The 1-star review that you read on the show sounds like it might be Brazilian, so my guess is that it would be in Brazilian Portuguese. I am unsure as to its English translation, however.

I think the answer to question one was well put, and realistic. To help the ‘hole in the roof’ guy further – to make a uberlong distance relationship work you need equal ammounts of cash, trust, attraction and commitment to make it work. I met my current girlfriend on WoW 6 years ago, and met her in person in Turkey (her home country) in March 2010 and hit it off. Since then we see each other two weeks at a time every 2/3 months, and I can vouch that having a loving and physical relationship is very possible.
HOWEVER, you need to be realistic. If you are not in a decent job (i.e you arn’t a teenager in full time study) that allows you to fund such a relationship, have trust issues or either of you have significant reason to not have regular successful VISA applications – forget it. And trust me, if like me you are charged like the average 20 something guy – months at a time with no sex while ignoring temptations (which carry little risk) is hard. And don’t forget she will likely be in the same situation.
Oh, and pick someone within the EU (if you are in the UK). Falling for someone outside of the EU is a real bitch on the immigration front. It’s a shame you can’t choose who you fall in love with.
In summary, go all the way or don’t go – and you both have to be equally as commited to make it work. Oh, and the essential long distance relationship toolkit includes facetime/skype and campaign co-op games.
Good luck!

The highschoolers were going 3 hours in opposite directions from their current location. The total drive one way to the other would be 6 hours as I understand the call.
But if the relationship is meant to be then distance is not relevant. Realistically – one or the other will find someone who will rock their world and free the other one up to find someone else
