1
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: Hey, everyone, welcome back to Beat your Happy Hour. I'm

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: Joe and I'm Serena, and we are here today to

3
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: recap episode number four of The Golden Bachelor.

4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 2: We are what'd you think of the episode?

5
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,959
Speaker 1: What did I think? Overall? I thought it was I

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: thought it was your typical middle of the pack episode.

7
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: Kind of shocked at the end that like, there's only

8
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 1: six women left. Nicole is definitely now, you know, for

9
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: a lack of a better term, the villain of the season. Uh,

10
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: because you know that's how it's looking, right, right or wrong?

11
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: I mean it was I guess like the influencer stuff,

12
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: like all right, whatever, like go off, you want to

13
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,639
Speaker 1: be an influencer. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

14
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: The calling the women from the previous season not attractive,

15
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: that's you're gonna have a hard time with that one.

16
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I tend to agree, but.

17
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, yeah, I mean if if

18
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: if if I was on, like, let's say my season,

19
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: I was like, well, the guys in last season aren't

20
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: as looking as us. I don't think that would be

21
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 1: a big deal.

22
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 2: The thing is, it's actually funny you say that, because

23
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 2: I think if a guy said it, it wouldn't be

24
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 2: a bit, It wouldn't be a big deal. Like if

25
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: one of the Golden Men was like, well, I'm happy

26
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 2: because this is a really good looking group of guys.

27
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: You know last season you kind of be like, that's

28
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 2: a bit of a weird thing to say, but like

29
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 2: you wouldn't think much of it. But like having Nicle,

30
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 2: like one of the women say it, it definitely cuts deeper.

31
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: I think also when she's objectively like incredibly attractive for

32
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 2: her to then be commenting like, oh, I'm really relieved

33
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 2: that this group of women is so great looking because

34
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 2: you know that last cast.

35
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: Let's recap from the beginning, from the.

36
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 2: Beginning, all right, So the episode starts off with Peg

37
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: my girl. She gets a one on one date and

38
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 2: they go to the amusement park in Orange County. What

39
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 2: did you think overall?

40
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: I I I like Peg. If anything is it Peg?

41
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 1: Is it Peg?

42
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 2: Oh?

43
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: No? Maybe not? I don't know. I don't know. I

44
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: don't know if there's Do you think he likes her?

45
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 2: I think he does really like her, and I do

46
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 2: think they have a connection, but I don't know if

47
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 2: after this date, I think she's the strongest connection I

48
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,959
Speaker 2: think that she is very in jettic and playful and fun,

49
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 2: and she's got a great personality. She's super smart, like

50
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 2: she's got all the things. But they just seem to

51
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 2: vibrate on different frequencies. Wow, what don't you agree? Like

52
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 2: so much?

53
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: I do. She wasn't expecting you to say it like that.

54
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, okay, Well that's what I went with, and

55
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 2: I stand by it.

56
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it that she is. But I think they

57
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: are vibrating on different frequencies.

58
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 2: Thank you. Yeah, And I think sometimes that works, you know,

59
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know if it works here

60
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 2: or not. I'm not sure. I feel like we have

61
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 2: to wait and see how they evolve.

62
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: Something's missing, and then I'm.

63
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 2: Not even I feel like a lot of the time

64
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 2: our feedback on these dates is like, oh my gosh,

65
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 2: I love her, but I just don't see her like

66
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 2: a romantic connection between them. I actually do see a

67
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 2: romantic connection between them. I just don't know if they

68
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 2: are actually like fit.

69
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, something's off.

70
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know what it is.

71
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think I like her. She's mentioned that

72
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: her you know, her marriage ended because of infidelity. Yes,

73
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: doesn't really say, who was the cheater out of.

74
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 2: The group said that her husband cheated on her? Is

75
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 2: that on her her interview?

76
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: I mean I kind of felt that's what she was saying.

77
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 2: I thought it was an interesting way of saying it.

78
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 2: When she presented to me, she said, my marriage ended

79
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 2: due to infidelity. If I'm my first follow up question

80
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 2: is and on what side committed the infidelity? You know,

81
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 2: not that we're going to like hold it against her,

82
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 2: but like I think that's something you want to know. Yeah,

83
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 2: like if because if that was me, some fingers who

84
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 2: did it, Yeah, I.

85
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: Would be like, yeah, my marriage ended because my next

86
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: wife cheated. That's why. That's why if I was the cheater,

87
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: I'd be like, there was infidelity. So, you know, I

88
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: mean I'm a little suspicious of the phrasing.

89
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 2: Okay, anyway, she you know, she talks about PEG's definitely

90
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 2: got like a bit of like a fun wild side,

91
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 2: talks about like her tattoos, and they bond over, you know,

92
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 2: their divorces and they definitely have things in common again

93
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 2: like kind of like, oh.

94
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: She did say she's got a tattoo that she can't

95
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: show on TV. But if they make it to the

96
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 1: fantasy suites and Mel seemed to like that.

97
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm sure he did like that. I like that.

98
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 2: I thought that was like a great move on Pegs

99
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 2: yeah herself there, and then they went to the concert,

100
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 2: which was what's that band's name again? I totally knew

101
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 2: the song like the minute I heard it.

102
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: Casey in the Sunshine Band. I will say I'm not

103
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: a fan of the concert dates. I just feel embarrassment

104
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: for them, even though they don't they don't look bad.

105
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: I would just be in that situation. I would just

106
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: be like I would be so embarrassed. I'd just be

107
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: like a wreck when they would when like the band

108
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: would be like and now everybody give it up for

109
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: the Golden Bachelor date, I'd be like, oh my god.

110
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 2: You know what's actually so funny is watching it Like

111
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: Mel is a little bit stiffer, and he also seems

112
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 2: like someone that doesn't want to be filmed while watching

113
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 2: a concert, whereas Peg is just like jumping around living

114
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 2: her best life. And I actually feel like that is

115
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 2: what you and I would look like if we were

116
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 2: on that date. Like you would be like, literally get

117
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 2: me out of here, and I would be like, what

118
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 2: do you mean? We're having so much fun.

119
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is exactly how that would go down.

120
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: But I get what you're saying, Like watching someone watch

121
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 2: something else and being watched watching something else. It's just

122
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 2: a little bit not comfortable.

123
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's all. That's all I'm saying.

124
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 2: All right, So she gets the rose, No surprise there.

125
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 2: Moving on, hold this episode. The first thing we see

126
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 2: her saying this episode is that she does not see

127
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 2: chemistry between Peg and mal, which, you know what, I

128
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 2: kind of respect her honesty.

129
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: Who Nicole, Yeah, she said she doesn't see chemistry between Yeah, listen, Hey.

130
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 2: That's her opinion, Like she's allowed to have She is

131
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 2: allowed to have an opinion. It doesn't mean she's right

132
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 2: or wrong. That's just from what she seen, she doesn't

133
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 2: see chemistry there. And I actually think we need to

134
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 2: bring back people not being afraid to share their opinions

135
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 2: on television.

136
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: Give us something television.

137
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 2: Let's be clear, we're talking about reality television.

138
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, give us give us something to watch. And right now,

139
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: you know, disagree with they're all you want. Nicole's giving

140
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: us something to watch. She's being She's given her opinions,

141
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: and they're a little polarizing, and I'm fucking here for it.

142
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I'm not bad of her being an interview

143
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 2: being like, yeah, I don't really see the chemistry there,

144
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,559
Speaker 2: and you know what, everyone reserves the right to change

145
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 2: their mind. She's not saying like they should never end

146
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 2: up together. She's just like, I don't see it. Yeah,

147
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 2: and maybe we'll interview her later. She'll be like, actually,

148
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 2: I watched the show and I do see it now,

149
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 2: I get it, but I I I'm forming controversy on

150
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 2: the show. A little polarizing personality.

151
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: Nicolevo is kind of she is giving a little bit

152
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: like I the only one that really has chemistry is

153
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: me A little bit.

154
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I would love to know who Nicole

155
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 2: thinks he does have chemistry with. That's not her. Okay,

156
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 2: So we see she is sitting with the ladies. They're

157
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 2: having a hang out in the kitchen, and she is

158
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 2: basically saying, I'm not just dating mal I'm dating America.

159
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: Bad thing to say.

160
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 2: Don't say it, Nicole, don't say that.

161
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: Do not say that. Now I think she likes mel

162
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: I just I mean, yeah, don't say that.

163
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 2: Next up on the list of things she probably shouldn't

164
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 2: have said was she said the last cast wasn't as attractive.

165
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 1: Definitely, don't say that.

166
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 2: I don't say that.

167
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: There's just no way that's gonna go over well with anyone.

168
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 2: No, no. And another thing that was the main top

169
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 2: of conversation was she basically.

170
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: I'm actually really curious to see what Kathy has to

171
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: say about that. So, Kathy, if you're listening to this podcast,

172
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: I'm waiting for your.

173
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 2: That was really all I could think about when I

174
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 2: was watching this is what Kathy was thinking and what

175
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 2: she's gonna.

176
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: Say about Kathy is not gonna like that.

177
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 2: No she is not, and she's gonna have something to

178
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 2: say about it. To close out, she then talks about

179
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 2: how she wants a cooking show or to be an

180
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 2: influencer focused on how healthy food products and that you

181
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 2: know this, you know she was comparing herself to like

182
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 2: they're going to be like the next Real Housewives, Like

183
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 2: they're going to have these followings and you know they're

184
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 2: not on the show season after season, but like there

185
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 2: is an opportunity. Look, as much as you shouldn't say it,

186
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 2: Nicole gets what's going on.

187
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: Here, yeah, to an extent, but like, yeah, I just

188
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: that's not that just never goes overwhell No.

189
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 2: It doesn't. And you know you've got Peg sitting next

190
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 2: to her, who just had this like beautiful date and

191
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 2: she's like, I'm just here for a nice guy, and

192
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 2: like that's kind of the nail on the coffin front

193
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 2: Nicole in this conversation, because you've got these women who

194
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 2: are like, I'm literally just here for love and Nicole's

195
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 2: here for business opportunities. But if we're going to start

196
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 2: cutting the regular season contestant slack on the fact that

197
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 2: they are aware that they can profit and benefit their

198
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 2: careers from the show afterwards, I think is it like

199
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 2: right to now condemn Nicole for it, because I feel

200
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 2: like we're starting to move away from that on the

201
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 2: normal seasons. We're starting to like not villainize people for

202
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 2: recognizing that, like social media exists and like you might

203
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 2: make a couple bucks after this show.

204
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: Well I don't. I don't think she will get villainiced

205
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: for saying it. I think it's I think it's unfortunately.

206
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: I think it's how it comes off because if she

207
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, like if this doesn't work out with mel,

208
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: like maybe maybe I could become an influencer. Like a

209
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: lot of people watch the show. That's fine, right, She's

210
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: essentially saying like, I'm not just dating mel, I'm dating America.

211
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 2: Like and I'm building a brand and I'm working for

212
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 2: So it.

213
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: Does seem like it does seem like that's almost that's

214
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: like priority number one. So it's like, if you know,

215
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: it's totally fine to recognize that you could gain a

216
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: following after and career opportunities could come from it. But

217
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: if you're there for that and you really don't have

218
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: any intentions of ending up with the lead, then that's

219
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: that's where you're going to get villainized. But I think

220
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: where she's going to catch a lot of heat is

221
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: for saying that they're a better looking guess than the

222
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: last one. Like that, you're going to catch heat for that.

223
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,599
Speaker 2: Then we're moving on to the group date. It's a

224
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 2: People magazine photo shoot.

225
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: They also also she also took credit for like the

226
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: lemon cookies, but they all made that.

227
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we'll get into that, don't worry. That is

228
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 2: in my notes for sure. But it's basically, you know,

229
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 2: they all pick their costume and they do a photo show.

230
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 2: I feel like we kind of see this every season,

231
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 2: like a different version of it. Nicole runs right up

232
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 2: to mouth and is like hugging him and kissing him,

233
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 2: and you hear her say, you know, we're the power couple, right,

234
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 2: And like this girl is playing chess like everyone here

235
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 2: is playing checkers, like she's playing chess, like they're playing softball,

236
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 2: like she's playing hardball, like she is gunning for that

237
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 2: final rose every chance she gets.

238
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I do think I think I also think

239
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,599
Speaker 1: she likes him, like I don't. I think she doesn't.

240
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 2: Strike me as someone that would be putting it all

241
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 2: out there for someone that she really didn't find intelligent, attractive,

242
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 2: worthy of her time. Yeah, I agree, Like I actually

243
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 2: don't think she would be all over this man if

244
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 2: she wasn't genuinely interested in Yeah, I agree, I agree.

245
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 2: But you know she's she's laying it on thick, especially

246
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 2: in front of the other women, so you know you're

247
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 2: you're gonna get some side eye there.

248
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

249
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 2: All right. So we see Debbie gets the wedding dress.

250
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 2: She's the beach bride. It's kind of she's never wore emotional. Yeah,

251
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 2: she's never worn a wedding dress before. I feel like

252
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 2: after this episode, I thought the scene was so sweet

253
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 2: and I really like Debbie. I think we can put

254
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 2: the whole like never been married thing to bed. I

255
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 2: feel like the show like is really leaning into that,

256
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 2: and it's like, Okay, I get it, she's never been married, Like,

257
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 2: tell me something else about Debbie. She works out she's

258
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 2: never been married, Like, I want to learn a little

259
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,239
Speaker 2: bit more about her personality.

260
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: But you've been covering this show now for how long

261
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 1: and been watching it for how long? They don't just

262
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: drop things that's not getting dropped, that will be there

263
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: until the very end.

264
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, you're right, Nicole, Carol and Cindy do

265
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 2: a little like morning after photoshoot. Carol is really uncomfortable

266
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 2: because her costume is just a towel, and she's definitely

267
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 2: more reserved. I think Carol's also hyper aware of the

268
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 2: fact that she has children, children, and a lot of

269
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 2: people watching her, and you know, maybe in the privacy

270
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 2: of a dark bar she gets a little wild. But

271
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 2: like on television, she wants to present herself in a

272
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 2: certain light, and that's totally fair. I can totally understand that.

273
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: I think she comes across very classy.

274
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 2: Very classy. I agree, Melan Cindy get their kind of

275
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 2: special extra time for one on one photo shoot. I

276
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 2: think that might be the strongest connection.

277
00:14:59,480 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do.

278
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 2: Like I know, in the beginning we were hesitant about

279
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 2: Cindy because we were like, she's already having such a

280
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 2: hard time, it usually doesn't go over well, and like

281
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 2: it still might not. But I actually think watching them

282
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 2: interact in this episode, their connection was like the strongest

283
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 2: to me.

284
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: I agree, I agree. I think I think I think

285
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: they really like each other. I also I think it

286
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: may not be apparent to us as a viewer, but

287
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: I think I don't think I think Mel. I think

288
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: if you're a woman on the show, you could tell

289
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: who Mel is really into totally. And I don't know

290
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: if if you see that fully watching it on the television,

291
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: but I think when Mel's like, I think Mel is really.

292
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 2: Into her Cindy. Yeah, yeah, I think so too. And

293
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 2: I really like them together, like I really, I really

294
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 2: see it. They seem very comfortable. There's definitely like sexual chemistry.

295
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 2: They look beautiful. They seem like very intes sitting each other,

296
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 2: like when they're having conversation, they're very locked in on

297
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 2: it and what each other's saying. So yeah, Carol has

298
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 2: her one on one chat with Mel. I don't know

299
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 2: why this conversation, Like I don't want to say bugged me,

300
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 2: but like, I know Mal is trying to get Carol

301
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 2: out of her shell. But I think it's okay that

302
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 2: she's reserved, Like I think that's just who she is

303
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 2: in this environment. And I also don't think he's like

304
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 2: giving her a lot.

305
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: Well, she's like I don't.

306
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 2: Like, I'm like, well, you should get out of your

307
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 2: shell too, like both of you are reserved.

308
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: Well, she said, I don't kiss a guy like I

309
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: want the guy to kiss me. And Mel's kind of

310
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: like lean back, like not.

311
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 2: Really, No, he's like lounging on the cap.

312
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: Yeah he's not really, So it's either I honestly, I

313
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: think it could just be he's just not that into her.

314
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 2: I don't get the vibe he's crazy into her. I

315
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 2: think he likes her, but like, I just don't think

316
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 2: that they fit in terms of their personalities because I

317
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 2: think they both want to be pursued. Like Mel doesn't

318
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 2: strike me as like a major pursuer. He seems to

319
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 2: like the more like strong women who are like more outgoing.

320
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 2: You know, we see Nicole, we see pegs are.

321
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: Like when you're when you're the lead, and you you

322
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: go into being the lead and you're not someone that's

323
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: like a pursuer, a major pursuer. It makes it so

324
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: much easier when all these women are are coming at

325
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 1: you strong, because then you are going to get lazy

326
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: with it. You're going to be like, this is this

327
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: is how it should be.

328
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 2: And he can get lazy with it because the women

329
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 2: have to put themselves out there in order to like

330
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 2: make the most of their time. So it kind of works.

331
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 2: But if you're a contestant like Carol, who she wants

332
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 2: to feel pursued, like she wants to feel courted, she

333
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 2: wants to feel like he's attracted to her and like

334
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 2: is excited about her and wants to kiss her, And

335
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 2: I don't think he really gives her that energy. So

336
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 2: I just think that it's kind of like a uh,

337
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 2: what's it called, like a square peg, round hole situation,

338
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 2: Like they're just not aligning.

339
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: To me, Well, it's a little ridiculous what we're doing here,

340
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: just in general of like like the lead just has

341
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: such an advantage, Like it's just crazy, Like we actually

342
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: like kind of step back and just look at this

343
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: for a moment.

344
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 2: Of like Mal could do like nothing and it would

345
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 2: so work.

346
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: Out for you. Yeah, Like the lead is just like

347
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: like you're there's only one of you and there's thirty

348
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: of them, like it's and they like and they are

349
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: like I want to end up with this part, Like

350
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: it's just crazy. Yeah, it's just such an advantage you

351
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: can really do, Like to fuck up as the lead,

352
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: you really have to fuck up, Yeah, you really do,

353
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: and like it's it's been done well.

354
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 2: Because usually the leads that fuck up they resistant. Mal

355
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 2: is not resisting literally anything. He's like, I'm I'm going

356
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 2: with the flow. I'm just handing up my roses and

357
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 2: I'm going on these dates and I'm chatting with these women.

358
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 2: Have I seen him go like above and beyond yet? No.

359
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: As long as you as long as you're the lead

360
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: and you go with the flow and you don't tell

361
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: more than two women.

362
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 2: You love them, you're probably gonna be fine.

363
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: You're you're, you're, you're fine when you when you go

364
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: over to when you start throwing the love word around

365
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: a lot.

366
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's when it gets start, when it gets dark.

367
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 1: But other than that, you really can't. Like, there's not

368
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: too many things you could do wrong.

369
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 2: No, but I mean somehow they happen to do it

370
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 2: a lot. Yeah, but Mel's in the Claire. Mel's gonna

371
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 2: be He's gonna be a home run. He's gonna get

372
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 2: all the way to the end. He's he already did

373
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 2: his controversial moment with his podcast interview before the show.

374
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 2: He had his controversy, got it out of the way.

375
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 2: He's gonna flow through the season. He's gonna get engaged

376
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 2: and it's gonna be all good.

377
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is great. I mean, yeah, he got rid

378
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 1: of the controversy right off. The said something stupid right

379
00:19:58,960 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: at the beginning and.

380
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 2: This apologized and moved on. I like it. But I

381
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 2: like Carol and I'm proud of her for putting herself

382
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 2: out of her comfort zone and kissing mouth.

383
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 1: We're also having Carol on this week, so we will

384
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: talk to her more. Make sure you tune in for that.

385
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 2: Another highlight on this date is Robin tells Mel he

386
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 2: thinks that some people aren't being authentic. She thinks people

387
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 2: aren't being authentic and he says, well, what do you

388
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 2: what does that mean? And she says, not here for

389
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,479
Speaker 2: the right reasons, and he basically says, I don't think

390
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 2: that's true. He squashed that real quick.

391
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:46,239
Speaker 1: She didn't fully commit, because if you're gonna go, if

392
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna go tell the lead on someone, you need

393
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: to tell on the person, you can't. You can't.

394
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 2: You can't, you can't dip your towel.

395
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't do it like that. And Mal was like,

396
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: I don't give a fuck, Like I'm sixty five, I

397
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: don't care if they're here for the wrong reasons. I

398
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 1: don't even think they are. And it just doesn't bother

399
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 1: me at all.

400
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 2: No, he didn't care one bit, and I kind of yeah,

401
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 2: I don't know. This conversation was I think that Robin

402
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 2: had the best of intentions. I don't think she did

403
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 2: anything wrong per se. And I just agree with you.

404
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 2: We're like either typically from watching the show, we've watched

405
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 2: so many seasons, what works is either you don't say

406
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 2: anything at all and you just wait for things to

407
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 2: play out, or you go in with a detailed story.

408
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 2: You say, this is who's saying it, this is what

409
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 2: they're saying, this is why all the girls in the

410
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 2: house are pissed off about it. Do with that watch

411
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 2: you will.

412
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, if I was the lead, I wouldn't carry you.

413
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: I'd be like, I'll make that judge them call on

414
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: my own. Yeah, you know, like I don't care.

415
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, someone I guess if I was the lead and

416
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 2: someone came to me, they're like some people are inauthentic.

417
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 2: I'd be like, yeah, like, welcome to the globe. Like

418
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 2: every room you walk into, you're gonna find a couple

419
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 2: inauthentic people, Like that's just how the story goes.

420
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's and it's just like the person saying

421
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: it's not like the leads is not gonna be like OMG,

422
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 1: like you are, like I think I love you.

423
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 2: And you're saving me from a life of misery. Yeah,

424
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 2: like one of these liars, it's like.

425
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: Let's run away now, Like that's just never going to happen.

426
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 2: I don't think that was her gold though. I think

427
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 2: she care.

428
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 1: I think she did it. Yeah, I think she did

429
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: it because she's like I was sitting there listening to

430
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: this conversation. I think he deserves to know, but she

431
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: needed to bring more details. Yes, you're just doing it

432
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:39,239
Speaker 1: that way, You're just like well.

433
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 2: I also think maybe she was thinking I'm not going

434
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 2: to say who unless he asks me, Like if he

435
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 2: is interested in. Is like, wait, that concerns me. I

436
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 2: want to know who. Maybe she would have then told.

437
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: Him, Yeah, alst like I got like seven days to

438
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: fantasy suitees, like, just let's just get through this. Just

439
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 1: let me do my thing, all right.

440
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 2: Harrol gets the group date Rose. We jump to the

441
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 2: tailgate party. It's a cocktail party during the day. They

442
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,919
Speaker 2: were doing beer pong with prune juice, which you know,

443
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 2: ha ha, I get it, like, you know, golden people

444
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 2: drink prune juice. Cheryl has a chat with Mel. She

445
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 2: kind of says, like, you feel like my prince, I

446
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 2: feel like a princess, which I think is very sweet

447
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 2: and like kind of how you should feel when you're

448
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 2: falling in love. But Mel's response makes me think Cheryl's

449
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:34,360
Speaker 2: probably going home next week.

450
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

451
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 2: I don't think he was really resonating her excitement and

452
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 2: enthusiasm about the relationship. He wasn't meeting it.

453
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: It just sounded I'm just like, yeah, like I don't know,

454
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: like I don't know, I just like the prince princess thing,

455
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 1: and just I would be weirded out by.

456
00:23:54,960 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 2: That, Okay, Cindy. I just think he's the most like

457
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 2: cutesy with her, Like going back to the theme of

458
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 2: like feeling like a kid, like they give me like

459
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 2: teenagers in love when I see them hanging out and talking. Yeah,

460
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 2: like he seems the most sweet and cutesy with her.

461
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: That's why I don't think he's gonna pick her.

462
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 2: Really, Yeah, because riding for Team Cindy right now.

463
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: Because I just feel like she's I I don't know,

464
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 1: I could be totally wrong. I just feel like she's

465
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: gonna be the one that's heartbroken at the end or.

466
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 2: Like can't handle like fantasy sweets or something.

467
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just I just don't I just don't think

468
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna be her. And it could be, they could,

469
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: really could. I just think she's for whatever reason, I

470
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 1: can't really like pinpoint it, but I just think she's

471
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: gonna be number two.

472
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 2: Damn.

473
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 1: I still think that'd be's the winner. I think. But

474
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:56,199
Speaker 1: like I could also see Peg being the one at

475
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: the end too. Yes, I can see Peg coming around

476
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 1: really wrong at the end, similar to it's like similar to.

477
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 2: Uh wow, you're really on the same wavelength with that one.

478
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, It's just like it's like the same. I just

479
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 1: feel like all of a sudden at the end, You're

480
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: gonna be like, how did I not see this the

481
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: whole time? It was her the whole time.

482
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think what I'm looking for when I'm trying

483
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 2: to like decipher who these strongest connections are, is who

484
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 2: I feel like kind of like breaks Mel's shell a

485
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 2: little bit. I'm like having a hard time seeing him

486
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 2: really like excited and enthusiastic about anyone right now. But

487
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:39,919
Speaker 2: those Peg and Cindy and Debbie I think would be

488
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 2: the three at this point in the season that I

489
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 2: feel like he's shown the most sweetness towards and the

490
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 2: cole Nicole Nicle. I think he's very attractive to her,

491
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 2: and I think he I think he likes the fact

492
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 2: that she's pursuing him. Yeah, I think he finds that exciting.

493
00:25:58,160 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 2: So yeah, those would be my top four right now.

494
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:01,360
Speaker 1: And Shockers and who went home?

495
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 2: No surprise is there for me.

496
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,120
Speaker 1: I mean, if I was Jerry when he came out

497
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: at the end, and like, honestly, like, if I did

498
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: it again, you would you would get my first impression Roles.

499
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 1: I'd be like, well, so what are you saying? Like

500
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 1: I make a good, good first impression, but then like.

501
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 2: You get to know me. You don't like me, I.

502
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: Don't like Like that's not a compliment, like.

503
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 2: I mean it is. She made a great first impression,

504
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 2: but it just didn't didn't go further than a great

505
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 2: first impression of like I really liked her a lot.

506
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 2: I'm like sad she's gone.

507
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I agree. But it's like, if you know,

508
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,439
Speaker 1: if she's that great, fuck you cutting her for her?

509
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: You know.

510
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 2: One thing we have to chat about quickly is the

511
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 2: lemon bar situation with Nicole. Yeah, so they're all in

512
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 2: the kitchen making lemon bars. Nicole has said in her interview,

513
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 2: like I did all the work for these lemon bars, which,

514
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 2: to Nicole's credit, for all we know she did literally

515
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 2: everything else, like we we don't know for sure. Well,

516
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 2: just to give her the benefit of the doubt, however.

517
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 1: Well an interview, Sydney said, that's Cindy. That's how I

518
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 1: say it.

519
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 2: You can't say it wrong. You have to say her name, right, Sidney, Cindy.

520
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:14,400
Speaker 1: Cindy, Yes, Cindy, Yeah, keep it going. Say you said

521
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,439
Speaker 1: an interview that we all did, we all worked on that.

522
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 2: You're right, she did, she did, and we did see

523
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 2: a lot of the women in the kitchen. I also

524
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 2: think like, okay, so you did eighty percent, you did

525
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 2: seventy percent, you did sixty percent, whatever, like this was

526
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 2: a team effort and a team idea and for her

527
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,959
Speaker 2: to take those and use them in her one on

528
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 2: one time with Mel and she was like, you know,

529
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 2: they're from all of us, but like mostly me. Yeah.

530
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 2: I was like, come on, Nicole, like you're you're digging

531
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 2: yourself a deep hole right now my head.

532
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's yeah, that's like I'm watching. I'm like, I'm like, oh,

533
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 1: like just just stop. I know, like you are.

534
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 2: And I do believe that she's like I wouldn't care

535
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,439
Speaker 2: if someone else did this, Like I think she is

536
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 2: very like all as fair in love and war, like

537
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 2: you guys wanted to do this, like go ahead, but

538
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 2: she also needs to look around the room and realize,

539
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 2: like people aren't doing this and it's for a reason,

540
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 2: and it's out of consideration for other women's feelings. I

541
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 2: think she is giving a little like I'm not here

542
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 2: to make friends energy with the like okay, yeah, we

543
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 2: all work to make these lemon bars, Like I'm going

544
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 2: to use these for my one on one time with Mel.

545
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 2: I thought it was actually really interesting. They both went

546
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 2: to culinary school.

547
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

548
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 2: Like, and I also just like, you guys have a connection.

549
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 2: You guys have a real genuine connection and a lot

550
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 2: in common. I don't think you need to be like

551
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 2: stealing lemon bars from the group, Like, you don't need

552
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 2: that right now.

553
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: Definitely not. I agree.

554
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 2: If anything, I'm like, let Robin do it. She's on

555
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 2: the chopping block, give her the lemon bars.

556
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think Nicole, all she has to

557
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: do is just keep pursuing me, like physically, and I

558
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,959
Speaker 1: think she's fine. Yeah, Like, I don't think she has

559
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: to be like and I also Bake, I don't think

560
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: he cares.

561
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 2: Well, I'm more just meinly, she doesn't have to kind

562
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 2: of like turn her back on the good of the

563
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 2: group in order to set herself apart. I think she

564
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 2: naturally stands out. And I just think that this if

565
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 2: they all agreed they were gonna give these ta melas

566
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 2: a group, there was just no need for her to

567
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 2: be like, I'm actually gonna go against that and do

568
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 2: this for myself. Yeah, I agree, But yeah, we'll see,

569
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 2: We'll see what's to come. I don't think anything has

570
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 2: surprised me in terms of who went home so far,

571
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,360
