  Speaker 2: Hey, it's been here on the Almost Famous podcast and
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: the end of the year is around the corner. So
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: we're talking with more Bachelor Nation alum about those moments
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: from the show that will never leave their mind. So
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: let's check in with Kathy Schwartz, Mercedes Northup, and Deanna Stagliano.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: Okay, Dianna and Mercedes, I've wanted to ask you this
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: for a while. What is the bachelor moment that lives
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: rent free in your head?
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: What do you think, Dianna? What's yours?
• 0:40
  Speaker 5: That one time a bachelor didn't choose anyone? It changed
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: the trajectory of my life clearly. But it does like
• 0:51
  Speaker 5: he's the one guy you have. You have twenty five
• 0:53
  Speaker 5: or thirty girls there and you couldn't pick anyone. Says
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: more about him than it does me. Or maybe it's
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: maybe it says a lot about.
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: Me, y'all. Who was it? Who was the guy back? Oh? Yeah, yeah,
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: he bumped into him in Austin. He lives here.
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: He's so wonderful. I'm joking.
• 1:13
  Speaker 6: It does live rent free.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: It's still single, He's still single. Ill it's to be
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: maybe not, I thought to.
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: Interpretation, but he's a great guy.
• 1:22
  Speaker 7: He's a great guy.
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: It does live rent free in my head though, because
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: I've always thought that and have never gotten that answer
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: from him. We stayed friends for a long time, but
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: it was like, I don't know, man, you have twenty
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: five to thirty women there, and you couldn't pick anyone,
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: like you don't have to marry them, but like you
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: didn't see anything in anyone that you might want to
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: go on a second date in real life, Like you
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: didn't want anyone.
• 1:43
  Speaker 7: I don't know why.
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: That's always but obviously thankfully he did not, and then.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: He wanted everyone and couldn't just choose one.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: I don't think so.
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: There no no, But you know what, it is odd
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: because then when I became the Bachelorette, when I went
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: to the end of my season, ultimately when it was done,
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: I thought, oh, I kind of wish i'd have done
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: the same thing. You know, you get to know people,
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: and then I forced a relationship. I picked a guy
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: who I thought that I loved, and then within within days,
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: you guys, I was like, oh, crap, crap. So looking back,
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: I mean, hindsight is always twenty twenty. But I kind
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: of wish I would have done the same thing.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Damn, I wish I had the opportunity everything better where
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: we are.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: What about you?
• 2:27
  Speaker 8: Oh my gosh, I feel like there's so many but
• 2:30
  Speaker 8: one that lives rent free my head. And it's because
• 2:32
  Speaker 8: it made the bloopers. If it didn't make the bloopers,
• 2:34
  Speaker 8: I probably would be like, oh, that was so fun,
• 2:36
  Speaker 8: but it wouldn't like live rent Free in my head.
• 2:39
  Speaker 8: So basically, and you guys can attest to the relationship
• 2:42
  Speaker 8: with the women like it is real friendships that you
• 2:46
  Speaker 8: can't even describe because you're in a situation together and
• 2:50
  Speaker 8: you just get so close so fast. But obviously you
• 2:53
  Speaker 8: know you're being filmed. But we had one night where
• 2:56
  Speaker 8: I feel like we all just completely forgot that there
• 2:58
  Speaker 8: was cameras around, and we were all we were listening
• 3:02
  Speaker 8: to music, just hanging out, and someone was like, all right,
• 3:05
  Speaker 8: who can teach us, like how to twork? And I
• 3:08
  Speaker 8: was and I was like I can, So we had
• 3:11
  Speaker 8: a full on like I literally taught the girls how
• 3:14
  Speaker 8: to twork and it was so funny. It was so
• 3:16
  Speaker 8: fun Again, we completely forgot the cameras around. And then
• 3:19
  Speaker 8: at women tell all we did the bloopers and that.
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: I could listen if you want to step back. I
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: could use a good lesson myself, the girls, I could,
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: I could use a solid lesson.
• 3:35
  Speaker 8: I was like, there's no way this is making national
• 3:38
  Speaker 8: television right now, Like this is actually insane.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: And now for anyone who had forgotten Mercedes, you've just
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: brought it back to the.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: We're gonna we're gonna have Kathy. We're gonna have to
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: find this video and use this promotional clip for this episode.
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: Mercedes just just popping in this.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: This talker is looking for the man for dreams. Here
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: you go. Check her out.
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: She loves Jesus and she also knows how okay.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Mine, I got to tell you Mine that lives rent
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: free in my head and my children, unfortunately there's two
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: lives rent free in their head. Is me doing a
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: body shot on Paradise this past summer off of c
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: k who who was one of the guys on Jones season.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: I didn't know what a body shot was. I thought
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: that was like a punching bag. I literally had no idea,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: and I see them.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: I had no idea. So that will forever live run free.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: My first and last body shot hopefully ever in my life.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: And then the but the sweet one, because I never
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: forget what Batchelor is about, and it's about love and
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: hope and connection and something we all want. And I
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: got to tell you, I have not watched every season
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: of Bachelor, but the one that the proposal that stands
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: out for me is Sean and Catherine's. And they're married
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: now with what I don't I think three kids. But
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: I'll never forget the look on her face. First of all,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: I thought she was so beautiful anyway, and I just
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: the fact that they are happily married and together, to me,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: was so evident in that proposal, you know, the way
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: he said, I'm going to tell you I love you
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: every day, and the look of raw emotion on both
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: of their faces. I honestly that there's been lots of
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: great proposals, but that that one.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: And I can't wait to meet them.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: I've never met them, but i'll meet them on the
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: on the cruise coming up in November. I can't wait
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: to meet them. I that for me was I want
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: some guy to say that have that look in his
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: eyes to me?
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, some people, I think it's just in
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: their destiny to go on the show and to meet
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: their person and live happily ever after.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: And you are right, Kathy.
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: I think Sean and Catherine we were a great example
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: of that. Jason and Molly too. I am there are
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: there are, there are several good stories. But I just
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: find that interesting how we all went on there and
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: maybe we didn't find our forever after, but some people did.
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: Some people that was their path.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: That's believing believe that it can work. And I believe
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: that that can work. So you know, I just love that.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: I'm a I'm a weirdo. I've gone back and watched
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: that uh proposal, No really, because it's just like, yep,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: it can happen.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: It can happen.
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: See, Oh it's sweet.
• 6:26
  Speaker 9: It is.
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: Bachelor Bob Guinea.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 6:31
  Speaker 9: So when I think of Bachelor moments in history that
• 6:35
  Speaker 9: basically will forever be etched in my brain, I have
• 6:40
  Speaker 9: many of my own, of course, you know my experiences
• 6:43
  Speaker 9: on Trista's season and then of course when I was
• 6:45
  Speaker 9: a Bachelor, But one that really stands out for me,
• 6:49
  Speaker 9: that is above and beyond is the moment where Jake
• 6:54
  Speaker 9: Pavelka and Vienna Girardi took their breakup on a one
• 6:58
  Speaker 9: hour special where Chris Harrison sat down with them and asked,
• 7:02
  Speaker 9: you know what's going on, guys? Can we talk about
• 7:05
  Speaker 9: what's going on with your relationship? And it turned into
• 7:08
  Speaker 9: something that I don't think anyone was anticipating, and it
• 7:13
  Speaker 9: became a pretty unbelievable moment. I got to know Jake
• 7:18
  Speaker 9: over the years, and he's actually a very nice guy,
• 7:21
  Speaker 9: but man, this moment, I remember thinking, this, poor dude,
• 7:24
  Speaker 9: who would have agreed to this? Like, oh my god.
• 7:27
  Speaker 9: He went on a show and he starts to try
• 7:30
  Speaker 9: and tell his version of events to Chris as to
• 7:33
  Speaker 9: why he and Vienna are breaking up, and Vienna chimes in,
• 7:37
  Speaker 9: you know, as one would in a conversation, and He's like,
• 7:40
  Speaker 9: would you stop interrupting? May god, she melts down, She
• 7:48
  Speaker 9: gets up and leaves. He's there to see she's just
• 7:50
  Speaker 9: always interrupting, you know, like just it was insanity, absolute craziness,
• 7:55
  Speaker 9: and I remember thinking to myself that it had to
• 7:58
  Speaker 9: be the biggest train wreck in televion history, at least
• 8:01
  Speaker 9: for me watching it. And I'll never forget it. And
• 8:04
  Speaker 9: as long as I swear, as long as I talk
• 8:07
  Speaker 9: about The Bachelor, stuff and think about my memories that
• 8:10
  Speaker 9: I have. I usually have those pretty rosy moments, all
• 8:13
  Speaker 9: puns intended, but I also think about how I could
• 8:16
  Speaker 9: have gone and this was where you would never want
• 8:19
  Speaker 9: it to go. So my moment is the Jake and
• 8:21
  Speaker 9: Vienna Battle Royale breakup interview.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Bachelorette Trista Sutter and Daisy Kent.
• 8:40
  Speaker 10: Hi, everybody, it's Trista and I am here with Daisy
• 8:43
  Speaker 10: Kent and we are going to share the moments that
• 8:47
  Speaker 10: live rent free in our head from the Bachelor and
• 8:50
  Speaker 10: the Bachelorette and all of our Bachelor experiences.
• 8:53
  Speaker 7: So Daisy, why don't you go first?
• 8:54
  Speaker 10: What is your rent free moment that lives in your head?
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: Okay, I have a few.
• 9:00
  Speaker 11: I would have to say one that I always think
• 9:01
  Speaker 11: of is Ari's season, just because I feel like the
• 9:05
  Speaker 11: end was so messy. I mean, everyone definitely ended up
• 9:09
  Speaker 11: like happy how it should be, and like everyone's happily
• 9:12
  Speaker 11: married and has kids now. But I just remember watching
• 9:17
  Speaker 11: that with my mom and we were both like.
• 9:22
  Speaker 7: Like jaw on the floor, totally. Yes, you're so right,
• 9:26
  Speaker 7: So what happened?
• 9:28
  Speaker 10: Yeah, explain for the people who may not recall it
• 9:32
  Speaker 10: as well as we do what happened at the end.
• 9:35
  Speaker 7: Of our season.
• 9:36
  Speaker 11: And I remember I was very invested in this season
• 9:38
  Speaker 11: because I loved Lauren on the show. But then Becca
• 9:42
  Speaker 11: was also from Minnesota, and so I was like, Okay,
• 9:45
  Speaker 11: Minnesota girl, I love her too, So I was like
• 9:48
  Speaker 11: very invested in it. And then he basically he picked Becca,
• 9:53
  Speaker 11: but then decided like later he actually wanted to be
• 9:57
  Speaker 11: with Lauren. After he had proposed to Becca, she had
• 10:00
  Speaker 11: a ring, so then he broke up with her, got
• 10:04
  Speaker 11: back together with Lauren, and then he proposed I think
• 10:06
  Speaker 11: to Lauraa after the final rows, but then Becca became
• 10:09
  Speaker 11: the bachelorette.
• 10:11
  Speaker 10: I mean, it all truly works out as it should,
• 10:15
  Speaker 10: but it was dramatic, like really dramatic, because I think
• 10:21
  Speaker 10: he broke up with Becca on camera, like I remember
• 10:24
  Speaker 10: them sitting on that couch.
• 10:26
  Speaker 7: It might have been at her apartment or something. Yeah,
• 10:29
  Speaker 7: oh my.
• 10:30
  Speaker 10: Gosh, it was and Becca didn't see it coming, yeah
• 10:35
  Speaker 10: at all?
• 10:36
  Speaker 7: Right, I don't think.
• 10:37
  Speaker 11: Yes, I think that happened like three times, hasn't it.
• 10:41
  Speaker 10: Well, Jason Mesnik and Mollie and Melissa Ryecroft. So he
• 10:48
  Speaker 10: ended up with Melissa and then at the after the
• 10:53
  Speaker 10: final rows. He was questioning like, is this relationship right
• 10:57
  Speaker 10: for me? And basically they broke up on stage, and
• 11:02
  Speaker 10: then Molly came out and.
• 11:06
  Speaker 7: I can't remember if he asked her at that point.
• 11:09
  Speaker 10: I don't think he asked her at that moment to
• 11:12
  Speaker 10: start to date, but I think right after the show
• 11:15
  Speaker 10: he was like, would you guys want to would you sorry,
• 11:18
  Speaker 10: would you want to you know, re invest in this relationship,
• 11:24
  Speaker 10: and she went for it, and obviously they're happily married
• 11:27
  Speaker 10: for I don't know, fifteen at.
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: Least years later.
• 11:30
  Speaker 11: So yeah, and then I remember too, and then pilot
• 11:37
  Speaker 11: Pete Peter Weber, he picked or him and Hannah Ann
• 11:41
  Speaker 11: got engaged and then he got and then he they
• 11:45
  Speaker 11: broke up, and then he wanted to be with Maddi Prewett,
• 11:49
  Speaker 11: and then I think they broke up too.
• 11:52
  Speaker 7: Yes, yes, that was that was messy. That was messy.
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: And then of course you throw in his mom and wow,
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: it was like fireworks, like you could not turn away.
• 12:06
  Speaker 10: It was totally a train wreck, you know on stage. Okay,
• 12:11
  Speaker 10: I have to ask the question, are rent free moments
• 12:14
  Speaker 10: like dramatic? Can they be positive moments or is it
• 12:17
  Speaker 10: just like jaw on the floor, like you can't believe
• 12:20
  Speaker 10: it's happening. Moment, funny anything, funny, dramatic, loving, okay, good loving,
• 12:27
  Speaker 10: thank you, that's my keyword, so my rent free moment.
• 12:32
  Speaker 7: I have a couple too.
• 12:34
  Speaker 10: I mean I've watched every season, so I don't know
• 12:36
  Speaker 10: how you can't have a couple, but very clearly they
• 12:42
  Speaker 10: have to be related to my story because that's the
• 12:44
  Speaker 10: most powerful story to me. And I have to say
• 12:50
  Speaker 10: the funny one for me, I'll share both. The funny
• 12:52
  Speaker 10: one for me was we were at the Space Needle
• 12:56
  Speaker 10: in Seattle on our overnight date. Yeah, and we were
• 13:01
  Speaker 10: having dinner at the restaurant up there, and Ryan hadn't
• 13:04
  Speaker 10: watched the show and I'm reading the card from Chris
• 13:07
  Speaker 10: Harrison if you'd like to forego your individual suites and
• 13:10
  Speaker 10: use this key, you know, blah blah blah. He was
• 13:13
  Speaker 10: like check please, and didn't even like I didn't even
• 13:17
  Speaker 10: finish the card.
• 13:17
  Speaker 7: He was like, Okay, that's funny. Here let's go. It
• 13:22
  Speaker 7: was so cute. He was so funny. I love that,
• 13:27
  Speaker 7: and I was.
• 13:28
  Speaker 10: And so many people still comment like if there's ever
• 13:32
  Speaker 10: if I ever post anything about us, there are constantly
• 13:35
  Speaker 10: people who are like, but.
• 13:36
  Speaker 7: Check please comment. I love that. So that was so funny.
• 13:40
  Speaker 10: And then of course the night we got engaged, because
• 13:45
  Speaker 10: and I have to say, from what I understand, I
• 13:48
  Speaker 10: think thirty one million people watched art engagement, which is wow,
• 13:53
  Speaker 10: crazy town numbers crazy, So I know a lot of
• 13:58
  Speaker 10: I would assume a lot of people maybe share this sentiment.
• 14:00
  Speaker 10: But yeah, it was the first time I really told
• 14:04
  Speaker 10: him that I was in love with him.
• 14:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and just.
• 14:08
  Speaker 10: To you know, have it, as Chris Harrison has put
• 14:13
  Speaker 10: it long a long time ago. It was lightning in
• 14:15
  Speaker 10: a bottle like it truly was. It was like, oh wow,
• 14:18
  Speaker 10: like this is this is it. He's my forever.
• 14:21
  Speaker 7: I found him and I was the happiest I've ever
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: been besides birthing my children and at my wedding.
• 14:30
  Speaker 11: I love that.
• 14:31
