Ruthie from Hawaii is waiting for Justin from Hawaii to arrive at the airport. Ruthie looks really good. She cut her hair to about shoulder-length. Justin tells us that he thought Ruthie looked "wonderful." Justin's gone back to his natural hair color, which is a bit of a relief.
, there's a montage of other cast members arriving. Annoying (a.k.a. Amaya) from Hawaii and Lindsey from Seattle were on the same flight. As soon as they leave the camera range, we see the flight attendants stagger out. One is clutching a super size bottle of aspirin and ripping the cap off with his teeth. The other is holding a little sign that says, "Please kill me now." Clearly, having those two on the same flight was an overload for the staff. David from Seattle walks by, as does Tetanus Girl (a.k.a. Kaia) from Hawaii. Tet Girl is wearing some bizarre medallion, but no bindhis. Nathan from Seattle walks out, wearing a really tight black T-shirt. Nathan gets on some sort of train, and tells us that he'd like to see Irene and say hi to her and see if she got it together, but he wouldn't be "pissed off" if Stephen wasn't there. This may mark the first time I ever agreed with Nate-dawg. Rebecca from Seattle is picking up Stephen. How come some people get picked up at the airport and others have to find their own way to the hotel? Anyway, it's annoying because in the footage at the airport, Rebecca has long hair, but then in the interviews, she suddenly has a chin-length bob, or so it appears. What's up with that? Of course, I should know better than to expect continuity from these producers. Stephen arrives, wearing a long-sleeved button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up above his biceps, like that looks natural. He tells Rebecca he wants to see some people but not others, and then he says in an interview, "I'll be damned if I let somebody fake the funk on me." No, I don't know what he's talking about either.
Janet arrives, and says she's nervous because she hasn't seen some of these people in two years. She reminds us that she was on the Challenge with Jason, and according to the RW Hawaii book, she practically moved in with him afterwards, but then they parted ways. Dan from Miami arrives and tells us that his old roommate Joe has "an agent or a manager because he's so important" and might not be there. So, now the producers have successfully set up the "Stephen is crazy" storyline, the "Janet and Jason romance" storyline and the "Dan vs. Joe" storyline. Just keeping track for those of you playing the home game. Sarah from Miami arrives and tells us that Joe is really busy, but she said she would go to the reunion if he did. Syrus from Boston says he hasn't seen his old roommate Sean in a while, and that Sean has new things in his life. Sean tells us that his whole world has turned upside down, and it's wonderful. Seriously, is there anyone who didn't know he married Rachel from San Francisco? Oops, hope I didn't ruin the surprise for anyone.
