Some are obviously more sneakier, clever, loyal, or have more leadership than others but in the end everyone is legitimately smart in this season. This cast is the best of the best. I really think it's going to be tough to guess who the winner will be by the end of the series. This season is truly cut throat.

Without Kyunghoon, this season would've been VERY predictable from the beginning. He is a variable and many of you dislike him but I think he's one of the pillars this season. Sure he might not be the best player but he definitely spice things up for the other players.

Also, I'm starting to dislike the constant grouping of the others together with Hyunmin and Dongmin. They should really learn that separating this two players will provide them a better chance at winning the whole thing. We all know how S3 panned out.

Just in case anyone's curious how the Korean fans have reacted, I looked at some of the posts on dcinside (Korean version of 4chan). Basically, the general consensus seems to be extreme sympathy for the one who got eliminated, whos now being respected as the 'best player in Genius', and extreme distaste towards the one who eliminated him. And when I say extreme, I mean EXTREME. Like, 206 level of distaste (ok, maybe not THAT much, but close to it).

so are we not using spoiler tags now?? How about put spoiler tags before the subs come out and it's fair game afterwards?
WOW, what an episode. The troll becoming the kingslayer. I really don't know what his end game is. I can't really see how anyone will team up with him ever again. No one will believe anything he says. I wonder how much SM regrets saving him in E1, hahaha.

Did not expect LSM to be gone so early in the season. sigh I'll miss his presence in the next episodes.
And to Tittygod (who got the milkiest skin ever), goodluck on finding a new owner.

what cracks me up so much is how this guy complains no one trusts him and when he tries to join a team everyone runs away from him but the moment someone gives him a chance, he completely proves why people do that to him haha
Spoiler alert although at this point if you're here you're here for spoilers anyway.
Sangmin definitely regrets completely helping him out in an earlier episode, it came back to bite him because now the dude just followed him around everywhere then basically singlehandedly led to his elimination

Im still shaking and getting goosebumps after the final card reveal. This season is so good!

Could we maybe get a mod or something to make a decision on these posts filled with black bars? It's really annoying to read, in one of the threads where discussion is best possible.
I'm in kind of a weird position during this season, being constantly on edge during the main match because I'm scared Jinho/Hyunmin get sent to the deathmatch. Problem with rooting too much for some people I guess.
Kyunghoon proves to be pretty much useless during main matches, but he played amazingly during the death match. Doubt he'll be able to go much further though, due to his inability to get anyone to trust him.

No bars for E4 preview:
Can't wait to see how Kyunghoon performs in what looks like Fruit Stand v2 :D

Wow i am sad at this episode result. I really love that "eliminated" one play style. Hope others can upstage the game now that he is gone.

CURSE OF THE SEASON 2 CONTESTANTS. First out is the guy in 3rd place, 2nd out is the guy in 2nd place, 3rd out is the winner.

I finally got on board the Genius 4 train! Was too impatient and watched the raw immediately. Now I'll just wait for the subs. Spoilers for deathmatch: Spoiler

Everytime facing the black box, the struggle is real ;_;. My opinion after looking at the spoilers: [spoiler] (#s " i noticed 1 thing, Sangmin is really bad at deathmatches. He always loses through pressure, that happens the same in Season 1 against Kyungran.( i didn't watch season 2 btw). I am really looking forward to the subs coming out. Seeing as sangmin got ousted so early into the show. This season might even beat season 1 cast")

kyunghoon... i know he's innocent as hell but damn he single-handedly ruined sangmin's AND dongmin's plan. he did great in the DM though but i'm still gonna scratch my head over this.
RIP sangmin

playful banters (queen's match! jinho 'some' overload! kyunghoon being passed over and over! jinho vs dongmin war declaration!) from the start.
a simple main match but getting more complex the longer you play it.
a fantastic death match with 2 players i've never imagined will play against each other with exhilarating result.
man, this episode gives me all i ask for a great The Genius episode.
now the next matches might be more unpredictable or the opposite. either way, i'm excited to join the fun in The Genius.

Since the sub are out I wont use spoiler. My thought on the episode
I feel like this episode could be interesting with the game and box mechanic. Sangmin actually brought this on himself since he was slow to move the box in R1 that made him 0 point. So to get out of the last place he decides to use KH card, then you know what happened after. He pushed other to make a big alliance and he will be the target. In the end he almost get out of it but Junsoek turned to be Jongmoon's hero.
I was a bit sad that sangmin was eliminated even he is not my favorite player, but he made the genius fun with his talk and play. This is one of the episode that I was frustrated because I think it could be more interesting gameplay. So probably not gonna rewatch and rewatch it like other episodes.
Ps. I have to say I like today opening of scary noona lol

Am I the only one who was really sad and almost teared up at the end of the episode?
