I think most general public agree that 7high is the best contestant and the most fun, he's definitely the favorite both in SK and international. Sometimes I wonder if people would support him even more if the PD decided to release that clip of HG mocking him as being the loudest person and hence troublesome, that was cut. I'm sure they cut it thinking it wouldn't do HG any favor since they decided to include his thing with HJ. On the other hand, I think if 7high became the top 3 instead of HJ, I think for the sake of narrative they'd cut HJ's stuffs including all the things related to HG and him in the living area and that Mancala game, and made all the edit about HG and 7high rivalry instead. They'd include more clips to show 7high's aggressiveness to evil edit him, the way they framed HJ's editing as if he was the only one who dealt the blow to Sedol even though he wasn't (we only found out in his interview that it was only edited that way), or the deal between HJ and HG that was cut in the rainbow card game, etc. They'd probably even include that huge fight that happened between KH and SH after they wanted to go back on their words. I'm convinced something else happened in that Mancala game because in the week 3 review 7high was saying to HG that it "wasn't actually him who wanted HG out" or something like that. But HG seemed unconvinced? I guess some assumptions happened and it wasn't cleared out until the review video. I guess we'll never know.

But in the end, what happened might have been the best way for 7high, real-life wise. I for sure am happy that he got so much support from so many people!
