1
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: Welcome you guys to Bachelor Happy Hour. We have an

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: exciting episode for you today, and exciting that might be

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 1: an adjective that is a little bit of an understatement,

4
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: because last week, like we do, we brought to you

5
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: Claire and Dale Dale. Do you watch for our Housewives

6
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 1: of New York. It's been a while, but I tried

7
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: to catch up when I can. Okay, The reason I

8
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: say that is because Tinsley's mom is named Dale, and

9
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 1: she says Dale. And if anybody listens to Danny Pellegrino,

10
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: shout out to Danny Pellegrino, who we all know and love.

11
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: He covers Bravo and he always says Dale. And because

12
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 1: people have teased the way that I say his name,

13
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: because I say Dell like Microsoft Dell, I am emphasizing

14
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: the Dale in all of this and I and I've

15
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: stole that from Danny Pellegrino. So, as you know, we

16
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: talked to Claire and Dale and we celebrated their love

17
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: and their happiness. So today we are bringing on another bachelorette,

18
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: and we're not going to pit them against each other.

19
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: Not one is better than the other. This isn't number one,

20
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: and this isn't number two. This isn't the OG and

21
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 1: this isn't the new This is just two bachelorettes, two beautiful,

22
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: strong women who we are so excited to see carry

23
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: the torch as the next Bacherette. And so today we

24
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: have Tasia Adams on the podcast and this is a

25
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: pretty significant moment. And this is a significant moment because

26
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: this is a season, not just a year, but this

27
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: is a season like no other where we have seen

28
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: Claire come in do exactly what it is that we want,

29
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,199
Speaker 1: find the happy ending, even if it's been an unprecedented

30
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: amount of time, and now we have someone else stepping

31
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: into those shoes. Tasia's going to carry on the torch

32
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: and get her own journey of love in all of this,

33
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: and we're so excited for it because one we haven't

34
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: seen it before and two these bacherettes are so different

35
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: and the viewers are going to get to get so

36
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: much in this season. It's a jam pack season for

37
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: all the right reasons. Dare I say yeah, No, jam

38
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: packed is definitely the way. That is definitely the way

39
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: to put it, because I mean, last week we were

40
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: finally able to introduce Tasia as our new official Bachelorette,

41
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: and you know, like you said, we kept saying allegedly

42
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: or like oh, I don't know. And the fact that

43
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: we can finally just admit it and be like, yeah,

44
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: we were there, we helped host states and met with her,

45
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: it feels so good. So I can only imagine how

46
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: good it finally feels to be Tatia. So this week

47
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: we have our first full Tasia Adams episode, and to

48
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: be honest, even though some of the guys are the same,

49
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: it feels like we're watching a completely different season and Rachel,

50
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: like you said, since this is something totally new and

51
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: foreign too the Bachelor world, we naturally have a lot

52
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: of questions. I'm sure our followers and listeners have a

53
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: ton of questions as well, and so we see your

54
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: dms in your comments and so hopefully we can get

55
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: through as many as we can today because there is

56
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: quite a lot, and I can't wait to to the

57
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: woman herself, Tasha Adams. Yes, And this is what's so

58
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 1: great about this podcast, you guys, is because there's so

59
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: much to unpack in this podcast that we're not going

60
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: to take all your your entire day, right, we could

61
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: talk on and on for hours and hours and hours,

62
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: But let's be honest, who has time for all of that?

63
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: Even we don't have time for all of that. So

64
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: what's great about this episode is that with Tasha, there's

65
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: so much to talk about. So today we're gonna do

66
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: an interview and we're gonna talk to Tasha and we're

67
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: gonna talk about all the things that come with her

68
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: being the next Bachelorette. But we're not going to end

69

71
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: and we're gonna pass that baton to Clickbait because we

72
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: all know that Tasha is a host on a podcast

73
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: called Clickbait, and so we're going to carry this conversation

Speaker 1: to baud Short, Happy or now, like having you on again.

90
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: I think we had you on before I was ever

91
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: even announced as co host for Happy Hour last year,

92
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: like you had just gotten out of your breakup with

93
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: JPJ and we had you on and it was my

94
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: first episode. So I feel like we've come from the circle.

95
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: So welcome. Thank you. I know that podcast was so

96
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: long ago. We were talking about the possibility and oh

97
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: my gosh, So yeah, should you say thank you to

98
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: us that we manifested those habitants. I didn't even realize

99
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: we did that, honestly, Yeah, y'all put it in the universe,

100
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: so I will say thank you. So we just thirnase

101
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 1: and we're like, is there anything else in your future?

102
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: I don't even how did you answer? At that point,

103
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 1: I said, I don't know. And honestly, it's so funny

104
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: because I remember you guys were asking, like, so if

105
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: you got the phone call, would you take it? And

106
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 1: I took like maybe fifteen seconds instead of eight and

107
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: Rachel's like, no, no, no, you gotta answer that shit

108
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: real quick. And I was like, Okay, yeah, I would

109
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: take it. Yeah, you gotta take it. Anybody who says

110
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 1: they don't know is absolutely lye like, you have to

111
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: take this opportunity if it happens for you. And I

112
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: think that's a good place to start because there's a

113
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: lot of speculation out there when it comes to bastination,

114
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: and I like, I liked that on this podcast we

115
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: clear things up. So I don't want like dates and times,

116
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: but in that sense, but I think it's important to

117
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: know when did you not when did you get the call,

118
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: but how long before you got the call and before

119
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: you said yes and you were on your way to

120
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: Palm Springs, Like how much time did you have basically

121
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 1: to get ready one night? I mean, in a perfect

122
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: bachelor world, according to them, it would have been I

123
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: was on like I would be in the car an

124
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: hour after my conversation with them, they were hoping I

125
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: would leave that day, but I actually said I needed

126
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: to think about it, and I need to talk to

127
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: my parents. I need to take a minute, just because

128
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: the way I was entering the bachelorette space was very unconventional,

129
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: very true to twenty twenty. But I was taking on

130
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: a little bit more than I think vous bachelorettes have

131
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: um in a sense that there was somebody before me,

132
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: and I was going to ask the guys to not

133
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: only remove themselves from that headspace, but then take me

134
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: on and see if they were willing to be open.

135
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: So to answer your question, it was probably about that's

136
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: quicker than I thought. I mean, that's giving it a

137
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: little bit time. So yeah, for eight hours and then

138
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: I closed, like sleep and all that kind of stuff.

139
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: And that was only because I'm like, you guys that

140
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: need to go to CBS and you get my little necessities.

141
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, I need to run again and do some airs.

142
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: I gotta go to Chart hold you up. And they're like, hey,

143
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: we had to switch a room. Can you do this?

144
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: We need you? Like what was running through your brain?

145
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: Because I'm sure you didn't expect to see Chris or

146
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: whoever's calling you at night, being like, Hi, can we

147
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: have you as about charette? So what was going through?

148
00:07:55,600 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: What was your thought process? It's so funny because that

149
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: exact day, I was literally on the phone call with

150
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: my best friend. I was like, you know what, SCREWT.

151
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: I'm over this year. I'm over quarantining, I'm over everything,

152
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: Like I have nothing tying me down. I'm literally going

153
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,559
Speaker 1: to go to John Wayne Airport tomorrow get a first

154
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: flight out to anywhere because I can. No one can

155
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: stop me. And I'm like, I'm just over everything. And

156
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: I actually postmate it some donuts straight to my bed.

157
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: I read a book eight Donuts in bed. And the

158
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: next thing, you know, I got a phone call from

159
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: an EP And every time I see that name pop

160
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 1: up on my phone, I'm like, oh God, here we go,

161
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: you know, because it's never anything good, you know. Yeah,

162
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: So you called, and I knew something was up because

163
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: he calls to check in, but usually there's something. And

164
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: he's like, I just want to catch up. I just

165
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 1: want to talk to you a little bit, and I

166
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: said okay, and he started out this conversation as okay,

167
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: So I know we had this conversation last time, and

168
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: you said I cannot bring this up over the phone.

169
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: I had had to be there in person. And as

170
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: soon as he said that, really I knew what he

171
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: was about to ask me because I well, because I

172
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: told him, like after my last Bachelor interview, which was

173
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: this past year before Claire was announced, I was doing

174
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: my own thing. I was happy. I was in my

175
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: own world. I was living my life. I had finally

176
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,719
Speaker 1: like found my grand I wasn't in the headspace of

177
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: going back on TV doing all that stuff. And like

178
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: I got that phone call and I kind of like

179
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: uprooted me, put my life on hold. You know how

180
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: it goes. You can't really make any plans, decisions, nothing,

181
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 1: because you don't know what's going to happen. And I

182
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,719
Speaker 1: kind of messed with me quite a bit actually, and

183
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 1: I told him, I'm like, that's not that's not fair

184
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,959
Speaker 1: to me. I know, O there's other girls in the conversation.

185
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: But I was fine. I was fine, And next time

186
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: you do it, you better come to my house and

187
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: tell me in person, because at this point I don't

188
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: want a phone call. I'm not going to paradise. I'm

189
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: not going to do the Bachelor again. I don't want

190
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: anything to do. I'm done. And so when he started

191
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: the sentence with that, um, I basically knew what was coming.

192
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: That's so exciting, I mean, and I mean it really

193
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: is it. Normally we get to have this talk before

194
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: you start your season, but obviously this isn't. This is

195
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: like no, we've never seen this happen before, and normally,

196
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 1: like Beck and I are like, oh my gosh, we're

197
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 1: so excited for you. This is amazing. Your whole life

198
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: is about to change. Like the first night is the

199
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: most exciting night ever. Like no one can I just

200
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: no one can prep you for it. And I just

201
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: think it's there's just so much joy because then there's

202
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: so much you just have no idea what to expect.

203
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: But for you, obviously we know that this was the

204
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: absolute worst kept secret that you were going to be

205
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: the bachelorette. I mean, people were posting self included on Instagram.

206
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 1: If the rumors are true, Oh my god, I'm so

207
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: excited for Tasha, Like like it was just like I'm

208
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: just gonna embrace it, like fuck it it's out there,

209
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: you know, like it's it's we know what's up. But

210
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: now that people actually know it's you. How does it

211
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:05,719
Speaker 1: feel that the franchise is acknowledging acknowledging you. Now we

212
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: can talk to you, we can talk about it, we've

213
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 1: seen you on our screen. What does that feel like

214
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: for you? So real? Just because I feel like I've

215
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: been keeping a secret for so long, the only one. Yeah,

216
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 1: and I haven't really been able to talk to anybody

217
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: except for my family, and it's a lot. I don't

218
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: think people realize actually how hard of a time I've

219
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: had personally, like internally, just because when you're announced a bachelor,

220
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: you have so much time to get into that headspace

221
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: and like get excited for what's to come. And for me,

222
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: it was just like I got a phone call and

223
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: I went into quarantine and you know, went straight into

224
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: filming and all the excitement that you guys experienced like

225
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: I did, It wasn't a part of that. I had

226
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: no idea that was even going on. You know, I

227
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: just came out of the bubble and or I came

228
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 1: out of my journey and I was just processing what

229
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 1: just happened. So for so long, I've kind of just

230
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: been in this like what's going on phase that it's

231
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 1: exciting to now I get that thing. Yeah, it's pretty exciting.

232
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. It just is gonna take me

233
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: a minute. I want to know going into night one

234
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: because very on trend with twenty twenty, nothing is going

235
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: as planned and so even as we've said, this whole

236
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: season has been mixed up and it's not the normal

237
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: Bachelor season that people are knowing and loving. So of course,

238
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: like even your Night one felt different because you you

239
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: basically go in there's a group of what sixteen men

240
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 1: just sitting there, and like you can tell it's like

241
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: you're nervous, rightfully, so the men are nervous, you know.

242
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: But I found it kind of endearing, like this cute,

243
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: quirky moment where you guys like all see each other

244
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: and you're like, hi, okay, so like how do we

245
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 1: do this now? It wasn't the proper little entences, which

246
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 1: I will say, I'm so glad that they did give

247
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: you that later on in the evening, like at least

248
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: to stand there and have the many the limo and

249
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: wow you and go back in like that. You needed that,

250
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: You deserved that. But overall, you know, you because you

251
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,599
Speaker 1: did come halfway through a season, you didn't get a

252
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,839
Speaker 1: lot of the pomp and circumstance that any lead has

253
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 1: gotten in the past. So how does that feel knowing

254
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: like were you okay with that, like knowing, you know what,

255
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,719
Speaker 1: as long as I have this opportunity, I'm gonna make

256
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: it as worthwhile as possible, or were you kind of

257
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: bummed about that about just you know, like feeling like,

258
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if these guys were over Claire, it's

259
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: this weird way to get in here, as silly as

260
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: it as crazy as it sounds. I think this introduction

261
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: of being a bachelor was the best way possible for me.

262
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure it would have been fun to be in

263
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: and now it's like the way everybody else has and

264
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. But I think the way

265
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: that I entered and I met all of these guys

266
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: was perfect because I feel like if I had too

267
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: much time, I'm hot a den Claire would have done

268
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: like looked up all these guys on Instagram, kind of

269
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: had like an idea on who I wanted to talk

270
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: to you, you know what I mean, And I just

271
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: went into it just like honestly, just giving it my all,

272
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: leaning into the process and just honestly being me, Like

273
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: I couldn't do anything at that point except for just

274
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 1: be like, Hi, well yeah, take it or leave it.

275
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: Hi and I. I loved that I didn't know anything

276
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: about them and they knew nothing about me. They knew

277
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: they didn't know who was coming through those doors. I

278
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: loved it. All I thought they didn't know was coming.

279
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: Their reaction to seeing you is everything. I mean. I

280
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: don't know about you backup, but I was a tapid jealous.

281
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: Oh their jaws literally, oh my god, I mean easy goes,

282
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: Oh my god, what do you block through? And let's

283
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: just have a moment to talk about how phenomenal you

284
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: looked coming out of the level You're the dress first

285
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: of all, and I and I and I did talk

286
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: to carry about this, okay, so like no legit last

287
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: night before before we were podcasting, because I was like

288
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: over podcasting, Tasia. I have to compliment you on how

289
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: fantastic that dress was. I've never seen him dress someone

290
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: and with your complexion, you were just I mean being

291
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: glowing it all, Tasia. It was all, dare I say it,

292
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: the best looking bachelorette I have seen step out of

293
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: the limo, like truly from head to tell. The way

294
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: you looked, it was like the whole look was was

295
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: was great. Um, and so I get it. If I

296
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: was a man, I'm a woman. And I was like,

297
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: oh my god, I've literally said this. I think well

298
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: I said it at one point, maybe after you came

299
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: on her last podcast. I was like, I just look

300
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: at Tasia and I feel like I'm sucked into her eyes,

301
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: like stunning, and especially a night one like your old

302
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: Hollywood glam with the hair and then pack up. I

303
00:15:55,800 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: was like, oh my gosh, I seriously got chills all

304
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: over watching you step out, and it was just so

305
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: sweet because you literally you were like what do I do?

306
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: What do I do? Where do I? It was great,

307
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: It was refreshing. It was really refreshing to just watch

308
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: you and like the way back and pointed it out

309
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: just you know, like no one knew what to do.

310
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: Even when you have the rose ceremony or there was

311
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: supposed to be a rose ceremony and you're like, I

312
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: think there's a roll ceremony, but we're not going to

313
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: have one. It was like, yeah, like let's just sit

314
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: in this room and get to know each other, and

315
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: it's just the whole thing was so great and it

316
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: was exciting to watch you, and we're just so happy

317
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: for you and happy that we can have this moment

318
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: to talk to you. But what I also loved is

319
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: that we saw you talk a lot about what you

320
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: were fearful of. Obviously, it's exciting. I don't even need

321
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: to ask you the question about what you're excited about.

322
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: You're walking into a room full of men that are

323
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: for you, right put a period after it. That's exciting.

324
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: You're on the trigracy. That's exciting. Is going to pull

325
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: up with four more guys. That's exciting. We got that.

326
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: But to see you talk about and I don't know

327
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: if I don't even know if I realized it as

328
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: a viewer until you said it, because we know how

329
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 1: exciting it is, but to hear you say, these men

330
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: might not be here for me. They might have feelings

331
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 1: that are invested. And maybe we're a little bit jaded

332
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: because we watched clear season play out. You really weren't

333
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: privy to all of that in the moment, So talk

334
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 1: about what it was that you were most fearful of

335
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: and how you were able to overcome that to step

336
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: into you know, the Bachelor bubble and be the bachelorette.

337
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: I mean that's the first one of the first questions

338
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: I asked the producer when he calls me, I was like, okay,

339
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 1: but how is this going to work? Like the guys

340
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: clearly knew, Like Claire was announced with the men knowing

341
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: what they were walking into, and then guys were recasted

342
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: knowing that Claire was going to be the bachelorette. I mean,

343
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: if I'm one of those guys you got, you're asked,

344
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: I'm going to see, like who's going to be there

345
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: and like see if I'm even attracted to her or

346
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. So I was like, hold on

347
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: a second, but all these guys are there for her,

348
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 1: and like how much have they actually grown? I know

349
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 1: how big a one on one is, I know how

350
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: quickly feelings developed, and so yeah, I was fearful that

351
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:17,360
Speaker 1: they all had her in mind. Um, she was more

352
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: their type than me if they corrected you whatever. That

353
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:27,719
Speaker 1: made me just as rock. I think, like I've been

354
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 1: I've been fell in love with people. Know what you

355
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: walked into the room like, he could not stop talking about,

356
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: like she's more of my speed and she's this and

357
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: that I'm like, okay, I've been in love Brenda too.

358
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: Brendan was like, you're my move, and I was like, well, well,

359
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: damn Claire. You thought, I mean, we'll be bad for Claire,

360
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: and that's in that instance. But yeah, but it's just

361
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 1: it's just funny, like that's a huge fear. Let me

362
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: think about it, you know, And and I just walked

363
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: in like okay, well I'm gonna have the conversation. It

364
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: was really, really really important to me, and there's a

365
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: little bit more of a conversation that happened than what

366
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: they showed. But I was like, honestly, please give me

367
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: the opportunity. Just I might not be the one you

368
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: came here for, but just give me a chance. Like

369
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: I'm going to give every single one of you a chance,

370
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: and if it's not me, that's totally fine. Like I

371
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: wanted them to know, like doors right there, and I'm

372
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: not stopping you because I don't want you to string

373
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 1: me along because I'm not gonna do that to you.

374
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, it was something I had to constantly work

375
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 1: with in my mind and with my producer even just

376
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: to be like, but they're here for me, right because

377
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: you don't see what they're saying behind the scenes, you

378
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: know what I mean, So you just kind of have

379
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: to like ask because before you came in, I mean

380
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: the moment when Chris Harrison was like, Okay, guys, you

381
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 1: have twenty four hours basically to make up your mind

382
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 1: if you want to stay or go. And we saw,

383
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: I mean, we saw most of them being like, now

384
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: we finally have a chance, like we want to stay

385
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 1: and do this because they felt like they didn't have

386
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: that fighting chance before. There were a couple of guys

387
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,959
Speaker 1: like Blake and Jason who were struggling more because they

388
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 1: obviously had developed some sort of feeling and relationship for Claire.

389
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 1: So in talking to them that night, I mean, because

390
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: we saw, especially in Ny, when we saw most of

391
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: them reassure you, like we're here for you, like we

392
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 1: want this opportunity, we want to get to know you,

393
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: just like you're giving us this opportunity to get to

394
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 1: know us. And so did you ever feel like they

395
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: were being totally honest or that they were kind of

396
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: just around to stick around to do the show for

397
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: all the things that could come from it, or did

398
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 1: you feel like they were very open and honest And

399
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: then now I guess knowing what you went through in

400
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: the entire season and watching it back now and watching

401
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: what they were saying prior to you coming in, Like

402
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: where's your head at with that? Like how are you

403
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: feeling in your heart about what they were telling you?

404
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: I think that one of a qualities that I have

405
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,479
Speaker 1: is like I'm really good at reading people. And I

406
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: will say every single conversation I had with that that night,

407
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 1: on the first night with the guys, like they were

408
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: all so genuine and every single guy, I mean, except

409
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: for it was Jason and Blake that really had feelings

410
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: invested in Claire, and they did share that with me

411
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: that night. They're like, honestly, like I don't even I

412
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 1: know more about you than I know about Claire. Like

413
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: I and this is not to talk about bad about Claire,

414
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 1: but it's just to show like where their headspace was,

415
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,479
Speaker 1: and they were just like, I know more about you,

416
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: and like, I actually feel like I'm having a good conversation,

417
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: like something's going somewhere. And every single guy kind of

418
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: kept saying that in their own words, so I know

419
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: it wasn't something that was rehearsed collectively. So to hear

420
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 1: that really reassured me. And for the guys that did

421
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,199
Speaker 1: have feelings, I was like, I want you to be

422
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 1: in that. I want you to feel that, and I

423
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 1: want you to figure it out. I think that what

424
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 1: I think it's so funny to watch the transition, and

425
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: you know, people have been really hard on Claire, and

426
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: then to see how the guys responded to you, it

427
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: was like things work out the way they're supposed to.

428
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: Because to see so many men say that you were

429
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: more their type, it made what Claire did even that

430
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: more special because she took a risk and trusted in

431
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: what she did and made the best decision for her

432
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: and Debt and it's worked out. And then those guys

433
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: had a new opportunity to meet someone that they were

434
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: more interested in, and it worked. Like it all works,

435
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: It's all part of God's greater plan. I do have

436
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 1: a question with you, because it's not just about the

437
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,959
Speaker 1: switch that you had with Claire that was such a

438
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 1: big deal. It's also being the bachelorette in twenty twenty

439
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: and all of it's craziness. Like the way you were

440
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: the bachelorette, you already said it totally fits twenty twenty,

441
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 1: but you laughed a reality that has just been crazy

442
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: with all the sadness and the suffering and the sickness,

443
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: with a pandemic going on in regards to our health,

444
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: but also a pandemic going on socially and economically racially.

445
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: You know, there's just so much that you left so

446
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 1: then come into a bubble where you're protected. And I mean,

447
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: it's no secret that I was on your season, and

448
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: even when I talk to you, I even said, I

449
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: was like, hey, there's a lot going on out there,

450
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: even more than when you left. Yeah, when you left

451
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: to come into the bubble, right, and knowing going into

452
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 1: the bubble that there was so much this division, there's

453
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,919
Speaker 1: so many conversations that have to be had. Were you

454
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: at all scared or nervous about the discussions that you

455
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 1: were going to have with the men going once you

456
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 1: became the bachelorette? No, absolutely not, because I feel like,

457
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: I mean that I'm looking for is willing to have

458
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: those conversations and has an opinion and has a feeling

459
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 1: about everything. If it's someone that's trying to run away

460
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: from it because they're I don't know, they have no

461
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: feelings about it, or they don't even know how to

462
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: like vocalize that. Okay, it's I don't know if that's

463
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: not necessarily a person For me, to be honest with you,

464
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: I'm here to have intelligent conversations and I'm sorry, but like,

465
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: I'm also half black and half Mexican, so those issues

466
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: are going to arise in our relationships. So it's it's

467
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 1: more so a person that is willing to have that

468
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 1: is definitely a person I'm willing to day. If they

469
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: weren't Freddy for all that, then maybe we're not ready

470
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: for each other. I don't know, it's I mean, twenty

471
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: twenty is what is. You can't hide and if you

472
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 1: are hiding, then it's going to come to lie at

473
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: some point, you know what I mean. I want to

474
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: add on to that. So for you, I mean, because

475
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 1: now you are the second person of color, well I

476
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: guess after Matt, but the second bachelorette of color. So

477
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: what does that mean to you? I mean, I know

478
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,199
Speaker 1: when watching Rachel's season back, she felt that weight like

479
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: she I think in so many of your interviews, Rachel,

480
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: you felt that pressure so much more immensely than any

481
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: other lead can ever feel. And Statia, did you feel

482
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: that too? Going in and being like, I'm not just

483
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: a second bachelorette on the same season, I'm the second

484
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: bachelor of color here, Like how do I go about this?

485
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: Like what was what was entering that and knowing like

486
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: did you feel like the weight with on your shoulders.

487
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: It's funny because I actually remember having it all hit

488
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 1: me in an interview and vocalizing that. But to be

489
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 1: honest with you, yes I did feel it. And it's

490
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 1: more so just because I didn't want to disappoint, but

491
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: also it's just because I'm aware of the opportunity in

492
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: the platform that I now have and connecting with women

493
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: that identify with me, girls that look like me, can

494
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 1: now see themselves represented by me, and that means everything

495
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: to me. So I'm just excited for that part of

496
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: the journey as a bachelorette. And I don't know, just

497
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 1: being a role model for people, yeah in general, No, absolutely, Yeah,

498
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: that's why you know, That's why it's It's just it's

499
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:08,959
Speaker 1: just interesting because there's so many issues and factors floating around,

500
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: whether you're a Claire who's now in an interracial relationship,

501
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: you or Matt James, like every single lead this year.

502
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 1: I guess technically Peters in this year and he doesn't count,

503
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 1: so I'm not counting Peter after Peter, and that's no shade.

504
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: I'm just like, I'm not counting Peter. But after it

505
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: really is affected or has to have certain conversations because

506
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 1: of how they're going to step out into the world

507
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: once they step outside the bubble. It's interesting, but it's

508
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: also very exciting, which is why I was so excited

509
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,120
Speaker 1: when I heard that you were announced, because all I've

510
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,479
Speaker 1: ever wanted to see in this franchise is diversity, and

511
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, I'm seeing this the show really step

512
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 1: up and cast leads and people of color, you know,

513
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 1: within within the franchise, and so I just want people

514
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: to feel more comfortable to be the lead, to be

515
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: a contestant, to be able to open up to producers,

516
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: but then also see producers that look like them on

517
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: the other side. And so I find it interesting too

518
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: that you had a breakdown when talking to a producer,

519
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,360
Speaker 1: because that I had the same thing happened to me,

520
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,400
Speaker 1: and it does hit you. You're having these conversations, you're

521
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 1: starting to open up and then for me and I'm

522
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 1: curious if this is what happened with you. I was

523
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: having a conversation and I looked around the room and

524
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: nobody looked like me, and I was like, so you're

525
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: not getting what I'm saying. And my breakdown was frustration.

526
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: And then you know, they brought Chris Harrison in the room.

527
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: God love them, but I was like, what the hell

528
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: is he going to say to me right now? Like

529
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: I'm crying about being a black woman, and you bring

530
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: a white malon here, you know, like, I love my fairy,

531
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,959
Speaker 1: but that is not the moment. We're missing it. You're

532
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 1: proving exactly. But I'm curious with you if you felt

533
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,919
Speaker 1: that I got frustrated, not because I was mad at

534
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 1: a door my producer, and I wasn't mad at her.

535
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: I was just like, nobody understands the pressure that it

536
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: is to sit in this chair and and to be

537
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 1: in this role. Um you know, okay, Well, first of all,

538
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff is a little different now

539
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: because of COVID. Um, so no one's actually in the

540
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 1: room with you anymore because it's it's just my producer.

541
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: So I'm just over the room, no, no, And it's

542
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: just it's kind of nice. But it's also like, okay,

543
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: so was that funny, so everything's automated, but um no,

544
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,959
Speaker 1: I will say that it was a thought that came

545
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: across my mind. But it's something that I also vocalized with, saying, like,

546
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if I'm going to identify

547
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: with the person that is going to be asking me

548
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: questions all the time, and it's it's easier for me

549
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: to maybe have someone that has a struggle that I've

550
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: had and that's my produce. You that was on The Bachelor.

551
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: He was actually black, and it's we identified a lot

552
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: with each other, and I think he was able to

553
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: really bring me out of my shell and just hear

554
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: me and just like feel me. And I expressed that concern,

555
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: but it was also heard and if I wanted to

556
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: have a different person interview me, just so in case

557
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: the situation arise or anything like that. Like everybody was

558
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: very accommodating to that. So it's I definitely felt supported

559
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: in that aspect, which was nice. I didn't ever feel like, great,

560
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: I can't identify with anyone and just like that means

561
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: there's improvement because I felt that in moments. Yeah, And

562
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, Rachel, like maybe, well, once again,

563
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: what way didn't you pay even this you know, um franchise.

564
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: But for this aspect, it's just like maybe they needed

565
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: to hear that from you in order for that to

566
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: be an opportunity for me, you know what I mean,

567
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if if I was the first. It's like,

568
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: I'm happy that you know. That makes me so happy.

569
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: I'm so happy you felt that, truly, truly. Yeah, No,

570
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: because it does come across your mind. I mean, like,

571
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: how are you going to navigated? I don't have I

572
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: don't know the people you usually call on so and

573
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: I want to ask this and I don't want details

574
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: because obviously we have to watch your entire season, But

575
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: were those conversations aside like with them men? Are we

576
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: going to see those types of conversations? You know, like

577
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: what would hometowns look like? How would your families embrace me?

578
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: You know, like how would your family embrace them? Do

579
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: we see that come later? Yeah, there's a lot of

580
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: really good conversations around all of these topics, which I'm

581
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: excited for y'all to see it. But you'll just have

582
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: to watch. And I can't just talk about one because

583
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: there's many. So that's exciting part about it all. As well.

584
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: You're just gonna see some good deep That's the one

585
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: thing about these men. Everybody has depth, which I love

586
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: and I'm allowed I feel well. Rachel and I have

587
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: read it before. We think that this is one of

588
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: the best group of guys we've seen by far. They're

589
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 1: all a little bit older, more mature. It seems like

590
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: they have great career. Yes, you got a good bunch,

591
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: which actually leads me to my next question. So this

592
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: is a conversation that well, prior to me starting my

593
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: Night one, I thankfully had Rachel, Jojo and Caitlin come

594
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: and give me some advice and ask questions. But we

595
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: always talk about this between us bout scheurettes is did

596
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: you know Night one, after leaving those men who your

597
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: top kind of couple guys, would be no different for her.

598
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: That doesn't surprise me, No, yeah, I guess it's totally different.

599
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: Point is, to be honest with you, guys, I felt

600
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: like I had so much pressure with that damn first

601
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: impression rows because all of you guys, and I'm not

602
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: giving anything away, but all of you guys gave your

603
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 1: first impression roads to the person you left with. So

604
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, I hope my duations

605
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: point because as an asshole, I'm just gonna go ahead

606
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: and put that out there. But it's so funny because

607
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: I did not see that side of him. He was

608
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: always um, thank you, well, guys, I'm not when when

609
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 1: I saw you, when I well, I have talked about this,

610
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: how I've host I hosted that day with you. There

611
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: were a couple of guys that you talked about quite

612
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: a bit, so I so leaving I was like, oh,

613
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: I know who her top three or for sure going

614
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: to be like in true fashion, true back of fashion.

615
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: I think I was probably wrong too. I don't know,

616
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: but but honestly, I think it's great and I love

617
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: that no one really knows because I feel like I

618
00:32:55,480 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: really just allowed myself to give everybody a chance and

619
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: date people that I normally wouldn't end to just see

620
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: where it went. And I'm very proud of myself for that.

621
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: That's what I love. One thing that you did very

622
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: very well in all of your conversations that we saw

623
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: with the guys is you asked them the questions of like,

624
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: why are you here? What brought you here? Like tell

625
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,719
Speaker 1: me more about you? And I felt like maybe it

626
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: was just night one for me or that like maybe

627
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: the first week I felt like it was all about me,

628
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: and I was like, I don't want you to ask

629
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 1: about me, like I need. I'm juggling thirty plus men,

630
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: so like, tell me about you. And you did such

631
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: a good job about digging and I think making them

632
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,959
Speaker 1: feel like they actually had somebody who cared now and

633
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: like listened to them. Oh well, I also think it

634
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: was like it also kind of helped because they were

635
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: like kind of warmed up a little, like they were

636
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: definitely nervous. It's so funny. I'm sure you guys all

637
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: experienced this. But then they would all hold your hands

638
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 1: like their hands and because they're funny and it's the cute.

639
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 1: Oh there's one I won't even talk abou um, but

640
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: they're almost super shaking. It's really endearing. It's just really sweet.

641
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: But like I just maybe their nerves wasn't um. I

642
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,359
Speaker 1: don't know, like you usually ask questions about other people

643
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: when you're nervous, Like I don't even know if it

644
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: was that they were warmed up or that it was

645
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: that they hadn't had the opportunity to talk about themselves.

646
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 1: And so I think that was also what was so great.

647
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:30,760
Speaker 1: I think that's what's so interesting about the way that

648
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: you came in, because the men haven't had an opportunity

649
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: to talk about themselves, they haven't been asked certain questions.

650
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 1: It's all been very Claire Dell and so I think

651
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 1: for you it's so great because they are so eager.

652
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: They're obviously interested in you, but they're also so eager

653
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: to talk to you. Um, which I love. It's it's

654
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 1: it's very refreshing. Like the way that you came in.

655
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 1: It's great that we didn't have a whole season of Claire. Um,

656
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 1: and that is no shade of Claire. If people know

657
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 1: Claire is my girl, but she obviously found her love quickly.

658
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: Why make us watch right five six more weeks of

659
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 1: that when she found love? That's the point of the show.

660
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,240
Speaker 1: But my question to you is one, are you watching

661
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: Claire season? Well it's over now, did you watch Past Tense?

662
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: Did you watch Claire season? I wasn't going to second question,

663
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 1: when you watched The Men on Claire's season? Did your

664
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,399
Speaker 1: And then we obviously haven't seen your entire season yet,

665
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,720
Speaker 1: but you went through it watching the Men on Claire

666
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: season versus how you experienced them, Oh my gosh, maybe

667
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: the wine's hitting me versus how you experienced them on

668
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: your season. Did your opinion change at all of any

669
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: of the men. To be honest with you, watching Claire's season,

670
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: I feel like you didn't really see any of the guys.

671
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 1: You didn't see their personality, You didn't half of them

672
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: didn't even speak. I mean there was really like maybe

673
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:01,839
Speaker 1: three or four people on the show. I feel like

674
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: it was Claire Dale and maybe a couple of commentators,

675
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: like and Kenny talked quite a bit. Jay, you know

676
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: what I mean. You didn't see any of the guys,

677
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 1: which is why, like, I'm so excited for everyone to

678
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 1: watch this season, because the guys open up and they

679
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: are phenomenal. Everyone's kind of like, oh, not everyone, But

680
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: I've talked to a few people and there like the

681
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:28,240
Speaker 1: guys were like okay, and I'm just like, first of all, rude.

682
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,720
Speaker 1: Second of all, you haven't seen them yet. Just wait

683
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 1: because you will see different sides of them. They're actually amazing. Um.

684
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: But to be honest with you, there is something, Yeah,

685
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: you're like giving your first you haven't seen the guys yet.

686
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,399
Speaker 1: One don't want to Brandon I'm like flipping creep page

687
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: is like, Okay, Brenda, who is Brendan? Brenda never seen

688
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 1: him before. I feel like even when you walked in,

689
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: there's so many guys You're like, Hi, impatient. Every guy's

690
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 1: like Hi, I'm so, and so, I'm so, I'm so,

691
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 1: and so I'm like, who is this guy? Like I

692
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: didn't ever know? Is it is he new? You're like,

693
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 1: I have no idea because yeah, again playing back to it,

694
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 1: you just didn't see him. It was the Claire and

695
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 1: Dale show, playing off of Rachel's question before you went

696
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,240
Speaker 1: in to meet them, and did you have a chance

697
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: to talk to Claire or were you in contact with

698
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: her at all or did she share any advice with

699
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:21,360
Speaker 1: you before going in? To be honest, no, but I

700
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 1: think it's just because it was it was kind of quick.

701
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 1: But also I think everyone wanted to allow us to

702
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 1: have our own experiences and it would have been nice

703
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,359
Speaker 1: to be like high like pass the torch kind of thing.

704
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: But I also I don't know if it was necessarily

705
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 1: necessary at the time. I kind of just like went

706
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 1: in and did my thing. And what about since the show, Yeah, mum,

707
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: she's reached out and I've responded, but you know, we

708
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 1: just have like a lot going on right now too,

709
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 1: I know, like the craziness of the show. I'm sure

710
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 1: we'll connect soon, but yeah, we've had a little bit

711
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 1: of correspondence. Um, I'm sure after all this kind of

712
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,359
Speaker 1: like blows over, we'll be able to like really like

713
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,879
Speaker 1: laugh at everything and see everything. But at the same time,

714
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 1: I was just getting started. You know, you can just

715
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: add Ta to the Bachelor a group chat now, we

716
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 1: should we should chat. The fact that you guys have

717
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 1: a Bachelor at group chat is amazing. I shouldn't admit

718
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: this for everyone. But a couple of weeks ago, I

719
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: was like, when do we add Tatia here? And some

720
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 1: of the girls were like, wait what It's like, I

721
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 1: didn't even see you say that. We got buried by

722
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 1: like thirty seven more texts. But but yeah, welcome to

723
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 1: the club. You. It's like you will wake up nes

Speaker 1: and your phones you'll have two hundred and forty missed

725
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: texts from all of us. I have them on mute,

726
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 1: So don't feel ashamed to ucause at least like follow

727
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 1: up with them. Yeah, don't. And to be honest, you guys,

728
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,360
Speaker 1: with this starting, I feel like I'm starting to like

729
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 1: get a little stressed and just to have like you

730
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 1: guys there to know that you guys experience the same thing.

731
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's just gonna like put myself out ease

732
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 1: because I don't know, I feel like my whole stuff

733
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,720
Speaker 1: has been so different and I just need help. Well

734
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 1: I freak out. I'm not gonna lie. Oh no, I

735
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,879
Speaker 1: was gonna say, well, this is a strange time too.

736
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:24,479
Speaker 1: The time when it's airing, you obviously like can't talk

737
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 1: about it really like with people. You know, you have

738
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 1: to just take it a week by week. So I remember,

739
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: like when I was in your shoes at this point,

740
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 1: I was just really anxious, like I didn't want to

741
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 1: go out in public. I didn't want to like talk

742
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: to people and have them ask questions. It's just it's

743
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: it's just like a bubble outside of the bubble. It's

744
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 1: strange but also too um It's nice because you still, like,

745
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 1: depending on what happens, I truly don't know, like you

746
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 1: have hopefully some special secrets and memories that like this

747
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 1: is the quiet time before everything like really changes by

748
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,399
Speaker 1: the end of your season. So but we're always here

749
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: to talk. I mean you're so close to us, we'll

750
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 1: have some girls' nights. I know, honestly, that's a good thing.

751
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,359
Speaker 1: I've been ebbing downtown for the last couple of weeks,

752
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: but and I'll still be gone for a little while,

753
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: but soon when I get back, I haven't eve watched

754
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 1: an episode at home with I'm my family, nobody. So

755
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 1: once I get how what notion you have to I do.

756
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: But I will tell you like I like usually run

757
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 1: out of the room when I see myself, and this

758
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,839
Speaker 1: is gonna be different because I'm like, it's not it's

759
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 1: not cute, that it's not enjoyable, but you have to watch.

760
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 1: You have to look at it, like for research purposes. Okay,

761
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 1: I don't know how your season is, but you have

762
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: to know once because you have to know how to

763
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: address the media when they come at you, like we'll

764
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,839
Speaker 1: meet again in a different setting inst on extra and

765
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 1: like if I'm asking you particulars, you have to understand

766
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 1: what it is you know that I'm talking about. Also

767
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 1: where you're coming from. If you chose someone at the intervice,

768
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: They're going to go through their own journey of watching

769
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 1: it back and watching you have relationships with other men

770
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:04,320
Speaker 1: and that's tough, and you have to be very understanding

771
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:06,320
Speaker 1: of it and let them go through their own feelings

772
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,839
Speaker 1: and working it out. So you have to but like

773
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 1: think of it as like this is work and I

774
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 1: have to watch this for research. I don't enjoy it.

775
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 1: I don't like it. I never want to see it again.

776
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: But I've gotten to do this for this one time. Now.

777
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 1: I do want to ask you this because we talked

778
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 1: about this on the podcast, and you know we're opinionate

779
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 1: on the podcast. We're not one to hold back our thoughts.

780
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,959
Speaker 1: At the end of episode three of you were introduced

781
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:38,839
Speaker 1: to the world, finally they acknowledge you, which has just

782
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 1: been I like, I literally get so sick of having

783
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,399
Speaker 1: to say allegedly when people are like, okay, so takes

784
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 1: justus next batch, right, and I'm like, allegedly, yes, and

785
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 1: see for the first time the franchise acknowledges you coming

786
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 1: out of a pool Berry halle Berry esque in the

787
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 1: orange bathing suit, you know, drenched wet assets out. I

788
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: want to know, though, how did you feel about the

789
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 1: first time you saw yourself on camera with the Bachelorette um. Well,

790
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 1: first of all, I will say that was actually obviously

791
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 1: you've seen the first episode. No, Like it was filmed

792
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:25,800
Speaker 1: out a date. So did I think that was movement

793
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 1: intro as a bout shott no? Um, which I wouldn't either.

794
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 1: I get that, Yeah, we know you didn't say, Hey, guys,

795
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:41,399
Speaker 1: make sure this is how you introduced me? Is my teaser? Well,

796
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 1: some people actually asked or like, was so your Intro'm

797
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: like my intro, like that was just a date. Like

798
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 1: I didn't think that was gonna be my thing. I'm

799
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 1: gonna try it a little bit harder, like flopping around

800
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 1: or whatever. But I will tell you I've actually that's

801
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 1: not the first time I've done that, so it is

802
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 1: actually kind of like this thing. I actually did it

803
00:42:56,600 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 1: back in Singapore on Colton season, and we had so

804
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:01,879
Speaker 1: much fun doing it, and it was kind of fun

805
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 1: just to like remake it. But the way that I

806
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: felt with that being my first introduction as a bachelor,

807
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 1: I didn't really think about it any type of way

808
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: in particular. I guess it's funny because like, once I

809
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 1: heard your opinion on it, Rachel, it was like, I

810
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:27,839
Speaker 1: guess I never thought about how it might make other

811
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:32,839
Speaker 1: people feel, just being like hey, like she deserves an

812
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:37,800
Speaker 1: introduction before like her body comes out. In my opinion,

813
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:39,879
Speaker 1: I was just like, you've seen me on Bachelor, you've

814
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 1: actually seen me on Paradise. My introduction to Paradise was

815
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 1: somewhat similar in a bikini and whatnot. I didn't really

816
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 1: feel like it was out of the norm, but I

817
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 1: do feel uncomfortable in a bating suit in general, So

818
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:50,839
Speaker 1: it was just kind of like it was a lot

819
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,359
Speaker 1: for me. I was like, Okay, that's my shot, all right.

820
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 1: It would have been nice to be like, so it's

821
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 1: Tasha and then I come out of the pool, I think,

822
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 1: But like, and you'll realize this too, because like you're

823
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 1: just now publicly being able to talk about being the bacherette.

824
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 1: There are levels in this Bachelor franchise. And I don't

825
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 1: think that that's cocky to say it's the truth. You know,

826
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:15,360
Speaker 1: a lead is different from a contestant. Being on Paradise

827
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: is different from being the bacherette, which is why you said,

828
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: don't call me here to Paradise unless it's the real deal.

829
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 1: It's bacherette. So to be in a bathing suit in

830
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:30,879
Speaker 1: Paradise is not the same thing to being introduced as

831
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 1: the bachelorette first thing as a swimsuit, and so like,

832
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,319
Speaker 1: for me, it was like, let me just acknowledge how

833
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 1: amazing she looks. First of all, obviously you look amazing

834
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:43,320
Speaker 1: and we get that, but you didn't choose her simply

835
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 1: because she's beautiful. A lot of beautiful girls come through

836
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 1: this franchise. You were chosen because you're more than that.

837
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 1: And I just felt personally also in addition to what

838
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 1: I feel about to how black women are stereotyped in

839
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 1: this country and the world. Really, but I was just like, oh,

840
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 1: I hate. I felt like it was a robbed moment.

841
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 1: Now they quickly make it up in the next episode quickly.

842
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 1: We talked about how it made you look, truly, and

843
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 1: then you see the context behind you coming out of

844
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:16,720
Speaker 1: the pole, which makes all the sense in the world.

845
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:19,319
Speaker 1: If I had watched it that way, I would have

846
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 1: had nothing to say. But I just, you know, like,

847
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:24,839
Speaker 1: and maybe we can say things, and like Becca can

848
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 1: speak on this as well, but maybe we can say

849
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 1: things that you necessarily can't because we ain't under the

850
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 1: same contract that you are. But I like I stepped

851
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 1: in big Sistermone and Becca did too, because we kind

852
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:41,840
Speaker 1: of had the same thought about it. We feel protective

853
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 1: over you. We've been through this, we've gone through this,

854
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 1: and it was like, ah, could we do something else,

855
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 1: because Tatia is so much more than just being beautiful.

856
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 1: You are beautiful, but you're there's depth to you. You

857
00:45:56,440 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: don't get to be the bachelorette just by simply being beautiful.

858
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 1: And I just wish that we had seen that. But

859
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 1: thank god there's another weekend. Then they make that up

860
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 1: pretty quickly. No, but I honestly I do appreciate that,

861
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 1: just because again, I think this whole thing has just

862
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 1: been so different than any other announcement or anything. And

863
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 1: it did suck to have me come out of the

864
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: pool and not even be able to be like, yeah,

865
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:25,840
Speaker 1: I am the Bachelor. I was just like no, I

866
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 1: was swimming in a pool and looking to California, you know.

867
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:32,880
Speaker 1: So that kind of sucked. And that's why I'm telling you, Like,

868
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:34,799
Speaker 1: even when you're saying like, it's nice to kind of

869
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:38,280
Speaker 1: say it now, it is nice, but I for so honestly,

870
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 1: for so long, I've been like I can't say anything.

871
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 1: So it's I'm still adjusting to it. I don't know.

872
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 1: I wish I would have been introduced a little differently.

873
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie, but I'm still happy with the

874
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 1: way I did everything. I don't think there's I have

875
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 1: any regrets all my seasons, which is nice, but I

876
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: just yeah, maybe seen me a little dress. They already

877
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 1: will forget about it because they've seen it in a

878
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 1: different way. Yeah yeah, and also too like keepn my

879
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:10,719
Speaker 1: Clarien have to graduate as her promo shot and so

880
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 1: it's like the twenty twenties, just dropping the ball a

881
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 1: little bit here, you guys, Claren, I'm the bachelorette. What honestly,

882
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:24,759
Speaker 1: which one would you like better? Okay, I'm not trying

883
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:31,280
Speaker 1: to know my grandmother's what size are you? Grandmothers always

884
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 1: like maybe where the rest of your toes? I wish

885
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 1: everyone listening please tune in. You can watch her videos.

886
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:43,800
Speaker 1: I don't know where Rachel, that damn foot one more time.

887
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:48,319
Speaker 1: But you're right, You're right Tasia here in fact though,

888
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:52,839
Speaker 1: backay you're tall, Rachel, you are tiny and I never

889
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 1: knew that. Um, how many guys did you kiss it? One?

890
00:47:57,160 --> 00:48:01,279
Speaker 1: You guys? Not even Spencer? I did not. Oh, I

891
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:04,839
Speaker 1: like I kiss Spencer after I gave him the rose.

892
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:08,319
Speaker 1: I kissed Spencer, but I will tell you nobody kissed

893
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:10,400
Speaker 1: me night one and I even went back and I

894
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 1: was like, like I wasn't expecting to like be a

895
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 1: little hot mess, but I was just like, nobody actually

896
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 1: kissed me. I'm like, that's kind of weird. Don't speak

897
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:21,799
Speaker 1: on it if you don't want it to have. The

898
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:26,880
Speaker 1: next night, I kissed so many people. I was like, lipsies.

899
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:29,319
Speaker 1: I shouldn't have said that because I kissed probably the

900
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:31,319
Speaker 1: next night I didn't. I don't only kiss. I'm sorry

901
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 1: on the first night. It's like the guys can get

902
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 1: kind of yeah, thank you, it's not weird, but you guys.

903
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:41,239
Speaker 1: At the same time, I feel like when I was

904
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:45,959
Speaker 1: looking back, like my little kiss with Spencer was so sweet,

905
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 1: a little pecky. Yeah, I was a little sweet little kiss.

906
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 1: They're both nervous that dude was itching to kiss you.

907
00:48:54,480 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 1: I've never seen somebody hates Chris Harrison so much. Ways

908
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:05,839
Speaker 1: away him breaking off and I was like, look at

909
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 1: Chris go it's great. Oh on, he was having the

910
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 1: time of his life on that damn little scooter. It

911
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:14,759
Speaker 1: was the best. One thing I want to ask you

912
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:17,759
Speaker 1: because obviously when you say yes to the bachelorette and

913
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:20,279
Speaker 1: for Yutasia and you and you expressed this on your

914
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 1: date with Brendan. It's it's nice that you guys have

915
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 1: something in common that we don't really see talked about

916
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 1: on the show, and it was really great to see you, know,

917
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:33,920
Speaker 1: you talk about that this isn't a game for me.

918
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 1: I've been through this before. On another level, I've been married.

919
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 1: You're obviously looking for a husband. You wouldn't have said

920
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 1: yes to this if you weren't taking this seriously because

921
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:45,799
Speaker 1: of what you've been through. So what did being the

922
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 1: bachelorette mean to you? And what qualities did you most

923
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:57,319
Speaker 1: want to convey as the bachelorette? M what didn't it

924
00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 1: mean to me? I mean, to be honest with you,

925
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:04,399
Speaker 1: it was more so of a reflection as to where

926
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 1: I am in life. Like, I'm very confident in myself.

927
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 1: I know that I have a lot to offer. I'm

928
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:12,799
Speaker 1: I've worked very hard to get to be the woman

929
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 1: that I am today and I'm very self sufficient. But

930
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 1: I'm honestly just looking for a partner in life. And

931
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 1: I think that me saying yes the opportunity means that

932
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 1: I've actually I'm actually there And sorry what was the

933
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 1: qualities did you want to convey as the bachelor. Oh,

934
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 1: I wanted to just I wanted to just convey that

935
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:42,520
Speaker 1: I'm a strong woman, just someone that honestly, it's just

936
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 1: someone's looking for a partner in life. Like it's funny

937
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 1: because like I tell everybody, like I don't need anybody

938
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 1: because I don't, but it's nice to have someone to

939
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:55,279
Speaker 1: take over the world with. I was looking for someone

940
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 1: to build an empire with. That's at the end of

941
00:50:57,160 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 1: the day, what I kept telling the guys, be yourself,

942
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:03,560
Speaker 1: going to be myself, my vulnerable, honest self if you

943
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 1: give me that, and I expect that in return. And

944
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:08,279
Speaker 1: I feel like if you do that, we're going to

945
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:11,360
Speaker 1: create something amazing. And like for me to just be

946
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:16,359
Speaker 1: there and just have confidence and not try to be

947
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 1: somebody else. I feel like for so long, like at

948
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 1: a young age, you just try to be what that

949
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:22,239
Speaker 1: guy wants you to be. For so long you want

950
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:24,719
Speaker 1: to try to be the cool check or like be

951
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:26,919
Speaker 1: this way, to be that way. Like no, like this

952
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:30,439
Speaker 1: is who I am. And that's why when I didn't

953
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 1: have the opportunity to have like so much time to

954
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 1: think about who these guys were, and the fact that

955
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 1: the guys didn't know who I was. It's just like

956
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 1: it's very organic. Either we like each other, we don't,

957
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:40,839
Speaker 1: it works out, or it doesn't, like we have something

958
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:43,919
Speaker 1: in common or it doesn't. And I think that, Yeah,

959
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 1: I think that was really portrayed in my season. Once

960
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:48,719
Speaker 1: you like, keep watching, you'll see that we just kind

961
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 1: of like it works, it works. If it doesn't, we

962
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 1: have a really mature conversation about it makes kind of

963
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:56,440
Speaker 1: move on. Okay. One thing I want to ask is

964
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:59,880
Speaker 1: because anyone going on the show, any lead or can

965
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 1: test it, knows that this is a very amplified timeline.

966
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 1: Two months is not a long time before you fall

967
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 1: in love and potentially get engaged. And you had half

968
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 1: of that time. So when you went in, obviously I'm

969
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 1: assuming you were hopeful, but going in knowing that your

970
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 1: time was already cut in half, were you skeptical at

971
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 1: all about being like, could this actually work for me

972
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:25,399
Speaker 1: this time around on such a short time frame. I

973
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:27,800
Speaker 1: just truly feel like I had enough time. I feel

974
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 1: like the guys really should who they were and what

975
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 1: they had to offer, and I did the same. And no,

976
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:39,600
Speaker 1: when you know, you know, I think like either haven't

977
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 1: attracted to someone or you don't and I feel like

978
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 1: that's kind of I just kept leaning into I don't

979
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 1: only think I had two short of a time. That

980
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:47,200
Speaker 1: was a fear that I had, and I told them that,

981
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 1: and I told them, I don't think I'm gonna get

982
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 1: engaged at the end of this. I think I might

983
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:54,120
Speaker 1: just leave with a boyfriend or whatever. And they honestly said,

984
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 1: we're not going to pressure you to do anything. You

985
00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:59,799
Speaker 1: do your heart once, and so I didn't really ever

986
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 1: of that pressure to be like, oh my god, I

987
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:03,279
Speaker 1: need to find a husband like right now. So I

988
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:05,319
Speaker 1: just kind of like live. You probably start in there

989
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:07,959
Speaker 1: at the perfect time, too, were the guys, well, most

990
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:10,840
Speaker 1: of the guys besides four of them had enough time

991
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:12,920
Speaker 1: to kind of like get into the headspace and like

992
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 1: get used to the interviews and the schedule and how

993
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 1: things operate, where most people it takes them so long

994
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:21,120
Speaker 1: to really I think, find their groove and to get

995
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 1: into it and feel comfortable. So you probably I didn't

996
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:26,439
Speaker 1: even think about this until now. You probably got them

997
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:29,279
Speaker 1: like when they were already warmed up and ready and

998
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,239
Speaker 1: ready to open up and talking about their feelings and

999
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 1: their emotions and not be so closed off. At that point,

1000
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:39,399
Speaker 1: they were I feel like a little comfortable with like

1001
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:41,839
Speaker 1: all the camera people around, like the lights and all

1002
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 1: kind of stuff, which is something to adjust you on

1003
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:48,399
Speaker 1: night one, as you guys know. And yeah, I feel

1004
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:51,319
Speaker 1: like they kind of work any of that stuff. They

1005
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 1: were like, somebody was listening to us, Thank god, you

1006
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:58,839
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like, yes, they got warmed up,

1007
00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:01,799
Speaker 1: but at the same time, they were like, thank god,

1008
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:04,320
Speaker 1: this is this is what it's like to be on

1009
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 1: a season and listen again, this is no shade of Claire.

1010
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 1: Claire did absolutely what she should have done, and that's

1011
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:14,720
Speaker 1: why I'm so grateful that they brought Then he was like, Okay,

1012
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:16,879
Speaker 1: this person found or person, and this person is going

1013
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:21,200
Speaker 1: to explore these relationships with these twenty men. Great, that's

1014
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 1: how it should be. Can you like those poor men too?

1015
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:26,440
Speaker 1: When they had no idea that you were coming in,

1016
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 1: they were like, we're getting the boot. We've been in

1017
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:31,960
Speaker 1: this one hundred and fifteen degree heat, not talking to

1018
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:34,680
Speaker 1: anyone besides these other dudes for the most part, Like

1019
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:39,439
Speaker 1: you were probably like this most beautiful savior coming in.

1020
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:45,200
Speaker 1: Oh my God. To be honest, I didn't know what

1021
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:48,320
Speaker 1: I was walking into. It could have been like, I

1022
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 1: don't even know, I just walked in. And honestly, you

1023
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:54,120
Speaker 1: guys can speak on that feeling of walking into your

1024
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 1: room and having thirty men in suits like turning around

1025
00:54:57,560 --> 00:55:06,239
Speaker 1: and looking at you. I died vicariously for everybody. This

1026
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 1: is so nice. It's great. It's right reasons, wrong reasons.

1027
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:15,040
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. It's your season, so they are on

1028

Speaker 1: your season and you're in the drive, your seat ready

1029
00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:20,800
Speaker 1: to navigate all these men. It's great. You know, normally

1030
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:23,440
Speaker 1: I'm a bad driver, but when it came to the
