Episode 3 of "Tinh Ha Say Hi" opens with the Champions sports festival, where 24 brothers have to go through a series of entertainment games but also decide the situation of Livestage 2. Points accumulated after each challenge become the basis for artists to win the right to form teams, creating a vibrant competitive atmosphere right from the beginning of the program.
Right in the first challenge, the older brothers had to run with the mascot. Phap Kieu made people laugh when wearing high heels, so he could not accelerate, deciding to turn the competition into an impromptu catwalk. Meanwhile, HURRYKNG was constantly asked by members to "check VAR" because he did not comply with the rules and had to receive many humorous punishments.
In the football competition, the program continued to create surprises when the older brothers had to wear bulky costumes, making moving and scoring goals difficult. However, Phap Kieu and Ali Hoang Duong still continuously scored, creating many explosive moments. Hai Nam and Le Duong Bao Lam took on the role of commentators, contributing to stirring up the atmosphere on the field.
In the game "Fly or Swim", instead of going down to the water as many predicted, the brothers had to curl up in their sleeping bags to move to collect points or jump far on the thorns. Not only fiercely competing, many members also scored points for team spirit when WEAN gave Duong Domic 30 points, CONGB shared 20 points with HYO. One of the moments that attracted attention was Tran Thanh directly carrying Wren Evans away from the competition area after the challenge.
After the sports festival, the program announced the six captains of Livestage 2. Duong Domic, Phap Kieu and Quang Hung MasterD won the right to lead the team thanks to their performances, while Wren Evans, CAPTAIN BOY and KIMLONG were voted by the members. Notably, KIMLONG took on the role of captain for the first time, while Phap Kieu led the overall score after three rounds of competition.
The team building mechanism is also raised in difficulty when team leaders have to race to persuade members to join their team if they choose a brother together. As a result, six official teams were established, in which Quang Hung MasterD gathered Song Luan, JSOL and Son. K, and Duong Domic accompanied CONGB, WEAN and buitruonglinh.
In addition to the new rules of the game, Livestage 2 also expanded its scale with the participation of six international and Vietnamese artists, including the brass band Los Fuegos Horns, EDM saxophonist Tory Sax, pianist Van Toan, producer 2Pillz, guitarist LEONSASH and drummer EMIL VERGO.
Each team will collaborate with a guest artist to develop a song based on six demos that have been announced, and at the same time must harmonize international instruments with Vietnamese folk music material. This is considered the biggest challenge for the brothers since the beginning of the season, requiring higher levels of performance, music production and stage creativity.
