Recap: Love in the Wild: What’s Love Got To Do With It?

Now they have to dig in the sand for chests and Yanina again proves MVP by finding it immediately. Discovering, liberating and lugging a big chest around is no easy feat. Cockney could’ve told them that. Ken tries to regain his masculinity and carries the apparently heavy chest the whole way on his neck. Yanina kisses him and is impressed by his show of masculinity.

Atlas slugged

JuggyCock too find the chest. Frankly I don’t see any strategy involved, it looks like you just dig around the sand til you find one. Summer and Chase show up and find one immediately as well. Producers anyone? Now its a race to the finish with Chase and Cockney both hauling chests toward Jenny. Summer and Chase are last!!! Jenny M last week called Ryan, “Ben”, and this week she evens the score by calling Ben,  ”Ken”. Maybe someone should hand her a cast list.

This is Chase, you can tell by the disappointed look on Summer’s face

The perenially happy Cocky Juggs are fine with coming in second. In fact, Juggs said she takes a number two all day long. No wonder she likes Ben, who hasn’t met a jungle yet he doesn’t need to take a dump in.

Elimination challenge

Summer is disappointed. At this stage, coming in last seems like a death warrant during elimination. Given that an extra couple went home last week I’m thinking we may be in good shape to keep all three though. Or even bring a few back! I am not rooting for anyone in particular though.

“Lol”

Ken and his collection of pink shirts are delighted to finally have the Oasis with Yanina. They are rhapsodizing about each other and it’s pretty sweet. I will not take that away from them. And for once we have a couple who seem to want to luxuriate and show off the full Oasis experience. They even dress up for a sit-down dinner together. Date night at the Oasis!

The man does cut a great figure. Not even an insult. I’m seriously complimenting Ken!

Now given the joy of the actual Oasis, as opposed to last week’s ghetto porch-spa, they retire to a secluded cabana to enjoy the night breezes wrapped in towels. Ken is oddly bandaged up and did he recently have his toes painted? Yanina’s really getting a lot of milage out of this “spa day” stuff. Given that this ‘cabana’ looks suspiciously like the dreaded lean-to, I think this might have just been a vanity shot for the montage that will roll when these two either win or are booted off.

A comfortable and natural position in which to stare at the fascinating nightscape off-camera

Too bad Ralph Lauren already found his new ad campaign with the classy and beautiful (and neurotic, but in a nonthreatening way), Ginger.

This is how you give good faux candid

It’s not so sad outside the Oasis, even losers now get cabins, so Yay no lean-to and no tents! But there is no joy in who-ville. Summer Loo Who is shocked that her infallible Marine coupling plan backfired. She really can’t believe the weak-willed and weak-minded Cockney and Ken are proving to be better mates. Yanina would probably advise Summer to walk a mile in her shoes before feeling envy.

Don’t worry, Ken already stretched them out

Summer is now locked in with her chosen mate, and the realization makes her exhibit a never before seen pouty, bitchy, take-it-out-on-Chase attitude. I get that she’s frustrated but this guy was dumped by a terrorist dammit! And he seems so sad and is trying so hard. Also. He is hot.

The world’s saddest soldier
