Variety Review: 2Days, 1Night, Season 4- Episode 113 pt 2- 115 Geoje in Warm and Filling trip
*2 Days, 1 Night is a show where 6 regular cast members take themed trips around Korea to show off its charms. Each trip has a theme designed to highlight an area or else to create cohesion for the games they play. The general formula for a trip is a lunch game, a dinner game, and a sleeping inside or outside game. Half of the members (in teams or as individuals) will win lunch. The same will be true of dinner and the right to sleep inside instead of in a tent. Trips often cover several episodes.*
This Trip’s Theme: Geoje is Warm and Filling trip
My Entertainment Score: overall 8 out 10 laughs
Episode 113 pt. 2 was a 7 for me. I’m enjoying the new dynamics of Inwoo with the rest of the members.
Episode 114 was an 8 for me. This was one meal and one game (with its consequences) and I still laughed an unnecessary amount.
Episode 115 was an 8 for me. These guys are consistently terrible and some things and it's consistently funny.
What Happened:
Opening (36:17 of 113- 47:20)
The members gather and chat before hearing the theme of the trip.
42:13 They divide into teams of 3 by doing an up/down game. They all lie on the ground and on the count of three, they have to decide to either stay on their stomach or roll onto their back. As soon as they have 3 up and 3 down, the teams are created. It was a pretty funny process…as it created another trip of OB (elders) vs YB (youngers) for the new member Inwoo, which didn’t work out so well last time.
Lunch Game (47:20- 20:57 of ep. 114)
The members enter a tropical greenhouse and are allowed to tour the place freely.
Their game is simple. Plant Pictionary! An expert (who is funny all on his own) is brought in to guess the drawings that the members create of plants in the greenhouse. They are each allowed 2 minutes to draw as many or as few as they want. All the members go together into the greenhouse and they pass the sketchpad every 2 minutes to a new teammate. In all, there are 6 minutes of drawing time. The expert then guesses what plants they drew and the team with the most correct points wins.
1:01:31- The game begins. 1:05:30- The expert begins trying to guess…poor guy.
Lunch (start of ep 114- 20:57) Inwoo got to play the Omegiteok game for the first time!
Sightseeing Game (20:57 of 114- 1:03:51)
The staff prepared two sightseeing courses for the members to try, one for each team. The first is a relaxing time at a cafe. The second is a speed boat tour of some of the local natural wonders.
To decide who will go to each, they play a game where keywords are attached to their front and back. They go one on one against the other team. When they get a glimpse of the clue, they have to guess the category. Best two out of 3 wins the right to go to the cafe.
40:23 -Sightseeing courses
Dinner Game (1:03:51- 33:28 of 115)
The members are allowed to take a rest in a sauna.
1:11:14- The game begins.The members have to memorize a notoriously difficult and long song’s lyrics while sitting in one of the hot sauna rooms. When they feel confident, they can come out and make an attempt at singing the song. The PD will randomly point to a person on the team to sing each line. The team that memorizes the song first will get a full course oyster dinner. No attempts are made until the start of ep 115.
23:55- Dinner
Sleeping Game (33:28-49:32)
Action Bingo in a Game of Wits. Cones are set up in a 3 x 3 formation. Both teams will send one person at a time from a ‘start’ line to race to the cones and place a beanie on top of one. When one teammate returns, the next can start running. After a team has 3 beanies placed, the first runner will go again, this time to move one of their own team’s beanies. They will continue sending runners to move beanies until one team is able to make a bingo (3 in a row). They play best 2 out of 3.
36:37- Practice Round…Because the guys were having trouble understanding the rules. I love these guys.
38:07- the real game! Kinda. They mess up the rules again and have to try again.
47:38- Sleepy time!
Morning Mission (49:32- end of episode 115)
One representative member of each team will need to raise the temperature of their back. For real…that’s the game. The staff gave them 10 minutes to try to heat up a small circle of their back exposed by a t-shirt with a hole cut out of the back. They can go anywhere in their base camp and use any means to raise the temperature. The winning team gets to go home right away while the losing team has to gut 3 kg of anchovies before they head home. Inwoo is the representative for team YB and Jongmin is the representative for team OB.
The losing team comes up with a game amongst themselves to get off work earlier. They have to in one handful get as close to 550 kg of anchovies as possible. You’ll never guess how this went.
Preview: The members will be doing a 2 vs 2 vs 2 match. We’ll get to see some new chemistry with the new member and more antics from the members we know. Not much was given about the race itself, but I’m still excited!
