Just finished 5 and 6. I was basically Sangmin in 5's Scamming Horse Race, and got roped along by Eunjin's lie. Once the lie was exposed everything made sense. Good play on her part, was fun. Was disappointed when the consecutive victory game came back again, a bit sick of it by now, though the excessive montage they gave Changyeop and Jungmoon was entertaining. It went on so long and went through at least two songs, haha.

Episode 6 was fun in a bit of a frustrating way. The bigger village basically handed victory over to the smaller group when they gave up the majority in there. But for once, the death match was fun! Indian Poker between Jinho and Gura was great, especially when Jinho revealed his strat of FOLD UNTIL HE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT CARDS WERE LEFT and then force Gura to go all in. Goddamn. It was lucky that he wasn't lucky enough to keep drawing 10s until he figured it out though.

Taking a break before going on 7. Addicted!

EDIT:

Open/Pass. Jinho. Goddamn.

Jiwon losing to Junghyun was pretty good though they both seemed quite weak at the game to be honest. More importantly next week it's :siren:Jinho:siren:

If it helps, Junghyun and Jiwon are related to each other. It makes Jiwon's defeat a lot more delicious, especially since Junghyun berated him in episode 6 for the shenanigans with the id card.

It really really does haha! Considering the airing schedule Jinho should be well aware of Sangmin badmouthing him every minute of the day so it'd be just magical if somehow he lead to Sangmin's defeat in the penultimate episode like last time.

e: Now I'm just imaginging The Genius doubles matches where Jinho and Sangmin wreck everyone instantly

Season 3, Episode 10 The Dongmin fakeout goodbye montage is still the best.

I agree that Jinho's Open/Pass move was one of the top moments of the game, but in terms of the mental manipulation part of this game, Dongmin's move there is hard to top.

Just starting part two of the season two finale, this seems like a very fun game. Hweejong made a good point about asking questions your opponent can't answer e.g. "is it a perfect prime?" etc. Yohwan has been super impressive in all of his death matches and it's no wonder. South Korean compute nerds are so much more fashionable than western ones. Excited to move on to season three and see who flits with the female dealer more than Sunggyu. It was so great when he was back or an episode and promised to treat her

e: The password game is so funny because of Yohwan and everyone's reaction to his questions

Gonna say that Kyungran is the most independent female player on the show without contest. Not sure if that's the right word, but she's different from all the others.

I would love to see her face off with Lawyer Yoosun

Also I love this buckeen who plays poker, has an american accent, and looks like he's about to doze off.

Agreed, also I like that the dealer is apparently a big shot in the casino company. Hoping for a Fruit Stand rehearsal, seems complex atm.

Has anyone heard anything new about the planned Dutch or British versions? Miss the show so much.

SPOILERS FOR SEASON 3 and onwards!!!

Eagerly awaiting Emmy's reaction to the rise of God Emperor Dongmin and the understanding of why the Korean version of the Genius ended: they found him.

Ho ho ho my friend, Jinho has nothing on Dongmin.

Yeah. Ahyoung is pretty great, but she is not at all like Kyungran. The closest they get to a second Kyungran is Yoonsun.

So now that Emmy's met the cast of season 3, just so you know, Crime Scene features Dongmin as the MC in season 2. Season 1 has Lawyer Yoonsun, and both seasons have Jinho.

What, no, Yoonsun is not in Crime Scene at all. The cast of Crime Scene s1 is Jinho, Jiyoon, Hyunmoo, Yoon-G, That Lawyer Who Is In The First Six Episodes But I Forget Her Name, and Lawyer Kang who is in Genius s3.

Edit: the rest is true though

Now that I know Jinho is in it all the time I'm hoping Crime Scene always ends with the culprit pulling off a rubber mask and revealing "T'was I, Sangmin, all a long!"

I really hope Hweejong isn't sent to the Death Match in the first round. There hasn't been an Extreme Ways yet in the main match so hopefully there'll be one that helps the watermelons

I'm not sure if S3's contestants were actually nicer, or if they were all just more self-conscious about their image after witnessing the trainwreck of S2. Either way it resulted in some interesting dynamics.

In S2 everyone was looking to be rude and mean and just betray everyone I imagine, because that's what the show's about, right? Nobody was really immune to that, and Doohee's problem extended from that. "I'm here to break the rules and betray, so I can just steal his thing and then kick him to the curb again"

After that the cast of future seasons realized that they had to at the very least try to be nice instead of trying to out-betray everyone.

Man, season 4 ep 2's main match is such a poo poo show since everyone fucks up the strategy for that game. But the death match is at least exciting
