Do you find that when you're 39 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: in the reality, for example, you're not going to see 40 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: yourself these days? Would you see yourself married to Nick? 41 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,919 Speaker 1: You're living with Nick, You've got kids and a little 42 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: picket fence. Do you think that would have happened? 43 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 4: I think both of our lives would have just been 44 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:52,919 Speaker 4: too crazy for one another. 45 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 3: I think he's. 46 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, thinking about it, but I don't really want to 47 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 4: think about it. It's like thinking about your exits. It's 48 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 4: moved on we've moved on from it. I'm excited for 49 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 4: the next chapter, which is really exciting about this season. 50 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 4: I think this season is going to be fantastic. I 51 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 4: wouldn't have it any other way. It's been casted with 52 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 4: male and female contestants, which. 53 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 2: Yes, So how does that work for people who don't 54 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 2: understand the nature of bisexuality? Are you just drawn to 55 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 2: a person? 56 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 3: Absolutely so. 57 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 4: There are obviously labels and terms that you can use, 58 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,839 Speaker 4: so you know whether your identifier is bisexual or pan 59 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 4: sexual or whatever. I've never really put a label to it, 60 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 4: but I think it makes it easier for people to 61 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,679 Speaker 4: understand that I like more than one gender, So bisexuality 62 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 4: is true genders. So I guess if people it helps 63 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,519 Speaker 4: them to put me or identify that with me, or 64 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 4: affiliate that with me, then that's fine. 65 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, I'm just Brook. 66 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 4: Like you know, I'm always just I've always just been me. 67 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 4: I've been integral to who I am. I've been honest 68 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,239 Speaker 4: about who I am throughout the Bachelor series, A Bachelor 69 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 4: and Paradise, in interviews and all. 70 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 3: That sort of stuff.
