·46 min·4 clips

JT and Brian randomly draft their 12-member teams for a $10 Badge Wars 2 fantasy bet live on air.

The episode begins with hosts JT and Brian discussing the 21-day hiatus for I-LAND2 and their excitement for Triple S's Badge Wars 2, leading to a live draft where they randomly select 12 members each for a $10 fantasy bet. They then shift to reviewing I-LAND2 episode 6, which features a versus battle with two teams performing the song 'I Will Always Love You.' The hosts recap the position selection process, where Fuka's win in a lyric-writing contest gave her the power to change positions, moving Jiyoon from center to main vocalist. Key storylines include the ongoing awkwardness between Jung and Jun, Soojung's emotional struggle as main vocalist and lack of team support, and the head-to-head battles like Saebi vs. Coco, which focused on facial expressions. The judges' decisions result in the top six advancing: Fuka, Jiyoon, Saebi, Sarang, Jungin, and Mai. The hosts analyze each matchup, noting the use of a five-week spoiler showing Sarang's past elimination trauma. They also discuss the ground members, who performed but are largely irrelevant to the main competition. The episode concludes with explanations of the upcoming fan voting to determine the final six members, potential eliminations of foreign contestants, and idle of the week picks like Dosie from Purple Kiss.
