But how did you like her flea market outfit? Ingi said it was “stunning” but I think he was just stunned that she thought she looked good.

TataTears' mom: You shouldn't cry over your problems!
TataTears: Hold my beer.
James: I moved to another country and clearly have not done a damn bit of research about the culture and lifestyle. I had 5 years to learn Indonesian, but I'll just make TataTears catch me up on it later, if I remember. Or care.

Holy crap, Dempsey didn't get a run-through on the electric and heating on the van before she drove off? She's really lucky that previous owner rang her back. 😳 She seems capable and could probably have figured it out with a google seearch, but jeez. And I guess I'm confused about the 'plan' - are they just driving around and Statler's going to try and get a hotspot so she can work?

As someone who has been to Reykjavík in the winter, walking out in cut-out clothing is a nope. And putrefied shark isn't awful - you really just can't smell it as you're popping it in your mouth. I ate a whole sealed bag of it that I picked up from a market and liked it (I will eat anything, clearly). I'm just really glad to hear Ingi say "I love you" to Corona. Does he know what that actually means, or is he just following his weiner around? 😳

I honestly do not know what to think about Josh and Lily. Josh seems like he's damaged enough to not want to go back home and is therefore stuck there until Lily kicks his ass out.

Joanne: Listen, people elope ALL the time.
Uh, but typically ya tell other people shortly thereafter - NOT TWO YEARS LATER. Her mother gets to lord this over her until she puts both feet in the grave and I'm here for it. 😂

Shekky appears to be quite unfortunate…I’ll leave it at that.  She must be incredibly desperate and stubborn.

Corona loves using the term "partner". It doesn't sound normal to me, but I I'm not sure what I wanted to hear instead.

"I'm soft partnering" or "I've never met a partner's parents" sounds off to me.

How would anyone here share this same info?

Well, no, but I thought she was going to schlep over to meet the parents in that plunging v-neck onesie with her flattened breast creases shouting howdy.

I am now really enjoying the Ingi + Corona segments.  He's just a big good-natured doof whose dial goes from 0-3 and every time he opens his mouth, Corona's eyes narrow and sparks shoot out.  Fun times!

I heaved a huge sigh of relief that the Turkish guy and the woman with too much plastic surgery called it quits with a minimum of bloodshed.

But that's not going to be the end, is it?  🙄

Statler, you seem at least moderately self-aware.  Does driving around in your van/home/office seem like a thing you'd ever be comfortable with?

What's that guy's name in Thailand?  My primary feeling toward him is:  GFY.  There seems to be no one in his entire life he has not let down, including the dog.

It’s James and he’s in Indonesia.

 I was looking for any discussion of Josh and Lily.

They could win for most unlikely couple.

Does Josh ping anyone else's gaydar?

I don't know if that is the issue but he sure seems to be " not straightforward or transparent" and just Over The Top Controlling.

But I do find them interesting to watch so there's that.
