WEBVTT - ‘Winter Games’: Same Roses, New Rules | Happy Hour

0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Hey, everyone, Welcome back to Bachler Happy Hour. I'm Joe

0:00:03.960 --> 0:00:07.080
<v Speaker 1>and I'm Serena, and we are here today with a

0:00:07.120 --> 0:00:12.440
<v Speaker 1>little holiday recap. We have decided to recap Bachelor Winter

0:00:12.520 --> 0:00:15.640
<v Speaker 1>Games that came out back in twenty eighteen. Maybe this

0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:18.520
<v Speaker 1>will correlate a little bit with the new Bachelor Home

0:00:19.079 --> 0:00:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Rental show in a sense, because there's a little bit

0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:23.720
<v Speaker 1>of competition involved.

0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:26.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Actually, I didn't even think about.

0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:28.720
<v Speaker 1>That really was the first thing I thought about.

0:00:29.080 --> 0:00:32.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's definitely one of a handful of Baucher spin offs.

0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:35.519
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they had that singing show at one point.

0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:37.599
<v Speaker 2>I think it was called Listen to Your Heart. Oh,

0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:39.080
<v Speaker 2>they did Winter Games.

0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:40.760
<v Speaker 1>I've never seen Listen to your Heart.

0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:44.519
<v Speaker 2>I don't think i've seen it either. It was a

0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:47.800
<v Speaker 2>bunch of like aspiring singers, right, yeah, yeah, but.

0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:49.880
<v Speaker 1>I heard it was I heard from.

0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:51.480
<v Speaker 2>Actually I think I did see some of it.

0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:54.040
<v Speaker 1>I haven't seen any of it, but I remember hearing

0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:58.440
<v Speaker 1>from people that worked on it that they really enjoyed it.

0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:00.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm sure it's fun for people that work on

0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:02.480
<v Speaker 2>the show to switch it up and do something different,

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:05.319
<v Speaker 2>and I'm sure Winter Games was one of those things,

0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:07.279
<v Speaker 2>Like you know, they're in a house in the winter,

0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:12.440
<v Speaker 2>different location, all star cast people from different countries, Like

0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:13.640
<v Speaker 2>there was a lot to be excited about it. I

0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:16.560
<v Speaker 2>feel like when this launched, and it was the concept

0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:19.039
<v Speaker 2>of Bachelor Winter Games was that it was airing in

0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:22.080
<v Speaker 2>alignment with the Winter Olympics, so it was kind of

0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:28.160
<v Speaker 2>Bachelor's take on a Winter Olympics meets Bachelor competition dating show.

0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:31.839
<v Speaker 1>I remember it because I watched the first episode because

0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:34.080
<v Speaker 1>the day the first episode came out was the day

0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:37.200
<v Speaker 1>I found out that I was cast on beca season

0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:39.520
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, all right, I actually like what

0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:41.959
<v Speaker 1>the fuck is going on here? Like really, I gotta

0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 1>pay attention. I remember watching I don't think I got

0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:47.360
<v Speaker 1>through the whole thing, but I remember watching it like

0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:51.240
<v Speaker 1>a majority of it, and like, Okay, I don't know

0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:52.240
<v Speaker 1>what I'm doing now.

0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:54.880
<v Speaker 2>Like this is really what it's crazy is. I actually

0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:56.560
<v Speaker 2>have never seen Winter Games. It was my first time

0:01:56.600 --> 0:02:00.840
<v Speaker 2>watching it. But a lot of the people ended up

0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:03.480
<v Speaker 2>being on your season of Paradise, which is kind of

0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:05.920
<v Speaker 2>crazy because the next season of Paradise, the people that

0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:08.760
<v Speaker 2>ended up single on Winter Games filtered their way onto.

0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was funny because Bibiana, Kevin and Eric were

0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:18.880
<v Speaker 1>all original cast in Paradise on my season two, so

0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:21.079
<v Speaker 1>they weren't even like, oh it didn't work, you come down.

0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:24.000
<v Speaker 1>They were all original cast, which is kind of crazy.

0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:25.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So I mean if you didn't find love on

0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:27.800
<v Speaker 2>Winter Games, it kind of set you up for success

0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:30.000
<v Speaker 2>probably going on Paradise because you were able to make

0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:31.640
<v Speaker 2>it down there earlier than you might have if you

0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:32.680
<v Speaker 2>didn't do Winter Games.

0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:37.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, definitely. One thing I will say before we recap it,

0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 1>which we could start recapping it now, My favorite part

0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:46.320
<v Speaker 1>of this was the house, Like I love that. Also

0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:51.359
<v Speaker 1>that like winter cabin looks, that was my favorite part.

0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:56.160
<v Speaker 2>I like it too because Bachelor is so identified by

0:02:56.440 --> 0:03:01.160
<v Speaker 2>the mansion, this like beautiful Spanish home in La And

0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:05.919
<v Speaker 2>to see these people in a very different aesthetic, I

0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:10.040
<v Speaker 2>think it's fun and it's just giving, like cozy winter

0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 2>cabin vibes, Like it's a good it's a good feel.

0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:15.160
<v Speaker 2>It's a different setting. It's not a beach, it's not La.

0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:18.280
<v Speaker 2>I feel like, rarely do we see them in this

0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:21.440
<v Speaker 2>setting for longer than like one episode that they've like

0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:23.280
<v Speaker 2>flown somewhere for definitely.

0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So starting from the beginning of the episode, we

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:32.160
<v Speaker 1>get some intro packages, which is fine, they carry on

0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:38.680
<v Speaker 1>for the intro of this show was just too too long.

0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:42.760
<v Speaker 1>Really have like a we have like a like an

0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:49.119
<v Speaker 1>Olympic ceremony esque style intro that I'm just like, all right,

0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:53.040
<v Speaker 1>but this isn't the Olympics, so so.

0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:56.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they're definitely trying to mimic an opening ceremony for

0:03:56.920 --> 0:04:00.640
<v Speaker 2>the Olympics, but doing it Bachelor style. And unique about

0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:03.880
<v Speaker 2>this season is they're pulling contestants from different places in

0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:06.960
<v Speaker 2>the world, so like they pulled someone from Bachelor China,

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:14.600
<v Speaker 2>from Bachelor New Zealand, Australia, UK, Germany. So it's this

0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:17.760
<v Speaker 2>coming together of the countries, which is really cool concept.

0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:21.080
<v Speaker 2>But they do this parade that dead ass is the

0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:24.320
<v Speaker 2>first thirty minutes of this show. They could have picked

0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:26.000
<v Speaker 2>up the pace. Now I know this is twenty eighteen.

0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:28.839
<v Speaker 2>TV moves a lot faster now, I think than it did.

0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:32.600
<v Speaker 2>Just media in general, our attention spans are shorter. Social

0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:36.159
<v Speaker 2>media's you know, playing a role in that, so it

0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:40.720
<v Speaker 2>could just feel updated more than anything. Yeah, but it's slow.

0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:43.080
<v Speaker 2>It's a long intro, but we're introduced to some of

0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:47.800
<v Speaker 2>our bachelination phase. We've got Ben Higgins. We've got Bibiana, Dean,

0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:54.800
<v Speaker 2>Claire Crawley, Ashley Eye, so some really strong people that

0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:55.880
<v Speaker 2>they've cast.

0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:58.520
<v Speaker 1>On this show, and I will say they're at the

0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:02.760
<v Speaker 1>like you're so used to if you're watching a spin

0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:06.680
<v Speaker 1>off of Bachelor, you're used to watching Bachler in Paradise,

0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:12.360
<v Speaker 1>where you know, like the first episode, you know. Ever,

0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:14.279
<v Speaker 1>even if like you've never seen, even if you don't

0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:18.400
<v Speaker 1>remember the person from their current season, you after the

0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:21.160
<v Speaker 1>first episode, you know everyone who's there. At the end

0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:25.960
<v Speaker 1>of this episode, I was like, I haven't seen like

0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:29.000
<v Speaker 1>eight of the eight of these people. When they're doing

0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:32.000
<v Speaker 1>the row ceremony, I'm like, how many There's like thirty

0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:32.800
<v Speaker 1>people in the house.

0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:36.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, No. It was wild, wild and kind of

0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:40.800
<v Speaker 2>interesting because obviously the show is about this coming together

0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:45.360
<v Speaker 2>of the countries, but they don't show really any of

0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:48.120
<v Speaker 2>the people from the other countries unless they are forming

0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:51.160
<v Speaker 2>a relationship with one of the American Bachelor faves. Yeah,

0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:53.040
<v Speaker 2>which I guess makes sense because we don't know half

0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:55.000
<v Speaker 2>of this cast, and you're more invested in the people

0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:56.880
<v Speaker 2>that you do know, right, Like you know Ashley, I

0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.480
<v Speaker 2>you want to see her, you are It's harder to

0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:01.839
<v Speaker 2>get you in and like all of these people from

0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:06.400
<v Speaker 2>Germany and the UK, et cetera. However, it's like, what's

0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:08.240
<v Speaker 2>the point of having all of these people here? And

0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:10.840
<v Speaker 2>there's also an intense language barrier for some of them not.

0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, like Yuki Yuki, who was also on my first

0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:16.160
<v Speaker 1>season a Paradise as a bartender, but yeah, she didn't

0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:17.200
<v Speaker 1>speak any English.

0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:22.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so it is challenging to date when there's people

0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:25.440
<v Speaker 2>in the house that are fluent in your language and

0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:28.200
<v Speaker 2>then there's people in the house that really don't speak

0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:31.160
<v Speaker 2>your language at all. Yeah, So there was a little

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:34.080
<v Speaker 2>bit of that. They have Tristan Ryan come out with

0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:40.279
<v Speaker 2>the flame of love lantern situation to end off the

0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:43.040
<v Speaker 2>opening ceremonies, which was kind of just like so hilarious

0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:45.280
<v Speaker 2>to me because like, I just still feel like that

0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:47.640
<v Speaker 2>is something they would do today, is called Tristan Ryan

0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:51.840
<v Speaker 2>and be like get back here for like our opening ceremonies,

0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:53.080
<v Speaker 2>like they I.

0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:55.640
<v Speaker 1>Would love to know the number of times Trista has

0:06:55.680 --> 0:07:02.400
<v Speaker 1>appeared on a season of Bachelor Bachan Paradisetan like anything better.

0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:05.799
<v Speaker 2>I had to bet who has not been a contestant

0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:07.880
<v Speaker 2>on the most but who has made a guest appearance

0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:11.040
<v Speaker 2>the most in this franchise, Without a doubt, it has

0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:11.920
<v Speaker 2>to be Trista.

0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:16.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean she has to be I would say, if

0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:18.080
<v Speaker 1>I were to throw out a random number, I would

0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:22.040
<v Speaker 1>say over six, over six or seven yeast Yeah, right,

0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:22.840
<v Speaker 1>I would think.

0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:25.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I get it. She's their first Bacherette. She's

0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:29.760
<v Speaker 2>so beloved, she's so fantastic. But yeah, it was just funny.

0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:32.320
<v Speaker 2>I was like, oh my god, I feel like twenty eighteen,

0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:34.560
<v Speaker 2>this could be twenty twenty five, like Tristan and Ryan

0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:38.120
<v Speaker 2>coming out for the opener. Yeah, and then they had

0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:42.040
<v Speaker 2>two musical performances, which just truthfully felt really unnecessary. I

0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:43.840
<v Speaker 2>was like, can I just see some people stay? Can

0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:46.800
<v Speaker 2>I see any of these contestants talk to any other

0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:49.600
<v Speaker 2>contestant at this point? Like, I've been watching for thirty minutes,

0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:53.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm about to watch two musical performances not really necessary,

0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:57.920
<v Speaker 2>but necessary to play into like the opening ceremony element.

0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:02.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we're both in agreeance. It was too long

0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:05.240
<v Speaker 1>in the beginning, Like the ceremony was unnecessary. I don't

0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:06.720
<v Speaker 1>think anyone's going to be mad at that because this

0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:08.040
<v Speaker 1>show is from twenty eighteen.

0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:18.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, then we get kind of more into the show element. Yeah,

0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:21.320
<v Speaker 2>they get to the house and we find out that

0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:25.840
<v Speaker 2>there's going to be these competitions. The first one is

0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:28.680
<v Speaker 2>a skiing competition, and whoever wins one guy one girl,

0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:32.080
<v Speaker 2>they get to take someone on a date, which honestly

0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:36.840
<v Speaker 2>could be a fun integration into Bachelor in Paradise. Yeah, like,

0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:40.480
<v Speaker 2>maybe we keep these competitions, these games and whoever the

0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:42.240
<v Speaker 2>guy other girl that wins, like you get the date

0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:44.959
<v Speaker 2>card or maybe you introduce that halfway, you know what

0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:45.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean.

0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:50.440
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think this. I think this show had to

0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:56.439
<v Speaker 1>be part of the inspiration of Bachelor in Paradise this year. Yeah,

0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:58.880
<v Speaker 1>I think so, because I do think like when we

0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:02.240
<v Speaker 1>had our talk with Andrew and Alex, and Andrew mentioning

0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:06.240
<v Speaker 1>like there and I remember even going back there, we

0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:09.000
<v Speaker 1>we had just like we would do nothing Like there

0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:12.520
<v Speaker 1>was like like majority of the days unless you were

0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:16.160
<v Speaker 1>even if you were involved in like the drama, there's

0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:21.920
<v Speaker 1>just so much downtime, which is is just boring.

0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:23.040
<v Speaker 2>Kind of exhausting, and.

0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:26.800
<v Speaker 1>It's yeah, and it almost like I think I think

0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:29.320
<v Speaker 1>the Winter Games. What I realized from watching this first

0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:34.120
<v Speaker 1>episode is they they did a good job of like

0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:39.600
<v Speaker 1>incorporating the games, but this one really still felt drama

0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:43.800
<v Speaker 1>relationship bachelor aesque heavy, like they didn't stair away from that.

0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:46.720
<v Speaker 1>There you see Ashley I cry five times, yea more

0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:47.880
<v Speaker 1>more seven.

0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:51.840
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I did feel like as much as I

0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:54.640
<v Speaker 2>think the games on the season of Paradise are a

0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:58.000
<v Speaker 2>little more exciting to watch, it did feel like this

0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:00.680
<v Speaker 2>ski competition. It it wasn't like like they were trying

0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:02.640
<v Speaker 2>to make it a competition show. It's still felt like

0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:05.360
<v Speaker 2>they were focusing on like people falling on the skis,

0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:08.040
<v Speaker 2>the girls waiting to see who wins, like rooting for

0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:09.840
<v Speaker 2>the guy that they want to win because they want

0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:12.760
<v Speaker 2>to go on a date. Like the competition did feel

0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:17.120
<v Speaker 2>still very ingrained in the dating element and like both

0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:20.720
<v Speaker 2>sides had something to gain and something to lose. And

0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:23.440
<v Speaker 2>I thought it was fun watching like Leslie be like

0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:25.160
<v Speaker 2>I like Dean and we hit it off last night

0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:26.559
<v Speaker 2>and I want him to win so he can take

0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:28.840
<v Speaker 2>me on a date. And then yeah, so we see

0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:33.360
<v Speaker 2>Kevin wins for the guys. Yeah, Canadians gain competition naturally?

0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:35.480
<v Speaker 1>Also, did I mention Kevin? Yeah, I said he was

0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:37.680
<v Speaker 1>he was on Paradise.

0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:41.560
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, ute, Yeah, And then Rebecca wins for the girls.

0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:46.480
<v Speaker 2>Rebecca is from wait, let me check, I can't fully

0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:52.400
<v Speaker 2>remember she's from Sweden. So that was good because honestly,

0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:53.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if we would have gotten introduced to

0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:58.960
<v Speaker 2>her had she not won. Yeah, And Kevin is kind

0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:01.880
<v Speaker 2>of in this little love Triangles situation with Bibyana and Ashley.

0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:05.160
<v Speaker 2>I Ashley I is. I don't think he really knows

0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:07.440
<v Speaker 2>it yet though he doesn't know, he doesn't know. He

0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:09.160
<v Speaker 2>thinks he's just hitting it off with Bibyana.

0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:12.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because Ashley, as much as she's expressing in her

0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:15.040
<v Speaker 1>interviews that she's into Kevin, I don't know how much

0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:18.920
<v Speaker 1>she's actually opening up to him at this point.

0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:22.959
<v Speaker 2>No, I would agree with that. Yeah, he had definitely

0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:24.800
<v Speaker 2>hit it off with Bibiana already. He ends up taking

0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:26.120
<v Speaker 2>her on a date that's not really a surprise to

0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:31.120
<v Speaker 2>anyone except Ashley, who I think like has kind of

0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:33.160
<v Speaker 2>locked in on Kevin and is like, that's the guy

0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:35.080
<v Speaker 2>I want, which I like. I like that about her

0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:38.120
<v Speaker 2>that she's like, I know who I'm looking for and

0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:40.360
<v Speaker 2>it's him, and I'm all in on this person, and

0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:42.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to figure out how to make that work.

0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:46.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we don't have that as much nowadays on this.

0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:48.800
<v Speaker 2>And she's shameless about it, Like she's like, I'm devastated

0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:50.920
<v Speaker 2>that he took someone else, even though we haven't really

0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:53.959
<v Speaker 2>talked yet. I want that guy, and I'm going to

0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:56.080
<v Speaker 2>be vocal about him until everyone I'm disappointed. Like she

0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:58.880
<v Speaker 2>really is a wear her heart on her sleeve. Like

0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:03.079
<v Speaker 2>there's no gameplay or strategy to her. The way she moves,

0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:04.839
<v Speaker 2>it's all about her feelings and she.

0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Is someone that like yeah, like it makes like she

0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:12.560
<v Speaker 1>it just makes so much sense that she was casted

0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:13.520
<v Speaker 1>on this on.

0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:15.720
<v Speaker 2>This show, she's so good because she really like I.

0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Walk and like I know there's like all this, I

0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:21.360
<v Speaker 1>don't love it, but like yeah, like that's there for

0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:25.079
<v Speaker 1>the right reasons and all. Like like I watched whenever

0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:28.320
<v Speaker 1>Ashley's eye is on this show, I'm like that she's

0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:32.720
<v Speaker 1>that she is there to fall in love. Oh yeah,

0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:35.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm going on the show because I'm gonna fall in

0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:36.400
<v Speaker 1>love on this show.

0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:40.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and she really wants to. And she's like, I

0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:44.920
<v Speaker 2>that's if there's alternative motives, they don't even come close

0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:47.240
<v Speaker 2>to how important finding love is for her.

0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:50.439
<v Speaker 1>Yes, and I love It's great.

0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:55.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm so excited. Okay, so she doesn't get ass on

0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:57.520
<v Speaker 2>the date. She's crying. She's crying interviews, crying to Ben,

0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:01.400
<v Speaker 2>She's disappointed. What's interesting to me is watching this first episode,

0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:03.439
<v Speaker 2>it does seem like Kevin and Bibyon are kind of

0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:05.360
<v Speaker 2>hitting it off. It seems like maybe like there could

0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:07.360
<v Speaker 2>be something between Ashley and Kevin. But it's so early.

0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:10.240
<v Speaker 2>But spoiler alert, we obviously know because this came out

0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:13.280
<v Speaker 2>in twenty eighteen, that Ashley I and Kevin end up

0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:16.040
<v Speaker 2>together after the show, right. I think so they are

0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:17.800
<v Speaker 2>like in a relationship when they leave the show.

0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I don't know how long it lasts, but I

0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:23.760
<v Speaker 1>think so. And then and then I don't know how

0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:26.160
<v Speaker 1>it ends up playing out, But then Astley and Jarrett

0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:28.920
<v Speaker 1>start dating again. Yeah, and then they get married and

0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:31.680
<v Speaker 1>then they have two kids. So, but Kevin's also married

0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:33.160
<v Speaker 1>and has two kids.

0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:36.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, which is so lovely. But I watching the first episode,

0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:39.560
<v Speaker 2>you wouldn't see it going that way necessarily.

0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:42.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh like them and them? Yeah?

0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:44.040
<v Speaker 2>Like if you if I just watched that first episode

0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:45.520
<v Speaker 2>not knowing how it ended, and you were like those

0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:47.679
<v Speaker 2>who actually end up together, I'd be like, oh, whoa

0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:49.800
<v Speaker 2>like how does that come to be?

0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:51.839
<v Speaker 1>Really? Oh, I cause him and.

0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:53.319
<v Speaker 2>By beyond it to me, I'm like, oh, that kind

0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:55.120
<v Speaker 2>of makes sense. I can see them going the distance.

0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:58.199
<v Speaker 1>Oh see, I know, but I'm viewing it from a

0:13:58.200 --> 0:13:59.240
<v Speaker 1>different lens because.

0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:01.920
<v Speaker 2>You know these people I know, I only know Ashley.

0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:04.760
<v Speaker 1>And like Kevin and Bibiana both being on my first

0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:07.840
<v Speaker 1>season of Paradise, I never thought that was like Kevin

0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:10.000
<v Speaker 1>and Astrid. I think hooked up pretty soon, but like

0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:13.920
<v Speaker 1>I never thought I was like Bibyana and Kevin. I don't.

0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:19.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't see that really, Okay, interesting Rebecca takes Luke

0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:22.360
<v Speaker 2>on the date Lucas from JoJo's season of The Boucherette.

0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:27.760
<v Speaker 2>That's pretty nice. Nothing to juicy there. The other two

0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:32.760
<v Speaker 2>couples that we are introduced to are Leslie, who was

0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:36.200
<v Speaker 2>on Sean Low season The Bachelor, and Dean, who we

0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:37.520
<v Speaker 2>now know is Dean and Kaylen.

0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:41.320
<v Speaker 1>I think they actually dated off of that season as

0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:42.200
<v Speaker 1>well for a little bit.

0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:45.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh they do. They have a good thing go and

0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:47.120
<v Speaker 2>in the first episode, yeah, they.

0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Both seem to be like chill and like, Okay, let's

0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:51.280
<v Speaker 1>see where this goes type of thing.

0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:54.880
<v Speaker 2>And then we have Claire Crawley, who is just another

0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:57.280
<v Speaker 2>like oh my god, she's just so good on camera,

0:14:57.440 --> 0:14:59.680
<v Speaker 2>Like I just I love watching her.

0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:03.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean I only saw her on her latest

0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:08.120
<v Speaker 1>season of when she was the Bachelorette. Yeah, but like

0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:11.960
<v Speaker 1>what but you've seen I've seen clips and then just

0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:14.920
<v Speaker 1>like even watching this first episode, I'm like, oh, it

0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:18.080
<v Speaker 1>makes because like when she was named the Bachelorette, you

0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:21.200
<v Speaker 1>were kind of like, this is a blast from the past. Yeah,

0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:23.240
<v Speaker 1>like that isn't this out of left field if you're

0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:27.960
<v Speaker 1>like newly watching the show or even like just like yeah,

0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:31.560
<v Speaker 1>you're like, that's a that's an interesting choice, mainly because

0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:34.680
<v Speaker 1>most people they pulled at that time were all from

0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:37.320
<v Speaker 1>like previous seasons, like like the season right before.

0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:40.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she was the first one. I think since like Ari,

0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:44.320
<v Speaker 2>maybe that they dug back into the archives where they

0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:46.920
<v Speaker 2>hadn't just pulled someone off of the previous season who

0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:50.600
<v Speaker 2>had come runner up and was kind of the obvious choice.

0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:53.440
<v Speaker 1>But it makes it makes it makes total sense. Like

0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:57.720
<v Speaker 1>I watch even watching her episode one, I'm like, oh,

0:15:57.720 --> 0:16:01.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm every time she's on screen, I'm paying attention, you know,

0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:03.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm not really scrolling on my phone.

0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:08.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because like she's she makes for good reality she does.

0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:11.000
<v Speaker 2>And you know what is great about her, and there's

0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:15.800
<v Speaker 2>there's a few things, but she is really good at

0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:20.440
<v Speaker 2>creating chemistry and flirting. So these guys you do see

0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:24.560
<v Speaker 2>like they're interested, like they're hooked. And I mean, she's beautiful, obviously,

0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:27.720
<v Speaker 2>but I do like watching people on these shows, and

0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:30.560
<v Speaker 2>I've said this about Victoria Fuller before too, who are

0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:34.640
<v Speaker 2>just kind of smooth and good at flirting, good at

0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:39.240
<v Speaker 2>creating chemistry, good at creating connection, and I do feel

0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:41.640
<v Speaker 2>like she's one of them, like she's skilled in it.

0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:45.120
<v Speaker 1>Well. It's also it's also interesting like listening to her

0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:48.520
<v Speaker 1>then like start flirting with the guy from Germany.

0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:50.320
<v Speaker 2>Who's like, well yeah, because we watch her lock in

0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:52.480
<v Speaker 2>with ben Wa who's from Canada, and then at the

0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:55.400
<v Speaker 2>end of the episode, she starts locking in with this

0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:58.080
<v Speaker 2>guy Christian who's from Germany and Switzerland.

0:16:58.120 --> 0:16:59.920
<v Speaker 1>But he but in his head he's like, well way,

0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:03.440
<v Speaker 1>like if you if you're talking to someone else, like

0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:04.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm already clocked out.

0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:07.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And she's like, what do you mean, I can

0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:07.840
<v Speaker 2>talk to both of you.

0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:10.440
<v Speaker 1>And she's like this is uh, this is the Bachelor,

0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:12.040
<v Speaker 1>Like this is this is what this show is. And

0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:15.000
<v Speaker 1>he's like, well, that's not like how I do things like.

0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:16.600
<v Speaker 2>And she's like, well, it's about to be how you

0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:20.200
<v Speaker 2>which is which is she's like coursing him into this

0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:21.480
<v Speaker 2>love triangle.

0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:23.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, which I think was probably the fun part of

0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:29.160
<v Speaker 1>bringing people from other countries who you know, different cultural

0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:30.879
<v Speaker 1>backgrounds and different you know.

0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:33.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, and clar had done Paradise once or twice prior

0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:37.120
<v Speaker 2>to this, right, I would assume, Yeah, I'm just trying

0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:39.359
<v Speaker 2>to I know she had. I'm trying to remember the timeline.

0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:43.040
<v Speaker 2>So if she had, Paradise is very love triangle friendly

0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:45.399
<v Speaker 2>of like going a date with this person, try this person.

0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:48.400
<v Speaker 2>And if these guys have come on only having been

0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:53.080
<v Speaker 2>the Bachelor, the concept of like talking to multiple people

0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:54.760
<v Speaker 2>is probably a little bit more foreign to them.

0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:57.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think she might have did that Bachelor pad

0:17:57.160 --> 0:18:00.600
<v Speaker 1>which was which is pretty similar, which is the origin

0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:03.400
<v Speaker 1>of Bachelor in Paradise and pretty similar to this too.

0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:05.800
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Okay, did she do Bachelor Past.

0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:07.520
<v Speaker 1>I think she might have done a season about Well,

0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:10.120
<v Speaker 1>she didn't do the season that we watched a couple

0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:12.840
<v Speaker 1>of episodes of. Yeah, I'm pretty sure she was on that.

0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:15.159
<v Speaker 1>I think so, which makes sense.

0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:17.080
<v Speaker 2>She's a true veteran of this franchise.

0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:26.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I forget how many people like I think the

0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:29.720
<v Speaker 1>beginning of this franchise, like especially when they like you

0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:32.680
<v Speaker 1>forget that like there it was only the Bachelor. Then

0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:35.200
<v Speaker 1>when they I think once they like rolled the Batsorette out,

0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:40.280
<v Speaker 1>they were bringing people back constantly and like different characters,

0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:43.040
<v Speaker 1>and I think people were more willing to come back

0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:46.040
<v Speaker 1>because there wasn't online hate.

0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:47.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and it must have been a fun time in

0:18:47.960 --> 0:18:50.439
<v Speaker 2>the franchise. Once they were like, Okay, it's not just

0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:52.359
<v Speaker 2>the Bachelor, We're gonna do Bacherette. Now, we're gonna roll

0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:55.600
<v Speaker 2>out Bachelor pat Like they were developing all these new shows,

0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:57.480
<v Speaker 2>and all these opportunities that you didn't have as a

0:18:57.520 --> 0:19:01.840
<v Speaker 2>contestant before started to be put on the table of like, well,

0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:04.000
<v Speaker 2>if it doesn't work out here, yeah, maybe you could

0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:06.120
<v Speaker 2>be the Bacherette. Maybe you could go on Bachelor Pad.

0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:07.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah.

0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:09.520
<v Speaker 2>I feel like that would have added a lot of

0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:11.879
<v Speaker 2>motivation to contestants when they were on the show.

0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, like yeah, this is fun. And then it's almost

0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:20.320
<v Speaker 1>like you're part of like this sorority, you know, fraternity

0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:21.320
<v Speaker 1>type gig.

0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:22.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, we'll think of it for like ten years.

0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:27.440
<v Speaker 2>It was just a bunch of girlies one dude every season?

0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:31.800
<v Speaker 1>Was it ten years? Was it ten seasons? I don't

0:19:31.800 --> 0:19:35.440
<v Speaker 1>think it was that many way, it was no way anyways,

0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:39.080
<v Speaker 1>So what else anything else big happened in this episode

0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:40.560
<v Speaker 1>before we hit the row ceremony.

0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:44.480
<v Speaker 2>No, that's kind of it. I mean, not a ton

0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:46.240
<v Speaker 2>of drama yet, just I.

0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Would say the most, like the biggest cliffhanger. What you're

0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:53.719
<v Speaker 1>waiting to see is Ashley I what's happening with her?

0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:56.040
<v Speaker 1>And also there's Ben Higgins, who at the time was

0:19:56.800 --> 0:19:59.920
<v Speaker 1>you know he was His Bachelor season was massive. He's

0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:02.760
<v Speaker 1>back on this show after his breakup. What's going to

0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:03.480
<v Speaker 1>happen with him?

0:20:03.720 --> 0:20:06.320
<v Speaker 2>Yes, this is kind of his re emergence. Yeah, he

0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:09.240
<v Speaker 2>had a huge season the Bachelor. He got engaged him

0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:11.680
<v Speaker 2>and Lauren I think did like a spinoff show after,

0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:12.280
<v Speaker 2>didn't they?

0:20:12.720 --> 0:20:14.399
<v Speaker 1>Uh yeah, yeah, I think so.

0:20:14.680 --> 0:20:17.119
<v Speaker 2>And then it obviously didn't work out for them at

0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:19.000
<v Speaker 2>the time. You know, they're both married with kids now,

0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:22.760
<v Speaker 2>which is so fantastic. But that story is definitely playing

0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:25.040
<v Speaker 2>a role into him on the show. There's this talk

0:20:25.080 --> 0:20:27.600
<v Speaker 2>of like is he ready? He doesn't feel fully present,

0:20:27.680 --> 0:20:30.840
<v Speaker 2>and the vibe you're getting from Ben is he doesn't

0:20:30.840 --> 0:20:32.920
<v Speaker 2>know if he's ready or not either, so you're kind

0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:35.200
<v Speaker 2>of waiting to see his journey unfold. And I would

0:20:35.240 --> 0:20:37.399
<v Speaker 2>imagine a lot of people who I mean so many

0:20:37.440 --> 0:20:40.600
<v Speaker 2>who were huge Ben fans were very locked in on

0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:41.840
<v Speaker 2>him in this season.

0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:44.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and then we see how they're doing. Chris comes

0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:48.000
<v Speaker 1>out and basically announces like we're doing. I would have

0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:51.399
<v Speaker 1>thought like, yeah, whoever, you give your rose to it.

0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:54.480
<v Speaker 1>The Row ceremony was interesting because people gave out roses,

0:20:54.520 --> 0:20:56.840
<v Speaker 1>but then at the same time, it was like everybody

0:20:56.880 --> 0:20:59.160
<v Speaker 1>went in and voted for the person they didn't want

0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:00.440
<v Speaker 1>in the house, like the.

0:21:00.400 --> 0:21:04.880
<v Speaker 2>Same as the New Paradise. It's like Bachelor cannot end

0:21:06.119 --> 0:21:08.919
<v Speaker 2>episodes without a Row ceremony. But the reality is like

0:21:09.760 --> 0:21:12.960
<v Speaker 2>this was Survivors, the Survivor salary. You all go vote someone.

0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:17.719
<v Speaker 1>Out, yeah, and you see people then like start like, uh,

0:21:17.920 --> 0:21:22.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, like campaigning for themselves. We see Eric go home,

0:21:22.960 --> 0:21:24.840
<v Speaker 1>which was kind of like out of left field.

0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:28.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you didn't even really see him in the entire episode. So,

0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:30.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you didn't see half this cast in the

0:21:30.880 --> 0:21:33.480
<v Speaker 2>entire episode. But it was a bummer to see him go.

0:21:33.560 --> 0:21:34.919
<v Speaker 2>Did he end up on your season of Paradise?

0:21:35.000 --> 0:21:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah he was. He was original cast too, Okay, Eric

0:21:38.600 --> 0:21:43.000
<v Speaker 1>and Kevin, we're all original cast. Ben Wah made uh

0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:46.600
<v Speaker 1>An appearance. Yuki was the bartender.

0:21:48.480 --> 0:21:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Was the bartender with Wells.

0:21:50.080 --> 0:21:53.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they were, they were, they were together and she

0:21:53.520 --> 0:21:55.280
<v Speaker 1>was fun and I actually met her. I met up

0:21:55.280 --> 0:21:56.600
<v Speaker 1>with her in Tokyo.

0:21:56.960 --> 0:21:58.120
<v Speaker 2>Did she really Yeah?

0:21:58.200 --> 0:22:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, she took us to like restaurant.

0:22:00.920 --> 0:22:03.400
<v Speaker 2>That's awesome, that's so funny. Oh my gosh. And then

0:22:03.640 --> 0:22:06.640
<v Speaker 2>so yeah, we see Eric gets voted out. We see

0:22:06.760 --> 0:22:09.520
<v Speaker 2>the girl from the UK get voted out, the girl

0:22:09.560 --> 0:22:11.479
<v Speaker 2>from China get voted out. I need to get these

0:22:11.480 --> 0:22:15.160
<v Speaker 2>people's names, Okay, Zoe from China, Laura from the UK,

0:22:15.400 --> 0:22:21.359
<v Speaker 2>and then Jamie, Eric and Lauren g from the US. Yeah,

0:22:21.760 --> 0:22:24.840
<v Speaker 2>a big elimination, However, too many people. There's so many

0:22:24.880 --> 0:22:25.879
<v Speaker 2>people people.

0:22:26.000 --> 0:22:28.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean you might as well eliminate fifteen people

0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:28.840
<v Speaker 1>at this point.

0:22:28.920 --> 0:22:31.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean I only saw literally people on my screen

0:22:31.720 --> 0:22:33.480
<v Speaker 2>for most of the episode. So it's fine, you know,

0:22:33.640 --> 0:22:35.000
<v Speaker 2>get get rid of them.

0:22:35.080 --> 0:22:40.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, so I think curious to see where they

0:22:40.760 --> 0:22:45.399
<v Speaker 1>take this, but we know like the results. So so

0:22:46.000 --> 0:22:46.520
<v Speaker 1>who did.

0:22:46.400 --> 0:22:49.359
<v Speaker 2>Did Claire end up with that guy, ben Wah, I don't.

0:22:49.440 --> 0:22:52.879
<v Speaker 1>I think I think there was. I think like he

0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:54.480
<v Speaker 1>might have got I think they like. I think he

0:22:54.600 --> 0:22:57.560
<v Speaker 1>might have got down on like one knee at like

0:22:57.600 --> 0:22:59.040
<v Speaker 1>the reunion show or something.

0:22:59.080 --> 0:23:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, he proposed to.

0:23:00.240 --> 0:23:01.480
<v Speaker 1>I think there was something like that, but he was

0:23:01.520 --> 0:23:04.080
<v Speaker 1>definitely it definitely didn't work because he was on my season.

0:23:04.359 --> 0:23:04.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:23:04.800 --> 0:23:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so like they got engaged, but I don't think

0:23:06.960 --> 0:23:07.359
<v Speaker 1>it was.

0:23:09.040 --> 0:23:10.200
<v Speaker 2>Mean clearly it didn't work out.

0:23:10.320 --> 0:23:11.200
<v Speaker 1>Clearly it didn't work.

0:23:11.240 --> 0:23:13.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't did any of the relationships from Bachelor Winter

0:23:13.720 --> 0:23:15.679
<v Speaker 2>Games work out? I don't think so.

0:23:16.040 --> 0:23:17.000
<v Speaker 1>No, I don't. I don't think so.

0:23:17.080 --> 0:23:20.400
<v Speaker 2>It sounds like it was Leslie and Dean, Claire and Benoit,

0:23:20.800 --> 0:23:23.639
<v Speaker 2>and then Kevin and Ashley. I are the ones that

0:23:23.880 --> 0:23:25.879
<v Speaker 2>I'm aware of, and none of them are still together.

0:23:26.160 --> 0:23:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. The most I mean, the most successful show has

0:23:28.880 --> 0:23:32.520
<v Speaker 1>truly been proven to be Bachelor in Paradise.

0:23:33.080 --> 0:23:36.040
<v Speaker 2>It is interesting diving back in. Obviously we've recapped a

0:23:36.080 --> 0:23:39.160
<v Speaker 2>little bit of Bachelor Pat on this podcast talking about

0:23:39.200 --> 0:23:42.160
<v Speaker 2>Winter Games. You know, we were on the old version

0:23:42.160 --> 0:23:43.960
<v Speaker 2>of Bachelor in Paradise. We've got the new one, kind

0:23:43.960 --> 0:23:47.440
<v Speaker 2>of seeing how they draw inspiration from all of their

0:23:47.440 --> 0:23:50.320
<v Speaker 2>different spin offs and they build on it every single time.

0:23:50.440 --> 0:23:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but there's clearly one winner, Like there's clear like

0:23:53.320 --> 0:24:01.760
<v Speaker 1>clearly whatever it is people on a beach from Bachelor

0:24:01.840 --> 0:24:05.399
<v Speaker 1>and Bachelorette, it's it works.

0:24:05.359 --> 0:24:10.359
<v Speaker 2>Well because watching people on vacation in Bikini's fall in

0:24:10.359 --> 0:24:11.679
<v Speaker 2>love is fun.

0:24:12.280 --> 0:24:14.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. You know, well, I mean obviously the show work,

0:24:14.320 --> 0:24:17.280
<v Speaker 1>but I'm saying it works amongst the contestants, like the most.

0:24:17.800 --> 0:24:20.080
<v Speaker 1>The most engagements come from Paradise.

0:24:20.320 --> 0:24:23.960
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Bachelor Pad didn't even really have that option, and

0:24:24.640 --> 0:24:27.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't think Winter Games was really ending in engagements either.

0:24:27.240 --> 0:24:30.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but I'm curious if they keep the competition element

0:24:30.840 --> 0:24:35.639
<v Speaker 1>in it, will it produces many Will it produce as

0:24:35.680 --> 0:24:40.600
<v Speaker 1>many engagements or successful relationships as it has in the past.

0:24:40.800 --> 0:24:42.919
<v Speaker 2>I mean this season of Time it won't. But this

0:24:42.960 --> 0:24:43.920
<v Speaker 2>season did well.

0:24:43.920 --> 0:24:46.600
<v Speaker 1>This season of Paradise with the competition element it did.

0:24:47.080 --> 0:24:48.560
<v Speaker 1>There's still successful couples.

0:24:48.640 --> 0:24:51.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's three. Jeremy and Bailey, Alex and Andrew, and

0:24:52.000 --> 0:24:54.880
<v Speaker 2>Jess and Spencer are all still together. They all seem

0:24:55.000 --> 0:24:55.520
<v Speaker 2>very happy.

0:24:55.960 --> 0:24:57.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, which is a lot. I mean when you have

0:24:57.720 --> 0:25:02.040
<v Speaker 1>when you have three that are still still going after

0:25:02.440 --> 0:25:04.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's been has been hasn't been a year.

0:25:04.880 --> 0:25:07.400
<v Speaker 2>No, it's been about six months, but I mean justin

0:25:07.400 --> 0:25:11.679
<v Speaker 2>Spencer engaged like it's definitely a successful season. But I

0:25:11.720 --> 0:25:15.200
<v Speaker 2>do wonder if the competition money element continues to play

0:25:15.200 --> 0:25:20.119
<v Speaker 2>an active role, if people will go in with a

0:25:20.119 --> 0:25:23.359
<v Speaker 2>competitive mindset and there will be more strategy about how

0:25:23.359 --> 0:25:26.920
<v Speaker 2>to win the money. Because this season, as much as

0:25:26.920 --> 0:25:30.760
<v Speaker 2>the competition played a role, it was told to them

0:25:30.760 --> 0:25:32.360
<v Speaker 2>that they were going for love, so they all came

0:25:32.400 --> 0:25:34.360
<v Speaker 2>in with the mentality of wanting to find a relationship.

0:25:34.640 --> 0:25:38.159
<v Speaker 1>I think it'll I think it will all depend on

0:25:38.520 --> 0:25:43.920
<v Speaker 1>a how much money and b if there's a clear

0:25:44.040 --> 0:25:48.400
<v Speaker 1>path to winning the money. And I think, like even

0:25:48.640 --> 0:25:51.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if there's money involved in this Winter Games.

0:25:51.320 --> 0:25:53.520
<v Speaker 1>They didn't really address any money being involved. I think

0:25:53.520 --> 0:25:54.400
<v Speaker 1>it's just competition.

0:25:54.640 --> 0:25:55.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:25:55.080 --> 0:25:58.280
<v Speaker 1>I like Winter Games because I like the fact that

0:25:58.359 --> 0:26:01.879
<v Speaker 1>like the competition of it plays out of like is

0:26:01.880 --> 0:26:03.600
<v Speaker 1>this who's this person going to take on a date?

0:26:03.960 --> 0:26:08.040
<v Speaker 1>Because then then the reward is is potential like a

0:26:08.040 --> 0:26:08.840
<v Speaker 1>potential relationship.

0:26:08.880 --> 0:26:11.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, and as you see the relationship start to evolve,

0:26:11.920 --> 0:26:14.600
<v Speaker 2>that competitive spirit is going to escalate because you're going

0:26:14.680 --> 0:26:16.879
<v Speaker 2>to see guys and girls be like I've been with

0:26:16.920 --> 0:26:19.240
<v Speaker 2>this guy for three weeks. We haven't had the chance

0:26:19.240 --> 0:26:20.439
<v Speaker 2>to go on a date yet, get me out of

0:26:20.440 --> 0:26:23.400
<v Speaker 2>this house, like I want to win, and it's all

0:26:23.400 --> 0:26:26.880
<v Speaker 2>going to be these like fun winter Olympic themed activities.

0:26:26.960 --> 0:26:28.760
<v Speaker 2>So I do think it's a fun layout.

0:26:28.840 --> 0:26:31.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I would think that's what In my opinion, I

0:26:31.359 --> 0:26:34.800
<v Speaker 1>think that's where they should where they should pivot. Like

0:26:35.200 --> 0:26:37.200
<v Speaker 1>in Paradise, I think it should be more of like

0:26:37.520 --> 0:26:41.080
<v Speaker 1>the competition is a result of like who gets to stay,

0:26:41.080 --> 0:26:42.639
<v Speaker 1>who gets to go, who gets to take someone on

0:26:42.680 --> 0:26:46.040
<v Speaker 1>a date? Make it more personal like that.

0:26:46.280 --> 0:26:50.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Like the reward of these competitions is a date,

0:26:50.480 --> 0:26:53.120
<v Speaker 2>is a relationship activity like and if.

0:26:52.920 --> 0:26:54.720
<v Speaker 1>And if it is money at the end, tell me

0:26:54.800 --> 0:26:56.560
<v Speaker 1>how I get it? And then when I get to

0:26:56.600 --> 0:26:58.359
<v Speaker 1>the end, don't tell me like oh, but then it

0:26:58.400 --> 0:27:00.960
<v Speaker 1>gets split in half. And then this person gets a

0:27:01.040 --> 0:27:03.080
<v Speaker 1>choice and then wait, you didn't. You didn't win the money.

0:27:03.119 --> 0:27:05.320
<v Speaker 1>You picked love, but like, pick out of this card

0:27:05.359 --> 0:27:07.760
<v Speaker 1>and win some money anyways, because this is deal or

0:27:07.760 --> 0:27:08.120
<v Speaker 1>no deal.

0:27:08.160 --> 0:27:10.040
<v Speaker 2>Now, well, I feel like on this past season of Paradise,

0:27:10.080 --> 0:27:11.919
<v Speaker 2>if someone had picked the money, it would have been

0:27:11.960 --> 0:27:14.080
<v Speaker 2>like you don't get any money because you failed because

0:27:14.080 --> 0:27:16.000
<v Speaker 2>it was your final test and the show's about love.

0:27:16.200 --> 0:27:16.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah you know what any mean?

0:27:16.880 --> 0:27:19.280
<v Speaker 2>Woras if you picked love, it was like, oh you

0:27:19.320 --> 0:27:24.120
<v Speaker 2>won and here's some cash. But they need to refine

0:27:24.160 --> 0:27:25.480
<v Speaker 2>it a little bit more. I feel like it needs

0:27:25.480 --> 0:27:27.720
<v Speaker 2>to be clearer next season, and I think it will be.

0:27:27.880 --> 0:27:31.000
<v Speaker 1>But overall thoughts on Winter Games, I thought it was fun.

0:27:32.200 --> 0:27:34.639
<v Speaker 1>Let's chot out the beginning down a little bit and

0:27:35.320 --> 0:27:37.600
<v Speaker 1>it's it's it's good they do. They do a good

0:27:37.680 --> 0:27:41.639
<v Speaker 1>job and they have and they have a strong cast

0:27:41.840 --> 0:27:43.200
<v Speaker 1>of characters for sure.

0:27:43.359 --> 0:27:46.320
<v Speaker 2>I agree. I honestly I wouldn't be mad about seeing

0:27:46.320 --> 0:27:49.720
<v Speaker 2>another season of Winter Games. Yeah, I think it's great.

0:27:51.840 --> 0:27:53.760
<v Speaker 2>I do feel like I would love to see more

0:27:53.760 --> 0:27:56.760
<v Speaker 2>of just like the hanging out, the chatting, like the

0:27:56.760 --> 0:28:01.200
<v Speaker 2>conversations between people. But otherwise I thought it was great.
