'Terrace House: Tokyo 2019-2020': Vivi, Kai and Tupas are the new housemates after Peppe, Ruka and Haruka's exit
Part 3 of 'Terrace House: Tokyo 2019-2020' saw three housemates - Haruka Okuyama, Ruka Nishinoiri and Guiseppe 'Peppe' Durato exit the show. The format of the show now allows all housemates to carry on with their daily lives as they please and it also enables members to leave the show and bring in new housemates to replace the ones who left.
Now with three members gone, it's just Ryo Tawatari, Hana Kimura and Emika Mizukoshi that remain at the Terrace House and it's time for a new crop of people to come in. A sneak peek of the new house members reveals a Russian speaking girl who's quite a looker with great fashion sense, an English speaking man with his long locks tied up in a man bun and a Japanese speaking driver claiming to his boss that he's ready to watch some girls bathe naked during his stint at the house.
While Ryo was away at the games, Emika and Hana were hanging out in the living room and just when they heard a bell ring and they knew it was a new housemate that's arrived at their doorstep. First to enter the house was Violetta 'Vivi' Razdumina, a 24-year-old model, and actress. She predominantly spoke English for the initial moments leaving Hana and Emika a little worried about how they'd take the conversation ahead but later she dropped the act and revealed herself to be a decent Japanese speaker. Both Hana and Emika were happy to have Vivi in the house and were seen jelling already.
The second one to enter the house was half-American and half-Japanese, Kai Kobayashi, a 25-year-old standup comedian who moved to Japan just 3 years ago after living in multiple countries across the world. He was received at the door by Emika. He came bearing gifts in the form of wine, heating pads and gummy bears. Both of them were having a quick chat in the living room and that's when Hana and Vivi dropped in to say hello to the new house member.
The final member to enter the house was 22 years old, Tupas Johnkimverlu. Tupas serves as an assistant to celebrated Japanese illustrator and actor, Lily Franky and he mentioned that he was on the show to meet people of his age and make friends with them.
The housemates retired to their rooms later and the girls' room was buzzing with all of them gushing about Kai and his "sensual" voice. While in the boys' room, Kai revealed that he's drawn to Vivi and that her giggly nature was very attractive to him. Tupas, on the other hand, mentioned he's not very much of a jovial person and was looking for someone who matched his energy.
Back in the studio, the panelists were laughing about the fact that Ryo was certainly about to fall hard for Vivi. They also mentioned Kai and Tupas and their good looks. Another interesting thing they noted was that the current lot of housemates include people from Filipino, Japanese, Indonesian, American and Russian heritages and it would be interesting to see them exist together on the show.
'Terrace House: Tokyo 2019-2020' Part 3 is now streaming on Netflix.
