And the fight is about to start. Who will survive the night?

Jin-ho is just playing with them.

So many islands…..

It really was a blood bath. Jin-ho was particularly cold, with the way he broke that guy's neck. At the beginning of the episode I thought that perhaps he was going soft, but well... no, he's not.

Last episode I wrote that the fact that the players could vote after each game was a way for the people in charge to feel "virtuous", but I now I realize that it was probably meant to cause problems and tensions between the two factions. 

I'm glad most of the games are new. This one was very intense!

Welp it's riot time.  In-Ho is just relishing every beat of this.  He deliberately pressed X just to push a second vote, which he knew would lead to the riot.  Don't really know why it took the fork reveal for Gi-Hun to realize what was going to happen.  He hinted in the previous episode that players would start killing one another.

Awwww Young-Mi is our first to fall in players we've gotten invested in.  Poor Hyun-Ju.  Unfortunately Crypto bro was likely correct that going back for her would have been all their deaths.

I know Thanos is our breakout villain of the season but Player 100 truly is the worst.  Old man loses 10 billion won, bitches that not enough people are dying then taunts Team X wishing for their deaths. Even though he lost more money than anyone he's the most entitled little shit. What a jerk off. I will cheer his comeuppance loudly.  Not a fan of Shaman the Batshit either, Han Mi-Nyeo would have wiped the floor with her.

Jung-Bae, TELL THEM.  You're gonna get killed before revealing the truth I worry.

How famous is Thanos meant to be? Wouldn't his disappearance from the outside world raise some attention?

I would have been a lot more affected by Young-Mi's death if I'd only realised sooner that she and the pregnant woman were two different people.
