Wow. TV guy's a right bastard, isn't he? Wonder how he'll be humbled.

 

[Mogima]

can we make a heart attack, somehow?

he's old. it won't be out of place, right?
right?

 

[Resound]

thats just stupid, "im old and i suffered so i can get this far so everyone else should too"

hope the fix contestants gets kick out

 

[jiunyann]

Hes not wrong in that it will appeal to more people if its that much harder, the problem is assuming the audience can recognise that to begin with

I straight up don't agree with what he's saying. From my experience watching cooking shows rooting for people tends to be the main draw, especially in the tension of "is this the week where my fave looses?"

Hes basically just cutting down on weeks worth of hype.

 

[parasyticghoul]

"Like hell I'll let you"

 

[lolfacesayshi]

He's right, I wanna see this dumb fucking old bag on his death throes.

 

[Yuri_Enjoyer_Deluxe]

Unc still got it 🔥😤

 

[JByrd]

jumping from 72 to 10

axe incoming?

 

[panzerkampfwagyu]

Honestly, given how he goes about it, I would expect some trolls to engage in viewbotting to let noone drop out for the lulz.

 

[I_love_Spring]

Oh, you'll have your spectacular show, old man. Watch how those ladies outwit your wicked plans

 

[Colonel-Picquart]

Junna is going algorithm optimise soooo hard that it's going to boost all the other girls and show up this TV exec.
I mean honestly I think she's going to break his ideals about why people are watching our trainees so hard it'll mind break him and give the producer a carte blanche.

 

[louloute0203]

axe incoming?

It's pretty clear that his plan is setup to be foiled by Juuna by some manner of trickery

 

[Mashii52]

Inb4 Junna just increases the popularity of the entire show somehow and have like 40 contestants survive

 

[Tiersten]

Yeah. Rushing it means the audience doesn't build any connection to the rest of the contestants. Their fave might have been kicked out but they'll still watch because they're rooting for somebody else now. A lot of the time its wanting somebody to not win

 

[SotetsuGuy]

I hope the "solution" to this chapter's puzzle is for them to use English to appeal to a much larger audience. That would be fun to watch, AND biting social commentary about the Olds of Japan underestimating the rest of the world.

 

[SilentStorm]

I expect way fewer people to drop out than the old man expects but also not have the perfect solution to have everyone stay, it's still a show, if nothing else, Junna is probably going to figure out how many people were originally meant to drop out and arrange it so that only that number drops out.

...Or she gets so full of spite she makes the impossible happen and everyone gets one extra round, also possible, but i am betting on things not going that well.

 

[illuminatu]

This knockoff Issho Arakawa is going to get what's coming to him

 

[Tic_tac_potato]

Genuinely how no idea how Junna is going to overcome this one. I haven't done the math yet but wouldn't it be almost impossible to get more than 10 people safe?
