Vanja & Bozo:
After a snag in her travel plans, Vanja was finally able to reach Bozo, who was tweaking his red nose and shining his giant clown shoes in preparation for her arrival. He went dumpster diving for a “Welcome to Croatia” plant (Which is still better than Coltee not bringing anything….). The two finally connected at the baggage claim with a giant excited hug, but no other signs of affection, which was a bit off-putting for Vanja. They seemed to get along, as Vanja was a good sport, willing to go along with Bozo’s plans for the day without making a hotel stop after her incredibly long day of travel.
Bozo had planned a traditional cooking class for the two, which would have been a good idea on say… day 2, instead of hour 2. They were attempting to warm up to each other while warming up their traditional “Soparnik”, which is some kind of dough filled with green leafy vegetables. The fellow Soparnikians inquired as to how “Bozja” (Their celebrity couple name) came to be, as they told their tale of meeting via online swiping. Vanja was shocked, however, to hear Bozo describe them as “just nice friends”, though he tried to play it off as one of his many poorly timed bad jokes. She cried off her pink eyeshadow, as the two left the cooking class and headed back to her rental apartment.
Once there they then went up the apartment’s unbelievably slow elevator (Which was definitely not as cool as Lily’s home elevator), and got acquainted with the new surrounding. Vanja brought Bozo a few gifts, including a personalized air freshener and a bag full of crumbled cookies she had baked. Unfortunately Bozo decided not to stay at the apartment, as he felt like he didn’t want to rush things or put too much pressure on their relationship, as he tried to gauge if the two had chemistry. Vanja should just slap on those 6” stripper heels and high tail it out of there. This clown has no job, a garbage plant, and fed her nothing but leafy greens upon arrival. I’m done with him.
RayNay & Chidi Chidi No BangBang:
All alone in her hotel room, Raynay stared longingly out the window, pondering how it all went so wrong. She washed her stanky clothes in the hotel bathtub, discussing her disbelief over the bitter ending of her relationship with Chidi. Meanwhile, back at his sister’s house, Chidi was staring at the wall (Because of the whole appleto the eye/desk bumping blindness thing), explaining his heartbreaking decision to pursue Raynay or stay loyal to his faith and family. The family Chidi seemed to be supportive, while also admitting that they do not think the angry chicken lady is the right person for him. He met up with a friend to discuss the state of his love life, which seemed to have a bleak outlook. Friend Chidi reminded him that Raynay had always been crazy even before they had met, and would not really be someone you’d want to lead you through life, blindly.
Back at the hotel room, RayNay rolled around in some lingerie she had bought on the streets of Nigeria, feeling a bit better since Chidi agreed to come meet up with her. She was hoping he would really be impressed by feeling how sexy her lingerie was, and that the two could work things out. Why did the Chidi cross the road?? To hopefully break up with the chicken lady…
Tigerlily & Adenoids:
It seems as though the newly separated newlyweds were already out of the honeymoon phase. Tigerlily went to see her hairstylist Cruz for a hair curling/therapy sesh. She explained that Adnan seems to have rules for everything, including seeing her male chiropractor, as he felt the cracking was a little too maaach “sexual healing” for his liking. Feeling frustrated, Tigerlily did the only mature thing, and ignored his phone calls, which Adnan claimed sent him to the hospital with a panic attack. She was hoping that they could resolve these issues soon, since her next trip was only 2 days away and the theme this time was “baby making” (Hopefully her OBGYN isn’t a man). Adnanymous was hoping that Tigerlily would forget all of their issues when she saw him at the airport, and the two could go back to their wedded awkward silence from their last in-person encounter.
Unfortunately while she was traveling, T-Lily came across a photo Adnan had posted on his Instagram where he was topless, getting out of a steamy shower. She immediately requested he remove the photo, mostly out of pettiness since she wasn’t even allowed to shake hands with her gay male hairdresser. Looks like we get to see them fight about it in person in their baby voices next week… great!
Niles & Matilda:
Poor Matilda was sobbing after hearing that Niles wanted to postpone their big fat Ghana wedding. Niles attempted to calm her down as they headed back to the hotel, but Matilda wanted to be left alone. Even production reminded him that he could have clued Matilda in about canceling the wedding plans sooner, though Niles blamed his poor planning and bad social cues on the Autism.
As they headed back to the hotel, Niles tried to explain his intentions, which included marrying her on his next trip to Ghana. He did agree to go through with the “Knock Door” ceremony, which would only set him back a bottle of Schnapps and a goat or two. Matilda was devastated but agreed since she loved him, realizing that this miscommunication was obviously a product of his Autism. Looks like next week Niles gets to explain to Matilda’s entire crew why they’d better cancel the caterers (Sponsored by “Baby Girl Lisa’s Meat Market, and hoped he’d still gain their approval.
Brian & Ingrid:
Having made up from their “oral arguments”, Brian and Ingrid went back to her house so he could meet her parents. Father Ingrid decided to work a double shift in order to get out of the ridiculous meet up, while Mother Ingrid wasn’t as lucky. Brian attempted to ply her with gifts, much like he did with Ingrid’s 2 year old, however it seems Mother Ingrid isn’t a fan of remote control cars….or Brian, in general. Ingrid felt bad that her mom wasn’t very receptive to the meeting, especially since she refused to dine in his presence (She was probably worried he’d bust out the catheter). Mother Ingrid could not understand her daughter’s interest in the awkward foreign man, and refused to entertain any part of it. Ingrid should take after her mother.
Faith & Leaky Loren:
Before meeting the family, Faith decided to take advantage of the tropical surroundings. She and Loren went to the beach, swimming around together as they held hands and seemed to be getting closer. Loren plied her with a foot massage, which is the leading cause of Gonorrhea of the foot in the world. As he infected her, Faith discussed her difficult childhood, including her father’s death and having to drop everything to work so she could support her family. The conversation (and foot rub) came on the heels of the upcoming meeting with The Family Faith, which was still taking place despite Loren’s laundry list of lies. (Can’t believe I have to cross off “Swimming in the Philippines” from my bucket list, thanks to the water contamination).
