WEBVTT - So Unserious with She’s All Bach

0:00:00.760 --> 0:00:03.800
<v Speaker 1>This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast

0:00:03.840 --> 0:00:04.640
<v Speaker 1>with iHeartRadio.

0:00:05.800 --> 0:00:09.479
<v Speaker 2>Hey guys, welcome to another episode of the Almost Famous podcast.

0:00:09.480 --> 0:00:13.800
<v Speaker 2>Today's a girl talk podcast. I have Stephanie and Jackie

0:00:13.880 --> 0:00:17.599
<v Speaker 2>from the She's All Batch podcast. They're the two hosts

0:00:17.680 --> 0:00:21.079
<v Speaker 2>who I feel like do the juicy scoop when it

0:00:21.120 --> 0:00:24.159
<v Speaker 2>comes to the Bachelor. You guys always get me with

0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:27.640
<v Speaker 2>your teases. Your your social media teases are so good

0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:31.320
<v Speaker 2>and I love this. I love this. You guys are

0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:34.519
<v Speaker 2>not afraid to say certain things because you have no

0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:37.600
<v Speaker 2>ties to the Bachelor franchise. You don't have to be

0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:40.320
<v Speaker 2>on your best behavior. You don't have to meet people

0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:43.760
<v Speaker 2>if you don't want to ever meet them, You can

0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:46.720
<v Speaker 2>literally talk all the shit you want. Yeah.

0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:50.120
<v Speaker 3>True, we're very unfiltered in that way. It's such an

0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:52.280
<v Speaker 3>honor to hear that. You think we get like such

0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:55.320
<v Speaker 3>juicy clips and interviews and stuff. That's what we have

0:00:55.400 --> 0:01:00.400
<v Speaker 3>been trying to do over the years. But yeah, we agreed.

0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:02.280
<v Speaker 3>We sometimes can say whatever we want because we don't

0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:04.680
<v Speaker 3>have to meet these people. The problem comes in sometimes

0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:07.480
<v Speaker 3>when then we do and they're like you said about

0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:09.640
<v Speaker 3>me on this podcast, this is this that I'm like, Oh,

0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 3>my god, I'm sorry, I forgot that sometimes Bachelor people

0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:13.319
<v Speaker 3>also then listen.

0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:16.920
<v Speaker 4>Now, I will say we do like to obviously be

0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 4>fair and like we try to obviously keep that in mind,

0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:23.080
<v Speaker 4>and we always tell our listeners too, like, this is

0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:24.720
<v Speaker 4>about an edit on a TV show.

0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:25.760
<v Speaker 5>It is a tiaving show.

0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:27.640
<v Speaker 4>At the end of the day, we almost talk about

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:32.120
<v Speaker 4>it like characters, because it is characters. They're not, you know,

0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:35.039
<v Speaker 4>we're watching a scripted not a scripted TV show, but

0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:38.520
<v Speaker 4>an edited TV show obviously, so we we like to

0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:39.319
<v Speaker 4>keep that in mind.

0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:42.679
<v Speaker 2>All right, So we want to talk about Bachelor on

0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:46.240
<v Speaker 2>a macro level on this podcast, basically talk about all

0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:50.160
<v Speaker 2>the things that Ben and I pepper into episodes throughout

0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:54.160
<v Speaker 2>the year. Right, I think the number one question is

0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:59.360
<v Speaker 2>when did the show go awry? Why did it get

0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:03.600
<v Speaker 2>off the hinge after it seemed to be recovering after

0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:06.080
<v Speaker 2>Joey's season. After Joey's season was like, we are back

0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:09.120
<v Speaker 2>on track, we are a great show. There are tiktoks

0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:12.120
<v Speaker 2>and memes being made about the Bachelor, how hot and

0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:15.360
<v Speaker 2>charming he is, and now all of a sudden, we

0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:20.480
<v Speaker 2>cancel Bachelorette for the season because you don't have enough

0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 2>spark in the franchise. What's going on in your opinions?

0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:27.279
<v Speaker 3>What is going on? Maybe you know more than us, No.

0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:28.839
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, I talk about this all the time.

0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:30.919
<v Speaker 2>I need to know from the outsider perspective.

0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:34.800
<v Speaker 3>Well, but wasn't there some deadline article that, Yeah, the

0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:36.960
<v Speaker 3>reason why Bachelot actually isn't coming back is because there

0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:40.400
<v Speaker 3>was drama with producers and stuff and that they weren't

0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:43.120
<v Speaker 3>able to kind of agree on like a vision.

0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:46.720
<v Speaker 2>Yes, there seems to be that. Yeah, it seems to

0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:49.720
<v Speaker 2>be more about casting than it was about ratings.

0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:54.760
<v Speaker 4>We heard your tea about the Rachel, Rekia and Maria.

0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:59.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, what's interesting about the Rachel thing is Rachel texted

0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:02.480
<v Speaker 2>after that podcast and she goes, I didn't hear from

0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:06.720
<v Speaker 2>them whatsoever, So that may have been behind the scenes rumblings,

0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:10.400
<v Speaker 2>like as in the producers were considering her, but she

0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:14.360
<v Speaker 2>didn't get the word yet because like they weren't agreeing.

0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:18.720
<v Speaker 4>Interesting, my take is that, like, I'm really excited that

0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:21.880
<v Speaker 4>they're shaking up Bachelor in Paradise, with Jesse saying that

0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:24.080
<v Speaker 4>in two weeks they're going to let us know like

0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.160
<v Speaker 4>what they're really doing with Bachelor in paradise and how

0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:28.720
<v Speaker 4>it's going to be different. I do think it's time

0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:31.120
<v Speaker 4>for them to shake up this model. And I think

0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:33.800
<v Speaker 4>the only reason why they didn't say it about the

0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 4>Bachelor two is because The Bachelor's currently airing and we're

0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:39.040
<v Speaker 4>not going to get another Bachelor season until next year,

0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:41.520
<v Speaker 4>and I think by that point maybe they will have

0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:42.440
<v Speaker 4>made some changes.

0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:44.720
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know.

0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:46.800
<v Speaker 4>I think that could be they want to make some

0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:49.040
<v Speaker 4>changes behind the scenes, and in order to do so,

0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:51.240
<v Speaker 4>they maybe need to take a season off to like,

0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:53.040
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, higher different people.

0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:56.320
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, get in a boardroom and figure out what the

0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:59.200
<v Speaker 5>hell they're going to do. But we'll see.

0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:02.360
<v Speaker 4>I'm excited for I do think after all this time,

0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:04.360
<v Speaker 4>we may need to shake things up a little bit.

0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:06.720
<v Speaker 2>And what does that mean to you? Do you have

0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:08.440
<v Speaker 2>suggestions to me?

0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:10.920
<v Speaker 3>At least I feel like and I feel like we

0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:12.880
<v Speaker 3>talk about this a lot too, like the audience has.

0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:14.040
<v Speaker 2>We've all been.

0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:16.680
<v Speaker 3>Watching reality TV now for years and years and years.

0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:19.719
<v Speaker 3>I think the audience gets a lot smarter about some

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:22.560
<v Speaker 3>of the classic tropes of like some frank and biting

0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:24.560
<v Speaker 3>or some editing, and we're we always talk on our

0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:26.480
<v Speaker 3>podcast and we try to make sure we're like, Okay,

0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:28.440
<v Speaker 3>this person said this to this person, but did you

0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:30.799
<v Speaker 3>really see them in a two shot? Like what's actually

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:33.120
<v Speaker 3>going on? And I feel like the past few seasons

0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:38.320
<v Speaker 3>they lean in a lot to this very forced, manipulated drama,

0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:40.440
<v Speaker 3>and I think it would actually be a better experience

0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:43.280
<v Speaker 3>if we acknowledge, like, hey, the audience is smart, they

0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:44.880
<v Speaker 3>know what's going on, like break the fourth wall a

0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:49.120
<v Speaker 3>little bit and kind of let actual genuine drama unfold. Sorry, Stephanie,

0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:51.320
<v Speaker 3>I interrupted you there. What were you gonna say? Now?

0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:53.560
<v Speaker 4>That honestly a lot of that, But like it is

0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:55.880
<v Speaker 4>twenty twenty five, and I feel like they're not really

0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:57.760
<v Speaker 4>adapting to the current times.

0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:00.040
<v Speaker 5>I do think breaking the fourth wall would hell.

0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:02.159
<v Speaker 2>Love to break the fourth wall. Those are the most

0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:03.520
<v Speaker 2>exciting moments best.

0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:06.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, even in the Women Tell All recap that we

0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:09.680
<v Speaker 4>just recorded the girls yelling at Carolina and saying like

0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:12.120
<v Speaker 4>you shouldn't have pulled Grant at this point.

0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.680
<v Speaker 5>Because you already had a rose, like all this stuff.

0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:18.040
<v Speaker 4>If you are actually taking this seriously, why does it

0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:19.080
<v Speaker 4>matter who has a rose?

0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:20.680
<v Speaker 5>Like she's just trying to pull the guy and talk

0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:21.080
<v Speaker 5>to him.

0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:24.200
<v Speaker 4>So I hate, like the rules like, let's actually, if

0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:26.840
<v Speaker 4>you're actually going to convince us that these are girls

0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:28.679
<v Speaker 4>really trying to date a guy and find a fiance,

0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:31.640
<v Speaker 4>then actually do it, but in order to have to

0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:33.400
<v Speaker 4>like follow certain rules.

0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:36.159
<v Speaker 5>And I don't know, roses are just flowers.

0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:38.120
<v Speaker 4>Outside of the bachelor world, So why are we like

0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:41.520
<v Speaker 4>treating it any otherwise? Like it's so crazy in this bubble,

0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:43.960
<v Speaker 4>and I think we should pop the bubble a little bit.

0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:47.839
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Yeah, and I think that they should. As I've

0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:50.640
<v Speaker 2>said so many times before, the audience always thinks are

0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:54.080
<v Speaker 2>a broken record, but it's like, we need more funny,

0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:57.080
<v Speaker 2>lighthearted moments. We need to show how the date actually

0:05:57.320 --> 0:06:02.239
<v Speaker 2>was not just the serious conversations happened for like twenty

0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:05.240
<v Speaker 2>percent of it, because I find that you see the

0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:09.760
<v Speaker 2>real connection in those moments where Carolina says, will you

0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:11.839
<v Speaker 2>make out with me intensely? And then can I smell

0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:14.839
<v Speaker 2>your armpits? Which is the weirdest thing, but that's a

0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:18.800
<v Speaker 2>freak you get any and obviously like they had a

0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:22.359
<v Speaker 2>comfortability in which she can say that, and then it

0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:25.760
<v Speaker 2>shows that she's funny, yeah, and then it.

0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:28.200
<v Speaker 3>Leads us to then want to be more invested in

0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:30.560
<v Speaker 3>these people down the line too. I think sometimes what

0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:33.039
<v Speaker 3>I've been struggling with as a fan of the show

0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:37.600
<v Speaker 3>is because they're only showing us those very, very small, oh,

0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:40.080
<v Speaker 3>let me tell you my trauma moments, and we're not

0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:43.119
<v Speaker 3>seeing as much of people's true personalities then as the show.

0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:45.680
<v Speaker 3>Once the show ends and the season raps, I'm not

0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:47.960
<v Speaker 3>as inclined to like, want to follow, want to keep

0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:49.880
<v Speaker 3>up with what they're doing. If they are brought onto

0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:52.359
<v Speaker 3>Bachelor in Paradise or if they pull someone from another

0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:54.880
<v Speaker 3>season to be a lead, I want to be more

0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:56.480
<v Speaker 3>invested in their story, and I think we need to

0:06:56.520 --> 0:07:00.039
<v Speaker 3>see more of those authentic, funny moments so that we

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:02.040
<v Speaker 3>are invested, Like I think you're actually a perfect example

0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:03.800
<v Speaker 3>of this, actually, because we have seen so many like

0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:07.560
<v Speaker 3>authentic moments from you over the years, so people continue

0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:09.320
<v Speaker 3>to keep up with you, they listen to your podcast,

0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:12.680
<v Speaker 3>they follow you like the contestants. Now we're not getting

0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:14.840
<v Speaker 3>the same types of followings in the same it's of

0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:17.520
<v Speaker 3>engagement as they were back in your era, and I

0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:19.120
<v Speaker 3>think that's part of it.

0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:22.120
<v Speaker 2>Like huge differences And yeah, I know, social media and

0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:24.640
<v Speaker 2>just following in general is a little less of a

0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.640
<v Speaker 2>thing these days. You know, like our algorithms aren't designed

0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:32.160
<v Speaker 2>as as much for follows. Yeah, but like the difference

0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:35.920
<v Speaker 2>is a mens and the difference well chows the decline

0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:38.680
<v Speaker 2>in ratings of course, because there's like one fourth of

0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:41.760
<v Speaker 2>the audience that we had during my season, so obviously

0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.600
<v Speaker 2>that's reflected in it. And then I do think there's

0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:47.440
<v Speaker 2>just like a general like disinterest in following them beyond

0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:50.160
<v Speaker 2>the show, and I think that we need to bring

0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:52.600
<v Speaker 2>stuff back, like talking to parrots, Like I think it

0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:54.960
<v Speaker 2>was hilarious when they had me talk to a parrot

0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:57.280
<v Speaker 2>and that was the parrot was the producer, Like those

0:07:57.360 --> 0:08:00.600
<v Speaker 2>are ridiculous in the Red and yeah, yeah, no, Claire

0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:01.640
<v Speaker 2>had a raccoon.

0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:03.640
<v Speaker 5>I know, but like the same same kind of.

0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:07.240
<v Speaker 2>Exactly exactly because so much more fun. Also, like you

0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:11.040
<v Speaker 2>know that that's a producer and that makes these conversations

0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:13.680
<v Speaker 2>funny too. I know that's just like a paradise thing.

0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:16.880
<v Speaker 4>But do some there's like definitely an audience of people

0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:17.560
<v Speaker 4>that don't know.

0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:19.520
<v Speaker 5>I feel like it's still two days.

0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:22.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's very very alarming.

0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:25.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, no, it's weird because like on our show, we

0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:28.080
<v Speaker 4>are Our show is all about like exposing what's really

0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:31.240
<v Speaker 4>happening and trying to see the edit behind. That's what

0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:32.960
<v Speaker 4>I like to do when I watch the show, like

0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:36.040
<v Speaker 4>how did this really unfold? Like even Carolina not to

0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:38.720
<v Speaker 4>keep bringing up woman tell All but her walking off stage. Sure,

0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:40.480
<v Speaker 4>she may have walked off on her own, but I

0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:43.640
<v Speaker 4>can also see a producer on like the Outskirts being like,

0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:46.040
<v Speaker 4>come here, you're upset, Come here, let me get you

0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:47.760
<v Speaker 4>to get her off, and then they get.

0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:48.439
<v Speaker 5>The scene they want.

0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:51.720
<v Speaker 4>And I feel like there's still people that see the

0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:54.760
<v Speaker 4>show at face value, like when someone gets a bad edit,

0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:58.840
<v Speaker 4>they're a bad person. And yeah, there's we like opening

0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:00.760
<v Speaker 4>people's eyes to the fact that. But like I think

0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:05.240
<v Speaker 4>the real villains sorry every season are producers, not the

0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:06.000
<v Speaker 4>people on the show.

0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:08.040
<v Speaker 2>Sorry, I don't know if I could say that her

0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:09.880
<v Speaker 2>touch has really changed since I've been there. I don't

0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:12.880
<v Speaker 2>have a lot of close ties there. It depends. It

0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:16.120
<v Speaker 2>depends on who you are talking about. And two and

0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:19.600
<v Speaker 2>I have a few there that I do love so

0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:22.600
<v Speaker 2>much and I do genuinely think that they care about me,

0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:28.400
<v Speaker 2>and nobody can convince me otherwise. Sure, jam yes, really

0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:33.160
<v Speaker 2>it's so crazy because last season I saw it again

0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:37.160
<v Speaker 2>through like the eyes of being a contestant when I

0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:40.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, I signed my friend up Sidney for the show,

0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:45.080
<v Speaker 2>and I would have people come at me in my

0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:49.160
<v Speaker 2>DMS being like she's like she's a bad person, like

0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:52.960
<v Speaker 2>she's this, she's that, like she's evil, she whatever, And

0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:55.600
<v Speaker 2>I was like, this is so you guys, I just

0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:58.280
<v Speaker 2>need you to like take this a moment to really

0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:01.400
<v Speaker 2>think about this. You are DM ing me about my

0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:03.839
<v Speaker 2>friend who I've known in real life for two years now,

0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:07.840
<v Speaker 2>and you're telling me that what you have seen on

0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:11.319
<v Speaker 2>TV and only the clips that you've seen on TV,

0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:14.080
<v Speaker 2>means that you know her more than I know her.

0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:18.920
<v Speaker 5>Right person, Yeah, you're a bad person for being her friend?

0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:19.839
<v Speaker 5>Why don't you know that?

0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:22.120
<v Speaker 2>I Luckily I didn't get any of that, which was,

0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:25.280
<v Speaker 2>oh really that was surprising actually that I didn't get

0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:27.560
<v Speaker 2>more backlash for just being friends with her. But like,

0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:30.560
<v Speaker 2>it was crazy how people were like, no, no, like

0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:34.719
<v Speaker 2>she's bad, Like you you really think that what you're

0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:37.040
<v Speaker 2>seeing on TV is more than what I know of her?

0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:37.480
<v Speaker 3>It was.

0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:40.800
<v Speaker 2>It was really fun. It was funny honestly for you know,

0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:44.280
<v Speaker 2>it was fun for me, and it was not fun

0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:46.840
<v Speaker 2>for me to have to her obviously be so sad,

0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:51.840
<v Speaker 2>but it was so interesting to see it when they're

0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:53.760
<v Speaker 2>not talking about you.

0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:57.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, those crack me up too, because it's like, Okay,

0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:01.440
<v Speaker 3>if she's such a bad person, you are bullying a

0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:03.840
<v Speaker 3>stranger on the internet, so like, what does that make you?

0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:04.240
<v Speaker 2>Like?

0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:06.720
<v Speaker 3>The people who actually go to message these things are like, oh,

0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:08.959
<v Speaker 3>that person is a bad person. That person's a bad person.

0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:11.840
<v Speaker 3>It's like, okay, but isn't it also kind of bad

0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:15.640
<v Speaker 3>to just be sending strangers messages that these people are

0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:17.400
<v Speaker 3>bad people. It's just so funny to me.

0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:19.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we literally tell people that if you're the type

0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:22.240
<v Speaker 4>of person that goes in the comment section and harasses

0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:24.160
<v Speaker 4>people from the show because of their edit, like please

0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:27.200
<v Speaker 4>don't listen to our podcasts, Like, I just don't support

0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:30.440
<v Speaker 4>people that act that way. And they are like the

0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:33.160
<v Speaker 4>prime example of the people that don't get it.

0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:34.719
<v Speaker 5>They literally think.

0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:37.120
<v Speaker 4>The show is what it is and it's not an

0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:38.160
<v Speaker 4>edited show.

0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:51.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, So what do you guys think about Grant?

0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:52.200
<v Speaker 5>He's hot.

0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:53.000
<v Speaker 2>I like him.

0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:58.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I've been pleasantly surprised by Grant. I think for

0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:01.000
<v Speaker 3>a lot of the past few seasons, I've felt frustrated

0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:03.559
<v Speaker 3>when they announced the lead because I feel like they

0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:07.479
<v Speaker 3>haven't done a great job of showing us like contestant's

0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:09.920
<v Speaker 3>true personalities when they're on their season. So then they

0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:12.400
<v Speaker 3>announced them as the lead, and like, wait, who what

0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:15.280
<v Speaker 3>was their situation? So I felt a little bit that

0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:17.200
<v Speaker 3>way about Grant. But I feel like I've come to

0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:19.480
<v Speaker 3>get to know him. He's so great. All the girls

0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:22.720
<v Speaker 3>seem to genuinely really like him, which I think makes

0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:24.960
<v Speaker 3>for a much like juicier season because I feel like

0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:27.599
<v Speaker 3>people's feelings are real and so yeah, I've been so

0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:30.160
<v Speaker 3>pleasantly surprised by him and his season. I've been really

0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:30.720
<v Speaker 3>enjoying it.

0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:34.040
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So I think he's so good looking, and I

0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:36.640
<v Speaker 2>obviously think he's so sweet, and I do really think

0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:39.480
<v Speaker 2>that he is there for the right reasons. He really

0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:43.720
<v Speaker 2>wants a wife. But I also I don't know that

0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:45.840
<v Speaker 2>the girls have been that drawn to him. I don't.

0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:47.920
<v Speaker 2>I think they've been very attulity to him, but I

0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:49.959
<v Speaker 2>don't know that anyone feels that they've had like really

0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:52.720
<v Speaker 2>deep connections that they really lost to great love.

0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:55.360
<v Speaker 3>Well, that I think is true, though, because I don't

0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:58.640
<v Speaker 3>think Grant is having really deep connections with any of

0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:00.880
<v Speaker 3>the girls. I think whoever he ends up with, he

0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:03.520
<v Speaker 3>is going to be as in love as he can

0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:05.880
<v Speaker 3>be at this phase in his life. But we kind

0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:08.080
<v Speaker 3>of were talking about this, like when we're thinking about who.

0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:10.520
<v Speaker 3>In my opinion on the two frontrunners, Juliana and Latia,

0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:13.800
<v Speaker 3>I feel like he's leaning more towards Juliana, but a

0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:16.240
<v Speaker 3>lot of their conversations do seem a little bit more

0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:19.600
<v Speaker 3>surface level. Maybe we're not ready for full engagement. We're

0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:21.440
<v Speaker 3>going to be like boyfriend girlfriend vibes. But that's where

0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:23.200
<v Speaker 3>I feel like Grant is at, Like I believe he

0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:26.079
<v Speaker 3>wants a long term girlfriend, but someone like Latia is

0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:28.320
<v Speaker 3>kind of more ready to like settle down, have kids,

0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:30.600
<v Speaker 3>And I don't know if like Grant is ready to

0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:35.440
<v Speaker 3>like have those conversations really not on the show, Okay, Stephanie.

0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:38.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think he wants a serious girlfriend for sure.

0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:41.520
<v Speaker 5>I'm not so buying that.

0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:44.560
<v Speaker 4>Like there was a lot of focus this season on like, oh,

0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:46.200
<v Speaker 4>we're going to bring all these random kids on the

0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:49.200
<v Speaker 4>basketball date because Grant wants kids, so therefore kids have

0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:52.120
<v Speaker 4>to be around. But like I'm I don't think a

0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:56.160
<v Speaker 4>guy releasing a single called party Girl is looking to

0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:56.880
<v Speaker 4>have kids in the.

0:13:56.840 --> 0:13:58.839
<v Speaker 5>Near future, Like maybe in a couple of years. I'm

0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:00.319
<v Speaker 5>sure he is, I just.

0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:04.560
<v Speaker 4>Don't think today, and I'm just not getting serious father

0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:07.560
<v Speaker 4>figure vibes today. I'm sure he's going to be a

0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:10.760
<v Speaker 4>phenomenal father in a few years, but I just I'm

0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:13.080
<v Speaker 4>I'm not buying that too much. And I agree, like

0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:15.800
<v Speaker 4>when they announced Grant one, I think ABC did him

0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:18.640
<v Speaker 4>dirty with the announcement because like they didn't even did

0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:20.760
<v Speaker 4>they didn'tven announce it on TV when they could have,

0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:23.280
<v Speaker 4>like they had a show airing, they could have just

0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:25.280
<v Speaker 4>like put the promo up and let us all get

0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:28.640
<v Speaker 4>excited and did it. Wasn't it that like someone tweeted

0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:31.760
<v Speaker 4>it from the show Instagram poster, by the way, and

0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:34.920
<v Speaker 4>then their reason was, oh, we did that because we

0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:36.920
<v Speaker 4>want all the girls to sign up. But I'm like,

0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:39.280
<v Speaker 4>if you wanted more girls to sign up, why wouldn't

0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:41.680
<v Speaker 4>you air it on TV where everyone's watching.

0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:44.040
<v Speaker 5>It's just nothing makes sense.

0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:46.160
<v Speaker 4>I think they kind of did him dirty in the beginning,

0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:48.760
<v Speaker 4>but I think he's really held his own and I

0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:50.840
<v Speaker 4>think the season's been pretty good.

0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:52.800
<v Speaker 5>It's better than past seasons.

0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:58.320
<v Speaker 4>Joey aside, No, obviously, no, I mean, honestly, I mean Zach.

0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:01.320
<v Speaker 3>I was about to say, I say or not, but like,

0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:04.840
<v Speaker 3>for example, I think in Zach's season, I didn't get

0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:06.520
<v Speaker 3>the sense that a lot of the girls were that

0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:11.160
<v Speaker 3>into him or attracted to him, and that leads to

0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:15.080
<v Speaker 3>just more of like a dry season drama wise, whereas

0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:17.120
<v Speaker 3>I feel I do feel like all these girls really

0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:20.080
<v Speaker 3>like him. What do you think about his potential music career?

0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:21.280
<v Speaker 3>Going back to Grid, I.

0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:23.280
<v Speaker 2>Was going to ask you guys that because you just

0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:27.080
<v Speaker 2>talked about a single. Yeah, it hasn't really crossed my

0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:29.640
<v Speaker 2>mind lately. I did think it was very swoony when

0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:32.680
<v Speaker 2>he when he played the piano to Alex, And apparently

0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:35.880
<v Speaker 2>Alex didn't think it was spoony. She said it was icky.

0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:41.160
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I know on File five? What wait you thought swoony?

0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:42.880
<v Speaker 5>Like smoothing? I was like, wait, is that a cool

0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:43.880
<v Speaker 5>word means.

0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:47.000
<v Speaker 2>This isn't Ashley word means good? I think because you're like,

0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:49.480
<v Speaker 2>it made me, it would make it would have made

0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:52.520
<v Speaker 2>me swoon. I would like I wouldn't have really known

0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:54.200
<v Speaker 2>how to deal with it, Like I would have been

0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:57.880
<v Speaker 2>like probably like beat red, but also like I thought

0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:01.280
<v Speaker 2>I was a romantic But apparently you think icky.

0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:02.400
<v Speaker 5>Yes, Alex thought it was icky.

0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:04.680
<v Speaker 4>She said on The Vile Files that she got the

0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:08.000
<v Speaker 4>ick and like that's where it started, and apparently continued

0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:10.480
<v Speaker 4>we continued, really, oh.

0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:12.480
<v Speaker 5>I don't Maybe I'm misinterpreting.

0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:14.040
<v Speaker 2>What I don't know. No, you know more than I do.

0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:17.280
<v Speaker 5>Probably not, but I don't know.

0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:21.640
<v Speaker 4>I think if a guy honestly in previous seasons, remember

0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:25.840
<v Speaker 4>Casey from like Ali Fedotowski's season, and he's like when

0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:30.480
<v Speaker 4>I was flying in the helicopter and she's like awkward,

0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:33.320
<v Speaker 4>that's kind of what it was like, I think, randomly

0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:34.200
<v Speaker 4>singing yeah.

0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:34.640
<v Speaker 5>No oh.

0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:36.640
<v Speaker 2>She said that if it was a guitar she would

0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:38.680
<v Speaker 2>have felt differently. And I guess maybe like that's the

0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:41.400
<v Speaker 2>piano girl in me that I'm like, give me some

0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:44.720
<v Speaker 2>Taylor Hanson on the piano, and well, yeah.

0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:46.120
<v Speaker 3>You know, I would have loved it. I feel like

0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:48.040
<v Speaker 3>when men can like play the piano and stuff, it's

0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:50.920
<v Speaker 3>like the most attractive. Yeah, I think I would be spooning.

0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:52.280
<v Speaker 5>But it wasn't a song.

0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:55.280
<v Speaker 2>It was a song. I thought it was a great

0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:59.200
<v Speaker 2>song that spot du do dude, yeah, do dude. They

0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:01.120
<v Speaker 2>put in all the pre and it got stuck in

0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:03.960
<v Speaker 2>my head. Well, it was no party girl.

0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:06.960
<v Speaker 3>But party girls just want to live the lyric of

0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:07.719
<v Speaker 3>a lifetime.

0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:10.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you guys, I didn't listen to party girl.

0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:12.960
<v Speaker 5>You don't go to my instagram?

0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:13.480
<v Speaker 2>Is it good?

0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:17.120
<v Speaker 4>It's a nights like this don't come around too often.

0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:20.119
<v Speaker 4>She want to party and a key get in, locked

0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:20.760
<v Speaker 4>in and.

0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:22.440
<v Speaker 5>Then party girls. They all want to live.

0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:25.520
<v Speaker 2>Which do you think that he really wants to pursue

0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:26.240
<v Speaker 2>a music career?

0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:29.040
<v Speaker 4>Well, why else would he release it in January twenty

0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:29.640
<v Speaker 4>twenty five.

0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:31.960
<v Speaker 2>I know, I'm surprised I let him do that. I'm

0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:33.960
<v Speaker 2>really surprised. Same.

0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:36.119
<v Speaker 4>And to answer your question, I mean, like what happened

0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:40.399
<v Speaker 4>to the days of when someone was aspiring musician? They

0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:42.680
<v Speaker 4>were there for the wrong reasons. Now our own bachelor

0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:45.600
<v Speaker 4>is allowed to release a single the month that your

0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:49.160
<v Speaker 4>own season comes out, Like Jed Wyatt is like cringing somewhere.

0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:50.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't think.

0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:53.520
<v Speaker 4>I don't think it's like really fair and granted, like

0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:56.520
<v Speaker 4>you could, granted you could be a guy that like

0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:59.440
<v Speaker 4>wants to pursue music. I think the timing is weird.

0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:02.639
<v Speaker 4>It's not like your Spotify list was all these past

0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:04.879
<v Speaker 4>singles that you've tried in the past. You've always been

0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:06.639
<v Speaker 4>into music, you've been trying to make it big, and

0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:09.440
<v Speaker 4>it just so happens you're the Bachelor. It was January

0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:12.440
<v Speaker 4>twenty five, twenty twenty five, that your first single comes out.

0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:16.760
<v Speaker 2>No One is Suspicious. Yeah, it's weird. It's hilarious to

0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:19.400
<v Speaker 2>see the difference with Jed and him. Well, Jed had

0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah problem wasn't the music?

0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:23.680
<v Speaker 3>Okay, going back to the Jed thing. That was kind

0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:28.080
<v Speaker 3>of my point is like, did we like Jed's music? No,

0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:29.840
<v Speaker 3>not really, but we all knew it was something he

0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:32.280
<v Speaker 3>wanted to pursue. And the real reason why people were

0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:34.520
<v Speaker 3>so unhappy with Jed was because of the going on

0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:37.440
<v Speaker 3>the show with a girlfriend kind of cheating thing. Less

0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:38.639
<v Speaker 3>so about the music.

0:18:38.720 --> 0:18:40.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but that got the music got cringy at a

0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:41.240
<v Speaker 2>certain point.

0:18:41.359 --> 0:18:42.840
<v Speaker 3>Oh for sure. I mean it was like, what was

0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:46.480
<v Speaker 3>he played dog jingles? Food jingles? Yeah? Yeah, dog food jingles?

0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:51.360
<v Speaker 4>Okay, Ashley on your season though, Britt got harassed because

0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:54.040
<v Speaker 4>she had an acting background and everyone's like, oh, you're

0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:55.720
<v Speaker 4>just here to be an actress and look at her.

0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:58.800
<v Speaker 5>She couldn't be further from the limeline. It's the least

0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:01.640
<v Speaker 5>like she wants nothing to do with.

0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:04.520
<v Speaker 4>Fame, and everyone was like you you were an actress,

0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:07.520
<v Speaker 4>obviously that you're here for the wrong reasons. So I

0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:11.320
<v Speaker 4>just feel like we're changing the way we view things here.

0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:15.240
<v Speaker 3>But the musicians not also want love. My opinion is

0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:17.679
<v Speaker 3>both these can be true. He can be pursuing his

0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:20.880
<v Speaker 3>music career because it's a great opportunities on national television,

0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:23.280
<v Speaker 3>but also won a long term girlfriend.

0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:27.359
<v Speaker 4>Yes, I agree, Yeah, you're totally the timing of it.

0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:30.600
<v Speaker 4>Musicians can have love. I think the timing is a

0:19:30.640 --> 0:19:33.160
<v Speaker 4>little weird. I also think ABC had to have been

0:19:33.280 --> 0:19:35.760
<v Speaker 4>either behind it or approved of it.

0:19:35.680 --> 0:19:38.360
<v Speaker 2>Because they well, they definitely approved of it. I think

0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:40.320
<v Speaker 2>that they were just I just think that they're making

0:19:40.359 --> 0:19:44.000
<v Speaker 2>the strangest decisions and that that's all I have.

0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:48.439
<v Speaker 4>And then he's sang multiple times though too, not just

0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:49.040
<v Speaker 4>with Alex.

0:19:49.160 --> 0:19:51.000
<v Speaker 5>Then the other date, the date it was like two

0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:52.840
<v Speaker 5>dates in a row, he was singing, and that's when

0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:55.480
<v Speaker 5>all paired together kind and then he.

0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:59.040
<v Speaker 3>Wrapped on the plane with Carolina. I think there was

0:19:59.080 --> 0:20:02.240
<v Speaker 3>a lot of performance. I don't mind. Yeah, I'm like,

0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:03.919
<v Speaker 3>the whole wrong reasons police thing.

0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:05.919
<v Speaker 2>I'm not down for that because, like, I think you

0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:08.919
<v Speaker 2>could be there for multiple reasons, and I would consider

0:20:08.960 --> 0:20:11.240
<v Speaker 2>myself there for multiple reasons. But I think as long

0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:13.800
<v Speaker 2>as you actually want to fall in love and get

0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:16.480
<v Speaker 2>married one day and one day in the near future,

0:20:16.880 --> 0:20:20.359
<v Speaker 2>you're all good to be there. Anyway, what do we

0:20:20.359 --> 0:20:22.919
<v Speaker 2>think about fantasy suits next week? Did you hear that

0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:24.919
<v Speaker 2>he's celibate? What?

0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:26.480
<v Speaker 3>No, I did not hear.

0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:29.640
<v Speaker 2>Reality told me that he's been celibate since his last girlfriend,

0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:31.600
<v Speaker 2>so he's going on a year, so he's going to

0:20:31.640 --> 0:20:34.600
<v Speaker 2>the fantasy suites like this, So maybe Latia is not

0:20:34.640 --> 0:20:36.960
<v Speaker 2>going to have to have some awkward moment where she's like, hey,

0:20:37.000 --> 0:20:41.199
<v Speaker 2>by the way, like obviously a Mormon. I know that is.

0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:45.240
<v Speaker 4>Grant, also DM ing him telling him about his personal.

0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:47.680
<v Speaker 2>List, said it somewhere. I hope it's brought up next

0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:49.600
<v Speaker 2>week and may and may not. I don't know.

0:20:49.920 --> 0:20:51.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, why wouldn't they bring it up in the show?

0:20:51.600 --> 0:20:51.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

0:20:51.760 --> 0:20:52.199
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:20:52.320 --> 0:20:54.720
<v Speaker 2>It seems like the perfect tease. Oh look, we're getting

0:20:54.720 --> 0:20:57.720
<v Speaker 2>a People article. Oh yeah, People dot come is saying

0:20:57.800 --> 0:20:59.840
<v Speaker 2>the fantasy suite's a year after being celibate.

0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:03.000
<v Speaker 5>Wait, so that that would mean he's a born again virgin, right.

0:21:03.080 --> 0:21:04.040
<v Speaker 2>Well, I don't know. It's importing.

0:21:04.240 --> 0:21:07.280
<v Speaker 3>Does he celeb it by choice or by just a

0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:11.040
<v Speaker 3>circumbidance that he hasn't happened to be with someone serious

0:21:11.160 --> 0:21:12.640
<v Speaker 3>enough to hook up with them.

0:21:12.840 --> 0:21:14.879
<v Speaker 2>He could just walk it anywhere. He could be in

0:21:14.880 --> 0:21:19.600
<v Speaker 2>the grocery store and be like, hey, you know, definitely

0:21:20.720 --> 0:21:22.040
<v Speaker 2>definitely got to be by choice.

0:21:22.240 --> 0:21:24.720
<v Speaker 4>Isn't that also like a dry spell? Like so he's

0:21:24.760 --> 0:21:26.320
<v Speaker 4>not trying to not have sex?

0:21:26.440 --> 0:21:33.040
<v Speaker 2>No, no, okay, So fantasy suites is really tricky, but

0:21:33.080 --> 0:21:35.600
<v Speaker 2>I think I handled myself very well. There was a

0:21:35.640 --> 0:21:37.840
<v Speaker 2>lot of kisses, but I do feel like in fantasy

0:21:37.880 --> 0:21:42.639
<v Speaker 2>suits I really reserve myself because when you get physically

0:21:42.920 --> 0:21:46.679
<v Speaker 2>physical intimacy involved, that changes things you're connection with somebody.

0:21:46.920 --> 0:21:50.480
<v Speaker 2>There could be some red flags there and then then

0:21:50.520 --> 0:21:53.480
<v Speaker 2>you guys have sex and then everything's wonderful. So I

0:21:53.480 --> 0:21:55.359
<v Speaker 2>try to handle myself really well, and I tried to

0:21:55.359 --> 0:21:58.800
<v Speaker 2>be really responsible. But he said on the viol Files

0:21:59.040 --> 0:22:02.200
<v Speaker 2>that files, yeah, I know. I don'tly know why, I

0:22:02.200 --> 0:22:06.280
<v Speaker 2>said one of my best friends saying that word. He

0:22:06.320 --> 0:22:09.840
<v Speaker 2>did say on the viol Files that yeah, he's been

0:22:09.920 --> 0:22:15.199
<v Speaker 2>celibate for a year, went in with real intentions. He

0:22:15.240 --> 0:22:16.960
<v Speaker 2>said he got out of a seven year relationship and

0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:19.840
<v Speaker 2>he was hurting, and that he just just seems like

0:22:19.880 --> 0:22:21.880
<v Speaker 2>he didn't want to he didn't want to get into

0:22:21.880 --> 0:22:22.200
<v Speaker 2>the bed.

0:22:22.600 --> 0:22:25.600
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So this wasn't like a lifestyle change.

0:22:26.200 --> 0:22:28.280
<v Speaker 2>And no, it wasn't like he was going to be

0:22:28.480 --> 0:22:30.679
<v Speaker 2>like a Sean Lowe and like, yeah, it would be

0:22:30.680 --> 0:22:32.920
<v Speaker 2>a born again virgin where you're like, yeah, okay, I'm

0:22:32.920 --> 0:22:36.480
<v Speaker 2>not going to have sex until like marriage. No, this

0:22:36.640 --> 0:22:39.600
<v Speaker 2>is more of like I'm waiting for the responsible and

0:22:39.680 --> 0:22:41.120
<v Speaker 2>right moment. M hmm.

0:22:41.200 --> 0:22:43.800
<v Speaker 5>Okay, is that in the fantasy Suite?

0:22:44.160 --> 0:22:46.760
<v Speaker 2>Is that in the fantasy Suite? It sounds as if no,

0:22:47.640 --> 0:22:50.600
<v Speaker 2>just listening to his quotes here, right.

0:22:50.520 --> 0:22:54.320
<v Speaker 4>Well, bummer, I was looking for I was kind of

0:22:54.359 --> 0:22:57.800
<v Speaker 4>looking forward to like a Maddie Prue Peter Webber situation

0:22:58.040 --> 0:22:59.120
<v Speaker 4>where she gives.

0:22:58.960 --> 0:23:01.040
<v Speaker 5>Him the ultimatum and he doesn't know what to do.

0:23:01.440 --> 0:23:03.200
<v Speaker 5>I feel like that. I mean, he says in.

0:23:03.160 --> 0:23:05.840
<v Speaker 4>The preview, look forward to my demise or stay tuned

0:23:05.840 --> 0:23:06.520
<v Speaker 4>for my demise.

0:23:06.720 --> 0:23:09.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, I think I know what that is. Oh what,

0:23:10.040 --> 0:23:12.679
<v Speaker 2>let's just say we have intel where you cannot release

0:23:12.720 --> 0:23:16.480
<v Speaker 2>any sources. It may not be true. There might be

0:23:16.520 --> 0:23:18.920
<v Speaker 2>a coin, there might not be a coin. There might

0:23:18.960 --> 0:23:25.400
<v Speaker 2>be a coin that's never aired or whatever. If there

0:23:25.560 --> 0:23:27.320
<v Speaker 2>was a coin flip, let's just say.

0:23:27.119 --> 0:23:30.400
<v Speaker 4>There's a coin flip. That's what I'm taking from this,

0:23:30.520 --> 0:23:31.359
<v Speaker 4>I know, but I don't know.

0:23:31.440 --> 0:23:35.120
<v Speaker 2>Okay, sure, but if there was, is this even something

0:23:35.119 --> 0:23:37.600
<v Speaker 2>that they would air because it would villainize him like

0:23:37.680 --> 0:23:39.320
<v Speaker 2>no other I believe No.

0:23:39.560 --> 0:23:43.400
<v Speaker 5>They would not air that. But that's crazy. If that actually.

0:23:43.040 --> 0:23:45.800
<v Speaker 3>Happened, I wouldn't they air it? It would villainize him,

0:23:45.800 --> 0:23:48.639
<v Speaker 3>but would make for great television. Well, since when do

0:23:48.680 --> 0:23:51.320
<v Speaker 3>they care about protecting their leads and not villainizing them.

0:23:51.400 --> 0:23:53.800
<v Speaker 3>I feel like, true, they've had some Bachelor like the

0:23:53.840 --> 0:23:58.119
<v Speaker 3>way they treated Clayton. I'm like, I don't know. They

0:23:58.240 --> 0:23:59.560
<v Speaker 3>like to make a villain out of a lead.

0:23:59.600 --> 0:24:12.760
<v Speaker 2>I feel could you imagine being a woman and realizing

0:24:12.800 --> 0:24:14.920
<v Speaker 2>that you got proposed to because of a flip of

0:24:14.960 --> 0:24:15.399
<v Speaker 2>a coin?

0:24:15.920 --> 0:24:18.320
<v Speaker 5>No, And which is why I think there's a chance

0:24:18.320 --> 0:24:19.480
<v Speaker 5>that granted single.

0:24:19.440 --> 0:24:22.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, because after the fact she would find out that

0:24:22.680 --> 0:24:24.560
<v Speaker 2>she was chosen with the flip of a coin.

0:24:24.920 --> 0:24:28.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, or realizing that it was so like frivolous one

0:24:28.200 --> 0:24:30.600
<v Speaker 3>or the other. Yeah, that he wasn't as sure as

0:24:30.640 --> 0:24:32.400
<v Speaker 3>maybe he was saying.

0:24:32.400 --> 0:24:35.920
<v Speaker 2>Do you think if you're that torn, that perhaps neither

0:24:36.000 --> 0:24:36.960
<v Speaker 2>person is your person.

0:24:37.680 --> 0:24:43.000
<v Speaker 3>Yes, correct, I do think so. Maybe it's a crazy

0:24:43.040 --> 0:24:45.400
<v Speaker 3>concept to go on a reality TV show and in

0:24:45.440 --> 0:24:48.000
<v Speaker 3>six weeks get engaged to someone you barely know.

0:24:48.560 --> 0:24:50.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I feel like Tenley said not to be so

0:24:51.000 --> 0:24:53.640
<v Speaker 4>oj But like Tenley said that to Jake because he's like, oh,

0:24:53.840 --> 0:24:56.119
<v Speaker 4>it was a really close call between you and Vienna,

0:24:56.119 --> 0:24:58.560
<v Speaker 4>and she's like, well, I'm glad that I'm not Vienna then,

0:24:58.600 --> 0:25:00.520
<v Speaker 4>because if it was that close, I don't want to

0:25:00.560 --> 0:25:01.639
<v Speaker 4>be the girl that you chose.

0:25:01.680 --> 0:25:03.080
<v Speaker 5>And it's like accurate.

0:25:03.680 --> 0:25:05.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, And just to know, the whole poll this whole

0:25:05.680 --> 0:25:08.920
<v Speaker 4>season was he doesn't know which one he's going to

0:25:08.960 --> 0:25:11.240
<v Speaker 4>pick between the two girls, Like there is one girl

0:25:11.280 --> 0:25:13.760
<v Speaker 4>he does pick, though, and how do you think she.

0:25:13.640 --> 0:25:16.840
<v Speaker 2>Feels exactly, which is why we have to predict that

0:25:17.200 --> 0:25:20.480
<v Speaker 2>if he's with the girl, it's not a solid relationship

0:25:20.560 --> 0:25:24.199
<v Speaker 2>right now. And even if there's no dramatic way in

0:25:24.240 --> 0:25:27.879
<v Speaker 2>which she chooses the girl, it definitely seemed as if

0:25:28.480 --> 0:25:31.680
<v Speaker 2>there's some reason that the audience isn't going to love

0:25:31.760 --> 0:25:33.440
<v Speaker 2>him at the end.

0:25:34.119 --> 0:25:38.000
<v Speaker 5>There's like no way they will show him flipping a coin.

0:25:38.320 --> 0:25:40.680
<v Speaker 5>That is maybe a mockery.

0:25:40.520 --> 0:25:43.560
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I know, I know. Maybe I'm just coming up

0:25:43.560 --> 0:25:44.680
<v Speaker 2>with that at the top of my head.

0:25:45.320 --> 0:25:48.600
<v Speaker 3>Boy, that it's like classic. The promo is trying to

0:25:48.640 --> 0:25:51.360
<v Speaker 3>trick us and make us think something is more dramatic,

0:25:51.400 --> 0:25:53.280
<v Speaker 3>Like how many times has Jesse Palmer said to me,

0:25:53.720 --> 0:25:55.960
<v Speaker 3>this is the most dramatic ending ever and guess what

0:25:56.520 --> 0:25:59.280
<v Speaker 3>it wasn't Like. I sometimes get really skeptical about what

0:25:59.280 --> 0:26:01.800
<v Speaker 3>they show us in the promo, what they tease. Maybe

0:26:01.800 --> 0:26:03.520
<v Speaker 3>it's nothing, is that possible?

0:26:03.600 --> 0:26:06.880
<v Speaker 4>Or this is behind the scenes te He's not flipping

0:26:06.880 --> 0:26:07.840
<v Speaker 4>a coin in the promo.

0:26:08.200 --> 0:26:09.760
<v Speaker 2>You would think if it was a coin thing, that

0:26:09.800 --> 0:26:13.000
<v Speaker 2>they would like have this dramatic moment in which like

0:26:13.040 --> 0:26:15.760
<v Speaker 2>a coin hits a hand or like a coin hits

0:26:15.800 --> 0:26:16.600
<v Speaker 2>the floor.

0:26:17.200 --> 0:26:19.119
<v Speaker 5>And they're like, why is he flipping the coin?

0:26:21.520 --> 0:26:25.080
<v Speaker 2>And then like in real and normal bachelor seasons, it

0:26:25.119 --> 0:26:26.879
<v Speaker 2>would be like part of a group date and then

0:26:26.920 --> 0:26:29.080
<v Speaker 2>you'd be like, oh my yeah, that coin flip is

0:26:29.080 --> 0:26:30.879
<v Speaker 2>part of a group date. They had to decide who

0:26:30.920 --> 0:26:31.680
<v Speaker 2>went first.

0:26:32.400 --> 0:26:36.200
<v Speaker 3>I know exactly that like trickery that I'm always looking

0:26:36.200 --> 0:26:36.600
<v Speaker 3>out for.

0:26:38.119 --> 0:26:41.080
<v Speaker 2>Who knows, we'll see I guess I want to end

0:26:41.240 --> 0:26:46.120
<v Speaker 2>this by asking you guys, who your prediction is that, Well, okay,

0:26:46.200 --> 0:26:48.280
<v Speaker 2>let's pretend it's not a coin flip. Who do you

0:26:48.320 --> 0:26:50.879
<v Speaker 2>think that he actually has a stronger connection with And

0:26:51.000 --> 0:26:55.000
<v Speaker 2>will Letia's Mormon faith play a role in his selection,

0:26:55.119 --> 0:26:58.840
<v Speaker 2>because to me, she's the front runner, She's the greatest

0:26:58.840 --> 0:27:03.560
<v Speaker 2>connection he has. But perhaps it's all too intense for

0:27:03.640 --> 0:27:05.440
<v Speaker 2>him when it comes down to it.

0:27:06.160 --> 0:27:08.400
<v Speaker 3>That's actually kind of exactly how I feel. I think

0:27:08.440 --> 0:27:13.679
<v Speaker 3>he's going to pick Juliana. I agree that Lytia is

0:27:13.680 --> 0:27:15.840
<v Speaker 3>an incredibly strong connection as well, but I do think

0:27:16.000 --> 0:27:19.240
<v Speaker 3>like the back ground of Lytia and going into her

0:27:19.280 --> 0:27:21.760
<v Speaker 3>Mormon faith and just the fact that she seems so

0:27:21.840 --> 0:27:24.760
<v Speaker 3>ready to want to like have a family immediately, and

0:27:24.800 --> 0:27:26.679
<v Speaker 3>I think Juliana is maybe a little bit more in

0:27:26.680 --> 0:27:28.560
<v Speaker 3>the phase of life that grantson where she would like

0:27:28.640 --> 0:27:31.440
<v Speaker 3>to have a really long engagement or date long term,

0:27:31.800 --> 0:27:34.520
<v Speaker 3>Like Juliana just seems like the better fit for right now.

0:27:34.920 --> 0:27:39.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the age difference between Juliana and Lytia makes a

0:27:39.200 --> 0:27:42.520
<v Speaker 2>difference too, because you know, Lytia is thirty one, she's Mormon,

0:27:42.640 --> 0:27:45.760
<v Speaker 2>she's ready to do this, and Juliana will give him

0:27:45.840 --> 0:27:46.760
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more.

0:27:47.320 --> 0:27:50.879
<v Speaker 4>Eas But maybe that's the right choice for him because

0:27:50.920 --> 0:27:53.080
<v Speaker 4>he has a new song out called party Girl, and

0:27:53.080 --> 0:27:55.919
<v Speaker 4>maybe that's he wants a long term girlfriend that he

0:27:55.960 --> 0:27:57.640
<v Speaker 4>can go to the club with.

0:27:57.880 --> 0:27:59.840
<v Speaker 2>Right, so he would pick Julia's not go into the

0:27:59.840 --> 0:28:01.520
<v Speaker 2>club with Latia. Latti is not going to go to

0:28:01.520 --> 0:28:01.760
<v Speaker 2>the clo.

0:28:01.880 --> 0:28:04.359
<v Speaker 5>No, no, I'm saying Juliana. I'm saying, like I do.

0:28:05.160 --> 0:28:07.520
<v Speaker 4>I agree Latia is probably that I would choose Lytia

0:28:08.040 --> 0:28:11.040
<v Speaker 4>and I want to date Lya, But like I think

0:28:11.080 --> 0:28:14.680
<v Speaker 4>he'll choose Juliana and maybe that will be the better

0:28:14.800 --> 0:28:17.960
<v Speaker 4>fit long term because of what he really is looking

0:28:18.000 --> 0:28:21.000
<v Speaker 4>for right now, and then he can then pursue Latia

0:28:21.080 --> 0:28:22.359
<v Speaker 4>later when he wants marriage.

0:28:24.920 --> 0:28:27.280
<v Speaker 3>What's the coin? And he's like, all right, Juliana for now,

0:28:29.359 --> 0:28:31.760
<v Speaker 3>I'll get serious with Latina in three years.

0:28:31.880 --> 0:28:35.480
<v Speaker 2>It's perfect. All right. Well, ladies, this was really fun.

0:28:35.600 --> 0:28:37.880
<v Speaker 2>Please come back again and we can have some more

0:28:37.960 --> 0:28:42.680
