I might be making this up, but it looked like Eunkyul was reading the clue over Jinho's shoulder, and Jinho knew and didn't care.

I'm convinced that Jiwon was cast to be a tool. I mean, look at those loving hats. I don't understand anybody whose anywhere made them think that dressing like that doesn't make you look like a tool. I wasn't as pissed off this week as most of you seem to be, but I guess Jiwon is a better villain than Russell Hantz so this show has that going for it, at least. I also agree that the mechanics of this week's game blatantly encouraged the events that transpired. They definitely wanted something like this to happen.

Also, getting the winning combination required getting another player to hand you one of their dice. If two people had actually managed to work together, they could have shared the win. Genius usually goes for that combination of ingenuity and social efficacy.

Corn Thongs posted:Jiwon with the premature GG, embarrassing Zuh...wha? Great episode. It's made up for a lot of the bluh we've had this season. 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.

Nexal posted:He should absolutely be in the next season along with Ha-ha from Running Man After getting into that show, I actually went back and rewatched the episode in S1 where he's a guest. He did well, but I honestly think that Jong Kook or Ji Hyo would be better. Or, heck, get them all in there for a cross-season of insanity. It's not like it could possibly be bad.

Mob posted:During the week-long wait for this episode I watched the first ep of Running Man and then I watched 29 more. Congratulations. 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.

Does it even matter that Yohwan is so poor? It's a winner-take-all game, and I don't remember garnets being a huge factor in the end game last time. I'm also curious as to what Sangmin's big scandal was. I googled to no avail. I even tried using Hangul!

If you'd told me a month ago that my most highly anticipated program would soon be a Korean game show,I would have laughed in your face. Seriously! I feel a little ridiculous, and I kind of wonder if my new neighbors think I'm Korean/what(?) for all the foreign language babble they hear through the walls. Xachariah posted:Yeah And then Yohwan ends up having a cute girlfriend and Jinho goes home and cries himself to sleep. Watching that, though...I might have gone and installed Starcraft. I never made it through the single player campaign back in the day, so I've got that going for me, which is nice.

JakeP posted:How is someone who is pretty famous, recently had a windfall of cash, and is basically at the peak of their popularity and fame lonely? Jinho really can't find a girl? What? This is what makes me wonder about Korean celebrity culture. When they say Jinho makes a "six-figure salary," I'm assuming you can currency-convert that down to a five-figure US salary. So, with that, he lives in a tiny studio reminiscent of what I saw in San Francisco. Basically, I buy the notion that Jinho is a niche nerd with financial options but not a whole ton of opulence. That makes sense. Again, cultural wonderings. Also, they send a lot of time in that show on Jinho's speech impediment. I'd assume it's hard-impossible for a non-Korean to recognize, but imagine the high school nerd with slobbery braces and maybe that's how girls see him. It's a shame. As a straight girl, I'd date Jinho in a hot second.

The progamer houses are a Thing. There was a Canadian League of Legends player the US imported last summer and they talked a bit about it. Kind of sounds like the nerdiest frathouse ever, ie, no drugs, no girls, but all the brotainment you can handle.

He seems to have free time, and lives in an accessible area. I dont get it. That's the thing. Jinho's the biggest goon ever, and he's a quasi-celebrity in east Asia. Most of SomethingAwful needs a dose of whatever he's having.

Dragonatrix posted:So, I'm curious if that idea to run a forum version of this in PbP or the like ever got off the ground? It's definitely doable, because I have played a thing on another forum that was basically just this without the Garnet system. With S2 finished, it seems like it'd be timed pretty well if someone was to do it. This would be loads of fun and I'd play in a heartbeat.

Carice van Houten and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau are the only Dutch celebrities I can name because...well, you know why. I doubt they'd be into it, but they seem the intelligent-entertaining level of Genius contestants. It's more about being clever than being book-smart, anyway.

Drunkle working with the nurse makes sense. He needs cash, she doesn't, and yeah, it's the only way to explain why the life insurance policy was in his wastebasket. There's also the added motive of the affair/disrespect to his sister. So it makes sense if: -Nurse sedates Dad -Drunkle gets drunk, because killing people is difficult if you're of sound, rational mind -Drunkle stabs Dad after nurse leaves, while Sis is sleeping on the couch. This show is great!

Rarity posted:Unlikely. You'd want to give the criminal the knowledge so he can divert suspicion away from him. This is why I think the driver is the killer, he's being the most vocal about blaming someone else. Fair point, but I more attribute it to the guy himself being a ham, like Gura from The Genius. As far as having to blame more than one person, I think they're just looking for whoever literally went stabby-stabby. For Drunkle, I can see him blackmailing the nurse with knowledge of the life insurance policy and affair since her employers, current or future, wouldn't be very happy with her boning patients (I make more money from working than I would have from that policy!).

Insurrectionist posted:My main issue with the uncle reasoning is how would an inebriated - even drunk if we trust the nurse, which we have no reason not to assuming he's the actual culprit - person, in emotional distress, even if he was knowledgeable about the human body (which there's no indication of so far), manage to stab so perfectly? Doesn't seem to make sense to me. Admittedly the uncle is a natural suspect since his actions and relative distance from the whole crime makes him just the kind of perp you see in all manner of criminal fiction, and he has motive and (with windows) opportunity, but I'm not sure he had the means given how the crime went down. Nurse marks his neck with a dot using a sharpie or something after she sedates him. Also, he'd only had 3-4 beers over a two-hour period. He probably wasn't that drunk. This is Korea we're talking about. quote:Another thing I've been wondering is, why would the perp press the wound with the towel/bandage/whatever afterwards? It's not like it did any work in concealing the bleeding, and obviously it was no help in stopping it either, not that the murderer would want to do that. And the victim apparently went straight into shock, and certainly didn't manage to alert anyone, so he's unlikely to have done it to try and stem the tide. Panic? Wanting to leave as small a bloodstain as possible?

I thought he could have made a much stronger case on Beauty Park. She could easily(?) have snuck into the medication room while "going to the washroom" or something. They didn't know that the meds needed days to work until the reveal, and it's very true that a patient will learn their way around medications as they go through the process of seeing doctors and being prescribed various things for various reasons. Also, the side effects being listed on the loving bottles can be swayed to a layman, notably Beauty and Maid. Embarrassingly, I thought it wasn't Jinho because he was stuttering. Guess he's a smart cookie on that front.

This was a fantastic episode. The football theme was mad fun. By the end, the only people I'd really ruled out were Jinho and girlfriend. I guess I also had a decently good feeling about the junior referee. It was also nice that the cast missed the clinch clue, like the extra button in the school episode. All that said, the preview has me PUMPED for the finale.

I decided to be a huge nerd and look this up while I was watching the episode. Chloroform can be used to create dyes. It's a bit of a stretch, but since film lighting can be super wonky, I'm willing to suspend disbelief just enough to buy it.

I threw this in the Running Man thread, but the latest episode with HaHa as a guest is really good. They veer off into talking about education in general, but they start off talking about Sex Ed and porn, which is hilarious. They finish things off with foreigners trying to speak English, which is also funny. They also replaced the Brit with a German, for whatever little that's worth. I guess I agree that having the cast be entirely dudes is kind of a bummer.

For me, I wasn't as convinced that Dongmin won all of that support from simple goodwill. Maybe I could go back and rewatch, and I'd change my opinion here, but it seemed like a matter of courtesy and respect. Like, Dongmin is older (Korea has a weird oppa complex), and he is a very well-established comedian/broadcaster, whereas Hyunmin is the supposedly cocky KAIST student who's younger than literally the rest of the cast. I could see that both as being bitter that he'd beaten them, as well as deferential to a significant figure of cultural influence, so the fact that the advantages were so unilateral kind of left a sour taste in my mouth. Not to say this was a bad finale. Not at all! It was a lot more satisfying than season 2. It just felt hollow and foregone before it even started.
