Jaymes and James are now enduring the massage and more cold water. So, you know, plenty of shots of Wet! Shirtless! Chippendales! if that's your thing. In the post-leg interview, Jaymes asks if they don't look extra-fresh. Well, maybe if you stopped setting your electric razors to "Homer."
Brent has to lower himself into an awkward half-squat to get his tall head-load of simits through the door leading into the first shop. The owner unloads half of them, then stamps a piece of paper for the goat farmers in a pointless formality and sends them on their way to their next stop. Back on the street, they encounter Rob & Kelley, who also quickly find the first shop. Rob has to duck even further. "If I had to do this job every day I'd quit," Rob says as they also get stamped. But what about the aggressiveness he uses to overcome every obstacle that's put in his way?
The twins make it to the Roadblock, and after reading, "Who's ready to pour their heart out?" Nadiya says, "Natalie, because she's single. "What?" Natalie laughs at this non sequitur. But she starts getting dressed up, and as her sister tells her, "Get your sexy on, Natalie." Natalie asks for some makeup. So I guess she's into it.
Ryan says he's got fourteen of forty cups sold, but Lexi barely pauses to count her 22 sales thus far before going right back to hollering. She interviews that as a cheerleader, "you have to be upbeat the whole time. You have to attract a crowd. I was just being loud and obnoxious like I normally am." It seems to be working, as one guy offers her a lira in exchange for her just going away. Ryan, meanwhile, is struggling with selling until he finds a guy who's willing to help Ryan sell to his friends on a commission basis. "It was genius," Ryan overstates. Abba, meanwhile, is like a bumbling uncle with his granny glasses on and his plastic cups falling to the floor. Nadiya is of course cheering Natalie on from the sidelines, telling her to go to the guys. Which seems more like Lexi's target market.
