<v Speaker 1>This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast

0:00:03.840 --> 0:00:04.640
<v Speaker 1>with iHeartRadio.

0:00:05.800 --> 0:00:07.000
<v Speaker 2>It's almost famous podcast.

0:00:07.040 --> 0:00:11.000
<v Speaker 3>We were here breaking down Grant's season of The Bachelor.

0:00:11.280 --> 0:00:13.840
<v Speaker 3>Now we are at hometown's this week. There's so much

0:00:13.840 --> 0:00:15.880
<v Speaker 3>to talk about, Ashley. I'm going to start out the

0:00:15.920 --> 0:00:18.919
<v Speaker 3>podcast with saying this, it is one of the most

0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:22.680
<v Speaker 3>shocking exits of the season. Now, before we get to that,

0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:24.200
<v Speaker 3>let's break down the episode.

0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:29.240
<v Speaker 2>Are you ready? Yes, we have Juliana's date for the

0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:29.800
<v Speaker 2>first date.

0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:34.120
<v Speaker 3>It's in Newton, Massachusetts, East Coast, something you're familiar with.

0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:37.080
<v Speaker 4>I like the vibe, very familiar vibe.

0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:40.720
<v Speaker 5>I like the North End. Well, I guess it was

0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:43.360
<v Speaker 5>the little Italy in her town, but you know Boston's

0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:44.760
<v Speaker 5>North End, and.

0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:49.320
<v Speaker 4>I just don't. I don't know. How do you feel

0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:49.600
<v Speaker 4>about this?

0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:53.040
<v Speaker 5>Because I know Juliana is the frontrunner, but overall I

0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:55.320
<v Speaker 5>love her date, still wanting more. There's only one person

0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:57.280
<v Speaker 5>in this competition that I feel real connection with.

0:00:57.920 --> 0:00:59.080
<v Speaker 2>I loved her date.

0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:01.520
<v Speaker 4>Actually date part was good.

0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:03.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but I put it at number two as the

0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:07.120
<v Speaker 3>hometowns for the week, Yeah, confidently at number two.

0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:08.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:10.280
<v Speaker 2>I loved her family. I loved her dad.

0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:14.160
<v Speaker 3>Now dad, granted, I married into an Italian family, so

0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:17.319
<v Speaker 3>there is a level here where I just watched this

0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:20.600
<v Speaker 3>and felt I did feel like there was missing something,

0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:23.160
<v Speaker 3>because what I love it about Italian family is this,

0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:30.759
<v Speaker 3>they are un apologetically almost rude and not like they're

0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:33.720
<v Speaker 3>loving when you're inside of it. When you're inside of

0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:37.360
<v Speaker 3>that circle, you feel like you have the most love

0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:40.600
<v Speaker 3>in the world. When you're on the outside looking in,

0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:46.960
<v Speaker 3>especially on a first date, they're almost mean to you,

0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:50.160
<v Speaker 3>and that's okay once you understand what they're getting at.

0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:52.320
<v Speaker 3>And I wish they would have been a little meaner

0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:54.200
<v Speaker 3>to Grant, and I don't know why they weren't, because

0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:55.160
<v Speaker 3>I know they wanted.

0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:58.680
<v Speaker 5>To be that teaser that they had last week where

0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:01.200
<v Speaker 5>that you caught the dad's saying you're kissing.

0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:03.560
<v Speaker 4>My daughter in front of me or whatever did.

0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:06.920
<v Speaker 5>Seem so scary in the previews and such like a

0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:09.640
<v Speaker 5>jokester moment in real life, which was cute.

0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:11.639
<v Speaker 4>I like that moment. It was my Probably my favorite

0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:12.560
<v Speaker 4>moment was the day.

0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:16.440
<v Speaker 5>That and when the dad said I love him, I

0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:17.920
<v Speaker 5>love the guy like that.

0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:21.320
<v Speaker 4>Was really must have made Juliana feel really good.

0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:22.120
<v Speaker 2>It had to him.

0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:26.359
<v Speaker 3>I just I've been around Italians like one hundred percent Italians.

0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:31.639
<v Speaker 3>So when I first met Jess's family, her aunts, they

0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:34.400
<v Speaker 3>sat me at a table and they sat across from me,

0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:36.920
<v Speaker 3>and I was on one side of the table and

0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:40.919
<v Speaker 3>they drilled me and they said, we like you Ben enough,

0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:45.720
<v Speaker 3>but if you hurt Jess, we will hurt you. That

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:48.239
<v Speaker 3>was how they opened my very first time ever meeting them.

0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:50.120
<v Speaker 3>And I remember leaving that being like, I don't know

0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:51.720
<v Speaker 3>what they meant, and I had to get it explain

0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:53.240
<v Speaker 3>to me because I've never been around.

0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:54.560
<v Speaker 4>That the mob was going after you.

0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:56.440
<v Speaker 2>I think they could have called upon him.

0:02:57.240 --> 0:03:00.720
<v Speaker 5>Okay, Can I just say that Jess doesn't strike me

0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:02.880
<v Speaker 5>as like uber Italian in any way.

0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:05.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, She's like this sweet southern bell to me.

0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:09.280
<v Speaker 5>She does not register Italian, big Italian Northeast.

0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:12.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, she doesn't feel comfortable in those, but she lets

0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:14.040
<v Speaker 3>her ants do what they want to do, right so

0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:17.840
<v Speaker 3>they she knows that they have an element to them

0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:21.000
<v Speaker 3>that she doesn't have, and I think she trusts it.

0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:23.760
<v Speaker 3>And I think when somebody like me walks in where

0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:25.440
<v Speaker 3>Jess is like I think I'm gonna marry this guy,

0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:27.720
<v Speaker 3>She's like he needs to be able to handle this.

0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:29.560
<v Speaker 3>I have a shirt upstairs when I left and they

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:31.720
<v Speaker 3>gave me So here's how it kind of comes together,

0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:35.200
<v Speaker 3>is I left that and they said welcome to the

0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:37.400
<v Speaker 3>Italian family as they give me a T shirt that

0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:39.600
<v Speaker 3>had that on there. And I still have said this day,

0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:44.960
<v Speaker 3>but I missed in this hometown, and I don't know

0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:48.880
<v Speaker 3>what I mean. I don't understand exactly why didn't exist,

0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:52.560
<v Speaker 3>how they weren't harder on Grant, because the Italians don't

0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:55.800
<v Speaker 3>just let things go like this. The dad doesn't naturally

0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:58.200
<v Speaker 3>just say I love the guy. That's not a thing,

0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:00.480
<v Speaker 3>it's not well.

0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:03.040
<v Speaker 5>He did say, like I'm really concerned that you have

0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:05.600
<v Speaker 5>through other girls here, and like I'm worried that you're

0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:08.840
<v Speaker 5>gonna break her heart, which is you know, classic needs

0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:11.400
<v Speaker 5>to say on a hometown. Yeah, you're right, It wasn't

0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:14.720
<v Speaker 5>very intense. I was completely overwhelmed by the amount of

0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:18.159
<v Speaker 5>people though, at this date and at let's SEEA's date,

0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:22.880
<v Speaker 5>particularly this date, like when Juliana was rambling off how

0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:24.599
<v Speaker 5>many people were going to be there. I would have

0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:28.760
<v Speaker 5>been so intimidated if I were Grant, because I would

0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:31.720
<v Speaker 5>like want to feel like I was having quality time

0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:35.040
<v Speaker 5>with the immediate family that needs to know me the most.

0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:37.039
<v Speaker 5>And in this case, like I don't really think he

0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:39.120
<v Speaker 5>was gonna get like any really quality time or even

0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:39.840
<v Speaker 5>its just gonna be like.

0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:42.719
<v Speaker 2>Hellos, see can I mean this isn't about me?

0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:48.160
<v Speaker 5>You would have felt more environment because well you were

0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:51.400
<v Speaker 5>the bachelor, because so maybe in this bachelor scenario, this

0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:53.919
<v Speaker 5>would actually make you feel more comfortable because you don't

0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:55.599
<v Speaker 5>have to have the spotlight on YouTube.

0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:56.240
<v Speaker 2>Nuch, you don't.

0:04:56.440 --> 0:05:00.200
<v Speaker 3>I mean cayleb Quinn's day I remember was incredible. Remember

0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:02.760
<v Speaker 3>where the hotel I stayed in, where we went, who

0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:05.080
<v Speaker 3>are family was, Her family was awesome. But there was

0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:07.800
<v Speaker 3>only a small group of us together all day and

0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:10.800
<v Speaker 3>it was a lot of pressure because you are spending

0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:14.840
<v Speaker 3>all day with the same people and you're in an

0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:17.159
<v Speaker 3>environment where you can't you can be yourself, but you

0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:20.760
<v Speaker 3>have to protect your you know, the conversations that are existing.

0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:23.080
<v Speaker 3>I think when there's a lot of people, you can

0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:25.760
<v Speaker 3>kind of let loose and let everybody else entertain themselves.

0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:28.760
<v Speaker 3>It's like a party compared to a one on one.

0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:31.400
<v Speaker 3>It's a group be compared to a one on one, okay,

0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:33.839
<v Speaker 3>And so I think when it comes to the bachelor

0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:39.119
<v Speaker 3>world specifically, the more people the easier on the lead,

0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:42.320
<v Speaker 3>and I think in this environment, Grant I don't know

0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:44.840
<v Speaker 3>if Grant was at that point. I can't speak for him,

0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:50.240
<v Speaker 3>but it is easier to to not just be speaking

0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:51.160
<v Speaker 3>to the mom and dad all.

0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:52.520
<v Speaker 4>Day, okay.

0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:54.920
<v Speaker 5>And I want to say that I did like the

0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:58.200
<v Speaker 5>activity portion of this date where they went to make

0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:02.000
<v Speaker 5>pizza and the guy truly eemed like authentic to knowing

0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:05.960
<v Speaker 5>Juliana's and knowing the family, and then they went to

0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:08.039
<v Speaker 5>the pastry shop, like it felt like something that we

0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:11.720
<v Speaker 5>would do, like at my grandparents' house in Northern Jersey.

0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.040
<v Speaker 4>It felt very familiar and authentic.

0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:16.359
<v Speaker 3>I am going to say something that will probably be

0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:20.840
<v Speaker 3>controversial to the listener, and it could be controversial to

0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:26.240
<v Speaker 3>anybody as the bachelor, there was an element at these

0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:30.560
<v Speaker 3>hometowns where you I specifically, I don't want to say

0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:34.200
<v Speaker 3>that everybody did this, but I specifically paid attention to

0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:38.760
<v Speaker 3>how people responded to the like the contestant that I

0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:43.040
<v Speaker 3>was visiting. So how would the pizza shop maker respond,

0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:46.440
<v Speaker 3>Where would they bring me in their hometown and who

0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:48.440
<v Speaker 3>would know them there? And I think that a little

0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:50.320
<v Speaker 3>bit of that is because I'm from a small town,

0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:53.400
<v Speaker 3>so there's no place I go in WORSEU Indiana where

0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:56.880
<v Speaker 3>I don't know somebody working at the place that I

0:06:56.920 --> 0:07:01.360
<v Speaker 3>would bring a date, right, And I'm hoping that person

0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:04.960
<v Speaker 3>either like gives me a hard time or they celebrate

0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:07.039
<v Speaker 3>me or whatever. But at least they know me and

0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:10.200
<v Speaker 3>they like feel comfortable with me, because what it said

0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:13.640
<v Speaker 3>to me was they've invested into their community and to

0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:15.040
<v Speaker 3>where they're from.

0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:17.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, why why would this annoy anyone?

0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:24.800
<v Speaker 3>Because I think everybody else within this episode didn't have that.

0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:29.080
<v Speaker 3>She's the only one. Oh, yes, it was like everybody

0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:31.880
<v Speaker 3>else felt very distant from the date that they were presenting.

0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:36.800
<v Speaker 5>Yes, I thought this was the weirdest Hometown's episode because

0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:39.640
<v Speaker 5>it felt like we were at nobody's hometown except for Joe's.

0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:41.920
<v Speaker 3>That was why it would be controversial to listener, because

0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:46.200
<v Speaker 3>I know there's elements that came into play to cause

0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:48.520
<v Speaker 3>that to be the case, and those elements I don't think,

0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:52.160
<v Speaker 3>and rightfully so, we don't understand any of them, Like

0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:55.960
<v Speaker 3>we don't know the stories behind like why Zoe's like

0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.800
<v Speaker 3>hometown was the way it was. We know bits and pieces,

0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:01.080
<v Speaker 3>we just don't know the story. And that's fine. I'm

0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:04.200
<v Speaker 3>not mad about that. That's that's her prerogative, that's her

0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:05.080
<v Speaker 3>personal life.

0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:05.920
<v Speaker 2>That's cool.

0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:08.960
<v Speaker 3>But it felt like this was the only real hometown

0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:12.160
<v Speaker 3>that we got, yes to the point where it was like,

0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:14.440
<v Speaker 3>oh my gosh, pore Grant. He had to go all

0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:16.840
<v Speaker 3>over the country and like he didn't really end up

0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:19.600
<v Speaker 3>having a hometown date with any of these girls except

0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:22.440
<v Speaker 3>for Juliana. He ended up just meeting the family or

0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:24.360
<v Speaker 3>you know, meeting the closest people to them.

0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:26.480
<v Speaker 4>They could have flown as well. They wouldn't have flown

0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:28.360
<v Speaker 4>those people out. They would have obviously fen were in there.

0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:30.760
<v Speaker 5>But you know what I mean, Like the location didn't

0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:32.000
<v Speaker 5>seem to play at all.

0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:35.440
<v Speaker 3>There were locations never made since me now freaking Wyoming.

0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:37.680
<v Speaker 3>My family's had a ranch in Wyoming for my whole life.

0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:39.480
<v Speaker 3>You want to know how many airports there are to

0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:43.800
<v Speaker 3>fly into in Wyoming? Not many, Like there's not He

0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:45.679
<v Speaker 3>had to take a dry I don't know where he

0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:47.520
<v Speaker 3>was coming from. He might have fallen into the Denver

0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:52.360
<v Speaker 3>for that day and drove six hours. Maybe he got

0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:53.319
<v Speaker 3>some private planes.

0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:53.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:58.000
<v Speaker 3>But anyways, my I guess the controversial statement I was

0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:01.079
<v Speaker 3>trying to make is this out of all of them,

0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:04.240
<v Speaker 3>felt like the only hometown that actually existed. All those

0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:06.600
<v Speaker 3>others could have existed anywhere in the country.

0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:09.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I agree with you. I'm not going to heat

0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:09.600
<v Speaker 4>or anything.

0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:12.600
<v Speaker 5>I can tell you that, Like in my hometown, I

0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:15.520
<v Speaker 5>could walk into like the deli and they're not.

0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:16.320
<v Speaker 4>Going to know my name.

0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:18.640
<v Speaker 5>It doesn't mean that I'm not like, I don't feel

0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:21.480
<v Speaker 5>like I'm from there. It's just different towns call for,

0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:23.120
<v Speaker 5>you know, different relationships.

0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:25.120
<v Speaker 2>But you were made for a smaller town, all right.

0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:28.760
<v Speaker 3>So Juliana's day comes off and it's like, hey, she

0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:31.600
<v Speaker 3>should be here next week. No questions to me. Now,

0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:35.280
<v Speaker 3>was it the best hometown? Did it feel like everything

0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:37.480
<v Speaker 3>happened how we thought it would know? But it was

0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:41.280
<v Speaker 3>a great hometown. And I left that date feeling like,

0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:44.120
<v Speaker 3>she's going to be here next week no matter what.

0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:46.080
<v Speaker 3>So let's see who's not going to be here.

0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:48.520
<v Speaker 4>She's going to be in the finale.

0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:51.160
<v Speaker 5>I just feel like there's a huge discrepancy in this

0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:55.160
<v Speaker 5>episode between the two in the finale presumably and the

0:09:55.200 --> 0:10:00.560
<v Speaker 5>two that are not. And I just I still feel

0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:03.440
<v Speaker 5>like I know that they were saying basically like I

0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:04.440
<v Speaker 5>am falling in love with you I.

0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:08.760
<v Speaker 4>Don't feel a huge connection between the two of them.

0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:15.160
<v Speaker 3>Uh, it's I mean, if we're comparing based on this season, Ashley,

0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:17.000
<v Speaker 3>it's it's up.

0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:18.640
<v Speaker 2>There in terms of connections.

0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:21.720
<v Speaker 5>Well, yeah, I know, I'm realizing that that is the

0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:25.320
<v Speaker 5>problem to this season. I really don't feel a lot

0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:27.880
<v Speaker 5>of intense depth.

0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:31.400
<v Speaker 3>I have a theory and I'll share at the end. Okay,

0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:34.000
<v Speaker 3>I know who's going to be there in the final two.

0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:39.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I feel like anybody watching knows. Okay, okay, okay, fair.

0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:42.520
<v Speaker 3>Then let's take what we have is the preview, and

0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:46.800
<v Speaker 3>obviously we know that Grant is so conflicted at the end.

0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:48.920
<v Speaker 3>So if you and I are sitting here saying we

0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:51.800
<v Speaker 3>know who the final two are going to be, then obviously,

0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:53.920
<v Speaker 3>at the very end of this the final two that

0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:55.920
<v Speaker 3>we believe is going to be there, and Mark gonna say, man,

0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:58.640
<v Speaker 3>it will say it's the very end of this episode

0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:01.680
<v Speaker 3>he is so confus that he's falling in love with

0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:02.280
<v Speaker 3>both of them.

0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:04.080
<v Speaker 4>No, I'm very confused by this.

0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:06.760
<v Speaker 3>Okay, we'll talk about it later. Let's move on to

0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:10.840
<v Speaker 3>Zoe's hometown. Zoe was in both of our final fours.

0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:13.000
<v Speaker 3>We've had belief in her since the very beginning. She's

0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:17.280
<v Speaker 3>the only reason we can claim that our really baseless,

0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:21.400
<v Speaker 3>assumption based show that happens at the beginning of every

0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:25.640
<v Speaker 3>season has any merit because we both said Zoe will

0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:26.560
<v Speaker 3>be there in the final four.

0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:33.600
<v Speaker 2>We're right day, we're experts, we're right now. Zoe.

0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:38.800
<v Speaker 3>To me and Grant, they I'm shocked that she is

0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:42.360
<v Speaker 3>still here after this episode. It feels like they missed

0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:49.120
<v Speaker 3>the mark on every level when it comes to communication, intimacy, physicality, community,

0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:53.520
<v Speaker 3>Like it feels like they have no relationship to me.

0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:55.480
<v Speaker 4>Absolut freaking lutely bad.

0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:56.280
<v Speaker 2>Am I wrong?

0:11:56.679 --> 0:12:08.880
<v Speaker 4>That's exactly how I feel, Ashley.

0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:11.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad that you feel this way with me, because

0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:13.280
<v Speaker 2>I watch this again.

0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:14.520
<v Speaker 4>You watched it twice.

0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:16.800
<v Speaker 3>No, I've watched the whole No, I say, I'm watching

0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:19.760
<v Speaker 3>the whole season, and I watched this episode because there's

0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:23.480
<v Speaker 3>been this like character arc of Zoe that's untraditional to

0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:26.120
<v Speaker 3>any other story that ever exists in the world. Right

0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:29.079
<v Speaker 3>we have She's controversial, we feel like she's gonna be

0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:31.600
<v Speaker 3>a villain, and then she's lovable, and then she has

0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:34.520
<v Speaker 3>this connection with Grant and now she's like so we're

0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:36.760
<v Speaker 3>coming into this episode with this connection with Grant, and

0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:38.960
<v Speaker 3>we're loving on Zoe and we're like, we're so happy

0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:42.480
<v Speaker 3>she's here. So I'm waiting for that kind of pinnacle

0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:45.760
<v Speaker 3>moment for us to go of course, she's still here,

0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:49.520
<v Speaker 3>Like there's no question she should still be here. And

0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:52.040
<v Speaker 3>I watch this episode and I know her scenario is

0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:55.600
<v Speaker 3>different because of her, like what's going on with her

0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:58.120
<v Speaker 3>and her family right now and so many things we

0:12:58.160 --> 0:12:59.920
<v Speaker 3>don't know, but yet we're kind of reading through the

0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:02.040
<v Speaker 3>lines when we're knowing that there's some type of family

0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:05.800
<v Speaker 3>issue where her adopted family isn't gonna be there, and

0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:09.120
<v Speaker 3>that's great, that's fine, we understand that. So we're like, Okay,

0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:12.840
<v Speaker 3>we're gonna still focus on Grant and Zoe. And I

0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:16.400
<v Speaker 3>watched this Ashley and I watched this whole day, and

0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:18.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, they don't have anything.

0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:22.199
<v Speaker 4>No, there's nothing there. And the fact that she chose

0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:22.920
<v Speaker 4>to do.

0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:27.920
<v Speaker 5>The whole like model shoot with the bride stuff we

0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:31.760
<v Speaker 5>had like a wedding shoot, Oh my gosh, and for

0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:35.280
<v Speaker 5>her to be so little chemistry during that was just like,

0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:37.640
<v Speaker 5>this is so awkward. And I bet you it was

0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:40.600
<v Speaker 5>even more awkward in real life because we know how

0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:44.040
<v Speaker 5>the show can take like a fine moment and make

0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:45.920
<v Speaker 5>it look really romantic.

0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:46.719
<v Speaker 2>Put some music behind it.

0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:50.239
<v Speaker 4>They couldn't even make this look natural.

0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:54.520
<v Speaker 3>It was tough well and even some of the words

0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:56.640
<v Speaker 3>she was saying to her sister, She said, what I

0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:58.360
<v Speaker 3>love about Grant is he like, you know, I'm a

0:13:58.400 --> 0:13:59.360
<v Speaker 3>hard working woman.

0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Great.

0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:05.760
<v Speaker 3>I celebrate that you are a strong, hard working woman. Okay,

0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:09.400
<v Speaker 3>that's the baseline. She says. He likes the creative side

0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:11.360
<v Speaker 3>of me, and I think he likes the model side

0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:13.360
<v Speaker 3>of me. He'll take it all like why are they

0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:16.319
<v Speaker 3>two different things? You're one human? Like why do those

0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:17.319
<v Speaker 3>have to be separated?

0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:18.200
<v Speaker 5>Zoe?

0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:19.800
<v Speaker 2>Like, you were.

0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:22.800
<v Speaker 3>Both and that is beautiful and that is incredible and

0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:25.080
<v Speaker 3>that is such a spectacular thing for you to have,

0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:28.080
<v Speaker 3>is to be beautiful and creative and to be all

0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:31.480
<v Speaker 3>these things at once. But it's like, when you say that,

0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:33.480
<v Speaker 3>it makes me think that you're asking this dude to

0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:37.000
<v Speaker 3>love two different people, and I think you're two different people.

0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:39.320
<v Speaker 5>I didn't pick up on that, but I did pick

0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:41.880
<v Speaker 5>up on her sister being like, so, like, how do

0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:42.720
<v Speaker 5>you feel about him?

0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:44.520
<v Speaker 4>You know, like are you falling in love with him?

0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:47.240
<v Speaker 5>And she was like, I like him yeah, something along

0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:50.240
<v Speaker 5>those lines, and I'm like, okay, like, why is going on?

0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:52.880
<v Speaker 4>Just because you're both too hot people doesn't make this work.

0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:53.960
<v Speaker 2>It's not.

0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:56.040
<v Speaker 3>It feels like two hot people trying to make it work.

0:14:57.040 --> 0:14:59.120
<v Speaker 3>I'm shocked she didn't go home. When I said the beginning,

0:14:59.200 --> 0:14:59.920
<v Speaker 3>this is the most shocked.

0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:03.680
<v Speaker 5>Really this, I was like, what is he talking about?

0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:06.360
<v Speaker 2>She didn't go home. I thought for sure she would go.

0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:10.360
<v Speaker 5>Home, really, even after seeing Dinas Because after seeing Dina's

0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:14.360
<v Speaker 5>I was like, uh, they're tied. If not, Dina's was.

0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:16.680
<v Speaker 2>Worse okay, because there was.

0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:21.600
<v Speaker 5>Zero chemistry there too, and you could tell that he

0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:23.520
<v Speaker 5>was just like I have to like talk to your

0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:26.520
<v Speaker 5>friends and even pretend like this is like something that

0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:30.640
<v Speaker 5>might go anywhere. He was super thrown off at the

0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:34.560
<v Speaker 5>family not being around, which I can get. Again, it's

0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:37.200
<v Speaker 5>kind of like, why did you send me here to

0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:39.560
<v Speaker 5>just go to a pumpkin patch with your friends?

0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:41.360
<v Speaker 4>Please come to la I don't know.

0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:43.280
<v Speaker 2>But let's let's talk.

0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:48.840
<v Speaker 5>About Latia's date first. Yeah, it's Wyoming, which again we

0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:50.840
<v Speaker 5>get a brief and synopsis.

0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:57.280
<v Speaker 3>Let's be clear though, it's amazing place, so windy, so beautiful,

0:15:57.600 --> 0:15:57.960
<v Speaker 3>and what with.

0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:02.640
<v Speaker 5>Becca Tilley once to the tea pause ts yees yea

0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:03.600
<v Speaker 5>different part.

0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:05.480
<v Speaker 2>Of the state, but yes, very beautiful place.

0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:10.240
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, so they like like to meet here at We

0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:12.800
<v Speaker 5>don't know if it's this cabin or if they rented out.

0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:14.320
<v Speaker 4>This felt like it could have been like a rented

0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:14.880
<v Speaker 4>out cabin.

0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:18.760
<v Speaker 5>It was so extraordinary and if not, then it's like, okay,

0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:19.840
<v Speaker 5>so what's your family.

0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:22.760
<v Speaker 4>Do you have this random, huge ass mansion?

0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:25.800
<v Speaker 3>And you know, because she's talking about her grandma a

0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:28.560
<v Speaker 3>lot who her grandma couldn't be there obviously.

0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:30.240
<v Speaker 4>Well, her grandma has passed.

0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:34.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so that's what I'm saying, I'm putting it.

0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:37.720
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Well that's what they kept saying, is you couldn't

0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:38.320
<v Speaker 3>be there.

0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:39.360
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:45.800
<v Speaker 2>For clearing that up, okay's gracious.

0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:49.720
<v Speaker 5>So maybe the grandpa, you know, he's like he looks

0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:50.840
<v Speaker 5>like a oil.

0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:51.480
<v Speaker 2>It's oil.

0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:53.720
<v Speaker 4>I was gonna say oil, but I was like, am

0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:54.840
<v Speaker 4>I being weird for this.

0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:57.320
<v Speaker 2>Oil Ashley?

0:16:57.480 --> 0:16:58.000
<v Speaker 4>Okay?

0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:01.720
<v Speaker 5>I was like, this feels like what was the show

0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:06.880
<v Speaker 5>with with Larry Hagman Dallas Dallas to Move.

0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:07.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:10.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, No, Like at some point this let's assume for

0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:14.439
<v Speaker 3>the sake of this conversation that this is their family ranch,

0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:18.280
<v Speaker 3>like this is their this is their fandy second home

0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:20.280
<v Speaker 3>where they can go visit and have fun at and

0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:25.320
<v Speaker 3>ride horses. Okay, a beautiful place, absolutely gorgeous. I love

0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:27.560
<v Speaker 3>seeing because I love Wyoming, I do. I think it's

0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:30.000
<v Speaker 3>one of the coolest places on earth. That's unlike that

0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:33.600
<v Speaker 3>nobody lives at And how do.

0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:34.040
<v Speaker 2>I see this?

0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:38.560
<v Speaker 3>Is it just mired the like did she shine this episode?

0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:41.320
<v Speaker 3>Like she just looked like she was glowing off the screen.

0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:44.520
<v Speaker 5>Okay, let me tell you this. I think she's gotten

0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:46.359
<v Speaker 5>prettier with each episode. The more you get to know

0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:47.720
<v Speaker 5>our personality.

0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:48.760
<v Speaker 2>Is that it is that what I'm feeling.

0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:52.879
<v Speaker 5>Okayah, I feel like I'm getting You know how when

0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:54.760
<v Speaker 5>you're attracted to someone and you get to know them,

0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:57.800
<v Speaker 5>their personality rocks. Yeah, they get more attractive to you.

0:17:58.160 --> 0:18:01.800
<v Speaker 5>This even applies to like front chips. You're like, you see,

0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:05.360
<v Speaker 5>somebody's soul obviously is beautiful. They come across as more

0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:08.560
<v Speaker 5>attractable on the outside. And that to her. That's happening

0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:09.200
<v Speaker 5>to me with her.

0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:14.040
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I felt it this episode. I've always thought she

0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:16.800
<v Speaker 3>was a front runner, at least since we started watching

0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:19.439
<v Speaker 3>the show, But this episode, I was like there's no question,

0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:23.040
<v Speaker 3>Like there's something about her this episode that is jumping

0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:25.560
<v Speaker 3>off the screen at me where it's like there's no

0:18:25.720 --> 0:18:26.840
<v Speaker 3>like he has to.

0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:27.840
<v Speaker 2>Fall in love with this girl.

0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:33.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, it's it's an incredible.

0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:34.960
<v Speaker 2>Dynamic between the two of them.

0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:39.480
<v Speaker 3>There is still the element of faith, and so that's

0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:41.119
<v Speaker 3>the big storyline going into this.

0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:42.360
<v Speaker 2>And he makes one.

0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:48.560
<v Speaker 3>Of the most obscure statements at the beginning of this

0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:50.200
<v Speaker 3>date that I've ever heard.

0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:53.399
<v Speaker 5>Okay, he said that he was scared, and that she

0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:56.680
<v Speaker 5>said he said, I'm not scared, and then it was

0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:58.199
<v Speaker 5>like blah blah, blah blah, and then at the end

0:18:58.240 --> 0:18:58.640
<v Speaker 5>he was like.

0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:02.040
<v Speaker 4>Well I'm scared. It was like the biggest one.

0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:09.840
<v Speaker 3>He says this statement, I'm still someone who sometimes likes

0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:10.920
<v Speaker 3>to have a drink and.

0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:13.440
<v Speaker 4>Have oh so fun, have fun. Oh my god.

0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:17.840
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, dude, wait time out, buddy. I

0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:20.440
<v Speaker 3>think you've been great Grant. I think you would be

0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:22.080
<v Speaker 3>a dude that'd be great to hang out with. I

0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:25.120
<v Speaker 3>feel for you. I want you to find love so bad.

0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:29.399
<v Speaker 3>Let's say that the fact that you at any level

0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:36.000
<v Speaker 3>are questioning if people of Mormon's faith don't like to

0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:40.000
<v Speaker 3>have fun, if that is a question to you. Somebody

0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:43.359
<v Speaker 3>needs to like shake you right now and say, hey,

0:19:43.760 --> 0:19:46.720
<v Speaker 3>Mormons can still have fun too, buddy, Like they still

0:19:46.720 --> 0:19:50.200
<v Speaker 3>have a good time. Like you aren't giving you aren't

0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:54.040
<v Speaker 3>giving this thing up, Like the fun factor doesn't change

0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:55.720
<v Speaker 3>if you marry into this family.

0:19:56.359 --> 0:19:59.440
<v Speaker 5>That is so funny that that rang in your ear

0:19:59.600 --> 0:20:02.840
<v Speaker 5>because that was something that like I chewed over for

0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:06.600
<v Speaker 5>a second as well. Yeah, I'm like, okay, So this

0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:10.359
<v Speaker 5>is just him kind of indirectly.

0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:14.040
<v Speaker 2>Saying I have no clue what's going on in this face. No, no, no, no.

0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:18.959
<v Speaker 5>To me, it's like being having fun means like doing

0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:22.560
<v Speaker 5>like sinful things like getting drunk and hooking up.

0:20:23.000 --> 0:20:26.400
<v Speaker 3>Oh so he's going to old school like evangelical route

0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:29.439
<v Speaker 3>where he's like sex, drugs, and alcohol are gonna be

0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:33.360
<v Speaker 3>talked about every youth group in the same like funnel

0:20:33.680 --> 0:20:35.680
<v Speaker 3>and those three things are gonna be associated together for

0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:38.160
<v Speaker 3>the rest of your life. So if you are gonna

0:20:38.160 --> 0:20:40.800
<v Speaker 3>do anything like sex, drugs, and alcohol, if you're gonna

0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:43.639
<v Speaker 3>think about anybody inappropriately, if you're gonna drink any alcohol,

0:20:43.640 --> 0:20:47.240
<v Speaker 3>if you're gonna do any drugs, then like that's what

0:20:47.400 --> 0:20:47.879
<v Speaker 3>fun is.

0:20:48.640 --> 0:20:52.480
<v Speaker 4>But is he wrong in the sense of the Mormon faith,

0:20:52.560 --> 0:20:54.280
<v Speaker 4>like that stuff doesn't go on.

0:20:54.480 --> 0:20:59.359
<v Speaker 5>Really, he's wrong. They don't drink at all, right, not traditionally. No,

0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:02.920
<v Speaker 5>But I also don't think that drinking and fun are equated.

0:21:03.000 --> 0:21:05.960
<v Speaker 5>Like I'm trying to have plenty of fun without drinking.

0:21:06.080 --> 0:21:07.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's what I'm trying to say.

0:21:07.200 --> 0:21:09.240
<v Speaker 4>It's like sad to equate them.

0:21:09.320 --> 0:21:12.480
<v Speaker 3>Yes, like not that you be shunned. And I think

0:21:12.640 --> 0:21:15.400
<v Speaker 3>her family and we'll get to this did an incredible

0:21:15.480 --> 0:21:18.639
<v Speaker 3>job at reassuring him that if he enters into the

0:21:18.680 --> 0:21:23.320
<v Speaker 3>family without sharing the same faith tradition, he's still widely

0:21:23.359 --> 0:21:25.840
<v Speaker 3>accepted and there's arms that are going to be thrown

0:21:25.880 --> 0:21:30.120
<v Speaker 3>around him in love. So let's like preface it with that.

0:21:30.840 --> 0:21:35.080
<v Speaker 3>But the fact that his mind goes to, wait, I

0:21:35.160 --> 0:21:39.320
<v Speaker 3>still like to do these things at times, and that's

0:21:39.320 --> 0:21:42.080
<v Speaker 3>what fun to me is, I think is the bigger

0:21:42.160 --> 0:21:42.840
<v Speaker 3>question here.

0:21:43.000 --> 0:21:46.280
<v Speaker 4>Okay, okay, yeah, I see that.

0:21:46.520 --> 0:21:47.919
<v Speaker 2>I and I also just wish.

0:21:48.040 --> 0:21:49.920
<v Speaker 3>I think the only thing I think of this day

0:21:50.640 --> 0:21:54.280
<v Speaker 3>and the only criticism criticism I have of Grant within

0:21:54.320 --> 0:21:56.120
<v Speaker 3>this day, and it could have still happened this show

0:21:56.160 --> 0:21:59.280
<v Speaker 3>didn't maybe show it is I want him if this

0:21:59.359 --> 0:22:02.479
<v Speaker 3>is a really like a concern of his if this

0:22:02.560 --> 0:22:04.639
<v Speaker 3>is his, like, I want him to ask more questions

0:22:04.640 --> 0:22:06.240
<v Speaker 3>about it, Like I want him to sit with the

0:22:06.280 --> 0:22:08.040
<v Speaker 3>dad and be like, can you tell me more about

0:22:08.080 --> 0:22:11.280
<v Speaker 3>like what it is that you guys practice, What would

0:22:11.320 --> 0:22:14.040
<v Speaker 3>be important to you as I stepped into a relationship

0:22:14.080 --> 0:22:16.600
<v Speaker 3>with your daughter on behaviors that I have and don't have.

0:22:17.440 --> 0:22:18.359
<v Speaker 2>I think he would get.

0:22:18.320 --> 0:22:23.720
<v Speaker 3>Some clarity and probably get some peace of mind on

0:22:24.200 --> 0:22:27.960
<v Speaker 3>that he can still live his life in a way

0:22:28.000 --> 0:22:30.200
<v Speaker 3>that he finds fun.

0:22:31.560 --> 0:22:35.840
<v Speaker 2>Without you know, sacrificing the acceptance of the family.

0:22:37.200 --> 0:22:39.679
<v Speaker 3>But that was a wild statement, and maybe it's just

0:22:39.720 --> 0:22:44.160
<v Speaker 3>because like faith and religious practice is such an intrigue

0:22:44.160 --> 0:22:48.199
<v Speaker 3>of mine. Is when he started by saying, you know,

0:22:48.240 --> 0:22:51.040
<v Speaker 3>I have my concerns whatever, whatever, I still have some drinks.

0:22:51.160 --> 0:22:52.679
<v Speaker 2>I still like to have a drink, and I like

0:22:52.720 --> 0:22:53.399
<v Speaker 2>to have fun.

0:22:54.119 --> 0:22:57.200
<v Speaker 3>And immediately the drink thing didn't affect me as much

0:22:57.200 --> 0:22:59.400
<v Speaker 3>as the fun thing. And I'm like, you think Mormons

0:22:59.400 --> 0:23:02.320
<v Speaker 3>don't have fun, Like, look at this family. Look at

0:23:02.320 --> 0:23:04.480
<v Speaker 3>this freaking family. They love each other.

0:23:04.720 --> 0:23:07.119
<v Speaker 4>When somebody says to me like, oh, I like to

0:23:07.160 --> 0:23:09.240
<v Speaker 4>have a good time or I like to have fun,

0:23:09.280 --> 0:23:11.840
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, Okay, who doesn't.

0:23:12.600 --> 0:23:15.520
<v Speaker 5>That's my It's always been the way that I find

0:23:15.560 --> 0:23:20.240
<v Speaker 5>people coded say I like to party, like I like

0:23:20.280 --> 0:23:23.720
<v Speaker 5>to drink a lot and get a little rowdy, unless

0:23:23.760 --> 0:23:24.000
<v Speaker 5>you're my.

0:23:24.000 --> 0:23:27.080
<v Speaker 3>Wife, who never drinks, and her idea if I said, like,

0:23:27.119 --> 0:23:30.000
<v Speaker 3>what do you think is fun, she would say, like

0:23:30.400 --> 0:23:33.720
<v Speaker 3>going for a four mile run, coming home and.

0:23:33.640 --> 0:23:36.840
<v Speaker 2>Watching a movie with my husband. Literally, that would be same.

0:23:37.000 --> 0:23:39.760
<v Speaker 5>That's my fun, except for the run part, more of

0:23:39.960 --> 0:23:42.280
<v Speaker 5>like eat on the TV with my husbands.

0:23:42.400 --> 0:23:48.040
<v Speaker 4>But I think it's most people's coded way of saying like,

0:23:48.119 --> 0:23:48.959
<v Speaker 4>I like to party.

0:23:49.040 --> 0:23:51.960
<v Speaker 5>But anyway, I think it's interesting that you and I

0:23:52.200 --> 0:23:55.399
<v Speaker 5>both held on to that line so much, and I

0:23:55.480 --> 0:23:58.720
<v Speaker 5>wonder if they intended for that to cross people's minds

0:24:00.080 --> 0:24:02.800
<v Speaker 5>or whether it's just like a throwaway concerned that he

0:24:02.880 --> 0:24:04.159
<v Speaker 5>was just going to air out and like it's no

0:24:04.240 --> 0:24:07.600
<v Speaker 5>big deal. I personally think that it was put in

0:24:07.640 --> 0:24:09.160
<v Speaker 5>there for a reason.

0:24:09.000 --> 0:24:09.800
<v Speaker 4>Because.

0:24:11.400 --> 0:24:15.639
<v Speaker 5>My gut is telling me that this is going to

0:24:15.680 --> 0:24:18.280
<v Speaker 5>be a bigger deal for him in the long run,

0:24:18.800 --> 0:24:22.480
<v Speaker 5>and when it comes down to making his final decision,

0:24:24.080 --> 0:24:25.840
<v Speaker 5>this is a huge factor in it. He's like, which

0:24:25.880 --> 0:24:28.719
<v Speaker 5>lifestyle can I jive with more? Even though I may

0:24:28.760 --> 0:24:30.199
<v Speaker 5>feel it more with that girl. I don't know if

0:24:30.240 --> 0:24:32.320
<v Speaker 5>I could do this lifestyle. That's my guess.

0:24:32.640 --> 0:24:34.600
<v Speaker 3>There's a few things that they come to mind here,

0:24:34.680 --> 0:24:37.680
<v Speaker 3>and I do think this is worth spending some time on, Yeah,

0:24:37.720 --> 0:24:39.560
<v Speaker 3>because I think she's going to be a front runner.

0:24:41.680 --> 0:24:44.320
<v Speaker 3>He said some things. Then this is why I wish

0:24:44.359 --> 0:24:46.840
<v Speaker 3>Grant would ask more questions in the midst of this

0:24:46.920 --> 0:24:50.439
<v Speaker 3>kind of conversation, because I think he's an intelligent dude.

0:24:50.680 --> 0:24:53.439
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what he feels comfortable asking and not

0:24:53.560 --> 0:24:57.400
<v Speaker 3>asking within this environment, and anybody I know that's Mormon

0:24:58.040 --> 0:25:02.080
<v Speaker 3>would not mind having any questions asked. So I'm hoping

0:25:02.119 --> 0:25:04.840
<v Speaker 3>at some point they kind of tell him you can

0:25:04.880 --> 0:25:08.679
<v Speaker 3>ask anything you want about us, like every stereotype that

0:25:08.680 --> 0:25:12.560
<v Speaker 3>you've heard from us, every confusing topic that you've tried

0:25:12.560 --> 0:25:14.520
<v Speaker 3>to understand from us, Like, you can ask it and

0:25:14.600 --> 0:25:17.720
<v Speaker 3>we'll answer it confidently because this is what we've decided

0:25:17.720 --> 0:25:20.760
<v Speaker 3>to do. I'm hoping he gets that confidence to ask

0:25:20.800 --> 0:25:23.720
<v Speaker 3>the questions that are necessary, because he says a few

0:25:23.760 --> 0:25:27.560
<v Speaker 3>things that feel immature when it comes to.

0:25:29.000 --> 0:25:30.080
<v Speaker 2>Religious studies.

0:25:30.480 --> 0:25:32.840
<v Speaker 3>One is he says, hey, but we still have like

0:25:32.880 --> 0:25:36.600
<v Speaker 3>the base faith the same thing, right, Yeah, that's cool,

0:25:36.760 --> 0:25:37.639
<v Speaker 3>Like so we're good.

0:25:38.000 --> 0:25:39.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, that's true, Like.

0:25:39.760 --> 0:25:43.240
<v Speaker 3>That isn't wrong, but like that's not the whole scenario, right,

0:25:43.440 --> 0:25:45.960
<v Speaker 3>you have to ask more questions to understand what exactly

0:25:46.640 --> 0:25:49.040
<v Speaker 3>that base faith looks like, because I want to know

0:25:49.080 --> 0:25:51.560
<v Speaker 3>Grant from you, what is your base faith?

0:25:52.040 --> 0:25:53.000
<v Speaker 2>So that's a big deal.

0:25:53.480 --> 0:25:58.160
<v Speaker 5>His feels more like very general on the surface, and

0:25:58.440 --> 0:26:01.320
<v Speaker 5>for her it couldn't be more Or is it bad

0:26:01.320 --> 0:26:02.280
<v Speaker 5>to say the word niche?

0:26:03.560 --> 0:26:06.919
<v Speaker 3>It's I think niche. I think niche. Well, no, I

0:26:06.960 --> 0:26:11.920
<v Speaker 3>think niche and concentrated. There is a face system, So

0:26:12.560 --> 0:26:14.760
<v Speaker 3>I think what you're saying is like there is a

0:26:14.840 --> 0:26:19.479
<v Speaker 3>system in place that her family follows that is very

0:26:19.520 --> 0:26:21.800
<v Speaker 3>specific in particular to.

0:26:21.880 --> 0:26:23.600
<v Speaker 2>Why they believe what they believe.

0:26:24.400 --> 0:26:27.679
<v Speaker 3>I don't think they're not going to be accepting of Grant,

0:26:27.720 --> 0:26:30.640
<v Speaker 3>And I think he should have heard that during this

0:26:30.680 --> 0:26:32.960
<v Speaker 3>whole family date, and I think that was very important

0:26:32.960 --> 0:26:36.200
<v Speaker 3>for him to hear, is that, Hey, you can come

0:26:36.200 --> 0:26:38.640
<v Speaker 3>into this thing man, like we're not asking you to convert.

0:26:38.760 --> 0:26:41.000
<v Speaker 3>We're not asking to do anything more than love our

0:26:41.160 --> 0:26:44.760
<v Speaker 3>daughter and help start this family that we so believe

0:26:44.800 --> 0:26:56.080
<v Speaker 3>in and love. That's the baseline here.

0:26:58.560 --> 0:27:00.919
<v Speaker 5>Can we just say how in interesting it would have

0:27:00.960 --> 0:27:04.119
<v Speaker 5>been if he would have said, am I expected to

0:27:04.240 --> 0:27:06.040
<v Speaker 5>convert if we're going to get married?

0:27:06.280 --> 0:27:07.800
<v Speaker 2>I think it's really great question.

0:27:07.960 --> 0:27:11.959
<v Speaker 3>I know, an amazing question for him asked is what

0:27:12.000 --> 0:27:16.199
<v Speaker 3>are the expectations of me as a partner? Because the

0:27:16.280 --> 0:27:20.520
<v Speaker 3>worst case scenario would be that he is surprised by

0:27:20.560 --> 0:27:24.679
<v Speaker 3>this at some point in his life. He's just not

0:27:24.760 --> 0:27:26.880
<v Speaker 3>asking the questions. And I do think it probably comes

0:27:26.880 --> 0:27:28.560
<v Speaker 3>from a place of concern. Is what can I ask

0:27:28.640 --> 0:27:29.160
<v Speaker 3>and not ask?

0:27:29.680 --> 0:27:30.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:27:30.520 --> 0:27:33.879
<v Speaker 3>And I think that's very fair. Like Faith has a

0:27:33.920 --> 0:27:38.120
<v Speaker 3>lot of like you're fearful of. He kind of see

0:27:38.119 --> 0:27:39.639
<v Speaker 3>it when the whole family comes up and he's like,

0:27:39.640 --> 0:27:41.080
<v Speaker 3>all right, who.

0:27:40.960 --> 0:27:45.240
<v Speaker 2>All here is related?

0:27:44.480 --> 0:27:51.680
<v Speaker 5>He was definitely like is there possibly like multiple wives?

0:27:52.080 --> 0:27:55.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, He's like wanting to ask the questions.

0:27:54.440 --> 0:27:56.400
<v Speaker 4>Do I have to have five kids?

0:27:56.840 --> 0:27:59.160
<v Speaker 3>Like he should have just asked them to the father

0:27:59.200 --> 0:28:02.040
<v Speaker 3>because the father was such a welcoming place and it

0:28:02.080 --> 0:28:05.120
<v Speaker 3>felt like in that situation, anything that was on his mind,

0:28:05.160 --> 0:28:08.960
<v Speaker 3>he could have asked, like, hey, I like got myself

0:28:09.000 --> 0:28:11.159
<v Speaker 3>stuck there at the beginning when everybody come out to

0:28:11.200 --> 0:28:14.879
<v Speaker 3>me and been like, who's all related here? That fine question,

0:28:15.080 --> 0:28:18.040
<v Speaker 3>great question, But at some point he has to dig

0:28:18.080 --> 0:28:21.240
<v Speaker 3>into it. At some point, he has to ask the

0:28:21.320 --> 0:28:25.600
<v Speaker 3>questions that so many would probably be wondering outside of

0:28:25.640 --> 0:28:28.160
<v Speaker 3>the faith, is is everybody.

0:28:27.720 --> 0:28:29.160
<v Speaker 2>Here married to each other? Oh?

0:28:29.280 --> 0:28:32.359
<v Speaker 3>No, that's not the case. Okay, cool, Like why have

0:28:32.440 --> 0:28:34.520
<v Speaker 3>I heard that my whole life? And then somebody could

0:28:34.520 --> 0:28:37.520
<v Speaker 3>explain it to him. Yeah, well, you know, like why

0:28:37.640 --> 0:28:41.160
<v Speaker 3>is his family so big? Like that's the fun part

0:28:41.240 --> 0:28:43.440
<v Speaker 3>also though, and I don't want to take this for granted,

0:28:44.040 --> 0:28:46.000
<v Speaker 3>it's the fun part of like falling in love with

0:28:46.040 --> 0:28:49.680
<v Speaker 3>somebody is you get to be be curious about their life.

0:28:50.040 --> 0:28:52.840
<v Speaker 2>Listen, so maybe he'll ask it what he's more comfortable.

0:28:52.480 --> 0:28:55.760
<v Speaker 5>We are also not maybe giving him the benefit of

0:28:55.840 --> 0:28:59.760
<v Speaker 5>the doubt. Perhaps he asked this, he certainly was contemplating

0:28:59.760 --> 0:29:02.480
<v Speaker 5>it and maybe felt like it wasn't even appropriate to

0:29:02.480 --> 0:29:06.120
<v Speaker 5>talk about on TV mm hm, you know that's fair

0:29:06.680 --> 0:29:09.160
<v Speaker 5>or maybe not on the first meeting, which I agree,

0:29:09.200 --> 0:29:11.280
<v Speaker 5>like on the first meeting of a family you would

0:29:11.320 --> 0:29:12.680
<v Speaker 5>never talk about things like that.

0:29:12.800 --> 0:29:14.400
<v Speaker 4>This is just like a bachelor exception.

0:29:15.320 --> 0:29:18.000
<v Speaker 3>And let's also give Grant some credit where I think

0:29:18.040 --> 0:29:19.640
<v Speaker 3>we've see in the next day, which we'll move on

0:29:19.680 --> 0:29:20.400
<v Speaker 3>to now.

0:29:20.480 --> 0:29:23.000
<v Speaker 4>Except for can we talk about the grandpa moment.

0:29:23.080 --> 0:29:23.960
<v Speaker 2>I love the grandpa.

0:29:24.240 --> 0:29:27.360
<v Speaker 4>The grandpa was so which we established he's an oil typhoon.

0:29:28.160 --> 0:29:29.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we've we know about him.

0:29:29.920 --> 0:29:32.120
<v Speaker 4>He's so wealthy, he's so sweet.

0:29:32.800 --> 0:29:35.080
<v Speaker 5>The way that she told him the secret of like

0:29:35.120 --> 0:29:36.880
<v Speaker 5>that she was following for him and then he didn't

0:29:36.920 --> 0:29:39.200
<v Speaker 5>hear it, and then she just whispered it again.

0:29:39.240 --> 0:29:41.280
<v Speaker 4>It was just like the realist, cutest moment.

0:29:41.800 --> 0:29:43.680
<v Speaker 3>Well, and it's the grandpa I want to be because

0:29:43.720 --> 0:29:47.280
<v Speaker 3>his response to her wasn't oh my gosh, I'm so

0:29:47.320 --> 0:29:48.800
<v Speaker 3>excited for you. He's like, I hope it's going to

0:29:48.840 --> 0:29:51.720
<v Speaker 3>work out, and like there was a wisdom in every

0:29:51.760 --> 0:29:54.120
<v Speaker 3>word he said to her, I wish your grandma could

0:29:54.160 --> 0:29:57.840
<v Speaker 3>be here. I haven't seen you be this way with

0:29:57.960 --> 0:30:00.840
<v Speaker 3>anybody else. There is these words that he was saying

0:30:00.960 --> 0:30:03.640
<v Speaker 3>that came from deep thought and a man that has

0:30:03.760 --> 0:30:09.120
<v Speaker 3>practiced thinking before he speaks, and you could tell that

0:30:09.200 --> 0:30:14.160
<v Speaker 3>in the midst of that, she felt very comfortable talking

0:30:14.200 --> 0:30:14.880
<v Speaker 3>to him about that.

0:30:16.360 --> 0:30:20.040
<v Speaker 5>And how sweet was it when she said, like, you know,

0:30:20.120 --> 0:30:23.840
<v Speaker 5>he's different than my dad was, the dad that passed

0:30:23.840 --> 0:30:26.240
<v Speaker 5>away when she was three months old, just absolutely tragic,

0:30:27.360 --> 0:30:30.560
<v Speaker 5>and he goes, yes, your father was so easy to love?

0:30:30.680 --> 0:30:33.880
<v Speaker 4>So is to love? Oh?

0:30:33.960 --> 0:30:36.800
<v Speaker 3>Okay, final thought on this date, and this is where

0:30:37.520 --> 0:30:47.080
<v Speaker 3>my lack of religious knowledge comes in. The mom is

0:30:47.080 --> 0:30:51.480
<v Speaker 3>in having a conversation. They talk about fantasy sweets, and

0:30:51.560 --> 0:30:54.360
<v Speaker 3>she they talk about fantasy sweets, she says, if he's

0:30:55.000 --> 0:30:58.680
<v Speaker 3>you know, intimate with anybody else, it would upset me,

0:30:58.760 --> 0:31:00.120
<v Speaker 3>which I think we see is going to be a.

0:31:00.160 --> 0:31:01.880
<v Speaker 2>Storyline for the next episode for sure.

0:31:03.960 --> 0:31:06.040
<v Speaker 3>I felt like the mom handled this in a way

0:31:06.080 --> 0:31:09.800
<v Speaker 3>that I did not expect by saying, have you actually

0:31:10.480 --> 0:31:13.880
<v Speaker 3>thought through this? Are you willing to Like I don't

0:31:13.920 --> 0:31:16.120
<v Speaker 3>know what her words were exactly, but it's like, pretty much,

0:31:16.120 --> 0:31:17.920
<v Speaker 3>are you willing to give him the benefit of the

0:31:18.000 --> 0:31:20.600
<v Speaker 3>doubt and open your mind to whatever happens in the

0:31:20.600 --> 0:31:24.360
<v Speaker 3>fantasy suites because this is such a unique week now.

0:31:24.480 --> 0:31:27.800
<v Speaker 3>That is that to me was a very interesting statement

0:31:28.640 --> 0:31:32.080
<v Speaker 3>coming from a storyline where faith has been such a

0:31:32.080 --> 0:31:35.440
<v Speaker 3>focus for the last two weeks, because it.

0:31:35.480 --> 0:31:42.120
<v Speaker 5>Sounds like the mom would not necessarily encourage her to

0:31:42.200 --> 0:31:45.120
<v Speaker 5>shut off if he's intimate with anybody else, exactly like

0:31:45.280 --> 0:31:49.120
<v Speaker 5>if he was to be the mom wouldn't hold that

0:31:49.240 --> 0:31:50.280
<v Speaker 5>against him necessarily.

0:31:50.320 --> 0:31:51.680
<v Speaker 2>That's what I took from it.

0:31:52.000 --> 0:31:53.920
<v Speaker 3>That's what I took from it, and I thought that

0:31:54.080 --> 0:31:57.680
<v Speaker 3>was one and a healthy perspective from a parent. We

0:31:57.680 --> 0:31:59.960
<v Speaker 3>don't hear that very often. So I was like, Mom,

0:32:00.240 --> 0:32:02.719
<v Speaker 3>kudos to you. This is such a weird week, Like

0:32:02.840 --> 0:32:06.040
<v Speaker 3>what an amazing like mindset you're giving your daughter. Not

0:32:06.080 --> 0:32:08.240
<v Speaker 3>that he should be, I'm just saying that you're leaving

0:32:08.280 --> 0:32:11.920
<v Speaker 3>her open to make decisions based on whatever happens this

0:32:12.080 --> 0:32:15.200
<v Speaker 3>next week. But two, then I had to check it

0:32:15.240 --> 0:32:18.280
<v Speaker 3>against the storyline that's been happening for the last two weeks,

0:32:18.320 --> 0:32:24.640
<v Speaker 3>which is my family is are very very very faithful conservative,

0:32:25.680 --> 0:32:32.400
<v Speaker 3>like foundationally like like practicing their faith. And I thought

0:32:32.800 --> 0:32:35.920
<v Speaker 3>that was an incredible like mom moment where she sat

0:32:35.960 --> 0:32:39.040
<v Speaker 3>with her daughter more as a friend, as like adult

0:32:39.120 --> 0:32:43.000
<v Speaker 3>daughter to friend mom, and just poured wisdom into her

0:32:43.120 --> 0:32:46.600
<v Speaker 3>instead of like momming her which I think is so

0:32:46.720 --> 0:32:50.160
<v Speaker 3>common during these days and pressuring her to think one way.

0:32:50.240 --> 0:32:52.640
<v Speaker 3>I thought her mom in that like, I wanted to

0:32:52.680 --> 0:32:55.600
<v Speaker 3>lift her up and be like you, you've not only

0:32:55.640 --> 0:32:59.960
<v Speaker 3>implemented this thought to your daughter's head to stay like open,

0:33:00.280 --> 0:33:03.160
<v Speaker 3>but also you continue to pour under her where her

0:33:03.240 --> 0:33:04.560
<v Speaker 3>values and traditions lie.

0:33:05.000 --> 0:33:08.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, an incredible parenting moment that we can all learn from.

0:33:08.200 --> 0:33:12.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I agree, totally agree, Bravo, perfect words, Ben.

0:33:12.640 --> 0:33:13.440
<v Speaker 2>There we go, all right.

0:33:13.560 --> 0:33:17.000
<v Speaker 3>Final hometown of this week was one that fell completely

0:33:17.040 --> 0:33:21.480
<v Speaker 3>short and obviously left with somebody going home. Didn't expect

0:33:21.520 --> 0:33:24.280
<v Speaker 3>her to go home this week, especially after the Zoe date.

0:33:24.400 --> 0:33:27.719
<v Speaker 3>As I said, Zoe is very very much now at

0:33:27.720 --> 0:33:30.920
<v Speaker 3>this point in Category three. To me, I think there's

0:33:30.960 --> 0:33:33.040
<v Speaker 3>no question that when it comes to the finale episode,

0:33:33.080 --> 0:33:35.840
<v Speaker 3>we're going to know who the File two are. If

0:33:35.840 --> 0:33:38.960
<v Speaker 3>it's not, I'll be shocked. But this date is still

0:33:39.080 --> 0:33:41.360
<v Speaker 3>something to talk about because that happened this week.

0:33:42.240 --> 0:33:47.720
<v Speaker 2>The family is not for this bachelor situation. Ashley.

0:33:47.800 --> 0:33:50.280
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to make a personal statement on this. Yeah,

0:33:50.320 --> 0:33:53.640
<v Speaker 3>that again will probably ruffle feathers.

0:33:54.240 --> 0:33:55.880
<v Speaker 2>I think I.

0:33:55.800 --> 0:34:01.880
<v Speaker 3>Think there's nothing about I think there's nothing good about parenting.

0:34:02.440 --> 0:34:06.240
<v Speaker 3>When your child chooses to do something and they've entered

0:34:06.280 --> 0:34:08.600
<v Speaker 3>into it to where you say I'm not going to

0:34:08.680 --> 0:34:11.600
<v Speaker 3>support it. I think there's only one way that goes,

0:34:11.760 --> 0:34:14.640
<v Speaker 3>and that is the child feeling like they're unsupported, which

0:34:14.719 --> 0:34:17.920
<v Speaker 3>is how she felt this episode. Yeah, no matter if

0:34:17.920 --> 0:34:19.360
<v Speaker 3>you like it or not, even if Grant has to

0:34:19.360 --> 0:34:20.839
<v Speaker 3>show up to your house. And you're like, I don't

0:34:20.880 --> 0:34:22.560
<v Speaker 3>like the fact that you're dating all these other women.

0:34:22.920 --> 0:34:24.560
<v Speaker 3>I don't like the fact that my daughter won on

0:34:24.719 --> 0:34:27.160
<v Speaker 3>the show. I don't like the fact that she's even

0:34:27.200 --> 0:34:30.960
<v Speaker 3>here with you. I think that's a better scenario, yeah,

0:34:31.000 --> 0:34:33.560
<v Speaker 3>than what existed during this episode totally.

0:34:33.600 --> 0:34:37.040
<v Speaker 5>You can sense that, even though she's very confident in

0:34:37.040 --> 0:34:39.240
<v Speaker 5>her delivery all the time, like this made her feel

0:34:39.280 --> 0:34:40.960
<v Speaker 5>like a little bit embarrassed and then it's just going

0:34:41.080 --> 0:34:42.280
<v Speaker 5>to brush off really quickly.

0:34:42.600 --> 0:34:45.799
<v Speaker 4>I would have at least wished that some of the

0:34:45.920 --> 0:34:48.640
<v Speaker 4>siblings she has eleven siblings, and you're telling me that

0:34:48.760 --> 0:34:52.400
<v Speaker 4>eleven of them were like, no, we're gonna side with

0:34:52.440 --> 0:34:54.200
<v Speaker 4>mom and dad on this. That makes me.

0:34:54.239 --> 0:34:56.880
<v Speaker 5>Sad, That makes you do makes me feel like she

0:34:57.160 --> 0:34:59.439
<v Speaker 5>is like alone in this, and it makes me really

0:34:59.480 --> 0:35:02.000
<v Speaker 5>wonder her decision to go on the show.

0:35:02.560 --> 0:35:04.680
<v Speaker 4>She had to have known that her family was so

0:35:04.800 --> 0:35:05.440
<v Speaker 4>against it.

0:35:06.160 --> 0:35:08.319
<v Speaker 3>Well that's the big question, right, So at some point

0:35:08.360 --> 0:35:11.560
<v Speaker 3>this conversation had to have existed between them, and she

0:35:11.840 --> 0:35:15.080
<v Speaker 3>chose to still go on the show even without anybody's support.

0:35:15.400 --> 0:35:18.120
<v Speaker 2>That's one red flag. I would say.

0:35:18.360 --> 0:35:21.640
<v Speaker 3>The second red flag is that, yeah, eleven siblings and

0:35:22.080 --> 0:35:24.319
<v Speaker 3>like nobody else wanted to show up to support her.

0:35:24.640 --> 0:35:29.399
<v Speaker 2>I think that's not a good move. I'm confused by

0:35:29.520 --> 0:35:31.399
<v Speaker 2>this whole situation.

0:35:31.760 --> 0:35:33.879
<v Speaker 3>And it felt like it was confusing to her too,

0:35:34.239 --> 0:35:40.200
<v Speaker 3>And it did bring insecurity into her, especially when all

0:35:40.200 --> 0:35:42.080
<v Speaker 3>the other women are talking about their dates and she's

0:35:42.080 --> 0:35:44.760
<v Speaker 3>in there being like, I'm the only one. They didn't

0:35:44.800 --> 0:35:47.360
<v Speaker 3>have anybody. I had my friends and I went to

0:35:47.400 --> 0:35:49.759
<v Speaker 3>a pumpkin patch. Yeah, and I tried to make the

0:35:49.800 --> 0:35:51.759
<v Speaker 3>best of a really bad situation.

0:35:52.360 --> 0:35:57.000
<v Speaker 5>Dina, if you're listening this, I mean this to make

0:35:57.000 --> 0:36:01.200
<v Speaker 5>you feel better. You were going to get eliminated either way.

0:36:01.960 --> 0:36:03.560
<v Speaker 2>I think she sees that now, No, you're right, do

0:36:03.600 --> 0:36:04.239
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean?

0:36:04.480 --> 0:36:06.680
<v Speaker 5>Like if your family did show up, Like, I still

0:36:06.719 --> 0:36:09.879
<v Speaker 5>think you were going to get eliminated, and maybe you've

0:36:09.920 --> 0:36:11.680
<v Speaker 5>been a toss up between you and Zoe, but like

0:36:12.000 --> 0:36:13.399
<v Speaker 5>you were making the top two.

0:36:14.840 --> 0:36:16.560
<v Speaker 4>What made me feel really awkward about this?

0:36:16.600 --> 0:36:19.399
<v Speaker 5>And I know this is maybe tomb but like it's

0:36:19.440 --> 0:36:21.920
<v Speaker 5>a hometown episode, right, so you kind of think that

0:36:21.960 --> 0:36:24.120
<v Speaker 5>you're gonna do what you would do in your hometown,

0:36:24.200 --> 0:36:26.480
<v Speaker 5>show in places that mean something to you. The fact

0:36:26.560 --> 0:36:28.400
<v Speaker 5>that they went to the pumpkin patch on top of

0:36:28.400 --> 0:36:31.319
<v Speaker 5>her family not being involved made me feel really even

0:36:31.480 --> 0:36:35.120
<v Speaker 5>further disconnected to this being a hometown because they went

0:36:35.160 --> 0:36:37.600
<v Speaker 5>to something seasonal that she didn't even make it seem

0:36:37.719 --> 0:36:40.200
<v Speaker 5>like there was any connection to it, especially since it

0:36:40.239 --> 0:36:42.880
<v Speaker 5>said it was a jack o lantern pop up, so

0:36:42.920 --> 0:36:44.359
<v Speaker 5>it's not even there all the time.

0:36:44.400 --> 0:36:46.479
<v Speaker 4>This is not even like a tradition of hers during

0:36:46.480 --> 0:36:46.839
<v Speaker 4>the fall.

0:36:47.239 --> 0:36:51.279
<v Speaker 3>Well you heard it, it happened late. I'm guessing the

0:36:51.360 --> 0:36:54.800
<v Speaker 3>show like on the way they heard that the family

0:36:54.840 --> 0:36:56.520
<v Speaker 3>actually wasn't going to do this, and they're like.

0:36:56.480 --> 0:36:57.239
<v Speaker 2>What do we do now?

0:36:57.680 --> 0:37:00.319
<v Speaker 3>Okay, who has five hundred pumpkins that week? And by

0:37:00.480 --> 0:37:03.799
<v Speaker 3>put up a sign invite the friends, let's figure something out.

0:37:03.920 --> 0:37:04.239
<v Speaker 4>I know.

0:37:06.840 --> 0:37:08.120
<v Speaker 2>It did feel disconnecting.

0:37:08.360 --> 0:37:10.719
<v Speaker 3>I think with your word's there actually like if she

0:37:10.840 --> 0:37:13.560
<v Speaker 3>heard this, it's not not true, and I think she

0:37:13.640 --> 0:37:17.120
<v Speaker 3>sees it now, right, So, yeah, she wasn't going to

0:37:17.160 --> 0:37:20.160
<v Speaker 3>win this thing. It's good that she went home this week.

0:37:20.520 --> 0:37:23.800
<v Speaker 3>There's no issues with her now. He loved the idea

0:37:23.840 --> 0:37:26.279
<v Speaker 3>of Dina. He was like, I love her passion and

0:37:26.320 --> 0:37:27.560
<v Speaker 3>her like drive.

0:37:27.719 --> 0:37:32.880
<v Speaker 5>It's like very attractive, but like he didn't feel romance

0:37:33.040 --> 0:37:33.520
<v Speaker 5>toward her.

0:37:33.640 --> 0:37:36.680
<v Speaker 3>No, But it was a weird date. It was a

0:37:36.760 --> 0:37:41.280
<v Speaker 3>date that felt unnecessary. She could have said, Hey, Grant,

0:37:41.320 --> 0:37:43.600
<v Speaker 3>how about this, I'll fly to you. How about you

0:37:43.640 --> 0:37:46.200
<v Speaker 3>and I have a day together, and I'll introduce you

0:37:46.280 --> 0:37:48.160
<v Speaker 3>to five of my closest friends in the city that

0:37:48.200 --> 0:37:51.040
<v Speaker 3>we're going to fly to. This felt unnecessary, and it

0:37:51.080 --> 0:37:55.040
<v Speaker 3>felt very much like the producers were thrown off guard

0:37:55.120 --> 0:37:58.719
<v Speaker 3>at the very end and they had to figure this out.

0:37:59.400 --> 0:38:01.760
<v Speaker 5>And then my last comment is that this is also

0:38:01.840 --> 0:38:04.640
<v Speaker 5>maybe ridiculous, but like if it didn't happen at a

0:38:04.640 --> 0:38:06.480
<v Speaker 5>pumpkin patch and it happened at a bar that they

0:38:06.520 --> 0:38:08.680
<v Speaker 5>go too often, I would at least felt like that

0:38:08.760 --> 0:38:09.520
<v Speaker 5>was home here.

0:38:10.840 --> 0:38:11.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm with you.

0:38:11.760 --> 0:38:15.120
<v Speaker 3>Well, at least they could have drinks. The rest of

0:38:15.120 --> 0:38:18.759
<v Speaker 3>this episode exists with Joey and Grant sitting down. Not

0:38:18.840 --> 0:38:20.759
<v Speaker 3>a lot that comes from that, other than Joey giving

0:38:20.800 --> 0:38:23.560
<v Speaker 3>him some sound advice on how to process the next

0:38:23.600 --> 0:38:26.480
<v Speaker 3>steps in this relationship. Then we do see the girls

0:38:26.520 --> 0:38:29.799
<v Speaker 3>catching up and Dina feeling at that point like she's

0:38:29.840 --> 0:38:33.600
<v Speaker 3>the only one who didn't give Grant a true hometown. Well,

0:38:33.760 --> 0:38:36.560
<v Speaker 3>Dina ends up going home at the end of this episode,

0:38:36.680 --> 0:38:43.600
<v Speaker 3>left with Litia, Juliana, and Zoe moving into the Fantasy

0:38:43.680 --> 0:38:47.840
<v Speaker 3>suite week, Ashley, you and I would both agree that

0:38:47.920 --> 0:38:52.080
<v Speaker 3>this is a two horse race, right, you're up. It's

0:38:52.200 --> 0:38:57.520
<v Speaker 3>Litia is Juliana, and we're gonna figure out who wins

0:38:57.520 --> 0:38:57.920
<v Speaker 3>at the end.

0:38:58.239 --> 0:38:58.439
<v Speaker 4>Yep.

0:38:59.560 --> 0:39:03.040
<v Speaker 5>Like, we say that with such confidence and we're not spoiled. No,

0:39:03.360 --> 0:39:07.000
<v Speaker 5>and guess what's happening next week, guys, because this, as

0:39:07.040 --> 0:39:09.920
<v Speaker 5>we said last week, this season is two weeks shorter

0:39:10.360 --> 0:39:14.879
<v Speaker 5>than a typical Bachelor season. But guess what we get

0:39:14.960 --> 0:39:18.399
<v Speaker 5>next week? Women tell all because we needed to put

0:39:18.440 --> 0:39:19.000
<v Speaker 5>that there.

0:39:20.600 --> 0:39:22.400
<v Speaker 2>It was it was so necessary.

0:39:22.480 --> 0:39:24.960
<v Speaker 4>It was way more imperative than Grant having another week

0:39:24.960 --> 0:39:25.680
<v Speaker 4>of dates.

0:39:26.200 --> 0:39:27.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't get it.

0:39:27.280 --> 0:39:30.800
<v Speaker 4>It's so weird. I know it's cheaper for them, but whatever,

0:39:31.239 --> 0:39:31.920
<v Speaker 4>we don't need it.

0:39:32.040 --> 0:39:34.879
<v Speaker 5>We absolutely do not need two hours of a non

0:39:35.080 --> 0:39:38.799
<v Speaker 5>really not that dramatic season being recapped and squawked at.

0:39:39.120 --> 0:39:41.000
<v Speaker 2>But we'll watch it. We're gonna break it down right here.

0:39:41.000 --> 0:39:41.720
<v Speaker 2>It's almost fantasy.

0:39:41.840 --> 0:39:44.080
<v Speaker 5>We will be here, you know we will. We don't

0:39:44.120 --> 0:39:47.520
<v Speaker 5>love that one, but we're gonna be here. And I

0:39:47.560 --> 0:39:50.719
<v Speaker 5>guess that's it for this episode. We appreciate you guys

0:39:50.719 --> 0:39:54.360
