• 0:31
  Speaker 1: they picked. I guess, Um, I've never been to Vegas
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: because I just don't party. I'm just like not. I
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: like to get my sleep. Um, I'm in bed by
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: nine pm, So Vegas isn't really like the ideal spot
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: to do that. Yeah, I'm I'm the same. Yeah, I'm
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: an early to bed person. I'm not a huge partier. Yeah,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: I do enjoy like the once a year trip here. Yeah,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: and this event is really fun. So I think you're
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: gonna have a good first experience in Vegas. Gonna need
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: to see some cool stuff. Here's some good music. Uh,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: and you're back and air conditioning because as far as
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: I know, you just got back from I did. Yeah,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: there's no air conditioning, there's a lot of craps. Did
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: you enjoy it, I would say I didn't enjoy it. Well,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: I was there as much as I am so happy
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: for the experience. Now did you go like going into it?
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Were you excited? Um? I was. I was apprehensive going
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: into it. Um. I think because I've been out of
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: this world for like the past three years and kind
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: of just win did my own thing, and I was
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: trying to be off the radar at least um and
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: then entering back into this whole thing was kind of
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: like scary for me. So I was excited, but I
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: was apprehensive. And then there was no cy so I
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: was a little bummed. We talked to Genevieve earlier and
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: she hated, hated the environment down there. I was surprised
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: when I saw that you went to Paradise. Yeah, I
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: was too, because you have kind of, you know, tried
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: to stay in at the radar, do your own thing,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: as you know. Bob Guinny just left us and he
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: mentioned that, you know, Crystuls. Yeah, I didn't know if
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: that was awkward or not. No, no, no, I was
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: okay because like Chris and I are still friends and
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: I adore him. He's so sweet. That was kind of
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: like a was that a pre COVID post COVID during
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: that was during COVID, right during COVID. Oh yeah, we
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: like shacked up together for like three months and I
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: was in Iowa with my dog and it was the
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: whole thing. So what a wild place yourself during COVID.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: It was weird, but it was actually very therapeutic. And
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I didn't really have signal out there and his WiFi
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: as dogs, so I was off my phone for like
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: a couple of months. And that it was so nice
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: because it was right after the show, so I was like,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know, you know how it is after the show.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: It's crazy. So it was just nice to be like
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: in a secluded place. And then that ended. But you
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: guys are still cord you like when Bob broke him up,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: You're like it seemed like it was still good. Yeah,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: we just talked a couple of weeks ago, actually called
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: me um and we just caught up randomly and yeah,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: like we talked every now and then. He's just he's
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: a really good person. Yeah, he's a great dude. He's
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: one of my closest friends from the show. He's so sweet.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: He's a sweet dude. He just lives in the middle
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: of nowhere. Yeah he does. But is he the only
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: relationship that you like, any only person you've dated between
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: your time on the show and Paradise? Um, No, I've
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: definitely dated that. He was probably my more serious relationship.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: And then I had a boyfriend after him for about
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: a year. Um, and then I dated people on and off.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I was in a relationship for a year,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: and you kind of kept it quiet, very quiet under wraps.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Don't like talking about it now because it was so
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: like it was nice to have it be um like,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: kind of like a little secret, you know, and just
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: kind of explore that without other people having their input
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: on it. So then that brings us to what I
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: was talking about earlier. I was surprised to see you
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: go in Paradise. I was surprised for you to say
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: yes to it too. Why did you like? What was
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the final push for you say this is something I
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: want to do again. So I think for me, it's
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: like it hasn't really worked out for me. I'm obviously
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: not hitting the lottery at this point, and I am
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: twenty years old. I do want to settle down. I
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: do want to get engaged and be married and have
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: kids and all the things. Um So that was really
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: my push to do it. And also too, there was
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: like I had they didn't tell me who was going,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: but they said that. Producers were like, there's somebody there
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: that you're really gonna like, and we and we know that,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: and so I was like, huh, okay, you sure it
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: wouldn't give me a name. They just dress us and
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I was like, okay, you know who that is now,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I do who they thought, Yeah, it's interesting, so we
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: can do you talk about that? Like, is that something
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: that will be able to notice when you watch this
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: show now? Is this was the person that you thought
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: or they thought would be a good match for you. Yeah,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I think it's pretty apparent within the first two four hours.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Did you go down there with somebody in mind? Not really,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: just because I was pretty open to everything and I've
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: again been out of this world forever, so I didn't
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: really watch like many seasons, um So there wasn't any
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: anybody in particular that I was like, Okay, I need
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: to see this person. I was kind of just open
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: to whoever but I think lesson was with you. You You
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: brought it up. You have like boxes or things that
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: you know you want in a partner, Um, remind me
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: what are those things? So yeah, I think specifically I
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: wanted somebody who was I mean, is it changes daily
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: to be honest with you, But I think at this
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: point I want somebody who can love me well. Um,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: because before I was running into like relationships where I
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: felt like I was giving more than the person was
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: giving to me. And um, that was just like my
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: main book that I wanted to check off was more
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: so like can my future partner like meet me at
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: the same level. I didn't want to keep feeling like
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I was pouring into somebody and not receiving the same
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: love back. So that's just the only box really, And
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: like I would, I did say, like, you know, I
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: hope he like has a job, but there's that that
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: would be nice, But he does. It's fine. Not everybody
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: on the show does a bad question to ask you
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: on the beaches do you do you have insurance of
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: any kind? Any kind? Yeah? Do your own property? Close
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: up here. I think it's really interesting not only the
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: romantic relationship, with the friendships that come from Paradise, and
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: it's one of the reasons. Obviously, now I'm disqualified from
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: going on Paradise, but it was one of the reasons why.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I really at some point during my time post Batch,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: it was envious to the people that went because they
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: got to know so many different people. They became very supportive,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: they had friendships, where when I was the Bachelor, I
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: kind of came off the show and I had a
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: few friends. But you're secluded. You're secluded, you don't get
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: to meet a lot of people, which is why it's
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: cool to see Rachel here with us, because this feels
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: like a really good environment for her to meet new
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: people and know that she's not alone in this experience,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: especially right after what she's gone through. Yeah, for sure. Yeah,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: it's a whirlwind. So for you, you met some good
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: friends on the beach friends, tell us about that. Yeah.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: I think Paradise is so cool because it's not like
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: as serious as the Bachelor, Bachelorette um, so you're able
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: to really like open up and be yourself with like
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: multiple people. And like somebody asked me the other day,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: was there anybody that you didn't like in particular? And
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: I literally can't name one person on the beach I
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: didn't like, like, I love every single person that came
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: down there. I think that they all had their like
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: their things, and I just yeah, I loved everyone, and
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I've had with everybody, so it's cool, and I have
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: friends forever. Like something saying about you, because I feel
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: like we watched Paradise and there's always conflict, but you
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: feel like when you looked around the beach, even the
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: people that were having conflict amongst each other, You're like,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I like that person. I like that person. Yeah, yeah, no,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: and and I can see both sides to like where
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: they would be arguing. Um. I think what's cool about
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: our season little teaser versus past seasons is that there
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: was less drama amongst everybody and more drama within like relationships.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: So everyone was like kind of a cohesive unit. Um
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: we called us. We called ourselves the Paradise High like
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: go Crabs, that's our mascot um. But yeah, we all
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: just got along really well. And even if there was trauma,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know, everyone was just still like really great friends.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it was fun. It was a great experience. Well,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: I was able to talk to Genevieve earlier, and she
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: she like adores you, cares about you, loves you. I
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: can tell that she is really excited to see you
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: because she hadn't seen you yet. I don't think when
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I was talking to her, um, but she'd brought up
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: to me that, you know, she went into Paradise thinking
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: she wasn't gonna like you. UM, that you had a
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: hard exterior. Why is that how people see you? Do you?
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Do you feel that about yourself? I mean you're shyre.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: You said like you said you want to kind of
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: like sneak back into the king. But why why do
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: you think that was what she thought of you going
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: into And then when she meets you, she's like, I
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: love this person. I think like people have a misconception
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: of me from Peter's season, and a lot of Peter's
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: season was me being twenty five not knowing who I was,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: and then like hello, three years of therapy later, it's like, Hi,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: I'm a new person. I'm still the same bitch, but
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: like I'm a different human in general. Um. And I
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: think that people maybe saw this like one side of
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: me and they didn't really get to know like me
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: for who I am, and I actually have had multiple
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: people tell me that it's like, Oh, when they get
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: to know me, they're like, wait, you like, don't suck
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: my thanks, that's the best compen Like yeah, So Jenevieve
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: and I became extremely close. I look at her as
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: like a little sister, so I love her. Well, it's
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: h it's specialisty. It's fun to watch. You can't wait
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: to hang out with you in Vegas. Final question for you, Um,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: what can people most look forward um to watching of
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: you are in Paradise but also maybe just in life,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: like give people a teaser to your life into Paradise. Okay,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: So for Paradise, I think people are going to be
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: so I don't know. Maybe I don't know how they
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: cut it, but um, maybe just seeing more of like
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: my fun side. I don't know. Um, And then I
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: would say Paradise in general, it's going like everyone said, oh,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: it's going to be the craziest season. I really because
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: literally is the craziest season. Like I'm just saying that
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: it's insane and it's wild to have a friend seat
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: and watch it when you're there, like because I just
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: know everything that unfolded, but I'm so excited to watch
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: it back because I feel like I'm going to be
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: giddy being like, oh my god, so yeah, No, it's
• 10:45
