Speaker 1: at the beginning, right early early.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Were you shocked to get the call for Paradise?
Speaker 2: I was surprised. I was.
Speaker 3: It was debating on doing it, like I do, I
Speaker 3: want to do it, didn't really expect the call to
Speaker 3: be honest, and I was excited to get it.
Speaker 2: Let's do it.
Speaker 4: I feel like you were most notable on GEN season
Speaker 4: for your Night one tension with Jeremy over the car situation.
Speaker 5: Do you want to break that down a little bit for.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Listen, I didn't know we had these kind of resources.
Speaker 3: When I first came out of a limo, I had
Speaker 3: two syringes because I'm in medical aesthetics. Also on a restaurant,
Speaker 3: but I'm in medical aesthetics, and I had shots in
Speaker 3: syringes and we're doing these shots and the things that
Speaker 3: I brought with me, and then I see Jeremy pull
Speaker 3: up in like a sports car.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got resources like this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I'm like, I'm taking that car. And I'm
Speaker 3: like I'm joking around, and all the guys in the
Speaker 3: house like you should do it, Like you should do it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: take a car, and everybody's everybody in the house is
Speaker 3: on board with it.
Speaker 2: And as the night's going on, there's like no time.
Speaker 3: To talk to jan Thirty two guys eighteen of them
Speaker 3: may have spoken to her.
Speaker 2: I'm like, where's my opportunity. That's the opportunity.
Speaker 3: So I go ahead and and you know, is that
Speaker 3: the best first impression. I would look back and say no.
Speaker 3: It was an iconic moment. I would look back and say.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, okay, okay. And you you you mentioned you
Speaker 1: own a restaurant. What a restaurant is that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the Whales Tail.
Speaker 3: We actually just opened up in the Hampton's on Long Island,
Speaker 3: very exciting. I literally left Paradise. We opened the doors
Speaker 3: three days later. I was like in the middle of
Speaker 3: the build out. During the filming of Paradise, it was
Speaker 3: Hampton Bays, so it's it's like literally a minute from
Speaker 3: the beach. Punk Wuad Beach. It's a good spot Tacos,
Speaker 3: Margarita's and.
Speaker 1: You is there? Is this the second one of these restaurants.
Speaker 1: Do you have another one in Florida?
Speaker 3: We have one in Northport actually Northport, Long Island, Huntington area,
Speaker 3: north Shore.
Speaker 2: This is our first one on the south Shore.
Speaker 3: We always wanted to break like the out East area,
Speaker 3: get into the out East area.
Speaker 2: Was it gonna be? Man talk? Was it gonna be?
Speaker 3: East Hampton Hampton Bays is like kind of buzzing now,
Speaker 3: like it's it's gonna become like the next like East
Speaker 3: hamp the kind of thing like got in I think early.
Speaker 3: It's an area that's being very well built up. It
Speaker 3: was a great opportunity to do it. Did it with
Speaker 3: my brother in law. It has been great.
Speaker 2: It's a lot of work. I'm exhausted, but.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say that's that's an interesting jump
Speaker 1: from medical sales to restaurants. Where have you been in
Speaker 1: like the restaurant industry at all before opening one?
Speaker 3: So yeah, since I was nineteen years old, I started
Speaker 3: the first restaurant with my brother in law. We opened
Speaker 3: the doors together, like I was like the dishwasher, the
Speaker 3: fry guy, the painter, the exit out of the way
Speaker 3: to the bartender. And then I ended up actually running
Speaker 3: his business for four or five years straight out of college,
Speaker 3: so I knew the business in and out, okay, And
Speaker 3: that was his first phone call in terms of han,
Speaker 3: I need a partner.
Speaker 2: Are you interested?
Speaker 3: And I'm still doing medical aesthetics today, like I'm in
Speaker 3: Florida today and still in medical aesthetics sales as well.
Speaker 2: So it's a lot to juggle him, but it's worth it.
Speaker 1: Is that where you live Florida?
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't right, Okay, cool?
Speaker 1: Cool, all right, let's get into uh, let's get into
Speaker 1: the show a little bit. So you're on this new show,
Speaker 1: Bachelor in Paradise. It's different than anything they've ever done before.
Speaker 1: Were you Did you ever watch Paradise prior.
Speaker 3: I did when I received the phone call. Yeah, me
Speaker 3: and my brother had some late nights watching the last
Speaker 3: two episodes.
Speaker 2: Andrew was like my favorite character. That's why it was
Speaker 2: like crazy when he showed up. I was like, listen, I'm.
Speaker 3: Like like a fan of you, like I feel it's
Speaker 3: like it's weird to see you and like a really
Speaker 3: like a person because I'm like a fan of like
Speaker 3: your character of like who you are on the show.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it was awesome.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was just me and my mother would just
Speaker 3: watch all the seasons back to back to back because
Speaker 3: like what are you gonna wear?
Speaker 2: So you know a little strategy behind it.
Speaker 5: That's a good move.
Speaker 4: We always say, like people that are like, oh, I
Speaker 4: watched like one episode and then I went on it's stressed?
Speaker 5: Is me out for them? You know, like you should
Speaker 5: have something, you should have prepare.
Speaker 1: You should have somewhat of a plan or a reason
Speaker 1: to go.
Speaker 5: Just an understanding of what you're walking.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you don't need it, but it helps.
Speaker 3: And I think that was my problem on Gen season
Speaker 3: was I walked in completely blind. I don't get me wrong,
Speaker 3: but I walked in pretty blind because like talking to
Speaker 3: the other guys like, oh, this is what's gonna happen next,
Speaker 3: this is what's gonna.
Speaker 2: Happen next, like talking in our rooms.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you get you get down there and you
Speaker 1: kind of like hit it off with Zoe. You want
Speaker 1: to just like kind of give us a little breakdown
Speaker 1: of that relationship and.
Speaker 5: And how was your day one?
Speaker 4: And finding kind of that connection because you were other
Speaker 4: than Kyle. I would say, you were one of the
Speaker 4: guys that was less known probably to some of the
Speaker 4: way men because you did go home so early on
Speaker 4: Jen season.
Speaker 2: Yes, so there's a lot to unpack there.
Speaker 3: So I didn't speak to any of the guys when
Speaker 3: I got the phone call, so I wanted it to
Speaker 3: be a surprise. And we had Jonathan, Ricky, Jeremy Spencer
Speaker 3: all day one people, myself being one of them as well,
Speaker 3: So I was nervous going into it one because I'm like,
Speaker 3: I hope they don't the girls don't know me for
Speaker 3: the guy that's still Jeremy's car, Like, yeah, I hope
Speaker 3: they don't remember me for that person. So our little
Speaker 3: nerves going into it from that aspect. And then when
Speaker 3: I walked in, there was like a lot of comfort around,
Speaker 3: like at least the guys. I was like, Oh, we've
Speaker 3: done this together a year ago, so that was kind
Speaker 3: of like what was going on in my mind, and
Speaker 3: they were super like surprise and excited to see me.
Speaker 3: So it was definitely like a fun intro and like
Speaker 3: this is gonna be an amazing experience, and then like
Speaker 3: leading into like the Zoey situation, you know, we're all
Speaker 3: sitting down have a conversation.
Speaker 2: Everyone's getting to know each other. No one knows me
Speaker 2: as the guy that took car from Genes. Okay, I'm
Speaker 2: in the clear here.
Speaker 3: And then all the guys are like, yeah, no, he
Speaker 3: was on the show with us, so they're like, okay,
Speaker 3: he's valid, he's good. So I'm like okay, now I'm
Speaker 3: comfortable and we're just having conversations.
Speaker 2: And Zoe stands out.
Speaker 3: As like someone who starts like pressing me in a
Speaker 3: good way, like asking me like tough questions and like argumentative.
Speaker 3: But it's like attractive because like she wants to get
Speaker 3: to know who I am and like just asking me
Speaker 3: difficult questions, and I'm like super engaged, and I'm like okay,
Speaker 3: like this is attractive, and like that's like really where
Speaker 3: we hit it off because like just that situation and
Speaker 3: you know her her interests and like her just hting
Speaker 3: me with tough questions and it was kind of like
Speaker 3: a fun, like friendly, like argumentative conversations.
Speaker 2: That's like the way it started off, Like the first
Speaker 2: half the day.
Speaker 4: Yeascha, were you worried about any potential tension between you
Speaker 4: and Jeremy at all?
Speaker 3: Yes and no, and I have gotten past it, you know,
Speaker 3: i'd like to think so I later find out that
Speaker 3: we did, But I don't know what kind of resentment
Speaker 3: he may hold from it, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: Like it's not really the best look for him, not
Speaker 3: really the best look for me.
Speaker 2: But it was a funny I.
Speaker 1: Mean, but like like like overall, out of all the
Speaker 1: like beefs and and things that have happened on this show,
Speaker 1: this is very minuscule.
Speaker 4: I just like, you know, it wasn't like this happened,
Speaker 4: and then you were on the show for five six
Speaker 4: more weeks to where you kind of like can get
Speaker 4: past it and like develop that friendship. So you never
Speaker 4: really know where people stand where he's just like made
Speaker 4: a judgment on you.
Speaker 5: And is walking around being like that guy's a douche.
Speaker 3: Don't talk to him, Like took the car Grant's beatboxing.
Speaker 3: Then I freestyled to Grant's beatbox about stealing the car
Speaker 3: from him, and like everyone of the room's laughing except
Speaker 3: for him, And I'm like, is there gonna be resent
Speaker 3: because yeah, we we had conversations post show and I
Speaker 3: thought we were good, and honestly, we weren't like the way, Yeah,
Speaker 3: when I came in the way he spoke to was like,
Speaker 3: I'm super surprised to see you, Like it's great to
Speaker 3: see you, and it seemed seemed good. And later on
Speaker 3: when we have conversations, we realize that we're on the
Speaker 3: same page.
Speaker 4: Sokay, Yeah, well, well something's going on consations between you
Speaker 4: and Jeremy later.
Speaker 2: A couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, we'll get into that in a little In
Speaker 1: a little bit, I would say to like kind of
Speaker 1: just like talk a little bit more about the Zoe situation.
Speaker 1: You know, Presa comes in, obviously you're not at this point,
Speaker 1: no one's going to be closed off. You go on
Speaker 1: the date with Prisa. Zoe really does not like the
Speaker 1: way you handled the situation. I guess, like, what's your
Speaker 1: take on that? Do you regret anything?
Speaker 2: It's tough to say.
Speaker 3: I mean, we're in the first week compared to and
Speaker 3: everyone needs to be op. Everyone's kind of on the
Speaker 3: same page as being open, except for Spencer and Jess.
Speaker 2: They love at first sight and like that's it, yeah,
Speaker 2: and it just goes on. But everyone else like our
Speaker 2: options are open, Like it's the first week.
Speaker 3: We have ten more weeks to you know, to go
Speaker 3: through meeting connections, meeting other people, seeing if you have
Speaker 3: a connection with someone else, have conversations with other people. And
Speaker 3: I was always open to that, and I felt as
Speaker 3: though I.
Speaker 2: Had had the conversation, had you know, iterated that to her.
Speaker 3: And it was like when the power shift of the rose,
Speaker 3: Like there's a very serious power shift of the rose.
Speaker 3: It's like when the girls have it, you know, the
Speaker 3: guys want the rose, and when the guys have the rose,
Speaker 3: the girls start to change up and people's mentalities start
Speaker 3: to change. It's like I woke up that morning and
Speaker 3: she was very uneasy immediately.
Speaker 2: Like I said hi to her in the morning.
Speaker 3: We had breakfast, but she was very tense and kind
Speaker 3: of closed off, and it was like it was it
Speaker 3: was tough to really have a conversation with her, and
Speaker 3: I was kind of like tiptoeing around her. I felt
Speaker 3: like I was walking on eggshells a little bit, and
Speaker 3: it was uncomfortable. Like I clearly look uncomfortable. And it's
Speaker 3: not because I'm trying to be like sleazy er. I
Speaker 3: have some sort of you know, alternate agenda. It's I
Speaker 3: legitially feel uncomfortable.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And like feel as though.
Speaker 3: And I've also heard from some other girls like how
Speaker 3: she reacts to things from Grand Season.
Speaker 2: Yeah, how she reacts to things.
Speaker 3: So I'm like a little nervous to be completely upfront
Speaker 3: about everything, but I am saying to her, like, let's
Speaker 3: keep our options open.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she said she felt like you switched up that morning,
Speaker 4: But you feel that she switched up that morning in
Speaker 4: terms of where you guys are at, we're.
Speaker 1: Talking about the morning after your date with police.
Speaker 4: No, I'm talking about the morning after the road ceremony.
Speaker 4: I think is the morning you're referring to as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was just intense energy okay, okay that I
Speaker 3: was feeling from her, Like I mean we're sitting down
Speaker 3: eating breakfast.
Speaker 2: I'm like eating the fruit. You could hear like the
Speaker 2: crunches of the fruit. This is nine in the morning.
Speaker 2: Like I will get to.
Speaker 3: Like be a little enthusiastic, like, hey babe, what's going on?
Speaker 2: Like you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Like it it was almost like she woke up and
Speaker 3: felt like it was over before it was over, and
Speaker 3: like that, I felt that energy and I was like,
Speaker 3: do I need to look elsewhere?
Speaker 2: Like what is going on? And I know another way,
Speaker 2: But that's how I felt.
Speaker 5: Was there any.
Speaker 4: Like feeling of we should have a conversation or were
Speaker 4: you thinking of more taking like a backseat approach of
Speaker 4: our Right, Let's see how the day unfolds, let's see
Speaker 4: where this is coming from.
Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, you now have
Speaker 1: the rows. So it's kind of like you know you
Speaker 1: do have the power. Yeah, well but he does. I mean,
Speaker 1: like like if he does.
Speaker 3: Statement, it's it's it's a very true statement. It's the
Speaker 3: power shift is incredible, it really is. So it's true
Speaker 3: what he's saying.
Speaker 2: It's very valid.
Speaker 3: But I'm just kind of feeling things out and I'm yeah,
Speaker 3: let's se who else comes here, let's have conversations. But
Speaker 3: the energy immediately I'm being completely like the energy she
Speaker 3: was giving it wasn't like like I'm eating. You can
Speaker 3: put your arm around me and say like hey, good morning,
Speaker 3: and like give me a hug and a kiss too,
Speaker 3: Like not all the attention has to come from me immediately.
Speaker 2: That's kind of like what was happening.
Speaker 3: And it's not that I didn't feel wanted, but it's
Speaker 3: almost that like she I'm telling you, like she was
Speaker 3: came out that morning as if like it was over
Speaker 3: before it was over, and the game was literally didn't
Speaker 3: even start.
Speaker 4: Okay, So then we see Parisa come in, you and Zoe,
Speaker 4: it sounds like on both sides you're both feeling like
Speaker 4: you're not in a good place that morning. Freeza comes in,
Speaker 4: you have a conversation with her. Definitely seems like there's
Speaker 4: kind of an immediate attraction interest.
Speaker 5: Walk us through that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean me and Spencer and Jonathan are just
Speaker 3: throwing the football around on the beach.
Speaker 2: It's one of my favorite things to do.
Speaker 3: And then two girls just rip jet skis beach them
Speaker 3: and just baywatch their life jackets off and I'm.
Speaker 2: Like, whoa Like it was it was a scene and
Speaker 2: I was like, who is this? Like I don't know,
Speaker 2: don't know who they are.
Speaker 3: And then I didn't know who they are, you know
Speaker 3: previously from Grant season. And you know, we lock eyes
Speaker 3: and we're having good, you know, good conversation, good communication,
Speaker 3: and immediately, yes, I'm interested, Like I could.
Speaker 2: Tell if she's Italian. I'm Italian.
Speaker 3: There's some attraction to it, but like energy is the
Speaker 3: most important thing, So like I'm willing to just open
Speaker 3: to having a conversation, like it's not like love at
Speaker 3: first sight, but excited to like have conversations with people,
Speaker 3: Like there're still conversations I wanted to have with Alex,
Speaker 3: conversations I wanted to have with Lexi, which we can
Speaker 3: get into later as well that I may or may
Speaker 3: not have been able to have.
Speaker 2: But that's like where my head was at at the time.
Speaker 1: So then after you, guys, you clearly hit it off
Speaker 1: on the date with Parisa. After that date, are you
Speaker 1: at all like torn of like, oh should I should
Speaker 1: I get my roast Zoe? You know? Or you just
Speaker 1: kind of like, okay, right for the time being, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna stick with Parisa now.
Speaker 2: The date so this is like the other thing I
Speaker 2: could say is like the date went like so.
Speaker 1: Well, like yeah, way, yeah.
Speaker 2: We're at We're on the date.
Speaker 3: It's like the conversation is so organic and enthusiastic and
Speaker 3: fun and exciting, and I'm like smiling involuntarily ear to ear,
Speaker 3: And some things with Zoe felt like very forced on
Speaker 3: both ends, like Hey, you want to go for a
Speaker 3: walk on the beach.
Speaker 2: I'm like, do you want to go for a walk?
Speaker 2: Is it a question like or do you like Let's
Speaker 2: just go for a walk. Tell me like, let's go
Speaker 2: for a walk.
Speaker 3: And and like with Parisa things, we're just so natural organically,
Speaker 3: we're just yapping to each other without thinking about it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like as soon as I saw that, I'm.
Speaker 3: Like, Okay, there's a spark. There's a connection. Don't get
Speaker 3: me wrong. There was a spark in a connection with
Speaker 3: Zoe as well, but like this one is the flames
Speaker 3: are much higher, right, And I don't have my mind
Speaker 3: made up at all because I'm still getting to know her.
Speaker 3: I'm like, you know, if I give her a rose,
Speaker 3: is she gonna give me a rose next week? Or
Speaker 3: some guy's gonna come in and she's attracted to somebody else,
Speaker 3: because I'm sure she has a list of people that
Speaker 3: she's attracted to and wants to see comeing to Paradise
Speaker 3: as well, because everyone's options are still open. It's paradise,
Speaker 3: Like we can't forget that it's paradise. It's week one,
Speaker 3: there's ten weeks. There's a lot and a lot of
Speaker 3: arrivals and a lot of people to have conversations with.
Speaker 3: So not immediately, but I'm definitely hot on Parisa, without
Speaker 3: a doubt, for sure, in this mood.
Speaker 4: Okay, So then we jump to the next you know,
Speaker 4: you come back from your date. We see you and
Speaker 4: Freees are still kind of sharing someone on one time,
Speaker 4: you're going swimming together, and then we see a conversation
Speaker 4: between you and Zoe where she expresses her frustrations with
Speaker 4: how you handled that situation. Do you see where she's
Speaker 4: coming from? Do you have any regrets? Is there anything
Speaker 4: you want to add that maybe we didn't see.
Speaker 3: That conversation was much longer than we showed, obviously for
Speaker 3: you know, reasons. But television can only go on for
Speaker 3: so long. This week, that season could be a year
Speaker 3: long if you wanted to watch it.
Speaker 1: Well, that's what I tell people. A lot of people
Speaker 1: that come on, they're like, well, they didn't see everything.
Speaker 1: It's like, well, well, no shit, Like you know, you
Speaker 1: guys are filming fourteen hours a day. If we saw
Speaker 1: it all, it.
Speaker 3: Would take a long time, actually twenty four to seven
Speaker 3: because we have the audio and cameras in our room.
Speaker 2: So yeah, at all times. And it was a much
Speaker 2: longer conversation.
Speaker 3: That was obviously for trade because whatever restrictions.
Speaker 2: And there's a lot of things that I didn't like
Speaker 2: that I.
Speaker 3: Heard and a lot of things that she was completely
Speaker 3: you know, validated and saying, but the way she approached it.
Speaker 1: I was completely I'm like, you're completely turned off by.
Speaker 3: Like again, she came in with like knowing the game
Speaker 3: was over before the game was over, and that's how
Speaker 3: she handled the situation. Like she attacked my character, my integrity,
Speaker 3: called me names, said a bunch of things to me.
Speaker 3: I completely bit my lip. I'm like, I'm not gonna
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna get involved with calling people names and
Speaker 3: describing people, giving you attack people's character.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna do that.
Speaker 3: So she did that, and I was like, okay, Like
Speaker 3: at that point my decision was made up based on
Speaker 3: that conversation.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah it was.
Speaker 3: Was she valid in a lot of things that she said, absolutely,
Speaker 3: the way she handled it, absolutely not. And after that conversation,
Speaker 3: my mind was ninety five percent made up. She does
Speaker 3: approach me later on at the Rose ceremony, does have
Speaker 3: a nice conversation with me, does apologize, and she's like, listen,
Speaker 3: I think I came on to you like really hot
Speaker 3: and really strong.
Speaker 2: I could have approached you better, and like now.
Speaker 3: We're at you know, it's the eleventh hour, and I'm like, well,
Speaker 3: wait a second, Like okay, She's.
Speaker 2: Like, you know, accepting that, like maybe she didn't approach
Speaker 2: it the right way.
Speaker 3: Now it's the rose ceremony, and I'm like thinking, do
Speaker 3: I give her another shot?
Speaker 2: Or do I go with Parisa.
Speaker 3: So it's weird because that day I was like pacing
Speaker 3: the entire resort, super upset about the conversation we had.
Speaker 3: And then the rose ceremony, She's starting to like convince
Speaker 3: me that like she could have handled it better the conversation,
Speaker 3: and now I'm in a toss up and it went
Speaker 3: from like ninety five percent to like sixty four.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, so you end up you end up
Speaker 1: choosing Parisa. We'll cut. We'll cut to this episode because
Speaker 1: you and PRIs So win the Overnight Challenge where the
Speaker 1: challenge looked like like I personally would have absolutely hated it,
Speaker 1: Like I like we watched it. I was like I
Speaker 1: would never.
Speaker 5: This is Joe's name.
Speaker 4: Were like having a dress, if in any costume and
Speaker 4: playing any sort of like performmance kind of game.
Speaker 5: It's like his literal night that's my nightmare.
Speaker 4: It looked like watching the episode, you guys did great
Speaker 4: and it came across very fun. I would imagine it
Speaker 4: also felt a little awkward, but it.
Speaker 1: Did you guys want you guys won? Did you think
Speaker 1: you were gonna war?
Speaker 2: More so?
Speaker 3: I was in an outfit for about eight hours, really
Speaker 3: upset about it. Like, but when all the guys got
Speaker 3: into a room together, like we started playing playing music
Speaker 3: or listen to Future and a bunch of other songs
Speaker 3: like We'll again hyped up and everyone just leaning into it,
Speaker 3: I'm like, all right, we're gonna do this, like we're
Speaker 3: gonna do it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, We're gonna lead into this and do it.
Speaker 3: And then like once everybody, even like the Goldens like
Speaker 3: Keith and him like had some crazy outfits on. They
Speaker 3: took it super serious and we all just leaned into it.
Speaker 3: Like that's when like all of those feelings.
Speaker 2: Like right away, like I don't want to do this,
Speaker 2: I don't want.
Speaker 3: To be dressed like this, I don't want to I
Speaker 3: don't want to do it, and it became like, honestly,
Speaker 3: it actually became like fun. We had a blast doing
Speaker 3: it was it was a good time, and I'm like, one,
Speaker 3: I want to have like one on one time with Briso,
Speaker 3: like away from cameras having depth conversations. And two, like
Speaker 3: all my buddies like my nicknames, like the dancer, like
Speaker 3: I'm out whatever the bars, clubs, like I'm always dancing
Speaker 3: having a good time.
Speaker 2: So I'm like, I need to like rep the nickname.
Speaker 2: I need to win the challenge.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you you win the challenge and we see
Speaker 1: a little bit of your overnight now again. Like like
Speaker 1: you mentioned before, I'm sure there's a lot of conversations
Speaker 1: had in that room that we don't get to see.
Speaker 1: But what we do see is kind of I would
Speaker 1: call it an argument of your You guys are kind
Speaker 1: of like She's like, what's your favorite color? And you're like,
Speaker 1: I'm not playing that game right now. Let's you're laughing,
Speaker 1: So let's get into that. Because it did seem like
Speaker 1: it was a It seemed like it was a big
Speaker 1: issue for Prisa at the time, and she.
Speaker 4: Says in her interview like I was just trying to
Speaker 4: be playful and he snapped at me. And that is
Speaker 4: kind of how it reads watching it as a viewer.
Speaker 4: So can you provide more context?
Speaker 1: Yeah, or maybe you don't have a favorite color?
Speaker 3: Yeah, To be honestly, I don't like I've chosen one.
Speaker 2: Like I really don't have a favorite color. It's like
Speaker 2: depends on the time of the year, the season, what
Speaker 2: out but I'm wearing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I was in this outfit that you said
Speaker 3: you don't want to be in.
Speaker 2: I don't want to be in neither. And I was
Speaker 2: in this alphum for like eight hours.
Speaker 3: It's raining, I'm sweaty, I'm exhausted, it's two in the morning.
Speaker 2: It's literally a full moon. The stars are incredible.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we have an ocean front view, there's a pool,
Speaker 3: there's a hot tub, there's like five bedrooms, five showers,
Speaker 3: there's two kitchens, there's an elevator in the place. We're
Speaker 3: drinking champagne, and like, I just want to sit around
Speaker 3: the pool and like have like a romantic moment and
Speaker 3: like just have simple conversation and be left alone.
Speaker 2: So I'm kind of fire you. With the camera crew
Speaker 2: in production, this is.
Speaker 5: Exactly what you said.
Speaker 4: Yeah, literally, like I know exactly what's happening here, Like
Speaker 4: they want them to film a chat in the pool,
Speaker 4: and Brian doesn't want to be on a TV show anymore.
Speaker 1: I mean, really, go on the show. Go on the
Speaker 1: show long enough I mean, you go on the show
Speaker 1: many times and you'll you'll be able to pick up
Speaker 1: what's happening.
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's and I'm always like respectful to the
Speaker 3: production crew and things like that, but I'm like, listen,
Speaker 3: it's two in the morning.
Speaker 2: You guys want us out of here. Date six hours together.
Speaker 3: And then so she's like, so we're having a conversation,
Speaker 3: and that's her opener. Start sitting in the pool and
Speaker 3: she's like, so, what's your favorite color?
Speaker 2: And I was like, I'm not doing this. I was like,
Speaker 2: I'm not doing this. I'm not doing this. And then
Speaker 2: she started crying and I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: what did I do?
Speaker 3: And it was a lot of you know, what I
Speaker 3: was doing preemptively with the camera crew and stuff like
Speaker 3: that that created that. She's like, yeah, I was just
Speaker 3: trying to have like a fun conversation. I'm sorry, and
Speaker 3: I'm like, I shouldn't have reacted that way. I shouldn't have.
Speaker 3: I really just wanted to like embrace like the scenery
Speaker 3: and like everything that we had, all the amenities that
Speaker 3: we have here to enjoy them, and like we've had
Speaker 3: in very in depth conversations about our families and we
Speaker 3: know already like a lot about each other, and just
Speaker 3: the opener is what's your favorite color?
Speaker 2: And I was like that was it?
Speaker 5: That was it?
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 2: I was just like I'm not doing this.
Speaker 3: I'm not doing this, and she got upset about it,
Speaker 3: which is then I felt bad for because I don't
Speaker 3: think she would react that way.
Speaker 2: And then immediately like I settled down, I calm down.
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, like was that why you got upset?
Speaker 3: Like trying to figure out like what, what where the
Speaker 3: emotions are coming from?
Speaker 2: And we do move beyond it, like we we end
Speaker 2: up having a kid great night, like okay.
Speaker 3: That's over with leaves like me and her talk. We're
Speaker 3: in the pool, a sick time in the hot tuble
Speaker 3: just leave it to Tad. We're drinking champagne, we have
Speaker 3: the charcoutery board, and we take full advantage of the
Speaker 3: vip VIP suite and end up having a wonderful night
Speaker 3: and can we completely get over Okay?
Speaker 5: Interesting, it doesn't.
Speaker 4: It doesn't look that way in the morning, and we
Speaker 4: do see Preeza say I kind of wish we didn't
Speaker 4: win the challenge because it was so difficult. Do you
Speaker 4: feel like you were on the same page in the
Speaker 4: morning about how the rest.
Speaker 5: Of the night, what.
Speaker 2: I think we were Okay, Okay.
Speaker 4: There was maybe just a little bit of lingering frustrations
Speaker 4: of from that specific moment, but the rest of the night,
Speaker 4: you guys did get past.
Speaker 2: It because I'm like, don't worry. I'm like, they're not
Speaker 2: going to use that for the show.
Speaker 3: She's like, they're definitely gonna use that for the show,
Speaker 3: like me being just insanely naive, And.
Speaker 1: There was some yes, literally all they used.
Speaker 3: There's doesn't be some residual frustration resentment from that moment,
Speaker 3: but the night that.
Speaker 2: We had was incredible.
Speaker 5: Okay, that's great.
Speaker 1: Okay. So the last thing we the last thing we
Speaker 1: want to touch on real quick is you and Jeremy
Speaker 1: are in the bedroom together. There's pellicles. You guys are
Speaker 1: aware that you're being filmed. Correct, we are aware.
Speaker 3: You're aware, but you just to the extent no like
Speaker 3: qums like blowout that he had that was I love
Speaker 3: him to death, but I had to rewatch it five
Speaker 3: times because it was hilarious.
Speaker 2: But I love him to death at his expense. But
Speaker 2: I don't think he knew he was being filmed. Okay,
Speaker 2: So going back.
Speaker 4: To this moment, there's definitely as much as you like,
Speaker 4: this is never gonna make the cut. We do see
Speaker 4: Jeremy as like hiding from the camera, like fiddling his
Speaker 4: mic a little bit, so it couldn't work more obvious
Speaker 4: that you don't want this conversation to be on camera.
Speaker 4: I mean, you're on you're on camera. He's hiding in
Speaker 4: the corner, but we can hear what's happening.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, and he basically and he says I don't
Speaker 1: want What.
Speaker 2: Did he say?
Speaker 4: Jeremy says, I don't want to win this competition with Bailey.
Speaker 1: And I miss Susan and I miss Susie.
Speaker 4: And essentially like I wish i'd given Susie the rose,
Speaker 4: and if she came back tomorrow, I would I would
Speaker 4: give her my rose over Bailey. We hear you talk
Speaker 4: a little bit about how like Parisa wants you guys
Speaker 4: to win the competition and like that, you know, you
Speaker 4: want to have that time together. So it's kind of
Speaker 4: like this polarizing conversation of you know, you and Prisa
Speaker 4: really wanting to win this challenge and Jeremy essentially exposing
Speaker 4: like I don't want that private time with Bailey.
Speaker 1: Which which I will say not to sorry to cut
Speaker 1: you off. Was strange to me because it does seem
Speaker 1: like watching the show that Jeremy is into Bailey.
Speaker 4: Yes, as a viewer, it's shocking because they present as
Speaker 4: such a strong coup ballot.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but they seem like they're into.
Speaker 4: Each other totally, and I think they are, but it
Speaker 4: sounds like he is not as into her as we thought.
Speaker 2: So it wasn't that surprising because when Justin tries to.
Speaker 3: Give the rose to Susie and Justin walks off, it's
Speaker 3: I'm like next to Dale, Jeremy's like one person away
Speaker 3: from me, and.
Speaker 2: He literally turns over and he's like f and I'm
Speaker 2: like what it is?
Speaker 3: Like, I thought Justin was gonna give it to Susie
Speaker 3: and Susie was going to accept the rose, and I'd
Speaker 3: still have options open to talk to both of them.
Speaker 4: And I was like, oh yeah, we wondered that when
Speaker 4: that played out. We were saying, I wonder if Jeremy
Speaker 4: would have made a different decision had he known that
Speaker 4: Susie wasn't gonna excit Justice rest.
Speaker 2: You can see his facial expression.
Speaker 3: He's not shocked that Justin left and Susie didn't accept
Speaker 3: the rosies more shocked, like oh she's got yeah, And
Speaker 3: I don't know how deep it is until we're in
Speaker 3: the room together, you know, trying to win this challenge
Speaker 3: and he opens up about it like deeply me Dale Jeremy,
Speaker 3: and he's like, dude, like I as soon as I
Speaker 3: get out of here, like I'm dming Susie Like he's
Speaker 3: like he's like, bro, he's.
Speaker 2: Like getting getting like so emotional.
Speaker 3: He's like I would propose to her like on a
Speaker 3: spot right now. I'm just like damn man, like really
Speaker 3: it's like that. So I don't know what to think
Speaker 3: of it. And I'm just you know, I just listening,
Speaker 3: you know, and I'm not judging because I'm like listen,
Speaker 3: like I get it, like you.
Speaker 1: Guys have only been there for a short amount of time.
Speaker 3: This might be week three and like we're still exploring connections.
Speaker 3: She was a later rival. It's like I'm not here
Speaker 3: to judge about it, Like I understand, I get it,
Speaker 3: like explorable. They're both great people and Bailey's an amazing person.
Speaker 3: Susie is an amazing person. Like you know, he went
Speaker 3: on a great date with her as well, and I
Speaker 3: could see him cheesing ear to ear and he was like,
Speaker 3: that was this has been.
Speaker 2: My best day of Paradise I've ever had, like so far,
Speaker 2: and like he meant that you could see him.
Speaker 3: So I think he was really struggling with like did
Speaker 3: I make the wrong decision? And I think the words
Speaker 3: were a little strong, saying like I don't.
Speaker 2: Even want to win this challenge.
Speaker 3: But maybe he was just dealing with an internal emotion
Speaker 3: at the time, like I think I made the wrong
Speaker 3: decision and.
Speaker 2: Struggling with that.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 4: Do you think Bailey was aware at this time of
Speaker 4: how much he was struggling with Susie leaving.
Speaker 2: I don't think anyone was, aside from Dale and I
Speaker 2: at all.
Speaker 4: Okay, So this wasn't like an open dialogue that him
Speaker 4: and Bailey were having. This was like something he was
Speaker 4: dealing with internally and confiding in you guys privately.
Speaker 2: One percent.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So you know, the episode ends, it seems like
Speaker 4: you and Freezer in a good place. We don't know
Speaker 4: what's going to happen with Jeremy and Bailey, but what
Speaker 4: we do see in the teaser is that the format
Speaker 4: of Paradise is going to be changing in the upcoming episodes,
Speaker 4: and there is half a million dollars at play. Without
Speaker 4: giving too much away because obviously we haven't seen it yet,
Speaker 4: can you kind of tease what this does for your
Speaker 4: relationship and the rest of paradise.
Speaker 3: You can start with the relationship. Prees and I go
Speaker 3: through a lot of hives and a lot of lows,
Speaker 3: but it continues to build us, but a lot of
Speaker 3: highs and a lot of lows which.
Speaker 2: Bring us together in an interesting way.
Speaker 3: And the money situation becomes interesting because people begin to
Speaker 3: act very differently when money becomes into the situation.
Speaker 2: That's how it usually works. Nice.
