- 0:07Speaker 2: and such.
- 0:09Speaker 3: Well, walking my dog has become different. You know, all
- 0:11Speaker 3: my neighbors see me and they'll come out and say, Hi,
- 0:15Speaker 3: just want to know all the tea, all of the
- 0:17Speaker 3: behind the scenes stuff. It's funny, we do too, Yeah,
- 0:21Speaker 3: but it's really like a whirlwind.
- 0:22Speaker 4: You know.
- 0:22Speaker 3: You take a couple of days to just decompress and
- 0:25Speaker 3: get back into, you know, your normal headspace, and you
- 0:28Speaker 3: try to just take it day by day honestly.
- 0:31Speaker 1: Now, do you have your own place here or are
- 0:34Speaker 1: you sleeping in your bedroom at your parents' house?
- 0:36Speaker 5: I have my own apartment in Waltham with my roommate.
- 0:39Speaker 2: Yeah, don't give out the address, Gods do that.
- 0:42Speaker 5: But it's been nice and I do. I go.
- 0:44Speaker 3: It's really close to Newton, so I go to visit
- 0:46Speaker 3: my parents like every day.
- 0:47Speaker 6: So when you are Grant are out together, do you
- 0:50Speaker 6: constantly get recognized? Now?
- 0:52Speaker 5: Yes, for sure. He's hard to miss.
- 0:55Speaker 3: So when we're together, it's like people are very excited
- 0:57Speaker 3: to see him, and then I'm kind of like there
- 1:00Speaker 3: with them.
- 1:00Speaker 5: I'm like, hey, but do.
- 1:05Speaker 1: You like getting recognized everywhere you go? I guess that's
- 1:08Speaker 1: part of the game, right.
- 1:09Speaker 3: It's part of the game, for sure. It's taking It
- 1:12Speaker 3: has taken some getting used to. You know, I am
- 1:16Speaker 3: a bit of an awkward person, I think, just like
- 1:18Speaker 3: by nature, I'm kind of shy of it, so, you know,
- 1:21Speaker 3: but it's been really fun and it's really cool to
- 1:23Speaker 3: see the excitement of people and just kind of feel
- 1:26Speaker 3: like you're connected to them through this weird, strange event.
- 1:30Speaker 2: Now, what are I mean?
- 1:32Speaker 1: Obviously we saw your family at the famous backyard party,
- 1:36Speaker 1: which everybody wanted to be there. It's just your family
- 1:39Speaker 1: seems like a very welcoming, very friendly, very cool family. Absolutely,
- 1:44Speaker 1: But what's the family conversation now that you're home? They
- 1:48Speaker 1: must have questions that they didn't want to ask when
- 1:50Speaker 1: they were on TV and such.
- 1:52Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, my family, I'm so blessed. My family
- 1:56Speaker 3: really cares about just me and you know, my headspace,
- 1:59Speaker 3: and so every day they're checking in, you know, how's
- 2:02Speaker 3: your head, how's your heart? Like those types of questions,
- 2:05Speaker 3: and you know, I think the priority for them is
- 2:08Speaker 3: that I'm happy and that I feel like good in
- 2:10Speaker 3: what's happening? So, you know, they wanted to know a
- 2:13Speaker 3: little bit more about Grant. They had a couple questions about,
- 2:17Speaker 3: you know, what he does for his day to day job,
- 2:20Speaker 3: like does he how close is he with his family,
- 2:23Speaker 3: like those types of things, and even my dad and
- 2:26Speaker 3: his dad talk a lot, and my mom and his
- 2:29Speaker 3: mom talk a lot.
- 2:30Speaker 5: I talked to his sister Taylor quite a bit. So
- 2:32Speaker 5: it's it's nice, yeah, really good.
- 2:36Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I would ask I want to ask
- 2:38Speaker 6: a question. When you guys were done filming and you
- 2:41Speaker 6: knew that you guys were together.
- 2:43Speaker 5: Yeah, where did you meet up?
- 2:44Speaker 6: Like how did you keep it a secret?
- 2:47Speaker 3: So they they will let us get together in LA
- 2:52Speaker 3: every couple of weeks, and you're really kind of just
- 2:55Speaker 3: in a house hanging out alone.
- 2:58Speaker 5: You don't leave, you don't, you know, have any connection
- 3:01Speaker 5: to the outside world.
- 3:02Speaker 3: Again, so it's an unconventional way to I don't know,
- 3:05Speaker 3: stay connected because personally I prefer just facetiming him every day,
- 3:09Speaker 3: waiting till we can be in the public.
- 3:12Speaker 5: But that's kind of how that goes.
- 3:14Speaker 3: You meet up every like two or three weeks out
- 3:16Speaker 3: in LA and just spend like a weekend together, you
- 3:19Speaker 3: arrive separately.
- 3:20Speaker 1: Yes, Now, Juliana, if you look directly across from you
- 3:24Speaker 1: in the studio, you'll notice I'm sure you've been wondering,
- 3:28Speaker 1: why is there a young teenage boy sitting in the
- 3:33Speaker 1: studio at a microphone. I'm guessing you probably wondered, right, Yeah,
- 3:37Speaker 1: tell me about that. Riley Dunovan happened to be Lisa
- 3:39Speaker 1: Dunovan's son. Yeah, but here's the story. Since he was
- 3:44Speaker 1: nine years old, he has been a dedicated fan of
- 3:48Speaker 1: the show The Bachelor, so much so that once a week,
- 3:51Speaker 1: the morning after the episode, Riley comes on and breaks.
- 3:54Speaker 2: It all down. That's correct, So awesome, Riley. Do you
- 3:57Speaker 2: have questions for Juliana?
- 3:58Speaker 4: Yes, I have a lot.
- 4:00Speaker 5: This is super Bowl, Yeah.
- 4:03Speaker 4: I mean Boston. This is crazy, Like this is this
- 4:06Speaker 4: is so surreal to have a winner from Boston.
- 4:08Speaker 5: First of all.
- 4:10Speaker 4: But first of all, I'd like to say, because I've
- 4:12Speaker 4: been thinking all season, I'm like, you know, from the
- 4:14Speaker 4: first episode, when you know girls start obviously kissing.
- 4:17Speaker 5: Grant, It's like, yeah, what does his breath smell like?
- 4:20Speaker 4: Was it good, like a wave of heat that like
- 4:24Speaker 4: just like moves over you, or is it just is
- 4:26Speaker 4: it good?
- 4:27Speaker 5: It was very good.
- 4:28Speaker 4: You know.
- 4:29Speaker 3: I think that the team does a really good job
- 4:31Speaker 3: of also having like mints, and.
- 4:37Speaker 5: So it was really good. He is good breath.
- 4:39Speaker 4: Yeah, that's good.
- 4:40Speaker 2: And let me just write that down. Grant has very
- 4:42Speaker 2: good breath.
- 4:43Speaker 5: That's good.
- 4:44Speaker 4: I can relax now.
- 4:47Speaker 5: That's good.
- 4:48Speaker 4: That was my That was my that was my hot question.
- 4:52Speaker 4: So as we went throughout the season, I noticed like
- 4:56Speaker 4: as we got through, like more of the women who
- 4:59Speaker 4: like just seemed like less like interest at the beginning
- 5:02Speaker 4: just sort of fell off and it's more of like
- 5:04Speaker 4: more interest as you get later in the season. So, like,
- 5:08Speaker 4: I know that a lot of the women were like, oh,
- 5:09Speaker 4: I absolutely love this guy after like three episodes in
- 5:13Speaker 4: which is like I'm assuming like three weeks or so.
- 5:16Speaker 4: It's like, what happens to those women? Are they like,
- 5:18Speaker 4: are they forced to like play along with the game
- 5:21Speaker 4: in reality when they're like, oh I can't. I just
- 5:23Speaker 4: couldn't see this working.
- 5:25Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 5:26Speaker 3: Well, you know, I think that there's so many different
- 5:28Speaker 3: ways you could go about this process, right, you'd want
- 5:31Speaker 3: to be true to yourself, But I think ultimately, you
- 5:34Speaker 3: know you're on the Bachelor, you know there's other women involved,
- 5:37Speaker 3: it's kind of how fast do you want to let
- 5:39Speaker 3: your guard down to have that connection with him? Versus
- 5:44Speaker 3: what I kind of did was kind of just was like, yeah,
- 5:47Speaker 3: I like him, but like, you know, I'm not sure
- 5:49Speaker 3: I need to spend more time with him to really
- 5:51Speaker 3: get to know him. And I think some of the
- 5:53Speaker 3: girls did that as well, and then they were like,
- 5:55Speaker 3: the minimal amount of time that you really get to
- 5:57Speaker 3: spend with him in the beginning unless you get one
- 5:59Speaker 3: on ones, it's hard to really like find that true
- 6:04Speaker 3: connection of the possibility of being in love or engaged
- 6:07Speaker 3: at the end of it. So at some point, I
- 6:09Speaker 3: think some of the girls are like, eh, like this
- 6:11Speaker 3: is not for me. I'm not gonna get enough time.
- 6:13Speaker 3: I've got to go, and they're just like kind of
- 6:16Speaker 3: playing the game at that point. And then some girls
- 6:18Speaker 3: are like, oh no, I want to be here till
- 6:20Speaker 3: the end. I'm gonna let my guard down and let
- 6:22Speaker 3: him into every aspect of me and just keep my
- 6:25Speaker 3: fingers crossed.
- 6:26Speaker 1: Well, it is an unusual process, super unusual. So the
- 6:30Speaker 1: moment you felt you loved Grant, yeah, was it hard
- 6:34Speaker 1: to listen to the other remaining women talking about their
- 6:37Speaker 1: relationships with Grant.
- 6:41Speaker 3: For some reason, it wasn't hard for me because I
- 6:44Speaker 3: think it took me a really long time to even
- 6:47Speaker 3: like acknowledge that within my own head and then verbalize
- 6:51Speaker 3: it to him. But at the same time, I just
- 6:54Speaker 3: always knew, like we are on the Bachelor, there are
- 6:57Speaker 3: other girls, like, I'm gonna protect myself, and I did
- 7:00Speaker 3: try and like get some information from girls, like where
- 7:02Speaker 3: are you at with him, you know, to help myself out.
- 7:06Speaker 6: I was so impressed that you stayed out of the drama. Yeah,
- 7:09Speaker 6: was that hard to do?
- 7:11Speaker 3: You know, there really wasn't too much drama. I really
- 7:16Speaker 3: had such a good experience with a lot of the girls.
- 7:18Speaker 3: Of course, there was the one situation where I did
- 7:20Speaker 3: my best to like have a non confrontational conversation, and
- 7:25Speaker 3: you know, however it turned and was portrayed like it's
- 7:28Speaker 3: not up to me.
- 7:29Speaker 5: But it really wasn't that hard.
- 7:32Speaker 3: I was kind of just really friendly with everybody and
- 7:34Speaker 3: they were really respectful.
- 7:35Speaker 2: So now we heard Grant is moving here.
- 7:39Speaker 5: Yes, it's that accurate, Yes it is.
- 7:41Speaker 2: Have you found a place yet together or are you looking?
- 7:45Speaker 3: Or we actually have Mike Eve's fabulous wife, Kelsey.
- 7:49Speaker 5: She's going to be helping us out. Yes, yeah, yes,
- 7:54Speaker 5: we've been. Yes, she is, and so we've just been
- 7:56Speaker 5: kind of chit chatting with her. Nothing.
- 7:58Speaker 3: We don't have like a time frame nes necessarily for it,
- 8:00Speaker 3: because we have so much travel coming up in the
- 8:02Speaker 3: next couple of months that, you know, want we want
- 8:05Speaker 3: to make it make sense when we like, pick a
- 8:07Speaker 3: place and they're paying, you know.
- 8:08Speaker 2: Is there an area or town you've got your mind off.
- 8:11Speaker 5: We're really open to anything.
- 8:12Speaker 1: You know.
- 8:12Speaker 3: I would love to be in the city, but I'm
- 8:14Speaker 3: also not opposed to being outside of the city because
- 8:16Speaker 3: that's where I am now and it's easy to go
- 8:18Speaker 3: in and.
- 8:18Speaker 5: Out for work. So I'm really up for whatever makes
- 8:21Speaker 5: the most sense.
