Blonde And More Blonder Season 1, Episode 9: Odessa

The Capital Kiev

It all begins with Nauris’s painful disappointment – I am not in India, I am in Ukraine. But... That’s OK. He is ready for adventure and to ready battle Rihards. For the first time, the boys receive the show’s paraphernalia – the black box and the promising golden envelope. But there's not much in them – just a harmonica and 200 hryvnia or just about 7 Euro. They have to either survive the entire day on this money or they must make some more. Nauris will manage to feed half of the district with Kiev cake, cross the Paton bridge, and step inside a soap bubble in a museum. Rihards will get to know the Klitschko brothers, run around a giant football stadium, and eat three Kiev hot dogs. But that is not all. They will be forced to make money on the street and to make the girls of Kiev laugh with their plasticine figurines.

Carpathian Mountains and the Road to Odessa

Awake and having had breakfast at the Hutsul household in Carpathian Mountains, Nauris and Rihards get back to work. This time they will accompany the master of the house on a trip to cut a fir tree in the mountains. When the tree has been cut and divided into smaller logs, it is time for the next challenge. The boys have to compete at carrying the logs back home on their shoulders. The race with the magnificent view begins. As the boys catch their breaths, they compete at another challenge – throwing an axe at the Hutsul’s fence. After that, it’s time to bid farewell, for the boys have a train to catch. The sixteen-hour ride to Odessa can begin. On the train, the boys will pretend to be twins, throw a birthday party, and do anything to make the passengers laugh.

The End of the Race in Odessa

The last day of the race is here, and so are the results. The trip has been laden with humour, so Rihards and Nauris roam the city offering the locals a shot of Riga Black Balm in exchange for an anecdote – after all, Odessians are well-known for their sense of humour. Then they will entertain the passers-by on the local tourist street by attempting to perform as acrobat brothers. Then they meet and question a Jew about the main topic of the trip “how to determine your Hebrew roots”, and Rihards gets his own kippah. We will discover the secrets of a street artist and find out how Latvians have fun in a carting with their eyes shut. And the night will be closed by souvenirs, a quiz about the trip, and a five-star hotel for the winner. And what will the loser get?!
