree that it has come to more cointosses in the deathmatches by game designe. The last two weeks we had players who leveraged their garnet advantage/their opponents disadvantage to win the game, when they knew that they might be weaker in terms of long term gameplay (especially memory). To me this is more in the spirit of The Genius, especially with the season 2 subtitle being rulebreaker. The same can be said about the mainmatches, with Junghyun tanking on purpose to protect Sangmin (and probably Yoonsun, who I believe is in an secret alliance with Sangmin and Junghyun) from being sucked dry by the 3 guys, banking on Garnet superiority and popular support in the deathmatch. Im very excited to see how they adapted the food chain game to work with guests.

I'd like to thank this thread for introducing me to the show. Over the past week I've binged through all the episodes, and the only other reality/game show I've ever enjoyed like this is 'Solitary' (although the two could hardly be more dissimilar). I definitely enjoyed Season One more, but that only makes sense since the three finalists were my favorites the whole time. This time around I guess I'm rooting for Sangmin, because even though he's an utter bastard, everyone I cared about being dicked over is already gone. I guess I'd also be okay with Jyunghang somehow pulling this off or at a stretch Yooyoung, since that would at least help to make up for the other girls all getting picked off in the first five episodes.

The money issue is quite interesting in this show, because everyone is desperate for garnets but I think it's implied (and definitely discussed explicitly in S1 at least one) that the more famous people would give it to charity while the less famous ones would keep it. Also funny because, bearing in mind that 1 garnet is roughly $1000, they're playing for sums that are considerable but not exactly vast by gameshow standards.

Something like 3 billion won disappeared from a failed restaurant he owned. Season 2s first episode had a fake newspaper graphic with the phrase "A Failed Business Is Not A Scam" which made me laugh, and told me pretty much everything I needed to know about the situation. I just caught up last week, when do the subtitles usually get finished? Is it pretty consistent week to week or do you never know when theyre going to drop?

She's pretty consistent, usually Monday morning they go up on Dailymotion and later on in the day the download goes up. I think the latest it's been so far this season was Wednesday or Thursday, and that was for the Seven Commandments game.

Guest episode ruled again, Sunggyu/Sangmin is the best bromance and this was one of the best social games yet. Junghyun fighting!

I really am afraid Yohwan is gonna bungle his way into winning this whole thing. He hasn't had much chance to show it yet, but I'd bet he has the same deathmatch skills Jinho showed with obviously none of the other strengths. As a side note, are there any other popular retired progamers that could step into season 3? Tossgirl maybe? Her, Jinho and Yohwan are the only ones I can remember from my blurry days of watching gom.tv at 5 in the morning.

How's the SC community taking Yohwan's performance thus far? I didn't know who they were before this show, but Yohwan was built up to be a rival of Jinho, and other than poo poo talking to Jinho, it's been completely embarrassing. Even the poo poo talking was just grating, "gotta make him #2! haha".
