NEW! Monday!! The OTHER Way Season 6
The OTHER Way; Season 5, Episode 4:
Aug
Mary & Brandan:
Back in the Philippines…
Brandan was meeting the Grandparents Mary on the front porch (that he presumably paid for), for the very first time. He couldn’t help but use the words “warm” and “wet” in a sentence, as he attempted to dodge any questions about the couple kissing at the airport. Grand-papa (aka “LoLo”) seemed to like Brandan, as he invited him in for the grand tour. Mary showed off the ceiling spiderwebs, the corner spiderwebs, the lack of hot water, and random mixed variety bugs, all which resided on the inside. Luckily Brandan was used to living in a shed, a car, and most recently a camper, so he felt his new home was a bit of an upgrade. Thankfully the creepy crawlies stayed off of the kitchen table, as The Family Mary had prepared a feast in his honor (And the food actually looked good, not like some of these episodes where they make the American eat chicken feet *cough* Lydia* cough*). Mary had Brandan ask her grandparents if the couple would be allowed to share a room, out of respect for their culture. They seemed to give their blessing, making it clear that they did not want the couple to become intimate before their wedding. Of course Brandan agreed, though he was just hoping this was one of those loosely enforced rules.
It was finally time for the couple to spend their first night together, after two years of only sleeping together on the phone. Brandan brought a package-enhancing pair of boxer briefs to really impress his clueless bride-to-be (who was only thinking of Justin Beiber’s package anyway). He was hoping Mary would be into bending the rules a bit and would want to make their phone sessions virtual reality. As Brandan approached the topic, a rather loud gecko slithered around the ceiling beams, clearly auditioning for a new Geico commercial. Unfortunately Mary turned him down, as she was too nervous and worried about her grandparents finding out (She probably thought the lizard was a spy they hired…because that seems Mary-ish). Instead of trying out all of the many things they had discussed over 2 years on the phone, the two wound up sleeping next to each other in the bed, head to toe. Hoping for Brandan’s sake he doesn’t get a bug in his ear ala “Brokedown Palace”. Hopefully the bulge boxers will scare everything off…
Why? Wait what?! But why?!
Dan-yell & Yo-hawn:
Danielle is back, Oompa-Loompaing around, holding hands with Yohan, but now with long curly extensions. She explained that after all of their turmoil on their last season (You know, the inappropriate friendship with her ex boyfriend Taylen, her lack of support about the butcher shop, kicking coconuts all over the apartment, etc.). The two have been in counseling since the end of the previous season, and claim to be doing a lot better. They got a really cute puppy, named Gizmo, who now has to endure this stupidity. Gizmo’s job is to help them pregame for the baby (or two) they plan on having, even though Danielle was told it might be difficult due to her age.
Daniele headed to the airport to pick up her friends, Sandra & Lizzette, who were coming to town to visit and meet Yohan. The two gal pals had been skeptical of the move and relationship, especially when they heard of all of the drama the couple had gone through. Danielle revealed that Yohan is currently unemployed, as he quit his job as a trainer at the resort to focus on the butcher shop, which would up giving everyone salmonella, killing all of the customers. She and Yo-hon spend their days goofing around, sitting by the pool, and living off of her lucrative online yoga career (and probably eating mangos)
The Friends Danielle were not buying this whole “tropical paradise” life she was presenting and wanted to see what was really going on. The girls all got back to the apartment where Yohan was waiting with Gizmo (the couple’s only redeeming quality). Lizzette and Sandra seemed to like Yohan, wasting no time asking him how the relationship is going. Yo-hon danced around saying Danielle was awful, but just smiling and saying she hadn’t yet adapted to Dominican culture. Though they liked Yohan right off the bat, we shall see how things go with the rest of the trip. If I can stand it…. I thought we were done with these two!!!
Jewel-Eyo & Kirsten:
Back in Brentwood, Long Island (which they’re making look really nice on tv…)
Things are feeling a bit awkward since Jewels didn’t tell anyone in his life that he was moving or that Kirsten was a thing. The two were heading out to the car to go meet the rest of his family when Jeweleo showed off a bullet hole in his house like a badge of honor (Ah, the real Brentwood…). This scared the blond beauty, reconfirming her decision to stay in the Neitherworld.
Juli-EI-EI-O strolled into the backyard hangout with Nether-Barbie, ready to play dominos with his peoples. His family was shocked to hear how serious the relationship was, being that he hadn’t told them about Kirsten until recently. They all seemed surprised about his upcoming move, but were definitely more interested in playing dominos (As was I….)
Next it was time for a Halloween party, and Jeweliyo and Kirsten decided to both dress up as She/ He devils. Kirsten went with a more “Mean Girls” approach while Jeweliyo’s horns looked more like sad pigtails. They went to a friend’s party, where everyone in his life got to meet the she-devil in person. The couple were discussing their former life living together for 2 months in Netherworld, and how they had minimal fighting. Somehow the fighting topic sparked an actual fight, as Julio brought up the idea of living separately upon his move. Kirsten was shocked at the mere suggestion, feeling the Jewelio was gaslighting her. She didn’t see the point in living separately if the two planned on being together forever and ever in their perfect Neverland. This new living apart idea mixed with the fact that he hadn’t told anyone about their relationship and move made Kirsten feel that Julio was having second thoughts. The two devils argued back and forth, which was hard to take seriously. Good thing they forgot the pitchforks…
TJ & Kween Kimbally #2:
Back in Jaipur where the cows are in charge….
Kimbally and TJ were still in the midst of their fight from last week. TJ ran downstairs to tattletell on his fiance, as he wasn’t thrilled with his fiance’s shrieking and her choice of names she hurled at him when he screwed up the construction of their apartment. Kimbally cried to production, as the rest of the family tried to console TJ, who felt he had bent over backwards to make that bathroom door in the middle of the shower with a clear line of visibility to the toilet possible. (All of those “clairs’ ‘ and you couldn’t see this coming ,Kimbally???) Brother TJ was doing way too much, becoming overly defensive, and seeming like he wishes HE was the one marrying the wonderful TJ instead.
The next morning, Kimbally was saging the evil apartment in her Pokemon pajamas. She explained that she felt unheard in her relationship, and spent the night sleeping alone (instead of in the family bed with her fiance, brother in law, and mother in law. She must have had 72 diarrheas in the shower to have avoided that! Mother Smitt rules, of course). Eventually TJ went upstairs to make amends. Kimbally would not let go of the issue until she let her future husband realize he needs to validate her feelings. TJ, on the other hand, was most mad that the Kimbally had called him a “d*ck”, gesturing wildly as he repeated the word unnecessarily. The two argued back and forth ad nauseam, repeating the word way too many times.
One minute, you’re watching “The Craft”, playing crystal-y things, pretending you’re a good witch, and next thing you know, you’ve crying in your pokemon pajamas, pooping in the shower. But not flushing.
Karmando:
Back in Mexico City (That’s self explanatory, Kenny.. you should know that one)….
The little family of three headed to the airport to retrieve Mother Armando so she could spend some time with Hannah. Kenny worried that Mother Armando would try and talk them out of moving to Mexico City because of the distance and safety concerns, and also worried that he’d have no idea what they were saying.
They all went out for dinner where Armando dropped the bomb that the couple were thinking of relocating. Mother Armando broke down in tears, immediately throwing all of her guilt out at once, taking it personally that her son would want to move further away from her. Kenny of course couldn’t understand anything, but he could read the body language and recognize the sound of crying, knowing it wasn’t a good reaction. The new Armando, who now has more guts, combated his mother’s guilt by telling her that she also broke his heart when she didn’t support him coming out (as Kenny watched in tears….. not because he was proud, but because he “no comprendo”). Ultimately, Armando got his mother to see his point of view, and understand that moving to Mexico City wasn’t even his dumb idea anyway. Way to go, Kendoll.
Holly & Wayne the Drain:
Back in the land of Syngin & Simba….
Wayne was very upset with Holly’s revealing wardrobe, feeling like it was a safety concern in her new surroundings. He took her to a clothing store (along with Mother Holly) so she could find a more modest approach. Through her squinted, somewhat crossed eyes, Holly managed to find the shortest and tightest ensembles in the place, claiming that she likes to be “unique”. Wayne vetoed many of the options, worried that people might think Holly was single…. or a prostitute. Of course that comment didn’t go over well, and Holly went back to the fitting room to once again be overly dramatic and cry without moving her face.
(Somebody should shut the lights off and tell her it’s load shedding. That would turn the mood right around)
