• 0:32
  Speaker 1: But is everyone Mormon on the show, because I know
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: that's the silly question, being that it's Mormon wise, but
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: everyone is Mormon correct.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: Everyone has a Mormon upbringing or has had some tie
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: within the church, but not everyone's still active.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Ah. Interesting. So that's why I'm surprised there's so much
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: drama because all the Mormon people that I've met very nice.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: No low drama, Yeah, not the case here?
• 0:54

• 1:04
  Speaker 1: boyfriend this season?

• 1:09
  Speaker 1: the Mormon church when you were in high school?
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: I My dad was not super supportive of the church
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: for pretty valid reasons, but I just wasn't aware of them,
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: and it was just something that I really wanted for
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: myself at that point in my life. Everyone I knew
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: was Mormon was very normal to be Lds where I
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: grew up, and I felt like that's what was, you know,
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: the right way to live life.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: And I was like, Okay, well.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: If I can't do it, then I'm just gonna secretly
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: sneak it. And yeah, I got baptized with my mom's
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: consent because like one parent has to sign off on it,
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: and then I would just sneak to church on Sundays,
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: which is always really funny.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: You gotta do what's best for you. What do you
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: think are the biggest myths about Mormonism?
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: M that we don't churn butter, we don't wear bonnets.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: That were like fun.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, there's definitely some weird things with them the church,
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: for sure, but we're fun.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: We can have fun.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: You don't drink though, right, No.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: We're not sopposed to do, but I do.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, those are jack Mormons. I think they go and
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: have you left the church, you're still with it?
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: I still have my records in the church.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: To formally leave the church, you have to submit a
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: letter to like the higher ups and stay your reason
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: why you're leaving.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: And I just don't want to do all of that.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: But I haven't been to church in probably like seven
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: or eight months, so I'm not active anymore.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Yet, got it. So it's a whole thing. And you
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: have kids, right what you have children?
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I have two boys, two boys, four and three.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, okay, yeah, that's a handful, right there? Are
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: they are they? Are they in the show as well?
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Or no?
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: So me and their dad decided before we even picked
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: up for season one to filming that we were just
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: going to kind of keep them out of this. I
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: stopped showing them on my social media to a couple
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: of months back. I think it's totally personal because I
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: know some of the women on the show do show
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: their kids.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: I just this world's kind of.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Scary and if I want to be a part of it,
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: but the mean that they have to be, so I'm
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: just trying to protect them.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, good for you. Good for you. And then
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: is this your first season or have you been on
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the show?
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: No? I since season one, I've been.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Since season one, And are there little allegiances formed or
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: is everybody cool with each other or that's why there's.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: No I think everyone's relatively good right now.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: I think the only person that's like on the outs
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: that like, I feel like, collectively as the whole, all
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: of us women could agree it is probably to me.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: But I think everyone, to my knowledge is good at
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: the moment. Yeah, except for.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Her and she And which one is that one?
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Demi is the.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: One that's married to Brett. She was the one that
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: was like the vander pump Villa drama.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Oh got it? Okay? God? And then there isn't there
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: one that is a bachelorette right now?
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Yes? Taylor?
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Taylor, So she's abouts right, and she's got kids too, right.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Yes, she has three threies.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, three babes. Oh you're asking the bachelor to take
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: on a lot right there? Yeah, I know that's a
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: package deal right there.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Boy?
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Okay, is everybody married? Ye?
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Everyone but me? Miranda and Taylor.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Oh you're no longer married?
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah? No. So I got divorced in season one.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: I was in the process of my divorce that wasn't
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: shown on the show, but got it throughout season one.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: I was going through my divorce and just recently got
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: it finalized.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: In May of this year. Congratulations, finally officially divorced.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: But yeah, okay, you happy?
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, it we and him we got married
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: before or we got pregnant before we were married, so
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: we felt like, especially in the church, it's you're not
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: supposed to have sex before you're married. So we were like, hey,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: we messed up one of the steps. Let's at least
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: do something right and get married. Looking back, we probably
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: just should have just stayed dating or maybe got engaged.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean I got my second baby out
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: of it, which my babies are.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: My biggest blessing, so it happened for a reason.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: But yeah, it's hard when you're young. I'm trying to
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: figure all that stuff out exactly, But overall you're having
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: a good time with the show.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No, this is such a surreal experience.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: I never thought this would be my life and sharing it,
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: and it's hard. There's definitely downsides to it. People say
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: comments all the time and comment on your looks and
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: your personality, and they're only seeing such small snippets of
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: things as well, so it's kind of hard when people
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: make very big judgments off of very little, but overall,
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: I'm able to give my kids an amazing life, and
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: I work with my best friends and I want to
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: change it for the world.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: That's good. Yeah, ignore those haters, that's all they got
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: time for, right And as far as the holidays, you
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: got plans this year for Thanksgiving for Christmas?
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I'm gonna be spending it with Mason,
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: my boyfriend, and his family, so I think that'll be fun.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Oh, things are good? Then things are you found back quick?
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: There? Le nice? No marriage though anytime soon? All right?
