Love In The Wild, Ep. 2.8


Tonight is the finale! Who will win? Ken and Yanina or Ben and Michelle? Go Ben and Michelle! If they don't win, at least it wasn't Chase and Summer.

Listening to Jennie McCarthy recap the season, is absolutely excruciating! She ends every sentence in a high-pitched squeeky voice. It is so annoying!

Final Adventure is an overnight challenge. I hope Ben doesn't lose his cool. Should be interesting.

Ben says he'd be happy going to the supermarket to get bread with Michelle, so he's psyched to have a chance to travel around the world with her.

Teams split up: guys look at a map and via walky talky direct the girls to find some items. Ken and Yanina make it look so easy. Previous experience tells us that Ben and Michelle are probably going to struggle...and they do. Somehow Michelle happens upon a box for a clue she wasn't even looking for. Then, frustrated, she sits in the rice patty field crying. Oh dear, this doesn't look good. It's ironic that they have switched roles: Usually Ben is freaking out and Michelle calms him down. This time it's the other way around.

Surprisingly, they aren't too far behind. They assemble their bike quickly, and Ben lightens the mood with a joke: "At least the back comes with air bags" (in the form of his backpack.) It's apparent that even in the worst of times, they manage to balance each other and work as a team.

Ken and Yanina's bike breaks down, so Ben and Michelle are definitely not out of the race.

The couples arrive at the campsite, only 5 minutes apart.  The conditions look miserable, but both couples make the most of it and enjoy some laughs, while enjoying each other's company.

When all is said and done, Ken and Yanina finish first, and win the show. Sad for Ben and Michelle, but Ken and Yanina are definitely a deserving couple.

Both teams are really winners, because they did both found love in the wild.

Both couples are still together after the show and both couples believe they found their soulmates. Awww.
