The gang flew to South Africa and Spencer, to my absolute delight, came out with ‘YHHH BOYY’! First time for 4 episodes! It has my night, my week and most probably my entire life. Spencer bequeathed (Big word for some of you) his animal and scientific knowledge to Phoebe as they watched the rhino’s taking a stroll. Swear I saw Victoria and Cheska roaming in the wild.
Jamie spent some time fishing and then Spencer came over, manipulated him and he took the bait (As soon as I saw Jamie fishing, I was so excited, I knew I could make a pun about bait). There was some tension between the two as Jamie said he wanted to pursue Lucy. Things came to a head when all of them were sitting down after listening to a rendition of an African song which I presume was called ‘Hello my friend’. Big tune by the way. Need to put it in next week’s soundtrack. Speaking of soundtracks, the one in this episode was brilliant I thought. It came out that Lucy would ‘choose’ Spencer over Jamie and gave a valid reason for it which I thought was fair enough. Jamie was hurt and threw his toys out the pram. Spencer just sat there grinning like a Cheshire cat. Idiot. Can’t even be bothered to write ‘Bro’s before Hoe’s. Spencer clearly doesn’t care about his BOYYYYYYYY.
The last part of the episode was fairly emotional (Honestly, I realise I do need to get a life). Was Jamie crying?! Was Jamie the BOYYYY actually crying?! I never knew a girl could do that to him. I felt so bad for him. I loved his cheekiness at the beginning of the episode. What a hero he was for kissing Lucy when she was asleep on the plane. Poor Jamie. Heartbreak for him. All of them have just messed each other about, I’m glad there was some honesty although that appears to go down the drain next week.
Other characters were also involved in this South Africa trip. It appears that Phoebe the Psychopath is now everyone’s best friend. To be honest, I felt a little bad for her when Alex comforted her earlier in the episode. It just transpired to me that perhaps she’d just gotten a little lost in life and just wanted someone to hug her. Alex was his usual suave self. He had the audacity to tell Binky that he had gone a little ‘rouge’ because of the sun. You know you’re arrogant when you switch from one language to the next just for one word. I would never do something like that and I can speak English and a little bit of Hindi.
Love when Andy went over to Vitalia who had bigger lips than Spencer’s psychotherapist. As soon as Stevie told him she had an ongoing thing with Spencer, Andy’s eyes lit up. He looked at her, raised his eyebrows and must have thought to himself, ‘I am going to smash that’. He took her on a date to a restaurant, she waited until the food had been delivered and then told him she didn’t eat in the evenings. Idiot. Jamie rung Proudlock and discovered this news which he took great delight in telling Spencer. The best part though was when Proudlock picked up the phone and Jamie comes out with ‘Yhhh Pruders BOYY’. It was said in a softer tone though. I liked that. On a separate but more brilliant note, how cool is Proudlock? Ended the conversation with ‘Alright man, peace’ and went back to posing for a naked photograph with Francis ‘The Skateboard’ Boulle. What an absolute hero.
There was also some action back home in Chelsea. Louise and the girls had their futures read which is a load of rubbish I think. I have inside knowledge that they had to cut out some of Louise’s scene as the tarot card reader said she would be involved with 15 different men. It was all going so well around the dinner table and then Cheska and Victoria had a falling out. We’ve never seen Victoria’s character develop but we saw more of her in this episode. Basically, she’s an absolute bitch. Louise had earlier been wearing some clothes for something Sophie was doing which seemed boring. She tried out a number of different looks, one of which was a poodle.Victoria showed her spiteful side when she said of Cheska ‘You don’t know her, she’s not relevant’. That was so, so cutting. I kind of felt bad for Cheska. Jokes, she is irrelevant.
Sam the loser continued his pursuit of Fran which came to an abrupt end. As if he thought he ever hada chance with her. I actually laughed when he looked disappointed. Also, there’s no chance Fran is just 5 years older than him. More like 305. Louise asked him how he has a high success rate. I think the question she needed to ask was ‘Why have you lied about having a high success rate’?
I’m getting a bit tired of the line that always, always, always starts with ‘It’s good that’ followed by ‘we get to hang out’ or ‘you guys are friends’. It’s dull and predictable. Sort it out.
Favourite Quote of the Episode:
Even though Sophie was talking about a hat:
‘I love the revival of the muff’.
So do I Sophie, so do I.
