What 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:49.640 was it like dating behind that screen? Because I know 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:53.040 you and I see how you flirt and I cannot 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:54.760 imagine how it is with. 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:59.240 A wall in between. Yeah, I really can interesting once 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:03.280 you get because there's no cameras, like no cameramen in 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:06.080 the pods, like there's you know, I tucked away and 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:09.080 they're like camouflage very very well unless you're like hyper 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:11.440 focused on it, but like you really it really is 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:14.840 just you. And so the first day you're dating, speed 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:19.320 dating like fifteen men I believe, like for five minutes 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:20.919 back to back to back. So you really got to 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:24.800 give your own get like, hey, this is my elevator 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:28.080 pitch of you know, and you start to hear certain 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:30.120 things you're like, yeah, like this is this is the 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:33.000 longest five minute date of my life. And you hear 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:40.160 a certain voice and you're like, hold up, let me 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:42.719 see what this boy's talking about. So then you start 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.039 falling like for the voices, and then you start to 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:47.880 hear a little bit of personality. And I really just 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:50.920 was I'm such a giggly person. So I think they 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:53.400 really were just loving that I was so giggly and 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:58.120 like bubbly and just I really trust the process and 0:04:58.160 --> 0:04:59.920 you could tell like I was like this is gold 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:02.719 work for me, and I was just I had no 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:05.279 fear really. I was just like, it's just me and 0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:09.760 here what's going to happen? And I just went fully And. 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:12.760 Did you feel like obviously when you started the process 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:16.520 from the first initial like I guess speed dating round 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:18.920 where you like, I don't know, like if this is 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:19.880 meant for me? 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:22.560 Like, did you still have that level of that? She 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:23.680 was like no, I was like I. 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:29.640 Knew. I was like, because the pre show stuff is 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:32.440 so intense, like the applications. I'm sure you guys know, 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:36.600 like the applications and the interviews. I'm like, surely these 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:40.000 people are professionals. At this point, we were going into 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:42.679 my season, which was season six, so I'm like, surely 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:48.919 they've matched someone here that matched my criteria and I 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:51.280 matched theirs. I just had to be patient, and I 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:55.880 was just like yeah. But then it's like the bullshitters 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:58.080 get through, you know. So it's like, no matter how 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:00.600 much they match your criteria and how much like there 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:02.800 are people that lie on their applications, there's people that 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:04.839 just say whatever just to get through the door, which 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:10.000 was very obvious in my case. And I'm going in hopeful, 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:13.920 happy and innocent, and then you have to have different intentions. 0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:17.640 So again I did my best. We'll just leave it 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:18.599 at that. I did my best. 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:23.560 Me and Charity know that all too well. So when 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:26.920 you're in the pods in those initial first days, did 0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:28.760 you feel multiple connections or. 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:29.760 Were you kind of zeroed in? 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:32.640 Because I feel like in Perfect Match, you went in 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:34.840 and you knew exactly what you wanted. 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:39.919 I had a few connections on Love is Blind Again. 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:45.080 I am so open and I just trusted the process. 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:48.000 And when I finally matched and like connected with people 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:51.800 that were also open to the process, then I found 0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:54.360 myself having like five and six dates a day, like 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:56.360 to the point where I was like, I can't do this, 0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:58.400 see y'all.

So, like, as you. 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:39.840 Were going through the experience of love is Blind and 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:43.040 walking away from that experience in your mind, did you 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:45.920 ever think, Okay, I want to do another dating show? 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:48.360 Did Perfect Match just kind of fall in your lap? 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:49.840 Like were you prepare? 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:52.720 Because obviously it's a I mean, we all saw it 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:56.760 crazy experience, and I'm sure like after that there's a journey, 0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:59.120 there's there's a time here where you're like, Okay, let 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:03.000 me just acclimate back to like my normal or you know, 0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:05.440 process what I just experienced and what I went through. 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:07.520 So how was that like timeframe for you? 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:11.400 Oh my gosh, it was. I needed a lot of 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:16.040 processing because you know, with filming, it happened you know, 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:20.440 a year year before it comes out. Like, so I 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:22.480 in that time, I did a lot of like self 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:25.520 development and healing and therapy, and I was I was okay. 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:30.040 The internet was not okay. The Internet was a very 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:34.280 very harsh, mean place. And I, like I said earlier, 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:36.800 I am optimist.

But I 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:16.720 knew he was the one that was gonna be the 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:17.920 one in that villain. 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:22.760 Because you were open to the process. Even once I 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:25.160 got in there. You guys were locked in, but you 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:27.160 were still kind of like, I'll go on. 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:28.440 Dates, I'll see what's out there. 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:31.760 Yeah, were you still open or did you know it 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:32.199 was Allie? 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:35.120 I knew it was him. I knew regardless of who 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:36.640 was out there, I was always going to come back 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:38.240 to him. I would always be like, yeah, like I 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:40.520 want to go on dates. I'm open. I'm opening. He's like, 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:41.160 shut up. 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:44.400 But I loved watching you for. 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:48.800 Yeah, thank you. I'm pretty good at it. No, you 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:49.679 really are, Like. 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:52.719 I was terrified. I'm like. 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.880 The eye contact like it just which is why I 0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:00.840 do want to ask about, like be in that environment. 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:03.840 Obviously it's very drastically different than like love is blind, 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:05.800 like when you guys see everyone after the fact that 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:07.960 you've already matched with your person. But it's like this 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:09.880 is a little bit more of a I mean safe 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:12.640 to say competitive environment where you kind of have to 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:15.000 like be on your own but it's like yeah, it's 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:18.280 like claim what's yours and best of luck to you? 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:19.640 So like, how are you going home? 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:22.160 I'm right? So how was it? 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:22.320 Like? 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:25.440 You seemed very like comfortable in that? Is that fair 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:26.000 to say? 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:29.280 I think because one there was like the age ranges 0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:32.200 were all over the place. I mean, from as young 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:37.720 as what twenty three I don't know, to like thirty six, 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:40.720 I think thirty five, I don't know, So the age 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:45.840 ranges were very different. And I like when I saw 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:49.440 like Louis come in, I'm like, he's twelve, Like what 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:52.360 do we do here? Like what what is actually happening? 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:54.800 Like I by the time only came in, I was 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.560 like very deflated. I was like, fuck, like I'm really 0:12:57.600 --> 0:12:59.360 either gonna have to just play this game to stay 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:00.840 in the house or I'm I'm gonna have to go. 0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:04.160 He walked in, I was like, not only is he 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:09.080 gorgeous a grown man, like so strong, so hot, And 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:12.760 I was like, thank you God, I was gonna have 0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:15.040 to just peace out. There was no really no other 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:18.840 option for me. And even if there were twelve other 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:22.080 men that were big, tall, you know, statue es men, 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:24.880 I still like, I don't know there was something about 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:26.839 the way we zeroed in on each other that I'm 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:29.400 just like, oh my god, Like it felt different than 0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:31.400 I'm just here for a show. I was like, wait 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:34.240 a minute, like why is he lying towards me one? 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:37.920 And why am I like getting there? Like I remember 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:40.320 he walked in. I was like, oh, like it was 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:42.679 so awkward, so weird, but he's so hot. 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:45.480 I love this so much. 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:56.080 I love yes watching your love story play out. What 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:59.520 was the difference between your experience on Love is Blind 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:00.600 and per Match? 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:01.200 Oh? 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:05.000 What's perfect Match like more conducive for a relationship to blossom. 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:08.000 I don't know if it was more conducive, but it 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:10.880 was just more fun. And I think, what is blind? 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:13.920 There's so much pressure to get married and find your 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:17.680 person and get engaged where it's like matches, like find 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:20.920 your person, have fun doing it and see where it goes. 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:22.680 Where it's like love is Blind, It's like you need 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:25.680 to get engaged in ten days. I'm like, okay, and 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:28.400 then you need to get married three weeks later. You're like, like, 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:32.840 it's it is like so much pressure where you can 0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:36.200 be hot and fun and see where it goes on 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:38.520 Perfect Match And that was like that was my bread 0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:39.720 and butter have fun. 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:43.920 Yeah, well, speaking of obviously you guys having fun. I 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:47.000 think it's very obvious that as viewers we can see 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:50.280 that and like we as we all know, editing plays 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:52.920 a big role in how these shows and you know, 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:57.520 the relationships are perceived. So between your experience with both 0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:00.800 Love Is Blind and Perfect Match, how do you feel 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:03.360 like the difference with like editing if you can speak 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:07.160 to that was, Yeah, it was different. 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:13.800 Now, I because kinetic and they created both shows, so 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:19.880 I'm very aware of the way they edit now, and 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:23.560 I know they're only gonna show or put up what 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:27.440 you do and say. There is a level of you know, 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:31.040 TV the TV, but for the most part, if you 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:33.880 don't do it and you don't say it, it's not 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:36.680 going to be on the show. So I think for me, 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:41.640 everything that I did and said, that's what I did. Think. 0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:43.480 There were some timelines that were kind of mixed up, 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:45.880 which I mentioned before, and a lot of things that 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:50.800 were kind of like weird, But for the most part, 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:54.960 I feel like I was portrayed how I presented myself. 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:57.040 So I don't I don't have an issue. I've never 0:15:57.360 --> 0:15:59.720 I've never been the bad edit good edit kind of girl, 0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:01.920 because like I said, I'm only going to give them 0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:05.160 what I want the world to see. I mean, for 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:08.560 the most part, I think it was okay, But to 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:10.240 each edit, I guess. 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:11.840 Yeah. 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:14.920 So we watched you guys fall in love. We watched 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:18.280 you get forcibly removed from our villa. We watched you 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:21.520 come back to the villa, and everyone in the house 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:24.960 was like, this is our couple. They're gonna run away 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:26.920 with this. I remember being in the boardroom and I said, 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:28.840 if they don't get married, I don't know what. 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:29.880 I would do with myself. 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:34.720 And then we do not hear your name when they 0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:35.640 say perfect match. 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:36.920 What was going through your brain? 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:39.840 Because I could not believe. 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:46.200 It A girl, I figured as much I figured I figured, 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:49.360 And you know it was a scheme set up. 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:52.400 By Hello, a scheme setup by Todd. 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:55.400 His hands was all on it. 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:03.560 I swear that they just didn't count our votes, and 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:03.880 they just. 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:06.680 No, we don't really get to talk to the people 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:09.080 that don't come into the villa. So when they did 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:11.720 come in, it was at the boys party or the 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:13.880 girls party, and they just kind of saw everybody hooking 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:15.480 up and being a mess, so they don't really get 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:19.000 to see what me and Allie's relationship was like outside 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:22.480 of the drama or outside of people hooking up or 0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:24.680 being a mess. So I don't really I don't even 0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:27.000 fuck if they think I'm the perfect match. I thought 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:29.000 I was, I said there was like, I don't really 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:31.040 want to plead my case. I don't know any of you. 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:34.280 I barely like you people, so like, why am I 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:36.920 sitting here trying to tell you that, like you don't 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:40.199 like me? What am I doing? I don't care? So 0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:42.000 I was actually kind of glad that they didn't vote 0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:44.560 because it just showed it just played out in real life. 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:46.919 So I was like what, I couldn't care less. Me 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:50.160 and Ali we went to Paris after, like, I don't care. 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:53.800 We don't need I don't need a trip. We figured 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:55.600 it out. We're good. We're married with a baby now. 0:17:55.680 --> 0:18:01.440 So hello, hello, Yes, and you said it, you went to. 0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:07.399 Paris married and I had it all happened like so quick, 0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:10.760 but honestly, like I'm like, I wish we got to 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:13.400 see it all, Like you know, I wish the cameras 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:16.280 technically I know it never stopped rolling, but like in 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:20.560 our for what we as viewers saw so obviously you 0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:23.879 guys announced your engagement at the reunion. 0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:27.560 How let talk talk me through the Did you know 0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:29.880 what was coming? Like, like what. 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:34.520 It was coming? Did I think it was coming that soon? No? So, 0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:37.680 but then I was on my second tip to London, 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:40.080 visiting him post show and. 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:41.760 Getting spotted everywhere. 0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:44.120 They're just in public, they do not care. 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:45.800 I was like, no, it was like they were at 0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:46.879 a perfect match. 0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:50.200 Yeah, live in life and careful. Like we had to 0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:52.280 reach out to pr and we're like hey, we They 0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:54.200 were like, you're only like you guys can hang out 0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:56.000 and be seen together, but the only rule is like 0:18:56.119 --> 0:19:00.840 don't hold hands or don't like be huggy lovy. We're like, okay, 0:19:01.040 --> 0:19:04.199 we didn't do any of that. Pictures in Paris, pictures 0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:07.679 in London, pictures in Mexico, pictures everywhere. And we had 0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:11.600 a call Paria and we're like, listen, we're doing our best. 0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:14.480 She's like, girl, there's nothing you can do at that point. 0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:17.199 So then that's where I think behind the scenes, like 0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:20.159 Ali and like production and everybody started being like, well, 0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:23.320 what are we doing? And he's like I want to 0:19:23.359 --> 0:19:25.800 marry her, Like I want to make her my wife, 0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:30.160 and they concocted this whole thing to make me think 0:19:30.160 --> 0:19:35.160 we were doing perfect Match promo. And Ali's like, yeah, 0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:37.159 I'm coming to LA so we can do this promo. 0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:39.439 Like that's so weird that you're coming here for promo, 0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:42.960 Like that's so weird. But my brain could not connect 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:47.440 the pieces because yeah, what we come to LA and 0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:49.560 I'm like, we don't even have lines to honey. I 0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:51.439 was like, no one sent us our scripts, Like we 0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:53.200 don't even have anything to practice. He's like, yeah, I 0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:56.920 think it's gonna be like really chill. Like so I'm thinking, well, 0:19:57.080 --> 0:19:59.080 if it's going to be chill, if no one cares, 0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:02.080 then I don't care. Then, Like I think, two nights 0:20:02.119 --> 0:20:06.400 before the engagement, I'm ripping off my nails like I 0:20:06.440 --> 0:20:13.359 am just stripping myself and he's looking like, you know, 0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:15.520
