Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say enough, you can't start. That's not
Speaker 1: your podcast.
Speaker 2: I'm doing it. Hello and.
Speaker 1: Hi guys, and welcome back to another episode of Life Uncut.
Speaker 1: I'm Laura and I am joined by my favorite man,
Speaker 1: the one who I've chosen to spend my life with.
Speaker 1: Although we're not we haven't you know, we've consummated it,
Speaker 1: we're just not married.
Speaker 2: I'm going to ask you a really stupid question, what's consummate?
Speaker 2: Consummate me?
Speaker 1: I think it's the sex after the marriage got you.
Speaker 1: We did the consummating and not the marriaging.
Speaker 2: We've consummated, not enough recently, but we have done our
Speaker 2: fair share of times.
Speaker 1: Anyway. I'm Laura Burn and he his many.
Speaker 2: J My name is Matty Ja and it's great to
Speaker 2: be here, Laura. Question for you, yes, how do you
Speaker 2: feel about doing poohs in front of your partner? Oh?
Speaker 1: I mean I think you know the answer to that,
Speaker 1: since we lived together and have done poos by accident
Speaker 1: in front of each other, I would prefer not Like
Speaker 1: for me, I go to the toilet, I close the door.
Speaker 1: You quite happily come open the door to have a chat.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a bit like having olives on a pizza
Speaker 2: like I preferred if they weren't there. But if they
Speaker 2: are there, then I'll eat them. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Why are you talking about eating something? No, I don't
Speaker 1: know what you mean. Actually, Matthew, please, I don't want
Speaker 1: to explain, because I'm sure there's other people listening who
Speaker 1: are equally as confused.
Speaker 2: I feel like when we first got together, one thing
Speaker 2: that we tried to not do was go to the
Speaker 2: toilet in front of one another.
Speaker 1: We also tried to not fart in front of each other, but.
Speaker 2: That quickly went out the window.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it really did.
Speaker 2: But I feel like as time has progressed that rule
Speaker 2: of boundary that we set about not peeling in front
Speaker 2: of one it's slowly become quite blur.
Speaker 1: This is one hundred percent turning into a Daily Mail article,
Speaker 1: and you know what, Just so you guys understand what
Speaker 1: just happened. Before we press record, I said to Matt, oh, babe,
Speaker 1: what do you want to talk about before we get
Speaker 1: into unpacking the episodes? And Matt goes, I've got something.
Speaker 1: I've got something, And I said, how about you just
Speaker 1: let me know what that is before we start recording?
Speaker 2: Oh no, No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: And he goes, no, no, no. I'll just ask you on
Speaker 1: the podcast, and that's the question.
Speaker 2: And I take it from the tone of your voice
Speaker 2: you are thrilled by the topic. Have I done good?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: You happy? Great? Thank you for opening that up. What
Speaker 1: was the actual point of the question and where did
Speaker 1: you want to go with the question?
Speaker 2: No, I just think it's funny that we haven't really
Speaker 2: sit down with one another and spoken about the fact
Speaker 2: that we are now progressing. We are now flirting, stepping
Speaker 2: over that line of pulling in front of one another.
Speaker 1: We absolutely are not you opening the door. Is the
Speaker 1: only person stepping over the line?
Speaker 3: Is you?
Speaker 1: If I close the door to go to the toilet
Speaker 1: and you come in open it to have a chat,
Speaker 1: it's all on you.
Speaker 2: Well, okay, how about the fact that I would say
Speaker 2: it's about fifty percent of the time right now that
Speaker 2: you will go to the toilet and be like, I'm
Speaker 2: not there's no time on paper. So then I open
Speaker 2: the door and I throw it to you. And I'm
Speaker 2: also like, well, whilst I'm here standing in the doorway,
Speaker 2: I may as well have a quick chat with you.
Speaker 2: And then you're like close a job.
Speaker 1: Just a big shit. Absolutely not. Can we just get
Speaker 1: into the recaps?
Speaker 2: Oh, it's coming out right there. Close the door, stop
Speaker 2: looking at me, and the next thing, the kids are
Speaker 2: in there.
Speaker 4: Fast, Get out of the fucking bathroom.
Speaker 2: This is where we're at right now.
Speaker 1: Do you wonder why we don't have sex anymore?
Speaker 2: Let's get into the episode, all right?
Speaker 1: So this week the Bachelor did is dirty again. I
Speaker 1: thought that he had seen the US end of double
Speaker 1: dumping episodes back there.
Speaker 2: With us, Thank you double dumping. I love where you're
Speaker 2: going with it. This is great. Ah.
Speaker 1: You guys remember that week where the Kinky Captain just
Speaker 1: busted out two back to back episodes and Matt and
Speaker 1: I were delirious on absolutely no sleep trying to record. Well,
Speaker 1: it's happened again, and look, I'm not happy about it.
Speaker 1: I'm not happy about it at all.
Speaker 2: What happened last week? It was the soccer match. The
Speaker 2: soccer match has completely thrown the schedule out the window
Speaker 2: and we're now feeling the brunt of it.
Speaker 1: Well. I kind of thought maybe maybe because the ratings
Speaker 1: aren't great, they were trying to speed through a few
Speaker 1: more episodes. But you just think that they're trying to
Speaker 1: catch back up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I reckon, it's all to do with the soccer,
Speaker 2: I think, But yeah, it's it's a shame, but I
Speaker 2: think what we must have? What two weeks to go?
Speaker 2: So we are now very much on the home straight.
Speaker 2: Before we know it, it'll be over and we'll be
Speaker 2: wondering who's going to be the Bachelor for next year?
Speaker 1: Wait? Is it two weeks to go or one week
Speaker 1: to go?
Speaker 2: No, it's like this week and next week. That's pretty
Speaker 2: mu it right, there's like four people going into hometowns,
Speaker 2: so then it'll be three then too. Yeah, next week
Speaker 2: is the final week.
Speaker 1: But there was a lot that happened on these episodes,
Speaker 1: and that's because there were three of them. We are
Speaker 1: unpacking episode eight, nine and ten. Jesus down Chicken, do
Speaker 1: you want to start with number eight? Episode number eight?
Speaker 2: So this date starts off with Holly, and if you
Speaker 2: cast our minds back to the last episode that we watched,
Speaker 2: she had the extra time after my degras, So I
Speaker 2: was like, well, this is going to go really well.
Speaker 2: You know, she's like got a confidence back, she's got
Speaker 2: pizaz and as soon as they get together, instantly you're like,
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, these guys have the most amazing chemistry.
Speaker 2: The conversation is just so free flowing.
Speaker 1: Well, I thought we can weave them together.
Speaker 2: Love that yeah, most of our stories yeah yeah together
Speaker 2: yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean they have a lot to talk about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, come on, come on, yeah. Do you
Speaker 2: reckon they're doing that on purpose?
Speaker 1: Do you remember back though, on their very first single date,
Speaker 1: how they were nervous and they used the word nervous
Speaker 1: over and over, But like, I'm so nervous? Are you
Speaker 1: never so I'm nervous? Maybe we need to put a
Speaker 1: grab in here of all the nervous times.
Speaker 2: Do you the editor? Do you reckon that they are
Speaker 2: stitching them up here? Surely? Surely? Right now?
Speaker 1: I reckon that they I think that they have this
Speaker 1: obviously nervous energy. You know how sometimes when you meet
Speaker 1: someone you've got great chemistry and like you obviously click.
Speaker 1: Even sometimes when I watch it all, when I have
Speaker 1: watched our dates back, I said, like four hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty two times, you remember, Punky made like a reel,
Speaker 1: made like a real Punky made a reel of our date,
Speaker 1: and me just repetitively saying like you.
Speaker 2: Do, say like an awful lot.
Speaker 1: Did you notice I said like that many times?
Speaker 2: I was thinking to myself, if this girl can't stop
Speaker 2: saying that word so many times, and she's going to
Speaker 2: go number two.
Speaker 1: Like it was really hard.
Speaker 2: That should have been the Jeopardy with you as cuts
Speaker 2: to you going like it's just like, I really like
Speaker 2: nice guy.
Speaker 1: It's my filler word. I can't help it, Like is
Speaker 1: my filler word? Every time I hear myself say it
Speaker 1: back on a record, I'm like.
Speaker 2: Oh I tried dating you.
Speaker 1: Oh God, I'm sorry about that.
Speaker 2: Anyway, Today, this state is lovely. This date is really nice.
Speaker 1: They're so lovely. Okay, they have a really nice date.
Speaker 1: It's very sentimental. There's an indigenous woman who is there.
Speaker 1: She lives off country and she is teaching brook and
Speaker 1: Holly how to weave fibers. So they've got natural fibers
Speaker 1: from Brooks country. They've got natural fibers from Holly's country,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna weave them together, their stories intertwining. When
Speaker 1: too big cover.
Speaker 2: I mean production love like a net. Here we go, alright,
Speaker 2: let me know when you're finished.
Speaker 1: They love to Maybe I'll seduce you with that later on.
Speaker 2: Will never ever ever seduce me at all.
Speaker 1: Oh well you can't say I didn't try.
Speaker 2: Goodness meek, but okay, date concept fantastic, great on paper,
Speaker 2: it's just brilliant. There's so much depth to this, As
Speaker 2: you mentioned, very sentimental. Issue is in execution, like nothing
Speaker 2: really happens. I mean, hey, let's be fair. The bracelets
Speaker 2: they make for each other, they're quite nice.
Speaker 1: Can I just say there are very few things like
Speaker 1: watching someone try and paint a picture, for example. It's
Speaker 1: a boring thing to do. It's a boring activity to watch.
Speaker 1: Watching someone make a basket is it particularly boring activity
Speaker 1: to watch? Yeah?
Speaker 2: But I think it comes down to the people. I
Speaker 2: think doesn't matter what the activity is. If the two
Speaker 2: people have great chemistry, they'll make it work and it'll
Speaker 2: be entertaining. I just don't think that Holy and Brook,
Speaker 2: whilst they're really bloody lovely together, they just don't have
Speaker 2: this incredible chemistry.
Speaker 1: Well maybe they have it, maybe they have chemistry, but
Speaker 1: the chemistry is just not entertaining chemistry to watch like.
Speaker 1: It is very pleasant, it is very lovely, but there's
Speaker 1: no banter, there's no humor, and I don't want to
Speaker 1: watch pleasant people be pleasant on TV.
Speaker 2: I'm really lucky that you came on this day. Oh okay,
Speaker 2: So the person I'm really sorry for is the indigenous
Speaker 2: woman who's teaching them to make the baskets.
Speaker 1: She's still sitting there half a meter away watching on,
Speaker 1: being like, what do I do with my hands? Right now?
Speaker 2: She's made like nine baskets. Just trying to occupy yourself
Speaker 2: while these two just tell each other how amazing they are.
Speaker 1: Well, this is what always happens though, right that there's
Speaker 1: always some instructor or somebody like the love coach or
Speaker 1: the lie detect There's always someone just standing there but
Speaker 1: really close by, watching on. They don't leave, They're there
Speaker 1: for the whole activity. It's bloody weird.
Speaker 2: So when we had that on my season, it's because
Speaker 2: I requested it.
Speaker 1: What was who was on our season? Oh? Oh the
Speaker 1: fortune Teller?
Speaker 2: That was it? That was a joke. You missed it?
Speaker 1: You wanted someone's staying in the room watching us.
Speaker 2: Yeah I didn't find that funny.
Speaker 1: I get it now.
Speaker 2: But because I'm made them watch and Laura is like,
Speaker 2: oh yeah, who did we have, Matt? Why is the
Speaker 2: gardener in the bedroom? Kiss me?
Speaker 1: We have that one poison Ivy Vine that he's there
Speaker 1: to tend anyway. Look like we said, they're incredibly pleasant.
Speaker 1: They're very complimentary to each other.
Speaker 2: I do have one complaint. What is it? No dancing?
Speaker 2: Oh holy no dancing. D reckon. She did dance and
Speaker 2: it was edited out.
Speaker 1: They are so pleasant, they are so complimentary to each other.
Speaker 1: I just want to leave you with this one little grab,
Speaker 1: which just if Holly's not there at the finish line,
Speaker 1: if she's not number two, I will eat my own shit. Wow,
Speaker 1: I fair really smitten. If I'm honest, I am Brooks
Speaker 1: Lady in Red.
Speaker 3: No one else's.
Speaker 1: Just kiss you all day. It's like, it's like kidding you,
Speaker 1: like next level. It's crazy, like a little angel. All right,
Speaker 1: we've got three episodes to get through tonight, so let's
Speaker 1: get into the group date.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: This is a bloody weird group date. Why are there
Speaker 1: three kids there?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's weird. I think there were more than three kids.
Speaker 1: No, there were three kids.
Speaker 2: I swear there were more than just three.
Speaker 1: I only saw three.
Speaker 2: Everybody got paired up with a kid, didn't they?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 1: Fucked? Were you watching the show? No?
Speaker 2: I glanced ove, and all of a sudden.
Speaker 1: I was on his phone for like this whole section.
Speaker 1: I thought you were taking notes. There were three kids.
Speaker 1: They're in teams, right.
Speaker 2: Got you? Got you okay? And was there any kind
Speaker 2: of background as to why there were kids there? Because
Speaker 2: we had a group date where we went to a
Speaker 2: daycare I think it was. And the reason we had
Speaker 2: the kids there is because I wanted to be a dad.
Speaker 2: So I was testing out you girls to see what
Speaker 2: you were like with kids, to see who was, you know,
Speaker 2: motherly enough to raise my children.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 2: Like breastfeed the children, We'll see who I can impregnate.
Speaker 1: I will never forget that group date because basically what
Speaker 1: happened was it was a kid's like daycare center. All
Speaker 1: of us girls had to go. There was like seven
Speaker 1: of us girls who were there.
Speaker 2: You were quite rude to your kids. I remember it
Speaker 2: was at one point Laura was like yanking her on
Speaker 2: her arm and the kid was crying and I was like,
Speaker 2: oh God, Laura, come on, turn this around.
Speaker 1: The starters. My kid was a boy and his name
Speaker 1: was Alix and no.
Speaker 2: So all remember our dates so well, don't I.
Speaker 1: Each kid had to choose which girl they wanted, and unfortunately,
Speaker 1: two of the children chose Leah, which meant that no
Speaker 1: child chose me. I was just the one standing at
Speaker 1: there at the end. The reason why I wasn't chosen
Speaker 1: by a child, Thank you, Matthew Johnson, is because I
Speaker 1: didn't force any of them into liking me, whereas the
Speaker 1: other girls did.
Speaker 2: Okay, you keep telling yourself that, Laura.
Speaker 1: I have a good mother.
Speaker 2: You are a very good mother, although I was concerned
Speaker 2: back in the day. Okay, today's challenge is they are
Speaker 2: going to do different kinds of races and activities with
Speaker 2: the kids to see who's not necessarily the fastest or
Speaker 2: the best, but who's having the most fun.
Speaker 1: Where did the three children come from?
Speaker 2: Though?
Speaker 1: That's what I want to know, And they productions kids.
Speaker 2: I swear were five kids, Laura.
Speaker 1: There's three. It was Okay, if I'm about this, I'll
Speaker 1: also eat my own shit. No, but I'm sure there
Speaker 1: was three three teams.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they kind of just shoehorned in the kids into this. Yeah,
Speaker 2: didn't really Like there's always some kind of tenuous link
Speaker 2: to the activity, like the concept of a group date
Speaker 2: and like tying it back to something that's meaningful towards brook.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's usually tied back to a sponsor, and
Speaker 1: then it's tied back to Brooks. So I'm just wondering
Speaker 1: whether a daycare or someone is bringing you this episode.
Speaker 2: Because Mitsubishi kas are super family friendly, hence hence the kids.
Speaker 2: I felt really sorry for Luca because he'd been given
Speaker 2: a bit of a dud child.
Speaker 1: He just got the youngest kid who was a bit slow.
Speaker 2: Very slowly. You'd be filthy if you're Luca, wouldn't you.
Speaker 1: The other two.
Speaker 5: Teams are going so fast, but Jacob's just going on
Speaker 5: his own pace. Slow, hands, steady, Yes, Jacob, you are
Speaker 5: smashing It came back, had the biggest smile on his face.
Speaker 5: He got over the line, and you know that's all
Speaker 5: the counts.
Speaker 2: Oh God, I feel sorry for Luca, poor guy. It's
Speaker 2: been given the slowest kid out of all three or five.
Speaker 2: Let's not get into details about how many kids there were.
Speaker 2: I'm sure he just wants to get that spoon and
Speaker 2: give that child a little.
Speaker 1: Tap, a little whip, like is a little horse that
Speaker 1: was good things not weird. I don't think he can
Speaker 1: smack somebody else's kid. I don't even think he can
Speaker 1: smack your own kid anymore.
Speaker 2: No, I'm quite positive you can't. You can't.
Speaker 1: I'm glad we had that conversation right now. Anyway, do
Speaker 1: you know who would also like to get amongst the
Speaker 1: Smacking's that Millie. It's just got so weird, Millie. Millie
Speaker 1: is taking this game away too seriously. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't blame it though.
Speaker 2: For anyone who didn't watch the episode, there's one game
Speaker 2: where everybody has a ring in front of them and
Speaker 2: they have a number of balls. You then have to
Speaker 2: run and chase get the balls from somebody else's ring
Speaker 2: and put it in your own ring. And then Millie
Speaker 2: is there like fly kicking children.
Speaker 1: There's like a little boy who's just trying to get
Speaker 1: one of the balls, and the other people are like, Milly,
Speaker 1: just let him have a ball. He gets crying in
Speaker 1: the corner because no one will play with him.
Speaker 2: Kids like can I have a ball? And Milli's like,
Speaker 2: get out of here. Kid.
Speaker 1: The whole purpose of this group date is supposed to
Speaker 1: be not about winning, so brook says, it's supposed to
Speaker 1: be about finding the joy in the game and the competition. Sure,
Speaker 1: winning is fun as long as it doesn't overshadow the
Speaker 1: spirit of the day.
Speaker 2: Okay, but not if you're Milli. If you're Milli, you
Speaker 2: can be as competitive as you want. Milly, let him
Speaker 2: get on, Milly, Milly, Milly, Millie.
Speaker 1: Let anyway.
Speaker 2: Honestly, I don't mind Millie's competitive streak.
Speaker 1: I feel like the editors should have just done a
Speaker 1: little sweep over this, Like there was a bit of
Speaker 1: an inconsistency happening here in regards to like how the
Speaker 1: date was supposed to play out, Like it was supposed
Speaker 1: to be about the spirit of the game. But then
Speaker 1: Brooke was saying, but it's okay if Millie's competitive, and
Speaker 1: then Kurt got the extra time because he was really
Speaker 1: good with the kids. The whole thing just didn't have
Speaker 1: very good structure. Yeah, it is what I'm going to say.
Speaker 2: It was messy, and I want to put blame on
Speaker 2: Asher as well, who was mediating this game. He should
Speaker 2: have stepped in, I mean, want to be fair. He
Speaker 2: was trying to give people like ten second penalties, which
Speaker 2: didn't really have any effect at all.
Speaker 1: Well, he was the referee, but he's also just usher.
Speaker 1: But I want to ask, how much do you think
Speaker 1: this date would have cost?
Speaker 2: Oh like five grand five.
Speaker 1: Thousand dollars for what it was two haula hoops and
Speaker 1: ten balls.
Speaker 2: Put an e and spoon rays. He put me on
Speaker 2: the spot. They had had to hire the field, didn't they.
Speaker 2: So that's going to be a couple of grand Okay,
Speaker 2: maybe maybe three hundred bucks if that two hundred bucks
Speaker 2: from cam Ut.
Speaker 1: Well it's a good thing that no one's watching, isn't it.
Speaker 2: Why do you ask?
Speaker 1: Because, like, I mean, what happened? What happened to the budgets?
Speaker 1: What happened to like the grandiose states? Where are they Bachelor?
Speaker 1: We missed them? Where's my helicopter?
Speaker 2: Yeah there was, Yeah, there's my boat. It was lacking, definitely.
Speaker 2: Do people really want that? Do they want to watch that?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: They do want to watch that, don't they.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that's exactly what people want to watch.
Speaker 1: Otherwise you can just go down to the soccer field
Speaker 1: and watch a couple of people kick a ball around.
Speaker 2: I guess what they are still doing though, which is
Speaker 2: nice is that after you know, the group date, they
Speaker 2: do have that extended session. So this time it was Kurt,
Speaker 2: so he gets to have like a little sit down.
Speaker 2: They have a beautiful setup in a cushions a seat.
Speaker 2: They're wening crystal glasses and some wine.
Speaker 1: Like that's exactly what they always do after every date
Speaker 1: on The Bachelor.
Speaker 2: That's impressive, was it not?
Speaker 6: Not really?
Speaker 1: Nah, just like cute intimacy time, but Kirk got the
Speaker 1: extra time after the group date.
Speaker 2: Tim two point oh? Who would have thought that Tim
Speaker 2: two point would have been good with kids?
Speaker 1: He's actually like a little closet sweetheart. I love Tim
Speaker 1: two point oh. He's better than the Tim one point oh.
Speaker 2: Who I completely agree?
Speaker 1: Sorry, Timm, if you're listening, you're definitely not listening.
Speaker 2: He does get quite nervous, though, don't you think when
Speaker 2: he gets a loane time with Brooke? Bless his cotton.
Speaker 1: Socks for somebody who is quite quiet and reserved when
Speaker 1: it's in the group date setting. He definitely doesn't hold
Speaker 1: back when he is on one on one time. Brooke
Speaker 1: just wanted to She wanted to the surface a little
Speaker 1: bit more, because realistically, Tim two point zero and Brook
Speaker 1: have not spent very much time together. They've probably had
Speaker 1: the least amount of time out of everyone so far.
Speaker 2: Has he had a single date.
Speaker 1: I think he's only had a group extension.
Speaker 2: Ah, he's gone yeah, see mate, dead man walking to
Speaker 2: your thoughts on marriage?
Speaker 3: I do want to get married. I want my partner
Speaker 3: to know that I'm in it for her, and I'm
Speaker 3: in it because you know, I want to be there
Speaker 3: for everything that goes wrong. I want to be there
Speaker 3: for everything that goes wrong, and I want her to
Speaker 3: know that I'm truly in love with her. And I
Speaker 3: know you don't need probably manage to do that. But
Speaker 3: you know, things like your vows I think are pretty special.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Do you think at this point Brook is just sitting
Speaker 1: there like fucking please stop speaking?
Speaker 2: No, no, in that position, it's great because you're really exhausted.
Speaker 2: You've had a really long, hard day. So to sit
Speaker 2: down with somebody who can just talk and talk and
Speaker 2: talk and talk. Ah, it's great.
Speaker 1: It's like she's like, what are your thoughts on marriage expecting? Like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I love to get married one day and settled out
Speaker 1: and have some kids. And then Tim two point oho
Speaker 1: dives into a five minute monologue that production had to cuts.
Speaker 1: They were like, we don't have enough time. We've got
Speaker 1: one hour for this episode.
Speaker 2: No, that's the dream, because you know those sit downs
Speaker 2: are only like ten or fifteen minutes maybe twenty minutes
Speaker 2: at the most. So if Tim two point oh just
Speaker 2: eats up all that time answering two questions, it's game over.
Speaker 2: Then you get to go home and go to bed.
Speaker 1: But he seems like genuinely so into Brook at this
Speaker 1: point of time, like he seems like he's really invested.
Speaker 1: But they've had no time. Yeah, you don't reckon he is.
Speaker 2: Nah, I'm not feeling it, you know, not feeling it
Speaker 2: at or sorry Tim two point oh, Hey, this cocktail party,
Speaker 2: very stressful situation, Laura. Everyone's quite high strung.
Speaker 1: Or where Krening or karning? Which one?
Speaker 3: Is it?
Speaker 2: Careering?
Speaker 1: Careering? Orkrening careering? Are they not interchangeable?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Cool, all right, let's google that. After this,
Speaker 1: they are heading eight four hometowns, so everyone's bringing out
Speaker 1: the big guns of big stops.
Speaker 2: You will, Yeah, okay, let's roll with. Everybody was pulling
Speaker 2: out all the stops to try and press Brook to
Speaker 2: get the final single date. Who do you think was
Speaker 2: the most impressive. Let's just remind everybody that Luca I.
Speaker 1: Really enjoy this. Because Matt rechecked back into the episode
Speaker 1: at this point and started taking notes, so he knows
Speaker 1: exactly what happened.
Speaker 2: This is the only part of the episode I've paid
Speaker 2: close attention to. All Right, So Laura, let's go through everybody.
Speaker 2: Luca had a model jet plane and also some picks.
Speaker 1: What was the jet plane supposed to represent?
Speaker 2: Because their date was on a jet plane? Yeah, and
Speaker 2: you have a go with me for not paying attention
Speaker 2: Jesus so.
Speaker 1: Long in the past. I mean, Luke, we all know
Speaker 1: Luca's going home and what.
Speaker 2: Was the jet plane meaning? Because that's what they flew
Speaker 2: on on their first date. Okay, So Millie had sang
Speaker 2: Gria because she has Spanish, you know, family heritage.
Speaker 1: I'm surprised she didn't bring the paramount logo and a
Speaker 1: key ring.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that one. Jamie Lee writes a letter.
Speaker 1: Oh Jamie Lee, give up Skiver.
Speaker 2: She just pouring out heart and soul into every little
Speaker 2: interaction that she has with Brooks.
Speaker 1: She really is, isn't she? Like every single time she
Speaker 1: gets to spend five minutes with brook she's just like,
Speaker 1: please love me, the poor thing. But like, she's done
Speaker 1: a letter. The opening night was a letter. She's made
Speaker 1: a photo album, she's written another letter. Like I just
Speaker 1: feel like if Brook doesn't know how Jamie Lee feels.
Speaker 1: Yet there isn't no ambiguity around how Jamie Lee feels.
Speaker 1: Brook is well and truly aware. But you know when
Speaker 1: you get I mean like, I'm sure everybody's experienced this,
Speaker 1: but where you kind of like someone like you think like, oh, exploring,
Speaker 1: like how this is going to be, But then they
Speaker 1: come on so strong and so hard that you're like, wow,
Speaker 1: it's a bit too much. Do you don't feel like
Speaker 1: it's happened to you?
Speaker 2: Do you think Jamie Lee is the stage five? Then?
Speaker 1: Oh, do you think she's getting stage five edit a
Speaker 1: little bit?
Speaker 2: Yeah, but she's like a low key stage five, like just.
Speaker 1: Like a chill stage because I stage four, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Stage three and a half. Let's let's be fair. Whenever
Speaker 2: I watched Jamie Lee, I do really think like I'm
Speaker 2: rooting for her.
Speaker 1: I am, But I also continuously asked the question of like,
Speaker 1: why didn't you just send her a text message in
Speaker 1: the outside world, like you know how the Bachelor series works.
Speaker 1: Why did you wait until she was on the show
Speaker 1: to apply through producers to get on a show again
Speaker 1: to then tell your friend that you love your friend?
Speaker 1: Couldn't you have just done that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like, I completely agree my text. Let's talk about Will,
Speaker 2: the guy the mustache. A lot of people probably don't know.
Speaker 1: Who Will is. Will is very ripped, ripped Will, but
Speaker 1: he gave a ring. Will was the intruder. He's extremely ripped,
Speaker 1: has very little body fat, and I think it rings
Speaker 1: any bells. I think there we go very irrelevant. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's got a mustache. You've got a mustache.
Speaker 2: I think he said a total of about eight words
Speaker 2: so far across the season.
Speaker 1: It's not surprising that he goes home tonight Conrad.
Speaker 2: Conrad also gives jewelry.
Speaker 1: Also not surprising, Conrad has great painted nails tonight though
Speaker 1: boy girl colors. They have a cute little conversation about
Speaker 1: how many kids they want love that, whether they're going
Speaker 1: to call them, all that sort of stuff. I like Conrad,
Speaker 1: I mean, he's my favorite now.
Speaker 2: And David. He organizes the delivery of some flowers, but
Speaker 2: he doesn't give them himself. He gets like one of
Speaker 2: the weight staff to deliver it anonymously.
Speaker 1: I feel like it makes it very easy when everybody
Speaker 1: else has already done some sort of like thing. Every
Speaker 1: other person's gotten up and done some gesture, and then
Speaker 1: David's the only one who hasn't, But then an anonymous
Speaker 1: bunch of flowers rocks up. It also seems that David
Speaker 1: has completely forgotten the point of the Bachelor. He's forgotten
Speaker 1: how this whole thing works.
Speaker 2: I just wanted to get you something.
Speaker 6: I feel like you've been giving us everything.
Speaker 2: You've been taking him on dates, You've been giving roses. Okay,
Speaker 2: do you know what my gripe is, Laura with the
Speaker 2: flowers and Darvid what it's the fact that he wouldn't
Speaker 2: have had to do anything, anything at all, to organize
Speaker 2: the delivery of these flowers. Like all he would have
Speaker 2: had to have done is go to production and say
Speaker 2: I want a big bouquet of flowers. Production would have said,
Speaker 2: we have two hundred dollars to spend. He would have said, great.
Speaker 1: Make them a white bunch with a bit of green
Speaker 1: in it. That is it.
Speaker 2: There is nothing romantic about that at all.
Speaker 1: Do you know it's so funny that you say this
Speaker 1: and so for anybody like so that you know kind
Speaker 1: of how these things work. Anything that you want brought
Speaker 1: into a cocktail party or any sort of like activity
Speaker 1: that you want to do with the Bachelor or the bachelorette.
Speaker 1: You have to organize it through production because you don't
Speaker 1: have the you don't have access to the internet. It's
Speaker 1: not like David was just getting up on like flowers
Speaker 1: now on same day delivery, like he couldn't he couldn't
Speaker 1: order them. So I think what's happened at this cocktail
Speaker 1: party is that the contestants have been told that they
Speaker 1: have to organize an activity, that every single one of
Speaker 1: them had to show up with something ready to go.
Speaker 1: That was like the purpose of the cocktail party. And
Speaker 1: so when you think about it, out of all of them,
Speaker 1: David kind of did the least, like having a bunch
Speaker 1: of flowers rock up that's been put together by an
Speaker 1: external company, that's been all by production. On your behalf,
Speaker 1: it's the least amount of effort out of everybody else,
Speaker 1: Like Jamie Lee wrote a letter that takes time that's
Speaker 1: heartfelt's and getting like a necklace with a rose on
Speaker 1: it or whatever it was that Conrad gave, like all
Speaker 1: of the other things had a little bit more sentimentality
Speaker 1: to it. And then he's dark and he's like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: we had a five got some flowers.
Speaker 2: He didn't even run a card with his name on it.
Speaker 1: It was just like anonymous yeah, from a secret admirer. Anyway,
Speaker 1: Davia got the rose, he got the next single date
Speaker 1: coming up.
Speaker 2: Can you tell we're a bit bitter about it? Doesn't
Speaker 2: make any sense.
Speaker 1: I'm like a I'm a Conrad convert. That's why I know.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 2: Whenever Conrad doesn't get extra time or a date, I'm
Speaker 2: there like flipping the coffee table, I'm throwing glasses against
Speaker 2: the wall. I'm annoyed.
Speaker 1: I also just think like Conrad's a little bit of
Speaker 1: a sulker, Like if he doesn't get a date with
Speaker 1: Brook or if someone else gets chosen, he like he
Speaker 1: just like low key sulks. But it's kind of cute.
Speaker 2: He's like a sad little puppy that you just want
Speaker 2: to cuddle. Let's talk about the fact that Luca went home,
Speaker 2: which I thought was quite surprising.
Speaker 1: I didn't I wasn't vibing them together. I kind of
Speaker 1: thought Will and Luc are going home. I'm not surprised.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, the reason why I find it surprising we
Speaker 2: didn't buy it. But at the same time, when they
Speaker 2: had their single date, Rooke was like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: I see such a future with him. He's so incredible.
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see where this goes. And then
Speaker 2: a week later he's.
Speaker 1: Gone, no, we know that intruders never win.
Speaker 2: We said that, we said that they never do, and
Speaker 2: Ripped Will also went.
Speaker 1: Home absolutely no surprise to anyone after seven words. Let's
Speaker 1: get into episodes. Okay, episode number nine now, episode number nine, Oh,
Speaker 1: the cheeky little Devil's try and throw a spanner in
Speaker 1: the works with us here, and by that, they're shaking
Speaker 1: things up and mixing it down because we don't have
Speaker 1: a single date to start. We're starting with a group date.
Speaker 2: I love the fact that this is a point that
Speaker 2: you really focused on.
Speaker 1: Like everything else has been so boring, so the change
Speaker 1: was really refreshing for me.
Speaker 2: It didn't mean anything to me, and you grab me
Speaker 2: and you're like, oh my gosh. I was thinking, what
Speaker 2: is it, Laura. They started this episode.
Speaker 1: On a group date, so they're really trying to do
Speaker 1: something for the ratings here quick.
Speaker 2: What can we do flip the dates around?
Speaker 1: Well, they've gotten rid of the date cards and instead
Speaker 1: of the date cards, we'll just mix the dates up anyway.
Speaker 1: This group date, we're doing a live drawing class, because
Speaker 1: if basketmaking wasn't boring enough, watching some people draw someone
Speaker 1: certainly is. So Brook is going to be the life model.
Speaker 1: She is the one who's going to be nude sitting
Speaker 1: there whilst everybody sits around her and paints. But they're
Speaker 1: going deep, like they do in every episode at the moment,
Speaker 1: they're getting really conceptual.
Speaker 2: Because they're not painting Brook literally, they're painting what she
Speaker 2: represents inside and out.
Speaker 1: It's a metaphor for who Brook is.
Speaker 2: Getting deep so okay.
Speaker 1: The one thing about this is that Brook is very
Speaker 1: nervous about being naked in front of all of the contestants.
Speaker 2: Well was didn't She just so nervous There was there
Speaker 2: was a point where the makeup artist came out, gave
Speaker 2: her a little touch up, parted her on the nose.
Speaker 2: She goes, Brookie, Brookie, you're gonna be okay, and then
Speaker 2: Brooke says, yeah, the nerves are really starting to show.
Speaker 1: So I at this point thought that she must be
Speaker 1: getting a little bit more bound.
Speaker 2: She got well where yeah, I thought she was going
Speaker 2: to go full nude.
Speaker 1: Like full nude, that's what live drawing is, full nude.
Speaker 2: Like Kiaren Stott that times. Remember, yes, he came in, someone.
Speaker 1: Bring back Kiri. I never thought i'd say that, fuck,
Speaker 1: can someone give him the call up? Where's he when
Speaker 1: you need him?
Speaker 2: So she did it quite tastefully.
Speaker 1: She wasn't nude. She was wrapped in a bed like
Speaker 1: literally in like a king sized doner.
Speaker 5: It was.
Speaker 2: She was quite covered up, wasn't she, Which is like, which.
Speaker 1: Is fine totally, but I mean, like, I think that
Speaker 1: it was very much hammed up. I would say that
Speaker 1: Brook has worn less two cocktail parties than what she
Speaker 1: has worn at the live drawing cloth.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean a mini skirt is more revealing than that.
Speaker 1: Honestly, the only thing that you could see for anybody,
Speaker 1: if you haven't seen the episode and you're relying on
Speaker 1: us to recap, the only thing that you could see
Speaker 1: of Brook was her shoulder, her declotage, the colotage declotage,
Speaker 1: and you could see part of her back. So it
Speaker 1: was kind of like the drape sheet red thing like Saturin.
Speaker 1: It was very paint me like one of your French girls,
Speaker 1: but it was extremely modest, Like, I don't think it
Speaker 1: was very revealing at all. Do you know that I
Speaker 1: once did live drawing. Did you really like I was
Speaker 1: the live model in the live drawing class.
Speaker 2: I've always wanted to know, like how long do you
Speaker 2: have to stand or sit there? Like average time?
Speaker 6: Wait?
Speaker 1: How are you not more shocked? How was your question?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 1: Oh, how long did you have to sit there for?
Speaker 1: Like did you know this?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: I didn't, Well I knew that you did art at UNI,
Speaker 2: so just assumed the artist had nude Yeah, well kind of.
Speaker 1: So what happened was is like I'm like, I'm like
Speaker 1: upset that you didn't ask for a questions.
Speaker 2: Oh, I want to know how you know I'm getting there? Okay,
Speaker 2: how long?
Speaker 1: Wait?
Speaker 5: Wait?
Speaker 2: Well, god, Laura, that is that is crazy? Oh my goodness,
Speaker 2: I had no idea. We've never spoken about this before.
Speaker 1: They don't pay you much. I only got paid one
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty dollars. It wasn't worth it.
Speaker 2: One hundred and fifty dollars. And why did you want
Speaker 2: to do it?
Speaker 1: Because I used to do live drawing classes Like that's
Speaker 1: that's guys, this is going back a very long time ago.
Speaker 1: I was an artist. That's where I thought I wanted
Speaker 1: to be. And I moved to bar and Bay and
Speaker 1: I was very poor. Yeah, I was studying to do
Speaker 1: live drawing. That was my course I was doing. And
Speaker 1: it's really hard to find people who will be live models,
Speaker 1: and so we were always short of live models for
Speaker 1: our classes, and all the other classes were always short
Speaker 1: with models. So people who were doing the course would
Speaker 1: also live model for other other courses in the area.
Speaker 2: Oh great, great, yeah, And how long would you have
Speaker 2: to sit there or stand there? Would sit or stand?
Speaker 2: What's normal?
Speaker 1: You can do? I mean you do you change positions,
Speaker 1: So it depends on if they're doing like a painting,
Speaker 1: it can be a longer period, so like how long, Well,
Speaker 1: like usually no more than an hour, an hour and
Speaker 1: a half. Oh that's fine, Yeah, it's not like you're
Speaker 1: sitting there order, But I mean some do, some go
Speaker 1: for way longer than that. But ours were like an
Speaker 1: hour and a half and they were usually like more
Speaker 1: quick drawings, so you would change positions every like few minutes,
Speaker 1: and they would do like a quick sketch. There's more
Speaker 1: like fluid movement drawings.
Speaker 2: Okay, question.
Speaker 1: I like that we've gotten into this. This is going
Speaker 1: back like fifteen years ago for me, guys, and I
Speaker 1: really like have suppress these memories.
Speaker 2: Did anybody at any point like stare too much and
Speaker 2: you're like, I know that you finished your painting there, buddy.
Speaker 1: And spuriously masturbating next to the hezel.
Speaker 2: Yeah, did they ever happen?
Speaker 1: No, it was surprisingly didn't.
Speaker 2: Okay, No, No one flashing themselves. Well, that's nice. It's
Speaker 2: always a bit, I guess in that situation if someone
Speaker 2: is flashing themselves, it'd be disappointing, wouldn't it.
Speaker 1: It's so unsexual, Like it's so unsexy and like you're
Speaker 1: not doing erotic poses. Like it's very demure.
Speaker 2: So it's not like your legs behind your head if anything.
Speaker 1: You're just sitting there nude, like it was a man
Speaker 1: with my legs on the myad, thank you, thank you
Speaker 1: for that. You're just sitting there nude. You're just sitting
Speaker 1: and then and like everything's closed, like you're.
Speaker 2: Like, paint me all right, fuckers, let's get it done.
Speaker 1: I wasn't in a porno okay, daily mail.
Speaker 2: Fuck normally in that environment, Laura, is it exciting? What's
Speaker 2: the mood? Like it is?
Speaker 1: If you were going to be someone sitting observing people
Speaker 1: live draw you would probably assume it is the most
Speaker 1: boring thing in the world.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, so kind.
Speaker 1: Of sets the tone day, doesn't it. No one's talking,
Speaker 1: no one's laughing.
Speaker 2: You know, it's a really great piece of TV is
Speaker 2: when no one is talking and no one is laughing.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is certainly not going to do anything
Speaker 1: for their ratings, is it.
Speaker 2: How did production think that this is going to be
Speaker 2: a good idea? Well?
Speaker 1: I mean, to be fair, it seems like this was
Speaker 1: all Brooks idea. This was actually my idea. It came
Speaker 1: from a bit of a dream that I had.
Speaker 2: All right, So what she's trying to say is this
Speaker 2: one is my idea. Unlike every other date that has
Speaker 2: been organized by production.
Speaker 1: Do you know what? The one standout though for this
Speaker 1: date was like, nobody's talking and then Tim two point
Speaker 1: zero Kurt Kurk. He just punctuates the silence with, hey,
Speaker 1: how do you make the color gray? And then Holly's
Speaker 1: sitting there and she goes, it's black and white? Like,
Speaker 1: are you kidding me?
Speaker 3: It's kind of confusing me. You know, I need the
Speaker 3: basic one oh one art painting lesson where it's like,
Speaker 3: you know, this is green, this is red green and
Speaker 3: red make yellow?
Speaker 1: So not only is This a very revealing group date
Speaker 1: for Brook. We see more of Brook than what we
Speaker 1: ever had. It's also a very revealing group date for Kurt.
Speaker 1: We finally realized that the guy's color blind.
Speaker 2: Okay, no surprise here, though, that Conrad is an absolute standout.
Speaker 1: Well, he has the unfair advantage. It turns out that
Speaker 1: both of his parents are artists, so he kind of
Speaker 1: you would expect something a little bit more conceptual and
Speaker 1: deep from him.
Speaker 2: Well, I was expecting something a bit more professional from Conrad,
Speaker 2: like I don't want to shit on his paintings. But
Speaker 2: it was pretty messy, don't you think, And like the turtle,
Speaker 2: like what there's and the adoptive child was a star.
Speaker 1: That was good. Okay, No, I love the concept. I'm
Speaker 1: like ten out of ten for conceptualization, Like this was
Speaker 1: great from Conrad. The meaning behind it had great purpose,
Speaker 1: but the execution they really tried to drum it up
Speaker 1: as though this was like an Archibald entry.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was like, I was expecting something stunning incredible,
Speaker 2: But I mean, Conrad, I still love the guy, but
Speaker 2: I just don't think his heart was that impressive. Although
Speaker 2: Brook she was in tears.
Speaker 1: Brook's always in tears from pries on every date.
Speaker 2: Don't you think it was weird that when everybody had
Speaker 2: to sit down revealed with their painting, the rest of
Speaker 2: the group date watched on in a separate room.
Speaker 1: It's I wonder if Brook was aware, Like Brook would
Speaker 1: have known right that everybody else was watching? Or would
Speaker 1: she have not known that everybody else was watching?
Speaker 2: No, I think she would have known. I reckon, she
Speaker 2: must have, but it was I mean, it would be
Speaker 2: weird to watch Conrad and Brook interacting like that and
Speaker 2: Brooks literally in tears at the side of Conrad's picture
Speaker 2: of her.
Speaker 1: I do remember back on our season one of the
Speaker 1: group dates towards the end, we had to We were
Speaker 1: at this like old mansion in the back of Dover
Speaker 1: Heights and the girls had to write. I can't remember
Speaker 1: if it was writing a letter or it was something.
Speaker 1: It was something that was very vulnerable, and we had
Speaker 1: to sit in a room and watch each other present
Speaker 1: that letter. Like I didn't have to do it because
Speaker 1: I was already out, so yeah, anyway, but we had
Speaker 1: to watch everybody else do it. I think what production
Speaker 1: we're trying to get out of us was like a
Speaker 1: little bit of cattiness or a little bit of I
Speaker 1: can't believe they did that or said that, But it's
Speaker 1: really intimidating watching someone who you're friends with talk about
Speaker 1: all that yet out totally. It's like, it really shakes
Speaker 1: your your belief in what you have make. It shakes
Speaker 1: your belief in your connection that you have with the
Speaker 1: bachelor of Bachelorette. So I feel like when everybody was
Speaker 1: watching Brook with David or Brook with Holly and how
Speaker 1: Holly and her were holding hands and really caressing each other,
Speaker 1: and then how she cried with Conrad, it would have
Speaker 1: been very unnerving to people like Tim two point oh
Speaker 1: or Jamie Lee who don't seem to have as strong connections.
Speaker 2: Tim twopono comes in with his finger painting, being like,
Speaker 2: here you go, here's my picture for you. Brooks like, thanks, buddy,
Speaker 2: see ya.
Speaker 1: Actually it was actually pretty good. Wait what did you do? No, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I forgot I thought for a second his was David's,
Speaker 1: which was like when you walk into a room it
Speaker 1: turns to full color. That was Darvid, not Tim two
Speaker 1: point oh. Unsurprisingly, though, Conrad gets the extra time, and
Speaker 1: now this extra time with Conrad, Oh, the wheels are
Speaker 1: fallen off.
Speaker 2: The wagon, mate, just when I thought he could do
Speaker 2: no wrong.
Speaker 1: Basically, Conrad and Brook, their connections seems so unshakable and
Speaker 1: so strong right now. And Conrad is just this. He
Speaker 1: is this sensitive, emotional strong man. He's so oh, he's
Speaker 1: so duplicious. There's so much going on with him.
Speaker 2: I love it all right, settle down, Laura, However, I mean, I.
Speaker 1: Know that you're a Conrad. You're taken with Abby Chatfield,
Speaker 1: and I'm also taken with Mad Maddie j You're a
Speaker 1: beautiful man. I think you're gonna be fine when Brooke
Speaker 1: breaks your heart. There's gonna be plenty of women waiting
Speaker 1: and lining up for you.
Speaker 2: The one question that really trips him up is when
Speaker 2: Brooke asks what's the future going to look like? Together?
Speaker 1: And I guess for Conrad it's because he has just
Speaker 1: entered into this really transient time in his life. Like
Speaker 1: he explains that he's quit his job as a carpenter,
Speaker 1: which I think is alarming to Brook because when he
Speaker 1: came into the house, he was like, Hey, let's make
Speaker 1: a love seat. I'm a carpenter. Even the little thing,
Speaker 1: the little bio at the bottom of the screen was
Speaker 1: like Carpenter Conrad thirty one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and now he's like, I fucking hate Carree.
Speaker 1: I'm jobless. Like sorry, I'm just figuring some shit out
Speaker 1: like I was when I was in my twenties.
Speaker 2: And how old is he?
Speaker 1: He's thirty one?
Speaker 2: Okay. Do you think that's a red flag that a
Speaker 2: thirty one year old has quit their job with no
Speaker 2: real sense of direction as to where they're going to
Speaker 2: head next.
Speaker 1: That was a big complex question. I think it depends
Speaker 1: on what you want as the person getting into the relationship.
Speaker 1: Like if I was where I am now in life,
Speaker 1: and I obviously I mean like pre kids and stuff,
Speaker 1: but if I wanted to meet someone settle down, start
Speaker 1: a family and all that stuff, and I was genuinely like,
Speaker 1: I am looking for my life partner because I want
Speaker 1: to settle down, have kids, progress my life. Like if
Speaker 1: that's what I was faced with when we met.
Speaker 2: Then it's not aligned.
Speaker 1: I would have been like, I can't be with someone
Speaker 1: who is at a point in their life where they
Speaker 1: want to go and figure out who they are and
Speaker 1: what they want to be, because I'm like, I need
Speaker 1: someone who kind of knows that so we can hit
Speaker 1: the ground running, don't you think. Ye, So I understand
Speaker 1: why Brooks a little bit like, Okay, well what does
Speaker 1: this mean for us? And I also don't think that
Speaker 1: she's saying you need to know everything right now, But
Speaker 1: I guess she just kind of wants a little bit
Speaker 1: of clarity. And unfortunately, I think that that may be
Speaker 1: one thing that Conrad. I'm a very like logical and
Speaker 1: pretty real person.
Speaker 2: So for me, like, I'm just trying to picture what
Speaker 2: Conrad and Brooks life and looks like.
Speaker 4: So well, I don't think chasing materialistic things is going
Speaker 4: to give me fulfillment and happiness, right, Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4: But making other people happy makes me really happy. So
Speaker 4: if I can use that to generate an income, awesome.
Speaker 2: I think that I can get FUFILM in that way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, imagine being on the Bachelor. Imagine being on
Speaker 1: the Bachelor, quitting your job to go on a reality
Speaker 1: TV show to become a reality TV star. And someone says,
Speaker 1: I'm just don't know how I'm going to generate an
Speaker 1: income doing something that might make people happy.
Speaker 2: I mean, I wonder what it could be. What do
Speaker 2: you think he's going to do with his own I mean,
Speaker 2: come on, Conrad, just say it like it is.
Speaker 1: He's going to be an influencer and he's got.
Speaker 2: Influencer written all over it, Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Or he's going to be a clown he could like, yes, hey,
Speaker 1: let's not judge too quick. Now, what else could he
Speaker 1: do that would make people happy and generating an income?
Speaker 1: Not that influencing makes people happy, but like you know,
Speaker 1: we're addicted to social media, and social media makes us happy. So,
Speaker 1: like you know, maybe in some weird roundabout way.
Speaker 2: Maybe he wants to be a massuse.
Speaker 1: Non material makes people happy, generates an income.
Speaker 2: No, he wants to be an influencer.
Speaker 1: Maybe he wants to be a tantric sex instructor.
Speaker 2: He wants to be an influencer. Let's let's not beat
Speaker 2: around the bush.
Speaker 1: I just think maybe maybe we will see Conrad influencing
Speaker 1: people to buy things that make them happy.
Speaker 2: Way, I will literally buy anything that that guy is
Speaker 2: going to promote to me, whether it's teeth whitening, hair removal,
Speaker 2: you name it, I'll buy it. I don't care.
Speaker 1: Do you know what he's probably insinuating. He's going to
Speaker 1: start selling happy skin coat laser hair removal, like all
Speaker 1: the influences.
Speaker 2: He's like, if any brands out there are listening and
Speaker 2: want to make other people.
Speaker 1: Happy, happybag, happy Kinko. Anyway, this episode is absolutely not
Speaker 1: brought to you by them.
Speaker 2: Obviously, Conrad's story had to take a turn at some point,
Speaker 2: and so here we have it that mass jeopardy that
Speaker 2: really does confirm the fact that he is going to
Speaker 2: be number three.
Speaker 1: One hundred percent. I'm gunning for Conrad to be number three.
Speaker 1: Let's get into the single date, which is with David. David,
Speaker 1: we already knew. Okay, they're lovely pleasant again, There's so
Speaker 1: much pleasant stuff going on in these episodes. I just
Speaker 1: want a little bit of a shakeup. I know, Okay,
Speaker 1: this is really bad to say. I know it's everything
Speaker 1: is very politically correct, and I don't want anything to
Speaker 1: be wildly offensive. But I just want a bit of
Speaker 1: like someone to do something wrong so we can all
Speaker 1: get angry about it and then there's something to talk about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's there's no one's really rocked the boat at all.
Speaker 2: And this date, hey, look it was it was nice.
Speaker 1: But it was you know, I mean it was just
Speaker 1: a copy of Abby chat Phil and mad Agne a
Speaker 1: date where they went and squid some grapes out in the.
Speaker 2: Field exactly the same buckets as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean production still had them in the art department,
Speaker 1: so they just whipped them out and got some grapes
Speaker 1: from Wolaves.
Speaker 2: I thought it was a bit much when you started
Speaker 2: fingering Brook though, And if you don't know what I'm
Speaker 2: talking about, have a listen to this.
Speaker 1: For the record, in case anyone's unsure there.
Speaker 2: Was no fingering on this date.
Speaker 1: I mean, we don't know. It probably was. That was
Speaker 1: definitely darvid and Brook's feet just sinking into a couple
Speaker 1: of grapes, making some good old table grapes into wine.
Speaker 1: H love that it was Actually made me feel uncomfortable
Speaker 1: when they did the close up shot of the grapes
Speaker 1: and all of the juice and their feet. I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I felt like I was in it, like I was
Speaker 1: in my mouth. I kind of liked it, you would,
Speaker 1: do you know who else liked it?
Speaker 2: Who's that Brookie?
Speaker 1: Okay, I stitched him up, but it was an excuse
Speaker 1: to get nuts in close for them and maybe see
Speaker 1: his food.
Speaker 2: Who would have thought Brooke having a foot fetish?
Speaker 1: I mean I wouldn't have picked it but good for her.
Speaker 2: Did David have nice feet? I didn't get a good glimpse.
Speaker 1: No, I don't think anyone has nice feet, particularly not me.
Speaker 2: Should we talk about your feet for a second, I mean,
Speaker 2: I don't want to put you on the spot.
Speaker 1: Hey how about you tell everyone about my feet? What's
Speaker 1: wrong with them?
Speaker 2: Matt? You nothing is wrong with your feet, except you say.
Speaker 1: I have sausage toes.
Speaker 2: They're like little chip chippilatachipp lata toes. They're so like
Speaker 2: small and fat. But one thing that you do, one
Speaker 2: thing that you do constantly. I don't know why this is,
Speaker 2: but constantly your pinky toe the nail is ripped off
Speaker 2: and it's bleeding always, like I would say ninety percent
Speaker 2: of the time. Like I remember yesterday I looked at
Speaker 2: your toes and both left and right foot pinky toe
Speaker 2: missing a nail and dried blood was there. And I
Speaker 2: looked at you and I said, hey, Laura, what happened?
Speaker 2: And you're like, I don't know. I hit some stuff.
Speaker 1: It's I think my little toe sticks out on a
Speaker 1: weird angle because I catch lips everything.
Speaker 2: Those poor toes. Honestly, those pinkies have been through enough.
Speaker 1: But also my toenails are like split in half, Like
Speaker 1: my pinky toenails is split in half, so like half
Speaker 1: the nail. It's like I've always got a perpetual hangnail.
Speaker 1: It's really not okay. I'm so glad that you didn't
Speaker 1: take me into a wine buck and I kept my
Speaker 1: feet unto wraps for.
Speaker 2: So long drinking that wine with crusty blood and toenail
Speaker 2: mixed in delicious.
Speaker 1: Oh man, look, okay, let's get back to the date
Speaker 1: for two seconds.
Speaker 2: Like, no, nothing else happened, nothing else happens.
Speaker 1: They're so pleasant, exactly like what a wine do we
Speaker 1: keep talking about this? They're so pleasant, everything is pleasant,
Speaker 1: but they're also so boring.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, let's let's wrap it up, and it's gonna
Speaker 2: be darvied. Yeah, it's gonna be darvied cocktail party. Interesting
Speaker 2: that Conrad Paul's brooke aside.
Speaker 1: Obviously he probably didn't she pulled him aside because you
Speaker 1: weren't watching.
Speaker 2: Let's not get bogged down in the details. But obviously
Speaker 2: at some point I reckon Conrad did some self reflection,
Speaker 2: probably thought to himself, Oh, I've really put my foot
Speaker 2: in it with that answer about what the future is
Speaker 2: going to look.
Speaker 1: Like, because like I probably should try and imply that
Speaker 1: I have a job. Yea, that I'm employed, But.
Speaker 2: Laura, he digs a hole even deeper.
Speaker 4: I think a future with me would be like, you know,
Speaker 4: we get up early, we go for runs, or if
Speaker 4: you wanted to sleep in, and I'd have your coffee
Speaker 4: ready for you because I'm up at four thirty five,
Speaker 4: but I won't wake you. I'll just get your coffee, Kim.
Speaker 1: Okay, if some guy said to me I have no
Speaker 1: job and I get up at four thirty am this morning,
Speaker 1: holy shit, you are not my soulmate.
Speaker 2: That's a nightmare.
Speaker 1: And look, this is okay. I know there's gonna be
Speaker 1: some people who are listening to this and they're like,
Speaker 1: don't judge people who don't have jobs. I get it,
Speaker 1: it's mostly a joke, but I also don't want to
Speaker 1: be with someone who gets up at four thirty every
Speaker 1: single morning. Who the fuck wants to do that, especially
Speaker 1: if he's not going to a job.
Speaker 2: God, Conrad, what are you doing? Mate?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: I honestly thought I thought Conrad was going to go
Speaker 2: this episode and Kevin's he stayed.
Speaker 1: How was Brook's reaction cute.
Speaker 2: Yeah, She's like, fuck that no chance. Pal.
Speaker 1: He's like, don't worry. I won't wake you up though,
Speaker 1: I'll make you a coffee, Like just fuck. And then
Speaker 1: she's like, so this is a weekend, and if we're
Speaker 1: gonna lay in bed, if it's a raining because it
Speaker 1: rains lots in Melbourne, like, fu, Conrad, how much time
Speaker 1: are you gonna spend in bed?
Speaker 2: What a nightmare? Anyway, Conrad survive and absolutely no surprise
Speaker 2: to anyone. We say goodbye to Millie and Tim two
Speaker 2: point zero aka Kurt.
Speaker 3: Do you know what?
Speaker 1: Tim didn't seem too sad about it.
Speaker 2: He took it like a chance, didn't he.
Speaker 1: It's also when you're in that environment, they try and
Speaker 1: make it seem like you're never gonna see the bachelor
Speaker 1: or bachelorette again. They're like, once you leave, that's it.
Speaker 2: There, You're gone.
Speaker 1: You'll never contact them, see them the world, like your
Speaker 1: connection with them is over.
Speaker 2: Tim doesn't buy into that. Oh maybe told you all right.
Speaker 2: That is the end of that episode, And.
Speaker 1: Now it's for hometowns. Break it out down to the
Speaker 1: hometown chicken.
Speaker 2: It's a home goodness.
Speaker 1: Two glasses of one now and I'm just this more minute.
Speaker 2: The thing is, you're actually not a bad singer just
Speaker 2: on here, But when you do that hometown jive, goodness.
Speaker 1: Me, what like a hometown giant? Oh?
Speaker 2: Here we go again?
Speaker 1: Do you know what? We haven't actually watched this episode
Speaker 1: yet because we are a little bit behind, so we
Speaker 1: have to go watch it now and then make some notes.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll come back and then come back, give
Speaker 1: us five and finish the heps. It's going to be
Speaker 1: a long night. Sorry, I might have a couple more ones.
Speaker 1: Episode ten. We did it. We're exhausted, a little bit devastated.
Speaker 1: To be honest, MAYJ, how are you feeling well?
Speaker 2: I think I don't think we should say what happened? No,
Speaker 2: we should no save it for the end, otherwise people
Speaker 2: will stop listening. If we say the ending right now,
Speaker 2: then who the hell is going to want to stay
Speaker 2: on and hear the rest of the episode.
Speaker 1: You do realize that this comes out on a Friday,
Speaker 1: and anybody who's opened the Daily mail or any news
Speaker 1: article will know who went home tonight.
Speaker 2: No, because a lot of people, Honestly, I'm telling you
Speaker 2: a lot of people listen to this podcast and they
Speaker 2: don't watch the show, and they might miss the articles
Speaker 2: that come out, so the only way they're informed is
Speaker 2: from us. I'm telling you honestly, it.
Speaker 1: Was Conrad and we are gonna riot. I have my
Speaker 1: pitchfork ready. I'm a little bit sleepy and a little
Speaker 1: bit drunk, but I will write it anyway into the streets.
Speaker 1: Let's go, Maddie Jay.
Speaker 2: It didn't make any sense because his hometown, I think
Speaker 2: was one of the best.
Speaker 1: Oh, can we just take a moment his dad to
Speaker 1: stand maybe a moment of silence for his dad, who
Speaker 1: was the actually the best character on this entire season.
Speaker 2: No, hang on, he was the best parent we've ever
Speaker 2: had in the history of The Bachelor ever.
Speaker 1: A little bit quirky, a little bit cute, just a
Speaker 1: little bit quirky, just a little bit.
Speaker 2: Let me check the chin chair, my bear. Sit down.
Speaker 2: I'm going to find my glasses. They're here somewhere. I've
Speaker 2: lost him. If we can get my glasses now, Oh look,
Speaker 2: I'll leave it. Forget the glasses. I focus dad, This
Speaker 2: is Brooke said, what.
Speaker 1: HELLOK to me? Brook?
Speaker 2: It's great to see you.
Speaker 1: It's sort of been Auld have had a focus fashion.
Speaker 2: I'm getting my glasses.
Speaker 1: Hang on, oh you, oh gorgeous Brook, Look it's you.
Speaker 2: I got to apologize for not combing my hands. All right.
Speaker 2: His dad is definitely more than a little bit quirky.
Speaker 2: But the next part, the next part was a little
Speaker 2: bit shook.
Speaker 1: Shook her to the core.
Speaker 2: Well, I didn't expect him to be so in touch
Speaker 2: with his emotions as well. Like I I cry at
Speaker 2: the sight of a man crying like nothing else.
Speaker 1: You cry at the sight of a man crying.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's weird if I see If I see a
Speaker 2: man crying, that makes me cry.
Speaker 1: What about if you see a woman crying?
Speaker 2: Nah, it's not for me, they give Yeah.
Speaker 1: What if you see a child crying? Yeah, or lolla crying,
Speaker 1: pretty good at cheating that one out.
Speaker 2: Actually take actually, and then the older that man gets,
Speaker 2: then the hearder that cry hits me.
Speaker 1: So if it's like a six year old boy, you're like,
Speaker 1: it's fine. But if it's an eighty year old man,
Speaker 1: you're right, it's pretty true. Actually, not the whole man thing.
Speaker 1: Any older person crying gets me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, after seventy it reaches a limit, Like you know,
Speaker 2: seventy eighty ninety, It makes some difference. Seventy is like
Speaker 2: the bar. Wow.
Speaker 1: Okay, that was deep. Thank you for that, Matt. There's
Speaker 1: probably some weird misogyny things that we need to unpack there.
Speaker 2: But anyway, but it was a really beautiful moment with
Speaker 2: Conrad's dad. It really was.
Speaker 1: I think this was the best, the most raw and
Speaker 1: honest hometown and conversation that we've ever seen from a
Speaker 1: contestant's parent.
Speaker 2: Ever. It hurting horribly.
Speaker 6: It was so much into that predist relationship and it
Speaker 6: was blown out of the water.
Speaker 2: And I mean seriously, he chucked his whole heart and
Speaker 2: soul into it.
Speaker 6: And sorry, he got his theories stumble me, but I fell.
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry for him.
Speaker 6: Sorry, Kookie, and stupid his father is. But you're all right, Roger, Okay,
Speaker 6: I made a bow tie. Anyways, what I'm trying to
Speaker 6: say is he's a wonderful man. He'd be a great catch.
Speaker 1: I love him to death.
Speaker 2: I would do any for my son, I really would.
Speaker 1: I can't speak. I was literally in tears, couldn't see
Speaker 1: through my tears, Missca running down my face, not dripping
Speaker 1: out of my nose, crying along with Conrad's day.
Speaker 2: I literally had a single tear.
Speaker 1: It's not true.
Speaker 2: You were like, I could barely breathe.
Speaker 1: I don't even know what happened for the rest of
Speaker 1: the episode. I cried through it. It's not true, but
Speaker 1: there was a very good moment.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was beautiful, but at the same time, not
Speaker 2: a lot happened. They didn't really put They didn't really
Speaker 2: put Brook on the spot.
Speaker 1: I wonder if the fact that it's over Zoom had
Speaker 1: something to do with that as well, because I feel
Speaker 1: like when you're face to face, it's like almost a
Speaker 1: whole day, like you have so many so much time
Speaker 1: when you're face to face. They couldn't have sat on
Speaker 1: a Zoom call for four hours, like when we had
Speaker 1: my hometowns. My hometowns. When you came to my hometown,
Speaker 1: it was like four hours with my family, I think,
Speaker 1: or five hours. It was like the whole morning, come
Speaker 1: on you, it wouldn't end. It was terrible. Her whole
Speaker 1: family was there. Now I have to see them all
Speaker 1: the time.
Speaker 2: Also the fact that I think his dad and I'm
Speaker 2: not trying to be funny here had some bad hearing,
Speaker 2: so maybe it was really difficult for them to have
Speaker 2: an in depth conversation about their relationship. Given that he
Speaker 2: struggled on Zoom.
Speaker 1: Well, I think there was probably more to it. I
Speaker 1: don't think that his dad would have gone from like quirky,
Speaker 1: funny guy into crying that instantly, Like they obviously had
Speaker 1: more of conversation and more connection. We're just seeing like
Speaker 1: we're seeing the highlight reel here, no surprise to anyone.
Speaker 1: But also I mean, as we know that the one
Speaker 1: piece of Jeopardy from the past episode with Conrad is
Speaker 1: this conversation around him not being super clear with what
Speaker 1: he wants to do for a career. I guess like
Speaker 1: it's it's the ambiguity around Korea that seems to be
Speaker 1: his big jeopardy.
Speaker 2: Like not to sit on Conrad for longer than we
Speaker 2: need to. But obviously he leaves at the end of
Speaker 2: this episode.
Speaker 1: Give a spoiler away again, Maddy Jake.
Speaker 2: Sorry, but like, I don't think that Jeopardy was enough
Speaker 2: to warrant him leaving.
Speaker 1: Well not when we get into the jeopardy that comes
Speaker 1: with Holly later on. We can get into that, ok
Speaker 1: can Let's get into that later, okay, j Ley. It's
Speaker 1: all pleasant, isn't it. Like, Look, Jamie Lee brings her
Speaker 1: friends instead of her bringing her parents. Which is always
Speaker 1: an interesting choice. When you don't bring your family members
Speaker 1: you bring your friends to hometown.
Speaker 2: Why do you think that's interesting?
Speaker 1: I think it's probably maybe it's multifaceted. It could be
Speaker 1: that the parents don't want to be involved on a show.
Speaker 1: I don't know. It could be that they're not wanting
Speaker 1: because it's it's a whole other level to introduce your
Speaker 1: potential partner to your family than what it is to
Speaker 1: introduce your potential partner to your mate.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think when you go to hometown's, when you're
Speaker 2: not meeting the actual family, like for example, Florence, I
Speaker 2: met her friends, I feel like the grilling that the
Speaker 2: questions that you get asked aren't anywhere near as intense,
Speaker 2: like the question of a mother or father about their
Speaker 2: child and the potential heartbreak that has so much more
Speaker 2: weight behind it. So I think I think when it's
Speaker 2: just friends, it's a lot less intense.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And I guess also the other thing on that,
Speaker 1: like you're as a new potential p to someone like
Speaker 1: you so desperately want your partner's family to like you
Speaker 1: like you you really want, like you know, I remember
Speaker 1: when I met your mum, Like I want your mom
Speaker 1: to like me, and of course I want your friends
Speaker 1: to like me too, But my I care more about
Speaker 1: what your mum thinks about me than what your friends
Speaker 1: think about me. That makes sense. I mean, of course
Speaker 1: they care about what everyone thinks about me. But I
Speaker 1: just think there's that little bit of extra pressure when
Speaker 1: it comes to someone's parents or family verse one or
Speaker 1: two friends. I mean, most people have multiple friends or
Speaker 1: close contacts. Oh, for sure, those contacts. We're doing a
Speaker 1: COVID screening.
Speaker 2: But Jamie Lee's friends, they did ask a couple of
Speaker 2: tough questions.
Speaker 3: So are you dating three others?
Speaker 2: Mm?
Speaker 1: Hm oh okay, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: It's quite concerning to me to hear the fact that
Speaker 5: Brook is dating two other guys and another girl.
Speaker 1: It's very clear that d Brook's friend has maybe never
Speaker 1: watched The Bachelor before or isn't quite sure how hometowns work.
Speaker 1: She seems very surprised, very surprised.
Speaker 2: Why are there cameras here?
Speaker 1: Why are you dating three other people now? And also
Speaker 1: the questioning around like, if Jamie Lee was to tell
Speaker 1: you that she loved you, what would you say? You
Speaker 1: can't say anything, can you, Matt? Like at this point,
Speaker 1: at hometowns. If I had said to you, Matt, I
Speaker 1: love you, what could you have said back to me?
Speaker 2: I would have just wrapped up that conversation with a kiss.
Speaker 1: But what can you say? Like, what's the actual rules?
Speaker 2: There aren't really any rules. Like it's not like Osha
Speaker 2: sits you down and says, okay, rule number seven of
Speaker 2: being the Bachelor. But I guess it's maybe she's explained
Speaker 2: it in a less direct way by your producer that
Speaker 2: you do have to keep your cards. You do have
Speaker 2: to keep your cards close to your chest to a
Speaker 2: certain degree. Like if you were to say I love you,
Speaker 2: I'm not going to say I love you back, but
Speaker 2: I would say something along the lines of I really
Speaker 2: appreciate you opening up so much to me, And I
Speaker 2: would maybe say and I feel like we have such
Speaker 2: a strong connection, Like I'm definitely on the same page.
Speaker 1: There is nothing more deflating than saying to someone I
Speaker 1: am falling in love with you and them saying thank you. Cute,
Speaker 1: But anyway, Jamie Lee does not say I love you
Speaker 1: in this She doesn't even say I'm falling in love
Speaker 1: with you. She says the most awkward thing you could say.
Speaker 2: It was beautiful. It was just like, I mean, write
Speaker 2: this down. Anybody who's struggling to put their emotions into words,
Speaker 2: take note, I really like you.
Speaker 5: I'm letting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just like excited for the future.
Speaker 3: Beautiful, thank you so much.
Speaker 6: So say.
Speaker 1: Ah, there we have it, everybody. Jamie Lee her undying love.
Speaker 1: I would have thought I really like you was for
Speaker 1: like episode I'm pretty sure she said more on episode
Speaker 1: one than she did it in town. What the fuck?
Speaker 2: Sorry? What was that? What was that for somebody who
Speaker 2: has been so over the top. I mean, let's look
Speaker 2: back at the love letter that she wrote, the novel
Speaker 2: that she put together. She's just put her heart on
Speaker 2: the table, every single interaction with Brook and then that
Speaker 2: moment where it really counts where she's like, hey, I
Speaker 2: want this more than ever. She's like sup, that was
Speaker 2: so wizz. Do you think maybe, okay, do you think
Speaker 2: maybe Jamie Lee is getting cold feet?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, I was just gonna put it out there.
Speaker 1: I don't think she's getting cold feet. I think that
Speaker 1: there's just so much pressure on saying I'm falling in
Speaker 1: love with you and you're getting drilled by the producers
Speaker 1: that there's kind of like this feeling of like, oh, apprehension,
Speaker 1: like you don't want to.
Speaker 2: Your last chance to say it.
Speaker 1: And you also don't want to feel stupid, Like I think,
Speaker 1: you know, there's that fear of rejection and saying I
Speaker 1: love you and not being having it reciprocated is like
Speaker 1: a really scary thing. But one thing I did notice
Speaker 1: about all of these hometowns is that, like I think
Speaker 1: back onto Tim Robard's season, I think back onto Samwood season,
Speaker 1: I think back even into our season to some extent,
Speaker 1: by hometowns, everybody is usually saying I'm falling in love
Speaker 1: with you. Everybody is usually pretty goddamn invested. The only
Speaker 1: person I know that we're gettinghead of ourselves, but the
Speaker 1: only person who said I'm falling in love with you
Speaker 1: is the guy she sent home. That's it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't make any sense, does it.
Speaker 1: Anyway, Let's get into David. It was the most boring
Speaker 1: hometown ever. Now let's get into Hollywood.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Honestly, though nothing happened, there was truly no jeopardy. David
Speaker 1: owns a landscaping business in Brisbane. David's mum doesn't want
Speaker 1: David to move because they still pretty much lived together
Speaker 1: and that was about it.
Speaker 2: That was it.
Speaker 1: But also, how have they gone to hometowns and not
Speaker 1: discussed the fact that they live into state? Can someone
Speaker 1: explain this to me?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that seems really weird, Like, surely, surely at this point,
Speaker 2: someone even a producer, has suggested, why don't you guys
Speaker 2: talk about the fact that you know, you might want
Speaker 2: to settle down in different cities?
Speaker 1: And also, I know it sounds weird because like maybe
Speaker 1: you wouldn't talk about that with somebody who you've only
Speaker 1: been on a couple of dates with. But in bachelor world, normal,
Speaker 1: totally normal. On the first date, you literally talk about, Hey,
Speaker 1: do you want to have kids? How many kids do
Speaker 1: you want? Hey, where do you want to settle down? Whatever,
Speaker 1: all that stuff that you wouldn't really talk about until
Speaker 1: date four or five, because it's pretty intense, you talk
Speaker 1: about it on date one. And let's all remember that
Speaker 1: this is not Brook's first season. She knows this, she
Speaker 1: knows the drill.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really strange, which gets even stranger when we
Speaker 2: get onto Holly's date.
Speaker 1: So this is very big for Holly because Holly has
Speaker 1: never brought a female home to meet her mum or
Speaker 1: her twin sister didn't know she had a twin sister.
Speaker 1: Nice piece of info.
Speaker 2: And also her house is well, how has that not
Speaker 2: been brought up?
Speaker 1: Just there it is twin sister. Maybe it was and
Speaker 1: we weren't watching, do you think?
Speaker 2: Honestly? I think I feel like there's certain information regarding
Speaker 2: the backstories of contestants that we're not told about. You know,
Speaker 2: we talk about like, what is it about the season?
Speaker 2: Why aren't we why aren't we feeling as connected as before?
Speaker 2: I don't feel like I know any of the contestants
Speaker 2: one hundred percent, other than Conrad.
Speaker 1: One hundred percent. But even Conrad, I still think that
Speaker 1: we know like a pretty diluted version of who he is,
Speaker 1: Like we only just sort of found out that his
Speaker 1: parents were artists because it came up in a group date.
Speaker 1: I think there's so much of their backstories and this
Speaker 1: like building connection and building like, you know, just like
Speaker 1: investment in their life that's been completely cut out and missing.
Speaker 2: It's completely lacking right now, one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: And I don't know whether it's being cut out because
Speaker 1: when they're on their dates, they're not having these big
Speaker 1: conversations like maybe because you know, We've said, like a
Speaker 1: lot of the dates have been pretty boring to watch.
Speaker 1: The conversations have been pretty lackluster. Are they not having
Speaker 1: these big conversations on dates? Which is where you get
Speaker 1: that sort of like, oh, I feel like I really
Speaker 1: know you as a person, Like I mean, we thought
Speaker 1: Conrad was a fucking carpenter. We thought it was a
Speaker 1: carpenter up until last episode.
Speaker 2: Now is an influencer.
Speaker 1: There was an influencer or maybe an artist or Matt
Speaker 1: and I were sitting on the couch unpacking whilst this
Speaker 1: episode was happening. Maybe Conrad wants to be an actor
Speaker 1: because he wants to make people happy and he wants
Speaker 1: to find a way to make money out of it,
Speaker 1: and people like watching movies.
Speaker 2: He would be such a bloody good actor.
Speaker 1: He already looks like one.
Speaker 2: He is so handsome, it's ridiculous. Okay, just quickly, we're
Speaker 2: going on a tangent Holly. So, Holly's mom grills Brook
Speaker 2: on what the future looks like. There's two really big
Speaker 2: jeopardies here.
Speaker 1: One is Holly doesn't want to have kids, and Brook
Speaker 1: has made it very clear that she wants to have three.
Speaker 2: She wants like seven.
Speaker 1: She wants a tribe. And then the other big one
Speaker 1: is that Brooks has literally just let off the bomb.
Speaker 3: She just.
Speaker 2: And then Holly's mom was like, did you just fart?
Speaker 1: And you know it was a dog. Holly's Mom's like,
Speaker 1: we don't have a dog.
Speaker 2: And then it was just so awkward and Holly comes
Speaker 2: in sniffing the fart. It was so weird.
Speaker 1: Honestly, it was do you reckon that? How would Holly
Speaker 1: feel about putting the door open?
Speaker 2: I think Holly's down with an open door, shit, I
Speaker 2: really do.
Speaker 1: I think she's so sensible. There's no way anyway. We've
Speaker 1: goten off tracking.
Speaker 2: The fact that brook has recently moved to Melbourne, but
Speaker 2: deep down she's talking about maybe ten or fifteen years
Speaker 2: she wants to move back to Perth. And for Holly,
Speaker 2: I moved to Melbourne is totally fine. She could consider it.
Speaker 2: She's been there before. Holly says, I would not move
Speaker 2: to Perth for me, that's not my radar at all.
Speaker 1: Well, it's not even to Perth. I mean, brook said
Speaker 1: where she's from is not Perth. She's from nine hours
Speaker 1: north of Perth. So it's a huge change and it's
Speaker 1: a huge move and I think, like on Holly's hometown,
Speaker 1: We've got now these two massive bombs someone who we
Speaker 1: thought they had this like incredible, unshakable connection. I just
Speaker 1: don't understand how they haven't had any of these conversations
Speaker 1: pre hometowns, and how they're having them at the last
Speaker 1: minute when they're supposed to be leaving. So basically Brook
Speaker 1: and Holly are standing there at the front of the house,
Speaker 1: and that final moment where they're supposed to be talking
Speaker 1: about how they're falling in love with each other, they're
Speaker 1: unpacking these huge differences that they hadn't spoken about on
Speaker 1: any of their their dates or their extra time or
Speaker 1: any of that sort of stuff. So it was just
Speaker 1: such a monumental waste of their last moments together. And
Speaker 1: then Brooke goes and cries, and she walks off like
Speaker 1: she's on the Blair Witch into the she's into the
Speaker 1: garden bed.
Speaker 2: The camera just pans up to the sky. It was
Speaker 2: so weird. Okay, but let's just recap really really quickly.
Speaker 2: David sure he's gonna win, makes sense, bring him through
Speaker 2: to finale absolutely, Jamie Lee, she says, I really like you.
Speaker 5: That is it.
Speaker 2: Holly is like, hey, we don't want the same thing
Speaker 2: when it comes to kids. We want to live in
Speaker 2: different cities. Massive Jeopardy. And then Conrad, he's the one
Speaker 2: who's opened up the mo saying I'm falling in love
Speaker 2: with you, and he goes home. What what do you mean?
Speaker 1: It doesn't make sense, does it? Except for the fact
Speaker 1: that I think Brooke was trying to protect Conrad. I
Speaker 1: think she really realized just how emotionally invested he is,
Speaker 1: and she wasn't.
Speaker 2: No tak him at number three. Number three is fine? No, yeah,
Speaker 2: number four, Like, come on this, there's still so much
Speaker 2: life left in the Conrad and Brooks story. Even if
Speaker 2: he's gonna go home at number three, at least make
Speaker 2: it entertaining.
Speaker 1: For us totally. I think it was becoming quite obvious
Speaker 1: that she was a little bit like, I'm over this now,
Speaker 1: But do it for us, Do it for the viewers,
Speaker 1: because there's nothing else to watch next week, that's for sure,
Speaker 1: because everyone's just so nice and boring.
Speaker 2: And on that note, please stay with us for one
Speaker 2: more week.
Speaker 1: I can't believe we've only got one more week left.
Speaker 1: I mean, it is almost the middle of the night
Speaker 1: and we're still going And then have to finish editing this.
Speaker 2: I think, so we're done, let's wrap this up.
Speaker 1: Well, that is it, guys. As you know, Conrad went home.
Speaker 1: We are now heading balls first into finale week next week.
Speaker 2: No one heads balls first. What do you mean heads
Speaker 2: bulls first?
Speaker 1: What if you're tea bagging someone, would that be balls first?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, heading tea bagging. We are tea bagging ourselves into
Speaker 1: next week's episode. I can't believe we're at the final week,
Speaker 1: But after this week, I am glad that we're at
Speaker 1: the final week. I hope that there are some people
Speaker 1: still watching it with us. And now I'm I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm still pretty convinced that Darvid is the winner, but
Speaker 1: I think I don't know if it's Darvid and Holly
Speaker 1: at number two anymore. Maybe, oh you're starving and Jamie Lee.
Speaker 2: I think that's the big surprise, is the fact that
Speaker 2: Jamie Lee, just this dark horse coming through on the
Speaker 2: home straight, brushes past Conrad, then moves past Holly.
Speaker 1: But also, would you do that to your friend? Would
Speaker 1: you take one of your good friends through to number
Speaker 1: two to break up with him at the funali?
Speaker 2: Well, let's find out before we go, Laura, before we go.
Speaker 2: Do you remember we ask people to give us a
Speaker 2: little bit of a review on Apple podcasts.
Speaker 1: Oh God, here we go?
Speaker 2: Can I just say little message from Kati k D
Speaker 2: KD that many J guy is the glue, the glue
Speaker 2: that holds the ship tee together.
