Another "Amazing Race" Of Sorts

The Energetic RUNNING MAN Regulars

On the subject of the Amazing Race and Korean Reality shows, there’s this one other pretty frickin’ entertaining show called “Running Man” featuring teams racing against each other or engaging in massive “chase master” games towards a victory goal, and thanks to the inventive tasks and totally wacky hosts, it is a real SCREAM!
    The first time I turned into the program was because (naturally) they featured those sweet n sassy SNSD girls in a special “Couples” racing challenge where the girls got paired with the regular participants in a race around town. Everyone was so much fun and wisecracking with each other, it made for an INCREDIBLY entertaining show!
   BTW, I really love this shot of the girls getting ready to be paired up with their eventual partners…each girl’s personality is CLEARLY evident with their body poses! 

Guests Girls' Generation

From right to left: Taeyeon scratching her head like a frazzled soccer mom (and as leader of SNSD, what else can she be), stoic Yuri crosses her arms with an air of confidence and bemusement, Jessica has a flirty and sassy slant, Good Girl Seohyun looks like a elementary school student about to take roll call as she stands with her hands behind her back, Hyoyeon stands tuff and straight as the tomboyish gal she is (those black shoes fit her to a T!), and Yoona stands like the bright, fresh faced everyday girl she is!

Yoona leads her team in trying to have a picnic in 3minutes!

From games like"finding Couples accessories on a budget" to "Speed Picnicing" the guys and gals ran through a flurry of silly shenanigans that was entertaining from beginning to end! After seeing these awesome episodes, I jumped back online and found a few other ones featuring those charming SNSD girls, and then began seeing ones with girls from groups like  f(x), Miss-A and....YES! KARA!!!
   By the time I finished watching those episodes, It didn't even matter if there were any notable guests on the show, as I'd already learned to love all the "regular" cast runners!  Jaesuk, Suk Jin, Gary, Jongkook, Haha, Kwangsoo and the always spunky (as well as only regular female runner) Ji Hyo, it is THEIR dynamic that makes this such a FUN and ENTERTAINING EVENT!

Just this past weekend, I cobbled together a whole bunch of my favorite "Running Man" shows and after turning him onto the wonders of KARA and SNSD (a BIG Hit with him, BTW), we marathonned three whole races, and he was HOWLING with laughter throughout the entire thing, saying "I haven't laughed this much in YEARS!"
