I have never heard of this show. After googling it and deciding it seemed interesting, I started watching S4E1 in your link. As the 5th player was coming onto the set, I wondered 'wouldn't it be cool if it was Boxer?'. And sure enough...the Emperor walks out. What a coincidence! | ||

And sure enough...the Emperor walks out. What a coincidence! It's basically an all-stars season of the Genius, so they're bringing back old players. Boxer was in season 2 while Yellow was in season 1 and 2 Definitely check out the older episodes when you get a chance! | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Really fantastic episode, especially on the heels of losing Sangmin. A great twist at the end with Hyunmin losing completely in the main match and Yeonseung winning (with help from Junseok). Hopefully this episode will give people assurances that even without Sangmin, there's enough solid characters to keep the Genius interesting. | ||

+ Show Spoiler [Episode 4] + After they controlled most of the main matches last season, I'd love to see Hyunmin and Dongmin lose more. They won't lose in death matches anyway. Season 2 cast wiped out, as if more confirmation that it's the worst season is needed. | ||

As for episode 4, I think it was boring. I thought to myself too that just two people can screw over everyone else, and it was so easy that multiple groups thought of it. The game didn't have enough solid strategies, unlike the previous one with trap door boxes etc. Kinda failure from game designers imo. Still, it was nice to see some character from other players too. Obviously they'd be stupid to just try to score middle ground and risk losing. | ||

I would make an analogy to tennis. What separates laymen from professionals is that most of the points won by laymen are from their opponents' errors, whereas most of the points won by professionals are won by hitting brilliants shots that are out of reach. So most amateur matches are decided by who made the most errors and is thus the worse player, as opposed to pros where matches are decided by who can make more excellent shots and is thus the better player. This last episode was pretty good because it added an extra layer of a cat and mouse game with a twist of not knowing who is the hunter and who is the hunted, but overall it was pretty poor strategy based more on exploiting other people's errors than finding a brilliant solution to win the game. + Show Spoiler + The main winning strategy was basically just finding a patsy to give up points. It was cool to see that Yeonseung had snookered Hyunmin from the very start, so that Hyunmin thought Yeonseung was the sucker of the group but it was actually him. The only positive for Hyunmin is the way he bounced back from adversity in the death match, showing a stronger mentality than in the season 3 finals where he melted down after making an error born of overconfidence. I was rooting for Jinho (Yellow) but he seems to be really bad at the social games and manipulating others, which seems to be the focus of this season. He also seems to have blind spots against the wild cards like Kyunghoon, Junseok, and Yeonseung. | ||

Both Jungmoon and Kyungran have been getting a lot of criticism based on this past weeks game but it was heavily stacked against them to begin with. Anyone who has ever played a live game of mafia knows how hard it is to be mafia for an hour long game let alone the 3 hours they typically have for one main match on the genius. Even if she kept the Pi numbers to herself or somehow manipulated the Pi numbers, it's more than likely the Rebels still get found out by Dongmin | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Kyunghoon is ridiculous. Didn't really like him at first, but man, he adds so much to the show it's fantastic. I'm also enjoying Dongmin's evil mastermind shenanigans going on, but I feel like it's gonna bite him in the ass soon. Also hopefully Hyunmin gets some more time to shine. | ||
