The Most Awkward House Hunters Moments That Were Caught On Camera
Daniel Cobb
Much like Zeke from "Rebounding in Oslo," Johan from "Returning to Australia, Where It All Began" is socially clueless — but, unlike Zeke, who assumes his realtor is making a move on him, Johan brazenly flirts with his realtor, Maxine Pemble, over the course of the episode. When they discuss his preferences for housing and she says, "We need something with a good vibe," he volleys back, "Just like you — a good vibe." She rolls her eyes and smirks, showing that she's not exactly pleased with his attempt.
Later, during a house tour, Johan compliments the decor and tells Maxine, "You really know how to class the place up! Look at you." She answers, "I did none of this, but thank you so much." A few moments later, she lets her true feelings slip when she remarks, "You're the first person I've met from Miami. Lucky me!" and makes an exaggerated cringing face.
During an interview segment, Johan talks about his desire to settle down with a partner. "Who knows, a real estate agent might be the perfect woman for me to start a new life [with] here," he says, not very smoothly. Maxine immediately replies, "That's it! I am buying you a ticket back to Miami, USA." Moments later, while she's in her car, she comments, "Again, nice guy, but he's a lot." That's the understatement of the year.
