WEBVTT - Jess Is a Hot Commodity! 0:00:02.080 --> 0:00:04.360 Hey, everyone, welcome back to Bachelor Happy Hour. I'm Joe 0:00:04.400 --> 0:00:07.200 and I'm Serena, and we are here today with Jess. 0:00:07.240 --> 0:00:10.559 But before we let her in, we have a full 0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:13.720 new season of Bachelor in Paradise and it's a completely 0:00:13.720 --> 0:00:14.240 different show. 0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:17.240 It's wild. We're so excited to be back. It's been 0:00:17.280 --> 0:00:20.440 a while. Obviously, we had a long break between The 0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:23.680 Bachelor and now Bachelor in Paradise, and we have had 0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:26.080 a whole year off Bachelor in Paradise. 0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:28.040 Yeah, it's nice to have something to talk about again. 0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:31.840 This is obviously the show that Joe and I met on, 0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:34.760 so we're so excited to watch and recap because it 0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:37.520 holds a special place in our hearts. But it feels 0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:41.919 so different this season. I actually am in shock, and 0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:45.240 we shouldn't be because we had Wells, Hannah Brown, Jesse 0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:46.919 all come on and tell us that it was a 0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:50.000 new show, and they weren't kidding. I mean, it really 0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:50.840 feels like a new show. 0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:53.400 Yeah. I love that though, and I really like the cast. 0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:55.600 I think this they really put together a good cast 0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:59.120 this year. This year, I agree. I think that's regardless 0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:01.800 of what they do with the cares and the setting, 0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:05.640 you know, I'm a little sad not seeing it in Mexico. 0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:09.400 But yeah, those pink striped pillows, I'll miss them, the 0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:10.560 day beds, I'll miss them. 0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:12.399 But I do think the cast is the most vital 0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:14.920 part of the show, and I like this cast a lot. 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:16.119 I think they're good. 0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:18.280 I agree, and I think at its core it's still 0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:22.200 about Storm Paradise, same format obviously, with just some new elements. 0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:24.840 We have, you know, a game element coming in, some 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:25.839 surprises to come. 0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:28.440 Jealous the cash, jealous of the cash. 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:30.440 Yeah, well we don't know what's happening with the cash yet, 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:31.880 so don't be jealous yet. 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:35.399 Yeah. I will say we'll do things a little different 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:38.360 on this podcast as well, because we're going to try 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:40.960 to get as many interviews and timely interviews as we can, 0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:43.559 so we may not do a recap every week, more 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:47.039 interview style and just talk to the guests about what 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:48.360 went down in the episode. 0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:50.640 Yeah, this week we have Jess Edwards who's about to 0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:54.680 join us, as well as Lexi Young, who I feel 0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:58.160 like we're kind of very big parts of this first episode, 0:01:58.240 --> 0:01:59.760 so we have a lot to talk to them about. 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:03.440 Oh yeah, yeah, both of them, I would say, Yeah, 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:06.760 I forgot how long this episode was because there's a 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:08.519 whole lot with Lexi as well. 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:12.120 Yeah, we're opening with a three hour premiere, and i 0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:14.680 just feel like a lot to digest. Like, I'm so 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:18.000 excited to see all the newness, but I feel like 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:20.400 I got to get used to it as well, because 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:24.919 it's new location, it's better cameras. Everyone looks amazing. It's 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:28.080 like a different format a little bit like there's so 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:31.480 much to take in. So Joe and I are excited 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:32.919 for the season. We're excited to hear what you guys 0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:35.880 think about the season, and we can't wait to start 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:36.480 this interview. 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:41.880 We are here today with Jess Edwards.

Let's get into it. 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:24.320 Yeah, let's do a little catch up, because I will say, 0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:27.560 like watching the first season, we don't really the first 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:31.560 episode of Paradise, we don't really get a little background. So, yeah, 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:33.800 where I live? Yeah? Where do you live? What do 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:36.920 you do? And you are from Joey's season? 0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:40.680 Yes, okay, so I am from a super small town 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:42.920 at East Tennessee. So if you hear an accent, that's 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:47.000 where it comes from. But I currently live in San Diego. 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:50.920 I love it here. I work remote. I work for 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:54.800 a disaster consulting firm. I've been there for four years. 0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:58.320 It's so cool because I get to travel. But also 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:00.240 just same, I was. 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:03.240 Alting, what's a disaster consulting firm? 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:08.400 Okay, so everyone always asks that I would. 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:12.160 I'm gonna guess that you come in after a natural 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:14.080 disaster and consult. 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:16.159 Yes, that's exactly what we do. 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:18.680 Yeah, good deductive reasoning. 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:23.200 Thank you, that's exactly what we do. You've hit it 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:23.640 spout on. 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:28.000 Okay, how do you so? East Tennessee. You live in 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:31.599 San Diego. Was that before Joey Season that you moved 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:32.200 to San Diego? 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:35.880 Yes, actually had only lived here for Let's see, when 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:38.760 was Joey season. It feels like in million years. 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:40.880 Ago, it really did, but it was twenty years ago. 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:43.560 Okay, Yeah, So I actually had only been in San 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:47.560 Diego for four months whenever I left for Joey Season. 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:51.000 So I'd just gotten here really like fresh city. You 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:53.719 didn't know many people. I moved with a couple of friends, 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:57.640 so it was crazy to move and then leave and 0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:01.840 then I'm not gonna lie. I was like at home 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:03.440 because I was scared to go with public. 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:06.279 Oh yeah, I was. 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:07.120 A little terrified. 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:09.960 Why why why? 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:12.520 You know, I don't think I was prepared for all 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:15.599 the online things that go into this. I feel like 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:18.760 you have a good idea, but until you're actually thrown 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:25.360 into this world and experience everything, you just you just 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:27.880 have to live and you learn. So I was. I 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.839 was a little nervous just because all the online hate 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:34.520 got a little bad. So I took some time to 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:36.239 just get home. 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:42.160 Yep, did you have any negative in person interactions? 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:44.760 And I didn't, you know, That's what's crazy. Is like 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:48.039 every person that I've ever met in real life. They're like, 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:51.599 oh my god, we loved you, we thought you were hilarious, 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:55.080 like all these things. And it did feel good that 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:57.960 people saw past, you know, some of the drama that 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:01.920 I was in and maybe my little two emotional moments 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:04.920 that I had, And I think that it did help 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:07.600 once I started getting out in the real world and 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:09.839 meeting people and saying like, Okay, it's not just the 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:13.280 crazies that are behind their phone screens. 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:18.560 Pre going into Paradise. Who are you friends with from 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:21.200 this franchise? Who are you hanging out with? You and 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:22.320 Kat are friends. 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:26.200 Right, we are, but we're more recent friends because she 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:28.160 lives in San Diego. We have a lot of the 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:31.680 same friends. And we actually ran into each other right 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:35.320 before we less were Paradise, and I'm like, wait, I 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:39.279 heard maybe you were going, And she was like, wait, 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:41.880 I heard you were maybe going. So I'm not gonna lie. 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:43.960 She's gonna laugh when she sees this. But I didn't 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:46.240 think she liked me the first time we met because 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:47.960 we were like in a big group. I was kind 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:51.960 of like late to the party. I was like, you know, 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:57.120 just super outgoing bubbly and she's like hey. I was like, okay, 0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:59.599 I'm wanna walk away now. I don't know if she 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:01.880 likes me. But then I met her at a baseball 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:05.200 game and we hit it off, and then we obviously 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:06.680 grew closer. On Paradise. 0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:11.200 It was like, wait, you know you that's gonna be 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:13.320 a good feeling too, just coming in and be like okay, 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:15.520 like there's some familiar faces here. 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:20.640 Yeah. Absolutely, But from my season, I'm really close with Leah. 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:23.640 Love that girl. She is the only reason I survived. 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:27.680 And then I'm really close with Lexi as well. Daisy 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:30.880 love that girl so much. Those are those are probably 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:31.960 the main girls I talked to. 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:35.280 The mist Nice Okay, nice, Yes, go ahead. 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:36.880 I was just gonna say, so you get the call 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:40.720 about potentially going what was going through your mind? Obviously 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:44.880 you had probably like mixed emotions about your experience on 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:47.840 Joey's season. Where were you'se your head at? 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:51.800 Yeah? Honestly, initially I was like, oh my god, yay, 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:53.880 But then I kind of had to reel it in 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:55.720 real my excitement in a little bit and be like, 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:57.480 all right, do you actually want to go through all 0:07:57.560 --> 0:07:59.640 this again? Like is it gonna be worth it. And 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:01.960 I think I kind of just like made a pros 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:04.360 and cons list and I was like, this could happen, 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:07.280 or this could happen, So what's more important to you? 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:10.800 And honestly, you guys are an inspiration. I feel like 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:13.920 there's so many love stories that come out of Paradise. 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:17.000 I had a lot more hope going into it, whereas 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:18.960 you know there was thirty two girls for one guy 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:22.400 on the Bachelor. Yeah, so I'm like, there's gonna be 0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:25.240 more guys that choose from Hopefully I'm gonna know some 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:27.560 of the girls there. So it's like I have friends 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:30.400 more of a support system instead of going into it 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:35.080 not knowing anyone first go round, no experience in reality TV. 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:37.920 So I think at first I was excited, then I 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:40.199 got nervous, and then I was like, wait, no, I 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:41.200 should I should do this? 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:47.080 Yeah? You like you were definitely doing it, like like 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:49.199 just like watch it, like watch it, you had Joey 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:51.840 sees it. I just I just would be like, yeah, 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:55.120 you're definitely. You were someone that was like you're gonna 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:57.600 get cast in on Paradise, Like I knew that you 0:08:57.679 --> 0:08:58.680 were going to get cast in. 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:01.079 Were you surprised though when they asked you at all. 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:07.200 Honestly a little bit, because I will say, this is 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:09.360 my first podcast, Like I wasn't really asked to do 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:12.600 much after which, you know whatever, it's fine. But I 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:15.439 was like, maybe maybe that was my one and done. 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:19.559 Maybe they're like, you know what, we thought she had potential, 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:22.559 but let's just let's push her to the side, get 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:27.160 rid of Yeah, I get her out of here. She's 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:28.120 not cut out for this. 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:38.320 So in the conversations leading up to going to Paradise, 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:40.000 were you made aware that it was going to be 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:44.600 a new Paradise, new location, lots of changes. 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:47.920 At first, they didn't really tell us much. I think 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:52.800 they were letting us like kind of get excited about it, 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:55.719 and then they would start dropping hints like well, it's 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:57.600 actually not going to be in Mexico this time, and 0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:00.960 we're like, well wait what. And so closer to the 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:04.520 time of leaving, we got a little bit more information 0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:07.199 and I was popped. I was like, you know what, 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:09.520 I'm ready. I feel like it needed a little revamped 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:16.080 and it was amazing. When I walked in and saw 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:18.920 that resort, I was like, we got swim up wolves 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:22.480 outside of our room. Apparently ac was like a big deal. 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:27.920 I didn't know that was such a luxury, but apparently 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:28.319 it is. 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:35.920 My bed was essentially outside. It was like on a 0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:39.400 porch outside. It was a single and every night before 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:41.000 I would get in there, it would be like four 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:44.000 am on no sleep, and then I'd have to wipe 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:47.880 off the bugs that had landed on my bed and 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:48.520 like that. 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:51.720 There was one day Abigail and I shared a bed 0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:55.400 and we went to sleep and we were we were 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:57.760 in a big bed that we shared, but it was 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:00.760 in front of this like I don't even know, like 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:03.040 a patio. Essentially, we had like a walkout deck that 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:06.320 was fully open, and it was raining and it was windy, 0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:09.600 and I was like, I'm getting wet, like the rain 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:10.680 is no I would die. 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:12.800 I would die. I would like. There was a crowd 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:15.960 in my room one day. I'm not kidding because the. 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:19.720 Way huge. 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:23.000 It was huge. I was like there was a fly 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:25.240 that had flown in and I was I will never 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:27.040 forget this. I was standing on the bed and I 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:29.440 had a towel and I'm like whacking this thing. So 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:31.920 I jump off the bed and I'm getting a paper 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:34.200 towel to get the dead fly off of the floor, 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:36.960 and as I go down, I just hear like looking 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:39.520 and I just see something coming at me on the 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:42.000 corner of my mind. It was a crowd, literally this big. 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:44.520 It was huge and it's a little pictures were coming 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:47.320 at me. I screamed. I was like, all right, I 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:50.400 need someone in here now because I'm not sleeping in 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:51.160 this thing. 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:54.160 Yeah, we we lived. We lived with those and all 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:58.800 over friends. There was I will say that's one thing 0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:03.040 that like there was a campiness, and I would say 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:05.880 like we kind of all bonded over the fact that 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:08.160 we were living. 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:13.680 Like a dull summer camp a little bit more because 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:16.080 we had like a girl doing boys wing, so like 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:19.280 whereas this feels more like very resort forward. 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:25.880 Absolutely, it was amazing. It was amazing. And she was 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:29.480 like this is next level. I mean, she was like, 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:32.800 this is night and day. You guys don't understand how 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:33.520 lucky you are. 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:37.240 Yeah, because her and Justin would have been the only 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:42.640 two at this point that had been there before that. Yeah, yeah, 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:44.520 they would be able to kind of compare and contrast. 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:48.240 Okay, so going going into Paradise, now you've agreed to go, 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:51.679 what guys are on your radar if any. 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:55.640 Yeah, I think I didn't watch all of GEN season, 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:57.680 but I watched the majority of it, and I figured 0:12:57.720 --> 0:12:59.960 a lot of the guys would probably be from her seat. 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:02.720 And so right off the bat going into I was like, 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:08.760 I really hope Spencer's there because he is adorable and 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:11.000 he just seemed like such a good guy up there 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:13.439 for the right reasons. We love to say that around here. 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:16.160 He just seems like he had a good head on 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:21.920 his shoulders, like he wanted a serious relationship, and obviously 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:24.160 he's hot. So I'm like, yeah, I would love to 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:28.840 see that guy. I also was like, Sam's cute, you know, 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:32.440 I had about Edit. He had about edit. Maybe there's 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:36.720 more to him. So he was he was on my list, 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:39.360 But I literally like, I will never forget when I 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:42.959 saw Spencer on GIN season and I was like, oh, yeah, 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:45.480 I really hope that there's paradise and I really hope 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:48.680 that he's not with Jin because I want to meet him. 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:51.560 Wow, you have a good picker, obviously, because you guys 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:53.640 kind of hit it off right away, like your instincts 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:54.080 were right. 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:58.280 Yeah, we did. When I walked in, I was so nervous, 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:02.480 and I remember walk in and you know, first I'm 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:04.840 just like, oh my god, nice to meet you. Then 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:07.000 I asked who got there first. He was the first 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:11.559 person that arrived at Paradise, and I'm like, a perfect opportunity. 0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:13.760 The Wilder turned and I'm like, you want to give 0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:15.440 me a tour? Yeah? 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:17.360 That was good, that's a good movie. 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:21.120 Yeah. Yeah. So he shows me around and then we 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:24.080 had a little chat and it went so good. Honestly, 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:25.960 talking to him kind of relieve my nerves because he 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:29.000 is just so outgoing. He made me feel so comfortable. 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:32.120 I felt like we just really hit it off. I 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:34.000 don't know, it was like it was weird, but at 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:35.920 first I was like maybe I don't know if there's 0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:39.000 anything there, Like maybe it's just gonna be friend vibes. 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:41.720 But I'm really gonna try, so we'll see. 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:46.240 I feel like he typically would have been a shocking 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:48.480 choice to be the first one down. I was gonna 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:50.040 say the first one down on the beach, but I 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:52.240 guess the first one to the pool, to the pool, 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:55.960 to the pool, because I feel like it's typically like 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:58.200 you know, a runner up or you know someone who 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:00.760 had like a really really big storyline and there's yeah, 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:03.040 but I actually feel like he was a great pick 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:04.760 to be the first one down there because he's such 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:06.720 a yapper and he just had the ability to kind 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:09.360 of walk around and like chat to himself for. 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:12.400 Like we were watching it, you said that I wasn't. 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:14.760 I didn't think anything of him the first one. 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:17.640 Really I would have, I guess if I was like 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:21.880 betting on it, I would have expected Cat, like maybe 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:26.600 like Cat because she's kind of like a Returnersturn or 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:30.880 Justin like someone that was returning, or like a Jonathan 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:33.160 or Jeremy, someone from like one of the most recent 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:37.520 seasons who went like past hometowns like made it. But no, 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:39.280 I liked it. I thought it was he was great. 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:42.120 I feel like his personality wasn't shown a lot either 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:44.520 on the Gin season. You didn't really get to see 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:47.320 and who he was. So that was another thing talking 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:50.120 to him like five minutes in the conversation like Okay, wait, 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:52.200 he's cute and he has personality. This is perfect. 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:53.760 He has such a personality. 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:58.240 Yeah, yeah, anyone anyone else on that first day that 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:01.520 you were talking to that maybe we didn't see. 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:06.200 I had a good conversation with Jonathan on day one, 0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:08.760 but it was just I knew right off the bat. 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:10.640 I was like, this is just this is just such 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:13.680 a fritten vibe. But I also had met him before, 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:17.080 I'd met him twice I think before, so I kind 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:20.840 of already knew it was probably just gonna be friend vibes. 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:22.360 But I was like, you know what, we're here, like 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:26.160 I'm gonna have a conversation with everyone, and it was 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:28.840 really good. But yeah, no, I was like it was 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:30.200 day one. It was just Spencer. 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:33.280 I was like, yeah, no, down there had kind of 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:37.400 like met you know how there's always people that you're like, oh, yeah, 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:40.360 I've met Jonathan, like this person knows this person, Like 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:42.200 was there someone down there that it's like, oh yeah, 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:45.320 this person kind of like knew everyone, or was it 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:46.680 feeling like a lot of you guys were meeting for 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:47.360 the first time. 0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:50.280 I do feel like this I didn't really I didn't 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:53.280 meet any of the girls for a grand season prior. 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:56.720 I don't think. Yeah, no, I hadn't met anyone. The 0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:58.840 only person when I walked in that I had that 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:03.520 I knew Lexi girl wise, and then I had met 0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:07.080 Jeremy and Jonathan. But everyone else, I mean, I think 0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:09.520 obviously the books that were on the season together. They 0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:12.240 obviously all knew each other, but none of them had 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:14.560 met many people either. I felt like it was nice 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:17.080 because we were all just like getting to know each other. 0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:20.840 Yeah, I think that's nice too. Did you ask anyone 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:25.479 for advice before you went down to the What are 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:27.240 we calling this? I can't say down to the beach, 0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:28.800 I say to the beach, down to the beach? 0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:32.400 Bea No. I wanted to just well, I did ask 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:35.720 Kat a little bit. I'm like, girl, like you went 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:38.640 through it on your season. You she dated a lot 0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:41.439 and then ended up getting engaged, so like, honestly, this 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:44.199 is the perfect person to talk to. And she was like, 0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:48.080 you know what, I am going into this completely open minded. 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:50.880 I want to have a new experience. So she gave 0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:53.360 me some good advice, but she was like, I think 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:56.000 that you know, this is going to be a whole 0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:59.560 new show. It's a new location. I think that we 0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:03.680 go into it and we just have not too many 0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:08.520 expectations and figure it out when we get there. Are girl, 0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:09.160 you do it? 0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:11.639 What is that? What do you guys? Did you guys 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:13.960 know about the games before you went?
