Sung Si-kyung, Lee Soo-geun
32 November 25, 2016 Another dream of Ra Mi-ran is decided and it's camping! Mi-ran comes prepared with all the needed supplies, packing up and hitting the road. Once they reach their destination they begin to unpack and set up but things don't go as planned, luckily Mi-ran is there ready to help. Once they finish setting up they then prepare their food. Later they play the "Never have I ever" game with lots of personal questions and entertaining results. In the end Min Hyo-rin and Jessi are chosen to do dishes but then they catch Hong Jin-kyung red-handed.
The show then shifts to last week's episode where the restaurant is revealed and the members get to taste the food. Finally the time has come for the blind date of 3:3 (including Jessi's hair stylist). They have 3 rounds to determine if the couples match with each other. At the end of the date, one by one the boys give out their roses to their choice girl. The blind date is a success and the restaurant is opened.

Controversy

On August 14, 2016, (the day before Korean Liberation Day), Tiffany controversially posted photos on Instagram and, a day later, onto Snapchat that featured the Rising Sun design and the current Japanese flag. She deleted the images soon after, but faced substantial criticism regardless.[6] The program received an outpouring of complaints demanding for the show to remove Tiffany. On August 18, 2016, the program announced that after discussing the situation with SM Entertainment, the decision to withdraw was reached. The official statement reads: "As a result of the discussion, we have the final decision for Tiffany to leave the show, in consideration of what we agree to be the effect that the controversy had on the country's sentiments."[7]
