31
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: somebody started being disrespectful, we're gonna be honest. That was

32
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 2: locked up in major point and I was like, that's

33
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 2: that's the guy right there.

34
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,920

35
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,399

00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: to do? What was your what was your initial limo entrance.

96
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 2: How did they know about this?

97
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: I know all all right, I have my sources.

98
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: So initially I wanted to get dropped off into an

99
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 2: ambulance still wearing the hospital gown. And then I wanted

100
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 2: to get out with like an ivy drip, so like

101
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: the walking ivy bags, and I was gonna put a

102
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 2: bag of wine on there. Was gonna make her slap

103
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 2: the bag of wine and then take a poll with me,

104
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 2: and then that would be the introduction into the night.

105
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 3: But that is sick. I can't believe they didn't let

106
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 3: you do that.

107
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,600

Speaker 2: The crazy way to start a night off, But it's fun.

115
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 3: That's so fun. Okay.

116
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 4: So they toned it back a little bit, face bandages, gurney,

117
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 4: a little less jarring, no needles involved. Was your butt

118
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 4: being out originally part of the plan? I honestly don't remember, Like,

119
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 4: were you, Like, I really want to show up a

120
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 4: little bit naked. How did the gown come into play

121
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 4: and were you comfort with the idea of your cheeks

122
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 4: being out?

123
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, I mean it was more like either go

124
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 2: half in or full in. And I'm like, I'm already

125
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 2: going in a hospital gown wrapped in gauze, and everybody

126
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 2: else is wearing a suit. I might as well go

127
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 2: all out, so show up, cheeks out and hope for

128
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 2: the best. It was, Honestly, it was like fifty degrees

129
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 2: that night. It was too Yeah, you're the row ceremony,

130
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 2: You're nervous as hell, but you're also like like frozen.

131
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 2: So you said they're shaking, and everybody around you just like, dude, relaxed.

132
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 2: It's not that bad. Like maybe not for you, but

133
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 2: I've been naked all night.

134
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: Were you worried at all by by covering up your face?

135
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: Jen would just kind of pain you know, no mind,

136
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: I guess.

137
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 2: No. I think the the problem is that I think

138
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 2: I had the opposite reaction for what I was going for.

139
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 2: It was more or less like everybody built up hYP

140
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 2: hype around like me being like this like immaculately beautiful

141
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 2: person underneath, and I'm like, guys, whoa not the point. Yeah,

142
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 2: and you guys are severely disappointed when I think this

143
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 2: all like, I'm not bad looking, but I'm not some

144
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 2: adonis that you guys are going to freak out about.

145
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 2: So I think there was a lot of like.

146
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: He's so beautiful, we can't look away.

147
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, literally, But for Jen No, I think she saw

148
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 2: it and she was just like curious, what's under there?

149
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 2: So when it came to her, I think plan went

150
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 2: exactly as it was supposed to. But the guys for

151
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 2: hours on it that night, like just like a peak,

152
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 2: like what do you look like under there?

153
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: Yeah?

154
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 4: I feel like the curiosity also adds to it. Even

155
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 4: with Jen, she's passing you in the hall, so she's

156
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 4: talking to guys probably be like, what does this guy

157
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 4: look like?

158
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think the group photo is the funniest part, though.

159
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 2: You've seen where we're always standing on the stairs and

160
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 2: the gen's in the middle and everybody's just dressed up

161
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 2: to the nines, and I'm just.

162
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 4: I know, I always feel bad for the people that

163
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 4: come in in costume because you don't change the whole night,

164
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 4: and it's the longest night of the season and you're

165
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 4: stuck wearing that.

166
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

167
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, but honestly, I almost feel like, yeah, if it

168
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: wasn't as cold that it's probably more comfortable than a

169
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: suit except for the face gauze or oh yeah that.

170
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 2: Was started getting a headache.

171
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, honestly, I feel like when we were at the

172
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 4: mental they showed your entrance again and it kind of

173
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 4: just jogged our memory of like the cheeky line and

174
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 4: how you delivered it and everything, and now even just

175
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 4: hearing what your original crazy idea was for your entrance,

176
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 4: I feel like we didn't get to see that side

177
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 4: of you really for the rest of the season. We

178
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 4: saw playful moments between you and Jem, but I feel

179
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 4: like a lot of the moments that we saw of

180
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 4: you were a lot more serious.

181
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

182
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 3: Do you feel like your personality shine through?

183
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 2: Yes and no. You know, I I try to treat everybody.

184
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 2: It's respectful and as nice as possible, and like, that's

185
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 2: one facet of my personality for sure. People please are

186
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 2: through and through. But on the flip side of that,

187
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 2: you know, there's the goofy, weird, outgoing like doesn't really

188
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 2: care what people think side where it's like I'm just

189
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 2: gonna go out there and have fun. And do what

190
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 2: I do, and maybe that wasn't touched on as much,

191
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 2: and I think that's probably part of the reason I

192
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 2: was there as long as I was. You know, Jen

193
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: is very much like that. But yeah, I mean it's

194
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 2: definitely something that I think people should know a little

195
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 2: bit more about. But I think I do a good

196
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 2: job on my social media kind of showing people that

197
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 2: side as well. You know, you have this representation of

198
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 2: like who I am, but that's one side. You know,

199
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 2: there's multiple other and one That's what Paradise will be

200
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 2: great for is kind of getting to show people like

201
00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 2: that well rounded person that I can be. Yeah, I

202
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 2: mean I'm not. I still think I was represented really well.

203
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 1: And I think, yeah, I think I think I think

204
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: at the beginning we see a lot of like fun

205
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: clips with you and Jen, I think it I think

206
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: when things started just getting more serious, because they had

207
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: to get more serious, we started hearing more of your

208
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,959
Speaker 1: story and just kind of I think like your whole

209
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,599
Speaker 1: thing was in relationships. It was kind of like I

210
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: kind of get my own way. Yeah, and do you

211
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: do you believe that?

212
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 2: Is that a thing big time? And I think over

213
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 2: the last few years, you know, I think a lot

214
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 2: of people are guilty of it, and you kind of

215
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 2: hold these fears from your past over the present, and

216
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 2: it's like that person doesn't deserve that, but it's inevitable.

217
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 2: You can't really help yourself. And at the end, like

218
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 2: right when I went home, you know, I was just

219
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 2: those tears and those feelings were real because I'm like,

220
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 2: you know, I'm over it, Like I'm tired of not

221
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 2: letting people all the way in or missing out an

222
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 2: opportunity that's so great wasbody just because I'm afraid of

223
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 2: what happened in the past when that person has no

224
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 2: correlation to that person that did you wrong or anything

225
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 2: along those lines. So yeah, it was just it was

226
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 2: a breaking point for me that was very real. And

227
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 2: I think it's one of those things that people don't

228
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 2: tell you on the show that while it is fast,

229
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 2: it also makes you process things really fast as well. Like, yes,

230
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 2: it's it feels rushed, but when you are in it,

231
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 2: it's it's not.

232
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 3: I mean, you guys, yeah, you.

233
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 2: Guys, You guys want to do it. You guys ended

234
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 2: up together after a month, truly.

235
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: Do you think you were doing that though with Jen

236
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: or do you think you were somewhat breaking that habit

237
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: during this season.

238
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 2: I honestly, the first three weeks were a lot of

239
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 2: like self growth, Yeah, And I was like, I'm gonna

240
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 2: be the most fun I can be here, so that

241
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 2: she just wants to be around that fun, free energy.

242
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 2: You know. I think everybody's coming in trying to like

243
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 2: trauma dump on you and tell you all their problems

244
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 2: and tell you this and that, and like try to

245
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 2: find this profound love with you, like off the rip,

246
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 2: And I was like, I'm not doing that. I'm not

247
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 2: doing that to her. I don't operate like that in

248
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 2: the real world. I'm not going to do it here.

249
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 2: So when I got there, I was just like, I'm

250
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 2: going to be the best me I can be, but

251
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 2: also figure some things out so by the time we

252
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 2: need to start getting deeper and things get further on

253
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 2: or like good to go and I can share those

254
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 2: things with you.

255
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 1: So Jen ends up you you make it to hometowns,

256
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: Were you ready at that point for Jen to meet

257
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: your family? Like would you think you were fully ready

258
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: or do you think it's just if you're there you

259
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: like her, you know, let's go with that.

260
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 2: That's always a tough one for me because there's I

261
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 2: think there's like layers to introducing people in my family,

262
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 2: Like my mom is like the most fun person on

263
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 2: planet Earth. Like I would bring a stranger to me

264
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 2: and my mom just to be like, hey, like have

265
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 2: fun and you probably take us like paddleboarding, surfing, snowboarding,

266
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 2: like whatever. I think in that moment, you know, it's

267
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 2: it's one of those again, it's a it's a fast experience.

268
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 2: So you're bring somebody home to meet your mom and

269
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 2: you're like, hey, we have a really strong bond. Bringing

270
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,599
Speaker 2: them home was or bringing them bringing gen home was

271
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 2: nerve wracking for sure, but it was exciting seeing like

272
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 2: this world that you've been living in kind of meet

273
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 2: your actual reality and the both just mesh together super well.

274
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 2: It's it's like one of those reassuring things that you

275
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 2: kind of need to see just because it's hard to

276
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 2: break out of that like, hey, I'm on a shell

277
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 2: mindset to this is my reality mindset, So nervous, a

278
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 2: little bit more excited than anything.

279
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: Now, where is your head at when you leave your

280
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: family's house as far as getting down on one knee

281
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: and engage you think you're there?

282
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 2: No? Absolutely not, no, okay, no, not at that point.

283
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 2: At that point, you know, I got a lot of

284
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 2: clarity that I was looking for, and which was hearing

285
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 2: that I'm on the right path with the right girl,

286
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 2: and my family, who knows me pretty well, can see

287
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 2: that there's a future with this girl. You know, I'm

288
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 2: not just in this like headspace and this social experiment

289
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 2: that you kind of like think about. You're like, oh, okay,

290
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 2: these people actually see you with the girl you're with,

291
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 2: And from that point on, I was like, all right,

292
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 2: I'm not crazy for having the feelings that I do.

293
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 2: It's time to actually jump in.

294
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 4: Well, your brother and your sister in law seems like

295
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 4: met and moved very very quickly, So it must have

296
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 4: kind of helped when you're coming in knowing this girl

297
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 4: for a few weeks saying you might get engaged. Yeah, right,

298
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 4: Like they kind of like broke that barrier with your

299
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 4: family a little bit.

300
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, I agree one hundred percent. And I don't

301
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 2: talk to them as much as I would like to.

302
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 2: But seeing them and kind of hearing their story and

303
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 2: filling me in on it in that moment was also

304
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 2: exactly what I needed to hear, you know, I think,

305
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 2: especially for the show wise too. Like obviously the opening

306
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 2: scene was them saying, we met on Tinder after three weeks,

307
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 2: we said I love you, and it's just a direct

308
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 2: correlation to how possible it actually is. So that was

309
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 2: a really special moment too.

310
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 4: Did you know all that before hearing them talk about

311
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:36,479
Speaker 4: like the timeline of their relationship?

312
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah. I thought my sister in law was nuts

313
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 2: when I first met her. Really, she came back after

314
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 2: like three dates and she her and my brother were

315
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 2: drunk and she just comes back. She's like, Johnny, need

316
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 2: to talk to you. For a second. I was like, okay, yeah,

317
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 2: what's going on? And she's just like, I love your

318
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 2: brother and I'm going to prove that to you day

319
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 2: in and day out for as long as it takes.

320
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 2: And I'm like, you're crazy. Just went to the movies.

321
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 2: I thought, like, the hell is going on? Like why

322
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 2: did you telling me this? I don't like to prove

323
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 2: to me your love after three dates? I already think

324
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 2: you're nuts for saying it. But like you know, once

325
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 2: you get into that mindset and you meet somebody like that,

326
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 2: you're like, oh, okay, maybe they're not as crazy as

327
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 2: I thought.

328
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you okay? So moving along you go, you know,

329
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: you make it the fantasy suite. You guys do do

330
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: fantasy suites anything? Any Like, I don't know any conversations

331
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: in there that really just helped.

332
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 3: Where am I going to solidify your feelings for Jenny?

333
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 2: It's it's kind of crazy because I don't think I

334
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 2: took time off camera to ask the kind of questions

335
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 2: that push the relationship. So like you're at cocktail parties,

336
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 2: you're at the road ceremonies, you're at whatever it might be,

337
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 2: that's the time to ask those questions. You know. When

338
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 2: I actually got down to the moment of being at

339
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 2: a when I was at Fantasy, I actually just stopped

340
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 2: and I was like, how are you? Like, I just

341
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 2: want to know how you're doing, How are you with everything?

342
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 2: How has this process been for you? How are you

343
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 2: as a person? Like, how are you really? I just

344
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 2: want to know that. I want to know how you're doing,

345
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 2: and I want to talk about things you enjoy, things

346
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 2: you don't enjoy, Like tell me it without having to

347
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 2: worry about maybe getting caught slipping up or saying the

348
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 2: wrong thing for a second. That's all I want to

349
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 2: get to know. So I kind of took the fantasy seats,

350
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 2: I took the fantasy suite time to really just ask

351
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 2: those kind of questions.

352
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: Did you did you have any idea durry fantasy suites

353
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: or after where the other guys were in their relationship

354
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: with her m.

355
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 2: I didn't fully know. Well, no, and it's I mean,

356
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 2: you're separated from from all the guys at this point.

357
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 2: You know, there's only three of us left.

358
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: Yes, you guys don't really, you guys don't even you

359
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: don't even get to talk or feel it out.

360
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 2: No, yeah, no, But I think based on our process

361
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 2: and the way Jen and I kind of handle ourselves

362
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,959
Speaker 2: up until that point, you know, every week I went

363
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 2: into each Rod ceremony very confident. I was like, you

364
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 2: know what, it would be kind of weird if I

365
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 2: went home like we just had an amazing conversation, in

366
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 2: my opinion, like things felt so great, Like it just

367
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 2: would have felt like you get home, you get sent

368
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,360
Speaker 2: home for that, Like she must be like already saying

369
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 2: she's in love with somebody if I'm getting sent home

370
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 2: for that. But then it got to this point, and

371
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 2: you know, I think that just felt different. This is

372
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 2: the first Rod ceremony I walked into and I was like,

373
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:47,360
Speaker 2: you know, what's probably.

374
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: Me, Like really you thought that?

375
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 2: I thought that, And I think it's just like I

376
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 2: think there was an X factor missing, And especially watching

377
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 2: it back, I mean you can kind of see it

378
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 2: like she's confessing her love for Marcus and Devin's saying

379
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 2: that he's in love with her, and I'm sitting there

380
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 2: in this middle ground with her where like everything's great,

381
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 2: it's fun, like we have no issues with each other,

382
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 2: no drama, Like it's just free, it's easy. But that

383
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 2: next step isn't there.

384
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, and your fantasy Suite day kicked off with you

385
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 4: saying she doesn't know me well enough for me to

386
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 4: feel ready to propose. And I feel like there was

387
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 4: a large contrast between like that kind of setting the

388
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 4: tone of where you guys were at at that point

389
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 4: in the journey and then seeing where the other two

390
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 4: were at. It must have brought a lot of kind

391
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 4: of clarity and reassurance watching the episode back.

392
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 2: Honestly a ton, you know, seeing the other two's relationship

393
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 2: gave me all like the reassurance and clarity that I

394
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 2: needed to see that it wasn't just like that. I

395
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:59,719
Speaker 2: couldn't get there, because that's very hard on yourself to

396
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,959
Speaker 2: just sit like it's your fault, like you couldn't get there,

397
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:03,719
Speaker 2: you couldn't do this, you can do that. But then

398
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 2: you see her relationship with these other two guys and

399
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 2: you're like, Okay, now this makes sense, Like she clearly

400
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 2: has so much love for Marcus and like that is

401
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 2: a part of where her head's at. That just like

402
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 2: really shows us that she was able to get there.

403
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 2: And on the flip side, you have Devin, who was

404
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 2: just able to get there so quick. You know, I

405
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 2: think he got feelings for her faster than anybody. And

406
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 2: seeing that it just wasn't there was me just being like, Okay,

407
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 2: that's the closure of being like what it wasn't you,

408
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 2: it wasn't her, It was just it just wasn't right.

409
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 1: Yeah.

410
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 4: Did you ever think about going into fantasy suites or

411
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 4: at any point in fantasy suites being like, so, what's

412
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 4: the deal here? Like who's going home this week?

413
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: That's what I would do?

414
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 4: Door shuts, cameras off. All right, buddy, what's what?

415
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 1: Where's your at?

416
00:20:58,760 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 3: Just be straight with me.

417
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 4: Neither of us ever ended up in a fantasy speak

418
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 4: with anyone but each other. But did you ever think like, oh,

419
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 4: should I just like ask her like she might know,

420
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 4: she might have an idea, ask her where her head's at,

421
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 4: and like push her for a straight answer, or does

422
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 4: it feel awkward? And like because I could also see

423
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 4: them in a bad position.

424
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: To do that and it goes south like then you

425
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 1: kind of look like a nosy prick.

426
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 4: I think it's kind of fair to be a nosy

427
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 4: prick in this environment a little bit at times.

428
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 2: For me, that's kind of where I would go with it.

429
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 2: It's it's kind of weird.

430
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 5: To ask, you know, it feels inappropriate right like you're

431
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 5: starting to get feelings to somebody and like you've known

432
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,719
Speaker 5: each other that long, be like, hey, are you in

433
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 5: love with somebody else?

434
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 2: Like it sounds valid, but in the moment, you're just

435
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 2: like this doesn't feel You're.

436
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 3: Like I feel like a douchebag.

437
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 2: Overseeing Yeah, almost like hey, can I look at your

438
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 2: phone really quick to see like how everything like in mind,

439
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 2: you just don't do that. And for me, I was

440
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 2: just like, I'm not going to ask.

441
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 3: And that's a good comparison. That makes sense.

442
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 4: The phone comparison like that that makes sense when you

443
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 4: put it that way, like a violation of privacy asked

444
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 4: that question.

445
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 2: It almost feels as if though too, and like Joe said,

446
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 2: like it's like you can fall in your face. It

447
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 2: feels like you just like are like insecuring your guys'

448
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 2: relationship almost to where it's like, oh, you have to ask,

449
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 2: like you don't believe in not strong enough whether it's

450
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 2: true or not true. It's a fifty to fifty shot there.

451
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 2: So it's like I could either hit big and she'd

452
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 2: be like, oh my god, you are in game for me,

453
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 2: like I love you so much, or it's like a

454
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 2: oh well and then you're like yeah, and.

455
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 3: Then you're stuck in the room with them the rest

456
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 3: of the night.

457
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, well this is awkward. Now it's like go

458
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 2: somewhere else.

459
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, you never. I don't think you want to put

460
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 1: yourself in a position where if you say something like

461
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: it could just totally destroy your chances of being the one.

462
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 1: I guess.

463
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 4: But I mean you'd have to be like pretty confident

464
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 4: it was you to be asking that question, I guess,

465
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 4: because the other alternative it's not you, is just it's

466
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 4: not really a risk you want to take.

467
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 1: Jonathan, when you went home. Obviously you're going through like

468
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: your whole journey and your feelings and hers and your

469
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: relationship and you're probably you know, running it all back.

470
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 1: But in that moment, who do you think she's going

471
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: to choose? Do you have an opinion.

472
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 2: At that point?

473
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, like did you go home and you're like, Okay,

474
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: well it's not me. I think she's choosing. It's probably Devin.

475
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's so tough. I don't know, like if it

476
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 2: came down to like a me and Marcus, because we're

477
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 2: very similar individuals, I don't know, like, oh, it's definitely Marcus,

478
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 2: but you know, I think it was like weeding out

479
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 2: the two options at the end, Like him and I

480
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 2: are very similar, but she had more feelings for Marcus,

481
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 2: so that would be the placeholder for that, And then

482
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 2: there's Devin, And I feel like to an extent, she

483
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 2: has like this like unspoken draw towards Devin, you know

484
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 2: that she's always had and we all know he's got

485
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:30,239
Speaker 2: a silver tongue, like yeah, you can talk left and

486
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 2: right in circles wherever, but he means what he says.

487
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 2: And I think Jen saw that really early on, and

488
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 2: you know, he was getting first roses repeatedly. You know,

489
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,479
Speaker 2: so I'm sitting I'm sitting here against guys that are

490
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 2: getting first roses two to one on ones, and I'm

491
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:49,679
Speaker 2: just kind.

492
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 1: Of like, yeah, yeah, yeah.

493
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 4: It's interesting because some seasons the contestants will come off

494
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 4: the show and be like we all knew, like they

495
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 4: liked this person, or like, you know, like we knew

496
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 4: like these two or three were like way ahead of

497
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 4: everyone else, or like it was very obvious. And I

498
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 4: feel like I don't know exactly how Jen was, but

499
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 4: just kind of based on your answer and also what

500
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 4: we've seen, she seems to be good at concealing.

501
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 3: Like the direction of her heart.

502
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 4: Like every week at Rose Samonies, it could kind of

503
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 4: go a bunch of different.

504
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 3: Ways, it feels like, at least for us as viewers.

505
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 4: So it makes an interesting season when it's kind of

506
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 4: hard to tell.

507
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: Well, we we interviewed you live at the mentel all,

508
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: but just to touch on the mental all a little

509
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: bit overall, what were your thoughts on on the whole

510
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,479
Speaker 1: I guess the whole the whole night, a little bit

511
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 1: of the drama, and then just like Jen coming back.

512
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,679
Speaker 2: Whole night itself. You know, I kind of spoke on

513
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 2: it a little bit earlier, but like I didn't partake

514
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 2: in it of the drama really throughout the season. I

515
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 2: wasn't going to start that night. You know, it's a

516
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 2: lot of grown men making a lot of noise that

517
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 2: leads to literally nothing, and I have zero energy to

518
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 2: put in that direction. I want to talk about positive things.

519
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 2: I want to talk about people's wins, their victories, the

520
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:22,719
Speaker 2: good things in life. I don't want to sit here

521
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 2: and talk about who brought a stupid book and who

522
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 2: didn't read it. Like I don't care. Ye, Like we're established,

523
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 2: we're twenty eight plus years old. Like you, giving a

524
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 2: guy that hates you a book isn't going to change

525
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 2: his mindset on life, Like he's he knows who he is,

526
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 2: he likes who he is. You can offer advice, but

527
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 2: it's not the end all be all. And then outside

528
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,919
Speaker 2: of that, you know, I think specifically too for like

529
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 2: sam Am, you know, he had hit a rough go

530
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 2: at it the last couple episodes, and I don't think

531
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 2: he was able to really articulate what he was trying

532
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 2: to say very well at all. I mean we all

533
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 2: kind of saw him fumble his words at the radio show,

534
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 2: and then when he came on at the mental health

535
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 2: he spoke very clear, very concise, and for me personally,

536
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 2: like I'll never fall to man for trying to be better,

537
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 2: you know, And you could tell in the genuineness of

538
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 2: like what he was saying that he really wanted to

539
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 2: do better and he really reflected on like what it

540
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,360
Speaker 2: was that had went wrong. So when he went out there,

541
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 2: spokeus truth, spocused feelings, and was able to actually articulate it.

542
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 2: This time, I was I was proud of the man

543
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 2: he's trying to become moving forward from what he saw.

544
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 2: So that was all really good and seeing Jen. Seeing

545
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 2: Jen was great. You know, we started off our relationship

546
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 2: as friends. We just had fun. We're like best friends

547
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 2: that kissed, you know, like it was it was one

548
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 2: of those kinds of the relationships. But then you take

549
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 2: away the kissing and we're still just friends at the

550
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 2: end of the day. So seeing her, you had nothing

551
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:00,919
Speaker 2: but great things to say to her, told her I

552
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 2: was proud of her.

553
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: Did it feel did it feel did it feel right

554
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 1: like where you guys are at. Did it make sense?

555
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, I think it's it's okay there. Yeah, there

556
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 2: was no bad blood, bad intentions, bad anything. I just

557
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 2: wanted to wish her the best, and I don't know

558
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 2: how it ends, but hopefully she's happier than ever. I

559
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 2: still feel a compliment her way. I told her she

560
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 2: liked Ca Cass in her dress and brought up this

561
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 2: like list of three dresses that she'd like. Kept going.

562
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,400
Speaker 2: I know, we talked about it in the last Yeah,

563
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 2: brought that up was like my last, my last little

564
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 2: compliment to her. But it's good.

565
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 4: Nice, Well, Jonathan, we appreciate you coming on and chatting

566

00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's crazy to get that. I don't know. I

573
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 2: wish somebody gave me a heads up. And I was

574
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 2: sitting there with my jaw on the floor while everyone

575
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 2: is cheering, and I was like, I don't even know

576
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 2: if I officially confirmed, but I think I said I'll

577
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 2: see you on the beach, Jesse, so we'll see.

578
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: All the other guys had to work much harder. They

579
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: were the ones.

580
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, they made a chemt a spiders to make you

581
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 4: do anything I do.

582
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 2: Is walk out and smile and say yes.

583
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, that's the way to do it.

584
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 3: Is there anyone.

585
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:31,959
Speaker 4: Any girls that you would want to see down there

586
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 4: or anyone from your season that you'd want to brow

587
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 4: out with on the beach.

588
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 2: As far as the broout part, no, only reason it's

589
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 2: just because the purpose isn't to bro out, Like if

590
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 2: I I have amazing friends from there, like I love

591
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 2: Jeremy Spencer, Marcus, like Devin. I love all of those guys.

592
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 2: But you know, first of all, one of those two

593
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 2: last guys, probably with Jen, could be a Jen. I

594
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 2: don't know, so we'll see. But as far as the

595
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 2: other ones, like I would have a good time with

596
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 2: whoever's there girl wise, I don't know. I haven't seen

597
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 2: enough of the seasons. I just I kind of want

598
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 2: to go in open minded and just see what comes in.

599
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 2: I don't want to put too much of like a

600
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 2: pressure on somebody or something and just have this big

601
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,479
Speaker 2: idea of who it is I'm looking for and then

602
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 2: it ruins something good that's right in front of me.

603
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: Probably not have conversations through d MS or try to

604
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: keep those minimal.

605
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:34,719
Speaker 2: That's what I keep hearing, and I will avoid batorination.

606
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 4: Because is like the show, well it works, but for

607
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 4: the most part it does.

608
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: The show also does a pretty good job. And now

609
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 1: that there's been a full season or at ice, like,

610
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 1: you never know who's going to.

611
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 3: Be down there, There's going to be a large amount

612
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 3: of people to choose to do.

613
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 1: It's like you don't want to start some ship with

614
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: someone and then end up meeting somebody that you actually

615
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: really like in paradise and then that comes and potentially

616
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: fucks up the beginning of a relationship.

617
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 4: So it's also like a year until filming. So like

618
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 4: I mean, if you get into a relationship, that's obviously

619
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 4: the goal.

620
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: Just just your best to behave out there.

621
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 4: Let's play this game, Okay, So the game is just

622
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 4: my type with Jonathan, rapid fire questions, all easy fun.
