SPEAKER_00: The 90 Day Book Club is intended for entertainment purposes only and contains adult language.
0:08
SPEAKER_00: Hello, hello, and welcome again to the 90 Day Book Club.
0:13
SPEAKER_00: I am your host.
0:14
SPEAKER_00: My name is Jen.
0:16
SPEAKER_00: I am a romance reader and a writer and a reality TV edit.
0:22
SPEAKER_00: Why is this called a book club, you may ask?
0:26
SPEAKER_00: Well, I'll tell you.
0:27
SPEAKER_00: Have you ever been to a book club?
0:31
SPEAKER_00: If you have, you know sometimes you talk about the books, sometimes you don't.
0:36
SPEAKER_00: Sometimes you just drink wine.
0:39
SPEAKER_00: So like that, sometimes I talk about the books that I'm reading, books I'm writing, sometimes I don't.
0:47
SPEAKER_00: Either way, I'm still here talking to you about our common interests.
0:52
SPEAKER_00: And also, I will have links in my show notes.
0:56
SPEAKER_00: If you want to read some good, spicy, happily ever afters.
1:00
SPEAKER_00: If you're feeling in a Halloween mood, I've got lots of those too.
1:07
SPEAKER_00: I kind of got tons.
1:09
SPEAKER_00: Not written by AI, by the way.
1:12
SPEAKER_00: These are all from my own noggin, from my own keyboard, and I have the full-on burnout to prove it.
1:21
SPEAKER_00: But let's get going with Hunt for Love, season two, episode one, The Girl Who Got the Ick.
1:29
SPEAKER_00: Uh, I'm gonna start by saying if you hear odd noises in the background, it's because I have a dog sitting on my feet.
1:37
SPEAKER_00: Why is there a dog in my house?
1:39
SPEAKER_00: Well, I'll tell you, we had a bad storm in North Carolina on October 11th, and this bulldog mix sort of wandered up to our porch to get out of the rain, and we uh just sort of let him stay.
1:55
SPEAKER_00: And yeah, we are we're we're we're trying to figure it out.
2:01
SPEAKER_00: But he is quite the love bug, and I named him Walter, and now it's a whole thing.
2:09
SPEAKER_00: So, anyways, yeah, I don't have my soundproof fabrics hung properly, so you might hear a little bit of an echo, but that's just because wandering in and out of the room is Walter and the other cats on top of that, so should be interesting, but here we go.
2:29
SPEAKER_00: I just want to say also, I'm really excited about this cast for Hunt for Love.
2:34
SPEAKER_00: Last season I was really irritated to see Colt, to see Usman and Jennifer from Columbia, Jennifer with two F's.
2:44
SPEAKER_00: Now I loved Courtney, but I really hated seeing her with either Colt or Usman.
2:52
SPEAKER_00: Because come on, are you for real?
2:55
SPEAKER_00: Those are her choices.
2:56
SPEAKER_00: It was ridiculous.
2:57
SPEAKER_00: I mean, the MVP of the whole first season goes to the raccoon, right?
3:04
SPEAKER_00: If you if you watched season one, you know what I'm talking about.
3:10
SPEAKER_00: And I don't mind defending myself against my better judgment.
3:15
SPEAKER_00: That I liked having Tim the last season.
3:19
SPEAKER_00: Tim, yeah.
3:21
SPEAKER_00: Even though he is quite problematic sometimes the way he talks about women, I don't like it.
3:26
SPEAKER_00: And I think he knows better.
3:28
SPEAKER_00: And if I had him sitting next to me, I might give him a little smack on the back of the head.
3:34
SPEAKER_00: But anyway, I can't help myself.
3:36
SPEAKER_00: I like having Tim.
3:37
SPEAKER_00: Tim is good TV, okay?
3:40
SPEAKER_00: And that's last year.
3:41
SPEAKER_00: But I'm excited about this cast.
3:43
SPEAKER_00: This year we have Jamal, he's the son of Kimberly, Kimbali, uh, of Kimberly and Usman, and all the iterations of Kim and Sum.
3:55
SPEAKER_00: But now he's a main character.
3:57
SPEAKER_00: And uh, I know he's a fuckboy, and he knows he's a fuckboy, but I find him very charming.
4:02
SPEAKER_00: And once again, I have a soft spot, despite everything.
4:06
SPEAKER_00: All that to say, Jamal is here at the resort in Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico bang trip.
4:15
SPEAKER_00: Uh, I am also happy about this gorgeous scenery, the blue water, the palm trees, this resort, unlike last year's resort, this looks like it may actually have air conditioning.
4:26
SPEAKER_00: And I don't have to heave while watching Colt dance in a full-on wool sweater on the beach.
4:35
SPEAKER_00: Jamal wants us to know that he's a reformed fuckboy.
4:38
SPEAKER_00: He's aware of his behaviors and he wants to change.
4:42
SPEAKER_00: Uh, more to come on that.
4:44
SPEAKER_00: Amanda, the events coordinator, is giving him a tour of the island.
4:49
SPEAKER_00: She's like, Why are you single?
4:50
SPEAKER_00: He's like, uh, you know, I have commitment issues, trust issues.
4:55
SPEAKER_00: I tend to notice red flags way too early on.
4:58
SPEAKER_00: He says, he tells us he has a tendency to try to fix crazy, and his fix rate is successful at a negative 27.
5:07
SPEAKER_00: I don't know what that means, but I'm not good at math.
5:12
SPEAKER_00: Still, I'm pretty sure it didn't make sense.
5:15
SPEAKER_00: Jamal really hopes that Veronica is not here.
5:18
SPEAKER_00: Veronica of Tim and Veronica.
5:21
SPEAKER_00: Or Usman.
5:24
SPEAKER_00: Or his mom.
5:25
SPEAKER_00: You know what would be really funny though if Kimberly showed up.
5:29
SPEAKER_00: Uh next we have Kara.
5:31
SPEAKER_00: Kara of Kara and Guillermo, fresh from the last resort, aka divorce castle.
5:41
SPEAKER_00: I did not cover last resort, but here's a summary of Kara and Guillermo.
5:46
SPEAKER_00: They did not recommit because Guillermo did not show up to the recommitment ceremony.
5:52
SPEAKER_00: Uh, these two have one child together.
5:54
SPEAKER_00: Kara says she's ready to get back into the dating scene.
5:58
SPEAKER_00: She's looking for somebody who will order for her at restaurants.
6:03
SPEAKER_00: She says, Don't bring me a menu.
6:05
SPEAKER_00: Just tell them what I want to eat.
6:07
SPEAKER_00: Okay, um, that sounds fun, but that's not what you want in real life.
6:15
SPEAKER_00: It seems like one of those micro tropes you see in movies where the very confident man orders for you, but that that always that's the villain.
6:29
SPEAKER_00: That's how you set up set the table, as it were, for the not great guy in a movie.
6:37
SPEAKER_00: She feels like a man who orders at a restaurant for her is taking care of her, but I mean, my husband is the only man I would trust to order food for me, and he still is not gonna do it.
6:50
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I guess, you know what?
6:51
SPEAKER_00: Also, I would I would trust Najella Lawson, I would trust Aina Garten to tell me what to eat, of course.
6:59
SPEAKER_00: I would trust Jose Andres, who we know you might know.
7:04
SPEAKER_00: He's known for having those kind of restaurants that have like one single chef's menu and you you don't get a choice.
7:11
SPEAKER_00: That's why I referenced him.
7:12
SPEAKER_00: I I I love that man.
7:14
SPEAKER_00: Uh, sorry, deep dive into my psyche and my obsession with food.
7:19
SPEAKER_00: Uh, anyway, we're talking about Kara.
7:21
SPEAKER_00: Kara's says she has a boy voice in the back of her head now to remind her that now she's a mom.
7:27
SPEAKER_00: She has to consider whether the man she's dating is gonna be good with kids.
7:32
SPEAKER_00: And that is definitely something to think about because she's got a three-year-old son.
7:35
SPEAKER_00: She wants someone with good grooming.
7:38
SPEAKER_00: She doesn't want someone icky.
7:40
SPEAKER_00: I mean, nobody wants someone who smells bad.
7:44
SPEAKER_00: So I think we can just eliminate that from the list.
7:47
SPEAKER_00: I I think hygiene is understood.
7:51
SPEAKER_00: Oh, awesome.
7:52
SPEAKER_00: Razvan is here.
7:53
SPEAKER_00: Do you remember Razvan?
7:55
SPEAKER_00: Razvan of Razvan and Amanda from he was from Romania.
8:00
SPEAKER_00: She was the very recently widowed mother of two or three kids.
8:06
SPEAKER_00: She she carried that box of her late husband's ashes around.
8:13
SPEAKER_00: She called it Daddy's box.
8:15
SPEAKER_00: Anyway, Razvan's here.
8:18
SPEAKER_00: He's going with the narrative that he was a nerdy kid.
8:24
SPEAKER_00: He wants someone to embrace his weirdness and goofiness.
8:27
SPEAKER_00: He says, I look like James Bond, but I'm the weird one in the group.
8:32
SPEAKER_00: And the truth is, this is one of those hot people.
8:38
SPEAKER_00: I mean, he's very muscular.
8:43
SPEAKER_00: And he is very conventionally attractive.
8:48
SPEAKER_00: But Rosvon is one of those hot people who uses the concept of nerdiness to make themselves approachable and endearing.
8:58
SPEAKER_00: And I hate it.
9:00
SPEAKER_00: Stop stealing our nerdiness.
9:03
SPEAKER_00: I gotta move on.
9:04
SPEAKER_00: Do you remember Britney?
9:07
SPEAKER_00: Of course.
9:08
SPEAKER_00: Brittany and her man from Jordan.
9:11
SPEAKER_00: What was his name?
9:12
SPEAKER_00: I had it written down, and now I can't find it.
9:17
SPEAKER_00: They were in season two of 90 Day the other way.
9:21
SPEAKER_00: And then she went on to be in the first season of Single Life.
9:25
SPEAKER_00: Okay, Brittany was under extreme pressure to marry that guy in Jordan.
9:34
SPEAKER_00: And she was trying to push a longer engagement.
9:38
SPEAKER_00: His family thought that was shameful.
9:40
SPEAKER_00: He's extremely conservative family.
9:43
SPEAKER_00: His father, Yazen, that's his name.
9:46
SPEAKER_00: His father was going to not just disown Yazen.
9:52
SPEAKER_00: His brother warned him his family was so upset at her bikini photos on Instagram.
9:58
SPEAKER_00: His dad was gonna have Yazen murdered.
10:01
SPEAKER_00: He's okay.
10:02
SPEAKER_00: He's okay.
10:03
SPEAKER_00: I just want to clarify he's okay.
10:05
SPEAKER_00: Did not get murdered.
10:06
SPEAKER_00: They did break up.
10:07
SPEAKER_00: Yazen went on to appear in a few episodes of Pillow Talk, alongside the MVP of translators, whose name I also cannot remember, but he's doing okay.
10:16
SPEAKER_00: He's doing okay.
10:17
SPEAKER_00: Brittany no longer has braces.
10:20
SPEAKER_00: She looks different and yet the same, uh, but more amazing.
10:25
SPEAKER_00: She was always beautiful, but she looks amazing.
10:30
SPEAKER_00: She says she loves Puerto Rico because one of her memories of Puerto Rico is she's hooking up with this guy and she did a cartwheel and landed on his dick.
10:40
SPEAKER_00: Okay, yeah, that would be a core memory for me.
10:44
SPEAKER_00: She's like, hi, I miss you.
10:46
SPEAKER_00: Uh Brittany says her dating life is messy AF.
10:49
SPEAKER_00: She's dated NFL players, NBA players.
10:52
SPEAKER_00: And by the way, NBA players will spoil you more than NFL players, but the NBA players are whores.
11:03
SPEAKER_00: Her words, not mine.
11:05
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
11:07
SPEAKER_00: Okay, next we have Chloe.
11:10
SPEAKER_00: Chloe, also from the other way.
11:14
SPEAKER_00: I think she might be the MVP of this whole season.
11:20
SPEAKER_00: I love her.
11:24
SPEAKER_00: Chloe says she has a lingering trauma from her last relationship, which ended about a year ago.
11:31
SPEAKER_00: She has a lot of walls up.
11:33
SPEAKER_00: And she tells us there will be no men in flip-flops.
11:37
SPEAKER_00: Chloe, Cara, and Jamal, Britney, that's who we've met so far.
11:41
SPEAKER_00: They are going to the Festival de l'Amour.
11:44
SPEAKER_00: A little bit on the nose there.
11:46
SPEAKER_00: In addition to the 90-day people we see at this beach party.
11:52
SPEAKER_00: We have a whole bunch of normies that we don't know.
11:55
SPEAKER_00: We meet Haley, Kay, Erica, Brian.
12:01
SPEAKER_00: Jamal is very excited about all the beautiful women that are gonna be here for three weeks.
12:06
SPEAKER_00: He says, I was trying to count all the hot girls, and I lost count.
12:10
SPEAKER_00: I ran out of hands.
12:11
SPEAKER_00: Um, oh, we also meet Cowboy Landon, Paola.
12:17
SPEAKER_00: Kara and Jamal see each other and give each other a big, big hug.
12:21
SPEAKER_00: Apparently, Jamal collaborated with Kara in one of her sexy music videos.
12:24
SPEAKER_00: I don't know, I don't know anything about Kara's videos, but okay.
12:30
SPEAKER_00: We see a little clip of the video, it sort of make me cringe, and I don't want to talk about that anymore.
12:37
SPEAKER_00: We also meet Skyler, one of the other normies.
12:40
SPEAKER_00: He's a cutie.
12:42
SPEAKER_00: Um, Jamal sees Chloe and he knows her name.
12:45
SPEAKER_00: She does not know Jamal, and she's a little freaked out that he knows her name.
12:50
SPEAKER_00: Jamal says, uh, he feels like the creepy guy at the class reunion.
12:53
SPEAKER_00: He knows everything about everybody.
12:54
SPEAKER_00: He's an encyclopedic knowledge of 90-day universe.
12:59
SPEAKER_00: Um, when Brittany walks into the party, she's immediately greeted by one of the normies called Malik.
13:06
SPEAKER_00: He tells us, in no uncertain terms, that he is a million percent interested.
13:13
SPEAKER_00: He said, This pretty brown skinned thing walked in and she is all woman.
13:19
SPEAKER_00: Pretty smile, beautiful lips, pools of honey for eyes.
13:24
SPEAKER_00: I just want to see what she's talking about immediately.
13:27
SPEAKER_00: He tells us he has a big heart, a big spirit, and also a very large phallus.
13:34
SPEAKER_00: When was the last time somebody used the word phallus without being ironic?
13:41
SPEAKER_00: Brittany does not know everybody from the 90-day universe, and for that I applaud her.
13:46
SPEAKER_00: So when she sees Chloe, she thinks to herself, why is this little girl her here?
13:51
SPEAKER_00: Did you check her ID?
13:53
SPEAKER_00: One of the normies, Erica, is apparently immediately attracted to Rosvon.
14:00
SPEAKER_00: And like everybody else, I want to scream through the TV to run away as fast as you can.
14:06
SPEAKER_00: And then, and then who shows up to the party?
14:13
SPEAKER_00: It's none other than Emma.
14:16
SPEAKER_00: Emma from before the 90 Day season eight.
14:18
SPEAKER_00: You know.
14:19
SPEAKER_00: Emma and Zed from Morocco, the one with the wig, and so much filler, and the whining and the beep.
14:28
SPEAKER_00: Why, why, why, why?
14:31
SPEAKER_00: There are so many people in the 90-day universe who should be in therapy instead of being on one of these shows.
14:37
SPEAKER_00: Emma's gotta be in recent memory in the top five.
14:41
SPEAKER_00: And I'm not saying she's severely mentally ill or anything, she just really needs to do some deep soul searching and realize she doesn't need to be so desperate.
14:51
SPEAKER_00: Definitely at not at such an age or any age.
14:55
SPEAKER_00: She tells us every time I meet a boy, it goes downhill very fast.
15:02
SPEAKER_00: What is the common denominator here for Emma?
15:07
SPEAKER_00: Jamal tells us Emma's definitely his type, but she's been hooking up with his best friend, Rob.
15:16
SPEAKER_00: Rob, also of the 90-day universe.
15:19
SPEAKER_00: This is just an incestuous big family of misfits.
15:29
SPEAKER_00: But we're not done introducing people.
15:32
SPEAKER_00: We have a major blast from the past.
15:35
SPEAKER_00: Stephen of Steven and Olga.
15:38
SPEAKER_00: Stephen met and married Olga from Russia.
15:42
SPEAKER_00: Remember that's crazy hospital where she had the baby.
15:47
SPEAKER_00: So they hooked up.
15:48
SPEAKER_00: She got pregnant like immediately when she was visiting the U.S.
15:52
SPEAKER_00: So he goes to Russia to be with her.
15:55
SPEAKER_00: She gives birth in this hospital that was like from a horror movie.
16:03
SPEAKER_00: And then the worst came later because after the baby was born, I remember watching in complete horror at how unbelievably selfish Steven behaved after the baby was born.
16:17
SPEAKER_00: I think he was even exploring the idea of leaving the country with the baby and not Olga.
16:23
SPEAKER_00: It was so crazy.
16:25
SPEAKER_00: But he was just very resentful that she wasn't paying enough attention to him.
16:30
SPEAKER_00: And to him I say, I hope you have grown up.
16:36
SPEAKER_00: He tells us he has grown up a lot since then.
16:39
SPEAKER_00: He's had to grow up.
16:40
SPEAKER_00: He now has two kids.
16:42
SPEAKER_00: He says he's been working on himself.
16:45
SPEAKER_00: I recall Stephen seeming like he had deep, deep anger issues.
16:53
SPEAKER_00: Right now, I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
16:58
SPEAKER_00: Um, but that's not the most shocking.
17:00
SPEAKER_00: The most shocking addition to this cast is Michael.
17:06
SPEAKER_00: Mackle of Mackle and Angela.
17:10
SPEAKER_00: He walks into the party.
17:12
SPEAKER_00: Everybody loses their collective mind grapes.
17:17
SPEAKER_00: How many seasons was he together with Angela?
17:24
SPEAKER_00: Michael literally had to leave in the dead of night to escape Angela.
17:34
SPEAKER_00: And I'm gonna say, Michael, after everything you went through, you deserve to stay in this country for as long as you like.
17:47
SPEAKER_00: Every moment with Angela is one moment too many.
17:51
SPEAKER_00: As you recall, Michael's from Nigeria.
17:56
SPEAKER_00: Was on many seasons with the much older Angela.
18:02
SPEAKER_00: I think at one time I do believe that he did love her and she loved him at one time, but the abuse was so hard to watch.
18:14
SPEAKER_00: He literally picked up his backpack and left in the middle of the night, surfaced two years later in Houston because he literally had to hide from her.
18:24
SPEAKER_00: Now he's 38 and he's been divorced officially for a couple of weeks now.
18:31
SPEAKER_00: I feel like that took forever.
18:34
SPEAKER_00: He looks big.
18:36
SPEAKER_00: He looks a lot stronger.
18:38
SPEAKER_00: He looks healthy.
18:40
SPEAKER_00: He says he's been working out every day.
18:42
SPEAKER_00: The only thing that hasn't changed is he's looking for a woman with big boobs and a big butt.
18:48
SPEAKER_00: He and Brittany actually have been hanging out in Houston, so she's really pumped to see him.
18:54
SPEAKER_00: Michael tells us I don't think she knows I have a crush on her.
18:58
SPEAKER_00: I mean, don't we all?
19:02
SPEAKER_00: Then we meet the relationship coaches.
19:07
SPEAKER_00: Tanya is back and Brandon, I don't think Brandon was there last time.
19:13
SPEAKER_00: I don't remember.
19:14
SPEAKER_00: Don't remember the guy.
19:15
SPEAKER_00: I do remember Tanya.
19:17
SPEAKER_00: I hope we get more organized workshops and some consistency, more so than we had last year.
19:24
SPEAKER_00: Last year, I felt like the show was not even trying to find its footing.
19:30
SPEAKER_00: I mean, this is still gonna be chaos.
19:32
SPEAKER_00: This is still Puerto Rico bang trip.
19:35
SPEAKER_00: But Tanya goes around to everyone in the group and hands them all necklaces.
19:39
SPEAKER_00: During this little festival de la mort, this mixer on the beach, you hand your necklace to somebody as a way of saying you want to get to know them better.
19:53
SPEAKER_00: And you don't have to give your necklace back to the person who gave you their necklace.
19:56
SPEAKER_00: Emma is talking to a cute boy in the purple shirt.
20:00
SPEAKER_00: His name is JT.
20:01
SPEAKER_00: Kara sees them talking and says, That's my type.
20:06
SPEAKER_00: So she goes over very boldly while he's talking to Emma and gives him her necklace.
20:14
SPEAKER_00: Uh, then she comes to regret it because she finds out he's 17 uh he's 27.
20:20
SPEAKER_00: And she had been in a marriage with a younger man, so she's thinking, I'm in a different place.
20:27
SPEAKER_00: Probably thinking he's not ready to be in a relationship with somebody who has a three and a half-year-old child.
20:33
SPEAKER_00: Brittany, meanwhile, is admiring Erica.
20:36
SPEAKER_00: By the way, Britney tells us she's identifies as bisexual.
20:39
SPEAKER_00: Good for her.
20:40
SPEAKER_00: She gives Erica her necklace.
20:41
SPEAKER_00: Erica's straight but she's intrigued.
20:45
SPEAKER_00: And I kind of feel like maybe Britney should have asked if Erica was a little bisexual or fluid at all.
20:54
SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
20:55
SPEAKER_00: Michael's talking to Iris, who's cute as a button.
21:00
SPEAKER_00: She says she likes him because he's a little bit older than her.
21:04
SPEAKER_00: She says her ex was 57.
21:07
SPEAKER_00: Michael's like, I'm not an old man.
21:09
SPEAKER_00: I don't need Viagra.
21:12
SPEAKER_00: Which is funny.
21:13
SPEAKER_00: Because his previous marriage, Angela was 22 years older than him, and he says, I'm never going to do that again.
21:22
SPEAKER_00: We believe you.
21:24
SPEAKER_00: Erica gives her necklace to Razvan.
21:29
SPEAKER_00: Razvan, meanwhile, thinks Emma might be the one he wants to give his necklace to.
21:35
SPEAKER_00: Emma tells us she has been hooking up with Rob, but she wanted something more, and Rob just wasn't into anything more than hooking up.
21:44
SPEAKER_00: Are we shocked?
21:45
SPEAKER_00: No.
21:48
SPEAKER_00: She says now Jamal's looking even hotter than Rob.
21:52
SPEAKER_00: And more on that later.
21:54
SPEAKER_00: Chloe is hilarious.
21:55
SPEAKER_00: She says Rosvan is giving corporate corporate bro.
22:00
SPEAKER_00: I don't really know.
22:01
SPEAKER_00: I love how Chloe doesn't know the history of anybody in the 90-day universe, but she is social media friends with Emma.
22:09
SPEAKER_00: They follow each other, but this is the first time they've met in person.
22:14
SPEAKER_00: Chloe says she and I are complete opposites.
22:16
SPEAKER_00: She's very positive, and I am not.
22:18
SPEAKER_00: She's a hurricane of drama.
22:21
SPEAKER_00: And I just hope we don't end up competing for the same guy because it will not end well on her behalf.
22:28
SPEAKER_00: So unfortunately, we need to talk about Emma because there is so much drama during this whole necklace party.
22:34
SPEAKER_00: She gives her necklace to Jamal and pretty much talks him into giving her his necklace.
22:43
SPEAKER_00: And then she's like, give me a kiss.
22:45
SPEAKER_00: And he's like, Uh, not now.
22:47
SPEAKER_00: She's like, Are you scared of me?
22:49
SPEAKER_00: And then she goes over to Razvan and he gives her his necklace.
22:53
SPEAKER_00: But he's wondering about why she swapped necklaces with Jamal.
22:57
SPEAKER_00: And she's like, Oh, I'm sorry.
22:58
SPEAKER_00: And she gives him a hug, and it feels very fake.
23:01
SPEAKER_00: The way that she just makes everybody hug her.
23:10
SPEAKER_00: She's like, Emma is with your boy.
23:13
SPEAKER_00: And he's like, Well, not currently.
23:15
SPEAKER_00: And she's like, But she's been with your boy.
23:18
SPEAKER_00: And she says, That speaks to your her character, and the fact that you reciprocated speaks to your character.
23:25
SPEAKER_00: And now Jamal is second-guessing himself because he wants to give his necklace to Erica, but she already gave her necklace away.
23:32
SPEAKER_00: So he's rethinking everything.
23:34
SPEAKER_00: So he goes up to Erica.
23:36
SPEAKER_00: He's like, What's going on with you and Rosvan?
23:38
SPEAKER_00: She's like, Well, he was the only person talking to me.
23:41
SPEAKER_00: You are running around.
23:42
SPEAKER_00: He's like, Well, I wanted to talk to you, but you were occupied.
23:46
SPEAKER_00: Erica tells us, Well, I liked your mom, but we didn't connect.
23:49
SPEAKER_00: Maybe I should have given him my necklace.
23:52
SPEAKER_00: He's like, Oh, hold on, I'm gonna go get my necklace back.
23:55
SPEAKER_00: She's like, Really?
23:57
SPEAKER_00: She goes with him.
23:59
SPEAKER_00: He goes to Emma, gets his necklace back, and he says, like, are you gonna get yours back for Rosfunds?
24:07
SPEAKER_00: She's like, I don't know, should we?
24:08
SPEAKER_00: So they both get their necklaces back and then give it to each other.
24:15
SPEAKER_00: This is nuts.
24:17
SPEAKER_00: Emma's really upset by this, and I guess I would be too, and she's like, but I think she's more upset because she doesn't even know who Erica is.
24:24
SPEAKER_00: She says, like, bitch, who are you?
24:28
SPEAKER_00: Emma, you are not the superstar.
24:30
SPEAKER_00: You're not the main character.
24:32
SPEAKER_00: This definitely speaks to her character.
24:36
SPEAKER_00: This speaks to who she thinks she is.
24:38
SPEAKER_00: Now, I agree that it's crappy to give your necklace away and then give it back.
24:42
SPEAKER_00: I don't love it.
24:43
SPEAKER_00: But this is a stupid game.
24:46
SPEAKER_00: Emma is taking it to the next level though.
24:49
SPEAKER_00: She's just like, I could kill both of them.
24:51
SPEAKER_00: Girl, calm yourself.
24:53
SPEAKER_00: It was rude, but calm yourself.
24:56
SPEAKER_00: So of course Emma makes a huge scene.
24:59
SPEAKER_00: Erica's like, is this your boyfriend?
25:01
SPEAKER_00: Emma's like, please.
25:03
SPEAKER_00: And then she's accusing Jamal of being disrespectful.
25:06
SPEAKER_00: I love that Chloe's just standing there, mouth agape, while Razvan is talking to Emma about how she's being very touchy-feely with Jamal and he didn't like that.
25:15
SPEAKER_00: So Emma's choice of words once again are so interesting.
25:18
SPEAKER_00: She says, he was disrespecting me with a girl I don't even know.
25:25
SPEAKER_00: So here's the thing with Emma: if you're not in the 90-day universe, you ain't shit to her.
25:31
SPEAKER_00: She thinks this is some kind of elite club.
25:35
SPEAKER_00: She doesn't realize, oh no, this is not an elite club.
25:41
SPEAKER_00: Rosvan tells her, your behaving like this is really turning me off, and he takes his necklace back from her, also.
25:50
SPEAKER_00: Emma said, two necklaces taken away from her now.
25:55
SPEAKER_00: Chloe comments that yeah, she thinks that's that's pretty wrong, but she's had enough of the Jamal and Emma drama and they need to grow up.
26:04
SPEAKER_00: She says the real problem is everyone's getting a necklace before me, and I don't love it.
26:09
SPEAKER_00: But she is talking to Brian, the NFL player, and they look real cute together.
26:14
SPEAKER_00: I see a little chemistry.
26:16
SPEAKER_00: Then Brian gives her his necklace, and it's real cute.
26:20
SPEAKER_00: Chloe says she also keeps seeing this guy land in with a cowboy hat.
26:24
SPEAKER_00: She says, I like a cowboy.
26:26
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
26:27
SPEAKER_00: Warning, warning, you fell for a pirate in your past life.
26:31
SPEAKER_00: Do not go for a cowboy now.
26:34
SPEAKER_00: This is a cartoon character.
26:36
SPEAKER_00: You're going for cartoon characters.
26:38
SPEAKER_00: Pirate and now cowboy.
26:40
SPEAKER_00: She says she likes a cowboy because they walk like this, and she kind of does this.
26:45
SPEAKER_00: The walk like a muscly beach guy, like the one from Sponge.
26:50
SPEAKER_00: Like the one from SpongeBob.
26:52
SPEAKER_00: Larry the lobster.
26:54
SPEAKER_00: She walks like Larry the Lobster.
26:56
SPEAKER_00: She's demonstrating how cowboys walk.
27:01
SPEAKER_00: So Land and the cowboys talk under her, and he's like, if you look at me in a mirror, that's who I want to date.
27:09
SPEAKER_00: She's like, So you want to date yourself?
27:10
SPEAKER_00: He's like, no, like you're looking into a mirror, dummy.
27:14
SPEAKER_00: Okay, I found that whole exchange very funny and charming.
27:18
SPEAKER_00: Emma comes over and she's like, Who's this?
27:19
SPEAKER_00: Night to meet you.
27:20
SPEAKER_00: She butts in to this conversation with Chloe, and she says to Chloe, Why do you have three necklaces?
27:27
SPEAKER_00: She's like, Oh, there's two, there's two.
27:30
SPEAKER_00: One's from Brian, one's from Landon.
27:33
SPEAKER_00: So, and she still has the one that she hasn't given hers away yet.
27:36
SPEAKER_00: And and Emma, I am very suspicious of why she's sticking her nose in all of this.
27:44
SPEAKER_00: Anyway, Emma says she feels disrespected.
27:48
SPEAKER_00: And Jamal says it's day one, and you need to stop acting crazy.
27:55
SPEAKER_00: I don't like that either.
27:56
SPEAKER_00: But Emma walks away and is crying.
27:59
SPEAKER_00: Kara goes up to Jamal.
28:01
SPEAKER_00: Why is she crying?
28:01
SPEAKER_00: Jamal's like, I don't know.
28:03
SPEAKER_00: She's like, Yes, you do know.
28:04
SPEAKER_00: I'm like, yeah, you do know.
28:06
SPEAKER_00: I mean, we're not a fan of Emma in this house, but uh uh this is shitty, and I am not liking Jamal at all right now.
28:16
SPEAKER_00: Kara's like, I feel like I'm missing something.
28:18
SPEAKER_00: I look up and she's crying and she's coming off as a psycho.
28:21
SPEAKER_00: Rosvan, meanwhile, says Emma is fake as he's taking his necklace back from her and says that he feels like she was using Jamal to make Rosvan jealous.
28:34
SPEAKER_00: This is night one.
28:35
SPEAKER_00: I am done with all these people already.
28:40
SPEAKER_00: Michael and Iris are still cute.
28:44
SPEAKER_00: They're exchanging a necklace.
28:46
SPEAKER_00: Stephen makes a funny.
28:48
SPEAKER_00: He says, He would have thought Michael would have preferred somebody with more maturity, more wrinkles.
28:54
SPEAKER_00: Stephen walks up and gives Iris his necklace, also.
28:57
SPEAKER_00: Chloe says the whole necklace thing that Jamal did to Emma was slimy.
29:03
SPEAKER_00: She says, Jamal's cute, but he's not Timothy Chalamet.
29:09
SPEAKER_00: Iris is a little put off by the fact that Michael is recently divorced.
29:15
SPEAKER_00: So she does not want to let him have a little peck on the cheek quite yet after he walks her back to her room.
29:25
SPEAKER_00: He is super embarrassed, but I mean, I think she's into him.
29:29
SPEAKER_00: He's just, you know, calm down.
29:31
SPEAKER_00: It's day one.
29:32
SPEAKER_00: You're gonna be here for three weeks.
29:33
SPEAKER_00: There's time yet, Michael.
29:35
SPEAKER_00: Landon walks Chloe home, and I don't know.
29:39
SPEAKER_00: Chloe says something about there's a lot of bugs here.
29:42
SPEAKER_00: He's like, so you're not a critter girl.
29:44
SPEAKER_00: She says, ick.
29:45
SPEAKER_00: I hate that word.
29:46
SPEAKER_00: It's on my ick list.
29:48
SPEAKER_00: He's like, what?
29:49
SPEAKER_00: She's like, you have a ick list on your phone, right?
29:52
SPEAKER_00: List of icks.
29:53
SPEAKER_00: He's like, no.
29:54
SPEAKER_00: She's like, he's like, give me an example.
29:56
SPEAKER_00: She's like, okay, so flip-flops.
29:58
SPEAKER_00: Flip-flops are at the top of her list.
30:02
SPEAKER_00: And she lists off other things in her talking head.
30:05
SPEAKER_00: The list is very long.
30:06
SPEAKER_00: Posting selfies?
30:08
SPEAKER_00: No.
30:09
SPEAKER_00: Ordering any type of cute coffee?
30:12
SPEAKER_00: Disgusting.
30:13
SPEAKER_00: Yawning?
30:14
SPEAKER_00: No.
30:16
SPEAKER_00: Weird suitcases.
30:19
SPEAKER_00: A nasty debit card.
30:23
SPEAKER_00: Weird water bottles at the gym.
30:25
SPEAKER_00: Like if you have your ex-girlfriend's water bottle or like a big jug?
30:30
SPEAKER_00: No.
30:31
SPEAKER_00: Two and one soaps.
30:34
SPEAKER_00: Does that mean face wash, body wash, combo?
30:36
SPEAKER_00: I agree with that.
30:37
SPEAKER_00: I don't I don't like that.
30:39
SPEAKER_00: Posting mob quotes.
30:42
SPEAKER_00: Producers like, uh, do you mean like from Scarface?
30:46
SPEAKER_00: And her face.
30:49
SPEAKER_00: She like puts her hand up to hide herself.
30:52
SPEAKER_00: Like, no, I don't I don't like that either.
30:57
SPEAKER_00: Landon goes in for a kiss on the cheek, and then she has another ick because she asked for a kiss on the right cheek.
31:03
SPEAKER_00: He gives her a kiss on the left cheek, and she realizes he doesn't know his right from his left.
31:09
SPEAKER_00: I think he does.
31:10
SPEAKER_00: I think he's just a little flaw mixed in the moment.
31:16
SPEAKER_00: He's nervous around her.
31:18
SPEAKER_00: Not that I think the cowboy is right for her.
31:20
SPEAKER_00: He's not.
31:22
SPEAKER_00: Oh, so everybody's back in the room, and Jamal evidently has Emma's number.
31:26
SPEAKER_00: And he gives her a call and says, we gotta move on from each other.
31:31
SPEAKER_00: We get another whiny talking head from Emma.
31:33
SPEAKER_00: I don't even want to touch it.
31:34
SPEAKER_00: The next morning, Emma and Chloe are looking for breakfast foods in the little kitchenette.
31:39
SPEAKER_00: There's eggs, there's bread, some meat.
31:42
SPEAKER_00: Emma's like, well, I don't like eggs.
31:43
SPEAKER_00: Chloe's like, okay, well, I'm not I'm not cooking for you.
31:48
SPEAKER_00: What is this?
31:49
SPEAKER_00: Love island?
31:50
SPEAKER_00: Everybody's cooking breakfast together in the morning?
31:54
SPEAKER_00: Chloe says, since she left, the pirate Johnny was it in Bermuda?
32:00
SPEAKER_00: Um her cooking skills are at a nine.
32:03
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
32:05
SPEAKER_00: So they are having trouble lighting the stove, and I think it's one of those gasos where you turn it and when you hear the click, you light it with the actual lit match.
32:14
SPEAKER_00: But nobody's bringing this up and it's making me crazy.
32:17
SPEAKER_00: But they hear the clicking and the fire is not coming on.
32:20
SPEAKER_00: So they recruit Brian to come help.
32:23
SPEAKER_00: He's wearing socks and sandals.
32:26
SPEAKER_00: Chloe says, Maybe I can stand socks and sandals because he's cute and muscly and helpful in the kitchen.
32:33
SPEAKER_00: So they decide to microwave the eggs.
32:36
SPEAKER_00: Somebody says, I guess I don't know, three minutes.
32:39
SPEAKER_00: Oh my god.
32:40
SPEAKER_00: Three minutes in the microwave.
32:42
SPEAKER_00: Come on, people.
32:44
SPEAKER_00: Chloe tells us in her talking head she didn't like the kiss on the cheek from Landon.
32:48
SPEAKER_00: It's giving poodle skirts.
32:53
SPEAKER_00: So they have this second impression workshop on the beach.
32:56
SPEAKER_00: So half the people choose a workshop and the other half can choose a pool party.
33:02
SPEAKER_00: At this workshop, people get a chance to make another impression if they feel weird about the impression they gave the night before.
33:10
SPEAKER_00: Rosvan decides he's going to pick Brittany to give another impression to.
33:17
SPEAKER_00: So they're dancing.
33:19
SPEAKER_00: They're pretending to meet at the bar and then dancing, and it's so much.
33:25
SPEAKER_00: And Chloe says, I feel like they're about to have sex right in front of me.
33:29
SPEAKER_00: Steven also tries this uh redo, and he is talking to Britney and then asking her to dance, and he blushes so severely that I cannot help but feel bad for him, and he has no charisma.
33:44
SPEAKER_00: So Chloe gets the chance to do another impression, and she chooses Rosvan and she says, I got word that I gave you the impression that I'm a mean girl.
33:54
SPEAKER_00: Rosvon says, Well, you just have kind of you're beautiful, but you have like a bitchy face.
34:01
SPEAKER_00: A face of someone who can cut you.
34:04
SPEAKER_00: She says, But I have a reason.
34:05
SPEAKER_00: Do you want to know my life story?
34:07
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna tell you anyway.
34:08
SPEAKER_00: She says, one time I moved to an island and I dated a pirate.
34:11
SPEAKER_00: He was a serial cheater, and that's why I'm insane.
34:15
SPEAKER_00: Chloe says to Rosvan, you kind of look like a pirate right now with your white t-shirt wrapped around your head.
34:21
SPEAKER_00: And he laughs.
34:24
SPEAKER_00: And so I overall successful second impression.
34:29
SPEAKER_00: But Chloe tells us in her talking head, I would never date Rosvan, but it was a productive workshop.
34:35
SPEAKER_00: People know now that I just look mean and miserable sometimes.
34:39
SPEAKER_00: Jamal picks Erica to do a second impression.
34:44
SPEAKER_00: And he apologizes.
34:46
SPEAKER_00: He says, I put you in a position you didn't deserve to be in.
34:48
SPEAKER_00: The real me is someone you should know.
34:51
SPEAKER_00: I care about my family.
34:53
SPEAKER_00: I took care of my grandma until she passed.
34:55
SPEAKER_00: I took care of my mom.
34:56
SPEAKER_00: I came here to grow and be a better person, and I'm sorry.
35:00
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
35:01
SPEAKER_00: Kara chose a pool party because she thinks a workshop is a little too much for day two, and she'd rather take in the sights of all the hot men and their bathing suits.
35:10
SPEAKER_00: Uh Skyler, who's my favorite Normy so far, I think, he's in the pool.
35:15
SPEAKER_00: He's asking, what does everybody fantasize about?
35:18
SPEAKER_00: Paola says beard, tattoos.
35:21
SPEAKER_00: Michael's just watching, doesn't really say too much.
35:23
SPEAKER_00: Emma shows up and Kara mumbles, Well, we know what my girl's fantasizing about because she crashed out already.
35:30
SPEAKER_00: Emma's like, What?
35:32
SPEAKER_00: Kara's like, I said you already fully crashed out, so we know who you're fantasizing about.
35:36
SPEAKER_00: Emma doesn't say anything at first, but then she pulls her for a chat later.
35:42
SPEAKER_00: And I actually like that Emma is bringing this up to explain things to Kara.
35:48
SPEAKER_00: You know, I heard you don't like me.
35:49
SPEAKER_00: Kara's like, I don't know you.
35:51
SPEAKER_00: Emma's like, um, yeah, exactly.
35:53
SPEAKER_00: Kara's like, well, based on what I saw, you're messy.
35:56
SPEAKER_00: Emma's like, I know I acted crazy last night.
35:58
SPEAKER_00: Kara's like, yeah, crying on the first night is crazy.
36:03
SPEAKER_00: Emma says, I knew Jamal was gonna be here.
36:06
SPEAKER_00: And she tells Kara, Jamal and I had drinks together before we came to Puerto Rico and we hooked up two days ago.
36:16
SPEAKER_00: Kara's freaking out.
36:18
SPEAKER_00: She's like, knowing that you've been with his boy, meaning Rob, it's not very thoughtful.
36:26
SPEAKER_00: Emma tells us she thinks that Jamal enjoyed every single second when they hooked up.
36:34
SPEAKER_00: She says, I think he's falling for me, and he doesn't know it yet.
36:39
SPEAKER_00: He's mine, bitches.
36:41
SPEAKER_00: And that is how they end the show.
36:44
SPEAKER_00: What a way to end the first episode.
36:49
SPEAKER_00: And I'm kind of already over, Emma and Jamal.
36:53
SPEAKER_00: I kind of want both of them to just grow up a little bit and move on.
36:58
SPEAKER_00: And I have a feeling we're not gonna see much of that.
37:02
SPEAKER_00: And that is the show for today.
37:06
SPEAKER_00: Please share, tell your friends who are also reality addicts, refer them to my show.
37:14
SPEAKER_00: Please hit five stars on Apple and Spotify.
37:18
SPEAKER_00: That's all I have for today.
37:20
SPEAKER_00: Thank you for listening.
37:22
SPEAKER_00: I will see you soon.
