[@tearesa37]

I like this guy. Makes me laugh with how direct he is.

[@suncore598]

I really am drawn by the chemistry between Jan and James Wolf's character who I find the most interesting of all of the men. I would love to see more of him.

[@kahleentenshi]

I love this series.The script acted out is so fluid: it flows so well, like a waltz. The script is smart too. I feel like I can relate to Jan because she is passionate about career, and makes it known. She's also interested in men, but doesn't make being with one her priority. She is strong enough to put a man in his place when he makes absurd advances on her. I simply love this series.

[@natamalieee]

Found out about this channel last night. I've watched almost all of the videos (not including 'behind the scenes', but I'll get to those :P). They are all fantastic, thank you WIGS for sharing intelligent, interesting, and creative videos.

[@M3ganimal]

this show has won me over. they always do!!!

[@ShyAngel14]

the dancer and the quick talker for sure!

[@EmilyRitcheson]

Of all the WIGS girls, Jan is probably one of the least explicit, so when she gets sassy, you know something's up! Great episode.

[@TheHaylio]

Both these girls are pretty enough to actually capture these guys interest, I'd love to see more of these 'Speeddating' ones with different sorts of people

[@Amber88d]

The first 20 seconds of this and I'm thinking " Jan is so freaking Ackward" lol

[@awynn32]

Vanessa should get her own series!

[@haleyan3387]

lol when Christine asked if her "date" was gay, the reaction was a wholeee other story.

[@eevee1156]

Jan's guy in this episode was.. *gags*

[@cathyjustice8953]

james wolk is so adorable!

[@brewcrewer]

I find it very interesting in the first series about Jan, one would believe that Jan was more insecure than Vanessa. However, in this series its clear to see that Vanessa tends to be a bit more insecure than Jan. It's interesting to see Vanessa stumbling through these dates and Jan being witty and confident in her approach. Anyone else that?

[@jodyvankuijk]

jan is the dtuch word for the name John haha

[@jodyvankuijk]

jan is the dutch word for the name john haha

[@schemma123000]

i love this show

[@kemushichan]

Vanessa's guy made me think of a young Lawrence Fishbourne.

[@TheBhumiChannel]

Good observation! He definitely looks like him, so I googled him and saw pictures of them together, and it was at the premiere of Jon Avnet's "Have a Little Faith" which starred Laurence Fishburne. I bet that may be where Lanston Fishburne made his initial connection with Wigs.

[@CheezyReads]

Robby returned it in the last set of Jan shorts!

[@aliveandconnected]

Langston Fishburne sounds just like his father. I was like omg this guy is so handsome and sounds like Lawrence Fishburne. And lo and behold I go to the credits and there he is. Langston. I am smitten.

[@gypsyvanneraddict]

Kicks his nutz'

[@ghostdong40]

I love wigs, but Jan is no doubt my favorite character.

[@erni414]

that guy Jan was with made me want to barf, but Vanessa's ballet dancer was intriguing!!

[@gypsyvanneraddict]

Like the dancer!

[@omshanti5684]

I think we will and this is just a little fun romp in the meantime.

[@AmiciQuattuor]

00:30 someone in the background. "Who the eff is taking photos? Why the eff are you taking photos?"

[@TheBhumiChannel]

Yesserie-Bob! You noticed that too! I think the difference is that this dude is really not gay. The other guy (Matthew) in Christine is still very much in denial about it.

[@ruthierosales9116]

Wow, V... yes yes and YES! I'm happy Jan held her ground with this guy. What a jerk!

[@VaultDwellnChick]

I like this guy for Jan. Very 50 shades of grey.

[@wynning25]

I agree with you.

[@cathyjustice8953]

the ballet dancer was wayyyy to intense

[@omshanti5684]

She definitely did not lose that battle. Vanessa did come later and finish him off with the slap you said he deserved. The main reason she won is because she did not give in to him and go home with him. She just has her own style of doing things. But she got the job done.

[@dridri4life]

lol i see jans still being awkward

[@ManillaKitty]

ooh a ballet dancer... NICE! :)

[@CheezyReads]

yup!

[@TheBhumiChannel]

What do you mean by dialog?

[@omshanti5684]

Right after Malcolm walked away, Vanessa's expression was exactly the same as Blue's mom when she was in bed with her boyfriend, and talking to Blue on skype.

[@TheBhumiChannel]

Someone should tell Vanessa that Proenza Schuler stuff is now available at Target. I just googled it.... Now she can get a bag that isn't more than her apartment.

[@TheBhumiChannel]

Not at all. There was nothing low self-esteem about Jan's reaction to this ass. She understood exactly where he was coming from with all his innuendoes and double entendres and simply did not buy into it, nor allow him to manipulate her. I commend her for the way she handled him and I think it takes a person with a healthy self esteem to do so.

[@TheBookfrog]

I liked the ballet dancer :)

[@TheBhumiChannel]

What book was that?

[@curlyhair343]

Jan seems to be a little in love with Vanessa

[@travler786]

I kind of liked Paco in the last episode for Jan, he seemed nice but then there's the possibility of him slipping back into his old life. I liked the Ballet dancer in this episode too. Although there is part of me that thinks the guy with Jan in this episode would go well with Vanessa, haha.

[@SoxHeather]

Huge problem with 4:18. "Try me"? He already was trying her and her lack of hitting him, or embarassing him, etc, was her losing that battle. ick.

[@TheBhumiChannel]

I guess it's one of those things that if you have to have it explained to you, it loses a lot of it's punch. lol..... it still doesn't make sense to me, but I accept that it is my problem.

[@omshanti5684]

She's really beautiful.

[@LittleDevilFromAAFB]

Ballet Dancer for Vanessa and Ex Gangster for Jan :3

[@WIGS]

Three episodes, five men... met any guys you'd like for Vanessa or Jan so far?

[@2wx]

I think Jan should date the Ex Gangster, I liked their chemistry

[@kellysghost]

I liked vanessa's date better! Good banter

[@madmalik13]

The actress playing Jan is gorgeous, but I still have a mad crush on Laura.(Vanessa).

[@AD94_AD]

i agree

[@TheBhumiChannel]

I got it that she said that.... but what exactly does that mean?

[@CharlesGuzman]

Jan murdered her date. I'm glad because he deserved it. He was a hot-headed pompous jerk to her.

[@18erin]

Omg Jan is talking to the guy from the movie You Again, hes so hot!!!

[@TheBhumiChannel]

The low hanging fruit dude seems to be the V&J version of Al from the Christine series, the one that likes older women that Christine said she hoped would end up alone. In both these series, they were resisted by the protagonists, but in real life probably catch their all too willing prey quite regularly. Speaking of all too willing, if he plays his cards right, he probably has a good chance with Vanessa, but not for a menage-a-trois, at least not with Jan (and yes, I did see the trailer.)

[@User-tw4mc]

When I went speed dating the guys didn’t talk in that low slow creepy come on voice. It was a lot less weird than this.

[@lanceseidman]

I will never speed date, nuts!

[@TheBhumiChannel]

Nope, not on your life. Jan can't stand that dude and made that really clear.

[@Asiahudn]

I love Jan and Vanessa but I have know clue where we are going with this story.

[@omshanti5684]

Bill Gates was arrested? Multiple times? Details, please! btw, I agree that you gotta give this guy credit for trying to reform. Kudos to him for helping others too. But I sort of draw the line at actually dating them. She already went through and is continuing to go through the Robbie saga. Better to respect him from a distance than to place your heart into the hands of a person that has such a past.

[@MarianFrae]

It may have been five. I only have 30% hearing in one ear so similar words get confused sometimes. But basically she was trying to clue him in that he was being really rude and deserved a slap.

[@wynning25]

I actually liked both of these guys, even though Jan's was a bit confrontational

[@alexaandnick4ever]

Wigs has this thing for speed dating...don't they?

[@scoobycool9]

The one Jan was talking to was a libertine.

[@TheBhumiChannel]

Yeah, I think she's gonna get lucky this time if you saw the teaser but he'll probably find someone to go home with tonight regardless, and Jan was just one of the five who'd slap him. I imagine in an evening of speed dating, he can find at least one easy mark. He was hoping for a double header with Jan, but struck out.

[@AbbyAndrew]

The way the camera was moving Jan and her guy was really distracting!

[@MarianFrae]

He said that nine out of ten women will slap him. She wants to see him slapped nine times. :)

[@wynning25]

I meant Jan's DATE, not Jan, sorry should have been clearer about that. I agree, she could have been more so, but I think what she did was enough

[@MYMusicMYLove]

I'm surprised they didn't bump into Christine =)

[@Haikuhiaku]

All of the men seem to be different aspects of the same person. As if one person is wearing a different cloak. They speak with similar cadence, with similar reluctance and similar impatience. I wonder if it is intentional in the writing. It makes me feel as if I am watching Christine in a role reversal. Jan and Vanessa almost seem peripheral.

[@soeusei26]

Ex gangster guy for Jan.

[@TheBhumiChannel]

Thank you Mr. Debonair for your explanation. For some reason your comment was voted down. Weird how that happens. I can't imagine who might get offended by it..... but some pretty strange creatures roam these boards.

[@moodi3bluez]

I like the Christian Grey type...... lol

[@mssug2005]

The spinning around the table is too much. And how is it that they can get that deep in conversation with every man they meet while speed dating?

[@TheBhumiChannel]

Uhhhh, nope.... I don't think so. This dude is on the prowl, using the speed dating scene as a venue to stalk his prey. He is definitely not for Jan and she is pretty clear about not being the least bit interested in his game.

[@ht3oldnavy]

I dont know. to me, a speed dating episode worked for christina but it seems like a filler for wigs to use jan in a speed dating episode, however, vanessa fits well.

[@iclarinett93]

the cameras has to stop rotating.!!!

[@Dannielle247]

Rocket scientist was hot.

[@TheBhumiChannel]

Why?

[@meba7531]

Am I the only one here that doesn't think that Jan is really all that good looking?

[@artsitichick]

Isn't Jan's guy from Political Animals?

[@TheBhumiChannel]

I hate to admit it, but I don't get that joke..... can you explain it to me?

[@TheYazmanian]

5.19 LOL she's like gulp, he's so hot.

[@TheBhumiChannel]

Naw! If I were Jan, I would be very wary of an ex-gang banger. I like it that he seems committed to changing his ways and is helping other bangers to see the light, but that sort of association means that he isn't entirely out of that world. Bangers, notoriously are misogynistic, so even if he is reforming, those tendencies will usually surface before long in a relationship. I don't see Jan as anyone's bitch, and he's had too much exposure to degraded talk, rap music, images, etc.

[@alonaBAM]

am i the only one who thought they were in new york..?

[@TheBhumiChannel]

Well, they are definitely tight. And BFF's. But "in love"? Hardly. There is nothing to suggest as such. Not every person who loves the friends in their lives and stands by them are gay, actually few of them are. It seems that in every series wigs puts out, someone always suggests that the protagonist is gay. Well, it hasn't happened yet. Maybe in the future.....

[@TheYazmanian]

This guy thinks he is so smart, it's so annoying. LOL

[@RUWeird2OrIsItJustMe]

I'm not feeling this series. tbh, I just do prefer Vanessa over Jan though. She is more outgoing.

[@hello79712]

isn't this like Christine?

[@kboo1198]

Lol. There is nothing in Twilight, no plot, no 'romance', not even a decent fight scene.

[@WilliamWadeJr]

@JohnBasedow sent me!

[@godofentity]

50 cents cause I clicked a button, cool.

[@gypsyvanneraddict]

She looks like Brigitte Fonda!

[@spinbaba]

'Low Hanging Fruit' .... just like the berries on a vertically challenged male.

[@PrincessOfDifference]

Luke sent me

[@Troyju2006]

....Jan speed dating?! uuuhhh that makes no sense to me.

[@Aldermeeer]

Robbie would have given us a better story.

[@TheYazmanian]

as in jan's date was annoying not vanessa's
