Chapter 94: Meet The Boys (2)
Grace Choi watched the 3-hour episode with interest, laughing throughout as she watched the shenanigans of the 100 contestants as they tried to make it through the maze within the specified time limit.
The production team did a good job of capturing interesting scenes of the contestants going through the maze and combining them with their audition and showcase performances, and just by watching the clips, Grace easily learned the names of the contestants she didn’t really know and knew a few things about their personalities as they tried to achieve the goal set by the production team.
The score of contestants vs production match overwhelmingly went to the production team since most contestants failed to get through the maze in time, but the scenes of them performing the prompts from the screens, as well as the interactions when groups found each other, tried to decide a path, or panicked while trying to escape the maze, were entertaining.
One of the group escapes that received the most screen time was William Forbes, who almost perfectly navigated the Maze and perfectly completed all the prompts with his group of five people without meeting anybody else.
While he escaped within the given time limit, Grace found it a bit boring, especially because it was so long and there was no real chemistry between him and the people with him.
It was just five long minutes of seeing their profiles and watching William Forbes give instructions to his group.
After that dull point, the fun picked up again, and Grace found herself rooting for the contestants who tried to sabotage the production team by winning while breaking the rules.
Hearing the panicked screams of despair as the staff members tried to contain the cheating contestants, chased after them, or dashed to report it to the PDs before sighing in defeat as the contestants made it out in time, made her really root for those contestants.
She particularly liked Daniel Kim, a Korean participant who, after being allowed to use the restroom by randomly complaining, climbed the walls of a narrow hallway and stuck to the ceiling as if he were a spy until the staff member left, before sneaking like a ninja through the staff pathways to finish the maze in time.
There was also a Brazilian contestant with luscious long hair who somehow sprinted through the whole maze, contorting his body through any gaps he found and eventually making it to the maze exit.
Throughout the whole thing, his long, luscious hair never looked tangled or messed up, and she hoped he would someday share his haircare routine.
