WEBVTT - Bachelorette Katie Thurston Is Here! 0:00:02.000 --> 0:00:06.040 Welcome back Happy Hour listeners, and I couldn't do another 0:00:06.160 --> 0:00:09.520 week of Katie season without my girl Tasia alongside me. 0:00:09.640 --> 0:00:13.080 She is back to chat about everything from this second episode. 0:00:13.080 --> 0:00:17.120 So welcome back, Tasha, Hi, my little Happy Hour listeners. 0:00:17.200 --> 0:00:20.279 I am so excited to be back and give y'all 0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:22.600 a little bit more tea about this season. But I'm 0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:27.080 most excited for our guest today, the Bachelorette herself, Katie 0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:30.280 is joining us, and I just like, can't wait. It's 0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:32.919 gonna be a good episode of Bachela Happy Hour. I 0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:36.080 can't wait. We haven't had Katie on Bachelor Happy Hour 0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:39.120 since she was on Matt season, which was four ever ago. Crazy, 0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:42.319 it's been so long. I mean, it just feels like 0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:44.360 eons ago that we had her on, and like, I 0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:46.199 absolutely fell in love with her when we first had 0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:49.240 her with us. So we're gonna bring her on very shortly. 0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:51.239 But before we do chat with her, we just have 0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:54.800 to get into last night's episode. We saw a lot 0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:57.560 go down. We obviously were left with the cliff hanger. 0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:00.760 I'm excited to actually have Katie on though, because you know, 0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:02.520 we can chat about all of the dirt and the 0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:05.760 tea and what went down with her. But I think 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:09.119 we should just start off and Tasia, if you're cool 0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:12.240 with this, just like maybe give like our favorite highlights 0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:15.040 or lowlights of the I was gonna say the season 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:19.319 of the episode that we saw, Yeah, absolutely, Okay. First off, 0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:21.560 I had to say with the first date, can I 0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:25.280 just say that I love Heather McDonald and that yes 0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:29.959 you can. I think that date was just so different 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:34.600 from anything I've ever seen really on The Bachelorette, and 0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:39.160 I think the guys were so incredibly funny and made 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:42.679 light of a situation that can kind of be awkward 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:45.400 at times in front of thirty guys that are all 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:49.600 trading date the same girl. Heather McDonald was the perfect 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:52.160 host for that. I absolutely love her. Obviously we chatted 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:55.800 with her last week, but she just brought such a 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:59.560 funny perspective to the date without making it like it 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:01.960 didn't cross a line like I'm sure some people were 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:03.680 gonna watch it and be like, oh, you know, this 0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:06.320 is kind of like scandalous or like dry. I thought 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:09.280 it was great. It was handled so well. Most of 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:11.639 the guys, besides Mike, who obviously we saw it, was 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:14.160 very uncomfortable with the date. For certain reasons, like most 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:17.440 of the guys just owned it and made it very lighthearted. 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:19.880 Who I mean because you were obviously they're sitting next 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:22.600 to Katie, who was your favorite stand o guy from 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:26.600 that group date. Oh my gosh. Let me think she 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:33.760 laughed so hard with Trey's little like puppet show, which 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:37.560 was so awkward in verson because it went on for 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:42.320 like fifteen minutes, but it was it was comical. I 0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:46.840 think she really enjoyed Connors the Cat song. She loved 0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:49.120 that song. I loved that song. I was like, girl, 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:50.919 if you don't like that song, there's something wrong. But 0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:53.680 she had let me clean out your little ears because 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:56.240 he was just I was not expecting that from him. 0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:59.120 I mean, he's good, he can actually sing, he's not 0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:03.400 just right lyrics. Hello, Yes, he's clever. It was it 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:06.559 was like the perfect balance of like actually good performing 0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:11.400 and you know, like he's very musically talented with witty lyrics. 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:14.320 And I was right, And it wasn't like to showoff. 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:16.480 He like, Hi, I'm a musician, Like let me play 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:19.000 for you. It was just like I could play along 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:21.240 and then just like it was witty, he was cute, 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:23.480 it was flirty and you didn't expect some of those 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:27.959 lines from Conn or the cat. So um, yeah, that 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:30.560 was great. The only thing I wish would have been 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:32.520 added to that is if he would have actually still 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.440 had the cat costume on while he was I think 0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:37.280 the cat costume is dead and done. Okay, baby, I 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:39.600 think the cat costume is dead and done. I don't know. 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:41.400 After we saw how much she loved in Ny one, 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:43.640 it's got to be somewhere. I feel like it's not 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:47.080 too far away. It's so funny. He probably still has 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:49.680 it in his closet. Oh gosh, I hope. I would hope. 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:51.520 So if he doesn't come out to like mentell all, 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:53.760 if he you know, I don't know how far he gets. 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:55.840 But if he's if he's partamental all and he's not 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:57.840 in that cot costume or like the pousitible, don't make 0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:00.520 an appearance, I'm gonna be very disappointed that is can okay, wait, 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:03.720 we'll have to look out for that. Okay. So obviously 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:07.920 group date for the most part, when well we saw 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:11.680 Thomas get the group date rose that night. Great. Can 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:15.480 I just say I don't think I trust Thomas. It's 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:21.160 so funny because I'm trying not just say too much. 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:26.880 But I thought the same thing, like you're too good 0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:31.440 looking and you say the right thing, and there's something 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:34.520 like red flaggy about that. Is that not right? No? 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:36.760 I feel the same way I wrote in my notes. Okay, 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:39.279 I said he's hot, but I don't trust a man 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:45.839 who after meeting him, says he keeps saying like you 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:47.600 can trust me, you can trust me. It's like, why 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:49.120 are you telling me this right now? Like he's just 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:52.960 like too scripted, too perfect, Like he says all the 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.760 right things. It's like he's watched the show every season, 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:59.640 you know, like he does. But I mean, of course 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:01.800 you if I was Katie, I would look at him 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:04.960 and be like, oh, okay, I trust you too, got it? Yeah, 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:08.240 So yeah, there's just something about him. So we'll see, 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:10.440 we'll see. I don't know what she's going to go on, 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:14.720 but yeah, he got the group date on that on 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:17.680 that or he got the group date Rose on date Rose. 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:21.640 But then we go into one of the people's favorites 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:26.520 so far, mister first impression roseman himself, Greg winked on 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:31.200 a red pickup truck camping tent date with Katie, which 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:35.640 I found one of us one of the sweetest dates 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:39.560 I've ever witnessed. I completely from start to finish, it 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:43.719 was sweet. But no, I think Greg just there's something 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:47.839 about like sharing something really heavy, like a loss of 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:51.000 a parent with somebody else that bonds people in a 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:54.120 specific way. And I think, I mean, it's only it's 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:56.680 week one, it's her first one on one date. I 0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:58.440 mean usually guys who go on the first one on 0:05:58.440 --> 0:05:59.960 one date, it's like tend to make it pretty far, 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:03.119 just because you establish a connection very early on, fresh 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:06.400 out the game. And so I think that in itself, 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:09.520 layered with the fact that they both recently lost their fathers. 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:13.440 I'm like, you know, wow, I've just watched the entire 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:16.120 season unfold, So I like Greg, I'm going to keep 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:18.360 my eye on him. If I was, if I was 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:22.200 a betting woman, I'd say he's going far. I was wrong, 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:25.440 so I probably shouldn't bet. But yeah, then we're getting 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:28.080 into the last state. The buckle brawl nothing like too 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:31.680 wild and crazy. With most of the men besides Aaron 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:35.080 and Cody, which we saw some of that drama happened. 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:38.560 There was obviously tension brewing between the men, which ultimately 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:42.559 led Katie feeling comfortable talking to Aaron, which I'm glad 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:45.159 that she got to that point with him, with somebody 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:48.240 in the group where she could sit down and be like, hey, look, 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:50.040 tell me what's going on. Give it to me straight, 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:55.240 you know, nobs and led her to send Cody home, 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:57.479 which whatever, if she felt like that was the right 0:06:57.520 --> 0:06:59.320 thing to do, like, kudos to her. If she knows 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:01.960 what she wants, she doesn't want to mess around and 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:04.360 deal with extra guys who she has to question this earlier. 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:08.080 And I'm like, send him home, goodbye, goodbye. Agree, That's 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:10.000 what I told her. I was just like, hey, if 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:12.160 this is already a thing nippet in the bud, we 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:14.960 don't have time for that. And she was like, yeah, 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:17.000 I actually don't have time for that. So I'm just 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:20.120 gonna say, tata, you know, wait, can I just say 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:22.360 one thing, like the one thing that kind of like 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:26.360 pulled all my heart strings just a little bit this episode, 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:28.760 give it to me? Of course, you know, I just 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:31.840 have to say, like after watching it, because obviously Caitlyn 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:35.960 and I were there on the Greatest Lover Date, but 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:39.000 to see Mike p like behind the scenes, like how 0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:42.920 much like how nervous he was, but also like how 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:45.560 much he emotionally went through, like having to tell somebody 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:48.480 that he's a virgin like M. That broke my heart 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:51.720 because it really isn't something that like I feel like 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:54.960 people should like be so scared to say. And I 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:59.280 know that Katie sex's positive, but like people like that's 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:02.920 him and like you, and I really hated that he 0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:07.160 felt like I don't know M, like it was something 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:10.360 to almost gotta be not He wasn't ashamed of it 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:12.280 at all, but it was more like he was like 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:16.120 timid to share. Yeah. Well, And I can't speak for 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:18.040 him because I don't know him and I'm not him, 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:21.160 but I can imagine, like it's one thing to know 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:22.640 at some point you're going to have to have that 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:28.080 conversation with whoever the lead is. That's that's expected unless 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:31.320 you go home early on. But I don't think he 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:33.560 and he even admitted this, I don't think he thought 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:36.040 it was going to be that early in that public 0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:38.679 of a setting. It's definitely something if I was him, 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:40.839 I would have wanted to have with just her, But 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:44.000 the way he approached how he actually told her, I 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:47.680 found O My god, so in daring, I like, I'm 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:50.959 so glad she gave him the award to win that 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:54.360 group date that day because he opened up and he 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:58.560 was sweet about it. He made I think he made 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:01.600 it be known like more of who he was and 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:04.199 that you know. Yeah, maybe he didn't want to share it, 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:06.720 but he still did and that takes balls. But maybe 0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:08.360 that's like the wrong phrase to say too right now. 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:10.320 I don't know, but it's like he did it in 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:13.400 such a classy way, like yeah, I just remember being 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:16.440 there and him reading that, you know, his entry, his 0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:20.439 journal entry, and I was crying, Katie was crying. Katl's crying, 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:22.880 Like it was done so beautifully, and I just want 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:24.560 to give him like a round of applause and just 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:28.160 like tell him, like I loved that so much. We're 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:31.880 Mike fans. It was just so genuine and sincere and 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:35.480 so well said, and just I'm so happy he received 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:38.080 the award. Like hopefully that encourages people to like, I 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:42.079 don't know, just okay with that. If that's you, that's you, 0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:44.480 you know, yeah, And it's so great that we're seeing 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:48.760 all ends of the spectrum here from everyone that comes 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:51.760 on the show. You have people who are virgins and 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:54.040 saving themselves, sill marriage and that's great. You have people 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:57.160 who are very open and out there and sex positive 0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:59.280 and that's great, and then you have everyone in between, 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:02.400 and so it's all all somebody's own personal choice. It's 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:04.920 all our own personal journeys to learn and grow on, 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:08.480 and so just allow everyone to be themselves people. And 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:12.360 so Mike, thank you for sharing. I'm so glad that, 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:14.240 you know, we finally got to the point. Hopefully now 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:17.120 now that that's out, he can feel more comfortable in 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:20.120 this setting and you know, being more open and moving 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:24.600 forward with Katie. Yeah, but that was really sweet. So yeah, 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:28.000 I just wanted to anyway. Yeah, Okay, Hey, I'm so 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:31.800 excited for Katie. Yeah, I'm so excited to see what 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:34.120 next week holds. We'll start off, I'm assuming with the 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:37.280 Rose ceremony, because we ended with that cliffhanger, which I hate, 0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:42.160 but I get it. You got to keep us hooked people. So, um, 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:45.600 I think without further ado, we just should bring Katie 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.000 on because I have so many questions for her. I 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:50.439 know you do, and you have definitely built a friendship 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:52.199 with her since then, and it's probably just going to 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:55.240 be great to have you as co host with me 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:57.120 today to help her feel a little bit more comfortable, 0:10:57.240 --> 0:11:03.240 So everybody please welcome the amazing bacherette herself, Katie, Katie, 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:06.200 welcome back to Bachelor Happy Hour. I was trying to 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:08.120 just think about the last time we had you on, 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:11.440 which was in the middle of Matt's season, I think, 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:14.920 like months and months ago, So welcome back. Your life 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:20.040 has completely changed since then, between finishing matt season, watching 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:23.360 his season back, being announced his bachelortte, filming your own season, 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:27.199 and now your season is airing, so much has gone down. 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:29.160 So how have you been feeling throughout all of these 0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:32.720 crazy months. I mean, I'll be honest, like my life 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:36.000 actually feels kind of the same right now, because everything's 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:39.160 like in limbo a little bit, you know, at times, 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:40.880 it also feels like a dream. And so when I 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:43.480 watch it back, I'm like, oh no, this is real life. 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:48.000 This is really happening, Like that stuff actually went down right. 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:53.360 And it's always such an odd experience because obviously you 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:56.240 lived it, like there's so much that you went through 0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:58.920 with these guys and like in your own personal journey, 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:01.520 but now watching it back, there's so much that you 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:04.800 realize you don't see, like you you know, like you're 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:06.880 not with the guys twenty four seven. You're not in 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:10.360 their interviews, So how has that been like watching what 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:13.400 they say about you back, watching what goes down at 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:15.520 the resort when you're not around, Like, what is that 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:20.000 like for you? It's interesting because without giving any spoilers, 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:22.360 some of the things that these guys are saying are 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:26.120 struggling with are like foreshadowing future conflict, and it's like, oh, 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:29.440 that was something they were battling early on, or there 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:31.520 were red flags early on that I never saw, And 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:33.480 so it's just it is very interesting to finally see 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:36.800 like behind the scenes, isn't it. It's it's like I 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:38.959 wish y'all would have told me about that now that 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:41.400 you're watching about it, right, I mean, I know I 0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:43.719 definitely felt like that watching my season back, and I 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:45.679 can only imagine for you because like we all can 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:50.000 relate to some capacity, we all could relate a lot, Okay, 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:52.800 but these guys, I feel like I always thought, like, 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:54.480 why didn't you tell me that? Like it would have 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:59.120 helped us, you know, so I totally understand. Well, that's 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:01.800 why I think it's good that Katie you have Caitlin 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:03.800 and Titia, which I want to ask you about, but 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:07.240 thank goodness you had them, you know, as like this 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:09.800 girl gang, these confidence like that you could lean on 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:12.199 for advice in situations because you know, they went through 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:15.080 the entire thing, and maybe they were picking up or 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:17.560 hearing certain things when you weren't around that they could 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:21.000 have shared with you. Obviously, when they came on, it 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:23.760 was a complete surprise to you. So reliving that back. 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:25.280 What did that feel like for you when you first 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:27.200 saw them, I mean, well, I was gonna say, come 0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:28.439 out of the limit, but they just it's like a 0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:33.360 behind you. I was so shoved, even like I'm reliving 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:36.120 the emotion right now of like this like overwhelming joy 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:38.880 of like thank God these women aren't here, And it 0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:41.400 was nothing I could have ever expected. And I honestly 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:43.360 almost cried, or maybe I even did, I don't remember, 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:45.320 but I was relieved. I was so happy to have 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:50.040 them both there. You took on a big undertaking going 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:52.400 in thinking like you might not have a host, you 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:55.200 might not have anyone there besides the men, and you 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:57.800 know your team of producers there. So I'm so glad 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:00.600 that you guys all had each other to know. I know, 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:03.920 I've talked to both Tatian and Caitlin, who they've had 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:06.200 moments too. I think filming with you that brought back 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:09.400 memories and so I think on all fronts, it was 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:12.920 good that you guys all had each other one thing 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:15.400 that we can all relate to. As Tastia said, you 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:19.160 know more than anything else, is like this experience really 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:21.960 bonds people in a weird way, and nothing can truly 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:24.680 prepare you for the role that is being the lead 0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:28.240 in this franchise. So we're curious to know since we 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:30.480 have you on and I'm sure much of our listeners 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:34.280 have been wondering this too. What we're like, say three 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:39.480 qualities or conversations, etc. That you had going into your season, 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:42.640 knowing you wanted to talk about with the men, whether 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:44.280 it made it on air or not, that like we're 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:48.920 very important to you. You know. It's tough because becoming 0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:51.560 a bachelorte was such a short notice for me that 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:53.920 I almost didn't really have time to plan that way. 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:56.520 You know, Like as I'm there, I'm getting advice from 0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:58.640 Tatia and Caitlin of like exactly that question, like what 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:00.480 do you want to know? And I'm like, I don't know. 0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:02.200 I haven't really thought this far yet I was taking 0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:05.720 it day by day, but obviously kind of knowing I 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:08.080 think what their goals are, like where they see their 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:10.240 life headed in the next year, and trying to figure 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:15.640 out if that's something I can intertwine with man I know, 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:18.720 and like, honestly being that I was there with Katie, 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:21.360 like we had a lot of conversations her I and 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:25.200 Caitlin about like, you know, what are you trying to 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:27.840 get out of this? Also, like she was kind of 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:29.400 stressed out because she's like, I don't know what I'm 0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:31.320 supposed to feel. What I'm supposed to feel, and when 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:33.160 that's like it's going to be very obvious to me, 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:36.200 and why don't I feel this or that yet? And 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:40.120 it's just it's so hard to really tell somebody when 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:43.280 that's going to happen or how you're supposed to feel 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:46.880 or navigate those waters. But it's just it's such a 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:49.480 unique journey that you kind of just have to let 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:55.040 it unfold and try to let go control, which Katie, 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:56.840 I know I've told you multiple times. It's like this 0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:58.120 is the one thing you kind of just have to 0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:00.440 like lean into and it's really really hard to do that. 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:04.320 So I understand the thing of like not knowing exactly 0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:05.840 coming in there and be like, I don't know, I 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:09.160 know that I like this type of man, or like this, this, this, this, this, 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:11.960 but like being able to like pick up a guy 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:13.400 in the line up and be like, yep, you have 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:15.680 it all. It's so hard to do that, even though 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:17.640 you have that option in a way. I mean, you 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:21.640 had thirty minute to choose from what well, and I 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:25.560 think it's so easy for anyone to kind of go 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:30.000 off of what you're physically attracted to, right like they 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:31.760 men are coming out of the limo. It's easy to 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:34.520 be like, oh that's my type, he's hot, Yes, sign 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:36.840 me up for that man. But that's why I loved 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:38.760 Katie when you were able to sit down with tasition 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:40.760 Caitlin and I don't remember which one of you told 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:43.560 her this, but you said one of you said, just 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:46.800 you know, stay open to everyone because they might surprise you, 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:50.120 you know, like, don't write anyone off night one, because 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:53.600 you never know what their personality, what their personality is 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:55.200 going to be, like, what they might open up to 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:58.640 you about. And so so I know that they told 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:00.720 you that night one, Katie, to do you feel like 0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:03.720 throughout these next couple weeks, and I guess throughout the 0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:06.760 entire journey, if you will go, I'm like trying not 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:09.040 to say that word, but throughout your entire journey, did 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:11.679 you keep that in the back of your mind and 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:13.720 try to always like remember that? And you know, like 0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:16.320 if you were trying to write somebody or like at 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:18.000 the point of writing somebody off, you're like, hmm, let 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:19.840 me just give them one more shot, Like how open 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:22.560 do you feel like you stayed the entire time? I 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:25.440 was extremely open with every single guy, which I think 0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:28.440 it would be so obvious, as you know, Batchel Nation 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:31.679 is watching back. I built really strong connections with some 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:33.720 of these guys, friendships with some of them. Like, to 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:36.439 be honest, I'm very excited for mental all because I 0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:38.520 have nothing but great things to say about a lot 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:41.680 of these men. I don't think I've ever heard anyone 0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:49.640 said before. I'm just gonna say that's usually not the case. Yeah, 0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:52.560 it's nerve wracking walking into a room full of all 0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:55.240 of your exes who you just recently broke up with 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:58.320 and you're just like, oh, it's I mean, it's fun, 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:00.840 and a lot of them like for the most part 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:02.719 like the guys are great. I don't know your men. 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:05.080 I can only assume going off of past seasons, like 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:07.520 they'll wish you the best and want you nothing but happiness. 0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:10.000 But it's a little nerve wracking. So thank god you 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:12.080 have Carrie to style you, and you have Gina to 0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:14.840 make you look flawless when you're out there in front 0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:18.879 of all those exes. But okay, let's get into the 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:22.439 good stuff. Um, we need to get into I mean, 0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:25.760 we've obviously seen now two episodes, but there's so much 0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:28.159 more that I'm sure it's going to go down in 0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:31.600 the weeks and the months to come. So getting into 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:34.600 night one, obviously, you know, one of the biggest surprises 0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:36.720 I'm sure you had were Caitlin and Tasia coming in 0:18:36.760 --> 0:18:42.840 and surprising you. But Limo entrances, what was your absolute 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:46.159 favorite and what was your least favorite? I feel like 0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:50.919 that so obvious. My favorite was Connor the cat like, 0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:55.520 hands down, without a doubt. My least favorite was definitely 0:18:55.600 --> 0:19:00.240 the RV which but was it your least favorite at 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:04.919 first or when he brought you in later? Um, I 0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:06.880 think in the beginning I had a feeling I wasn't 0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:08.480 gonna like it, so I was already going into a 0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:11.200 flute expectation, and then when I was in the RVY, 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:12.960 I was like, oh yeah, I would yes, is not 0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:18.760 it as he's eating celery and just has like crappling 0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:21.480 all over. I was selling tato this last week, like 0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:23.600 murdering me and like taking me a drink and go 0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:26.200 to the bedroom. Like he's like jokes, Like, I don't 0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:29.120 know how you're joking, sir. If you want to know what, 0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:33.240 I weirdly love like true crime and weird shit like 0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:35.080 that's so I feel like I would have kind of 0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:37.480 been like into it a little bit in a weird way. 0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:41.000 So that's probably not a good thing, and you probably 0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:45.240 should cut that habit, like now okay, Like I would 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:47.120 have just been like given him shit like oh yeah, 0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:49.560 I heard this on like a crime podcast last week, 0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:51.199 or I just watched a documentary and the girl got 0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:53.879 murdered and like, great, would you sign me up for ABC? 0:19:54.040 --> 0:19:56.119 You know, like just I don't right it would I 0:19:56.119 --> 0:19:59.359 would have had some fun with it. Um, oh my gosh. 0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:01.560 I just had a watching about the RV thing and 0:20:01.560 --> 0:20:05.040 I totally forgot um oh my gosh. We can move 0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:10.360 on from that. I guarantee. It was so interesting though, 0:20:10.440 --> 0:20:14.240 watching you meet the men and then having Kaitlyn and 0:20:14.280 --> 0:20:16.400 Titia watching in the background, because I feel like there 0:20:16.400 --> 0:20:20.120
