Running Man Episode 681


Guests: Hong Jinho (pro poker player, former StarCraft BW pro gamer “YellOw”), Shin Yeeun (actress)


My Entertainment Score: 8 out of 10 laughs


There were one too many meals for me this episode, but I enjoyed the games, simple as they were. 


What Happened


Theme: Package Option Trip Race


Opening (start of episode- 7:00)

The members gather and introduce their ‘characters’, which also show the preset teams for the day.


Teams:

Seokjin and Jaesuk

Jongkook and Jinho

Haha and Jihyo

Sechan and Yeeun


Race Explanation (7:00- 7:49)

The members will travel according to the schedule set by the staff. At each location, a game will be played. The winning teams will not need to pay. The losing team will pay for the activity. At the end of the day, the team with the most money left over is the winner. The team with the least money will get a penalty.


Seed Money Mission: We’re Here to Find Money (7:49- 23:00)

A table is filled with money. Each team will get the chance to play and choose the ‘defending team’. The playing team gets 10 chances to grab as many bills as possible and bring them across a line without getting hit by the slipper that the defending team is using to slap their hand. If the playing team’s hand gets slapped, any bills in hand are forfeit. 


First Itinerary: Breakfast (23:00- 43:08)

The members head to a local breakfast hotspot and order to their hearts’ content. 


Pop-Up Pirate Roulette - 33:35. Each person gets a pop-up pirate game. Everyone takes turns putting in a sword. The team with the member who fails to pop the pirate has to pay for breakfast.


Second Itinerary: Foot Massage or Shopping (43:08- 1:04:55)

Partners must split up with one member going to each possible location. 


The members getting a massage are Jaesuk, Jinho, Haha, and Sechan. Which means Seokjin, Jongkook, Jihyo, and Yeeun are going shopping.


Foot Massage From Hell - 47:37. The first member to cry out during a DEEP foot massage will determine the team that must pay for the shopping trip. After that they are able to enjoy a relaxing massage. 


Third Itinerary: Lunch (1:04:55- 1:19:00)


Master of Skewers - 1:06:45. The staff shows the members a picture of a skewer. One member of each team will attempt to create the same skewer. The fastest person earns a point for their team. The team with the least points at the end of 6 questions will pay for lunch.


Fourth Itinerary: Slingshot Ride (1:19:00- 1:27:10)

Teams could choose to ride the slingshot or not. Any team (both members HAD to ride) would be able to choose from a random expense payment card. The card was either 0 or 200. That amount would be added to the total for the team, meaning a team in last could gain enough money to avoid the dreaded penalty.


Final Results (1:27:10- end of episode)

The losing team needed to dance and continue dancing until five people from the crowd danced with them. No cheering or instigating was allowed.


Preview: Yoo Seungho (actor) and V (singer from BTS) join the cast for another card shark special episode, just as V had wanted. It looks like there will be some games though, so I’m looking forward to it!

Foot Massage From Hell

Sechan could not withstand the foot massage. He and Yeeun must pay for the shopping trip.


The total of the trip was so high that they repeated the game with the shopping members when they returned from shopping to potentially split the cost with a second team. Seokjin is the first to yell, so he and Jaesuk will also pay for this leg of the trip.

Seokjin and Jaesuk are now $75 in debt. Sechan and Yeeun are $113 in debt.


Master of Skewers

Sechan and Yeeun have to pay for lunch. They are now $213 in debt.


The lunch cost $100.


Slingshot

Sechan and Yeeun rode the slingshot because they were in last place, but Yeeun drew the 0 card, so they stayed in last place and had to take the penalty.


Haha and Jihyo won a teapot set from the area.
