Speaker 1: Hi guys, and we'll welcome back to another episode of
Speaker 1: Life Uncut. I am Laura and I am joined today
Speaker 1: with none other than Maddie j Wow.
Speaker 2: What a what a privilege for you, Laura Burn.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sitting here in our bedroom. Both of us
Speaker 1: have a sock over each microphone, sock over something else,
Speaker 1: and we're going to do the bad cut.
Speaker 2: Goodness. Oh yeah, Laura, Can I just say always going
Speaker 2: into these you like, sit me down and you're like, hey, like,
Speaker 2: just just be aware. I don't want to talk about
Speaker 2: anything that's too grotesque. I want to be quite sensible.
Speaker 2: No fart jokes. You lay down the law and then
Speaker 2: you just go off on your own tangent doing your
Speaker 2: own thing.
Speaker 1: That's holding this against me because we've actually done his
Speaker 1: intro three times and every time he started making fart
Speaker 1: jokes within the first thirty seconds, and I was like,
Speaker 1: can we just get through an intro of Life on
Speaker 1: Cut without talking about bodily functions or farting or sticking
Speaker 1: fingers into balms or anything to do with that stuff.
Speaker 2: No, Laura, Absolutely, we cannot.
Speaker 1: Apparently not.
Speaker 2: It's all we have, it is, this is what our
Speaker 2: relationship is based.
Speaker 1: On thingers in the bump.
Speaker 2: If we didn't talk about it, we would just be
Speaker 2: lying to ourselves.
Speaker 1: Okay, and to the three hundred thousand people who listen,
Speaker 1: it's great.
Speaker 2: This is what they want, Laura.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, it's definitely what you're getting. Just get a
Speaker 1: little update on us. We're still in lockdown and we've
Speaker 1: been spending way too much time together and for that,
Speaker 1: we're really sorry to every single person who's going to
Speaker 1: listen to this episode because there may be some squabbling.
Speaker 1: Emotions are running high.
Speaker 2: In this house. Amount of fighting that has to get
Speaker 2: edited out of these records. It's a miracle that we
Speaker 2: can get it done. But hey, before we go into
Speaker 2: recapping the Bachelor episode five and six, I do have
Speaker 2: a question for you, Laura. You know I like to
Speaker 2: ask a question before we get into the juicy bits.
Speaker 1: Does it have anything to do with bodily functions?
Speaker 2: Well, potentially if you want to go that way, but
Speaker 2: I won't lead into it just yet. My question is
Speaker 2: I find that you're quite inconsistently here we go when
Speaker 2: it comes to what you wear to bed. For example,
Speaker 2: last night you came to bed and I was nude,
Speaker 2: and you're naked.
Speaker 1: That was not a sign.
Speaker 2: And I was thinking to myself, well, Laura, loud and clear,
Speaker 2: you do not need to see anything else. I get
Speaker 2: what's going on here.
Speaker 1: That's a lie. Actually what happened.
Speaker 2: And I was confused because it was after ten thirty,
Speaker 2: and I was like, it was a week day. What
Speaker 2: is happening here?
Speaker 1: We don't fuck on weeknights, ladies and gentlemen. No, So
Speaker 1: I came to bed and I was nude. This is
Speaker 1: actually what happened. It was late. I came to bed
Speaker 1: nude after having a shower, so all of that wig
Speaker 1: got out.
Speaker 2: And you know that when you have a shower. It's
Speaker 2: my favorite because you have a shower at nighttime. So
Speaker 2: if you ever want to seduce me, all it takes
Speaker 2: is a bit of body wash, a bit of warm water,
Speaker 2: and I'm there.
Speaker 1: So I got into bed after having a shower. It
Speaker 1: was past ten thirty. It was a week night, and
Speaker 1: I'd already said I was tired and had a headache
Speaker 1: a few times before getting into bed. So that was really.
Speaker 2: Confused, very big headache.
Speaker 1: A lot of mixed messages were going on anyway, So
Speaker 1: I get in bed and Matt rolls over and he goes, Babe,
Speaker 1: you're naked, and I was like yes, and he goes,
Speaker 1: but you have your period. And I was like, thank
Speaker 1: you so much for reminding me. Matthew Johnson, like I
Speaker 1: had just forgotten it.
Speaker 2: Well, they were new sheets, they were clean sheets, so
Speaker 2: I was thinking, what is she doing here?
Speaker 1: Matt doesn't know how a tampon works, so I explained
Speaker 1: that to him at ten thirty night, rolled over and
Speaker 1: when to sleep.
Speaker 2: Still don't know the difference between a pad and a tampon.
Speaker 2: It's lost on me.
Speaker 1: Like, so you rolled it up and stuffed it inside.
Speaker 2: I was like, as long as you don't destroy the sheets,
Speaker 2: that's fine.
Speaker 1: So yeah, okay, we didn't talk about fast, but we
Speaker 1: talked about the fact that I have my period and
Speaker 1: we didn't have sex last night. So let's recap episodes.
Speaker 2: And at what point did you decide that I'm going
Speaker 2: to sleep naked?
Speaker 1: After I got out of the shower and I was
Speaker 1: too lazy to put clothes back on, I was already nude,
Speaker 1: so I just thought the fastest route to bed is
Speaker 1: straight into bed. No clothes, do not pass go get
Speaker 1: into the sheets.
Speaker 2: You like to live dangerously. Laura Burn.
Speaker 1: Okay, So I don't know who of you are still
Speaker 1: with us and watching The Bachelor at the moment. The
Speaker 1: ratings would suggest otherwise.
Speaker 2: Well, it's hard because the Olympics. It's just so bloody good.
Speaker 2: I was slow with my watching of the Olympics, but
Speaker 2: now I'm engrossed. I'll watch it and I'll be in tears.
Speaker 2: If Australia even gets close to winning a medal. I'm
Speaker 2: literally in a blubbering mess.
Speaker 1: Well, when we start recapping the Athletics, we know how
Speaker 1: to call on. But right now we've got to recap
Speaker 1: The Bachelor, and to be honest, I have had to
Speaker 1: pull Matt away from the Olympics unfortunately to watch Batch.
Speaker 1: I'm still investor, guys, I am there. I am here
Speaker 1: for it. But if you started watching episode five and
Speaker 1: then you switched off after the single date, you may
Speaker 1: have thought that the episode in its entirety was going
Speaker 1: to be a complete bore. Because before we get into
Speaker 1: the full episode number five, I'm here to tell you
Speaker 1: that that episode was a real Stephen Bradbury just going
Speaker 1: for our Olympic puns because it got good. But it
Speaker 1: started off really.
Speaker 2: Slow, painfully slow. Don't you think Yeah, it.
Speaker 1: Was not It was not good. Can tell me, Matt
Speaker 1: unpack what happened? Single date? Who got it? Where are
Speaker 1: we at?
Speaker 2: Okay, So we start off this episode with a single date.
Speaker 1: Something new and different for an episode of Bachelor.
Speaker 2: Well, hey, sometimes it's a group date first, sometimes it's
Speaker 2: a single date. The clue for this single date, Laura,
Speaker 2: is that it will be aviation based, which doesn't come
Speaker 2: as a huge surprise considering we are bombarded with the
Speaker 2: fact that Jimmy is a pilot every second of every episode.
Speaker 1: You would think the way that they've set up Jimmy
Speaker 1: being the pilot, that that's his only redeeming quality. Like,
Speaker 1: there's nothing else about Jimmy that they're using as a
Speaker 1: selling point. Just he's a pilot, which means he's going
Speaker 1: to only be there and be supporting you in your
Speaker 1: relationship for fifty percent of the time.
Speaker 2: But again, shout out to all the pilots who listened
Speaker 2: to this podcast.
Speaker 1: There's no fifty year old men who listened to this podcast,
Speaker 1: I doubt.
Speaker 2: Anyway, as we're waiting to find out who gets a
Speaker 2: single date, we have a little line here from Steph
Speaker 2: which I find weird because let's just remember on night
Speaker 2: one when they all arrived at the cocktail party, when
Speaker 2: she found out that Jimmy was a captain, she got
Speaker 2: very pissed off because she had once dated a captain.
Speaker 2: She got cheated on, and she pretty much said, I
Speaker 2: hate all pilots.
Speaker 1: It's no secrets of those who know me that I
Speaker 1: do love pilots. The one thing that I like about
Speaker 1: Steph is that she's consistent with her amnesia. Like she's
Speaker 1: very good at forgetting the things that she said in
Speaker 1: the episode before, and it makes for fucking great TV.
Speaker 2: Do you think she's actually forgetting what she said or
Speaker 2: she's just getting caught up in the moment or.
Speaker 1: Option number three? Is it a little bit of an
Speaker 1: editing technique here? You know, like maybe she's said a
Speaker 1: bit more context around when she said, oh, I love
Speaker 1: Clearly she loves pilots, She's dated them in the past,
Speaker 1: So I think that maybe we're seeing fractions and segments
Speaker 1: of what she's saying and it's being used to paint
Speaker 1: a pitch of her, and that picture is that she's very.
Speaker 2: Inconsistent, very inconsistent.
Speaker 1: I also think on this episode and this there's going
Speaker 1: to be a few call outs that we have, which
Speaker 1: we're going to get into a little bit further down
Speaker 1: the track. But I think whoever was editing this episode
Speaker 1: was drunk like because there are a lot of inconsistencies
Speaker 1: in this EPP and I am going to remind me
Speaker 1: of the Max. I'm going to call them out as
Speaker 1: we kind of get along the story because.
Speaker 2: I didn't really see them. You were the one who
Speaker 2: pointed them out, your very egg eyed.
Speaker 1: So I mean, obviously that first little inconsistency, that's not
Speaker 1: an editing one necessarily. But Steph saying that she loves
Speaker 1: aviation and loves pilots, now like it could be a
Speaker 1: slive hands with how they've set her up to look
Speaker 1: like an idiot. But there are quite a few things
Speaker 1: that happen in this episode which are one hundred percent editing,
Speaker 1: and I think once you start to see those things,
Speaker 1: you go ah okay and being painted a picture that
Speaker 1: may not necessarily be one hundred percent true. And who
Speaker 1: would have thought the reality TV would lie to you?
Speaker 2: Oh horror. The poor editor at Channel TiO right now
Speaker 2: is probably sweating thinking, oh my gosh, I'm going to
Speaker 2: be under investigation here. I'm being called out by life uncut.
Speaker 1: What did you think of this single date?
Speaker 3: Ah?
Speaker 2: Okay, look I'm trying to be positive here, trying to
Speaker 2: be positive, but I didn't think a lot of the date,
Speaker 2: to be honest, and partly because when I watch The
Speaker 2: Bachelor and I see the single dates, I want that
Speaker 2: element of just bouginess, you know. I want to have
Speaker 2: the yachts. I want to have the fast cars. I
Speaker 2: don't want to watch somebody in a simulator for forty minutes.
Speaker 1: It's like when you're a kid and somebody else is
Speaker 1: playing the video game and you have to sit next
Speaker 1: to them watching them play the video game. Like, no
Speaker 1: one wants to do that, I mean unless you're really
Speaker 1: really into video games. But having the whole of Australia video.
Speaker 2: So actually this was perfect.
Speaker 1: For her, But watching the whole rest of Australia sitting
Speaker 1: there watching them play a video game really didn't tickle
Speaker 1: my fancy.
Speaker 2: Okay, So for anyone who wonders how the dates actually
Speaker 2: get produced, obviously the Bachelor doesn't sit there make phone
Speaker 2: calls and tries to book in the simulator or book
Speaker 2: in the helicopters. But you do have a producer and
Speaker 2: you sit down with them well in advance, and you
Speaker 2: talk about, hey, what things would you want to do,
Speaker 2: like if you know, blue Sky, thinking what would be
Speaker 2: an ideal date for you and Laura, and you put
Speaker 2: forward options. They make phone calls, they see what's possible.
Speaker 2: But you are really involved in the creation of the dates.
Speaker 2: It's not as if producers just wake you up and
Speaker 2: go all right, and by the way, today you're doing
Speaker 2: the flight simulator. Jimmy would have had a part in
Speaker 2: deciding what this date was, and it was just a
Speaker 2: bit of a budget date.
Speaker 1: I think one of the big things that I didn't
Speaker 1: realize when I was on the show, and something that
Speaker 1: Matt's explained to me since, is that obviously, like like
Speaker 1: you said, you know, you kind of know what you're
Speaker 1: going to do on some of the different dates. And
Speaker 1: the really exciting dates are the dates that are with
Speaker 1: the helicopter, or are with a beautiful big boat or
Speaker 1: somewhere you're going somewhere lavish and lash and it's just
Speaker 1: a really beautiful, well thought out date. They're the dates
Speaker 1: that you save for the girls who you're really really
Speaker 1: interested and for the girls that you have a strong
Speaker 1: connection because you want to impress them and dates like
Speaker 1: going to a fucking simulator in Darling Harbor are really
Speaker 1: not for the girls that you're so excited about.
Speaker 2: And don't you want the dates to be something that you,
Speaker 2: as an everyday person couldn't do. You know, you want
Speaker 2: to be in a ferrari. You want to be going
Speaker 2: somewhere that you, as a normal punter, couldn't have access
Speaker 2: to that. And it's like I could go down and
Speaker 2: pay seventeen fifty and jump in that simulated tomorrow if.
Speaker 1: I wanted to, And I mean, like, look bless and
Speaker 1: they tried to make it exciting. There was a fire
Speaker 1: and then Jimmy did, in pure Jimmy style, get a
Speaker 1: little bit handsy and a little bit suggestive. I want
Speaker 1: to get you going down?
Speaker 3: Is that so?
Speaker 2: As I said that I read, we haven't even a
Speaker 2: dinner Jimmy. Overall, it was a bit of a boring date.
Speaker 2: Although Laura there was a part afterwards where she got
Speaker 2: changed into a red dress. They sat down on a
Speaker 2: rooftop somewhere they did have quite a good kiss.
Speaker 1: This is the first editing thing that I want to
Speaker 1: call out here. And look, I don't know anything more
Speaker 1: than anyone else.
Speaker 2: I couldn't see it. I see it.
Speaker 1: You are blind. You were denying what it is happening
Speaker 1: right in front of your eyes.
Speaker 2: I thought he had a cole saw or something.
Speaker 1: Okay, So if you guys want to go back and
Speaker 1: watch have a look, you can tell me whether I'm
Speaker 1: right or wrong. But I think that Jimmy and Steph
Speaker 1: had been macking on long before he gave her the rose.
Speaker 1: So there's lots of close ups of him talking and
Speaker 1: then being really intimate and chatting about what they want
Speaker 1: and their futures and what they see for themselves. And
Speaker 1: Jimmy has lipstick smeared all over his mouth, which obviously
Speaker 1: the makeup department has tried to cover up and make
Speaker 1: it look less smeared, and Steph is sitting there with
Speaker 1: bright red lipstick that you know when your lipstick has
Speaker 1: been blotted off, and so like you've worn bright red lipstick,
Speaker 1: but then it's kind of been a bit dull down
Speaker 1: because you've macked on with some batchy pilot for the
Speaker 1: last half an hour. That is what has happened here.
Speaker 2: Everyone's like, ah, yes all the time, that one time.
Speaker 2: That happened to me every weekend.
Speaker 1: So I think that they had kissed long before the
Speaker 1: kiss that we saw on the TV. That's what I'm.
Speaker 2: Thinking, Detective Laura added again, although you did say something
Speaker 2: that I thought was bang on when she got changed
Speaker 2: into a red dress that was gifted to her by Jimmy.
Speaker 2: You said, oh, they're going to make her come back
Speaker 2: into the mansion with that dress boxed up and try
Speaker 2: and make the other girls jealous, which is exactly what happened,
Speaker 2: because she came into the kitchen and then poor Sierra
Speaker 2: was standing there with some of the other girls, and
Speaker 2: it was just you could cut the tension with a knife.
Speaker 1: I think as well though that there was a bit
Speaker 1: of editing that went on there. So there was this
Speaker 1: one scene. So Steph is standing there in the kitchen.
Speaker 1: She's there with the three girls and it was Sierra
Speaker 1: and two others whose names I can't remember, but they
Speaker 1: were having a chance. She was unmaking the desk.
Speaker 2: Poor girls.
Speaker 1: Well we're at the point where like we should pretty
Speaker 1: much know everyone's names, but unfortunately we're just not there yet.
Speaker 2: Not the case.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So Steph is standing there and she's having this
Speaker 1: conversation around what her date was. Like, Steph is really
Speaker 1: bragging and she's coming across as too big for her
Speaker 1: shoes after this date. So how do you feel about.
Speaker 3: Your connection with Jimmy now better than yours?
Speaker 1: Okay, So this little grab was something that really stood
Speaker 1: out to me when it happened, and the camera was
Speaker 1: really shaky if you're paying close attention, the camera was shaky.
Speaker 1: It was a really really mean thing that Steph said.
Speaker 1: And Sierra's meant to be one of her closest friends
Speaker 1: in the house.
Speaker 2: But I feel like those two they would have so
Speaker 2: much banter where I feel like they're constantly paying each
Speaker 2: other out, Like I don't think there was any venom
Speaker 2: in that statement.
Speaker 1: I agree, and I think it came across as super mean.
Speaker 1: And the way that the show was put together is
Speaker 1: that as the audience, they wanted us to think that
Speaker 1: that was a really mean exchange. But I don't know
Speaker 1: if I believe it, or maybe there was a little
Speaker 1: bit of frank combiding that went on there as well.
Speaker 1: And Frank and Marting for anyone who doesn't know, is
Speaker 1: where they kind of can take audio and stitch it
Speaker 1: together for it to mean something else or say something else.
Speaker 1: You know, they've taken out something of the sentence, or
Speaker 1: they've stitched together a different word in order to make
Speaker 1: it seem a lot worse than what it maybe was.
Speaker 1: Of course, this is me just speculating. Maybe if she
Speaker 1: is a raging bitch, but I say maybe not. You know,
Speaker 1: maybe Steph isn't as bad as the edit that she's getting.
Speaker 2: Laura, I agree with you for once.
Speaker 1: Well that's really nice to hear, because something that the
Speaker 1: listener doesn't know is that we've already had two fights
Speaker 1: that we vetted out this season.
Speaker 2: A bit of franking Biden going on over here.
Speaker 1: I love you, honey, I love you.
Speaker 2: Okay, group date. So did you know that Jimmy used
Speaker 2: to be a lifeguard?
Speaker 1: No? I thought that Jimmy was only a pilot. But
Speaker 1: he's a man of many talents.
Speaker 2: It would seem, well, they've kept it under wraps, haven't they,
Speaker 2: the lifeguard part.
Speaker 1: I think that they were like, we've really exhausted the
Speaker 1: pilot thing. What else can Jimmy do? Chat there is
Speaker 1: he's a lifeguard.
Speaker 2: He's never been a lifeguard in his life. That is like,
Speaker 2: we need something else. We're flogging this dead horse way
Speaker 2: too much.
Speaker 1: And they just plucked his friend off Bondo beach, and
Speaker 1: they were like, come on down.
Speaker 2: You do Steven, come over here, jump in the boat.
Speaker 1: Do you remember what his friend's name was, Cliff?
Speaker 2: I think it was so Cliff.
Speaker 1: Which it wasn't, but we'll call him that. He brought Cliff.
Speaker 1: You know, you always need to have your friends and
Speaker 1: your family dictate who you date.
Speaker 2: So he looked very nervous, didn't he Cliff?
Speaker 1: He brought his friend, who was a lifeguard along to
Speaker 1: help him make the decision and figure out which girl
Speaker 1: he should spend some extra time with and which girl
Speaker 1: he would be most suited to. I like that he's
Speaker 1: brought his friend try and figure out who he's most
Speaker 1: compatible with. But we all know, I mean, I would
Speaker 1: love to find out this guy's name and find his
Speaker 1: Instagram profile.
Speaker 2: Told you it's Cliff.
Speaker 1: You know that he is one hundred percent going to
Speaker 1: hook up with at least one of Jimmy's sloppy seconds.
Speaker 2: Well, I thought Tatum kind of had a nigh on
Speaker 2: him because there's a few girls in the mix at
Speaker 2: this point haven't had a lot of time with Jimmy,
Speaker 2: so as soon it's a bit of fresh meat, it's
Speaker 2: thrown into the mix. Your eyes are just absolutely fixated
Speaker 2: on that person.
Speaker 1: I can guarantee that him and Tatum are hooked up.
Speaker 1: Now I can't guarantee it, but I'm going to put
Speaker 1: my money on that sports bet. There's my hot tip,
Speaker 1: all right.
Speaker 2: So the objective with this date is that the girl's
Speaker 2: been split into two teams. They've got to paddle out
Speaker 2: into the ocean, which Laura, it's like one foot high surf.
Speaker 1: At the moment, the surf was very small. It was look,
Speaker 1: it would have been cold. You know, they're probably getting
Speaker 1: into winter because it wasn't the nicest day.
Speaker 2: I reckon. They filmed this months ago, so actually would
Speaker 2: have been quite nice, I think temperature wise.
Speaker 1: I remember when we filmed our season, which so would
Speaker 1: have been filmed at the same time, and it was
Speaker 1: freaking freezing.
Speaker 2: Babe.
Speaker 1: Last group date they rocked up in Anna.
Speaker 2: Rax sorry yes, yes, jacket. And now this week they're like,
Speaker 2: all right, girls, getting your bikinis and get out there.
Speaker 1: So this week, like Matt said, they had to go
Speaker 1: out and they were on life saving boards. They had
Speaker 1: to swim ount around the life boys and poor Tatum.
Speaker 1: Tatum at the start, she was the one that didn't
Speaker 1: really want to do it because she had been in
Speaker 1: a situation where she'd been saved before. And she's not
Speaker 1: a strong swimmer, but man, she gave it her all.
Speaker 1: And to be honest, all of the girls gave it.
Speaker 1: They're all except for maybe Holly.
Speaker 2: Well, no, Holly tried hard. She tried, and I'm trying
Speaker 2: to give her the benefit of the doubt here because
Speaker 2: I watched the footage back and it didn't really look
Speaker 2: like she got dumped by a wave because there weren't
Speaker 2: any waves to get dumped by. It even looked like
Speaker 2: she barely got a hair wet. But as she came
Speaker 2: back into shore from her leg of the relay, she
Speaker 2: comes back onto the beach, she then tags a teammate.
Speaker 2: She then drops to her hands and knees, and then
Speaker 2: she's like, help. I think I took out a lot
Speaker 2: of water.
Speaker 1: I think at the start it was the opposite. I
Speaker 1: think she came in and she was like laughing and
Speaker 1: looked really happy, and then she progressively got worse and
Speaker 1: worse and worse. But it did like I mean, at
Speaker 1: the start, it was like I've taken on water. Then
Speaker 1: it turned into I've almost drowned.
Speaker 2: Did you? It was one foot of swell.
Speaker 1: So then okay, the poor thing that had to put
Speaker 1: the whole activity on hold. Holly's in the sick bay.
Speaker 1: She's like covered in a tinfoil jack. No, she's not really,
Speaker 1: she's just got like a blanket over us.
Speaker 2: She's with medic.
Speaker 1: She's with the medic like it's serious, guys. They have
Speaker 1: stopped filming, they have gone. She's taken a full time out.
Speaker 2: And she's there laying on the bed like her hand
Speaker 2: on her head, being like, I don't know if I can.
Speaker 1: Continue, and Jimmy comes in to make sure that she's okay.
Speaker 1: So obviously Jimmy's then left the group date, he's left
Speaker 1: the whole activity and he's spending some one on one
Speaker 1: time with Holly, and she genuinely is a bit of embarrassed.
Speaker 1: But it really escalates from you, guys.
Speaker 2: Didn't Jimmy say I think you should go to hospital?
Speaker 2: Was that from Jimmy or was that from a Holly?
Speaker 2: I think it was Jimmy. And then you know, when
Speaker 2: you can do a situation where you should say it's fine,
Speaker 2: like enough's enough, I'll be good, but she just kind
Speaker 2: of goes, yeah, I think you're right. Next thing. Holly's
Speaker 2: being put into a car and she's being sent to hospital.
Speaker 1: She's still wearing a bikini.
Speaker 2: I think even Holly is thinking, oh fuck, should I
Speaker 2: say something? Maybe I just roll with it.
Speaker 1: She's like, this really really escalated, didn't it? Like being
Speaker 1: put into a taxi to be taken to hospital? And
Speaker 1: she's like, but like, the thing that I don't understand
Speaker 1: is okay, she almost drowned. She walked to the sick bait,
Speaker 1: she walked to the car. She's fine. I don't think
Speaker 1: she needs to have a lung check, but you know what,
Speaker 1: there she is in hospital.
Speaker 2: But also, let's not forget this is a pandemic right now.
Speaker 2: You know, we can't have people rocking up to hospitals
Speaker 2: in bikinis being like, oh I just got my hair
Speaker 2: wet and I wanted to make sure I was okay.
Speaker 2: Oh could you?
Speaker 1: I also think, like the production teams, they stopped it
Speaker 1: after Holly ended up in hospital for taking on too
Speaker 1: much salt water. I'm glad she's okay. She was there
Speaker 1: at the cocktail partty, so she was fine.
Speaker 2: Was she okay?
Speaker 1: Well, the cocktail party would have been the next day.
Speaker 1: In regards to like filming schedule. It would have been
Speaker 1: the next day. She was there. She was fine, she
Speaker 1: was dressed as a turtle, very embarrassed. But I reckon.
Speaker 1: Production probably got two point where they're like, okay, Holly's
Speaker 1: going to hospital. This is a terrible use about resources,
Speaker 1: Like you cannot be having bachelor girls rocking up at
Speaker 1: a hospital during a pandemic because they've taken on too
Speaker 1: much fucking seawater, Like you just can't. So the whole
Speaker 1: group day got called off. Tatum got the extra time,
Speaker 1: and dun dun du another editing trick. We didn't see
Speaker 1: any of Tatum's extra time. We didn't see the kiss.
Speaker 1: We do find out that she has a kiss with him,
Speaker 1: but we don't see the kiss. We also don't see
Speaker 1: him give her the rose. And I want to know why?
Speaker 2: Now? What happened there?
Speaker 1: Know why? Produces Channel ten, Warner Brothers, what happened?
Speaker 2: What have we missed?
Speaker 1: Once upon a time I got some sneaky extra time
Speaker 1: with you, Matthew Johnson, and they didn't show any of
Speaker 1: it because we spent the whole time making.
Speaker 2: Out which was that the paddle steamer which you.
Speaker 1: Took me to the seek. I'm glad you remember it.
Speaker 1: You took me to the secret Garden.
Speaker 2: Ah, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, I remember that.
Speaker 1: I was really really drunk, and I don't think I
Speaker 1: said anything coherent. I didn't say anything that could have
Speaker 1: actually been used to give context to why we liked
Speaker 1: each other. I was just really drunk. I said a
Speaker 1: whole lot of drunk, wasted all stuff, and then we
Speaker 1: made out for about twenty minutes.
Speaker 2: Now, that poor editor would have watched that back and
Speaker 2: been like, oh, what the hell do I do here?
Speaker 2: Cut That's going to end up on the floor.
Speaker 1: He was like, why did he choose her? This is
Speaker 1: a mess. Anyway, nothing's gotten better than that.
Speaker 2: Okay. So I do think it's fair that the girls
Speaker 2: on that group date were a little bit salty for
Speaker 2: want of a better word, that Holly taken up so
Speaker 2: much time with her little incident.
Speaker 1: Good pun. Also, I do think that the girls are
Speaker 1: a little bit like this escalated and seems like a
Speaker 1: massive overreaction.
Speaker 2: It's like someone getting a splinter and then being like, take.
Speaker 1: Me to hospital. And I'm sure maybe there was more
Speaker 1: to it, Like I would have thought that if she
Speaker 1: had really been dumped, we would have seen that on
Speaker 1: the TV, because it would have been a better explanation
Speaker 1: as to why she ended up in hospital. But the
Speaker 1: fact that we just saw her splashing around and then
Speaker 1: laughing and then it kind of escalated. I don't know.
Speaker 1: It was weird for me, and I think it was
Speaker 1: weird for Tatum too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think it was weird for Tatum too.
Speaker 1: I also think she took advantage of the situation trying
Speaker 1: to get, you know, that extra little bit of extra
Speaker 1: time with Jimmy, which brings us to the cocktail party.
Speaker 1: And I have to say, this is probably my favorite
Speaker 1: cocktail party to date. And that's because I know that
Speaker 1: Sierra is a little bit of a villain, but I
Speaker 1: just love her. I know that Sierra is a little
Speaker 1: bit of a villain, but I love her so much
Speaker 1: and I have so much time for her, and I
Speaker 1: have so much time for Laura. Those two I will
Speaker 1: be very sad and might even stop watching the day
Speaker 1: that they leave.
Speaker 2: I really hope that one of them gets a single date.
Speaker 2: I know that they're not going to get one. I
Speaker 2: know there's absolutely no hope even I just hope one
Speaker 2: of them gets an extension on a group date.
Speaker 1: So what happened on this cocktail party is it wasn't
Speaker 1: a usual cocktail party. Obviously, Styling had run out of dresses,
Speaker 1: so instead they made the girls dress up. It was
Speaker 1: kind of like a weird extended group date, like normally
Speaker 1: this is a group date activity, but they made the
Speaker 1: girls dress up in their spirit animal, and all the
Speaker 1: girls chose different animals. Laura chose a sloth, Holly chose
Speaker 1: a turtle, and Tatum's dressed as a bin chicken but
Speaker 1: actually she's a hawk. And then we have Sierra, who
Speaker 1: wanted to dress as a koala up at production wouldn't
Speaker 1: let her. So what I knew, I'm a phoenix, guys,
Speaker 1: I got winged.
Speaker 3: So I was going to say that my spirit animal
Speaker 3: was a choir tonight because I like sleeping and I've
Speaker 3: definitely had chlamydia, but I thought that would be quite
Speaker 3: hard to explain to Jimmy, so I stuck with the
Speaker 3: phoenix because I've risen from the ashes.
Speaker 2: I do love that just because people are wearing costumes,
Speaker 2: it means that they actually act like they're three year olds,
Speaker 2: and the whole cocktail party just turns to shit.
Speaker 1: The girls have just gone wild. Laura's just climbed tree.
Speaker 2: Climbing the tree.
Speaker 1: Oh, come on, I'm not that high. The cocktail party
Speaker 1: has completely derailed. It's like a fucking circus. All the
Speaker 1: girls are dressed like they're in a zoo, and they're
Speaker 1: behaving like they're in a zoo. But during this whole situation,
Speaker 1: and while this is going on, Ash uses this time
Speaker 1: to take Jimmy to the jacuzzi, and they spend a
Speaker 1: lot of one on one time together, and the girls
Speaker 1: seem to have been getting quite frustrated by the fact
Speaker 1: that they were spending so much extra time together.
Speaker 2: And like the rest of this episode, we think things
Speaker 2: have been pretty choppy. And I did notice the editing
Speaker 2: at the Rose ceremony because you have all these close
Speaker 2: ups of the girl's faces, you know, like sometimes they
Speaker 2: look quite nervous, you know, very tense. And there were
Speaker 2: multiple girls that I thought it was quite obvious they'd
Speaker 2: been crying, so Ash, for example, had quite puffy eyes.
Speaker 2: Brooke was another one who definitely looked like she'd been crying,
Speaker 2: But they gave no context and didn't reference any of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they did try and allude to the
Speaker 1: fact that maybe the girls weren't that happy that Ash
Speaker 1: had spent so much time with Jimmy and the jacuzzi,
Speaker 1: but obviously something bigger had gone on, like there's something
Speaker 1: that's happened there. There's been a fight, there's been an
Speaker 1: argument or something that we're not seeing because it was
Speaker 1: really choppy. The girls looked super upset, and you know,
Speaker 1: by the end of the night, you're usually pretty emotional.
Speaker 1: They're pretty long late nights, and there were many cocktail
Speaker 1: parties that by the end of them some of the
Speaker 1: girls were crying. On our season, but a single night,
Speaker 1: every single night, But as the viewer, you would never know.
Speaker 1: It was just so obvious that quite a few girls
Speaker 1: were crying at that cocktail party. So if you are
Speaker 1: from The Bachelor this year, if you have a friend
Speaker 1: who was on the I want to know, slide into
Speaker 1: my DMS. Tell me what are the girls crying about.
Speaker 1: I want to unpack this. I want to get straight
Speaker 1: to the source.
Speaker 2: Otherwise, I think we'll have to just make a mental
Speaker 2: note of this issue and ask Jimmy and number one.
Speaker 1: When the show's over, we have the rose ceremony, Eleanor
Speaker 1: goes home. Elena is pretty much the last person who
Speaker 1: has had zero airtime. So if you didn't know who
Speaker 1: she was, that's not your fault.
Speaker 2: I did know her though in real life. She works
Speaker 2: at Fitness First at Bonni Junction.
Speaker 1: When were you going to tell me this?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 2: I only realized recently. Okay, and do you know what
Speaker 2: I heard? Heard a rumor. Do you remember we spoke
Speaker 2: to Jimmy and he said that he spoke to Tim
Speaker 2: Robards at the gym at Fitness First. Yeah, remember that,
Speaker 2: And so Elena works there. So I'm like, there's absolutely
Speaker 2: no way that if Jimmy's training there on a regular basis,
Speaker 2: that he wouldn't have bumped into Elena. They would have
Speaker 2: known each other before the show started.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, how have you not told me this?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I forgot to tell you.
Speaker 1: Sorry, mate, We've been doing batch recaps for three weeks
Speaker 1: and you've just met that bit of sourcy information to yourself.
Speaker 1: We've also been together.
Speaker 2: Well, it's not that exciting because if she won then
Speaker 2: it would have been exciting.
Speaker 1: She went home and also got air time. So yeah, look,
Speaker 1: it wasn't that exciting. But thank you, that was se Go.
Speaker 1: You blew my socks off. That's the most exciting thing.
Speaker 1: That's happened to me today?
Speaker 2: Little bombshell midway through the episode. Should we get onto
Speaker 2: episode six? Now?
Speaker 1: Episode six was a goodie. I really liked episode six.
Speaker 2: Well, she's back, is she now? Me in it?
Speaker 1: I'm here? And I also have really good feelings about Jay.
Speaker 1: So Jay got the single date on episode number six
Speaker 1: and I'm there with you, babe. Okay. When we did
Speaker 1: these from the very beginning, Matt picked Jay as his
Speaker 1: number one.
Speaker 2: Girl, and I was worried because I think up until now,
Speaker 2: all she's had is the little extra moments in the
Speaker 2: business lounge, class area, whatever it's called. And she's done
Speaker 2: food tasting, she's done chess, she's done ping pong. I
Speaker 2: was like, is this girl just miss quirky? What's gonna happen?
Speaker 2: Why isn't she getting a date? I thought she was.
Speaker 2: I thought she was going to fade into the background.
Speaker 1: And like we said earlier in this little episode that
Speaker 1: we're doing, Matt said, you know that you save the
Speaker 1: most impressive dates for the girls that you want to impress.
Speaker 1: Who would have thought? Makes complete sense? And Jay's date
Speaker 1: was awesome. It was like the old bachelor had come back.
Speaker 1: She had a helicopter. She had race cars. I don't know.
Speaker 1: They had a weird little business class lounge intimacy time
Speaker 1: set up, which actually they were just a kind of seats,
Speaker 1: which you know what. Look, we'll get into that later,
Speaker 1: but let's start with the helicopter. Baby, he's taking me
Speaker 1: to Fiji. Oh, poor Jay, she's been watching too much
Speaker 1: of the American Bachelor, where they actually have budgets. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: on the Australian Bachelor, all you do is fly around
Speaker 1: the mansion and then you go down the road and
Speaker 1: have a picnic.
Speaker 2: Well, actually it was a little bit better than a
Speaker 2: picnic because I had the jet ski in someone's like backyard.
Speaker 1: Dam I forgot the jet ski. Oh my gosh. She
Speaker 1: really got the trifecta. So Jay had a helicopter. Then
Speaker 1: she had a jet ski ride, which she did blindfold it,
Speaker 1: and I mean she just looked hot in a bikini
Speaker 1: and she was extremely extremely fake tan and there was
Speaker 1: a lot going on. I enjoyed every part of it.
Speaker 1: And then Jay had to race a car. And I'm
Speaker 1: going to take a wild guess and say that MG
Speaker 1: Motors is probably a sponsor of the Bachelor this year.
Speaker 2: Well, hang on, let's not jump to conclusions.
Speaker 1: Laura, it's fucking wild.
Speaker 2: I was very excited about the drag race, except Jay
Speaker 2: wasn't into it, which surprised me because she seems like
Speaker 2: somebody who would be really into an adrenaline fuel date.
Speaker 2: But apparently she had a little car accident in the past.
Speaker 3: I can understand why Jay's feeling nervous.
Speaker 2: Accidents can really rattle you. But this car is full
Speaker 2: of safety features, so hopefully she can relax and just
Speaker 2: have some fun.
Speaker 1: I really love that Jimmy has emphasized that the car
Speaker 1: is full of safety features. Now, when he said that,
Speaker 1: I thought that they were going to get into like
Speaker 1: a motor car, you know that's got like a cage inside,
Speaker 1: a roll cage something, something that's going to really protect her.
Speaker 1: He gets into a car and puts a seat belt
Speaker 1: on and says, this car is full of safety features.
Speaker 1: I'm going to put ten dollars on a bet that
Speaker 1: the car she had a car accident in had a
Speaker 1: seat belt as well. Jimmy just to guess.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So they have the race and you know, shock horror,
Speaker 2: Jimmy loses. Of course he's going to lose. He's a gentleman,
Speaker 2: do you think he set that up?
Speaker 1: Do you think he lost on purpose?
Speaker 2: Of course, of course, this poor girl's been in a
Speaker 2: car accident. He's not going to then drop the clutch
Speaker 2: foot down the accelerator and then try and burn poor
Speaker 2: Jay at the starting line. If you're not first, you last.
Speaker 1: Poor Jay. So anyway, Jay wins. They have some really
Speaker 1: cute bant I actually really liked them together for a
Speaker 1: little while there. I thought that, you know, the only
Speaker 1: thing they had was the gimmicky ping pong.
Speaker 2: In the chest.
Speaker 1: But they're really really cute, and I'm kind of coming
Speaker 1: over to your camp. And there was a part of
Speaker 1: me after this date that made me think she might
Speaker 1: be number two. So I still think Holly's number one,
Speaker 1: but I think maybe Jay is going to be number
Speaker 1: two girl.
Speaker 2: Now think why? Why?
Speaker 1: Because they were just so cute and like he is
Speaker 1: so into her. So when they had the extra time
Speaker 1: and they were sitting on the economy seats that were
Speaker 1: in the business class lounge area or whatever the hell
Speaker 1: they called it, he was just like he was so
Speaker 1: into her, Like the kiss was really passionate. He did
Speaker 1: the whole hand behind the head thing and called her in.
Speaker 2: It was absolute textbook textbook date. It takes all the boxes.
Speaker 2: It was high budget, it was multi layered. There was
Speaker 2: so much to that date as opposed to just like
Speaker 2: let's remind ourselves last episode before that was a simulator
Speaker 2: and that was it. She had helicopters, she had jet skis,
Speaker 2: she had drag racing, she had everything. And Laura. I
Speaker 2: also made note of the fact that they're both part Fijian,
Speaker 2: they both live in Sydney, they both like food. They're
Speaker 2: a match made in heaven? Am I right? I rest
Speaker 2: my case, Laura burn I rest my case.
Speaker 1: Oh wow.
Speaker 2: And the kiss was full on in a good way,
Speaker 2: like there was. There was definite sparks between the two.
Speaker 2: And when I watch a kiss, you can tell when
Speaker 2: two people are really into it. And when I was
Speaker 2: watching that kiss, Laura.
Speaker 3: You.
Speaker 1: Were really into it.
Speaker 2: That's why when you came to bed with no clothes on,
Speaker 2: I was like, this woman, So.
Speaker 1: You're trying to tell me it wasn't the athletics that
Speaker 1: got you turned on last night.
Speaker 2: A combination bit of athletics pepping in with a bit
Speaker 2: of Bachelor and I am good to go.
Speaker 1: Okay, Jimmy did do a Matty j Special. He went
Speaker 1: in and grabbed the back of her neck and pulled
Speaker 1: her in. That was what you did on every sea
Speaker 1: on our season. That was fun to watch. But anyway,
Speaker 1: we're not talking about you or fighting.
Speaker 2: It's how Asha teaches us to kiss before the season starts.
Speaker 1: So, okay, they had their group date. She gets a rose.
Speaker 1: It's no surprise.
Speaker 2: I think she could win. I think she could win.
Speaker 1: I don't think she's gonna win. But it was a
Speaker 1: very good date. Also, I was here for the group
Speaker 1: date this time as well. It was a great group date.
Speaker 1: The group date was that five girls out of all
Speaker 1: of those who were on the group date, got chosen
Speaker 1: to have avatars. Now, firstly, I don't know how they
Speaker 1: chose the five girls. All these girls rocked up on
Speaker 1: a group date and half them just have to stand
Speaker 1: around and watch the five avatars. So the group date,
Speaker 1: the five girls who get chosen have been paired up
Speaker 1: with a different avatar, and basically what happens is that
Speaker 1: they are in a hidden room somewhere with microphones, watching
Speaker 1: on a TV and the avatar that represents them. There
Speaker 1: was five different months. There was a clown, a queen,
Speaker 1: a wizard, a pirate, and an adventurer, so the avatar
Speaker 1: who represented them had to enact whatever the girls said
Speaker 1: or did based on the answers that the avatars gave.
Speaker 1: Jimmy was then going to see who was most hatible
Speaker 1: without being able to see the girl's faces, which is.
Speaker 2: Quite a fun concept. And what's even more fun is
Speaker 2: the fact that Sierra was one of the girls who
Speaker 2: got picked and I just love her so much. Just
Speaker 2: when I think she's delivered all that she can, she's
Speaker 2: brought the lulls. I'm like, what else can you do
Speaker 2: to make this more entertaining? And she starts crying, which
Speaker 2: is very confusing, but we find out why everybody good?
Speaker 2: Are you okay?
Speaker 1: I'm really skin of clowns?
Speaker 3: Are you upset to the clowns? No comment?
Speaker 1: No, no for the comment.
Speaker 2: This does feel a little similar to a group date
Speaker 2: that I had on my season.
Speaker 1: What season was that, Matthew Johnson Season five?
Speaker 2: Where I think you had to rank yourself in order
Speaker 2: of like who was funniest or who was most selfish?
Speaker 2: And I would have to then see who was most
Speaker 2: compatible with myself?
Speaker 1: Okay, this was the most cooked group day, Like I
Speaker 1: hated this group date. Basically there was six of us
Speaker 1: or seven of us left, I can't remember, but every
Speaker 1: single girl who was left when on this group date
Speaker 1: and we were given little podiums and the podiums had
Speaker 1: numbers on them one to seven and Osha would ask
Speaker 1: a question or Matt would ask a question, and we
Speaker 1: had to rank ourselves. And the questions were things like
Speaker 1: who is the funniest out of you seven girls, and
Speaker 1: so we would have to fight between ourselves to rank ourselves.
Speaker 1: Number one was the funniest, Number seven was least funniest.
Speaker 1: The issue was is that only one person could stand
Speaker 1: on one box. So basically, if you chose that you
Speaker 1: were the funniest, you would get box number one, and
Speaker 1: then you can't had to fight between the girls and
Speaker 1: like maybe if two girls were standing on the same box,
Speaker 1: you would then be bickering in front of Matt over
Speaker 1: why you thought you were funnier. But the questions were
Speaker 1: so mean. There was questions like who's the funniest, who's
Speaker 1: the nicest, who's the most likely to lie? Things like this,
Speaker 1: which just left everyone feeling so salty by the end
Speaker 1: of the day. And I got our first because I'm
Speaker 1: clearly the shittest person on APPE because.
Speaker 2: You threw your toys out of the pram and I'm
Speaker 2: not doing this. You're checking it round to drive us.
Speaker 2: I'm not playing, and you.
Speaker 1: Were taking advantage of us, and I was not playing.
Speaker 2: You're on a reality TV show to fall in love.
Speaker 2: Of course you're being taken advantage of.
Speaker 1: Tara and I both got out like we we just
Speaker 1: didn't want to have to argue over whether we were
Speaker 1: funnier or kinder or whatever it was. And then there
Speaker 1: were some girls from our season who kept on putting
Speaker 1: themselves on box one or two.
Speaker 2: It was brilliant. I loved it, but it was so.
Speaker 1: Bad because whoever got the most points, whoever was like
Speaker 1: the funniest, the prettiest, the whatever, all the things that
Speaker 1: you want to be as a person, ended up getting
Speaker 1: the extra time with Matt that day.
Speaker 2: And both my date and this date from episode six
Speaker 2: ended in the same way, where the girls had to
Speaker 2: write a letter directed at the Bachelor, and it was
Speaker 2: all about what they want for their future, their timeline,
Speaker 2: where they want to end up, what's missing in their life.
Speaker 1: It was quite emotional, and I think that these letters,
Speaker 1: I mean these letters were like two pages long that
Speaker 1: Jimmy had been given.
Speaker 2: Oh, some girls are giving him like an absolute say.
Speaker 2: They were like a wad of paper, and Jimmy's like,
Speaker 2: oh fuck, hen now I've got to read through all this.
Speaker 1: It's like timestamp. She's like, I want to get married
Speaker 1: at the beautiful church in Darling Point on the twenty
Speaker 1: second of October in twenty twenty four. Look, these letters
Speaker 1: were so detailed. Jimmy only read out a tiny paragraph
Speaker 1: of each.
Speaker 2: But there's such sentimental letters and they're being delivered by
Speaker 2: like a clown hopping down the stairs or like a pirate.
Speaker 2: It was so weird. It was like the producers that
Speaker 2: had mushrooms the night before, me being like, let's just
Speaker 2: say this, who cares? Yeah, get a queen in there
Speaker 2: as well, who cares? And a guy addresses a wizard.
Speaker 2: No one's gonna ask any questions.
Speaker 1: Like, no one's watching this season anyways.
Speaker 2: Doesn't matter what we do far out.
Speaker 1: Ashley gets the extra time in this day because her
Speaker 1: letter is the most sentimental she talks about. I kind
Speaker 1: of think, and I'm going to say this, I think
Speaker 1: ash may have leant into some things that she thought
Speaker 1: Jimmy wanted to hear. She said, it's not about quantity time,
Speaker 1: it's about quality time, which is the perfect thing to
Speaker 1: say to someone who you know is not going to
Speaker 1: be around for fifty percent of your relationship. So anyway
Speaker 1: she gets the extra time. Sierra is a little bit
Speaker 1: pissed about it.
Speaker 3: I'm just a little bit disappointed that it was Ashley,
Speaker 3: I guess because she sas.
Speaker 2: I felt really bad for ash during this extra time,
Speaker 2: because obviously she's had no time with Jimmy whatsoever, and
Speaker 2: this poor girl, she wanted to have time with him
Speaker 2: so badly, and straight from the get go, he was
Speaker 2: picking her story apart because she said at one point
Speaker 2: she wanted to have kids in three to five years,
Speaker 2: but then at the same time she met the right guy,
Speaker 2: she'd have kids in two years. And it was almost
Speaker 2: as if every answer that she gave Jimmy would have
Speaker 2: a grimace on his face and he would disagree with it.
Speaker 2: She just couldn't say anything that was right.
Speaker 1: I totally agree, and I felt the same thing. I
Speaker 1: think Jimmy had already made up his mind that he
Speaker 1: was sending her home, or that she was going to
Speaker 1: be going home very soon.
Speaker 2: Well, she didn't get a rose.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it was so that, like, I mean, she's thirty.
Speaker 1: Of course she's gonna say, you know, I'm thinking about
Speaker 1: having kids in the next five that's like the token answer, Yeah,
Speaker 1: five years time. No one knows what's gonna happen in
Speaker 1: five years. I said to you five or six years.
Speaker 2: I was like, nice, try idiot.
Speaker 1: That's just popping my contraceptive pill out.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So look, I mean things changed and she said
Speaker 1: two years and he was like offended that maybe if
Speaker 1: she met the right person, she'd want to have kids
Speaker 1: in two years. He's like, God, that's too soon. And look,
Speaker 1: I get it, relationships do change it around the three
Speaker 1: to four years mark. You know, you do need to
Speaker 1: spend time with someone to get to know them. But
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just felt like she was being
Speaker 1: punished a little bit for being honest. And I think
Speaker 1: that what she said in regards to her timeline for
Speaker 1: children is the exact same thing that some of the
Speaker 1: other girls have said on their single dates. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: they haven't been punished for it, So I don't. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm glad he sent a home if he wasn't interested
Speaker 1: in her, But I don't think that that was the
Speaker 1: reason why she was sent home.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess the one thing that we both didn't
Speaker 2: like though with this episode is the fact that he
Speaker 2: didn't give her the rose. And then it was the
Speaker 2: next day at the cocktail party that Jimmy entered said
Speaker 2: hi to everybody, b lined it for Ash, took her
Speaker 2: outside and had a conversation with her, and at that
Speaker 2: point he said, Hey, I'm going to send you home
Speaker 2: because I really see you as nothing more than a friend.
Speaker 2: You're a lovely person, but there's no spark here. And
Speaker 2: I did kind of think, oh, man, like, you could
Speaker 2: have just sent her home at the end of your
Speaker 2: extension time, at the end of the group date. You
Speaker 2: could have said goodbye right then and there.
Speaker 1: Or he could have just sent her home at the
Speaker 1: row ceremony. I think like the calling her out and
Speaker 1: doing it in front of everyone and making a big
Speaker 1: deal about it. I mean, on one hand, yes, of course,
Speaker 1: I think it's noble to make the choice to send
Speaker 1: someone home. It's a hard decision to make, but I
Speaker 1: actually think it's like way more dramatic and more embarrassing
Speaker 1: sending someone home in the middle of a cocktail party.
Speaker 1: When you're literally supposed to send someone home in an
Speaker 1: hour anyway, and also you've just.
Speaker 2: Had your hair and makeup done, you've got your dress on.
Speaker 1: At least if you wait to the row ceremony, you
Speaker 1: get to say goodbye to your friends. Like, she just
Speaker 1: got fucking walked out the front and he was like, okay,
Speaker 1: hop in the car now. She didn't even get to
Speaker 1: say bite anyone.
Speaker 2: She's like a fake tan for this. I've got fake
Speaker 2: lashes on. Really, dude, you could have just told me,
Speaker 2: like in an hour after I had a few free champagnes.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So look, Ash went home, and I feel like
Speaker 1: it was the first time we actually got to see
Speaker 1: or have anything to do with Ash. I think from
Speaker 1: the very start of that episode we knew she was
Speaker 1: going home because it was the first time that she'd
Speaker 1: been given any airtime, and all the girls were really
Speaker 1: upset that Ash was gone, and also that they didn't
Speaker 1: get an opportunity to say goodbye to her.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I wasn't expecting that.
Speaker 2: Eg's really upsetting.
Speaker 1: I'm really surprised. Yeah, but guys.
Speaker 3: We're all saying, so that's a position too soon.
Speaker 1: Too soon.
Speaker 2: I love her so much.
Speaker 1: Look, she's the person that you love to hate but
Speaker 1: hate to love. I don't even know if that makes sense,
Speaker 1: but I love her that I don't hat well said?
Speaker 2: Can I ask Laura in that situation, would she have
Speaker 2: literally hopped in a limousine and gone or would she
Speaker 2: have driven back then to collect her bags and say
Speaker 2: goodbye to everybody else? Like? Do you actually get a
Speaker 2: chance to say goodbye to the girls if you leave
Speaker 2: outside of a rose ceremony?
Speaker 1: So we hadn't happened a couple of times on our season.
Speaker 1: I can't remember. I know that Charlene went home early
Speaker 1: during a cocktail party, and I know that somebody else, Oh,
Speaker 1: another girl went home just after a date. So it
Speaker 1: was Liz Liz. So this is where to our season, guys,
Speaker 1: Liz went home on one of those double dates, you
Speaker 1: know how, like on The Bachelor's sometimes they'll send two
Speaker 1: girls off on a single date together and only one
Speaker 1: person comes home.
Speaker 2: Two girls leave and only one comes back to.
Speaker 1: Girls one cup. That's definitely a different show.
Speaker 2: Sends keep this PG for this episode. You're disgusting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, since you were derailing pretty quickly, aren't we. Anyways,
Speaker 1: we're coming to the end I think it's fifty to fifty.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you get a quick opportunity to say goodbye. But
Speaker 1: I think in this instance with Ash, I actually don't
Speaker 1: think she would have said goodbye. I think Jimmy would
Speaker 1: have put her in the car, and then what would
Speaker 1: have happened is she would have been sitting in the
Speaker 1: car and producers would have brought her bags out to
Speaker 1: the car, because usually you have everything already packed. Everything's
Speaker 1: every single night before a cocktail party starts, every single
Speaker 1: contestant has to pack up their suitcase, pack up all
Speaker 1: their belongings.
Speaker 2: Unless you've been given a rose on your date or
Speaker 2: group extension.
Speaker 1: Exactly, you have to pack everything up as though you're
Speaker 1: going home. And they say to you, if you leave anything,
Speaker 1: you can't get it, like, we're not going to fucking
Speaker 1: mail your shampoo back, We're not gonna mail you your toothbrush.
Speaker 1: Don't forget anything, make sure you've packed it all up.
Speaker 1: So I reckon she would have been sitting in the
Speaker 1: car and producers obviously would have known she was going home,
Speaker 1: and they'd been like, hey, Goshley, have a safe trip,
Speaker 1: you know, enjoying McDonald's on the way home.
Speaker 2: I'm so upsetting did you have Did you always pack
Speaker 2: your bags for every row ceremony.
Speaker 1: Every single rose ceremony. I was not cocky at all.
Speaker 1: Some girls would leave their stuff out, and the producers
Speaker 1: were like, if you get sent home, we will we
Speaker 1: will not pack your bag for you. We will not
Speaker 1: be getting anything that you like you out And some
Speaker 1: of the girls were like, ah, I'm not going home on.
Speaker 2: This cockta buddy, Yeah, but not you, Laura ben.
Speaker 1: Here I am. My stuff is still la strewn across
Speaker 1: the floor. But anyway, guys, that is it. That's episodes
Speaker 1: five and six.
Speaker 2: I feel like next week there's going to be a
Speaker 2: lot more people watching because the Olympics will be over.
Speaker 1: And for anybody who's missed the first couple of episodes,
Speaker 1: you know what, you don't have to go back and
Speaker 1: watch it on tenplay. You can just jump on and
Speaker 1: listen to the batcherycabs. Probably funnier, maybe a little bit
Speaker 1: less reliable, but.
Speaker 2: You will get more fart jokes.
Speaker 1: And more bodily functions. In general.
Speaker 2: Lot's to look forward to. Can I also just say
Speaker 2: no no, I just want to say obviously people can
Speaker 2: tell it a little bit sick right now.
Speaker 1: Oh, Crimy River and.
Speaker 2: Hey, don't worry, though, guys, I've persevered. I'm not one
Speaker 2: hundred percent, but I'll stop at nothing to get this
Speaker 2: podcast done, because you know I do this for you
Speaker 2: guys listening right now.
Speaker 1: Do you know how hard it is living with a
Speaker 1: man who has the man flu and not not COVID,
Speaker 1: living with a man who has man flu.
Speaker 2: I have cooked dinner two nights in a row right now,
Speaker 2: and I've done the dishwasher the last five times in
Speaker 2: a row. So just be careful what you say.
Speaker 1: Laura, you are a god. You are like hercules.
Speaker 2: You don't know how good you have it.
Speaker 1: Every single time Matt does something, every single time he cooks,
Speaker 1: every time he cleans, every time he wipes the toilet bowl,
Speaker 1: He's like, you don't know how good you have it, Laura.
Speaker 1: I am an excellent husband. Other men don't do anything.
