The TNT episode (2025-07-12) was so fun!!!!

I enjoyed last season and this season is great, too!  The cast is fantastic, they get along so well, and they give off such a great vibe.  Surprised at how good and confident DYX is with his English.  And ZXW and SY have so much fun together!!

Just for my own benefit, filming took place from May20 (arrival at airport) to June 9 (closing ceremony).

currently watching

ep0 - great start and introduction to the teams
ep1-2 - exciting games with good drama!!
ep3 - more of the same greatness, with so much fun and laughter - might be my favorite episode!

(The extra episodes are worth watching, too.  They're so much fun.)

Releasing Aug 29!!!!

(For my own reference, recording started on last week of July.)

A slower vibe than the main H!6 show (reminds me a bit of Wonderland).  Has serious/deep talks, and is not full of fun games like H!6. Interesting to see people in a different environment.

When the group of 4 are together, they are hilarious!!  Show feels a bit like a documentary.  They learn about street vendors and try to start up a street market of their own.

(ARP will be a guest!  Recording started in June/July 2025.)

First episode is absolutely hilarious!!

notes to self: recorded in June/July 2025; Lin Yi is a guest (in Madrid and Barcelona, Spain)

currently "watching" (actually skimming); show doesn't seem good at all, very cringe and awkward, humor feels extremely forced, not that funny or entertaining, not well polished/produced, only watch if your favorite stars are on a particular episode otherwise I don't recommend this at all

plan to check out Jun's episodes
