I hope Marshall has gotten over Jackie -- he seems to like Chay. 

And now I see why Chelsea has the energy she does. Her family is --Whoo! Loud and way too energetic. They do seem to love each other, however. 

Kwame's sister! I love her, and I'm glad she and Chelsea are still close. It was great to see her and the brother at dinner. And Kwame's story about seeing his mother for the first time after several years was very touching. I wonder why his mother didn't immediately hug him and say, "My baby. I haven't seen you in so long." Why did Kwame have to "figure out" that the woman at the airport was his mother?

Okay, I thought Chelsea and Kwame took jabs at each other. Jackie and Josh are downright nasty to each other. I know it's supposed to be playful, but it comes across as mean. Especially Josh's comments.

Chelsea's family has huge feminine energy.  I thought her dress was cute and her earring game remains strong.

I love Tiff being hype man for Brett "Have you seen how this man looks on tv?  This man is chiseled!"

I am sorry, but I still can't stand Jackie.  Everything about her seems to be about convincing us all that Josh is such a glow up over Marshall.  She and Josh still give me weird vibes.  And that apartment is 100% not to my taste.  It looks so soulless. 

And yeah... this is just a little flag football pick up game.  Sure it is.  When we do it we have different color flags and play in a pubic park.  They have team jerseys, an actual Flag on a flag pole, and are playing on a regulation football field. 

The contrast between Tiff and Brett being hailed as the Queen and King when they arrive but the crickets and durp-durp music when Jackie and Josh come in was funny.

This story was told from his perspective - ie. some women he didn't know grabbed him and started hugging him. I'm sure that wasn't how she responded, especially since she is very much a traditional African mom. I think its safe to say there was a lot of hugging, kissing, blessings being offered up and the like.

I was more hung up on the fact that he didn't get the Jollof rice until he got to the US?  Wasn't he coming from Ghana?  Or did I miss something.  How did he not get any while he was there? I thought it was  a staple of the diet.
