Cut. 0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:34.720 It has been a hot minute. It's not really lifelung cut. 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:36.160 You're not Britney Hockley. 0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:37.640 It's bat chunk cut. 0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:43.480 Here we are back. It's me Laura and my darling, 0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:45.160 Matthew David Johnson. 0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:46.200 Now your husband. 0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:47.920 Oh, do you know what I think every time I 0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:51.520 say your name, though, Matthew David Johnson. I think it's 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:53.560 so weird that your mum gave you the middle name 0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:56.360 David and then had another son and named him David. 0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:58.720 She really liked the name David, but like what, like 0:01:58.760 --> 0:01:59.080 it's a. 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:01.080 Fine name, but like, David is so nice that she 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:02.400 named both her children David. 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:06.600 I think it was biblical, Yeah, very biblical. Why are 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:09.720 you attacking my mom like that? How dare you? Kelly 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:13.280 did her best as a mother and you're pulling apart 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:14.960 the way that she named her children. 0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:18.119 Because it is ten o'clock at night, and the reason 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:21.799 why we're recording this so late is because Matthew's beautiful mother, 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:24.560 who I love more than anything. She is wonderful. She 0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:25.200 has been here. 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:26.520 She cooked a great lasagna. 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:27.880 She's been staying in our house. 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:29.880 You guys love a chat you guys start a chatting, 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:31.360 So I checked out we do. 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:33.440 Matt leaves us to talk, and then what he does 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:36.520 is he'll just trail off and watch the TV, which 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:39.720 means that then I'm the one who's only having the conversation. 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:41.359 He's just not even a part of it, and it's 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:42.079 not even in the room. 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:45.080 Mentally, I was like, it's nine o'clock and we still 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:46.359 haven't started recording. 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:50.400 And this is why batch on cart is always a 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:51.880 mad dash to the finish line. 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:54.240 It always is, It always is it is. 0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:56.600 Can I just say and every year we say we're 0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:58.400 never going to do it again, and then every year 0:02:58.440 --> 0:02:59.760 here we are. And do you know why we say 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:00.919 when ever going to do it again? 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:01.280 Why? 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:03.440 Because each year we say, oh, this is the year 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:07.679 that the Bachelor is going to get canceled, and I 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:09.200 just keep on coming back. 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:13.960 I suggested the idea, and I in no way put 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:17.440 any pressure on you whatsoever. I don't know what it was. 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:19.280 Just one night, as we're going to bed, you were like, 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:23.200 let's do it, and then here we are, and then I'm. 0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:25.040 That's literally how both of our children were born as well. 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:30.440 But yes, here we are. This is on you. I 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:34.519 didn't force this upon you. This is not my doing 0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:35.040 at all. 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:38.200 No, no, no no. I came to the table fully, wholeheartedly 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:42.400 and willingly. And you know what, there is so much 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:45.680 to unpack. And on past seasons, I feel like we 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:48.600 have been like I feel like we're equipped to talk 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:50.720 about the Bachelor. You know, we've obviously done it, We've 0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:52.720 been on it. We know that we understand the format 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:55.160 of the show. I feel like we, if anything, were 0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:58.040 probably the most equipped to talk about it. You know, 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:01.080 out of people who have chosen to this season, I'm 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:03.080 not so sure because I don't know what the fuck 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:03.840 is happening here. 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:06.680 What do you mean you think it's changed so much? 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:09.280 You're watching it being like, I don't ever know what's happening. 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:13.200 It's still there's usher, there's a mansion, there's roses, there's girls. 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:14.600 It's not that different. 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:16.479 It's completely different. 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:18.359 It's not like it's a fight to the death and 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:19.520 the winner gets a Bachelor. 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:20.600 It's pretty much what it is. 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:24.000 It's okay, why do you think it's so different? 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:27.799 I mean, well, firstly, I'm sure this is no spoiler 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:30.760 to anyone, But there are three bachelors. Sure one of 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:33.000 them wasn't holding the show strong, so they needed to 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:35.040 go for three and spread it out more evenly. So 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:38.440 we have three new bachelors. No longer is there like 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:41.080 the red carpet entrance, and no longer is there like 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:42.279 the glitz and the glab. 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:45.200 It just feels, hey, hey, hey, it's the gold Coast. 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:47.600 It is very glamorous, thank you very much. 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:51.600 It feels grungy and dirty, and they know that that's 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:53.440 going to end up being taken as like a headline. 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:56.160 I don't mean dirty, is in like sinful, a little 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:58.080 bit sinful, But I just feel like it's a bit 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:01.160 more massy, It's a bit grit. It doesn't have like 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:04.240 the fairytale romance element to it anymore, which I think 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:06.400 is what the Bachelor franchise has been built on. 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:09.359 I did miss the red carpet arrivals. For me, that 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:11.320 was one of my favorite parts of the entire series. 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:13.320 So when they cut that out, I was a little 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:15.280 bit like really. 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:17.760 And even ashes like, I don't know what's happening here. Yeah, 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:19.680 he's in the corner smoke and a cigarette. 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:21.920 He's not even wearing a suit. Anymore. He's just there 0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:24.760 and pluggers and a pair of board shorts, and he's like, yeah, 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:27.240 like the chicks are over there. I guess like get 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:28.080 stuck in boys. 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:31.440 The other thing is, we've got three episodes to unpack here, 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:34.039 so pull up your undies and strap on in. Matt 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:38.600 and I both have a gin choose my love? All right, 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:44.919 Well we've got three episodes. We have three episodes to unpack, 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:48.719 which is so much fucking TV. It is three hours 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:51.600 and it's like almost four hours of TV. Why this 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:53.719 is my first gripe. This is before we get into 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:56.960 like the format changing and the men and Felix making 0:05:56.960 --> 0:06:01.080 out with every single woman. Why are they putting three 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:03.400 episodes on a week and the episodes are going for 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:04.840 an hour and fifteen minutes. 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:06.520 They're fucking long episodes. 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:10.400 Who are they doing this too? We have children. 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:12.600 I would be happy with half an hour episodes. 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:14.800 I have a job, like I have a life. We've 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:16.640 all got other things that we need to do. The 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:18.600 reason why people are going to listen to these recaps 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:20.719 is because nobody has enough time in their life to 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:22.080 watch that much of the Bachelor. 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:24.680 It's because there's three of them. Now that's why it's 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:27.920 taking so long. And there's there's like eighty girls. There's 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:31.560 eighty girls. There's actually like a giant pit, and within 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:34.040 that pit is like one hundred or so women who 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:35.320 are like, how freed me? 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:37.880 I have a theory. This was actually a film just 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:39.880 during school is and they just hoarded a whole bit 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:41.760 of women who were seeing in a hotel together and 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.440 they're like, here, it's Survival of the Fittest. All right, 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:47.200 Well let's start with episode number one. Now, we sat 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:50.160 down to watch The Bachelor's and for a moment there, 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:52.200 I was pretty confused as to whether it was actually 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:54.400 The Bachelor that we were watching or an episode of 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:55.120 Lux Listing. 0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:59.040 You'll be seeing a lot of this stunning seventy fourth 0:06:59.120 --> 0:06:59.920 floor penthouse. 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:01.840 These men put each other. 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:04.280 There's a lot to love about this place. The pull, 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:06.919 the gym, this bag nific view. 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:10.160 But I reckon that penthouse would sell for at least 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:12.320 ten million dollars surely more. 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:14.240 Oh No, I was thinking the whole building. No, I 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:16.320 don't reckon the penthouse would be ten million, the whole building. 0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:19.880 It's Q one. Laura on the concost. 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:22.440 I don't know how much primity costs anymore. Okay, The 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:25.080 thing though about this, and I don't know if anyone 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:26.560 noticed this, but there was a part of it that 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:28.800 made me go, oh, that feels a little bit seedy 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:32.080 and uncomfortable. So the penthouse that the guys are staying 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:35.600 in looks directly into the mansion that the girls are 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:36.960 living in as well, which I like that. 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:40.520 It's great. Why because you can be like, hey, everybody, 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:42.880 you know, you can stay in contact whilst you're not 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:43.800 on an actual date. 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:45.600 They don't have like a tin can and a piece 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:47.760 of string. They've all got mobile phones and could WhatsApp 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:51.360 each other. I think it's like really privacy intrusive. I 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:53.440 reckon they could sit there with binoculars if they wanted 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:55.680 to and look into the girl's backyard where the pool is, 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.560 and the girls, at least I know from my season 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:00.960 that they all kind of sunbaked, hop plus and I 0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:02.720 think that that's like kind of a bit gross. 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:05.120 It's poor man. I think it's disgusting as well. And 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:09.120 let's talk about Jed, who I know that people keep 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:12.119 saying it's it's like the longest running joke, but Jed 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:13.280 is machine gun Kelly. 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:16.360 Oh, Like we did some forensic investigation. 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:18.240 Today I went identical. 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:20.640 I got stuck in the deep dark web and I 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:23.120 was looking at photos of actual machine Gun Kelly and 0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:24.560 I was like, oh, this is this is where the 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:27.560 budget's gone. They literally hide machine Gun Kelly to come 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:29.200 and do the Australian. 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:30.920 Bachelor and he's just changed his name to Jed and 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:33.280 thinking that no one's going to notice it is machine 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:34.160 gun Kelly. It's crazy. 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:36.440 If you haven't looked at this, please go and google 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:40.559 machine Gun Kelly, same bone structure, everything, same person, drummer 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:41.920 or maybe his younger brother. 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:45.080 He's twenty five too young too, Yeah. 0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:46.559 And I know that there's going to be people listening 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:48.680 to this podcast who are twenty five and they're married, 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:51.040 and they'll probably take offense to this. And I don't mean, 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:54.400 I don't mean to say that all twenty five year 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:56.079 olds are too young to get married. 0:08:55.920 --> 0:09:00.880 Ninety nine but no, no, I'm joking, sorry, joking, not 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:01.800 ninety nine percent. 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:04.520 But anyone who is twenty five and signs up to 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:07.880 be the Bachelor's is not someone who is ready to 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:09.960 settle down. I don't think so anyway. 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:12.760 When twenty five year old's like, I'm going to find. 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:14.760 The love of my life through a reality TV Reality 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:17.199 TV is your last resort. I dated everyone in fucking 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:19.480 Sydney before I signed up for a reality TV show. 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:21.440 It is not your first line of contact. 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:26.360 He's also very religious and grew up on a farm 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:27.800 apparently as well. That's jed. 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:29.920 He's a real oxymoron, Isn't. 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:31.760 He very oxymorony? 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:34.320 Is that what that means? When I have lots of 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:36.920 things going no idea, that might be the word. 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:40.520 I'm like, oh yes, if all the oxmornation on this 0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:41.720 is unbelievable, Laura. 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:44.000 Also, if that was an insulting thing to call someone, 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:45.640 I might look it up, because that's not what I 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:48.000 didn't mean to call him a moron. Let's like an oxymoron. 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:50.400 Let's just move on to Felix. All right, Well Felix, 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:55.199 Holy shit, holy shit. I really liked him. I saw 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:57.160 him on the project and I really liked him. He 0:09:57.200 --> 0:10:00.440 seemed like he had like a nice, nice persona going on. 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:02.959 That's the thing about fuck boys, though, Matthew jo Yes, 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:05.160 They're very good at fooling you until all of a 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.520 sudden you're like, holy shit, why is he making up 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:08.839 with every single woman in front of me. 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:12.280 If I was a woman, I'd fuck him. I would. 0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:15.640 I would. I was watching him being like, he's very cute, 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:18.360 and he's handsome, and he played sport and he's so strong, 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:20.960 and I'm like, he would fuck me over in a heartbeat. 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:23.880 I would say, because you're so nice, You're a nice guy, 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:25.199 Maddie Jay, I would be. 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:28.440 In tears to you, being like, why has Felix not 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:29.320 messaged me? Yeah? 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:31.360 Why has he messaged me back? I thought I thought 0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:32.720 he liked me. I thought he was into me. 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:37.439 He said that he wanted something really serious. That's that's 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:38.719 how that's how good he is. 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:43.120 Okay, so Felix, I thought. When I first saw Felix, 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:45.920 I was like, why have they even bothered having other bachelors? Like, 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:49.040 surely he is, you know, strong enough, he's. 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:49.920 Of bachelor pedigree. 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:52.240 I was like, surely he's strong enough to like carry 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:55.640 the show on his own. But now, after watching three 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:57.679 episodes and I'm sure we'll get into it all very 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:00.880 very shortly, I understand why maybe he wasn't chosen to 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:03.760 be this single only bachelor, because as much as he 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:07.200 says that he's looking to settle down, he's never been 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:10.360 in a relationship before, which I always find this interesting 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:12.120 because it's like, how can you say that you're ready 0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:14.000 to settle down if you've never ever been in a 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:15.439 relation you don't know what you're settling done to. 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:17.800 Yeah, it's like what you're having. It's like someone saying 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:20.800 I love skiing. I really want to just go skiing, 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:23.000 and you're like, well, why have you been before? And 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:24.040 I've never been, but I. 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:25.319 Know that I'm gonna love it, and I know I'm 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:28.400 ready to see. You're not ready to see. You've never trained, 0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:30.040 you've never tried. How would you know? 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:31.840 Doesn't make any sense. 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:34.560 At the very least, it does seem like Felix is 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:37.000 aware of the reasons why. Maybe it's never worked out 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:37.960 with anyone in the past. 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:41.920 Me, it's always been a hook up culture. The first 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:45.600 and foremost thing I look for is physical attractiveness, and 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:47.160 that's what I've been looking for my whole life. And 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:48.680 you know what, I'm twenty seven. I've never been in 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:51.280 a proper relationship. Have I been looking for the wrong thing? 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:54.760 I guess some I'm about to find out, Okay. 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:58.160 And then we have Thomas, who very different to the 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:01.080 other two bachelors. He's thirty five. He's one of the 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:03.480 oldest or the oldest bachelor we've ever had. 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:06.440 They speak about him later on in the episodes as 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:08.880 though he's a geriatric like the guy's thirty five. They're like, 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:12.400 you are the oldest of all the bachelor's. Look at 0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:13.120 your gray hair. 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:16.080 A set of stairs and they're like, are you okay 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:17.920 to walk up these? Thomas? Are you sure? 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:21.440 Although, to be fair, it's a ten year demographic between 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:24.840 Jed and Thomas, and I guess maybe they're trying to 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:27.680 appeal to a really wide audience by having these three different, 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:30.840 diverse characters. But the thing that I found, you know, Like, 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:33.560 to be fair, I really like Thomas. I think he 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:37.440 seems genuine. I hate that one, but he seems authentic. 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:39.800 He seems like, wait for it, he's there for the 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:40.600 right reason. 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:42.719 Ah, shut up, I. 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:45.400 Hate my just vomiting my own mouth that I said 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:47.240 that literally, But okay. 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:51.120 The thing about he's so quintessentially Eastern suburb Sydney. The 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:53.720 thing about Thomas is that he's found himself. He's found 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:58.280 this enlightenment and he really loves Bondai a little too much. 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:02.719 While I have Italian heritage, this is the place I 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:05.760 call home, and this is the place I want to 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:08.880 spend the rest of my life with. I spend the 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:09.800 rest of my life with. 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:13.840 So at this point, now that we know our bachelors 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:16.160 and we've been introduced to who they are in a 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:18.560 very top line way, we get to know a little 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:21.360 bit more about how the actual mechanics of this season 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:22.960 are going to work. And like the fact that like 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:25.280 the formatting. And that's one thing about this that I 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:28.199 will give it credit to. So many people for the 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:30.880 last couple of seasons of Batch have really pushed against 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:33.720 the formatting and said, you know, it's too formulaic. You know, 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:37.160 there's no surprises anymore. Everybody is just cut and copy 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:40.800 and this complete repeat of season after season. And I 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:43.440 do feel like the producers have listened and they have 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:46.760 tried to provide something very very different in terms of 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:49.960 the formatting. Now, one of the differences is the fact 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:52.559 that the three bachelors, after we've been introduced to who 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:55.920 they are, they're standing there and Osha comes out, and 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:58.719 it comes as a surprise to even them that at 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:00.600 the end of this experiment they're going to have to 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:04.280 propose to someone. Imagine, imagine, signing up for The Bachelor, 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:06.640 being the Bachelor, and then on the show being like, well, 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:08.400 you're really in for it. Now you've better fucking propose 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:08.920 to someone. 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:11.640 No, but I don't think I agree with the first 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:13.600 part of your statement and that they have really tried 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:15.920 to mix things up. But then when they talk about 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:20.800 the proposals, it's still a question of if you feel ready, 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:24.200 you will propose? Is it not? Well are they saying 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:27.120 like Osha will be there gun to your head, being like, 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:28.760 get on your fucking knees. 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:32.560 Now you know what you signed up for. We need 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:33.160 the ratings. 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:35.840 Oh sure, please fucking do it? 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:39.000 Okay, Well, when you with the Bachelor, did they not 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:42.320 strongly suggest okay, never, No, No, it was, But did 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:44.680 they strongly suggest that you should propose? Or is it 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:45.920 always just an option? 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:49.000 It was always like it's entirely up to you. 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:52.760 So then therefore it feels different this time because it's yes, 0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:55.840 it is up to them, but it's been strongly suggested 0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:58.440 that if they feel strong enough of the person that 0:14:58.440 --> 0:14:59.200 they should propose. 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:01.440 So do you think they're trying to like America where 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:04.440 in their seasons of Bachelor it's always a proposal. Do 0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:06.600 you think that's what they're trying to do now one percent. 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:08.720 And I also think that they're sexying it up in 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:11.240 the same way that you know, the American Bachelor, you 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:13.160 can have sex on the Bachelor. The American Bachelor you 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:15.520 get overnight stays. I think that they're trying to like, 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:16.920 you know, dirty it up a little. 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:19.320 Biteah, because American Bachelor's been around for like one hundred 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:21.840 and twenty years, so they're like, whatever they're doing, we 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:22.240 want in. 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:25.360 Although when you think about it, not that I mean, 0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:27.440 I'm sure the American Bachelor actually makes for better TV, 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:30.120 but the success rate of the couples is very low 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:31.800 in comparison to the Australian Bachelor. 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:34.320 Yes, that's right. Maybe they are making it more like 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:36.680 the American Bachelor because it's been around for one hundred 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:37.400 and twenty years. 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:39.120 Dirtier six. 0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:44.360 Yeah, you've had way too much gin. Let's talk about 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:45.120 speed dating. 0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:47.280 Okay. Well, this is the other big difference is that 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:50.480 instead of everybody arriving on the red carpet and having 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:53.760 a little one or one time giggitddy giggddy, instead the 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:57.120 guys are going out and doing shall help you are 0:15:57.120 --> 0:15:59.840 going out and doing speed dating, and they're given ten 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:01.480 slightly dead roses. 0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:03.920 If the roses are different, aren't they. 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:06.280 The roses were dying okay because them had been out 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:07.080 of water for too long. 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:09.240 When we used to get the roses on site, there 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:11.880 was like a special van that would come. They had 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:14.800 like a refrigerated unit within the vans. The roses were 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:18.160 like the crem Dela creme of the rose industry, whereas 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:20.200 these ones are like picked up from the fucking BP 0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:20.800 down the roads. 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:21.920 These are Gold Coast roses. 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:26.200 They're hod for the record, big fan of the Gold Coast. 0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:27.400 Lovely people there. 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:29.360 Matt is kind of from the he's from Brisbane. 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:32.640 Can't have a rose. If you look at a roses, 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:33.600 do not get the Gold Coast. 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:35.960 What I meant by a Gold Coast rose is that 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:37.920 it's very fucking hot in the Gold Coast. So the 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:40.720 roses don't stay perfectly like roses. They're like a bit. 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:42.200 Wilty, very wilder. 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:44.480 They're just so wilted. Anyway, So the boys are running around. 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:47.960 These three bachelors are running around Australia with ten roses each, 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:51.520 and it is the most brutal speed dating I think 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:54.240 I've ever seen. So you don't agree with me, Matt. 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:57.000 There was many different dates. Basically the guys had to 0:16:57.000 --> 0:16:59.680
