Honestly so happy Jungmoon's gone. It would've been a real treat if Kyunghoon had actually chosen Kyungran or Jinho though. I find myself oddly rooting for Kyunghoon to win this season lol

[juhli.livejournal.com]

Haha me too! First I was like "nooo, why was he invited to this season?" but now he really proved himself.

[annayism.livejournal.com]

I felt bad when Jungmoon teared up at the end but then I remembered how annoyingly desperate she was during the last few eps. Now this should be exciting... I wouldn't be surprised if the 5 targeted Junseok next

[juhli.livejournal.com]

I have conflicted feelings, like I was annoyed with her last episode but now I feel defensive because all the hate she is getting is too much and I wonder if she would get the same amount of hate if she was male.

[o-o-mai-o-o.livejournal.com]

Cheering for Junseok or Kyunghoon to win it all, especially since Junseok is probably the next target. Tired of Jang Dongmin on the show, I want Kyunghoon to be the one to eliminate him for the lulz.

It felt good when the biggest troll ever Kyunghoon said Jungmoon's name, I was really cheering for him.
I was annoyed, Jinho finally did something but he trusted who he didn't had to haha
Now it's time to say goodbye to Kyungran....I guess an unpopular opinion lol
I am rooting so hard for Kyunghoon and Junseok, I never thought I would root for Kyunghoon, really killed me the part when he said "Sangmin's soul is with me"

[ah-mui.livejournal.com]

The boys protect her a lot but I'm mostly okay with her since she won a death match lol. Dongmin... I have a love-hate relationship with. I don't want him to win again/dominate too much but I like that he's such an unlikely player to begin with, no obvious book smarts but he's a really GOOD player. Out of Junseok and Kyunghoon, I want Kyunghoon to win

It is nice to see the change in confidence in Kyunghoon bcoz if this was an earlier episode I don't think he would have gone to the death match so easily, or willingly.

That said, Jinho was doing something to 'save' Jungmoon but in the end back stabbed her anyway and told everything to Kyunghoon to save his ass. That and all the self-righteousness in this episode made me roll my eyes.

I don't know who I'm rooting for this season, no character has made me incredibly invested in them except maybe Kyunghoon sometimes. But it's still an enjoyable watch.

[steelsigns.livejournal.com]

Maybe I'm biased because I do like Jinho, but it seemed to me less like he wanted to save his ass, but more he was generally frustrated with Jungmoon - in that moment, he must still have been reeling from the betrayal/ridiculousness of Jungmoon's wishy-washy actions, in addition to witnessing how she had acted the past few weeks.

Even the way he said it to Kyunghoon seemed to me like his thought process was more like, "Can we PLEASE just get that girl out of all our ways -.- she shouldn't get away scot free and get to stay another round without any difficulty" rather than "I need to avoid going to the death match". Although I suppose the latter would probably have played a part coz' of course, who wants to go to the death match, right.

That aside, now that you've mentioned it, the self-righteousness was indeed a bit much /:

[ah-mui.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Also she's comparatively an easy player, I'd prefer to get her out of the way and let the stronger ones turn on each other.

[karatefeelings.livejournal.com]

I like Jinho too and I was with him for the most part but while watching it, I didn't get him at the end there with Jungmoon, like what was he doing?! He really put her on the spot and then expected her to be on his side? But I get what you're trying to say though. Ultimately, it was jungmoon's time to go, in fact she had extended her stay a little too long.

[juhli.livejournal.com]

I also don't know why Kyungran and Jinho made it so obvious at the end that "One should take it"...what do they expect Jungmoon to do in that situation? Girl was fucked over no matter what decision she took. (Though a lot of it was her fault, because she couldn't commit herself to one team).

[steelsigns.livejournal.com]

I feed bad for Jungmoon but honestly, how she was in the past few episodes were nagl AT ALL. I do feel she had it coming considering how she was treating everyone else.

I remember commenting a few weeks back about Kyunghoon taking up so much screen time due to his troll antics but he's really enjoyable to watch now that he's actually playing the games and focusing his troll antics on that. I hope he makes it to the top 3 at least!

Jang Dongmin is boring, so I want him gone. Although he does play the games very well. I hope Junseok makes it at least 2 more rounds just to break that alliance apart because I think he had it hard for him since the beginning (being the 'outsider') but his resolve never shook. I may not agree with some of his provocative comments, but I gotta admire him for never giving up.

I never knew Hyunmin could be that desperate until that round that he really wanted to win. He looked a bit ... pathetic? But idk how I'd be like if I entered The Genius tbh. If ever I knew I was going to lose, I'd like to lose with my dignity intact at least. But who knows.

Overall, I hope the experience from the past few weeks makes everyone tougher and more scathing - like what Yoohyun said in his farewell message. Think it'd make for very good tv, looking forward to it!

/this comment is way too long, and I am obviously invested in this show lol/

[juhli.livejournal.com]

I hope the next main match will not be so heavily poitical like a lot of them have been. Those games are Jang Dongmin's forte and I feel like a lot of games are stifled by his presence. It's just "let's gather" and that's it. The players go along with Jang Dongmin's plans, which makes it a predictable game. I need some more twists and turns please! Like the episode where Junseok and Yeonseung had their secret alliance.

And shoutout to Jungmoon and Junseok's binary signals...that was awesome :D
