Smell Ya Later!

Taylor is a single gal from West Seattle who is looking for someone new. We introduce her to two nice local guys - Country Boy Henry from Kent and City Boy Tim from Redmond - and they need to be on their game because Taylor works in HR so she knows a lot about human nature! Henry is a personal trainer and is an out-doorsy type but since the weather might be dicey he suggests an "indoor" outdoor activity and so wants to go to iFly for some skydiving! Being a Country Boy he also loves his BBQ and suggests heading over to Famous Dave's afterwards and after that maybe some fun hole-in-the-wall bars. City Boy Tim works for Microsoft and says he enjoys the "finer things in life" but he really wants to embrace Friday the 13th! He suggests going to the iPic movie to see "It Chapter 2". And he says afterward they will hit Molly Moons for some ice cream and if the clouds clear a bit, they can check out the Harvest Moon! Taylor asks some good questions which leads to some discussion about faith, family, and, um, fragrance. So which guy will she pick? And which form of terror: skydiving or clowns?

Nice Bikini, Sailor!

Dale is a writer who lives in Kent. He's 34 and has never found the right girl. He admits he is tired of dating City girls, finding them kind of "stuck up", and so is already leaning toward a Country girl, but has agreed to keep an open mind. Today he gets the choice between Country Girl Kate from Spanaway and City Girl Hillary from Kirkland. Kate suggests a day on her boat on American Lake and then a BBQ at her family's house. Kate says her dad is an awesome pit master and they have a big BBQ every week with her big family and lots of friends, so Dale would be more than welcome at the family gathering. City Girl Hillary also works in writing and publishing so she thinks they would have a lot to talk about and suggests doing that over margaritas. But not to be outdone by Country Girl Kate, Hillary also has access to a boat which she says they could take out to the Sound for a night cruise....and she describes her bikini choice. So, which will Dale choose: first date with the entire family or first date with stars and a bikini?

I'd Rather Not Die on The First Date

Ashley from Bothell is a nurse who says dating apps have taken all the mystery out of the process and she wants to try something more spontaneous. We offer her a choice between Country Boy Charles, who is from Kent, and City Boy Nick, who is also from Kent. Charles suggests tubing on down the river and then some BBQ. When Ashley says she can't swim, Charles doesn't seem too concerned about that and doesn't suggest much in the way of a plan B although he says they can do something else "outdoorsy". City Boy Nick wants to get out of Kent, hop the Sounder to Seattle and go bar hopping. The guys are not terribly detail-oriented and Ashley seems a little lukewarm on both of them, as are the P1s, several of whom offer themselves as alternatives! She does pick one, reluctantly, and they went out. We did not have high hopes to be honest but when we revisited Monday morning, Ashely says the guy she chose ended up being much more interesting in person than he was on the phone. We, however are not super convinced...

City Girl Trish suggests going to the Tacoma Food Truck Festival where they can chat and try different foods and people-watch. And she says if Robert really likes classic cars, there is also a classic car show this weekend where they can walk around and check them out.

Shed Happens - So What Happened Next?

On Friday, we met Vanessa from Kent: a receptionist at an insurance company who came on the show to choose between City Boy Thomas from Redmond and Country Boy Carl from Shelton. Thomas thought he had this one all wrapped up because he had passes to Watershed and a room at the winery next store to the Gorge. But it turns out Carl also had Watershed passes with plans to camp out in General Camping. In the end, Vanessa chose Country Boy Carl and Camping. We actually did see them for a bit on Saturday when they stopped by the Bull Tent at Watershed. She was looking a little crispy so we gave her some BS (Bull Sunscreen). They called in this morning to give us an update on how the weekend progressed. What was it like sharing a tent with a stranger? Did they see any shows? And how did Vanessa get some aloe on that epic sunburn?

Shed Happens

Vanessa from Kent is a receptionist at an insurance company. She gets the chance to choose between City Boy Thomas from Redmond and Country Boy Carl from Shelton. Thomas thinks he's got this one all wrapped up because he has passes to Watershed and a room at the Winery next store to the Gorge. He is going with a group of friends so she could join along. But it turns out Carl also has Watershed passes and he plans on camping out in General with just her. (By the way, we are all a little concerned because it seems like neither of these guys has ever been to Watershed, but everyone seems pretty stoked for it!) So Vanessa faces not just the choice of City Boy vs Country Boy, but also hotel room vs tent, and group date vs solo date, three hours from home. So which guy will she pick? And will they actually meet up? And will any of them use sunscreen?

Now I Know What Flapper Means

Single Guy David from Enumclaw has written to Fitz saying he is ready to meet someone new. We have offered him a choice between City Girl Becca from the Seattle neighborhood of Ravenna and Country Girl Kristi from Marysville. Becca has tickets to some kind of crazy 1920's party on a boat so she proposes a day of thrifting for crazy clothes, enjoying the boat ride with food and jazz, and then going to 13 Coins for some all-night people watching. But Kristi suggests that's too much stuff and what David really needs is a nice, chill Country night of downhome food and drinks at Loco Billy's followed by a little star-gazing. David has said he wants to do something more than his "regular old Country lifestyle" but Country Girl Kristi does give a good pitch, as does City Girl Becca. So who will David pick? And will they actually go through with the date?

City Girl Leslie wants to show him Olympia's best pubs so she suggests an evening of bar-hopping with different styles of ambiance, food, and drinks. Country Girl Amber happens to be house-sitting this weekend at a house on Lake Tapps, so she suggests a day of boating, wakeboarding, grilling on the big ole porch and cold beer on the deck. Bob tries pretty hard to get them both, but this is City vs Country, not City AND Country, so he has to make a choice! Did he choose pub crawling in the Capitol, or grilling and chilling on The Lake? And...how did it go? Fasten your seatbelts - this could get a little bumpy.
