okay. i watched it twice. still okay.

Warning: Spoilers
Another episode with two plots about love. But it has Lawrence as Tattoo again so that is nice. I've seen about three now that have him And every time it is episodes about love. They ran out of ideas in 1984 I guess. I would love to see one where one story arc is about something That involves a haunted house with spider webs and cloth over furniture with perhaps a demon (those are the best) and another that has Lawrence doing one of tattoos roles of rowing as fast as he can to get away from Villagers that think he's a love god. Sadly none of this can happen, Rip. Quick disclaimer, its October 5 15 and I had a head on collision Today, slept a lot, tried watching a Monday night football game rooting for the lions who found a amazing way to lose so I am a little brain dead.

so one story arc is about a shy guy coming with his stud friend to attend some Ski model event. apparently it is hot girls on treadmills wearing skis from what I gathered. blah. they get let in with special passes , into a dressing room that seemed awkward. also the room had that guard that looks like a all white Mountie. I love the Fantasy island guard/police. anyhow it was awkward to watch. His buddy is hooking up with models and he doesn't get to hook up with a "10" girl and meets some plain girl. I think he sleeps with her, not sure but they seem to be in sleeping clothes and he tells her he could eat a hub cap after "That" and that would be great. anyhow predictably he ends up with her cause she doesn't know better ,the leave on the plane and are stuck with each other for evermore.

the other arc was some young lady who came back to see the wine farm she lived at as a teen but the guy who owns it is a jerk. She gets a coin from Rourke to throw in a well that gives her a wish and her secret love, guess what its Rourke. but he ruins her fantasy and spurns her (I looked it up , he was married for like 60 years) and she gets upset and takes the wine farm guy. He tells her stuff but he mumbles and I found him impossible to understand. but he hates Rourke. I re winded a few times and could not understand him. all crap happens , she likes him, she sees him beat his other chic, Rourke steps in, does this Spock like death grip , throws him into a lamp and then seems to like crush his hand I had no idea what was going on that whole part of the story and would like to blame it on the 8 beers, car wreck , etc but it was just really dumb.

That said, I got a nice 15 second video of the one plain chic telling the guy off and then Lawrence showing up eating a hot dog and mocking him. then the guy was like "I'm asking for a refund" and Lawrence makes his awesome standard eye bug out and mouths "refund". hilarious but why would a refund affect him. if it did I would be very concerned.

Anna Bjorn is a Fantasy!
clydehott1 April 2024
Just seeing actress Anna Bjorn in a bikini makes this the best episode of Fantasy Island ever! It is too bad that the writers didn't develop her "Monique" character further, which they very easily could have done just by having her speak in her native Icelandic dialect. Talk about a sexy language for a sexy lady! And since Anna, like ninety-eight percent of all Icelanders, is fluent in English, the story line could have centered around Joe (Michael Lembeck), trying to communicate with her, the inevitable misunderstanding struggle due to the language barrier, but a real Fantasy come true when he teaches her enough English for the universal language of love to triumph in the end. Instead, the writers have Anna's "Monique" totally blow the Joe character off when she discovers that he is an auto mechanic. Then Joe. (Michael Lembeck), falls for "Paula", (Donna Pescow), and spouts that totally ridiculous line about "he could eat a hub cap" after he does it with Paula. This just proves that Anna's "Monique" was bright, as well as beautiful, as she spotted Joe for the tool he was right from the start. The only unbelievable part is that Paula didn't dump Joe too. Then the eposide could have ended with Joe licking the tires on Mr. Roake's doorless Fantasy Island mobile while Lawrence rolls his eyes. Ah, the possibilities. Regardless, I rate this eposide a ten out of ten for Anna's "brief" appearance, but don't blink or you'll miss her, and that would be a crying shame.
