17
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 2: down The Perfect Match episodes three and four. If you

18
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 2: haven't been a part of this yet, we're breaking down

19
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 2: the Perfect Match this season because Bachelor Nation has a

20
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 2: lot to do with this season of The Perfect Match.

21
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 2: We have two contestants now starting in episode three from

22
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 2: The Bachelor. Both Rachel and Clayton are on the beaches

23
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 2: in Tulom for the Perfect Match. We got to follow

24
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 2: their story. This is an exciting time for Bachelor Nation

25
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 2: to see if something can be rekindled after the massive

26
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:33,279
Speaker 2: heartbreaks that occurred during Clayton's season of The Bachelor, leading

27
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 2: Rachel to go on to be the Bachelorette with Gabby Wendy. Today,

28
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: we're gonna be breaking down both episodes three and four

29
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 2: together because this season is great, but it's long and

30
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 2: we need to start consolidating, or we're gonna run out

31
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 2: of time, like.

32
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 4: We don't mean run out of time, like before we die.

33
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 2: Or I feel like this could go on for like

34
00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: three months, like the show.

35
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 3: It's a really weird.

36
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: Thing when a show's streaming and it all gets released

37
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 2: and we're still talking about this like two and a

38
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 2: half months from now, and the show has been aired

39
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 2: for two and a half months and everybody's watched it.

40
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 2: I just feel like we'll get out of date.

41
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 4: I agree, And I wonder if the dating show model

42
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 4: lends itself better to week by week because people love

43
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 4: to analyze and like make theories and stuff. It's kind

44
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 4: of weird to have it all out there at once, right.

45
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like the binging thing. I also wonder I

46
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 2: don't know this world well enough. I wonder if the

47
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 2: money for a show is is better when it airs

48
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 2: week to week, Like, why would we ever do it

49
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 2: week to week if you're gonna get the same amount

50
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 2: of money for a show if people just binge it

51
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 2: in one night.

52
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 3: But here's the truth.

53
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 2: The press dies off and so the perfect match is

54
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 2: in everybody's thoughts right now, and it's all over the news,

55
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: especially episodes three and four, people are talking about and

56
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: in a month, nobody's gonna remember it, and so it's

57
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 2: kind of like a flash in the pan because it

58
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 2: comes and goes with a bachelor. It's all the only

59
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 2: thing people have in US weekly for two months as

60
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 2: it's airing exactly Okay, Easton, I'm going to get started

61
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 2: to just kind of get warmed up here. I know

62
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 2: there's a lot of nerves when it comes to co

63
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 2: hosting the Almost Famous podcast. There's a lot of responsibility.

64
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 2: So it's just like kind of rapid fires. Some thoughts.

65
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 2: How are you liking the show? Obviously you're here week

66
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 2: one we had Clayton and Ashley four, episodes two, you're

67
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 2: back for three and four, pretty far into this thing.

68
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 3: How you liking it?

69
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 4: And I'm loving it? I'm in It's a lot of fun. Again,

70
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 4: I don't watch a lot of these kind of like

71
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 4: dating reality shows, so I'm kind of like learning the

72
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 4: vibes and it's fun. I'm having a really good time.

73
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 4: I didn't know who any of these people were besides

74
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 4: Rachel and Clayton, and I'm loving him. I have like favorites,

75
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 4: I have people I dislike, and I'm like forming my

76
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 4: own relationships with these people. I'm forming my own perfect

77
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 4: match as I watched the show, and I'm having a blast.

78
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 4: I'm really joining this.

79
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 3: Who are you liking right now? Like, who are you

80
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 3: rooting for?

00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 4: I love a d and Ali. They're like my favorite couple.

82
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 4: I love them. I want I know, well you know,

83
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 4: we'll get into it, but I want them to adopt me.

84
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 4: I love them and Louis. I've come around on Louis.

85
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:36,679
Speaker 3: You were a fan of Louis at first.

86
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 2: I've been a fan of Louis not because I think

87
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 2: he's like the best dude in the world. He's entertaining

88
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 2: to me, and he's kind of like this. He's definitely

89
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 2: he actually he wants to not be twenty three. He's

90
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 2: definitely twenty three years old.

91
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, a big time. He threw me for a

92
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 4: curveball in episode three, and I enjoyed that. I thought

93
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 4: that was a lot of fun. He's really standing out

94
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 4: to me and we'll get it again. We'll get into this.

95
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 4: But I really enjoy Freddie too. I've really I really

96
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 4: liked Freddy on the date in this episode. Yeah, so

97
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 4: those but if I had to pick one favorite Ad

98
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 4: and Ali, I will die for them. I love them

99
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 4: so much.

100
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 2: I think they're fantastic and it's awesome to see a

101
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 2: dynamic that you watch them and you're like, you could

102
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 2: actually work. Like it's very clear you can work in

103
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 2: the real world and the perfect match is not set

104
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 2: up as we talked about with Clayton to build those

105
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 2: real relationships, but you can meet your partner anywhere. And

106
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 2: it feels like to me at this point that they

107
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 2: are a real couple who really enjoy each other and

108
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 2: who can make each other laugh, and they have this

109
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 2: dynamic Easton.

110
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 3: You're a married man.

111
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 2: They have this dynamic that only exists within like years

112
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 2: of marriage where you can kind of like joke with

113
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 2: the other person about what's annoying you and you just

114
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 2: know it without saying it. But the person's like, I

115
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 2: know I'm driving them crazy right now. And it's awesome.

116
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely, And like I was watching them and I

117
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 4: kept having to remind myself, like, oh, they've only known

118
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 4: each other a couple of days at this point, like

119
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 4: they four days, Yeah, four days, that's crazy. But like

120
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, they've been together six months at least

121
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 4: or a year. But yeah, it's really I know that,

122
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 4: like this setting lends itself to a very intense connection

123
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 4: very quickly, But I just think that they get along

124
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 4: so well. They seem so compatible to me.

125
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 2: Well, it starts out with eighty and Ali were kind

126
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 2: of transitioning from episode two. They're in the boardroom making

127
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 2: the decisions on behalf of the house they just signed.

128
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 2: They decide to send Louis and Alex on a date.

129
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 2: Alex is the one that Ali was really pushing to

130
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,359
Speaker 2: get into the home. I never felt like he was

131
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 2: doing it because he necessarily wanted to move on from Ad,

132
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 2: But I do think Ali was saying it with like, hey,

133
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 2: I wouldn't mind looking at her in the house for

134
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 2: the next few weeks.

135
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 4: Yes, And I mean Alex is attractive. And I got

136
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 4: to shout out this quote from her like introduction, I

137
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 4: just I loved I rewound it and watched this two

138
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 4: or three times. I am constantly horny, the sexiest fire

139
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 4: I've never been in love. So I want to save

140
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 4: my freaker side from my man if I find him here.

141
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 4: I am constantly horny.

142
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 3: I love that.

143
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 4: I want that on a T shirt.

144
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 3: Just walk around town.

145
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 4: I am constantly horny.

146
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 2: It's still amaze me since at the vulnerability and the

147
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 2: transparency that these contestants bring to the beach.

148
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 3: It feels like a theme of.

149
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 2: The season that they have found not only I don't

150
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 2: know what is it, ten attractive people, but ten very

151
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 2: vocal people about what they're on the beach four And

152
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 2: I enjoy it because again I go back to and

153
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 2: I sound like a record that's repeating itself. It makes

154
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 2: me uncomfortable, and I enjoy it because it's so different

155
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 2: than how I would function on a show like this.

156
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 2: And I enjoy watching it because I have respect, honestly

157
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 2: for their openness to just say, hey, I'm letting it

158
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 2: all out there.

159
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I'm with you. I think if I

160
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 4: was on the show, I would have completely differently than

161
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 4: they are. And so that's why I love watching this,

162
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 4: because it's like, oh, this is what it would be

163
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 4: like to be this open in this vocal.

164
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 3: This hot and horny all the time.

165
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, too hot to handle in a lot of cases.

166
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 2: Yes, So I think on this date you preface Alex's

167
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 2: kind of feelings going into this date. They are a

168
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 2: very attractive couple. They have a lot of physical chemistry.

169
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 2: Here's my take on the date. Though, louis like she

170
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 2: makes him nervous. I think he's all talk, that's my

171
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 2: take on him. He's coming out swinging from the very

172
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 2: opening of this show with how Smoothie is and what

173
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 2: he can offer somebody, and he's kind of confident and

174
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 2: he's there. He goes on this date with Alex. It

175
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 2: feels like she makes him shudder, meaning he is so

176
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 2: like intimidated.

177
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 4: Yes, I agree. And when they're on the date, they're

178
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 4: like in this pool and they do the underwater camera

179
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 4: and you can see Alex is like touching his leg

180
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 4: and at one point I think she's like playing with

181
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 4: his curly leg hair.

182
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 3: Which it's kind of a weird camera shot.

183
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, very very weird. But I can tell he's like

184
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 4: I got the same vibe that he's being. He's quietly

185
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 4: intimidated at this point and it's like, oh God, what

186
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 4: is this force of nature that I've been reckoning with?

187
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 3: I had to stop.

188
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 2: Like that shot made me feel awkward because I didn't

189
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 2: know what they were going to be showing underneath the water,

190
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 2: Like I don't need to know that she's touching his

191
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 2: leg hair and that he is enjoying it.

192
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 3: I didn't want to have to see that.

193
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 2: I didn't see it, luckily, but it felt like that's

194
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 2: what they were going to back us into.

195
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a We've talked about the camera work

196
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 4: in this show, like the the ims with the really

197
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 4: wide angle and like and this underwe the underwater camera.

198
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 4: Realizing that's an option, I'm like, oh god, what else

199
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 4: are we going to see with this thing? Now? I

200
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 4: know that's there?

201
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 2: Is there like a dude scuba diving like right next

202
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 2: to him, Like how is is this a drone camera?

203
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 3: Is it on a rope?

204
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 2: Like in my In My Years of Bachelor, they did

205
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 2: have some underwater shots, but it was a guy holding

206
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 2: this underwater camera. That shot was very close, so you

207
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 2: see like three ft away kind of floating into him.

208
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 3: Be like, oh my bad. Guys, Like.

209
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 4: That's the thing I keep reminding myself too, is like

210
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 4: they're they're doing this stuff. It's no different from Bachelor,

211
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 4: but like and there's like, you know, a guy like me,

212
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 4: like wearing a backwards hat and cargo shorts is holding

213
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 4: a camera like it's the at them.

214
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 2: So odd, that's so weird. Uh, this day doesn't have

215
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 2: a lot of like depth to it more than the

216
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 2: fact that they just feel like they're both into each other.

217
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 2: They're both there for similar reasons. They feel like very

218
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 2: similar humans. At this point Easton, it feels like to me,

219
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 2: there is no shot Louie is going with anybody other

220
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 2: than Alex.

221
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 4: Yep, but he's you know, he's really into Sandy. So

222
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 4: like when I saw this date, I was like, oh,

223
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 4: it's over. It's over for her. He's good. And they

224
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 4: keep showing other contestants talking about how Louis loves a

225
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 4: shiny new thing out Louis loves new things, like okay,

226
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 4: well here's a new thing. He's on a date with her.

227
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 4: It's over, and we learned that that is not the case.

228
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 4: It's very interesting.

229
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 2: It is very interesting. Freddie and Rachel are also set

230
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 2: up on a date. Remember this is all done by

231
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 2: Adi and Ali. The really funny dynamic. Here is Ady

232
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 2: back at the house. She's telling all the girls how

233
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 2: beautiful Alex is and how beautiful Rachel is, and how

234
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 2: nervous she is about her man, who also helped her

235
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 2: invite these people.

236
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 3: Into the home.

237
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 2: I enjoy these conversations because not only did it bring

238
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 2: some suspense to the show for me, where I'm like,

239
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 2: I get it, eighty, You're you're not wrong here, it's

240
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 2: also just funny and enjoyable to see contestants on a

241
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 2: rally show in a lot of ways be supportive of

242
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 2: other people, like Ady was saying, nothing more than just like, gosh,

243
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 2: dang it, these people are pretty coming in here.

244
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 3: I don't like it.

245
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's again this like uh mechanic of bringing in

246
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 4: the new people through the boardroom. It's so it's so

247
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 4: interesting and it makes you like it adds so many

248
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 4: different layers to how you're playing the game here. But yeah,

249
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 4: I mean, eighty's really excited about everyone that could potentially

250
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 4: be coming in and uh and what she ends up choosing. Rachel.

251
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 4: Rachel Rekia are our favorite person someone I've spent a

252
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 4: lot of time with. Rachel. I was like seeing a

253
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 4: friend on screen. It was really cool.

254
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 2: It was I haven't seen her on screen a long time.

255
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 2: This felt like a very good, like Dan Namic, for

256
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 2: her to kind of walk in late meet this guy.

257
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 2: Both these dates Easton, in my mind, were perfect setups

258
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 2: if they were gonna break up a couple currently existing

259
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 2: in the house. It was just remind everybody, it's Freddie

260
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 2: and Madison still in the villa up to this point.

261
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 2: It was Louis and Sandy in the villa up until

262
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 2: this point. It felt like they hit a home run

263
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 2: when it came to breaking up these relationships because both

264
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 2: dates feel really good to me, and they feel like

265
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 2: very similar people.

266
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 3: Freddie.

267
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 2: If you listen to our last episode where Clayton co hosted,

268
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 2: he talks about just how great of a dude Freddy is.

269
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 2: He's everything you think he isn't and more. Rachel's an

270
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 2: amazing person, and so in my eyes, I'm like, Rachel

271
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 2: found her guy. There's gonna be no drama between her

272
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 2: and Clayton. They might even just say hi to each other,

273
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 2: but there's no way there's any crossover here. There's no

274
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 2: way these two entertained getting back together. That would be

275
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 2: foolish for them to try to do.

276
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, this painting. Date is so cute and they seem

277
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 4: to be getting along great. And Rachel Rekia we know

278
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 4: her very well. She's gifted in many, many ways. Painting

279
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 4: is not one of her talents. I'm sorry, Rachel.

280
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 3: She can fly a plane. She cannot paint.

281
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 4: She cannot she cannot paint.

282
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 3: It is.

283
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 4: I'm going to say it right here. It's just the

284
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 4: worst painting I think I've ever seen. This is all

285
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 4: just abysmal. It made me want to turn the TV

286
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 4: off when I saw that painting. But that there, the

287
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 4: date is so cute, and I'm like, oh my god,

288
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 4: this is it. And I keep tricking myself because I'm like, oh,

289
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 4: this is this is her mat. She found her guy.

290
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 4: They're going to ride up in the sunset. Oh no,

291
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 4: how wrong I was.

292
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 5: Oh God, okay, I have to put you on to

293
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 5: these leggings I've been obsessed with lately. They're from this

294
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 5: brand called Tona, and get this, the designer behind them

295
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 5: also created Lululemon, so they know what they're doing. These

296
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 5: leggings are next level, think butterysoft, super flattering, and very comfortable,

297
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 5: but they're also very supportive in the right places. So

298
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 5: I started wearing them when the kids and I go

299
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 5: out to play, and now I'm basically living in them

300
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 5: twenty four seven. And here's what makes them even better.

301
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 5: With every payer you buy, it helps fund a mental

302
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 5: health counseling session for a teen in need. Isn't that

303
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 5: so awesome? Tona is on a mission to end teen

304
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 5: suicide and self harm, which we think is so important

305
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 5: and so incredible of them, So we partnered with Tona

Speaker 2: And Alex's return from their date, Sandy says that her

311
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 2: stomach has dropped. Also, Freddy and Rachel returned back to

312
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 2: the villa from their date, and as Easton was kind

313
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 2: of referencing there, we have to remember that Clayton is

314
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 2: still at the villa with no idea that Rachel is

315
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 2: going to show up. Clayton is shocked. In fact, Easton,

316
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 2: we were all shocked. It's fun to see the two

317
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 2: of them together in a house that we can watch.

318
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 2: We have gotten to see it on an almost famous

319
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 2: podcast trip before there did seem to still be sparks,

320
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 2: so I wasn't shocked that maybe they would entertain each other.

321
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 2: But I was also thinking, at this point Rachel's with Freddy,

322
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 2: Clayton is not even going to get the time of

323
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 2: day from Rachel.

324
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 3: Why would she do that again? That would be.

325
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 2: Crazy interesting takeaway. It feels like most of the house,

326
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 2: if not all of the house, had no clue that

327
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: Rachel and Clayton would know each other.

328
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, it seems like most of the people there, maybe

329
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 4: all of them have not seen The Bachelor before, Like

330
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 4: they seem very like they're aware of it, but.

331
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 3: I don't know.

332
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 4: There wasn't anyone that was like, oh my god, it's Raly,

333
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 4: it's Clayton from The Bachelor, like like they have those

334
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 4: reactions to other people like Juliette got a big pop

335
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 4: from a O. The csta key fans out there were

336
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 4: losing their minds. Uh, But they didn't know they had it,

337
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 4: that they knew each other A littlone had this dramatic

338
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 4: history and uh. Clayton says that the last time he

339
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 4: saw Rachel in person was about a year ago, and

340
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 4: I was thinking about that, and I'm like, was that

341
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 4: the Almost Famous trip. I got so excited because I

342
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 4: mean I wasn't there personally, but I was like, oh

343
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 4: my god, that's I wish. I was really hoping he'd say, yeah,

344
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 4: it was about a year ago in Pebble Beach, California

345
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 4: with the almost Famous podcast. But then actually I.

346
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 3: That you can listen to it anywhere.

347
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you can listen to my immediate reaction. I

348
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 4: think I talked about it on the on the podcas. Yes,

349
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 4: but yeah, they're their reaction or their reunite recarnunion, Yeah,

350
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 4: their reunion. I was expecting it to just be like, oh, hey,

351
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 4: I'm doing I'm here too, like it's it's good to

352
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 4: see you, like may the best man win, and then

353
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 4: just kind of like going their merry way. Oh god, Uh,

354
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 4: it didn't happen. How did this happen? Like, like, how

355
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 4: did they how did that sparkt re ignited it?

356
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 2: I think it was a hello to a can we

357
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 2: come talk conversation where it and it happens at the

358
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 2: end of the night. I think both had had started

359
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 2: to realize that if not for each other, they were

360
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 2: going home. You know, the beauty of reality television and

361
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 2: how these shows are set up. Nobody really wants.

362
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 3: To go home.

363
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 2: You don't say yes to this experience, and you don't

364
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 2: get in shape for this experience. You don't buy clothes

365
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 2: for this experience. You don't start prepping for this experience

366
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 2: with the idea that, yes, I'm just going to give

367
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 2: it a good couple hour shot.

368
00:18:58,920 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 3: Here.

369
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 2: There's a lot of reasons why you want to stick around.

370
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 2: I think that is something that we have to remember

371
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 2: when it comes to the Clayton Rachel dynamic. Is it

372
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 2: definitely felt like Clayton had no interest in Juliette any longer,

373
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 2: that the two of them were holding on by a thread,

374
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 2: and that he knew if he didn't make the move first,

375
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 2: she would be probably dumping him as soon as she

376
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 2: was set up on a date with somebody she liked

377
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 2: just a little bit more. Rachel comes into a house

378
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 2: with some strong couples that already exist, and really her

379
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 2: shot is with Freddie kind of shockingly because I don't

380
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 2: see it, Freddie, the Freddie Madison relationship. I definitely see

381
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 2: that Freddi Rachel. I don't see the Freddy Madison relationship.

382
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 2: You know, Freddie seems pretty stuck on Madison. He comes

383
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 2: pretty much right back to her when he walks into

384
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 2: the house. This all comes up to Nick Lachey kind

385
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 2: of sharing with us the two ladies will be leaving

386
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 2: at the end of the night. So two of these

387
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 2: ladies that are in the house currently people who have

388
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 2: you know, been in cup relationships previously on the Perfect

389
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 2: Match and some of those newbies could be going home.

390
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 2: Alex and Rachel obviously newbies, but they had great dates.

391
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 2: This brings us to I think the Perfect Match we

392
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 2: would call like the cocktail party where everybody starts to

393
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 2: have to come together in some way to see who's

394
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 2: going to match and who's not.

395
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I was thinking about the Madison Freddie relationship

396
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 4: and like Freddy goes on the date with Rachel and

397
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 4: Madison's just bawling. She's like so sad. Yeah, And I

398
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 4: think I can't remember who said it. It was Louis

399
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 4: or one of the British guys was like, oh, you

400
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 4: think that he just went away to wool and I'm

401
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 4: like yeah, yeah, I'm like screaming my TV. I'm like,

402
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 4: you've known each other for like seventy two hours, why

403
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 4: are you reacting this way? And I know they just

404
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,719
Speaker 4: want to you know, they want to hang on, they

405
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 4: want to hang onto each other, they want to stick around.

406
00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 4: It's Ollie says that she's that Madison's manipulating him with

407
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 4: her tears. This made me I'm not a Madison fan

408
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 4: at this point. I don't like Madison. I want her

409
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 4: to be castaway immediately. And but you know, then we

410
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 4: start this game of musical chairs at this cocktail party.

411
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 4: We're going to figure out who who has to go

412
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 4: home and and who gets to stay. There's a lot

413
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 4: of interest in Alex at this party. A lot of

414
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 4: people have a wandering eye.

415
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 2: Yes, Madison, you know, she was kind of a character,

416
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 2: not top of mind until this moment. She was so

417
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 2: emotional that it did rub me the wrong way. What

418
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 2: you came on this show. You just met this guy

419
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 2: the day before, you're so sad. It feels it does

420
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 2: feel in a lot of ways where Freddie is a

421
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 2: sensitive fella, that this will play into his decision making

422
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 2: because he doesn't want us to make Madison cry. I just

423
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 2: don't see it, Easton, I don't see it frustrates me

424
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 2: like it frustrated you. I don't like that she's doing this.

425
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 2: Everybody else there is handling it with respect and humor,

426
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 2: where it's like, gosh, dang it, yeah, our guy went

427
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,239
Speaker 2: on a day with hot girl, or our girl went

428
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 2: on a day with the hot guy. She absolutely breaks down,

429
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 2: which to me would be in a lot of ways

430
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 2: a red flag on a show like this, where it's like,

431
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 2: how emotional can you really get after forty eight hours

432
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 2: of knowing somebody that they just went on a date

433
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 2: that they didn't even choose to go on. They got

434
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 2: told they were going on it. It's not like he

435
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 2: was like asking for it.

436
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 4: That's true. It's so bizarre, But you know, I guess

437
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 4: that this is the nature of perfect.

438
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 2: Match and anyway to see some relationships. Alex is getting

439
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 2: a lot of attention from the guys. It is a

440
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 2: very superstar moment for her. She comes into the house

441
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 2: and every head turns. I think that almost goes against

442
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 2: her because so many people are interested in her that

443
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 2: I think a lot of the guys are nervous to

444
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 2: even talk to her because they know that if they do,

445
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,959
Speaker 2: they might get convinced to go a different direction. I

446
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 2: also don't know how much interest she showed anybody other

447
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 2: than Louie. I mean, I think there was obviously some

448
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 2: some single men in the house or some men that

449
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 2: were a lot more accessible to switching to somebody new

450
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:38,199
Speaker 2: than Louie. But I kind of feel like she didn't

451
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 2: play it as hard as she could have. I think

452
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,719
Speaker 2: she had Clayton. She could have gotten Clayton in a second.

453
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 2: I could honestly have seen her. I don't know where

454
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 2: Freddy's mind was at. It felt like Freddie was very

455
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 2: much a free agent, but shockingly he maybe isn't.

456
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 3: It just didn't it didn't make sense.

457
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree. At one point, Ollie talks to her

458
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 4: and again, like you know we said earlier, like I

459
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 4: think he just wants to have her around because she's

460
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 4: nice to look at, and it's like, oh, it would

461
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 4: be fun to just kind of have her nearby. But

462
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 4: I don't think we're gonna be the match. But I agree,

463
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 4: she's only really shown interest in Louie and I, you know,

464
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 4: I wonder if she she's from Temptation Island, so I

465
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,239
Speaker 4: wonder if she is aware of Louis's reputation. I do

466
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 4: really I enjoyed they go on like a they go

467
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,199
Speaker 4: off on their own, Louis and Alex and they do

468
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 4: like a speed dating thing because Louis like really trying hard,

469
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 4: like do I need.

470
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 3: To This is so funny. I forgot this scene.

471
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,120
Speaker 4: It's so good. Uh, he's trying to decide if he's

472
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 4: gonna leave Sandy and go with with Alex, And something

473
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 4: I just thought was funny is he's like, uh, we

474
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,400
Speaker 4: need to do a speed dating thing here, like let's

475
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 4: get to know each other. And then like then he

476
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 4: has just nothing to say, he has no question. She's like,

477
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 4: you ask me a question, are you are you interested

478
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 4: in anything? He's like, uh, what's her favorite color?

479
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 3: So good?

480
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 2: It's such a I mean, that's what I'm saying. I

481
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 2: think she throws Louis off.

482
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

483
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 2: I don't think he has the confidence that he communicates

484
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 2: and has shown most of the season. I think she

485
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 2: intimidates him and he's nervous about that. For whatever reason,

486
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 2: she makes him so nervous and you see it there. Well,

487
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 2: this kind of goes back and forth. It comes all

488
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 2: back to the Clayton and Rachel conversation. Ultimately, no big

489
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:39,919
Speaker 2: shockers here. Ali Ndy match. First, then you have the

490
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 2: Freddie and Madison match. I think that is a shocker,

491
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,120
Speaker 2: but we've kind of talked to that here, and at

492
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 2: that point, Rachel's seeing that maybe this date that she

493
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 2: went on is not going to be something that keeps

494
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 2: her around. Daniel and Lucy match not surprising. So we

495
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,199
Speaker 2: have Rachel and Clayton, we have Louie still sitting out

496
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 2: there deciding between at this point Sandy and Alex, Clayton

497
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 2: wants Rachel to match. Yeah, Easton, as we live in

498
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:19,199
Speaker 2: this vacuum and in this moment, I hear this and

499
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 2: see this, and I am saying, I remember when Rachel

500
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 2: co hosted a show with us, and I feel like

501
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 2: I asked her. I said, there's no way you got

502
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 2: back with Clayton, right, and she didn't answer me. I'm

503
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 2: at this point going, what are you doing?

504
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 3: Rachel?

505
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 2: I get it because I want Rachel around. And so

506
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 2: there is this side of me Easton when it comes

507
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 2: to gameplay that's saying, Rachel, just say yes, but don't

508
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 2: get too invested into this and wait until the next

509
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 2: week when somebody knew is here. I want you on

510
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 2: this show, so just do what you gotta do to

511
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 2: get on the show.

512
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 3: But there's a twinkle in her eye that.

513
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 2: I see that makes me feel like goodness gracious, Rachel,

514
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 2: you're still into this guy, like this is real for you.

515
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,959
Speaker 4: I got the exact same vibe and we see, you know,

516
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 4: things go different way later on and we see her reaction,

517
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 4: and I felt so bad for her because, like, going

518
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 4: into this, I was remembering how Clayton treated her on

519
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 4: The Bachelor, and I was like, oh, there's no there's

520
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 4: no way, there's no way. But like when you're especially

521
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 4: in this, you're in tu loom, you're in this like

522
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 4: you're back in a very similar scene. How easily can

523
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 4: you slide back into those emotions or remember those initial

524
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 4: connections you had? That's those are hard to ignore in

525
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 4: those in those situations, Clayton says something to her that

526
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:52,439
Speaker 4: I found that really stuck out to me. I enjoyed.

527
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 4: He said, I believe everything happens for a reason. It's

528
00:27:55,200 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 4: the screensaver on my phone. That's so good. With respect

529
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 4: to Clayton.

530
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 3: So deep, goodness, gracious, have never heard it before.

531
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 4: It's so deep, you know. So then after that moment,

532
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 4: anytime I was watching this with my lovely wife Allison,

533
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 4: but after anytime someone would like kind of say like

534
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 4: a cliched platitude or something, we would just go. It's

535
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 4: a screensaver on my phone.

536
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I'm always horny.

537
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 4: Is the screensaver on my phone? And I wonder if

538
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 4: Clayton actually does have a have his log screen just

539
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 4: say everything happens for a reason.

540
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 3: I hope he does, and I hope it helps him.

541
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 4: Bless his heart, it helped him make this decision. Wants

542
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 4: to get back with Rachel.

543
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 2: Pause here for a second. Allison does watch this with you.

544
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 2: She's not big into reality television either. Is she enjoying

545
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 2: the perfect match?

546
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: She is?

547
00:28:55,160 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 4: She is tolerating the perfect match. I would She's not

548
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 4: at home right now desperately wanting to watch episode five.

549
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 4: But she had fun and she like I was just

550
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 4: I put it on, and I'm like, oh, she's gonna

551
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 4: be on her phone immediately, But she was like locked

552
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 4: in and she kept like pausing it to be like, Okay,

553
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 4: here's what I think Allie has to do here. So

554
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 4: she got more locked in than I was expecting. So

555
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 4: I think she's more into it than she's letting on too.

556
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it is it's Jessica for me. They're

557
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 2: both big readers. I thought she was just gonna be

558
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 2: kindling the whole time during this show, but no, she

559
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:33,719
Speaker 2: watched it also, which shocked me and surprises me at

560
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 2: every level. I don't know what it is about this show,

561
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 2: but we're hooked. Rachel and Clayton end up saying yes,

562
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 2: let's match. We see them go back to the room together.

563
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 2: It feels comfortable and also uncomfortable in a lot of ways,

564
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 2: where they're kind of reintroducing each other to one another,

565
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 2: even though they have had a history. They will now

566
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 2: be spending the night together in this hotel room for

567
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 2: the first time in years since Clayton was the bachelor

568
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 2: in the Fantasy suitees week, which we all know, you know,

569
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 2: blew up in his world and also hers. She was crushed.

570
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 2: But they say yes to each other. It is a

571
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 2: source of comfort for them to regnite in tou Loom.

572
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 2: Then we get into the Louis situation. Going into this evening,

573
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 2: I thought there was no question he was going to

574
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 2: be going with Alex, but we see something in Louis

575
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 2: that I don't know. I think it's a big moment

576
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 2: for Louie. I don't know if anybody has ever seen

577
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 2: this from Louis before, where the shiny new thing even

578
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 2: though it's shiny, very shiny. He says, no, I'm going

579
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 2: to go back to what I have. I think it's

580
00:30:56,120 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 2: a great moment for him when we should celebrate what

581
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 2: he's pushing to get with Louis. Juliette at this point

582
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 2: is saying, Hey, Louis, we're friends. Let's just make this

583
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 2: thing work, and he kind of laughs and says there's

584
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 2: no way. Sandy comes into the conversation not wanting to

585
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 2: work hard at convincing him. She just pretty much says,

586
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 2: do you do what you want to do. I'm not

587
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 2: going to try to convince you here. And I love that.

588
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 2: There's like a confidence in Sandy. And Alex is sitting

589
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 2: off to the side, fully expecting Louis to come back

590
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 2: to Alex, but he doesn't.

591
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 3: He picks Sandy.

592
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 4: It's beautiful. It's a big moment of growth for Louis.

593
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 4: For me personally, I don't know if he was actually

594
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 4: going through growth, but at least my experience, YEA a

595
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,479
Speaker 4: living like, Wow, this guy's really like learning about like

596
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 4: connecting emotions to these to these feelings he's having and

597
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 4: looking at a future with this person, not just what

598
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 4: is exciting to me right now. However, we can't ignore

599
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 4: that during his speed dating with Alex, she she said

600
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 4: something about well, like I think she said something like

601
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 4: you seem like the type of guy that needs more

602
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 4: than one person or something, but like I'm down to share.

603
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 4: And he's like, oh really, and he's like saying, hmm,

604
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 4: what can I And so then he and then, with

605
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 4: the confidence of a twenty three year old man on

606
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 4: a reality show, he walks over to Sandy and he's like,

607
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 4: maybe a thriple situation and she's like, no, not at all.

608
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 4: And he's like, Okay, what a shot.

609
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 3: But I forgot that.

610
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 4: At that moment, He's like, I think he realizes what

611
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 4: he stands to lose, and he and he stays with Sandy.

612
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 4: It's really it is really beautiful. I do feel bad

613
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 4: for Alex because she she is only there for a day, right, Like,

614
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 4: she goes home immediately.

615
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 2: And it feels like she, in her mind did all

616
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 2: the right things. She petted his leg, talked about throples,

617
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 2: and I think she thought, Hey, what else could I

618
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 2: have on here? Yeah, we didn't get to know Alex well,

619
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 2: there is really one storyline that we got to know

620
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 2: about Alex. It is beautiful, though, and I don't know

621
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,239
Speaker 2: if Louis would say that this was a moment of

622
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 2: growth for him or not, but it felt like it.

623
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 2: It felt like he was processing a lot slowly, but

624
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 2: processing it and deciding that, no, this Sandy is somebody

625
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 2: I am intrigued by, interested in.

626
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 3: And it's good for me. Let's stick together.

627
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 2: Their relationship skyrocketed to a depth that did not exist before,

628
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 2: so maybe this will end up being good for them.

629
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 2: But one thing that is never good for a couple

630
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 2: Easton is to see your committed partner in a monogamous

631
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 2: relationship make out with somebody else in front of you

632
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 2: in a lot of ways, or at least right beside you.

633
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 2: And that's what happens next in the Perfect Match, because

634
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 2: goodness gracious, that's what the Perfect Match is. The next day,

635
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 2: as everybody wakes up from the craziness of the night before,

636
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 2: we have said goodbye to Juliette at this point, who

637
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 2: says that Clayton and Rachel are going to be boring.

638
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 2: Nick Lache introduces us to something that I'm guessing is

639
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 2: tradition on this show, the kissing challenge, where all of

640
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 2: your senses are muted and you are now to kiss

641
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 2: every person in the house and rate it. A few

642
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 2: issues I have with this. One is obvious it's gonna

643
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 2: only affect the stronger couples.

644
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:31,720
Speaker 4: Yes.

645
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 2: The second is, how do you not know who you're kissing?

646
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 2: Even like all these people are either big or they're small,

647
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:43,959
Speaker 2: they have beards or they don't. You gotta be knowing

648
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 2: who you're kissing at any given moment. There's no surprises here.

649
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean, if you're like really just out of

650
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,760
Speaker 4: it and not paying attention, how could you at least

651
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 4: not know that you were kissing Alie? Like he had

652
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,399
Speaker 4: to be the one who like he's the only guy

653
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 4: with the giant beard.

654
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 2: Uh.

655
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 4: It's you know, and at the very least, like the

656
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 4: person you're matched with. You probably hopefully you've unless you're Clayton,

657
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 4: you've been kissing a lot at this point.

658
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 3: Uh.

659
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 4: And you probably know how they how they work their mannerisms.

660
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 4: This Uh, this kissing competition, the Waivers people must sign

661
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 4: to be on this show. It's crazy to me. Allison

662
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 4: called this consent to the game, and I was like,

663
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:31,439
Speaker 4: oh my god. Uh, But then I was also, we're

664
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 4: watching them do this. They're wearing they're wearing blindfolds and

665
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 4: the ring these like these noise canceling headphones or something,

666
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 4: and they're just making out all at the same time,

667
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 4: all in a row, and we're hearing like music, you know,

668
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 4: royalty free music in the background. And but I'm wondering

669
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 4: at that, like Nicolache is standing there, is it just

670
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 4: like you just hear the sounds of the beach and

671
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 4: this just kissing noises. It must be such a gross

672
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 4: like thing to listen to as a crew guy there.

673
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:58,399
Speaker 4: I couldn't stove thinking about that.

674
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is one of the things with audio.

675
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,280
Speaker 2: I remember talking about this when I was The Bachelor,

676
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 2: because you're miked up all the time, you know, you

677
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 2: go to the bathroom, you forget that you're miked up

678
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,439
Speaker 2: after a while, you're kissing the noises like these poor

679
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 2: audio people have just heard the worst of the worst,

680
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 2: Like they mike up all the people at you know,

681
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 2: seven o'clock in the morning. At nine thirty, they're just like,

682
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 2: goodness gracious to turn them off. Nickolas Chay's job here

683
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 2: is so weird.

684
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 3: He's he's gotta be.

685
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 2: He's really though, fell into his his groove with Netflix

686
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 2: and all of these odd shows that he hosts, and

687
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 2: he hosts it in such a way that does bring humor,

688
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:45,439
Speaker 2: but also just he feels disconnected. Honestly, he's just one

689
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 2: more body there, full of all these bodies kissing each other.

690
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 2: I think this game gets better Easton if they're gonna

691
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 2: play this game, like why blindfold and why put noise

692
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 2: canceling headphones on? You know who you're kissing, Let's really

693
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 2: make it awkward and make them look at each other, like,

694
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 2: let's make them recognize what's about to happen. I feel

695
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 2: like these blindfolds and noise canceling headphones are really just

696
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,919
Speaker 2: an excuse to make this feel like it's acceptable.

697
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 3: Yes, I agree, I don't know if it works.

698
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 2: You're rating people of you know, I questioned the couples

699
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 2: that didn't rate their partner super high. But again we

700
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,879
Speaker 2: go back to our love for Ady and Ali and

701
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 2: they give each other amazing scores. Eighty gave Ali a ten.

702
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 2: How sweet and cute is that?

703
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 4: I love it. There's a point in this challenge where

704
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:49,280
Speaker 4: Freddy reveals that he eats thirteen boiled eggs every morning

705
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 4: and a tomato a baker's dozen eggs every morning, and

706
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 4: I can't remember why he said that it was like like,

707
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 4: look how good I am with my lips or yeah,

708
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 4: I don't. I wrote that down. I was like he

709
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 4: eat thirteen boiled eggs every morning. I don't remember what

710
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 4: the context was, but we get to learn that about Freddy. Oh,

711
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,879
Speaker 4: they thought it was a food challenge at first, before

712
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 4: they start the challenge. That's why he brings that up.

713
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 4: And and also just you know, before we move too

714
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 4: far on from the the blindfold. I was just thinking,

715
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 4: like if I was doing this challenge, I keep putting

716
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:29,280
Speaker 4: myself in these situations.

717
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 3: I think we all did have to.

718
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 4: I was like, they'd be we'd all be lined up

719
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 4: in a row, ready to like do the kissing, and

720
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 4: I'd be on my hands and knees trying to find

721
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 4: like where I'm supposed to stand stepping off the platform

722
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,439
Speaker 4: or something. Ye like, it would just be sad.

723
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 2: I'd be Freddy pecking. He has an amazing scene of

724
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 2: just pecking people he can't find their lips.

725
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 4: He kisses like a bird. Yeah, there's there's I don't

726
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 4: get how people don't know they're kissing Alie that that's something.

727
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 4: And I like Lucy gave all the A ten and

728
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 4: I see that, and Daniel gets all mad that, like

729
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 4: he's like, how do you not know it was him?

730
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 3: Yeah?

731
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 4: And I have to agree, And that's why I like,

732
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 4: I don't want to think that like there's any producer

733
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 4: manipulation here, But I'm like, how could part of this

734
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 4: not be cooked a little bit? You know, like it's

735
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 4: just such a weird competition.

736
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know who you're kissing? Yea if. But at

737
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:23,399
Speaker 3: the same time, kind of.

738
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 2: Like Clayton was saying last time he was on the

739
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 2: show last you know, last episode, it there is gameplay,

740
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 2: but there's also not. I think a lot of these

741
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:34,320
Speaker 2: people are just kind of winging it and having fun

742
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 2: and they're not really thinking, oh, I should give my

743
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 2: partner the highest score because I'll win it and.

744
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 3: Then we get to go to the boardroom.

745
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 2: I think a lot of them are still just like

746
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:45,320
Speaker 2: having fun and being funny and doing crazy stuff.

747
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

748
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 2: I mean we see it with Louie. Obviously you would

749
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,760
Speaker 2: know if you're kissing Louie or Clayton. But Sandy gives

750
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 2: Clayton a ten not and Louie gets mad and you

751
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 2: know that that wasn't Louie. So you're giving somebody a

752
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 2: ten who you know is not your part, and that's

753
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 2: foreshadowing for the future, but it happens the the episode

754
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:12,320
Speaker 2: kind of ends. After this competition. The winners are Sandy

755
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:16,879
Speaker 2: and Clayton. They will be going to the boardroom. They

756
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 2: do have now the power and control, and Clayton and

757
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 2: Sandy have a campfire date starting episode four. Now he

758
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 2: just coupled up with Rachel. We want to see where

759
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:33,240
Speaker 2: the Rachel Clayton thing is going to go. But because

760
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 2: of the competition and the rules of the game, he

761
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:36,880
Speaker 2: is on this date with Sandy.

762
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 4: Thoughts, I thought that was fun to put two people

763
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 4: that weren't matched up on a day, like the winners

764
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 4: of the competition, like make them go on a date.

765
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 4: That was kind of fun and some man wasn't expecting.

766
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 4: But it's just and I don't know what the timeline

767
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 4: actually is here. They make it seem like it's like overnight,

768
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 4: you know, and I like to think that it is.

769
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 4: But it's just crazy to me that he was so

770
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 4: hot on Rachel that night and then immediately not it

771
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 4: feels or like already climbing out of the pool. He's like, uh,

772
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 4: I'm open, you know, I'm open to exploring this with

773
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 4: someone else, and it's just like, oh my, it keeps

774
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,839
Speaker 4: talking about my intuition. I wrote, like I was trying

775
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 4: to down I'm like I again, I'm sorry, Clayton. You

776
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 4: are a friend of the Almost Famous podcast. We like you,

777
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 4: we enjoy you, but my god, you suck here my intuition.

778
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:33,320
Speaker 4: Oh come on, give me a break man. Also, I

779
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 4: meant to bring this up last time I was on.

780
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 4: The rooms are so messy. Their rooms are like disgusting.

781
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,320
Speaker 4: I'm sorry. I know they're small, I know they're like busy.

782
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 4: It's just crazy, like it's just like suitcases with underwear

783
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,360
Speaker 4: spilling out. There's all the hair, progress just towels everywhere.

784
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,720
Speaker 4: It feels like it feels like a you're on spring

785
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 4: break or something with like college freshmen.

786
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 2: These are adults. I think that's a good note. He

787
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 2: is a fair note is these are adults. And if

788
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 2: no matter where, I would expect Dalton adults to clean

789
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 2: their room like I just do.

790
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, especially when you know there's cameras in there. I mean,

791
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:11,800
Speaker 4: come on, man. Uh so yeah, Clayton. Clayton is ready

792
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 4: to uh to to get out of this match with

793
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 4: Rachel already and uh I mean, at this point, is

794
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 4: he like, is he trying to hook up with Sandy?

795
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 4: Is that is that what he or No, He's he's

796
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 4: excited to see who's a potential for him in the boardroom.

797
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:30,879
Speaker 4: That's that's what He's already looking to the next thing.

798
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 4: And is that like, do you think that's Clayton wanting

799
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 4: to stick around or is that Clayton like changing his

800
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 4: mind like he did as the Bachelor. What's happening here?

801
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 2: It's I think it is the moment, honestly, Easton. So

802
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 2: the uproar for from the fan base is loud against Clayton.

803
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 2: Uh this, I think we could confidently say that Clayton's

804
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 2: time on The Perfect Match did not help his image

805
00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 2: and did not bring him fan support like he maybe

806
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 2: wanted it too or desired it too. And I would

807
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,399
Speaker 2: think that out of everything else, I think the fan

808
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,320
Speaker 2: base would have been okay with them going their separate ways,

809
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 2: especially if the two of them sat down and talked

810
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 2: and like, hey, this isn't working, but I'm glad we

811
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 2: were here another week and you met somebody and I've

812
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 2: met somebody, so let's continue on in different paths.

813
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 3: And it's been great.

814
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 2: I think this is the moment, the really the catalyst

815
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 2: of this episode happened so early in the episode where

816
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 2: he shows us that he is almost and playing Rachel

817
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 2: again again, And I think this hurts. I think it's weird.

818
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 2: I don't know how he thought this was a good

819
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,839
Speaker 2: idea or why he decided to do it, especially if

820
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 2: he went on the perfect match to show that he

821
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:55,760
Speaker 2: has grown as a person and that he believes everything

822
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 2: happens for a reason, all these things.

823
00:43:58,040 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 3: It is the moment.

824
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 2: That we see that I said, what is he doing?

825
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 2: He knows it's just gonna hurt Rachel, especially with the

826
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 2: the excitement that she showed to maybe rekindling with something

827
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 2: with him.

828
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:18,280
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, I'm just like And I know he's talked

829
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 4: a bit about like, oh that the editing didn't show

830
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 4: me in a great light or so, and I'm like,

831
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:27,920
Speaker 4: how is like this is beyond Like I don't understand

832
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 4: how you can edit this to make it look different

833
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 4: than what it was here. Uh, it's I'm just like,

834
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:35,319
Speaker 4: what is going on with this guy?

835
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 5: What?

836
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:42,399
Speaker 4: Like it's just it's cruel to Rachel's It breaks my heart,

837
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 4: you know, I personally just I I was such a

838
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:46,839
Speaker 4: big fan of Rachel. It kills me to see her

839
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 4: in pain like this. I'm like, oh my god, he's

840
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:53,800
Speaker 4: doing this again. This is just so insane. Clayton, Damn.

841
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 3: It's rough. It's a rough, It's so rough. It's tough

842
00:44:58,080 --> 00:44:58,479
Speaker 3: for him.

843
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 2: There's no really excuses at this point to why he's

844
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 2: making the decisions he's making. When you have somebody that

845
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:11,399
Speaker 2: you care about, that you have a history with, I think,

846
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:13,360
Speaker 2: if anything, you can go on this date, but you

847
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:17,839
Speaker 2: owe her a conversation before you make any drastic statements

848
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 2: or any changes to your relationship. But he didn't. Back

849
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 2: of the house during this date, Easton, we see some

850
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 2: couples get very upset about the kissing challenge. Shockingly, the

851
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:44,880
Speaker 2: kissing challenge cause controversy in the house with some couples,

852
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:50,319
Speaker 2: especially Daniel and Lucy. We get a little bit of

853
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 2: a glimpse into some people's mindsets during the kissing challenge,

854
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 2: but it hurt people. Shows me two things Easton, love

855
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 2: to hear what you think. One is, you know, a

856
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 2: few days into this experience, people do care about somebody.

857
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 2: There's some couples that I think are really invested into

858
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:10,719
Speaker 2: each other. Some couples that have really grown and are saying, hey,

859
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:13,239
Speaker 2: I don't want to see you with anybody else. As

860
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:15,239
Speaker 2: a result, I would have loved for you and the

861
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:17,720
Speaker 2: kissing challenge to rate me higher than the other person

862
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 2: that you knew.

863
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 3: Was not me.

864
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 2: That would have just been a nice thing to give

865
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:23,399
Speaker 2: me some confidence moving forward. Even if you did think

866
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,360
Speaker 2: that kiss was fantastic, I don't want to have to

867
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 2: think about it. It also shows me that the kissing

868
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:33,360
Speaker 2: challenge should just not be a thing if they actually

869
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:34,760
Speaker 2: want couples to form on the beach.

870
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 4: Wow. Yeah, I mean, I agree with you. It's so

871
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 4: hard for me to think about, like, because every relationship

872
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 4: I have been in, no matter how short lived, that

873
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 4: did take months and months of like emotional investment on

874
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 4: both parts, usually on the other person. But so it's

875
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 4: hard for me to understand that these people are so

876
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 4: connected after just a few days. And I know this

877
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 4: is like I know everyone we've talked to, it has

878
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 4: been on the show, on the Bachelor, Like it's just

879
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 4: the nature of how you have no other distractions, all

880
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,440
Speaker 4: you're doing is thinking about your connection with these people.

881
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 4: So I get it, but it's just like it is

882
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 4: kind of I don't know it's just it's so interesting

883
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 4: to me that like, it's just it feels like such

884
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 4: a deeply emotional connection and decision to have to make

885
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:31,320
Speaker 4: the kissing challenge is really just a minefield. I mean, damn,

886
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:36,480
Speaker 4: Like when Daniel Lucy have this conversation. I mean, Daniel's

887
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 4: in the shower and Lucy is like, she's like, oh no,

888
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, Shu'll wait for him to get out

889
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:43,799
Speaker 4: of the shower. Maybe we'll get to see some towel action. No, no, no,

890
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 4: she wants to talk about this right now. She is

891
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:48,279
Speaker 4: not going to wait. He hit the water's running over him,

892
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:50,799
Speaker 4: he's putting the he's putting the garnei frue tiss on,

893
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:54,480
Speaker 4: and she's having this conversation with him. It's and I

894
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:56,359
Speaker 4: feel bad for her, but also like, you know what,

895
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,399
Speaker 4: there's a way to do this kiss game to save

896
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 4: the feelings of your partner. But also, I mean it's hard,

897
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:08,800
Speaker 4: you like, can you identify everybody? I don't know, It's

898
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 4: it's tough. It's just it sets everybody up to fail.

899
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 4: I agree, I don't like the kissing challenge. You should

900
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,279
Speaker 4: get it, Nicholas Schey, get that challenge out of here.

901
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's hurting. It's hurting people. I don't like it.

902
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,720
Speaker 2: It's making me feel something for them. Sandy and Clayton

903
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 2: returned from their date back to the house. Sandy and

904
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 2: Louie obviously are gonna have to talk. Did this date

905
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:29,760
Speaker 2: go great?

906
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:30,400
Speaker 3: Did it not?

907
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:34,360
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody is too shocked that Sandy and

908
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 2: Clayton did not have this magical connection. I think Louie is, though,

909
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 2: frustrated because he is on this date with Sandy because

910
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:48,240
Speaker 2: of the rating system of this kissing challenge. Goodness gracious,

911
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:50,360
Speaker 2: I didn't even realize it until now. It feels like

912
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 2: this kissing challenge is lasting us a lot longer than

913
00:48:54,440 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 2: I wanted to. Yeah, Rachel and Clayton at this point reconnect.

914
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:04,839
Speaker 2: Louis and Sandy are gonna be fine. They're gonna work through. Yes,

915
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:07,400
Speaker 2: they're gonna make this thing work. But it's the Rachel

916
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:12,319
Speaker 2: and Clayton relationship that I think now everybody's on the

917
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:14,880
Speaker 2: edge of their seats to hear what is going to happen,

918
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 2: because his intuition knows that it's not going to work

919
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 2: out between them, and he doesn't want to hurt her

920
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 2: even though he's going to uh and it's just, you know,

921
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:27,959
Speaker 2: the nature of how this thing has all been set

922
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 2: up Easton, I gotta get because I mean, I'm biased

923
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 2: and we're both biased. We love Rachel, She's been a

924
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 2: great friend of the podcast. Clayton just came on to

925
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 2: help us co host here. I just have a hard

926
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 2: time justifying any of his behavior here in any way,

927
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 2: shape or form. He It just to me feels like

928
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 2: such a game, place like moved by him to keep

929
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 2: her around, knowing it was gonna ultimately really hurt her.

930
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 4: Yes, I agree. I mean, even if you look at

931
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:06,800
Speaker 4: this so coldly, just like a I am here playing

932
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 4: a game. I am playing a board game that means

933
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:12,719
Speaker 4: I get to stay on vacation into Loom longer and

934
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 4: be on TV. It's still just like it is baffling

935
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:21,719
Speaker 4: to me, and I just don't see how you can

936
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 4: have how you can act that way with such disregard

937
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 4: to the feelings of the other person. It's it's it's

938
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 4: it's insane because, like I, he could have just not

939
00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 4: they could have just existed together. You know, she could

940
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 4: have come in be like, oh hey, we're both from

941
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:40,719
Speaker 4: the same franchise, like you know, and fist bump each

942
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:44,400
Speaker 4: other and then this kind of continued on. But he

943
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 4: initiated this whole reunion thing only to kill it twenty

944
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 4: four hours later. It's it's so crazy. I feel so

945
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 4: bad for her. She is clearly so hurt by this.

946
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:58,480
Speaker 4: But you know, hey, Clinton's intuition said this is what

947
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:01,439
Speaker 4: he has to do, so hey, my hands are tied.

948
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 3: You know, he needs to check that a little bit.

949
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 2: His intuition that I don't think it's working out for

950
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 2: him because either by a brilliant joke of the show

951
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:16,360
Speaker 2: or just really bad unfortunate luck from Clayton. He decides

952
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 2: to go to the board room to hopefully set himself

953
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 2: up on a new date because his intuition told him

954
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:26,359
Speaker 2: this was going to be the best decision for both

955
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 2: he and Rachel.

956
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:31,399
Speaker 3: The brilliant joke, I think here, and I do.

957
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 2: I feel like the show has honestly kind of poked

958
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:38,439
Speaker 2: fun at him and the Bachelor throughout. Really, I mean,

959
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:41,319
Speaker 2: I think the Bachelor is I don't know how they

960
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 2: view it necessarily, but there's been these jokes in these

961
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 2: like one liners that have definitely poked fun at the Bachelor.

962
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 2: I also feel like Clayton has kind of gotten poked

963
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:52,959
Speaker 2: fun at a few times here. I mean, I'm thinking

964
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 2: about that challenge where his head was in the water

965
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 2: when they were floating and pulling and getting cards and

966
00:51:57,520 --> 00:51:58,800
Speaker 2: he was too big for the raft.

967
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 3: He's a big dude, and he seemed to do it.

968
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:02,760
Speaker 2: Just find it feels like they almost took a board

969
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 2: out of Clayton's raft so that he would sink.

970
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 3: The boardroom has four men as choices for this upcoming week.

971
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 2: Clayton is shocked and not able to put himself on

972
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 2: a date unless he is also going to be interested

973
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 2: in somebody that has not been what he's traditionally interested in.

974
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 3: The couple of things that stand out here, Jr.

975
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:31,920
Speaker 2: Is on this he's from the ultimatum. He did a

976
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 2: trial marriage with Sandy, which I have never used that

977
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:38,280
Speaker 2: phrase before marriage.

978
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:39,839
Speaker 3: I don't know what that is.

979
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:42,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, like is this something? Is this like another game?

980
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 4: Like it's that's so weird? How did that work?

981
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:46,879
Speaker 3: Oh?

982
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:47,240
Speaker 4: God?

983
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:51,279
Speaker 2: I mean, what are we doing? Like really Easton, Like

984
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:55,799
Speaker 2: where are we taking society? That His description on here

985
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:58,279
Speaker 2: is he did a trial marriage with Sandy and they

986
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 2: didn't work out for them. They do know each other well,

987
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 2: so Clayton decides to put his own interests aside, even

988
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 2: though he's probably gonna go on match now officially at

989
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 2: the end of this episode, we don't know that for certain,

990
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 2: we don't know how this plays out, but he matches

991
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:18,240
Speaker 2: Rachel and Scott. I think he gives her another chance

992
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 2: at a perfect match by putting her on a date

993
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:26,440
Speaker 2: with Scott. We see him lead leave the boardroom and

994
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:32,359
Speaker 2: Sandy has set a D and Jay are up her

995
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 2: former husband. Is that what I'm calling him, Sandy.

996
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:39,359
Speaker 3: Husband fleeing? I don't know.

997
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:42,920
Speaker 2: She sets a D and j R Up on a

998
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:47,680
Speaker 2: date pottery class. I mean, good move for Clayton. I

999
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:50,160
Speaker 2: do think out of all this craziness here, we do

1000
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 2: have to give him some credit that he recognized that

1001
00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 2: he was leaving Rachel on her own lonely island, and

1002
00:53:56,680 --> 00:54:00,480
Speaker 2: that he gave her a shot at a potential partner.

1003
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:01,399
Speaker 3: I do think that.

1004
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 2: Was a in the midst of all this, it's a

1005
00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:05,719
Speaker 2: chapter closing of him doing something good.

1006
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, a tiny sliver of redemption. I was really really

1007
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:12,759
Speaker 4: hoping when he saw the four guys on the in

1008
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:15,200
Speaker 4: the border room. I was really hoping to be like, hey, well,

1009
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:17,319
Speaker 4: you know, I came here to try new things and

1010
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:20,080
Speaker 4: be my real self. So I'm gonna set myself up

1011
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:24,839
Speaker 4: with Jalen. Yeah, I was going for that.

1012
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:27,920
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, Oh that would be amazing.

1013
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:30,839
Speaker 4: Which, by the way, when they do the like introductions,

1014
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:33,640
Speaker 4: we get to meet these four new guys, a couple

1015
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 4: guys from Love Island and Jalen from Too Hot to Handle.

1016
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:40,840
Speaker 4: They animate him looking like a demon. He leans his

1017
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 4: head back and they give him red eyes and horns.

1018
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:44,919
Speaker 4: I was like, what the on earth?

1019
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 3: I just don't know enough about these people to even

1020
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:48,480
Speaker 3: like understand.

1021
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:50,360
Speaker 4: Is that an in joke or something?

1022
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:50,719
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1023
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:53,319
Speaker 4: I don't know. Now I'm afraid of him, Like I'm

1024
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:57,879
Speaker 4: literally afraid of Jalen when he shows up there. Yeah,

1025
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:02,839
Speaker 4: but Jaron's a another cute date. I'm really enjoying the

1026
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:05,439
Speaker 4: these like crafty dates are setting people up on It's

1027
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:10,759
Speaker 4: the pottery date is very cute, and uh JR Is

1028
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 4: coming in like a my guilty pleasure stealing girls from

1029
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:16,759
Speaker 4: their guys. I was like, oh damn. But then it's

1030
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:18,720
Speaker 4: a really sweet moment. They have so much in common.

1031
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 4: They've got like they both have an insane amount of

1032
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 4: brothers and sisters, like seven. Uh and uh, they're you know,

1033
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:27,640
Speaker 4: they both have like what three brothers and two sisters

1034
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:30,640
Speaker 4: or something like that they have they're both scorpios. I mean,

1035
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:31,480
Speaker 4: you can't deny that.

1036
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 3: I you know what a couple of things.

1037
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:38,439
Speaker 2: I don't know how they get these people to say

1038
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:40,960
Speaker 2: the things they did like that, Carrington says, I'm a

1039
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:43,640
Speaker 2: a self aware douchebag.

1040
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:46,080
Speaker 3: Through like love bombs girls.

1041
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:49,799
Speaker 2: This guy's going my biggest pleasure is stealing girls from

1042
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:50,920
Speaker 2: their guys.

1043
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:54,279
Speaker 3: Like I just where are they finding these people east In?

1044
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:55,400
Speaker 4: What are they people doing?

1045
00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 2: And also, I'm with you in the midst of all

1046
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:01,920
Speaker 2: this wild and eaziness that is the perfect match and

1047
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 2: guys talking about stealing girls and all of these things.

1048
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:09,080
Speaker 3: The producers are brilliant.

1049
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 2: Because there's all this wild things happening and then they

1050
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:15,280
Speaker 2: put them up on the most wholesome dates of all time.

1051
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 4: It's so funny, like there would be a challenge where

1052
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:23,800
Speaker 4: it's like, Okay, here's you're gonna lick each other's buttholes

1053
00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:25,920
Speaker 4: and see if you can identify your partner. And then

1054
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:28,360
Speaker 4: then the next one is we're going on a picnic,

1055
00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:30,000
Speaker 4: like what.

1056
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:32,799
Speaker 3: Ye come pick flowers?

1057
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, we're picking wild flowers. I'm doing flower ranging.

1058
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:39,040
Speaker 3: Oh it's so ridiculous.

1059
00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:43,320
Speaker 6: There's nothing about this that doesn't it's just all crazy,

1060
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:46,680
Speaker 6: Like it's a it's a mental roller coaster watching this,

1061
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:49,839
Speaker 6: because as soon as you also start to invest into

1062
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:52,120
Speaker 6: some person like eighty and Ali, she goes on a

1063
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:54,880
Speaker 6: date and as you said, it is cute.

1064
00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:58,880
Speaker 2: Rachel seems to be really into Scott. He has a

1065
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:02,280
Speaker 2: dark sense of humor. They have a nice little date together.

1066
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 2: He is trouble, she thinks and feels. But I think

1067
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:10,400
Speaker 2: at this point she's into it because I feel like

1068
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:12,719
Speaker 2: Rachel's kind of saying screw it. Like I tried to

1069
00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:15,319
Speaker 2: go the safe route. I tried to do the thing

1070
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:17,880
Speaker 2: that made the most sense. It felt like I'm just

1071
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:19,640
Speaker 2: gonna enjoy my time here.

1072
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, they get along great. I did think it

1073
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 4: was funny that Rachel didn't remember his name halfway through

1074
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:28,960
Speaker 4: the date, because there's times during the show where I'm like,

1075
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:32,640
Speaker 4: oh God, who's that person again? So that's a nice

1076
00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 4: analog for the audience there. But I just want to

1077
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:40,000
Speaker 4: see I want Rachel to have a good time. I

1078
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 4: just want her to be happy and have fun and

1079
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:45,600
Speaker 4: be treated with respective and kindness. That's all I'm asking for,

1080
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:48,080
Speaker 4: and she has Scott seem like they get along great.

1081
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:51,959
Speaker 4: Something I wanted to point out that goes on back

1082
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:56,240
Speaker 4: at the Villa that I really enjoyed was we get

1083
00:57:56,240 --> 00:58:01,440
Speaker 4: introduced to the concept of Louis logic, where Louis logic

1084
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:05,280
Speaker 4: and he says the editing is so great because he says,

1085
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:08,600
Speaker 4: I'm a smart individual and then immediate cut too, I've

1086
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:14,240
Speaker 4: gotten back with my ex five different times, like five times.

1087
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:20,760
Speaker 4: My god, they can Clayton seem like a saint over here. Yeah,

1088
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:23,840
Speaker 4: So how they get these people say these things is awesome.

1089
00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:26,280
Speaker 4: I'm loving it. I hope we get more Louis logic

1090
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:27,720
Speaker 4: as the show goes on. I want to know what

1091
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:29,800
Speaker 4: else goes on that man's in that man's mind.

1092
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:33,880
Speaker 3: Yes, Eastern great call out on the Louis logic. I'm

1093
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:34,440
Speaker 3: loving it. Man.

1094
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:37,680
Speaker 2: That's why I'm saying I love this show because I

1095
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:41,760
Speaker 2: don't fit in and I feel like I just soak

1096
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:45,840
Speaker 2: up all the craziness and try to understand what exactly

1097
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:46,760
Speaker 2: is happening.

1098
00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:49,880
Speaker 3: There's a lot to be left desired. At the end

1099
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 3: of this episode, we have a lot of questions on

1100
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:54,840
Speaker 3: our mind. One is Sandy's nervous to bring or to

1101
00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:57,400
Speaker 3: see Jr. Again, But she's the one that brought him

1102
00:58:57,440 --> 00:58:58,080
Speaker 3: into the house.

1103
00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:01,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, So the question is did she just not want

1104
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:03,880
Speaker 2: to set herself up on a date because that would

1105
00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 2: be a little too forward and to let him come

1106
00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:08,880
Speaker 2: into the house they can rekindle something, maybe like Rachel

1107
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:12,560
Speaker 2: and Clayton tried to. Rachel does seem to be beaming

1108
00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 2: with happiness and joy as she enters back into the house.

1109
00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:18,000
Speaker 3: In Ady and Jr.

1110
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:23,680
Speaker 2: Return to break all of our hearts. They're holding hands Easton.

1111
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:27,840
Speaker 4: So sad to see that. I know this is how

1112
00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:30,640
Speaker 4: the game works, This is perfect match. We are not

1113
00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:34,440
Speaker 4: in a fairy tale. We are in nick Lache's twisted mind.

1114
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:40,280
Speaker 2: And I hope nicko Lache is making all of this.

1115
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 3: That would be fantastic to me.

1116
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:45,080
Speaker 4: He's up in his ivory tower down there in tou loom,

1117
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:48,560
Speaker 4: moving his little pieces around the board for his own amusement.

1118
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 4: But it made me so sad because I really I

1119
00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:55,600
Speaker 4: had such high hopes for Ad and Alie and I

1120
00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:57,520
Speaker 4: could see them going all the way. I really could.

1121
00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:00,520
Speaker 4: I was like, will they be the one couple? Will

1122
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:03,680
Speaker 4: they be like Hannah, Hannah g and Dylan. Will they

1123
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:06,040
Speaker 4: just like link up at the beginning and then make

1124
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:07,920
Speaker 4: it all the way? Will they get married and have children?

1125
01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:10,400
Speaker 4: Is that what's gonna happen? I don't think so. We're

1126
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:12,720
Speaker 4: in danger here. I would be very sad.

1127
01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:14,800
Speaker 3: I'll be upset if you.

1128
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:21,000
Speaker 2: Find me during episode five, well yeah five with tears,

1129
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:27,240
Speaker 2: feeling like I just got played by love. It's because

1130
01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:31,439
Speaker 2: eighty and Ali didn't work. I'm hoping that they find

1131
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:35,600
Speaker 2: a way to come back together again Easton. As always,

1132
