Nametag-ripping made a return in the latest episode of 'Running Man' - with a surprise twist!

Going back in time to Gold Rush-era Australia, the sheriffs of 'Running Man' - with guests Kim Woo Bin and Rain - compete to gather the most gold stars of them all. There were two ways to earn gold stars: by completing missions scattered across the desert town, or by ripping each others' nametags, where they would earn the gold stars that the victim had collected.

Only sheriffs who had a higher number of stars than their opponent would be able to rip the opposing side's tag. If a lesser opponent accidentally ripped the nametag of a higher-ranked sheriff, he or she would be forced to give up a gold star in compensation.

As the final match began, Kim Woo Bin held a commanding lead, thanks to the stars he had accumulated in the previous mini-games as well as making some smart choices. As the balance of power shifted to and fro, the sheriffs found their loyalties twisting and turning as well!

Just when it seemed hopeless, Yoo Jae Suk and Song Ji Hyo separately stumbled upon the existence of the 'definitive star' - a glowing red star which would make the wearer invulnerable for a certain amount of time!

The existence of the 'definitive star' turned the whole game on its head, putting Song Ji Hyo from near dead last to matching Kim Woo Bin in star strength. With only the two sheriffs remaining, they held an old-fashioned showdown on the street. Although the 'Ace' held her own valiantly, she was eventually overcome by Kim Woo Bin and his height, who eventually triumphed and became the winner for the Australian finale.
