This week in the Journal,
we're comparing a superhero to a rock star.
Would you rather date Jace Norman or Ricardo Hurtado?
Let's start with presentation. Who cleans up the best?
Ah-ow!
Who-whoa!
What? You look hot.
- He's right. - I mean, he's not wrong.
It's hard to beat a good suit,
especially a tuxedo in a Hawaiian-themed dance party.
All right. Let's see what Ricardo's got going.
Whoa. How did this happen?
Without your eyebrows,
I can't tell if you're being nice, sarcastic or angry.
That doesn't help much.
How's this?
Got it. You're angry.
You know, I like it more when you're not mad at me.
Yeah, no, this one's super obvious.
Tuxes and eyebrows are the preferred look here.
Point to Jace, but appearance is a surface level item.
Let's see what counts on the inside
by comparing their manners.
I love you, man.
Oh, that's super sweet.
You know, we never say it enough.
Hey, wanna see a pic of my new bucket that I posted online?
No, not really.
Okay, this is taking a turn.
Buckets clearly mean a lot to him.
Nobody cares about your dog bucket.
Wow, not cool!
Let's see how Ricardo handles things.
I wonder how long we'll have to stay down here.
I'm already cold.
Oh, here.
You can have my jacket.
Chivalry is clearly not dead.
In fact, it's very much alive here.
Classic romantic move.
Hard to beat that one. Point definitely to Ricardo.
But with manners said, how much game do they have?
Let's compare flirting skills.
[chuckles] Cute.
What? Oh, the drinks.
Yeah. No, it's not for me. It's for my little sister.
Well I wasn't talking about the drink.
Uh...
A little tongue-tied there, uh, Jace?
What were you talking about?
I was talking about you, because I think you're cute.
[giggles]
I'm not entirely sure what kind of giggle that was,
but, a bit of advice, use your mouth words.
What I wanted to say is that...
I really, really like someone.
Oh, I like this strategy.
Leading with a bit of mystery. OK.
And I've liked her for a while now.
Here comes the pitch!
You have to tell me who she is!
I'll give you a hint.
She's standing in this hallway right now.
He swings! The ball is in the air!
And... Why is she looking at Penny?
I can't believe it.
I know, it feels so good to finally say it out loud.
You and Penny would be so cute together.
I'm so glad you feel that-- Wait, Penny?
Oh! Womp womp!
Well, at least he gave it a shot,
which is more than I can say for Jace's efforts.
Point to Ricardo.
There's a lot of fun to be had out on the town.
Let's see what kind of couples activities are happening.
Ah, Cactus Con, a convention for all things cacti.
Pretty, um, specific.
Whoa, close call there.
[laughs]
You just bumped into the world's most poisonous cactus.
How do you know that?
There's a sign that says it there,
"World's most poisonous cactus, don't bump into it."
And apparently it's a convention for all things risky, too.
Maybe not everyone's cup of tea.
And now for a very different kind of rush...
You want to call action?
No, that's OK, you can say action.
She's walking toward the building!
- Let's do it together. - Just do it!
Action!
Hey, if skating is your thing,
then maybe ollieing over your classmates
is more fun than the occasional adrenaline rush
of bumping into a poisonous cactus.
A tough call on this one,
but Ricardo seems to be in his element here.
But how are we getting to our time out on the town together?
Let's compare rides.
Oh, it looks like a high-tech RV!
You're in Schwoz's RV!
Yeah!
This is Schwoz's recreational vehicle.
Oh, sorry. I meant recreational vehicle.
And it's equipped for a full-on dance party?
[laughing] Sign me up!
No surprises here.
Ricardo's choice of ride is a skateboard.
What just happened?
However, it's only a ride for one,
so I'm going to go with the party van on this one.
Point to Jace.
With all that fun, we're going to need to go out to dinner too.
Where are they taking us?
Classy choice right here.
You feel that? You feel that warm bread?
- This is how bread should feel. - Right?
At a stakehouse, that is how bread should feel.
And the taste. Don't even get me started.
[both] Ah...!
All right, now for the main course.
Excuse me. Captain Man and Kid Danger?
- Huh? - What's up, big dog?
I'm sorry, but your names aren't on our dinner list.
Wait, wait, wait...
You're kicking us out?
What? You gotta be kidding me.
No, we just took a spot.
Well, that's one way to spoil a lovely steak dinner.
How unfortunate.
[screaming]
Why waste your time chewing
when you can just suck your lunch through a straw?
Um, I can think of a few reasons.
Oh, I can taste the pepperoni.
I've been eating everything wrong.
What? No, no, no.
Meals are not meant to be blended.
Oh, my...
[blender]
Well, these meal shakes seem to be super popular,
so there must be something to it.
Call me traditional,
but I prefer the way of the knife and the fork.
Jace, you definitely got this round.
As a couple, you have your go-to spots together.
Where are Jace and Ricardo taking us?
[pop music playing]
Dancing at Club Soda!
Better brush up on those moves because Jace has it down.

[cheering]
Hey, check it out.
And now for something completely different.
Wow, such a beautiful view.
That's pretty awesome.
It looks so red.
Yeah, it's called a Blood Moon.
I didn't know you were into astronomy, too.
Oh, yeah. For a little while when I was eight.
I wanted people to call me Cassiopeia,
but they just called me Peia.
So...
Definitely a quieter scene,
but a more intimate setting for sure,
On the dance floor or under the stars...
This is a tough one to pick.
Why choose? I'm giving a point to both on this one.
Once in a while your date has to treat you to something special.
What kind of gifts can we expect?
Wow. Look at this.
It's a red rose.
A red rose is classic,
but what if we want something more specific to us as a person?
I got you something.
Now that's what I'm talking about.
A bicentennial bucket?!
A good gift complements a person's interests,
even if those interests happen to be buckets.
Hey, what's in the box?
It's a present for you.
Solid work there on the box and wrapping.
Not everyone can wrap a present right.
A plushy octopus?
I love him!
Is he endangered?
He was the last one on the shelf.
Unusual, but kind of cute.
Good enough.
Good enough is fine,
but I think Jace's gifts were more to the heart.
Point to him.
But what is any date without good, clear communication?
It's the most important part of any relationship.
[beeping]
Anybody hear that beeping?
Is that his watch?
Oh, it is.
Hey, that's pretty cool.
♪ Good morning to you ♪
♪ Welcome to Wednesday Your face looks like poo! ♪
Not only can you talk,
but you can see the other person completely.
The way of the future, I guess.
Hey, Freddy.
Um, hello?
Freddy?
Hello?
Not a great sign so far.
I keep staring at the graceful curve of your neck?
Oh, he's writing poetry.
Freddy, are you writing a love letter?
A love letter!
Oh, how sweet!
I don't think that's been done in ages.
Ricardo sure does have
a classical romance streak to him.
that's walking the extra mile.
Ricardo gets the point on this one.
All right, final round.
What makes these guys extra special?
Maybe they have some hidden talent up their sleeves?
[club music playing]
Chef Jace in the house!
So, when he's not taking you to a steakhouse,
he's cooking gourmet himself.
I didn't know he had it in him. What a surprise!
Dinner is served!
Where did all the peoples go?
Hey, where did everyone go?
I think they left.
- Rude. - That is rude.
Let's hit the showers.
Let's see what you got, Ricardo.
♪ You get me You got me ♪
♪ You know me I know me ♪
Oh, um...
This is maybe not my genre.
♪ ...Or a telescope! ♪
♪ You lift me up! ♪
Maybe this is not his genre, either.
But, hey, it's the effort that counts.
Something's going on here.
Oh, what's this?
Yes! Yes!
All he needed was a little help from his friends!
Sing it, dude!
♪ Can't you see that people come and go? ♪
♪ Yeah, they think they know ♪
♪ Everybody going Speaking their mind ♪
♪ Yeah, the people come and go They don't know what we know ♪
♪ 'Cause we get it right Every time ♪
♪ And we don't think twice now ♪
Well, it's hard to choose between two talents
since gourmet cooking and a song is guaranteed to make you smile.
So, point to both.
And look at that!
Another tie!
Gotta hand it to both of them,
they both got it going on.
