“伐木里” // Family

They act like an actual family rather than the fact that they’re on a variety TV show and I’m all for it! For example, at the beginning Baby, 鹿晗 (the kid of the family，邓超 go around laughing at everyone whose about to go to sleep (邓超 just straight up opening 王祖蓝‘s bathroom door) and when 李晨 wakes everyone up (like the family father) but stops at Baby’s room and just asks “你穿衣服了么” (are you wearing clothes) before going in, which is really sweet and respectful of privacy but kind of funny at the same time.

You really could just change the show name to one big family of squabbling siblings (邓超 李晨being the two old men who tease each other, Baby and 鹿晗 being the family’s youngest kids, 陈赫 as the oldest brother and 郑恺 王祖蓝 as the twins).

I enjoy each season having a winner (which unfortunately is not the case for seasons to come) and it really brings out their family’s competitive spirit.

I love this show so much. Like in what other show do you see grown-up celebrities wearing kangaroo outfits, competitively jumping hay hurdles and pulling each other’s tails or watch them exchange coffee beans for expensive items on the streets of a foreign place?

However, I have to give marks down for the ending because honestly, season one’s last episode was my favourite. I never liked revival tropes (with a few exceptions when deserved) so the idea of the guys who are out being able to control everyone else’s fate wasn’t my cup of tea.
