Promising concept but failed in its execution.
I agree with Jae Suk, Jong Kook doesn't fit the water gun. What's fun about it is that it's done in secret. What's the point if you're going to grab the others and forcefully do it? Might as well tear their nametags. Ji Hyo did well in the Angry Virus episode.
I really liked the Sherlock Holmes episode when I first watched it and didn't nearly enjoy it as much when I tried to re-watch it. That's because the fun of the episode is in both the audience and the cast being confused as hell as to what it going on in the 1st part and surprised in the second part when everything is explained. It worked because of the 2 guests acting all suspicious, or so we think. So it didn't work here. Kwang Soo really cannot be a spy.
Everyone knew the powers so again no surprise. I think maybe if the audience didn't know who had what power it might have been better. Ji Hyo's Lol Lols were completely useless just standing there not daring to do anything. She didn't win because of them at all. They could have gotten her some good ones, like Gary had guys who usually act as the guards. And now I want to see Kwang Soo and his Lol Lols ㅋㅋㅋ

lol i agree with everything you wrote.

I think it would've worked better if they'd made some changes. Like slightly different rules for each part. They could've come up with totally different powers to keep the element of surprise. Or did the water gun part during Sherlock, just because no one would've seen that coming. Or something!

I knew Jong Kook would ruin the Holmes segment lol. He always tries to solve everything with brute strength.

Agreed with Jihyo's lollols who were failing to keep up and barely did much work though I actually liked how KS effed up the spy/lupang storyline so bad cos it was remotely funny though I don't like kS that much

I agree with the need for having a proper nametag tearing all versus each other again, just pure rippery. The water gun thing is a bit old so...

SUPER cheesy, but funny nonetheless. I get the need for different concepts, but just run around and rip off the nametags via hide and seek, that's SO much more awesome...lol.

I was hoping for a total redux of the Super Powered episode because that is one of the best ones ever, BUT the episode was highly entertaining as is, so I'm not too bitter.

this episode was unnecessary tbh

This was a really good episode! So funny, I liked the concept though I think this should have been stretched over two episodes.

they should have changed things up more, the cast already knew that one of them had a secret mission. I did enjoy laughing at Kwangso's fail.

Such potential, would have preferred to see this in a 2 part episode. After watching 197 (horrible ddakji battle that lasted for 45 min that was filmed the week itself) I've only affirmed this view. Also hoping for a Battle of the Best III or an individual game episode for 200, though I think it'll probably be the Asian Dream cup one sigh. It's so obvious it's all fillers right now.

On the episode itself, I enjoyed how the stories were linked (the real time game and past game results affecting following game play with big name tags and advantages etc) but way too little time was given at the end. I'd prefer it if they had been more confused like the first part and had more rule changes because the likelihood of them thinking the status quo would be high. Could have also had more past/present mix ups. Doesn't have the mindfuck or finding clue quality in the original 3 episodes. Still really liked it (such a fan now sigh...) as compared to 197 zz
