I actually did, I just pinched the Hunger Games. 0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:16.360 They were pretty good. But that's not what we'll be 0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:17.120 talking about today. 0:00:17.160 --> 0:00:19.440 We are going to different kind of Hunger Games today. 0:00:19.960 --> 0:00:23.239 Today we are going to recap the episode which was 0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:26.639 Hometown's Serena's favorite favorite episode of the season. 0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:30.040 If you listened to this podcast consistently, you know that 0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:33.080 Hometowns is my least favorite episode of the season, but 0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:38.199 a crucial episode nonetheless, Like I can't imagine this journey 0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:41.080 without a Hometown's episode. Having been a contestant, It's like 0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:44.640 one of the most important weeks I think for the 0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:47.880 contestants getting to connect with their families, getting to have 0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:51.559 the lead meet their families, Like it's absolutely essential. 0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:55.520 But as a viewer, you it's just not my absolute favorite. 0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:59.640 Fine, that's totally fine.

We're excited to 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:31.680 have him. He is super entertaining and very hilarious. It's 0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:33.360 going to be a good interview. You won't want to 0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:34.160 miss that one. 0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:38.679 Okay, So let's kick it off. The episode starts off. 0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:42.480 They don't waste any time. Just instantly we are seeing Kelsey. 0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:45.880 We're in New Orleans and we are at her hometown. 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:49.040 We are I've never been to New Orleans. I have 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:51.040 heard mixed reviews. 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:54.840 Uh, yeah, I've been. I've been there. I've been to 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:59.160 New Orleans, I think twice twice. 0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:01.000 Twice twice. I feel like the only thing. 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:04.160 I used to watch The Vampire Diaries and they like 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:06.760 went to New Orleans in the Vampire Dires. I was like, 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:09.200 this place looks so cool, but it sounds like it's 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:11.680 like really heavy French food. 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:16.120 Yeah, you would not do well as far as your stomach. 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:17.520 I'm not a big like French cuisine person because I 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:20.360 just find it all to be incredibly rich and buttery 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:24.919 and oily, which is delicious, but I usually feel kind 0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:25.320 of sick. 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:29.360 After they have grilled oysters, which would definitely mess up 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:30.800 your stomach. But they're incredible. 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:34.440 That sounds amazing. I want to try. Like, what's the like. 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:38.200 The fish stew from New Orleans or like there's like 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:42.600 a stew like a crew. Oh, yes, you know what 0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:45.320 I'm talking about. I'm a terrible job of describing it. 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:46.960 Oh not gumbo soup. 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:47.400 Gumbo. 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:49.679 Yeah, oh my gosh, I've had gumbo, just to be clear, 0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:50.400 and I know what it is. 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:51.920 It just the name was escaping me. 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:56.480 But we see Joey and Kelsey eating begnets. You know 0:02:56.520 --> 0:03:00.840 what is No, it's like it's essentially like it's like 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:01.600 fried dough. 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:03.040 Oh, like a donut. 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:06.480 It's like, yeah, it's like a donable. It's it's it's 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:10.600 loaded with powdered sugar and it's just. 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:13.200 Like I feel like every not every, but a lot 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:16.519 of cultures have their own take on like a donut. Yeah, 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:18.720 you know what I mean, Like the like the Greek 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.600 one is like the lokomades. Do you know what I'm 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:24.880 talking about? Like the honey the little Honey doughnuts? 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:26.280 I don't. I don't know. 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:28.880 Okay, well I also probably just butchered the name, but 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:30.519 I stand by what I said. I feel like there's 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:32.359 a lot of different takes on it. I would be 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:33.160 very dawn to try that. 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:33.959 It looks delicious. 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:35.200 Do you have a favorite donut? 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:39.480 Do I have a favorite donut? Probably, but like I'd 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:40.960 have to think about it. I don't even know the 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:45.040 last doughnut I ate to be honest, Yeah, I do 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:46.040 you have a favorite donut? 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:46.760 Chocolate? 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:49.400 Just a chocolate donut? Do you like it when they're 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:51.800 more like Bready and Dowe or more cakey. 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:52.440 More cakey? 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:53.080 Yeah? 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:56.120 I like double chocolate, like chocolate dipped on the top. 0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:59.560 This is so Canadian, but like growing up, I loved 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:03.720 like the chocolate dipped classic donut for Tim Harty's. 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:06.320 Yeah, who doesn't at Timparts. 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:08.440 Was like my go to donut for most of my life. 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:13.480 That's great. So do we think joe How do Joey 0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:17.479 and Kelsey? They really seem like they are there meshing 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:17.960 very well. 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:22.400 Oh yeah, they're giving like boyfriend and girlfriend. Super great 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:25.800 fit together. The chemistry is there. This is like the 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:28.560 happiest I feel like we've seen her. She just seems 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:33.880 so comfortable, so relaxed in her element. Like the difference 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:37.359 between her like week two to now, I feel like 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:41.240 we've really seen her personality come through. And I just 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:44.560 feel like the contestants' personalities never shine through more than 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:47.000 when they are in their hometown for obvious reasons, Like 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:50.000 they're just more comfortable. Yeah, and she's just smiling, She's 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:52.800 jumping around like she is loving life. 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:55.760 And I like seeing the butterflies. They remind her of 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:57.520 her mom. And then she saw a butterfly when she 0:04:57.600 --> 0:04:58.120 was interviewing. 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:00.480 Yeah, there was a few moments where she saw butterflies 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:02.880 because I think her and Joey were standing on the bridge. 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:04.000 He was like, I want to see one. 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:06.120 Too, and She's like, look because it reminds her of 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:08.880 her mom, which honestly I can't talk about because I'll 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:09.359 start crying. 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:14.600 I will say, Joey to me, Joey seems the most relaxed. 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:16.800 I think I've said this before, but seems the most 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:18.200 comfortable in himself. 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:21.400 With Kelsey totally, I agree, Like. 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:23.279 Even when they were like eating Begnetes. I don't know. 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:25.520 There was just like a shot of where I'm like, 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:29.960 he just seems like he's living his life opposed to 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:31.320 being the bachelor. 0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:34.800 I agree. They just seem like a great fit. I 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:37.039 really like them together. They're very cute. 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:40.160 We go to Kelsey's house. It's her brother, her sister, 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:44.120 and her dad. You know, like you kind of I 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:47.159 think when you watch Hometowns, you kind of like hope 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:53.240 that like the families either like crazy or mean just 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:56.400 for a little just like if some entertainment, but like 0:05:56.839 --> 0:06:01.320 they couldn't be more welcoming and warm. 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:04.600 And oh my god, her dad was like amazing, Like 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:06.920 I loved her dad so much. I was like, this 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:08.800 guy seems like he's the best. 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:13.000 And it's nice. It's nice like when the family gets 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:16.880 it like it's the worst when you when you walk in, 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:19.800 when when they walk in and the family's like, well 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:23.200 I don't even know what this is, and it's like, okay, 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:27.200 well you should have done your reasons like this. 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:29.360 Like what do you mean, Like your kid's been gone 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:31.720 for weeks and you don't know what's going on. 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:34.480 So like it is nice when like like Joey had 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:38.280 a conversation with the father, and he was just kind 0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:40.960 of like he honestly, he was just nice and like 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:45.320 understanding and like he completely got that there's other women 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:47.599 there and I think he respects. Joey, by the way, 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:51.280 in my opinion, also has handled the conversations with all 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:54.560 the parents like so well, Like it was it's the 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:57.839 first time in a while where I've seen a lead 0:06:58.320 --> 0:06:59.640 like really take control. 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:02.200 Agree, I absolutely agree. 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:08.320 Honestly, he's the best bachelor in terms of the way 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:11.360 he's handled hometown specifically that we've seen in a really 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:14.640 long time. Like I was unbelievably impressed with how he 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:19.840 handled every single conversation. He like was proactive and comforting 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:22.200 the parents. If he felt like there was hesitation, he 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:24.800 was upfront with them. There was no bs, which I 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:26.400 do find a lot of the leads do. But he 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:30.560 just was very smooth about his delivery and there was 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:32.280 a lot of confidence and you could tell that the 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:37.160 parents responded really well to him. And I almost wanted 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:39.400 to be like Joey, like, could you do not great? 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:41.400 Not as good of a job? Like this is getting 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:44.720 to be boring, Like every parent just loves you and 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:47.920 because they love them and it's just it's going so well. 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:50.240 But yeah, I was very impressed, Like you said, he 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:50.800 was just he was. 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:53.400 Just very confident in his delivery and like what came 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:56.880 out of his mouth, it just all and like as 0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:01.160 a parent, that had to make them feel a little comfortable, 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:03.720 like this guy, this guy at least knows what he's 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:05.160 doing in this situation totally. 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:07.600 Well, I don't think he's told anyone he's falling in 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:08.160 love with them. 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:12.480 No, he's been really close lipped. 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:15.720 Sorry, sorry, my brain just completely stopped for a second. 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:19.600 He's been he's been tight left about his feelings, which 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:21.560 probably makes it easier going to home, just being like, 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:23.600 I haven't told anyone how I feel because I don't 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:26.040 want to set anyone up for failure. Whereas when they 0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:27.560 go in and they're like, oh, well I told some 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:29.160 of the women that I'm falling in love with them, 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:31.920 the parents are always like, well why did you do that? 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:35.240 But the convo goes really well with Kelsey's dad. He 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:37.240 also just kind of seems like the dad that's like 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:42.440 if she wants to get engaged, great, if she doesn't, 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:45.280 no problem, Like I'm fully supportive of her. 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:47.319 Yeah, he just wants his daughter to be happy. 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:49.840 Yeah, and he's not like he just seems like he 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:52.160 really trusts his daughter too, And you could. 0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:54.240 Tell he's somebody that he's been through a lot and 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:59.800 he you know, understands life. I guess just like there's 0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:03.199 a chance you're gonna get your heart broken, but that's okay. 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:05.200 Yeah, And if you want to continue pursuing this, like 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:08.199 that's the right decision, and I trust you to make 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:10.200 those decisions and I support you no matter what. 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:14.200 It's not like any parents should want their child to 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:18.679 go through heartbreak. But it's just part of life. No, 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:21.800 it's just like you, they have to experience it. Most 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:24.120 likely are they going to experience it at some point. 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:28.000 It's just like it's okay because you're you're going to survive. 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:30.400 One hundred percent. And he actually does say he hopes 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:32.200 that she's engaged at the end of this, Like he 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:35.080 explicitly says, like, I hope she comes home engaged, like 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:38.280 if that's what she wants. If he gets down on one knee, 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:40.920 like he obviously really liked Joey and he felt good 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:45.520 about the whole thing. And then Kelsey in her interview 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:49.000 at the end of the date says that she loves Joey, Yeah, 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:50.040 but not to him. 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:52.280 Yeah, Okay, she. 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:53.079 Seems super happy. 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:56.079 It's it's just a really nice, happy, positive one on one, 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:56.800 great first start. 0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:06.600 Sure, I agree. Okay, So then we go to Rachel's 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:08.199 family and. 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:12.600 Rancho Cucamongo, Yeah, always. 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:20.480 Makes me think of Rodney always California from Hawaii. This one, 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:22.440 I thought we were gonna it was gonna be a 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:25.520 little we were gonna see a little more like pushback 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:30.600 because at the beginning, Rachel's like my family is super traditional. 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:33.839 Yeah, and like my dad's not really for this format, 0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:36.400 and like she went in with a lot of nerves, 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:38.720 and I think her family was more relaxed than she 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:41.040 expected them to be, which kind of happened to me. 0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:44.000 I thought that there was gonna be more pushback from 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:48.120 my family, and they were like more relaxed than I 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:48.640 expect it. 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:51.920 Yeah, yeah, and I think, yeah, I think they were 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:56.080 very emotional family. I think the whole I think Obviously 0:10:57.679 --> 0:10:59.880 we don't know exactly what happened in Rachel's past relation 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:03.040 and ship, but it must have been pretty intense because. 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:05.800 Well she said she they were almost engaged, like it 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:08.160 was a really serious relationship and you could. 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:09.719 Tell like the family just doesn't want to see her 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:14.160 go through that again, which would make them more reserved 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:18.400 over the situation. But yeah, I thought it was Joey 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:20.480 got along with the whole family. I thought they were 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:23.000 having fun. They were hanging out in the backyard. 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:25.760 No, it's so cute. Loved her family, loved her parents 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:28.440 or sister, her nephew. They were all playing backyard games. 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:32.840 They were eating. Was it like a pig on a spot? Yeah, sick. 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:33.640 You loved it. 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:36.480 It looked like honestly, I was like, I want to 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:38.400 be on this hometown date Like this just looks like 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:41.960 a lot of fun and a really enjoyable family to 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:42.440 be a part of. 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:46.400 And like they said, even though they are traditional, they 0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:49.480 were like, this is our daughter. If this is what 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:52.000 she wants, then we're happy for her. 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:54.960 Yeah, the dad doesn't give his blessing. 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:58.040 Yeah, Joey basically was like, got to ask, and he's like, 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:00.480 if it's her at the end, you can give me 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:00.760 a call. 0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:02.520 She's got my number, but I'm not going to give 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:03.080 it to now. 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:06.600 And then the mom, which makes sense totally, he's like, 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:09.520 I'm not going to give you the blessing with like 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:12.480 when you're dating four girls, which is fine. Always, I 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:15.520 feel like we usually see at least one dad say that, 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:19.160 and the mom definitely has some like hesitancy about the 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:22.880 whole thing, but you know, she like loves your daughter, 0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:24.240 and it all ends on. 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:27.559 A good note. Yeah, yeah, and then Rachel's emotional. 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:30.560 Rachel at the end hasn't told Joey how she feels, 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:36.560 and she finally opens up, which, yeah, it's a good thing. 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:37.880 She said she's falling in love with them. 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:38.320 Mm hmm. 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:40.079 What do you think about them? 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:42.719 Do you think they're I like them. I like her 0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:43.839 a lot, a lot. 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:49.120 She's just been like consistent right the whole season. And yeah, 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:50.600 like I think I said at the beginning, like she's 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:54.480 just like screams, I'm a wife, I'm wife material, I'm 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:57.000 like ready for this, And I still feel that way 0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:57.439 about her. 0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:01.760 I just she just for me. She seems she's just 0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:03.000 very smart. 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:06.400 Totally like and just like emotionally she's very mature. 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:10.960 Yeah, but I don't know, I feel like it's hard 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:14.680 to compare because, like Kelsey is so bubbly and giddy, 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:17.120 and I feel like that side of Joey comes out 0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:22.200 when they're together as well. Whereas Rachel still has like 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:25.200 a great personality but has more of like a chill personality. 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:28.120 So it's hard to like compare the connections. 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:30.360 Yeah, and it's also like what we see and what 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:30.800 we don't. 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:32.160 Totally we don't. 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:35.000 But I think he also is really comfortable with her, 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:36.960 and I think from what we've seen, she really like 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:40.840 understands him as a person. Yeah, like some of the 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:42.680 comments she makes and just the way they interact, I 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:46.600 feel like she sees him for who he is, and like, 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:49.600 I think that's a good thing, you know. 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:54.440 Okay, let's jump to the Christmas Tree Farm, the greatest 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:55.240 place on Earth. 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:57.840 It was so cute and magical. 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:00.000 Daisy grew up on a Christmas tree. 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:00.720 I know. 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:04.120 Wow. I mean, if she doesn't make it at the end, 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:08.920 I just I don't know. For me, it's like this 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:12.040 could definitely be the Bachelor at a field of daisies 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:17.280 holding one rose. Oh, I love it. Yeah. Or she's 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:19.040 in a field of daisies that are in a red 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:21.040 dress holding holding her red rose. 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:23.960 Cute. I love it. And there's Christmas trees like way 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:24.720 in the background. 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:26.720 Did should really hire us for. 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:28.040 The for the marketing? 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:33.560 Yeah? For this great Okay, what do we think Daisy's 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:39.320 friends are there? She seems happy to see her her friends. 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:43.400 The most important thing is her family, and she said 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:46.800 she's been through a lot and she really wants like 0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:49.280 she would not move forward with Joey if her family 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:52.160 didn't like him. Yeah she said that multiple times. 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:53.800 Oh yeah, she said it. 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:57.200 Many times, which kind of feels her. 0:14:57.040 --> 0:15:00.440 Family wasn't gonna like him, because I honestly, like everyone's 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:01.200 gonna like Joey. 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:03.320 I don't know about her family not liking him. I 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:05.920 think it's more of like her family's just not comfortable 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:08.960 and they can't get on board, Like it would be 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:12.520 very hard for me too. I just think I don't 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:18.880 know if Daisy it's it's really like Daisy just don't 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:21.840 know how much Daisy's into Joey. And I think that's 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:23.960 if she does say that she's falling in love with 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:27.320 him at the end of this. But I feel like 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:30.520 it's really taken her a long time. 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:34.120 Yeah, And I feel like a lot of people will say, like, oh, well, 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:38.240 like that's real, and like that is because like she's 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:40.320 so like round and down to earth, like it's too 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:43.720 fast to fall in love. But it's like everyone else 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:45.960 does it, you know what I mean, Like people do 0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:47.760 do it, People do fall in love in this amount 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:52.520 of time, in this process, and like if you can't, yes, 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:56.000 it might be like oh well, like that she might 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:58.560 just be like too normal for it all. But it 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:00.600 also might just mean like it's not her person, but 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:03.640 she is getting there. She's just getting there slowly. I 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:04.360 do think they're kid. 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:07.040 Is she getting there because she has the beginning? Like 0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:11.200 is in her? Like it does she feel pressure that 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:14.760 she's this far along and like she wants to get there? 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:19.840 Everyone else is there, she should be there, so maybe 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:20.760 she thinks she is. 0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:24.520 Maybe she might like she's influenced by her surroundings. Yeah, 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:27.000 well I know, like even though you don't know where 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:29.880 everyone else is at necessarily like they're not hanging out 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:32.800 the girls anymore. Like this was the week I sent 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:35.920 myself home, and I remember going into the week pretty 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:38.160 aware that like I was not where everyone else was, 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:40.840 Like I really wasn't, Like I was so like I 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:42.880 would be surprised if she didn't have a kind of 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:45.480 gauge on where all the other women are feeling. And 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:47.840 I just feel like where Rachel is with Joey and 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:52.200 where Kelsey A is with Joey, like it's obvious Daisy 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:54.400 is a step or two behind what they're feeling and 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:55.720 where those relationships are. 0:16:56.800 --> 0:17:00.920 Yeah, well, I mean. 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:02.000 You don't think she's behind. 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:05.800 No, well, I mean I'm I I feel like there's 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:09.960 something missing. But like Rachel also just said, she's the 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:14.040 first time she's saying it too. But for whatever reason, 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:17.080 it just feels like something's missing with Daisy, and I 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:18.080 don't know what that is. 0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:22.479 I think it's because with Rachel, Rachel isn't like second 0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:25.320 guessing where she's at with him. 0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:27.080 She's just like, this is the pace we're moving at. 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:30.520 I feel good, Like there's more of a positive tone 0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:33.199 when she talks about her feelings for Joey. There's not 0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:35.920 really any like concern or hesitation about if she's gonna 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:38.199 get there, and she's pretty like strong about like I 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:39.439 hope it's him and I at the end of this, 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:42.119 Whereas Daisy, it feels like she's always like, this is 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:46.440 where I'm at, but and there's like hesitation in her 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:49.640 tone if she's gonna get there, if she's like moving 0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:51.960 in the right direction, if things are going to go 0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:55.520 towards an engagement with him, like you can feel that 0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:57.560 I feel like with her a little bit. She also 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:00.240 said to her friends, like, I'm really good at about 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:03.520 opening up with my feelings to you guys and my family, 0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:07.719 but like maybe not so much in relationships, which was 0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:11.080 interesting to me because I don't know. 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:12.640 I would just I'd be curious. 0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:15.240 To know more about like her dating history, because I'd 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:16.840 be curious to know if she's been like that in 0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:19.359 the past with relationships where she's just always had that 0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:21.920 issue of like opening up and moving at a certain pace. 0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:25.520 And I'd also be curious to know if her family 0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:27.920 has reacted a certain way to guys she's brought home, 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:30.480 because if like there's been guys in the past she's 0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:32.800 brought home that didn't gel with her family, like that 0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:37.520 could be contributing to this dynamic of her being like, ah, 0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:39.080 I don't know how this is gonna go, Like I 0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:41.560 can't fully commit until I know where my family stands. 0:18:42.040 --> 0:18:44.399 Like there might be some background information in some context 0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:47.879 here that we're missing, but from what we're seeing and 0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:52.280 the information we're given, I don't have one hundred percent 0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:54.240 confidence if she's into him or not, and I don't 0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:55.160 think she does either. 0:18:55.560 --> 0:19:00.919 Yeah, Well, I agree.
