Hopefully next season has total new cast and no returnees.

By the way what do you guys think of the death match system where the players eliminate few games before the Nunna picks one of the remaining games to be played?

I really liked that system. Gave them some agency, but not full. It also gave them the chance to study all the possible elimination games after they were all revealed. It may make sense to throw in a few mystery ones so they can't practice perfectly.

I like the idea floated in this thread of giving out black garnets as prizes for defecting and other sneaky poo poo.

Maybe make them a bit stronger by letting you spend one to veto dealer nunna's choice of deathmatch and reroll?

I like this idea. Similar to "The Mole" where there were opportunities to sabotage the team's mission in exchange for immunity that night.

The Mole could be okay, but could also just be straight up bad. In the most recent US season, I think I remember hearing that everyone pretty much knew who the mole was immediately, so the show came down to who could finish the test the fastest without making a mistake.

Nostalgia used to be so much better.

I can't remember if it was in this thread or not, but does anyone remember a couple of puzzles that TvN posted as a sort of "entrance exam" for their Genius open casting call? They were on a blue starry background, one involved a spiral of some sorts, the other had numbers in circles on lines.

Sounds like survivor!

Also I wonder if they'll pull from the Genius pool for contestants or if they'll have an all new cast. Having any of the kings around would be interesting but definitely skew the whole thing.

I just started watching this after a recommendation from an ADTRW thread. Just halfway through the first episode of the first season and this is the best reality show of all time except for maybe To Catch a Predator. I really like the idol and even more now after he just shafted the auctioneer lady and I hope Gura(?) does well also.

Just cooking dinner and then I'll watch the rest of the opening episode. I liked that Sungyu(?) seemed dumb and is actually a snake or is being helped by someone behind the scenes like the teaser seems to be implying. My suspicion is on the kindly older guy who explained the strategy, Minsoo(?).

Crime Scene starts off *really* slow. You're better off starting with Season 2 or maybe halfway-ish through Season 1. They eventually drop it to one episode per case which does wonders for the pacing.

While this is bumped, does anyone know if there's been a compilation torrent or something of the entire series with Bumdi's subs?

I too gotta ask if something like that exists. I want to put it all on blu-ray for safe keepings and sharing with friends. convert2mp3.net is a handy tool but :effort:

I am super busy but I can't wait to do nothing but watch this all weekend. Just started the election in episode two of season one, others have started to notice Gura's excellence which is concerning. Jeohn being paid off with his own garnet in the opener was glorious.

Yeah season 2 is way better than season 1. Well the first episode of season 2 was kinda pointless. Other than that it was great

If that first episode became a full season of something like that, I'd watch and enjoy it. It was cool seeing how long it took each person to clue in that they were being tested.
