After a real pervy intro from the panel, we dive right into episode 17 and a Nintendo Switch commercial.  Peppe is quickly making an impact on everyone – bringing a lot of life into the house, and has dates set up with both Haruka and Emika.

In this incredibly Ruka-centric episode, he finally has his interview at the Marvel bar and it goes…exactly how you think it’s going to. He REALLY leans into his “I’m Spiderman” theory and he has another awkward date. (That food looked good at least?) Ruka is just as clueless as ever. We’re begging at this point for someone to give him some hard truths.

Shohei swoops in and takes Emika on a spontaneous lunch date, and Emika is everyone of us with her facial expressions. This date has us yelling “SINCE WHEN” at every single thing Shohei says. 

Finally Haruka and Shohei chat on the roof – is this conversation and the energy from the new house members the spark that brings life back to the house? Has Devon turned into a Shohei sympathizer? 

Then it's off to Goalbatte! where we take a look at each members goals for the house and rank them on how they progressed towards them this week. 

Finally we end the episode with Konbanhuh?! Taking a deep dive into a piece of culture or Japanesism from the episode. This week we try we're talking about cosplay!
