So after watching s2e1 I've gone back and gotten through 7 of season 1 and this show is amazing. Season 1 Episode 7 Jinho you magnificent bastard! The look on everybody's faces as they realized what was happening was priceless. Oh and on the topic of people who should be on this show, I think Firebathero would be amazing on this.

Am I the only one that thinks Gyul is too strong in the Hap/Gyul game? I honestly think it should only be worth one point.

Alternatively don't make it American, but make it British and get the best of the panel show regulars, plus maybe some other out there invites.

Great episode, in fact I'm even starting to like Junghyun now. I do agree that both games weren't the strongest this week, but it still allowed Jinho and Yoonsun to be awesome this week. Especially liked Jinho's rightous anger speech.

I really think Junghyun is our best hope for defecting from that group as he's seems like a genuinely good person and didn't like what was going on despite it being his team doing it.

Welp I'm on the anyone but Jiwon train now. I actually don't think Junghyun is that bad though clearly Sangmin is an overwhelming favorite with his avantages right now. One thing though about the death match that irritated me was having the pot ride on a tie. I mean what is that poo poo, is splitting the pot too difficult for the dealers or what? Why did they put that in, to save time or something? I mean yeah it ended up dramatic and tense and all, but putting it in the "the hands of God!" isn't what I tune in for.

Strategy- There is litterly 100% no way that Jinho can fold there. Its a total freeroll and he can't just give up 7% of chips to fold against a possible tie. It was also the proper move by Jiwon given his abilities vs Jinho's. It was the dumb let it ride rule that was hosed up and only that.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:Yeah, personally I don't begrudge or cast doubt on Sangmin doing as well as he has. But seeing that dogfaced piece of poo poo Jiwon take out Jinho was just the breaking point, and every week that idiotic scumbag remains on the show just makes a mockery out of the show's title and premise. Well hey just consider this. There is probably a decent shot that Jiwon will have to face Doohee again, but with Doohee having power. So that's a reason to keep watching if nothing else.

Junghyun fighting! Great strategy for the deathmatch, the only thing that would have made it better I think is, that you keep picking the same tile that other guys just picked, not just any tile they've picked. I think that way it gives more opportunity for your opponent to forgett what letters they've already chosen.

Fast Luck posted: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. I'm pretty sure he paid them back at the start of this episode. They talk about it and Junghyun takes them out, they don't show the actual exchange, but when Super Junior comes out there are 3 garnets on the table in front of Sangmin.

Raeg posted:Finally managed to spent a day to catch up on eps 6-10 (Jesus, ep 6 was a mixture of comedy excellence and complete pain). It has been interesting that really, this seasons seems to be more about certain players schemes completely imploding and handing off a default win a lot of the time but really, Sangmin really has shown himself just amazingly adapt at the social aspect of the game. At first I was starting the think along the lines of producers rigging scenarios in his favour but really, he has just had the right role when others around him have been running around like headless chickens and things lined up nicely. Yeah he also has the chill goofy dad vibe that I can't help but love.

redreader posted:This show WAS called rule breaker, and Yohwan broke all the rules to be the worst game player and still ruled in the deathmatches. He'll definitely beat Sangmin in the finals. I don't think he's good though, he's just a cheap motherfucker. He's good at deathmatches but he just seems like a slimy, lying, cheating rear end in a top hat. Second worst person on the show, after Jiwon. The maths professor from ep 1 was pretty bad but didn't do anything terrible enough to make me dislike him. I'm just sad that my favourite was taken down in this episode, which I honestly didn't think would happen so badly. That was a pretty full-on beating that Jhungyun received. The thing is though, there seem to be multiple reasons to play: there's winning and gaining popularity for other shows/etc in the future. I don't think he's getting much popularity out of this. I'm not sure how you figure those adjitives don't apply to Sangmin, he's just better at it. Though really Yohwan he's just been bad at main games, I havn't seen anything that I'd call a real moral failing like Jiwon and Yooyoung perpitrated.

I think she does that in case the producers of the Genius decide they can't stand the episodes being available with subs and get a takedown on youtube. edit- beaten like Jinho in a starcraft final Zythrst fucked around with this message at 22:17 on Feb 26, 2014 |

Fast Luck posted:So little Moby music lately! First game was good, they had an opportunity to use the music when they revealed Yohwan's counting with the chips. Is that a well-known poker player's trick or did Yohwan come up with that? The counting trick might be from something, but its not usefull in casino poker where counting cards is pointless since the deck gets shuffled after every hand.

Shakugan posted:I just hope they don't copy the games we've already seen in the Korean version. There's a tendency to do this in some reality shows (e.g. international versions of Amazing Race and Survivor replicating tasks from the US version), but this is a show where the enjoyment for those who've seen the games already would be much lower (primarily for those games that have "tricks" that we've already seen discovered). Well yeah that would be stupid, not for the reason you state(because how much of the audience could really be Korean tv viewers), but rather that some of the contestants are bound to check out the Korean version, just to see what its like.

I like this show a lot though in light of how this played out it seems to me, that if somebody had spent the entire time searching the daughters room, they'd have found the raincoat which along with everything else would have been completely damning. So in future episodes wouldn't it make sense for the team to divide up rooms to search exclusively during the evidence gathering phase? I mean nobody would be assigned a room they are associated with so even the guilty party would have no reason to withhold evidence.

Superrodan posted:The raincoat was just a raincoat with holes in it though, since the blood had been washed off. It could have easily been explained as "I used it as a costume once" or something. Yeah I just meant there would have been a pretty heavy evidence load in that direction, I mean it almost went the other way with what they already had. As far as Henry I don't know why people think the producers don't want him acting this way. Beside his interactions with others have been great.

I think Henry wasn't so bad this time, at least some of his questions durring the back and forth were pertinent.

Maybe Henry is playing the long game, you ever think of that? If he keeps acting goofy, then nobody will notice when he's not helpfull when he's the criminal.

Chainsawdomy posted:Honestly the whole button thing seemed so contrived that I thought John had fabricated it, and it convinced me he was somehow the killer despite any real evidence. I assumed he'd just pulled a button off his own clothes and 'found it' in the water. I guess that would be against the rules, though? Yeah its pretty unclear how gamey you can be in this.

Good stuff, I wasn't swayed by the crying, because I felt she could have been crying genuinely even if she was guilty. On the other hand, I sort of felt throughout that the evidence against the secretary was almost too good, and kept expecting something a little more damning to show up for another character. I mean come on guys motive is all well with the security guard, but opportunity is kind of a big one to overlook.

Dragonatrix posted:I got it right too, albeit only just. When she started crying I very nearly considered the employee lady instead and couldn't make up my mind between them for the longest time. The glut of evidence for the secretary beforehand was what kept me from completely disregarding her, though. The hairpin that was found by Hyunmoo near the end, and the venn diagram sealed it, yeah. It's not really suprising when the detective did it a few other were like 'welp', trust an expert.

Symbolic Butt posted:Jinho was so hilariously bad this episode, goddamn. I don't see how. He figured out who the killer was, and managed to completely sway Yoonji and nearly convince Sunggyu. It's not his fault that the Lawyer and Hyunmoo were being dense about the lifer having no opportunity. I mean seriously how was he even supposed to know where the victim would be?

Tonfa posted:I adore the effort that went into the sudden format change. Felt the setting was weaker than the other mysteries though, the guests weren't that great either. I was expecting Sunggyu to have more presence. He was kind of like that on The Genius to start out, I think he needs to settle into a comfort zone with a program before he's effective.

Fast Luck posted:That episode was the funniest one to date. It had some of what I liked about Genius season 1 with everyone just laughing and having such a good time. The problem is that the Administrator had no motive once the method of death was found since the firing had only occurred on the day and the murdering began a week prior. So once they figured that out the doctor was the only one who had motive and opportunity. I think Jinho was probably right to try for Beauty Parks, because she was clearly insane and that she was the one suspected originally by many and some people get fixated on the first impression. Really though I think Jinho was just screwed in this one, should have picked the chicken delivery man
