Outback Jack: Episode 7 Recap
Mumsy's The Word
Recap By Marlena Montpetit
August 5, 2004
In the beginning of this episode, the 3 girls are very happy that they are still in the running.
Along the journey to the next camp, Jack feels the girls are looking tired, so they stop for an outback treat; green ants. He actually dives right in and starts eating; he says they are a great source of protein. The girls try the ants once Jack tells them that the ants are sweet. I hate bugs so this is revolting to me and the fact that they are eating ant asses made me wanna puke!
After they have their snack, they arrive at a ranch style property where the girls are introduced to Jack's Mom Lori - aka Mumsy as he calls her. Mumsy is very emotional about seeing Jack, which obviously confirms that she is very close to her son. The girls like her right away and Marissa doesn't seem worried as she states "Moms love me".
The girls are shown to their rooms and again they are in heaven with just a bed and air conditioning on their side. Later that afternoon, Lori has a little pow-wow with the women to ask some questions and Jack can't come! She asks them all the normal questions that moms would ask and then throws a few questions in there that stand out. For instance, if they could not have Jack, who would they pick next for him, well obviously Maria and Natalie pick each other.
Another question was what do they feel about sex before marriage? The girls squirm so much its funny and then Marissa is finally truthful and says that she doesn't feel she must say yes or no; she says it is between the two people involved and no one else
After Lori is done with them, Jack and JD show up but this time with some good news, each of the women get to have private dates with Jack this evening. First up is Natalie and she has a very romantic date with the sunset, drinks and lots of kissing. She felt comfortable and Jack says he felt safe kissing her.
Next up is Maria and they are laying curled up on blankets just enjoying each other's company when she puts the moves on a little strong again (she seems to throw herself at him a lot). Jack asks her if she is always forward because he wants to make sure his girl will be monogamous. Maria does not like being asked that.
Last is Marissa and their date is very tense, she feels on edge with him right now and he wants to trust her but feels she might be there just in win the game not him. He learns on the date that she is sincerely there for him and he feels a bit better now. Doesn't take him long to break the ice and start kissing Marissa again.
Next day, videos from home come to the ranch so that Jack and his Mumsy can learn about each of the girl's familys. All the videos are very nice and Jack really enjoyed seeing people from these girls' lives.
JD shows up to take the girls so Jack and Lori can have alone time to discuss things. He wants an opinion from her, she says she doesn't know because she feels they are all wonderful girls. She does say that she feels the best match would be Marissa as her qualities could very well compliment Jack's qualities.
Next morning, its elimination day and there is a hot air balloon ready to take Jack and his final two ladies to their last camp.
Lori and JD wait in the wings to see who he picks.
Natalie is up first and he says he has bonded best with her - she is staying!!
Next is Marissa and he knows there is something between them - she is staying too.
Poor Maria, Crying her heart out due to the fact that Jack doesn't want her that much, Jack embraces her and tells her to be brave. She's says she can't be brave now cuz her heart is broken right now. I have two words for Maria: waterproof mascara!
Just an FYI - we are down to the wire and the finale is next week for Outback Jack. Also if you are interested in getting the chance to have Jack or the last two women answer your questions, please visit www.tbs.com as they will pick the best questions and post answers on Tuesday.
