Lee Eun-ji, Mimi, Lee Young-ji, and Ahn Yujin pressed the laughter buttons of viewers with their unpredictable performances.

In the 7th episode of tvN's 'BbangBbang Earth Entertainment 3' (directed by Na Young-seok and Park Hyun-yong), which aired yesterday (6th), Lee Young-ji caused a twist by surpassing the earnest photo contest participant, Lee Eun-ji, to take first place. Additionally, in the character quiz with a dinner at stake, the weakest in that field, Mimi, performed well, while the ace, Ahn Yujin, struggled in an unusual scene that drew attention.

The broadcast recorded an average viewership rating of 2.8% in the metropolitan area and a peak of 3.4%, with a national average of 2.6% and a peak of 3.3%, ranking first in the same time slot among cable and comprehensive programming channels. The viewership rating for the target demographic of tvN, viewers aged 20-49, recorded an average of 2.4% and a peak of 3.1% in the metropolitan area, and an average of 2.0% and a peak of 2.6% nationally, making it the top show across all channels, including terrestrial broadcasts, during that time slot.

On this day, the participants going on a personal trip received a mission for a photo contest to determine the ending fairy of this episode with one photo taken during their travels. They had to express purity, passion, and Portugal in their photos. Ahn Yujin not only purchased gifts for her sisters but also enjoyed coffee and cookies while diligently taking photos. Lee Eun-ji brought joy with her portrayal of a mother enjoying freedom after a break from work. She decorated with purchased props and heightened expectations with various poses in her photos.

Due to her digital detox, Lee Young-ji, without her mobile phone, took photos with Mimi in a bakery, braving the fear of pigeons. However, a group of pigeons suddenly swooped in and attacked the table with the bread while they stepped away briefly. Afterward, they bought fries and settled where there were no pigeons, but found themselves in an embarrassing situation as the pigeons appeared again, raising excitement.

In response, Mimi and Lee Young-ji planned a one-minute challenge called the ‘Pigeon God’ test in the Comersiu Plaza, which was free of pigeons. However, the moment they said there were no pigeons, the birds appeared, and as soon as the test began, the pigeons flocked in, succeeding in just 20 seconds, creating a rare sight that drew photographers and laughter. Keeping a distance out of fear, Lee Young-ji commented, “Sister, what if we call seagulls instead of pigeons?” and “I think this is an experience I can't have in my life.”

Lee Eun-ji emerged as a strong candidate for victory, but in a surprising turn of events, a photo depicting Lee Young-ji stopping a pigeon that flew onto the table, along with a bakery staff member, received 4 votes and secured first place. Ultimately, Lee Young-ji crowned the ending fairy, and her video adorned the end of the 7th episode.

Meanwhile, in the dinner game character quiz, an astonishing scene unfolded as Mimi became the ace and Ahn Yujin the weakest. After the first round, Mimi continued to answer correctly, showing confidence and composure, while Ahn Yujin lost her ability in rock-paper-scissors, missing the chance to taste the food and recording three consecutive wrong answers, providing fresh entertainment.

Along with Mimi, Lee Young-ji also made significant strides as they secured tiger shrimp and butter rice in the 6th round, and in the 7th round, they obtained Galician octopus. Moreover, they attempted the failed paella again in the 8th round, succeeding in the character quiz by adding one round-trip and one one-way in their first attempt, making the viewers cheer.

On the other hand, Lee Young-ji had to undergo a digital detox for an additional 4 hours due to the production team's failure to consider the time difference between Abu Dhabi and Lisbon, Portugal. After the digital detox ended, Lee Young-ji quieted down with the arrival of her phone and became unable to take her eyes off it despite feeling sleepy, saturated with dopamine. Additionally, the upcoming broadcast on the 13th (Friday) will feature the competition among the participants and the production team regarding mouse detox, anticipating an intense showdown.

tvN's 'BbangBbang Earth Entertainment 3' airs every Friday at 8:40 p.m.
