I was so sure a 2ne1 fan would post this so I didn't prepare at all. The gifs I chose are kind of lame. I'm going to spam this post later.

Jae Suk and Kwang Soo were my favourite part.
The nametag race was really lame.
Not enough of the cast. I understand why but it still annoys me when that happens. Though I'm happy Suk Jin was featured a bit more
Yoon Eun Hye was mentioned again ♥

Hum what else..

[fallingstarryuu.livejournal.com]

boring episode tbh =/ you can really tell when the cast has to pander to the guests a lot

[hearttaek.livejournal.com]

You can clearly see the cast racking their brains out trying to get the girls involved in some plotline or give them some character.
It's usual for jaesuk to do that but you know it's bad when the whole cast tries to get involved.
It was painful and was a huge factor in me not enjoying this episode.

The only good thing to come out of this for me ws KSJ being featured more than usual.

[ceecile.livejournal.com]

You mean Ji Suk Jin? If so I agree. It's almost always what I think of first, How much screen time will he get this time.

[hearttaek.livejournal.com]

Omg dead at my fail. Messed up his name
But yes, he does shine when he tries.

[robalunch.livejournal.com]

It was great. 2ne1 did not overreacted or went overboard and actually participated in the games. They weren't shy about it. Minzy and CL made a good impression. Bom and Dara were funny just being themselves.

[her-historia.livejournal.com]

Love how Gary seems to like strong, smart women ;)

JSJ was totally hilarious when he pushed KJK and SJH in the water. Unpredictable moments are the funniest!

Loved that YJS was getting excited all by himself at times, haha.

[robalunch.livejournal.com]

Bommie

[blue-rin.livejournal.com]

This ep was kinda boring. End bit was the best and I couldn't wait for them to get out of the YG building. JSJ was hilarious this time round too.

[ceecile.livejournal.com]

So I'm getting gifs for next week/the episode that aired today and I so these two. I'm laughing already.

[kingalexarnold.livejournal.com]

omg dying

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

I thought it was a pretty good episode...LOL...the cast did a good job with the forever awkward 2NE1 babies

Minzy...that's a competitive spirit you have there maknae LOL

[walkingparadoxx.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's cuz I'm a blackjack but this ep was so much fun for me, minus the name tag race

[walkingparadoxx.livejournal.com]

I'm glad suk jin finally decided to actively participate, he always brings the lulz when he does

[uglypricetag.livejournal.com]

i liked this ep but it might be the blackjack in me speaking

[mikachanyo.livejournal.com]

This ep was overall boring but the cast's interactions made it tolerable. The water game was the best part and JSJ was hilarious. I hope they have an episode centered around him again one day. Oh I forgot the last game was funny too.

[furcalor.livejournal.com]

Kind of boring episode and the YG pimping was very awkward at times. Minzy was kinda cute though. She could be good at variety with some practise. It's nice to see an athletic female idol on RM.

[chibiyunie.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, don' t really know what to think of this episode. It wasn't bad but it wasn't hilarious either.
It had some shining moments! I loved how they made Bom wear the heavy instrument case and how she was just her dorky self. Minzy absolutely made this episode for me, she was so active and involved that it feels like this is more her kind of Variety.

The games were pretty boring. The first game was just lame and the girls got eliminated way too fast and too soon. The second game was the most fun but slightly predictable nonetheless. The quest in the YG Building was pretty lame too, though I loved seeing just a glimpse of Lee Hi and Akdong Musician. The fourth game - besides the funny part with Kwangsoo actually blocking KJK in getting the water in - was lame and could have been made much more complicated and fun, even a good old tag ripping game would have sufficed.

I won't complain about my 2NE1 babies since they have no experience in variety whatsoever (side-eying you YG) and I see their participation in this show as a good step forward and hope it paves the way for them to do more. CL seemed mostly awkward with everything, lol. The cast - as usual - made this episode for me <3

[robalunch.livejournal.com]

Did you actually watched the episode or you are just judging by the clips. She win the second game all by herself.

[robalunch.livejournal.com]

In the first there wasn't much to be done. In the second one, she literally solved all the clues of the game. She ended up being one of the last two in the water game for one of the rounds actually. I think she was far from useless :)

[modestgoddess79.livejournal.com]

I only liked the push each other off into the water game and Jae Suk/Kwang Soo dancing. Minzy was good, I think she should come back by herself.

[markthatcoin.livejournal.com]

Minzy was a beast, i adored the episode, haters gonna hate, etc

[robalunch.livejournal.com]

It's only here bb(as expected) they received raved reviews in Korea :).

[ceecile.livejournal.com]

Lol Please.

[markthatcoin.livejournal.com]

lol tbh I left my comment on the screen that doesn't show any other comments and immediately peaced out of the post ^_^ good for them though <3

[stephantasm.livejournal.com]

nope

[yolleh.livejournal.com]

The episode overall was boring but Minzy slayed and that's all I could ever ask for so yeah.

[lilmissniza.livejournal.com]

the girls, as expected, were really awkward and the games were sorta boring. but i love those little hilarious moments when JSJ tried to be the 'hero' during the water game and LKS was just epic in the last game when he tried blocking the water. wished the name tag race was much longer and the main focus of the episode. but as i spazzed before, Minzy should definitely do more of those vigorous reality shows cos girl really is a female warrior. i wish the girls would loosen up and interact more with the cast members

[dirtybeauty.livejournal.com]

Boring episode. YG promoting himself over and over. Too awkward. Hopefully people did not hype on tumblr saying how well CL and Gary match and how the should do a collaboration and all... I've been avoiding tumblr for that.

I loved Minzy though (and Sukjin was so hillarious trying to beat her), she was really active, not only in the water game, which was a bit boring to me, but in the last game. Loved Bom in the last part as well.

And btw, why are we forgetting about new Lee Kwangsoo friend? He made the whole episode worth watching only with that.


Anyways, I feel like Minzy should be guesting alone. She seemed to enjoy the game and everything would be less 'delicated'.

[luvey.livejournal.com]

my admiration for Minzy went up even higher after this episode. She and Bom should be on Running Man more often.

Dara was cute but, maybe it was editing, i didn't realize she was there half the time.

CL...i have nothing against her, but Running Man isn't really her game. CL goes into the "Yawn Box" with Sulli when it comes to Running Man.

And this is the first time i noticed that 2NE1 (besides Minzy) can dance without choreography ...my eyes were open.

[rawbabyoctopus.livejournal.com]

I was really surprised at how much I love Minzy and Bom, I agree both of them should come to Running Man again in the future, especially Minzy

[millie (from livejournal.com)]

Yoo Hyuk is my dancing inspiration. I really enjoyed Minzy in this episode. She did a great job.

[sayuai.livejournal.com]

I agree that it wasn't the best episode. The blatant promotion for YG was not a good look rme. Dara was cute tho with her alien hair en Minzy en CL surprised me (Minzy strength-wise and CL with the quick solving of the puzzles). I loled when Gary went I'm your fan now or something like that.

[dysphoriia.livejournal.com]

ia the yg building and hayi/akmu was so unnecessary, but perhaps i had prepared myself for this episode to be terrible, i actually really enjoyed it. sukjin was fantastic, i'm so glad he got more screen time. minji was the star. so happy she tried her best. not understanding the boring sentiments.

[chukachukachoo.livejournal.com]

I enjoyed this episode but I'm also a 2ne1 fan and have never watched a full episode of Running Man (i always get bored after like the 2nd part). But I liked that Minji got to shine, Bom and Dara were their weird selves, and CL solved all the puzzles. The parts advertising YG artists was meh and I could have done without Taeyang.

This episode was well received by knetizens and that's really what i was worried about in the first place.

[rawbabyoctopus.livejournal.com]

This episode turned out better than expected, but it was because of the RM casts themselves more than the girls save for Minzy and Bom who were really active.

Sandara was cute but she's too quiet. CL was a yawn to watch. I though she'd be tough but she screams too much, lol.

I died everytime Kwangsoo and Jaesuk starts "dancing".

[bleuvelvet.livejournal.com]

Aw I liked this ep. I haven't watched Running Man in a while and parts of this killed me. The Suk Jin/Minzy battle had me cackling. Same with Jaesuk's dancing. It did get kinda boring when they got to the YG building though and Taeyang p much brought nothing to the episode.

[neen-chan.livejournal.com]

Am not a huge fan of 2ne1, but omfg Minzy was really amazing. Bom cracked me up when she was scolding Gwag Soo xD

It was a nice epi, but the lack of Song Jihyo was sad :c Gary and HaHa didn't show up as much as I hoped, or is that am greedy to see them? -shurgs-

[ceecile.livejournal.com]

No it was mostly the pink team. I'm guessing Dara&CL didn't deliver.

[neen-chan.livejournal.com]

Really wished they shown more. The green team was just like poof in the middle of things, I didn't even see the car scene with them. I know that they probably looked normal and comfortable but would have been nice to see a glance of them :/

[lucyownsjoaquin.livejournal.com]

jaesuk's dancing was the best. also minzy should come out more!

[allisnotlost.livejournal.com]

bahahah the gifs are glorious! cant wait to watch.

also LOL at YEH getting dethroned as strongest woman and then KJK getting mad!

[rainbwoo.livejournal.com]

i actually really enjoyed this episode. have only seen a few eps of 2ne1 tv(?) and that's pretty much it, so i don't really know how they're like in variety shows. minzy impressed me a lot, i hope she gets to be on variety shows more! bom is really pretty and cl actually gives out different vibes on and off stage. dara worried me a lot during the nametag race. she looked so tiny and fragile and jaesuk could easily lift her up by her arm O__O

[sub-divided.livejournal.com]

As a 2NE1 fan, I'm happy with this episode XD.

To everyone saying CL was useless, she came up with the idea to use towels to mop up extra water, and was thus was the source of the most hilarious scenes in the episode.

But yeah too much YG self-promo and there's really no way to make solving puzzles fun to watch, other than by having the audience solve them too.

[sjtaazrz.livejournal.com]

The episode was alright. Minzy was the best and even when she wasn't being athletic she was great. Like that moment when Gwangsoo was on the tanks and she says "You can endure it oppa, fighting!" girl is adorable.

Bom had a few snarky moments, CL got to show off her brains, and it's a good thing dara wore her hair like that because it was the one dimension she had.


BUT SERIOUSLY GUYS, can we have a moment to be thankful to taeyang for not being absolutely cringe-worthy in this episode? I'm sure YG or someone made he join a team, but I was expecting to roll my eyes the entire time. He was pretty low key so Hallelujah for that.

[https://users.livejournal.com/graffiti--/]

didn't really like the games in this one but tbh i don't love RM when they have idol guests. I LOVED bom n minzy tho so i enjoyed it despite everything

[halfdressedliar.livejournal.com]

I was so surprised with Minzy! I know Dara always says she wants to go on variety more, but they should send Minzy.
