0:26
Speaker 1: tell me the scoop. Tell me who was there? Who
0:28
Speaker 1: would you like? Who did you not like? And he
0:30
Speaker 1: said that you are a doll. He did, Oh yeah, really,
0:35
Speaker 1: I promise you on the notes. No, that's like a
0:38
Speaker 1: real story. No. I loved Bells like. I was also
0:42
Speaker 1: like always the center of all of his stories and
0:44
Speaker 1: my facial expressions. He told me like, I need you
0:46
Speaker 1: in the middle of my stories because your facial expressions
0:49
Speaker 1: are everything because I'm just like my face was crazy.
0:52
Speaker 1: But he's so great. That makes me happy that he
0:55
Speaker 1: said that he's really great. I will be his biggest
0:57
Speaker 1: supporter forever and ever. And I barely know him, but
1:01
Speaker 1: he's amazing. My dream one day is for him to
1:03
Speaker 1: be the host of Paradise and for me to be
1:04
Speaker 1: the bartender just so I get to watch him do
1:07
Speaker 1: his thing. I would love that. But you want to
1:09
Speaker 1: be the bartender? Yeah, I think we need to host.
1:13
Speaker 1: I think everyone thinks that. Yeah, he's really good. Okay,
1:15
Speaker 1: so you just said he told stories. How does this
1:17
Speaker 1: story time work in Paradise? Because I'm no, we're not
1:19
Speaker 1: going to get them all on television. What goes on
1:21
Speaker 1: behind the scenes? Um, so, Wells, we'll just say it's
1:25
Speaker 1: Wells story time and then we all gather around the
1:28
Speaker 1: bar and we'll we'll tell something crazy, and it's always
1:31
Speaker 1: something crazy. I'll tell you that about what's happening on
1:34
Speaker 1: the season, or about his life, No, not about his life,
1:36
Speaker 1: about like people that are about to come into Paradise.
1:41
Speaker 1: He's telling stories about people that are about to walk
1:44
Speaker 1: down the stairs, and we all know that. Does he
1:47
Speaker 1: tell you the name of the person or it's on
1:50
Speaker 1: a suitcase? Really it's on a suitcase. So does this
1:54
Speaker 1: prep you to be interested in the person walking down
1:57
Speaker 1: the series? Or are they always stories that make you
1:59
Speaker 1: go I would never date that. So this is not
2:01
Speaker 1: this story, but like it was not something that would
2:05
Speaker 1: make you want to date this person. Unfortunately, she's a
2:07
Speaker 1: great girl. But this story that was told is pretty bad,
2:11
Speaker 1: I got to say, and everyone heard it, and then
2:14
Speaker 1: once she came down, I mean, it's kind of tough
2:16
Speaker 1: once everyone heard that story about you to kind of
2:18
Speaker 1: just forget about it and continue. So, yeah, she was
2:22
Speaker 1: gone in an hour, So we get to look forward
2:25
Speaker 1: to that during the season. Yes, I'm gonna be tuned
2:28
Speaker 1: in for that. Well, you're a bartender to yourself. As
2:30
Speaker 1: we talked about wells here, did you give any tips?
2:32
Speaker 1: I didn't. I think Wolves knows better than me, so
2:35
Speaker 1: I just let he's not a great bartender. I love
2:39
Speaker 1: that man, but he's not awesome at making drinks. I've
2:43
Speaker 1: had his drinks. He's good and he does he has
2:45
Speaker 1: a bartender by license. It's the shows that he has
2:49
Speaker 1: on a good show. Yeah, but his drinks are not
2:52
Speaker 1: like top of a line, I would agree. Alright, So, Genevieve,
2:56
Speaker 1: you are back from Paradise. We have a lot to
2:59
Speaker 1: catch up on your life, not only from Paradise but
3:01
Speaker 1: from the season that you were on The Bachelor, because
3:05
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things said, a lot of arguments
3:08
Speaker 1: had that we didn't get clarity on. But to start
3:11
Speaker 1: let's talk about Paradise. Um, as you say here today,
3:13
Speaker 1: are you glad you went? Oh? Gosh, okay. I went
3:18
Speaker 1: to Paradise with the hope that I would find my
3:21
Speaker 1: person and get engaged. Um, so I wouldn't say that
3:24
Speaker 1: I regret going, because I really went there with a purpose.
3:27
Speaker 1: But um, after how it went, I guess it's I
3:33
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know if I would do it again,
3:35
Speaker 1: I will put it that way. I hear it's fun it.
3:39
Speaker 1: Um who told you that? Ben Ashley, my co host,
3:43
Speaker 1: typically loved great. But you can say she's crazy. No,
3:48
Speaker 1: not in general crying I'm going to be the one crying. Yeah,
3:53
Speaker 1: it was. It was tough. It's just hot. It's not
3:55
Speaker 1: much sleep in like you're just very drained. Yeah, she
3:58
Speaker 1: did say the sleeping conditions, they're tough. Um bugs, snakes,
4:04
Speaker 1: snakes room, there's monkey. There's these they called Mexican raccoons
4:09
Speaker 1: and they come into your room at night and they
4:11
Speaker 1: dig through your stuff. And so we had one of
4:13
Speaker 1: those dick through Victoria's stuff and like take her bubble gum,
4:15
Speaker 1: take her like food. It was weird. He came three nights.
4:18
Speaker 1: He pete on our couch. Swear it was so messed up.
4:22
Speaker 1: And then we were just like worried, like when is
4:24
Speaker 1: he going to show up? When we went to bed?
4:26
Speaker 1: But do you not have doors? We don't have doors.
4:28
Speaker 1: There's no doors, and it's all it's all like open,
4:32
Speaker 1: there's no windows, there's no a c and it's just
4:36
Speaker 1: open to the ocean and bugs flying in. It's this
4:41
Speaker 1: not cool. And then you're trying to date. You're trying
4:43
Speaker 1: to date. You're trying to date while being like so
4:46
Speaker 1: hot and sweaty and being so tired. It's almost impossible.
4:51
Speaker 1: I've never been able to ask this then, but this
4:53
Speaker 1: brings it up. I watched the show and people are
4:56
Speaker 1: like cuddling on the couches or let's say you're in
4:59
Speaker 1: a relationship hip and you hook up, right, you're rolling
5:02
Speaker 1: around the sheets. How are they doing that comfortably? So
5:09
Speaker 1: no one went to the boom, no, no, no one.
5:12
Speaker 1: But the air conditioned right it is. And so that's
5:14
Speaker 1: why I went to Todd and I was like, Todd,
5:16
Speaker 1: I just really need some sleep, and he's like no,
5:19
Speaker 1: But I didn't want to go there with the guy
5:21
Speaker 1: I was with, because like I wanted to go just
5:23
Speaker 1: to cuddle and have a C. But at the same time,
5:26
Speaker 1: I was like, I didn't want them to make it
5:27
Speaker 1: into something It wasn't like I truly just wanted to
5:29
Speaker 1: like be a a C for ones and like cuddle
5:32
Speaker 1: with a guy liked. But I think that it will
5:35
Speaker 1: turn into something more if you were to do that.
5:37
Speaker 1: So everyone is every no one. Everybody was just kind
5:41
Speaker 1: of staying on the beach. Okay, So how are you
5:43
Speaker 1: laying in the cabanas and not just dripping on each other,
5:46
Speaker 1: dripping like sweat. You haven't bet to Paradise, Yeah, you're
5:53
Speaker 1: dripping sweat. It's like you can't even like kiss someone
5:56
Speaker 1: for too long without feeling like to like heated that
5:58
Speaker 1: you need. It's it's tough. It sounds tough, but I
6:02
Speaker 1: sound like I'm just complaining. But well, you're here today
6:06
Speaker 1: and beautiful Las Vegas with me, so you made it
6:08
Speaker 1: through it. Um, there are some storylines that I want
6:12
Speaker 1: to tap into. Uh, you know, Cheney is obviously a
6:16
Speaker 1: name you're gonna be asked a lot about. Um, did
6:19
Speaker 1: you have any ideas you would be there? When you
6:21
Speaker 1: said yes, I, Um, I was almost positive would be there,
6:26
Speaker 1: just because I know a lot of people were hoping
6:28
Speaker 1: she wouldn't be there, but honestly, um, she brought a
6:32
Speaker 1: lot to the show, and I knew she would be there,
6:35
Speaker 1: and I was just hoping for the best with it. Honestly,
6:37
Speaker 1: I didn't want any drama like the first time around.
6:50
Speaker 1: So you know, oftentimes in Paradise, we see redemption stories,
6:53
Speaker 1: we see things change. Are you in Chanel on better
6:56
Speaker 1: terms today? So, um, I'm sure or everyone will be shocked.
7:01
Speaker 1: But I went into Paradise with honestly not high hopes
7:05
Speaker 1: that she was going to come in and apologize and
7:07
Speaker 1: kind of like just focus on herself. UM. So that's
7:10
Speaker 1: what I was expecting. But when she came in, she
7:13
Speaker 1: really was just focused on herself and her relationships. She
7:16
Speaker 1: didn't step on anyone's toes, she didn't try and mess
7:19
Speaker 1: with anyone. Um. And we actually had to sit down
7:21
Speaker 1: conversation and we both apologize to each other for like
7:24
Speaker 1: whatever we said, and I felt it was genuine before
7:28
Speaker 1: That's all I said before Paradise. I just want to
7:30
Speaker 1: feel like she's genuinely apologizing and I don't want to
7:34
Speaker 1: hold a grudge. I want to move on, And so
7:37
Speaker 1: luckily we got to do that. We really did move
7:39
Speaker 1: on and like, I became very close with her. How
7:42
Speaker 1: does that feel for you? It feels good. But also
7:46
Speaker 1: at the same time, I'm a little worried because of
7:48
Speaker 1: what every like everything that happened on Clayton's season. I
7:52
Speaker 1: don't want people to associate me with everything negative that
7:56
Speaker 1: has been said about say, if that makes sense, Like,
7:58
Speaker 1: I don't want to be because she was, you know,
8:01
Speaker 1: talking about Elizabeth's a d h D. I don't want
8:03
Speaker 1: to be associated with that. But at the same time,
8:05
Speaker 1: she really came in and tried her best and like
8:09
Speaker 1: and redeemed herself, So I believe it's right to give
8:13
Speaker 1: her a second chance. Well, I think that's very right
8:17
Speaker 1: of you. And it's awesome times what we see in Paradise.
8:21
Speaker 1: People say things and they mess up during their time
8:24
Speaker 1: on the show, and then they come on Paradise and
8:26
Speaker 1: they either apologize or they've worked on themselves. And how
8:29
Speaker 1: cool is it when you see somebody with and then
8:31
Speaker 1: in the last eight months to a year of their life,
8:35
Speaker 1: you know, work on themselves and grow to where we
8:37
Speaker 1: see them again on Paradise and they're maybe not a
8:39
Speaker 1: different person, but they're a better person. Is that what
8:41
Speaker 1: you want? In life to get better, of course. And
8:44
Speaker 1: that's the thing. Like I even talked to on Um
8:48
Speaker 1: on Paradise. She was like, I got so much hate.
8:50
Speaker 1: She was like, I just like, I want to be
8:52
Speaker 1: myself and I want to show people the real Nay,
8:55
Speaker 1: And I think she did that. Like I don't know
8:58
Speaker 1: what happened the first season, you know, there's so much
9:00
Speaker 1: manipulation and all that, but she really did come in
9:03
Speaker 1: and apologize and like not she did not want to
9:06
Speaker 1: mess with anyone. She really did focus on herself and
9:08
Speaker 1: who she liked and all that. She she wasn't worried
9:11
Speaker 1: about anyone else, and that's all I wanted. It was
9:13
Speaker 1: an apology in like a genuine conversation, and we had
9:17
Speaker 1: that and it's great. Ah, that's beautiful. Well, I'm excited
9:20
Speaker 1: to watch that play out. And I know I am too,
9:23
Speaker 1: kind of because it's crazy. I don't think anyone's expecting it. No,
9:26
Speaker 1: I see two adults sit down and say, I know
9:28
Speaker 1: this has been hard, I know this has been weird.
9:30
Speaker 1: I know we've heard each other in the process of this.
9:32
Speaker 1: Let's grow and get better. That's good television to me,
9:36
Speaker 1: It's good. That's what I'm saying, then we're just like, yeah,
9:38
Speaker 1: we both like, we both apologize and we're just like,
9:41
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Because we got along very well the first
9:44
Speaker 1: few days in the mansion, and then all that stuff
9:45
Speaker 1: happened and I felt like I had a stick up
9:47
Speaker 1: for Elizabeth against her. But yeah, no, we got along
9:52
Speaker 1: very well in Paradise. We definitely become close. All right,
9:55
Speaker 1: let's talk about your life in between your time on
9:57
Speaker 1: The Bachelor now and Paradise. Were you dating, What did
10:01
Speaker 1: life look like? Were you out and about so in
10:06
Speaker 1: between Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise, I was it was
10:11
Speaker 1: tough for me. I was going to therapy a lot.
10:13
Speaker 1: Not gonna lie like. I never was into therapy before,
10:16
Speaker 1: but I was like, I need therapy. So I was
10:18
Speaker 1: kind of laying low honestly, Um, just trying to get
10:21
Speaker 1: through it. I dated a little bit. Um. I'm very picky.
10:26
Speaker 1: I like to meet people in person. Um. And I
10:29
Speaker 1: also am not someone to go out often, so I
10:31
Speaker 1: don't really like I don't meet people often. UM, but
10:36
Speaker 1: I was I was trying to kind of like get
10:38
Speaker 1: back into the swing of things. But I didn't feel
10:41
Speaker 1: right going on dates. I just felt like I needed
10:43
Speaker 1: to kind of like lay low until this season kind
10:47
Speaker 1: of aired because it's so stressful. I'm sure you know,
10:49
Speaker 1: like it's it's just stressful when the season is airing.
10:52
Speaker 1: I don't think I answered your question. I'm sorry, No
10:54
Speaker 1: you did. Yeah, so you're out trying to date. You
10:57
Speaker 1: don't go out a lot. Did you find it easier
11:01
Speaker 1: or harder to meet people after they knew you were
11:03
Speaker 1: on the Bachelor? Um, that's a good question. I feel
11:07
Speaker 1: like it's harder because you don't know if they're into
11:10
Speaker 1: you because of you or because they know you're on
11:12
Speaker 1: the Bachelor. Not that it's like a big thing, but
11:14
Speaker 1: some people think it is. You know, some people are
11:17
Speaker 1: crazy and so Um. I think it was more difficult,
11:21
Speaker 1: especially now, or especially between Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise. Um,
11:27
Speaker 1: I don't know what people thought. It was heartbook and
11:29
Speaker 1: I didn't want people to have the wrong idea of
11:31
Speaker 1: me if I were going on dates and all this stuff. Um,
11:34
Speaker 1: but I tried. I tried, and I just it wasn't
11:38
Speaker 1: anyone for me. Is that why you said yes the
11:40
Speaker 1: Paradise because you felt like it was an opportunity? Yeah?
11:42
Speaker 1: For sure. I was so hesitant and I did not
11:46
Speaker 1: want to do it, but when I like, I know
11:49
Speaker 1: that it works. I've seen like we've all seen it.
11:52
Speaker 1: Um people are still together from it. And so I
11:55
Speaker 1: truly just want to find my person and have a family,
11:58
Speaker 1: like I want to have kids like right now, and
12:00
Speaker 1: so I was just going there hoping I would find
12:02
Speaker 1: someone that I could have that with. Basically it works
12:06
Speaker 1: sometimes it does work sometimes. My co host here that's
12:10
Speaker 1: usually sitting right beside me, Ashley, who you guys would
12:13
Speaker 1: get along great. I can tell that you guys are
12:16
Speaker 1: very similar personalities. You mentioned that you are a crier,
12:21
Speaker 1: your emotional So are we gonna see Ashley, I can
12:25
Speaker 1: Eddie type tears, yes, maybe not, Like, yeah, you're going
12:33
Speaker 1: to see a lot of tears. Like the first few weeks,
12:35
Speaker 1: I couldn't even control myself, Like I was just sobbing.
12:38
Speaker 1: I'm so tired of so hot, and I just was
12:40
Speaker 1: like crying every day. And then after the few weeks,
12:43
Speaker 1: the two weeks, I think I got kind of numb.
12:45
Speaker 1: It was weird. I got kind of numb and I
12:47
Speaker 1: just had no emotions. It is very strange. But for
12:49
Speaker 1: the first two weeks, you're going to see nothing about
12:51
Speaker 1: me crying unfortunately due to like due to your discomfort,
12:55
Speaker 1: due to my discomfort in like how tired I was
12:58
Speaker 1: and how hot it was. Just also like the fact
13:01
Speaker 1: that I didn't have one guy that was there for
13:03
Speaker 1: just me, and that's hard for me. Obviously, I think
13:07
Speaker 1: it's hard for everyone, but you know I'd go on
13:09
Speaker 1: the show to not have that. Well, I got to
13:13
Speaker 1: deal with it. Speaking of guys, there was something my
13:16
Speaker 1: notes here and I had kind of forgotten and you
13:18
Speaker 1: brought it to my you kind of like mention it,
13:21
Speaker 1: but I was gonna wait for you to explain the
13:22
Speaker 1: whole thing and remind us all of what happened here. Um,
13:26
Speaker 1: there's notes here to ask about the truth behind you
13:28
Speaker 1: and Aaron Clancy, And so if you don't mind refreshing
13:31
Speaker 1: our memories of what that story was, and then we
13:34
Speaker 1: can get into was it true, was it false? Is
13:37
Speaker 1: it true? As it false? Com Um? So women tell
13:40
Speaker 1: all we um most of the women from Clayton season
13:44
Speaker 1: were there, and I was in the hot seat with
13:46
Speaker 1: Nay and Um, she and I were just having a
13:50
Speaker 1: conversation and then I think like she just didn't really
13:52
Speaker 1: know what to say, and she said, well, I went
13:55
Speaker 1: home and I was sick and I was all, this,
13:58
Speaker 1: but you went't Aaron Clancy, and she also said this
14:02
Speaker 1: wasn't in it, but she said, and you Matt the bartender.
14:05
Speaker 1: I can't. That's why I was so shocked. Who's a
14:08
Speaker 1: bartender in Toronto that was married? I never even was
14:12
Speaker 1: like it was just so That's why I was so shot.
14:14
Speaker 1: I was like, you're saying this, he's married, and like,
14:16
Speaker 1: please don't like no, um, so she said that, and
14:20
Speaker 1: I mean I denied it because it is not true,
14:24
Speaker 1: and people really believed it. A lot of people were like, Oh,
14:27
Speaker 1: they're going on to just stay and all this stuff,
14:30
Speaker 1: and I'm like, it just sucks because that is not
14:33
Speaker 1: the case at all. And I hope that when people
14:36
Speaker 1: watch this they don't think that is the case. But
14:38
Speaker 1: also Jani during our conversation, she did admit to kind
14:43
Speaker 1: of just saying that, to just saying that I hooked
14:46
Speaker 1: up with him because she didn't know what else to say.
14:48
Speaker 1: So that is hopefully that is on camera and hopefully
14:50
Speaker 1: they'll show that because I don't want it to be
14:52
Speaker 1: like I was talking to this person. I was making
14:55
Speaker 1: a plan, trying to get on paradise and make it
14:57
Speaker 1: far like it wasn't like that at all. How did
14:59
Speaker 1: his name become the one that she used? Were you
15:01
Speaker 1: guys talking or um? So I had met him at
15:05
Speaker 1: a bar um um, I want to say before Clayton season,
15:11
Speaker 1: like right before Clayton season, and just like introduced myself
15:15
Speaker 1: and said hi, I'm Genevius, like I'm Aaron, and like
15:17
Speaker 1: that was it. I posted a photo. I posted a
15:20
Speaker 1: photo of me and him, silly of me, but that's
15:23
Speaker 1: what she took and she said, okay, they were together.
15:26
Speaker 1: They I think she just took that and ran with
15:28
Speaker 1: it and said, okay, they must have hooked up. Um.
15:30
Speaker 1: But that that's all there was. I was. I met
15:33
Speaker 1: him at a bar and then I was at like
15:35
Speaker 1: um after the final rose with him. But that's that's
15:38
Speaker 1: all the rest to it. Okay. So we can be
15:40
Speaker 1: excited about getting more clarity around this situation. For sure,
15:44
Speaker 1: there will be. I'm I'm hoping there will be clarity
15:47
Speaker 1: because it was talked about on Paradise and I'm just hope.
15:50
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that it will show because I don't think
15:53
Speaker 1: I deserve that and it really wasn't anything. Well, speaking
16:07
Speaker 1: of guys, then you've mentioned to me already that you
16:10
Speaker 1: went down to Paradise excited to try to meet somebody.
16:13
Speaker 1: If we could flash back to Genevieve six months ago,
16:18
Speaker 1: who were you most excited about seeing? Okay, um, I'm
16:25
Speaker 1: just asking for three names. You don't need to give
16:27
Speaker 1: me eight that's in your journal. Just three, okay, okay, Um.
16:33
Speaker 1: I was excited to see Justin Glaze. I've been saying this.
16:36
Speaker 1: I never met him. I just know good at my
16:40
Speaker 1: a good amount when my friends are friends with him.
16:42
Speaker 1: So I've heard good things and I thought it was
16:44
Speaker 1: very handsome, and um, yeah, I was very excited to
16:49
Speaker 1: meet him. There really wasn't anyone else on my list.
16:51
Speaker 1: I just I am big in personalities. If you're so attractive,
16:55
Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter if I meet you and I
16:57
Speaker 1: don't feel a connection with you. So I really feel
16:59
Speaker 1: like I needed to meet everyone to be able to
17:00
Speaker 1: make that decision. Okay, So Justin was number one in
17:04
Speaker 1: the list. Now were you open to meeting other people?
17:09
Speaker 1: The first day before Justin walked down, all I wanted
17:13
Speaker 1: us to talk to Justin. Um, and so that that
17:16
Speaker 1: was a downfall of mine. I didn't even try and
17:18
Speaker 1: talk to anyone else because I was stuck on Justin
17:21
Speaker 1: even though I didn't really even know him. So I
17:25
Speaker 1: do kind of regret that. But it didn't I mean,
17:28
Speaker 1: it didn't last too long. It wasn't like it took
17:30
Speaker 1: up a lot of my time, But um, I did.
17:32
Speaker 1: I was very excited to meet him, and yeah, I
17:36
Speaker 1: didn't turn out the way I wanted it to. So
17:40
Speaker 1: many teasers this season, Genevieve, I, I'm very excited to
17:45
Speaker 1: watch you on our screens and get to see more
17:47
Speaker 1: of you. I feel like you're telling me Paradise wasn't
17:52
Speaker 1: necessarily easy on you. Um, I'm excited to watch it
17:56
Speaker 1: not be easy on you. Oh, thank you, Ben. I'm
17:59
Speaker 1: excited excited to see the bugs and the sweat and
18:03
Speaker 1: the raccoons, and you know, I hope they show that
18:06
Speaker 1: will better from the comfort of my couch. Are stuff
18:11
Speaker 1: heat on the couch? Yeah, I mean it's so. I'm
18:13
Speaker 1: so glad you're excited. I love these stories because people
18:16
Speaker 1: watch this and there. This is glamorous, this is paradise.
18:19
Speaker 1: These are people that are signing up to go to
18:22
Speaker 1: a beach in Mexico. Oh no, no, yeah, it's not vacation.
18:28
Speaker 1: It was like, I feel like this is summer Camp
18:30
Speaker 1: but worse. I there's no there's no a c there's
18:35
Speaker 1: there's bugs everywhere. It just yeah, I feel like summer Camp,
18:38
Speaker 1: but way worse. Yeah. And this year was extra hot.
18:40
Speaker 1: According to Wells, it was hotter than you that. It
18:43
Speaker 1: was so hot I couldn't It was weird, like during
18:46
Speaker 1: the day it would be okay some days, and then
18:48
Speaker 1: at night so humid you couldn't even go outside without
18:51
Speaker 1: like throwing your hair up. So rosast ceremonies are rough
18:54
Speaker 1: for me. I'll say that it's one of my favorite
18:56
Speaker 1: parts is seeing the men standing there and they're like
18:59
Speaker 1: linen shirts are now a different color, and then like
19:02
Speaker 1: and seeing they're like the girl that's on their arm,
19:05
Speaker 1: have their arm around them, and just knowing that it's
19:07
Speaker 1: just dripping, like they're just dripping. I mean, I love
19:10
Speaker 1: my wife, but if I was soaked in sweat, I
19:13
Speaker 1: don't think she's like putting her arm around me and
19:16
Speaker 1: just resting it on my shoulders. I think she's like,
19:18
Speaker 1: you need to go, you need to go clean. Uh. Well, Genevieve,
19:22
Speaker 1: as we close out here, if you were to sell
19:26
Speaker 1: this season to the people listening, what would you say?
19:32
Speaker 1: What can we look forward to? Why should we watch?
19:35
Speaker 1: You can look forward to honestly, just the unexpected. I
19:42
Speaker 1: I can't stress that enough. Every day that I woke up,
19:45
Speaker 1: I would be wondering what would happen, and it was
19:47
Speaker 1: always something. So every day there's gonna be something new
19:51
Speaker 1: to keep you interested. Um and you're gonna see us
19:54
Speaker 1: being very emotional, and I know that's interesting to a
19:57

Speaker 1: see the initial cast and like where we were at
20:09
Speaker 1: the end and how much it changed. It's it's very
20:12
