I don't have adblock and it happened to me as well, but everytime it did that it would pause the video just before the ad. If you're on your pc and just hit unpause or spacebar quickly the ad won't show up. It is annoying when you have your pc connected to your tv or something though which is how I usually watch the genius.

Yessssss  Junghyun has at least made it to the semi-finals. I can't believe that guy made it this far. Even though there wasn't any kind of Keyser Soze mastermind twist involved it's still pretty awesome seeing him be deadly in deathmatches. Yohwan probably didn't deserve to survive this round, he's bumbled through everything so far.What was the song that played when they were recapping last week's deathmatch?

If there's a season 3, I wonder if they'll not have the immunity token, was a bit too powerful in the hands of an already strong player.

Fantastic episode. I'm rooting for Junghyun to go all the way now, and I'm optimistic about next episode, since Sangmin gets weaker with fewer contestants to pit against each other, and Jyunghyun seems like he's in a better place to capitalize on good will from past contestants. If Yohwan wins this season somehow, it'll be the biggest embarrassment.

And, honestly, I was all  when they went to [the month-long montage of Sangmin privately vowing to use the token of immortality on Yohwan. Seriously. We were all calling him an idiot for feeding the token to Sangmin, but it's kept the target away from him for weeks, and he got to use it anyway! Yohwan wins for once, and Sangmin wins a whole bunch of karma points, even if Yohwan might be easier to beat in the finals.

I think my biggest takeaway from this episode is Shindong should absolutely come back next season. He was a beast at negotiating and made deals with his bandmates that ensured that he walked away with 1,000,000 won no matter what. That's some Genius level play.

Going into deathmatch I was thinking, "Great, here come Dumb and Dumber." Of course, it was Junghyun who gave Jiwon a strategy that could win at poker before and it turns out that he has one game that he's pretty good at. He was pretty good at reading how Jiwon would play a situation and responding accordingly. So he might be terrible at understanding new games and developing strategies on the fly, but there's one thing that he can play.  It really is Sangmin's game to lose at this point. When the blue alliance completely imploded in the main match (due to Junghyun playing badly, of course) it just demonstrated that no one else in the game is even playing competently.

Quite honest I think it's working in Yohwans favor to have Sangim last another round. Sangim is good with people but he isn't mastermind when it comes to death matches.

Honestly, I say Sangmin leaves next week. Yohwan and Junghyun are absolutely the wrong people he wanted in the final, imo; people who are good at deathmatches. I would've attempted to keep Jiwon, because he's not as savvy as the other two. Goddamn Junghyun though  . So good. Yohwan doing something actually smart for once was nice too (if Junghyun did win, how would he have saved Yohwan? He would've picked Sangmin and he would've used the token).

So I've been going through Season 1 on youtube at work the last week or so, and holy poo poo guys this show really is incredible. I started watching it on my TV one night in my apartment and my roommates came out and asked "what the hell are you watching?" and kinda scoffed when I explained it, but they sat and watched an episode with me and all asked me what it was called and where they could watch it. We all got SO into the episode (it was the Horse Scamming Game) and just overall enjoyed the hell out of it. I need to finish season 1 and what's out for season 2 so I can talk about this with you guys. edit- In s1e7 when Jinho revealed his secret my mouth was literally through the floor. Just incredible.

That was a pretty good episode but I was really hoping that Sangmin wouldn't give the immunity token to Yohwan. Alternatively, I was hoping that once Yohwan got the immunity token he would force Sangmin into the death match. It would have been pretty underhanded but, if he is playing to win, he would really have benefited from knocking Sangmin out. vvv Well I guess I wasn't paying attention  I still stand by my position that it was used in a pretty boring fashion.

Good episode all around, nice to see Indian Hold'em actually get played out as a full game.Nexal posted:He should absolutely be in the next season along with Ha-ha from Running Man Hell, I wouldn't mind seeing the Running Man cast just come in as guests for one of the later episodes.

I didn't realize until this episode just how easily you could card count in this death match. They don't seem to shuffle at all after the initial one and just move onto another pack. I wish one of the guys had been more observant and used that to his advantage. At the very least you can know with complete certainty what card you have on the last hand before a new pack. I miss Jinho

Another great episode, that deathmatch Speaking of, what was the music they used for the deathmatch rules explanation? As for the preview of next week, the guest lineup is insanely stacked for Yohwan  . For gently caress's sake, anyone but him win this season.

Awesome main match, Super Junior members were amazing. Shindong was hilarious and a pretty good schemer as well, I didn't know that dude was that funny. Death match was so tense that was a straight up poker match and all about reading your opponent. Everyone so far has underestimated Junghyun, so much so they lose ground in the beginning because he starts to play dumb at the start. The guy is a loving monster at the death matches. I really want him and Sangmin to square off in the finals, its the perfect storyline imo. Also another loving episode where Yohwan ruins his own alliance and kinda has to salvage it by loving things up yet again. He's still surviving but goddamn he has not lived up to his name at all in the show IMO or on the main matches at all. loving stoked for Jinho to come back next week. Yohwan may be the emperor of starcraft but Jinho is THE GENIUS and I hope he buries Yohwan.

I'm not sure why I'm watching it anymore, but it's just so charming. And it's awesome how the show evolves; they escape the trap of going stale with panache. I'm sorry to break it to you, but you're going to lose Enthusiastic Joong Ki soon ...Joong Ki would be loving incredible on The Genius. And yeah, I'm happy to see Junghyun coming into his own with the deathmatches. This week was super satisfying, and painted a clear comparison to Jinho ("accurate" though his stupid bet was, that Jinho). I'm happy with anybody remaining winning, to be honest. Yohwan is Magooing it, but though he's not successful he's not stupid. Sangmin would be my least preferred winner, but that's simply because he's been doing too well for it not to look like producer interference.

I kind of wonder how this season would have panned out if Sangmin had won season 1, and Jinho had been the lol-Jinho-second-again! candidate. I'm just really loving glad Jiwon is gone. I think his idiotic X factor really hurt the season, as opposed to Sunggyu's slow rise to brilliance. Also, he dresses like a douche.

Also, he dresses like a douche. I think the Sangmin/Sunggyu reunion was one of my favourite moments of the show. They were clearly going for a similar character to Sunggyu in Jiwon, but failed so badly. I think the biggest problem of the season is that so many of the "dumb" (for lack of a better word) contestants made it so far through collusion rather than strategy. The season certainly had a number of people who looked like they could do well in games that revolve around strategy rather than alliance formulation (Dahye, Jinho, Hweejong and Yoonsun for example), but they just couldn't survive the broadcaster alliance.In contrast to last season, where, for the most part, the better Genius players really did last the longest (with the exception of Simple and Gura, who just seemed to give up). I hope the producers realise from this season that they shouldn't necessarily have so many broadcasters in the cast as opposed to people who are skilled in something that indicates they would be good at the Genius, and that they have more games where having an alliance can actually be a bad thing. The first episode of the first season was good for this, because it showed all the cast that having too big an alliance could actually make the strategy fail. After that, no one really tried to make a big alliance.

I'm pretty sure it reflects the balance of the show. Early season plays out to the strengths of the socially-gifted ones with their alliance and backroom shenanigans. Things turn around as the season progresses and the herd thins out, alliances play a smaller role, the geniuses that made it through the elimination gain a pretty big advantage since the elimination is more often that not a 1 on 1 affair. Jinho deathmatched his way to the top in season one, scaring away the opposition. I think his weakest was during the rigged horse race where he had to rely entirely on an ally. This season Sangmin has been able to manipulate his way taking out the smart players early and leaving the assumingly weak ones alive (bumbling Yohwan and Mr.Magoo). mmtt fucked around with this message at 17:33 on Feb 13, 2014 |

Yohwan is a bit strange. Like, when Junghyun's partner was running the auction, Yohwan offered his cube for 1, and Junghyun's partner managed to rack up a big score. Makes sense, he and Junghyun were allies, and the idea was they'd both help each other's team out like that, and the two of them would be at the top competing for the win. But then when the blues came up he kept undercutting Junghyun by 1. Junghyun didn't understand why he was doing that and neither did I. It reminds me so much of the number block auction when Yohwan was working with Jiwon, but then took a high number right near Jiwon's, and either then or later, I forget, took in the pot when he was supposed to send it around again. But he's not just being selfish, because he's making big sacrifices like bidding 1 with his color or like paying everyone off extremely in the block auction to try to keep it going around and work their strategy. I'm not sure if it's just his cheap nature leaking through in small ways, and thus blowing his alliances, or if he had actual reasons for those things that he just wasn't explaining. Anyway, it's been pretty sad seeing him sitting there with 0 garnets for like the last 3 episodes. When he threw the game over to Sangmin and came in last himself, holy poo poo he would've been screwed in Indian Poker with no garnets. As much as they made it look like Sangmin had planned to help Yohwan with the immortality token all along, the fact that he was sitting there with 0 garnets definitely makes him more inviting to protect and bring along to the end. Smart play throwing the win to Sangmin though. If Sangmin didn't have immunity I doubt he would've given up that token. Also, drat, Sangmin just lost 10 garnets by sharing them with Jiwon to make the Indian Poker more fair. That's a lot of garnets. And am I wrong or does Junghyun also owe Sangmin 3 garnets that he's just not paying back? Maybe he will now that he won so many... But that's kind of annoying me even though I like Junghyun for the most part. Either him or Sangmin would be a worthy winner, not so sure about Yohwan.
