I also wanted to check in and say that this game is awesome. Loved the first episode of season 2. I was also worried that the second season cast would not be as good. I hope Noh Hong-Chul stays for a long time because they need people that are funny to cut down on the tension in the game. I would really like to see Ha Ha on this show based on his cameo from season one.

Might as well put Kwangsoo in it as well..

I've got 2 episodes of S1 left, and the Tactical Yutnori is absolutely killing me. It doesn't help that the games go on for about 2 hours and are condensed into minutes that make it confusing, and half of me just thinks 'Should I just skip to what appears to be the last few minutes?' and the answer in hindsight is pretty much always 'Yes'.

Didn't get on with that image card game much either, R/P/S (even though I should've been sick of it due to how often its used in RM) and Indian Poker are a lot more 'watchable' from a Western perspective at least.

I like the deathmatch of second last episode.

Looking at Bumdidlyumptious' twitter it looks like someone made a text based game out of the food chain game. Too bad it's not in English :(.

Who would want to go to a death match with him? Anyone who will target Jinho will be subtle about it for sure.

Top of that if you are the one taking Jinho out of the game you are the new threat.

Episode 5 Such a shame that there is only one girl player left now in the game. Laser chess was definitely in Yohwans favor. I would wanted to see how that game would have played out if it was Jinho against him though. Preview for next episode looks promising.

Could it be that the episodes that arrive were only 2-3 episodes behind the shootings and rest of the cast watched newest episode and saw the Safe so now everyone knows where it is in the next episode that we are awaiting to watch eagerly.

When the subber said episode 6 is going to be edited, what does that mean? Will we be getting the edited episode, or will it just be edited for future broadcasts in Korea? I don't want to hunt for a raw episode, but my curiousity is killing me and I don't want a watered down version.


The episode that aired had been edited in a way that it's not like every normal episode.

Hint hint. It's very emotional episode.

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.

He should absolutely be in the next season along with Ha-ha from Running Man

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. :v:

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.

When the season started I kinda wished the finals to be like how they are now but how they got there I am disappointed.

However I will stick with my initial plan and hope Yohwan wins this. Yohwan this is like amazing race or survivor. It doesn't matter how many immunities you win or legs the last episode is what matters so don't gently caress it up like you have done the previous 11 episodes so far

I really hope it isn't as a player. It will just be everbody ganging up on him until he gets eliminated.

I want him back but for the love of something else than god bring competent players as well into the game. We need players that think Jinho is a puppy that can be beaten easily. That way Jinho can have another underdog comeback and redeem that season.

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.

While I agree that this could have happened but I wonder if any participant would have figured out that it's either gonna be one of these two and which one is causing more drama that would be the one that happens which is crash. Greed is a beautiful thing.

Is there a reason that some non-Genius show discussion ends up in here instead of the general Korean TV thread?

I'm not trying to be a dick or backseat mod, I'm honestly curious if there's some connection that I'm missing. And I spend no time in the Korean TV thread, so maybe y'all are staying away from it for whatever reason?

Cause its the same subber who is subbing genius and abnormal for us so that's the main point of relevance. Anything else? Nah
