Agree re: the MC in the tiger print! And the loss of the 'Wild' concept through these last two eps. I mean imagine if instead of just songs in this live final they'd also had them do chin-ups... People would remember it!
Stray thought, but given the fact that this was filmed in 2021, I wonder whether it was always planned to be an outdoors concept or if they did it mostly outdoors in the earlier part of the year in order to meet COVID guidelines? In Korea I got the impression they actually discouraged people being outdoors, and were much more insistent on mask wearing outdoors, than in internal/private spaces. Like on BTS In The Soop they'd all hang out maskless with each other in the house, but if one of them went running down a deserted road the mask went on. Or you often saw people taking masks off as soon as they got into a car. It felt like the idea was 'keep your germs to yourself' rather than thinking more about modes of transmission. But then they had so little covid in Korea overall that the guidelines didn't have to make total sense.
