BUSSING THAILAND (BUS because of you i shine's travel variety show)

[Wensuelrene]

I'm so very sad to head that the spell check isn't working properly on your machine, but you still powered through to write this question.

As long as the teams were all different, I actually think I would have been fine with it. My fear would be the same teams every single time, which would be super boring, TBH. The best part of the show was seeing the members interact with each other on different teams. We wouldn't have the Cutie, Foreigner, or Actor-lines today if not for being able to see their specific dynamics in the last game.

That was my main issue with a lot of the team games. They should have been keeping track of who had been paired with who across the show to prevent repeats. Jinwook being paired up with Alan twice back to back, and JungT numerous times, while fun because of their dynamics, just meant less variety. Easily the best pairing in the show was the chatoic ThaiChai in the kiyaking challenge because of how rare it is for them to be a duo

Are there any activities you think could have been improved if they'd been switched from individual to team or vice versa?


Yeah, for sure. The photography games should have been strictly team events. Not only was it excruciatingly boring watching 12 people more or less take the same photos for up to an hour for two episodes straight, it just felt like a waste of time that could have been spent doing more interesting things. They should have totally split into teams, decide who will take what photos, and then move on. I don't need to see Jinwook photograph some fish, and then see Marckris photograph the same fish, and then see JungT photograph the same fish two minutes after.

In fact, I agree; every photography event should have been done in teams. It would make way more sense considering they couldn't seem to afford 12 cameras in the first place for it to have been a team event I don't mind them taking photos of duos, trios, individuals, etc., but the event should have still be based on which team cleared the most challenges.

Glad you agree with me unnu Can't wait for future discussion questions to continue dunking on the photo games

Should some teams have been larger/smaller?


Eh, with this, I don't really have any huge feelings about for the most part. I was fine with the basketball game team size, the kayaking one also made sense. I wasn't bothered by the team size for the water park rides, either. Some of the busking/NPC team sizes seemed unnecessarily large. I feel like they could have had two people do it since it was between three and four depending on the event IIRC, and I just remember Nex's team always being not-Nex being the ones talking and then Nex showing up to take the necessary selca and then tapping out until he was needed again. He might have talked more if it was just him and one other person.

I liked the team sizes for the BL drama game, but at the same time, some scenes felt like they would occasionally just be two members acting out a scene and the other two not really doing anything. Which it made sense to have them bigger instead of smaller ones for those scenes which required more actors, but I wish they would have better incorporated all the members into a lot of scenes and we also didn't ever get to see any of them kissing, which I feel was a huge missed opportunity Khunpol and Nex wanted to kiss so bad, CLEARLY, and they never gave it to us. I'm devastated over it.

Really now? Personally, I think the NPC game should have just been 6 v. 6. Just send them each off in opposite directions and let them do their thing. it would also prevented them from overlapping on which NPCs they spoke to which was basically and automatic point deduction anyway

Feel free to add extra feedback as well

I also think PeemThai and Marcalan should have been on the same team more often! I found out too late into the game how Serperior those duos are because of how long it took to see them together

AA, my precious gift from above who can do no wrong,

Why are you throwing guns at me, Duizhang, that is very mean of you

I think the best pairing was Marckris X Camera myself but that was a good second pick

Good, I'm a professional hater of the photo games, seriously can't believe we had like 4 of those and only one basketball game

Well with more members, now even less of them are chatting with the NPCs Isn't that the whole goal? And the problem wasn't repeat NPCs, it was that they actually included the repeats in the final cut for some reason They should have edited the final episodes to not include repeats or to include them super sparingly at worst. There's plenty of people in Thailand that they shouldn't have a problem having groups of 2 not talk to the same people over and over.

I'm getting the feeling you don't like this absolute adorable baby boi and that's criminal

I mean, they could force them all to participate in the conversation. Especially since they have to follow the script of

1. Ask if they know BUS
2. Explain who is BUS once they say no
3. Ask about their life
4. Ask about local southern Thailand stuff
5. Add some general info
6. Ask for photo

Add in extra stuff since in most of the conversations they talked about a few different things and bam, it works!

If you say so~ I still think having six people bum rush you and start asking you kestions about your personal life and wanting a photo is horrifying compared to two people, but what do I knows?
Most of them are on Tenor
