Tell me who was there? Who 9 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 1: would you like? Who did you not like? And he 10 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:35,200 Speaker 1: said that you are a doll. He did, Oh yeah, really, 11 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 1: I promise you on the notes. No, that's like a 12 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 1: real story. No. I loved Bells like. I was also 13 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: like always the center of all of his stories and 14 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 1: my facial expressions. He told me like, I need you 15 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,520 Speaker 1: in the middle of my stories because your facial expressions 16 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: are everything because I'm just like my face was crazy. 17 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: But he's so great. That makes me happy that he 18 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 1: said that he's really great. I will be his biggest 19 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: supporter forever and ever. And I barely know him, but 20 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: he's amazing. My dream one day is for him to 21 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: be the host of Paradise and for me to be 22 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,319 Speaker 1: the bartender just so I get to watch him do 23 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 1: his thing. I would love that. But you want to 24 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: be the bartender? Yeah, I think we need to host. 25 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 1: I think everyone thinks that. Yeah, he's really good. Okay, 26 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: so you just said he told stories. How does this 27 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,680 Speaker 1: story time work in Paradise? Because I'm no, we're not 28 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 1: going to get them all on television. What goes on 29 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: behind the scenes? Um, so, Wells, we'll just say it's 30 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 1: Wells story time and then we all gather around the 31 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: bar and we'll we'll tell something crazy, and it's always 32 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: something crazy. I'll tell you that about what's happening on 33 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: the season, or about his life, No, not about his life, 34 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: about like people that are about to come into Paradise. 35 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: He's telling stories about people that are about to walk 36 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: down the stairs, and we all know that. Does he 37 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: tell you the name of the person or it's on 38 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: a suitcase? Really it's on a suitcase. So does this 39 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: prep you to be interested in the person walking down 40 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: the series? Or are they always stories that make you 41 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: go I would never date that. So this is not 42 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: this story, but like it was not something that would 43 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: make you want to date this person. Unfortunately, she's a 44 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: great girl. But this story that was told is pretty bad, 45 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: I got to say, and everyone heard it, and then 46 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: once she came down, I mean, it's kind of tough 47 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: once everyone heard that story about you to kind of 48 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: just forget about it and continue. So, yeah, she was 49 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: gone in an hour, So we get to look forward 50 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: to that during the season. Yes, I'm gonna be tuned 51 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: in for that. Well, you're a bartender to yourself. As 52 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: we talked about wells here, did you give any tips? 53 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: I didn't. I think Wolves knows better than me, so 54 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: I just let he's not a great bartender. I love 55 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: that man, but he's not awesome at making drinks. I've 56 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 1: had his drinks. He's good and he does he has 57 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,119 Speaker 1: a bartender by license. It's the shows that he has 58 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: on a good show. Yeah, but his drinks are not 59 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: like top of a line, I would agree. Alright, So, Genevieve, 60 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: you are back from Paradise. We have a lot to 61 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: catch up on your life, not only from Paradise but 62 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: from the season that you were on The Bachelor, because 63 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: there's a lot of things said, a lot of arguments 64 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: had that we didn't get clarity on. But to start 65 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: let's talk about Paradise. Um, as you say here today, 66 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: are you glad you went? Oh? Gosh, okay. I went 67 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: to Paradise with the hope that I would find my 68 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: person and get engaged. Um, so I wouldn't say that 69 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: I regret going, because I really went there with a purpose. 70 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: But um, after how it went, I guess it's I 71 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know if I would do it again, 72 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: I will put it that way. I hear it's fun it. 73 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: Um who told you that? Ben Ashley, my co host, 74 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: typically loved great. But you can say she's crazy. No, 75 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: not in general crying I'm going to be the one crying. Yeah, 76 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: it was. It was tough. It's just hot. It's not 77 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: much sleep in like you're just very drained. Yeah, she 78 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:04,119 Speaker 1: did say the sleeping conditions, they're tough. Um bugs, snakes, 79 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: snakes room, there's monkey. There's these they called Mexican raccoons 80 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: and they come into your room at night and they 81 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: dig through your stuff. And so we had one of 82 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: those dick through Victoria's stuff and like take her bubble gum, 83 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: take her like food. It was weird. He came three nights. 84 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: He pete on our couch. Swear it was so messed up. 85 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: And then we were just like worried, like when is 86 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 1: he going to show up? When we went to bed? 87 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 1: But do you not have doors? We don't have doors. 88 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: There's no doors, and it's all it's all like open, 89 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: there's no windows, there's no a c and it's just 90 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: open to the ocean and bugs flying in. It's this 91 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: not cool. And then you're trying to date. You're trying 92 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: to date. You're trying to date while being like so 93 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: hot and sweaty and being so tired. It's almost impossible. 94 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,359 Speaker 1: I've never been able to ask this then, but this 95 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: brings it up. I watched the show and people are 96 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,359 Speaker 1: like cuddling on the couches or let's say you're in 97 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: a relationship hip and you hook up, right, you're rolling 98 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: around the sheets. How are they doing that comfortably? So 99 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 1: no one went to the boom, no, no, no one. 100 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: But the air conditioned right it is. And so that's 101 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: why I went to Todd and I was like, Todd, 102 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: I just really need some sleep, and he's like no, 103 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 1: But I didn't want to go there with the guy 104 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: I was with, because like I wanted to go just 105 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: to cuddle and have a C. But at the same time, 106 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,479 Speaker 1: I was like, I didn't want them to make it 107 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: into something It wasn't like I truly just wanted to 108 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 1: like be a a C for ones and like cuddle 109 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 1: with a guy liked. But I think that it will 110 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 1: turn into something more if you were to do that. 111 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: So everyone is every no one. Everybody was just kind 112 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: of staying on the beach. Okay, So how are you 113 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: laying in the cabanas and not just dripping on each other, 114 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: dripping like sweat. You haven't bet to Paradise, Yeah, you're 115 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: dripping sweat. It's like you can't even like kiss someone 116 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: for too long without feeling like to like heated that 117 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: you need. It's it's tough. It sounds tough, but I 118 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 1: sound like I'm just complaining. But well, you're here today 119 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 1: and beautiful Las Vegas with me, so you made it 120 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: through it. Um, there are some storylines that I want 121 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: to tap into. Uh, you know, Cheney is obviously a 122 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 1: name you're gonna be asked a lot about. Um, did 123 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: you have any ideas you would be there? When you 124 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 1: said yes, I, Um, I was almost positive would be there, 125 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: just because I know a lot of people were hoping 126 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: she wouldn't be there, but honestly, um, she brought a 127 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: lot to the show, and I knew she would be there, 128 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: and I was just hoping for the best with it. Honestly, 129 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 1: I didn't want any drama like the first time around. 130 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: So you know, oftentimes in Paradise, we see redemption stories, 131 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: we see things change. Are you in Chanel on better 132 00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: terms today? So, um, I'm sure or everyone will be shocked. 133 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 1: But I went into Paradise with honestly not high hopes 134 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: that she was going to come in and apologize and 135 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: kind of like just focus on herself. UM. So that's 136 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: what I was expecting. But when she came in, she 137 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: really was just focused on herself and her relationships. She 138 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: didn't step on anyone's toes, she didn't try and mess 139 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: with anyone. Um. And we actually had to sit down 140 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: conversation and we both apologize to each other for like 141 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: whatever we said, and I felt it was genuine before 142 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: That's all I said before Paradise. I just want to 143 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: feel like she's genuinely apologizing and I don't want to 144 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: hold a grudge. I want to move on, And so 145 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: luckily we got to do that. We really did move 146 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: on and like, I became very close with her. How 147 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: does that feel for you? It feels good. But also 148 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: at the same time, I'm a little worried because of 149 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: what every like everything that happened on Clayton's season. I 150 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: don't want people to associate me with everything negative that 151 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: has been said about say, if that makes sense, Like, 152 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: I don't want to be because she was, you know, 153 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: talking about Elizabeth's a d h D. I don't want 154 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: to be associated with that. But at the same time, 155 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: she really came in and tried her best and like 156 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: and redeemed herself, So I believe it's right to give 157 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: her a second chance. Well, I think that's very right 158 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: of you. And it's awesome times what we see in Paradise. 159 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: People say things and they mess up during their time 160 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: on the show, and then they come on Paradise and 161 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: they either apologize or they've worked on themselves. And how 162 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: cool is it when you see somebody with and then 163 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: in the last eight months to a year of their life, 164 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: you know, work on themselves and grow to where we 165 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,719 Speaker 1: see them again on Paradise and they're maybe not a 166 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: different person, but they're a better person. Is that what 167 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: you want? In life to get better, of course. And 168 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: that's the thing. Like I even talked to on Um 169 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 1: on Paradise. She was like, I got so much hate. 170 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: She was like, I just like, I want to be 171 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: myself and I want to show people the real Nay, 172 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,319 Speaker 1: And I think she did that. Like I don't know 173 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,559 Speaker 1: what happened the first season, you know, there's so much 174 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: manipulation and all that, but she really did come in 175 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: and apologize and like not she did not want to 176 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: mess with anyone. She really did focus on herself and 177 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 1: who she liked and all that. She she wasn't worried 178 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: about anyone else, and that's all I wanted. It was 179 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: an apology in like a genuine conversation, and we had 180 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: that and it's great. Ah, that's beautiful. Well, I'm excited 181 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: to watch that play out. And I know I am too, 182 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: kind of because it's crazy. I don't think anyone's expecting it. No, 183 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: I see two adults sit down and say, I know 184 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: this has been hard, I know this has been weird. 185 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: I know we've heard each other in the process of this. 186 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: Let's grow and get better. That's good television to me, 187 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: It's good. That's what I'm saying, then we're just like, yeah, 188 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: we both like, we both apologize and we're just like, 189 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Because we got along very well the first 190 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,839 Speaker 1: few days in the mansion, and then all that stuff 191 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: happened and I felt like I had a stick up 192 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: for Elizabeth against her. But yeah, no, we got along 193 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 1: very well in Paradise. We definitely become close. All right, 194 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: let's talk about your life in between your time on 195 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: The Bachelor now and Paradise. Were you dating, What did 196 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: life look like? Were you out and about so in 197 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: between Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise, I was it was 198 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: tough for me. I was going to therapy a lot. 199 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: Not gonna lie like. I never was into therapy before, 200 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: but I was like, I need therapy. So I was 201 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,079 Speaker 1: kind of laying low honestly, Um, just trying to get 202 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: through it. I dated a little bit. Um. I'm very picky. 203 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: I like to meet people in person. Um. And I 204 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: also am not someone to go out often, so I 205 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: don't really like I don't meet people often. UM, but 206 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: I was I was trying to kind of like get 207 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: back into the swing of things. But I didn't feel 208 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: right going on dates. I just felt like I needed 209 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: to kind of like lay low until this season kind 210 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 1: of aired because it's so stressful. I'm sure you know, 211 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: like it's it's just stressful when the season is airing. 212 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: I don't think I answered your question. I'm sorry, No 213 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 1: you did. Yeah, so you're out trying to date. You 214 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: don't go out a lot. Did you find it easier 215 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: or harder to meet people after they knew you were 216 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,439 Speaker 1: on the Bachelor? Um, that's a good question. I feel 217 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 1: like it's harder because you don't know if they're into 218 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: you because of you or because they know you're on 219 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: the Bachelor. Not that it's like a big thing, but 220 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: some people think it is. You know, some people are 221 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: crazy and so Um. I think it was more difficult, 222 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: especially now, or especially between Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise. Um, 223 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: I don't know what people thought. It was heartbook and 224 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: I didn't want people to have the wrong idea of 225 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: me if I were going on dates and all this stuff. Um, 226 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 1: but I tried. I tried, and I just it wasn't 227 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: anyone for me. Is that why you said yes the 228 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: Paradise because you felt like it was an opportunity? Yeah? 229 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 1: For sure. I was so hesitant and I did not 230 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,839 Speaker 1: want to do it, but when I like, I know 231 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: that it works. I've seen like we've all seen it. 232 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: Um people are still together from it. And so I 233 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: truly just want to find my person and have a family, 234 00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 1: like I want to have kids like right now, and 235 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: so I was just going there hoping I would find 236 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: someone that I could have that with. Basically it works 237 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 1: sometimes it does work sometimes. My co host here that's 238 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: usually sitting right beside me, Ashley, who you guys would 239 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 1: get along great. I can tell that you guys are 240 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: very similar personalities. You mentioned that you are a crier, 241 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 1: your emotional So are we gonna see Ashley, I can 242 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: Eddie type tears, yes, maybe not, Like, yeah, you're going 243 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 1: to see a lot of tears. Like the first few weeks, 244 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 1: I couldn't even control myself, Like I was just sobbing. 245 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: I'm so tired of so hot, and I just was 246 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 1: like crying every day. And then after the few weeks, 247 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: the two weeks, I think I got kind of numb. 248 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: It was weird. I got kind of numb and I 249 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: just had no emotions. It is very strange. But for 250 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: the first two weeks, you're going to see nothing about 251 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: me crying unfortunately due to like due to your discomfort, 252 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: due to my discomfort in like how tired I was 253 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: and how hot it was. Just also like the fact 254 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 1: that I didn't have one guy that was there for 255 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: just me, and that's hard for me. Obviously, I think 256 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: it's hard for everyone, but you know I'd go on 257 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,319 Speaker 1: the show to not have that. Well, I got to 258 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 1: deal with it. Speaking of guys, there was something my 259 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: notes here and I had kind of forgotten and you 260 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: brought it to my you kind of like mention it, 261 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: but I was gonna wait for you to explain the 262 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,959 Speaker 1: whole thing and remind us all of what happened here. Um, 263 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,680 Speaker 1: there's notes here to ask about the truth behind you 264 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,719 Speaker 1: and Aaron Clancy, And so if you don't mind refreshing 265 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,439 Speaker 1: our memories of what that story was, and then we 266 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: can get into was it true, was it false? Is 267 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 1: it true? As it false? Com Um? So women tell 268 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,199 Speaker 1: all we um most of the women from Clayton season 269 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: were there, and I was in the hot seat with 270 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: Nay and Um, she and I were just having a 271 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: conversation and then I think like she just didn't really 272 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 1: know what to say, and she said, well, I went 273 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: home and I was sick and I was all, this, 274 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 1: but you went't Aaron Clancy, and she also said this 275 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: wasn't in it, but she said, and you Matt the bartender. 276 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: I can't. That's why I was so shocked. Who's a 277 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 1: bartender in Toronto that was married? I never even was 278 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: like it was just so That's why I was so shot. 279 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: I was like, you're saying this, he's married, and like, 280 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: please don't like no, um, so she said that, and 281 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: I mean I denied it because it is not true, 282 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: and people really believed it. A lot of people were like, Oh, 283 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: they're going on to just stay and all this stuff, 284 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: and I'm like, it just sucks because that is not 285 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: the case at all. And I hope that when people 286 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: watch this they don't think that is the case. But 287 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: also Jani during our conversation, she did admit to kind 288 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: of just saying that, to just saying that I hooked 289 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: up with him because she didn't know what else to say. 290 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: So that is hopefully that is on camera and hopefully 291 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 1: they'll show that because I don't want it to be 292 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: like I was talking to this person. I was making 293 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: a plan, trying to get on paradise and make it 294 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: far like it wasn't like that at all.

I posted a photo. I posted a 301 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: photo of me and him, silly of me, but that's 302 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: what she took and she said, okay, they were together. 303 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 1: They I think she just took that and ran with 304 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: it and said, okay, they must have hooked up. Um. 305 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: But that that's all there was. I was. I met 306 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 1: him at a bar and then I was at like 307 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: um after the final rose with him. But that's that's 308 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: all the rest to it. Okay. So we can be 309 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: excited about getting more clarity around this situation. For sure, 310 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: there will be. I'm I'm hoping there will be clarity 311 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: because it was talked about on Paradise and I'm just hope. 312 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: I'm hoping that it will show because I don't think 313 00:15:53,160 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: I deserve that and it really wasn't anything. Well, speaking 314 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: of guys, then you've mentioned to me already that you 315 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 1: went down to Paradise excited to try to meet somebody. 316 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: If we could flash back to Genevieve six months ago, 317 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: who were you most excited about seeing? Okay, um, I'm 318 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: just asking for three names. You don't need to give 319 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: me eight that's in your journal. Just three, okay, okay, Um. 320 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: I was excited to see Justin Glaze. I've been saying this. 321 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: I never met him. I just know good at my 322 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: a good amount when my friends are friends with him. 323 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: So I've heard good things and I thought it was 324 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: very handsome, and um, yeah, I was very excited to 325 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: meet him. There really wasn't anyone else on my list. 326 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: I just I am big in personalities. If you're so attractive, 327 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter if I meet you and I 328 00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 1: don't feel a connection with you. So I really feel 329 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: like I needed to meet everyone to be able to 330 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,439 Speaker 1: make that decision. Okay, So Justin was number one in 331 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: the list. Now were you open to meeting other people? 332 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: The first day before Justin walked down, all I wanted 333 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,679 Speaker 1: us to talk to Justin. Um, and so that that 334 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,919 Speaker 1: was a downfall of mine. I didn't even try and 335 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 1: talk to anyone else because I was stuck on Justin 336 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: even though I didn't really even know him. So I 337 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: do kind of regret that. But it didn't I mean, 338 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: it didn't last too long. It wasn't like it took 339 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 1: up a lot of my time, But um, I did. 340 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 1: I was very excited to meet him, and yeah, I 341 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,439 Speaker 1: didn't turn out the way I wanted it to.

It 360 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: was so hot I couldn't It was weird, like during 361 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: the day it would be okay some days, and then 362 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 1: at night so humid you couldn't even go outside without 363 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,440 Speaker 1: like throwing your hair up. So rosast ceremonies are rough 364 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: for me. I'll say that it's one of my favorite 365 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: parts is seeing the men standing there and they're like 366 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: linen shirts are now a different color, and then like 367 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 1: and seeing they're like the girl that's on their arm, 368 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,640 Speaker 1: have their arm around them, and just knowing that it's 369 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 1: just dripping, like they're just dripping. I mean, I love 370 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: my wife, but if I was soaked in sweat, I 371 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: don't think she's like putting her arm around me and 372 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 1: just resting it on my shoulders. I think she's like, 373 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 1: you need to go, you need to go clean. Uh.
