Difference between avant-garde and madness? Confidence and persistence.
Blind Date Episode 28 - CLU Vs Ram
According to commenters on the internet, the most awaited combination on the show.
CLU starts rapping at the end, Ram takes this opportunity to make his escape. Viewers have compared the episode akin to "TOEFL vs IELTS" because both the actors errr participants speak in English throughout. "Is this a fighting show or a dating show, because they started arguing right from the beginning", somebody observed. Does that say more about the show, or the unfair representation of heterosexual romance, or the fucked up standards, where relationships are always, always represented as being conflict-driven. There is never a 'normal' regular couple who mostly almost always gets together and supports their partner, and has conflict rarely but it's figured out because they're both adults and respect and love each other deeply and small issues aren't a big deal for actual forreal couples.
She calls him Raa-may, accuses him of wanting to be with somebody who he can control and dominate. I'm too smart and independent for you, she says. I'm a businessman, a successful person, he replies. Oh yeah, can you even spell business, she dares him, just do it, spell it for me. He doesn't take the bait, spells character instead.
"I don't have time to date", he starts the date. CLU says she hates guys who say that because they're lying, making excuses for other weaknesses. He brags he's got his factories and businesses, and PA's and houses and cars. And then takes a call during the 'date', and cancels it. CLU is not happy, they meet again, but she's soured on him right away in the second meet.
"How was your trip here", he asks her on their second date. Well not worth talking about, it's not like I took an international flight, she says. I'm loving transcribing their date, almost feels like there is somebody else writing down the lines on the other end.
And now they're fighting again. A long conversation about who's controlling (him) and oversmart (i'm just independent, you asshole, go marry a village girl) she says. Again, this is supposed to be a...date? Yeah, did I get that right? Anyway. I'm getting bored, I need to be somewhere else. Later, toodles. This is wild, wild.
