  Speaker 4: Oh I didn't know that.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's kind of cool, I think so. So he
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: just had like some really good one liners. Is there
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: anything that you were embarrassed of when it aired?
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: The fart?
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: Well, of course the fart.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: So it was a twenty thirty second, very loud fart.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: It was like basically the equivalent of the elf burp
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: an elf.
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: You know what you guys did not see is that
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: far Tola lasted a lot longer than they showed.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: No, yes, how does that happen?
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, here's the thing that all that gas
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: came because I had gotten sick, oh you know, and
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: they had pumped me full of electrolytes and an ivy,
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: and I was distended. I looked four months pregnant, and
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: so I kept telling the reducer who was interviewing me,
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: we have to hurry, we have to hurry, we have
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: to hurry.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: It's like and I heard a balloon.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: I thought he had cut the feet. He said he had,
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: but he didn't, And so he kept and I kept
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: telling it, it's gonna come, It's gonna come. So y'all
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: didn't hear that, right, So anyway, I finally I had
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: to let go it just and then I was so
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: perturbed with him. That's why I looked at him and said,
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: you were saying.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, thank you for the context. It is so amazing.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: But I do need to say, like in the Bachelor mansion,
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: you get bloated more easily because you can't just like
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: far around your house because there's so many ladies around.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: And then you get this big bubble of air in
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: your stomach and it needs to come out.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: You got to take a nap or like get under
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: the covers.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but mine wasn't just ordinary again, Yeah, yours was.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: I had all that stuff pumped into me, yeah, you know,
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: to help me feel better. But I know it was
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: epic like you said, I it is a love art lady.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: I had a farting moment too that people will bring
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: up from Bachelor in Paradise.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: I don't remember that.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: It was like last year when Jared and I went
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: back and like apparently our fantasy suite was ruined because
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: I was gassy and I had a creamy Caesar. Do
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: you remember that cream I don look. Okay, So you're
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: a Bachelor fan? Yeah, oh yeah, So how long have
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: you been watching? And it's just so just mind blowing
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: to be in this house and to have been cast,
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: and to walk out of a limo.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, and and I just couldn't wait to see
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: this mansion. Now I know the mansion. This mansion wasn't
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: the one they used. I don't think back when they.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Started, like trista house. It's been like fifteeneen years.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: Okay, but anyway, I've watched since the beginning, and most episodes,
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: I must say, I don't think I missed many, and
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: I was fascinated with it, you know, young love and
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: romance and all that kind of stuff. But so you know,
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: when this opportunity came along, it was like why not.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Did you sign yourself up or did somebody else.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: No, I signed myself up, literally, I can tell you, well,
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: never mind anyway, I signed myself up last November and
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: totally forgot about it. Just forgot about it.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Last September, last November, last November.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Okay, So this was like they had been casting for
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: a while because it got delayed for COVID and all that.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: Yes, well that was in nineteen or twenty twenty twenty.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so this was first year, just.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: Twelve months ago, okay, Yeah, And then totally forgot about it.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: And in February I get this phone call from a
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: strange number that I almost did not answer, and had
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: a great conversation with this young lady and at the
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: end she says, well, do you have any questions for me?
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: We made appointment to talk with the casting director, and
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: she said, do you have any questions for me? And
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: I said I do. And I said, m what took
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: you guys so long? I'd only been through That wasn't
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: the most kind thing to say, but I said, I
• 4:14

• 4:20
  Speaker 4: thousand applications and you've made the first cut. So congratulations.

  Speaker 3: fact that you missed your daughter's wedding to be here
• 4:45

• 7:34
  Speaker 4: know his playing field. Yeah. Yeah, I mean this is
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: obviously a different experience than most human beings have. Twenty
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: three to one. You know, was Gary your type?
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: I guess yeah he was, because well, because I've always
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: been attracted to Tom and my husband was tall. My
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: daughters are six feet tall. Wow, so you know I'm
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: their little mommy. So and my dad was tall. So
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: I've always been attracted to Tom AND's Gary was right there
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: in the in that range. And he's smart, sweet, As
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: I said on the show, he's a very gentle man,
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: and I like that. I don't like the bully types,
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: the big brownnie. I don't need that. And you know,
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: Gary has had a way of like he's like he
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: said tonight, I believe when he's with someone, he shuts
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: out everything else and he's right there with them.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's been a theme amongst all the interviews we've
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: done with the ladies, Like he really compartmentalized all the
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: relationship I did.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: Now, most of our one and ones were not shown
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: on television, you know, forty three minutes. She can't show
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: everybody's one on one every week. It just doesn't work
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: that way. But we had some great chats and so
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: I got a little more tracted to him each time
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: I sat down with him, and because we talked a
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: lot of football and some other fun stuff and we
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: had we had a good time.
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: Nices.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: So were you or were you surprised at who made
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: the top three or were you seeing that all coming?
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: I wasn't surprised. I think most of us could predict,
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: not not necessarily predict, but along the way we could
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: see the relationships he was forming with the last three
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: and four that that you know, it was not a surprise,
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: maybe a little disappointment, but it wasn't a surprise.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: What did you think about him expressing being in love
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: with all three?
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Hmmm, well, super honest?
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: Can I be super honest? Part of me says, that's
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: the way the show is. That's that's he's not the
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: first bachelor or bachelorette to have done that. Yeah, you know,
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: to express feelings for more than one person. Yeah, I
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: wish it could be different, because it feelings get in
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: the way, people get hurt, truly hurt. But again, that's
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: the format of the show. And so I would think
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: that each one of them would know that going in
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: that and and they kind of express it as the
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: show goes on. Yeah, but he said he does me, yes,
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: but there's two others, or yes, but there's another one,
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: and I don't know what he's saying to the other.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: So that's always in the back of their head, the
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: back of their mind, and so I don't know. It's
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: I have mixed feelings about that. Yeah, I mean that's
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: what gives the show its punch, and it's mystery, and
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: it's intrigue and and makes people tune in and and online.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: The chatter is did make this season really unpredictable.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: It did it did my last question for you is
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: quite fun? If there was to be the last question?
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Can we just going? Is this fun? Could we will
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: have you back? Let's come back.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: We're always looking for guests all the time, okay, and
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: especially ones that'll be really honest about what they say
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: on TV recap with us one day. Okay, okay, So
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: if there is a golden Bachelor in Paradise, we haven't seen,
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: you know, a group of men, because there's never there's
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: never been a golden bachelorette.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: But if you were to cast a dream man to
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: land on the beach, what celebrity would he look like?
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: Denzale Washington did? I hesitate?
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Ed, We're done.
