S01.E02: As Solid as the Rock of Gibraltar

The boat pulls into the impressive port of Gibraltar, where the new couples compete in their first challenge -- running up a mountain while truthfully answering personal questions about their romantic history.

I saw bits and pieces tonight while channel surfing.   The introduction of the new guy who was 25 and a male model cracked me up.  Specifically, his comment that when people learn he is a model they don't expect him to (pointing at his head) have "any substanance" was the funniest thing I've ever heard.  It reminded me of a guy I worked with who once told us he needed to "mow things over" before making a decision.  LOL.

So I guess the biggest question is what does it mean that the guy that left is unwell?  Lol

I don't believe he had health issues.  I think he realized this was not for him and bailed.

Enjoying seeing more of the ship.  By the way, those Gibraltar apes are no laughing matter (they are quite aggressive).  I was in Gibraltar in March and due to the rain storm they closed all access to the top.  Is dinner at the Captain's table (during which the Captain leaves after about 5 minutes) really that great of a prize?

I felt bad for the girl left behind though... she is one of them I like and seems like she deserved an option to go on (other than the new guy that is clearly a flake, lol!)

When the girl was shading him for having "only" 5 lovers and him not being interested in the fantasy suite right away, yeah, he was definitely on the wrong show!😎😏

We wondered about that also.  It would take a pretty serious health issue to not continue.  We did wonder about COVID as well.  I wonder if the girl (sorry don't know names yet) will try to look him up IRL.

I don't think he was into Brooke once she said she liked dogs more than kids and he wanted kids.  i think that was another reason he bailed.
