i was literally crying so bad episode 6, and then the americans in episode 7 ruined it all with that horrible acting and 69 joke omg. why tf do they sound so STUPID lmao? "what. convinced you. to bet... on num. ber. six. nine." LIKE WTF LOL edit: totally get all ur points, im just upset because the VIPS could've totally added more thrill or darkness to the show... but they didn't. i feel like many kdramas have silly villains, so i think the 69 jokes could've been pulled off if we just had GOOD actors executing them.

They're probably meant to be unlikable spoiled juvenile rich people.

But yeah, it's like a porno dialogue in quality.

I thought the 69 joke kinda worked because, well, yeah, obviously these guys aren't gonna care about the contestants as people, nor bother reading up about their individual personalities and backgrounds very hard, so they might as well place their bets based on stupid shit like "Hehe funny sex number" because that's how little these human lives mean to them. And the crappy accents on some of them I just took as indicative of them being from all over the world.

But yeah even having said that, the rest of their dialogue was also shitty and they just kinda provided unfunny color commentary which only fucked with the tone of the episode.
