'Reality is often disappointing.'
'I love this show. It's just so real. The unseen side of the Luke couple.'
'Yeah. Normally they're super classy, but this show proves they're humans like us.'
"This is a big village. Are we just gonna pick a house at random?" Vania looked around in confusion. There were a lot of houses around. At least give us a clue.
Hanson looked around as well. He then turned to the cameraman. "Any clues?"
The cameraman shook his head. His job was to film these people, not give them clues.
The Luke couple thought about their options and reached the same decision again. They exchanged a look and said, "We're getting a free meal."
Picking a house at random from all these houses was hard, and they had a time limit. The sooner they could finish this, the sooner they could sleep. Getting a free meal was the easiest way to do it. The couple happily held hands and walked down the path.
The viewers were laughing out loud.
'Back to square one.'
'This mission isn't as easy as it seems, huh?'
'Most people wouldn't even think about getting free meals.'
'They have humor and wit.'
The show depended on this couple to hype things up. They always said the right thing at the right time, or they would just start showing acts of affection to each other. The viewers loved this.
The couple had chosen a house from whom they would get a free meal, and right now, they were staring at the closed door before them.
Vania said, "It's shut. Guess this is a rich family."
"Yep." Hanson nodded.
"Wanna knock on their door?" Vania didn't want to miss the opportunity of getting a free meal from a rich family.
"But it's a steel gate. How are we supposed to knock on a steel gate?" Hanson asked.
"Um…" Well, this is awkward. Didn't think about it. "I think we should shout. Maybe someone will hear us."
But that's not what I do, though. It'll ruin my reputation, Hanson thought.
Another awkward moment hung in the air.
'Why did she think the family's rich? Just because the door is shut? Are they afraid of thieves?'
'I'd think this is scripted, but it's a live show. The conversation is so jarring, but it's funny.'
'Shout no jutsu, huh?'
'Man, this is funny.'
Just when they wondered what they should do, a villager came out of the house. "Are you looking for someone?" She was speaking in dialect, and there was wariness in her eyes.
Vania greeted her politely, "Hi, we're on a show right now, and we have to hunt for our own dinner, so—"
"No," the villager interrupted. "You should leave. You're scaring the kids."
We're scaring the kids? Are we that scary?
The couple stood around in confusion like a pair of abandoned kids.
'Oh my gosh. She was refused. Probably a first in her life.'
"This is hilarious.'
'Wonder what the villager would think if she found out she refused two rich guys.'
Their first attempt at getting a free meal ended in failure.
As they had no idea how to proceed, the cameraman kindly hinted, "I think the director has some mission cards."
