Chapter 419: 418. Do you call this having a variety show feeling? (Fifth Watch)

"What if it’s wrong? Considering the Program Team’s MO, the clips they release are usually ones where someone gets egg on their face, emmmm~~~"

When Tang Shu got the Reversal Card, other people were also gradually getting Elimination Cards and other cards; the search segment was almost evenly matched.

"So, can I reverse someone’s identity?"

As soon as Tang Shu finished speaking, the cameraman was flabbergasted, and the camera shook again, leaving the audience in front of the TV bewildered.

"What does that mean?"

"Sorry, my IQ is in arrears, I didn’t understand."

"What’s she trying to do? Isn’t the Reversal Card for saving people during eliminations?"

Just then, the program magically switched the scene to the backstage crew members.

In the frame, a plump assistant director with headphones was seen, eyes gleaming, shouting:

"Agree to it, agree to it!"

"Pfft—"

"Is that the assistant director? Goodness, he’s quite hefty!"

"Wow, this must be the first time crew members have appeared on the show, right?"

"Don’t say, this bunch is pretty photogenic, hhhhhh~~~~"

"I’m estimating this part will become a highlight. The crew’s come out, it must be a highlight!"

"Right, right, remember this question."

"Remember this question +1"

As regular viewers, everyone was quite aware of the Program Team’s usual tricks. Even without seeing the upcoming reversal, they realized something was different.

So...

"Remember this question" suddenly flooded the chat.

The cameraman in front of Tang Shu gestured up and down, indicating agreement.

"Why does this cameraman keep shaking?"

"I bet the cameraman is new; his shoulders aren’t very steady—"

"He must be unaccustomed to such bizarre guests, what with all these questions..."

Immediately after, everyone gathered to analyze the clues together, as more heads are better than one... of course, with more people, it’s easier to get sidetracked.

When Tang Shu’s analysis turned out to be completely different from when she was alone, the netizens were stunned.

"Wait, she didn’t say that just now, did she?"

"Yeah, yeah, why is she leading the clue onto Lu Shen? Could she really be the mole?"

"Holy crap, I actually think her analysis makes sense! I’m starting to doubt Lu Shen now when it was Zhang Yilin we had figured out just before!"

"We’re screwed, it’s been derailed!"

"Ideas are running wild, and no one can pull them back now. Lu Shen, watch out!"

After the first person was eliminated, the guests scrambled to find new clues, and Tang Shu found a rendezvous passphrase:

"Hoeing the field at noon, sweat dripping onto the soil beneath."

The intended recipient’s expression was simply beyond words, blank-faced, lips hesitantly twitching, eyes carrying a touch of disdain.

Once again, the camera suspiciously wobbled slightly.

The netizens couldn’t hold it in anymore.

"Pfft—what kind of rendezvous passphrase is that?"

"Did the design team inhale something toxic? You call this a rendezvous passphrase??? Eleven out of ten people could match it!"

"Excuse me, who’s the extra one?"

"Obviously it’s the ghost!"

"Tang Shu: Are you guys playing with me?"

"Now it’s gonna be interesting at the rendezvous, they’ll definitely identify the wrong person! Hahahahaha—"

"hhhhhh~~~ The cameraman just lost it, he laughed, he must have laughed!"

"He really laughed! The cameraman’s first time on screen!!!"

Subsequently, Zhang Yilin, Chen Xin, and their trio regrouped, bringing on a full screen of familiarity.

[Damn, this team... I always feel like they’re up to something.]

[I actually have the same feeling, too. How come these three people together are so funny?]

The duo next to Tang Shu were, as ever, bickering, until she forcefully suppressed them with brute strength, prompting the audience to unleash a wave of [Hahaha].

Then, elimination, elimination, more elimination...

Magically, everything was going according to Tang Shu’s wishes.

Until Chen Xin was eliminated, the trio suddenly became a duo, and the show’s atmosphere shifted from the initial laughter to increasing tension.

The audience also started to feel the tension.

[Isn’t it time to reveal who the undercover is?]

[Yeah, after so many eliminations, they should at least tell us whether there’s a landlord or an Informant left, right?]

[The Program Team is being shady, leaving me all confused, let alone the guests at the time.]

[As usual, those who are eliminated should have their identity revealed.]

Faced with Wang Zhan’s questioning, Tang Shu stood there not saying a word, but her expression was quite comical.

Confused, dazed.

[hhhhhh~~ Such an innocent face.]

[She seems a bit aloof, but why do I feel she’s innocent?]

[Tang Shu hasn’t said a word this time, but it feels like she’s said a lot of stuff... Anyway, it just conveys one thing, I’m not the undercover, emmmm~~]

"And look at Tang Shu not talking, that look in her eyes, does she seem like the bad guy?"

Such a line came from the video.

[Not like a bad person, not at all!]

[Quite the opposite.]

[Tang Shu is getting a lot of screen time, huh? As a newcomer, she’s even getting more than other stars with higher profiles. It’s a bit unusual.]

[In such cases, it’s either a strong background or indeed a twist in the story. I lean more towards the former.]

[Unusual, so very unusual.]

Seeing this, many new media professionals squatting in front of their TVs suddenly lit up with inspiration.

"We’ve got material! Finally, some material!"

"Alright, I’ve found an angle to dig into, ’Tang Shu gets too much screen time, suspected strong background’! Inspiration has struck, that’s the sauce!"

"Let’s dig into Tang Shu’s background, eh? This little newcomer is something else, more screen time than the old guests!"

"I predict the prize money for this episode is in the bag, thanks to the detective Program Team, thanks to Tang Shu!"

Consequently, many were excitedly opening their laptops, inspiration flowing, and began writing advertorials.

Even the Station Master backstage was puzzled.

"This little star has a background? Whose family is she from, who is she related to?"

The director and the assistant director couldn’t help but feel the urge to laugh, "Station Master, I don’t know about her background, but her screen time definitely isn’t due to that."

"This little star may be young, but she’s got a real sense for variety shows!"

Was Tang Shu’s excessive screen time because of her background?

Of course not, it was because there was a twist coming up!

During the post-editing process, they couldn’t bear to cut even a second of her footage, every minute was explosive.

Tang Shu was also quite remarkable, every time she opened her mouth she managed to derail everyone else.

Station Master: "..."

He remembered that this girl named Tang Shu hardly ever spoke, and her expressions were few and far between, unlike other guests who could liven up the atmosphere.

You call this having a sense for variety shows?!

Is it you who are off, or is it me who is off?

Telling such blatant lies and still claiming she has no background!

***

In the blink of an eye, the team of ten was down to four.

Zhang Yilin, following Tang Shu, had managed to stay until the end, sparking a round of teasing from some people.
