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
