The Other Way; Episode 8 & 9

“The Other Way”, the last 2 episodes combined into one REALLY long ridiculous rambling. Here goes nothing…..

Deavan & Jihoon:
Deavan sits down to do shots of rubbing alcohol on a date night with the friends Jihoon, only to find out hes an international man of mystery. He may or may not be the ringleader of the underground international cell phone bandits. She should probably keep hers on her at all times, before it ends up in China.

Laura & Prince Ali Fabulous he Alibaba:
Liam coming in hot, laying the guilt trip on his mom. Liam and Aladdin went to the Tunisian version of the YMCA pool (and dont worry, the cowboy hat came too). Just keep this in mind in case the water has a greasy film on the top- Zied is also from Tunisia, and he so much likes swimming. Honestly, if I was 22 and my mom ran off to Tunisia with a 30 year old guy to get married, and is then talking about having kids??? I’d be just as bratty. It’s ridiculous. Then again, the entire thing is ridiculous, so why not have a kid, if you’re eggs haven’t turned into powdered eggs yet. Don’t get me wrong, Liam’s smirk was super annoying, but I’d totally be bratty too.
Laura looked really festive in her Tunisian ensemble. I hope they walk down the aisle to “Gettin’ Jiggy with it” next week. Its really their song.

Tiffany & Ronald:
Last week we got to tour a maternity ward of a public hospital in South Africa. When I first saw that nurse in her uniform I thought “How luxurious! This is like the cocktail waitress from a cruise ship that brings you a margarita while you’re in labor?!? Damn, Africa, You rule!” But I was wrong. Basically, the Captain and Tennille will be delivering your baby while you’re alone on the floor. Seems stressful, but their uniforms were so cool, does it even really matter?!
They didn’t mention if you got free mesh panties and jumbo pads for the aftermath, but I’m guessing you’re probably lucky to get a 1 ply Kleenex and a piece of duct tape to hold it in place. Everyone knows the mesh underwear are the best part, so Tiffany should really weigh out her options based on that alone.

Paul & Karine:
Mother Paul came to town, extra sweaty and reeking of citronella! Karine, on the other hand, looked so nice, and actually washed her hair for this momentous occasion. She put on lashes and everything! Also, her boobs are outta control huge from having this baby. The meeting seemed to go well and hopefully everyone can stop being dumb for the sake of baby Pierre and his baby baguettes.

Corey & Evilone:
I sincerely feel awful for Corey’s family at this difficult time.
Evelin really stepped it up this week; she actually went to the airport, she cooked Corey dinner, and even blocked her ex gringo on social media. She was a really decent and even thoughtful human for one whole segment. Too bad she doesn’t want to marry at all not even a little. But dinner was a start…

Jenny & Sumit:
It was the moment we’d all been waiting for; Jenny was revealed to be the other woman, and was confronted by both Family de Sumit AND Family de Wife de Sumit. (That got confusing for a minute).
So let me get this straight….the entire family comes over to their 1 room apartment to have some kind of intervention, where they claimed they were going to blackmail Sumit by filing fake abuse charges with the police if he didn’t stay with his wife?? In the midst of the chaos, a shrine gets knocked down. Production was called right after to come film, and they “caught the first flight back to India”, I’m guessing from the U.S.? So in the over 24 hours it took them to fly over, no one picked the 3 things up that were knocked over during the brawl? Mkay.
Also, the entire timeline of ALL of this is fishy. Jenny and Sumit were together for 6 years, during which she previously came to India and met his family. How long ago was that? Because now they’re saying hes been married for 2 years. Also, why the hell would his wife’s family want her to stay married to this guy who cheated on her with a much older American woman? Shouldn’t they all be eating mango I’ve cream with her, watching Bollywood romcoms, and telling her how she can do waaaaay better?! How he was short with funny teeth and no job and she can get whoever she wants?!? Come on!
Jenny also says “what am I supposed to do???” Umm you come back to the US, take a nice hot shower, pretend none of this ever happened, and find a nice guy on “Our Time”, the mature dating site.
I’m not buying Sumit’s story that they are all going to jail. Why would the father in law want him to stay married to his daughter, but go to jail, or be in trouble with the law? I said it the first time and I’ll say it again, hes a liar liar pants on fire.
