Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
Speaker 1: with on our radio It's Almost Famous podcast. We are
Speaker 1: here today to play a little game. Ashley and myself
Speaker 1: have prepared for this moment. Here's what the game is.
Speaker 1: We're gonna set up what we think would be the perfect,
Speaker 1: or in our minds, the most watchable Bachelor house, meaning
Speaker 1: we're gonna pick our bachelor, the host, the location, the
Speaker 1: villain of the season. But this is all going to
Speaker 1: be made up of celebrities, or at least people we know. Now.
Speaker 1: There are some stereotypical roles that you will hear us
Speaker 1: talk about. At the end of this we're gonna post
Speaker 1: this on our social media. We're gonna leave it for
Speaker 1: you to vote on which of the shows you would
Speaker 1: rather watch mine or Ashley's.
Speaker 2: So so I'm laughing at just what's about to happen here,
Speaker 2: especially since Ben doesn't know celebrities.
Speaker 1: I had to work very hard to put this list together.
Speaker 1: But Ashley, let's get it started. We're gonna start out
Speaker 1: with the location for the Bachelor mansion.
Speaker 2: All right. My location for the Bachelor mansion was the
Speaker 2: South of France, because who goes to the South of France?
Speaker 2: That aren't celebrities. That is the celebrity hotspot.
Speaker 1: That is true. The South of France. We're not far
Speaker 1: off from each other because I chose Lake Como.
Speaker 3: And it oh perfect, you got you. We're like right there,
Speaker 3: We're right.
Speaker 1: There, we're getting the same thing. We I think we
Speaker 1: both are going with the same vibes, right yeah, fancy romantic,
Speaker 1: full of celebrities. Easy for them to get there because
Speaker 1: they all have private jets that are flying back and
Speaker 1: forth all the time from these places. Actually, the host
Speaker 1: of this show was very easy for me to pick.
Speaker 1: Who was it for you?
Speaker 4: Should we say it on three?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 4: One two three.
Speaker 1: Harrison, No questions, no questions. So we have the South
Speaker 1: of France, we have Italy with a host Chris Harrison.
Speaker 1: It just makes sense. Now, this is where I think
Speaker 1: things will get most interesting.
Speaker 2: Your bachelor, my bachelor is somebody who I chose because
Speaker 2: I knew that you love him, and I knew that
Speaker 2: he's a universally appealing man and has been for so
Speaker 2: many decades and he's appealing to all ages.
Speaker 3: My bachelor is Kevin Cosner.
Speaker 1: Great choice. We were kind of on the same wave
Speaker 1: link here with a lot of I think there's some
Speaker 1: similarities with my bachelor. My bachelor is somebody that is iconic,
Speaker 1: so handsome, dated many many people in his career, and
Speaker 1: still adorned by people today. It's Frank Sinatra.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, look at you, a total classic. Great yeah,
Speaker 2: oh well their effort, dude, you've brought dead people into this.
Speaker 3: I would have made it JFK. Junior in that case.
Speaker 2: Because he's my ultimate man, Prince of America and my
Speaker 2: ideal as well as pretty much every woman's ideal. But okay,
Speaker 2: ideas for next time. Good job with Frank Sinatra.
Speaker 1: Great, thank you. The contestant that you think would get
Speaker 1: out of the limo in a costume, who do you choose?
Speaker 3: There was a lot of people that I could have
Speaker 3: put in here.
Speaker 2: I was thinking the obvious is like Lady Gaga because
Speaker 2: she used to come out her crazy outfits, the meat
Speaker 2: dress and whatnot.
Speaker 4: And then I.
Speaker 2: Thought, like current day popular would be chapelone, and I
Speaker 2: decided to go with somebody who always has a sense
Speaker 2: of humor. It's very likely that Jennifer Lawrence would show
Speaker 2: up in a costume.
Speaker 1: That's good. That's good. I went with a little bit
Speaker 1: different of a thought process here. I thought back to
Speaker 1: my childhood, I thought back to current day. I came
Speaker 1: up with somebody that I think would come out in
Speaker 1: a costume, and some would say on purpose, and some
Speaker 1: would say just because it's what they wear. And that's
Speaker 1: Britney Spears.
Speaker 2: Okay, yes, absolutely, I think it's because it's just what
Speaker 2: she wears.
Speaker 1: It would like seem like.
Speaker 2: A costume, like excuse me, girl, that is not appropriate
Speaker 2: a tire for this mansion.
Speaker 1: But okay, yeah, that would be my choice, and I
Speaker 1: would love to see her on the Bachelor. In fact,
Speaker 1: there's a world in which I bet the show could
Speaker 1: get her to become the Bachelor if they wanted to
Speaker 1: next year. I think I don't think so.
Speaker 2: She doesn't want to do anything in the spotlight. But
Speaker 2: your mention of her is making me change one of
Speaker 2: my answers. If that's okay, I'll give you my original answer,
Speaker 2: say fine.
Speaker 4: But I have got to put her in here for
Speaker 4: one of the categories.
Speaker 1: Now, the contestant that cries the most. This feels like
Speaker 1: a category that you have a lot of respect for. Ashley.
Speaker 1: Who should you go with?
Speaker 2: It's one that I haven't chose yet, but I'm going
Speaker 2: to do that. But I'm going to fill in the
Speaker 2: person the version that I just took off of one
Speaker 2: category and replaced with Brittany. I'm going to put her
Speaker 2: in this category. I'm going to go with Anne Hathaway.
Speaker 1: Interesting, well, I had to go with the most iconic
Speaker 1: of all time. I put in here Ashley, Ashley and Eddie.
Speaker 1: I can't imagine anybody else crying like Ashley does and
Speaker 1: would do and has done on the Bachelor before, so
Speaker 1: Ashley will always be the legendary teary eyed crier in
Speaker 1: the on the Bachelor.
Speaker 4: Well, thanks, Ben, I guess you're allowed to put me
Speaker 4: in here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yea, I am. You fit all categories for what
Speaker 1: was told to me, I could fit in and not.
Speaker 1: The next one is the villain of the season, always
Speaker 1: the one that's talked about the most, usually the one
Speaker 1: out of you know, anybody that's not in the top three,
Speaker 1: Usually one that builds the biggest following. KAI kind of
Speaker 1: carries this following into life. It's a big category, and
Speaker 1: I hope you chose appropriately.
Speaker 2: I have two, all right, So my initial thought was
Speaker 2: Jennifer Lopez.
Speaker 3: She's having like a bad period right now.
Speaker 2: I don't know people like aren't liking her right now,
Speaker 2: which is why I kind of went for it.
Speaker 3: And then there's her ties to Ditty.
Speaker 2: There was another thought that I had, Yeah, we know
Speaker 2: that she's very unlucky in love and like she's willing
Speaker 2: to kind of like play the game of love, and
Speaker 2: I could see her just being dramatic and diva like
Speaker 2: around these women and the women not necessarily getting along
Speaker 2: with her. I've always liked her like just a spectator,
Speaker 2: but I felt like in the Bachelor Mansion she wouldn't
Speaker 2: go over that great. And on the same token, somebody
Speaker 2: else having a very bad time in the media right
Speaker 2: now would be Blake Lively and for very similar reasons.
Speaker 2: I can see her being the villain because I think
Speaker 2: that she says a lot of weird things, sometimes seems
Speaker 2: fake a lot of the time, and that never goes
Speaker 2: well in the Bachelor Mansion.
Speaker 3: Oh, if I had to pick one of them.
Speaker 2: Oh, I also picked Jaela because she had like had
Speaker 2: been seen on a date with Kevin Costner or a rumored
Speaker 2: date with Kevin Costner reason so she was already gonna
Speaker 2: get a leg up for the other women and they
Speaker 2: wouldn't like that. So I guess I'm gonna go with
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with Jaelo since that was my gut.
Speaker 3: Interesting, I might put Blake somewhere else.
Speaker 1: Now, that's very interesting choice because I chose the same person.
Speaker 3: A great and your reasoning.
Speaker 1: I've met j Lo hm and she was sassy.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, how did you meet her?
Speaker 1: Tell us O tell I was on Kimmel the same
Speaker 1: night she was there, and it was a very awkward encounter.
Speaker 1: I was in my dressing room and her dressing room
Speaker 1: was right next to mine, and it was very clear
Speaker 1: that even a like making eye contact and like a
Speaker 1: wave was not going to be the outcome of our interaction.
Speaker 1: She very much was not treating me like an equal human,
Speaker 1: which not from a celebrity standpoint, we're equal, but we're
Speaker 1: all human. And I think anybody that has the ability
Speaker 1: to walk past another human without being courteous that they
Speaker 1: exist has the potential to be a terrific villain. Wow, Ben, Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I love j Lo So.
Speaker 4: You always liked her until that moment.
Speaker 1: I still like her. I mean, she's like fifty what
Speaker 1: five and looks like she's like twenty. She's I still
Speaker 1: got a lot of respect for her. She keeps. But
Speaker 1: I didn't like that moment, And I just think as
Speaker 1: I watched her, I mean, I don't take offense to it.
Speaker 1: Jayla doesn't need to know who I am. She doesn't
Speaker 1: necessarily need to say hello to me. I would appreciate
Speaker 1: it if she did. I just think if she did
Speaker 1: that to me and we're both on the Kimmel Show
Speaker 1: the same night, she has the potential to walk into
Speaker 1: a house and and do some glares that shake the world.
Speaker 4: Yeah, totally, totally. All right, Ben, do you want me
Speaker 4: to take over for the question? You can take over? Okay.
Speaker 2: The contestant that says that the villain isn't there for
Speaker 2: the right reasons, who did you have this?
Speaker 1: This is a tough one for me. I kind of
Speaker 1: went with somebody that was like too good to be true,
Speaker 1: meaning not every time that the villain says they're not
Speaker 1: there for the right reasons, they're not always right on
Speaker 1: that right Like a lot of times they're wrong. That
Speaker 1: person is there for the right reasons. They're just loved
Speaker 1: by so many people and they're friends with so many
Speaker 1: people that the villain gets envious. Yeah, so I went
Speaker 1: with Betty Davis.
Speaker 3: All right, explain further.
Speaker 1: Like I said, she's too good to be true. She
Speaker 1: was loved by so many. She walks into a room
Speaker 1: and it felt like probably the world stopped. She had
Speaker 1: that aura, She had that ability to make people feel
Speaker 1: seen and known. And I think that's the person that
Speaker 1: usually gets to target on their back because they're usually
Speaker 1: given the first impression Rose. And when they're given the
Speaker 1: first impression Rose, people always look at them differently. And
Speaker 1: I think Betty Davis would be accused of it and
Speaker 1: then ultimately show up at the end being like, no,
Speaker 1: I was always here for the right reasons. That person
Speaker 1: was wrong. I am who I claim to be. But
Speaker 1: I think she could be disliked by the because they
Speaker 1: would be envious.
Speaker 4: Okay, I get that.
Speaker 2: Do you know a lot about Betty Davis's history enough?
Speaker 2: Was she like kind of a controversial character.
Speaker 1: I mean she played controversial kids.
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, yeah, yeah, so like her characters and
Speaker 2: her are like so tat.
Speaker 1: But she was always known for her authenticity. So I
Speaker 1: think what I remember just from I don't know, hearing
Speaker 1: the name Betty Davis, which is wild that we could
Speaker 1: still hear her name, you know, even though she died
Speaker 1: the year I was born. Is that because she was iconic,
Speaker 1: she was loved. She played characters that some would maybe
Speaker 1: frown upon or not be happy with, but yet she
Speaker 1: was authentic, and she was glamorous, and she prioritized that
Speaker 1: over everything else. And so I think that is a
Speaker 1: really good mixture for somebody that would be read to
Speaker 1: say you're not here for the right reasons.
Speaker 2: My choice was Katy Perry because Katy Perry is not
Speaker 2: afraid of calling people out, whether that's through songs or
Speaker 2: I just feel like she's just like not really afraid
Speaker 2: to speak her mind. She doesn't always look like the
Speaker 2: most liked person in the room, but she is, again,
Speaker 2: I guess, pretty authentic. She's I think she's pretty authentic
Speaker 2: to herself.
Speaker 1: That's a great choice. I love it. She probably would
Speaker 1: have also fall into the category of costume at the
Speaker 1: beginning for sure, the contestant that crushes it during the
Speaker 1: talent show.
Speaker 2: This is when I put Lady Gaga, because nobody's more
Speaker 2: of a triple threat.
Speaker 1: That's a good point. It's a great choice.
Speaker 4: Marilyn Monroe Okay, yeah, same situation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, same idea, same thing. What a cast this bachelor?
Speaker 2: No oscars has even had a red carpet like this before.
Speaker 1: Contestant that gets so competitive they injure themselves during a
Speaker 1: group date.
Speaker 2: So I didn't have anyone for this when we started
Speaker 2: the podcast. Throughout talking to you, I might go with
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift because nobody can beat Taylor, and she's sly
Speaker 2: and she has all of these ideas in order to,
Speaker 2: you know, make herself probably the most famous artists of
Speaker 2: all time. She she's always mapping out her career. I think,
Speaker 2: and I think that she's not gonna let any of
Speaker 2: these other people win.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Taylor Swift is a really hard
Speaker 1: choice to follow up on. That's a great choice. I
Speaker 1: went with Simone Biles.
Speaker 3: Oh that's actually absolutely fantastic.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Simone Biles. I mean, this category fell into
Speaker 1: the athlete from me. I think, is somebody that is beautiful, competitive,
Speaker 1: successful Simone Biles would? I mean, I hope she doesn't
Speaker 1: injure herself, but she did injure herself during her last Olympics,
Speaker 1: and she still competed. I don't think she gives up.
Speaker 1: She sticks around. Ashley contestant most likely to say, I'm
Speaker 1: not here to make friends, all.
Speaker 2: Right, So this is where I put Blake lively, because
Speaker 2: it doesn't seem like many of her Gossip Girl castmates
Speaker 2: have continued a friendship with her after the show.
Speaker 4: She obviously she obviously worked with Justin Baldoni and they.
Speaker 3: Are not friends.
Speaker 2: Her and Anna Kendrick also, they've worked together before and
Speaker 2: apparently there's drama between they're not drama, but they don't
Speaker 2: love each other as well.
Speaker 4: So based on the track record of working.
Speaker 2: With people and not liking them, we're going to put
Speaker 2: in Blake.
Speaker 1: I think it's a great choice.
Speaker 2: At the same time, she is apparently very close to
Speaker 2: her Traveling Pants sisters, but.
Speaker 1: You know way more about that. I have no problems
Speaker 1: I know nothing about what's happening here. I went with
Speaker 1: Jennifer Aniston.
Speaker 3: I feel like Jennifer Andison's friends with everyone.
Speaker 1: Well, I really did, because I saw friends and I
Speaker 1: wanted to put Jennifer Anison in the list. I don't
Speaker 1: have a great reason for this other than the fact
Speaker 1: that I just like to watch her on television.
Speaker 4: Again, I thought that you would say jen Andison for
Speaker 4: some reason along those lines.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's kind of my thought process.
Speaker 4: All right, who is oh?
Speaker 2: I like this question. Well, actually, I like the next question.
Speaker 2: The contessa that experience is a weird medical emergency during filming.
Speaker 2: I put this is where I put Britney Spears after
Speaker 2: you mentioned Brittany, because absolutely Brittany hasn't been so injury
Speaker 2: prone throughout her life between her knee and there's like
Speaker 2: always a reason that Brittany has to cancel a tour,
Speaker 2: whether it's her mental health or physical health.
Speaker 4: She's the one that I feel like is going to
Speaker 4: end up on that stretcher.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's just because poor thing, we've already seen her
Speaker 2: in the back of an ambulance before.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good choice, Ashley. This one's hard for me,
Speaker 1: So I kind of went with who who's really who's
Speaker 1: really good at getting attention for anything they do? And
Speaker 1: I've got to be careful with this because some names
Speaker 1: came to mind that would definitely cause listeners to never
Speaker 1: listen to this show again. So I won't mention those names.
Speaker 1: I'll just make people assume who it would be. But
Speaker 1: it's somebody dramatic, It's somebody known to enjoy any headline
Speaker 1: that gets posted about them. So it honestly was my
Speaker 1: third choice on this list. But I went with Courtney Kardashian.
Speaker 4: Courtney.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you went with Courtney to have a weird medical emergency?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did.
Speaker 2: But are you sure you had the right Kardashian because Chris'
Speaker 2: for a dramatic.
Speaker 1: Oh, who's the dramatic one other than Kim.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I don't think any of them are
Speaker 2: overly dramatic because.
Speaker 3: I'm an Ashley.
Speaker 1: Maybe I met Chloe.
Speaker 4: No, Chloe is very grounded.
Speaker 1: Oh goodness, I don't think.
Speaker 4: I don't think Chloe, but maybe like Chris would do it.
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean, I'm not against changing my answer to Chris.
Speaker 1: Chris has always been about headlines and getting her daughters
Speaker 1: famous for whatever reason. So let's change it to Chris.
Speaker 1: You talked me into it. I needed a Kardashian on
Speaker 1: this list because I needed people to vote for me.
Speaker 1: This one was fun for me. Contestant most likely to
Speaker 1: friend zone the Bachelor but enjoy their time at the mansion.
Speaker 2: This is one thousand percent the first. This was my
Speaker 2: easiest question to answer.
Speaker 1: Emma Stone, great choice. I went with Betty White. Oh, okay,
Speaker 1: that's a good one too. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Does Emma Stone not just seem to you like just
Speaker 2: a guy's girl that like you think that she's really
Speaker 2: hot and then you hang out with her and then
Speaker 2: maybe you're like, ah, maybe you're more of a bro.
Speaker 1: Yeah she does. No, it's exactly. That's very good. You
Speaker 1: know who else kind of brings that vibe to me
Speaker 1: on a day? Armis? Is that how you say her
Speaker 1: name is?
Speaker 4: Yeah, she's like the hottest thing now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I feel like she's like cool. Maybe it's
Speaker 1: just like me making it up in my head, but.
Speaker 2: I feel like she's definitely cool, definitely cool, all right,
Speaker 2: ben So Betty Betty White for you there, Who is
Speaker 2: the contestant most likely to eliminate self eliminate before a
Speaker 2: rose ceremony? I said Scarlett Johanson because I think Scarlett
Speaker 2: Johanson also so cool and she's just like knock. She's like,
Speaker 2: I am not here for the attention. I don't need
Speaker 2: to get further here just for the sake of getting further.
Speaker 2: I don't feel a connection. I'm gonna get out and
Speaker 2: I'm gonna use my cool voice and be like, hey,
Speaker 2: you're too cool for me, and I'm out of here.
Speaker 2: She doesn't take papara, she doesn't take pictures with fans
Speaker 2: when she's out and about. So I'm like, yeah, this
Speaker 2: girl like doesn't care, she's just all about like the work.
Speaker 1: Yeah, why is your cool voice deeper?
Speaker 4: Her cool voice is deep. She's like a cool raspy voice,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I thought that you were saying, Like you
Speaker 1: when you think of a cool voice.
Speaker 4: Most like, don't you think that?
Speaker 2: Like most girls like either they have like a really nice,
Speaker 2: like light, like very feminine voice and then like guys
Speaker 2: love that, or they like really like a mysterious voice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if I'm a mysterious guy because
Speaker 1: they tim No.
Speaker 2: You're definitely not think about it. Like Jess has like
Speaker 2: that beautiful, ultra feminine voice, and I'm very jealous of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, they kind of intimidate me. The mysterious does,
Speaker 1: which is why I chose the person I did. Emma
Speaker 1: Watson to me would just totally be too cool for school, here,
Speaker 1: no interest in going through the process, And if I
Speaker 1: was in the seat of the bachelor, she would be
Speaker 1: one that would intimidate me throughout the whole process and
Speaker 1: at some point I would like be nervous to speak
Speaker 1: with her and she'd just be like, I'm out of here.
Speaker 2: This guy sucks, I can I feel that. And I
Speaker 2: was going to also think of Natalie Portman. So we're
Speaker 2: thinking about like really intellectual girls. You've got your Brown
Speaker 2: girl here, I've got my Harvard girl.
Speaker 4: With Natalie Portman. They don't they don't need.
Speaker 2: This, Okay, So who is most likely to interrupt and
Speaker 2: steal the bachelor on a group date? Ben?
Speaker 1: This is this is a great question to try to
Speaker 1: figure out an answer. I went here with Taylor Swift.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I could see that. I could see it.
Speaker 1: Because I think she just speaks up to what she
Speaker 1: wants and she has expectations for that. So that's my answer.
Speaker 2: I dabbled with that answer as well. I eventually went
Speaker 2: with Megan Markle because we know the girl says she
Speaker 2: doesn't like attention, but she does, but she does, all right.
Speaker 1: Final question here location for the finale in proposal.
Speaker 2: Well, this is outrageous, so I can't say it's romantic,
Speaker 2: but to hold an event like this would be after,
Speaker 2: you know, a red carpet fuller than the Oscars. Let's
Speaker 2: just put the finale in the middle of the coliseum.
Speaker 1: Like the Colosseum in Rome or them in La Rome. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a good I mean goodness, great choice. I actually
Speaker 1: said the fountain in Rome. What is it? Trevy Fountain?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh pretty, because they were gonna be in Italy for me,
Speaker 1: and so I was like, it's a quick trip and
Speaker 1: how beautiful to have that thing lit up from behind?
Speaker 3: Oh gorgeous bed at night?
Speaker 1: No, just gorgeous. Yeah, we should become the producers of
Speaker 1: the Bachelor. Would be like a one hundred million dollars show. Anyways, Hey,
Speaker 1: that's our choices. Go on vote for us. You can
Speaker 1: choose Ashley if you'd like, but I would take a
Speaker 1: lot more personally if you did choose Ashley over me.
Speaker 3: They're pretty equal, they are.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a tough choice. I think we might
Speaker 1: get fifty to fifty here. Uh, this has been the
Speaker 1: Almost Famous podcast. This is our ideal Bachelor setup. Make
Speaker 1: sure you comment, question, get mad at us if some
Speaker 1: of these celebrities are bad choices, We don't mind. We'd
Speaker 1: love the feedback. So until next time, I've been Ben.
