IGot7 Ep 6 Review

This week's episode continues to bring laughter as we watch the members play games again! The episode's theme is 'God of Luck' so the members will go through various games that solely involve winning based off their luck. 

First Game: There are 7 sticks that each member must hit on their head to see which stick is wooden, and which isn't. Very painful experience. Everyone picks a number between 1-7. A few members change with each other and some stay the same, mainly Jr who claimed he had a "feeling". Turns out, his feeling was right. It came down to Mark, Jr and Jackson. Everyone thought Mark would have it but nope, it was Jr. So Jr wins the first round while everyone else painfully hit their heads for no reason haha.

Second Game: This game was to blow candles out with their noses. Of course this is nothing new to the Korean variety world, it's almost like a rite of passage with idols to play this game! This game doesn't really determine their luck, it's to create the organization of how the next game will go. Mark ends up blowing out 6 candles, while Bam Bam and Yugeom come in dead last with none. So, Mark is the first to choose in the next game.

Third Game: This game is also quite simple. The members have to pick a box and sit on it. If they fall through, they lost, therefore only 1 member would have picked the correct box by sitting on it. The winner for this is Yugeom! What's amazing about this is that Yugeom didn't get the opportunity to choose a box since everyone went before him. He luckily got the correct box thanks to everyone else's choosing even though he lost in the 2nd game! AMAZING!

Fourth Game: Also, no stranger to this is the Chicken fight game. The remaining members fight each other to pick their order of how they will go on to the next game.

Fifth Game: Everyone remaining has to eat chicken skewers that are extremely spicy. Some skewers are mild, while some are extremely spicy. Mark, Youngjae and Bam Bam can handle the spicy so they enthusiastically eat the skewers. Jackson and JB unfortunately cannot handle it so they go to the final game to decide who gets the punishment this week.

Final Game: There are two bottles placed on a table that Jackson and JB have to choose from. One bottle contains mist, the other bottle contains black charcoal mist haha. Throughout the entire episode, Jackson and JB would constantly switch with each other in hopes of turning their fate around but that doesn't happen since they are left in the final round. Of course, they switch constantly this time and Jackson ends up with the charcoal lolol.

Good episode!

Roommate Episode 8 Review

We spend the first half of the show watching the members celebrate the World Cup for the Korea vs Russia game.  It seems that the producers mixed in new footage with old to make it seem more current and perhaps bring in more ratings.

It was really nice to see all of South Korea come together for the game, the country is very nationalistic but not in a overly prideful way (like America) and it seriously almost brought tears to my eyes. As we all know, the game ended in a tie.

After that we switch back to old footage of Bom in the Philippines, and Kang Joon and Min Woo going to meet Dong Wook at a photoshoot. While there, I kept noticing that Min Woo has some type of inferiority complex towards Kang Joon. It was evident at first when the show started, but now 8 episodes in, we can really tell that it's bothering him. Kang Joon always gets praise (he's realllllly cute, but he's got the babo image) while Min Woo occasionally get's the Oh yea you're handsome too but Kang Joon...And so at the photoshoot, he kept asking staff members who would they choose between the both of them to shoot a pictorial. And then, at the BBQ party, Min Woo gets jealous of the attention Kang Joon is getting after the announcement of him being a special MC on Inkigayo, he admits to being jealous. After they clean up, he tells Kang Jun that he felt disappointed in him for not introducing his friends to him. He's having to share his blankets with them that his parents personally made so the least Kang Jun could do was introduce his friends. I agree with Min Woo although, if he really felt some type of way about it he should've just introduced himself but in Korea, it's more polite for the younger people introduce themselves first. I think this is petty and that the producers wanted something juicy so they egged this on. Now it's awkward...

We also learn about Ga Yeon and her family situation so it's nice to see that everyone is opening up to each other more. Nana too shares her concerns. Nana and Soo Hyun go out to eat and for basically public recognition. Nana has been receiving numerous negative comments online about her behavior on tv. Nana has always gotten scrutiny but it's even more so now because she is not always respectful towards her seniors. She talks informally to them sometimes. And she can be narcissistic in certain ways. But I do think it's all just her personality. I don't think she intentionally means to act the way she does sometimes, however she does need to reflect. Other than that, I really like Nana, she's pretty and makes things interesting when she's not being rude.

This was a nice episode. They're all getting to know each other well (except So Ra and Seung Woo who don't speak to each other PERIOD). I can tell that the producers are desperate and are putting stuff together to make it interesting. It's nice without the forced lovelines but this can only go so far. Eventually this show will become completely scripted because someone has to win the couple trip (it might honestly just be Se Ho and Dong Wook). Next week they're bringing Baekhyun from EXO bc the producers are DESPERATE FOR RATINGS!
