WEBVTT - Destination Paradise 

0:00:00.760 --> 0:00:03.800
<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 --> 0:00:09.760
<v Speaker 2>Hey everybody, it's Almost Famous podcast. We're here today to

0:00:09.840 --> 0:00:13.600
<v Speaker 2>start talking about some Paradise updates. Obviously, Bachelor in Paradise,

0:00:13.680 --> 0:00:16.600
<v Speaker 2>as we know is filming. We have some leaked footage

0:00:16.600 --> 0:00:17.759
<v Speaker 2>that we're going to talk to you all about. So

0:00:17.800 --> 0:00:22.400
<v Speaker 2>here's I guess what we should do being respectful of

0:00:22.880 --> 0:00:24.840
<v Speaker 2>our listeners. If you don't want to hear who we

0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:27.960
<v Speaker 2>know is on the beaches of Paradise, if you don't

0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:31.600
<v Speaker 2>want to hear any of the leaked secrets from Paradise,

0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:34.159
<v Speaker 2>turn this episode off now, but still rate us five stars,

0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:35.760
<v Speaker 2>give us a great review, and tell us that you're

0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:40.000
<v Speaker 2>very thankful that we don't give spoilers out. But this

0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:41.600
<v Speaker 2>is going to be a spoiler episode. We don't know

0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:45.040
<v Speaker 2>who's dating who yet. We have some ideas, so we're

0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:46.280
<v Speaker 2>not going to talk about that. But we do know

0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:50.560
<v Speaker 2>who's on the beaches of Paradise. So with that, let's

0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:51.440
<v Speaker 2>dive in.

0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:52.239
<v Speaker 3>Ashley.

0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:55.600
<v Speaker 2>Here's where I want to start. A lot of the

0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:59.080
<v Speaker 2>reason that we know who's on Paradise already is because

0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:01.600
<v Speaker 2>it feels like it sounds like and I think it's true.

0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:04.640
<v Speaker 2>That there are like vacationers families hanging out in the

0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:06.880
<v Speaker 2>same resort is where Paradise is filming.

0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:08.000
<v Speaker 3>Now does that feel weird?

0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:10.479
<v Speaker 4>That's a little weird because normally we would just do

0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:15.360
<v Speaker 4>dates at Vedanta and people were staying there, but the

0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:18.040
<v Speaker 4>location in which the date was happening was closed off.

0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:21.000
<v Speaker 4>This is kind of like a free for this is

0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:24.400
<v Speaker 4>this is great for us if you want spoilers because

0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:27.399
<v Speaker 4>this video that we got that we found on Reddit,

0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:31.760
<v Speaker 4>Thank you redditors. They if it's video that one of

0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:35.959
<v Speaker 4>the guests took, I'm supposing, and in it we are

0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:40.840
<v Speaker 4>getting some additional cast that we can kind of confirm

0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:43.440
<v Speaker 4>as part of the series. Do you guys want to know?

0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:46.520
<v Speaker 4>If you don't want to know, press pause. As Ben

0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:49.000
<v Speaker 4>said before, all right, so here we go. This is

0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:51.680
<v Speaker 4>what we see in this video. Yes, this is who

0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:56.840
<v Speaker 4>we see in the video, Dale, Claire's ex. Dale.

0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:01.400
<v Speaker 2>Let's sit on this one for a second. Yeah, Dale,

0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:03.920
<v Speaker 2>The biggest shaker ad of the whole list to me

0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:10.240
<v Speaker 2>is Dale being there one. You know, his experience on

0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:13.400
<v Speaker 2>the show wasn't great, and but I mean it kind

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:15.320
<v Speaker 2>of feels like a redemption story could come from it.

0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:17.919
<v Speaker 3>Paradise does that for people, but.

0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:22.080
<v Speaker 2>He it seems to me that he has disassociated himself

0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:24.280
<v Speaker 2>complete with the show since his time on the show.

0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:30.640
<v Speaker 4>Wrong, Yeah, I feel like he also, Yeah, he hasn't

0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:36.799
<v Speaker 4>really involved himself. But I really also find that he's

0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:40.440
<v Speaker 4>the kind of guy. Maybe this sounds judging that like

0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:42.160
<v Speaker 4>if they were going to call him and they wanted

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:45.639
<v Speaker 4>him back, he would see the opportunity that could come

0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:49.400
<v Speaker 4>with it. Sure that's not judging, because I like freaking

0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:50.040
<v Speaker 4>did it myself.

0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:50.800
<v Speaker 3>Very true.

0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:53.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you said I was going to say, I was

0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:55.400
<v Speaker 2>about to say, actually, I think that's what you Actually.

0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:56.320
<v Speaker 4>You said yes four times.

0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:02.040
<v Speaker 2>But it is a redemption moment for him, right to

0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:05.160
<v Speaker 2>come on to show that like he actually is somebody

0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:07.640
<v Speaker 2>interested in pursuing relationship with somebody from the show, that

0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:11.280
<v Speaker 2>he's interested in dating, that he is an actually like

0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:14.520
<v Speaker 2>kind human. Those are all things he can show from

0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:17.120
<v Speaker 2>being on Paradise in a more relaxing But it is

0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:19.200
<v Speaker 2>shocking that he is there, and I do think he

0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:22.959
<v Speaker 2>will be a headliner contestant during the season.

0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:28.840
<v Speaker 4>Okayre more things from this video Jonathan from Gen season.

0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:30.080
<v Speaker 3>Not shocking, not shocking.

0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:32.960
<v Speaker 4>He is there. If you guys don't know what I'm

0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:34.560
<v Speaker 4>talking about. You guys know what I'm talking about, right,

0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:38.800
<v Speaker 4>Jonathan Johnson. His name is Jonathan Johnson, which is not

0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:42.840
<v Speaker 4>much different than Hayden Haven. Yeah, he is there. He was,

0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:49.040
<v Speaker 4>in my opinion, probably the most requested guy to be

0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:53.880
<v Speaker 4>on Paradise from gen season. I think from Jen Sason yeh,

0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:55.560
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I mean, I think that his social media

0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:58.000
<v Speaker 4>is cringing. And it's okay if you hear this, Jonathan,

0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:01.000
<v Speaker 4>but you love but I loved him on the show. Yeah,

0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:03.080
<v Speaker 4>you loved him on the show. I do think he's

0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:06.840
<v Speaker 4>the most requested now, let's be honest. Though this does

0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:09.320
<v Speaker 4>not go against Jonathan. I think he'll do great in Paradise.

0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 4>I think he will find somebody in Paradise. It's not

0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:14.480
<v Speaker 4>a great title to have when you're the most requested

0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:17.680
<v Speaker 4>person from a season that had very few people that

0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:22.359
<v Speaker 4>anybody ever would That is so very true. Another takeaway

0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:25.200
<v Speaker 4>Havelf from this video is that we have the Goldens

0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:29.719
<v Speaker 4>and the young Ens together. Makes me think that they're

0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:33.160
<v Speaker 4>doing more shooting together than separately. But who the heck knows.

0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:39.200
<v Speaker 4>This video is of Gary, a big jolly Gary. He

0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:42.640
<v Speaker 4>is in the middle dancing with a whole bunch of

0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:48.080
<v Speaker 4>salsa dancers, and so I can't confirm that these people

0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:50.919
<v Speaker 4>are in the cast, but these are who the redditors

0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:54.920
<v Speaker 4>are suspecting that they're spotted kat who we saw from

0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:59.839
<v Speaker 4>the last season. Jess, we know Jess, Jessica blonde one

0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:07.480
<v Speaker 4>from who dated Blake Jesturard. Yes, yes, I know that

0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:10.359
<v Speaker 4>she was highly requested amongst the men, so I'm not

0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:17.080
<v Speaker 4>surprised to see her there, Parisa Jill Jill Chen who

0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:21.280
<v Speaker 4>we all know in love as my crying friend Alex

0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:26.279
<v Speaker 4>from this past season, Bailey from this past season. And

0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:29.839
<v Speaker 4>then the men would be Jeremy. Okay, we know Jeremy

0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:33.920
<v Speaker 4>was he the runner? He was in the fourth Guy

0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:38.400
<v Speaker 4>Connecticut hometown or New York hometown on Gen season Jonathan

0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:43.200
<v Speaker 4>Andrew Andrew Spencer, Andrew Spencer announcement.

0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:45.080
<v Speaker 3>That's a big One's one to sit on too. Is

0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:46.279
<v Speaker 3>that his second or third time?

0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:52.760
<v Speaker 4>That'd be second? Okay, Dale, And then somebody's saying maybe

0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:56.760
<v Speaker 4>Brian from Gen season. I don't remember at all, Oh

0:05:56.839 --> 0:06:00.520
<v Speaker 4>my goodness, other okay, and then the and then the

0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:04.680
<v Speaker 4>older cast the Goldens. People are thinking that they're seeing Natasha,

0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:09.479
<v Speaker 4>Kathy we all know Kathy's in there, Leslie, we know

0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:14.320
<v Speaker 4>Leslie's in there. And then we're seeing maybe Jonathan Gary,

0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:19.960
<v Speaker 4>which we know, Keith, Charles King, and Jack.

0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:22.040
<v Speaker 3>So excited to see Charles.

0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:23.719
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, me too, Charles King.

0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:25.760
<v Speaker 3>I hope he finds love. I mean, I really hope

0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:26.360
<v Speaker 3>he finds love.

0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:28.359
<v Speaker 4>This is great. Great to hear that he could be

0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:28.880
<v Speaker 4>this it's great.

0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:39.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:41.440
<v Speaker 2>So we have the cast that we think or that

0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:43.680
<v Speaker 2>we pretty much know is there. Because I mean, as

0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:45.520
<v Speaker 2>much of a spoiler as this is. As we said,

0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:50.040
<v Speaker 2>there's people vacationing at this resort while the show is filming,

0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:52.799
<v Speaker 2>so it's going to be impossible to hide these contestants.

0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:54.560
<v Speaker 2>In fact, I think the show wants us to know

0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:57.320
<v Speaker 2>who's going to be there because I actually think, from

0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:00.680
<v Speaker 2>the looks of it, this cast is a pretty fantastic

0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:05.240
<v Speaker 2>cast of people. I don't though, Ashley, and maybe I'm

0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:07.920
<v Speaker 2>crazy and maybe I don't understand paradise that well. I

0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:10.800
<v Speaker 2>don't see. As I line up the cast side by side,

0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:15.560
<v Speaker 2>both Goldens and the contestants from The Bachelor and Bachelorette,

0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:17.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't see any relationships.

0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:21.600
<v Speaker 4>Well, they're standing off to the side of each other, right.

0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:24.800
<v Speaker 2>No, I'm yeah, I'm just saying like, in general, I

0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:27.400
<v Speaker 2>don't see chemistry, Like I know enough about these people.

0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:29.000
<v Speaker 2>I feel like to look at this list and be like,

0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:30.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if these two people were Oh, like.

0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:33.360
<v Speaker 4>You can't couple any of these people that we've talked about.

0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:35.920
<v Speaker 3>Not many, maybe a few.

0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:39.720
<v Speaker 4>We're not shipping anyone. You're right, I'm not like dying

0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:42.280
<v Speaker 4>over like any possible partnerships here.

0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:46.200
<v Speaker 2>It's it's tough for me to see this and really

0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:47.680
<v Speaker 2>ship anybody confidently.

0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:51.040
<v Speaker 4>Well, let's let's play a little game here. Let's Andrew Spencer,

0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:53.480
<v Speaker 4>who you feel like we know probably better than most.

0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:58.360
<v Speaker 4>Who which girl of these potential girls do you see

0:07:58.400 --> 0:07:59.880
<v Speaker 4>him possibly getting along with?

0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:03.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think Jess, like Jesturrard would probably be

0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:04.560
<v Speaker 2>the one that I go, oh yeah, that would make

0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:06.480
<v Speaker 2>sense and I could see it working and being in

0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:06.960
<v Speaker 2>a lot of fun.

0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:09.480
<v Speaker 4>They're both Bailey, you know, say Bailey, you can see

0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:10.800
<v Speaker 4>Bailey Alex, so.

0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:12.160
<v Speaker 3>You can see Andrew with the whole cast.

0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:16.160
<v Speaker 4>I scratched the Bailey comment, Alex. They're cute Alex.

0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:21.160
<v Speaker 3>Okay, that's fair, and that's really it, Ash really is.

0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:23.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's all we got right now, but it's okay.

0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:25.440
<v Speaker 4>We're going to find out more soon. I'm sure they'll

0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:29.280
<v Speaker 4>announce at least the first beach, as they like to

0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:33.120
<v Speaker 4>call it, the people that will be arriving and mingling first.

0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:36.080
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think as we close up here on our

0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:39.360
<v Speaker 2>Paradise announcement, I want to know what you think Claire's

0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:43.360
<v Speaker 2>thoughts will be once she knows and sees that Dale

0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:45.280
<v Speaker 2>is a part of this season. Do you think she'll

0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:50.240
<v Speaker 2>have any emotions towards it, anger, frustration, excitement, maybe, I

0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:50.560
<v Speaker 2>don't know.

0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:54.559
<v Speaker 4>Okay, this is my thoughts for Claire. I think she's

0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:57.560
<v Speaker 4>probably gonna be like, of course he did. Of course

0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:02.160
<v Speaker 4>he wants the attention. He was probably feeling neglected for

0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:04.600
<v Speaker 4>a while, and he's happy to have the spotlight back

0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:08.880
<v Speaker 4>on him. She's probably frustrated that he will get attention,

0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:12.080
<v Speaker 4>which is she thinks that he's not a good enough

0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:17.800
<v Speaker 4>guy to perceive like he shouldn't doesn't deserve this chance

0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:21.920
<v Speaker 4>back on the show. But I think she also knows

0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:26.160
<v Speaker 4>that he will eventually show all his cards. And this

0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:29.720
<v Speaker 4>this is what I have to say. Is it Claire's opinion,

0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:32.360
<v Speaker 4>is it my opinion? I don't know, But that's the opinion.

0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:35.480
<v Speaker 2>But that's what you're feeling like she may be thinking,

0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:37.440
<v Speaker 2>or what a reasonable human would be thinking.

0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:37.880
<v Speaker 3>That's fair.

0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:43.640
<v Speaker 2>Also, Ashley, We've talked about it before, but we're getting

0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:48.720
<v Speaker 2>some statements from Walt Disney executives. We got a statement

0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:56.080
<v Speaker 2>where somebody named Craig Irwitch. Irwitch, he's the Disney Television

0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:59.520
<v Speaker 2>Group president, was just talking to Rob Mills, who's Walt

0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:04.319
<v Speaker 2>Disney's television unscripted head, that the Goldens are partying harder

0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:07.640
<v Speaker 2>than the younger people. Do you think that's going to

0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:09.800
<v Speaker 2>be a good thing a bad thing? Do you think

0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:12.280
<v Speaker 2>that cultivates love amongst the Goldens or do you think

0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:14.360
<v Speaker 2>they're just down there having a great time and being

0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:15.560
<v Speaker 2>very friendly with each other.

0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:19.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, they're staying up later than the younger cast. That's

0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:23.120
<v Speaker 4>interesting this. Do I think this is going to be

0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:26.880
<v Speaker 4>a good I think that that is almost expected to me.

0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:29.720
<v Speaker 4>I think that when you get to their age that

0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:31.680
<v Speaker 4>they're like having a second wind at life.

0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:33.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:36.440
<v Speaker 4>And when you're the age of the you know, the

0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:39.000
<v Speaker 4>younger cast, you're just like, I'm getting to the age

0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:40.520
<v Speaker 4>where I would like to find a partner and go

0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:40.800
<v Speaker 4>to bed.

0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:45.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I cannot wait to watch Kathy and Nancy. I

0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:47.880
<v Speaker 2>wish Susan was there and some of our favorites. I mean,

0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:51.600
<v Speaker 2>Kathy and Nancy on the Beaches of Paradise is going

0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:53.840
<v Speaker 2>to be something that I'm so excited to tune into,

0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:56.079
<v Speaker 2>and I hope they're having a blast, and I really

0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:58.960
<v Speaker 2>do hope both of them finds something very special coming

0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:01.800
<v Speaker 2>out of it. That's we have for you from Bachelor

<v Speaker 2>done filming by the end of the month. We'll hopefully

0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:12.480
<v Speaker 2>get you know, some one of their two bartenders. I

0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:16.640
<v Speaker 2>think actually Hannah is known as like the bubbly passer

0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:18.719
<v Speaker 2>out er Wells is still your bartender.

0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:21.720
<v Speaker 4>He'll be mixing the drinks and Hannah will be having

0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:22.400
<v Speaker 4>them on a tray.

0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:25.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and that's I don't know how that looks or works,

0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:26.560
<v Speaker 2>but it seems to be a thing they wanted to

0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:31.239
<v Speaker 2>do this season. Either way, Until next time, I've been Ben.
