Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Batchett Uncut. Yes, it is me,
Speaker 1: Maddie Jay. I am back. Have you missed me? Tell me?
Speaker 2: Honestly, I mean there's also somebody else here. Her name's Laura.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're there on Tuesdays, you're there on Thursdays. It's me.
Speaker 1: I'm the one they've been missing.
Speaker 2: You truly are the star of this show. But also
Speaker 2: they would be missing you even more because if you
Speaker 2: follow Batchett on cut, there's a very good chance you
Speaker 2: might know this. We missed last week's episode and we're
Speaker 2: also a day late. Who the fuck is relying on
Speaker 2: us in Bachelorette recaps.
Speaker 1: If we make it to the end of this season,
Speaker 1: it'll be a bloody miracle.
Speaker 2: We've got two kids. We're doing our best. Okay, so
Speaker 2: last week, if you don't listen to Tuesday's episode or
Speaker 2: Thursday episode, you might not know this. But we went
Speaker 2: to Byron and unfortunately on the trip, the roadcaster, which
Speaker 2: is what we used to recall the episodes into it broke,
Speaker 2: which meant we got to have a holiday, but very
Speaker 2: convenient Laura convenient I didn't break it.
Speaker 1: So Laura was responsible for packing it. And it's just
Speaker 1: very suspicious that all of a sudden, this road cast is.
Speaker 1: They're very durable and it just happens to break when
Speaker 1: we're on holiday.
Speaker 2: It was wrapped in a blanket in like the hard
Speaker 2: case carry on, and it broke. If you listen to
Speaker 2: Thursday's Ask and if you listen to the Ask Gun
Speaker 2: Cut episode, you know that this is the truth. You
Speaker 2: know I'm not making up Porcu Pies and Matt. I
Speaker 2: love recording Batch on Cut with you because it's a
Speaker 2: great time for us to squabble, have a few little
Speaker 2: lover's tips, and then you know, make up by going
Speaker 2: to sleep afterwards.
Speaker 1: You just corrected yourself there. You're going to edit this
Speaker 1: one out, but you said have sex afterwards, which means
Speaker 1: I was gonna edit that. You're now responsible for having
Speaker 1: sex with me after this episode. It's also why I
Speaker 1: was going to edit that out, no pressure.
Speaker 2: So the reason why we're late today, so obviously this
Speaker 2: is coming out on Saturday. It was supposed to come
Speaker 2: out on a Friday. The reason for that is that
Speaker 2: this week Matt and I were supposed to be getting married,
Speaker 2: so we thought that we would celebrate the week that
Speaker 2: was or the week that was supposed to be our
Speaker 2: wedding week with a trip away, and today actually the
Speaker 2: day that we're recording, this was the day of our
Speaker 2: wedding day. And we spent today in a four hour
Speaker 2: traffic jym.
Speaker 1: Normally the card trip from where we were takes about
Speaker 1: two hours.
Speaker 2: Would you say, yeah, give or take.
Speaker 1: It was the worst traffic I've ever sat in and
Speaker 1: it was pouring down with rain the entire time. So look,
Speaker 1: there was a part of me that I was thinking
Speaker 1: to myself, Thank Heavens, we're not getting married today because
Speaker 1: even the lead up the last three days it has
Speaker 1: just been awful weather in Sydney.
Speaker 2: But if you're listening to this and you got married
Speaker 2: on Friday, congratulation.
Speaker 1: I hope you had the most amazing time.
Speaker 2: You know what they say about a wet wedding, a
Speaker 2: wet not is harder to undo. That was beautiful.
Speaker 1: There you go write that down.
Speaker 2: But all rational quotes by Laura Burn please quote me.
Speaker 2: I mean, please like tag me, hashtag whatever. I don't
Speaker 2: even know. I'm so tired. We spent three days down
Speaker 2: in Jira at two nights. We also went down there
Speaker 2: with my sister and her children.
Speaker 1: Hang on a second you slept in till seven thirty
Speaker 1: this morning. I was the one who woke up and
Speaker 1: I fed both kids.
Speaker 2: You're a lord, you're a.
Speaker 1: Hero, and I drove the car.
Speaker 2: What a modern man?
Speaker 1: Is there anything I won't do the washing? Yeah?
Speaker 2: But anyway, guys, on today's episode, we are recapping just
Speaker 2: one episode for you today, Thank goodness, because we kind
Speaker 2: of forgot what was happening for a little while there
Speaker 2: before we get into unpacking episode seven, because we're not
Speaker 2: going to worry about the week that we missed so
Speaker 2: long ago.
Speaker 1: No, I feel like everyone knows what happens.
Speaker 2: And if you don't know, it's so far in the past,
Speaker 2: you probably don't care anymore.
Speaker 1: I wonder if there are people out there who don't
Speaker 1: watch a single episode of The Bachelor a Bachelorette and
Speaker 1: they were like purely on you and me to keep
Speaker 1: them updated like right now, and their social circles are going.
Speaker 1: I just have no idea what to say to anyone
Speaker 1: about the show, because Matt and Laura have been mia
Speaker 1: for over a week now.
Speaker 2: And to those people, I apologize.
Speaker 1: Sorry, and I bet they're thinking, goodness me. I hope
Speaker 1: this is like a triple update and we're like last week,
Speaker 1: forget about it.
Speaker 2: Well, like we've got twenty five minutes for you today
Speaker 2: and then it's kids and nap times. Okay. So there's
Speaker 2: also been some very big things that have been happening
Speaker 2: in the Bachelor world this week that haven't been happening
Speaker 2: on screen. They've been happening in a dingy bar and
Speaker 2: Byron So, Abby Chatfield and Conrad were caught by the
Speaker 2: perhaps kissing. It's been all over the news if you
Speaker 2: didn't see it, and I just gave you a bit
Speaker 2: of a spoiler, Matt, I'm very sorry. Matt has been
Speaker 2: not coping with the news.
Speaker 1: Hang on just one second. Okay, you're saying that they're
Speaker 1: caught kissing. But I went to the article I had
Speaker 1: to look through. There are a number of images there.
Speaker 1: They don't look good. They are slightly incriminating. However, there
Speaker 1: is not a single photo where Conrad and Abby are
Speaker 1: locking lips. Let's not forget that.
Speaker 2: There's an actual video. There is a full video that
Speaker 2: you clearly haven't watched. I know you're zooming in on
Speaker 2: the pitchure.
Speaker 1: I didn't watch the video. There's a video. What happens
Speaker 1: in the video.
Speaker 2: They're kissing a look, it's a bit grainy and far away,
Speaker 2: but I would say, and I would put some money
Speaker 2: on it, that it looks like a kiss.
Speaker 1: Well, okay, let's just rewind for a second. Looks like
Speaker 1: a kiss, but it's not an actual kiss, because you know,
Speaker 1: you know, what looks bad is when you're whispering into
Speaker 1: someone's ear and from a certain angle it looks like
Speaker 1: you you're making out with them. So it could just
Speaker 1: be that Conrad was saying, Hey, Brook really is my
Speaker 1: soul mate, Abby. I'm so glad that the three of
Speaker 1: us will become best friends.
Speaker 2: This reminds me of that episode of Seinfeld where Jerry
Speaker 2: got caught picking his nose in the car, but really
Speaker 2: he was just scratched. He was like scratching one side
Speaker 2: of his nose and the girl that he was dating
Speaker 2: drove fast and she was like, what the fuck, He's
Speaker 2: picking his nose. That's what's happening here, except it's not.
Speaker 2: And Abby was kissing Conrad, and Conrad doesn't win, and
Speaker 2: therefore you were wrong again about the winner of the Bachelor.
Speaker 2: Wait did you say Holly on the first app or
Speaker 2: did you say Conrad? Who was your pick for the
Speaker 2: end guy.
Speaker 1: I think I said, O girl. I think I said
Speaker 1: it was going to be Conrad winning, which I feel
Speaker 1: like I always picked the runner up. I have like
Speaker 1: I'm drawn towards the runner.
Speaker 2: Up always I am changing my thoughts. I think it's started.
Speaker 2: I think it's Holly, and then I think Conrad's number three.
Speaker 1: I agree, I agree, you're right.
Speaker 2: I think so. And also I am not mad about
Speaker 2: him and a big dating. I think that they make
Speaker 2: an absolutely sensational couple. I just think that Channel ten
Speaker 2: would be a little bit mad about the premature dating.
Speaker 2: Could have waited til the end of the season.
Speaker 1: Maybe. Oh yeah. They say to all the contestants, now,
Speaker 1: just make sure you lay low, don't go to bar
Speaker 1: and Bay and hit up the bars, whatever you do.
Speaker 1: And Conrad's like, see you, I'm out of here.
Speaker 2: Conrad's like, got it. I will make out with the
Speaker 2: most prolific person on Instagram. Honestly though, like we are
Speaker 2: so here for it. Just it was like a little
Speaker 2: bit of drama in the Bachelor world. We couldn't not
Speaker 2: comment on it this week.
Speaker 1: I'm not happy about it. Let's start with episode seven.
Speaker 2: Well, let's get into it. So, like we said, it's
Speaker 2: only one episode this week, so we're gonna deep dive unpack,
Speaker 2: and Millie gets the very first single day. I like Millie.
Speaker 1: Millie's great, she's lovely, she's really nice, but you know,
Speaker 1: she's an intruder, and I can't help it be very
Speaker 1: pessimistic here and think that intruders never win.
Speaker 2: So explain your theory as to why intruder has never
Speaker 2: win Apart from the fact that an intruder has never won, Like,
Speaker 2: explain to the people why that's the case.
Speaker 1: Okay, So, when you are the lead here on a
Speaker 1: show like The Bachelor of Bachelorette, it's actually really hard
Speaker 1: initially to form multiple connections because we've been conditioned to
Speaker 1: the majority of us to just lock in on one person,
Speaker 1: and so then to allow yourself to have three, four,
Speaker 1: five connections, it's really exhausting. It's really hard. And so
Speaker 1: then when you're already a few weeks into that process
Speaker 1: and you've got, like, you know, your four or five
Speaker 1: people that you're bonding with, to have another lot of
Speaker 1: brand new contestants come in, you're kind of already maxed out.
Speaker 1: You're like, I'm at my limit no more. I'm really
Speaker 1: really sorry.
Speaker 2: I feel like the only time that I, oh wait,
Speaker 2: I lied, I said, and intruder's never won. So Iphi
Speaker 2: Monk's season an intruder he won. Streve Wawndy I forgot
Speaker 2: about him anyway, didn't work out. But I think that
Speaker 2: the thing with an intruder is an intruder can win,
Speaker 2: but only if the main contestant, the bachelor of the Bachelorette,
Speaker 2: is not invested in anyone who's there, Like if they've
Speaker 2: brought in intruders because production is like, holy crap, they're
Speaker 2: not really vibing with anyone, then obviously there's a very
Speaker 2: good chance an intruder will win. But if there's already
Speaker 2: some very solid connections forming, which is what we see
Speaker 2: with Brooke, like David with Hollo Conrad that honestly, Jamie Lee, Look,
Speaker 2: we're on a bit of rocky ground with Jamie Lee
Speaker 2: at the moment. But I think that Brook obviously so
Speaker 2: clearly has such strong connections that Milli is just off
Speaker 2: on a back foot.
Speaker 1: But in saying that, Milli absolute legends somebody who I
Speaker 1: would love to have a drink with, and I.
Speaker 2: Think that they, like genuinely if she had been there
Speaker 2: from the start, they could have a cracker connection, cracker connection,
Speaker 2: but I just think, like you said, but I think
Speaker 2: that they just don't have quite enough time. Now we
Speaker 2: have a few feelings about the single.
Speaker 1: Day, though.
Speaker 2: Let us unpack. Brook explains that she's never been to
Speaker 2: the snow before. She wants to take Millie somewhere very
Speaker 2: special and experience something new with her, and she thinks
Speaker 2: that this is the perfect place for them. This is
Speaker 2: my little dream come true.
Speaker 3: And I feel like this is like the most perfect
Speaker 3: environment to get to know Millie. It just feels really natural, beautiful,
Speaker 3: and it's overall just like really bloody romantic.
Speaker 1: It's literally like a winter escape room, like one of
Speaker 1: those panic rooms.
Speaker 2: Except with fate snow and about five plastic pine trees.
Speaker 1: Like, how does that make it the perfect place? I
Speaker 1: would love for Brook to explain this to me.
Speaker 2: What would make the perfect place to get to know someone?
Speaker 2: Like a quiet bar, maybe picnic outside.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like you know, a sunset by.
Speaker 2: The water, beautiful love that, not.
Speaker 1: Like a giant snow globe that you're stuck in.
Speaker 2: But also, okay, I've got a sneaky suspicion it's not
Speaker 2: even real snow.
Speaker 1: I thought it was maybe like that polystyrene you know,
Speaker 1: like the like stuff you get inside cardboard boxes with
Speaker 1: the delivery. They've just like broken it up and scattered
Speaker 1: it around the room.
Speaker 2: It's a very good thing that Brook has Milli there,
Speaker 2: because Milli is experience in the snow. She's been there before,
Speaker 2: and you don't want to go out there in the
Speaker 2: wilderness all by yourself. I have been to the snow before,
Speaker 2: so I'm coming in like confident that I can, you know,
Speaker 2: navigate her around the snow.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to imagine what this date would have been
Speaker 1: like if she'd brought Holly or darted along and the
Speaker 1: two of them would have just been lying, they being like, ah,
Speaker 1: what do we do? Hi?
Speaker 2: Brook? This is a pine tree, This is a pine needle,
Speaker 2: this is snow, lay down, make a snow angel like
Speaker 2: looks not four. This is a toboggan, except there's absolutely
Speaker 2: no hills here, so I'll just drag you along the ground.
Speaker 1: I would love to know how big this room actually is.
Speaker 2: The One thing about this date is that they then
Speaker 2: go and they do an activity. And at the start
Speaker 2: I thought that they were painting the sky. I thought
Speaker 2: that Brook had taken mill into the back room, and
Speaker 2: she was like, you know what would make this whole
Speaker 2: experience better. It would be to have a beautiful vista
Speaker 2: to look out to so that it doesn't look like
Speaker 2: we're stuck inside a panic room snow globe, and I
Speaker 2: thought that they were painting the sky.
Speaker 1: Okay, see, I hate to say it. I know it's
Speaker 1: been a running joke throughout multiple seasons of batchun Cut,
Speaker 1: but there was a part of me, Laura that was thinking,
Speaker 1: where the budget cuts our department, has that team been
Speaker 1: stripped back, where all of a sudden Brook has to
Speaker 1: decorate her own dates.
Speaker 2: She's like, they're like, we don't have a decal for
Speaker 2: the back wall. Could you just like paint a sunset
Speaker 2: or a sky or something. So we're there, We're thinking, oh,
Speaker 2: like cute little activity they're painting. They're painting the sky.
Speaker 2: We thought, oh, no, they're painting a mountain, a blue mountain.
Speaker 1: Yeah, gorgeous, snowy. Great, it makes sense obviously, like a
Speaker 1: like an Everest type mountain peak.
Speaker 2: Like the Swiss houps in the snow area.
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, great, this all ties together perfectly.
Speaker 2: However, then we realized that the Bachelor did a good
Speaker 2: old sneaky on us And actually Brook and Milly just
Speaker 2: painted the Paramount Picture logo on the back wall as
Speaker 2: part of their date. Now, if you haven't seen this,
Speaker 2: please jump onto our Instagram. At Life on Cut podcast,
Speaker 2: they literally painted a logo as their single date and
Speaker 2: then they sat down on a couch for their intimate
Speaker 2: time and watched a Paramount Pictures movie Grease Lightning.
Speaker 1: This is going to sound really lame, but there's a
Speaker 1: company called ViacomCBS in America that owns Paramount pitches. They
Speaker 1: actually own Channel ten, so I reckon there would have
Speaker 1: been some American at Channel ten being like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: this is the best integration opportunity ever.
Speaker 2: One point, there was three Paramount logos on screen. It
Speaker 2: went from the Paramount logo that was being projected from
Speaker 2: the movie that they were watching, to them looking back
Speaker 2: at Brook and Milly, and there was a glowing piece
Speaker 2: of Mount Neon logo in the background, and then behind
Speaker 2: it was the logo that they painted. I don't know
Speaker 2: how much Paramount paid to get that brand integration, but
Speaker 2: if you thought the Missabichi hybrid cars from the other
Speaker 2: week was a not so subtle integration, this one smacked
Speaker 2: you in the face like a statisticals The one other
Speaker 2: thing I want to say about this single day, which look,
Speaker 2: maybe I'm reading into it way too much, but I
Speaker 2: just think Grease Lightning is a bit of It's a
Speaker 2: slightly problematic movie. Why Yeah, I know this is probably
Speaker 2: gonna be polarizing, and some people are gonna be like, God,
Speaker 2: you're two woke.
Speaker 1: Greece is so wholesome. What are you talking about. To
Speaker 1: be fair, some of the oldest shows that I love
Speaker 1: you watch back and you're like, oh, actually, that's that's
Speaker 1: not how I remember it. It's a little bit more
Speaker 1: problematic than that.
Speaker 2: Greece is so misogynistic. It is such a wildly misogynistic movie.
Speaker 2: And I get that it's reflective of the times, but basically,
Speaker 2: she dates a guy who then in school is mean
Speaker 2: to her, and then she has to get hot, skinny
Speaker 2: and start smoking for the guy to pay attention to
Speaker 2: her again at the end. Like, it is wildly problematic.
Speaker 2: It goes against everything that we recommend on this podcast
Speaker 2: and this whole season all around inclusivity, like being more
Speaker 2: quality yeah, and just being more socially aware about where
Speaker 2: the world is at in twenty twenty one, and there
Speaker 2: they are watching Greece where Olivia Newton John had to
Speaker 2: get skinny and hot for the guy to look at
Speaker 2: us like, it's pretty.
Speaker 1: Bad Paramount Pictures. Shame on you.
Speaker 2: Now, none of you are going to look at Grease
Speaker 2: lighting the same.
Speaker 1: Although, although as much as we were watching this and
Speaker 1: we kind of turned to each other and said, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: poor Millie, she's being friend zoned here. It was a
Speaker 1: very good kiss, wasn't it.
Speaker 2: It was a very good kiss. I really like Brooklyn
Speaker 2: Millie together. I feel like they have a really like
Speaker 2: they're friends, but they also had that connection and that chemistry.
Speaker 2: I just think Milli is way too late in the game.
Speaker 2: I think Brooke is leaps and bounds ahead with some
Speaker 2: of the other contestants like Holly and Darvid. And also
Speaker 2: I would have said Conrad except he was making out
Speaker 2: with Abby Chatfield and Byron.
Speaker 1: Let's not remind everybody that, thank you very much.
Speaker 2: Are you gonna be okay?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I'm fine. Also, I'm a little bit annoyed that
Speaker 1: I think we're in Byron around the same time as Conrad.
Speaker 2: And why wasn't Conrad making out with you.
Speaker 1: At a bar? Yeah, That's what I want to know, Conrad.
Speaker 2: If it doesn't work out with Aba Chatfield, Maddie jays
Speaker 2: right here and I think he would take you out
Speaker 2: for drinks sometime.
Speaker 1: Welcome you into my household with open arms. Let's talk
Speaker 1: about the group date, shall we?
Speaker 2: I freaking love this group date so much? Can you tell?
Speaker 2: This was my favorite group date, probably my favorite group
Speaker 2: date in the last two seasons of Batch Bachelorette. I
Speaker 2: loved it hands down. It was so fun.
Speaker 1: It was a Mardi Gras theme date.
Speaker 4: This is the home of the Mardi Gras Parade in
Speaker 4: twenty twenty one. In nineteen seventy eight, just down the
Speaker 4: road in Oxford Street, the very first March occurred. It
Speaker 4: was a protest for the rights of the LGBTQI plus community.
Speaker 1: Do you know what I loved most about this date?
Speaker 2: Laura Conrad was wearing very little clothes and massive hair
Speaker 2: to keep all his secrets in.
Speaker 1: Not only that, but finally there was a bit of
Speaker 1: budget to spend, like do you remember? Do you remember?
Speaker 1: Let's cast your mind back to Jimmy season of The
Speaker 1: Bachelor and he had that date where they had to
Speaker 1: become superheroes and they had like just some crappy leotards
Speaker 1: and some card where they had the cutout and glue
Speaker 1: on to themselves. You remember that one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they had like a big plastic tub containers that
Speaker 2: you would use for storage. They had all of their
Speaker 2: bits and pieces in it.
Speaker 1: Pathetic. Now this this was fantastic. They had floats, the
Speaker 1: decorations were just great. The wardrobe options were endless.
Speaker 2: It was honestly just such a beautiful, wholesome group date. Okay, one, yes,
Speaker 2: the budgets were not spared, and I love that they
Speaker 2: had the rainbow love hearts around the stadium. They had
Speaker 2: the floats, they had the I mean they had two trucks.
Speaker 2: Who knows how much that would have cost a high
Speaker 2: for the day. But honestly, it just had so much
Speaker 2: energy and it was such an uplifting and fun group
Speaker 2: date to watch.
Speaker 1: When I was watching it, part of me was like,
Speaker 1: I really wish I was there. The guys were getting
Speaker 1: so into it, Like almost two into it, they were like,
Speaker 1: I'm wearing silver. Now, I'm wearing silver, give it here
Speaker 1: a wig.
Speaker 2: The guys were paying way too much attention to the
Speaker 2: outfit choices than what they were to the actual float
Speaker 2: construction or the choreography. But do you know who really
Speaker 2: got to shine on this group date? And it's truly
Speaker 2: no surprise, and that is Holly. Holly got another chance
Speaker 2: to do a dance, and that's what she loves the most.
Speaker 1: Although to be fair, I actually think it's been too long.
Speaker 1: It's been too many episodes where Holly hasn't danced.
Speaker 2: I mean, to be fair, we didn't recap the last
Speaker 2: two episodes, so she may have danced. She very well
Speaker 2: may have danced, we just didn't see. The only person
Speaker 2: who I think loved this group date more than I
Speaker 2: did was Conrad.
Speaker 1: Let's do this, Kicky is here? Kiyi the pun Absolutely
Speaker 1: no surprise whatsoever that Conrad is a star of the show.
Speaker 1: But I was watching Jamie Lee with an eagle eye
Speaker 1: because so last week she had the issue with Ryan
Speaker 1: where people thought that maybe they were canoodling behind everyone's back.
Speaker 1: So Jamie Lee really has to redeem herself in this episode.
Speaker 2: I feel really sorry for Jamie Lee. I feel like
Speaker 2: she has been set up in a situation that she
Speaker 2: has had absolutely no control over, Like she's just been
Speaker 2: nice to a guy and he's thought that she's liked
Speaker 2: her and he's flirted with her, and she's been thrown
Speaker 2: under the goddamn bus or underneath the float, whatever it is.
Speaker 2: But she's she's trying so hard to get Brooks attention
Speaker 2: and to be you know, like to make brook aware
Speaker 2: that she's there. And I hate this term, but she's
Speaker 2: there for the right reasons. Genuinely think she is. Like
Speaker 2: she has been there from literally the first moment saying
Speaker 2: I've liked you since the first day we met back
Speaker 2: on Old Honey Badger's season. There has been so much
Speaker 2: doubt cast around her intentions, but she's had absolutely no
Speaker 2: control over this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's almost as if people are just tripping her up.
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm having the best time, even though
Speaker 3: I stumbled back to get back up and.
Speaker 2: I'm killing that poor Jamie Lee. She lost a shoe,
Speaker 2: but really that shoe was a metaphor for so much more.
Speaker 2: She stumbles, but she gets back up.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, what's that song?
Speaker 2: I again knocked down, but I get up again. You're
Speaker 2: never gonna kick me down. I don't know where we go.
Speaker 1: She literally she literally lost the heel of a van
Speaker 1: shoe for about a split second, and everyone's like, oh,
Speaker 1: so brave genially.
Speaker 2: Through the face of adversity. She is dancing on.
Speaker 1: And if that doesn't get her a rose, nothing, well.
Speaker 2: Well do you know what? I don't know if you
Speaker 2: guys noticed this Life on Cut actually put some sponsorship
Speaker 2: money behind this episode. We like Channel ten came to us,
Speaker 2: they told us what this episode in this group date
Speaker 2: was about, and we were like, yes, you know what,
Speaker 2: we love love and we would absolutely love to sponsor
Speaker 2: this episode. If you didn't listen very very attentively, you
Speaker 2: may have missed it. But here it is just in case.
Speaker 1: How much did you pay for that?
Speaker 2: By the way, all right, truth you're told we didn't
Speaker 2: sponsor that part of the episode. But I was very
Speaker 2: excited when I heard some people almost inaudibly scream, we
Speaker 2: love love.
Speaker 1: I love that you had to get out to make
Speaker 1: an announcement and go, guys, I'm not gonna lie to you.
Speaker 1: We didn't act paid for that integration.
Speaker 2: Trust me. If we had paid for some integration on
Speaker 2: this episode, there would have been a float with the
Speaker 2: sign we love Love plaster downe the site. Subtlety is
Speaker 2: not a strong point when it comes to the Bachelorette anyway.
Speaker 2: On this we know Holly was the standout. It's no surprise.
Speaker 2: If she wasn't the standout on this group date, there
Speaker 2: would have been a real problem. This was her wheelhouse.
Speaker 2: She got to organize, choreograph a dance. I also love
Speaker 2: that she made it very inclusive, like everyone got a
Speaker 2: little bit of time to jive with Brooke. She's a
Speaker 2: nice one. I like Collie. I've come full circle. You're
Speaker 2: just waiting for me to keep talking, aren't you.
Speaker 1: Y ik' something? No, it's nice that you like Collie.
Speaker 1: I think Holly is definitely she's become so much more
Speaker 1: comfortable in the environment within the show, and it's great
Speaker 1: to see that her personality is so much bigger from
Speaker 1: when we saw her on date one.
Speaker 2: Totally. I just think we saw a different side of
Speaker 2: Holly on this date, like we saw a really fun site.
Speaker 2: I think one of the things. Not that I mean,
Speaker 2: I've loved Holly since day one, but I think after
Speaker 2: this date, I really felt like we saw more of
Speaker 2: her personal and before I really thought Holly as being
Speaker 2: very sensitive and kind but also quite serious. So it
Speaker 2: was almost a little bit hard to be like, whoo, yeah,
Speaker 2: go my girl. No, that's weird, go my girl.
Speaker 1: You got my girl. When we're watching it and I
Speaker 1: look it over, not the words I was looking for.
Speaker 1: Laura's got two thumbs up, going you go, my girl.
Speaker 2: I am a loser, is what Maddie Jay is saying.
Speaker 2: Oh I just called you many Jay. That was also weird.
Speaker 1: You go, my girl. As she said in her own words,
Speaker 1: she was a boss bitch.
Speaker 2: She is a boss bitch. Let's head into the cocktail party.
Speaker 2: Holly got the group. Holly got the single.
Speaker 1: Holly got the what else can you name? Holy got
Speaker 1: the sad No, Holly got the single that's fun. Holy
Speaker 1: got the excession. I'll fucking no, not that one either.
Speaker 1: The rose, Okay, Holly got the rose. Oh, we got
Speaker 1: the rose.
Speaker 2: She also she's not a really good kiss, like a
Speaker 2: little punky special kiss.
Speaker 1: It was a good kiss.
Speaker 2: It's a kiss that kept on kissing and giving because
Speaker 2: they just wouldn't stop. A fuck Matt. They helped me
Speaker 2: out here. I've already said, I'm really tired.
Speaker 1: No, you're doing great, Honey. Are you doing great?
Speaker 2: Thanks, Christianna. Holly got the rose. Jamie Lee spirals into
Speaker 2: a state of disarray.
Speaker 1: Jamie Lee, she has she's been dealt a heavy blow.
Speaker 2: She really has. Like I said earlier, I feel sorry
Speaker 2: for her. It's unjust. But I also think, and I
Speaker 2: might be making some assumptions here, but it really does
Speaker 2: feel like Brooke has started to make her mind up
Speaker 2: because even though.
Speaker 1: Look at her face when Jamie Lee was sitting there
Speaker 1: pouring her heart out, Brooke was just looking with like
Speaker 1: an almost like a look of disgust on her face
Speaker 1: when she was doing this.
Speaker 2: She honestly, I mean, we know Brook from like the
Speaker 2: last few episodes that anytime Brook is actually truly touched
Speaker 2: by something, she cries, you can read her like a book.
Speaker 2: And I felt that the way she was responding to
Speaker 2: Jamie Lee's very sincere declarations of love was that she
Speaker 2: was not really buying it, even though she kind of
Speaker 2: said she was, she wasn't really But.
Speaker 1: Was she really buying it?
Speaker 3: Laura, you know how much I love the sentimental stuff
Speaker 3: as well, so it always makes my heart melt.
Speaker 1: But yeah, oohh my gosh, if you were Jamie Lee
Speaker 1: right then and there, you'd be like, all right, I'm
Speaker 1: out of here, I'm screwed, I'm over. My time is up.
Speaker 2: But also Brooke and Jamie Lee had a ridiculously awesome
Speaker 2: kiss in the last episode, like a five minute long kiss.
Speaker 1: I accept that the single day. Yeah yeah, oh they got.
Speaker 2: And they also had an amazing kiss at the first
Speaker 2: cocktail party. So it makes me think, like, why have
Speaker 2: things changed so quickly just based on what Ti two
Speaker 2: point zero has said.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that bloody Tim two point oh. I never trusted him, Laura, No,
Speaker 1: never did quite trust him.
Speaker 2: Tim with a haircut, Okay, wouldn't trust the guy.
Speaker 1: Do you know what I think is the most telling
Speaker 1: part of this episode. It's the fact that Jamie Lee
Speaker 1: gets the last rose, and a lot of people say, oh,
Speaker 1: there's no, there's not really much meaning behind the order,
Speaker 1: which is true to a certain extent. However, the first
Speaker 1: and last rose very very telling. Whoever gets the last
Speaker 1: rose is pretty much done something wrong. It really has
Speaker 1: to redeem themselves. But Jamie Lee has just gone out
Speaker 1: done everything that she can, put all out on the table,
Speaker 1: and it's pretty much just been knocked down completely by Brooke.
Speaker 1: Getting the last rose essentially means you're going next. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, it's just got this real feeling of like you're
Speaker 2: still in trouble, Like even though I wouldn't say that
Speaker 2: like it didn't mean anything to Brook Like brook obviously
Speaker 2: kept Jamie Lee there, there's still something, you know, she
Speaker 2: alluded to the fact that she was still going to
Speaker 2: explore that connection. But I do kind of think that
Speaker 2: if she had fully and wholeheartedly believed what Jamie Lee
Speaker 2: was peddling, you know, believe that Jamie Lee was there
Speaker 2: with the best of intentions, believe that absolutely nothing was
Speaker 2: going on from Jamie Lee's side with Ryan, Jamielee wouldn't
Speaker 2: be left to last. Like why does she still need
Speaker 2: to be punished in this?
Speaker 1: Oh poor Jamie Lee. I feel sorry her, But overall
Speaker 1: I love this episode. I honestly think those group dates,
Speaker 1: the martigraph themed ones, should be an annual occurrence on
Speaker 1: The Bachelorette and Bachelor.
Speaker 2: I love this episode as well. I feel like it
Speaker 2: started off a little bit. I think the reason why
Speaker 2: I didn't like Millie and Brooks date so much not
Speaker 2: because I didn't like them as a couple, but just the.
Speaker 1: Jammed down your throat.
Speaker 2: Once you saw it, you couldn't see anything else, Like
Speaker 2: everything else just became completely obsolete. To the paramount paramount
Speaker 2: paramount by a comp buy a com paramount paramount, I
Speaker 2: felt like I was getting punched in the face by Paramount,
Speaker 2: but the Mardi Gras group date truly made up for
Speaker 2: it. It was very wholesome, awesome episode all in all.
Speaker 1: But look very sad to say goodbye to Abs McGee.
Speaker 2: The guy with the abs on his forehead.
Speaker 1: Was his name abbsy Abs Absy as the abs and Taj.
Speaker 2: Taj got very upset for someone who's had very little
Speaker 2: air time.
Speaker 1: Do you remember night one? I was saying, Taj is
Speaker 1: someone who's going to be a dark horse. I thought
Speaker 1: she was going to do really.
Speaker 2: Well, but I feel like Taj's had such minimal airtime.
Speaker 2: This whole thing which when someone gets minimal airtime, it
Speaker 2: leads you to believe that they really haven't had anyone
Speaker 2: on one time with the bachelor Batchette, and in this case,
Speaker 2: I kind of feel that there was so much more
Speaker 2: to their story that we weren't seeing.
Speaker 1: She was so emotional.
Speaker 2: I just want to know you were such a strong
Speaker 2: and beautiful out and I could not be so happy
Speaker 2: to have someone reppy, you know, I'm so thankful.
Speaker 1: The next something that's really important to note is anybody
Speaker 1: who gets brought outside by the Bachelor or bachelorette when
Speaker 1: they leave after a row ceremony. They only do that
Speaker 1: for people that have a really strong connection with Yet
Speaker 1: we saw none of that.
Speaker 2: We saw none of Taje. But like exactly what Matt said,
Speaker 2: like the only time the bachelorette would walk a contestant
Speaker 2: out is if they'd share it's something more meaningful, and
Speaker 2: there was a reason and there needed to be a
Speaker 2: bit more explanation around this sending home.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like number three is normally the person who gets
Speaker 1: the walk outside, and they're like they will then get
Speaker 1: the car door shut for them.
Speaker 2: And then the number two just gets like dumped on
Speaker 2: the altar.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like kicked down, get out of here, pow, keep
Speaker 1: on walking, buddy.
Speaker 2: It's always too soon. It's always too soon. But yes, look,
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously taj had that really beautiful connection because
Speaker 2: she's a First Nations woman and so is Brooke. So
Speaker 2: there was something deeper there in regards to what having
Speaker 2: Brook as the lead stood for. So there was that
Speaker 2: element to it, but I also questioned whether they had
Speaker 2: something stronger as a couple. Oh suspicious, do you know what? Delicious?
Speaker 1: You know what? I can't wait for next week?
Speaker 2: That's what I got yes. Sorry, what you.
Speaker 1: Can't put two songs into an episode? I can you
Speaker 1: had that? I get knocked down and I.
Speaker 2: Get up again. You carry songs?
Speaker 1: I'm suspicious?
Speaker 2: So delicious? Are they even the words?
Speaker 1: I have no idea.
Speaker 2: Anyway, guys, that is it from us one episode of
Speaker 2: Batcheon Cart. We're a bit rusty, We're a bit dusty,
Speaker 2: but we'll be back strong and ready and wearing and
Speaker 2: swinging next week.
Speaker 1: Speak for yourself. I am operating like a well oiled machine, Laura.
Speaker 2: I am operating like a machine that's been parenting two
Speaker 2: children in a very small holiday unit for the past
Speaker 2: three days, and they have been feral, and I feel
Speaker 2: feral too.
Speaker 1: I love how you say small unit when it was
Speaker 1: actually like a beautiful house on a dairy farm.
Speaker 2: It was a beauty Okay, wait, it was a beautiful
Speaker 2: house on a dairy farm except at rain the whole time,
Speaker 2: and we were inside. It was three bedrooms and there
Speaker 2: was four children. So do the maths. There's four children,
Speaker 2: and there's three bedrooms, and there's four adults. Where was
Speaker 2: everyone sleeping in our bedrooms? And I am tired?
Speaker 1: And on that note, we're gonna end this podcast record
Speaker 1: because Laura is a little bit cranky today and.
