Newest episode is out! Deathmatch : Jongbum was good at predicting Junghoon, but some of his decisions were pretty bad. When he chose to bet instead of play with both of them at 3, and 3 to win : he literally had nothing to win at all by betting! And then, he chooses to draw in the penultimate round to "keep his advantage", and in the last round he all-ins by betting on win, what's the point in drawing and "losing" chips if you're going to all-in in the last round anyway?

I appreciated that the real strategy in the main game was manipulating the timing. Most of the players had enough information to go on either directly or through conjecture (though they didn't show people doing the thinking about what other players were buying based on the shares left), where Dongmin and Hyunmin dominated was by taking advantage of the clock flipping. Good on Dongmin for manipulating his allies into selling everything he wanted to buy, too. I was thinking that they probably overpaid for the information in the auction, and then it turned out to be worth a minimum of 8 garnets and probably a lot more long term. Dividing up the winnings to cover the payment, keeping control of the game is probably worth the two to three garnets they actually paid.

I love the beginning scene with Dongmin and Hyunmin teaming up, it shows the attitude difference between players on this show and the way you would expect Americans to play. There's something great about the two best players deciding that they each deserve to go to the final, and trying to knock each other out to get rid of the "big threat" is boring television. Plus I think it's sound strategically, since everyone knows they are better than the rest and the remaining 1 of 2 (if one instead chose to try and get the other out) would be ganged up on by the rest. At least together, they have a chance at resisting the rest of the group ganging up on them. It was a great opening, though I don't think any opening scene into credits will ever beat the Sangmin Sungyuu reunion.

One thing I'll add is I'm so glad they stopped using that other death match, because this one was awesome! Especially with the alterations and everybody telling the truth so it became a little bit strategy a little bit reading the other person, love death matches like that.

Now that it's boiled down quite a bit I'm super impressed with this cast. Dongmin and Hyunmin are killing it so far, but there's plenty of room for everyone else to take them out, and it feels like they could.Running With Spoons posted:Newest episode is out! There's an easy answer to why: Jongbeum was playing like he was in one of his psychological thriller stories. The whole deathmatch felt like it was being shot like one, down to the "inner thoughts" cut in. It was amazing.

I laughed when Hyunmin showed up straight from Jiwon's wardrobe. He and Dongmin are still lightyears beyond the others and I hope we'll get to that big final. Dealer nuna

People should not be so suprised at Hyungmin and Dongmin total domination if they all keep doing what they are suggesting. Their manipulation of timing who went to trade when was masterful. With them taking the time slots before and after price changes they basically could not lose. The rest was so busy with their stock price info they missed how useless that info was if all the good stock is already sold. 'Curses, I'm again unable to do anything with my information. drat you cruel fates !!! Oh hyung, you want me to go first one minute before price changes ? Sure, you're too kind' Next week will be the last time the Dongmin-Hyungmin-Ahyoung bloc is outnumbered, if they keep just being nice it's all over for them. I had hoped this would be more like the season 1 horse race where Eunji messed everything up with a sneaky lie on the info she got but everyone is now sharing their info like it's mandatory. Everything Ahyoung does is still amazing. Of course she was the one in the trading room when all the stock prices crashed and her genuine shock at the end that someone else managed to be worse at trading stocks.

Was there a point to Hyunmin and Dongmin using dead drops? I think it was pretty clear even from last week that the two had an alliance going on, so wasn't that kind of pointless?

Sure, since they weren't actually in an alliance last week just made a deal. So when people were saying don't tell Hyumin anything or give him false info he can just confirm that stuff from Dongmin who wasn't suspected of working with him since they weren't talking.

Yeonseung what did you to your hair? Goofy hair you was cool. Doesn't even look like the same guy here!  E; Alright, Ahyoung corpsing so hard again but also making Dealer-nuna do so just from a slightly coughing fit is gonna be hard to top.

As I've said time and again, the best part of The Genius is watching dealer nuna corpsing. Pretty good episode again this week, and judging by the preview it seems like this season might get on a roll. Again, Hyunmin and Dongmin dominated the main match, mostly because it took two games in a row for people to understand those two are way too good at this whole Genius thing. Keeping their alliance on the down low helped, of course, but manipulating the timing for buying and selling stocks by trading information at the right time was the decisive element for their win. I mean, if the guy that spent 13 garnets to get confidential material tells you "I can save you if you do me a solid", you help him regardless of whether or not you trust him. The deathmatch was better this time and Jongbum finally justified being one of my top picks back in episode 1 with some solid reads. I hate when these types of games (the ones with spectator participation) become about alliances and misinformation, so the decision to make it a fair match made me very happy. Neither player was amazing at the game, but I feel like the better guy won at the end. The cheeky intentional loss at the start was my favorite bit, although Jongbum should've seen the mirror play coming, it's the natural reaction to being made a fool. Is it just me or you guys can sense somewhat of a power ranking between this season's participants? I mean, Hyunmin and Dongmin are far and beyond the best players, but you also have Jongbum and Yoohyun being smart, even if always outplayed, Ahyoung being a bad player with good connections, and Yeonseung and Yeonjoo just being...kinda hopeless. The producers and the cast seem to have figured that out, if next week's preview isn't intentionally misleading - a majority rules game where people are piling on Dongmin/Hyunmin? Awesome.

I'll acknowledge that Hyunmin and Dongmin are the best players out there, but I realllly hope it doesn't come down to the two of them in the end because it means a boring 6 episodes of them dominating the game while everyone else gets picked off. Of the two, I'd like to see Hyunmin go (I haven't liked him since the first episode). He's really overconfident and hopefully someone will backstab him when he's not expecting it. I think if Yoohyun can survive the next couple of episodes, he's going to be a force to be reckoned with. My read on him is that he's very good at playing the games individually, but keeps getting outdone because Dongmin/Hyunmin are better at getting other people to break the games in their favor. Her certainly looked this episode like he wanted to strangle Hyunmin, so I'm hoping he can organize a coup of some kind. And I hope Ahyoung is one of the last to go because (Like everyone else apparently) I'm just completely enamored with her. E: Yeah, my immediate guess for the secret information was a market crash. It just seemed to be on-theme and we hadn't see one yet.

Yeah the market crash was obvious to me too. Some other ideas that could've also worked: -One company goes bankrupt (future price changes don't matter, the stock is just worthless the rest of the game) -Stock split (probably wouldn't have too much effect so late in the game, but would essentially double the effects of any remaining changes) -Nothing useful at all (I just want to see this happen once with these garnet auctions)

Subyng posted:Did anyone else feel that the market crash was super obvious? I expected something like that to happen and the time gap made it clear that an event would occur. Even without the insider knowledge I'd divest myself at that time just to be safe. A bankruptcy was possible, but if I had information on the movement of all five stocks after 2:40 then it would be safe to assume that wasn't going to happen; they're not going to saddle some players with worthless information.

Great main match, ok death match. Dealer Nuna and Ahyoung for the finals with Dongmin yelling at them both would be the best.

He needs to be way more proactive - he tends to go "oh poo poo I need to do something about Hyunmin" about an hour after the victory has already been sealed.

I think some of that is down to editing; outside of Jury he's never come close to losing a game, but his play isn't very spectacular. In several episodes now he's quietly come in just behind Hyunmin and Dongmin basically on his own strength, but keeps getting outdone by cooperative and social play from the other two. I think if he survives to the point where teamwork starts taking a back seat to individual play, he'll be very hard to get rid of, in much the same way Yohwan was, but without Yohwan's self-destructive streak.

People are talking badly about Yoohyun, but a strong player who doesn't really win main matches but doesn't lose them either? To top it off he has just enough alliance to have not gotten picked yet for death matches? Gonna go far if you ask me.

Absolutely. I expect Yoohyun to be Dongmin and Hyunmin's main obstacle going forward. His only problem last match was not seeing Dongmin and Hyunmin's alliance, but that's out in the open now.

I didn't think crash, I thought all the stocks would double so anyone who had 1 of a stock suddenly had 2. As in you would be wiser to be holding onto any stock rather than money during that round.
