It's Jared obviously 0:00:16.079 --> 0:00:19.040 joined by Dean Angler, and we have a leoh who 0:00:19.120 --> 0:00:22.160 is back with us on the podcast for this week 0:00:22.600 --> 0:00:25.200 because we have two very special guests from the TV 0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:30.760 show Five Guys a Week. That sounds interesting, five Guys 0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:34.680 a Week? It is Alexis and Joyce. Alexis Joyce, how 0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:38.800 are you welcome to the podcast and Wow, thank you, 0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:42.960 thank you for having us. Of course, so the general 0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:46.320 premise of the show, from my understanding, uh is that 0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:50.440 you ladies invite five men to live with you four 0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:52.640 weeks because you just want to like fast track to 0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:55.240 getting to know you, which I could not agree with more. 0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:57.760 Let's just cut through the BS. I think that's what 0:00:57.800 --> 0:00:59.560 Bachelor does a lot, and I think it actually works 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:02.640 out pretty we You cut through the BS and you're like, Okay, 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:05.000 I'll find out your favorite color later. But what I 0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:11.000 really want to know is working your heart, so exactly 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:14.000 tell us your emotional traumas Aleta to tell us a 0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:18.000 little bit about the experience of five Guys a Week okay, 0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:20.280 so I was gonna thread out there. At first I 0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:23.160 had to ask. I was like, is this the right show? 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:26.960 Is this a dating show? Because the title will definitely 0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:32.759 insinuate something else. Unfortunately, it is just a dating so show. Um, 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:35.759 I've never done speed dating in my life, so this 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:40.760 was not speed dating, more like speed living. And it 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:44.800 definitely was a roller coaster to say the least. I 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:47.559 had a blast. I got to know these guys more 0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:51.560 than I thought I would. But yeah, it was very interesting. 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:56.000 So I gotta ask alexis why, um, and why five 0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:58.160 guys a week instead of like shake shack a week 0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:00.480 or in and out a week? Why you decide to 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:07.640 go with five guys? My misinterpreting the name of the show, 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:10.440 you're eating? You're it's like a fast food thing, right, 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:17.280 You're definitely good joke. Thanks, Thanks, I play on for 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:22.160 a while. I appreciate. Yeah, I love it. I definitely 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:24.480 did also think it might have been related to five guys. 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:30.840 So unfortunately, no burgers, no prize, um, yeah no, just 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:33.959 just five men cooking in my kitchen, or at least 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:40.200 learning to cook. I would like to say, yea, yeah, 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:42.280 so could you explain to us like the format of 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:44.480 the show. Then, so they come into your house and 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:47.160 it's us like a date in the house. They cook 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:50.680 for you and all that stuff for So the premise 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:54.480 of the show is that, like it literally is blind 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:58.160 like a blind dating from this except they show up 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:00.600 at your door, like these men are literally delivered to 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:03.480 our to our houses and we don't know what they 0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:05.800 look like, we don't know their names or Asian nothing, 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:09.079 and they just stay with us. We live with us 0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:12.520 for but for like five days and for a week, 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:17.160 and um, yeah, pretty much we had to. We didn't 0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:19.600 have our phones, we didn't have TV, so we really 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:25.040 had to get down and get to know each other better. Phones, 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:27.560 no t vs. So what did you guys do? Just 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:31.280 talked the whole time we talked. We tried to like 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:35.800 create games, like there's one in my episode. We had 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:40.320 like a wrapping like game going on. I wasn't great 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:44.640 at it, but I tried. So. Yeah. Well, and there 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.960 were cameras in your house too, I would imagine right everywhere, 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:52.280 twenty four hour surveillance. What is that like like that 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:53.960 that has to make dating a little bit more awkward 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:58.800 than it normally is. Yeah, I mean, like it didn't 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:01.360 make things a little bit like because obviously, like I 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:02.960 didn't want to do I wanted to keep it all 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:06.360 PG my family, my coworkers watching this. On top of that, 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:09.640 like you haven't mindful you know of of what the 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:13.240 public might see here. But for me it came out 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:16.200 very naturally. I feel like, you know, most of us 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:20.400 girls are pretty easy going, so but I definitely as 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:22.520 them like mom of the house, or rather the owner 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:25.280 of the house that they're staying in. I had to 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:29.200 like keep these guys like in control. I mean, five 0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:32.080 guys is a lot of testosterone. It was a lot 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:34.520 for me to handle for someone who dates like one 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:37.440 guy at month per se. Well, it's nice to just 0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:40.839 kind of knock it out in one foul swoop right here, 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:44.200 just get it over with exactly this, throw them all 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:46.360 at the wall, see if one six so joyce. How 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:50.880 is your experience, UM, in the house with the five 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:55.080 guys was it? Did you find that there was tension? Awkwardness? 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:58.599 Were you just in heaven? How did you feel? Well? 0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:01.400 A little bit of all of the above, you know. 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:04.800 First and foremost, I have to say that all the 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:10.560 guys on my episode were outstanding, um, every one of them, 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:15.479 and we're all still in touch. Um, they're all Actually 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:18.000 when my episode airs, I'm having a little party. They're 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:21.120 all coming in. Um, we're gonna watch our episode all 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:23.799 together with some family and friends at a country club. 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:26.560 So we're excited to coming in a day before we're 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:31.520 gonna go voting. They the relationships, I think we all 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:36.920 you know, look, five guys moving in cameras twenty four seven, Um, 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:40.080 you know, and I'm I'm the old viddie, right. I mean, 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:43.960 that's the thing about the show, it's there's a variety 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:47.520 of different ages and a variety of you know, kind 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:51.400 of all different people, so it's not really geared towards 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:56.880 just one audience. It's it's really I think if there's 0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:59.400 a wide spectrum of ladies. There were a total of 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:02.520 twenty of us, all different ages from twenties all the 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:06.200 way up to the sixties, so the experiences are all different. 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:10.159 And when you're with Cameras seven, I mean, you know, 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:14.960 I'm fifty five. If it takes a lot, I'm waking up, 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:18.680 don't make up. I got guys, Um, you know, twenty 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:23.719 four seven. But the process works, and the good news 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:27.360 is that you really get to see who people are 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:29.800 because you can't be on you know, you go on 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:34.080 a date, you know, two hours, three hours, and you 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:36.760 know everybody's on. They're bringing their a game. Now you're 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:40.320 living with five guys, and the walls come down and 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:42.200 you really get to kind of peel back and see 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:45.039 who people are. And I had just an outstanding group 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:48.080 and I'll be friends with them forever. Um and the 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:52.279 process works. Um, that's what I have to say. I think, Uh, 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:55.280 you know, shout out to Lifetime and Original Productions. They 0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:59.400 did a great job in matching me with with my cast. 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:03.159 They were fun. Don't you think It's so funny? How well, 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:04.560 at least for me. Every time I see a new 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:06.400 dating TV show, I'm like, well, they did it again. 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:09.159 They thought of something completely original. But that's it, Like 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:11.560 they they run out of ideas and then you hear 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:13.200 something like this, and I'm like, man, they keep coming 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:16.040 out with these incredibly original ideas for dating. This one's 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:18.720 so cool. Like it's true when you live with somebody, 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:21.080 you learn a lot to screw the first date. Come over, 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:25.480 let's live together. How do you do the dishes? Yeah? 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:29.720 Did you guys like delegate responsibilities among the men. You're 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:31.920 like you're you're on dish duty, You're on trash duty. 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:36.560 How did you guys do that? Yeah? Yeah, Alexis is 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:40.680 saying yes and Joyce, but we have Joyce and I 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:43.320 have a very different like age group of guys, like 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:46.880 I think minor, you know, literally mid twenties and hers 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:49.640 are a little bit older than more mature, like they 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:52.160 know what they want and my guys are still young, 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:55.920 you know, like it was from and on this age 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:58.480 I can say like a lot of people at this 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:01.120 age group don't know how to cook, some of them 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:03.880 filling with their moms so they get they don't really 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:07.440 have to clean much. So I had i this is 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:10.320 my house. I walked in. I was like, using the dishes, 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:14.320 you sleep the floor, you clean the table, because I 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:17.000 was not going to live with this mess in my house. 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:20.360 I feel like they would either be really into that 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:26.280 or really not there like yeah somewhere like yes, and 0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:29.400 some were like oh no, like she's a good much 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:31.840 here and I was like, yes, this is why I 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:37.280 have trouble dating because I'm very bossy. The guys that 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:40.960 were just like pigs, They're just just leave everything on 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:44.000 the floor. Yeah that was yeah, it was. It was 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.840 I was immediately like, but to the credit of the show, 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:49.319 at least you can identify that early on and uh 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:51.600 and not have to like date him for three months 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:53.120 and then come to find out he's, you know, a 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:56.240 slab like that. So that's good. Like popping bottles in 0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:58.800 the first night and I'm like, is this Jersey Shore 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:01.160 or are you here for love? Baby? Like which one 0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:03.120 is it? And then you kicked them out right to 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:17.560 start your dominant You'll have to see. But Joyce, you 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:19.160 were shaking your head now, so you kind of just 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:23.120 didn't uh, you didn't delegate any responsibilities as much now, 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:27.160 So I'll tell you my show was certainly different from Alexis. 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:31.240 Um my guys, I was like princess. I mean I 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:33.440 was in charge and they were they couldn't do enough 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:35.839 for me. They were like, you know, fighting to clean 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:39.040 up and fighting to cook. I made all the guys, man, 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:44.480 I'm like your guys. Oh, they were awesome. Thumbs up. Um, 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:47.120 you know, I sent them a letter before the show 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:49.679 because I wanted to see what their cooking skills are. 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:51.960 I travel all the time. I can't really have a 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:55.280 fast food guy. Um, you know, Kenny cook if I'm 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:58.840 not around, and I asked them to jumble my jumbalaya, 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:02.880 and they all came, are you prepared with um food? 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:05.360 And it had to represent something about them, whether it 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:07.640 was their favorite food, their culture, and I'll tell you 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:11.280 they were. They came a game on. I will tell 0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:13.880 you I was a little nervous when the one guy 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:17.120 walked in with a cooler. I was like, Oh, does 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:20.680 he have a fetish? What's in that cooler? So you 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:23.760 get a little nervous because you know you're inviting five 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:27.760 total strangers into your home and you don't really know 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:31.079 how it's gonna go. And you know you have to 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:33.120 drill down. You have to get to know who they are. 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:35.760 And I'm pretty good at that. I'm a pretty good 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:39.480 read of people. But I just, um, they were all awesome. 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:42.760 And everybody I always have dated, they always get a nickname, 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:46.520 and these guys are no different. So um, I have 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:49.880 funny Man, music Man, we have w T is the 0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:56.800 World Traveler with beans um because beans easy um. And 0:10:56.880 --> 0:11:00.880 that we have has Matt. I'm gonna leave that. I 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:02.480 don't know. I don't know if has mats and name 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:04.560 I would want so much. So So you were saying 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:06.880 the whole cooking thing was kind of like a like 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:09.120 a test, for lack of a better word, where you 0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:11.080 want to make sure that they're self sufficient and independent 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:14.679 enough to at least prepare something for themselves. And they 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:19.720 came with their a game, all of them. That was great. 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:22.080 I I'll be honest, if I was put in that 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:24.880 same situation as a guy that was expected to bring 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:28.680 like a signature dish, if you will, I would fail, 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:31.320 and immediately I would be I would be kicked out 0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:33.160 right away. So I'm proud of your guys for at 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:37.599 least being able to step up and and handle that appropriately. Um, 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:39.120 so did you guys? You guys all didn't live in 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:40.840 the same house, right, you guys were in separate houses. 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:44.400 Not not not you and the men, but Alexis and Joyce. Right, 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:46.520 you guys are in separate houses. And then you were 0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:50.240 saying there was twenty people. Is that was there? Twenty 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:55.640 uh re leading ladies, twenty different leading ladies. That's amazing. 0:11:56.880 --> 0:12:03.000 That's a hundred guys, Matt, matthe thank you, thank you. 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:06.240 I went to sixth great algebra.

So are you close 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:12.320 with all of the other the leading ladies, because you 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:14.120 two are you two seem very close. You two seem 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:15.720 like your your best friends. So are you close with 0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:19.320 the restaurant? We're pretty close. Yeah. We have like a 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:21.559 little group chat and we all support each other. We 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:23.559 all went through this experience, so I would say yes, 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:30.240 yea awesome like a sisterhood. Sister sisterhood guys, So we 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:34.080 all went through the experience and the process work for 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:37.040 some of us, we didn't work for others. So it's just, 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:40.400 you know, funny to kind of see everyone show. We're 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:44.200 so excited about the premier last night. I thought it 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:46.800 was terrific, and you know, each one of us are 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:50.360 very different, so I think it will not I think 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:54.160 it'll be very entertaining and certainly not boring. And the 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:59.800 women are in charge. So did you guys get to 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:02.480 did you guys get to talk to one another before 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:06.800 the men entered your house or like and ask questions 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:08.360 to be like, Okay, what was your experience, Like do 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:10.160 you have any advice for me? No, it's just kind 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:13.440 of you guys didn't talk till afterwards, And yeah, we 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:16.080 didn't talk to afterwards. Um I did pass along like 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:19.559 a little message. But we didn't talk to each other 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:23.960 until after, like literally until this month. So and no 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:28.760 one knows that the outcome. No one knows anyone's outcome, right, 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:31.440 So that's what's kind of interesting. So we're all kind 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:35.080 of rooting and we're seeing a little clips of the shows. 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:37.600 But you know, we were all on text last night. 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:39.280 What do you think she's gonna pick? What do you 0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:41.480 think she's gonna pick? This One's rooting for this one? 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:48.000 Now that's intentional, right, Like, are you guys you just 0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:50.000 kind of keep it interesting for everyone to watch? Or 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:53.200 are you? Um? Like, how come? How come you guys 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:55.840 don't know the ending results for each other just because 0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:59.640 it's the show. Everybody's got a tune in. No, I 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:02.440 like it. I like the cliffhanger. I do like that. 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:09.280 You guys are true fans right there? My curiosity, Oh 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:11.800 my gosh. I remember after my first season of being 0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:13.920 on The Bachelorette, it was between Peter and Brian and 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:15.680 Peter and I were super close, and I would text 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:17.520 Peter every single day, like, tell me what happened, Tell 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:19.680 me what happened, and he wouldn't. He wouldn't, he wouldn't 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:21.600 tell me he's doing exactly what Joyce and Alexis are 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:35.720 doing right now. Oh it killed me inside. Um, I 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:38.240 gotta know what was it like? What was the elimination process? Like? 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:40.640 As time war on, I would imagine you went from 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:42.800 five to four to three to two? Right? Was that 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:45.360 a hard part of the show for you guys? For me, 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:49.960 I can be brutally honest and I think, and I 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:52.720 will tell you I think on my episode there was 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:56.000 some really powerful moments. Everyone walked away with a life 0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:59.360 lesson and that's what made I think my episode so 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:03.600 great to why we're all really great friends? Um, you know, 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:07.440 everybody really walked away either learning something about themselves, learning 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:11.200 something about what they wanted of a relationship. Um. You 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:13.480 know some some of the fellas did get a little 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:17.480 emotional and and you know, um some have you know 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:22.080 after the show said, you know, all of the conversations, um, 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:25.160 you know really made me think. And they've done certain 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:29.480 things since the show. So for me, I really felt 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:33.360 like I was on a journey. And as difficult as 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:36.320 it was to let them go because they're all fabulous 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:40.120 and you know, I date all of them, but there 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:43.480 was one, uh, you know, you there's there's you know, 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:45.920 you're narrowing down and you kind of know what you're 0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:49.880 looking for and what maybe is the perfect fit for you. Um. 0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:53.400 So it was hard, but it was um you know, 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:56.280 I think we were also honest and all the walls 0:15:56.280 --> 0:16:00.280 had come down. I don't think it was surprised, Sack, 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:05.920 but that definitely is a good sign. I guess, alexis 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:09.440 what about you. I think, like any like any you know, 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:13.360 dating show where elimination is involved, the big the beginning 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:15.840 is always easy, Like I one guy I was like, 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:18.000 you better pack your bag and get out, and the 0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:21.120 other like closer to God towards eliminating. I was like, oh, 0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:23.120 this is getting a little bit tough because I really 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:26.160 have these great guys here. So at the beginning it 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:28.960 was pretty easy, and then later on it got a 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:33.720 little bit more difficult. Um, yeah, that's it was. It 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:39.480 was definitely hard because I think like people like connect 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:42.800 themselves in the elimination process, so they feel kind of 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:44.840 like really disappointed. And I really didn't want to hurt 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:48.200 anyone's feelings. I just was looking for the one, and 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:50.880 in my from what I've seen in that very little 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:53.840 bit of time, I had to eliminate them, but they 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:56.800 were all good sports about it. Well, well, props to you, guys, 0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:58.960 because that would definitely be the most challenging thing for me. 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:01.520 I have are enough time telling our dog training we're 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:03.480 not going to use them anymore. Like I can imagine 0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:06.040 telling people on TV that we're not gonna be dating anymore. 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:09.520 You know, So kodas to you. That definitely takes some 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:12.960 fortitude for sure. Uh So, going on to the show, 0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:15.680 I gotta ask, what is your family and friends think 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:17.920 about did they have any like input about you, guys 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:19.359 going on the show and you think that alexis I 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:22.439 feel like you're probably close to your family. Yeah, so 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:25.200 I'm actually I'm Latina, what are you Connectory and my 0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:28.920 family and are very very close. This is so unconventional, 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:32.240 But my family and friends expected this on me because 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:35.040 I'm not a conventional kind of person, like I do 0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:38.479 very spontaneous random things. So they were like, this is 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:41.840 her being crazy again, and yeah, Like, I mean they 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:45.239 all supported me. Um the closer we got towards it, 0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:47.960 they were like, oh crap, we're gonna be on TV. 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:50.440 And I don't know if I how I feel about this, 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:54.159 but my family and friends all supported me. They know 0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:56.280 the kind of person that I am, and so it 0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:59.919 can kind of fit with my personality. Yeah, do you 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:07.359 both live alone? Yes, So let's just who do you 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:10.800 live with? My dad and I co own a house 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:13.160 and so I lived in the house that I own 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:18.680 with my dad because you know or cities. Definitely, these 0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:20.720 guys had to move into the house with you and 0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:32.919 your dad was there. Oh my oh, I honestly like 0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:36.879 dad interact. My dad is a Puerto Rican man, so 0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:40.280 it really would not be easy for these guys. The 0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:44.200 guys would have done running. That's what I want to see. Hey, 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:48.520 it's a survival of the fittest. They were very, very 0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:51.520 uncomfortable and uh in the time that they got to 0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:58.680 uh meet him, Oh my god, that is amazing. Um 0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:00.640 so joy Sorry, I know Dean as you as well. 0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:03.480 What did your friends and family? What did they think 0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:04.800 when they found out that you were about to be 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:08.800 on a reality dating show? So I think my son, 0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:12.160 although supportive of the process, was like, does it really 0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:15.720 have to be on TV? You're my mom, and you know, 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:18.240 I don't think anyone really wants to see the mom 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:27.399 kissing anyone on TV? So right, So thank you Alexis, 0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:30.520 but um, you know, so I think it. You know, 0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:32.760 it was a little bit challenging for him, so he 0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:36.240 really didn't want to participate. Um and neither did my brother, 0:19:36.359 --> 0:19:42.280 but my cousins and my friends was supportive of it. Um, 0:19:42.320 --> 0:19:46.480 you know, I'm terrible at dating your show, I do 0:19:46.720 --> 0:19:51.320 stay or suck at dating. And you know, they go, 0:19:51.400 --> 0:19:53.960 she goes through him like big candy. She's like big bank. 0:19:54.000 --> 0:19:56.040 Bank gotta go to the you know, I kicked him 0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:59.200 to the curve pretty offense. So they actually said it's 0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:02.720 gonna be awesome for you to not have your computer 0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:05.919 and not have your phone. I did feel a little naked, 0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:08.880 I will say the first couple of days without that. 0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:11.600 I mean, I'm a business person. I'm always with my 0:20:11.680 --> 0:20:14.680 phone and my computer and it really and that was 0:20:14.880 --> 0:20:18.000 probably my life lesson is the balance. You know, I 0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:20.679 didn't have a lot of balance and you know, just 0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:27.200 prioritizing um, as my mother continues to tell me, Um, 0:20:27.400 --> 0:20:30.080 you wasting you pretty. You know, I've got to be 0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:34.000 going for a long as I'm getting older, so um, 0:20:34.040 --> 0:20:37.120 you know I have to strive for the balance. And UM, 0:20:37.119 --> 0:20:41.280 it really kind of pushed me to recognize some priorities. Um, 0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:45.800 and so after this it's different. Yeah. I mean, I 0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:48.600 feel like going on reality TV show, which is every 0:20:48.640 --> 0:20:51.560 single one of us have done now and assume I 0:20:51.640 --> 0:20:54.320 have you learned a lot about yourself and you really 0:20:54.359 --> 0:20:56.120 get some life lessons out of it. So I'm very 0:20:56.119 --> 0:20:58.960 happy that both of you felt like that this process, 0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:03.680 we all spoiling anything, was definitely a positive experience.
