0:00
Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
0:03
Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio.
0:05
Speaker 2: It's Almost Faus podcast. We are here today with breaking news, Yes,
0:10
Speaker 2: breaking news. We found out about this news at about
0:13
Speaker 2: eleven o'clock Eastern time last night and decided to jump
0:16
Speaker 2: on first thing this morning to discuss some updates that
0:20
Speaker 2: we have found out regarding Paradise and also like what
0:25
Speaker 2: was happening with the Bachelorette season. Obviously it's been announced
0:28
Speaker 2: that it's not happening now, but what led up to
0:31
Speaker 2: this moment. So we're here to discuss all the insider
0:34
Speaker 2: secrets that we have gathered along with making some assumptions
0:38
Speaker 2: that actually to date, Ashley and I'm going to sound
0:42
Speaker 2: like our current president when I say this, we've been
0:46
Speaker 2: very right on our assumptions. Like we're people are talking
0:50
Speaker 2: about us and saying like, actually have bet are making
0:53
Speaker 2: really good assumptions these days.
0:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're so good at what we do. Of course,
0:59
Speaker 3: what we did.
1:02
Speaker 4: We could exclusively reveal some of the planning of the
1:04
Speaker 4: dates that were happening right up until the show was canceled.
1:07
Speaker 4: So our sources are saying that about seventy five percent
1:11
Speaker 4: of the dates were planned, Like there were scouting locations
1:13
Speaker 4: in Europe. We're hearing that Greece and Portugal were in
1:17
Speaker 4: the mix, and there was going to be an.
1:20
Speaker 3: iHeart podcast related date.
1:23
Speaker 4: The hope was apparently that we Ben and I were
1:26
Speaker 4: going to be part of a date with a lot
1:28
Speaker 4: of the other iHeart hosts like Jenna Kramer, Cheryl Burke,
1:32
Speaker 4: Jenny Garth, Kevin McHale, and Jenna Ushkwitz.
1:36
Speaker 3: Just to name a few.
1:38
Speaker 4: And the date was not like fully set in stone yet,
1:40
Speaker 4: but the planning process was in full swing with one
1:42
Speaker 4: of our producers, and there was going to be a
1:45
Speaker 4: winner on this day. It was going to be a
1:46
Speaker 4: competition date and the winner was going to go with
1:49
Speaker 4: the bachelorette to the iHeartRadio Music Awards and walk the carpet.
1:52
Speaker 4: March seventeenth is when the awards was supposed to be.
1:56
Speaker 4: And then we found out that this was just not
1:58
Speaker 4: going to happen. So it was way more shocking than
2:01
Speaker 4: something to the production than I think we all assumed.
2:07
Speaker 2: Okay, so let's do our analytical receptions diagnosis of what
2:15
Speaker 2: we know so far. So it wasn't the planning process,
2:18
Speaker 2: So this decision was not made a year ago. It
2:22
Speaker 2: was not made post even Gen season. This decision was
2:25
Speaker 2: made in a moment's time, based on something that happened.
2:30
Speaker 2: We'll get more into that here in a little bit.
2:33
Speaker 2: This also, to me, Ashley, does not seem like a
2:37
Speaker 2: money decision that this decision was not. I mean, money
2:40
Speaker 2: always is involved, right If they thought they were going
2:43
Speaker 2: to make a buku amount of bucks having this season air,
2:48
Speaker 2: they would have found a way for it to air.
2:49
Speaker 2: But it doesn't seem like to me this was the
2:53
Speaker 2: reason that the show didn't happen because and I say
2:57
Speaker 2: this because they weren't just now like after Gin season
3:01
Speaker 2: and seeing the ratings and kind of understanding how you know,
3:05
Speaker 2: the Bachelorette and The Bachelor were being viewed. They didn't
3:09
Speaker 2: just decide, hey, let's stick in LA like, let's do
3:12
Speaker 2: an LA season. Let's make it as cheap as possible. Yeah,
3:16
Speaker 2: let's not travel, let's do some like maybe like us
3:20
Speaker 2: stuff where we can drive or like quick easy flights.
3:24
Speaker 2: They were still considering an international experience. So money, to
3:28
Speaker 2: me doesn't seem like the culprit. And so now we
3:33
Speaker 2: have to ask ourselves the question, what did happen? We
3:38
Speaker 2: have a little bit of information on from our inside
3:41
Speaker 2: source on possibly what did happen Ashley, Let's talk about
3:47
Speaker 2: some of the people they were considering to be the
3:49
Speaker 2: lead of this next season.
3:51
Speaker 4: Okay, so there are two girls from Grand season that
3:53
Speaker 4: we're being considered. But here are the juicy there's the
3:56
Speaker 4: juicy news. We're pretty certain that Maria Maria from Joey's
4:00
Speaker 4: season was a front runner, as we thought that she
4:02
Speaker 4: was a front runner to be the Bachelorette during gen season.
4:07
Speaker 4: The source says that they don't know exactly what happened,
4:09
Speaker 4: but they couldn't make Maria happen, and that's why the
4:13
Speaker 4: show didn't get picked up because they just didn't think
4:17
Speaker 4: that they had a I'm assuming that they didn't think
4:20
Speaker 4: they had a strong enough lead that was going to
4:22
Speaker 4: get enough ratings. They also say that The Bachelor didn't
4:25
Speaker 4: get picked up because the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,
4:29
Speaker 4: the show that they sometimes have play after the Bachelorette.
4:34
Speaker 3: It seems like they may have wanted that more.
4:39
Speaker 2: What do you mean wanted it?
4:41
Speaker 3: More like if they couldn't.
4:42
Speaker 4: Get the Bachelorette, they wanted they were like, this is
4:44
Speaker 4: probably gonna be better for the time slot or perform
4:47
Speaker 4: better for the time slot.
4:48
Speaker 2: So let's pause here. The Secret Life of Mormon Wives
4:52
Speaker 2: is now what we assume going to hold a prime
4:56
Speaker 2: time time slot on ABC, which is owned by Disney
5:01
Speaker 2: on Monday nights instead of The Bachelorette.
5:04
Speaker 4: Yes, and again it is an assumption that it's being
5:07
Speaker 4: replaced with the Bachelorette because it's the same demographic, same
5:11
Speaker 4: type of age group wants to watch this show as
5:14
Speaker 4: a bachelorette, and they couldn't make the Bachelorette the person
5:17
Speaker 4: they wanted work. Let's also say that our sources were
5:23
Speaker 4: saying that they were thinking about Alchill giving Rachel Rekia
5:26
Speaker 4: a redo. They said that her name was floated around.
5:30
Speaker 4: But there is a reason that she couldn't do it,
5:33
Speaker 4: and we can't reveal that at real time.
5:36
Speaker 2: But we do know the reason.
5:37
Speaker 3: We do.
5:38
Speaker 4: I was gonna say we personally do, and we will
5:41
Speaker 4: tell you soon enough. But production and fans love Rachel,
5:45
Speaker 4: and I would have loved to see Rachel have her
5:47
Speaker 4: own season. She's so likable. I really really love that girl.
5:52
Speaker 4: But there's something else exciting that's happening for her.
5:56
Speaker 2: So okay, what we know so far is Maria Rachel too.
6:00
Speaker 2: Girls from Grand Season were being considered for the lead
6:02
Speaker 2: of The Bachelorette. It sounds like from our source that
6:07
Speaker 2: Maria was the front runner, that it felt like the
6:10
Speaker 2: powers that be really wanted Maria to be the lead
6:14
Speaker 2: of this season. And it almost seems to me, based
6:17
Speaker 2: on the information we have, that they couldn't make it
6:20
Speaker 2: work with Maria for whatever reason that was, and as
6:23
Speaker 2: a result, they had to pull the plug on the
6:27
Speaker 2: show because somebody that had a lot of influence over
6:31
Speaker 2: the show was fairly stuck on this Maria storyline and said,
6:36
Speaker 2: if we're not going to do Maria, it's not worth doing.
6:39
Speaker 4: Maybe we could say stubborn on the Maria thing, like
6:42
Speaker 4: if you're not having Maria, you're not having anyone.
6:45
Speaker 2: And it sounds like that, I mean, based on the
6:47
Speaker 2: information we have, that seems like the reason that this
6:49
Speaker 2: season maybe isn't happening because the ratings have not been
6:53
Speaker 2: good enough. Even though I think there has been great seasons,
6:57
Speaker 2: I still go back to I think the show took
6:59
Speaker 2: a massive hit with the men that were cast for
7:03
Speaker 2: Gen's season. I think Jen did a great job. I
7:06
Speaker 2: think we've seen Gen really thrive outside of the role
7:09
Speaker 2: of the Bachelorette, but the men on her season I
7:12
Speaker 2: think really hurt the show. And because the show decided
7:16
Speaker 2: to kind of do the don't ask, don't tell, we're
7:18
Speaker 2: not going to really talk about it strategy. I think
7:21
Speaker 2: the show is in a really tough place. I don't
7:23
Speaker 2: believe it's going away, though I will say that I
7:26
Speaker 2: don't think the show is gone forever.
7:29
Speaker 4: And neither do the people at ABC. They say that
7:32
Speaker 4: they think that the show will come back. They get
7:33
Speaker 4: paradised last year, and now it's back and they're going
7:35
Speaker 4: to just do the same thing.
7:36
Speaker 3: With Bachelorette, just like a little reboot time.
7:49
Speaker 4: Now. They're also saying that if they were going to
7:51
Speaker 4: do the Bachelorette, they were going to bring some familiar
7:54
Speaker 4: faces to the cast, Like we're hearing Sam from gen
7:59
Speaker 4: Z and Sam Well, Sam, Oh, Sam, Which one was
8:04
Speaker 4: the one that was like, oh, like attractive at first
8:07
Speaker 4: but then then like turned There was a couple Sam Sam,
8:12
Speaker 4: but the only one I really remember was the one
8:15
Speaker 4: that was like, Oh, he's suave and then it was like, oh,
8:18
Speaker 4: he's like kind of ugh.
8:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, So we're actually I'm assuming we're talking about that Sam.
8:23
Speaker 2: What an interesting choice to bring him back. Maybe it
8:25
Speaker 2: is a little bit of a redemption moment, because we
8:27
Speaker 2: do remember him having the conflicts with Devin and kind
8:30
Speaker 2: of people picking Devin's side, and then obviously that came out.
8:34
Speaker 2: So maybe they felt like Sam got a raw into
8:37
Speaker 2: the deal because he was expressing something that now all
8:42
Speaker 2: of us seemed to agree with.
8:44
Speaker 4: Good thinking, Wow, we were so team Devin, or at
8:49
Speaker 4: least I was.
8:50
Speaker 3: We all were okay, yeah.
8:52
Speaker 2: Until the end, and now we're not.
8:55
Speaker 4: All right now what I have heard about Maria and Okay,
9:02
Speaker 4: I pause here because I just I have a hard
9:07
Speaker 4: time believing that anyone wouldn't want the role if being
9:11
Speaker 4: asked to be the lead of this show, I can't believe.
9:15
Speaker 4: Maybe it's just from my own like I could never
9:18
Speaker 4: imagine turning on the show, but I have a hard
9:22
Speaker 4: time believing that anybody would. I know that Daisy truly
9:26
Speaker 4: did because Daisy one really felt like she didn't have
9:29
Speaker 4: the personality for it, and I can see that. But
9:33
Speaker 4: also majorly Daisy was rekindling things with her former flame
9:39
Speaker 4: now Maria, like she has said over the past year,
9:45
Speaker 4: that she was asked to do the show and then
9:47
Speaker 4: she decided not to do it. I heard another reason.
9:52
Speaker 4: I've heard from people close to production that they did
10:00
Speaker 4: want her to be the Bachelorette. They were like having
10:02
Speaker 4: her do like lots of filming, and then in the
10:04
Speaker 4: midst of this filming, they're basically like, this girl is
10:08
Speaker 4: too difficult to work with. We can't do an entire
10:10
Speaker 4: season with her. It'll be a wreck. And now they're
10:14
Speaker 4: floating the idea. Then they were floating the idea of
10:16
Speaker 4: Maria again and again. Maria, from our source, is saying
10:22
Speaker 4: she wasn't willing to do it. Do you believe that
10:25
Speaker 4: Maria wouldn't want to be the Bachelorette?
10:27
Speaker 2: No, I mean I think there would be it matter
10:29
Speaker 2: what life's circumstances were going on. You know, obviously with Daisy,
10:32
Speaker 2: you meant brought it up, she wasn't confident taking the
10:35
Speaker 2: role and she was falling in love. It matters kind
10:38
Speaker 2: of what Maria's dating life is like and what her
10:40
Speaker 2: personal life looks like now outside the show. And honestly,
10:43
Speaker 2: I'm not an expert in that. I really don't know.
10:45
Speaker 2: So I would be surprised if somebody was single. I'd
10:48
Speaker 2: be surprised if somebody had agreed to go on the
10:52
Speaker 2: other show that they wouldn't be at least intrigued to
10:56
Speaker 2: go on and become the lead, because if you really
11:00
Speaker 2: are someone looking for love or someone looking to promote
11:04
Speaker 2: the fact to the world that you're looking for love,
11:07
Speaker 2: being the lead is a really great opportunity for that.
11:09
Speaker 2: Now the show knows Maria. She showed her personality through
11:14
Speaker 2: that first show that she was on. It's why people
11:16
Speaker 2: fell in love with her, It's why she is somebody
11:20
Speaker 2: we know and talk about to this day. The show
11:22
Speaker 2: had to know. This is why I have a hard
11:24
Speaker 2: time with it who she is and who she was,
11:26
Speaker 2: and how she would be to work with. And if
11:28
Speaker 2: they wanted that fiery season, if they wanted that mix
11:32
Speaker 2: between a kateln Bristow kind of season where somebody's going
11:35
Speaker 2: to say what they're thinking, they're going to do what
11:37
Speaker 2: they feel like, they're going to push back a little
11:40
Speaker 2: bit against production, and it makes for a great watch,
11:45
Speaker 2: then Maria would be a tremendous choice. It would shake
11:48
Speaker 2: things up a lot, and I actually personally think she
11:51
Speaker 2: would have been a great choice to watch on television
11:53
Speaker 2: because it would be that raw, authentic moments of like
12:01
Speaker 2: awkwardness type of season.
12:03
Speaker 4: Well, we all know that they have some decision making
12:06
Speaker 4: issues sometimes when it comes to the lead, and this
12:10
Speaker 4: is no shade to any of the leads.
12:12
Speaker 3: I'm so sorry.
12:12
Speaker 4: I don't want it to be interpreted like that, but
12:14
Speaker 4: I think we can all agree that there's been some
12:17
Speaker 4: skeptical choices there. And then I also think that this
12:23
Speaker 4: is no shade to Maria. I'm not saying like I
12:25
Speaker 4: don't believe her. But at the same time, it would
12:29
Speaker 4: be very unique to turn this down based on all
12:33
Speaker 4: the other leads that I've known in the past and
12:35
Speaker 4: their decision to take it.
12:37
Speaker 2: It would be it'd be a very interesting decision and
12:39
Speaker 2: we'd want to hear about it now. So we have
12:42
Speaker 2: all this information now gathered up. We have multiple people
12:45
Speaker 2: they're considering for leads. We have the decision to not
12:48
Speaker 2: do The Bachelorette. We've both agreed that we think the
12:52
Speaker 2: show will come back. And so if people are out
12:54
Speaker 2: there stressing, like, hey, what am I going to do
12:55
Speaker 2: on Monday nights? The Bachelorette was something I've always enjoyed.
12:59
Speaker 2: I can't believe it's not going to be on my television.
13:01
Speaker 2: I will say right now, my guess is the show
13:04
Speaker 2: will come back and it will come back and in
13:08
Speaker 2: a great way at some point soon. However, Yeah, we
13:13
Speaker 2: don't have proof yet. I believe in the franchise. I do.
13:21
Speaker 2: We don't have proof yet that they can pause a
13:23
Speaker 2: show and reboot it successfully. We're gonna get that proof
13:28
Speaker 2: and get that data this year with Paradise, because obviously
13:30
Speaker 2: Paradise took a year off.
13:32
Speaker 4: Well technically, Ben, they did pause The Bachelor at in
13:34
Speaker 4: the two.
13:35
Speaker 2: Thousands, totally different time.
13:38
Speaker 3: It was one hundred thousand percent of time.
13:40
Speaker 2: I don't think you can compare them. So we have
13:44
Speaker 2: a whole new and we're going to switch over here
13:46
Speaker 2: to talk about Paradise. We have a whole new production team,
13:50
Speaker 2: a whole new staff that is going to take over Paradise.
13:53
Speaker 2: It's going to be in a new location with a
13:55
Speaker 2: new team producing it. It's been paused for a year.
13:59
Speaker 2: We have some information on how Paradise is actually going
14:02
Speaker 2: to look and work that really intrigues me and makes
14:05
Speaker 2: me think all sorts of weird stuff. Do you think,
14:18
Speaker 2: to start this conversation off, Paradise is going to reboot
14:21
Speaker 2: in a successful way.
14:22
Speaker 3: I do.
14:23
Speaker 4: I think people are going to want to watch it
14:26
Speaker 4: again after a longer break than they've had in a
14:29
Speaker 4: very long time between the Grand Season and the airing
14:32
Speaker 4: of Paradise. I believe the airing of Paradise will be
14:36
Speaker 4: back to its regular scheduled programming. I believe it'll be
14:40
Speaker 4: a summer show, which I believe it should be. I
14:43
Speaker 4: think that the shooting schedule, especially with the cancelation of
14:46
Speaker 4: The Bachelorette.
14:47
Speaker 3: Or the pause in the Bachelorette, is going to be
14:49
Speaker 3: earlier than it normally would be.
14:51
Speaker 4: I believe that it's starting to film in May, that
14:56
Speaker 4: they'll be wrapping up in the early parts of June.
15:00
Speaker 4: And yeah, Ben is hearing that it's going to be
15:02
Speaker 4: happening in Puerto Rico.
15:03
Speaker 3: I have no idea. It can't be happening.
15:05
Speaker 2: It's one of the two I've been hearing, the Dominican
15:08
Speaker 2: Republic or Puerto Rico. And I can't conformfirm either way,
15:12
Speaker 2: but that's what I'm hearing.
15:15
Speaker 4: And then I do feel like the core Bachelor audience
15:17
Speaker 4: they always say that they're most excited for Paradise, even
15:20
Speaker 4: though so many people come up to me they're like, well, well,
15:23
Speaker 4: Paradise is the most popular volved and them, I was like, actually,
15:25
Speaker 4: technically no, like it always will have lower ratings of
15:28
Speaker 4: the two main shows. It just seems that the fan
15:30
Speaker 4: base gets more, like the core gets more excited for it.
15:36
Speaker 4: We know that they're talking to people. I have people
15:39
Speaker 4: who have who I know they've spoken to and excited
15:44
Speaker 4: for how they compile this cast, especially that they have
15:47
Speaker 4: more casts to choose from than they normally do, being
15:50
Speaker 4: that they did skip that season. And we hear something crazy,
15:54
Speaker 4: guys freaking crazy. We hear that the Goldens are going
15:59
Speaker 4: to be part of it. In so now, I hope
16:01
Speaker 4: that when we hear this, it's not them being like, oh,
16:03
Speaker 4: they're going to host dates that would be lame. No,
16:06
Speaker 4: please have the Goldens dating in paradise. I know that
16:10
Speaker 4: not being ages when I say this, They're not going
16:12
Speaker 4: to be able to handle the conditions that we had
16:14
Speaker 4: that we live in, because as a twenty six year
16:16
Speaker 4: old I had a hard time living in those conditions.
16:21
Speaker 4: But I hope that they have like this little side
16:23
Speaker 4: resort that the Goldens are mingling at, because that would
16:27
Speaker 4: be prime TV.
16:30
Speaker 2: Can I ask the question that everybody's thinking, Yeah, is
16:33
Speaker 2: there a world in which a cast member from the
16:36
Speaker 2: Bachelorette dates somebody from the Golden Show.
16:43
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, that's going to happen if I do believe
16:46
Speaker 4: if there's a world in which they do cohabitate, hilariousness,
16:51
Speaker 4: there'll be a guy that goes after Nancy.
16:53
Speaker 2: Is that hilarious? I mean for me, like, hey, love
16:57
Speaker 2: is love is love, but like goodness, gracious.
17:00
Speaker 4: Okay, So I think that a guy will probably make
17:04
Speaker 4: a move on it on like a like a Nancy, Okay,
17:07
Speaker 4: but I don't know that a Nancy would go and
17:09
Speaker 4: make a move back.
17:10
Speaker 2: Okay. Again, there's a side of me that would love
17:17
Speaker 2: to watch that happen. There's also a side of me
17:19
Speaker 2: that never wants to put anybody in the situation for
17:22
Speaker 2: that to happen. I love these women, the Susans and
17:28
Speaker 2: Nancy's and the Jones, like uh and like I just
17:35
Speaker 2: the Kathy's of the world, Like I just love those women.
17:43
Speaker 2: They have a sauce spot in my heart. I really
17:45
Speaker 2: don't want to set them up for that. I don't
17:49
Speaker 2: like it.
17:49
Speaker 3: Oh, Ben, that's like so sweet.
17:51
Speaker 4: I'm like, okay, give me TV. And You're like, no,
17:54
Speaker 4: why because you think that they're gonna get like heartbroken
17:56
Speaker 4: by it, like a thirty Oh no.
17:57
Speaker 2: No, no, I think it's just gonna get weird.
18:00
Speaker 4: Okay, well, I think that'll be a storyline, because they'll
18:03
Speaker 4: want it to be a storyline, But I don't think
18:05
Speaker 4: that'll be.
18:06
Speaker 3: A main thing.
18:07
Speaker 4: That'll be like an episode or two that's kind of
18:09
Speaker 4: supposed to be funny.
18:11
Speaker 2: A couple things I want to mention. Because the Bachelotte
18:14
Speaker 2: didn't get picked up, all the audio video, all those
18:19
Speaker 2: people that work behind the scenes are out of a job.
18:23
Speaker 2: For those you know, three months that they've for the
18:25
Speaker 2: last twenty years consisted consistently had a job, a really
18:30
Speaker 2: tough position for them to be in, so we're thinking
18:33
Speaker 2: about them. Those are people that I care about, that
18:34
Speaker 2: you care about, that we know well, they you know,
18:38
Speaker 2: have leaned heavy on having this job. And so there
18:42
Speaker 2: are people that are going to hurt. Outside of the
18:44
Speaker 2: viewership and the fans of the show, there are people
18:47
Speaker 2: that are going to suffer because this show isn't getting
18:50
Speaker 2: picked up. So we hope it comes back in a
18:53
Speaker 2: lot of ways for so many reasons, but also because
18:56
Speaker 2: of the people that work on the show.
18:58
Speaker 4: And going off that, Ben, why do you think they've
19:02
Speaker 4: hired a new crew completely.
19:04
Speaker 2: For Paradise I actually, and again I'm making an assumption here.
19:09
Speaker 2: I don't know if it was a new crew as
19:12
Speaker 2: much as they've lost everybody else and they had to
19:14
Speaker 2: fill some spots, you.
19:18
Speaker 4: Mean, like some of our classics, they were just like,
19:21
Speaker 4: I can't do Paradise.
19:23
Speaker 2: They've moved on, They've done out of their things, They've
19:25
Speaker 2: outgrown it, right, I mean, for so many years it
19:27
Speaker 2: was the same face as the same people that were
19:30
Speaker 2: doing Paradise, and I think those people now are taking
19:32
Speaker 2: steps in their career outside of this show, and it
19:35
Speaker 2: kind of has been a waterfall effect for many of
19:39
Speaker 2: them happening at one time, and so they had to
19:41
Speaker 2: find a way to get a team to produce this show.
19:45
Speaker 4: I think it was like a clean slate, though I
19:47
Speaker 4: don't even think it was an option for maybe lower
19:49
Speaker 4: level producers to go and produce it.
19:52
Speaker 2: Again, I have no idea. I have no clue on
19:56
Speaker 2: what's happened, but I do know that it's an new
20:00
Speaker 2: team and so it will be a new look and feel,
20:02
Speaker 2: and that's exciting in a lot of ways, because it's
20:07
Speaker 2: always nice to have new creative voices in there. And
20:09
Speaker 2: it's also a little scary because we love the paradise
20:13
Speaker 2: that we saw and that we were familiar with, and
20:16
Speaker 2: things are going to be different and we don't know
20:19
Speaker 2: how different. Right, is Jesse going to be the host
20:21
Speaker 2: of it as well as going to be the bartender
20:23
Speaker 2: of it? Are they going to have the same intro
20:26
Speaker 2: music and the same intros that they've had since the beginning?
20:28
Speaker 2: Like a what's the dates going to look?
20:30
Speaker 1: Like?
20:31
Speaker 2: What's the living condition? Is now going to be? Right?
20:33
Speaker 2: There was an element of paradise that we love because
20:36
Speaker 2: of the resort that they were in, was it looked
20:38
Speaker 2: great on television, and we also knew behind the scenes
20:41
Speaker 2: there were bugs crawling in the beds and I loved
20:43
Speaker 2: that aspect we did.
20:45
Speaker 4: We love that and we love that like they were
20:47
Speaker 4: so hot and sweaty and uncomfortable and it added to
20:50
Speaker 4: the chaos. I want to know, are they going to
20:52
Speaker 4: be sleeping in air conditioned rooms now? Will there not
20:56
Speaker 4: be crabs in the toilet? There's honestly part of me
21:01
Speaker 4: romanticizes that I'm that I met Jared in a situation
21:05
Speaker 4: like that, Like I kind of love that I had
21:08
Speaker 4: to like tough it out in every way.
21:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, he sweated on him from the beginning, well, it's
21:15
Speaker 2: it's gonna be interesting to watch. We are excited for
21:19
Speaker 2: the future. But this is what we know about why
21:20
Speaker 2: the Bachelorette isn't happening. It's the information we have on
21:24
Speaker 2: who they were considering. Uh. And then also what we
21:27
Speaker 2: know about the upcoming season of Paradise that Ashley believes
21:30
Speaker 2: will be being filmed in May with again the Goldens
21:35
Speaker 2: and the Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants on the beach at
21:39
Speaker 2: the same time. To what capacity, we don't know, but
21:41
Speaker 2: we do know that right now it's rumored they're both
21:43
Speaker 2: going to be there.
21:44
Speaker 4: And I do know one more thing to add before
21:46
Speaker 4: we end this podcast. The change of location. I have
21:50
Speaker 4: heard again everything is here, set here, guys, so can't
21:53
Speaker 4: hold anything against us. I heard that the the ownership
21:58
Speaker 4: of the resort, and you know, it's a resort all
22:00
Speaker 4: year round. They close for a bachelor and for their
22:04
Speaker 4: you know what's the creative department to come in and
22:08
Speaker 4: transform it for probably about two months of the year. Well,
22:13
Speaker 4: the owner was like, don't I don't these new head
22:18
Speaker 4: producers not my fave. Don't love working with them. When
22:21
Speaker 4: I signed onto the show, I was working with these people.
22:24
Speaker 4: Now all these people are gone, and I don't like
22:27
Speaker 4: this new these new phases, I don't. Yeah, so that's
22:31
Speaker 4: why they've changed locations, because the resort didn't want to
22:35
Speaker 4: work with production anymore.
22:39
Speaker 2: So much happening in the Bachelor world. This is the
22:41
Speaker 2: breaking news that we have for you today. I hope
22:44
