The group seems to be playing a special version of Jenga like they did in previous seasons, where each block have a kind of Truth or Dare prompt on it. It seems like Yun Jae got a dare to hold hands with someone and he chose HyunJun

I am rooting for Min Seong, but someone need to pull him aside to fill him in on the JaeHa situation. Watching him go after Hyeong Jun is like watching a blindfolded man navigate a minefield.

That might not be possible even with the best editing if problematic contestant was part of an end game couple (after all, they never said JaeHa and HyeongJun was the only couple), or part of a love triangle. Like many of the returnees said they missed out on going after HyunJun, like why? Was HyunJun chasing after the problematic contestant? Either way, I can see there being many reason why it is not possible to just edit out that contestant without it being giant mess

I am chalking the Gyeol's comment up as evil editing. You can see Gyeol was smiling and happy after Taichi's talk ended. It is probably the show trying to throw doubt on them so viewers are more tense about their potential relationship

Yeah, the multiple buildings wouldn't be so bad if the shoot happened during summer so they can spend time in the yard or in the pool. That and they can pop over to visit the other buildings much easier. Instead, we have the snow and any visit to another building require putting on multiple layers. Not surprised that most people mostly hang out in their room with their roommates.

I would give Taichi a bit more grace. They got along well when they were roommates, then he either been on Min Seong's date or sick. Considering how listless he looked the next morning, it isn't surprising he wasn't more active.

I don't trust interview segments in reality shows as we don't know the questions they were asked for that response. Especially since they showed HanGyeol smiling and happy after the chat with Taichi.

Yeah, the choice of yoga is just weird especially since Taichi is still ill. A quiet date at a cafe that is nice and warm would have been better for them, especially so they can actually talk and focus on what is between them instead on exercising.

I feel like the simple mailbox, the multiple buildings, the phone call room instead of phone booth is all due to the scramble to reshoot

A month would be great, but it is hard to get a cast that can take that much time off to film. You would have a whole bunch of influencers, students, or unemployed guys. Nobody with a steady job can take a month off, especially with Korea's work culture

I don't trust interview segments, as we don't know what questions they were asked to prompt that response. For example, in the most recent Spark Camps gay reality show, one of the end game couple had a interview segment in the pentultimate episode where one of them said the other person is "delulu".

I'm not sure how much to trust that interview segment, considering Han Gyeol was shown smiling and happy after the chat ended

I have doubt about that Han Gyeol interview segment being mad about the short reply. He was clearly smiling and happy after the chat ended. Definitely doesn't seem like a person who is mad. Who knows what question Han Gyeol was asked during the interview segment for that response. Wouldn't be the first time a reality show edited the interview segment to throw doubt on a relationship to make it more tense for the viewers

If they get their happy ending? So you don't want them to get together?

I think the TaichiHanGyeol ship is sinking as well, but it is also hard to blame Taichi not being more active when he is sick. I would never put much stock into comments that comes from interview segments in reality shows. They are often heavily edited based on what the producer wants. Who knows what questions HanGyeol was asked for that response.

Yeah, at this point, I'm not sure if Lee Hyeok Jin wouldn't just prefer being eliminated instead of being stuck there for a few more days of being unwanted by everyone.

I don't think it is entirely unfair to the newcomer. Yes, there is history between them, but it is also clear that for a lot of them, they don't see the other returnees as options, and most of the attention have been focused on the newcomers. That is why the newcomers got all the calls

I wonder how much of these show decisions are due to the scramble to film a new season quickly:
- Having them spread out over multiple building that make it harder for them to interact
- Having a basic stack of mailbox instead of the individual mailboxes
- Having a phone call room instead of the phone booth
- Having triple dates instead of doing 3-4 1-on-1 dates.

My prediction
- Taichi & Han Gyeol
- Jae Ha & Heyong Jun
- Su Min & Soo Wok
- Hyeon Jun & Yun Jae

Still can't believe they only got to be roommates for 1 day. Since there will probably be another room switch mid week, hopefully they get to be roommates again then

I believe S4 is at least 12 episodes, based on the released schedule. It could be even longer than 12 since March's schedule is not out yet.

I thought both triple dates were very awkward. But at least some of them realize who they don't match with now.

Yeah, he seem much more animated when speaking with Taichi than with the other boys
