Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: Hey everybody, it's Almost Famous podcast. We're here today to
Speaker 2: start talking about some Paradise updates. Obviously, Bachelor in Paradise,
Speaker 2: as we know is filming. We have some leaked footage
Speaker 2: that we're going to talk to you all about. So
Speaker 2: here's I guess what we should do being respectful of
Speaker 2: our listeners. If you don't want to hear who we
Speaker 2: know is on the beaches of Paradise, if you don't
Speaker 2: want to hear any of the leaked secrets from Paradise,
Speaker 2: turn this episode off now, but still rate us five stars,
Speaker 2: give us a great review, and tell us that you're
Speaker 2: very thankful that we don't give spoilers out. But this
Speaker 2: is going to be a spoiler episode. We don't know
Speaker 2: who's dating who yet. We have some ideas, so we're
Speaker 2: not going to talk about that. But we do know
Speaker 2: who's on the beaches of Paradise. So with that, let's
Speaker 2: dive in.
Speaker 3: Ashley.
Speaker 2: Here's where I want to start. A lot of the
Speaker 2: reason that we know who's on Paradise already is because
Speaker 2: it feels like it sounds like and I think it's true.
Speaker 2: That there are like vacationers families hanging out in the
Speaker 2: same resort is where Paradise is filming.
Speaker 3: Now does that feel weird?
Speaker 4: That's a little weird because normally we would just do
Speaker 4: dates at Vedanta and people were staying there, but the
Speaker 4: location in which the date was happening was closed off.
Speaker 4: This is kind of like a free for this is
Speaker 4: this is great for us if you want spoilers because
Speaker 4: this video that we got that we found on Reddit,
Speaker 4: Thank you redditors. They if it's video that one of
Speaker 4: the guests took, I'm supposing, and in it we are
Speaker 4: getting some additional cast that we can kind of confirm
Speaker 4: as part of the series. Do you guys want to know?
Speaker 4: If you don't want to know, press pause. As Ben
Speaker 4: said before, all right, so here we go. This is
Speaker 4: what we see in this video. Yes, this is who
Speaker 4: we see in the video, Dale, Claire's ex. Dale.
Speaker 2: Let's sit on this one for a second. Yeah, Dale,
Speaker 2: The biggest shaker ad of the whole list to me
Speaker 2: is Dale being there one. You know, his experience on
Speaker 2: the show wasn't great, and but I mean it kind
Speaker 2: of feels like a redemption story could come from it.
Speaker 3: Paradise does that for people, but.
Speaker 2: He it seems to me that he has disassociated himself
Speaker 2: complete with the show since his time on the show.
Speaker 4: Wrong, Yeah, I feel like he also, Yeah, he hasn't
Speaker 4: really involved himself. But I really also find that he's
Speaker 4: the kind of guy. Maybe this sounds judging that like
Speaker 4: if they were going to call him and they wanted
Speaker 4: him back, he would see the opportunity that could come
Speaker 4: with it. Sure that's not judging, because I like freaking
Speaker 4: did it myself.
Speaker 3: Very true.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you said I was going to say, I was
Speaker 2: about to say, actually, I think that's what you Actually.
Speaker 4: You said yes four times.
Speaker 2: But it is a redemption moment for him, right to
Speaker 2: come on to show that like he actually is somebody
Speaker 2: interested in pursuing relationship with somebody from the show, that
Speaker 2: he's interested in dating, that he is an actually like
Speaker 2: kind human. Those are all things he can show from
Speaker 2: being on Paradise in a more relaxing But it is
Speaker 2: shocking that he is there, and I do think he
Speaker 2: will be a headliner contestant during the season.
Speaker 4: Okayre more things from this video Jonathan from Gen season.
Speaker 3: Not shocking, not shocking.
Speaker 4: He is there. If you guys don't know what I'm
Speaker 4: talking about. You guys know what I'm talking about, right,
Speaker 4: Jonathan Johnson. His name is Jonathan Johnson, which is not
Speaker 4: much different than Hayden Haven. Yeah, he is there. He was,
Speaker 4: in my opinion, probably the most requested guy to be
Speaker 4: on Paradise from gen season. I think from Jen Sason yeh,
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean, I think that his social media
Speaker 4: is cringing. And it's okay if you hear this, Jonathan,
Speaker 4: but you love but I loved him on the show. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you loved him on the show. I do think he's
Speaker 4: the most requested now, let's be honest. Though this does
Speaker 4: not go against Jonathan. I think he'll do great in Paradise.
Speaker 4: I think he will find somebody in Paradise. It's not
Speaker 4: a great title to have when you're the most requested
Speaker 4: person from a season that had very few people that
Speaker 4: anybody ever would That is so very true. Another takeaway
Speaker 4: Havelf from this video is that we have the Goldens
Speaker 4: and the young Ens together. Makes me think that they're
Speaker 4: doing more shooting together than separately. But who the heck knows.
Speaker 4: This video is of Gary, a big jolly Gary. He
Speaker 4: is in the middle dancing with a whole bunch of
Speaker 4: salsa dancers, and so I can't confirm that these people
Speaker 4: are in the cast, but these are who the redditors
Speaker 4: are suspecting that they're spotted kat who we saw from
Speaker 4: the last season. Jess, we know Jess, Jessica blonde one
Speaker 4: from who dated Blake Jesturard. Yes, yes, I know that
Speaker 4: she was highly requested amongst the men, so I'm not
Speaker 4: surprised to see her there, Parisa Jill Jill Chen who
Speaker 4: we all know in love as my crying friend Alex
Speaker 4: from this past season, Bailey from this past season. And
Speaker 4: then the men would be Jeremy. Okay, we know Jeremy
Speaker 4: was he the runner? He was in the fourth Guy
Speaker 4: Connecticut hometown or New York hometown on Gen season Jonathan
Speaker 4: Andrew Andrew Spencer, Andrew Spencer announcement.
Speaker 3: That's a big One's one to sit on too. Is
Speaker 3: that his second or third time?
Speaker 4: That'd be second? Okay, Dale, And then somebody's saying maybe
Speaker 4: Brian from Gen season. I don't remember at all, Oh
Speaker 4: my goodness, other okay, and then the and then the
Speaker 4: older cast the Goldens. People are thinking that they're seeing Natasha,
Speaker 4: Kathy we all know Kathy's in there, Leslie, we know
Speaker 4: Leslie's in there. And then we're seeing maybe Jonathan Gary,
Speaker 4: which we know, Keith, Charles King, and Jack.
Speaker 3: So excited to see Charles.
Speaker 4: Yeah, me too, Charles King.
Speaker 3: I hope he finds love. I mean, I really hope
Speaker 3: he finds love.
Speaker 4: This is great. Great to hear that he could be
Speaker 4: this it's great.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So we have the cast that we think or that
Speaker 2: we pretty much know is there. Because I mean, as
Speaker 2: much of a spoiler as this is. As we said,
Speaker 2: there's people vacationing at this resort while the show is filming,
Speaker 2: so it's going to be impossible to hide these contestants.
Speaker 2: In fact, I think the show wants us to know
Speaker 2: who's going to be there because I actually think, from
Speaker 2: the looks of it, this cast is a pretty fantastic
Speaker 2: cast of people. I don't though, Ashley, and maybe I'm
Speaker 2: crazy and maybe I don't understand paradise that well. I
Speaker 2: don't see. As I line up the cast side by side,
Speaker 2: both Goldens and the contestants from The Bachelor and Bachelorette,
Speaker 2: I don't see any relationships.
Speaker 4: Well, they're standing off to the side of each other, right.
Speaker 2: No, I'm yeah, I'm just saying like, in general, I
Speaker 2: don't see chemistry, Like I know enough about these people.
Speaker 2: I feel like to look at this list and be like,
Speaker 2: I don't know if these two people were Oh, like.
Speaker 4: You can't couple any of these people that we've talked about.
Speaker 3: Not many, maybe a few.
Speaker 4: We're not shipping anyone. You're right, I'm not like dying
Speaker 4: over like any possible partnerships here.
Speaker 2: It's it's tough for me to see this and really
Speaker 2: ship anybody confidently.
Speaker 4: Well, let's let's play a little game here. Let's Andrew Spencer,
Speaker 4: who you feel like we know probably better than most.
Speaker 4: Who which girl of these potential girls do you see
Speaker 4: him possibly getting along with?
Speaker 2: I mean, I think Jess, like Jesturrard would probably be
Speaker 2: the one that I go, oh yeah, that would make
Speaker 2: sense and I could see it working and being in
Speaker 2: a lot of fun.
Speaker 4: They're both Bailey, you know, say Bailey, you can see
Speaker 4: Bailey Alex, so.
Speaker 3: You can see Andrew with the whole cast.
Speaker 4: I scratched the Bailey comment, Alex. They're cute Alex.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's fair, and that's really it, Ash really is.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's all we got right now, but it's okay.
Speaker 4: We're going to find out more soon. I'm sure they'll
Speaker 4: announce at least the first beach, as they like to
Speaker 4: call it, the people that will be arriving and mingling first.
Speaker 2: Well, I think as we close up here on our
Speaker 2: Paradise announcement, I want to know what you think Claire's
Speaker 2: thoughts will be once she knows and sees that Dale
Speaker 2: is a part of this season. Do you think she'll
Speaker 2: have any emotions towards it, anger, frustration, excitement, maybe, I
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 4: Okay, this is my thoughts for Claire. I think she's
Speaker 4: probably gonna be like, of course he did. Of course
Speaker 4: he wants the attention. He was probably feeling neglected for
Speaker 4: a while, and he's happy to have the spotlight back
Speaker 4: on him. She's probably frustrated that he will get attention,
Speaker 4: which is she thinks that he's not a good enough
Speaker 4: guy to perceive like he shouldn't doesn't deserve this chance
Speaker 4: back on the show. But I think she also knows
Speaker 4: that he will eventually show all his cards. And this
Speaker 4: this is what I have to say. Is it Claire's opinion,
Speaker 4: is it my opinion? I don't know, But that's the opinion.
Speaker 2: But that's what you're feeling like she may be thinking,
Speaker 2: or what a reasonable human would be thinking.
Speaker 3: That's fair.
Speaker 2: Also, Ashley, We've talked about it before, but we're getting
Speaker 2: some statements from Walt Disney executives. We got a statement
Speaker 2: where somebody named Craig Irwitch. Irwitch, he's the Disney Television
Speaker 2: Group president, was just talking to Rob Mills, who's Walt
Speaker 2: Disney's television unscripted head, that the Goldens are partying harder
Speaker 2: than the younger people. Do you think that's going to
Speaker 2: be a good thing a bad thing? Do you think
Speaker 2: that cultivates love amongst the Goldens or do you think
Speaker 2: they're just down there having a great time and being
Speaker 2: very friendly with each other.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're staying up later than the younger cast. That's
Speaker 4: interesting this. Do I think this is going to be
Speaker 4: a good I think that that is almost expected to me.
Speaker 4: I think that when you get to their age that
Speaker 4: they're like having a second wind at life.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And when you're the age of the you know, the
Speaker 4: younger cast, you're just like, I'm getting to the age
Speaker 4: where I would like to find a partner and go
Speaker 4: to bed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I cannot wait to watch Kathy and Nancy. I
Speaker 2: wish Susan was there and some of our favorites. I mean,
Speaker 2: Kathy and Nancy on the Beaches of Paradise is going
Speaker 2: to be something that I'm so excited to tune into,
Speaker 2: and I hope they're having a blast, and I really
Speaker 2: do hope both of them finds something very special coming
Speaker 2: out of it. That's we have for you from Bachelor
Speaker 2: in Paradise. Obviously, it is filming currently, it should be
Speaker 2: done filming by the end of the month. We'll hopefully
Speaker 2: get you know, some one of their two bartenders. I
Speaker 2: think actually Hannah is known as like the bubbly passer
Speaker 2: out er Wells is still your bartender.
Speaker 4: He'll be mixing the drinks and Hannah will be having
Speaker 4: them on a tray.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's I don't know how that looks or works,
Speaker 2: but it seems to be a thing they wanted to
Speaker 2: do this season. Either way, Until next time, I've been Ben.
Speaker 4: I've been Ashley. See you guys. Thank you.
