Speaker 1: Hello everyone, and welcome back to Bachelor Happy Hour.
Speaker 2: I'm Rachel and I'm Charity, and today we have Bachelor,
Speaker 2: Bachelor and Paradise and HGTV Bachelor Home Makeover Alum.
Speaker 3: Jill Welcome, Thank you.
Speaker 4: I know that's hearing all of that. I'm like, damn,
Speaker 4: I've been around. No.
Speaker 2: I was like, you got a list.
Speaker 1: Bachelor, two time Bachelor in Paradise and HGTV.
Speaker 3: We will get into.
Speaker 1: All that, but let's start with the Bachelor Mansion takeover.
Speaker 1: How did it feel getting that call and coming back
Speaker 1: to the mansion.
Speaker 4: I was like so excited.
Speaker 5: I mean, when HGTV calls, you answer, you know, like
Speaker 5: you do. Especially you know, I'm an architectural historian. I
Speaker 5: deal with houses all day, so I'm just like, okay, perfect,
Speaker 5: Like finally you guys caught on to what I'm trying
Speaker 5: to do here, So that was really cool. And then
Speaker 5: being back in the mansion, well, it's great. It's such
Speaker 5: a funny place and it does like it kind of
Speaker 5: smells the same, and there's so many memories. So yeah,
Speaker 5: it was really cool being back there in a different capacity.
Speaker 5: But it was not at all what I was expecting
Speaker 5: from an AGEGTV show.
Speaker 2: No, I think we can all like testify of that
Speaker 2: because we watched it and I was like, oh, this
Speaker 2: is very interesting. And I also feel like there was
Speaker 2: a little bit of like drama specifically with how they cast.
Speaker 2: Did you know ahead of time like who all was
Speaker 2: going to be in the house or was that a
Speaker 2: surprise Like when you guys got there that was.
Speaker 4: A total surprise.
Speaker 5: I knew that Sam McKinney was probably going to be there,
Speaker 5: and I was like, Tyler Cameron's got to be there,
Speaker 5: you know, I thought being contestant, but he was a judge.
Speaker 5: So but yeah, No, I had no idea who's going
Speaker 5: to be there. And some of the credentials were like
Speaker 5: really good in something.
Speaker 4: I was like, this is a reach. They were cool.
Speaker 1: You are an architectural historian. You have so much experience
Speaker 1: in this field. Do you feel like everyone there kind
Speaker 1: of underestimated to you coming in?
Speaker 5: Hell? Yeah, like, hey, I understand, I understand like balance
Speaker 5: and proportionally sure.
Speaker 4: I don't know like what this fabric is called, like.
Speaker 5: And I got boot Clay, oh, like, oh, we have
Speaker 5: to have like a secondary collar, and I'm like, dude, like,
Speaker 5: let's just make it look nice, right, I don't know.
Speaker 5: I definitely think they underested me to me, and I
Speaker 5: was definitely a little more shy, a little more quiet,
Speaker 5: which is kind of crazy because that's just not who.
Speaker 4: I am, not at all.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but it was so intimidating because everyone I've never
Speaker 5: been on a competition show, you know, like typically we're
Speaker 5: not out there.
Speaker 4: For money, so it's just a different vibe. And it
Speaker 4: was kind of like Survivor. And I don't.
Speaker 2: Know whose personality surprised you the most, Like obviously, I'm
Speaker 2: assuming you weren't like super close with a lot of
Speaker 2: these people you knew of them, but who.
Speaker 6: Surprised you the most and how they handle them?
Speaker 5: Okay, so it was like, obviously I had you.
Speaker 4: Guys are so bad.
Speaker 7: We're slowly getting into it because.
Speaker 5: I think that obviously I had beef with Alicia and
Speaker 5: that was not not even like pre existing historical beef.
Speaker 5: That was just like on the show because you know,
Speaker 5: people like Ella Sean took her and I was like no, man,
Speaker 5: Like I saw her come in and I was just
Speaker 5: like you and Sean, that makes sense me and Sean.
Speaker 4: What like what am I doing here? So?
Speaker 5: And I was like you know, I shared some cute dms,
Speaker 5: but they're like, oh my god, so happy you were there,
Speaker 5: blah blah, and then yeah, it just did not work out.
Speaker 5: Our personnelity is really different and it was just weird.
Speaker 5: The tension was just so weird. So obviously Alicia Joan
Speaker 5: surprised me too. Joan and I. I was surprised with
Speaker 5: Joan and I ever kind of beefing.
Speaker 8: I have a lot of fun.
Speaker 5: I know, I have a lot of respect for her,
Speaker 5: like as as a golden bachelorette and as a human being.
Speaker 5: But working together in a group, you know, there's some
Speaker 5: people that that you don't want to be partners with.
Speaker 5: And it was one big group project pretty much all
Speaker 5: the time. But Courtney Robertson she was there and.
Speaker 4: I actually, like really vibed with her. I love Courtney.
Speaker 5: I don't know if you guys, I know Rachel has
Speaker 5: listened to my charity. Have you listened to that podcast?
Speaker 5: The almost famous podcast?
Speaker 6: I have not tell me more. What's going on there?
Speaker 4: So so crazy, like frothing at the mouth, like juicy t.
Speaker 8: So Courney, let's let'spill it right now.
Speaker 5: So it's Courtney, Trista and Joan and the idea is
Speaker 5: like that they're gonna and there's like a moderator and
Speaker 5: they're gonna like squash their beef. So it first starts
Speaker 5: off with Joan and Courtney like getting into like the
Speaker 5: nitty gritty like why they're beefing, and then it goes
Speaker 5: into Courtney and Trista and they are like fighting, like
Speaker 5: yelling at each other, like no resolution ends with the
Speaker 5: just like okay, Like the Moderator's kind of like wait,
Speaker 5: no ways.
Speaker 4: Really bad Like I was.
Speaker 2: I was aghast so much because I'm like Trista Trish.
Speaker 3: Which is crazy.
Speaker 1: And also I feel like Joan is our golden Bachelorette.
Speaker 1: Obviously we've always seen her in this incredible light and
Speaker 1: there seems to be a.
Speaker 7: Lot of drama that happened off camera.
Speaker 1: Did you see any drama that was going on between
Speaker 1: Joan and Courtney that wasn't shown or that we did
Speaker 1: see y.
Speaker 4: In that. I was up in that, bitch. I knew
Speaker 4: every fucking detail of that. Yes, of course I did, so. Yeah,
Speaker 4: Like I saw everything that was going on.
Speaker 5: It was like it was a tough environment, like everyone
Speaker 5: has their own ship, right, Like everyone's going through stuff.
Speaker 5: Courtney's going through stuff, you know, Jon's We're all going
Speaker 5: through stuff, and so I.
Speaker 4: Don't really you know their beef is there beef?
Speaker 5: You can listen to that podcast. I was like, oh,
Speaker 5: I will, it's I don't know why.
Speaker 4: This isn't like like like on the news.
Speaker 8: This is crazy. Oh so it was that deep. I'm like,
Speaker 8: I'm I'm at a lost. I'm at a lost too.
Speaker 5: I was.
Speaker 4: I literally listening to it.
Speaker 5: I was like, like, there were some moments I wanted
Speaker 5: to take off my headphones.
Speaker 3: It's insane.
Speaker 1: And I feel like, Jill, because it is obviously amazing
Speaker 1: having you on this podcast because I know all the
Speaker 1: answers and I asked you these questions, but you were
Speaker 1: going through it during the show because of the drama
Speaker 1: and the environment. How was that show compared to Paradise
Speaker 1: or The Bachelor? Because you were more stress than I've
Speaker 1: ever seen you.
Speaker 4: No, I know, it was so bad.
Speaker 5: I think so for Bachelor it was just like, you know,
Speaker 5: first show whatever, I'm just like rolling with the punches.
Speaker 5: It was I kind of expected to be, you know,
Speaker 5: in my role.
Speaker 7: So you know, first of all, No, we were having
Speaker 7: a great time.
Speaker 1: Besides the times where we were throwing up and screaming and.
Speaker 7: Crying, but we had an amazing time.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, that was very convincing.
Speaker 5: She's like, yes, yeah, no, I did have like fun,
Speaker 5: but I knew Clayton and I like from like the jump.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like we're not gonna vibe.
Speaker 5: So it's just like.
Speaker 4: Okay, like I'm your amenities, Like I'm gonna like jump
Speaker 4: in the pool, like I'm gonna go on the dates,
Speaker 4: like let's go.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Bachelor, the first Bachelor Paradise season I did, I was like,
Speaker 5: oh my god, it was really bad. I had We
Speaker 5: had a run, dude, We had a run like it
Speaker 5: was the first time a rough dude.
Speaker 1: The image of Jill running up and down that beach
Speaker 1: screaming live my memory.
Speaker 5: Not even the half of it, like I think, you know,
Speaker 5: like Andrew describes it. They're like they're just watching me,
Speaker 5: like sitting watching me run up and down the beach.
Speaker 5: Like it was really bad because I you know, I
Speaker 5: had be five drama.
Speaker 4: It's fine.
Speaker 5: And then and then they did Split Week and that
Speaker 5: tore me apart over you know, fucking Jacob or Pani,
Speaker 5: God bless him. It will be somewhere good now if
Speaker 5: you get a couch, but damn, like it was just
Speaker 5: I was fighting for my life. I didn't really know
Speaker 5: what to do.
Speaker 4: And then back to.
Speaker 1: It was so and you got roasted on the one
Speaker 1: for that couch comment too.
Speaker 7: Oh you were going through that as well.
Speaker 4: And then well because then I said I said a
Speaker 4: lip driver, like really, I got my heart?
Speaker 8: No, I do remember that. I was like, it wasn't that.
Speaker 1: It was the lift she was going with, the people
Speaker 1: were not happy with her.
Speaker 5: But it went over better than I thought it would
Speaker 5: because I literally had like a tweet drafted like to
Speaker 5: all the ride share drivers, I love you.
Speaker 3: Like I was like, truly we do.
Speaker 4: Yes, what am I going to do? But actually, whenever
Speaker 4: you will, because I think we've all been there, We've.
Speaker 5: All been like this guy, like this is the dude
Speaker 5: I'm fucking in tears over yeah, like you know, God
Speaker 5: bless him. He's you know, got a special place in
Speaker 5: the like like a tiny ventricle of my heart, Like
Speaker 5: that's it.
Speaker 4: And then the most recent Bachelor Paradise was actually so fun.
Speaker 4: I had so much fun. I only cried like a
Speaker 4: couple of times.
Speaker 3: Wait and let's talk about it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I was like okay, completely different format everything.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to.
Speaker 1: Know your thoughts on that you went into paradise because
Speaker 1: you were in a long term relationship that ended, and
Speaker 1: as soon as it ended, I told her, I'm like, Jill,
Speaker 1: you're going to paradise this year.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so you were the one that convinced her.
Speaker 3: I said, you have to go to paradise.
Speaker 1: So single, it's a new it's a new year and
Speaker 1: a clean slate.
Speaker 7: And it was nothing like you expected.
Speaker 4: No, it was nothing like I can spected.
Speaker 5: But also so Rachel, you know, when she got the
Speaker 5: s O S that I had been dumb, she flew
Speaker 5: out and so she was like, Jil, you have.
Speaker 4: To make a statement.
Speaker 5: And I'm like let people know that you're single. And
Speaker 5: I'm like, no, Like why am I? Who do I think?
Speaker 4: I am? Like I'm not making a statement to make.
Speaker 1: A breakup post with the text like please like asking
Speaker 1: for prayers, like I'm not going to tell you any
Speaker 1: like give me.
Speaker 5: The privacy like clickbait as hell. And then I ended
Speaker 5: up just doing like copying Matt Matt James and Rachel
Speaker 5: Corcconddle's break up Father God please, Like Okay.
Speaker 8: I'm I'm actually dead.
Speaker 5: You posted that too, Yeah, so I took a scowshot

Speaker 8: I'm done.
Speaker 7: He god the casting producer's attention, and then until.
Speaker 4: Message was received, and literally.
Speaker 5: Two weeks after, they called me for Bachelor of Paradise

Speaker 1: So I want to talk about your and Susie's arrival day.
Speaker 3: You guys got there.
Speaker 7: It must have been eleven pm at night.
Speaker 3: It was understorming.
Speaker 1: Tell us what that was like, arriving to Paradise in
Speaker 1: those conditions, dude, Wall Like.
Speaker 5: I was just like, well, no, because when you show
Speaker 5: up to Paradise usually like you know, second round, like
Speaker 5: this is, you know, after the first row semony, it's
Speaker 5: like those are like the heavy hitters coach. So I'm
Speaker 5: like I'm puting with the date card, like this will

Speaker 5: People don't really care and it is fricked like when
Speaker 5: I walk in, you can tell. I was like, oh
Speaker 5: my god, it's so quiet. I literally said, oh my god,
Speaker 5: it's so quiet because I'm like and people are looking
Speaker 5: at me like it was a nightmare. And then someone said, oh,
Speaker 5: I thought you were here to host something, not like
Speaker 5: be part of the show.
Speaker 4: And I was like, stop.
Speaker 3: At least that means you're iconic. But when you go
Speaker 3: down you expect who's actually who said that?
Speaker 4: It was Cat?
Speaker 8: It was Cat, but.
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, flattering a guess. But then I looked
Speaker 5: around and I was like, okay, there were literally four
Speaker 5: guys and you know, all booed up, and then Susie
Speaker 5: comes in, God bless her. She comes in with the
Speaker 5: fucking umbrella, and then Justin's there and it was just

Speaker 5: It was, and we only had twenty four hours. The
Speaker 5: next day was a row ceremony.
Speaker 2: I was like, is like ridiculous, Like I would have
Speaker 2: been like, actually, I'm just gonna leave, like there's no
Speaker 2: need for me.
Speaker 4: Oh and then I went back. I went back to
Speaker 4: my room crying that. I was like. And then Susan
Speaker 4: and I were like, yo, you want to go to
Speaker 4: Avisa after like.

Speaker 3: Sh let's talk about it. You had a connection with Jonathan?
Speaker 4: Sure, how did that go?
Speaker 8: Sure?
Speaker 3: From your side?
Speaker 1: From my perspective to this is because I is like
Speaker 1: publicly had this conversation with Jonathan. I want to know
Speaker 1: your point of view from your Paradise connections.
Speaker 5: Okay, Well, like, you know, Jonathan was I would say,
Speaker 5: like a trusted friend.
Speaker 4: I'd never met him, but I knew through you. Rachel.
Speaker 4: I was like, and you, and you're responsible for this too.
Speaker 4: I'm not like you.
Speaker 5: So she was like, Jonathan's a good guy, like you know,
Speaker 5: if you can find Jonathan, like.
Speaker 4: He's a good guy.
Speaker 5: And I was like, orry, fine, So I go up.
Speaker 5: There's nobody, nobody for me to take on a date.
Speaker 5: I was like, well that oh it was like Jeremy

Speaker 5: I was like, you know what, let me just ask Jonathan.
Speaker 5: I was just like, as a friend, do you want
Speaker 5: to go on this friend date with me?
Speaker 4: Whatever?
Speaker 5: Bs And then we actually ended up having like a
Speaker 5: really good time, like we had a good time.
Speaker 4: We were playing fucking twister.
Speaker 5: It was okay, you know why am I doing Twister
Speaker 5: in the hotel?
Speaker 4: I was like, okay, cool, I'm gonna go on a
Speaker 4: date Bachelor of Paradise.
Speaker 5: Where we going, Oh, we're going to the Presidential suite
Speaker 5: to do twister?
Speaker 4: So whatever, he kisses me during Twister. Didn't have to
Speaker 4: kiss me during Twister, by the way, but he did,
Speaker 4: so I was.
Speaker 5: Like, Okay, then we just making a moment and I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 5: right exactly.
Speaker 4: So you know, we were talking. We talked for probably
Speaker 4: like forty five minutes an hour, just like the two
Speaker 4: of us, and it was really nice. We were like
Speaker 4: kind of getting into it.
Speaker 5: And I was like, okay, like this is this could
Speaker 5: be something. So obviously I'm gonna like shoot my shot,
Speaker 5: like I'm gonna try. I want to stick around like
Speaker 5: a whole little so you know, he I don't know,
Speaker 5: I don't know the order of operations, but he basically
Speaker 5: I was like just letting him know him like, hey,
Speaker 5: like I had a good time.
Speaker 4: I fear down, like I'm down, like I'm open. And
Speaker 4: then what did he say, Rachel, what do you say
Speaker 4: to me?
Speaker 6: He was like, uh, something crazy something get crazy to me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I forget what it was.
Speaker 3: Oh you're making my decision hard.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, you're making my decision harder. I said, hmm, oh,
Speaker 5: she said this a chance. And he's with Alex at
Speaker 5: that point, so I'm like, okay, So in the row
Speaker 5: ceremony happens obviously, like Justin tries to to Susie that
Speaker 5: falls through that whole thing and ends up given to me.
Speaker 4: Pity Rose. Fine, I'll take it.
Speaker 7: No, the Hail Mary Rose, and it was iconic.
Speaker 5: It was yeah, so I'm just like, okay, I felt
Speaker 5: so bad for Susie was so bad and Lexi was.
Speaker 4: Just a mess.
Speaker 5: And then afterwards I was like, why I said, don't
Speaker 5: ever play in my face ever again, because he'll tell
Speaker 5: me that there's a chance, like I said that.
Speaker 4: He's like, I was okay, whatever.
Speaker 2: Did this makes screen? Because I support this, don't ever
Speaker 2: play in my face?
Speaker 4: No that that didn't make screen. But then was like
Speaker 4: but then after then the next row ceremony, guess what,
Speaker 4: guess who needs rose? He does? He does.
Speaker 5: And then I'm like, no, I'm gay, I'm gonna get
Speaker 5: Sean because we went on one day and now we're like.
Speaker 4: You know, I'm just like at least something to choose me.
Speaker 5: Yeah right, sel I was just like all right, I
Speaker 5: guess I'll take this girl because she'll give me a rose.
Speaker 5: Like it's it was like that, Yeah, I'm like all right,
Speaker 5: Like it's just that kind of beat and like we knew,
Speaker 5: like I knew.
Speaker 4: He like showed me into his room and it was.
Speaker 5: Like a pharmacy of like, oh, this is my skin
Speaker 5: cur and this is my this and this is Sean Jonathan.
Speaker 4: This is Sean.
Speaker 8: I actually I do love that.
Speaker 1: He's like he's a love smaxer, you know what I'm.
Speaker 4: And like, God bless him.
Speaker 5: But I'm like, all right, like my scene cares like
Speaker 5: Nutrigena wipes it night, Like I don't really know Tate
Speaker 5: McCray could never like so I just it just wasn't
Speaker 5: a vibe like I remember being like, dude, I should
Speaker 5: probably kiss him, like I should probably try and it
Speaker 5: was just.
Speaker 4: Bad as bad.
Speaker 5: And then he was like making out the April in
Speaker 5: front of me, and I was like, Beyond April was
Speaker 5: like stealing my man, like low key like yond.
Speaker 3: It was wild.
Speaker 4: And then once I saw that, I was like I've
Speaker 4: had enough. And then I was like dressed as a
Speaker 4: bird and I'm like, yeah, I'm leaving. I'm getting out
Speaker 4: of here.
Speaker 5: And it was so fun. I was like I'm having
Speaker 5: a really good time, but who is here for me?
Speaker 5: Who can I date?
Speaker 4: Literally nobody?
Speaker 7: So I'm like, yeah, I see A Paradise was hard.
Speaker 4: It was really hard.
Speaker 2: I just feel like it wasn't like crafted like cast
Speaker 2: it well, like it just was all over the place
Speaker 2: in my in terms of like, also who I would
Speaker 2: believe would be compatible. I'm like, yeah, that none of
Speaker 2: this makes sense, and it's actually like, obviously I love
Speaker 2: the couples that are still together from that season, but
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say I'm surprised.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then like you know, Sam and Ali Joe,
Speaker 5: like they're together now they missed each other by a second,
Speaker 5: which is crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I'm curious because you got to experience both
Speaker 1: the old paradise and the new. What about the new
Speaker 1: would you keep and what would you do away with
Speaker 1: if they were to do another season, which they are
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 5: They okay, So I would keep the ac I kind
Speaker 5: of liked like the like the shanty kind of vibes
Speaker 5: of you know, the old place.
Speaker 4: Because you don't hear the waves and whatever. I did.
Speaker 5: I like being breaded in my own sweat and sand
Speaker 5: every night. No, but I thought it was like kind
Speaker 5: of cool. So I would keep that and then keep
Speaker 5: the bedtimes too. We got to go to bed and
Speaker 5: they're like just be out by ten.
Speaker 6: And I was so beautiful.
Speaker 4: I would keep all that, But then.
Speaker 5: I don't know, maybe just like a slightly better beach
Speaker 5: location because we didn't really go. I went to the
Speaker 5: ocean like once, maybe twice.
Speaker 6: So what did you think about like the competition aspect.
Speaker 5: Well, I wasn't even here for the for the competition aspect,
Speaker 5: I wasn't there, but I thought it was kind of
Speaker 5: like I would get I would also do it with
Speaker 5: the money, give her the money, like yeah, I mean
Speaker 5: like do I want the money, yes, But I think
Speaker 5: it just added a weird element where people were just
Speaker 5: like sticking together so they could be a part of
Speaker 5: a couple and then get money.
Speaker 6: I just think it doesn't work for like our franchise.
Speaker 2: I think we know it does that at our core,
Speaker 2: Like all of us, I think we are like, you know,
Speaker 2: we can be very dangerous people when money is involved.
Speaker 8: I think everyone has that in them.
Speaker 2: So it's like I think it brought out the worst,
Speaker 2: like not in a good way, you know.
Speaker 5: And also you know, I do feel like our franchise
Speaker 5: is so obsessed.
Speaker 4: Well I think all reality TV is now obsessed.
Speaker 5: With like the edit, how it's gonna look just like
Speaker 5: who's gonna take the money and leave their.
Speaker 6: You know honestly, hello, right, no one's.
Speaker 5: Going to So I mean I I would say I
Speaker 5: would say give us the money up front?
Speaker 4: How about help that you know daily rate? Right?
Speaker 2: You know who I thought would actually take the money?
Speaker 2: Like she's kind to kill me for saying this, but
Speaker 2: actually probably not. I think Dale would have tooken the
Speaker 2: money and not I could take that.
Speaker 4: Yeah I could.
Speaker 6: Like it's so on brand, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's such a he's an interesting one. It was
Speaker 4: good to meet like all these like other people. But yeah,
Speaker 4: it was it was what it was crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we didn't see you find love on the
Speaker 1: Bachelor franchise unfortunately, But can you give our listeners an
Speaker 1: update on your love life today?
Speaker 8: Now?
Speaker 4: Now? Yes?
Speaker 5: So okay, by the time this airs, I will hard line.
Speaker 5: What do you have plans to do it this week?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, because our the anniversary of our first date was

Speaker 4: bob when I was little. But a good thing happening.
Speaker 4: Oh thank you, you do too, Clariot.
Speaker 5: So this was when we were in Paradise ten and
Speaker 5: it was storming. So like obviously in Costa Rica, every
Speaker 5: night there were freaking storms and so you know, flighting strikes,
Speaker 5: you have to wait thirty minutes before you can pick
Speaker 5: up filming. So we were just like in our rooms
Speaker 5: and they kept a stepper from the boys. They do
Speaker 5: that so to keep a supper from the boys. And
Speaker 5: Bailey had brought the bob, like she had brought some wigs,
Speaker 5: and so we're all trying it on.
Speaker 4: And we were singing, you know that song, Bob Bob,
Speaker 4: Bob Bob.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And then so we were you know, we were all
Speaker 5: dotting the bob and then you know, she went down
Speaker 5: and the boys tried on too, and then I put
Speaker 5: on my big glasses to be like Etna mode.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, it's giving U with the glass,
Speaker 1: but you're still serving.
Speaker 8: Yeah you kind of hot love.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Oh my god, Jill, Yeah, that's accurate.

Speaker 1: You need to describe this because you do this all
Speaker 1: the time and every.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I do this all the time. This is just classic.
Speaker 5: So I'm laying in bed and I have my journal,
Speaker 5: which I only journaled during duress, like so Paradise I have, like,
Speaker 5: you know, Bachelor Paradise, Paradise again and shot be like
Speaker 5: I have these, you know, journals. And then so I
Speaker 5: have a rose on my stomach and I'm laying in

Speaker 5: was a screenshot that was taken from a BTS of me,
Speaker 5: you know, just being like oh my god, like thank

Speaker 5: Anyway there and I was there, and I realized after
Speaker 5: the fact that the girls that I went home were
Speaker 5: not so happy, that were so pissed.
Speaker 1: We hadn't been through what we've been through with Jesse Palmer.
Speaker 1: When he gave you that rose, I said, if it's
Speaker 1: not going to Susie, it's not going to Lexie.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I mean like, and I was worried that
Speaker 4: it was like a plant.
Speaker 5: So I was like, guys, like, I'm really okay, Like
Speaker 5: you can give it to somebody else.
Speaker 4: Like it's fine.
Speaker 5: And then they're like no, like Justin specifically asks that
Speaker 5: you say, and I'm like, oh, okay.
