Stranded with My Mother-in-Law (Ilhados com a Sogra)

Ms. Netflix tasked me with a tough mission.

Creating a new reality show.

We already saw the ones with singles looking for dates.

People chasing marriage.

I've hosted one in which I stuffed my face.

But we needed something different.

An experiment...

with people isolated on an island.

With what they fear the most:

their mother-in-law.

Their mother-in-law.

Is this going to work?

The first step was to find great specimens

of this controversial figure in humankind.

After listening to many stories,

we found the stars of this show.

Starting with Rogéria,

who wanted a more beautiful, modest, more homely daughter-in-law.

Poor lady.

Thaís decides to take pictures in her underwear.

This whole thing messed with my head.

Because I'm as old as Adam.

Taninha's had it with her lazy son-in-law living with her.

Doesn't even know how to cook rice. They all depend on me.

This mother-in-law's anxiety is a trigger even for us.

Help!

It's what her name means.

There are normal anxious people. I'm an abnormal one.

Severina hasn't met her son-in-law yet and already hates him.

Even if he is the next Bill Gates,

to me he'll always be the guy who couldn't compromise

to get to know me and like me.

Cris thinks there is only room for one woman in her son's life.

Your home is your castle. Every castle can only have one queen.

Her son has been married 18 years now,

and Marcia's still not convinced.

It's not going to work.

They're too different.

Thiago will realize it soon enough.

Now, imagine having to live and bear with these mothers-in-law

with nowhere to run.

-She will break us up. -No.

-I don't have to like you. -Me neither.

I'm bleeding inside, son.

Will they be able to change the relationships?

This interaction is killing me, man.

Welcome to Stranded with my Mother-in-Law.

STRANDED WITH MY-MOTHER-IN-LAW

I had to be sneaky to bring them here.

Welcome!

I bold-face lied.

I'm here!

We pretended it was a couples' competition

featuring the mother of one of them,

to watch a challenge, comment, all that.

We couldn't let the ladies sleep in the elements.

So we made a village from scratch, in the middle of nowhere.

Guys, look at this place!

To make it more convincing, I welcomed the guests myself.

-No way! -Thanks!

You came here with a clear objective.

To fight for a prize of half a million reais.

Fuck!

-Good luck to you. -Thank you.

How cute! They think it's a couple program.

Too bad it isn't.

What does Rodrigo do?

I work in Sales at an IT company,

and we share a business.

We own a sex shop.

Awesome!

-Saucy! -Really?

-I love that. -Yes.

That's our mission.

-To help people have sex. -It's how we met.

-Organizing it well... -Everyone does it.

Everyone does.

We've been together ten years.

Even though we know each other, sometimes we need

something to shake things up a bit

in our routine after ten years.

-So these products... -Oh, really?

Felipe, you're a character.

-Great, Rodrigo. -It fucking helps.

I fell in love with Vini and Felipe.

I love their vibe. Just the kind of humor I like.

Let me tell you, hasn't been a year since we've met.

-Now, we're here. -Exactly!

It's wild, dude.

-You haven't met the mom? -No!

That's wrong, dude!

Only on video.

It was a typical first day in a reality show.

Everyone getting to know each other, and being nice.

-Shall we play? -Yes.

-Let's play. -What's it called?

"Never have I ever."

Never have I ever

felt like having a threesome.

I'll drink too.

-If you felt like it, you drink. -Fucker!

-Can I get a top-up? -A ménage... I mean...

-It's natural, man! -I'm kidding!

It takes three.

-He didn't say right now. -It's just a wish.

-Be open-minded! -Intention counts.

It would be with you, Barbie, and Susi Doll.

Oh, stop it!

I think they forgot their mothers were stopping by.

Wow, where is my mom?

Stop summoning mocking spirits, Vinicius.

Mocking spirits, Vinicius.

Mocking spirits, Vinicius.

Attention, couples!

Get ready for the first challenge of the season.

I'm waiting for you.

Okay.

Now my stomach is in a knot.

First challenge.

If I push it,

I could injure myself.

More challenges will come.

Let's give our all, but set our limit.

Don't kill yourself, you hear me?

Francine and I agreed off the bat. Let's kill it.

Physical activity is our strength.

Nowadays, their idea is to save money to travel.

They say, "We only live once. Got to travel."

My mom loves having us all living with her.

Gosh, I hope they move out soon.

When I think I'll have to cook...

Can't even cook some rice.

...do laundry, keep the house clean...

...that I'm as lazy as Francine.

I'm loving my easy life. I don't want to change it.

I really think I was born to serve.

It's my nature, the way I am.

I live in a 112-unit condo.

Currently, I'm their property manager.

What annoys me the most is how dramatic she is,

blows things out of proportion.

Here, you will see how I exaggerate.

She does everything for us...

I have to do everything. If it's up to them, it'll go wrong.

...and thinks that gives her the right to meddle.

I always tell him, just shut up and listen to her.

Just listen to her, and accept it.

What's the challenge, though?

We didn't have a clue. But we're here, so let's dive in.

Good morning, couples!

-Good morning! -Good morning!

This challenge has two steps.

In the first phase, you'll need to work together

to get to the deck in the water,

get a treasure, and bring it back with you to the beach.

As soon as you step on the sand, the second phase begins.

You need to go to the pole that has your color,

and hook the fabric up to your waist.

Once you untangle them,

the flag will slide down to the bottom.

But the challenge is only completed

when you place the flag on that base.

Your results will be what determines

your accommodations.

So, top finishers go to VIP.

VIP is everyone's dream lodging, of course.

I'll fight to stay there, it's got all the comfort I want.

-We want! -We do.

Basic, if you're in the middle.

-Two beds. -It has two beds.

There's a bathroom.

-A bit more off-the-grid. -A bit more off-the-grid.

Whoever places last, obviously goes rustic.

It's every bit as rustic.

-Like a bird's nest. -Yeah, it's...

-Actual mud. -Even ants.

Ants and all.

-It's sad. -It's complicated.

The beds are fine.

-It's the bathroom... -It's an outhouse.

-It's outside. -She has to go all night long.

-Cold showers. -You'll have to go outside.

-No. It's complicated. -Cold water.

You inevitably get rustic lodgings

if you fail to complete the challenge.

I'm terrified of this challenge. I have a phobia of waters.

I'll try. We'll see what happens.

We'll place the treasures on the deck now.

Maybe some real treasure,

something we might be able to use in the village.

Food, maybe? Drinks? We love a little booze.

And the treasures have arrived.

It's the mothers-in-law.

Oh, no!

I told you!

When I saw them there...

Fuck, I can't believe this.

For real? No!

There's my mom!

They have to be on that?
