On this sunny summer day, our cast drives into the opening location at a snail’s pace. After taking a beat to tease one another on each other’s fashion choices (though, notably, everyone’s wearin’ a bit of denim today), they wonder about the idol tie-in to today’s theme.
I kinda love how they play along with Jo PD’s pitch that they are the top idols in on this farm and will compete against the city idols. Cue the barrage of today’s guests, introduced to the tune of Kim Gun-mo’s “Wrongful Encounter”: Minho (SHINee); Chansung (2PM);Kang Min-hyuk (CNBLUE); Sunggyu & Hoya (INFINITE); Jin-young (B1A4); and Bora(SISTAR). Phew, did I get everyone?
Oh how cute—the idols break into synchronized line dancing, but the cast can’t stand to see the young’uns ruin a pop classic and show off the actual choreography. LOL, way to date yourselves, you guys.
The cast doesn’t hesitate to tease some returning guests, like Minho’s fiery competitiveness (“He looks innocent at the opening, but he’s a force later!” “He cries when he loses!”) or the insistence that Chansung’s nose is even larger than Big Nose Hyung’s.
Then they note how Min-hyuk is comedienne Song Eun-yi’s favorite (both belong to FNC Entertainment; also, she and Jae-suk are longtime friends) as Jong-kook jokes, “She paid money to join that agency.” Min-hyuk: “How did you know that?”
Sunggyu is determined to impress today, much to the staff’s chucklings. B1A4′s Jin-young has starred in the movie Miss Granny and his bubblegum pink hair has the cast wonder what it’d be like if Gary’s hair was pink, too. As expected, Bora gets the warmest welcome as the only female guest today.
Our two “idol” teams settle for the names City Idols (Doshi Aheedol) vs. Rural Idols (ShigolAheedol), and then Jae-suk names each cast member to each idol counterpart. Sunggyu gets offended at being the Haha of the group, to which Haha’s all, I’m gonna take care of you, so pipe down!
When Jong-kook interjects to say that comparing Hoya to himself will only upset Minho, Jae-suk returns, “Minho’s like me.” No one believes it. Hahaha. And then Jae-suk’s attempt to find a Kwang-soo counterpart ends with: “There isn’t anyone.”
Our two teams will face off in different farm games, where the winning team in each round will be given an advantage useful for their final mission. It sounds like today’s battle is a fight for pride, as the victors will be known as the nation’s idols.
Everyone is apprehensive when they arrive at the muddy field, though the RM cast is much more at home. Jae-suk: “We do this every year! Even a good kid like GD went through this!”
Thus the trash-talking begins, as Haha remarks that the muddied field newbies will be gargling muddy water today. Also, their prettified dyed hair will take a beating: “Remember how GD bleached his hair? This is how.”
Minho is the only rarin’ to go for this first game, and Sunggyu insists that he’s been exercising lately. How long? “Two… no, one month.”
Haha tries to salvage the moment by mentioning that Sunggyu’s known as a fair ping-pong player, only to be met with Sunggyu’s confused reaction. I’m confused, too—are you trying to set him up for a joke? Once Sunggyu realizes his variety hyung is trying to help him out, he quips, “You should have given me something good ”
Back to our game: one player will hurdle over their teammates, grab the flag, and run back first to win it. Looks like long-legged Kwang-soo will go up against agile Minho, but I don’t get why swimming in the field will help our giraffe any.
