VIPS

Premise of the game was good. Just some plotholes like why they didnt try to stand on the glass with one foot to see if it would break or not or why they didnt cheat and balance on the beams.

The VIPS are god awful. Their acting is bad and they're there to be satire for the American elite or something? Why didnt they make the VIPS more mysterious or introduce them as psycho's who love seeing people get killed instead of these "humerous" obnoxious characters that ruin the vibe of the entire show.

I dont understand the emphasis on the VIPS either. It wouldve been cool if the players could see them watching them behind glass or something and then have no mention of the VIPS again. The game was engaging enough, the VIPS storyline had no purpose but to annoy the viewer.

When I first heard of VIP it was a super intriguing twist. Maybe i'd get to see Korean elite or some rich foreigners. I was right about the foreigners but holy hell,.. WHO CAST THEM.

The script and their delivery of it was worse than the script for Revenge of the Sith. Some of them tried putting on accents as well but I still can't decide if the stag is supposed to be Russian or French, he seems to blur the accents.

And that gay naked rich guy requesting a blow-job was so weird. It did not fit into the series, at all. I know that the film most likely has a casting staff that is mainly Korean but if they see us in that way I am concerned.

The rest of this episode was absolutely great as always!

What an amazing show ........ until the VIP's appeared.

Id love to know the casting process to bring them into the fold. Its woeful. Every line (and theres a lot of them) was poorly delivered and cringworthy.

I was sitting in awe at the series and keenly looking forward to a 10/10 rating but its just impossible now. Hopefully they arent as prominent in the remaining 2 eps .... Which i suspect they will be.

Thankfully, I was watching with subtitles so I just muted their scenes to not have to listen to their terrible acting. Even with short lines, they still managed to be intolerable.

To follow previous episode was always going to be a tough act to follow, but I have to admit this one does extremely good. The Game is top notch (the resolution of two characters is downright chilling) and what has to say about survival is bloodcurdling. The only thing that tears all apart just a bit: the clunky, cliched VIPS.
