You are from Joey's season. Man, it's 0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:32.520 been a while, Joey has been a while. You were 0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:35.959 on Joey's season. Where are you now? Where do you live? 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:38.600 What's kind of been going on pre paradise. 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:41.560 Yeah, so I was on Joey's season and I came 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:44.360 back to Atlanta, which is where I'm still currently living. 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:47.400 And I came back to my corporate job. So nothing 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:50.240 too crazy in terms of changes, but I did start 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:52.840 a business which has been really exciting, and so I 0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:55.840 just quit my corporate job recently and I'm doing the business. 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:56.240 Full time now. 0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:59.720 So I've been traveling a lot, and yeah, it's kind 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:01.560 of been awind. I can't believe it's been as long 0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:04.800 as it has since the season. It's time is crazy 0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:05.440 right now. 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:07.600 What is the business? 0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:10.639 The dating business? So it's called in the Wild and 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:14.840 it's in person dating. So we do matchmaking in person 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:19.120 dating events FED dating, and yeah, it's been fun. We've there's, 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:20.919 you know, three couples that are engaged and we have 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:22.799 over one hundred couples that are dating and it's only 0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:25.800 been a year, so it's definitely working. But it was 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:27.840 fun to kind of get to play matchmaker on the 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:29.959 beach just since I've been doing that for the last year. 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:31.680 So that's crazy. 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:33.680 So what are some things that you look for when 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:35.200 you're trying to set people up? 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:37.040 You know, you try to look at the person as 0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:37.360 a whole. 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:39.639 I think so much is like list driven these days, 0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:41.480 like I want them to be this height, that they 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:42.880 want them to look like this, I want them to 0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:44.760 have this type of job. But I think if you 0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:46.920 strip some of that away, what I'm finding through all 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:49.720 of this is like in person people meet individuals and 0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:53.239 they're actually very surprised, like from a personality connection, like 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:55.040 they wouldn't have matched with them on a dating app. 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:56.640 But once they get talking to them in a room 0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:58.639 and you know, don't have like a checklist in front 0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:00.680 of them of like their height occupy all of that, 0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:03.520 they are more open minded to meeting different people. And 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:06.320 so I've definitely been trying to lean into that as well, 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:07.960 as you know, I was dating before the. 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:11.639 Show, seeing someone as the whole and not just a list. 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:18.200 Yeah, where could people find your website, your services? I 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:21.040 want to take advantage. And is it across the US? 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:21.919 Is it just Atlanta. 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:23.960 We're about to kick off a tour and so we're 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:27.480 going to be going to major cities across the US 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:30.560 and basically bringing this pop up activation there. You guys 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:33.799 can find us on Instagram, in the wild dating and TikTok, 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:36.000 and then our website as well, which is linked in 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:38.840 all of those social platforms. But yeah, we're excited to 0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:42.080 bring it to other cities like Charleston, Nashville, LA. 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:43.080 So it should be fun. 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:45.200 I love that. That is so fun. 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:48.680 Have you dated since Joey's season? 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:49.240 Yeah? 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:52.600 I dated someone briefly after Joey's season, and you know, 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:54.520 a good guy, but just kind of not on the 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:56.640 same page that I was on. And I think I 0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:58.680 talked about that a lot on Joey's season what I'm 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:01.680 looking for, and so it's good experience. But I kind of, 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:03.360 you know, dated him right after the show, and then 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:05.040 I jumped right into building this business. 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:06.520 And so when Paradise came along. 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:08.760 I had a lot of mixed feelings about it, but 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:12.040 I hadn't dated in a little bit, and so it was, yeah, 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:13.680 we'll talk about that more, I'm sure, but it was 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:15.600 definitely a different as a stretch for me. 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:18.440 Yeah, I was thinking about you the other day because 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:19.919 I knew we were probably going to have you on 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:23.279 the podcast, and one of my girlfriends called me and 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:27.560 is getting the surgery done to see if she has endometriosis. 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:29.680 How are you doing with all of that? 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:32.840 It's been, you know, transparently, it's every day it has 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:35.800 its own challenges. I'm coming up on having another surgery 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:37.680 at the end of the summer, and so before that, 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:40.000 I'll have to freeze my eggs one more time. I 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.200 froze them right before I went on Joey's season, and so, 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:46.039 you know, I know, is a systemic disease with no cure, 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:48.599 and so unfortunately, you know it ebbs and flows definitely 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:51.680 have worse weeks than others. But luckily I have an 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:54.320 amazing team of doctors and hopefully eventually, you know, a 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:56.840 supportive partner and my eggs are frozen and we can 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:58.680 you know, come up with a plan that's best for 0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:00.480 our family, but. 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:01.960 Yeah, thank you for asking. 0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:04.279 It's it's just a part of me at this point, 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:07.560 not going anywhere, but I'm trying my best to stay positive. 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:11.760 Did it impact your experience filming Paradise in any way? 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:15.159 Yeah, I think it was the second day and time 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:17.760 there is obviously, you know, everything feels like you're living 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:20.680 ten days in one and on the second day I 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:23.040 had a really bad flare, and so I just like, 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:25.359 for some reason, on Joey's season it was a little 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:28.200 like easier because I could wear like, you know, a 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:30.680 flowy dress, but we were on the beach and bikinis, 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:33.400 so you know, I was like kind of dying inside 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:35.080 because I mean, obviously all the girls are in such 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:37.080 good shape and then I'm over here like I looked 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:39.520 like eight months pregnant. Obviously out of my control. It 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:42.400 was an endo flare. Great doctors on the show. I've 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:44.440 always had such a good experience. They take such good 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:47.839 care of me. But it did feel in a bathing suit. 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:50.240 I was like, this is worst case scenario, but out 0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:50.960 of my control. 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:53.359 Yeah, no, that totally makes sense. 0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:59.479 So you get the call for Paradise, where's your head at? 0:05:59.960 --> 0:06:03.559 You an instant Yes, we're what are you thinking? 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:04.120 No. 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:06.440 I think I was an instant no at first. 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:08.599 And I think a lot of people when they found out, 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:10.440 you know, when they dropped the cast, were surprised, and 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:12.800 I was like, I was surprised too. I think when 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:15.240 I first heard about it, or you know, got that 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:18.039 invitation from from production, it was I don't know if 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:20.320 it's the best fit for me, just because of, you know, 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:22.800 exactly the reason why I left Joey's season. What I'm 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:25.599 looking for, Like, are these guys truly ready for that? 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:27.880 And then you don't know who the guys are ahead 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:30.280 of time, and so I wasn't sure there would be 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.559 someone there that was, you know, maybe a little older 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:34.080 and more ready for that next step. 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:35.159 You know, who knows. 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:36.920 I'm sure a lot of the guys, depending on their age, 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:40.000 could be ready for different things. But and I also 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:42.680 am just not an aggressive personality, and so I was like, 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:44.760 I don't even know if I'll do well there, because 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:47.599 if someone's fighting over a guy, I would just be like, 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:49.400 you know, you can have them, like I just I 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:51.960 couldn't even It would just give me anxiety. So at 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:53.560 first I was like, I don't think it's for me. 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:54.800 So that's kind of where we started. 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:58.440 Did you watch Bachelor and Paradise going into this? 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:01.200 I have not seen it in so long. 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:03.960 I have not seen it since like Hannah and Dylan's 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:08.960 like season, and so I know Paradise, but I had 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:10.600 not watched it in a year, so I felt like 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:12.640 I was a little behind. But then they kept saying 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:14.920 this season was going to be so different and so 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:16.840 id they were like kind of scrap everything you know 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:18.160 about it before, and so that. 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:19.040 Made me feel a little better. 0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:21.920 Yeah, so what were your initial thoughts when you got 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:24.600 there and everything was very different. 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:27.160 They kept saying there's going to be these challenges, and 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:28.640 I was so nervous we were going to be on 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:30.400 like wipeout or something. I was like, I am not 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:34.080 like prepared for survivor like wrong, wrong contestant. 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:35.360 But once I got. 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:36.560 There, I mean, it was such a It's such a 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:39.480 beautiful resort, like truly really, you know, they upgraded, they 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:41.920 have air conditioning, which I'm sure you guys probably are. 0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:43.880 Jealous that you didn't have air conditioning. 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:46.240 I heard from like Kat who had done Paradise before 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:50.120 that this was infinitely nicer. And so I'm in the 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:51.840 beach is the beach, but I was grateful to have 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:54.760 air conditioning and the goldens. You know, knowing they were 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:57.200 coming was fun and having handed there was like a 0:07:57.240 --> 0:08:01.120 really nice mix up. So it was positive like energy 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:04.000 walking into it. For sure, it felt very fresh. 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:09.400 When you guys got to Costa Rica, did you I'm 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:10.960 like kind of breaking the fourth wall with this question, 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:12.640 but like you obviously stay in a room for a 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:14.640 few days before they send you down. Did you stay 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:16.520 at that hotel or did you stay somewhere else and 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:17.480 they brought you onto set? 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.360 Say, somewhere else and they brought us onto set. The 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:22.400 other hotel was it was very close. I mean it 0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:24.600 was a less than a ten minute drive, but you 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:28.160 are in isolation until you get called down to the beach. 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:29.960 And when you do get called down, you don't know 0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:32.400 if people have been there for you know, days, one 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:33.200 day hours. 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:34.640 So same as I. 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:37.120 Guess before, were you at all worried that you may 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:39.960 not be original cast, that they could drop you? 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:43.640 I did, yeah, and I expressed those concerns to production, 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:45.680 And it was mostly I wasn't trying to be like 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:47.720 I want to be there first. It was really because 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:51.040 of one my personality being a little bit more like mellow. 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:51.800 I was nervous. 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:54.120 I'm not I'm not the bombshell, like, don't bring me 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:56.240 in later, it will I just would. I don't think 0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:59.000 I would do well on that, and so they kind 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:01.160 of reassured me that I would. They're early on to 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:03.720 be able to establish a connection, so I was like, okay, 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:06.120 maybe one first day, second day, but I've heard in 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.160 the past they bring in people so much later, so 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:08.800 you never know. 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:10.960 Yeah, and that's totally fair. 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:13.960 I think anyone going on the show that's like really 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:17.839 serious about finding a genuine connection, the earlier the better. 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:18.600 I mean, that's no. 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:23.440 Secret, totally Okay, So you get down there, you were 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:26.800 kind of down there earlier in the day for sure. 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:27.640 Early. 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:30.880 What are your original thoughts, what are those first conversations? 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:33.840 Like, Yeah, it was so hot, that was my first thought. 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:36.600 I was like, how does everyone look good on this show? 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:38.600 Like I just could not stop thinking about this wedding. 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:41.400 But it was you know, we walked in. There's two 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:45.000 other people there, Spencer and Alex. Spencer from Gen season, 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:48.160 Alex from Grant season. I had known Spencer like just 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:51.079 through you know, social media before this, and he's such 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:53.600 just a great guy, and Alex was so vibrant, like 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:55.800 very energetic, so it was really good energy when we 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:58.000 walked in. But I think it was we were all 0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:00.200 just waiting to see who was coming down next, So it. 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:01.480 Was kind of just like a waiting game. 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:04.000 And I think at that point, like Wells wasn't there, 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:06.400 Hannah definitely wasn't there, so we were all just kind 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:08.240 of like scoping it out. We didn't know if the 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:10.720 Goldens were coming that day, like, we didn't know anything. 0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:21.400 So going down, obviously we see you kind of form 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:25.400 a connection with Justin, But who were kind of the 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:28.880 guys that you were looking to talk to are interested in? 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:32.360 Yeah, so I didn't have a specific name, but I 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:34.480 definitely wanted someone who was a little bit older and 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:37.520 maybe someone that I hadn't met before. And there was 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:39.680 a guy down there at Kyle, and I was really 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:41.480 excited because I didn't know who he was. I didn't 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:43.160 know what season he came from, so it was just 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:46.520 like very intriguing to get to know him better. But 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:48.560 otherwise I think I knew all of the guys at 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:50.440 least from social media besides Kyle. 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:53.800 Okay, yeah, that's interesting. We asked just that too. 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:55.280 We're just trying to get a vibe on like how 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:57.760 well everyone knew each other going in, because I feel 0:10:57.760 --> 0:10:59.400 like it's different every season. 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:02.360 Totally, which I think was good this season that it 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:04.680 was more like we kind of know of each other, 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:07.640 but we all don't really know each other. Yeah. Always, 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:10.839 that's always better. I think one of the past few seasons, 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:12.520 it just seemed like everyone like. 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:13.600 Had met and been. 0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:17.280 It was like the stage coach thing, right, Like I 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:18.520 didn't go to stage Coach this. 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:24.240 Year, so yeah, it was probably for the best. So 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:27.320 down there the first day, all the cast is there. 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:29.080 Who are the people that you're closest with. 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:32.559 I'm really close to Jess, She's from my season. She's amazing, 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:35.800 And I think that was from a girl perspective. She 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:38.040 was the only one that I knew from from my season. 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:40.280 But I really started to get close to Bailey and 0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:42.880 Zoe and Alex and so so nice having them there. 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:45.559 And Jonathan I had talked to on social media a 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:47.520 little bit before, and so it felt like kind of 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:50.400 talking to a friend. So I think at first we 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:52.319 were all like kind of grouped together and then people 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:55.440 started to pair off. But it was nice to have 0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:57.719 some familiar faces, so we made it a little more comfortable. 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:01.040 Was there a romantic spark at all with you and Jonathan? 0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:03.680 Ever, No, you know, I never got to explore it. 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:06.760 I that first day was so chaotic just with you know, 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:08.960 getting to know everyone, and then I got that one 0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:10.520 on one on the first day, and then it got 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:12.920 rained out and so they swiftly bring you to your 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:15.120 room and you got to get ready and hurry, hurry, hurry, 0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:17.240 And so I actually ended up waiting in the room 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:20.400 for like five and a half hours because every time 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:23.440 I think, they had to wait, wait, wait, And so 0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:25.480 I missed those five and a half hours. Where I 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:27.720 was in the room was when everyone else was like 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:31.840 mixing and mingling, and so Jonathan and I never really 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:34.040 had a chance to go deeper that first day, which 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:36.760 was now I'm starting to learn, like in Paradise, day 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:39.840 one is so critical, So I kind of missed that. 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:41.600 God that's such a bummer. 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:44.120 I mean, like that is just how it goes with 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:47.000 the rain obviously, but it probably sucks because you're like 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:50.120 I can't even hang it with Justin. I can't even 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:51.760 like get to know all these people and like them. 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:54.319 By the time day two hits and you've been chilling 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:57.080 in your room against your will. Everyone's a little more 0:12:57.080 --> 0:12:58.600 coupled up totally. 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:00.520 And then the thing about day two, it was we 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:03.319 had the makeup date, so like all the whole night 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:05.800 when I'm in my room in isolation, and then day 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:07.960 two we went on our day date to make up 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:09.920 the date from the night prior that got rained out, 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:12.160 So I missed a lot of that early time. 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:14.240 You must have been like, thank god I have a 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:16.480 rose this week, because at least I know I've got 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:18.640 you know that next week to have more time. 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:19.560 Totally. 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:21.400 Yeah, I was. I was when we found out that 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:23.199 the woman had the roses. First, I was so happy 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:25.000 for a lot of reasons. But when the timing shook 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:27.160 out with like my date being canceled and rescheduled, I 0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:29.160 was like, thank god, otherwise I'd be freaking out. I 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:30.920 was like, I don't know who I get a rose from? 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:33.920 Yeah, did you know? So justin comes to your room 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:37.960 AND's like, hey, bad news, dates canceled? Do you already 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:40.520 do you guys already know that it's going to be rescheduled? Like, 0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:41.200 oh not? 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:43.240 At that point, I was actually the whole thing was 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:45.040 so crazy because I was in my room for so long, 0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:47.599 I actually fell asleep, And so when he knocked it 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:49.480 fully in a dress, like full makeup, you. 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:50.000 Know, ready it again. 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:51.320 So when he knocked on the door, I thought I 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:54.160 was production or a handler, and it was him. He 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:55.760 was like, you know, we'll try to figure something out 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:57.680 for tomorrow, but we had no clue if we were 0:13:57.720 --> 0:13:58.679 going to be able to make it up. 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:00.319 Just with filming and the schedule being so. 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:04.040 Tight, was any part of you like, I'm on the Bachelor, 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:06.920 why do we not have a rain plan? Like we're 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:08.800 at a hotel, Like couldn't we go to dinner? Or 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:11.200 was it just like so late by the time they 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:12.760 made the call, it was. 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:15.400 So late, you know, new season, new vibes, new cameras, 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:18.240 like it's so many elevated points with that, but also 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:21.080 comes with pain points like I think that, yes, I'm 0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:22.560 sure it would be nice to have a plan, being 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:23.360 a rain plan, but I. 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:25.160 Don't think anyone anticipated these storms. 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:28.120 I mean they were insane, like I've never seen anything 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:31.280 like it. So I and then the staff, the you know, 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:33.520 camera crew had been working so late. It was midnight 0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:36.160 at that point. So even if I if I went 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:37.520 on the date, I'd be exhausted. 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:40.160 Ye want to know that makes sense? 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:41.080 I can. 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:43.920 It was like our first date was it raining? It 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:47.080 wasn't raining, but we were both sick and it was late, Like. 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:50.160 Yeah, I was like running out of our shuttle to 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:51.920 like go throw up before our. 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:53.640 First day and it was like late too in the 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:54.760 week we had to like wrestle. 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:58.080 It was like, yeah, it was. 0:14:57.840 --> 0:14:58.000 It was. 0:14:58.520 --> 0:14:59.720 It was not sexy. 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:02.080 I'll tell me about that, but it makes sense. They're 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:05.120 probably waiting being like, Okay, you know it's gonna let up. 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:06.640 It's gonna let up. It's going to let up, and 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:08.200 then all of a sudden it's midnight. It's like, well, 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:09.680 I guess you're on a bed. How did you feel though, 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:10.680 were you really disappointed? 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:15.400 I was disappointed because I wish that we had been 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:17.560 able to wait with the rest of the cast outside 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:18.520 and not in our rooms. 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:20.600 I felt like I lost a lot of time. 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:22.760 And then as a girl, like I was like I 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:25.840 got all ready, you know, it's just in especially the beach, 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:27.560 I was like I had cool hair and I had to, 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:29.440 you know, do the whole thing. And so it's such 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:32.720 first world problems. But I also wanted to spend time 0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:34.920 with Justin. I was excited at that point. I was like, 0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:37.000 oh my god, the first one on one of Paradise, 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:39.920 Like how fun, you know, and especially you're in isolation 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:42.040 for so long. I was like, let's go do something 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:44.160 like I wanted to do an activity. I was like 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:47.160 ald zip line. I anyways, so it's okay. We made 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:48.200 up the date the next day. 0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:51.400 Yeah, tell us about how the date actually ended up 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:52.200 going once you had it. 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:52.960 Yeah. 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:55.440 So he had talked to Hannah and was like, hey, 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:58.600 you know, explain the situation, and she they like brainstormed 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:00.960 and created this little day date went and like sat 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:03.160 on a bench, got to talk a little bit, ate 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:06.320 some lunch, and then we swam. So I think Justin 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:08.760 was like so disappointed because he's like, this is so lame. 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:12.040 We could have done this like at the Paradise set. 0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:15.160 But it was nice to have the uninterrupted time and 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:18.480 you know, being removed from the cast. But like the timeline, 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:20.520
