In the last few episodes it showed that there were much smarter people on the show. What I really liked about Gura and what I think set him above others in the beginning was how ruthless he was. Gura he realised that at the end of the day only one person wins. He also had great moments early on and his biggest failing seemed to be that people realised he was out for number one and stopped working with him. I've had my eye on Sunggyu as well ever since he was the one who suggested Gura swap antidote bottles with him.

e: Sunggyu is some kind of quantum moron because I have no idea if he's super sharp or thick as two short planks

I was expecting someone to mark cards but Jinho's was much slicker than my idea to make a small divot with a fingernail.

You're talking Open, Pass, right? I think they said in the rules you can't mark or damage the cards.

Oh man. Open Pass was one of those brilliant, most memorable Genius moments that they can never replicate. After that, everyone already knows to look for secret properties of every prop in every game. But you can't take away that one moment where Jinho looks lile a magician.

They do manage to pull off similar stuff - the showrunners and players are pretty sharp.

I think that's the scene that really made the Genius special and worthy of the show title.

Yeah, the narrator is usually rather dry and dramatic. This was the only time (I think) where they break character and just go "What the gently caress."

He turned out to be what I was hoping, a pretty boy who is actually really sharp. When he won in the first episode I was hopeful but then it turned out to actually be Kyungran who convinced him to shaft Minseo. What I like so much about him is that his stupid moments are genuine and his sharp moments are really sharp rather than luck or bumbling. I keep expecting police to burst in and take him away after they find the remains of that idol "who almost took leader of Infinity from me" is found in Sunggyu's septic tank.


e: Is it true Gura and Sangmin have a TV show together? :kimchi:

Sunggyu leaving was very sad, the female dealer must be devastated

The 5:5 Game is my favorite one so far, really relies on the the individual's ability to use what they have. Impressed by the the OR questions used. Surprised no once asked the guests what they'd been told.

Female dealer gets a new fan in season 3 that becomes one of the best relationships on the show.

5:5 is definitely the best, because there were so many different ways to make that game work, though Jinho of course found the most elegant solution to the game.

Yeah, I think it's exceptionally good at showcasing how the remaining contestants think.

Kyungran is thorough and by the book.

Sangmin relies on his observational skill.

Jinho finds a solution that destroys the game.

Edit: though honestly I don't like jinho's solution to the game because it, well, wrecks the game forever. As soon as you permit creating new information, the game is meaningless

Yeah I was just about to say it was a great showcase for each of them. Kyungran asking double condition questions to force a 5:5 was impressive, Sangmin working solely off what he could see and verify was really sharp, then Jinho just blew them away with such a simple plan. Disgraceful he didn't get an Extreme Power overlay.




Glad Kyungran got though even though I prefer Sangmin, she was shafted by that girl giving the wrong birthday.

Yoonsun needs to win this so she's proven right about loyalty and Hweejong goes into a midlife crisis.

Hongchul is uh, Hongchul. There's no one quite like him. He's the elevator airhumping guy in Gangnam Style and he never ever in any show turns down the "I am 110% energetic and obnoxious" vibe

V Yeah, Extreme Ways has been used in all the Bourne movies.
