Love in the Wild Recap: Loving Power

Summer and Chase are tackling the cliff face, and Chase seems to descend a lot more gingerly than Ken did. It almost seems like that monkey scrambling of Yanina’s has worn off on Ken and conversely, Chase has been undermined so much by Summer at this point that his confidence is eroded, but according to the editing these two are now in the lead. It’s alcove time bitches!

Ok, that is seriously high

Ben and Juggs are second after grabbing the cliff map. It is pretty hard to really know though because every task is completely isolated. Kenina is really struggling in the cave despite being last to rifle through the misleading scrolls. There’s my theory down the drain! After what either was or wasn’t edited to seem like a long, fruitless search Yanina is getting frantic and Ken sits down to reread the instructions. It’s possible this isn’t a bad idea but I am laughing when Yanina says “Ken sits down and starts reading the newspaper over there”. Stop writing my captions for me Yanina!

“What are Jeffy and PJ up to today??”

In a matter of minutes, Yanina pulls out the correct scroll and now all the teams are off for the beach. Summer and Chase being “first” we see them enter the water and the way Summer dives in reminds me that she is a champion swimmer. This may work out well for them.

OK, it may not translate to still images, but she seriously glides into water like a dolphin

They find the right alcove and the map and return as Cockney and Juggs head out. Ben’s temperament has not been cooled in the water and while he is fiddling around in the wrong area, Michelle just stops babying him and arguing and follows her instincts to the right alcove and retrieves the map. Even then he is yelling instructions and calling her a donut (now I’m guessing not a term of endearment?) and she’s just about had it. They bleep her as she chucks the map at him.

“I found something you’re gonna wanttttt…”

“…Asshole”

Summer and Chase discover the last challenge is to go to a banana plantation where they need to dig up a chest filled with ‘gold bars’ to bring back. The impression I got was that there were three chests but only one had ‘gold bars’? I think it’s just the way Summer was saying “the” instead of “a”. Cocky Juggs are immediately behind them reading the map and heading off to search for the ‘gold’.

I’m guessing he’s only gonna find it if it’s in them thar hills

Kenina is last and pushing hard through the watery alcove challenge. And by “pushing hard” I mean Ken is basically just dragging her through the water.

“Swim goddam you”

“… or else”
