He hasn't had much chance to show it yet, but I'd bet he has the same deathmatch skills Jinho showed with obviously none of the other strengths. They could get Guillaume Patry, the first OSL winner. He's a better Korean speaker than Jinho.

I kind of dislike how all the season 1 players basically all got together and conspired to make sangmin win. I mean, don't get me wrong I love Sangmin, but I feel he's just been served the easiest and best hands all season long. I'm glad Mr. Magoo is still in the show though.  I hope he bumbles to a season win.

I really think that game needed more 'carnivores'? Junghyun and Sangmin were the only ones, Sangmin takes out Junghyun in round one and it's pretty much over. Yeah, the President and his son the Prince needed more firings but they couldn't make any themselves. I loved seeing that dude who Jinho eliminated in the first ep get wise to the betrayal coming and take off. They were all planning their 'all joint winners, except you' strategy. Not so fast. Redemption! Okay death match, it might have been a bit too simple, too much a roll of the dice. Oh well, it was great seeing a bunch of people I liked watching for a change this week!

I thought the deathmatch was great, and I instantly had 2 or 3 strategies in mind when they went over the concept.

But I think it's often the simple games that lead to the most interesting strategies. For example, if Jinho played that deathmatch, I have no doubt he could crush anyone by inferring exactly which tiles the opponent had left

Great ep, seeing Sunggyu call the female dealer 'nuna' was as glorious as anticipated. Loved his emotional reunion with Sangmin and laughed so hard when they cut to the earlier clip and showed Sangmin hiding behind the door. Also great: Sangmin's "No workplace romances" and Kyungran's complicated scheming. Totally random thing that made me laugh: there's a license plate on the wall of the garage that says "New Jersey: The Sunshine State". GraPar fucked around with this message at 18:25 on Feb 5, 2014 |

Great mainmatch - If you keep in mind that its a episode 1 or 2 setup where they tried to make as much people as possible winners, the strategy needed Sangmin and it was not they knew him from season 1. It will be interesting to see how the Immortality thing works with so few people, because if it doesn't work, Sangmin should have suicided himself into picking the perfect deathmatch he wanted. Because he did not show any signs that this is his plan, I believe that the immortallity overrides the tokens, just like it would have if everyone were a shared winner today, which was impossible but explained in the episode nonetheless.

It would have been possible if the picked roles were just right for all the players to win and all the guests to lose. Longshot, but you have to think of everything as a producer.

Wow what a great episode! I loved Songgyu + Sangmin reunion. Also Songgyu calling the dealer nuna was crazy good, he won so he better treat her nice! But yeah that main match was a lot of fun to watch. The season 1 people just straight up schooled everyone. Also Yohwan is so loving dumb though. I'm really disappointed in that guy seriously, this is like the 3rd straight episode his strategy completely falls apart. I bet its gonna go down to Jiwon vs Yohwan in the next episode for sure. Junghyun has also come a long way man, holy poo poo. I didn't think he would last this long at all. I'm so sad at the outcome of the deathmatch though since I really liked Yooyoung (also now there are no more girls on the show which is kinda weird). Good deathmatch though and Junghyun has a solid mental fortitude. I would've cracked early on probably. Honestly I wish Yohwan was eliminated and we kept Yooyoung, because he has been useless this entire season. At least Jiwon has done things you know. BRING ON SUPER JUNIOR!

 Found it online, but no information (the presence of Marilyn Monroe is just a third totally bizarre thing). And we're not even getting into the decorations in other rooms, probably most notably an Obama Hope poster and a newspaper front page about John Lennon's murder. More relevantly: It is so funny to me how hard Sangmin tries to win every single game, even the last few weeks when he hasn't really had to. Would definitely be more than a worthy winner.

The funny thing is that we could get an English version, because it seems like the UK has a "broadcaster culture" similar to Korea, with a bunch of B/C-list celebrities who are quite smart and jovial with one another. Stephen Fry, David Mitchell and Bill Bailey would be awesome contestants, for example. Someone should tweet Stephen Fry (does he have a twitter?) about this show. It seems like something he'd get behind.

Stephen Fry David Mitchell Brian Cox Richard Ayoade Victoria Coren Gabby Logan Charlie Brooker Sue Perkins Ken Livingstone Claudia Winkleman Shappi Khorsandi Someone like Sean Locke or Jimmy Carr to fill the acerbic mockery slot A young entertainer like Sungkyu or Jiwon to surprise everyone by getting into the final 4. Someone actually from the UK could probably put together a more diverse list.

Jeremy Clarkeson would be like the douchebag 'comedian' from season 1. Ricky gervais. I'd say Karl Pilkington... but no. He'd be awful.

Solid list: in the interest of following the breakdown of the Korean casts, I'd probably throw in a newsreader/journalist - ideally Jeremy Paxman, obviously - and maybe a sportsperson, probably most obviously Clarke Carlise. Creating perfect lineups for this show that will never happen is great fun but almost too depressing. It would be awesome if someone could just get the right person to see an episode though. I assume everyone in this thread checks out everything the subber posts on their Twitter anyway, but this super short clip of Jinho on a show called I Live Alone amused me greatly GraPar fucked around with this message at 22:16 on Feb 7, 2014 |

Nah, Clarkson is really charismatic and knows how to make fun of himself. He'd probably be most like Hongchul, he's loud and confident and takes nothing seriously.

Well that's why I tried to pick people who've exhibited valuable skills in the outside world while still being entertaining on TV. Brian Cox, for instance, works on the collider at CERN, and Victoria Coren was a professional poker player. Ken Livingstone was mayor of London. Besides, the actual Genius selected plenty of people who's genius was 'being charismatic'.

Finished Season 1 on Youtube last night. That was so awesome. I'm not sure I can watch Season 2 since it only seems to be on DailyMotion, and ads every four minutes are annoying the hell out of me. I can't even finish the first episode.
