Guests: San (ATEEZ---omg omg omg), Arin (Oh My Girl), and Jin Jihee (actress) **All the guests were born in 1999 to fit the theme***
My Entertainment Score: 10 out of 10 laughs
San was there…I had no choice.
Objectively, it was probably closer to a 7-8. The games were all pretty good and trying to guess the spies was fun.
What Happened:
Theme: Prophets of the End of the Century Race
Opening/Guest Introductions (start of episode- 14:45)
Race Explanation (14:45- 17:56)
There are 2 spies among the group: Nostra and Damus (teehee). These members will have to predict the rankings in each game. In some games it will be advantageous for them to come in last and in some it will be better to win. The teams are randomly chosen before each round.
After each game, the group is able to choose 4 people to check IF Nostra or Damus’s predictions are wrong. The PD will tell them if Nostra or Damus (depending on who was incorrect) is among the chosen 4. At the end of the day there is a vote to pick the 2 members that the group suspects are Nostra and Damus. No matter what (correct or incorrect), those 2 people will get the punishment--I like this concept.
If both Nostra and Damus are caught, the rest of the members get to keep any money they accumulated during the day (cash). If only one is caught, the members can only keep half the money they accumulated. If neither is caught, the members won’t get any cash.
First Mission: Balloon Battle (17:56- 45:07)
Teams:
Sechan, Seokjin, and Somin (WHITE)
San, Arin, Jongkook, Jihyo (BLACK)
Jihee, Haha, Jaesuk (RED)
The teams each have a zone with extra balloons, but they are allowed to move around with balloons on their back. They have nerf guns. The goal is to pop all the balloons in the other team’s home bases. Members can refill their personal balloons from the ones at the base. A team is out when all the balloons at their home base are gone.
To accumulate money, there are bags hidden around the area worth $10 each. Also, each time a member shoots the last (of 5) balloons on someone else, that counts as an additional $10.
22:59- The game begins.
36:10- Results and Nostra/Damus round results.
Bonus Game: Balloon World Cup (45:07- 59:57)
48:03-Arrive at Location/ Game Explanation.
Teams:
Sechan, San, Somin (GREEN)
Haha, Seokjin, Jihyo, Arin (BLUE)
Jaesuk, Jongkook, Jihee (YELLOW)
In an arena area, two members of two teams will battle. They must maintain a hand-hold with their teammate and take turns hitting a balloon up to keep it afloat. The team that fails to receive a hit loses the point. They play three 3-minute rounds so that each team faces both of the others. The winning team overall will get extra ballots to vote on Nostra and Damus at the end of the day.
Jaesuk and Jongkook were kind of trolls in this game, but it was fun to watch.
Second Mission: “Millennium Joys and Sorrows” (59:57- 1:15:53)
...Or, as I like to think of it, “You’re not a Penguin, silly!”...
The teams remain the same. They play two rounds with two members of each team playing at a time. To put it simply, they built a giant incline, covered it with a tarp, and slathered the tarp with something slippery...vaseline maybe? The members had to run up that hill and once at the top, stick their name tag on a board. The first team to have both members’ name tags posted would win.
Round 1: Jongkook and Jihee (YELLOW), San and Sechan (GREEN), Jihyo and Arin (BLUE)
Round 2: Jongkook and Jaesuk (YELLOW), San and Somin (GREEN), Seokjin and Haha (BLUE)
Nostra/Damus Vote aka Final Results (1:15:53- end of episode)
The members vote one by one and are allowed to buy votes for $100 per vote using the money they had accumulated in the game.
The 2 members that get the most votes take the punishment—of sliding down the penguin hill in various directions and poses.
Preview: Sechan’s Birthday special with his variety parents. A beautiful time or a bitter feud of the generations?
