The deathmatch was better, and it has quite a bit of depth as long as the players themselves aren't simple enough to just always go for the win or draw. It was entertaining enough this time around, and I feel it will always be from this point on except perhaps with the actress.
Well, while I'm not so sure if the actress will be last, I think she will be picked for the deathmatch... Or ah young. But they don't pose as big of a threat to others. This time around neither was picked even tho they could have been, especially the actress. So we never know.
I really like hyunmin and dongmin tho. They are both quite clearly people I'd call genius.

My guts are telling me that Hyunmin will get betrayed by everyone and get eliminated this ep. I just feel like Hyunmin, Dongmin, and Yoohyun will fall one by one if the weak players get together and make an alliance. As much as I love those 3 strong players, it is really hard for them to not being targeted after showing how good they are in this game.

This season is shaping up to be really good. Been enjoying the turn arounds lately. Kind of dislike games that has 100% foolproof way of winning but turned out good in the end. The mountain mining game was so good.

+ Show Spoiler +Wow this episode's main match was by far the worst so far. There was absolutely nothing for Dongmin and Hyunmin to do. The 5 man alliance has to be the first thing everyone thinks about when listening to the rules. Major slip up by the production crew.
Deathmatch was interesting, but I'm sad to see Jongbum go. He was a much better player than the 2 girls who are still left. Ahyoung didn't do a single thing since episode one and for some reason she's still around. Hope one of them gets eliminated next round.

+ Show Spoiler + I certainly agree that the 5 man has the advantage here and it seems very very hard to beat the 5 man here. I think you would need to rely on the social aspect/garnets to try and survive if you did end up in the two - It certainly would of been a perfect episode for the 5 man team if the Black Mission had worked! I bet Dongmin was very pleased!
But if you ended up in the eventual 2 man I guess you can try to manipulate the results early to give the bomb to the person on Card 4 instead of 5 ( By doubling up on 2&5) to try and mess with there original strat and allocation of the bombs. If you start messing with them earlier you are more likely to either start making them lose their heads and allocation of numbers or create the potential to start splitting the group with an early 2 bomb.
Also I didn't get a good look at the card backs but with the styling of the cards perhaps there was potential for some Yellow style Clairvoyant reading of card backs to interpret the numbers ? Whilst we do seem to get a lot of games where a majority team can win, these sort of games also seem to create some of the better moments of "Genius".
Anyway - Thanks for the upload and I look forward to the next episode. The game for next week as always looked fun.

Main match is so bad this episode it was over before it began. Death match kind of make up for it. But still, I think this is the worst episode this season so far.

Oh god Hyunmin ! I would have been so mad if Hyunmin lost that death match :s There was a secret on the back of the cards, but it would have been useless in this situation :s

+ Show Spoiler +Jongbum was pretty impressive with his memorization, but the deathmatch was not. Still, glad that dongmin and hyunmin are still on the show. I wonder how the next episodes will play out. Good series but I REALLY hate main matches that can completely shut players down. they're weak IMO.

Fun tidbit: The producers tried to cast Grrrr... for all 3 seasons. For season 1, he wasn't interested. For season 2, + Show Spoiler +his friend won season 1 so he became interested but he wasn't in Korea. For season 3, he didn't have the right visa.
Now he's got the right visa so he might be on season 4.

I wanna try that death match game, it looks super awesome :D

I really hope its one of the girls, to make the games more interesting. On one hand, it's good to keep them because they're not as big of a threat and easy to bring over to your side. On the other hand they SHOULD be easy pickings for any players now, and I doubt the players want to take risks anymore

Personally don't watch The Genius, but I'm surprised Jang Dong Min is in there for as long as he is. On shows he stars/guests in, such as Running Man, Happy Together, and I am a Man, he seems somewhat airheaded, but I guess his quick wit helps out with the show a lot.
|
Dongmins intuition is almost scary thats how good it is. Not only is he still on the show, but he's like one of the 2 favorites to win.

She'll beat either Hyunmin or Dongmin in the semis deathmatch with pure rng luck for maximum salt then proceed to 2-0 the other in the finals.

Looking forward to this episode a lot. I definately hope one of the girls will go out this episode. For some reason, also in the past seasons, the guys seem to be way more interesting than the girls. That being said I hope Yeonjoo can step it up next episode as we haven't seen anything from her thusfar.

New ep is out.

IMO Jang Dongmin is going to go next. I'm probably wrong on this, but he's my least favorite that's left.
