Guests: Yeji (Idol of Itzy), Luda (Idol of WJSN), Bibi (Singer), Jeong Junha (comedian) aka MC Minzy (singer)
My Entertainment Score: 7 out 10 laughs
I enjoyed the concept of this show and the games, but I felt that the guests were almost criminally underutilized. I think the three girls said about 15 sentences altogether in the whole show. I was disappointed.
What Happened:
Theme: Golden Ratio Race
Opening/Guest Introductions (start of episode- 10:05)
In spite of how long this is, there wasn’t a show of talents or anything like that. It was just introductions.
Race Explanation (10:05- 11:06)
This week was an individual race. For each mission, the members will be given a keyword. They then have to pick a captain according to that keyword who will choose the order that the members pick a number between 1 and 11 (one number each like a ranking). The PD will pick a number at random. Teams are split based on that number; Numbers 1-7 will be a team if the PD picks 7, for example. At the end of the game, they will draw lots to decide the winner.
First Captain Mission: Slippers with Feet (11:06- 24:17)
This game was essentially musical chairs. The main difference is that when the music ends, instead of taking a seat, they had to get their foot in a slip-on shoe.
First Captain Split (24:17- 22:55)
The keyword is “Quiz”. I’ll put the rankings here and the spilt in the spoilers.
Sechan
Haha
Bibi
MC Minzy
Luda
Seokjin
Jaesuk
Jongkook
Yeji
Somin
Jihyo
First Points Mission: Quiz (22:55- 36:45)
The teams are sent to a room to cram before the quiz in three categories (general knowledge, Chinese idioms, current affairs). There were snacks and other distractions in the study room.
27:14- Quiz begins. Members will face off 1 on 1, but they will be chosen at random. The category will also be chosen randomly. There are only 5 questions, so the first team to 3 wins.
Second Captain Mission/ Split (36:45- 37:49)
The mission was glossed over. It was a mini-shuffleboard type game.
The keyword is “Rapid Response”.
Jongkook
Seokjin
Haha
Yeji
MC Minzy
Bibi
Luda
Sechan
Jaesuk
Jihyo
Somin
Second Mission: White and Blue Flags (37:49- 52:25)
Jaesuk acted as the host for this entire game. One member of each team came forward to play a twist on Simon Says where each member had a blue pad (of chalk) and a white pad (of chalk) on their hands. If Jaesuk asked them to touch the blue pad to their opponent's face, they would end up with blue on their face. Each time they were incorrect, it was minus 1 point. After losing 5 points that person is out.
Third Captain Mission/ Split (52:25- 53:14)
Jaesuk becomes captain. The game isn’t shown at all.
The keyword is “Intuition”.
Jaesuk
Jihyo
Sechan
Bibi
Jongkook

Yeji

MC Minzy
Seokjin
Third Mission: Glass Bridge Game (53:14- 1:23:26)
The idea for this was taken from Squid Game. Teams send out one member at a time. The member will have to cross 13 panels to get to the other side of a bridge. At each step (panel) they can choose the left or right side. One is wood. The other is styrofoam that they will fall through into a foam pit. If they pick correctly, they can keep going. If not, the next team member will start out. The team that makes it farthest on the bridge wins. They give points to members individuals for guessing correctly.
Final Results (1:23:26- end of show)
The members' rankings were determined by the points they had earned thus far and the PD picked one more number to determine who would be a winner and who would face the penalty. The penalty is to dress in costume and dance to each of the guests’ songs for 1 minute.
Preview: Kim Junho (who you might know from 2 days 1 night season 3) joins the guests for what they call “The Rehabilitation Project for the Icon of Misfortune”. Looks like there’s hide and seek in the episode! I hope they’re going back to basics again!
