1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: This is the Benn and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: with i R Radio. It is another almost famous podcast.

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 1: We're here to break down this week's episode, bring on

4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: some guests that were on the episode, but also we're

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 1: here to hear from the wonderful Ashley Kennettie so sweet

6
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 1: of you have been so sweet. How's your week been?

7
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,479
Speaker 1: Your book launch week? Are you so tired? Are you

8
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: feeling proud? I would love to say I'm feeling proud.

9
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: I am proud of the book. Um, there's a really

10
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: weird emotion that I did not imagine. I was talking

11
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,319
Speaker 1: to one of our producers right before this that's happening. So, like,

12
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 1: this book is very personal me. I'm very proud of

13
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: this book. I believe in this book. It took a

14
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: lot of time to write, but a lot of the

15
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: stuff in the book is meant for those out there

16
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: who feel disconnected, isolated alone. So I was pulling stories

17
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: of others and pulling stories of myself. These are some

18
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: things that I've never really shared before with anybody until

19
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: I wrote the book. Well now I talk about it

20
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: all day every day, and you almost have like anotional

21
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: hangover because these are things that like, you know, after

22
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: you talk about it eight times in a day, it's

23
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: hard to like still pull out the emotion and passion

24
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: of it. And so I'm tired, but I'm excited. Um,

25
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: but I'll leave this thought here. It's really weird actually,

26
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of people out here, I think,

27
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: can really you have these like high moments in life, right,

28
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: Give it a vacation, give it like a family gathering,

29
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: a holiday, maybe it's a promotion at work, whatever, and

30
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: you're like you have such big expectation for how it's

31
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 1: gonna feel, and you're so excited for it, and then

32
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: once it happens, it like in a sense lets you down.

33
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: And that's how the books felt, because like I've been

34
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: so excited for it for years, it launches, but then

35
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: like I don't, like there's like it's just it's just

36
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: out there, like I don't have I don't know what

37
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: to do with it anymore. Um, I just talk about

38
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: it a lot, but like you don't know the sales

39
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: and like not even that this book for me will

40
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: be judged based on sales. I mean, I think it well,

41
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: I'll take a personal hit like with my ego if

42
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't sell well. But it's like no now which

43
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: is gone, Like this thing that I held on to

44
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: for two years is now no longer in my hands,

45
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: and so it like it just feels it feels less

46
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: of a high then I thought it would. I understand.

47
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: I understand completely. We'll talk about it more on Thursday night,

48
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: because you are going to talk about the book more.

49
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: At least this time it'll be with friends, because we're

50
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: doing a virtual event. Tell people how they can join it.

51
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: This is a super big deal. So um, obviously, the

52
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,399
Speaker 1: almost Famous family and I Heart Radio have just been

53
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: incredible to Ashley and I over the years. And um,

54
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: we months ago planned this because we wanted to celebrate

55
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: the launch of this book and the launch of this podcast. Um,

56
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,399
Speaker 1: not the launch, I mean, I guess the sustainability this podcast,

57
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: and share some stuff that I haven't been able to

58
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: talk about with the people that listen to this podcast.

59
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,880

74
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: great guests on. We're gonna dive into some questions that

75
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: I think all of us could probably relate with right now,

76
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: like how are you feeling? Where are you at? Who

77
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: are you in the midst of this last year, in

78
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: the midst of the chaos that it's kind of came

79
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: around us to confusion. Um, I'm really pumped for it,

80
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: so please join us. It's gonna be um intimate, vulnerable, raw,

81
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: but also a lot of fun. We have something else

82
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: very exciting. On Thursday, I was asked on questions on

83
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: Instagram this week, what who's a guest that came on

84
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: our show that I never thought would agree to? It?

85
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: And it is this person, Wan Pablo. Wan Pablo did

86
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: an in depth with us we recorded last week. It

87
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: is chock full of well blunt wand pabloisms. Um, he

88
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: was as honest as he says that he was on

89
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: the show. You guys are really good. It's it's gonna

90
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: be a really good listen. You're gonna have a lot

91
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: of opinions, I'm sure, but it will be dropping this Thursday,

92
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: so make sure to look out for that. All right, Well,

93
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: let's get to this week six of the Bachelor recap

94
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: right after this break. All Right, we're back, Ashley. We

95
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: gotta break it down this week. It's gonna be crazy. Um,

96
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: there's so much going on in Bachelor Nation right now,

97
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: so many headlines, so many stories. As you know, as

98
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: you just mentioned before the break, Wan Paul is going

99
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: to be on our podcast, and uh, that's something we

100
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: never thought would happen. Um. And then we get to

101
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: this week's episode, and again, I want to preface it

102
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: was saying this last week, I was really happy with

103
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,559
Speaker 1: the episode. I think Matt James is just a good dude.

104
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: Like I just like him, I like watching him. I

105
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: think I'm rooting for him, like I'm on his team. Um,

106
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: maybe I'm just getting like to be critical as I

107
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: get farther and farther, like out of the show, I

108
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: feel like these episodes are falling short, Like I feel

109
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: like they're falling short. Well, let's dive into it, because

110
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna pull out some of the things that like

111
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: and some of the reasons why we believe they're falling short.

112
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: Right now. Well, the episode starts with the cliffhanger. Jin

113
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: and m J are together meeting, talking, arguing. We get

114
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: more arguments during the season than any other season I

115
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: can remember. It. It's uh, it's just not enjoyable, I

116
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: guess for me to watch because I don't know exactly

117
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: what's going on. And also when Matt sits down and

118
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: I'll pass to you here in just a second, but

119
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: when Matt sits down in the room with these two girls,

120
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: there's just this look of exhaustion on his face, Like

121
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: I just felt like he was sitting in a room

122
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: being like this isn't at all what I want to

123
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: spend my evening doing. Nor do I understand what's going

124
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: on here, but I just want this stuff to be

125
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: done so that we can move on into like something

126
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: healthy and like good for this season. Yeah. I was thinking,

127
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: like something that I've thought many times throughout this season,

128
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 1: kind of like, what's this fight actually over? Yes? Is

129
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 1: it the fact that you guys don't jive? Is it

130
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: the fact that m J said, oh I don't feel

131
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:53,119
Speaker 1: any tangient or drama in the house to Matt? Um? Yeah?

132
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: Is it over just something so? Or is it over

133
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 1: MJ being a bully? Um? Is it a come a

134
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: nation of all of this? Probably, But it's just like

135
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: one of those confrontations that I just feel like the

136
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: purpose of it, or like the root of it is

137
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: really vague, which makes me less interesting in the argument. Yea, yes, okay,

138
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you. It's just vague. And I mean

139
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: that's and and then I mean, okay, so we could

140
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: go through like the bickering. It's I don't think it's

141
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: helpful for the podcast. I don't think it's helpful for

142
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: the show. They went back and forth for matt sits

143
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: down with each of them. Uh, m J explains how

144
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: she has a big heart and she's trying to show

145
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: it to him. Uh, She's saying that she hasn't at all.

146
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: She's trying to bring harmony to the house, so she's

147
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: trying to do the exact opposite of what she's getting

148
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: blamed for. Uh, just Sinya saying no, you've been a

149
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: part of the problem. And then it pretty much, I

150
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: mean ends there. And this is the part that's even

151
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: more confusing, Like MJ gets sent home and then just

152
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: Sena walks back with a rose, but we don't really

153
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: know why she got her. I thought they were both

154
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: going home, quite honestly, I don't I thought they were

155
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: both going home too. I thought was gonna be like

156
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: Titia's season where she was, where he was gonna be

157
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: like Jennia, I'm not really one sure about you yet,

158
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: please go join the other girls, and like, I'll make

159
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: up my decision later. I guess in fact, he didn't.

160
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: He didn't do that, because he just decided to cancel

161
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: the cocktail party altogether, which is probably out of exhaustion

162
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: and just being like I know what I'm doing. I

163
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: don't really feel a connection between him, him and Justenia,

164
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: which is why I was surprised that she got through

165
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: so easily with that rose. But also because um, we've

166
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: seen the scene to the next episode that she's around

167
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: and looks like going on a one on one next week.

168
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: So not only did she get through that rose cere money,

169
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: but she gets through the rose ceremony that we have

170
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: a teaser, you know that we left on a cliff note,

171
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: clifhanger on, and then she gets a one on one.

172
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: So I don't know, I like, I'm obviously like team

173
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 1: just Sena in this argument between her and m J.

174
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: M J just seems like really rough around the edges,

175
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: and I don't know if I can really trust her.

176
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 1: But I also feel like just sending in a way

177
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 1: was being like a little bit over dramatic about it.

178
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: Well right, and yeah, I think you're right. I also

179
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: it goes back to the just the thing that we've

180
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: seen for re season here though, like do you think

181
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: and you can answer me this maybe when the girls

182
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: are bringing up this kind of stuff and they're arguing, okay,

183
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: when Justina is sitting in this room with him J going,

184
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: m J, I think you've been a bully, and Justina

185
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 1: is sitting there in that room at that point, does

186
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: she think that is helpful for her relationship with Matt?

187
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: Like in her head, is she believing that by pursuing

188
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: this it is helping her relationship with Matt or is

189
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: that is that an afterthought because in my opinion, from

190
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: my experience in the show, it would just hurt my

191
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: relationships if if it was down to like in a sense,

192
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: like bickering back and forth on I just don't like

193
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: you or I don't like it doesn't seem to be

194
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: helpful for any love story to be formed. I think

195
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: it's an afterthought because I think that I'm just using

196
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: my experience during The Bachelor with Kelsey being our villain.

197
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: It was just like this, I just can't stand this

198
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: person so much that like it's very important for me

199
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: for them to be exposed. But okay, but in in

200
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: a moment of honesty, for you, like the number one

201
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: reason you're there, let's say, okay, let's assume the number

202
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: one reason you're there is to have a good experience,

203
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 1: to have fun, to try something new. The second one

204
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: is could I possibly fall in love? Could I possibly

205
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: make this workout? Like is this something that could be

206
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: my love story in life? And we'll assume those are

207
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: two reasons. Does any if those are your two reasons?

208
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: Does having this kind of fight and actually you've been

209
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: in this was it helpful for either of those. No,

210
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: it's never gonna be helpful. But that doesn't mean that

211
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: like there's something in your soul that like must do it.

212
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: I know that's not like the right answer, but it's

213
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: the right answer. It's the honest answer. I mean, Okay,

214
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: do you regret doing Okay, if you're in the same position,

215
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: do you regret would you do it over the same

216
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: way you did it? Yes? And I would. Yeah, I

217
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: just would like articulate myself and not drink a whole

218
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: bottle of champagne before. Okay, Well that's all. But you

219
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: know that's because like I wasn't meant to be with Christ,

220
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: and I feel like if it may have been different,

221
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: if it was somebody that I know that like I

222
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: really thought like this made sense, like there was something

223
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: that must have been there. Um, I don't know, I understand.

224
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: I just understand where like that need to kind of

225
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: I don't want to say fight, but to argue is

226
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: to bring it out, to bring it to the service.

227
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: Well again, just Sina stays, MJ goes home and I think, uh,

228
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna be talked I think MJ

229
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: is gonna get talked about a lot this week. Um,

230
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: I think it was a really big exit for Matt.

231
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: I think he was really into into m J. I

232
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: think he still was, and I think he saw there

233
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 1: must have been more to the story, Like I think

234
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 1: he was seeing the thread of kind of what just

235
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 1: Sina was saying coming through. I think it hurt him

236
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: quite a bit to send him Jay home. I agree,

237
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: but we didn't get to see that, which was unfortunate.

238
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 1: But I felt like going into that day or whatever

239
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: you want to call it, he he had more of

240
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: a connection with that Jay. I'll give you a little

241
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: behind the scenes. When I was there on set, Uh,

242
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 1: some of the people were like they thought MJ was

243
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 1: a front runner, Like they told me, like this girl, yeah,

244
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: this like MJ has like Matt. Matt likes her. So

245
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: I was shocked to see her going home. I don't

246
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: know how this season plays out, and I don't know

247
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: how each episode plays out, So I was watching it like,

248
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: there's no way she goes home here because I knew.

249
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: I mean what, I was there two weeks before this.

250
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: I was like, two weeks before this, he was head

251
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 1: over heels for this girl, like he liked her a

252
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: ton um So it makes sense on why then he

253
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: cancels the cocktail party. He's tired, he's exhausted, he's over it.

254
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: I mean now at this point in time, we watch

255
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: it like weeks, you know, once a week. This has

256
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: been his life in argument, dealing with arguments in confrontation.

257
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: Now for two weeks. He's exhausted, he's tired, he's really

258
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: over it. Um, So he cancels the cocktail party, and

259
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: people are really upset. People are like in tears upset. Yeah, Ryan,

260
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: Ryan was a latecomer and she was so upset. We

261
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: see her not get a rose. She obviously was sensing

262
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: that she needed that time to prove a connection. Um,

263
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: we see Serena get up in Katie's not really get

264
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: up in cases. But you know, start something with Katie

265
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 1: saying that, you know, if she stopped bringing up all

266
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: the toxicity in the house, then like all these time

267
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: warpoles um of drama, times sucking time sucking warpoles of

268
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 1: drama like the one between Jasena and MJ would have

269
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: been eliminated, and then therefore cocktail parties wouldn't get canceled

270
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 1: and all that. But I don't know, I don't really

271
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: agree with Serena there. I mean, I think Katie, she

272
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 1: you know, we think that Katie is a good one,

273
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: you know, have bringing it up. Well, it's not bringing

274
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: it up for the for like her own sake. No,

275
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: it's a little bit different. The confrontation with Katie and

276
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 1: her bring it up was back, you know, when she

277
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: kind of brought up Victoria. The house was toxic, there's

278
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: bullying going on, and Katie was like, Matt, like this

279
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: isn't healthy anymore, Like I just want you to know

280
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: that this in the house like needs to change and

281
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: you need to know about it. I didn't have the

282
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: like stomach churning reaction to when Katie brought it up

283
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: as when like other people have brought up confrontation. Now

284
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: I did have it though, when Serena brought up to Katie,

285
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: I was like, don't do this again. We I literally

286
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: thought last week we were done with a drama. Then

287
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: this happens this week right off the bat with the episode,

288
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: and I'm like, Matt's already tired. And then as soon

289
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: as Harrison walks out of the room, here we are

290
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: back into another confrontation. And it was just like, don't start.

291
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: I don't want this to be another storyline. I was

292
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: checking I was getting so checked out. Was just one

293
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: of those episodes where I found myself like pressing pause

294
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: the ton looking at my phone, just wasn't fully invested

295
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: because it's just like, ah again, are you kidding me? Now?

296
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: I would say I think I mentioned last week that

297
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: I would think that maybe Serena had a point if

298
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: Katie did like a little title tale situation again. But

299
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: she didn't. She was pulling up like a past tattle.

300
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: I don't like it calling it a title I don't

301
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: think she was a title tale, but like her sake

302
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: of simplicity. The last time Katie brought that up was

303
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: a while back. So now Serena's just drudging up something again,

304
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: and and you have the awkward moment where uh, then,

305
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: well it happens a little bitter what we're talking about

306
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: it saying. But I do have to mention this, um

307
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: this episode really fired me up. And you'll know why

308
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: for one reason, not only the confrontation. Not only do

309
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: I not get to see Matt shine, which I know

310
00:15:55,760 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: he will and still can and he's great, but my

311
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: favorite went home, Maggie went home. We never got to

312
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: see Maggie. We never got to see Maggie. She was like,

313
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: I promise you, she has so much to offer. She

314
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: was in that pumpkin when I was there, spin around circles,

315
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: laughing for an hour. I think she's the best. We

316
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: never got to know her, and it's so I really

317
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: was excited to get to know her. It was really sad.

318
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: But she went home as well as Uh as Ryan

319
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: uh went home as well, and Brittany went home. Can

320
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: we talk about how weird it is that Britney went home?

321
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: This is like the third week in a row that

322
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: we have somebody who we've who's had a lot of airtime,

323
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: who seemingly had a connection with with Matt, and we

324
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: see them go home without any further explanation. Matt doesn't

325
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: pull him aside. First there was Kayla, then there was Lauren,

326
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: and now there was Brittany. Bertney had a huge storyline

327
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: over the past two weeks, and all of a sudden,

328
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: she's gone, Yeah, there's still girls there that we know

329
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: nothing about. But yet the girls that we've actually start

330
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: to like invest into and that I can actually say

331
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: their names are going home. Like this is making it

332
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: really hard on me, Like, who's next? Chelsea, Like, are

333
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: we gonna send Chelsea home next week? And I'll be like,

334
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 1: this is I don't get anymore, Like I'm invested in

335
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 1: Chelsea story I like Chelsea, She's a sweetheart. But it

336
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 1: feels like now Chelsea story line is going to be

337
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 1: the one now that goes home next week. I don't know.

338
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: But who I really feel like you might go home

339
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: next week is is Abigail? Because I'm looking at process

340
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 1: of elimination here and the fact that Abigail is going

341
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: to go home after getting the first impression rows and

342
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,360
Speaker 1: never having a one on one and never really developing

343
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: a storyline is super super sad. Let's talk about that

344
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: a little bit later in the episode when we get

345
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: closer to that Rose ceremony. Let's jump into the first

346
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 1: one on one with Piper. Cute dates. Uh, they have

347
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: they go to care, they go to a fair. That's

348
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: always fun. I always find like the fair day is

349
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: a nice little ice bregger. You can't like be awkward

350
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 1: with each other. I had we did want to worse.

351
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: Sunday it was incredible. It was like so much yeah

352
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 1: with Amanda, the whole town came out. I mean it

353
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 1: was packed. It was it was fun, but this was

354
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: super special because you know, we've seen fireworks in the

355
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: show and all that stuff, but like the fact that

356
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: all of a sudden she walks into like a dark

357
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: where like it was a forest or something, and he

358
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:24,360
Speaker 1: turns on the lights and it lights up was so cool. Yeah,

359
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 1: it was beautiful. Um. And then there's nothing really like

360
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: monumental that happens there. But she does talk over dinner

361
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: something so so sad. She says it like she has

362
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: a really hard time being emotional and vulnerable, and that's

363
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 1: because in her house it's not really condoned to be emotional,

364
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: and that her mom isn't the kind of mom who

365
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: will like call and say like, hey, I'm proud of you.

366
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: And that just made me so sad for her. And

367
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 1: she was talking about how of course she doesn't want

368
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 1: she wants to be in a relationship where she can

369
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: feel comfortable finally expressing her emotions and like raising a

370
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: family that does the same. It was said, I think

371
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: it was relatable um to a lot of people. Uh.

372
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: I think I found out over the last two years

373
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: just how many people have either gotten too much reassurance

374
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 1: from people like you know or not at all and

375
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: it's sad because it does it. There's a disconnect there,

376
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: I think though. And I hope that after Piper brings

377
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: this up on national television, like that conversation can happen

378
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 1: at home where she's like, I want you to tell

379
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: me you're proud of me, like I have. I have

380
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 1: people in my life that I know who have never

381
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 1: been told, um, by their father or mother that they

382
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: love them, like they just don't do in their household,

383
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: you know, and like that was my well, my mom

384
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: grew up in. Yeah, it's like mind boggling to me

385
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 1: because she did the exact opposite. It's weird, um, but

386
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: so it's relatable. I think it was a really great conversation.

387
00:19:54,960 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: It was really special. But once again, as this beautiful

388
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 1: date is happening, as we're relating and investing into this relationship,

389
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: at break off points, Serena and Katie are back home

390
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: fighting it out, yelling at each other in like a

391
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 1: very aggressive way. Uh, the other girls are listening. Serena

392
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 1: comes in with like this kind of confiding in these friends,

393
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: sits down and she starts talking about her Katie walks

394
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: in on it, which is always one of the most

395
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 1: awkward moments on the show. It happens often. It's one

396
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 1: of the most awkward moments in life, right, like we've

397
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 1: probably done in middle school, or like you know, you're

398
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: talking about one of your friends and then they walk in,

399
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,719
Speaker 1: things get weird. But this is again Ashley, and I'm

400
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: gonna keep harping on it until it stops. I guess,

401
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 1: I don't know. People probably sick of hearing it. But

402
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: it's like, once again, these are adults acting like children.

403
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: And there here's my take on it. Serena is just

404
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,199
Speaker 1: starting another fire, like she's mad at Katie for the

405
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: toxicity in the house. Yeah, Serena walks in to add

406
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 1: more toxicity situation by starting is fire amongst the girls.

407
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 1: Now I'm sure Katie like has but like all we've

408
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 1: seen is now Serena sitting down and starting the bad

409
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: mouth this situation. And it's luckily the girls though, stand

410
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: up and say like, I don't see it this way, yeah,

411
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: and can I just say that there's like no again,

412
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: no point to this because we see it at the

413
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: Rose ceremony and then we see it again here. But

414
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 1: then before we note that Katie's eliminated and this conflict

415
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: is gone, and it's just like, okay, it's been existed,

416
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: then fine. But I don't think it needed to be

417
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 1: part of the show because it has no consequence and

418
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 1: it just it wasn't. It was to me just a

419
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: non interesting watch where I wish that those ten minutes

420
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 1: that it occupied was used to see the one on

421
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 1: one time that Abigail and Matt or so and so

422
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: and Matt would have had on this group date, which

423
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about in a second. Um. Because

424
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: the group date was okay, let's get into it now.

425
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: The group date was bowling. It was one of those

426
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: things where it's like whatever team wins is going to

427
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 1: go have extra time with Matt tonight. And it was

428
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: actually two small groups, so they were gonna get like

429
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: some good quality time. The group of four girls, the

430
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 1: Pink Team one which sent the Blue Girls home. Then

431
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: Harrison comes in and says, you know, Matt actually wants

432
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 1: to invite you Blue girls to the date, right, And

433
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: then he said, hey, girls, sorry, I had to invite

434
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: the Blue team because like, I just felt like we

435
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: all deserved, like I want time with all of you,

436
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: which I loved. But it was so weird is that

437
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: in the episode. We don't get him. We don't see

438
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: any one on one time with any of the Blue

439
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: team that I rewounded. I rewounded to make sure that

440
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 1: I was right about this, and he he invited them,

441
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: but nothing we know, like you and I know that

442
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: those girls probably most likely had time with him, But

443
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: why wouldn't they choose to air that time? Because it's

444
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: just odd? It is. Well, okay, so right now we

445
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: are harping on this episode. I get that, But here's

446
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: the point. No, no, but here, here's the point to

447
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: this whole thing. I think here's where the frustration, um

448
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:25,400
Speaker 1: lies is. We just don't know these women well enough yet.

449
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,239
Speaker 1: It's frustrating because we're two weeks away now after this

450
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: week from Hometowns. The there's been a lot of arguments,

451
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 1: very little like in depth stories, being like kind of

452
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 1: pushed to where we understand where their relationship lies. Um,

453
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: I don't know at this point other than maybe two

454
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: or three, that I have any connection as a viewer

455
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: with any of them, Like if like there's some seasons

456
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: where somebody goes home and I'm like a little torn

457
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: up about it this season, if any of them went home,

458
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: maybe other than Abigail, Rachel of Britt like I would

459
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: be or Bree, I would be like pretty distant from it.

460
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: And I don't think it's fair. But once, okay, so

461
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: here's here's the point in the show. So we'll pause

462
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: it here and we'll talk about this through all this.

463
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: There's a storyline going on. We're gonna add one more

464
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 1: person to the season. Heather Martin shows up, uh to

465
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 1: Nim mccollan, asking to be on the season to give

466
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 1: it a shot. I'm a big Heather Martin fan. She's

467
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 1: been on the podcast many times. Uh, but nothing in's Heather.

468
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: But it's like one more person now to come into

469
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 1: this we already have added. We had a huge group

470
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: at the beginning, We've added more women back then We're

471
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: gonna add one more here, Like how we ever gonna

472
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: keep these relationships moving forward when we always are taking

473
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 1: a step back And it's it's just it's just odds,

474
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 1: Like it's weird to me that we continue to add

475
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 1: people to this season when like the whole problem I

476
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 1: guess with this season is not Matt James is not

477
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 1: really the contestants. Other than the bullying, the toxicity, I

478
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: think we've now eliminated it's the fact that there's just

479
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: so many freaking people in and out of this house.

480
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,360
Speaker 1: This was so silly in one of those rare moments,

481
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: but it felt staged to me. Um when she pulls

482
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: up in the white van, like the white and Vinnie

483
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: Matt the minivan, and then Harrison's like, go back to

484
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: your hotel and we'll think about it. When like, you

485
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: know she's staying there on campus. You know that she

486
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: was quarantining before that minivan scene. And then she's like

487
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: doing all these corny videos in her room and you're

488
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: and she even admits she's like, girl, She's like, I

489
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: know I'm late, but like I still must meet Matt.

490
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, girl, you are so late that you are

491
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: entering the week that I exited Crystals this season. Like

492
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: you if if the producers told me, yeah, you can

493
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 1: come and join, but you have to join in week six,

494
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: I'd be like, oh, okay, never mind that all embarrass myself.

495
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: I don't want to do that. Yeah you're not, that's

496
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: wild to think about. It's true, all right, Actually, let's

497
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: take a break and we come back when a breakdown.

498
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 1: Tyler Cameron's cameo on the episode as well, as Katie's

499
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: date and then exit from the show, leading into then

500
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: the bloopers for next week. Ashley fans have been waiting

501
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 1: to find out when, uh, Matt James gonna have Tyler

502
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: Cameron on. Obviously they're friends and that's kind of how

503
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: Matt got on the show was because of Tyler's mom.

504
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 1: So Tyler shows up this week, uh for little man chat.

505
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 1: But then it's also a part of Katie's one on

506
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: one date. And this did not disappoint. This was the

507
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 1: part that had me laughing, that had me totally glued

508
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: to the screen. Katie is going to go behind the scenes, right,

509
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 1: have a mike to an earpiece for a masseuse that

510
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: is massaging Tyler Unknowingly, Katie and and Matt are watching

511
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: Tyler get a massa and they're leading the massuits in

512
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: this awful massage. And this is hilarious. And this is

513
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: the kind of date that was is one creative and

514
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: I love that we haven't seen something like this before

515
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: and to actually kind of gets you to bond like

516
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,439
Speaker 1: it really gets you to bond um. And then just

517
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 1: the fact that, um, you know, it's with a friend

518
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: that's fun. You have a little bit more like you

519
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: feel more free and doing embarrassing things. I really love

520
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: this date. And uh yeah, Tyler was a good sport

521
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: he was. Yeah, it was it is I always I

522
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: like these. That was the date was right good, you're right.

523
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: It bonded Katie and Matt allowed us in the room

524
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 1: and kind of laugh and joke and pick on a

525
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 1: friend and play a joke on him. I really loved,

526
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: like I can't. I love massages. It's my favorite thing.

527
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: I can't imagine having somebody like a massus in this

528
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: like really nice spot all of a sudden take like

529
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 1: like one of those like roll roll out things and

530
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: like go against the back of my head, Like that hurts,

531
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,360
Speaker 1: Like that's not fun. I can't imagine what was going

532
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:03,919
Speaker 1: through Tyler's head. I wish there was a follow up

533
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: interview to that be like what were you thinking when

534
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 1: she was like one like playing with her nipples, which

535
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: is a little weird. I don't know how like it's

536
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: like that was fine. I would feel pretty uncomfortable, Like

537
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: I would have I would have gone further than that.

538
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 1: I would have been like go really low on his pelvis,

539
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: go really low, go really high on his thigh. Yeah,

540
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 1: I know they're keeping a PG, but like then the

541
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: rolling board in the back of the head, I think

542
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 1: that's when I've been like laying there been like this

543
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 1: is the worst thing I've ever had experienced me and

544
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: the fact that she was talking to him the whole time.

545
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: That's my number one pet peeve with the massage. Anyways, Okay,

546
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: so Katie and Matt have a great one on one day.

547
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, this thing is working, this is a good deal.

548
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: But then they feel that I did. I felt. I

549
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 1: was like, oh, I was like, this would have been

550
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: a perfect date for somebody had more chemistry with less

551
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: of a friend zone. Fail. Well, but we kind of

552
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: find that out as the date continues. Uh, it's definitely

553
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: more of a friend zone. Matt a lot of great

554
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: things to say about Katie, but she is sent home

555
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: from the one on one. It's our first one on

556
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: one exit, if I know, is it our first this season? Yes,

557
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: it's our first one on one exit this season? Um,

558
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: you know not. My opinion is not shocking because I

559
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: I do think like it wasn't like this was a

560
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: love story that we're like, yeah, they're gonna be together forever,

561
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: but um, anytime somebody goes home from a one on one.

562
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: It's um, it's a little bit of a of a storyline,

563
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: and Katie is sent home. Okay, So the end of

564
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: the episode goes like this. Heather Martin does show up

565
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: to the cocktail party, the girls all of a sudden

566
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: are fired up, and it really just starts to be

567
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: highlighted in the previews, and the previews are the previews.

568
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,719
Speaker 1: We never know what those are referring to. But it

569
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: doesn't look like this goes well for Heather. No, so

570
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: Heather does interrupt Pipers one on one time, which of

571
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: course isn't gonna go well. But what else is she

572
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: gonna do? Right? And you can tell that Matt knew

573
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: how the right off the bat because he starts laughing.

574
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 1: And to be honest, like at this point, it really

575
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: is like a hilarious joke that somebody else is entering

576
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: this late in the game, and that it's somebody that

577
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: he knows, and he's he's dealing with it with the

578
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: sense of humor, but like, you know, he's not gonna

579
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 1: he's not gonna keep I well, I feel like he's

580
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: not gonna keep it around, That's what I say. No,

581
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: But like I don't actually know. UM. And then Heather,

582
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: we we got word. It's in our hot topics this week,

583
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: but we'll talk about it right now. Is that Matt

584
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: did meet Head there prior to the season, UM, but

585
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: he had no relationship with her, so he knew her

586
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: through Hannah. And you know, as as Heather says, she

587
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: was really strongly recommended to go on the show because

588
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: of Hannah. The I encourage everybody, UM to go back

589
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: watch UM. When Heather walks into the room to interrupt

590
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: Matt and Matt looks up, that's gonna be a meme forever.

591
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: His eyes are wide, his face is shocked, and he's

592
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: like son of a gun. Well, hey, Ashley, let's take

593
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: a break here. That's been this week's episode. Uh. Let's

594
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: rate it UM A to F rating for this episode,

595
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 1: it's a say I'm gonna see minus. After last week's episode,

596
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: I had big expectations for this week. I thought we

597
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: were really going to see some stories start to build.

598
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: We didn't, uh, And as a result, it pretty disappointed me,

599
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: and I think it might for a lot of Bachelor Nation.

600
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: Matt James, once again, UH, just continues to be consistent. Great,

601
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 1: He's he's good at this, but I'm not I like

602
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: him as a human and I think we could be friends.

603
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: I'm not exactly invested into his love story right now,

604
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: and I wanted to be. Uh. And I think a

605
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: lot of that has to do with just how the

606
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: controversies and the and the bullying and the like, just

607
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: arguing the seasons existed so far. Hey, uh, we'll take

608
00:31:51,560 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: a break, we come back. We have Bachelor headline. Actually

609
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: just mentioned this first headline and so we're gonna kind

610
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: of skip over it. But Matt James did confirm that

611
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: there was no relationship with Heather Martin before she crashed

612
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: the Crash the Bachelor. I know a lot of people

613
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: are gonna be speculating that this week. But the next

614
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: headline is referencing Matt James as well. His season is

615
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: getting talked about, uh and a lot of press. Uh.

616
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: The headline reads this Bachelor Matt James talks Rachel controversy.

617
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 1: Uh and that Spotify like did he spoil his season?

618
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: This according to entertainment? Okay, well, first off, we'll address

619
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: the Spotify like. So apparently he um liked one of

620
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: Rachel's playlists on Spotify, which makes people feel like perhaps

621
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: he chooses her. UM, but he said he said in

622
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: this interview that I listened to that he apparently did

623
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 1: some research on a lot of the girls Spotify lists

624
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: and liked and listened to multiple ones. UM. And then

625
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: as far as the controversy, Rachel we know has been

626
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 1: an early front runner in an early favorite. UM. But but

627
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: but there are some there are some allegations of her

628
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: on social media for bullying in the past, about dating

629
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: black men, and for liking some photos that don't look

630
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 1: so good on social media. And I just want to

631
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: read to you what Matt has said about one question

632
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: about all this. He said, I have not really spoke

633
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: to anybody since the show ended, but I would like

634
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: to say that you have to be really careful about

635
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 1: what you're doing on social media. He says. Rumors are

636
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: dark and nasty and they can rumor people's lives. So UM,

637
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: I would give people the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully

638
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: she will have some time to speak on that. There's

639
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff going around about the women who

640
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: are involved in the show, and I would just give

641
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 1: them a chance to kind of have their peace, whether

642
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: that is someone who was gone night one or someone

643
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: who went home this week. Everyone has a story and

644
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: I would just be receptive to that. So I think

645
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 1: he just wants um Rachel to address this on her

646
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: own whenever she sees fit. Well, we uh we will

647
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,320
Speaker 1: follow that and when she does address it, we'll be

648
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: talking about it right here on Bachelor headlines. Uh. Now,

649
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 1: Rachel Lindsay, who has been outspoken uh about a lot

650
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 1: of things. She hosts a show and so she talks

651
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: about stuff kind of quite often, reacts to Dylan Barber

652
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:29,800
Speaker 1: Jed Wyatt's Bachelor producers accusations. That's on you, she says,

653
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: if you felt manipulated, this goes into our next headline,

654
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: because we'll compare the two here. Our next headline comes

655
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: from Tasha Adams, who came out and said that she

656
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: felt very unedited on her season and it's very proud

657
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 1: of who she was. So Ashley, taking both these headlines

658
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:54,840
Speaker 1: into consideration, how do we go through this? Okay? Well,

659
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,760
Speaker 1: first off, you guys may remember that last week Dylan

660
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: was talking about some like really cryptic thing ings. You know,

661
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 1: he was tweeting saying that like they don't that the

662
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 1: producers don't care about people's mental health, um, that they're

663
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 1: not looking out for the contestants. Then Jed, which is

664
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: a close friend with him, said that he was going

665
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: to drop a podcast talking about all the things that

666
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: went down during his season that he felt manipulated by. Well,

667
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: that never came out, and Dylan backtracked a little bit,

668
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: thanking the franchise for the platform it's given him. And

669
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:32,319
Speaker 1: I feel like there must have been some intervening in there. Um. Then,

670
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: So basically Rachel said, that's on you if you felt

671
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 1: like you fell for that type of scenario. I don't

672
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,800
Speaker 1: know if you're trying to get attention. I'm not sure

673
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 1: if you're trying to make trying to excuse some of

674
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: the decisions that you make. But we're all grown people.

675
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: You made those decisions for whatever reason it is. Now,

676
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: don't go try and blame somebody else. And Tasia like

677
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: in an indirect way, kind of backs up what Rachel

678
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: sang by saying that she was really proud of what

679
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: she saw of herself. And UM, I can say with

680
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: one I do not feel edited like everyone says. I

681
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: do not feel edited, or I feel I didn't feel

682
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: like they didn't show me. Um. I definitely feel like

683
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 1: that was me. Um. She said when I got upset.

684
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 1: I got upset. I was having as much fun as

685
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 1: it looked. She says that she's watching back some of

686
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: the episodes with a full on smile because it represented

687
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 1: her so well and she was so proud of herself.

688
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 1: So a bunch of different opinions here. I do think

689
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 1: everybody's experience on the show is different. I do think though,

690
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: in every situation life, you have to take some ownership

691
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: uh for the outcomes of things. So a lot of

692
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 1: opinion has been a thrown around. It's kind of It's

693
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 1: interesting now for two weeks we've been talking about, um,

694
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 1: you know, the editing in the producing of the show.

695
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: It's always a topic we talked about, but right now

696
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: it feels like it is in the headlines more than ever. Well,

697
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 1: the final UH line from this week is one that

698
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,919
Speaker 1: does come again from Rachel Lindsay. Rachel Lindsay is very

699
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:08,760
Speaker 1: upset with Dale Moss uh and her quote is Dale

700
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 1: is making this about him, Um, he wants to be

701
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 1: in the spotlight, Rachel says. She says, I'm so disappointed

702
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 1: by this breakup because I was down for Claire and Dale.

703
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: I'm close with Claire, I love Claire and I was

704
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 1: so happy with Dale, she goes, and even when my

705
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: husband Brian and I were with them, it seems like

706
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 1: they were very happy with one another. And I know

707
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: that there were all these rumors about Dale, and I

708
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,320
Speaker 1: think what's so disappointing is that meeting them, I wouldn't

709
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: have assumed that those rumors could possibly be true. And

710
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: the more that time goes by since the breakup, it

711
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:52,240
Speaker 1: seems like those rumors were true. She says. It seems

712
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: like Dale is all about himself. It seems like he

713
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 1: wants to be in the spotlights. I find it a

714
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: big coincidence maybe not so much of a coincidence that

715
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,359
Speaker 1: Um or maybe I find it to be a big

716
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 1: coincidence or maybe not so much of a coincidence that

717
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 1: he keeps finding a way to a camera or to

718
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: his Instagram lives. Here's the thing, Rachel's friends with Claire

719
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 1: Uh strong statements out of Rachel. Uh. You know, I

720
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: think here, over time this will fade off. But obviously,

721
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,240
Speaker 1: you know, we saw this week, um that Claire dieder

722
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 1: hair pink. Uh. We do see to Dale. You know

723
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: on camera a lot people are coming out in support

724
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 1: and speaking out UM upon this thing. So hey, uh,

725
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 1: I guess good for Rachel for sticking up for a friend. Um,

726
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 1: that's important, especially right now. All right, Ashley, let's take

727
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,240
Speaker 1: a break. When we come back, we're not some exciting

738
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,960

00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: feels right, everything everything. Why did you choose that song?

742
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: I think it just was the perfect fit. I mean,

743
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 1: we had this song for a couple of years and

744
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 1: We've always really loved it and had our vocals on it,

745
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,879
Speaker 1: and um, it's been mastered for a long time, and

746
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 1: when this opportunity came up, it just kind of, you know,

747
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 1: it was it was like a a label decision with us,

748
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 1: also with the people at the Baschelard and just kind

749
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 1: of all came together with this song. Nice. Okay, So

750
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 1: we have two sisters, Um, we got Emma and Maddie,

751
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,360

753
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:34,800
Speaker 1: really fun. Did you Did you enjoy your quarantine together?

754
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,839
Speaker 1: Were you allowed to quarantine together at the hotel? Are

755
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 1: you in three separate rooms for six days? We were

756
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 1: in three separate rooms actually right across the hall from

757
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 1: each other, so we could like open our door and

758
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:50,399
Speaker 1: say what's up. But it's really forced, so we didn't

759
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: see him for five days, did you? It was it

760
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:56,800
Speaker 1: was like we were able to We were able to

761
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: see each other a little bit. Um, but in the

762
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 1: beginning that was in the tory that we don't be

763
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: with each other and we make sure that each of

764
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 1: us tested negative on our own, so we weren't able

765
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 1: to like do anything really except just say. Well, we

766
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 1: did a lot of face times. We faced on each other.

767
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 1: It's like you're right over there and like, um, I'm

768
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 1: sure you two could probably lean over your balconies because

769
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 1: you guys lean over your balconies and talk or no, well,

770
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 1: our doors were right across from each other, so like

771
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: once a day we were opened the door and say like, hey,

772
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:24,959
Speaker 1: what's up, how's your day going, And then we would

773
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 1: just shut the door, or like we can hear each

774
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 1: other's meals coming because they would not come. So yeah, totally.

775
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 1: That was the same with with me when I was there,

776
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 1: it was like, oh, they're getting food now, maybe I

777
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: stored our food now? Um okay, so you you, um

778
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:47,720
Speaker 1: Maddie are a huge Bachelor fan. How did it feel

779
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 1: to be performing on the show. Was that surreal? It

780
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: was definitely kind of a fan girl moment. I am

781
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,360
Speaker 1: the biggest Bachelor fans, So I was so excited that

782
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 1: we got the opportunity to play. And I actually had

783
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 1: a lot more respect for the show after being there

784
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 1: and seeing like how sweet the producers were and like no,

785
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: like curious and like amazing, like well put together it

786
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: all was. It was. It was really awesome. That's so

787
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 1: good to hear. Did you feel the chemistry between Piper

788
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 1: and Matt And was there anything that happened during that

789
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 1: day that we didn't get to see. Um, I think

790
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 1: you'll definitely see it. But they were just like making out,

791
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 1: like right in front of us, and it's like two

792
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 1: so it's like you like don't want to look because

793
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 1: you don't want to laugh. But there's a lot of

794
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: chemistry and we got to talk to them afterwards, and

795
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:43,839
Speaker 1: they're both so sweet. Also, Matt is gigantic. He's so

796
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 1: tall and the sweetest person ever. Like you can just

797
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 1: tell she has a good heart. Yeah, you can. You

798
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: can see the chemistry between them. And in fun fact too,

799
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 1: he's from he's from North Carolina. He's from Raleigh, which

800
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 1: is where I was born too, So him and I

801
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: are both from the same home state, a home city,

802
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 1: and he went to Wake Forest, which is where my

803
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 1: uncle actually works. So it's kind of kind of a

804
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 1: small world. Yeah, kind of a small role with them,

805
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: but there it was cool at the end of it,

806
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 1: like once we were done plane, they just kind of

807
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 1: let the cameras they were just let the cameras roll

808
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 1: and then they just kept kissing so they could get

809
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 1: a lot of good footage of them kissing. So that

810
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 1: was the weirdest part was when we were done singing,

811
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 1: they were still like just going at it, and it

812
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 1: was like one of those that we're just kind of like, yeah,

813
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 1: they weren't even on us at all, but just just

814
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:32,839
Speaker 1: being in that moment was funny. You won't see our

815
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 1: reactions to that, because like, obviously that's for them to

816
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 1: get good footage of them, but just like if you

817
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 1: would have been a fly on the wall in the room,

818
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 1: it would have been, Oh my gosh, it's so funny.

819
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,439
Speaker 1: That is so odd. I never experienced them to ever

820
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: be like, keep kissing more, that's what they told them,

821
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 1: or it was just like, oh, we're going to catch

822
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:55,319
Speaker 1: them kissing, just just kissing for a long time, keep going.

823
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: They just okay, let them do their thing. Yeah, oh

824
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: that's fine. N it was it was it was sure.

825
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 1: Did you get to speak with them at all afterwards? Yes,

826
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:12,240
Speaker 1: pictures and talked about football, talked about how everybody's quarantine

827
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 1: has been, how long they've been there. We got the

828
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 1: schot for a little bit. Did you gather anything from

829
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:23,879
Speaker 1: that conversation about like how Matt was feeling about all

830
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 1: the chaos going down during his season. I know no

831
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 1: idea that there would be so much drama by how

832
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:35,319
Speaker 1: he acted okay, so well put together honestly, after we've

833
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,799
Speaker 1: been obviously watching every episode, and I would have ever

834
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 1: expected all of the chaos has gone down by the

835
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:43,399
Speaker 1: way that he was acting with us. That's a good point.

836
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,360
Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't even think about that. He carried

837
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:47,439
Speaker 1: himself so well that night in the room, and then

838
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 1: watching the episodes, it's like, really, has I had to

839
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 1: put up with a lot, you know, and like every

840
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:54,840
Speaker 1: bachelor does, it's it's a hard job. I can't imagine

841
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: being able to do it. But um, yeah, he was

842
00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 1: really cool and he was really sweet to her, and

843
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,399
Speaker 1: he's he said, like, you know, she's a really sweet girl,

844
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 1: like we have a great connection, and he goes, I

845
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,359
Speaker 1: was so excited to pick her for this one on one,

846
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 1: Like I knew this is what I like, you know,

847
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 1: I knew I wanted it to be her to come

848
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 1: on this date, which was really cool for us too,

849
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 1: because it was like, hey, like who knows at the

850
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 1: end of to gather, you know, this is we we

851
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:18,280
Speaker 1: were their first concert ever, so I'd be crazy. Yeah,

852
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 1: that's that's really cool. That's really nice to hear you.

853

869
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 1: moment to release it, and it's just felt like the

870
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:15,319

877
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:37,960

00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:44,360
Speaker 1: of Colton Underwood season, right, most of the Colton season

881
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 1: we're like, ah, this is just okay, and then it

882
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 1: was the last few weeks that we really started to

Speaker 1: like invest into the contestants and invest into the show.

884
