Love in the Wild Recap: Another Beginning


And Jesse seems to have had a moment with Ali we all missed. Most stick with what they have but Tairhead is stoked to get another chance and she grabs Jesse as the only person she didn’t talk to. Odd choice but I think she is unimpressed with the selection. There may be hope for her after all. Shauna trusts her zombie instincts and stays with a bevested Ryan. He actually seems like the straightest guy ever but must have a gay bff in San Fran that helped him shop for this show. Ali swaps to the show’s best storyline, Chase the marine. Actually a great choice.

She only made the one though

We end with slow-motion montages of the more memorable guys being sent home. Slow motion. Montages. Of characters for whom we barely can remember names. Its so over the top I have to think its intentionally hilarious. God bless good editors.

Overall the drama and sluttiness was pretty low. I blame a generation wise to the perils of social media and aware of the  permanence of on-video antics. Next week I suspect the new crop of girls will come in and the guys will take a little more advantage of their edge.

Nope, still older

 What did you think gasmii? Will a respectable network like NBC allow the antics that we want to see? Will someone find love?? Does this show make you want to drink by a pool as much as me???

MrsMiaWallace is an east coast girl with a  penchant for travel, libations and great cuisine. She is not known to turn down a mimosa or a martini and finds the transition between the two a good way to mark the passing of time since she can never remember to wear a watch. Her secret love for reality tv and addiction to Bravo have drawn her like a moth to the glittering snark of TVGasm,  where she finds there are others like her... hopefully also nursing Bloody Marys.

    YAY! I am so glad this show is being recapped. I cannot stand Jenny M – but was intrigued by the show. Reading your recaps are BETTER than watching the show – all the snark, none of the Jenny M’s voice!

    I agree that it is “Chase the Marine” show to lose. And I love Ginger Head girl. :)

    I give those girls props – cause there is no way in hell that anyone is lowering me down into a pit of hell with all those snakes!! I love this show and was glad to see it back this season. And better yet, awesome recap!

    I watched this show in its first season last year. The premise itself is fun, and the picturesque surroundings made it easy on the eyes (the nature shots were OK, too, hehe).
    The only thing that I thought was going to keep me from watching the next season, if it ever came, was the fricking Australian host. He was unbearable! I swear he made even that awesome, hot accent somehow annoying. So I was extatic to hear that there is a new host this time.
    Oh, s#it!!!! Beware what you wish for!
    I never suspected that anything could make me wish for that Aussie weirdo to come back, but ‘Jenny’ (I refuse to just call her that as a real name, it sounds like a stage prop or something; but then on her, probably only some stripper name would sound natural) – oh, yeah, she’s it.
    This bit@h’s voice is killing me!!! For the love of all that is good, WHO gave her this job? Did they not realize she was going to have TO TALK?!
    Mother of…, that constant screaching, that incessant ‘humor’ forcing, that delusion of remaining ‘hotness’ are f-ing pathetic.
    I shall from now on call her THE SHRILL. :)

    Polk8, am I correct in assuming that you’re not a huge fan of the host?

    It’s always difficult to know exactly how Polk8dot feels. Such a diplomat.

    Love the recap! I will look forward to it each week. My only “reality” guilty-pleasure was “The Apprentice”, so I’m happy to find this show to take its place. Perfectly summed up as being both less Disney yet less trashy as well. Thanks for the laughs…
    …Oh, and just for the record, Leo was actually cavorting in the pool in his UNDERWEAR, not a Speedo in Episode 1. (Note how they had to blur his package, as his little underpants showed a bit too much when wet – Ugh!)

    Ah, see, I’m a sucker for southern princesses, so that pretty much says it all. There’s something off about most of the other girls’ faces — especially Summer (and her boy hips) and the Monkey Girl, but the Argentinean girl too. The redhead seems kind of frumpy — she’s covering up. But at least her tits seem real.

    The guys are just your typical slab-0-beef reality Ken dolls.

    Also, Jenny McCarthy may be annoying but she at least a bit more animated than the soulless stiff they had last season.

    I watched this show last year and it was my guilty pleasure. I didn’t find the host as annoying as the commentor above and was dismayed to find Jenny McCarthy now center stage – she’s awful. I do think it’s much more interesting than all of the other “dating/love shows” because it shows situations where you have to count on your partner and it doesn’t sugar-coat the results. Last year there were some actual friendships/relationships that developed, according to Jenny, are still going. So for all of you newbies – enjoy!
