Speaker 2: Thank you And yeah, I guess it was a rough,

9
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 2: a rough journey for you to say, at least it was.

10
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 2: Let's start, I guess, like the biggest question that I've

11
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 2: been seeing and a lot of I think a lot

12
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 2: of people want to know. Let's just start with the

13
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 2: fantasy suite night. We'll start with that date Porsche, because

14
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 2: we us watching that date and Serena, I'm sure you

15
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 2: could agree, Like we watched it were like, okay, it's

16
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 2: gonna be Leslie.

17
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 4: But I think we can all agree that wasn't just

18
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 4: from like putting pieces together. There were things being said

19
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 4: that were very clear and direct that probably led you

20
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 4: to believe, that led the viewers to believe, right totally.

21
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I guess, yeah, you want to explain, just

22
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 5: to explain that that date portion first, like how how

23
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 5: everything went and how you really felt and were you

24
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 5: also aware like that he could.

25
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: Be saying these same things to Teresa.

26
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 6: So the afternoon date, of course, scaling down the waterfall

27
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 6: was scary, and you know, it was great at the

28
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 6: same time. Obviously, we had a wonderful time together and

29
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 6: we bonded, and I really felt even more for Gary

30
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 6: because he had my back, although he could have taken

31
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 6: the waterfall side. But that's a point not.

32
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 7: Wait, I can't let you keep going. Because we said that.

33
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 4: I was like, this poor woman is like so scared

34
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 4: and she's also getting whacked in the face.

35
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 3: Now that it was bad.

36
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 6: And then he actually said when we got down, I

37
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 6: should have been on that side. I'm like, get thank.

38
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, you had my back.

39
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 6: Kinda but no. But besides that, we had a wonderful time.

40
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 6: We you know, we felt I felt like we got closer.

41
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 6: And then we had our dinner and he you know,

42
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 6: kind of squashed my fears in Gary fashion and told

43
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 6: me everything was going to be okay, and you know

44
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 6: all that stuff, and we had fun. We just laughed

45
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 6: a lot together. So for me that was really important

46
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 6: because I love to laugh and I love to make

47
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 6: people laugh. So I was really we just were in

48
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 6: sync that way, and and then I said.

49
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 3: This last night.

50
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 6: Everybody knows what he said on camera, but it was

51
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 6: off camera in our overnight that only him and I

52
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 6: know what was said. And you know, I don't want

53
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 6: to say everything he said, but it was one hundred

54
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 6: percent certainty, and I woke up the next morning that

55
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 6: I was going to be it.

56
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 5: Well, so I guess like it came out that Teresa

57
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 5: said that he basically proposed to her.

58
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 3: I didn't see that last night.

59
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: Okay, so I mean, essentially, did he do that with you?

60
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 6: Propose to me? He made plans with me for future, He.

61
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: Said, he plans with you for the future.

62
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 3: Kind of like saved the date. This is what we're

63
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 3: going to do.

64
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 6: I can't wait for us two more days, you know,

65
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 6: we'll be done with this, be together, start our life.

66
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 6: Did he say will you marry me? In there?

67
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 3: No, but he all but said that.

68
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 6: I mean, I would have been happy with just I

69
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 6: love you, but he took it to a different level.

70
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 6: And when he woke up, we woke up the next

71
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 6: morning and he left. He turned around three times and

72
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 6: bloomy kisses. He didn't want to leave. That's why I

73
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 6: wasn't worried that he was going on a day. I

74
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 6: was just knew that he had to get through the

75
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 6: motions of it, and I mean I was one hundred

76
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 6: percent then I was it. And I mean he didn't

77
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 6: lead me. He didn't say I have such a hard

78
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 6: decision to make. I don't you know, nothing like that.

79
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 6: So I just didn't.

80
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, because what we saw a lot of was him

81
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 4: saying multiple times with the season, like you're my girl

82
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 4: or I think you're the one.

83
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 7: That sounds like going into the fantasy suites.

84
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 4: The relationship and the commitment to one another was taken

85
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 4: even further than that. Yes, how did that feel? You know,

86
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 4: you're off camera, You don't really know what's going to happen.

87
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 4: You go on the Facebook, you or what he's going

88
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 4: to say. You don't know what the conversation is going

89
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 4: to be like. For all you know, you're gonna go

90
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 4: and he's going to be you know, say what you said, like,

91
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 4: I have a really tough decision to make. How did

92
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 4: that feel for you being in there hearing all of

93
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 4: these things? It must have been such a relief.

94
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 3: Well it was a relief.

95
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 6: I was excited, and I mean we literally were so

96
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 6: comfortable with each other the minute we got in there

97
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 6: in the door closed, we brushed our teeth together. I mean,

98
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 6: it wasn't like, what are we doing now? You know,

99
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 6: we talked for hours, and you know, there was so

100
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 6: much I wanted to tell him about me and he

101
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 6: wanted to tell me about him, and so it was great.

102
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 6: I mean I felt closer to him, like this is it,

103
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 6: and so it was really nice because I thought, Okay,

104
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 6: that's why I went and picked out this dress, and

105
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 6: why I wrote our vowels or my vows and because

106
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 6: I was one hundred percent certain. And there was things

107
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 6: he said to me in the overnight that alluded to

108
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 6: his overnight with Teresa's not going to be the same.

109
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was going to ask you, so you knew

110
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 5: that Theresa was going next? After feeling pretty confident, was

111
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 5: there a part of you that was still like, okay,

112
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 5: but Teresa hasn't had this time. Maybe something happens in

113
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 5: there where then he leans her way.

114
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 6: You know, Joe, I really didn't. And I said last night,

115
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 6: I don't go through life going I got this. I

116
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 6: got this, you know, I go through life going I

117
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 6: might have it, and when I get it, I'll say

118
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 6: I got it, you know, or basically I just cautiously optimistic.

119
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 6: I'm never getting ahead of myself. I don't assume, and

120
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 6: I never assumed this whole journey. I was just like,

121
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 6: I'm going to stay in my lane. I'm gonna just

122
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 6: focus on what I have with Gary. I don't want

123
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 6: to hear the chatter. I don't want to you know,

124
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 6: all that stuff. And yeah, so I kind of left

125
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 6: that morning.

126
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: Confident.

127
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 4: Yeah.

128
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: Good.

129
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 5: So let's what I'm gonna give you a hypothetical here.

130
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 5: Let's say you're the Golden Bachelorette and it's down the

131
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 5: Fantasy sweet Nights. You're basically in love with two men.

132
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 5: How do you handle it differently?

133
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 6: I for sure would never tell anyone I love them

134
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 6: until I'm on that platform with them and I know it.

135
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 3: I just wouldn't do that.

136
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 2: How About how about when they I agree with you

137
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 2: and I feel like that's what I would do as well.

138
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 2: But if they say to you I love you and

139
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 2: you feel that, do you do you think you can

140
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 2: hold that back?

141
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 6: Yeah? Okay, because I just don't want to hurt. I

142
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 6: would never want to hurt anyone the way I was

143
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 6: hurt or blindsided or I can't. I mean, my heart

144
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 6: is precious to me and I'm just not going to

145
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 6: give it to anybody. And when you say I love

146
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 6: you to somebody, it means something.

147
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, And.

148
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 6: I just I just don't throw that word around. I

149
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 6: haven't said it in a really long time to someone,

150
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 6: so it was it meant something to me to say

151
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 6: it to Gary, and I just I know it would

152
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 6: be hard.

153
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 3: I'm sure it's hard when.

154
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 6: You do you maybe do love two different people or

155
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 6: three different people, But I just wouldn't say it. I

156
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 6: would just show my affection in a different way totally.

157
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 6: Did you know he was saying it to multiple people

158
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 6: or did you consider maybe he was. I knew he

159
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 6: had said it to Faith because he told me, okay,

160
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 6: but I did not know that he said it to Teresa.

161
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 5: Before Fantasy Suites. Would and let's say it ended with

162
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 5: him going with Teresa before Fantasy Suites.

163
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: Would you still feel like.

164
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 5: You were blindsided or do you think you were blindsided

165
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 5: after Fantasy because of what went down? Because of what

166
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 5: went down in Fantasy Sweets? Is that why you feel

167
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 5: like you were blindsided? Yes, okay, I just want to

168
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 5: I just didn't know if it was basically, you know,

169
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 5: leading up the entire.

170
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 4: Season, right, No, okay, that was kind of the pivotal moment. Yeah, okay,

171
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 4: So after Fantasy Sweets, we meet the family.

172
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, how does that go?

173
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 6: So I walk up. Gary's hugging me. I made a joke.

174
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 6: He laughed. He says, you know, are you ready? And

175
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 6: I'm like ready.

176
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 3: I walked in.

177
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 6: We had the best time. We were dancing and we

178
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 6: were laughing, and you know, I his granddaughters were so

179
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 6: sweet and they just cried with me and laughed with me,

180
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 6: and we just had a great time. And so walking

181
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 6: out of that I felt so good. And then we

182
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 6: sit on that bench just say goodbye, and all of

183
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 6: a sudden, like my walls came down and his wall

184
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 6: went up. But I have no idea how that happened,

185
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 6: from being in with his family to being on that bench.

186
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: It was after his family when you guys sat on

187
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: that bench.

188
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, ok yeah, no, because I remember because he was like,

189
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 4: are you ready to go?

190
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 7: And he definitely had.

191
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 4: More of a closed off energy to him, and You're like, well,

192
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 4: I'm never ready to go.

193
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

194
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:25,959
Speaker 7: I think I'm a big believer.

195
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 4: In women's intuition. I believe It's very strong if you

196
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 4: listen to it. And I'm a big believer, you know,

197
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 4: hindsight's twenty twenty. Looking back, do you like living in

198
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 4: that moment? You know? I know you said like he

199
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 4: was exhausted, right, But looking back, do you see that

200
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 4: moment differently?

201
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 2: Well?

202
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 6: Yes, of course, because I was justifying his exhaustion for

203
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 6: his wall. Although he was tired throughout the process, we

204
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 6: all were, and he never acted like that. So I

205
00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 6: just didn't understand the disconnect and the flip, and in

206
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 6: my head I was justifying it, right, you know. But yes,

207
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 6: when I watched it back last night, yeah, he was.

208
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 6: It was very and then give me a hug. I

209
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 6: mean we kissed goodbye, you know, and then I don't know,

210
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 6: it was just his mind was already made up.

211
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, see, I felt that way.

212
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 2: The crazy thing is I felt that way when I

213
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 2: first watched his date with Teresa when they were on

214
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 2: the horses, it seemed like he had made up his

215
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 2: mind was choosing you, I know.

216
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, that's heat.

217
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was like the Gary we saw with Teresa

218
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 4: on the horses was the same Gary we saw with

219
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 4: Leslie yes on the bench after the home Dwes.

220
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: Do you think do you think it was you up

221
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: until he had his fantasy sweet time with Teresa?

222
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 3: I do.

223
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, I didn't see last night's sex segment with Teresa

224
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 6: and Gary.

225
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 3: I didn't see it at all. I'll watch it when

226
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 3: I get home.

227
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 7: But will you watch it? Do you want to watch it?

228
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 3: Maybe not? I don't know.

229
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 6: I mean, I feel like I didn't get a ton

230
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 6: of closure with him, you know, but that's okay.

231
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 3: I felt like I closed it with myself.

232
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's let's let's go there. So let's go to Yeah,

233
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 1: you see, So.

234
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 7: What about going into it?

235
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 4: Because I think everyone goes into those final conversations looking

236
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 4: for that closure, right, yeah, that piece? What do you

237
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 4: what were you hoping for to get that closure?

238
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 7: What were you hoping for from him?

239
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 6: Well, you know, it's my first rodeo, so I and

240
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 6: I've watched the show since conception. Just is the reason

241
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 6: why I've watched the show since conception. But you don't

242
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 6: really get a lot of closure. What can they say?

243
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 6: They had to make a choice. It's his journey, his choice.

244
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 6: But he could have chosen not to say those things

245
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 6: to me. That's all I he said. He wasn't ready,

246
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 6: as you know, his heart wasn't ready or something like

247
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 6: that kind of glazing over at that point. But I

248
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 6: you know, I didn't get closure from him, and I

249
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 6: don't know if anything he would have said would have

250
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 6: really given me closure. He said I decided or something

251
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,959
Speaker 6: about choosing Teresa over me, and I thought that was

252
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,599
Speaker 6: all harsh, like he could have maybe said that a

253
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 6: little bit nicer, you know, especially because being chosen is

254
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 6: kind of my my little Yeah.

255
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 5: I felt a little like a business like, yeah, yeah,

256
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 5: like you were almost being fireds Yeah.

257
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 6: And I felt that way too, But I don't know, Gary,

258
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 6: I feel like he switched. And you know, I guess

259
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 6: the only thing I would have liked to I forgot,

260
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 6: or didn't forget. I should have said, I thought you're

261
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 6: a man of integrity instead of you're a man of integrity,

262
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 6: because at the end of the day, he didn't really

263
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 6: have the integrity that I thought he had, you know,

264
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 6: I mean, listen, I know I signed what I signed

265
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 6: up for.

266
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 3: You know that someone has.

267
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 1: To go, someone has to be heartbroken, totally.

268
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 3: I get that. I just I haven't I didn't expect

269
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 3: it to be so hard.

270
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, we've talked about you know, your date, your time,

271
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 4: your overnight meeting, the family.

272
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, next we got to talk about the breakup.

273
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 4: So you have this night day and your your intuition

274
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 4: is like I feel like getting stronger as this day

275
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 4: goes on, because you're like, now you're like, what is

276
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 4: going on here? Tell us about that conversation, the first

277
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 4: one with him?

278
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 6: Yes, well, you know, I just I could tell the

279
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 6: minute he walked in. But I was like, again, no,

280
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 6: he's tired.

281
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 4: Which for anyone that's been on the show, like it

282
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 4: is really tiring.

283
00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: So and it's.

284
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 5: Easy could see how you you would use that as

285
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 5: an excuse, because yeah, it's an easy It's true.

286
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: Probably any probably is tired.

287
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 6: Well, he didn't have a day in between us, which

288
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 6: is tired, because I know how I felt, and I

289
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 6: can't I mean like I can't imagine him doing again

290
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 6: the whole day. And you know, he's a little older,

291
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 6: even though he has a lot of energy, but it's tiring,

292
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 6: it's mentally tiring and all that. So I just kept

293
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 6: talking it up for that and you know, I gave

294
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 6: him a photo album and then I said in all

295
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 6: these pages are for our future.

296
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 3: And he was just off there.

297
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, even though he goes, oh, you know, and when

298
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 6: I told him, you know that I loved him or something,

299
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 6: he said, that's such a sweet sentiment. I'm like, you know,

300
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 6: I could feel the tears welling up.

301
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 7: Yeah.

302
00:15:55,800 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 5: Now, after everything, do you do you respect him?

303
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 6: I mean, Gary is he did what he did, it's

304
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 6: his journey. Do I respect him? I just wish he

305
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 6: would have done it different. I don't respect what he did.

306
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 6: I mean it's started with faith, you know, and then

307
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 6: me a little more because I went to Costa Rica

308
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 6: and did all that. So I feel like he just

309
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 6: used I love you too much? And do I respect him?

310
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 6: That's such a hard question because I want to say

311
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 6: I do you know? But it's hard.

312
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, you're hurt.

313
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 3: Yeah me, how.

314
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: You know, after seeing everything, how heavier children reacted, how

315
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:45,320

319
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 6: things I didn't do right in this world, but those

320
00:16:58,240 --> 00:16:59,120

330
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 6: since day one. I mean, it was my daughter who

331
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 6: actually came up with the Golden Bachelor before anyone, because

332
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 6: years ago, before COVID, years ago, we're sitting on my

Speaker 6: couch watching I don't even know what season it was,

334
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,640

Speaker 6: older people, and I said, so people really want to

338
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,640

Speaker 3: And then I was kissing hot So we laugh.

340
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 6: About that all the time because she just turned to

341
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 6: me one day and said they should do this for

342
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 6: older people. And it's funny because I do get a

343
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 6: lot of young people coming up to me all the

344
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:18,360

Speaker 6: done anything different, I don't because I was me and

372

373
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: Do you do you think.

374
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 5: Being a fan of the show and watching it for

375
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 5: so long, do you think that gave you any edge

376
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 5: going into it?

377
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 3: Hmm, that's a good question.

378
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 1: I mean.

379
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 3: I feel like I mean, Faith's never seen the show.

380
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 7: Yes, And when we talked to Faith.

381
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 4: Whenever we talk to people that haven't watched the show,

382
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 4: a lot of the time they say I wish I

383
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 4: had or I wish I'd watched a season.

384
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 7: You know, just didn't know what I was getting there.

385
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 6: Because she was like, what's happening now? Wait, what's going on?

386
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 6: What's the person impression world?

387
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 3: Well, you know, and it was funny.

388
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 4: It's so funny too, because Dowton and Charity Dowton didn't

389
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 4: watch the show, and he was like, I didn't even

390
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,120
Speaker 4: know there was a proposal at the end until like halfway.

391
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 7: Through, which so sometimes it works out, but.

392
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 4: I think a lot of the time there is I

393
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 4: just think it's good to know what you're getting yourself.

394
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 6: Yeah, too, well, definitely, I'm like Faith, they should have

395
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 6: done a little homework, you know, but but I you know,

396
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 6: I think I I knew what was happening. I was,

397
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 6: you know, but when you're in it sometimes you don't

398
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 6: realize the cameras are hidden in the thing you don't like.

399
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 6: You forget, you know, forget your mic. Do you forget?

400
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 6: You know, it's different watching versus doing it exactly. Should

401
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 6: I have maybe done my hair that day?

402
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 3: Maybe? But you know, I kind of got lazy and whatever.

403
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 3: I was just me.

404
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 7: It's a long time to film. I got.

405
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 4: I stopped wearing I was wearing sweatpants every day. But

406
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 4: you make up by the thank you because.

407
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 3: Everyone's like your hair, what's wrong with your hair? Like

408
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 3: it's curly, beautiful.

409
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,479
Speaker 1: I pecked a carry on for Paradise. I think that's all.

410
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: That's literally all I brought.

411
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 5: Do you think you think if you would have met

412
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 5: Gary at let's just say, a restaurant in Minnesota, do

413
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 5: you think you would.

414
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,320

Speaker 6: is funny.

417
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 4: He made your favorite part of this was that one

418
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 4: joke that he made the tell.

419
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean he did say funny stupid dad jokes sometimes,

420
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 6: but he he made me laugh. And what I loved

421
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 6: most that I made him laugh And he didn't judge

422
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 6: me for anything I say, he just he kind of

423
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:24,240

Speaker 6: that's a huge part of my mate.

429
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:41,920

430
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,879
