  Speaker 2: Hey guys, welcome to the Almost Sannas podcast. It's Ashley
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: and Ben and I are doing our individual interviews with
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, like all of Bachelor nation, who is
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: here tonight at the Bachelor Mansion with me? Right now?
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: I have Christina and Edith from the Golden Bachelor. And
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: while we're recording this, it happens to be the finale
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: of the Golden Bachelor, Ladies. When I'm assuming that you
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: know the winner, and once this episode comes out, everybody
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: will know the winner. Did you predict it to be
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: her at the beginning or when you left the mansion?
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: I actually thought it was going to be Leslie.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Okay, so you know I was wrong.
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: I have a feeling that is gonna be Teresa, but
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: you know I could be wrong too, so I don't know.
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: My predictions originally was Leslie and Nancy. Those are my
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: top two. Like the first night, I mean, of course
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: I wanted to be but I really felt that those
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: two were. And then as watching the show and stuff, yeah,
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: you kind of just felt like Teresa was going to
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: be in there.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Okay, so you guys really felt at the end, you
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: felt it. Now, I didn't feel at the end like
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: she didn't think she was gonna go all the way.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: You know what, when Teresa told me that first night
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: that you know, she went on the date with Gary and.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: How she felt, I looked at her.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: It was just like her eyes were just so bright
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: and she was just mesmerized with this man. I'm thinking,
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: oh my god, Teresa's already fallen for him. And you
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: know what, right there, I said, you know what, it
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: could happen, But.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: I had just two of those people.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: It was Teresa and Leslie, and it actually happened that
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: they're the last two.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: So please tell me why I thought it was Faith
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: the entire time.
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: Well, I think, I mean she got the first impression Rose,
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: which always, if you've watched the show like I have
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: for a long time, that person seems to go far
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: and and there's always seems to be this attraction to
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: that person. Maybe that, and then I think as time
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: went on, even I felt very different about Faith, how
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: she portrayed herself and how she was very.
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: Vulnerable to everything.
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: I was kind of blown away by how their attraction
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: really got strong.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Well, I was just taken aback based
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: on seeing his hometown with her and saying I love
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: you in front of the family.
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: But he said that to all three but not so reason.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Why do you think he held back with Theresa?
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: But you tell her family?
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Yes, he said that he was falling in love with
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: her to the family, but not directly to her. Okay,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: So why holding back with the person that he ends
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: up with.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: I don't know. But I never saw it with Faith.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: You know, Faith was in my we were roommates, but
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: I just didn't see it. I know that she was
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: really into him, but I just didn't see Gary really
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: into her.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Interesting. Wow, the things we don't see.
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: And Leslie was.
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: My roommate and and from the beginning I kind of
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: thought that she was maybe a front runner, but then
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: getting to know her, you could I could feel why
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: she would be I mean, she's very warm, she's just
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: very nice and all that, and I think he saw
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: that in her as well.
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: So do you guys think that there'll be a Golden Bachelorette?
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: Yes, but who knows what?
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: You know what?
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: I know that it is, but we don't you know.
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: You know that there is there is gonna be a
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: golden back only because the show was so popular, and
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: I think it's going to be.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: But I don't know who they're gonna choose, and I'm,
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: you know, most likely it's going to be in the
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: last you know two, Leslie or Faith.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: You know, I don't know, I have I have.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: What I would like to see personally, is them to
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: change the format for the Golden Bachelor or Bachelor, not
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: keep the same format as with the younger like I
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: had suggested to some of the producers, have three of
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: the ladies. I mean, they have this incredible fan base
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: and all these people who really like them that figure
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: out something to do and bring a couple of them back,
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: Because you bring one back, there's going to be like
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: all kinds of controversy.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but then we see controversy when we have double bachelorettes.
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: Well, but that was the young ones.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Yeahs are definitely way more supportive of each other.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: I think so because we really not, you know, we're
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: just looking for love. We already have our families, we
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: already have grandkids. We you know, we have our kids.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: So I guess it's going to be a little bit different.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: That's my you know, idea.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: So I love that you bring that up because Ben
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: and I have had a little bit of a difference
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: on this throughout the season. To me, if I were
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: in so many of your cases a widow or I've
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: already had kids, in a family life and all that,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I would think that I'd be lucky to experience it again.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: But I also think that I would probably be just
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: fine if I didn't. I think that on the normal
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Bachelor show, because you haven't had that and you're working
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: towards creating a family, there's a little bit more of
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: an urgency totally. So what do you guys think about that?
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Like which feeling is more intense the older version of
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: the younger version.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: I have to be honest with you, as us be
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: getting older, we have the same heart. The heart doesn't
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: know the difference between being young or older. That's what
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: the younger generation doesn't understand. My heart still thinks that, hey,
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: he's out there and I'm going to find him and
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: I want the true love, you know, just like in
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: the beginning before I met you know, my husband and
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: I had them, you know, I have my kids and everything.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: I think that we still have this love that we
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: want to give and that we want to find this,
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: and so I have a feeling, I mean, this is
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: gonna you know, it's going to be different. It's going
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: to be I gonna.
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: Say, for me, it's a little different.
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: I'm I'm seventy four, and he'd look amazing, gorgeous.
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: I live a really full life.
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: I travel. I've been to thirteen countries in the last
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: five years. I'm very busy. I do all kinds of
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: adventurous stuff. I'm happy and I'm fulfilled, but I really
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: want that companionship.
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: I want to fall in love.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: I have one more time. I still want to fall
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: in love.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're just looking at the right person out there,
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: and I know he's out there.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: I just haven't found them.
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: And to enjoy the things I like to enjoy.
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: I mean, I I'm fulfilled and I live a good life,
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: but I want to share it with you. I want
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: to partner to share those things with me that we're
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: on the same level with things. So I think that's
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: the difference. Because our kids are raised and I have
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: grandkids and everybody's doing fine. But I really want to
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: do more and have someone to share it with.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: So can you guys remind us I keep saying you guys,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: but like you guys are ladies, so I need to
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: stop with that. Ladies, Can you remind us of your
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: backstories individually a little bit? Christina? What's your family and
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: relationship background?
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: I have two children, one fifty four, one's fifty two.
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: Isn't that mind blowing?
• 7:14

• 7:16
  Speaker 2: this interview.

  Speaker 5: I have four grandchildren twenty six, twenty one, eighteen, and fifteen,
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: and my twenty six yearld grandson just got married. So
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: I mean, and my family, everyone's very successful, doing well,
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: no issues, and we're very close. My family's my heart,
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: My family's everything. But I mean, they want me to
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: find somebody else there. It's like almost a worry, like
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: you're alone stuff, And I tell them I'm okay, but
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: they really want to see me with somebody else and
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: know that I would enjoy that. But I'm very lucky.
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: I have such a great family and they're extremely supportive.
• 7:55

• 9:10
  Speaker 6: pick a ball and find a man.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, we'll all start talking to the producers
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: about this paradise situation. What if it was like a
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: mix and mingling situation where we had the olders and
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: the youngers together.
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: Oh, that would be interesting. Ones like I think.
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: Things to do to make sure that they go through
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: life to be happy.
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: And in their later years. So much advice could those mistakes?
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: What if we had like one beach with you, guys,
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: one beach with them, and then like you would visit
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: each other and like cross this.
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: And they could ask us questions and we could be
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: like consulting.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: Yes exactly, it will be so amazing.
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: Consultant.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, I love that idea. Yes, it would.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: I would love that.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: It's been so fun with you ladies. Just last question
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: to wrap things up, is Gary your prototypical type? Is
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: this a man that you would have seen walking around
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: and been like, Ah, that is the kind of man I'd.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: Like to with.
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: So when everything first came out about him, literally we
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: had everything in common, everything, everything he listed important, We
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: had something in common. In this environment, it wasn't meant
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: to be for me. I feel like if I was
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: to meet him in the real world, out in you know,
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: Pasadena or something, I would have had a chance to
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: get to know him because we did have an awful
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: lot in common. I was very attracted to him. I
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: thought he's very handsome, he was so nice and charismatic.
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: But in this environment it didn't work.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: I understand that.
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I get it. I bet you.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: I'm a little bit.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: More for us. We needed to be friends first, for sure,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: I definitely needed a little bit more of a slower
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: process exactly.
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and for me very much so.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: But in terms of like the therapy that you basically
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: go through as part of the show, I did need that.
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: Okay, Edith, what about you?
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: You know what, as soon as I saw him, I
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: was so like, I was excited just to look at him,
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: and I you know, I was just so crazy about
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: meeting him, and and you know what, I had the
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: spark but apparently he didn't have no spark from me.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: And we left the same time.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: So sad to see you all leave.
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: Oh we were sad too, But you have each other now.
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: Yes, so great.
• 11:39

• 11:42
