Aloha! This is probably one of the wildest episodes yet. The episode kicks off with Ashley sharing some LA updates, including a spicy Monday night featuring a surprise encounter with some contestants of the Bachelorette, before diving into living and dating on the island of Oahu, Hawaii! This week, we have guest Denise from the greater Chicago area and Denise from New York City here to tell us all about their experience living and dating on the island - and they do not hold back. Stories are shared about the small island dating pool, including how common it is to have a friend date one of your past flings by accident and how likely it is to run into an ex when you leave the house. The girls also discuss the transient nature of the island with military men stationed there, tourists coming in and out, and many coming to "find themselves" and only staying for a few years. While both guests share their love for the island and how the generosity of the people there changed them for the better, they also share dating stories involving hookers, fetishes (that made me pee with laughter.. note the word choice), and dates gone terribly wrong - leading to a broken back and a date Venmo request. This episode made me realize how amazing the island can be for someone, but also, that I am a prude.
