1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio.

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 2: Hey everybody, it's Almost Famous podcast. We're here today to

4
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 2: start talking about some Paradise updates. Obviously, Bachelor in Paradise,

5
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,600
Speaker 2: as we know is filming. We have some leaked footage

6
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 2: that we're going to talk to you all about. So

7
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 2: here's I guess what we should do being respectful of

8
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 2: our listeners. If you don't want to hear who we

9
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 2: know is on the beaches of Paradise, if you don't

10
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 2: want to hear any of the leaked secrets from Paradise,

11
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 2: turn this episode off now, but still rate us five stars,

12
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 2: give us a great review, and tell us that you're

13
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: very thankful that we don't give spoilers out. But this

14
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 2: is going to be a spoiler episode. We don't know

15
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 2: who's dating who yet. We have some ideas, so we're

16
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 2: not going to talk about that. But we do know

17
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 2: who's on the beaches of Paradise. So with that, let's

18
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 2: dive in.

19
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 3: Ashley.

20
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 2: Here's where I want to start. A lot of the

21
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 2: reason that we know who's on Paradise already is because

22
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 2: it feels like it sounds like and I think it's true.

23
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 2: That there are like vacationers families hanging out in the

24
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: same resort is where Paradise is filming.

25
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 3: Now does that feel weird?

26
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 4: That's a little weird because normally we would just do

27
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 4: dates at Vedanta and people were staying there, but the

28
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 4: location in which the date was happening was closed off.

29
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 4: This is kind of like a free for this is

30
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 4: this is great for us if you want spoilers because

31
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 4: this video that we got that we found on Reddit,

32
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 4: Thank you redditors. They if it's video that one of

33
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 4: the guests took, I'm supposing, and in it we are

34
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 4: getting some additional cast that we can kind of confirm

35
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 4: as part of the series. Do you guys want to know?

36
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 4: If you don't want to know, press pause. As Ben

37
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 4: said before, all right, so here we go. This is

38
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 4: what we see in this video. Yes, this is who

39
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 4: we see in the video, Dale, Claire's ex. Dale.

40
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 2: Let's sit on this one for a second. Yeah, Dale,

41
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: The biggest shaker ad of the whole list to me

42
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 2: is Dale being there one. You know, his experience on

43
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 2: the show wasn't great, and but I mean it kind

44
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 2: of feels like a redemption story could come from it.

45
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 3: Paradise does that for people, but.

46
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 2: He it seems to me that he has disassociated himself

47
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 2: complete with the show since his time on the show.

48
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 4: Wrong, Yeah, I feel like he also, Yeah, he hasn't

49
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 4: really involved himself. But I really also find that he's

50
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 4: the kind of guy. Maybe this sounds judging that like

51
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 4: if they were going to call him and they wanted

52
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 4: him back, he would see the opportunity that could come

53
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 4: with it. Sure that's not judging, because I like freaking

54
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 4: did it myself.

55
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 3: Very true.

56
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, you said I was going to say, I was

57
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 2: about to say, actually, I think that's what you Actually.

58
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 4: You said yes four times.

59
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: But it is a redemption moment for him, right to

60
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: come on to show that like he actually is somebody

61
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 2: interested in pursuing relationship with somebody from the show, that

62
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 2: he's interested in dating, that he is an actually like

63
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 2: kind human. Those are all things he can show from

64
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 2: being on Paradise in a more relaxing But it is

65
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 2: shocking that he is there, and I do think he

66
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 2: will be a headliner contestant during the season.

67
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 4: Okayre more things from this video Jonathan from Gen season.

68
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 3: Not shocking, not shocking.

69
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 4: He is there. If you guys don't know what I'm

70
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 4: talking about. You guys know what I'm talking about, right,

71
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 4: Jonathan Johnson. His name is Jonathan Johnson, which is not

72
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 4: much different than Hayden Haven. Yeah, he is there. He was,

73
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 4: in my opinion, probably the most requested guy to be

74
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 4: on Paradise from gen season. I think from Jen Sason yeh,

75
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean, I think that his social media

76
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 4: is cringing. And it's okay if you hear this, Jonathan,

77
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 4: but you love but I loved him on the show. Yeah,

78
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 4: you loved him on the show. I do think he's

79
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 4: the most requested now, let's be honest. Though this does

80
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 4: not go against Jonathan. I think he'll do great in Paradise.

81
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 4: I think he will find somebody in Paradise. It's not

82
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 4: a great title to have when you're the most requested

83
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 4: person from a season that had very few people that

84
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 4: anybody ever would That is so very true. Another takeaway

85
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 4: Havelf from this video is that we have the Goldens

86
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 4: and the young Ens together. Makes me think that they're

87
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 4: doing more shooting together than separately. But who the heck knows.

88
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 4: This video is of Gary, a big jolly Gary. He

89
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 4: is in the middle dancing with a whole bunch of

90
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 4: salsa dancers, and so I can't confirm that these people

91
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 4: are in the cast, but these are who the redditors

92
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 4: are suspecting that they're spotted kat who we saw from

93
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 4: the last season. Jess, we know Jess, Jessica blonde one

94
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 4: from who dated Blake Jesturard. Yes, yes, I know that

95
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 4: she was highly requested amongst the men, so I'm not

96
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 4: surprised to see her there, Parisa Jill Jill Chen who

97
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 4: we all know in love as my crying friend Alex

98
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 4: from this past season, Bailey from this past season. And

99
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 4: then the men would be Jeremy. Okay, we know Jeremy

100
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 4: was he the runner? He was in the fourth Guy

101
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 4: Connecticut hometown or New York hometown on Gen season Jonathan

102
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 4: Andrew Andrew Spencer, Andrew Spencer announcement.

103
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 3: That's a big One's one to sit on too. Is

104
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 3: that his second or third time?

105
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 4: That'd be second? Okay, Dale, And then somebody's saying maybe

106
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 4: Brian from Gen season. I don't remember at all, Oh

107
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 4: my goodness, other okay, and then the and then the

108
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 4: older cast the Goldens. People are thinking that they're seeing Natasha,

109
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 4: Kathy we all know Kathy's in there, Leslie, we know

110
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 4: Leslie's in there. And then we're seeing maybe Jonathan Gary,

111
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 4: which we know, Keith, Charles King, and Jack.

112
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 3: So excited to see Charles.

113
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, me too, Charles King.

114
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 3: I hope he finds love. I mean, I really hope

115
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 3: he finds love.

116
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 4: This is great. Great to hear that he could be

117
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 4: this it's great.

118
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 5: Yeah.

119
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 2: So we have the cast that we think or that

120
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 2: we pretty much know is there. Because I mean, as

121
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 2: much of a spoiler as this is. As we said,

122
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 2: there's people vacationing at this resort while the show is filming,

123
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,799
Speaker 2: so it's going to be impossible to hide these contestants.

124
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 2: In fact, I think the show wants us to know

125
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 2: who's going to be there because I actually think, from

126
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 2: the looks of it, this cast is a pretty fantastic

127
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 2: cast of people. I don't though, Ashley, and maybe I'm

128
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 2: crazy and maybe I don't understand paradise that well. I

129
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 2: don't see. As I line up the cast side by side,

130
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 2: both Goldens and the contestants from The Bachelor and Bachelorette,

131
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 2: I don't see any relationships.

132
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 4: Well, they're standing off to the side of each other, right.

133
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 2: No, I'm yeah, I'm just saying like, in general, I

134
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 2: don't see chemistry, Like I know enough about these people.

135
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 2: I feel like to look at this list and be like,

136
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 2: I don't know if these two people were Oh, like.

137
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 4: You can't couple any of these people that we've talked about.

138
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 3: Not many, maybe a few.

139
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 4: We're not shipping anyone. You're right, I'm not like dying

140
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 4: over like any possible partnerships here.

141
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 2: It's it's tough for me to see this and really

142
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 2: ship anybody confidently.

143
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 4: Well, let's let's play a little game here. Let's Andrew Spencer,

144
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 4: who you feel like we know probably better than most.

145
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 4: Who which girl of these potential girls do you see

146
00:07:58,400 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 4: him possibly getting along with?

147
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 2: I mean, I think Jess, like Jesturrard would probably be

148
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 2: the one that I go, oh yeah, that would make

149
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 2: sense and I could see it working and being in

150
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 2: a lot of fun.

151
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 4: They're both Bailey, you know, say Bailey, you can see

152
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 4: Bailey Alex, so.

153
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 3: You can see Andrew with the whole cast.

154
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 4: I scratched the Bailey comment, Alex. They're cute Alex.

155
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 3: Okay, that's fair, and that's really it, Ash really is.

156
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's all we got right now, but it's okay.

157
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 4: We're going to find out more soon. I'm sure they'll

158
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 4: announce at least the first beach, as they like to

159
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 4: call it, the people that will be arriving and mingling first.

160
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 2: Well, I think as we close up here on our

161
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 2: Paradise announcement, I want to know what you think Claire's

162
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 2: thoughts will be once she knows and sees that Dale

163
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 2: is a part of this season. Do you think she'll

164
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 2: have any emotions towards it, anger, frustration, excitement, maybe, I

165
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 2: don't know.

166
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 4: Okay, this is my thoughts for Claire. I think she's

167
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 4: probably gonna be like, of course he did. Of course

168
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 4: he wants the attention. He was probably feeling neglected for

169
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 4: a while, and he's happy to have the spotlight back

170
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 4: on him. She's probably frustrated that he will get attention,

171
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 4: which is she thinks that he's not a good enough

172
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 4: guy to perceive like he shouldn't doesn't deserve this chance

173
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 4: back on the show. But I think she also knows

174
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 4: that he will eventually show all his cards. And this

175
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 4: this is what I have to say. Is it Claire's opinion,

176
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 4: is it my opinion? I don't know, But that's the opinion.

177
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 2: But that's what you're feeling like she may be thinking,

178
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 2: or what a reasonable human would be thinking.

179
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 3: That's fair.

180
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 2: Also, Ashley, We've talked about it before, but we're getting

181
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 2: some statements from Walt Disney executives. We got a statement

182
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 2: where somebody named Craig Irwitch. Irwitch, he's the Disney Television

183
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 2: Group president, was just talking to Rob Mills, who's Walt

184
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 2: Disney's television unscripted head, that the Goldens are partying harder

185
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 2: than the younger people. Do you think that's going to

186
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 2: be a good thing a bad thing? Do you think

187
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 2: that cultivates love amongst the Goldens or do you think

188
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 2: they're just down there having a great time and being

189
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 2: very friendly with each other.

190
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're staying up later than the younger cast. That's

191
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 4: interesting this. Do I think this is going to be

192
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 4: a good I think that that is almost expected to me.

193
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 4: I think that when you get to their age that

194
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 4: they're like having a second wind at life.

195
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

196
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 4: And when you're the age of the you know, the

197
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 4: younger cast, you're just like, I'm getting to the age

198
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 4: where I would like to find a partner and go

199
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 4: to bed.

200
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I cannot wait to watch Kathy and Nancy. I

201
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 2: wish Susan was there and some of our favorites. I mean,

202
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 2: Kathy and Nancy on the Beaches of Paradise is going

203
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 2: to be something that I'm so excited to tune into,

204
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 2: and I hope they're having a blast, and I really

205
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 2: do hope both of them finds something very special coming

206
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 2: out of it. That's we have for you from Bachelor

207
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 2: in Paradise. Obviously, it is filming currently, it should be

208
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 2: done filming by the end of the month. We'll hopefully

209
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 2: get you know, some one of their two bartenders. I

210
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 2: think actually Hannah is known as like the bubbly passer

211
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,719
Speaker 2: out er Wells is still your bartender.

212
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 4: He'll be mixing the drinks and Hannah will be having

213
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 4: them on a tray.

214
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's I don't know how that looks or works,

215
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 2: but it seems to be a thing they wanted to

216
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:31,239
Speaker 2: do this season. Either way, Until next time, I've been Ben.
