You know, 99 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: all these kids like guys are coming in and then 100 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 1: my dad will call me up and be like, all right, Maddie, 101 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: my daughter is gonna read the camp or whatever, and 102 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: all these kids are looking at me like who's this girl, 103 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 1: And I'll be like, all right, fine, and you don't 104 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: think I can do it, Let's let's play one on one. 105 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 1: And then you know, most of the time I win, 106 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: unless they're they're like really good. But um, so that's 107 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: been that's been fun. But no, I didn't ever really 108 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: consider playing after high school I kind of start. So 109 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 1: I grew up in the gym. That was literally I 110 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: ate claps thread basketball from a very young age. My 111 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: dadd coach girls and boys all throughout high school. So 112 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: the gym all time, traveling with between you at the 113 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 1: camps and all that stuff. So yes, so we know 114 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: that you were linked with a basketball player over the 115 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: past few months. I'm not going to ask you too 116 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: much to go to in depth here, but like, are 117 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: you single? Would you consider yourself single? Um, I'm just 118 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: trying to think of how to this. I am just 119 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: really I don't know and maybe you guys can understand this, 120 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: But ever since I came off the show, like I 121 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: guess because in because it's all about relationships obviously on 122 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 1: the show, and so like having your relationship so in 123 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: the spotlight, it was just very interesting. Um, you know, 124 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 1: when I came off the show, I kind of made 125 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: a promise to myself, like, Okay, if I get in 126 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: another relationship, I'm going to one take very very slow 127 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:58,479 Speaker 1: and too I'm going to make her like that I 128 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 1: have time before I ever public of it and announce it. 129 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: So I've been super private about my relationship life. I guess, um. 130 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: But when I went and if I'm ready to help public, 131 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: you guys will be the first to know. I'm gonna 132 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: call I'm gonna call you athletes. Well you know it's true, though, 133 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: because you have this thing. So my fiance now and 134 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: I dated, and we didn't have the benefit that Ashley 135 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: and Jared had. I guess we did have the benefit 136 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,239 Speaker 1: because they were very public, but like we had dated 137 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: for four months before I said anything publicly, because it 138 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: puts a lot of pressure on one But it can't 139 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: be easy for you because you come off the show 140 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: and as I mentioned at the beginning of your interview, 141 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: like you are every parents dream for their son like 142 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: you are. Like you are every parent out there was like, Hey, 143 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: I would love if my son dated Madison, Like that 144 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: would be fantastic. Let's set her up. And so it 145 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: probably gets like I'm you tell me, was it overwhelming 146 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: because it's not like you lived your whole life with 147 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: like people just like always asking you to date. And 148 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: I actually was in a relationship for like four years 149 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: before the show. I mean I've had a year gap 150 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: where I didn't date at all, um after that relationship 151 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: before I went on the show.

How do you find dating as somebody 180 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: who's waiting for marriage?

I don't know. 184 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 1: I'm trying to like how to phreak this. I mean, 185 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: for me, I never really saw it like that just 186 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 1: was just who that's just who I am, and just 187 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 1: like how it's always been for me. So I've you know, 188 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 1: never really known the flip side of it. And I 189 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: guess for me, it's just Okay, this is who I am, 190 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: and I don't want to be with anyone that that 191 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: doesn't see me for who I am and love that 192 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: about me. And so for that reason, um, you know, 193 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: I see it as like it's a beautiful thing, and 194 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: it's a gift that I am waiting for, you know, 195 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,839 Speaker 1: for that for that right person and for the person 196 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: that I'm married to, and so because of that, you know, 197 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: for me, I see it because I think it can 198 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:49,839 Speaker 1: be seen a lot of different ways. And maybe you 199 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: experienced this, you know, when people would ask you about it. 200 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: But I think for me, there's I get so many questions, 201 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: and I think, like, it's just so interesting to hear, 202 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: you know, other people. I always love hearing other people's 203 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 1: opinions inside, you know, regarding different things. And you know, 204 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: for a lot of people see it as like, oh 205 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: is it is it really hard or is it you know, um, 206 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: you know, a huge sacrifice? Is it something you know 207 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: this or that? And of course it's not easy. But 208 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, UM, to me, I 209 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: don't see it as like this huge thing that I'm 210 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 1: having to give up. Rather I see it as this 211 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: like amazing thing that I get the one day have 212 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: that I'm just waiting to have the best person for me, um. 213 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,439 Speaker 1: And so that's really how I view it. Of course, 214 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: there's gonna be some probably relationships or guys that might 215 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,439 Speaker 1: not have the same you know, perspective, and then if 216 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: that's the case, then that relationship might not you know, 217 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: work out. But I guess for me, like, if I'm 218 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: looking for relationships, you know, now, I'm probably already looking 219 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: for someone who doesn't necessarily have to have the exact 220 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: same you know, life experiences that I've had, Like, I 221 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: don't expect him to be like a virgin and like 222 00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: all this stuff, but I do think that it isn't 223 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: we didn't that we share you know, the same vision 224 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 1: in that way, and um, that we can really honor 225 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 1: each other in that way. It's really awesome. Well, I 226 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: know you spoke to a lot of people, uh during 227 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: your time on the show, and you did in a 228 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 1: great way. Uh. You did in a way that was 229 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: not judgmental, that was freeing that that uh clearly UM 230 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: said what you were about. UH, And I know it 231 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,679 Speaker 1: spoke to Ashley and then my fiance obviously has the 232 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: the exact same story and it's been a huge thing 233 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: in our relationship. Not always easy and a lot of 234 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: times it sucks, um, but it's the right thing for us, 235 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: and UH, it's been the best thing for us. And 236 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: I know that gift is one that you helped kind 237 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 1: of uh clear the clear the way for so, Hey, Madison, 238 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: I do want to roll in here because you are 239 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: up to a lot right now, and I know you 240 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: have a partnership with World Vision and UH.

Actually what surprising is that 479 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: they're even flying the families in. I thought there was 480 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 1: going to be no hometown dates. I thought what they 481 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 1: were going to do was kind of like what they 482 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: did for Caitlin season and fly the families in that 483 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 1: were for the top two. Because I was like, that's 484 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 1: a lot of families to come and fly in into 485 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 1: quarantine for five days, and especially since you don't since 486 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: I don't think that you know, like what, there's such 487 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: a tight filming schedule here that I'm thinking that they 488 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,439 Speaker 1: had to probably fly out like seven families or something 489 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: and they have them all quarantine and then be like, oh, 490 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,879 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, your son gotta elimonde, so you'll all go 491 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,880 Speaker 1: home together. I'm pretty sure this is how it happened. 492 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: We need to ask somebody in production or one of 493 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: these guys. Once that we do see who gets eliminated, 494 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 1: we have to ask if their family was actually flown out. 495 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,959 Speaker 1: I want to know if, like these families for like 496 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 1: we're quarantine for four days or whatever it takes, and 497 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 1: then like day five they get somebody. I want to 498 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: know who the production person is that has to go 499 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: into the room and tell like four people, hey, guys, sorry, 500 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: Like I know you've been stuck in this room and 501 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: I know you have no clue what's going on, but 502 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: unfortunately you're just gonna have to go home with no 503 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 1: more details than that. Like that is a terrible job 504 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 1: to have, and I mean, like it's a little bit risky, 505 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,160 Speaker 1: Like you're telling these families like you have to get 506 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 1: on a plane now, and like I I gonna a 507 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 1: lot of them probably didn't want to get on a plane, 508 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,920 Speaker 1: especially you know, like back in the summer, and then 509 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to quarantine for five days. Of course, 510 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: they were going to make it seem like very nice 511 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: and it was very nice quarantine that they're gonna be 512 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 1: like we get We're gonna give you a sweet eat, 513 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,360 Speaker 1: You're gonna have a hot tub in your backyard, you're 514 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,880 Speaker 1: gonna have a pool like you can access. Um, we're 515 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,640 Speaker 1: gonna get you all your meals like. It sounds nice 516 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: and it was very much a vacation. Um, but it's 517 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 1: definitely like a sacrifice. And I'm also thinking like maybe 518 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: this is what Tasia did. Maybe she told the producers 519 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 1: these two guys are definitely getting through, so you can 520 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,719 Speaker 1: send their families out. Now. We'll start quarantining them. So 521 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,919 Speaker 1: by the time that I eliminated down to four, those 522 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 1: families will be ready for those two like first um 523 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 1: hometown days and then like when I eliminate these other 524 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 1: then when I really know who my top four, will 525 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 1: send the other families out and then they'll just shoot 526 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 1: later in the week. That can make sense. Well, hey, 527 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: this next headline is one that we're all celebrating. Uh. 528 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: Chris Lane teases that he's secretly hoping pregnant Lauren Bushnell 529 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 1: has a baby boy. This according to us Weetly, now 530 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: here's the thing I did comment on Laurence picture, uh 531 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: about when she announced the news and it it made 532 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: some headlines. Uh, I mean I don't. I don't know, Like, 533 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,680 Speaker 1: of course I'm excited for her. She's married. Like, she's 534 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,159 Speaker 1: married and she's having a baby, Like, yes, she is 535 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 1: my ex, Yes we had a relationship. Yes, we tried 536 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 1: to make that relationship work. It didn't work. Uh, and 537 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 1: she moved on to somebody it's working great with. In fact, 538 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 1: it's working so well that they're going to bring life 539 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,679 Speaker 1: into this world. Who am I if I wasn't super 540 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 1: pumped for them, Like, why is this a big deal? 541 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: I don't know, the fact that it didn't make headlines 542 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: is very funny. It's like, yeah, of course, because she's married, 543 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: it's been years, and he's engaged and was supposed to, 544 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 1: you know, if everything went according to plan without COVID, 545 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 1: was supposed to get married in November. It's wild. So hey, 546 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 1: I'm pumped for Lauren and Chris, like this worked out 547 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 1: great for us all, Like I'm ecstatic about Jessica. Uh. 548 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: And I think Lauren is obviously ecstatic about Chris. I'm 549 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 1: sure he feels vice versa um and so we have 550 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,719 Speaker 1: another bachelor baby on the way. I know that Ashley, 551 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: according to this headline. Uh there might though be uh 552 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 1: some mixed opinions on what kind of baby they want, 553 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 1: boy or girl? Maybe? Yeah, so they He says that 554 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 1: they're very close to being able to find out the sex, 555 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: and they're going to find out. He says that his 556 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,719 Speaker 1: mom wants a girl. He secretly is hoping or not 557 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 1: so secretly it's hoping for a boy. And he thinks 558 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 1: Lauren wants a girl. And yes, I gotta say, I 559 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: imagine Lauren with a girl, but it'll be great both ways. Yeah, 560 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 1: this is, this is a big deal though, and I 561 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 1: mean it's exciting for them. Hey, Ashley, tell me this. 562 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:41,959 Speaker 1: You might know more than I do, but I do 563 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 1: know that they were pretty open right about their like 564 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 1: struggles getting pregnant or their hopes for getting pregnant. So 565 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: so this isn't just something that's like happened easily, right, 566 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: This is this is a big deal for them, just 567 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: like it is for anybody. But it took some work. Yeah, definitely. 568 00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: She posted on Instagram a couple of months or you know, 569 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 1: I guess been like four or five months at this point, 570 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 1: maybe even longer. But everything feels like yesterday. Um, since 571 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 1: she posted something that said, like she never imagined that 572 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 1: it would like take this long for her to get pregnant. 573 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 1: So yeah, they were definitely trying for a while. Yeah, 574 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 1: well good for them. Um, super pumped for Lauren obviously 575 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: she she will always hold a very special place in 576 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: my heart. Um we shared a lot together. But uh, 577 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 1: super pumped that a new life is is forming and 578 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 1: it's coming into Bachelor Nation. Will be faun along and 579 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,719 Speaker 1: giving you updates along the way. Now, hey, we do 580 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: have another headline that just came through. Uh, this is 581 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: hot off the press. I mean, I literally we just 582 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 1: got this message as we're breaking down the last headline. 583 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 1: It's one. It's a big one. I would say, this 584 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 1: is this there's a lot to actually, I need you 585 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 1: to help me break it down. Here's the headline and 586 00:30:55,720 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: it reads, Tasha Adams reveals which bachelorettes suitor is husband 587 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 1: material and addresses diamond ring. Alright, So Atacia was on 588 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 1: Ellen yesterday and she said that when it comes to 589 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 1: best kiss her, Ben, Blake, Brendan, and Zach were all 590 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 1: in the running for that. Interesting. Does that mean that's 591 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 1: a top that could be a top four? I don't know. 592 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 1: Blake just seems so out of this realm for me. 593 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 1: But whatever, But she said that the man who is 594 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 1: most husband material I'm going to leave a dramatic pause 595 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 1: is Zach. And then Ellen goes, so you ended up 596 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 1: with Zach And of course you know she couldn't elaborate 597 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 1: on that, but come on now, and what is she 598 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 1: supposed to do? Like, come on, you can't what if 599 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 1: what if Zach isn't her husband or isn't her fiance? 600 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 1: And like she said, she said Zack and like the 601 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 1: other guy who she ends up with, it's like, what 602 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 1: the heck? So here's my theory. Actually shared it with 603 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 1: you a couple of weeks ago, and then now it's 604 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 1: proving to me. So there's no way, there's no way 605 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 1: on earth the show would allow her to like clearly 606 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 1: speak to who she chose like that. That just doesn't happen. 607 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 1: Like that's like the only rule you ever get when 608 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 1: it comes to media is like, don't give the season away. Okay, 609 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 1: well I'm not gonna give this season away. So here's 610 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 1: my theory. Actually it's not. It's one that people are 611 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 1: gonna be happy with me about. I don't know. I 612 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 1: don't think she chooses anybody and in fact, I think 613 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 1: that she had some great guys, uh and they all 614 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 1: had to respect for each other. But I have a 615 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: theory that something happens and she parts ways with the 616 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: group without choosing someone because it just doesn't work out. 617 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 1: That's my theory. Uh. And and I think this hints 618 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 1: to it even more because I just don't see the 619 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: show being like, yeah, Tashia, you can say that Zax 620 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 1: has been material, like go for it even though you're 621 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 1: with him, and there's no way, zero chance said if 622 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 1: she's with somebody else, she would say Zach Like that 623 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 1: would be awful, Like you can't do that, that would 624 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 1: be awful. I mean, Ellen asked a fantastic question there. 625 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 1: I can't believe she didn't she actually answered it, and 626 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,840 Speaker 1: which which does point to your theory and makes sense 627 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 1: because I think that if um, I think she could 628 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: have answered it with it's either him or him and 629 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: just give it two options, right. Yeah, well, hey, I 630 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 1: also know this when it comes to the big TV shows, 631 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 1: g M A. Ellen Today's show, like there's no prep 632 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 1: for the questions they're gonna ask. They they prep you 633 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 1: and say, hey, like don't give the season away, but 634 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: like there's no list of questions that say, hey, this 635 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 1: is what Ellen is going to ask you today. There's 636 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,000 Speaker 1: not that at all, So like, maybe this is a 637 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 1: mistake from Tasha when it comes to media. Maybe it's not, 638 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 1: but it is a big headline to read into. We 639 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 1: saw have no clue how this season ends.
