I watched Jaimie Vaes: In The Vaes Lane episode 5 and this is what I thought

Yes indeed, the Dubai adventures continue. Yesterday afternoon at five o'clock it was time to head to Discovery+ again, because a new episode was online. Now I must honestly say that I haven't really explored the entire streaming service yet, but I haven't had a reason to either. In The Vaes Lane was reason enough for me and the previous episode ended, of course, with such a bang of a cliffhanger that I was ready at exactly five o'clock in the afternoon again. Well, cliffhanger... Especially the big question: how bad will Jaimie Vaes's hangover be after they went wild in Dubai?

Because the other big question, I can finally answer. The question of what Koen Kardashian actually does is no longer a mystery. In fact, none other than Mister Kardashian himself has helped me out here. And what turns out? Mr. turns out to be quite a talented singer. And presenter. And author. In fact, I've already seen him on TV, years ago on Niet Lullen, Maar Poetsen. An apology is in order, because our Dutch Kardashian turns out to be quite a jack of all trades. But will we see anything of that in this episode? 1, 2, 3, gooooo.

1. Yo, producers: if each episode doesn't even hit half an hour, it's a bit redundant to start with the same minute and a half every week. I can dream it by now.

2. ‘Mom has a hangover,’ well, holy guacamole, but if I have a hangover, I absolutely do not look like that. If I wanted to.

3. #durftevragen: where is Lil Kleine actually in this whole Dubai story?

4. To be honest, I find Estelle quite low key hilarious. She doesn't make the most thoughtful statements, but I think she's always up for a glass of wine and I can really identify with that.

5. ‘Isn't anyone going swimming?’ Love the throwback to Costa!.

6. Okay, now that the mystery surrounding Koen is solved, it's time for a new one: can someone tell me more about this Willem Glas?

7. Château du Jardin. HAHA. I've never heard anyone describe a garden shed the size of a postage stamp so chic.

8. As someone who also lives on a postage stamp, I'm only going to refer to my apartment as Château du Timbre.

9. Jaimie wants a ring with baguettes.

10. For me, as a not-Mrs-Lil-Kleine-to-be, a baguette is still something I prefer to eat with grilled sausage or carpaccio.

11. They also cost significantly less, by the way. The biggest baguette I've ever eaten really doesn't come close to 15,000 euros.

12. This might say a lot about me, but through the whole ring search story, I feel more like getting one from the bakery than wanting to get married.

13. Estelle's self-deprecation about all her failed marriages I find quite delightful.

14. Oh. My. GOD. Koen is that friend you really like, but when you have to move him, suddenly your grandma has passed away or you suddenly have a stomach flu. What a chaos.

15. And those sweet friends who actually show up (in a totally not moving-ready house) then also let do all the work.
Like a real Kardashian diva. A bit of Instagramming in the meantime. Posting everything on Stories.

16. Another little difference between this group and myself: I choose a couch mainly for comfort. And as nice as Koen's couch is, you can't really lie on it comfortably with a blanket, can you? I give it a failing grade.

17. Trying on wedding dresses is still the dream of all girls, I think, but the industry Jaimie is shopping in is quite a different category. Do you remember when H&M came out with wedding dresses that sold out in no time? That's more my category, I'm afraid.

18. Okay, I can feel that rooftop terrace at Koen's new casa. This is definitely a nice upgrade.

19. But WAIT. To put it nicely — attempt at — holy shit, how many times have you powdered your nose, Koen?

20. I can honestly say that no one has such a bizarre piece of art hanging on the wall as Mister Kardashian. Authentic Colombian and only costs you 2600 euros.

21. And a lot of sleepless nights and some heart palpitations on top of that.

22. ‘You think: that's not so much.’ NOT SO MUCH? I don't think I would even survive an average after of Koen's pre-detox period, man.

23. Well, a big high-five if you really manage to detox completely on your own. I really wouldn't have that backbone.

24. Well, to be very honest: this is so far the episode where the most happened. We were in Dubai, there was moving, wedding dresses were shopped, they went shopping for 15,000 euros worth of baguettes AND we saw Colombian artworks. And all that in half an hour.

25. Next week is going to be another crazy house: Jaimie is going horseback riding. Come see it. COME SEE IT.

Unfortunately, we have to wait another week for that, but I'll get through the week, don't worry. I have Champagneyney on repeat now and honestly: this clip. I don't even know where to start. Maybe the highlight is that Koen is bathing in the very public fountain at Hofplein. Or that he's powdering his face with white remnants from last night. Or the man who is belly dancing while sleeping. I don't know. This whole clip is one big highlight.
