Speaker 2: going to be on c W. I want to know

21
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,559
Speaker 2: what your reaction was when you first met Alan Gale,

22
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 2: who officiated my wedding and was a father of the

23
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 2: Bachelor franchise for so long.

24
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 4: Well, I'd never got to work with him, you know. Yeah.

25
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 4: By the time I had my experience, well on Bachelor,

26
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 4: I should say.

27
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yes, yes, yes, okay, ye yeah.

28
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 4: But I'd heard so many great things about him, and

29
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 4: so when the opportunity came for the show, and his

30
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 4: name obviously being like the mastermind behind it, I already

31
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 4: had a feeling like it was going to be a

32
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 4: really good match meeting him though everything everyone has ever

33
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 4: said about him is true. He's amazing, He's a genius.

34
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 4: He tells you ideas and you're just like, this is

35
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 4: why you are doing what you're doing.

36
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 3: Yeah.

37
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, So he was great. I love him. We're very

38
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 4: close today, like we've been in constant contact even after

39
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 4: the show, and I mean, he's going to be in

40
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 4: my life forever for sure.

41
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 5: I when I saw that you were going on f

42
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 5: Boy Island, and obviously Alon was around when I was

43
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 5: on the show, I immediately my first thought was like, those

44
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 5: two are a good duo, Like you two could work

45
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 5: really well together, and I kind of wanted to go

46
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 5: in and we don't have to, you know, obviously your

47
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 5: time on the Bachelorette is not something we're here to

48
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 5: talk about. We're here to talk about Foy Island. But

49
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 5: I think if you think back on your time as

50
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 5: a bachelorette and you would have had an Alan there.

51
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 5: Who let's be honest, right, Alan does share a lot

52
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 5: of opinions. He has a lot of thoughts. He is

53
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 5: much more I would say, vocal about what he thinks

54
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 5: you should be doing and what he thinks would be

55
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 5: really good. Sometimes that rubs people the wrong way. Sometimes

56
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 5: you're like, no, that's a crazy thought. I would never

57
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 5: do that myself. Do you think you would have appreciated

58
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 5: having him there or do you think it would have

59
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 5: annoyed you in that season of life?

60
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 4: Oh, it would have been a better experience, you know.

61
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 4: And what I went through without him being there? And

62
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 4: what now I know he's like if he had been there.

63
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 4: You know, he definitely has that human element of like,

64
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 4: here's my thoughts, now, tell me what your thoughts are

65
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,559
Speaker 4: about that. It was just like it, oh, dialogue ongoing

66
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 4: on how to make great TV? Fine love, you know,

67
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 4: Like there was just so much transparency and that's something

68
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 4: I really respect from him versus you know, other experiences

69
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 4: are a little like everyone's trying to like make you

70
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 4: a little bit bit of a puppet. It's like no, no,

71
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,679
Speaker 4: just tell me what you want and like, let's work

72
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 4: together and make something great happen.

73
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, give me, give me the clarity.

74
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 5: I think that's one of the big things that I

75
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 5: felt was at least I had the clarity and I

76
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 5: felt like I had the position to say, no, man,

77
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 5: you're crazy. I'm not doing that. I don't think that's

78
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 5: right at all. And at least the conversation existed. And

79
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 5: maybe that was part of his strategy, because every time

80
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 5: you just get worn down and you're like, yeah, I'll

81
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 5: do whatever you say. But you know, before we dive

82
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 5: into f Boy Island, you do have a career right

83
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 5: now in improv. You have been doing stand up. I

84
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 5: have done that once in my life. I think it

85
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 5: was the hardest thing I've ever done. I never want

86
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 5: to do it again because.

87
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 3: I wants to do it so badly.

88
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 5: I was sweating all over in places I didn't know

89
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 5: I could sweat. I was sick to my stonfe make

90
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 5: it the green room behind it, it was a It

91
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 5: was an open mic. Night was chaotic because you have

92
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 5: people getting sick from being nervous, you have people super

93
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 5: chilled out being like this is just great. And then

94
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 5: you had me just in the corner like shaking, like

95
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 5: I don't want to do it. Katie, what made you

96
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 5: step into that? And kind of how's it going? Give

97
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 5: us a quick update?

98
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, first of all, Jared should definitely give it

99
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 4: a shot, because you never know until you do it.

100
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 4: You have either a Ben who's like I tried it,

101
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 4: never again or myself who when I did my first

102
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 4: open mic, same vibe, I was like, I don't know,

103
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 4: and then did it. I watched the tape back I

104
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 4: was like, hell, yeah, I got this.

105
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 3: You did.

106
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 2: You do have a set written out?

107
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, So when I did my very first open mic,

108
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 4: it's three minutes, which is so obtainable, right, And so

109
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 4: I kept chickening out and then finally I was just

110
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 4: telling you. I'm like, I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna

111
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 4: do I'm gonna do it. Kind of hold myself accountable

112
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 4: by like announcing it. You know, like once you put

113
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 4: it out in the world, you look like a little

114
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 4: chicken when you like back out. So I'm like, well,

115
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 4: everyone knows I'm gonna do it, so I might as

116
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 4: well go all in. So, yeah, I had practice a

117
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 4: little bit of a three month the set, but you

118
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 4: really don't know what it's like until you're on stage.

119
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 4: And so when I was on stage, I felt like

120
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 4: I blinked and it was over. But then when I

121
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 4: watched the video back that my friend recorded, I was like, oh,

122
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 4: I think I got this. And so it's been a

123
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 4: year now of doing stand up, both with either open

124
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 4: mics or big shows with big names, and it's just

125
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 4: been so much fun.

126
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 3: That's awesome.

127
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 2: Can you give us a joke right now?

128
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 3: You know?

129
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 4: Literally, men will say that when they find out you're

130
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 4: a comic, They're like, Oh, tell me something funny, and

131
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 4: then I just look at them and I say men,

132
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 4: and then I just want I usually, you know, shut

133
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 4: a lot of guys up when they do that.

134
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 5: So I think that's the thing with with stand up ash.

135
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 5: You know, when I was preparing for it and I

136
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 5: wanted to give it a shot, was like, it's there

137
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 5: is such a different kind of mind space that I

138
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 5: had to get into to go up on the stage

139
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 5: and to share what I was wanting to share and

140
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 5: to see if it would work and react to. I mean,

141
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 5: I had I had jokes or segments that got no

142
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 5: last I had some that got a ton of laughs,

143
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 5: and I think Actually I found it more funny once

144
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 5: I was up there at the ones that I wasn't

145
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 5: getting laughs at because it was so awkward, and the

146
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 5: awkwardness makes people laugh, and that was fine for me.

147
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 3: I was good with it. Okay, So, Katie, My first

148
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 3: thought on f Boy Island.

149
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 5: Obviously we've mentioned that we're supporters of Alan tuned in

150
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 5: to the first season. What happens if one of the

151
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 5: three of you just want an f boy? Like, is

152
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 5: that an option or are you all agreeing to look

153
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 5: for the nice guy?

154
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 4: Yeah?

155
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 2: Like, you're not there to really find love, are you.

156
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 4: I mean with this show, it's very different because there's

157
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 4: there's multiple levels to it. There's one hundred thousand dollars

158
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 4: on the line. There's also the dating element, so it's

159
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 4: kind of like a win win, like, hopefully maybe I

160
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 4: win some money, maybe I find love, maybe a boyfriend.

161
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 4: You know, we all kind of had different goals. The

162
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 4: perk of looking for a nice guy is it's an

163
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 4: automatic split of the one hundred thousand dollars with them,

164
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 4: So in some degree you hope you fall for a

165
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 4: nice But the thing is, we don't know who that

166
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 4: is yet. So once we've already developed feelings and a

167
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 4: relationship with someone. Towards the end is the reveal of

168
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 4: who is an F boy who's a nice guy? And

169
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 4: sometimes you're just stuck with maybe all F boys and

170
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 4: like you have to just hope that maybe they're what

171
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 4: we call reformed and will choose to walk away with

172
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 4: you and the money at the end, or are they

173
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 4: just the ultimate F boy and they take one hundred

174
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 4: thousand dollars and leave you heartbroken and broke.

175
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 5: The For those who haven't seen the show, do these

176
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 5: guys know what category they're in or is this a

177
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 5: surprise to them?

178
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 4: So every guy comes in with their own definition of

179
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 4: what they think is a nice guy or an F boy,

180
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 4: So you're not like assigned a category. People have their

181
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 4: different reasons for, you know, self labeling themselves is what

182
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 4: they are. You know, I will hint that there was

183
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 4: one nice guy who we will all agree was not

184
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 4: so much of a nice guy. So just because they

185
00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 4: label themselves something doesn't mean like that's really who they are.

186
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm not going to have you call out any

187
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 2: of your bachelor exes directly, but we know that you've

188
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 2: dated Matt James Blake Wins and then your boyfriend that

189
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 2: you met on your season, John, that you ended up

190
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 2: dating in real.

191
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 3: Life, but you were no longer with.

192
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 2: Of the three of those guys, is there an f

193
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 2: boy amongst them?

194
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 4: I will say this, I do think I tend to

195
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 4: date nice guys, and I would say all three of

196
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 4: those are nice guys. And then in my experience on

197
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 4: this show, I thought I was going to be really

198
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 4: good at picking out who the nice guys are because

199
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 4: that's the type that I date. I was very very

200
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 4: wrong in truth.

201
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 3: Was that a surprise to yourself? Were you?

202
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 5: I mean kind of what's your emotions? Is that as

203
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 5: you walk through this process? Were you frustrated with yourself? Surprised?

204
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 4: I mean overall, I was happy with my experience and

205
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,559
Speaker 4: learning about myself and getting to watch these men kind

206
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 4: of navigate their experience as well. But there was at

207
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 4: least one situation that left me very frustrated because it

208
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 4: was very much like a blindside.

209
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 3: I'll say that M something to tune into.

210
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 5: Now, Katie, you obviously have been in the spotlight, you

211
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 5: were the Bachelorette, You've gone on to stand on stages.

212
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 5: You're correct me If I'm wrong, tell me that if

213
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 5: I'm far off, your experience on reality television up to

214
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 5: let's say six months ago was maybe not a positive one. Like,

215
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 5: it wasn't one that you would say, yes, this was

216
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 5: the best season of my life. You know, there's good

217
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 5: things that came from it, but you know you you

218
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 5: weren't exactly like seeking to get back onto the Bachelorette

219
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 5: to be the bachelorret at.

220
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 3: A second time. What is it? Am I right or wrong?

221
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 2: Oh?

222
00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 4: Yeah? I mean I had a lot of emotion recovery

223
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 4: from my reality TV experiences and I didn't have it,

224
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 4: you know, in the front of my mind to ever

225
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 4: really go on reality TV again. So when I got

226
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 4: the call actually for Bachelor in Paradise and for f

227
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 4: Boy Island this summer, it was just kind of like, well,

228
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 4: I guess, I guess I'm not done with reality TV.

229
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, so what like.

230
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 5: Give us a perspective to you personally then, like what

231
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 5: made you say yes to this stuff?

232
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 4: So for f Boy Island, I'd never seen the show,

233
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 4: so I had binge watched season two before agreeing to

234
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 4: do it and then seeing what it was about. Nicki Glazer,

235
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 4: who's a comic. She's the host alone he's the executive producer.

236
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 4: There was just all these positives behind the scenes and

237
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 4: what the show is about. That felt like maybe this

238
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 4: was going to be a better match for me and

239
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 4: my personality than what like traditional bachelorette is. You know,

240
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 4: it's very bachelor, it's very serious, which is great and

241
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 4: works for some people. I just think that's not a

242
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 4: good match for me, you know. So my experience in

243
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 4: doing f Boy Island was are silly and there's humor,

244
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 4: and there's comedians both on this on the cast and

245
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 4: behind the scenes, like it's just a big fun joke

246
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 4: that we're all in on it. It was just it was

247
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 4: just a much better experience. I'm really glad.

248
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 2: I said, yes, now you're with two other girls during

249
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 2: this whole process. It never seems to get catty between

250
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 2: the girls though, but what if you're like fighting over

251
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 2: the same guy because you are genuinely interested, Like, does

252
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 2: it give you bachelor and paradise vibes?

253
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 4: So we all talked about that we didn't really know

254
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 4: what to expect, but truly, with the exception of one person,

255
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 4: it all kind of organically worked itself out naturally. The

256
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 4: one guy that they were kind of both interested in

257
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 4: they talked about real quickly, like behind the scenes, it's

258
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 4: not even a moment for the show, and we're just like, yeah,

259
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 4: go for it. You know, I got a good group

260
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 4: of men here, so they're really for us. Wasn't that

261
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 4: opportunity to really fight over anybody or trade and it

262
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 4: just kind of worked out organically.

263
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 5: How does that make it different? And when they did

264
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 5: two bachelorettes, you think, is there a difference between them?

265
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I don't know how that worked for

266
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 4: the two bachelorettes. I can only speak from my own

267
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 4: bachelorette experience, and what I will say is on f

268
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 4: Boy Island, there's a lot of freedom to just exist

269
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 4: as you are, you know, like like I didn't get

270
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 4: interrupted a lot. There wasn't a lot of producer input,

271
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 4: like they're there, but like as nothing like there's just

272
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 4: they're not interrupting anything, you know. And so I think

273
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 4: that really allowed for organic connections to happen, whereas as

274
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 4: you guys know, with you know, the Bachelor, there is

275
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 4: a little bit more of like guidance for certain things

276
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 4: to happen or conversations or people to be talked to,

277
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 4: you know. So I think just by allowing us to

278
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 4: exist freely, allowed everything to just work out the way

279
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 4: it's supposed to.

280
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 5: What what happens Katie and I apologize, I don't know.

281
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 5: I know you go to Bachelor in Paradise. You just

282
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 5: mentioned it. We've seen the teasers. It's not a it's

283
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 5: not a spoiler. I don't know what capacity, like, I

284
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 5: don't know if it's in a Hannah Brown capacity and

285
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 5: you're you're just going down to you know, shakes things

286
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 5: up for a couple hours and you're like, yeah, I'm

287
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 5: just actually here a chill, or if you're actually going

288
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 5: as a contestant. Is that has that been released yet?

289
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 4: That hasn't been talked about. So yeah, you will have

290
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 4: to kind of tune in. I will say Paradise was

291
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 4: filmed first, so the timing of what ends up happening

292
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 4: on Paradise during filming, after filming, and then going on

293
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 4: to F Boy, which you know sometimes there are f girls.

294
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 4: I'll say that in short, you just got to tune

295
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 4: into both shows to kind of see what ends up happening.

296
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,479
Speaker 5: It's a big piece and that's like my my curiosity

297
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 5: is here. Let's just say, you know, we don't let's

298
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 5: just say, you go down to Paradise to date, you

299
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 5: find love. What happens then with your commitment to go

300
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 5: to F boy Island.

301
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 4: I mean, just because there's F boys doesn't mean they

302
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 4: can't be F girls.

303
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 3: So this is big. Wow, that's really big.

304
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 2: For some reason, seeing you walk down those steps in Paradise,

305
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 2: I never even contemplating, contemplated you being a contestant where

306
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 2: you actually totally can be what it just like was

307
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 2: ruled out in my head that you would ever go

308
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 2: down as a contestant. Okay, Wow, this is good, this

309
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 2: is juicy. Now, you haven't talked to Blake for two years,

310
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 2: he says, as you walk down the stairs, you gotta

311
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 2: tease us with how your first interaction was.

312
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 4: Okay. I was told when I was gonna see everybody,

313
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 4: everyone's going to be very excited and get up and

314
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 4: hug me. And so I went in with this like

315
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 4: mentality like I'm about to be so welcome. When I

316
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 4: walk down, obviously the first person I look for is Blake,

317
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 4: and he's looking at me like he saw a ghost.

318
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 4: And it feels like five minutes of nobody saying anything,

319
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 4: no one's getting up, Like I feel so uncomfortable, like

320
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 4: I will do open mic over and over again before

321
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 4: I ever had to experience entering the beach that way.

322
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel you. I did.

323
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 5: Were you nervous though, I mean, like, were you nervous

324
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 5: to see Blake again?

325
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 4: You know, so much time had passed. I was indifferent,

326
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 4: you know, I Blake's is very mature and despite how

327
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 4: things happened, you know, in the aftermath overall, like we were,

328
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 4: we were two happy people in love at one point,

329
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,239
Speaker 4: and so I was very optimistic that, you know, regardless

330
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 4: of his situation status on Paradise, that the conversation was

331
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 4: going to be a positive one and much needed, you know,

332
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 4: as we both navigate whatever happens next in our lives.

333
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 2: Now, I have to just say, as a bachelor detective here,

334
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 2: the bachelor contract would not have allowed you to go

335
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 2: down there and date in then do f Boy Island,

336
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 2: So you are not a contestant.

337
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 3: So this is you are not a contestant.

338
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 4: I mean, you're entitled to your thoughts. Just you have

339
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 4: to know as a as a former bachelorette, you do

340
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 4: have a little bit more power and what your trap

341
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 4: says and how you navigate that. So I am a

342
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 4: very smart business woman. I read my contracts, I negotiate

343
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 4: my contracts, and all I'm going to say is, obviously

344
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 4: I made it work out for me the way I

345
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 4: needed to that best was going to benefit my life,

346
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 4: my love life, and my bank account.

347
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 5: I'm not convince you're not a contestant me neither.

348
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 2: Now that response was epic.

349
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's I think it's very fair. Here

350
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 5: here's the wild part about all this, Katie. Let's just

351
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 5: say you were a contestant. You've spent the last I mean,

352
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 5: you spent all summer on television, like you were filming

353
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 5: all summer like this is you got to feel all

354
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 5: sorts of weird, right, Like that's a whole different reality

355
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 5: than the real world and sitting in your house with

356
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 5: a foster dog.

357
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, it was because the dust felt like it

358
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 4: was finally settling in my life. I was like, all right,

359
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 4: this is the next chapter of what I'm going to do.

360
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 4: And then these phone calls happen. I go, well, I

361
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 4: guess my summer is in front of the camera again.

362
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 3: So was that exciting?

363
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,199
Speaker 5: Like are you looking were you looking forward to that

364
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 5: or is this like like does it feel like intimidating

365
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 5: and nerve wracking.

366
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 4: You know, I did. I did my research with both opportunities,

367
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 4: Like I really didn't. I wasn't quick to be like, yes,

368
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 4: put me in front of that camera. You know. I

369
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 4: really made sure it made sense for me, for my

370
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 4: mental health, for everything that I worked so hard to find,

371
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,719
Speaker 4: you know, in this point in my life. And so

372
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 4: this year of reality TV has just for both shows,

373
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 4: has just been so much better than my past experiences,

374
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 4: and so I'm really glad to just leave on a

375
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 4: positive note with you know, both different like franchises, my

376
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 4: mental health, you know, coming off of it, and just

377
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 4: feeling just overall very good about my experiences.

378
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 2: So if you are dating in Paradise, who was on

379
00:17:58,160 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 2: your list that you wanted to see down there?

380
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,719
Speaker 4: That was the hard part because I haven't actually watched.

381
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 2: That was a hard part. So she had to do it.

382
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 4: I looked, you can do all you want, Ashley, but no,

383
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 4: but I really I haven't kept up with the show.

384
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 4: And so when I showed up there was a lot

385
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 4: of faces. I had no idea who they were. I

386
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 4: don't know where they a villain, are they a good guy?

387
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 4: Are they just a night one guy? I had no

388
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 4: idea who anybody was really.

389
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 2: Who was the hottest when you got down there.

390
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 4: I'll be so honest, there was this comfort in seeing

391
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 4: Blake again. It definitely stirred up some like things I

392
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 4: didn't know.

393
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 5: We're still there and he's kind of he's just looking good,

394
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 5: like we're all everybody talking about Blake two point zero

395
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 5: is doing all right for himself.

396
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 4: It's that breakup glow up that everybody goes through, and

397
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 4: you did it. So I was like, nice to see you.

398
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, so okay.

399
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 5: We had Wells on a few weeks ago, and as

400
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 5: we close out here with you, obviously f Boy Island

401
00:18:59,400 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 5: is coming up.

402
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 3: Prety should tune in.

403
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 5: There's just a lot of intrigue and it's a very

404
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 5: fun show to watch. I don't think the name fully

405
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 5: represents the show. I think there's a lot of really

406
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 5: good like moments too behind well that we get to

407
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 5: watch on television as well. But we had Wells on

408
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 5: a few weeks ago, and he had mentioned that there's

409
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 5: a unique dynamic when a lead a former league comes

410
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 5: onto the beach, and that you know, you have multiple

411
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 5: different ways of going about it. Once some of the

412
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 5: leads go down and they only care about everybody else

413
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 5: because they don't feel like they need to care about

414
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 5: themselves or really pursue relationships of selves. Some leads come

415
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 5: down and they kind of have this ego give or take,

416
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 5: you know, a little bit to say, hey, you know,

417
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 5: I was a lead and I'm coming back to the

418
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 5: paradise and you know, y'all you're gonna want me, because yeah,

419
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 5: at one point I was it. How would you best

420
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 5: describe kind of your feelings leading up to the beach?

421
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 4: I mean, I I definitely did not want to target

422
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 4: on my back, so I wanted to make sure I

423
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 4: was humble in my experience. Also, let's not forget two

424
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 4: guys quit my season, so I don't really have that

425
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 4: confidence as the bachelorette. I'm just Katie coming to the

426
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 4: beach and if you like me, great. If you don't,

427
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 4: well that's your loss. But no, I definitely want to

428
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 4: stay humble and just open and not have this like

429
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 4: entitlement when I was there.

430
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 3: Is it the same mentel you took on f Boy Island?

431
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 4: Even more so on f Boy Island because it's a

432
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 4: shared lead spot with two other women, and I was

433
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 4: very nervous that they would feel some kind of way

434
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 4: fun fact, they had no idea who I was, so

435
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 4: we didn't even have to deal with that. So we

436
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 4: really got to navigate our experience, you know, as three

437
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,719
Speaker 4: equal women dating these guys, and kind of every night

438
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 4: we kind of go through the list and like, you know,

439
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 4: mix around cards like this has to be an f boy,

440
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 4: this has to be a nice guy. And that was

441
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 4: kind of our like bonding moment every night after filming when.

442
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 3: You go down to Paradise.

443
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 2: I don't know that there's anybody from your season besides Blake,

444
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 2: But when you look back on your season, you did

445
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 2: date John after the fact, is there anybody else that

446
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 2: you were like, Oh, like I could revisit and date

447
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 2: that person, I'm thinking because Michael Alio is single. Your

448
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 2: take on all that.

449
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 4: I will say there definitely was a time where Michael

450
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,959
Speaker 4: was on my mind, but more like fresh in my

451
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 4: experiences and reflecting and watching back and just all of

452
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 4: that stuff. With all the time that has passed, I

453
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 4: do feel like I don't know him as who he

454
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 4: is today. You know, a lot of people go on

455
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 4: the show and come out a little different. A lot

456
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 4: of people go on the show and it's a heightened

457
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 4: version of themselves. But then you get to kind of

458
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 4: see them on social media and you're like, oh, that's

459
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 4: a little different, you know. So there definitely was a

460
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 4: time where Michael was on my mind, but I can

461
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 4: say pretty confidently that that would never be experienced again.

462
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 5: Well, Katie, we got to let you go, but we

463
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 5: do want to remind everybody tune in the f Boy Island.

464
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 5: Katie is going to be one of the three women

465
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 5: walking through the experience.

466
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 3: What do you call them?

467
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 5: What do you call yourselves as the kind of leads
