Just Bananas About: Week of 3/13/17

Some of the weekend variety shows were preempted this weekend due to the breaking news of the South Korean’s president leaving the Blue House.  Other shows were preempted due to the finale for other shows taking up the whole Sunday night variety show spot.  Regardless, I have to admit that I’m a little glad since I didn’t realize how hard it would be to catch up on all these shows.  I’m literally going show by show so there are still shows I haven’t caught up on and others which I am up to date on, including New Journey to the West 3.

This weekend, I finished watching the last episode of Season 4 of Show Me the Money, which is competition between rappers.  I’m not sure if this was the right season to tune into for the first time.  This season was fraught with controversy from the issue of Team Verbal Jint and San E reversing their decision about Black Nut to the editing to the leakage of information.  That last issue caused the production team to decide to broadcast the final episode live.  I can’t say that the live broadcast wasn’t without its problems but I was definitely rooting for this rapper that I’m featuring today.  If you haven’t caught up with the show yet, spoilers abound.
