Speaker 1: Hey, everyone, welcome back to Bachler Happy Hour. I'm Joe
Speaker 1: and I'm Serena, and today we are going to be
Speaker 1: breaking down the one and only mister Ben Higgins night
Speaker 1: one because next week we're going to have Ben on
Speaker 1: and he's got maybe one of the more iconic seasons
Speaker 1: of the Bachelor. I feel like when I heard about
Speaker 1: the Bachelor, it was Ben Higgins. So should we get
Speaker 1: into it?
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's do it all right?
Speaker 1: If you listened when we have Pilot Pede on, we
Speaker 1: did the same thing. We are having some former leads
Speaker 1: come on Happy Hour and kind of just talk about
Speaker 1: like their first episode and catch up on what they
Speaker 1: got going on. Now we're friends with Ben, so he's
Speaker 1: the perfect person and it'll just be easy. So what
Speaker 1: did you think on his limo entrances?
Speaker 3: This is so crazy because we watched it separately, so like,
Speaker 3: I actually don't know what you're gonna say about.
Speaker 1: It all, and I will I will say, like I
Speaker 1: have an idea, Like, obviously Jojo Fletcher becomes the Bachelorette,
Speaker 1: so you know she does well, but I don't know.
Speaker 1: I actually don't know who Bend's top four were from.
Speaker 2: Oh you don't know? Okay, I went and looked it up.
Speaker 3: I mean, I did watch the season when it came out,
Speaker 3: but I couldn't remember.
Speaker 1: But I haven't. I like who like the strong women
Speaker 1: out of the Limo, like the strong Limo entrances. I
Speaker 1: would have to say.
Speaker 2: That.
Speaker 1: Olivia, Yep, she was very confident, and then she ends
Speaker 1: up getting his first impression Rose yep. Uh, what's her name? Kayla?
Speaker 2: Kayla?
Speaker 1: Yet? Kayla? Was that was a good one.
Speaker 2: He ran and like jumped in his arm.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Is she at top four?
Speaker 2: Do you want me to tell you?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: Okay, let's see if I get this Jojo Fletcher.
Speaker 2: Yep, so JoJo's entrance.
Speaker 3: Do we want to talk about any of the packages
Speaker 3: in the beginner?
Speaker 2: Has chat with the boys or anything? Are we getting
Speaker 2: to these Limo entrances.
Speaker 1: We could?
Speaker 2: Damn? I feel like I've ruined the flow.
Speaker 1: Now you didn't ruin the flow. We'll go back. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about let me just guess my top four first.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, playing a game Olivia? Yeah, Kayla?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 1: Jojo Fletcher, I thought she was very confident like she
Speaker 1: came out. I was not. I was shocked that she
Speaker 1: she came out with like a cat mask or whatever.
Speaker 1: She yeah, and then I would say, I don't know
Speaker 1: if there was another limo entrance that really stood out
Speaker 1: for me. I mean, I like the twins, but we've
Speaker 1: I've had them on the podcast. I think they're just great.
Speaker 1: Over overall, there.
Speaker 3: Were I was I will say the limo entrances having
Speaker 3: just watched Peter season and now like season episode one
Speaker 3: and Ben's episode one, the limo entrances on Peter season
Speaker 3: were stronger, like much stronger. There was a couple, there's
Speaker 3: a couple of weird ones on Ben's season. I think
Speaker 3: the standouts came more like after the limos in the house.
Speaker 3: But even then, like I feel like you saw a
Speaker 3: lot of me. I don't know, like the women in
Speaker 3: Pete season, for some reason just were more memorable throughout.
Speaker 3: But I think that they also like really spread the
Speaker 3: love of like showing different people talking to him and
Speaker 3: coming out of the limo and packages, Whereas with this,
Speaker 3: I would say the entire episode revolves around like lace.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, Amanda Stanton.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's you definitely know no, because.
Speaker 1: Obviously I'm rung. Obviously he chooses Lauren b and she
Speaker 1: i don't. I don't choose her time, wouldn't.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, so you would have picked if you were
Speaker 3: watching Night one, you would have gone Kayla, Amanda, Jojo,
Speaker 3: and Olivia.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so his top four are.
Speaker 3: Shoot, I'm trying to make sure I'm right on this.
Speaker 3: It's Kayla, Amanda, Jojo, and Lauren. Okay, So Olivia is
Speaker 3: not in his top four. I believe she has like
Speaker 3: a dramatic exit in the season. I think she kind
Speaker 3: of becomes this like she gets this really like cringey
Speaker 3: storyline where she's just kind of constantly being like awkward
Speaker 3: and the girls don't really like her and she just
Speaker 3: doesn't look great, and I think she ends up going
Speaker 3: home like middle of the season. I think she's like
Speaker 3: way more, ends up way more into him than he
Speaker 3: isn't to her. Like it's just like a downwards boto
Speaker 3: for Olivia from Night one with the first impression Rose,
Speaker 3: but like I don't know, she had an interesting story,
Speaker 3: like she is like looks so great night one, she
Speaker 3: is like so beautiful and stuff, but I just she
Speaker 3: just didn't connect.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like if I was watching this today, like if
Speaker 1: this was the new season, I would be like that girls,
Speaker 1: this stuff is probably gonna win.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think. I think that's probably how a lot
Speaker 3: of people felt when it came out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so let's let's cut to the very beginning
Speaker 1: of the episode where we see, you know, we get
Speaker 1: this all American back shooting.
Speaker 3: Indiana from Indiana. He's driving around his hometown. He's twenty six,
Speaker 3: which I which is young for the bachelor.
Speaker 1: It's very young. That's the first question I'm going to
Speaker 1: ask him, because the truth is he I think he
Speaker 1: was the first like young bachelor, Like that was a thing.
Speaker 3: Hannah Brown I think was twenty.
Speaker 2: Five when she was the bachelorette.
Speaker 1: Yeah about women mature.
Speaker 3: She was also young. She was one of the younger
Speaker 3: ones too. I feel like all the bachelors are usually
Speaker 3: twenty eight plus.
Speaker 2: Twell, I haven't.
Speaker 1: Well, I think Colton was twenty.
Speaker 2: Seven, twenty seven, okay, yeah, but.
Speaker 1: But Ben was the first because then we see like, oh, actually,
Speaker 1: I don't know how old Sean Lowe was because he
Speaker 1: was probably pretty young too. Maybe he was the first
Speaker 1: young one. But anyways, at the beginning of the episode,
Speaker 1: we see Sean Lowe, Chris Soles.
Speaker 2: And Jason Mesnick.
Speaker 1: Jason Mesnick have like the sky chat that like lasted
Speaker 1: a long.
Speaker 2: It goes up for like many minutes.
Speaker 3: It's one of the longest group chats I've seen in
Speaker 3: an intro, like it's just going. But honestly, at that time,
Speaker 3: those were like three of the biggest leads from the franchise.
Speaker 1: Chris Sols Chrystal's advice was to just kiss kiss them all. Yeah, Chris,
Speaker 1: good advice.
Speaker 3: Chris, Yeah, Christal's give the advice kiss all the girls.
Speaker 3: Sean Lowe and Jason Messick are obviously at the time
Speaker 3: and still are to this day with the women that
Speaker 3: they chose, so you know they are like.
Speaker 1: That's actually impressive, I know, right, because uh, how many
Speaker 1: kids they Him and Catherine have like three kids?
Speaker 2: Yeah, like three beautiful kids.
Speaker 1: I've never had them on the podcast. We could see
Speaker 1: if they could come on the podcast.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let us knows. You guys want us to reach
Speaker 2: out to Sean and Catherine. I'd love to have them
Speaker 2: on the podcast.
Speaker 3: But there I feel like great pillars of like, hey,
Speaker 3: we're pillars of hope, like we did this, you.
Speaker 2: Can do it too.
Speaker 3: I also think a lot of people had hope for
Speaker 3: Ben to like be another major success story because he is, yeah,
Speaker 3: this like all American boy. He doesn't know if he
Speaker 3: deserves love or if he's gonna find it, but he
Speaker 3: really wants it. And he did give off this vibe
Speaker 3: of like I'm serious and I'm ready to settle down.
Speaker 1: He was honestly, he was like like the first time
Speaker 1: I kind of knew, Like when I heard people talking
Speaker 1: about like the Bachelor, like girls that were like my age,
Speaker 1: it was it was like Ben, like this guy, Ben Higgins.
Speaker 1: So like his season. I think Ben's season was probably
Speaker 1: like the biggest. Maybe it was I remember like really
Speaker 1: just like word of mouth, like hearing about like people
Speaker 1: talking about it all over them.
Speaker 3: I mean Ben came off of Caitlin Bristow season of
Speaker 3: The Batch Tray, which was also a very big season.
Speaker 3: But we've got the intro package All American Boy chats
Speaker 3: with the boys, and then we get into the packages
Speaker 3: with the women.
Speaker 1: Those also lasted pretty long.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they last a long time too.
Speaker 3: I feel like we've we've cut down on those, Yeah,
Speaker 3: comparing to like Pete's episode one at least, Yeah, I
Speaker 3: will sit Ben.
Speaker 1: I noticed when the women we were getting out of
Speaker 1: the limos, like the like The first girl we saw
Speaker 1: was Lauren, who he ends up choosing. Yeah, but like
Speaker 1: you see he he comes she looks.
Speaker 3: So young too, but but no, yeah, they all do.
Speaker 3: I mean this was like twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1: But he comes across really nervous, and as the limo
Speaker 1: entrances go on, you see him shad that and really
Speaker 1: relax and he's like really becoming his own And I
Speaker 1: think that, I don't know, I just relate to that
Speaker 1: because that's how I feel like I would have been too,
Speaker 1: like a nervous rest. That's how you were, Yeah, nervous
Speaker 1: ark at the beginning, and then you kind of liked
Speaker 1: and then you like, you see his personality. I think
Speaker 1: they did a good job of Night one showing off
Speaker 1: Ben's personality.
Speaker 3: I think so too, Yeah, which sometimes I find can
Speaker 3: probably be hard for the lead because they are trying
Speaker 3: to have you get to know all these different women
Speaker 3: with all these big personalities. But Ben, having met him
Speaker 3: now a few times in person, and I mean, you
Speaker 3: know him better than me, but he does have like
Speaker 3: quite a vibrant personality.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So, like it's not hard.
Speaker 1: If you check out my Instagram post and you scroll
Speaker 1: like three slides, you will see Ben dancing.
Speaker 3: Ben is a dance for maniac think I've never seen before.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, He's tearing up at Nick's wedding. It
Speaker 2: was so funny.
Speaker 3: But yeah, limo entrances that stood out to me obviously,
Speaker 3: like Lauren was first of the limo. Kayla was good,
Speaker 3: but yeah, there was some there was some rough intros.
Speaker 3: There was I would say there was more rough than
Speaker 3: solid little entrances, yeah, which I didn't feel for Pizza's
Speaker 3: And I remember thinking, like, Pizza's a lot of really
Speaker 3: good limo entrances, Jojo, but also.
Speaker 1: Just just to stop you there, it's also just like
Speaker 1: it's because it's been around for so long and now
Speaker 1: so people that go on the show really do watch.
Speaker 1: And I feel like back when it was like Ben's season,
Speaker 1: a lot of people probably did go on the show
Speaker 1: and really like didn't know like kind.
Speaker 3: But I feel like the gimmicky entrances used to be
Speaker 3: more of a thing back in the day, Like there
Speaker 3: was a lot of really gimmicky ones, like do you
Speaker 3: think Jojo Fletcher's coming out of the limo with a
Speaker 3: unicorn helmet on today?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Like no, like when she I actually was shocked, I
Speaker 3: was like, I can't believe that was her entrance because
Speaker 3: it was kind of cringey. But at the same time,
Speaker 3: she's so beautiful and she's so confident that she is
Speaker 3: like one.
Speaker 2: Of the only people that could make that cool.
Speaker 3: Like I would not make that cool if I had
Speaker 3: to wear a massive unicorn mask over my head.
Speaker 1: Can make it cool?
Speaker 3: You think, Yeah, thanks Joey of honor that you think
Speaker 3: that I could make that cool. But she did a
Speaker 3: great job because she was like just really calm, but
Speaker 3: in I feel like she was one of the people
Speaker 3: that really stood out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 3: And then the Twins, I think the Twins is maybe
Speaker 3: one of the first times they've had twins twins if
Speaker 3: the only time they've had twins on potentially.
Speaker 1: Maybe they're but meeting them and having them on the podcast,
Speaker 1: they are so personable.
Speaker 2: They're so fun. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I listened to your podcast with them when they had
Speaker 3: they were on Clickbait, and I thought they were great.
Speaker 2: They're both married with.
Speaker 3: Kids now yea too, But I remember when they came
Speaker 3: on because they were on Clickbait with you, right, yeah,
Speaker 3: I remember them saying, like we just we were just
Speaker 3: there to have fun, like truly, like did we think
Speaker 3: we were going to engage to Ben at the end
Speaker 3: of it, Like, no, we didn't. Like we were twenty
Speaker 3: two years old, we're young, we're twins. Were like yeah,
Speaker 3: like maybe this is our doom. But they were like,
Speaker 3: We're just there to have a good time. And I
Speaker 3: feel like that show, but like in a good way,
Speaker 3: Like all their interviews are so funny. Yeah, they're so
Speaker 3: bubbling charismatic, like they they were a good cast for.
Speaker 1: And then I think Lace is kind of the woman
Speaker 1: that's spiraling night one also like starting a lot of
Speaker 1: ship like potential, villain potential, just like sporadic crazy decisions.
Speaker 2: She's the wild card.
Speaker 1: I mean, it makes sense. I never I didn't. I
Speaker 1: didn't watch Bend season, but I watched Lace on Paradise.
Speaker 1: Remember when she went on Paradise and she like said
Speaker 1: it was her birthday and it wasn't was her twice? Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I'm talking about I watched her when the last
Speaker 1: time she was on, which was like.
Speaker 3: Whoa, I actually totally forgot that she's been on it.
Speaker 3: Yeah recent times, like very recently. She was on the
Speaker 3: last season.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that wasn't the last season.
Speaker 3: The season prior the season prior. Okay, yeah yeah, and
Speaker 3: she was going around telling everyone it was her birthday.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Wow, She's still got like a kooky personality in the beast.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this makes sense, and this makes
Speaker 1: total sense why they brought her back.
Speaker 3: Lace is the star of this first episode, aside from
Speaker 3: Ben Like, Lace is getting so much screen time.
Speaker 2: She's doing some crazy stuff.
Speaker 3: Her entrance is like, I feel like someone does this
Speaker 3: every season and I want to hear what your thoughts
Speaker 3: are on it. But she walks to the limo, tells
Speaker 3: him to close his eyes, gives him a kiss, and
Speaker 3: it's like I wanted to be the first kiss of
Speaker 3: the night.
Speaker 2: That would I wouldn't love that.
Speaker 3: If I'm the lead, I'd probably be like please, like
Speaker 3: please don't do that, Like please don't tell me to
Speaker 3: close my eyes and kiss me, Like I please don't
Speaker 3: do that.
Speaker 1: Think I mean, yeah, it's kind of like.
Speaker 2: Like a cheap kiss cue.
Speaker 3: But I think I, like, did not consent for you
Speaker 3: to just kiss me on the mouth.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, it's kind of creepy. Think it is like
Speaker 1: if I if like you were the bachelorette and I
Speaker 1: was like and I just met you, and I was
Speaker 1: like close your eyes and I went in for a kiss.
Speaker 1: I think it would be a big I like, what.
Speaker 2: Do you think you're doing? Yeah, I literally what do
Speaker 2: you think you're doing?
Speaker 1: It would be a big problem if you like.
Speaker 3: Kiss me on the cheek or hand, like oh so sweet.
Speaker 3: But it's also like Dobbler Dahmer theory.
Speaker 2: Do you know what that is?
Speaker 3: Where like someone can do something that's in that gray
Speaker 3: zone and if he was really into her, it's okay,
Speaker 3: it's cute, romantic and sweet, but if he's not into her,
Speaker 3: it's like creepy and weird.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I think that's yeah, that sounds about right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but she yeah, I mean, yeah, she is kind of
Speaker 1: the star. Beckatilly comes back Beca and Amber. Yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Becatilly was a back to back season girl.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I forgot that she did two seasons in a row.
Speaker 3: So Beckatilly was runner up on Crystals the season. I
Speaker 3: think she like kind of sort of sent herself home, okay,
Speaker 3: and then she came back.
Speaker 1: It makes sense because there's no world where Beccatilly is.
Speaker 3: And Crystals work out. Yeah, no world, no world in
Speaker 3: which that happens. But also like crystals of such a
Speaker 3: unique lifestyle, Like whoever he's ending up with really has
Speaker 3: to be comfortable living on a farm in the middle
Speaker 3: of Iowa. Yeah, so I can't really I mean, Becketilly
Speaker 3: lives in Californias, she's in la I can't really picture
Speaker 3: her like on a farm for the rest of her life.
Speaker 3: But anyway, so when she comes back and does Ben's season,
Speaker 3: now a lot of I don't even know if you
Speaker 3: would notice this, but a lot of short dresses Becu
Speaker 3: till he was wearing a black mini, but Amanda Stanton
Speaker 3: was wearing a short dress. There was like quite a
Speaker 3: few girls with like short, little body con dresses which
Speaker 3: looked great, but like you would just never see that now,
Speaker 3: like it's it's all gowns.
Speaker 1: Yeah, see, I don't I don't notice that.
Speaker 3: I know, I know, but it's interesting for me to
Speaker 3: like see how the fashion has changed so much, Like
Speaker 3: Jojo wore short dress. Like I don't think one girl
Speaker 3: on my season war short dress.
Speaker 1: Really see, I would feel like that's what most girls
Speaker 1: would wear. I feel like a long dress is almost
Speaker 1: too formal.
Speaker 2: It's a formal night.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I guess if there's one night I
Speaker 3: feel like that, like, you don't wear short dress nowadays.
Speaker 2: It's night one on the Bachelor.
Speaker 3: Okay, it's too horrible. Joe always thinks everything's too horrible. Casual,
Speaker 3: you do like casual. But anyway, back it, Tilly and
Speaker 3: Amber show up. Amber, who we have also met in Chicago.
Speaker 3: Whose season was she on?
Speaker 1: Originally maybe Chris Soles as well? Okay, but because but
Speaker 1: Chris Soles and Ben were That's why I always get
Speaker 1: confused how this went down, because Chris Soles and Ben
Speaker 1: were on the same season.
Speaker 2: They were both on Kaitlyn's season. Yeah, and then are
Speaker 2: you sure?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: And then Chris became the Bachelor.
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: And then who became the bachelorette from Chris Soles this season?
Speaker 1: Oh wait no, maybe I am wrong? Yeah, because maybe
Speaker 1: Caitlin becomes the bachelorette.
Speaker 2: I think Andy Dorfman season.
Speaker 1: You're right?
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, Okay, really study up, buddy, You're right.
Speaker 1: So it was so it was Andy, Chrys Soles.
Speaker 3: Katelynn Yeah, and then Becca was from Crystals this season.
Speaker 3: Amber was from Crystals this season potentially, but I believe
Speaker 3: she went home early on because you could tell a
Speaker 3: lot of the girls knew who Becca was, but weren't
Speaker 3: certain who Amber was.
Speaker 1: And then what else anything else big happened in this episode.
Speaker 1: I mean, Olivia gets the first impression Rose. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: to find out like, yeah, she I guess she doesn't
Speaker 1: even make it, doesn't even make top four. I would
Speaker 1: say that that was pretty rare.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I feel like that happens more on the
Speaker 3: Boucher than the baucher Arette.
Speaker 2: But it's it's always interesting.
Speaker 3: I feel like the first impression Rose winner always either
Speaker 3: goes like halfway middle of the pack and then kind
Speaker 3: of like fizzles out or like makes it far. I
Speaker 3: feel like it's not as common for them to almost
Speaker 3: have like a villain storyline.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she really isn't giving villain night one either.
Speaker 1: No, but she is. She's very well that's the thing
Speaker 1: usually when you are very confident, that ends up upsetting someone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and if it upsets a pack.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think she's friends with Ashley. I I could
Speaker 3: be wrong about that. Maybe I think her nash are friends,
Speaker 3: but yeah, I mean Lace is really the start of
Speaker 3: the show. She's doing a lot of funny itms talking
Speaker 3: shit about people.
Speaker 1: Like if I'm watching, I'm like, okay, I can't wait
Speaker 1: to see what Lace does actually say, right, same, I
Speaker 1: can't say yeah, well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because Lace's train of events.
Speaker 3: She comes out the limage, kisses Ben, then she's freaking
Speaker 3: out about talking to him. She finally talks to him
Speaker 3: and she's like, hey, let's make out some more, and
Speaker 3: Ben like nicely rejects her.
Speaker 2: It's basically like, look, I want to spend this. I'm
Speaker 2: getting to know you.
Speaker 1: And then he called when he goes and then he
Speaker 1: goes back to her.
Speaker 3: Then he pulls her back again and is like, hey,
Speaker 3: I want to apologize, not apologize, but just like make
Speaker 3: sure you understood where I was coming from and you're okay.
Speaker 1: Which has to be a great confidence booster for her
Speaker 1: when he did that.
Speaker 2: Understand it's so nice of him to do that too,
Speaker 2: because like.
Speaker 1: Actually can't believe he did that me either, Like.
Speaker 3: He really went out of his way to like make
Speaker 3: sure she like was inspiraling about that conversation. Yeah, but
Speaker 3: he probably was thinking like damn, this girl like shot
Speaker 3: her shot with me, and like I kind of was
Speaker 3: like no, And then they got pulled away immediately, and
Speaker 3: then she pulls him at the end of the rose ceremony,
Speaker 3: which was so unexpected where they're like about to toast
Speaker 3: and she's like, hey, can I talk to you? And
Speaker 3: she's like, you didn't even look at me once this
Speaker 3: rose ceremony. You didn't look at me the entire time,
Speaker 3: Like I know you didn't, Like, if you want me
Speaker 3: to go home, just say so and you can tell.
Speaker 2: Ben is like, am I getting this right?
Speaker 3: Like you are mad at me because I didn't look
Speaker 3: at you tonight and she was like, you didn't look
Speaker 3: at me once and he was like, I'm sorry, question mark,
Speaker 3: and she's like, do you want me to go home?
Speaker 3: He's like, well, if I wanted to go home, I
Speaker 3: would have literally just sent you home right now because
Speaker 3: I fully have that capability and I didn't.
Speaker 2: So it's all good, wild.
Speaker 1: Move And the truth is that's what the show is
Speaker 1: missing these days.
Speaker 2: Lace just keep rying her back season no.
Speaker 1: But but it was like that was like part of
Speaker 1: something like that. You have people that will just be
Speaker 1: like I'm unhinged and this is like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I want to talk to him. I
Speaker 3: got things to say. I'm gonna pull him right now.
Speaker 3: You know who also used to do that kind of
Speaker 3: stuff was Queen Victoria on Matt James's season and was great.
Speaker 3: She was so good for the show, like truly such
Speaker 3: and great for us as contestants from morale, Like she
Speaker 3: was such an entertaining presence and just kind of was like,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do what I want when I want.
Speaker 1: And we honestly we see a little bit of that
Speaker 1: with Hannah Ann and Pilot Pete were Hannah, She's just like,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna pull the keep grabbing him because this
Speaker 1: is going great.
Speaker 2: I know, I feel like we're missing that a little bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's because people watch and they know that, they
Speaker 1: know that and like.
Speaker 3: Or it just ends up like people do it, but
Speaker 3: it gets taken like too seriously. Yeah, it's not like
Speaker 3: fun as much anymore.
Speaker 1: I wonder is is Lace a I wonder if Lace
Speaker 1: is like a villain or is she friends with everyone?
Speaker 1: Like do the girls like end up not liking her.
Speaker 2: I don't know, it's a good question. I can't remember.
Speaker 3: I feel like she doesn't make it far enough to
Speaker 3: probably become a villains after this, Like I I don't
Speaker 3: know if Paradise was a thing yet after.
Speaker 1: This, Like watching like Kayla, I'm like, oh, she's.
Speaker 3: Great, Like Kyla, Quinn yeah, like she is person sprised.
Speaker 3: If she would have if it wasn't Jojo, I could
Speaker 3: see them making her the bouchelorette.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's very cute.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 3: So let's run through some of the people that end
Speaker 3: up end up on other shows. Yeah, so we got
Speaker 3: Lauren who ends up with Ben engaged at the end,
Speaker 3: didn't work out. Now she's with that singer Chris Chris Lane.
Speaker 3: Chris Lane. So really worked out for her. Kayla ended
Speaker 3: up on Paradise. Did she Yes, she was dating She
Speaker 3: dated Jared for a hot minute.
Speaker 1: Okay, oh wow, you.
Speaker 2: Definitely you definitely knew that.

Speaker 1: was how was it being the Bachelor at twenty six
Speaker 1: and if it would be Does he think it would
Speaker 1: be different if he was the bachelor now? Like his mentality?
Speaker 3: I think the answer is definitely, But I'm curious to

Speaker 1: he was ready?
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it did it? Did he really? He did
Speaker 3: seem ready. I mean he got engaged and they were together.
Speaker 2: For a minute.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they had a show too, Yeah, and.
Speaker 3: Then like not soon after, but then he his next
Speaker 3: relationship was his now wife, So I don't doubt that
Speaker 3: he was ready. You know, you see his parents on

Speaker 3: they think about all of it?
Speaker 2: But we have lots of questions to ask Ben.

Speaker 3: season sparks so many new questions that like we can't
Speaker 3: ask current leads. Yeah, because hindsight's always twenty twenty. For
Speaker 3: them to be able to look back on their season,

Speaker 3: about it now than they would have at the time.
