#020 2009-03-27 Horror in HOUSE II

Review by Choco-late:
They played the horror house game again, they sure likes to scare the didis. But every time they play this they always have something new. The auntie was so funny I think she was fooling around the whole time and making it hard for the didis.

Seriously I think Wang Zi has some luck, this is the second time that he avoided the bursting balloon as he answered two questions correctly. When Ah Jie spelled "cow" I thought it was funny and smart as he put "N16" which means "nui".

#019 2009-03-26 The Help Out Didis Challenge Continued + MFBBT Investigation Unit

Review by Choco-late:
They continued from previous episode. The two guys that Xiao Jie and Wei Lian found doesn't seem that good looking but Xiao Jie's guy was better looking than Wei Lian's guy. It seem like guys in Taiwan must have some other talents because both of them immediately showed beat boxing and breaking.

It's kind of amazing how many people Wei Yu called to the studio, that group is like the famous 12 girls group in China.

The investigate unit part was funny, I guess now they can't lie in the show because they might have a surprise attack them suddenly. Xiao Lu and Li Quan was so funny during the boxing part, Xiao Lu have portrayed himself so weak and it's funny how they kept doing gaming moves.

Wei Lian was so happy when he knew he could dinner with Rong Jia, I can tell as he kept smiling. But it was weird while they were eating the other 3 was sitting behind and interferring their conversation. I laughed at the end when Xiao Lu singing songs to them, he was singing all the "broke up" songs and Wei Lian was irrated by that.

#018 2009-03-25 The Help Out Didis Challenge

Review by Choco-late:
I actually don't really enjoy how they go out and find people or calling a friend to come to the show, it just seem like they just come and they disappear.

But anyways overall it was a pretty fun episode to watch. The two girls Ao Quan and A Wei found, my point of view is Ao Quan's girl he found was more prettier and she's more natural. So it was great that she won over that other girl. Elmo appeared on the show, its been a long time since we all saw him and honestly he did aged a bit.

I'm curious what kind of guy Wei Lian and Xiao Jie will bring back to the studio, Xiao Jie must be so embrassed when he found out that Western guy actually understands Chinese.

Next episode seem to be really good, especially looking forward to Wei Lian's and Rong Jia's dinner.

#017 2009-03-24 MFBBT's Most Desirable Toy Boy

Review by Choco-late:
This is another ranking list episode about who's the most desirable didi for mature age female, I guess they are calculating age between 25 and above (even though Ao Quan and A Ben has already passed that age). The list for this one is kind of unexpected, the first and last is probably not hard to guess but the middle part was pretty hard to guess. The finally ranking is pretty reasonable, that's what I think.

Feel sorry for Xiao Lu who gets last from the two guests' ranking and from the strangers' ranking. I guess he has a lot to work on regarding to his body.

Overall this episode was alright, there was a time where I just want to see the result. It seem like they are doing to much of these at this period of time. Although it's interesting but I want to see some performances, this way we can see what new talents the boys have learned while they were absent on the show for half a year. Also outdoor filming would be interesting as well.

#016 2009-03-23 Extreme High KTV Challenge

Review by Choco-late:
So this episode didn't turn out to be as high as what I expected to be, the preview does tricks audience to look forward to it. Other than A Wei's group singing the first song which was really high the rest was okay. I must say some of the boys have improved their singing so much such as Mao Di who I thought he sang really good just that he doesn't have enough breathe. Li Quan also sang quite good while singing with Mao Di, much better what we used to hear.

The episode ended with A Wei's group being the winner and receive $3000 prize money.

#015 2009-03-20 Ten Methods High School Boys Use To Express Love

Review by Choco-late:
This episode was really entertaining. I guess they know we like these sort of topics of they kept doing these topics. Also the didis seem to enjoy talking about high school things. I really like the short plays that Mao Di and Wei Yu acted, it was cute and funny. I think they filmed that in Zhuang Jing as in the transferring notes part you can see Zhuang Jing's students at the back.

I think A Wei and Wei Lian owned this episode, it seem like ten out of nine of those methods they have done it before. It's interesting to hear what sort of stupid things they did before to attact girl's attention. I love the last part where A Wei started imitating Chen Xiao Dong's MV and how Rong Jia said he didn't go out of tune.

#014 2009-03-19 Continued with Jolin Tsai as Guest.

Review by Choco-late:
Continued with the Jolin episode, this episode was really funny especially the English guessing game. A Wei and his crackup English once again is shown on the show and I couldn't help but to keep laughing.

Okay in this episode I start to think Ah Jie is annoying, his cold jokes are just COLD. Sometimes I just want to skip his part, wonder if he was like that during season 2?

#013 2009-03-18 LOLLIPOP Paparazzi. Jolin Tsai as Guest.

Episode Highlights by Ciaranne:

LOLLIPOP PAPARAZZI GOES AFTER JOLIN TSAI
Lollipop Paparazzi was very excited to be able to interview Jolin Tsai before Circus Paparazzi had a chance to do so! Just before going to meet Jolin, Lollipop excitedly chatted about what they knew about her and her upcoming album. In particular, A-Wei stated that Jolin had a high expectation of herself for performances and made XiaoJie do a 'tight' face to express how strict Jolin is with herself! WangZi added that all the pirouettes she did in her new MV made him dizzy, which cued his fellow members to sing her new single, 'Real Man' together.

LOLLIPOP PAPARAZZI TESTS JOLIN'S EQ
Lollipop believed that an artiste should embody exceptional emotional intelligence. Thus, they tried to see how Jolin would react in a situation, where a fan of hers fainted upon meeting her. Jolin impressed Lollipop by staying calm, and asking somebody nearby to call an ambulance.

Next, they tried to see if Jolin could name them all. Other than mistaking WeiLian for WeiYu (to his horror) and pronouncing XiaoYu's name incorrectly, she was able to remember all the Lollipop members!

JOLIN CHOOSES TO FILM A KISS SCENE WITH A-WEI
Lollipop asked Jolin which member of their group she would most want to have a kiss scene with. AoQuan hilariously boasted that his lips were particularly suitable for kissing. However, Jolin chose A-Wei in the end, and A-Wei explained that this must be because he has Angelina Jolie lips! Unconvinced, AoQuan claimed that A-Wei's lips look more like those of a giant fish!

THE LAST TIME JOLIN HAS SAID 'I LOVE YOU' TO A MAN?
Answer: During Christmastime, 2008! Furthermore, the person whom she said it to replied the same thing! Intrugued by Jolin's resposne, XiaoJie said that Lollipop Paparazzi should store this information away safely in their heads and see if they find any more clues in the future.

PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT
XiaoJie revealed that he has been a back-up dancer for Jolin before and asked if he and her mother was drowning, which one she would save-thus, a kind of symbolic choice between career and family. Jolin honestly answered that she would definitely save her mother. Although Lollipop had already anticipated her response, they asked what would happen to her performance then, if XiaoJie was trying to dance the 'WOOHOO' part and was choking for air in the water! Jolin logically replied that dogs (the type of animal attributed to paparazzi) can naturally paddle.


ONSCREEN/OFFSCREEN PERSONALITY
WeiLian asked Jolin what she believed to be the biggest difference between her onscreen and offscreen personality. Jolin replied that she is a louder person in real life.

Following their interview with Jolin, Lollipop asked if they could look through her bag to see what items she had brought along with her.

Jolin showed them her cosmetics and some earplugs she uses when she wants to take a nap behind-the-scenes, as she is extremely sensitive to sound. Lollipop excitedly played scissors, paper, rock to see who could try on her earplugs and in the end, AoQuan was the lucky winner.

XiaoJie also realised that Jolin had similar style housekeys to Lollipop, so they suspect that they must live very close to each other. WeiLian then wanted to mix up the housekeys so that they would have Jolin's and Jolin's would have theirs! Unfortunately, his plan failed as Jolin had distinctive keyrings with her keys.

To be continued...

Review by Choco-late:
The Lollipop paparazzi is out again! They were really happy and excited when surprise visiting Jolin. I guess this time they didn't hold the camera themselves like the time with Circus. I like the part when they all played rock scissor paper to decide who try on Jolin's earbuds. Once Ao Quan won they all saying things like "that's disgusting" "you're an idol" etc it was really funny.

I reckon the best and most funny part in this episode was when A Wei and Ao Quan dancing "Da Zhang Fu". A Wei was really funny and because his legs were too short so he couldn't do the leg split. Also Ao Quan's movement was so funny, Jolin commented saying he looks ugly doing that.

It seem like Ah Jie has become the didi who get tease the most, Xiao Lu was cute when singing with Jolin he was really shy.

Next episode seeing A Wei speaking English is such a crack up, I can't wait to watch it.

#012 2009-03-17 Most Desirable Didi Discussion II

Review by Choco-late:
This episode was hilarious! This is also the episode that Wei Yu cried for his challenge as we have seen. So this voting was to pick the most un-desirable didi and it ended up that the didis were happy if they didn't lose to Ah Jie.

The first and last was unpredictable. Who would have thought Li Quan would be first and Wei Lian would be last. I also thought Wei Lian would come first while watching it since most didis said he's the Mr. Nice Guy.

There's so much funny comments in this episode which I can't even remember.

#011 2009-03-16 Comedy Boxing King PK + Horror in HOUSE Quiz

Episode Highlights by Ciaranne:
To kick off MoFanBangBangTang’s first Boxing tournament with a physically intense start, XiaoJie was tasked to do twenty Jolin Tsai-style pirouettes in thirty seconds, without letting his raised foot touch the ground. XiaoJie managed well with eleven pirouettes, but as a result of failing this challenge, he was forced by the didis to smell LiQuan’s trainers.

This is the first episode of Season III where RongJia resumes her role of assistant host for the show again. In addition, YeShou also makes his first appearance in the new season, after having fully recovered from acute pneumonia (a mild lung infection).

For the Boxing PK, the didis were divided into two teams: the read team led by RongJia and the blue team led by FanFan.

A balloon was strapped to each side of a didi’s helmet and the aim was to knock them off the opponent’s head. Although only one didi from each team was allowed to compete in the arena at a time, didis from the same team were called up in couples. Therefore, didis can only be eliminated in couples, once all four balloons between the couple have been knocked off their helmets.

The first couple to be called by from RongJia’s red team was XiaoLu and WangZi, and first up from the FanFan’s blue team were XiaoMa and MaoDi.

As team leaders, FanFan and RongJia initiated the traditional taunting of the opposition. FanFan teased RongJia for having her ‘weak, chicken’ younger brother in her team and a disobedient fringe, which still tends to part at her former hairline. In response, RongJia taunted MaoDi for being weak, XiaoMa for having a ‘little, pale face’ and FanFan for having a distorted face.

ROUND 1: WANGZI VS. MAODI
After having been the underdog in his past 18 years of sibling rivalry with WangZi, MaoDi promised to give his elder brother a good thrashing. However, WangZi was not shaken by MaoDi’s bold call and instead claimed that he was ready to go.

WangZi swiftly knocked one balloon off MaoDi. Thus, the blue team temporarily interchanged MaoDi with XiaoMa to go against WangZi.

WANGZI VS. XIAOMA
RongJia encouraged WangZi to use his Taekwondo skills to prove himself as in no way a ‘weak chicken’ against the tougher XiaoMa. However, XiaoMa managed to take out one of WangZi’s balloons. XiaoMa almost succeeded in popping WangZi’s second balloon, but WangZi defended well and ended up knocking off one of XiaoMa’s balloons.

Although WangZi initially wanted to stay on, FanFan mockingly called him Big Man Chiu (Chiu being his surname) and questioned if he could really keep playing. As a result, both teams decided to interchange members, so that WangZi and XiaoMa both received a break.

ROUND 2: XIAOLU VS. MAODI
MaoDi managed to knock both XiaoLu’s balloons off with relative ease.

ROUND 3: WANGZI VS. MAODI
MaoDi finally triumphed over his brother by knocking WangZi’s remaining balloon from his helmet. Therefore, WangZi and XiaoLu were eliminated from the competition, whilst MaoDi and XiaoMa continued to battle it out.

The second couple from RongJia’s red team was LiQuan and A-Wei. A-Wei taunted the blue team for having unintelligent members and claimed that LiQuan and himself were universal conquerors. However, FanFan pointed out that A-Wei’s claim was inaccurate because LiQuan has the reputation of being a dumb little boy. In defence, LiQuan taunted MaoDi for being a dumb loser, who looks like the celebrity Zhang Ming Jing.

ROUND 4: XIAOMA VS. A-WEI
A-Wei seemed to have more fun thrashing about in the jumpy castle rather than seriously fighting. As a result, he ended up assisting XiaoMa in knocking off both his balloons.

ROUND 5: XIAOMA VS. LIQUAN
LiQuan was able to directly whack one of XiaoMa’s balloons so that it popped. In fear, XiaoMa crawled out of the arena.

MAODI VS. LIQUAN
MaoDi spun into LiQuan and knocked off one of his balloons, and then popped his remaining one as well. Consequently, A-Wei and LiQuan were eliminated, whilst XiaoMa and MaoDi remained victorious.

RongJia made WeiLian go crazy by promising to take him out to dinner if he wins. Thus, WeiLian screamed that he would murder the blue team!

RongJia also promised YeShou some lunch if he won, and he also yelled that he would murder XiaoMa and MaoDi!

ROUND 6: XIAOMA VS. WEILIAN
True to his word, WeiLian started to hilariously bash XiaoMa up, with a mad fervour, so that the referee had to blow the whistle several times! WeiLian ended up popping one of XiaoMa’s balloons.

FanFan asked MaoDi whether he was afraid of being eaten alive by the crazy WeiLian. In response, MaoDi bet that he would be finished in three seconds and expressed a need to have some tea first.

WeiLian also decided to interchange with YeShou, as he jokingly claimed that he was finding it difficult to tame his wild emotions and could end up slaughtering someone if he does not get a chance to cool down.

ROUND 7: MAODI VS. YESHOU
MaoDi and YeShou started out lovingly, hugging each other and deciding to attack the referee instead! However, they soon started tackling each other and both lost a balloon each. YeShou ended up swiping MaoDi’s remaining balloon off his helmet.

Whilst exiting the arena, MaoDi jokingly commented that he had been violated with 60kg punches!

ROUND 8: YESHOU VS. XIAOMA
YeShou won quickly in this battle, as XiaoMa’s balloons seemed to easily fall off from his helmet. Consequently, WeiLian and YeShou became the new victors.

FanFan then replaced XiaoMa and MaoDi with HuYa and AhJie.

In effect, WeiLian also had the golden opportunity to bring up his burning desire to punch AhJie (for his annoying habits) ever since the beginning of Season III. AhJie replied by accusing that WeiLian had banned him from talking nonsense but in a moment, he was going to stop WeiLian from talking altogether.

ROUND 9: WEILIAN VS. AHJIE
WeiLian and AhJie used the technique of throwing themselves against the walls of the jumpy castle in order to knock the balloons off the opponent. WeiLian ended up sitting on AhJie and popping his remaining balloon.

However, WeiLian was not able to stop AhJie from crying out that he had lost both his ‘ears’ (being the balloons).

ROUND 10: WEILIAN VS. HUYA
HuYa popped his own first balloon by falling over and then his second by somersaulting into WeiLian’s giant boxing glove!

Therefore, HuYa and AhJie were eliminated and replaced with XiaoJie and WeiYu.
However, FanFan wasn’t particularly confident, as XiaoJie and WeiYu are much skinnier than WeiLian and YeShou.

XiaoJie warned WeiLian and YeShou not to be too complacent just because they were able to eat more rice than himself and WeiYu, because he was going to bash them until they became rice buckets! YeShou made a threat that turned out to be more like a cold joke, telling XiaoJie that he would have to face his fists first.

ROUND 11: YESHOU VS. WEIYU
WeiYu hilariously showed off his fists in front of the camera after being able to pop both of YeShou’s balloons in merely a few seconds.

ROUND 12: WEIYU VS. WEILIAN
However, WeiYu celebrated too soon as he could not win against an uncontrollably crazy WeiLian. WeiLian continued to tackle WeiYu even after both his balloons had been popped!

ROUND 13: WEILIAN VS. XIAOJIE
FanFan promised XiaoJie that if he won, she would treat him to free rent for a month! As this could also benefit the other members of Lollipop, they kept directing WeiLian to just lie down and take XiaoJie’s punches! Despite WangZi’s reminder that WeiLian did also live in FanFan’s apartment after all, WeiLian did not want to give up his ultimate goal of having dinner with RongJia and so he ended up winning against XiaoJie!

At this point, RongJia also decided to bribe WeiLian further to motivate him to win. She accepted WeiLian’s request of a dinner date on the top floor of Taipei 101 and additionally offered to pay for it!

After the elimination of XiaoJie and WeiYu from the blue team, AoQuan and Aben stepped up to compete. As they are the two oldest members of MFBBT, AoQuan stated that the red team should watch out for the power of aged fists!

From the background, LiQuan teased Aben with a rhyme, claiming that his feet will be weak after a few punches and then his back will snap after some more punches.

ROUND 14: YESHOU VS. ABEN
YeShou was able to pop both of Aben’s balloons with one swipe of his giant boxing glove.

ROUND 15: WEILIAN VS. AOQUAN
After a long, crazy struggle, WeiLian triumphed over AoQuan and consequently, WeiLian and YeShou became the champion couple. Thus, FanFan discovered that the power of love was too strong!

However, as everyone wanted to see who the true Boxing King was, WeiLian and YeShou had to fight each other.

FINAL MATCH: WEILIAN VS. YESHOU
A-Wei expressed that it would be very awkward for WeiLian if he didn’t get to have dinner with RongJia now. On the other hand, XiaoLu begged YeShou to rescue his sister from the torment of having dinner with WeiLian!

Unfortunately for RongJia, the power of love was really too strong, and WeiLian was inducted as the first MoFanBangBangTang Boxing King!

The next segment of the episode was called, Horror in HOUSE, as it made the didis face their claustrophobic fears by cooping them up inside a small tank, four at a time, with a giant balloon that could pop any minute.

The didis who were to go inside the tank were determined by FanFan drawing names randomly out of a box. As A-Wei admitted to be severely claustrophobic, the didis kept on chanting for his name to be called out! However, A-Wei was lucky this time.

The first group of four comprised of WangZi, LiQuan, Aben and AoQuan.


Immediately after his name was called out, WangZi hilariously squatted inside the tank without getting his safety glasses and muffler first. Therefore, FanFan asked what WangZi was in such a hurry for.


Horror in HOUSE Quiz One

QUESTION 1: What is Heiren's zodiac sign?
Aben had some trouble hearing but in the end, incorrectly answered, 'Dragon'.

To his teammates' horror, LiQuan took quite some time to calculate the years but then still incorrectly answered, 'Dog'.

AoQuan incorrectly guessed, 'Pig'.

WangZi correctly guessed, 'Snake' the first time around! A Snake himself, WangZi explained that he expected HeiRen to be one cycle (twelve years) older than him.

QUESTION 2: Name the area in Taipei that has the postal code 108?
LiQuan apparently farted in the tank during this question, which affected most of his team members in not being able to think straight! Furthermore, LiQuan started to guess nonsense areas, such as the 'AoQuan Suburb' and then also gave his next turn a pass.

Finally, WangZi guessed the correct answer. As the first person with two questions correct, WangZi was permitted to leave the tank. Therefore, he quickly headed for the tank's exit, whilst his teammates banged against the glass in agony ang begged him not to strand them!

QUESTION 3: Counting from the first episode of Season I MoFanBangBangTang, what episode number would the first episode of Season III be?
Initially, Aben guessed that the episode should be a round number but he soon found that this was not right.

AoQuan was first to get very close to the correct answer, estimating it to be Episode 650 as MFBBT has been airing for almost three years.

Meanwhile, LiQuan kept repeating his answers and not going with the flow of guessing in the 660's. Significantly, when AoQuan and Aben were guessing between 662 and 666, LiQuan randomly called out, '675!', causing much laughter amongst the didis.

At last, after guessing back and forwards with Aben, AoQuan correctly called out, '664'.

LiQuan expressed that he was unable to guess at the present moment because he desperately needed to go to the toilet!

QUESTION 4: Guess the celebrity who is Taiwanese, female, has long hair and is between 20-30 years of age.
LiQuan kept guessing female celebrities with short hair and then exasperately asked FanFan, 'Well, who is it?' when she laughed at his wild guessed.

Unfortunately, the balloon popped before they were able to guess correctly.

Next, another four didis were chosen to play an advanced version of the Horror in HOUSE quiz.

For this game, didis had to wear helmets with pins on the top and give their answers by assembling together placards. Hence, there would be a lot of moving about inside the tank, which would add the additional risk of the didis popping the inflating, giant balloon with the pins on their helmets.

A-Wei was aghast with dread when FanFan finally pulled his name out of the box! Along with A-Wei, XiaoMa, WeiLian and MaoDi were picked to participate in this terrifying game.

XiaoJie and WeiYu were responsible for distributing the placards into the tank and they purposely made the placards hit the balloon before falling to the floor of the tank. Therefore, MaoDi started distressingly screeching, 'Are you guys feeding animals or something?!'

QUESTION 1: How many numbers altogether one on a single lotto ticket?
MaoDi had trouble finding the number placards inside the tank, so he just held up the number 1.

XiaoMa incorrectly answered, '9', which caused A-Wei to jokingly turn his own number 9 placard upside down so it read as a '6'. However both these answers were incorrect.

WeiLian confidently gave the correct answer of 8 numbers on a single lotto ticket.

QUESTION 2: How do you spell God in English?
Only WeiLian seemed to be able to find a placard with the letter G on it. However, he could not find the other letters.

XiaoMa was capable of thinking quickly under pressure, substituting a '9' for the letter 'G' instead.

A-Wei copied XiaoMa with the number 9 for a 'G', and then hilariously folded the letter R to make a 'D'.

MaoDi gave up on finding letters of the alphabet, as he could only gather a 'P' and an 'X'. Therefore, MaoDi just held up the 'X'.

In the end, XiaoMa, A-Wei and WeiLian all passed.

QUESTION 3: What does 4+8+6+7+9 equal?
XiaoMa was about to present the correct answer of '34' when he accidentally burst the balloon with his pin!

A-Wei was so shocked that he had tears streaming down his face, and MaoDi inhaled a lot of the air from inside the balloon.

XiaoMa described the experience as horrifying, and WeiLian added that he had trouble thinking in the tank. For example, WeiLian could clearly spell GOD but it took him a while to get his head around and search for the letters in the tank. In addition, he revealed that MaoDi couldn't even think of how GOD was spelt inside the tank and so he just gave up!

Overall this was a crazy, high energy and funny episode, with participation from pretty much every didi.

Review by Choco-late:
This episode was really funny and seem like the show ended really fast. But this episode also moved really fast as they probably need to spare more time on the games. I find them look really cute with the two balloons on their head. Wei Lian and Yea Shou was crazily fighting just because Rong Jia said she'll treat Yea Shou lunch and have dinner with Wei Lian. I was laughing mad at how Wei Lian reacted.

Next game was played before in the Circus episode. Wang Zi was lucky that he answered both of the questions and was let free. Li Quan was really funny, always saying how he wants to go to the toilet and if he would calm down and think he would've got one question correct. Part 2 of this game was so fun, I can totally see how scared the didis were. Xiao Ma was smart to use the 9 as G when spelling "God". Mao Di was just mucking around inside, he's not even motivated to find the answer.

#010 2009-03-13 WeiYu's Challenge To Correct His Bad Habits

Review by Choco-late:
Wei Yu is the last member from 7Bang for this challenge thing, in the start it seem like Wei Yu is quite relaxed but I'm sure there's parts where Wei Yu worked really hard but didn't show it. I feel like everyone just goes harsh on him otherwise his challenge would be easily completed.

I laughed when A Wei and Wei Lian bullied him but also feel sorry for Wei Yu as it seem like everyone just likes to tease him. My heart ached when I saw him crying and A Ben's words was touching.

So he completed his 4 days work experience as a backstage staff and does this challenge really correct his bad habbits? Who knows...

#009 2009-03-12 Secrets That Didis Have Kept From Their Parents

Episode Highlights by Ciaranne:
Kicking off an energetic and engaging studio episode of MoFanBangBangTang, XiaoMa was tasked to do a magic trick in ten seconds along with the opening dance sequence. As a result, he made a pretty decent effort to transform his Ace card into a Jack of Hearts card at the last second. Nevertheless, the other didis still attacked him with balls and a steam gun, complaining that his trick was very weak.

WeiLian built up the ideal gossipy mood for the didis to share their childhood secrets and scandals by commenting that he really felt the urge to hit AhJie. Thus, WeiLian joked that the intriguing focal point of this episode would be whether he does end up hitting AhJie or not.

A-Wei explained that WeiLian had been irritated by AhJie's frequent conversations with his lunch or anything around him, just to be able to hear his own voice. In particular, AhJie had put together two celebrity's names 'FanFan' and 'BingBing' to name his cold rice, 'Fan BingBing'.

The opening segment of this episode revealed the TEN MOST COMMON SECRETS that the didis have kept from their parents.

Firstly, they discussed various scenarious, where the didis have run away from home.

FanFan was particularly attracted to the glamourous portrayals of running away from home on TV so she tried escaping from home to a park for no particular reason one day. However, later she saw her father actually come out and search for her in his car so she sneaked off home, pretending that she had never been out in the first place, in order to avoid a beating.

XIAOJIE RUNS AWAY AS A TODDLER
To everyone's surprise, XiaoJie claimed that he had run away from home at a tender kindergarten age. XiaoJie explained how when he was little, it was common practice to discipline children by beating them. Once, XiaoJie was caned before his exam as a warning for if he performed badly. However, XiaoJie believed that this was morally incorrect as he had not done anything wrong so he threatened to run away from home. His parents weren't worried as they guessed that he would come home when he was hungry. In the end, XiaoJie really only just stood outside the gate until he was hungry and decided to go back inside to eat.

FanFan added that her mother also used to discipline her with a hanger when she was little. However, her mum denies ever having beaten her now, since it is not the recommended form of discipline any longer.

WangZi cued A-Wei to explain how he had run away from home after having done badly in a test. A-Wei was rather intimidated by his dad, who was very strict, and therefore was too afraid to go home.

WEILIAN IS TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL
WeiLian shared a hilariously random story of how he loved to arrive at school early when he was in junior high. One day, his mother forgot to wake him up at the right time and also packaged his lunch in a china bowl inside an ugly plastic bag when it was terribly uncool for teenagers to walk around carrying plastic bags. This caused WeiLian to throw a tantrum, where he announced that he was not going to attend school any longer. In reply, his mother calmly retorted that she didn't care because WeiLian would soon tire of it and go to school. Consequently, WeiLian really did leave his house and spent a while circling the local park on his bike. Yet, WeiLian eventually bored of it and went back to to school. Although he initially ignored his mother, things returned to normal in the household again within a couple of days.

HUYA AND HIS PIGGY BANK
In addition, HuYa also had a significant story to share about him running away during his primary school years. Since he was little, HuYa had developed an ongoing habit of saving a portion of his pocket money everyday. Unfortunately, one day he didn't receive any pocket money from his parents because he had been disobedient. Enraged, HuYa decided to leave home and try to find work in order to earn some money. As expected, HuYa's attempt to be employed was unsuccessful so he could only return home.

A-WEI'S EMBARASSING HAIRCUT
Moreover, A-Wei recounted another incident where he had escaped home due to the shame of a disastrous haircut. As his household stictly forbade him from growing out his hair, he could only have a very ugly, short replica of Guo Fu Chen's famous centre-part hairstyle. After this haircut disaster, A-Wei cried pitifully in the shower to the extent that his mother thought that it was a cat moaning. Afterwards, A-Wei went to stay at his friend's house without permission, but as he was afraid of getting in trouble, he returned home the same night.

On the other hand, both LiQuan and WeiYu have dared to run away from home over successive nights.

LIQUAN IS BRIBED TO COME HOME
LiQuan recalled that he had accidentally spent too long playing electronic games at his friend's house and was afraid of getting in trouble if he returned home. Therefore, he ended up sleeping on a park bench for one and a half days. However, LiQuan's mother knew that he particurlarly liked this park so she started to search for him there. At first, LiQuan refused to come out from his hiding place, but when his mother added, 'QuanQuan, I bought you some McDonald's!' LiQuan emerged to greet his mother immediately.

WEIYU RUNS AWAY FROM HOME DURING MOFANBANGBANGTANG
In contrast to all the didis, WeiYu had a pretty serious story of running away from home when he had a huge argument with his father, as he didn't approve of WeiYu going on MoFanBangBangTang. Furthermore, WeiYu's father beat him with electric wires until he was injured, which was the last straw for WeiYu. As as result, WeiYu stayed away from home for one whole month. Instead of staying at a responsible didi's house, such as Terry's, WeiYu wandered around alone, with only $1000 pocket money. Thus, after a week, he was broke and could only contact his mother and beg her for help. However, WeiYu cleared up that he had a very strong relationship with his father now, as we have seen in an ErJun episode where he wrote WeiYu a very touching letter.

Next, the didis shared incidents where they had stolen money from their parents.

Once, when XiaoXiang's father was notified that his son had stolen money from him, he came into XiaoXiang's room and just broke down in tears. This disturbed XiaoXiang so much that he never dared to steal money from his parents every again.

On the other hand, FanFan stated that it was the other way around in her household, as her parents would promise her that they would save up her pocket money on her behalf. However, to this day, FanFan does not know the wheareabouts of her pocket money!

LIQUAN'S ROBBERY TECHNIQUES
LiQuan commented on how he had found a trick around being framed for nicking missing money. For example, when his father put about 10 000 plus dollars on the top of his chest of draws, LiQuan would sweep seven or so thousand dollars onto the floor and then just take a couple of the remaining notes. WeiLian added that he had tried this successfully before, as his parents would either not notice that money was missing, or would just suspect some of it had been lost after the pile had been knocked out of place.

A-WEI'S ALIBI
A-Wei announced that he had an even more effective strategy, where he would purposely create an alibi for himself. As he family ran a business at home, things were often scattered everywhere. Thus, he would wait for his sister to find some loose change or object from the floor, and then take out the money he had stolen and pretend that it had come from the floor too.

XIAOJIE IS PUNISHED BY BUDDHA
Furthermore, XiaoJie claimed that he had even stolen money from Buddha before, let alone his parents, which caused everyone to laugh that his lack of chin must be a punishment from Buddha. As his father would often keep loose change next to a statue of Buddha on his chest of drawers, XiaoJie would pray to Buddha to let him take the money and promised that he would return every cent. However, XiaoJie kept taking more and more money without returning any, and was eventually found out and flogged as a punishment!

With all these naughty stories from the didis, FanFan warned any young audiences that might be watching not to imitate the didis as we can always ask our parents directly if we are in need of some money.

The didis also discussed how they used to forge their parent's signatures or how they had made changes to their school reports.

MAODI'S MISERABLE CHILDHOOD
MaoDi shared how he used to be particularly terrified after dinner, when his parents had to inspect and sign his progress report. This was significantly due to the fact that WangZi's report would be reviewed first and WangZi often received much higher grades than MaoDi. Once, when MaoDi's received a mark in the 60's, whilst WangZi got something in the 90's, his mother refused to sign his report, stating that it would have to wait until his father got home to deal with the situation. Therefore, MaoDi stated that he lived very much under a dark cloud when he was young and was often stressed about getting a scolding every evening. In addition, WangZi commented that MaoDi smartened up eventually and started pretending that he had lost his progress report.

ABEN, KING OF SET
On the other hand, Aben used to devise a crafty system, where he made separate progress report books for his parents and his teachers. Consequently, his parents and his teachers never saw the real signature of the other party as he would forge their signatures and then give each party the relevant book to review, where there were forever excellent marks and impressive comments. Although Aben usually received pleasing grades anyway, he prepared this system to avoid having to be dealt with by his father if he ever got a poor mark. This story caused a commotion amongst the didis as they realised that Aben had actually been the King of Set since his childhood!

A-WEI MAKES GOOD USE OF GLUE
A-Wei also sometimes used to forge his father's signature on his progress report but he was caught by his teacher one day, who told him that he must get his father to sign. A-Wei obeyed, but as he was afraid of his father finding out for having forged his signature, he went and glued all the previous pages, where he had forged signatures, together! Furthermore, A-Wei advised that the ideal time to get parents to sign progress reports would just after they were full from dinner, when they felt like dozing off.

WANGZI AND HIS EARLY MORNING PRANK
In response, WangZi argued that a better time for getting parents to sign unsatisfactory progress reports would be at six in the morning when parents would still be sleeping. WangZi added that at this time, children should wake parents up and rush them to sign, by lying that they had overslept and they were going to be very late for school!

Furthermore, XiaoJie added that it would be even more ideal if they juggle the report around in their arms covering all the places where marks were printed, whilst rushing their parents to sign.

AOQUAN CREATIVELY ALTERS HIS GRADES
During primary school, there were four grades, which were 'Jia', 'Yi', 'Bin' and 'Ding', from highest to lowest respectively. AoQuan received a 'Bin' because he often talked during classtime. Therefore, he requested his teacher to change it to 'Ding' instead. This is because the character of 'Ding' can be easily altered to 'Jia'. Similarly, AoQuan added that you can also purposely aim for getting 10% in a test, and then just change it to 100%!

In addition, Aben used to take the even more daring initiative to change his incorrect answers after his test was returned to him, and then tell his teacher that she had accidentally marked his now-correct answer wrong.

FanFan took revenge on HeiRen, who has recently been spilling numerous embarrassing stories about her on HeiSeHui, by sharing with everyone how he had once received a 1%, a 0% and then another 0% across three different tests. This gave a young, cheeky HeiRen to stick the three results pages together and show it to his dad, claiming that he had in fact received '100%'! In effect, HeiRen only got smacked by his dad.

XIAOLU'S CO-OPERATIVE EFFORT
Before writing time in an exam, XiaoLu would hide his paper, pretending that he had not been distributed one. Thus, he could get the examiner to give him another copy. Then, XiaoLu would circulate one of the copies amongst the class so that everyone can share answers and effectively the exam would be a group effort.

The fourth question for the didis to discuss was worded as, 'Have you ever kept the fact that you had a boyfriend/girlfriend a secret from you parents?'

Therefore, XiaoJie jokingly accused that the question was written that way to accomodate Aben!

WEIYU AND HIS LATE NIGHT DATES
WeiYu recalled a time when he didn't tell his dad about having a girlfriend and in that period of time, he often returned home really late because he always took his girlfriend home first. Consequently, his father became suspicious and decided to spy on WeiYu to see what he was up to. Therefore, one night when WeiYu was with his girlfriend, he saw his father drive by on a motorbike givng him a cheeky 'I know where you've been' look!

WANGZI'S SEXUALLY-ORIENTATED EXCUSE
As WangZi's parents often eavesdropped on his phone conversations, he would tell them that the girls he was speaking to were in fact lesbians so there would be no need for them to worry about him dating them.

MAODI'S ROMANTIC TEXT MESSAGE
On the other hand, MaoDi has come dangerously close to having to awkwardly explain to his parents about his girlfriend. Once, in the middle of the night, MaoDi felt like texting his girlfriend to tell her that he couldn't sleep because he was thinking of her. As MaoDi used to have a bad V8 phone that took ages to allow him to select who he wanted to text message, he resulted in accidentally sending the message to his dad instead! Then, just as he wanted to use the bathroom, he also bumped into his dad there. MaoDi's dad questioned who he was texting so late but MaoDi averted answering by saying he was very tired and was off to bed! However, MaoDi got teased by his dad for a long time afterwards.

XIAOJIE AND THE ERA OF EXCHANGING DIARIES
As text messaging wasn't around when XiaoJie was in high school, he instead had to follow the tradition of exchanging diaries with his girlfriend, so that he could read what his girlfriend had to say about him everynight. To prevent his parents from reading it, XiaoJie would graffiti 'I love you's' all over the cover, which would suffice to embarrass them, as he seldom showed warm affection to his parents.

Contrary to the majority of parents, XiaoXiang's mother and father are very technologically proficient, as he has noticed them search for MSN chat transcripts on both his and his brother's computers, in order to be updated on their latest arguments with girlfriends.

The proceeding question required didis to reveal whether they had ever caught their parents 'in the act'.

As most didis didn't want to offend their parents by sharing such private information, and with DuoDuo, who used to unbashingly discuss these kind of topics , not on the show anymore, the didis enthusiastically elected HuYa to be their representative for this question.

HUYU'S AWKWARD CALL FOR PEACE
As HuYa used to sleep in the same room as his parents when he was little, HuYa has managed to catch his parents 'in the act'. However, HuYa innocently thought that they were fighting in bed, and was concerned about this seemingly violent outbreak. Therefore, in the morning, HuYa told his parents that they should make up, as it was not good for them to fight. In response, HuYa's parents awkwardly told him that their relationship is fine and that they will promise not to fight!


Following this short, embarrassing topic, the didis were asked whether they had tricked money out of their parents.

Review by Choco-late:
The boys were very hyper in this episode all wanting to share their experiences when they were young, even Hu Ya who doesn't talk much has said a lot of words in this episode. The only thing I didn't like was there's so much words that was censored, it's kind of annoying to keep hearing those beeping sounds.

It's fun to listen to them talking about things happened when they were young and I it very amusing.

#008 2009-03-11 MFBBT Entertainment News

Review by Choco-late:
Without seeing the boys on MFBBT for a period of time I'm sure a lot of things happened that we didn't know. So this episode was to fulfill our curiosity. First couple of questions was mainly pointed towards Yea Shou as he didn't appear on TV for a long time. So that we know all know what actually happened to him.

I feel that Mao Di likes going against Wang Zi now, like during the part where the news was Ao Quan's wretch was ranked first then Mao Di said someone really cares about this and was pointing towards Wang Zi. But it also shows that their relationship has improved a lot.
I wonder if Hu Ya will get attack by Ah Liang fans after saying those lines. Well... I guess not.

I really like the 1st and 2nd opening dance they did at the end, so long we haven't seen it. Felt sorry for Ah Jie since he was left out while everyone is having fun. Xiao Jie did a mistake during the dance and the other didis was like laughing and smiling at him.

This episode was pretty good just that the news aren't that interesting to me.

#007 2009-03-10 MFBBT's Most Desirable Didi

Review by Choco-late:
I'm starting to find the opening dance is cute, especially when Fafan and Xiao Xiang also does it.

Don't you always find results votes or rankings interesting? Because I do. This episode is so good, all of them get fairly amount the screens except for Hu Ya and Ah Jie as they seem kind of left out until near the end of the show snatching the 12th and 13th place.

It's pretty impossible for the didis to get the same order as the 100 strangers order, as the strangers look more on the looks while the didis knows each other very well. The first VCR where Li Quan said his bottom is chewing gum, it reminds me of Xiao Bing.

For the 100 strangers order, the last 3 places they revealed was so obvious of who's getting first, second and last as it's left with Ah Jie, A Ben and Wang Zi. But A Ben's comment is funny when he said if he's last he'll just joins HSH.

I love this episode I hope they do something like this again.

#006 2009-03-09 AiDaoDi Promotion. Director Huang Zi Jiao, Makiyo and Tracy Chou as guests.

Episode Highlights by Ciaranne:
Debuting director Huang Zi Jiao and actresses Makiyo and Tracy Chou were invited onto MoFanBangBangTang to promote the premiere of AiDaoDi in Taiwan cinemas with all the didis.

This time the short dance segment was combined with one randomly chosen didi challenged to snap a bundle of ten chopsticks into halves.

To be continued...


Review by Choco-late:
Finally an episode where the didis could all participate in the discussion together and most of them get an average amount of screens. The discussion topic was rather interesting as they talked about things related to love and Ah Jie's short movies were funny. Huang Zi Jiao, the director is funny he makes a lot of funny comments and the good thing is he's close with the didis.

With this dicussion we get to know a bit more about the didis love life. I find it weird how Fanfan got so excited about talking picking her nose in the shower but her expression was exetremely funny.

I like this episode, not a bit boring at all and they should keep up being like this as the previous episode I feel like they've been taken over by the guests.

#005 2009-03-06 Circus Paparazzi as guests.

Episode Highlights by Ciaranne:

LOLLIPOP PAPARAZZI INTERROGATES CIRCUS PAPARAZZI
In the prelude to this episode, Lollipop dressed up in blue jumpsuits to become 'Lollipop Paparazzi', a mock impersonation of the zany personalities in Circus Paparazzi. In order to assimilate Circus' DIY approach, where one member of Circus would often be responsible for filming the celebrity interviews (and hence, hardly ever gets the chance of being on TV), Lollipop jokingly appointed XiaoJie as the servant of the group and cued him to hold the camcorder. WangZi also featured as a delinquent, constantly chewing gum in a vulgar fashion.

Lollipop ventured to invade circus backstage, probing them with touchy questions regarding who they thought was the best director in the group, as well as who was the least popular and the most placid in the group.

Furthermore, Lollipop insinuated that Circus secretly wanted to be an idol group like Lollipop with they justification that Xiaoma particularly likes to dress up and pose around.

Significantly, Circus jokingly complained that despite being the first group signed onto Channel [V], they often felt that AndyGe gives MoFanBangBangTang and WoAiHeiSeHui preferential treatment!

In addition, Circus also criticised eason for not being tall enough and causing their group to fail in becoming the next 183 Club in height.

Empathising with the injustice wrought upon Eason, A-Wei pulled Eason along with him, implying that they would just ignore everyone else and depart together to record the rest of the episode in the studio.

MFBBT'S NEW OPENING SEQUENCE... 'GO!'
The studio segment of this episode exhibited, for the first time, MoFanBangBangTang's new opening sequence. For this particular episode, short bursts of choreography was entertwined with a ten second stand-up joke from a randomly selected didi. After being chosen, LiQuan told a cold pun, where he asked the audience, 'What gets easily lost in the mountains?' (In Chinese, the phrase for getting lost is 'mi lu'.) The answer was the Pere David's deer. This species of deer is called 'mi lu' in Chinese and hence is a pun with the phrase for getting lost, 'mi lu'.

AHJIE'S CONNECTION WITH DUODUO
In their initial conversation, the didis had a laugh about AhJie's name resembling DuoDuo's real name, 'He Jie'. Additionally, it was pointed out that AhJie was in fact sitting in the same spot where DuoDuo used to sit. FanFan expressed that the advantage of this uncanny connection to DuoDuo is that Fan Mama would definitely be rooting for Ah Jie at home.

CIRCUS PAPARAZZI IS A SELF-PRODUCED CREATION
After introducing Circus into the studio, FanFan made a surprising comment that Circus aren't gossipy characters behind the scenes but they were just able to don the correct personalities for their Paparazzi show very well . It was also revealed that Circus Paparazzi had wanted to construct the show themselves, so they are actually in charge of everything from film editing to directing.

CIRCUS' MOTHERS ARE FANS OF THE SHOW
WeiYu asked Circus whether they got into trouble with their mothers for doing such a controversial (and seemingly junky) show. However, Circus expressed that their mothers have gradually become their fans and have even advised Circus to go further and turn it into a celebrity dating show!

MOST UNCO-OPERATIVE CELEBRITY INTERVIEWED BY CIRCUS
Furthermore, AoQuan wondered which celebrity they had found to be the most unco-operative. Circus picked Chen Shan Yu, who had specifically refused to sing along with their signature jingle, complaining that it was a very 'low class' activity.

LOLLIPOP VS. FAHRENHEIT!
Now that Circus had followed both Lollipop and Fahrenheit for their show, XiaoJie was curious about Circus' opinion of both groups and whether they found one group to be better than the other. Circus jokingly replied that Fahrenheit was more fun, which caused AoQuan to threateningly chase them away.

FANFAN VS. CIRCUS!
Next, a private vote was cast among the didis to whether they found FanFan or Circus to be a better interviewer. Naturally, all the didis voted for FanFan, but WeiYu was falsely accused by the other didis for voting for Circus, in order to provoke FanFan to yell at him.

The next part of the episode featured a game where Circus firstly had to answer four questions while cooped up in a glass tank with a giant inflating balloon that could pop any second.

QUIZ TIME FOR CIRCUS
Under the immense stress of a looming balloon explosion, Circus couldn't think straight and kept repeating or responding to questions like 'Who in MFBBT has completed army training' with random answers, such as 'DaYa!' (Is she even in BangBangTang?!), AndyGe and LiQuan (he has only just turned 18, man!)

The other questions involved guessing dates, like WangZi's birthday (April 14), the weight of a dumb-bell (415 grams FYI) and the total number of American presidents (44 FYI) that have been elected in history. In the end, everyone discovered that it had been Leo who had been answering all the questions correctly. Thus, they encouraged him to strand his group members and see how they would perform without his help. Fortunately, the balloon did not pop for Circus.

QUIZ TIME FOR THE DIDIS
Following Circus, the names of the four didis: Aben, XiaoJie, MaoDi and Huya, were respectivelydrawn out of a box to play this game. However, they made the rules tougher this time, with the first didi who answers two questions correctly to be allowed out of the tank and for it to be compulsory that they would have to keep taking turns to individually answer the question until someone gets it correct.

Assuming that the didis wouldn't know very much about new sanjun member AhJie, The first question posed to them was: 'What is AhJie's star sign?' However, MaoDi answered correctly that it was Capricorn after being giving the clue that AhJie had the same starsign as Jay Chou.

The next question was to guess the price of an Oris Watch (which was valued at the obsure price of $26 400) and gradually XiaoJie estimated the price correctly.

XiaoJie was finally released from the tank when he answered a second question correctly, which was 'In which state does the Mississippi river begin?', as he followed the NBA and knew that the Minnesota Timberwolves was a prominent team.

Next, MaoDi also answered another question correctly, guessing that Eason's birthday was on December 20. However, as he was not the first person to get two questions correct, MaoDi was not allowed out of the tank.

ABEN'S RECURRING INJURIES
The balloon finally popped when the three boys had trouble guessing a particular female celebrity who was between 30 and 40 years of age. Aben got a trememdous shock, as the balloon burst right behind his head, and caused him to reel over and bump into the glass. Moreover, HuYa also teared up in fright.

Therefore, the episode concluded with the amusing realisation, on FanFan's part, that it had been yet another MFBBT activity that Aben had been injured in, for him to add to his tally!

Review by Choco-late:
To me this is probably the first real episode of MFBBT (in studio) as they have the opening dance which I find it funny and they have a new thing where they pick one didi to say a joke.

The start where Lollipop imitated Circus Paparazzi was hilarious, it really shows how good their relationship are. The talk between them was interesting and they just tease each other. I still think the didis are not used to recording as they seem pretty quiet while Fanfan did all the talking.

I hope the next episode the didis will talk more.

#004 2009-03-05 The Quest Around Taiwan

Episode Highlights by Ciaranne:
Three groups, consisting of three members each, went head-to-head to complete their own quest in the fastest time possible, which would additionally lead them all over Taiwan. As a result, audiences were given a taste of the fascinating and the unbelievable in this culturally rich nation.

The three groups were assembled as follows:



  • WangZi's group (WangZi, MaoDi and LiQuan)
  • XiaoJie's group (XiaoJie, XiaoLu and AhJie)
  • WeiYu's group (WeiYu, XiaoMa and HuYa)

All three groups drew out from a box the theme and exact details of their quest. Consequently, WangZi's group were ordered to find a pig who could calculate, whilst XiaoJie's group had to search for a female shopkeeper who could swallow fire and who had a very strong torso region.

On the other hand, WeiYu's group was required to take a photo with every female, who satisfied a particular category demanded by a long list, until they had found relevant people for every single category.

The categories of females set for WeiYu's group to find were purposely designed to make it very embarrassing for them to request the females to expose.

A particularly revealing category to befit was to find a girl who had a B bra cup size. As a rumoured professional in the field of Picking Up Girls, WeiYu reluctantly led the interrogation of several passers-by. In response, WeiYu tiptoed around the sensitive question, using actions and asking what number they girls 'were' from A to Z.



After a few failed attempts, with girls claiming to be a bra size of C, WeiYu jokingly commented to XiaoMa that girls in this current generation were developing all too well during puberty!



Meanwhile, WangZi's group swiftly located the area that actually kept a calculating pig, with the aid of the internet.

LiQuan was cued to call an information booth and was teased for accidentally asking, 'Are you familiar with a pig who can calculate?', when he had meant to ask whether they knew about such a pig. Hence, LiQuan's logic was put into question: Does he really think humans get to know pigs by, perhaps, chatting with them over coffee?



After having no luck from asking local shops whether they had a shopkeeper with fire-eating talents, XiaoJie's group reached the ingenious decision to get R-One, a Channel [V] crew member, to phone his contacts for some more information. It was discovered that the lady they had been looking for had indeed previously been a guest on another TV show and XiaoJie's group was able to locate her shop's address.



By this time WangZi's group had arrived in the correct area to find the pig. Although the streets were deserted as it was still school hours (though MaoDi was convinced that he could see all of LiQuan's fans), they stumbled upon a real-estate agency, who gave them some detailed directions.



After having a bit of fun on two panda carts at the entrance of the intelligent pig's abode, WangZi's group spotted the pig pen. Remarkably, the pig could truly do arithmetic, by pressing on a tap the correct amount of times that equated to the answer of the questions asked, such as 2x3 and 4x2. Pleasantly surprised, WangZi joked that the pig was better at math than MaoDi! Furthermore, the pig could open and lock the gate to its own pen and also enjoyed drinking beer.



Finally, XiaoJie's group found the amazing fire-eating shopkeeper with an iron torso, and they asked her to demonstrate her tricks for them.



In the end, WangZi's group arrived back to the studios first, thus winning the competition. However, XiaoJie's group, who came in second, expressed that their primary concern was to make the episode as entertaining as possible. As a result, the two groups agreed to prank WeiYu into thinking that his group had come second. LiQuan rang WeiYu, lying to him that XiaoJie's group hadn't arrived yet so they should hurry along to claim their pay for the day. Moreover, LiQuan told WeiYu that the group who comes last would also be punished, by handing over their pay to the winning group.



After having to scoot over to an area populated by more elderly citizens in order to find females who were willing to admit that they were 49-50 years old and 79-80 years old, WeiYu's group ecstatically hurried back to the recording base.



On close watch, XiaoJie's group cleverly pretended to pull into the driveway a few minutes after WeiYu's group arrived.

At this point, XiaoJie excitedly expressed that all he wanted to see was the look on WeiYu's face when he finally realised that the joke was on him.

The final moment of truth arrived, when WeiYu returned to the office and found his pay missing from inside his designated envelope. Awestruck, WeiYu couldn't fathom the situation until XiaoMa worked out that XiaoJie's group's late arrival had been an act. This served as a very amusing and unpredictable end to an immensely eventful tour around Taiwan!

Review by Choco-late:
I love this episode! The most interesting group to me was Wang Zi, Mao Di and Li Quan group as they are finding a pig that can calculate. Out of the 3 groups I think Wei Yu's group is the hardest and time consuming to complete while the other 2 groups can just go online and check or ask someone.

It's weird the pig can really calculate expressing his answer by turning the tap on and off. After the first question was being answered correctly I think we got to see the closest moment of Wang Zi and Mao Di as they were too high and being clingy to towards each other.

The part where that lady was hit by a hammer looks a bit fake to me and I was laughing while watching that part. I feel that Wang Zi has changed to more talkative now, just look at him at the end of the episode when tricking Wei Yu. All of them really like tricking Wei Yu, it was so hilarious to see Wei Yu's face when there's no money.

Ratings: 5/5 stars
1 = poor, 2 = alright, 3 = average, 4 = good, 5 = very good
