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 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: with her radio. It is a very special week. Yes,

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: today is the first official day that the almost Famous

4
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: podcast is breaking down this year's episode of The Bachelorette. Ashley,

5
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: How pumped are you to be back in season now? Officially? Oh,

6
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: it's so fun to have something to concretely talk about

7
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 1: it is. It's great. We've had a lot of fun

8
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: in the off season. A lot of stuff happening in

9
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 1: Bachelor Nation. Uh, not as many changes as maybe the

10
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: off season before the last year then, uh, but now

11
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: we're back talking about this season. I have a feeling actually,

12
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: before we do this podcast, I always get on Twitter

13
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: and try to get the the like, very non scientific

14
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: um VI of what Bachelor Nation is feeling. I will

15
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: say this to kick us off. I think they really

16
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: like gabbing Rachel a lot. I think so too. I'm

17
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: so excited for everyone. Yeah, and I think they're gonna

18
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: like get like, this isn't a I don't even know

19
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: what season it would be where we like start out

20
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: really liking the lead and then as the season goes on,

21
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: we kind of like, you know, we don't like him

22
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: as much. Now I think gabbing Rachel are only going

23
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: to continue to shine when you like look up stuff.

24
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: Even on like message boards, people seem to always be

25
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: positive about them. There's like not a lot of hate

26
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: out there, not a lot of criticism. I don't want

27
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: to say heye, but criticism. Uh. And I think that

28
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: we We had people come to Audrey yesterday for a

29
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,559
Speaker 1: watch party, the Packed House, and I had already watched

30
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: the episode. I was getting some work done in the

31
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: back room when the episode was actually airing, you know

32
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: when people are mingling about before the episode. Of course

33
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: I'm out there, but um, I was listening to the

34
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: crowd reaction and they loved the episode. They were just

35
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: they were so vocal and they were laughing, and it

36
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: was totally different than the Clayton season. The Clayton season

37
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: we got more like no but with this we got

38
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: a lot of laughter, a lot of like cheering. It

39
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: was awesome. Yeah, I think it's going to continue to

40
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: be well. Uh followed. That is interesting. Actually your watch party,

41
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: do people watch it or is it just on in

42
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: the background and people aren't engaged or are they very engaged? No,

43
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: that's like it's really cool. I thought, Oh, we're gonna

44
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: have a watch party. It's like they see some people

45
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: that mingle, they're not going to ever pay attention to

46
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: the episode and then they're gonna have to go home

47
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: and watch it. But not at all. So we do

48
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 1: like I like go around the room before the show,

49
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: and then after the show, Jared and I and do

50
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: like a little meet and great mingle, and we do

51
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: like Q and A during like an innermission and like

52
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: towards the end. But like people are glued into the

53
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: show the entire time. It's really it's nice, really nice.

54
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: They're totally n now here's the weird part, Ashley. Uh,

55
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 1: something interesting to consider. The ratings have just came out

56
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: as of twenty seven minutes ago. Holy crap. So oh god, Ben,

57
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: the suspense making even more suspense than you already are.

58
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: It is crazy to think this season eighteen so last

59
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: season of ABC's Bachelor averaged a point six five rating

60
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: in the eighteen to forty nine demographic and two point

61
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: eight nine million viewers. That's last season, okay, two point

62
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: eight nine, two point nine million, two million million, two million,

63
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: eight thousand for Michell for Michells okay, and last night

64
00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: in the eighteen to forty nine demo. It was down

65
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: with two point seven million viewers, which is a total

66
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: of being down nine percent from last year's premiere. What

67
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: was the number? The million number? Two point seven million.

68
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: Two point seven million versus two point nine is that interesting?

69
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: I did not expect that. I really thought neither that

70
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: Last Night was going to be a massive home run.

71
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: Now I think it's still won the evening. I think

72
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: it still was the highest watch show on network television. However, um,

73
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 1: people maybe aren't tuning in Night Of. That could still

74
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: be a thing. Maybe, Uh, when the streaming numbers come out,

75
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: they're going to see that people tune in tonight or tomorrow.

76
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's down, which is shocking to me. As

77
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: we get started, I think it's gonna be a great season.

78
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: I will say right now, I think people should watch

79
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: this season if they're at all a fan of the

80
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: franchise and they're looking for maybe that kind of throwback

81
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: old school feel where the contestants, uh so far haven't

82
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: added a lot of drama. The bachelorettes are incredible leads.

83
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 1: I think this is going to have a great feel.

84
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: But as far as we know right now, people didn't

85
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: tune in and so we're gonna to wait and see.

86
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: That doesn't change our excitement for this season. It doesn't

87
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 1: change our excitement to break down this episode. We have

88
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: a whole lot to break down, and so let's start,

89
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 1: Ashley with the introduction of the two bachelorettes. You mentioned

90
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: during the Twelve Days of Celebration that you felt like

91
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: it was we were having a hard time as viewers

92
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: connecting with the leads over the last few seasons. Did

93
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,679
Speaker 1: you feel like this show did a good job last

94
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: night helping us connect and root for Gabby and Rachel.

95
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: I feel like Gaby and Rachel are our friends. I

96
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: definitely feel like we know them. They're like our galp House. Yeah,

97
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: and again, I want to reiterate, I feel like we've

98
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: gotten that sense of unknowing more so with The Bachelor's bachelorettes,

99
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: because like, I feel pretty friendly with Michelle and Katie too,

100
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: even though I don't know them both personally very well. Uh,

101
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: I would say the same thing. I think The Bachelor

102
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: needs a great season. I didn't and the Indians a

103
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: side note, I didn't see last night's too early on.

104
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: Any guys that stood out was like, that's gonna be

105
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: the next Bachelor, Like that looks like the Bachelor to me.

106
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: I think there should be some guys in the weeks

107
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: two and three that really shine and shows who they

108
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: are and we'll go, oh, yeah, that makes sense. Now.

109
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 1: Last night I just didn't get that feeling, which is

110
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: great because it was very focused on Gabby and Rachel.

111
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: Best part of the episode to me was right off

112
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: the beginning. Can you guess what it was? Um, I'll

113
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: just tell you right now. Then. Yeah, I don't want

114
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: to guess the so amazing missed belly bump that both

115
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: of them did when they saw each other after Rachel

116
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 1: landed in l A in her plane and Gabby went

117
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 1: to pick her up, and they like belly bumped each other,

118
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: but like one of them didn't really get off the ground,

119
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: the other one kind of did and they kind of

120
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: just like missed each other and then fell backwards. I

121
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: was like, I like these girls, these girls, these are

122
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: real girls who are just here to have a good

123
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: time and to try to figure out if this thing

124
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: can work. And that's when I was like, I am

125
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: cheering for them from now until the end. Yeah, I

126
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: agree that. You know what makes me laugh when Gabby's

127
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: like yeah. Yeah, Well, like she said yesterday in her interview,

128
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: and uh, if you did not listen to her interview

129
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: with Gabby and Rachel, we encourage you to go back

130
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: and listen to that that aired last night at nine pm.

131
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: We had both leads on. Gabby admitted that Rachel puts

132
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: words to thoughts and that Gabby just likes to stand

133
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: there and kind of say yeah, because Rachel has the words.

134
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: And I think that's great. Good for them. I love that.

135
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: That's like us, Ben, You're like blood bla bla bla blah.

136
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, well, sometimes you have to have a

137
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: great partner um and you balance each other out. And

138
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:22,559
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna balance each other out really well. Okay,

139
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: So that leads us into the second segment of the episode. Actually,

140
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear your thoughts on this. The

141
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: men were filmed watching kind of the announcement of the

142
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: two bachelorettes. We kind of had a behind the scenes

143
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: look at them watching with their families or in their

144
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: hotel rooms. What did you think of that little segment? Okay?

145
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: I liked the segment That felt like the draft day,

146
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: like they were sitting there waiting for their names to

147
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: be called, right, everybody was so excited when the two

148
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: were announced and its it seemed like real genuine excitement

149
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: that they were getting two bachelorettes, and the two bachelorettes

150
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: were who they were really really adorable. Actually, what I

151
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: don't remember bern now, like now that I'm like twenty

152
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: four hours removed from watching the episode, there is no package,

153
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: no guy package that really stood with me as being like, ah,

154
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: that one there wasn't really was there. Did they even

155
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: have packages? We didn't have packages. Okay, we didn't have package.

156
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: That's why I don't remember guys. That's why I don't remember.

157
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: But we did get like little intros, little little here

158
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: or there's right, Yeah, I will tell you this. I'm not. Yeah,

159
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: I kind of enjoy two things that happened last night. One, uh,

160
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: none of these guys were introduced to us months ago

161
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: at some live show. I'm over that. That was just weird.

162
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: It didn't make any sense. I felt like it kind

163
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: of set them up to be front runners early on,

164
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: even though a lot of them never lasted past the

165
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: you know past earlier one. But it was just it's

166
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: just awkward and it didn't really make sense to me.

167
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: The second is I can go without the packages. I mean, apparently,

168
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: we definitely can go without the packages. I just so

169
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: there are some packages in the past that do stand

170
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: out to me. You do get to go to know

171
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: the guys a little better, some of them from these packages.

172
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: But oftentimes, if you've noticed recently and tell me if

173
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: you think I'm crazy, a lot of the packages have

174
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 1: included people that just don't last very long. So we

175
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: waste half of the episode watching a bunch of dudes

176
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: who we don't watch past night one. So so true. Yeah,

177
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: because really the producers don't know when they go and

178
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: they pick, you know, they pick like a third of

179
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: people to go meet in their hometown. They don't know

180
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: who's going to really last. Just use their best guess. Yeah,

181
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: so I'm okay trying without it. I mean I do

182
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: think some of them are important. I remember the Tyler

183
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: Cameron package where he's like shirtless dancing around in some

184
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: house that he was building back then. Uh, And I

185
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: was like, what that dude's like about, Like he's like

186
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: a professional dancer, Like, well, how's this going to play out?

187
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: He's so like agile. Yeah, that was the beginning of

188
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: his Patrick Swayze vibe. Yeah, yeah, and then you know

189
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: that sticks with me that I remember that that package.

190
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: But for the most part, they're pretty forgettable, and so

191
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: we just got the behind the scenes of them getting

192
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 1: excited about the announcement. Probably one of those reasons. And

193
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna have this all season. One of

194
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: the reasons I'm excited. Uh, they probably cut packages because

195
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna have so much content to show that we

196
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: don't need any filler space, Like we don't need those

197
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: random kind of segments that don't make a lot of

198
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: sense for the season. I bet we have less b

199
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 1: roll this season than ever where people are walking around

200
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: the city's I bet we have still beautiful pictures of

201
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: the landscape. But I think we just have a lot

202
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: of content to get through. I mean, we saw it

203
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: with Gabby and Rachel. They said it yesterday. They barely

204
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: got to talk to you, but they talked to half

205
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: of the people on Night one. Because I think it's

206
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: it's wild. It's wild. I talked to every single person,

207
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: every single person, and I had spoken on my Night

208
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: one not because it was something that I mean, I

209
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: wanted to do that obviously. I think everybody wants to

210
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: do that, but it was just part of it, like

211
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 1: you did. We were able to do it because there

212
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: wasn't so many I think Chris, I think Chris Souls

213
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: maybe didn't talk to like four or five of the girls,

214
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: but out of I think we had thirty. That's a

215
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: huge chunk. And the fact that, like they said, collectively,

216
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: they only got through half is so crazy. I don't

217
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: know why that is. There had to be more going

218
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: on behind the scenes. I but they had more time

219
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: Rachel and Gabby talking like on the side that they

220
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: were filming, because if two of them, between the two

221
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: of them, you would think they would been able to

222
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,599
Speaker 1: get to everybody. Yeah, you would think, you know, the

223
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 1: guys may not have talked to both, but yeah, I

224
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: don't know. So Okay, so we get tonight one. Now,

225
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: Actually we are at the mansion. Uh, the guys are

226
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: going to be pulling up, They're getting excited. Uh. What

227
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: are your thoughts now in this moment as you're watching

228
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: the episode? Are you excited? Are you anxious? Um? Are

229
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: you do you feel like you're watching The Bachelor again?

230
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: Or do you do you feel like this is kind

231
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: of some spinoff show because there's two bachelorettes. Oh, I

232
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: feel like I'm I'm watching the Bachelorette. There are two

233
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: things that I really stand out to me about like

234
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: this section of the episode. One, why did Gabby get

235
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: the much better dress? Good question? Do you feel like?

236
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: I feel like com I wanted to almost ask them yesterday,

237
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: but I was like, no, I'm not going to say

238
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: that to Rachel, like that's sad, like of course not.

239
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: But like Gabby gets this Volvo Boom dress and then

240
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 1: Rachel's covered up to her neck. I don't know it

241
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,079
Speaker 1: just wasn't a fan of that dress. And I just

242
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: thought that like one was such a like a stunt

243
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: or interesting unique dress, and I think it's just a lot.

244
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: I think like it actually like something like that. Well,

245
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: it seems vain and surface level. They get in a

246
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: moment where the two of them are standing next to

247
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: each other, they need to have comparable dresses. Here's the truth.

248
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: I didn't even realize this. Um then I don't even

249
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: remember what dresses either of them were wearing. Um, But

250
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: I'm glad you bring that out now. I imagine Ashley,

251
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: at least in my scenario, they picked their dress. Of course,

252
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: you're probably right there was definitely a say, it wasn't

253
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: like Carrie the stylist was like, you're gonna wear this

254
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: and you're gonna wear that. I'm sure that they had

255
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: both a selection to choose from, and I'm not saying

256
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: that like obviously Rachel's dress is pretty. Is just like

257
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: Garry dress was so sexy and so like interesting, and

258
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: then there was just like, let me know, people, am

259
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: I being mean or do you totally understand what I'm saying? No?

260
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: I think I don't think it's mean. I think it's

261
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: a it's a fair opinion. I I one her though,

262
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: if we go one step further and say, okay, if

263
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: they got to pick their dresses, is this a part

264
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: of showing who they are their personality? Is? Uh? You

265
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: know Gabby felt more comfortable on night one, you know,

266
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: in that dress and kind of you know, showing who

267
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: she is, and then Rachel said, no, I want this

268
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: dress to show who I am. And that's just kind

269
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: of their unique personalities. Look at you, Ben side by side.

270
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: I love the way you think. Well, no, I mean

271
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: because it is you know, um, Rachel is definitely more reserved.

272
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: She um is like less sex forward, you know what.

273
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: I mean, Gabby is like talking about She's like it

274
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: hasn't been a year since I've had she's talking about

275
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: making out all that, and we wouldn't we wouldn't see

276
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: that from Rachel. Yeah. Actually that's a great point. So

277
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: it's a good parallel something to watch throughout the season.

278
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: Now is their two personalities kind of shining uniquely amongst

279
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: each other. Okay, so the guys pull up to the mansion, Ashley,

280
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: I think, Um, for just sake of simplicity here on

281
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: this podcast, let's go through some of the intros that

282
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: stood out to you. Which ones are memorable to you,

283
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: which ones are forgettable for you, Which ones are also

284
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: maybe memorable but a tad I don't want to say, awkward,

285
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: but maybe unattractive for you. Um, let's go through some

286
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: of those intros. You lead us along here, Okay, And

287
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: I just want to make my second point was that

288
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: I noticed that the guys would hug Gabby or look

289
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: at Gabby first, and I don't even know that that's

290
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: really an attraction things. I think both girls are so gorgeous. Um,

291
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: I think it might be like an open thing like

292
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: a Gabby might be like a little bit more like outgoing. Yeah.

293
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: I Also I thought about this because I remember my

294
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: Night one on the Bachelorette and having two bachelorettes there,

295
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: and I remember sitting in the limo right before I

296
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: walked out, and I asked the producer Todd, who was

297
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: sitting right across from me. I said, which one do

298
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: I say hi to? First? Like? Is there? I mean,

299
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: this is my night one. I have no training and

300
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: TV or how this camera stuff works. So I was like,

301
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: is there a formula all right on how you want

302
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: to do? It? Goes? No, you say hi to whicheveryone

303
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: you want. And that made me more nervous because I

304
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 1: was like, well, crap, I'm gonna lose either way here,

305
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 1: And so I just said hi to the person on

306
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: the right first, because it's kind of like it felt like,

307
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm I'm typically in life suede to

308
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: go to the right. You know, if there's two options

309
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: right or left, I'm gonna go right. It's just interesting

310
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: I would go left because it's like how you read

311
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 1: left or right? Fair? So I think it was I

312
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: think it's maybe just a comfort thing. I don't in

313
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: that moment, actually you know this, And and listeners you've

314
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: heard of say this. That is not a thought through moment.

315
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: You are black, like you are so nervous, like everything

316
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: goes blurry. You're just trying to walk the fifty feet

317
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 1: to get to them, not make a fool of yourself,

318
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,199
Speaker 1: say your name and get out of there so that

319
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,919
Speaker 1: you can get some like comfort. That is, there's no

320
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: there's very few people that confidently, uh have that moment

321
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: downpat and they do it like with a thought through

322
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: like with a thoughtful um action. I mean, that's why

323
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: I'm always impressed with these dudes who have like lines

324
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: and poems and huge entrances like you guys are crazy,

325
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: Like I literally couldn't walk even I was so nervous.

326
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: Um I was thinking, I want to make a point

327
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: to say, talk to a producer, and they said they

328
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 1: were very like they made it would be important thing

329
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 1: that the girls were together during that intro and not

330
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: separate like Caitlyn and Britt, because with Caitlyn and Britt,

331
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just setting them up to actually be

332
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: competing directly against each other, and they wanted it to

333
00:18:53,320 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 1: be like a united front. That's good. Okay, this is

334
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: like the first season where I wasn't really turned off

335
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: by any intro, Like I can't think of one that

336
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 1: I was like that was gross? Really, um, what you

337
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: just one throughout come up to you as being not

338
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: I thought it was I had a big like a

339
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: lot of a big issue. We're not a big issue.

340
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: Like I'm not like thinking I didn't like loose sleepover. Oh,

341
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: I know, I'm stupid. I thought the choir I thought

342
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: was inappropriate. I thought it was inappropriate for Clayton. I mean,

343
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: this dude, like he was just trying to go through

344
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 1: this process. I know people maybe aren't the biggest fans

345
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 1: of Clayton, but he showed himself to now be a

346
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 1: very committed boyfriend to Susie, and he's you know, worked

347
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: his way out of this. You know, obviously his name

348
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 1: is going to be brought up because he was just

349
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: the last season. That's expected. But I thought to have

350
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 1: a choir uh sing a hateful song about any human

351
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 1: one is just hard to watch. And two it was kids, Like, yeah,

352
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: kids doing this. If it was an adult choir, I'm like, whatever,

353
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: that was just goofy. But you're gonna have a bunch

354
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: of kids spew hate in a song about another man

355
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: as you get out of a limo. For me, I

356
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,199
Speaker 1: was I was over it for the moment it started,

357
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: and I think it was something that I said. I

358
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 1: don't know where this came from. I don't know where

359
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: this was born from, but I did not enjoy it,

360
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 1: and I did I thought it was one of the

361
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 1: worst internces I've ever seen on the show. I apologize

362
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: for that not coming to my mind. When you said

363
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: the word gross, I was thinking more like gross humor. Um.

364
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, I already talked about on the Gabby and

365
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: Rachel episode yesterday how I thought that was just really

366
00:20:53,800 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: really distasteful. Um. Yeah, wow, that's who. But whose entrance

367
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: was that? That's what's weird. We think we think of

368
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 1: the chorus, but we have no idea, or at least

369
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 1: I have no idea who came out to that. Yeah,

370
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: you're right, Ashley, because it's it's forgettable because we remember

371
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: the choir. We don't remember the person stepping out because

372
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 1: we're all probably so consumed with the choir. But it

373
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 1: was Alec who got out of the limit at that moment,

374
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: uh and kind of walked forward. Again. I can't fully

375
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 1: blame him because I don't think he wrote that song,

376
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: and I also don't think he had hired this choir.

377
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 1: But but but I will say this, no matter what

378
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 1: the plans was, he agreed to it. And I think

379
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: that's what he agreed to have that be his entrance.

380
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 1: And I think for that we need to go, Ah,

381
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 1: come on, there's got to be more to this story

382
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: than what we see. Then I agree. Then there was

383
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,959
Speaker 1: Roby who did the card trick. And hey, I know

384
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 1: Roby is a little bit off and that he got

385
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 1: eliminated in this episode, but you get me with the

386
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:59,479
Speaker 1: card trick. I love Roby. I thought Roby. I'm shocked

387
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 1: Roby at home because I think Roby is probably one

388
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 1: of the he won. Um. He'd be super entertaining in

389
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 1: the house where there's nothing to do because there are

390
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: cards that you can play. Two. He seemed very kind,

391
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 1: uh and very nice. Now he's nervous, sure everybody is.

392
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: Maybe he's not as smooth as some of the other

393
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 1: guys are. He couldn't hide his nerves as much. That's

394
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: okay too. I liked Roby. I don't know if he

395
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: was meant to marry either of them, but I sure

396
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 1: as I wanted to see more of him. I want

397
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: to watch him for a few weeks at the least.

398
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: Do you think that his name is actually Roby or

399
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: is it Robbie and he likes to be interesting? Well,

400
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: that's a good question. I don't know. I want to

401
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: I want to imagine his name's Robbie and he wants

402
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 1: to be interesting. I like that more. I mean, he

403
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: just seems like the type of guy actually that if

404
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: he was here two or three weeks one he would

405
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: be a fan favorite too. He would do and people

406
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: in the house would love him, and then three he

407
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 1: would shine and paradise. I'm not be saying romantically. I'm

408
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: just saying that he's like he would become one of

409
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: those people in bats our Nation that people just love

410
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: to meet and be around, because he's entertaining and he's intriguing.

411
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot more to Roby than what

412
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 1: we saw. I was shot, I guess, in short, I

413
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: was shocked. To go home. Okay, that's enough about Roby.

414
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: He did the card trick, he went home. We won't

415
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: hear about him again. Maybe in Paratis. I don't know

416
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: if he's there. But what other intros were really kind

417
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: of that stood out to you? Okay, I won't say

418
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: it was like a specific one, but I will say

419
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 1: the first like five or ten minutes of intros, maybe

420
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: the first five guys that come out of the limo,

421
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,959
Speaker 1: I'm like impressed by, like cute, cute and nice seeming

422
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 1: cute and well put together like all that. And I

423
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: feel like it's been a while since we had a

424
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: season where it was like, ah, good catch, Oh this's

425
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: gonna be a good group, you know. And that was

426
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 1: the vibe that I got with that first limo or

427
00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: so I would say the same thing. I really think

428
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 1: the first intro then that threw me off, you know,

429
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: and the first intro threw you off. No, the first

430
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: intro that did throw me off, Like all of them

431
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 1: originally were like how intro's I believe should be done.

432
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 1: They should just be an intro like I'm here, I'm

433
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,199
Speaker 1: excited to talk to you, you look beautiful, all right,

434
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: see you later kind of thing. Um, it was the

435
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: guy I I imagine if I could see myself doing this,

436
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 1: trying to say it with the best of intentions and

437
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: then going to bed that night and banging my my

438
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: head against the pillow, being like, you are such an idiot.

439
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 1: You are so awkward? Why can't you be smoother? That

440
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: was my dating life. Um, it's fun to be married

441
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:49,199
Speaker 1: and give that up, but um, but it is the

442
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: guy that came up. It's like, I haven't had sex

443
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 1: in a year and a half. Oh my god, you're right.

444
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 1: That was the first one that like I'm like watching

445
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 1: how you know, like I'm a watch I'm watching casually

446
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: and then like all of a sudden, I had sex

447
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,360
Speaker 1: in here. And then you're like, perk up and you're

448
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: like what it was that? Like what was the point?

449
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: Like was I mean he didn't and I imagine he

450
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: was like in his mind, he was like, Okay, I'm

451
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: gonna tell them that I've been really excited for this

452
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: and I'm super committed this and I've saved myself for

453
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: for a year and a half to to meet you all. Well, one,

454
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:23,640
Speaker 1: he didn't know he was gonna be on the show

455
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: for a year and a half, so there's like a

456
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: year there where he has to explain what he was

457
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 1: waiting on. And two all he said then was I

458
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: met sex in a year and a half because I've

459
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: been waiting for you too. And then there was like

460
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: an awkward silence and Gabby when he walks away, goes, well,

461
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: that makes one of us. And I thought that was amazing,

462
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:47,199
Speaker 1: Like I thought, she's so good, so funny, but weird, right,

463
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: like that was awkward. That was not like it was

464
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: so weird. It was like he was missing a point.

465
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: Like the producers definitely like like, well, what can we

466
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: talk about that's really interesting about you? And then he

467
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: said that, and then they probably came up with this

468
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 1: something that that would come to a point like a meaning,

469
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: and then like he totally missed it or just like

470
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: didn't deliver it with a confidence that he should have.

471
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: I don't actually think that there's really anything you could

472
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: I don't think that was a bad move to say

473
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: in general. That's just that's weird. It's your first meeting,

474
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 1: like if I'm yeah, like what if I go on

475
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: a blind date? Okay, I sit down at the table.

476
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 1: I said, I'm so excited to meet you tonight. I

477
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 1: have had sex a year and a a half. Yeah, Like

478
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: that's weird your opening line at the bar. That's what

479
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 1: you get to think of this as, Hey, I'm a

480
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: good guy. I want you to know that, like I'm

481
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: not a player. I've had sex and a year and

482
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: a half. Like any girl is going to be like, well,

483
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: I mean that's tight, Like, tell me, this is Ben Higgins.

484
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:54,239
Speaker 1: He was so openly you know, went without for a

485
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: long time. Yeah, my wife and I say it herself

486
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: from marriage with each other. Obviously because I'm national television.

487
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,479
Speaker 1: You know, I admitted the opposite. But Jessica and I

488
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 1: were together for three years. It wasn't. It's something we've

489
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: talked about many times. Um, but like that was not

490
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: just because opening line to me, you know, like it isn't.

491
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 1: She didn't come like she we didn't have our first

492
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: date and she's like, hey, you know, by the way

493
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: I've been, I'm super excited to be here and I

494
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: just let you know I've had sex and you know

495
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: my lifetime. I'm like, no, that took a few dates.

496
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: It took some like hey, tell me about yourself to me,

497
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: what's important to you kind of conversations. Anyways, it was

498
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: weird to me. That threw me off. Any others stood

499
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: out to you, Ashley in terms of entrances, Um, Jacob

500
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 1: on the horse when the girls were like it's fabbio,

501
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: it's fabio. I mean it's pretty classic. Um, massive, massive,

502
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: Pecks on the on the dude, I mean yeah, really

503
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: poked out there. Um, and he was oily of course

504
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: that's good. Yeah. And then there was Tino, and his

505
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 1: entrance to me felt like that classic ah he's it

506
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: entrance that we get. It was like a Jordan Rogers.

507
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 1: It was like a Sean Booth. There's like that's the moment.

508
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 1: It was the moment for one of them. I'm pretty

509
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 1: sure it's gonna be Rachel. Yeah, yeah, it was. It

510
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 1: was like he was confident, he's obviously good looking. Um.

511
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: It was smooth, but again it was very simple. It

512
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: was hey, I'm here for you or you two or whoever.

513
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: You know. He was there for the beginning and he

514
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: walks in and from that you can kind of just

515
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: see the spark. Now. I also have a theory, actually

516
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: the music changed when he got out of the limo. Yeah,

517
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: so I think we remember, like we have a little

518
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: like thought, uh in the back of our minds about

519
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: him because the music supported his entrance, Like how the

520
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: music that's okay, Now you're gonna feel this for this guy,

521
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: and then it's gonna go away and he's gonna stand

522
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: out in your heart. It's just like you know how

523
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: smells get you like a jog ear nostalgia, That music

524
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: will do the same thing, and it's such a cool

525
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: little mental trick. Yeah. Yeah, if I was, if I

526
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: was a contestant now, my only request to the show

527
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: would be make sure it's always really good music behind me. People.

528
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: Mine was never people, Mine was always do I think,

529
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: um man, Okay, so Ashley, the entrances are done. We've

530
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: gone through the ones that stood out to us. It

531
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: is now time for Rachel and Gabby, as they say,

532
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: to divide and conquer and talk to all thirty two

533
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: men who have walked through that door. Uh. The opening speech,

534
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: in my opinion, was great. It was what was needed. Uh.

535
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: It was special. Um, the two of them together doing

536
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 1: it again. We get a sense of support were that

537
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: the two of them have for each other. I think

538
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: that's going to be a theme throughout this season. I also,

539
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 1: after talking to Jesse last week on the podcast, I'm

540
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: not fully convinced that the show uh expected. Uh such

541
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: supports like this could have gone very poorly where the

542
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: two women do get jealous and envious and they collide

543
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: in But I think Gabbing Rachel are so great that

544
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: the show got really lucky, and the two of them

545
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: really do go through this whole season supporting each other,

546
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: and I don't I don't know if the show. I

547
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: think once they met, gabbing Rachel like, yeah, these two

548
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: people will be great. But I think the show that

549
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: could have really backfired on them if they didn't have

550
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 1: that kind of strength within each other. Well, like I

551
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: said yesterday, it's like you girls are like so good,

552
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: Like you are good quality people. You're far better than me.

553
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: You guys were encouraging each other to make out with

554
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: the other guy that you liked, Like what like these

555
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: are special to Yeah, I I don't know if I could.

556
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't even know if I could do that.

557
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: I think I would be jealous and envious. Um, but yeah,

558
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: they're like encouraging each other. I mean, the two of them,

559
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: I just think are awesome. I'm a big fan of

560
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: the two of them. Okay, So Gavin Rachel didn't break

561
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 1: off to start talking to the men, Ashley, just like

562
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: we did with the intros. What conversations or what moments

563
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: really stood out to you good and bad? Alright, So

564
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: it's mostly Rachel's that stood out to me. So let's

565
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: start there one with the race car driver Jordan's love

566
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: that convo. He surprised her, He surprised us all, I

567
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: think he kind of looks like a baby. He's a

568
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: race car driver, and was just like something about him

569
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: getting out of the limit. It looks like a baby.

570
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: He kind of looks like a little babe, A little babe.

571
00:31:58,200 --> 00:31:59,600

Speaker 1: I mean I think he's a good looking dude. I

574
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: think I think he's one of the better looking guys.

575
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 1: Like I definitely have my eye on him with the girls.

576
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: I think he stood out to me if we'd have

577
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: to listen back, but he was in some of my

578
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 1: like guys to look out for in a good way

579
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: before the season started. Um, and he's a race carter.

580
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: I mean that's it's just cool. He I guess there's

581
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: like a sense of young to me. Um And I

582
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,040

Speaker 1: But he like he had like swag and like a

585
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: sweetness and I felt like, uh, definitely some sexual tension

586
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: between the two of them when they were going around

587
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: the car. I really liked that moment. Of course, I

588

Speaker 1: really liked her moment with Tino. That was great at

589
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 1: the stairs, so cute. And then after she gave him

590
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,080

00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: with you know, like every spot in the world. Well,

Speaker 1: Likes gonna be around a while. He's kind of like

609
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: on the Tina level. Maybe Night one he didn't kind

610
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,280
Speaker 1: of stand out as much because he didn't have that unique,

611
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:14,240
Speaker 1: like staircase kind of moment. But I think even is uh,

612
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 1: I just think he's gonna be around a while. I

613
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: think he's kind of both of their types in a

614
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: lot of way. And he seemed um just even like

615
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 1: from his facial expressions, you know, which is all you

616
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 1: have to go off of really on Night one around

617
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: the other guys, he just kind of seems like that

618
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: guy that wanted people like um, I do say. I

619
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: will say, you know, the Tinos of the world who

620
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: get the first impression roles make me nervous because we

621
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:43,800
Speaker 1: kind of get built up liking this contestant and then uh,

622
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 1: over the last few seasons sometimes they disappoint us or

623
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: we aren't sold out on him. However, Tino, and this

624
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,919
Speaker 1: was such a small line that he said, but it's

625
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: awkward to get the first impression Rows. I remember kind

626
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 1: of when I was in the house and Sean got

627
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: the of impression Rows and he walked back in and

628
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: he sat down and like, you can't really help it,

629
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 1: but you're jealous, you're angry, You're like, you know, it

630
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 1: could have been me. Uh And Tina walks into the

631
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 1: room and he goes, all right, guys, I'm gonna sit

632
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 1: here so you can all get like angry at me

633
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: or he said something like that, and it like made

634
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: it a joke, and then all of him kind of

635
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 1: laughed like he knew it was gonna be awkward, and

636
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 1: he confronted it, and he kind of did it in

637
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,359
Speaker 1: a humble way, and I was like, I think this

638
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 1: dude might be legit, Like I don't think he's going

639
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,760
Speaker 1: to disappoint us, because he he had the social awareness

640
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,879
Speaker 1: to recognize how uncomfortable it was from to come back

641
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 1: into the room, and he also had the confidence to

642
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 1: speak it out loud to the whole group. And as

643
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 1: a result, I have a feeling that will continue for

644
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. Unlike some who get the

645
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 1: first impression ros, you kind of sit down and we

646
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 1: hear him like in the I t M being like,

647
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: look at this, Yeah, I got the first impression, you

648
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: know that kind of stuff. Yeah, agreed, And then there's

649
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 1: Mario who got gab research impression rows. I didn't feel

650
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 1: as much between them as I did between Rachel and Tino.

651
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 1: What about you, Well, I mean, I think it was

652
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 1: a I think it was a good moment. They were

653
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,959
Speaker 1: both wanting somebody to kiss them. The race car driver

654
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 1: really missed the boat there on that one. I think

655
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 1: he had a great shot at first impression, as if

656
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 1: he just would have, you know, leaned in. However, it's

657
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:19,320
Speaker 1: night one and you don't know, you know, what's appropriate

658
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 1: was not I would have thought no kissing on night

659
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: one if I especially at the time that we were

660
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 1: on the show, kissing on night one was not a norm,

661
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 1: not annoying, and now it is. Yeah, but you know,

662
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 1: I think there is when when you do kiss somebody,

663
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: there is this level of I I like you, I'm

664
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: attracted you kind of feelings. So it is comfortable to do,

665
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: but it's still uncomfortable because it's night one, You've just

666
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: met them, and you know that they're meeting a lot

667
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 1: of people. Uh I. So anyways, the Mario kiss like

668
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: that was just like an awkward kiss to me watching

669
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 1: it was like whoa Like they kind of went like

670
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 1: nose the nose for a bit. They didn't like. Yeah,

671
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: he said it was a good kiss. She was like,

672
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 1: I really vibed that, and I was like, oh really,

673
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 1: because it didn't look the best a watch. I'm sure

674
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 1: there's more to it than what we saw. But they

675
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 1: did go nose the nose for a bit, which is

676
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: always uncomfortable, and they didn't really get out of the

677
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,919
Speaker 1: nose the nose angle for a few seconds there, which

678
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 1: kind of was hard to watch. Um. I get really

679
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: uncomfortable when people kiss on this show, so I have

680
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: a hard time watching it. But I did feel like

681
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: his assertiveness and his ability to take that step, and

682
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 1: and just his his question asking made me say, Okay,

683
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 1: there's something here. Maybe maybe we don't have the spark

684
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: like we think we have a Tino and Rachel, but

685
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 1: we have something there. So I wasn't shocked that he

686
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: got the first impression Rose. Really, um, I did, and

687
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: I want to hear you know, this is obviously something

688
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:52,439
Speaker 1: that is is really cool. But unlike when you watch

689
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 1: show in the past, every guy, at least that I

690
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: remember last night, asked for permission to kiss them. I

691
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 1: like to pick up night one for night one. That's

692
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: cool because you literally have had a ten minute conversation

693
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 1: and you're like, can I test the waters Yeah, that

694
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,959
Speaker 1: was like, Yeah, if that was like on a nine

695
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: hour date, I'd be like, you don't have to do that. Well, yeah,

696
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 1: I mean once, once there's like chemistry and there's a

697
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 1: relationship built, then like, you know, maybe you don't have

698
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: to ask every time for permission. But um, I did

699
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 1: find it respectful and something unique that every guy at

700
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: least that I remember that asked like that wanted to

701
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: kiss them ask them permission first. Mm hmm. Then there

702
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 1: was Eric who kissed Gabby but did not kiss Rachel,

703
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:47,240
Speaker 1: but had a good moment with both of them, lots

704
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 1: of laughter, good chemistry between the two. I thought he

705
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: was going to go from Gabby and kiss her and

706
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 1: immediately go kiss Rachel and then we would have had

707
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 1: a nice little conversation on our hands, But that is

708
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: not how it went. He was probably smart and not

709
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,879
Speaker 1: to in that, but he was definitely a little hurt

710
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: at the fact that he didn't get one of their

711
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:08,880
Speaker 1: first impression roses. And thinking back, I do feel like

712
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: Abby had more of a chemistry, like a natural ease

713
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: with him than she did with Mario, but maybe I'm wrong. Yeah,

714
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: we got to see a lot more of the conversation

715
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: with Eric. I wondered if he was gonna kiss both

716
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 1: now that we know how comfortable that two of them

717
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 1: are in this scenario, I wonder what would have gone

718
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 1: on if he if they would have said, I kissed Eric, Oh,

719
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 1: I kissed Eric, and uh. I thought it was very

720
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,720
Speaker 1: wise of him, not that he didn't want to kiss Rachel,

721
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:38,360
Speaker 1: but I thought it was very wise of him to

722
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 1: be like, hey, night one, like, let's see how this

723
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 1: thing plays out, because you don't want to be that guy.

724
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 1: I just don't think you do. You might, it might

725
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 1: work out for you, It might be a fine thing.

726
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: I think he's a front runner here, but you just

727
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: don't want to be that guy in the back of

728
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: your mind that has kissed both leads on Night one.

729
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 1: I had preconceived notions about Eric from his picture that was,

730
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: you know, shown people think he looks like a nick

731
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: vill Yeah, And after kind of hearing him talk to

732
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: both and hearing his I t M s I, it

733
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:15,879
Speaker 1: was a lot more in favor of Eric. I think

734
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: he had a good head on his shoulders. I thought

735
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 1: he was not as maybe cocky as I assumed he

736
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 1: was going to be. See, I think he's cocky, really,

737
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 1: I think he's going to end up being cocky. Just

738
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,919
Speaker 1: happened subtle signs to me that he was like, oh

739
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 1: and I get first and fresh and rows. Yeah, well

740
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: is it? Is it Eric or Ethan that I had

741
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: the conversation about the chest hair? Because I thought that's

742
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 1: when I really liked that person too. Was one of

743
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 1: them had a conversation about chest hair and his his

744
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 1: line so quickly to Gabyl was do you shave your

745
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 1: chest hair? And I thought that's hilarious. I thought it

746
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 1: was hilarious. Yeah, And I don't know. I think I

747
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: thought it was a good first like funny, lighthearted conversation

748
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 1: and great first like line, knowing Gabby's personality that she

749
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: was gonna enjoy that like kind of humor. So was

750
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 1: that logan? No, it was one of the It was

751
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 1: one of It was either it was one of the guys.

752
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 1: It was one of the guys. But whoever did it?

753
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 1: I think I like them a lot too. Okay, there's

754
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,399
Speaker 1: there's one other one other guy that I finched it out,

755
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 1: and that's Ryan from Boston. He made Gabby laugh a lot. Yeah,

756
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 1: you said that you thought Gabby really liked him? You

757
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 1: don't think so? No, I don't not think so. I don't.

758
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:36,280
Speaker 1: I don't think I felt it as maybe as clearly

759
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 1: as you did. But yeah, the laughter was important. Um,

760
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,959
Speaker 1: and I think I'd only had one person in this list.

761
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 1: It's Hayden. I thought Hayden was kind of quietly in

762
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: the mix all night. Um, yes he was. I thought

763
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 1: he kind of It was kind of the like quiet

764
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 1: underdog who I believe we're gonna get to see a

765
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 1: lot more of this season from Florida. Yeah, there's one

766
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: from Florida that was like that. Rachel was like, Oh,

767
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: my brother lives in Tampa and you just think there

768
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 1: is something there. Yeah, it might have been him. But

769
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 1: those are the guys that stood out to us on

770
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: Night one, the guys that kind of made that will

771
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 1: be watching now again. As as hard as it is

772
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,439
Speaker 1: for Gabby and Rachel to understand and know these guys names,

773
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,479
Speaker 1: it's even harder for us. We won't remember them until

774
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: probably week five. You don't remember them either. Yeah, but

775
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:31,879
Speaker 1: it's the guys and you know what they were talking

776
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:33,919
Speaker 1: about and you know the vibe at the moment. Okay,

777
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 1: So we talked about the first impression Rose Mario and

778
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: Tino get the first impression Rose Tino from Rachel, Mario

779
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 1: got his from Gabby. They're moving on, which brings us

780
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 1: into the final um part of the show. One quick

781
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: note as we go into the Rose ceremony that did

782
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 1: not exist was that I really became a bigger fan

783
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,359
Speaker 1: of Rachel after she admitted her fear of clowns, which

784
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 1: is my fear and which was would be my answer

785
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: if I was sitting in the moment. Clowns are weird

786
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 1: to me. Um. I don't know why they exist, and

787
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're good for. It's like a

788
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: it's like a twice a year conversation that brings up

789
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: the fear of clouds doesn't make any sense. It's so horrible.

790
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: I don't understand as well why they exist, especially in Yeah,

791
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 1: they're weird. So uh, kudos to Rachel for being honest

792
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 1: and to speaking on behalf of all of us who

793
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 1: have a fear of clowns. Okay, uh, Well, we know

794
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:30,760
Speaker 1: that the Rose Ceremony now gets canceled and that Gabby

795
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:34,240
Speaker 1: and Rachel send home three people and three people only

796
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: the twins. Let's start. They're shocking in some ways that

797
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: they went home. You guys, I thought that they were

798
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 1: going to be like Pete Davidson twins from Staten Island

799
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 1: based on their pictures, and I thought that they were

800
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 1: going to be like B d E, you know, And

801
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 1: I thought they were gonna be a funny comedy duo together.

802
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, I guess I just literally thought that

803
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 1: they're going to show up like Pete david'son and they

804
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 1: were the opposite of Pete. It's in there basically just

805
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 1: like guys out of college that were still like into

806
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: talking about college, and they were really stale. They were

807
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: the opposite of what I was expecting. It was just

808
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:17,359
Speaker 1: like hanging out with two guys that uh yeah. It's like,

809
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,360
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. This is like the most

810
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,879
Speaker 1: this is like the most actually common ever. Ben put

811
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: yourself back in the day when you like go on

812
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 1: vacation with your family and you'd like scour for like

813
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:31,920
Speaker 1: girls to like kind of hang out with with the

814
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: for the week. You you you were late, Yeah, yeah, okay, great,

815
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 1: So my sister and I would go around and do

816
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:42,360
Speaker 1: this like on a cruise. Right. It's like almost like

817
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 1: you're interviewing my boyfriends for the week, and then you

818
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: sit down with these two and you'd be like, Oh,

819
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 1: they were okay to hang out with like for an hour,

820
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 1: but like, we're not going to hang out with them

821
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 1: for the rest of the week. Well. It's weird too,

822
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 1: because they were I think two most followed people on

823
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 1: social media going into this season. So my expectation was, Okay,

824
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 1: they're doing this and they're going to become uh kind

825
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 1: of celebrities from the show, but off the show, and

826
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,319
Speaker 1: they're gonna use this to increase their following and there whatever,

827
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 1: and so they're gonna be around a while. For the

828
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 1: two of them to go home on night one was

829
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,319
Speaker 1: a little shocking because they are good looking and they

830
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: are twins, and there is something to that. I don't

831
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 1: know what is to that now after kind of being

832
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 1: a part of the Ferguson twins on are My season,

833
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 1: it was hard. You know, they're both really incredible and

834
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:32,400
Speaker 1: so I wanted them both around. They were both reunique

835
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 1: in their own ways. But it got weird after a

836
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 1: while because it felt like then just in that environment

837
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 1: when the group's hanging out together, like they sat next

838
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 1: to each other because they're comfortable with each other and

839
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 1: they're already friends with each other and they know each other,

840
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 1: and then you go on dates and if the two

841
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: of them are there, it's weird and it's hard to

842
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 1: kind of separate which ones who uh, And I don't

843
00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 1: know what storyline I guess could have existed unless they

844
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 1: kind of split off in one day to one and

845
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: one day to the other. But yeah, they went home.

846
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 1: But I do think it was shocking for most people

847
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 1: because I think well after they shut up, people thought, hey,

848
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 1: they'll be around a while, and the conversation, like Gabby's

849
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:15,879
Speaker 1: facial expressions during that conversation where she kind of sat

850
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:18,279
Speaker 1: in the middle, one on one side and the other

851
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 1: felt like there's no way these guys are around, Like

852
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 1: there's no way this is who she's like going to

853
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 1: try to date long term. Yeah. I have to say

854
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:28,719
Speaker 1: that I relate because when my sister came to Paradise,

855
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 1: as much as I loved having her as like that

856
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 1: emotional crutch, it was not good for me, Like I

857
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 1: just was going to hang out with her and stick

858
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 1: by her side and not go and meet new people.

859
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:42,800
Speaker 1: It's just it was bad. Also, just think I should

860
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 1: add that, um, it is crazy the fact that we

861
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 1: get to we get a set of guy twins for

862
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:52,239
Speaker 1: the first time, right, just like the Ferguson twins, and

863
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 1: it seems like, oh, it's like revolutionary. And then for

864
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 1: them to be like that, it's weird because I'm to

865
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 1: be eliminated at Night one is super crazy. Yeah, we've

866
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:07,840
Speaker 1: found some like more dynamic twins. Well, I think the

867
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 1: casting department probably thought they hit a home run by

868
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 1: finding two good looking guy twins to come on the

869
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: show and agree to come on the show, And then

870
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 1: the casting department's watching Night one's episode, they're like, you

871
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 1: gotta be kidding me, Like, we worked so hard for

872
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 1: this moment for years. This was our this is our

873
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:26,360
Speaker 1: big get, and now they're gone. Sure they're upset. Um,

874
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 1: you know, it's hard, Ashley if If, I'm if, we're

875
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,719
Speaker 1: both honest to have too much of a judgment on

876
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:36,920
Speaker 1: Night one because it is such a weird environment and

877
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 1: there are a lot of nerves, there's a lot of anxiety.

878
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:41,359
Speaker 1: Some people flourish in it, some people don't, and it

879
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 1: takes them weeks to kind of come out of their

880
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:46,239
Speaker 1: shell and actually show off who they are and what

881
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 1: they stand for. And so, yes, the two of them

882
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,880
Speaker 1: didn't shine on Night one, it doesn't mean I mean

883
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:55,440
Speaker 1: they have a social media filling. Maybe they're more comfortable

884
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:58,399
Speaker 1: kind of behind that, but they just didn't show up.

885
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:00,360
Speaker 1: Who are they funny on social media? It? Did you

886
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 1: look this up? I think they dance. I don't know,

887
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 1: and I think it's I think it's like TikTok Tiktoker's well.

888
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 1: The The other person that went home was somebody that

889
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 1: did show up tonight one, and he showed up well,

890
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 1: and he's a memorable character from night one. I want

891
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 1: to date you way. But like audience, I liked Roby.

892
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 1: I thought that dude had something to him that we

893
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 1: need to see more of, and I hope we can

894
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 1: see more of it. I liked Roby. I thought he

895
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 1: had confidence. I thought he put on a tux that

896
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 1: he looked. He played the part um. Yes, he was

897
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 1: probably like not fitting in with the group. But I

898
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:49,760
Speaker 1: I think long term Roby is one of those types

899
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 1: of guys that might like grow on you a bit

900
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:58,319
Speaker 1: and you're like, I could date this dude entertainment for life. Now.

901
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 1: We talked about this with Abby and Rachel, so parton

902
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: us if you're kind of sharing this conversation for the

903
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:06,320
Speaker 1: second time. But The fact that they pulled the guys

904
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 1: out to eliminate them instead of doing it at the

905
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:12,360
Speaker 1: Rose ceremony, to me, felt more like a personal out.

906
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:15,719
Speaker 1: At least if you get eliminated at the night one

907
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,440
Speaker 1: Rose ceremony, you're like, uh, you know, they didn't get

908
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 1: to know me whatever, But like they pull them aside

909
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 1: and they're like, you know, we did get to know you,

910
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:27,840
Speaker 1: and we don't like it. I know that there's no

911
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 1: right way, as we told them to eliminate people. There

912
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 1: isn't right. I mean there you can think of a

913
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 1: thousand ways to do it. And I do feel like

914
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 1: the personal kind of rejection is uh at the time,

915
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:44,879
Speaker 1: it feels better to do because you're feeling like you're

916
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:50,360
Speaker 1: giving people um that that that time, however, I watched

917
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 1: it and I was just like, oh, how would you

918
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 1: like to be the three dudes that don't even make

919
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:57,239
Speaker 1: it to week two? Like you're just you can't even

920
00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:59,799
Speaker 1: you can't even make the cut that didn't exist, like

921
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 1: the you're not having a rows room. You couldn't even

922
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:05,279
Speaker 1: make the cut that did not happen. You couldn't even

923
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:07,920
Speaker 1: make it to the first row ceremony. The connection was

924
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:12,399
Speaker 1: so bad but also what they did was probably the

925
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 1: right thing to do. Did you imagine them going through

926
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 1: like roses or how was it thirty two guys because

927
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 1: Roses and just be like the three that are eliminated

928
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 1: there now, like what they did was right, but it

929
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:31,319
Speaker 1: also is just like it hurt to watch and I

930
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 1: can't imagine, like you know, you you think about the

931
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:35,759
Speaker 1: people going back home. So those guys are on a

932
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:39,359
Speaker 1: flight that night or the next morning to go back home.

933
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 1: They pull up to their parents house or to their apartment.

934
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:45,920
Speaker 1: Their parents like what happened? You're like, I gott eliminated there? Like, oh,

935
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 1: you got eliminated night one day, and they're like, well,

936
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:54,920
Speaker 1: kind of half of night one kind of to make

937
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 1: them feel better. If the girls only talked to half

938
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:00,759
Speaker 1: the guys, that means like that's just for sake of

939
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 1: easy math, say like they talked to fifteen guys, so

940
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:06,680
Speaker 1: then they were rejected from a pile of fifteen guys,

941
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 1: not a pile of thirty. Yeah you're making Yeah, that's nice. Um,

942
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 1: you know this happens now twice, where before the Rose

943
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:18,360
Speaker 1: ceremony even existed, somebody goes home. Last time it was

944
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 1: with Brian if you remember Ryan in the notebook? Uh?

945
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 1: Was that wasn't that night one? Or not night? Was

946
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:28,320
Speaker 1: that the week after? What mean Ryan with the notebook

947
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 1: full of yeah felt yeah that was on to me?

948
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 1: I don't know that one? Was it week one? I

949
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:37,720
Speaker 1: don't know, there's sometime around there. But uh, these two

950
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 1: women they let roby and the two twins I don't

951
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 1: remember there in Haymes unfortunately go home. Uh so they

952
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 1: don't make it to the first rose to me. But

953
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 1: the guys are going on to week two, most of them,

954
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 1: and it's kind of where the episode ends, which brings

955
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:57,280
Speaker 1: us then to the preview for the rest of the season,

956
00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 1: which Ashley, you had a lot of feelings on. So

957
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 1: walk us through the preview for the rest of the season.

958
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:05,719
Speaker 1: What were your thoughts? What were you thinking? Uh? And

959
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:07,880
Speaker 1: do you get more excited after watching that preview for

960
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:11,160
Speaker 1: what's going to happen? I get a little concerned after

961
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 1: watching the preview that, um, it's not gonna end happily

962
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:22,279
Speaker 1: for one of them. There's a lot of tears. I

963
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 1: think there will be a guy who well, it's pretty

964
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:27,799
Speaker 1: obvious there will be a guy that goes from like

965
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:31,720
Speaker 1: teams so and so to the other team, and that'll

966
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:36,319
Speaker 1: be hard. We see Rachel get some roses rejected, so

967
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:38,880
Speaker 1: it seems like there will be a time where like

968
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 1: they have to draft their team, and the guys of

969
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 1: course have a say on which team they're going to

970
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 1: go to. It's that mutual or decision um um. And

971
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:51,880
Speaker 1: then I'm just excited where things go with Rachel and

972
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:55,879
Speaker 1: Tino because we see so much of them. Oh my god,

973
00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:59,960
Speaker 1: if if something happens with Tino, that would be devastating.

974
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 1: I'm already so invested in them, and I think that

975
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 1: is basically what I gathered from. We also don't see

976
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 1: any like um preview of an engagement. We didn't, But

977
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 1: they're both happy. There was something out. They're both happy. Yeah,

978
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 1: you can be happy and also be single. I would agree.

979
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:24,719
Speaker 1: I wrote a book about it. Yeah, has anybody ever

980
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:29,960
Speaker 1: Has anybody ever left the show and said, yeah, I

981
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 1: got off the show, how was my experience? You know,

982
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:35,640
Speaker 1: tease us will the ending? And then they go I'm miserable.

983
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:39,319
Speaker 1: None of them like I'm miserable, And I've definitely been

984
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 1: people that should have said that. Yeah, I get it. Um.

985
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 1: I think the preview point to some more drama that

986
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:50,880
Speaker 1: we kind of expect. I will say that Tino is

987
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:53,960
Speaker 1: definitely a front runner. I think he is. His storyline

988
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 1: with Rachel is going to be impactful at some level. Uh.

989
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:01,359
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see how this whole like teaming up,

990
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:04,760
Speaker 1: which side are you on? Plays out, because it feels

991
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 1: like a really hard math problem to me, like I

992
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:08,319
Speaker 1: have to pick you, you have to pick me. We

993
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 1: have to be in our top fift team. Now let's

994
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:13,600
Speaker 1: do the the checklist to see if I'm on your

995
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:15,160
Speaker 1: team or if I'm on the other team. I don't

996
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:17,239
Speaker 1: know how that's gonna play out. I'm still curious about that,

997
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 1: but it is gonna be a good season, Ashley. Uh,

998
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 1: and I am still more excited than ever about Gabby

999
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:25,920
Speaker 1: and Rachel and watching them together on television, but also

1000
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:29,799
Speaker 1: seeing how their individual experiences play out. So first, it's

1001
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 1: a great first episode. We're gonna be back next week
