It wasn't like 21 00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 3: he just decided to show up. They wanted some tension 22 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 3: on him. I'm sure that's why they showed him a lot. 23 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 3: It wasn't as if he was there because like there 24 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 3: was something going on with him and Jen. I think 25 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,320 Speaker 3: that if you're gonna ask me from my personal opinion 26 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 3: on what's going on with Jonathan and Jen, I think 27 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 3: that much like with Hannah when she had that chat 28 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 3: with Tyler about maybe being open to going on a 29 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 3: date there after the final Rows, when she had you know, 30 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 3: that crappy ending, it was a nice little oh well, 31 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 3: let's see where this goes, Like if you actually picked 32 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 3: the quote better guy, which you know they're the better guys. 33 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 3: You you know, how we get like this whole other 34 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 3: storyline to play out on social media, in the in 35 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 3: the press, Like it's fun for us as an audience 36 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 3: to see them possibly go with somebody that they didn't 37 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 3: choose on the show, and then it's fun for them 38 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 3: to play it up for the audience. And it's always fun, 39 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 3: you know, to flirt with like a cute person, a 40 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 3: cute person. Right, So, Jonathan and Jen are out there 41 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 3: right now and they're going to a whole bunch of 42 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,519 Speaker 3: events together. I don't know that anything's gonna really, I 43 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,959 Speaker 3: don't really think anything's gonna come of it. But you know, 44 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 3: there's a reason that she dumped him in the first 45 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 3: place have we ever seen. But then again, think about this. 46 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 3: I say that, but look at Ari and Lauren and 47 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 3: Jason and Molly and Me and Jared and then a 48 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 3: whole bunch of people from Paradise. They broke up and 49 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 3: then go back together. So you never know what this franchise. 50 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 3: But if you're asking why Jonathan was in the audience, 51 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 3: he was in the audience to stir up some chatter 52 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,519 Speaker 3: because and the producers invite him to be there. 53 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 2: Good for him. He's living his best life right now. 54 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 3: Yes, he's been a little bit extraund social. He's like 55 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 3: leaning in a little too far, Jonathan, cool it down. 56 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 3: You're just being too obvious about loving the attention right now. 57 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 3: Love the attention, but it would be so obvious about it. 58 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 2: Ashley, do you think jin should consider going on Bachelor 59 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 2: in Paradise. 60 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 3: I'm a little I'm a little torn as a as 61 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 3: a viewer, I'm like, heck, yes, I want to see 62 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 3: her on Paradise, But as somebody who's thinking about like morals, 63 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 3: if I were her, I'd be like, no, you guys 64 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 3: screwed me over, I'm not going to work with you again. Well, 65 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 3: in a way, they screwed her over, but it was 66 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 3: really Devin who screwed her over. Yes, they showed her 67 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 3: engagement and her propose and that was Yaki, But we're 68 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 3: kind of over that now and we're on to the 69 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 3: fact that she just ended up choosing the worst choice 70 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,119 Speaker 3: she could have gone with. Yeah, that's true, and that's 71 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 3: sort of on her, but it's also on them for 72 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 3: casting him. As we've seen, there's plenty that didn't catch. 73 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 2: With Paradise not airing until to twenty five, how can 74 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 2: producers ensure that contestants don't form connections on social media 75 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 2: beforehand like what happened last season? 76 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 3: Well, they cannot, Ben do you agree they cannot because 77 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 3: there's going to be such a gap because it'll have 78 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 3: some of Joey's girls on Paradise and they'll have some 79 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 3: of Grant's girls on Paradise. It's going to be so 80 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 3: hard to say that they haven't mingled, like, of course 81 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 3: they are. They're going to be at the same sort 82 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 3: of events together. They all like to hang out in 83 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 3: groups like, there's going to be plenty of connections formed, 84 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 3: and the show just needs to lean into the fact 85 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 3: that there is almost a show off the show, and 86 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 3: they're going to need to do their best at explaining 87 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 3: the connections that have been made going into paradise. What 88 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 3: do you think? 89 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 2: I have no idea. I was an on Paradise, so 90 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 2: I have no clue how they stop people from talking 91 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 2: or if people do talk. I never did that time 92 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 2: in my life. 93 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:50,679 Speaker 3: Ashley. 94 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 2: If they cast Kelsey Anderson's dad, who's fifty seven, as 95 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 2: the next Golden Bachelor, would that lower the age of 96 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 2: the women's women cast in his season to be in 97 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 2: their face these Would he be more of a silver Bachelor. 98 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 3: I think they're gonna make the cast predominantly in their 99 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 3: sixties just to stay with the theme and to make 100 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 3: sure that there it's actually golden. But I think that 101 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:20,239 Speaker 3: that is kind of the one downside of casting Mark 102 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 3: because they obviously made an exception to their sixty plus 103 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 3: rule by casting him, and then if they cast him 104 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 3: as Golden Bachelor, it's going to bring that question up. 105 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 2: Final question, Ashley, is there anything you're doing differently this 106 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 2: time around with Hayden based on what you've learned with Dawson? 107 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 3: Your final question to me and then I get to 108 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 3: ask you questions. 109 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 2: No, that's final question. 110 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 3: Oh, final question? All right, Well, yes, but they're they're silly, 111 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 3: they're sort of silly things. Number One, when we get 112 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 3: to like eating stages, I'm not gonna let him eat 113 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 3: a lot of the foods that Dawson is just obsessed 114 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 3: with and won't deviate from. Like this kid is going 115 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 3: to start at with vegetables and he may never have 116 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:08,280 Speaker 3: macaroni and cheese until he's like four because I can't 117 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 3: get Dowson to eat a green So I'm just never 118 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 3: gonna like offer Raiden some of the crappy food that 119 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 3: Dawson's obsessed with. And you know, one of the foods 120 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 3: that really gets under the radar are protein bars. Protein 121 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 3: bars are legitimately chocolate bars, and Dawson's so into them 122 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 3: now and I'm just like, no, you cannot have a 123 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 3: chocolate bar in the middle of the day.
