<v Speaker 1>What's up, everybody? What's up Batchel Nation. As you can

0:00:04.680 --> 0:00:07.960
<v Speaker 1>tell from my voice, I'm so horace fresh from Super Bowl,

0:00:08.000 --> 0:00:09.720

0:00:09.760 --> 0:00:13.480

<v Speaker 1>You guys are stuck with us. Two episodes means two

0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:19.439
<v Speaker 1>podcast episodes this week as well. We're so excited to

0:00:19.480 --> 0:00:21.599
<v Speaker 1>get into it. Thank you for listening, thank you for

<v Speaker 1>joining us. We are so happy to serve you the

0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:28.920
<v Speaker 1>latest and greatest and Batchel Nation news and opinions everything.

0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:32.240
<v Speaker 1>I have notes in front of me. Rachel's here. We're

0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:35.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna break it down because there is a lot that

0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:37.440
<v Speaker 1>went down this episode, and you have to have notes

0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:39.440
<v Speaker 1>because you need to keep it all in order because

0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:41.480
<v Speaker 1>it's like, where do we even start from? I mean

0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:44.920
<v Speaker 1>it we saw a telenovella, but that should be the

0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:49.200
<v Speaker 1>theme of this season. It's his own soap opera. Yeah, so, Rachel,

0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:51.000
<v Speaker 1>before we get started, I do have to say we

0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:54.600
<v Speaker 1>have a very special guest coming in while calling in

0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:58.680
<v Speaker 1>later this afternoon, with the wonderful mister Higgins. He cannot

0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:01.480
<v Speaker 1>get rid of me, which is why we forced him

0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:03.640
<v Speaker 1>onto our podcast today, and so we're so excited to

0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:05.720
<v Speaker 1>break it down with him and to get his point

0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:07.600
<v Speaker 1>of view on this season so far, because I'm sure

0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:10.080
<v Speaker 1>he will have plenty to say. We're gonna have the poke, Ben,

0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:13.680
<v Speaker 1>because you know Ben likes to be straight line, politically correct.

0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:15.679
<v Speaker 1>This is not what this show is about. Okay, it's

0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:17.720
<v Speaker 1>a happy hour, you know, take one back and let's

0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:19.640
<v Speaker 1>get into it. I really want to know what he

0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:22.319
<v Speaker 1>who would he be going for right now if he

0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:25.319
<v Speaker 1>was Peter, because everyone compares the two. They're like Peter's

0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:27.039
<v Speaker 1>a mini Ben, and so I really can't wait to

0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 1>get his take on these ladies and see if he

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:32.480
<v Speaker 1>was in Peter's shoes, who he'd be going for. So

0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:37.760
<v Speaker 1>far before that, we see this episode kickoff and the

0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:41.720
<v Speaker 1>beautiful Santiago Chili. Now, Peter still has ten women remaining,

0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:43.679
<v Speaker 1>and I feel like it's more than that just because

0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:46.760
<v Speaker 1>there's so much drama. So we still have Hannah Ann,

0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:53.120
<v Speaker 1>Kelly Kelsey, Madison McKenna, Natasha Sidney, Tammy, Victoria f and

0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 1>Victoria p. Now again it feels like more than ten. Yeah, no,

0:01:57.840 --> 0:01:59.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm pretty sure you name more than ten people there.

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:03.560
<v Speaker 1>But it starts off with Hannah Anne getting a one

0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:06.920
<v Speaker 1>on one. Now Is that just me or were you like,

0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:09.840
<v Speaker 1>did she already have one? I could have, so I

0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:12.399
<v Speaker 1>would have put money on it. I thought Hannah Ann

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:15.520
<v Speaker 1>already had a date. I honestly don't know what season

0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:17.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm watching. There's just been so much going on there,

0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:20.520
<v Speaker 1>really has maybe because she's stolen him so many times,

0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:23.880
<v Speaker 1>it feels like it's all added up than most of

0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:27.560
<v Speaker 1>these women, that's for sure. Um. I was watching this

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:29.640
<v Speaker 1>and the way it kicks off is so Peter joins

0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:32.520
<v Speaker 1>the girls at a bar, and I don't think on

0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:35.120
<v Speaker 1>when I was on the Bachelor, I don't think we

0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:37.400
<v Speaker 1>ever had a setup like that. We're real, we could

0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:39.400
<v Speaker 1>all just kick it and be out in public and drink,

0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:41.360
<v Speaker 1>and then he just showed up and grabbed someone. So

0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:43.079
<v Speaker 1>I was kind of jealous. I'm like, man, I wish

0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:44.800
<v Speaker 1>I was with these girls right now and what have

0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:48.560
<v Speaker 1>you know? Show up? But um, yeah, he takes Hannah Ann,

0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:51.960
<v Speaker 1>and like you, I feel like we've just seen more

0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:53.960
<v Speaker 1>of her because I think she's just been so confident

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 1>in all the group dates. I mean we've had, we've

0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:59.280
<v Speaker 1>had a lot of model esque dates that she's you know,

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:01.760
<v Speaker 1>kind of stolen the showing because that's that's what she does.

0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:05.679
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I think in my mind this data on

0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:08.640
<v Speaker 1>this city. I think it was a good date. It

0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:10.520
<v Speaker 1>seemed like a normal date. Like there wasn't a ton

0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:13.680
<v Speaker 1>of like glitzingle am in hype, There wasn't any helicopters

0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:17.239
<v Speaker 1>or private concerts. It just seemed very chill. I will

0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:19.360
<v Speaker 1>say that those type of dates I love. They were

0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:22.040
<v Speaker 1>always my favorite dates because it's not there weren't a

0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:24.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of distractions. You now, you weren't doing all these

0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:26.200
<v Speaker 1>crazy things. It's a real life thing. You're exploring this

0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:29.320
<v Speaker 1>new city, this new country with someone you really care about,

0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:32.480
<v Speaker 1>and you're doing it together. I loved those when I

0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:34.000
<v Speaker 1>was on the batchelor, I loved it, and I loved

0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.080
<v Speaker 1>it on the batcherette. And I would always usually take

0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:38.320
<v Speaker 1>someone that I really really wanted to get to know

0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:42.640
<v Speaker 1>on those dates because there's so much time to talk. Yeah,

0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:44.520
<v Speaker 1>and I think that's what he needed from her. I

0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:46.360
<v Speaker 1>think he needed her to just open up and not

0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:48.600
<v Speaker 1>be this like cute girl that's how he's smiling and

0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:53.240
<v Speaker 1>happy all the time, because that's not a relationship. Um yeah,

0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:55.320
<v Speaker 1>so well then that was a bust. If that's what

0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 1>he wanted. That was a bust because then night rolled

0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:01.400
<v Speaker 1>around and she didn't have shit to say. Yeah, I

0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:05.600
<v Speaker 1>just I feel like I still don't know much of her,

0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Like she has this one on one time and there's

0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:12.080
<v Speaker 1>not more. You know, we've seen dates like, for instance,

0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:15.360
<v Speaker 1>with Kelsey where she opened up about her her parents

0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:17.840
<v Speaker 1>divorce and how that kind of like shaped her into

0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:20.240
<v Speaker 1>the woman she is today, or we you know, we've

0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:22.719
<v Speaker 1>always had these stories and now I'm not saying that

0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:25.440
<v Speaker 1>somebody needs like this whole sob story or this life

0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:29.440
<v Speaker 1>changing story, but just something to give us more of

0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:31.680
<v Speaker 1>who they are. And I felt like I didn't get

0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:34.280
<v Speaker 1>that and this was so frustrating. So we've seen her,

0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:36.320
<v Speaker 1>We've seen her. I have all this personality, whether it's

0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:38.839
<v Speaker 1>in front of a camera or walking down a runway,

0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:40.960
<v Speaker 1>which a lot of people say is their issue with

0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Instagram models or models. It's like they have all this personality,

0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:45.800
<v Speaker 1>but then you talk to them in person and there's

0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:51.440
<v Speaker 1>really nothing there, so no offense to anybody. So when

0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:54.000
<v Speaker 1>I when he asked her very direct questions, she cannot

0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:56.360
<v Speaker 1>answer them, And to me, that is a red flag.

0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.480
<v Speaker 1>I saw all the red flags waving all around Hannah

0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:01.520
<v Speaker 1>Ann and her face and then he gets up in

0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:04.920
<v Speaker 1>frustration because he's not getting anything from her, and she

0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:08.920
<v Speaker 1>starts crying and he's like, this is what I needed.

0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:14.440
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, Peter, she hasn't said anything yet unless

0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:17.880
<v Speaker 1>this was edited and we just didn't get it. I

0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:20.640
<v Speaker 1>don't understand because Peter was like, that's what I needed.

0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:23.960
<v Speaker 1>A tear. I mean, was she pinching herself to make

0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:26.720
<v Speaker 1>herself correy? I don't understand what was behind her tears.

0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:30.080
<v Speaker 1>She did not explain that we got nothing from her,

0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:32.760
<v Speaker 1>and he said he got everything he needed, right. I

0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:35.760
<v Speaker 1>think there's a difference that sometimes and I don't want

0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:39.920
<v Speaker 1>to say just men, but people do they confuse like

0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:45.679
<v Speaker 1>emotion and tears for depth. And it goes back to

0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:48.599
<v Speaker 1>us questioning like is Peter asking the right questions with

0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:51.840
<v Speaker 1>these women Like he's it's like he's trying to pull

0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:55.480
<v Speaker 1>teeth to get a straight answer. And my problem with

0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:58.000
<v Speaker 1>not only Hannah Ann, but with some of the other girls,

0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:00.280
<v Speaker 1>and trust me, I'm going to get into this as

0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:02.479
<v Speaker 1>we go on to the next one on one, but

0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:05.640
<v Speaker 1>it seems like they don't truly know what they want

0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:09.680
<v Speaker 1>and what in themselves or in a relationship. Like you

0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:11.640
<v Speaker 1>go on the show and you think you know yourself

0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:13.839
<v Speaker 1>and what you want, and then they're like thrust into

0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:17.400
<v Speaker 1>this spot where you know, it's like a future ahead

0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:19.599
<v Speaker 1>of them and an engagement looming, and they're trying to

0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:22.400
<v Speaker 1>form this relationship and they don't truly know who they

0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:25.560
<v Speaker 1>are and what they want in a partner in a relationship.

0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:28.320
<v Speaker 1>And that's where my frustration is. It's and I'm not

0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:33.440
<v Speaker 1>saying Hannah Ann is immature. I'm not saying, yeah, Kelly

0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:36.320
<v Speaker 1>did say that, but and I don't want to, like

0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:38.919
<v Speaker 1>I want to get to know these people individually to

0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:41.720
<v Speaker 1>say like, Okay, you're immature or mature. I think just

0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:44.400
<v Speaker 1>based upon her age, yes, she's young, a younger girl

0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:46.560
<v Speaker 1>in the group, like she's only twenty three. I'm not

0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:49.880
<v Speaker 1>saying that she's probably not ready because Becka m on

0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:51.960
<v Speaker 1>r Season was only twenty two and she got so

0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:54.760
<v Speaker 1>much Flackford seeming young and immature. But look at her now,

0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:57.159
<v Speaker 1>like she shot out to baby because she's my favorite,

0:06:57.600 --> 0:06:59.839
<v Speaker 1>one of my favorites too, and she's so mature. She

0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:03.080
<v Speaker 1>has a lovely child who just turned one, she has

0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:06.360
<v Speaker 1>another baby on the way, She's in a very loving, committed,

0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:10.440
<v Speaker 1>loyal relationship, a respectful relationship. So she like, I don't

0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:13.560
<v Speaker 1>think the age number always is the problem. It's just

0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:20.160
<v Speaker 1>I think like mindset, and I think Peter's asking for

0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:22.520
<v Speaker 1>something from Hannah Anne, and she thinks he's asking for

0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:25.000
<v Speaker 1>like emotion and tears and something more than just a smile,

0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:27.120
<v Speaker 1>when really he's like, no, I actually want to know

0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:29.480
<v Speaker 1>what you want. Yeah, And she couldn't give it to him.

0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:32.720
<v Speaker 1>She just looked at him. She's perfectly curated. I'm over

0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Hannah Anne. At this point, she gave him nothing. She

0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:37.520
<v Speaker 1>those tears were because she thought she was going to

0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:39.960
<v Speaker 1>go home, point blank period. That's why she couldn't talk

0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:42.200
<v Speaker 1>about what was behind them. She thought she was going home.

0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:45.920
<v Speaker 1>He gives her a rose. A rose. I don't understand why. Again,

0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:48.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm hoping that we miss something, but I don't understand.

0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:49.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't think we did, because I think they would

0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:52.160
<v Speaker 1>have shown it. So I don't get his relationship with

0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:55.400
<v Speaker 1>Hannah Anne. It's very superficial at this point. There seems

0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:57.600
<v Speaker 1>to be no depth. She gave us nothing. I'm onto

0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:00.800
<v Speaker 1>the next person. So well, then go on to the

0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Lovely Group date the telenovela, which I will say was

0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:07.640
<v Speaker 1>probably one of my favorite dates I've seen. I would

0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:10.120
<v Speaker 1>have loved to have been part of this. I just

0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:13.760
<v Speaker 1>it just seemed fun, creative, Like I loved all of

0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:18.320
<v Speaker 1>these girls and their personas because like I mean McKenna

0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:20.320
<v Speaker 1>with the maid, like, poor girl, she cannot get a

0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:24.080
<v Speaker 1>break right now. She wasn't everything, and I wish she

0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:25.560
<v Speaker 1>would have made more of it, like you see her

0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:29.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of in the back Dustine, and I wanted more

0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:32.480
<v Speaker 1>like she could have played that up so incredibly much.

0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:34.920
<v Speaker 1>But some of the girls did great. I will say

0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:38.440
<v Speaker 1>Kelly as the Boila, that was good. It was so

0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:41.000
<v Speaker 1>good and like it was kind of the cringeworthy moments

0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:43.680
<v Speaker 1>where it's like they're talking about like dating. It's just

0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:45.360
<v Speaker 1>like the moments that you love on the show. We're

0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:49.280
<v Speaker 1>in this like telenovella, soap opera. I'm trying to think

0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:52.160
<v Speaker 1>who else, No, they were great. I thought I loved

0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:54.880
<v Speaker 1>dates where we get to see their personalities come out,

0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:57.240
<v Speaker 1>and there's always that one date and usually it's in

0:08:57.280 --> 0:08:58.960
<v Speaker 1>the beginning, but in the middle of it, just to

0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:01.240
<v Speaker 1>see the girls have fun with it and kind of

0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:03.800
<v Speaker 1>just be so light when everything has been so heavy.

0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:06.120
<v Speaker 1>I thought, I thought that that was fun. But I

0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:08.559
<v Speaker 1>guess they were just a little bit too inspired by

0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:12.000
<v Speaker 1>by that telenovella because they took it off the set

0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:16.760
<v Speaker 1>and back into the house with them. Yes, the drama continues. Yeah,

0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:20.120
<v Speaker 1>Peters season just needs to be his own telenovella because

0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:22.400
<v Speaker 1>that's what it feels like. Yeah, and this is what

0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:26.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand, y'all, Like listeners, if you're listening, write

0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:29.160
<v Speaker 1>us in on this, because I don't get how there's

0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:33.120
<v Speaker 1>always the one contestant who falls for this shit, Like

0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:35.920
<v Speaker 1>how do you always get to be the one who's

0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:40.400
<v Speaker 1>talking shit about every single person? And you become that girl?

0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:43.880
<v Speaker 1>Like you see it coming, you watch the show and

0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:45.559
<v Speaker 1>you're like, oh, mate, if I ever go on the

0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:48.600
<v Speaker 1>Bachelor Bachelorette, don't be that girl. And then there's always

0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:50.880
<v Speaker 1>that girl. It happens. I don't know if they're doing

0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:52.600
<v Speaker 1>it because they know they're not going to make it far.

0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:54.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if they're trying to create a storyline.

0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:56.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if they're trying to get to paradise.

0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:59.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand it. I'm upset that it's Tammy. Though

0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.920
<v Speaker 1>at the beginning, Tammy was one of my favorites, and

0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:05.840
<v Speaker 1>she had so much promise and now she's just like

0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:10.000
<v Speaker 1>on a mission to eliminate women and her new victim

0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:13.640
<v Speaker 1>is McKenna. Right yeah, I think it's an easy victim,

0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:16.920
<v Speaker 1>like because McKenna's she's praying on the week at this point,

0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:18.679
<v Speaker 1>right yeah. And I will agree, I had so much

0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:20.800
<v Speaker 1>hope for Tammy, And I said it last week, where

0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:23.040
<v Speaker 1>like I was rooting for her, and in the beginning,

0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:26.199
<v Speaker 1>I think Tammy offered in the beginning, like this great

0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:29.160
<v Speaker 1>combo of a little bit of SaaS and she'll she'll

0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:31.160
<v Speaker 1>say it like it is, but then she still like

0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:33.000
<v Speaker 1>would check in on the girls if they were having

0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:35.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we saw it with Kelsey when Kelsey was

0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:37.240
<v Speaker 1>crying by the pool, she kind of tried to like

0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:39.520
<v Speaker 1>go and what's going on, like talk it through, and

0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:41.600
<v Speaker 1>obviously she didn't get anywhere and we saw how that went.

0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:44.000
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, it's and I don't know if it's like

0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:47.000
<v Speaker 1>she's trying to this is her Batchelor and Paradise interview

0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:49.480
<v Speaker 1>or what where she's just trying to to, you know,

0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:51.920
<v Speaker 1>get to a certain point because she knows, let's be honest,

0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:54.520
<v Speaker 1>she knows it's not her. She knows that Peter and

0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:58.120
<v Speaker 1>her relationship isn't where it needs to be, so it

0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:02.600
<v Speaker 1>continues obviously, And gosh, the part where Peter is trying

0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:04.920
<v Speaker 1>to have this moment with Madison and he's you're just

0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:09.120
<v Speaker 1>hearing the screams from the house above. I'm just like, uh, like,

0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:12.360
<v Speaker 1>the best kind of cockblock moment is right there? Two

0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:17.520
<v Speaker 1>girls fighting. Yeah, Tammy and McKenna. I'm so sorry. It's

0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:19.240
<v Speaker 1>just poor McKenna. That's all. That's all I have to

0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:22.000
<v Speaker 1>say about Ken. Tammy knows exactly what she's doing. But

0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:27.720
<v Speaker 1>the real drama was Victoria. Now, I was proud of Peter.

0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:30.559
<v Speaker 1>This is a proud moment. I was too, because the

0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:33.320
<v Speaker 1>first time that I've seen him be really matter of

0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:37.160
<v Speaker 1>fact about something. I told you, Victoria Pee, there was

0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:39.520
<v Speaker 1>always something that was just a little off to me,

0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:42.480
<v Speaker 1>called it when it comes to her. And I don't

0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:44.920
<v Speaker 1>think I think Peter in the moment, okay, sends a

0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:48.439
<v Speaker 1>lat home. All right, fine, I still got Victoria Pee here.

0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:52.040
<v Speaker 1>I think he went back and really processed what happened

0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.440
<v Speaker 1>and thought about it, because from the moment he sat

0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:57.480
<v Speaker 1>down with her, he was not into hers, not into it,

0:11:57.720 --> 0:11:59.400
<v Speaker 1>not like what we've seen with him and her in

0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:01.400
<v Speaker 1>the past, and I kind of wished he would have

0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:05.480
<v Speaker 1>addressed that. He just kept saying, do you see a future?

0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:07.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't see you as my wife. But I wanted

0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:11.080
<v Speaker 1>him to be more confrontational. I wanted him to say,

0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:12.960
<v Speaker 1>let me tell you why I don't see you as

0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:15.679
<v Speaker 1>my wife, and it's because of how you handled this situation,

0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:18.560
<v Speaker 1>or because I just don't trust you, trust you, And

0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:21.120
<v Speaker 1>that's not what he really did. But I am happy,

0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:23.679
<v Speaker 1>but I'm gonna give it to him. He sent her home, yes,

0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:26.480
<v Speaker 1>and people watching and say, well, oh, he sent a

0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Laya home last week before the Row ceremony. But had

0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:32.600
<v Speaker 1>all of the women not called him out and addressed

0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:35.560
<v Speaker 1>it and told him their frustration and where their hurt was,

0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:37.440
<v Speaker 1>I think he would have kept a layer around. So

0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:40.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad that he finally did this on his own terms.

0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:44.560
<v Speaker 1>I think he needed it. I think that I have, okay,

0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:47.520
<v Speaker 1>my problem now with Victoria Pee and now that I

0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:51.040
<v Speaker 1>have a problem, but I just I felt like, Okay,

0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:55.360
<v Speaker 1>we've seen it season after season where clearly doesn't work out.

0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:57.480
<v Speaker 1>The lead always walks you out. They give you that

0:12:57.559 --> 0:12:59.800
<v Speaker 1>respect to say goodbye. You kind of talk it out.

0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:03.520
<v Speaker 1>You you have that moment. I always have a problem

0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:06.920
<v Speaker 1>where somebody is like better than that and they're like, no,

0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:09.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't need you, I don't need your help. I

0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:12.080
<v Speaker 1>find it. So Chris ran down on my season said

0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:13.319
<v Speaker 1>that to me, I was like, well, walk you out

0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:14.800
<v Speaker 1>even though it's not working out, Like I'm still going

0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:16.960
<v Speaker 1>to respect you, and the time that you put on

0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:19.000
<v Speaker 1>the show. You don't want to walk him out, that's

0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:21.000
<v Speaker 1>that's part of the show. So well I did because

0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:22.440
<v Speaker 1>I wanted him to go so I could go to sleep.

0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:25.480
<v Speaker 1>But that's like, I guess to what And I definitely

0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:27.080
<v Speaker 1>want you to finish your point, But it's kind of like,

0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:29.240
<v Speaker 1>what's so disrespectful into what you're saying. I don't even

0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:30.920
<v Speaker 1>really want to walk you out. It's just like I'm

0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:33.640
<v Speaker 1>trying to be nice, so at least accept me being nice. Yeah,

0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:35.640
<v Speaker 1>and she and we saw like in that moment there

0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:39.480
<v Speaker 1>was that switch where maybe it was like her guard

0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:41.160
<v Speaker 1>went up and it was just a way so she

0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:43.120
<v Speaker 1>doesn't like feel about hurt in that pain in front

0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:46.560
<v Speaker 1>of him. But I just like Peter is still like,

0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:48.360
<v Speaker 1>even though it's not working out, he's still trying to

0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:50.480
<v Speaker 1>respect you. He's still trying to be that gentleman and

0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:52.160
<v Speaker 1>walk you out and see you out and so give

0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:54.480
<v Speaker 1>you that closure a little bit. And in that moment

0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:56.600
<v Speaker 1>you saw something and switch where she's like, I'm not

0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:59.000
<v Speaker 1>having this, like I can walk myself out. She's walking

0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:00.480
<v Speaker 1>in front of him. I don't know it just it

0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:02.720
<v Speaker 1>really rubbed me the wrong way. And we all go

0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:04.520
<v Speaker 1>into this show knowing that there's only going to be

0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:07.040
<v Speaker 1>one and so the odds really aren't probably in your favor.

0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:10.440
<v Speaker 1>So in that instance, I was like, okay, like we're

0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:15.480
<v Speaker 1>seeing a new side to her. Been seeing it. You've

0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:19.040
<v Speaker 1>been calling I really have needless to say. I'm glad

0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:21.920
<v Speaker 1>Victoria Pia's home and it's giving me promise that Peter

0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:25.160
<v Speaker 1>is starting to eliminate the drama and focus on some

0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:27.720
<v Speaker 1>of the more serious relationships, and I think that that's

0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:32.760
<v Speaker 1>the point of the season that we're in. So also,

0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:35.480
<v Speaker 1>when you're in the house, you're starting to reflect on

0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:39.040
<v Speaker 1>who's had one on one date? Where's my relationship with Peter?

0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:42.320
<v Speaker 1>As you're seeing the numbers dwindle down, and you have

0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:44.560
<v Speaker 1>to start thinking, Okay, Tammy hasn't had a one on

0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:46.760
<v Speaker 1>one yet. Tasha hasn't had a one on one yet,

0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:49.760
<v Speaker 1>neither has McKenna, So you know, at this point they're

0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:53.200
<v Speaker 1>kind of like, where do I stand compared to these

0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:56.880
<v Speaker 1>other ones? Right? So then Peter has a chance to

0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:59.560
<v Speaker 1>give another one on one. Doesn't give it to Dammy

0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:04.080
<v Speaker 1>mckenn Natasha. He gives it to Victoria. F Were you shocked?

0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:08.200
<v Speaker 1>I was shocked. I blew my mind when they read

0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:12.320
<v Speaker 1>her name. I was like, what he either sees something

0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:15.840
<v Speaker 1>in her or he's really questioning do I keep her

0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:18.560
<v Speaker 1>around after everything that went down on their very first

0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:21.720
<v Speaker 1>one on one. I just to insert a little bit

0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:26.480
<v Speaker 1>of my experience. I remember on The Bachelor, we Lauren

0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Lauren b had a date with Ari in Paris, and

0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:33.800
<v Speaker 1>the week after she got the second one on one,

0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:35.560
<v Speaker 1>and it was right after my one on one, and

0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:37.560
<v Speaker 1>I remember coming home and I walked into the room

0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:39.360
<v Speaker 1>and all of the girls were like dead silent. It

0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:41.840
<v Speaker 1>was super awkward. I was like, what did I miss?

0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:44.880
<v Speaker 1>And they're like, oh, well, Lauren Lauren got the second

0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:46.520
<v Speaker 1>one on one day and I was like, she just

0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:48.880
<v Speaker 1>had one last week, and in that moment, I was shocked.

0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:51.400
<v Speaker 1>But I was even shocked for this one. I think

0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:54.240
<v Speaker 1>after all of the interaction that I've seen with Peter

0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:58.240
<v Speaker 1>and Victoria f and just like the drama that just

0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:02.760
<v Speaker 1>kind of follows, and like the extra time and care

0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:05.560
<v Speaker 1>and attention and all of this effort Peter seems to

0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:09.000
<v Speaker 1>be putting into her. I would have wanted a break

0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:11.920
<v Speaker 1>if I was him personally. But I don't know what

0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:13.600
<v Speaker 1>it is. And this is what I have all of

0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:16.360
<v Speaker 1>my notes written about. Oh this is this one on

0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:18.400
<v Speaker 1>one day. I'm sure it's the nighttime because not much

0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:21.400
<v Speaker 1>happen in the in the daytime part of it, right,

0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:22.840
<v Speaker 1>like they do their thing whatever. I don't even want

0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:24.360
<v Speaker 1>to get into that. Let's just get into the nighttime

0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:28.240
<v Speaker 1>portion because that's when that's when that's the juicy part.

0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:33.160
<v Speaker 1>That's that isn't. Yes, Like I just don't understand why

0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:36.240
<v Speaker 1>she wasn't. She just did not seem appreciative of the

0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:38.120
<v Speaker 1>date that he gave her a second one and one.

0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:41.840
<v Speaker 1>She did not seem into it and him it's like

0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:45.120
<v Speaker 1>she I feel like she's questioning like where her feelings

0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:48.120
<v Speaker 1>actually are, but she doesn't want to like admit them,

0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:49.960
<v Speaker 1>like maybe I'm not as into you or maybe like

0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:52.960
<v Speaker 1>it's not like there's something off and she she made

0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:54.880
<v Speaker 1>a comment and they wrote it down. Because this is

0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:57.280
<v Speaker 1>what stood out to me the most was I wish

0:16:57.320 --> 0:16:59.600
<v Speaker 1>I knew my issues so that you didn't have to

0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:02.320
<v Speaker 1>deal with them. It's like, then, why did you come

0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:06.240
<v Speaker 1>on the show with the potential? Because Rice was on tour,

0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:09.639
<v Speaker 1>he was gone, he was out of office apparently. But

0:17:09.720 --> 0:17:13.399
<v Speaker 1>it's like, know yourself before coming on the show. Well,

0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:16.199
<v Speaker 1>that could be a theme for several women. But my

0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:20.560
<v Speaker 1>frustration with her I share your same sentiments. I thought

0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:23.879
<v Speaker 1>you are so ungrateful. Yes, there are women sitting in

0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:26.119
<v Speaker 1>this house who have never had a date, and you

0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:28.840
<v Speaker 1>were complaining about getting a date. Now I do a

0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:31.360
<v Speaker 1>second date, a second date. You're right, And I do

0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:33.680
<v Speaker 1>get you saying, oh gosh, he's maybe he's putting you

0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:35.600
<v Speaker 1>on a second day because he doesn't know, but he

0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:39.960
<v Speaker 1>reassured you so many times. She is that girl who

0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:43.200
<v Speaker 1>needs to constantly be told I'm you're pretty, you're great,

0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:46.399
<v Speaker 1>you're wonderful, instead of having that own confidence, which I

0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:49.480
<v Speaker 1>just don't. I just her own confidence. I just don't understand.

0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Actually I do think I understand her. She just doesn't

0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:55.680
<v Speaker 1>know who she is and what she wants. She's all

0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:58.240
<v Speaker 1>over the place. And what I don't understand is, Peter,

0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:00.600
<v Speaker 1>you want a woman who's confident, you want a woman

0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:03.560
<v Speaker 1>who knows who she is. That's what you say you

0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:08.200
<v Speaker 1>liked about Hannah by Victoria f has shown you none

0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:11.840
<v Speaker 1>of that. So again, I don't know what Peter wants

0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:15.560
<v Speaker 1>in a wife because you are constantly having to baby

0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:18.359
<v Speaker 1>her and coddle her and reassure her. As you have said,

0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:21.240
<v Speaker 1>that is exhausting. And that's the only word I can

0:18:21.280 --> 0:18:23.560
<v Speaker 1>think of when I think of their relationship. It's and

0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:25.760
<v Speaker 1>I've never and I've watched the show for a while,

0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:30.400
<v Speaker 1>I've never seen one lead put in so much reassurance

0:18:30.440 --> 0:18:34.359
<v Speaker 1>to someone to the point where it's like that cannot last.

0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Like in my mind, there's no way that that can last.

0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:38.800
<v Speaker 1>Like he's gonna he's gonna get to his breaking point

0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:41.000
<v Speaker 1>and be like, I can't, Like, what else do you

0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:43.119
<v Speaker 1>have to say? Like, and he has said multiple times,

0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:45.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to give you a rose unless I

0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:47.240
<v Speaker 1>see something, unless I feel it, like unless I know.

0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:50.840
<v Speaker 1>And so she keeps getting roses, she keeps getting roses.

0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:55.440
<v Speaker 1>He's giving you you should be more sure because remember

0:18:55.440 --> 0:18:57.840
<v Speaker 1>there's a point in the show where Sidney and um

0:18:58.000 --> 0:19:00.440
<v Speaker 1>Tasha are sitting on the couch and there's saying, oh,

0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:03.199
<v Speaker 1>he really must be into Victoria hockey. Everybody see it,

0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:07.440
<v Speaker 1>but you, you, more than anyone, should know that Peter's

0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:09.560
<v Speaker 1>into you, and not just because of the dates, because

0:19:09.600 --> 0:19:12.520
<v Speaker 1>he's telling you that he's giving you all the reassurance

0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:14.800
<v Speaker 1>that you need. It's so frustrating to watch. I am

0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:17.600
<v Speaker 1>so sick of her. I'm so sick of seeing her cry.

0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:20.280
<v Speaker 1>I am sick of watching her goal on date well,

0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:25.240
<v Speaker 1>and I just it's disrespectful to not be able to

0:19:26.280 --> 0:19:28.800
<v Speaker 1>give Peter answers when he's asking you direct questions. I

0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:30.760
<v Speaker 1>feel like she just keeps saying I don't know, I

0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:32.840
<v Speaker 1>don't know. So it's like, how is Peter going to know?

0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:35.200
<v Speaker 1>He's not a mind reader? But then to get up.

0:19:35.680 --> 0:19:37.360
<v Speaker 1>This isn't the first time we've seen this with her

0:19:37.359 --> 0:19:39.760
<v Speaker 1>on a date. She gets up and she walks away,

0:19:39.920 --> 0:19:42.639
<v Speaker 1>and she cries and she leaves him. And in this process,

0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:44.520
<v Speaker 1>time is of the essence, like you need to make

0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:46.760
<v Speaker 1>the most of it and you can't keep having these

0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:50.720
<v Speaker 1>moments or these these like fits where you you can't

0:19:50.720 --> 0:19:52.879
<v Speaker 1>handle it and you can't handle like answering the questions,

0:19:52.880 --> 0:19:55.359
<v Speaker 1>and you walk away, and she's saying, I don't know

0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:56.800
<v Speaker 1>if I want to be here. I don't know. I

0:19:56.800 --> 0:19:59.280
<v Speaker 1>don't know. And Peter can't even hear that, and he's

0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:02.879
<v Speaker 1>talking to produce and he's saying, I don't know. She

0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:06.479
<v Speaker 1>doesn't want this, so send her home. If you are

0:20:06.560 --> 0:20:08.480
<v Speaker 1>questioning this, it's this late in the process. You have

0:20:08.520 --> 0:20:11.080
<v Speaker 1>so many women who want you. That again shows how

0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:14.280
<v Speaker 1>into her he is. Send her home. Two roses should

0:20:14.280 --> 0:20:16.639
<v Speaker 1>not have been given out on this episode, Hannah, Anne

0:20:16.920 --> 0:20:20.200
<v Speaker 1>and Victoria f It is very clear that if you're

0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:23.880
<v Speaker 1>saying you want these things, these women don't possess those

0:20:23.960 --> 0:20:27.600
<v Speaker 1>qualities from what we've seen. I'm sorry, I just don't understand.

0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:30.840
<v Speaker 1>But what does Peter do? Gives her a rose? Gives

0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:35.399
<v Speaker 1>her a rose, and then and then and then we

0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:39.159
<v Speaker 1>see something that, to my knowledge, I have never seen before,

0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:42.120
<v Speaker 1>no plot twist two on one, which I don't even think.

0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:43.879
<v Speaker 1>We got a two on one in Hannah by season

0:20:44.680 --> 0:20:47.400
<v Speaker 1>a two on one at a cocktail party. I thought

0:20:47.400 --> 0:20:49.880
<v Speaker 1>this was genius. You know what, Thank you, Bachelor producers.

0:20:49.920 --> 0:20:52.080
<v Speaker 1>Let's streamline this process. We don't need a whole damn

0:20:52.160 --> 0:20:54.520
<v Speaker 1>date for this, let's just do it at a cocktail party.

0:20:54.600 --> 0:20:57.560
<v Speaker 1>I will say I would have loved having the two

0:20:57.600 --> 0:20:59.360
<v Speaker 1>on one at a cocktail party. I would You don't

0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:01.320
<v Speaker 1>need a full day, And usually when you pick a

0:21:01.359 --> 0:21:03.119
<v Speaker 1>two on one, you kind of know the two people

0:21:03.280 --> 0:21:06.000
<v Speaker 1>that you're like, m they're probably gonna go home, Like,

0:21:06.080 --> 0:21:08.200
<v Speaker 1>let's be honest, we've seen it happened multiple times where

0:21:08.240 --> 0:21:10.520
<v Speaker 1>both people end up going home, so you I mean,

0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:13.880
<v Speaker 1>I watched it knowing like, Okay, yes he gave McKenna

0:21:13.920 --> 0:21:16.719
<v Speaker 1>the rose, but I was like, she's not sticking around.

0:21:17.160 --> 0:21:21.760
<v Speaker 1>You just you can sense it. And the moment where

0:21:22.440 --> 0:21:24.560
<v Speaker 1>you see the girls, the two girls walk in and

0:21:24.600 --> 0:21:27.119
<v Speaker 1>sit on the couch, I felt like I was watching

0:21:27.119 --> 0:21:29.720
<v Speaker 1>the telenovella once again. I was like, they're gonna start

0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:33.600
<v Speaker 1>like spooning out their scripts, and that's what it felt like.

0:21:33.640 --> 0:21:35.640
<v Speaker 1>I felt like I was transported back to their group

0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:40.000
<v Speaker 1>date because it was just so awkward clearly between them.

0:21:40.040 --> 0:21:43.959
<v Speaker 1>They just like McKenna talks about you know, love, winds

0:21:44.000 --> 0:21:46.840
<v Speaker 1>and kindness and she's stronger and then Tammy's just not

0:21:46.880 --> 0:21:49.280
<v Speaker 1>really saying much at that point, and it was just

0:21:49.320 --> 0:21:52.159
<v Speaker 1>one one big mess, one big two on one mess

0:21:52.320 --> 0:21:55.840
<v Speaker 1>it was. I loved how it was set up. I

0:21:55.880 --> 0:21:59.280
<v Speaker 1>am proud of McKenna for standing up for herself against Tammy,

0:21:59.320 --> 0:22:03.639
<v Speaker 1>because Tammy's Tammy stuff. So I was happy that she

0:22:03.680 --> 0:22:06.280
<v Speaker 1>stood her ground. She said her piece and it worked

0:22:06.280 --> 0:22:08.760
<v Speaker 1>for her. And Peter said, I trust McKenna over Tammy,

0:22:08.800 --> 0:22:10.640
<v Speaker 1>and sant Tammy home. Now this is what was sad

0:22:10.680 --> 0:22:14.480
<v Speaker 1>to me. Tammy made a comment when she was going

0:22:14.520 --> 0:22:17.720
<v Speaker 1>home and said that he just wants a trophy wife

0:22:17.760 --> 0:22:21.120
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not a trophy wife. That hurt me to

0:22:21.160 --> 0:22:25.800
<v Speaker 1>hear Tammy say that because I understood Tammy after once

0:22:25.800 --> 0:22:28.760
<v Speaker 1>she made that comment. I understood her entire actions through

0:22:28.800 --> 0:22:33.200
<v Speaker 1>this entire process. She is extremely insecure. She is confident,

0:22:33.400 --> 0:22:36.639
<v Speaker 1>and she's got her job, and she's ambitious and all

0:22:36.720 --> 0:22:40.000
<v Speaker 1>of that, but she's got some serious insecurities when comparing

0:22:40.000 --> 0:22:42.639
<v Speaker 1>herself to the other women. And she even said, I

0:22:42.680 --> 0:22:46.520
<v Speaker 1>guess he wants that blonde something trophy. It let me

0:22:46.600 --> 0:22:50.720
<v Speaker 1>know that probably growing up she has compared herself to

0:22:50.760 --> 0:22:52.919
<v Speaker 1>women that don't look like her, and she felt like

0:22:52.920 --> 0:22:56.119
<v Speaker 1>a minority in the house, which she is, and she

0:22:56.280 --> 0:22:59.720
<v Speaker 1>felt like I felt like the younger self in her

0:23:00.200 --> 0:23:02.680
<v Speaker 1>coming out when she was making those comments in the car,

0:23:02.680 --> 0:23:04.560
<v Speaker 1>and it was actually really really sad for me to

0:23:04.600 --> 0:23:07.879
<v Speaker 1>watch because I think Tammy is so beautiful and she

0:23:07.960 --> 0:23:11.000
<v Speaker 1>has so much going for and it just seems I

0:23:11.080 --> 0:23:13.040
<v Speaker 1>said this when I was on Next Season, the house

0:23:13.080 --> 0:23:15.199
<v Speaker 1>brings out the best or the worst in year, and

0:23:15.240 --> 0:23:17.040
<v Speaker 1>it seems like it really brought out the worst in

0:23:17.160 --> 0:23:20.720
<v Speaker 1>Tammy and she just fell victim to her insecurity. So

0:23:20.920 --> 0:23:23.320
<v Speaker 1>if Tammy lives inst our podcast, I want her to

0:23:23.359 --> 0:23:27.240
<v Speaker 1>know that you are so beautiful, You are so so

0:23:27.240 --> 0:23:29.399
<v Speaker 1>many things going for You. Don't feel like you have

0:23:29.480 --> 0:23:34.640
<v Speaker 1>to compare yourself to what a stereotypical version of what

0:23:34.720 --> 0:23:37.679
<v Speaker 1>beauty is like. Beauty is so many different things. Beauty

0:23:37.760 --> 0:23:39.720
<v Speaker 1>is in the eye of the beholder, and I want

0:23:39.760 --> 0:23:41.840
<v Speaker 1>her to know that she's a beautiful person. And it

0:23:42.359 --> 0:23:44.400
<v Speaker 1>was so sad for me to sit there and watch

0:23:44.440 --> 0:23:47.919
<v Speaker 1>that Peter didn't send you home because you didn't have

0:23:48.000 --> 0:23:51.160
<v Speaker 1>blonde hair. Peter sent you home because you lost your

0:23:51.160 --> 0:23:53.879
<v Speaker 1>ship in that kind because you had it out for

0:23:54.000 --> 0:23:56.440
<v Speaker 1>the other girls. And in that moment too, it's kind

0:23:56.440 --> 0:23:59.439
<v Speaker 1>of said because she doesn't have to get along and

0:23:59.480 --> 0:24:02.000
<v Speaker 1>she doesn't have to be best friends with the remaining girls, like,

0:24:02.359 --> 0:24:04.679
<v Speaker 1>no one is saying that, but but it kind of

0:24:04.680 --> 0:24:07.840
<v Speaker 1>degrades the other women that are still there, and in

0:24:07.880 --> 0:24:12.120
<v Speaker 1>that moment, it was tough. I will say, though, I

0:24:12.119 --> 0:24:14.200
<v Speaker 1>still have hope for Tammy. I would love to see

0:24:14.240 --> 0:24:16.479
<v Speaker 1>her in Paradise, but like I want her to have

0:24:16.480 --> 0:24:19.320
<v Speaker 1>that redemption story. I want her to maybe form better

0:24:19.359 --> 0:24:22.639
<v Speaker 1>friendships there than she could on this season, because I,

0:24:22.840 --> 0:24:25.160
<v Speaker 1>like you said, I think she kind of spiraled out

0:24:25.200 --> 0:24:27.160
<v Speaker 1>at the very end when she knew it wasn't her.

0:24:28.280 --> 0:24:30.120
<v Speaker 1>So maybe we will, maybe we'll see more of her

0:24:30.160 --> 0:24:33.360
<v Speaker 1>and she can have that redemption story if you want

0:24:33.359 --> 0:24:37.320
<v Speaker 1>to call it that. Yeah, I mean, well, listen, she

0:24:37.320 --> 0:24:40.480
<v Speaker 1>can only go up from here and hopefully that happens

0:24:40.480 --> 0:24:43.280
<v Speaker 1>to her in Paradise with some other Bachelor franchise show

0:24:43.400 --> 0:24:45.560
<v Speaker 1>or just a really over it and just realized I

0:24:45.560 --> 0:24:47.320
<v Speaker 1>don't think she is. I don't think she is at all.

0:24:47.600 --> 0:24:50.720
<v Speaker 1>But we have the rose ceremony, and I was shocked

0:24:50.840 --> 0:24:53.560
<v Speaker 1>by these eliminations. I did, like, I didn't know who

0:24:53.600 --> 0:24:55.480
<v Speaker 1>was on the chopping block. I thought maybe it was Tasha,

0:24:55.560 --> 0:24:57.920
<v Speaker 1>just because Tasha hasn't had a one on one and

0:24:57.960 --> 0:24:59.879
<v Speaker 1>so he hasn't been able to grow his relationship with

0:25:00.160 --> 0:25:01.919
<v Speaker 1>but then he reassures her in that private time, so

0:25:01.960 --> 0:25:04.800
<v Speaker 1>I thought, Okay, my girl, Tasha, she's gonna be safe,

0:25:04.880 --> 0:25:08.680
<v Speaker 1>and she is. But he sends Sydney. I was surprised

0:25:08.720 --> 0:25:11.320
<v Speaker 1>at that one. Now, but we said Sydney and him

0:25:11.359 --> 0:25:13.720
<v Speaker 1>have a physical relationship and it doesn't seem to be much.

0:25:13.800 --> 0:25:16.960
<v Speaker 1>Death seems to be a running theme with several of

0:25:16.960 --> 0:25:19.840
<v Speaker 1>the women here, but obviously that was the case because

0:25:19.840 --> 0:25:23.160
<v Speaker 1>he sends her home. Yes, and that's That's the only

0:25:23.240 --> 0:25:24.879
<v Speaker 1>thing I can think of is that he had this

0:25:25.040 --> 0:25:28.080
<v Speaker 1>moment where he of course, you have to compartmentalize all

0:25:28.080 --> 0:25:31.199
<v Speaker 1>the relationships and tear them out in a way. But

0:25:31.280 --> 0:25:34.680
<v Speaker 1>I think he realized, like, she's beautiful, I'm super attracted

0:25:34.680 --> 0:25:37.000
<v Speaker 1>to her. We have this chemistry, She's this amazing kisser.

0:25:37.040 --> 0:25:40.120
<v Speaker 1>But what's beyond that? And I would love to ask

0:25:40.200 --> 0:25:42.200
<v Speaker 1>him and pick us brand. I can only assume from

0:25:42.240 --> 0:25:44.240
<v Speaker 1>everything that we've saw that that's what it was. But

0:25:44.600 --> 0:25:47.640
<v Speaker 1>hit it and quit it. Sadly, McKenna and Sydney are

0:25:47.640 --> 0:25:53.040
<v Speaker 1>no more. Yeah, girl, girl, I feel sorry for you

0:25:53.080 --> 0:25:56.200
<v Speaker 1>because Peter gave you false hope. But girl, you knew

0:25:56.200 --> 0:25:58.600
<v Speaker 1>you weren't going far past that two on one, right,

0:25:58.640 --> 0:26:00.639
<v Speaker 1>it was the end of the road. I thought he

0:26:00.680 --> 0:26:02.280
<v Speaker 1>was going to cut on both in that two on one,

0:26:02.359 --> 0:26:04.560
<v Speaker 1>to be honest, Yeah, no, no, no, it was It

0:26:04.600 --> 0:26:07.480
<v Speaker 1>was the end of the road, poor McKenna. And it's

0:26:07.520 --> 0:26:09.680
<v Speaker 1>the end of the road for our recap as well.

0:26:10.119 --> 0:26:12.080
<v Speaker 1>So let's get to our cats and rats of the week.

0:26:12.160 --> 0:26:15.760
<v Speaker 1>There are some cats and some rats. Okay, so my

0:26:15.840 --> 0:26:19.640
<v Speaker 1>cat for the week is McKenna. Even though she went home,

0:26:19.800 --> 0:26:23.119
<v Speaker 1>I was really proud to see her stand up for herself.

0:26:23.119 --> 0:26:25.720
<v Speaker 1>I thought what she said when she went home was beautiful.

0:26:27.080 --> 0:26:29.520
<v Speaker 1>She really seems to have found her voice, even though

0:26:29.560 --> 0:26:32.879
<v Speaker 1>it's it's sad because it's late. That was the end.

0:26:32.880 --> 0:26:34.000
<v Speaker 1>That was the last thing we were going to hear

0:26:34.040 --> 0:26:36.480
<v Speaker 1>from her, at least on Peter's season. But I was

0:26:36.520 --> 0:26:39.199
<v Speaker 1>proud of her. I like to see people stand up

0:26:39.240 --> 0:26:42.600
<v Speaker 1>for themselves. And my rat, I mean, it's gotta go

0:26:42.680 --> 0:26:46.639
<v Speaker 1>to it's Tammy. It's Tammy. You know, she lost herself.

0:26:46.640 --> 0:26:49.160
<v Speaker 1>I feel bad again what I said. What I said,

0:26:49.160 --> 0:26:51.960
<v Speaker 1>and imant it, but she really had it in for

0:26:52.080 --> 0:26:55.159
<v Speaker 1>praying on certain people and I didn't like that side

0:26:55.160 --> 0:26:58.000
<v Speaker 1>of her. So I agree. I would agree with both

0:26:58.080 --> 0:27:01.200
<v Speaker 1>of those I would also say, just because he gave

0:27:01.240 --> 0:27:05.040
<v Speaker 1>me some comedic relief. Um my cat was Kelly as

0:27:05.119 --> 0:27:07.760
<v Speaker 1>the a boiler Kelly, because that was good. She she

0:27:07.800 --> 0:27:10.440
<v Speaker 1>did well, she nailed that role. And then my rat,

0:27:10.520 --> 0:27:12.919
<v Speaker 1>I would say, Tammy, it was just as much as

0:27:12.920 --> 0:27:14.920
<v Speaker 1>I wanted her to not be. You know, we saw

0:27:15.000 --> 0:27:16.920
<v Speaker 1>go down, we saw the drama, we saw her kind

0:27:16.920 --> 0:27:20.920
<v Speaker 1>of spiral out. So hopefully again paradise that redemption story.

0:27:20.920 --> 0:27:22.880
<v Speaker 1>I'd love to see some more of her. We used

0:27:22.880 --> 0:27:27.600
<v Speaker 1>to love Tammy, loved Tammy all right, so much hope.

0:27:27.680 --> 0:27:30.679
<v Speaker 1>Let's pour one out for Tammy and McKenna. All right,

0:27:30.800 --> 0:27:34.080
<v Speaker 1>So next week it's looking like it's gonna be good

0:27:34.119 --> 0:27:36.440
<v Speaker 1>these previous ones. Don't you film this week? I mean

0:27:36.440 --> 0:27:39.520

0:27:42.680 --> 0:27:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Garrett were watching the preview together and he's like he's

0:27:45.640 --> 0:27:47.680
<v Speaker 1>literally grabbing my leg and squeezing and they're like, oh

0:27:56.080 --> 0:27:57.879

0:27:57.960 --> 0:28:01.000
<v Speaker 1>know when that's coming. That's gonna be the last episode. Yeah, Becca,

0:28:01.160 --> 0:28:03.359
<v Speaker 1>that was a lot to digest. You had your notes,

0:28:03.520 --> 0:28:05.879
<v Speaker 1>we had opinions, we had an outline. We had a

0:28:05.920 --> 0:28:07.959
<v Speaker 1>lot to get into. But we have been waiting on

0:28:08.000 --> 0:28:14.560
<v Speaker 1>the line. We have the wonderful mister Ben Higgins, Ben welcolcome.

<v Speaker 1>Ben smooth um. Yeah, Beca, I can't shake you. I

0:28:32.600 --> 0:28:34.040
<v Speaker 1>feel like we're gonna be spending a lot of time

0:28:34.080 --> 0:28:37.360
<v Speaker 1>together soon. Yeah, for three three whole months everyone. So

0:28:38.160 --> 0:28:40.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, Ben and I just spent a week together

0:28:40.040 --> 0:28:42.360
<v Speaker 1>in New York doing press for Bachelor Live on stage,

0:28:42.360 --> 0:28:44.720
<v Speaker 1>so we and you know, we've talked about The Bachelor

0:28:44.760 --> 0:28:47.400
<v Speaker 1>at length. So I can't wait to share some of

0:28:47.440 --> 0:28:50.280
<v Speaker 1>the insider tidbits that we've been you know, bouncing off

0:28:50.320 --> 0:28:52.360
<v Speaker 1>of each other and talking about. So here we go.

0:28:52.440 --> 0:28:56.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm just excited to have you here. Oh let's do it. Yeah, Ben,

0:28:56.200 --> 0:28:59.120
<v Speaker 1>don't hold back, Like, let's just get at it. I

0:28:59.400 --> 0:29:02.240
<v Speaker 1>just go there's a lot to talk about this season,

0:29:02.880 --> 0:29:06.080
<v Speaker 1>like off the top, are you enjoying it or not?

0:29:06.400 --> 0:29:10.920
<v Speaker 1>Because I feel like people have mixed reviews about this season. Yeah,

0:29:10.920 --> 0:29:13.480
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I think I've put a lot of

0:29:13.520 --> 0:29:16.560
<v Speaker 1>thought into this in my life, and I think we

0:29:16.560 --> 0:29:20.040
<v Speaker 1>went into this season with insanely high expectations. Peter is

0:29:20.080 --> 0:29:23.080
<v Speaker 1>a good dude, he's a nice guy. We want to

0:29:23.120 --> 0:29:27.000
<v Speaker 1>see him succeed, we want to see him flourish. The

0:29:27.120 --> 0:29:30.800
<v Speaker 1>women from really Week one kind of captivated us because

0:29:31.040 --> 0:29:35.040
<v Speaker 1>they were a little bit dramatic, they had intense storylines,

0:29:35.080 --> 0:29:36.560
<v Speaker 1>and so I think all of us as fans went

0:29:36.560 --> 0:29:38.080
<v Speaker 1>into being like, this is going to be the greatest

0:29:38.080 --> 0:29:41.040
<v Speaker 1>season ever. And I can't say it hasn't been. I

0:29:41.080 --> 0:29:43.760
<v Speaker 1>just don't think we've gotten there yet. We haven't yet

0:29:43.800 --> 0:29:46.960
<v Speaker 1>seen a love story. But I'll tell you this because

0:29:46.960 --> 0:29:48.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to go on and on, I'll keep

0:29:48.560 --> 0:29:51.960
<v Speaker 1>these short. This was the week and I don't know

0:29:52.080 --> 0:29:54.840
<v Speaker 1>exactly why. Maybe we can find out why, but this

0:29:54.920 --> 0:29:57.600
<v Speaker 1>was the week for whatever reason. I'm really excited to

0:29:58.080 --> 0:29:59.840
<v Speaker 1>watch next weeks Like this is the first time I've

0:29:59.840 --> 0:30:01.840
<v Speaker 1>been Oh, I can't wait till next week's come out.

0:30:01.880 --> 0:30:04.640
<v Speaker 1>I hadn't had that feeling yet, but after these two episodes,

0:30:05.120 --> 0:30:07.280
<v Speaker 1>now I'm on edge waiting for that next episode to

0:30:07.280 --> 0:30:11.360
<v Speaker 1>come out. Before before we keep going, I think someone's

0:30:11.400 --> 0:30:14.000
<v Speaker 1>really upset that we didn't introduce them. We do have

0:30:14.040 --> 0:30:17.239
<v Speaker 1>another co host here as well, Minno is joining us

0:30:17.240 --> 0:30:20.440
<v Speaker 1>in bastlor Happy Hour, and Minno we apologize. That's why

0:30:20.480 --> 0:30:22.680
<v Speaker 1>she continues to bark because we did not acknowledge her

0:30:22.720 --> 0:30:26.600
<v Speaker 1>presence in the podcast. So Minno, we Minno, don't worry.

0:30:26.640 --> 0:30:30.160
<v Speaker 1>You will have your shine. Yeah, she's a diva, she

0:30:30.280 --> 0:30:33.280
<v Speaker 1>needs to be heard. But but Ben, so going into

0:30:33.320 --> 0:30:37.480
<v Speaker 1>this season, I think people I think, you know, we're

0:30:37.480 --> 0:30:40.120
<v Speaker 1>excited to see Peter, but for a specific reason and

0:30:40.200 --> 0:30:44.680
<v Speaker 1>because they say Peter is much like a younger version

0:30:44.680 --> 0:30:49.720
<v Speaker 1>of Ben Higgins. And I think I think people saw

0:30:49.760 --> 0:30:52.160
<v Speaker 1>that because you guys are both very sweet. You just

0:30:52.400 --> 0:30:55.280
<v Speaker 1>seem to have big hearts and kind souls. I think

0:30:55.360 --> 0:30:57.320
<v Speaker 1>from the more that I get to know you and

0:30:57.360 --> 0:30:59.040
<v Speaker 1>the more that I get to see of Peter, I

0:30:59.040 --> 0:31:02.160
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't necessary agree. I think you guys handle things very

0:31:02.240 --> 0:31:06.840
<v Speaker 1>very differently. But I talking about this week and I

0:31:06.920 --> 0:31:09.719
<v Speaker 1>just think, like, Okay, if Ben was now in Peter's shoes,

0:31:10.000 --> 0:31:13.160
<v Speaker 1>what would he do, who would he gravitate towards? How

0:31:13.160 --> 0:31:16.280
<v Speaker 1>would he handle the drama? And so putting yourself in

0:31:16.280 --> 0:31:18.480
<v Speaker 1>Peter's position this season, so you had this whole new

0:31:18.480 --> 0:31:21.080
<v Speaker 1>group of girls, how would you handle some of this

0:31:21.160 --> 0:31:25.040
<v Speaker 1>conflict and drama that's going on? Good question. Well, I've

0:31:25.040 --> 0:31:27.960
<v Speaker 1>always said, you know, it's it's great. I think one

0:31:28.040 --> 0:31:29.960
<v Speaker 1>thing that Peter and I have in common, and I

0:31:30.000 --> 0:31:33.680
<v Speaker 1>think what you and Rachel had in common also based

0:31:33.680 --> 0:31:35.480
<v Speaker 1>on your successes. I think we all went into it

0:31:35.560 --> 0:31:39.720
<v Speaker 1>knowing what this is. Right. It's it's an experience, one

0:31:39.760 --> 0:31:42.800
<v Speaker 1>that will have ups and downs, one that at times

0:31:42.840 --> 0:31:45.040
<v Speaker 1>will be dramatic and I'll make you want to pull

0:31:45.120 --> 0:31:48.840
<v Speaker 1>your hair, but ultimately, at the end of it, something

0:31:48.880 --> 0:31:51.640
<v Speaker 1>good could happen, Like this could really shake up life

0:31:51.640 --> 0:31:54.280
<v Speaker 1>in a beautiful way, especially if you find your partner.

0:31:54.800 --> 0:31:57.640
<v Speaker 1>And I think all four of us in that we're

0:31:57.640 --> 0:31:59.680
<v Speaker 1>speaking of right now had that in common. And I

0:31:59.680 --> 0:32:01.560
<v Speaker 1>think if you have that, you're off to a good start.

0:32:01.600 --> 0:32:03.440
<v Speaker 1>I think the second thing is the mark of a

0:32:03.440 --> 0:32:07.400
<v Speaker 1>good bachelorat or bachelor, is how you handle conflict. Because

0:32:07.440 --> 0:32:10.920
<v Speaker 1>conflict is kind of unseen a lot of times it's

0:32:11.000 --> 0:32:13.840
<v Speaker 1>unexpected on this show. The one thing that we could

0:32:13.920 --> 0:32:16.440
<v Speaker 1>knock Peter for is not how kind he's being, which

0:32:16.480 --> 0:32:20.200
<v Speaker 1>is super which is super important here, or not how

0:32:20.280 --> 0:32:23.600
<v Speaker 1>much he respects the women, which he obviously does. It's

0:32:23.640 --> 0:32:26.479
<v Speaker 1>the one knock on Peter and I would say assume

0:32:26.560 --> 0:32:30.560
<v Speaker 1>is he hasn't confronted the conflict to get rid of it. Instead,

0:32:30.600 --> 0:32:33.080
<v Speaker 1>he's just kind of perpetuating the inevitable, which is that

0:32:33.120 --> 0:32:34.720
<v Speaker 1>it's going to continue to get bigger and bigger and

0:32:34.720 --> 0:32:36.680
<v Speaker 1>bigger until he has to put his foot down. He

0:32:36.680 --> 0:32:41.080
<v Speaker 1>just doesn't have another option, and I'm hoping that over

0:32:41.200 --> 0:32:43.880
<v Speaker 1>time we see him get better and better at that

0:32:44.280 --> 0:32:45.680
<v Speaker 1>to ultimately get him where he wants to be at

0:32:45.680 --> 0:32:47.840
<v Speaker 1>the end. But how I would handle this To answer

0:32:47.880 --> 0:32:51.160
<v Speaker 1>your question, I think anytime conflict came up during my

0:32:51.280 --> 0:32:56.200
<v Speaker 1>time on the show, immediately as soon as there is drama,

0:32:56.280 --> 0:32:58.640
<v Speaker 1>as soon as somebody said somebody's acting a certain way,

0:32:58.680 --> 0:33:01.680
<v Speaker 1>as soon as you heard an argument going on, my

0:33:01.720 --> 0:33:03.800
<v Speaker 1>first reaction was to always try to pull away from

0:33:03.840 --> 0:33:07.040
<v Speaker 1>it and analyze it, think about it, process it, put

0:33:07.040 --> 0:33:09.520
<v Speaker 1>the pieces together so that I'm not just running into

0:33:09.560 --> 0:33:12.000
<v Speaker 1>what everybody's saying or I'm not just running into the argument.

0:33:12.560 --> 0:33:14.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm able to take a step back and look at

0:33:14.320 --> 0:33:17.600
<v Speaker 1>the situation as a whole and try at that point

0:33:17.680 --> 0:33:21.000
<v Speaker 1>then to navigate it to some place of healthiness. But

0:33:21.200 --> 0:33:24.240
<v Speaker 1>in healthiness to me was just peace, peacefulness in the house.

0:33:24.320 --> 0:33:28.080
<v Speaker 1>But I think right now Peter's one thing is he's

0:33:28.080 --> 0:33:30.560
<v Speaker 1>just kind of running straightforward into it and then once

0:33:30.560 --> 0:33:32.520
<v Speaker 1>he gets into it, it's impossible to get out instead

0:33:32.520 --> 0:33:35.960
<v Speaker 1>of pulling away and analyzing the whole situation. One thing

0:33:36.160 --> 0:33:38.600
<v Speaker 1>I want to ask you this Ben, as you know

0:33:38.680 --> 0:33:41.000
<v Speaker 1>the mail on the line, and then Rich ask you

0:33:41.040 --> 0:33:44.680
<v Speaker 1>this too. So when I was about Surette, you know

0:33:44.720 --> 0:33:47.360
<v Speaker 1>it didn't happen all that often that this came up.

0:33:47.400 --> 0:33:50.120
<v Speaker 1>But you know, there's always the moments where someone will

0:33:50.120 --> 0:33:52.360
<v Speaker 1>come to you and and talk about someone else. They'll say, well,

0:33:52.400 --> 0:33:55.280
<v Speaker 1>so and so did this, or they said that. It's

0:33:55.360 --> 0:33:59.080
<v Speaker 1>happening so much with Peter. I think every conversation he

0:33:59.120 --> 0:34:01.600
<v Speaker 1>has with the girls talking about someone else, and for me,

0:34:02.440 --> 0:34:05.080
<v Speaker 1>that is just personally a huge turn off. And I

0:34:05.120 --> 0:34:07.040
<v Speaker 1>want to know for you, when you were the Bachelor,

0:34:07.080 --> 0:34:09.759
<v Speaker 1>if that happened, did you take it as okay? This

0:34:09.840 --> 0:34:12.279
<v Speaker 1>girl's kind of you know, telling on this other girl

0:34:12.320 --> 0:34:14.759
<v Speaker 1>and found it immature or did you appreciate it to

0:34:14.840 --> 0:34:17.440
<v Speaker 1>kind of know what was going on and figure it

0:34:17.480 --> 0:34:19.680
<v Speaker 1>out for yourself, Because when that would happen, I was like, Ah,

0:34:19.760 --> 0:34:24.360
<v Speaker 1>don't waste your time talking about someone else to me. Yeah, Rachel,

0:34:24.400 --> 0:34:25.919
<v Speaker 1>I really want to hear your thoughts here. But I'll

0:34:25.960 --> 0:34:31.600
<v Speaker 1>say this, I you know, and this is going to

0:34:31.680 --> 0:34:33.600
<v Speaker 1>get super Just deal with me here for a second.

0:34:33.600 --> 0:34:35.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm not trying to get super Christian ease on you here,

0:34:35.920 --> 0:34:37.680
<v Speaker 1>but I'm going to have to. So I have a

0:34:37.760 --> 0:34:40.920
<v Speaker 1>principle in my life that I try to stick by.

0:34:41.040 --> 0:34:42.880
<v Speaker 1>Do a terrible job at it, but I try to.

0:34:43.520 --> 0:34:46.560
<v Speaker 1>And it's to not murder somebody's name when you're talking

0:34:46.920 --> 0:34:49.560
<v Speaker 1>about them to somebody else, Like it is really important

0:34:49.880 --> 0:34:52.680
<v Speaker 1>to allow them into the conversation when you have conflict

0:34:52.840 --> 0:34:55.160
<v Speaker 1>or when you have an issue with somebody. And I

0:34:55.160 --> 0:34:57.520
<v Speaker 1>believe the same thing principle goes to who I want

0:34:57.600 --> 0:35:01.040
<v Speaker 1>my partner, like Jessica for example, right now, there has

0:35:01.080 --> 0:35:03.319
<v Speaker 1>probably been there. I don't think there has been an

0:35:03.320 --> 0:35:05.960
<v Speaker 1>occasion that I can think of in our year together

0:35:06.320 --> 0:35:08.520
<v Speaker 1>that she has came to me kind of bad mouthing

0:35:08.600 --> 0:35:10.560
<v Speaker 1>somebody else she might come to me and say, man,

0:35:10.600 --> 0:35:13.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm just frustrated. I don't get it. You know this person,

0:35:13.360 --> 0:35:14.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm just not understanding them. I feel like we're not

0:35:14.960 --> 0:35:17.040
<v Speaker 1>in the same page. But there's never been this. That

0:35:17.080 --> 0:35:20.520
<v Speaker 1>girl's crazy, like that girl's whacked out, Like that's never

0:35:21.040 --> 0:35:22.960
<v Speaker 1>something that comes through her mouth. And I love that

0:35:23.000 --> 0:35:24.839
<v Speaker 1>about her because it allows me to love that other

0:35:24.880 --> 0:35:27.399
<v Speaker 1>person and respect the other person more. And so when

0:35:27.400 --> 0:35:29.600
<v Speaker 1>that would happen on the show, I don't really love it.

0:35:29.719 --> 0:35:31.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't get it. I don't like it, and it

0:35:31.480 --> 0:35:34.000
<v Speaker 1>feels like it's setting that other person back without them

0:35:34.000 --> 0:35:37.040
<v Speaker 1>ever having a chance to explain themselves in me. So basically,

0:35:37.040 --> 0:35:39.120
<v Speaker 1>you don't like the season, because that is the whole season.

0:35:39.480 --> 0:35:41.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gonna go ahead and put words in your

0:35:41.160 --> 0:35:43.960
<v Speaker 1>mouth because we Rachel you your spot. I mean not

0:35:44.080 --> 0:35:45.719
<v Speaker 1>that I don't like the season. Now, I watch this

0:35:45.760 --> 0:35:49.319
<v Speaker 1>season because I'm entertained, like very entertaining. Yes, it's like

0:35:49.360 --> 0:35:53.839
<v Speaker 1>your Housewives, and I'm a fan. I like, I appreciate

0:35:53.880 --> 0:35:57.480
<v Speaker 1>the cattiness, but I feel bad for Peter. That's it. Yeah,

0:35:57.520 --> 0:35:59.000
<v Speaker 1>So like I'm not going to say I don't like

0:35:59.040 --> 0:36:02.320
<v Speaker 1>this season as which just like I feel bad for Peter.

0:36:03.840 --> 0:36:07.920
<v Speaker 1>Quite honestly, this is my take. I don't think there's

0:36:08.280 --> 0:36:13.120
<v Speaker 1>and if unless Victoria comes through and shows herself to

0:36:13.200 --> 0:36:16.280
<v Speaker 1>be like just or Hannah An maybe still which Victoria,

0:36:16.320 --> 0:36:18.319
<v Speaker 1>if there's any other women there that I'm looking at

0:36:18.360 --> 0:36:20.680
<v Speaker 1>being like you've shown yourself to be, you know, a

0:36:20.719 --> 0:36:24.839
<v Speaker 1>partner for Peter. Oh, I'm entertained. But as somebody's been

0:36:24.880 --> 0:36:26.960
<v Speaker 1>in the show before and somebody really likes Peter and

0:36:27.000 --> 0:36:30.600
<v Speaker 1>wants to see this like go well for him, and

0:36:30.760 --> 0:36:34.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm frustrated it's awkward to watch. I don't think I

0:36:34.040 --> 0:36:35.880
<v Speaker 1>would want to be in the situation, you know. I

0:36:35.920 --> 0:36:39.040
<v Speaker 1>will say though, I think Madison is a top contender.

0:36:39.080 --> 0:36:41.759
<v Speaker 1>I think she's the first one who had the very

0:36:41.800 --> 0:36:46.239
<v Speaker 1>first day with him, and now she's kind of fallen off,

0:36:46.760 --> 0:36:48.839
<v Speaker 1>fallen off the radar a little bit, but I think

0:36:48.880 --> 0:36:51.560
<v Speaker 1>that's only because they're kind of hiding not hiding her,

0:36:51.800 --> 0:36:53.920
<v Speaker 1>but a little bit removed from the drama. But I

0:36:53.960 --> 0:36:57.000
<v Speaker 1>think when they're together it's something really special. And she's

0:36:57.040 --> 0:36:59.280
<v Speaker 1>the only one right now that I could really see

0:36:59.680 --> 0:37:01.839
<v Speaker 1>wife potential. No no, Ben, when you and I were

0:37:01.840 --> 0:37:03.480
<v Speaker 1>in New York together, we were kind of saying like,

0:37:03.520 --> 0:37:05.640
<v Speaker 1>it's really tough to see someone for him right now,

0:37:05.640 --> 0:37:08.399
<v Speaker 1>and it's really tough to see a bachelor at lead

0:37:08.480 --> 0:37:10.160
<v Speaker 1>come from this group of girls right now. It's just

0:37:10.239 --> 0:37:13.200
<v Speaker 1>it's hard to picture only because we haven't gotten to

0:37:13.239 --> 0:37:16.319
<v Speaker 1>know them. For them, it's been so much around the drama.

0:37:16.400 --> 0:37:19.080
<v Speaker 1>But I think Madison is one that, yes, she's kind

0:37:19.080 --> 0:37:22.080
<v Speaker 1>of hidden and she's not in the limelight and the

0:37:22.200 --> 0:37:24.560
<v Speaker 1>drama and the craziness right now, but I think that

0:37:24.920 --> 0:37:28.360
<v Speaker 1>there's something there between them, and you know, we just

0:37:28.400 --> 0:37:30.560
<v Speaker 1>haven't been allowed to see it because of all of

0:37:30.560 --> 0:37:34.480
<v Speaker 1>the cattiness going on. Question. I always forget about Madison.

0:37:34.560 --> 0:37:37.440
<v Speaker 1>You always always I always say this like Victorian Hannah,

0:37:37.440 --> 0:37:39.879
<v Speaker 1>and and then somebody always goes, what about Madison. I'm like, oh, yeah,

0:37:39.880 --> 0:37:42.319
<v Speaker 1>that works. She's great. Um, we just haven't seen her.

0:37:42.360 --> 0:37:44.959
<v Speaker 1>And Brian, if you're not messy, you're not getting sane.

0:37:45.120 --> 0:37:48.600
<v Speaker 1>That's kind of theme the theme this season, right Like,

0:37:48.719 --> 0:37:51.839
<v Speaker 1>as far as far as the women are concerned. Question, though,

0:37:52.200 --> 0:37:56.719
<v Speaker 1>we talked about Peter's conflict resolution or the lack thereof,

0:37:57.280 --> 0:37:59.080
<v Speaker 1>and it doesn't just seem to be just with Peter.

0:37:59.120 --> 0:38:00.920
<v Speaker 1>It seems to be with the women as well, because

0:38:01.160 --> 0:38:03.319
<v Speaker 1>they don't seem to be able to get along. There's

0:38:03.320 --> 0:38:07.360
<v Speaker 1>just mean girls. Right now. Here's my thing, I think,

0:38:07.520 --> 0:38:09.799
<v Speaker 1>and I know Peter. I get to speak with him.

0:38:10.760 --> 0:38:12.799
<v Speaker 1>I think he's a really nice dude, and I think

0:38:12.840 --> 0:38:15.000
<v Speaker 1>he really cares about this experience, and I think he

0:38:15.040 --> 0:38:17.520
<v Speaker 1>really wants to see at work. I don't think he's

0:38:17.560 --> 0:38:20.719
<v Speaker 1>great at conflict. I don't think he expected so much conflict.

0:38:21.800 --> 0:38:23.879
<v Speaker 1>The one thing that Peter has is he walked into

0:38:23.920 --> 0:38:26.000
<v Speaker 1>this this thinking this was going to be like a

0:38:26.040 --> 0:38:28.640
<v Speaker 1>really magical like experience, and I hope it is at

0:38:28.640 --> 0:38:31.399
<v Speaker 1>the end, but we all know that's not really nice

0:38:31.440 --> 0:38:35.200
<v Speaker 1>while you're in it. It's not magical. It sucks sometimes,

0:38:35.200 --> 0:38:37.200
<v Speaker 1>but it's not real life. And I know he came

0:38:37.239 --> 0:38:39.239
<v Speaker 1>to you to seek advice, and I don't know if

0:38:39.239 --> 0:38:41.200
<v Speaker 1>you told him that or not. But I think the

0:38:41.239 --> 0:38:43.480
<v Speaker 1>beauty the gifts in the Curse of Peter is that

0:38:43.520 --> 0:38:47.200
<v Speaker 1>he is so optimistic that it's beautiful for this type

0:38:47.200 --> 0:38:51.000
<v Speaker 1>of experience, but then he's not realistic about how this

0:38:51.080 --> 0:38:54.879
<v Speaker 1>experience can also be. And I think that it's there's

0:38:54.920 --> 0:38:57.000
<v Speaker 1>something that you said, Oh, you brought up a really

0:38:57.000 --> 0:38:59.600
<v Speaker 1>good point about him not asking the right questions I

0:38:59.640 --> 0:39:01.560
<v Speaker 1>think that's true, and that's a huge red flag for

0:39:01.640 --> 0:39:03.960
<v Speaker 1>me when it comes to this season, because to be

0:39:04.200 --> 0:39:07.800
<v Speaker 1>successful at the end of this you have to ask

0:39:07.880 --> 0:39:11.280
<v Speaker 1>the right questions. Right If you're not asking those things,

0:39:11.280 --> 0:39:14.960
<v Speaker 1>how are you preparing? Because I feel like no offense

0:39:15.040 --> 0:39:17.600
<v Speaker 1>been But I feel like where the men really suck

0:39:17.640 --> 0:39:21.279
<v Speaker 1>at this is that you guys get caught up in

0:39:21.320 --> 0:39:23.080
<v Speaker 1>the world that you're in when you're on the show,

0:39:23.560 --> 0:39:25.919
<v Speaker 1>and that you don't think about how does this work

0:39:25.960 --> 0:39:28.839
<v Speaker 1>in real life? And I'm using general, not saying you specifically,

0:39:29.120 --> 0:39:31.400
<v Speaker 1>And that's my fear with Peter. He is so caught

0:39:31.480 --> 0:39:33.560
<v Speaker 1>up in this that are you thinking and asking the

0:39:33.600 --> 0:39:36.440
<v Speaker 1>right questions of how this can work in real life?

0:39:37.200 --> 0:39:39.560
<v Speaker 1>That is why I'm afraid now that he won't be

0:39:39.600 --> 0:39:42.520
<v Speaker 1>successful on this show. When I said before he was gonna,

0:39:42.920 --> 0:39:45.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, like have five women that he's into it,

0:39:45.040 --> 0:39:48.240
<v Speaker 1>and it does seem that way, but it's not looking

0:39:48.280 --> 0:39:50.640
<v Speaker 1>too good and he doesn't have a good crop of

0:39:50.640 --> 0:39:53.480
<v Speaker 1>women to choose from. Sorry, people are going to say

0:39:53.480 --> 0:39:55.360
<v Speaker 1>that I'm not supporting women when I say that, but

0:39:55.520 --> 0:39:59.279
<v Speaker 1>I mean, but I agree, like the drama is distracting

0:39:59.400 --> 0:40:01.600
<v Speaker 1>him to get to ask the right questions, like he

0:40:01.640 --> 0:40:03.920
<v Speaker 1>hasn't just sat down and been like, Okay, I like

0:40:04.040 --> 0:40:06.160
<v Speaker 1>you like me? Like how? Like where are you from?

0:40:06.200 --> 0:40:08.200
<v Speaker 1>How do our lives combine after this? Like what are

0:40:08.200 --> 0:40:10.040
<v Speaker 1>you looking for in your career after this? If if

0:40:10.080 --> 0:40:12.600
<v Speaker 1>we'd end up together? And I will say, just from

0:40:12.600 --> 0:40:15.440
<v Speaker 1>my experience, especially when I was on The Bachelor, that

0:40:15.480 --> 0:40:19.520
<v Speaker 1>didn't come until my second, I think second or third

0:40:19.840 --> 0:40:22.240
<v Speaker 1>one on one with Ari, when we were finally alone

0:40:22.239 --> 0:40:24.200
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, Okay, this is now getting serious.

0:40:24.480 --> 0:40:26.520
<v Speaker 1>And Peter is just not allowed to get to that

0:40:26.560 --> 0:40:29.520
<v Speaker 1>point because of all of this chaos going on about

0:40:30.080 --> 0:40:35.759
<v Speaker 1>champagne bottles and ex boyfriends and all of the all

0:40:35.840 --> 0:40:39.120
<v Speaker 1>the things. Do you think Ben has been sorry? I

0:40:39.239 --> 0:40:43.600
<v Speaker 1>did it? Ben? Peter been to point in Do you

0:40:43.719 --> 0:40:47.399
<v Speaker 1>think Peter is a good judge of character? I think

0:40:47.400 --> 0:40:49.320
<v Speaker 1>it's do I think he's a good judge of character

0:40:50.200 --> 0:40:52.719
<v Speaker 1>in life? I do think he is. I think he

0:40:52.880 --> 0:40:55.640
<v Speaker 1>is in when in this experience I think your spot

0:40:55.640 --> 0:40:58.319
<v Speaker 1>on Rachel where he's caught up. I think it's hard

0:40:58.360 --> 0:41:01.680
<v Speaker 1>to judge character at all when you're not being able

0:41:01.719 --> 0:41:04.799
<v Speaker 1>to ask those questions, when every conversation we see is

0:41:04.800 --> 0:41:08.040
<v Speaker 1>focused on somebody else and and this was not a

0:41:08.120 --> 0:41:10.720
<v Speaker 1>small moment for me. I think it happened in episode five,

0:41:10.840 --> 0:41:13.279
<v Speaker 1>and I believe it was with Sydney. I don't know

0:41:13.280 --> 0:41:16.400
<v Speaker 1>if for certain, but there's this conversation that he was

0:41:16.440 --> 0:41:19.120
<v Speaker 1>having with her, and she said to him, Peter, you

0:41:19.200 --> 0:41:22.680
<v Speaker 1>don't know me and I don't know you, and you

0:41:22.719 --> 0:41:24.759
<v Speaker 1>don't see that this far in the season. Quite often,

0:41:24.800 --> 0:41:26.960
<v Speaker 1>I would say the first four weeks are like survival

0:41:26.960 --> 0:41:30.080
<v Speaker 1>of the fittest, like just try to stay around, and

0:41:30.120 --> 0:41:33.000
<v Speaker 1>then after that you really do start to know the

0:41:33.080 --> 0:41:36.400
<v Speaker 1>other people or the people within the group. And I

0:41:36.440 --> 0:41:40.200
<v Speaker 1>think she was speaking to something like every cocktail party,

0:41:40.800 --> 0:41:44.440
<v Speaker 1>every group date, every time, like there is a moment

0:41:44.440 --> 0:41:47.560
<v Speaker 1>for us to get together, there's something that pulls you away,

0:41:47.719 --> 0:41:49.879
<v Speaker 1>something else on your mind, something else that you're trying

0:41:49.880 --> 0:41:53.760
<v Speaker 1>to work through. Because this whole thing is so chaotic.

0:41:53.800 --> 0:41:57.200
<v Speaker 1>There's so many different storylines going on of drama right

0:41:57.239 --> 0:41:59.960
<v Speaker 1>now that I don't know, to go back to your

0:42:00.080 --> 0:42:02.879
<v Speaker 1>question if he's had the chance to judge character or

0:42:02.880 --> 0:42:06.279
<v Speaker 1>even get to start those questions that point to who

0:42:06.360 --> 0:42:10.319
<v Speaker 1>somebody is, because there's never like getting to we don't

0:42:10.400 --> 0:42:12.880
<v Speaker 1>know one person from this show very well, yet not

0:42:13.000 --> 0:42:15.640
<v Speaker 1>one I would argue that we haven't had one like

0:42:15.760 --> 0:42:18.879
<v Speaker 1>contestant that we are like all rooting for right now

0:42:20.560 --> 0:42:22.600
<v Speaker 1>after someone on once. But can't you say that that

0:42:22.640 --> 0:42:24.960
<v Speaker 1>means that he's kind of not a good judge because

0:42:24.960 --> 0:42:29.759
<v Speaker 1>he is keeping the drama around, like he can't get

0:42:29.800 --> 0:42:33.319
<v Speaker 1>to the root of it, of the person who could

0:42:33.320 --> 0:42:36.960
<v Speaker 1>potentially be his wife, because he is keeping these people around.

0:42:37.000 --> 0:42:39.919
<v Speaker 1>Like if I'm a female in that house, I would

0:42:39.920 --> 0:42:43.400
<v Speaker 1>be questioning Peter at this point like why are they here? Oh?

0:42:43.400 --> 0:42:45.640
<v Speaker 1>Why is she here? It's, you know the same way

0:42:45.640 --> 0:42:48.520
<v Speaker 1>people did with Hannah Bright and Luke pe why is

0:42:48.560 --> 0:42:50.359
<v Speaker 1>he here? I'm starting to look at you and say,

0:42:50.400 --> 0:42:51.960
<v Speaker 1>you know what, maybe you're not the best judge of

0:42:51.960 --> 0:42:54.600
<v Speaker 1>the character. Yeah, And I would question and and we've

0:42:54.640 --> 0:42:57.560
<v Speaker 1>seen the girls like, well, he's keeping so and so around,

0:42:57.960 --> 0:43:02.400
<v Speaker 1>But she's completely different from I am. She's immature, she's

0:43:02.719 --> 0:43:05.319
<v Speaker 1>fixated on some sort of drama. I would question, like

0:43:05.320 --> 0:43:07.120
<v Speaker 1>what is he looking for? Like what is his type?

0:43:07.160 --> 0:43:11.320
<v Speaker 1>What does he wanting a partner right now? It's confusing

0:43:11.360 --> 0:43:13.759
<v Speaker 1>for us viewers. Kelly said it, That's why I'm like,

0:43:13.840 --> 0:43:17.000
<v Speaker 1>I am Kelly, Kelly is me? Kelly's like listen I'm

0:43:17.040 --> 0:43:19.279
<v Speaker 1>different from the women that are you know, I'm just

0:43:19.640 --> 0:43:21.319
<v Speaker 1>in a different space in my life. And I think

0:43:21.640 --> 0:43:25.759
<v Speaker 1>that that's why she seems so disinterested, because there's just

0:43:25.840 --> 0:43:27.799
<v Speaker 1>such a disconnect with her and the other women in

0:43:27.800 --> 0:43:30.759
<v Speaker 1>the household versus how she is in real life, which

0:43:30.840 --> 0:43:32.560
<v Speaker 1>makes me think of this been when it comes to

0:43:32.600 --> 0:43:35.359
<v Speaker 1>the franchise. I'm gonna get real general, big picture here,

0:43:37.520 --> 0:43:41.200
<v Speaker 1>looking at the past few seasons and seeing where we

0:43:41.239 --> 0:43:43.600
<v Speaker 1>are now. I know Becca and I've talked about this,

0:43:43.640 --> 0:43:46.480
<v Speaker 1>and I bet you and Becca have too. We feel

0:43:46.520 --> 0:43:50.759
<v Speaker 1>so far removed. Things just seem so different than when

0:43:50.800 --> 0:43:53.040
<v Speaker 1>we were on the show. And the only thing that

0:43:53.080 --> 0:43:55.839
<v Speaker 1>I can attribute that to are the people that are

0:43:55.880 --> 0:43:59.719
<v Speaker 1>coming on this show. So do you are you fearful

0:44:00.440 --> 0:44:06.880
<v Speaker 1>for the franchise? I think the longevity of cable television

0:44:06.920 --> 0:44:10.480
<v Speaker 1>in general, we should be a little bit. Ben. I'm

0:44:10.480 --> 0:44:12.560
<v Speaker 1>not going to let you that is the most politically

0:44:12.880 --> 0:44:17.960
<v Speaker 1>correct answer. You are a politician. You are you are

0:44:18.480 --> 0:44:20.400
<v Speaker 1>let me know when you're running for office, because you

0:44:20.480 --> 0:44:25.520
<v Speaker 1>are good. Let me start there. So, um, two things.

0:44:26.320 --> 0:44:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Am I fearful for the for the franchise? No? Here's why,

0:44:31.120 --> 0:44:34.040
<v Speaker 1>because they've always adjusted. Well, if you look back in

0:44:34.120 --> 0:44:36.120
<v Speaker 1>the history of this show, it is I don't know

0:44:36.160 --> 0:44:39.840
<v Speaker 1>who's pulling those strings and who's making these decisions, but

0:44:39.960 --> 0:44:42.799
<v Speaker 1>it is when I was the Bachelor, and I think

0:44:42.800 --> 0:44:44.840
<v Speaker 1>your producers that are in that room who know the

0:44:44.840 --> 0:44:48.800
<v Speaker 1>show well could speak to this. It was not an

0:44:48.920 --> 0:44:51.479
<v Speaker 1>uncommon fear that this show wasn't going to be around

0:44:51.520 --> 0:44:54.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot longer. They had had some really like rough moments.

0:44:55.280 --> 0:44:59.359
<v Speaker 1>Social media still really didn't exist, like Instagram when I

0:44:59.360 --> 0:45:02.160
<v Speaker 1>was on The Bachelor at was just coming out. That

0:45:02.239 --> 0:45:05.600
<v Speaker 1>was six years ago at this point, So there were

0:45:05.600 --> 0:45:08.960
<v Speaker 1>some huge hurdles and transitions that had to be made,

0:45:09.040 --> 0:45:11.279
<v Speaker 1>and they made them. Like the show had never been

0:45:11.320 --> 0:45:14.200
<v Speaker 1>bigger than ever over the last four seasons, and now

0:45:14.400 --> 0:45:16.760
<v Speaker 1>you're getting to that point where it's at its peak,

0:45:16.960 --> 0:45:20.080
<v Speaker 1>which ultimately it's cyclical. It's going to start dropping down again.

0:45:20.440 --> 0:45:22.640
<v Speaker 1>So what a judge, Adjustments are going to be made

0:45:22.960 --> 0:45:24.920
<v Speaker 1>to keep the show around. Now, I don't know what

0:45:24.960 --> 0:45:28.160
<v Speaker 1>those are, but I do The Bachelor out of any

0:45:28.160 --> 0:45:32.279
<v Speaker 1>show on television, and I don't get it has made

0:45:32.280 --> 0:45:35.200
<v Speaker 1>adjustments to keep this thing going, and it's huge. It's

0:45:35.239 --> 0:45:39.200
<v Speaker 1>never been bigger. So that's my first that's my first thing.

0:45:39.200 --> 0:45:43.400
<v Speaker 1>The second thing is back to the show a little bit.

0:45:43.520 --> 0:45:45.920
<v Speaker 1>Is I'm with you on you got to cut out

0:45:45.920 --> 0:45:49.080
<v Speaker 1>the drama. But when we look at this show in general,

0:45:49.160 --> 0:45:51.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know where that dramas coming from. I don't

0:45:51.080 --> 0:45:52.480
<v Speaker 1>know the route, and so I don't know where you

0:45:52.520 --> 0:45:54.440
<v Speaker 1>take it out at unless you just send six of

0:45:54.480 --> 0:45:56.800
<v Speaker 1>them home in one night. So anyways, am I fearful

0:45:56.800 --> 0:45:59.760
<v Speaker 1>of the show? No, I'm not. Yeah, not the success

0:45:59.760 --> 0:46:01.680
<v Speaker 1>of the show. The show is going to be successful.

0:46:01.719 --> 0:46:03.400
<v Speaker 1>It is what it is. It has taken over a

0:46:03.480 --> 0:46:05.520
<v Speaker 1>day of the week. I'm not concerned about that. I

0:46:05.600 --> 0:46:08.880
<v Speaker 1>just more, maybe I should say the quality, because a

0:46:08.920 --> 0:46:11.920
<v Speaker 1>lot of people seem to be so upset because like

0:46:12.239 --> 0:46:14.520
<v Speaker 1>you want drama, like you said Survival of the Fitness,

0:46:14.520 --> 0:46:19.840
<v Speaker 1>you want drama first night week one, two, three, or five.

0:46:19.960 --> 0:46:21.879
<v Speaker 1>You usually get that two on one, and you start

0:46:21.880 --> 0:46:25.359
<v Speaker 1>to see things changing and there is like no end

0:46:25.719 --> 0:46:28.680
<v Speaker 1>to it at this point, what we're saying, and so

0:46:28.840 --> 0:46:31.400
<v Speaker 1>that I guess that's what I mean. I hear I

0:46:31.480 --> 0:46:34.080
<v Speaker 1>talk to a lot of people even Super Bowl weekend,

0:46:34.080 --> 0:46:35.400
<v Speaker 1>people want to come up to me and talk to

0:46:35.440 --> 0:46:38.280
<v Speaker 1>me about the show and the general consensus as people

0:46:38.400 --> 0:46:42.840
<v Speaker 1>are tired of the drama, and maybe more so also

0:46:43.040 --> 0:46:45.480
<v Speaker 1>what we said at the beginning of this podcast, how

0:46:45.640 --> 0:46:48.680
<v Speaker 1>Peter is handling it. Maybe that so it's frustrating. It's

0:46:48.680 --> 0:46:54.040
<v Speaker 1>frustrating on both ends. I wonder, though, then, okay, with that,

0:46:54.120 --> 0:46:56.920
<v Speaker 1>I can fully agree with you. I wonder if the

0:46:57.000 --> 0:47:01.359
<v Speaker 1>secret sauce this whole show has always been and the drama, Yes, yeah,

0:47:01.560 --> 0:47:04.600
<v Speaker 1>end in love, and yes, we are looking for a

0:47:04.680 --> 0:47:07.600
<v Speaker 1>really cool ending that we can all celebrate and forget

0:47:07.640 --> 0:47:10.640
<v Speaker 1>about all the drama together. We're quick, really quick to

0:47:10.680 --> 0:47:12.759
<v Speaker 1>forget the negatives. I told Becca last week, it's not

0:47:12.800 --> 0:47:14.560
<v Speaker 1>how you start, it's how you finish. And if Peter

0:47:14.640 --> 0:47:16.560
<v Speaker 1>finishes in a love story, we're all going to forget

0:47:16.560 --> 0:47:19.040
<v Speaker 1>all these little arguments and go, Wow, what a beautiful,

0:47:19.120 --> 0:47:22.880
<v Speaker 1>beautiful thing that happened. Yet, the drama keeps us engaged.

0:47:22.960 --> 0:47:24.879
<v Speaker 1>It does in all of our lives no matter what

0:47:24.920 --> 0:47:27.600
<v Speaker 1>we're doing, if we're watching TV or we're at you

0:47:27.800 --> 0:47:31.799
<v Speaker 1>out for cocktails with friends, drama keeps us interested, and

0:47:31.960 --> 0:47:33.920
<v Speaker 1>drama will keep us around. Even if we want to

0:47:33.920 --> 0:47:36.160
<v Speaker 1>complain about it, we still want to watch it well.

0:47:36.200 --> 0:47:38.400
<v Speaker 1>And that's the thing. We can complain week after a

0:47:38.400 --> 0:47:40.120
<v Speaker 1>week and be like, oh my gosh, it's so hard

0:47:40.120 --> 0:47:42.799
<v Speaker 1>to watch. These girls are crazy, like poor Peter. But

0:47:42.920 --> 0:47:46.080
<v Speaker 1>we're still watching and everyone out there is still watching,

0:47:46.160 --> 0:47:49.080
<v Speaker 1>so clearly it's doing something right. I mean, and I

0:47:49.120 --> 0:47:51.319
<v Speaker 1>can't imagine. I feel like, once you get this like

0:47:51.600 --> 0:47:53.799
<v Speaker 1>dose of this drama, you kind of have to keep

0:47:53.840 --> 0:47:56.480
<v Speaker 1>it up now season by season, which makes me a

0:47:56.560 --> 0:48:00.200
<v Speaker 1>little nervous for the future Boucher and Boucherrettes. But but

0:48:00.360 --> 0:48:03.399
<v Speaker 1>once you have that and like you can't come down,

0:48:03.440 --> 0:48:06.000
<v Speaker 1>I feel like everything after that's going to seem boring. Well,

0:48:06.000 --> 0:48:08.920
<v Speaker 1>it is reality TV, right, Like we need a little

0:48:08.920 --> 0:48:12.439
<v Speaker 1>bit of it, right, But I think what you said,

0:48:12.440 --> 0:48:16.040
<v Speaker 1>Ben is so on point too about short term memory.

0:48:16.080 --> 0:48:17.920
<v Speaker 1>At the end of the day, they'll just you just

0:48:17.960 --> 0:48:19.840
<v Speaker 1>want to see a love story. It's just taken a

0:48:19.920 --> 0:48:22.640
<v Speaker 1>little bit longer to get to than that. So Ben,

0:48:22.640 --> 0:48:25.400
<v Speaker 1>do you even have a favorite lady on this season? Oh?

0:48:25.400 --> 0:48:29.040
<v Speaker 1>That's tough, right, really really tough. I will say that's

0:48:29.080 --> 0:48:31.440
<v Speaker 1>the hardest, Like this is the hardest season for me, Like,

0:48:31.719 --> 0:48:34.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, I really went into this when we're just

0:48:34.280 --> 0:48:36.440
<v Speaker 1>looking at pictures and being like, oh, this girl's beautiful,

0:48:36.480 --> 0:48:40.640
<v Speaker 1>this girl's beautiful, and it's true beautiful season of people.

0:48:41.800 --> 0:48:44.160
<v Speaker 1>But I do think the one that has has shown

0:48:44.239 --> 0:48:46.759
<v Speaker 1>themselves to have the best like interactions just based on

0:48:46.760 --> 0:48:51.719
<v Speaker 1>what we've seen is Victoria. I think Storia who Victoria?

0:48:51.800 --> 0:48:55.280
<v Speaker 1>F Oh, let me make some notes while you're talking.

0:48:55.360 --> 0:48:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh gosh, Ben, I would disagree so wholeheartedly with you

0:48:59.080 --> 0:49:01.279
<v Speaker 1>on that one. Right, Why we got to hear the why?

0:49:01.320 --> 0:49:03.399
<v Speaker 1>Because we have to hear why we have to hear why? Well,

0:49:03.440 --> 0:49:06.880
<v Speaker 1>I will get into it. I just every time I

0:49:06.880 --> 0:49:09.600
<v Speaker 1>feel like they're together, there's no doubt about it. Like

0:49:09.640 --> 0:49:13.040
<v Speaker 1>Peter is very drawn to her, he's very attracted. But

0:49:13.200 --> 0:49:17.040
<v Speaker 1>I feel like she just in a way she handles

0:49:17.040 --> 0:49:20.600
<v Speaker 1>and approaches situations, whether it's with him or the date,

0:49:20.719 --> 0:49:24.959
<v Speaker 1>whatever they're doing, she just seems very very over the top,

0:49:25.040 --> 0:49:27.480
<v Speaker 1>like she either is like all in or freaking out

0:49:27.520 --> 0:49:30.160
<v Speaker 1>and there's like no, she just seems kind of exhausting.

0:49:30.320 --> 0:49:33.160
<v Speaker 1>But I also think there's always an issue when she's

0:49:33.200 --> 0:49:36.600
<v Speaker 1>with Peter. She's always upset about something. She starts to cry,

0:49:36.680 --> 0:49:38.920
<v Speaker 1>she gets upset and walks away and leaves him, And

0:49:38.960 --> 0:49:42.640
<v Speaker 1>I like, this is your right, the one that went

0:49:42.719 --> 0:49:47.640
<v Speaker 1>on the uh that went on the date? Listen boyfriend? Yeah,

0:49:47.719 --> 0:49:50.040
<v Speaker 1>That's why I'm like, Ben, I want to hear your

0:49:50.080 --> 0:49:54.239
<v Speaker 1>logic as to how you see Victoria as the one,

0:49:54.320 --> 0:49:56.640
<v Speaker 1>because Becca and I'm on the same age, Becca, so

0:49:56.880 --> 0:50:02.399
<v Speaker 1>please please do case. Well, here's my case is. I

0:50:02.440 --> 0:50:04.600
<v Speaker 1>do feel like Peter is the most comfortable with her.

0:50:04.640 --> 0:50:07.200
<v Speaker 1>I do feel like he's attracted to her. I don't

0:50:07.239 --> 0:50:10.120
<v Speaker 1>feel like we've had anybody kind of make his world

0:50:10.160 --> 0:50:12.239
<v Speaker 1>stop at this point. I said it a little bit

0:50:12.280 --> 0:50:15.919
<v Speaker 1>ago and I still stick to it. I don't know

0:50:16.000 --> 0:50:19.360
<v Speaker 1>if there's even one right now that I've seen Peter

0:50:19.520 --> 0:50:24.200
<v Speaker 1>just fully like be engaged with yet. I mean Madison

0:50:24.280 --> 0:50:26.719
<v Speaker 1>kind of like week one, which is easy to do,

0:50:27.160 --> 0:50:30.080
<v Speaker 1>and Hannah Ann has kind of walked on the perimeter

0:50:30.160 --> 0:50:33.080
<v Speaker 1>through the whole show. I'm just saying, if there is

0:50:33.160 --> 0:50:35.880
<v Speaker 1>one person that I've seen him have interaction with that

0:50:35.920 --> 0:50:38.760
<v Speaker 1>could point to any type of future relationship, it seems

0:50:38.760 --> 0:50:43.319
<v Speaker 1>like Victoria is it? Yet I don't hesitate to say

0:50:44.200 --> 0:50:46.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if there is a one, like I don't.

0:50:46.960 --> 0:50:48.880
<v Speaker 1>I have yet to see it. Ben, I want to

0:50:48.920 --> 0:50:52.720
<v Speaker 1>know if you were Peter right now, what girl would

0:50:52.800 --> 0:50:57.600
<v Speaker 1>you have as as your top girl? If I was Peter, Oh,

0:50:57.640 --> 0:51:00.680
<v Speaker 1>she's gone. I said, it was Sarah. See I think

0:51:00.719 --> 0:51:04.480
<v Speaker 1>seemed like cool. She was like funny in a moment

0:51:04.520 --> 0:51:06.480
<v Speaker 1>that we saw her, and then she was beautiful. I

0:51:06.520 --> 0:51:10.400
<v Speaker 1>think just like at the very first night she was

0:51:10.440 --> 0:51:14.560
<v Speaker 1>like at least somewhat like this is okay. This is

0:51:14.560 --> 0:51:18.160
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying about the men. You picked her because

0:51:18.200 --> 0:51:21.120
<v Speaker 1>she's pretty. I mean, the girl didn't. We didn't see

0:51:21.160 --> 0:51:25.120
<v Speaker 1>anything of her on the show. She's It's the same

0:51:25.120 --> 0:51:27.880
<v Speaker 1>thing with Joe, grocery Store Joe, who I adore, But

0:51:27.960 --> 0:51:29.960
<v Speaker 1>grocery Store Joe, you saw nothing of him and people

0:51:30.000 --> 0:51:32.400
<v Speaker 1>went wild about him because they thought he was attractive.

0:51:32.600 --> 0:51:35.080
<v Speaker 1>It's the same thing with Sarah. She's a beautiful girl.

0:51:35.640 --> 0:51:39.360
<v Speaker 1>You saw nothing of her personality. Store Joe ended up

0:51:39.400 --> 0:51:42.719
<v Speaker 1>being awesome and you're like, well this guy could You're right,

0:51:42.800 --> 0:51:44.960
<v Speaker 1>but that's what we know now after the fact. At

0:51:44.960 --> 0:51:47.720
<v Speaker 1>the time, what I'm saying is with Sarah, you can't

0:51:47.760 --> 0:51:50.600
<v Speaker 1>point to anything outside of her being pretty. That's it.

0:51:50.680 --> 0:51:52.719
<v Speaker 1>I said before the show even started, that was like

0:51:52.760 --> 0:51:54.800
<v Speaker 1>who I went into this season like, she's just pretty

0:51:54.880 --> 0:51:58.120
<v Speaker 1>like pumped up about so like now that be like

0:51:58.160 --> 0:52:00.600
<v Speaker 1>who he's left and who he's captain, who's still around

0:52:01.239 --> 0:52:04.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't think there is one person that would match

0:52:04.400 --> 0:52:07.760
<v Speaker 1>me at all. It would be tough. Maybe well after

0:52:07.800 --> 0:52:10.120
<v Speaker 1>you have the catch like Jessica. Of course no one can.

0:52:10.280 --> 0:52:13.719
<v Speaker 1>Oh nobody even compares. And that's the closest thing that

0:52:13.760 --> 0:52:16.279
<v Speaker 1>I've from what I've seen is Madison. Maybe you brought

0:52:16.320 --> 0:52:19.040
<v Speaker 1>it up. I think Madison has shown to be like sweet.

0:52:19.360 --> 0:52:21.600
<v Speaker 1>She was met his family and was like cool with it.

0:52:22.200 --> 0:52:24.680
<v Speaker 1>She hasn't been involved in the other drama. We haven't

0:52:24.680 --> 0:52:27.600
<v Speaker 1>seen her freaking out yet. I don't know a lot

0:52:27.640 --> 0:52:30.399
<v Speaker 1>about her. We haven't got to know her too well.

0:52:30.520 --> 0:52:32.520
<v Speaker 1>So I would say the one person right now that

0:52:32.600 --> 0:52:36.600
<v Speaker 1>sits there, that's still on the show that would feel

0:52:36.600 --> 0:52:39.560
<v Speaker 1>like the best fit for somebody like Peter would probably

0:52:39.600 --> 0:52:43.279
<v Speaker 1>be a Madam. Just shocked that you said, well, I'm

0:52:43.280 --> 0:52:45.799
<v Speaker 1>over Sarah, even though I'm still shocked at that. But

0:52:46.040 --> 0:52:51.200
<v Speaker 1>Victoria f for you to be say that Peter can't

0:52:51.239 --> 0:52:54.759
<v Speaker 1>handle conflict. She can't either. When he tries to have

0:52:54.800 --> 0:52:57.640
<v Speaker 1>a conversation with her, she runs off and starts crying

0:52:57.640 --> 0:53:00.719
<v Speaker 1>in a corner. I mean literally, she can't warm sentences

0:53:00.880 --> 0:53:04.759
<v Speaker 1>to express how she feels unless she's confronting one of

0:53:04.760 --> 0:53:07.280
<v Speaker 1>the girls in the house and then she's ripping them apart.

0:53:07.360 --> 0:53:09.839
<v Speaker 1>That's what I don't understand the contradiction with her. You

0:53:09.880 --> 0:53:13.239
<v Speaker 1>can tell a girl off and call her out, and

0:53:13.280 --> 0:53:17.160
<v Speaker 1>then you become this meek, shy I can't express how

0:53:17.200 --> 0:53:19.520
<v Speaker 1>I feel person in front of Peter, like, which one

0:53:19.560 --> 0:53:27.920
<v Speaker 1>are you to me that the girl isn't? Honestly, I

0:53:28.000 --> 0:53:31.680
<v Speaker 1>hope we find out who she is. Rachel. The truth

0:53:31.680 --> 0:53:33.840
<v Speaker 1>to all this is, I don't think there's a favorite

0:53:33.840 --> 0:53:36.040
<v Speaker 1>for me. Ben. You know you've mentioned do you and

0:53:36.040 --> 0:53:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Peter have talked quite a bit. You gave him some

0:53:38.640 --> 0:53:41.520
<v Speaker 1>advice in the beginning now halfway through, and I'm not

0:53:41.560 --> 0:53:43.800
<v Speaker 1>sure if you've talked to him recently within the past

0:53:44.000 --> 0:53:46.800
<v Speaker 1>week or so. You know, it's different when you start

0:53:46.920 --> 0:53:49.200
<v Speaker 1>the season and you're in the middle of it. And

0:53:49.239 --> 0:53:51.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure Peter's in a very unique position right now

0:53:51.960 --> 0:53:54.279
<v Speaker 1>where he's watching half of the season back and he's

0:53:54.320 --> 0:53:58.400
<v Speaker 1>getting the world, the world's reaction about everything he's saying,

0:53:58.480 --> 0:54:01.120
<v Speaker 1>everything he's doing, all of these girls like, he's getting

0:54:01.160 --> 0:54:03.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot at this point. And if there's any advice

0:54:04.400 --> 0:54:07.160
<v Speaker 1>from here on out for him to expect, what would

0:54:07.200 --> 0:54:09.160
<v Speaker 1>it be Because he's he's in for a whild, right,

0:54:09.200 --> 0:54:11.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean this is only halfway through and we haven't

0:54:11.600 --> 0:54:13.680
<v Speaker 1>even gotten to see like the love stories unfold. So

0:54:13.719 --> 0:54:17.000
<v Speaker 1>what would you say to him if he called you up? Yeah, well,

0:54:18.160 --> 0:54:21.400
<v Speaker 1>I'd say hold tight. I mean he's already done with this, right,

0:54:21.480 --> 0:54:25.560
<v Speaker 1>so I would say, hold on tight. It's gonna get better,

0:54:26.400 --> 0:54:28.239
<v Speaker 1>no matter what it was my you know, it's my

0:54:28.280 --> 0:54:30.600
<v Speaker 1>same advice for anybody it's been on the show that's

0:54:30.600 --> 0:54:32.880
<v Speaker 1>going through turmoil. I mean there's a couple of characters

0:54:32.880 --> 0:54:35.920
<v Speaker 1>that we've seen last year, we spent or Hannah b season,

0:54:35.960 --> 0:54:38.919
<v Speaker 1>We spent all year talking about Luke, and I thought

0:54:38.960 --> 0:54:41.040
<v Speaker 1>that could get pretty ugly for him. I thought that

0:54:41.040 --> 0:54:43.480
<v Speaker 1>would last a little bit outside the show. Most of

0:54:43.480 --> 0:54:48.360
<v Speaker 1>the time, nobody unless your character is really, really really

0:54:48.360 --> 0:54:50.879
<v Speaker 1>really be in question. If you make it to the end,

0:54:50.920 --> 0:54:55.520
<v Speaker 1>which I'm hoping Peter does, he's gonna be fine. I

0:54:55.520 --> 0:54:57.600
<v Speaker 1>would just say, hold on tight and continue to be

0:54:57.640 --> 0:55:00.000
<v Speaker 1>who he is, continue to be kind, continue to answer

0:55:00.080 --> 0:55:03.040
<v Speaker 1>the questions that he's doing. But on the show, what

0:55:03.120 --> 0:55:05.280
<v Speaker 1>I really hope he does is he starts to really

0:55:05.320 --> 0:55:07.319
<v Speaker 1>try to dive into who these women are and how

0:55:07.320 --> 0:55:10.279
<v Speaker 1>they fit him and how he fits them and what

0:55:10.320 --> 0:55:12.960
<v Speaker 1>relationships can be made because I don't I haven't seen

0:55:13.040 --> 0:55:15.080
<v Speaker 1>that yet. I mean, we can sit here and we

0:55:15.120 --> 0:55:17.600
<v Speaker 1>can argue about Victorian, we can argue about Madison and

0:55:17.800 --> 0:55:19.919
<v Speaker 1>all these girls. The truth of it is, I don't

0:55:20.040 --> 0:55:22.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, unless you have a really strong opinion on

0:55:22.120 --> 0:55:24.680
<v Speaker 1>who he should be with. Right now, I think most

0:55:24.719 --> 0:55:26.560
<v Speaker 1>of the fans are going, I don't know if there's

0:55:26.560 --> 0:55:29.399
<v Speaker 1>anybody like not that these women are bad, just like

0:55:29.520 --> 0:55:33.040
<v Speaker 1>nobody seems to fit Peter that well. Right. I think

0:55:33.080 --> 0:55:37.040
<v Speaker 1>that's very well said, Ben, and I think we all

0:55:37.080 --> 0:55:39.640
<v Speaker 1>we are all you right now. We share your sentiments.

0:55:39.680 --> 0:55:42.319
<v Speaker 1>And I remember Beck and I'm both talking about at

0:55:42.320 --> 0:55:45.080
<v Speaker 1>the beginning of this season that we're so excited for Peter,

0:55:45.160 --> 0:55:47.359
<v Speaker 1>even talking with Peter, talking to Peter's parents, were so

0:55:47.400 --> 0:55:49.920
<v Speaker 1>excited for him. We feel like it's the thing that

0:55:49.920 --> 0:55:51.880
<v Speaker 1>he's missing. He's got his job, he's got his family,

0:55:51.960 --> 0:55:55.200
<v Speaker 1>his friends, all of that. He wants this, you know,

0:55:55.520 --> 0:55:58.400
<v Speaker 1>as much as any lead I've ever seen. So I

0:55:58.480 --> 0:56:00.440
<v Speaker 1>hope it ends in a love story. Hope it works out.

0:56:00.560 --> 0:56:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Hope the tide is changing when it comes to how

0:56:03.040 --> 0:56:06.040
<v Speaker 1>we're seeing his relationships play out this season. But we'll

0:56:06.040 --> 0:56:08.239
<v Speaker 1>just have to wait until the next week to see

0:56:08.239 --> 0:56:10.680
<v Speaker 1>how it goes. But I mean, I don't know what

0:56:10.760 --> 0:56:14.680
<v Speaker 1>else to say except for Ben for governor. If I

0:56:14.719 --> 0:56:18.160
<v Speaker 1>can bypass questions about the Bachelor, I think politics will

0:56:18.200 --> 0:56:22.120
<v Speaker 1>be a lot easier. Can I switch roles here for

0:56:22.160 --> 0:56:25.680
<v Speaker 1>a second and ask you too, who are you fans of? Like?

0:56:25.719 --> 0:56:28.200
<v Speaker 1>Who should I be looking at and watching and going

0:56:28.239 --> 0:56:33.399
<v Speaker 1>this could work? Well? Okay, yeah, I have I have

0:56:33.480 --> 0:56:37.239
<v Speaker 1>my people that I like just for the comedic relief,

0:56:38.239 --> 0:56:39.960
<v Speaker 1>and then I have the girls who I think are

0:56:40.000 --> 0:56:43.440
<v Speaker 1>top contenders. I mean right now, and we've talked about Madison.

0:56:43.440 --> 0:56:45.759
<v Speaker 1>We haven't seen very much of her other than the

0:56:45.880 --> 0:56:49.120
<v Speaker 1>very first one on one date, But in a weird way,

0:56:49.160 --> 0:56:51.480
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I can kind of relate to Madison.

0:56:51.520 --> 0:56:55.480
<v Speaker 1>I feel like she is me in that scenario because

0:56:55.880 --> 0:56:58.120
<v Speaker 1>I had on our season the very first one on

0:56:58.120 --> 0:57:00.680
<v Speaker 1>one date, and then it was kind of I was

0:57:00.960 --> 0:57:02.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of out of the picture. I wasn't part of

0:57:02.560 --> 0:57:05.000
<v Speaker 1>the drama. I knew I had this strong connection, but

0:57:05.680 --> 0:57:07.960
<v Speaker 1>it was a little bit removed. And I think that

0:57:07.960 --> 0:57:10.960
<v Speaker 1>that's how she is. I do think that when they

0:57:11.040 --> 0:57:14.759
<v Speaker 1>have their interactions. From what we've seen, she's one that

0:57:15.200 --> 0:57:17.160
<v Speaker 1>he has a stronger one with. And maybe that's just

0:57:17.240 --> 0:57:19.320
<v Speaker 1>given to the fact that she met his family and

0:57:19.360 --> 0:57:21.080
<v Speaker 1>that just bonded them in a way that he hasn't

0:57:21.120 --> 0:57:23.600
<v Speaker 1>bonded with these other girls. But I do. I am

0:57:23.640 --> 0:57:27.520
<v Speaker 1>excited to see more of her. And in terms of Kelsey,

0:57:28.880 --> 0:57:31.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm always up and down with Kelsey. I think that

0:57:31.120 --> 0:57:33.040
<v Speaker 1>there's really something there, and I think that as we

0:57:33.080 --> 0:57:35.120
<v Speaker 1>get to know her, she's unpeeling these layers and we're

0:57:35.120 --> 0:57:38.440
<v Speaker 1>getting to know a deeper level aside from just the

0:57:38.440 --> 0:57:42.320
<v Speaker 1>whole champagne Champagne gate and that drama. I think he's

0:57:43.240 --> 0:57:44.720
<v Speaker 1>from what I've seen with her though, I think he's

0:57:44.800 --> 0:57:47.880
<v Speaker 1>drawn to her, and I'm trying to. I'm trying to.

0:57:48.560 --> 0:57:50.440
<v Speaker 1>When I watched their interactions, I try to pick it

0:57:50.480 --> 0:57:53.400
<v Speaker 1>apart a little bit more and really like focus on

0:57:53.440 --> 0:57:57.680
<v Speaker 1>what it is. I will say I'm intrigued by her

0:57:57.840 --> 0:58:04.280
<v Speaker 1>and Pete's relationship. Yeah. For me, I like Tasha the best.

0:58:04.360 --> 0:58:07.439
<v Speaker 1>I think she's funny, she's level headed, the girls seem

0:58:07.480 --> 0:58:09.800
<v Speaker 1>to like her in the house, no drama. She's like

0:58:09.800 --> 0:58:13.360
<v Speaker 1>a breath of fresh air to me. And then for Peter,

0:58:13.600 --> 0:58:17.360
<v Speaker 1>I like Madison. I mean for the obvious. She seems

0:58:17.400 --> 0:58:19.240
<v Speaker 1>to be no drama. I mean, I guess I could

0:58:19.280 --> 0:58:23.120
<v Speaker 1>throw Hannah in in there, but Madison, I think there's

0:58:23.120 --> 0:58:26.240
<v Speaker 1>a there's a spark there, and it seems very effortless

0:58:26.240 --> 0:58:27.960
<v Speaker 1>when they're together. And this is just me going on

0:58:28.000 --> 0:58:30.560
<v Speaker 1>the first off the first day, so I don't know,

0:58:30.840 --> 0:58:33.480
<v Speaker 1>we'll see. It seems very obvious he's in a Madison.

0:58:33.560 --> 0:58:35.440
<v Speaker 1>So it makes me think that something's going to happen.

0:58:36.000 --> 0:58:39.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh right, because it's so to me, it's so obvious

0:58:39.080 --> 0:58:42.200
<v Speaker 1>it's Madison. Yeah, I can't take any more of this.

0:58:42.280 --> 0:58:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Like Peter being happy, dancing around, smiling, like doing his

0:58:45.600 --> 0:58:47.560
<v Speaker 1>goofy little dance thing, and then all of a sudden,

0:58:47.600 --> 0:58:51.760
<v Speaker 1>out of nowhere comes some young lady walking up, say Peter,

0:58:52.720 --> 0:58:55.160
<v Speaker 1>you've got to talk right. It's like, Peter, is that

0:58:55.240 --> 0:58:58.400
<v Speaker 1>a smile? Let me turn that? Let me turn that

0:58:58.480 --> 0:59:03.760
<v Speaker 1>upside down? Because we've been As you're saying this, I

0:59:03.840 --> 0:59:06.120
<v Speaker 1>have that image of in my head of him dancing

0:59:06.120 --> 0:59:08.760
<v Speaker 1>on stage with Victoria f and he's got you know,

0:59:08.800 --> 0:59:11.440
<v Speaker 1>he's doing this hands in the air thing, smile on

0:59:11.480 --> 0:59:13.360
<v Speaker 1>his face, and it's like they pan out and it

0:59:13.480 --> 0:59:16.960
<v Speaker 1>shows Chase Rice, just like in Victoria's singing the words

0:59:17.200 --> 0:59:21.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's poor. We we like to title each episode,

0:59:21.560 --> 0:59:25.520
<v Speaker 1>and during that episode we titled that one poor Peter. Okay, Ben,

0:59:25.680 --> 0:59:28.360
<v Speaker 1>always a pleasure. Love having you on the podcast. But

0:59:28.440 --> 0:59:30.520
<v Speaker 1>before we let you go, we like to play a

0:59:30.600 --> 0:59:32.680
<v Speaker 1>game with our guests. Even though I felt like you're

0:59:32.680 --> 0:59:34.480
<v Speaker 1>not you haven't really been a guest today. You've kind

0:59:34.520 --> 0:59:36.720
<v Speaker 1>of been the fourth co host because obviously the third

0:59:36.720 --> 0:59:38.120
<v Speaker 1>one is men. Oh. I don't want to say not

0:59:38.160 --> 0:59:41.520
<v Speaker 1>acknowledge her again and have her star barking, but um, yeah,

0:59:41.640 --> 0:59:44.080
<v Speaker 1>you've been fantastic. It's great to get your opinions and

0:59:44.080 --> 0:59:47.280
<v Speaker 1>your take on the show, even though they were politically correct.

0:59:47.360 --> 0:59:50.080
<v Speaker 1>We tried to poke you, but you were good. Whatever.

0:59:50.360 --> 0:59:52.160
<v Speaker 1>We'll try again with this game. So here we go.

0:59:52.240 --> 0:59:54.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna do this game with you and Becca because

0:59:54.680 --> 0:59:57.560
<v Speaker 1>you guys, you know you got Bachelor Alive coming up

0:59:57.640 --> 1:00:00.360
<v Speaker 1>so soon. I can't wait to catch it. But you

1:00:00.400 --> 1:00:03.080
<v Speaker 1>are the perfect duo, well other than Becca and I

1:00:03.120 --> 1:00:06.040
<v Speaker 1>of course, obviously, So okay, here we go. I'm gonna

1:00:06.080 --> 1:00:09.800
<v Speaker 1>throw out questions and then you're gonna say, who's going

1:00:09.840 --> 1:00:11.760
<v Speaker 1>to be doing this when I throw this out? Either

1:00:11.800 --> 1:00:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Becca or Ben. All right. First up, who is going

1:00:15.520 --> 1:00:18.840
<v Speaker 1>to sleep better on the tour bus? You? Becca? Oh?

1:00:18.920 --> 1:00:23.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh oh? I would say you, Ben, I can't sleep,

1:00:23.680 --> 1:00:26.280
<v Speaker 1>Hey me, neither one of you can. Is that because

1:00:26.280 --> 1:00:28.400
<v Speaker 1>you real tired after three months? It's because of the

1:00:28.480 --> 1:00:31.280
<v Speaker 1>excitement of Bachelor Live on stage. You just can't wait

1:00:31.320 --> 1:00:33.800
<v Speaker 1>to get to the next city. I actually heard the

1:00:33.880 --> 1:00:36.560
<v Speaker 1>buses are super dry, and it's like the one thing

1:00:36.600 --> 1:00:38.360
<v Speaker 1>I can't sleep in even though I live in Denver,

1:00:38.400 --> 1:00:40.800
<v Speaker 1>but I have a huge humidifier in my house. That

1:00:41.800 --> 1:00:44.040
<v Speaker 1>buses are super dry, So I'm worried that I'm going

1:00:44.120 --> 1:00:46.480
<v Speaker 1>to always wake up like with the sore throw. Is

1:00:46.480 --> 1:00:50.240
<v Speaker 1>it a portable humidifier, I'm bringing it with me. Yes. Okay.

1:00:50.280 --> 1:00:52.440
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna say, sponsor, Ben, I will let you.

1:00:52.680 --> 1:00:54.600
<v Speaker 1>I will let you borrow my facial steamer so you

1:00:54.600 --> 1:00:56.880
<v Speaker 1>can just shove your face in that every day. Thanks,

1:00:57.400 --> 1:01:02.960
<v Speaker 1>You're welcome. I was gonna say something really inappropriate, Okay. Next,

1:01:03.640 --> 1:01:06.120
<v Speaker 1>whose partner? Whose partner is going to be on the

1:01:06.120 --> 1:01:12.360
<v Speaker 1>tour bus more often? Becca's or Bins, Jessica or Garrett?

1:01:13.800 --> 1:01:20.040
<v Speaker 1>I think Garrett, right, I would say Jessica, Ja there,

1:01:20.360 --> 1:01:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Jessica's there for a third of the tours. She's coming

1:01:23.880 --> 1:01:25.560
<v Speaker 1>in and out, so she'll be in for a week

1:01:25.640 --> 1:01:27.720
<v Speaker 1>out for two, in for a week out for two.

1:01:27.840 --> 1:01:31.600
<v Speaker 1>So that sounds like a lot. I honestly think Jessica

1:01:31.640 --> 1:01:34.040
<v Speaker 1>because Garrett right now is so scattered all over the place,

1:01:34.080 --> 1:01:38.400
<v Speaker 1>so he'll he you know what, Jessica might be there more.

1:01:38.680 --> 1:01:41.200
<v Speaker 1>But of course we'll have Minno consoling, and she's also

1:01:41.280 --> 1:01:44.200
<v Speaker 1>my partner, so she'll she'll take the lead as Minno

1:01:44.320 --> 1:01:45.920
<v Speaker 1>going to be there the whole time. We don't stop

1:01:46.000 --> 1:01:52.280
<v Speaker 1>licking that. You know, dogs like to get in that booty, doesn't.

1:01:53.080 --> 1:01:58.880
<v Speaker 1>You're not on camera right now. Okay, I don't know

1:01:58.960 --> 1:02:01.960
<v Speaker 1>what is going on over there. This sounds sounds like

1:02:02.000 --> 1:02:06.280
<v Speaker 1>a good time. Okay, who's gonna be the bigger hype man?

1:02:09.920 --> 1:02:12.640
<v Speaker 1>Here's the thing I want to explain myself as part

1:02:12.640 --> 1:02:16.720
<v Speaker 1>of the show. Okay, that's gonna be Ben Well. I

1:02:16.920 --> 1:02:20.240
<v Speaker 1>and when I when like getting the crowd pumped up, um,

1:02:20.280 --> 1:02:23.960
<v Speaker 1>I lose myself in the adrenaline. But I feel like Becca.

1:02:25.200 --> 1:02:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Becca is really going to come through as the closer

1:02:28.200 --> 1:02:31.720
<v Speaker 1>and keep everything like consistently hyped. But like I'll come

1:02:31.720 --> 1:02:34.840
<v Speaker 1>out like a rocket and I'll slow down and then

1:02:34.880 --> 1:02:38.680
<v Speaker 1>I'll end pretty excited too. If love love exist on stage,

1:02:39.200 --> 1:02:41.600
<v Speaker 1>well I'm gonna need the rain Ben in It sounds

1:02:41.640 --> 1:02:46.760
<v Speaker 1>like No I competed against Ben on the lip sync battle.

1:02:46.840 --> 1:02:51.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh yes, I've seen firsthand him lose himself on stage.

1:02:51.600 --> 1:02:54.240
<v Speaker 1>So my vote is for Been on this show. I'm

1:02:54.280 --> 1:02:58.160
<v Speaker 1>just picturing Ben fall into the mosh pit? What is

1:02:58.200 --> 1:03:00.920
<v Speaker 1>it where they But I'll start the crowd, but it's

1:03:00.920 --> 1:03:04.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna be crowdsurfing everyone. Oh yeah, by tickets. Now I'm excited.

1:03:04.320 --> 1:03:06.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean listen. If that's not selling Bachelor Live on

1:03:06.920 --> 1:03:09.280
<v Speaker 1>stage for you guys, I don't know what it is.

1:03:09.760 --> 1:03:12.120
<v Speaker 1>I want to see it. Okay, who's more likely to

1:03:12.160 --> 1:03:20.640
<v Speaker 1>trip on stage? Becca or Ben? I can answer this one. Ben,

1:03:20.640 --> 1:03:25.640
<v Speaker 1>who's your hands? And you know it's it's gotta be Becca. Yeah,

1:03:25.640 --> 1:03:30.360
<v Speaker 1>totally lock upstairs. Becca has her hands and her feet

1:03:30.360 --> 1:03:32.000
<v Speaker 1>in the air on this one. She knows it's her

1:03:32.120 --> 1:03:36.600
<v Speaker 1>minno raised a paw. I will for sure trip probably. Okay,

1:03:36.760 --> 1:03:40.120
<v Speaker 1>we're doing what sixty six shows? I will probably trip

1:03:40.640 --> 1:03:44.080
<v Speaker 1>in at least twenty seven of them. It's not more

1:03:44.280 --> 1:03:47.160
<v Speaker 1>to say it, but yeah, yeah, definitely she owns it.

1:03:47.200 --> 1:03:50.720
<v Speaker 1>She owns it's gonna happen. People, Just bear with me, please, Okay,

1:03:50.800 --> 1:03:53.640
<v Speaker 1>last one who's going to take longer in hair and makeup?

1:03:54.000 --> 1:04:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Ben or Becca Minno, that's easy? Are kidding me? That's

1:04:00.320 --> 1:04:04.960
<v Speaker 1>definitely Beccat. I have this theory that I don't understand

1:04:04.960 --> 1:04:07.880
<v Speaker 1>why I have to wear makeup at any point ever. Again,

1:04:07.920 --> 1:04:09.520
<v Speaker 1>it just makes my I don't know how you all

1:04:09.520 --> 1:04:11.920
<v Speaker 1>do it. It It makes my skin feel all sorts of weird.

1:04:12.160 --> 1:04:15.800
<v Speaker 1>So that way, you don't need makeup. You got a

1:04:15.840 --> 1:04:18.959
<v Speaker 1>fresh face ready for camera all the time. Everybody's not able.

1:04:19.000 --> 1:04:23.920
<v Speaker 1>We don't all wake up like this, Thanks Rachel. Ben's

1:04:23.920 --> 1:04:28.360
<v Speaker 1>only bringing two suits for the entire show. Yeah, he's yeah,

1:04:28.760 --> 1:04:32.200
<v Speaker 1>don't care you know about this? Yeah, I'm pack and

1:04:32.320 --> 1:04:34.520
<v Speaker 1>light team. Here's my thing. As long as I have

1:04:34.640 --> 1:04:36.840
<v Speaker 1>enough golf shirts to play golf in the morning. I'm

1:04:36.840 --> 1:04:39.520
<v Speaker 1>happy about this tour. I don't care about the night portion.

1:04:39.640 --> 1:04:41.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm ready to hit the links. Ben's gonna have more

1:04:41.600 --> 1:04:46.400
<v Speaker 1>polos than ties on this tour. All right, Well, Ben,
