Ep 12 - unsanitary, unsanitary

[TheBo]

So, a guy stabs himself in the leg and then just keeps cutting the meat with the same knife? What? And he's bleeding all over the floor and they just let him? Somehow, I don't think so. Also, wouldn't he bleed to death in half an hour?

I know you don't think the commentary is very interesting, Ken, but I rather like their delivery. Also, it looks and sounds rather a lot like any other Korean talkshow I've seen on TV. But Jin-soo doesn't seem to be a very good reporter. She's openly cheering for one of the contestants, and she keeps criticizing people at Un Ahm Jung, how is that unbiased?

I do have to say I really like when they get the three old guys together. I guess we had to pay for their too-short scene with that idiotic sequence of two people lost on a large mountain actually able to find each other with no idea where the other one is. Sing louder, indeed.

Heh, heh, we reacted pretty much the same way. And let's see, because his hand injury was so bad, the one guy stabbed himself in the leg, but got a perfect score! Sure!

It's not that I think their commentary is uninteresting - the reporters were shown to be bumbling right from the start, dropping their notes, telling each other to look at the camera, etc., that it was hard to believe that they were called back. The way this show is going right now, that seems pretty minor! ::)By the time last episode ended, I was sort of hoping that Jinsoo's singing on the mountain would attract some wolves, but that would have been too much to ask for!

;D I must be terribly DENSE because I just do not understand how Mr. Gamg stabbed himself in the leg and also his hand??? What did I miss? I even watched it again on mysoju and still could not make out any action of his dropping the knife and stabbing himself.

As to the singing on the Mountain, actually that IS a good way for a lost person to be found - although unless you have a set of lungs like an opera star, I don't know just how far your voice would travel. It would HELP to scare away most four legged predators though. That's NOT a comment about her singing LOL . ..

I got the impression that Mr. Gang hurt his hand (or was hurt by that sneaky chef from Unahmjung) in the previous episode that I haven't seen. Then his knife slipped off the side of beef and jammed into his leg during the contest. There's something about the way Gang wouldn't explain how he hurt his hand, and how the squirrelly guy was looking twitchy.

How on earth did the Jinsoo find that mountain anyway? The chef had a map, and he was having a hard time. She came in a taxi, after what directions? Ay!

Actually, I don't mind some of the improbable things, but I hate it when someone is cruel or gets away with something sneaky. Also when someone should tell the truth instead of taking the blame for something. Do we have a teeth-grinding emoticon?

OT: The lady manager of UAJ is looking thinner in every episode. I hope she's okay.

Whoa! Snarky! LOL.

Okay, the reason Mr. Gang hurt his hand is the "sneaky chef" came to his store and asked for a meal, as if he wanted to talk civilly. Mr. Gang served him, and it of course included soju. At some point during the meal, the sneaky chef manufactured a hissy fit and threw the table over, surprising Mr. Gang, who fell on the floor where his hand landed on a broken piece of the bottle. Naturally, he did not go to the hospital to have this serious injury stitched up, because this is TVland and nobody does anything reasonable. During the competition, he was in so much pain that he stabbed himself in the leg. Uh-huh.

Also, after the sneaky chef (Choi?) walked out of the restaurant after Mr. Gang cut himself, he smiled to himself, as if he had planned to cut the guy up all along. But how?

The reason I found the singing ridiculous, soapy, was not that it is not a good way to be found. It IS, but only if the person has an idea where you might be in the first place. If you are wandering all over the face of a mountain, you are unlikely even to be in the vicinity of the singer.

Ken--attracting some wolves. Hilarious.
