The first appearance of the Auction format which I find really fun. Forcing players to make spur-of-the-moment decisions besides having an overall strategy raises the stakes and makes for an entertaining watch imo. I like Eunji because she always played hard while having a fun spirit with an occasional dose of recklessness. I was sad to see her go, but all the remaining players are pretty solid so it should be an interesting ending stretch.

I think the alternating strategy for the DM would work because it would identify which letter Kyungran is. If only 1 letter gave you 2 correct then 2 incorrect, then Eunji would be sure which letter Kyungran is and can operate with complete information. If Sunggyu and Sangmin kept doing alternate signs, Eunji could figure it out within 2-3 rounds. However, since Jinho has 2 people helping him it would come to luck. Eunji would be at a disadvantage having to take a few rounds to know which letter is Kyungran.

A solid main match with some hidden complexity and a fun watch overall. They're still figuring out the issues with the death matches in the first season so it isn't as compelling but Indian Poker is still fun. I remember the top 4 in order so I knew who was going to get eliminated but it didn't take away from my enjoyment.
