That was probably my least favorite ep of QE so far
Really? It was one of my favorites, although the appeal was partly in how lame the guy was. Knowing now that he was just in it for the free stuff, and had no desire to change makes me like the guy even less, but the show was Hi-larious. "...And this bread used to be square" had me on the floor.

Oh, Lord yes. And the awkward silence, with the queer guys taking the piss.
That was the only ep I never bothered finishing, even before I knew he was whoring. I like some sort of contact with the subject. He was just a prick.
The drink-mixing? pitiful. Even I could do better than that, and I don't drink anything but wine.
Well, yeah -- it was like he'd never seen a drink before.

Well, asking a beer-&-chips (or crisps, depending on your country) to mix martinis and mint juleps is a bit much. But even virtually non-drinking I know that a gin & tonic is not 2/3 gin.
Well, yeah, wrod, but you don't just slop from the bottle in the glass. Yuck.
Or that you don't serve an entire glass full of whiskey!
... a gin & tonic is not 2/3 gin.
It isn't?
...you don't serve an entire glass full of whiskey!
You don't?
bugger!

I had contact with the subject, because I identify with excessive frugality, so I sympathized with him getting picked apart. When Kyan kept insisting that he call his place a shithole, rather than a regular hole, I thought he was being mean.
I wonder if Jai read him for a free-stuff moocher. His line, "We're going to get something nice for your girlfriend... You're going to pay for it," was the most forceful statement I've heard out of him.
Edit: apparently he's a real estate speculator and comedian? [link]
