Your Bachelor Questions Answered! · The Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous Podcast

0:00
Speaker 1: This is the Benn and Ashley I almost famous podcast
0:03
Speaker 1: with IR Radio. Hey, I'm here to get us in
0:09
Speaker 1: the mood and kick us off because a new season
0:11
Speaker 1: of the Bachelor isn't really that soon yet, but it's coming.
0:15
Speaker 1: And we got a promo Ben, and we have Astley
0:19
Speaker 1: here as well Asley on this episode, Um, Peter Webber's
0:26
Speaker 1: promo comes out. What do you think? Well, I think
0:31
Speaker 1: it's like a very stereotypical at first. You know, the
0:34
Speaker 1: first half of the trailer is like the standard um
0:38
Speaker 1: voiceover of girls like, oh my god, I can't believe
0:40
Speaker 1: this is happening to me. My heart is broken. I
0:43
Speaker 1: want to lick him up and down. And then we
0:46
Speaker 1: get the good stuff because Hannah Brown, it looks like
0:51
Speaker 1: in the middle of the season comes in tells Peter
0:56
Speaker 1: about her lingering feelings for him possibly and he is like, oh,
1:02
Speaker 1: Hannah Brown. And of course the way they edit it
1:05
Speaker 1: makes it look like the girls are really annoyed to
1:08
Speaker 1: see her. It looks good, it looks really good. But
1:10
Speaker 1: I also saw that little tease that Hannah comes out
1:14
Speaker 1: of the limo all night one, So does that mean
1:16
Speaker 1: at least two Hannah appearances this season? I don't know.
1:20
Speaker 1: Let's see I I wonder now, Well, first off, let's
1:26
Speaker 1: let's pause for a second. Switch gears, congratulations to Hannah
1:29
Speaker 1: Brown and when he Dancing with the Stars. Uh, she's
1:32
Speaker 1: crushing her right now. And actually, I gotta ask you,
1:35
Speaker 1: is it weird for somebody that feels like she has
1:38
Speaker 1: the credibility Hannah has right now and it's kind of
1:41
Speaker 1: living her best life as we heard carry Anne and
1:44
Speaker 1: Armors say to go back onto the show. Well, I mean,
1:49
Speaker 1: let's figure out the timeline of this. I'm thinking that
1:53
Speaker 1: Peter's peers A premiere episode was filmed the last week
1:58
Speaker 1: of September, and that would have coincided with Hannah's first
2:03
Speaker 1: week or so of Dancing with the Stars, so she
2:05
Speaker 1: would have had no idea how far she was gonna go.
2:07
Speaker 1: At that point, she could have been eliminated on Dancing
2:09
Speaker 1: with the Stars Week one. Um. Sure, I think that
2:12
Speaker 1: a lot of people are gonna be like, Oh, hold
2:14
Speaker 1: yourself up to a higher standard. Don't go back to
2:17
Speaker 1: like somebody that you dum's and go back on the
2:20
Speaker 1: show as a non lead after you are a lead.
2:23
Speaker 1: I don't who's who's done that? Who's gone the show?
2:26
Speaker 1: Who's going on the show after they've been a lead? Anyone?
2:30
Speaker 1: I don't remember the contestant. I don't think anybody has
2:34
Speaker 1: come back as a contestant who was a lead. I did.
2:38
Speaker 1: I did on the Winter Games. That's the only time. Yeah,
2:43
Speaker 1: oh yeah, oh damn, maybe that Maybe you are the
2:47
Speaker 1: only one. How did you get anything for that? Not really,
2:55
Speaker 1: not really because Winter Games was such a new experience.
2:58
Speaker 1: Nobody knew what it was like, nobody had any idea. Now,
3:02
Speaker 1: I think it's different when you're going back onto the
3:04
Speaker 1: big show, you know, the one that matters. I don't know.
3:08
Speaker 1: I don't think it's bad. I remember when Nick Vile
3:11
Speaker 1: was on, was second on his season with Andy and
3:15
Speaker 1: then came back onto Caitlyn season and people were saying,
3:18
Speaker 1: move on, you've had your chance. My thought is this,
3:22
Speaker 1: who said we only are allowed one chance? Or who's
3:25
Speaker 1: anybody agree with that? Go back if you feel it,
3:29
Speaker 1: if you get a chance in Paradise, and you get
3:31
Speaker 1: multiple chances in Paradise. Honestly, because so many people go
3:34
Speaker 1: back for second seasons there that if you get second
3:38
Speaker 1: chances in Paradise, why can't you have second chances on
3:40
Speaker 1: the big show? We thought that Actilly did that as well,
3:43
Speaker 1: and I don't think anybody really frowned upon her for that,
3:46
Speaker 1: especially since watching you on Caitlyn season. I think she
3:51
Speaker 1: genuinely felt like something could work out between you guys,
3:54
Speaker 1: based on what she knew about him and possibly Hannah
3:58
Speaker 1: after what she went through with Jed is thinking that
4:02
Speaker 1: she really didn't make a mistake. Um letting Peter go,
4:07
Speaker 1: am I crazy? Here? Two thoughts here, actually, One is
4:10
Speaker 1: do I remember that Brad Willmack tried to come back
4:13
Speaker 1: onto Joejoe's season? That wasn't Brad, that was Jake Calvacco.
4:20
Speaker 1: Remember he didn't try. He was there because he was
4:23
Speaker 1: a family friend and he was there for moral support
4:27
Speaker 1: as somebody that you could coach you for guidance. But
4:30
Speaker 1: really it was for the trailer. It was for all
4:33
Speaker 1: the great pieces. They get people hyped up to see
4:36
Speaker 1: Jake Povacca come and beg to be part of the thing,
4:39
Speaker 1: but you know, it never really turns out the way
4:41
Speaker 1: that it's alluded to in the trailers. Yeah, that's a
4:46
Speaker 1: good point. And then the second thought is this that
4:51
Speaker 1: did Tyler Cameron or Peter get second, I forget why
4:54
Speaker 1: am I blanking this. Tyler got second. However, both Tiler
5:00
Speaker 1: and Peter were sent home in this same episode, which
5:03
Speaker 1: is why you're thinking that. Okay, so she's saying her
5:08
Speaker 1: feelings for Peter never wavered. She still has a kind
5:11
Speaker 1: of his like underlying feelings. Go back at it, because
5:14
Speaker 1: here's the thing I know is the chances that Peter
5:17
Speaker 1: ends up with somebody are fairly fairly high after he's
5:21
Speaker 1: the bachelor, So she feeling like he could be the one,
5:24
Speaker 1: and she wants to see it through. I can't hate
5:26
Speaker 1: her at all or hate on her at all for
5:28
Speaker 1: going back. I think, after the bazillion times on this podcast,
5:32
Speaker 1: and a big proponent, especially when it comes to well,
5:34
Speaker 1: when it comes to anything, but in this case love,
5:37
Speaker 1: don't let there be any what ifs, because you should
5:42
Speaker 1: go through life with as little as possible so you
5:45
Speaker 1: know that you like are firm, and each decision that
5:48
Speaker 1: you make, you know, just for everything to the fullest extent.
5:56
Speaker 1: Here's my concern actually, and I think that Peter season
6:00
Speaker 1: of a Bachelor is gonna be terrific. I've said that,
6:03
Speaker 1: I think that I believe it, but I always have
6:07
Speaker 1: a little hesitancy and and hear me out here. When
6:10
Speaker 1: I see a promo that kind of throws in some curveballs,
6:13
Speaker 1: like a hand of Brown showing up, or like Joejoe's
6:16
Speaker 1: season when Jake Povolca came up, I always think, was
6:20
Speaker 1: the season not gonna be interesting enough on its own
6:24
Speaker 1: that they had to throw in something like this to
6:26
Speaker 1: spark our interests? Was there not enough captivating footage and
6:30
Speaker 1: the season to make us want to watch? And I
6:33
Speaker 1: think that's my concerned watching this promo is, Hey, it's
6:35
Speaker 1: just like every other promo. You really aren't getting a
6:37
Speaker 1: lot from it. There's never really any truth to it.
6:40
Speaker 1: It just gets us sucked in and gets as excited again.
6:42
Speaker 1: But when you see a Jake PoCA come on the
6:45
Speaker 1: promo or a Hannah Brown, it makes me wonder, hey,
6:48
Speaker 1: did they have to do this just so we're interested? Okay,
6:52
Speaker 1: so I would say good point there, But if she
6:55
Speaker 1: really does come out of the limo on night one,
6:58
Speaker 1: that means that the whole season to even unfold yet,
7:01
Speaker 1: and they still want her there for that singer on
7:05
Speaker 1: night one. So you never know how a season is
7:08
Speaker 1: gonna unfold, even if you know a little bit about
7:11
Speaker 1: the cast personalities. So let's just go ahead and say
7:16
Speaker 1: Hannah is hot right now, and they want what's hot
7:19
Speaker 1: to stick around on their show. I get it. I
7:22
Speaker 1: get it. Well, Hey, after watching the promo, my takeaways
7:24
Speaker 1: this Peter looks good. He shows emotion, he shows smiles.
7:28
Speaker 1: The women are are obviously going to be drawn in.
7:31
Speaker 1: He feels like he's a great catch for any person.
7:35
Speaker 1: And so I think this is gonna be a great
7:37
Speaker 1: season because real love is going to be found or
7:39
Speaker 1: at least explored. And I believe after this promo, I
7:43
Speaker 1: am more and more excited to watch Peter Webber as
7:45
Speaker 1: the Bachelor. But let's move on for a second and
7:47
Speaker 1: celebrate Hannah. Separate her from coming onto the show. She
7:50
Speaker 1: is now the mirror ball holder. She was the champion,
7:53
Speaker 1: I would say, going into the finale, it was expected
7:56
Speaker 1: that she would win, right, Yeah, I happy then. I've
7:58
Speaker 1: never really want a full season of fantial Mother Stars.
8:02
Speaker 1: But from everything that I saw and heard, she was
8:06
Speaker 1: absolutely the front runner because every week I was hearing
8:09
Speaker 1: about her performance and I and nobody and nobody else,
8:12
Speaker 1: no other names were sticking out. Well, I were pumped
8:17
Speaker 1: for Hannah. She's she's obviously, I mean, we got a
8:21
Speaker 1: lot of people last night kind of got a message saying, hey,
8:24
Speaker 1: make sure you vote for Hannah. She's been through a
8:26
Speaker 1: lot this year. I know she's been through a lot.
8:28
Speaker 1: I know she's gotten her criticism. I know, you know,
8:31
Speaker 1: obviously the situation with Jed was unfortunate for her, but
8:34
Speaker 1: I also feel like Hannah Brown is definitely the phoenix
8:37
Speaker 1: rising to the top and living her best life right
8:39
Speaker 1: now and from all of us at almost from this podcast,
8:41
Speaker 1: congratulations Hannah. What an accomplishment, what a feat And I
8:45
Speaker 1: know it was not an easy journey. What a year
8:49
Speaker 1: she has had. It's unbelievable that girl is. Uh, she's
8:54
Speaker 1: cruising and she's working hard, and she's dominating. She's started dominating.
9:00
Speaker 1: She um. I think she might be the most popular,
9:02
Speaker 1: one of the most popular Bachelor contestants of all time.
9:06
Speaker 1: Maybe if not, here's the crazy part. Well, and remember Ashley,
9:10
Speaker 1: when we first started talking about Hannah, you had to
9:12
Speaker 1: convince me that she was going to be a good
9:14
Speaker 1: Bachelor because we had watched her on the first episode
9:17
Speaker 1: and everybody was like, this is gonna be terrible. She
9:19
Speaker 1: can't even talk, she's gonna be boring, this is gonna
9:22
Speaker 1: be goofy and you're like, no, I like her because
9:25
Speaker 1: she's real And look at where we sit now, I
9:29
Speaker 1: got good increased people. Anyway, a few more things I
9:35
Speaker 1: want to mention before we move on to this very
9:38
Speaker 1: exciting episode where we're going to answer all of the
9:41
Speaker 1: questions that you guys have sent in about the behind
9:45
Speaker 1: the scenes of Bachelor filming. One, Peter's hair looks great
9:50
Speaker 1: in the teether. Don't you think that? Like the criticism
9:53
Speaker 1: that he got for his hair. It's all it's all gone,
9:56
Speaker 1: it's all out the wayside because his haircut is looking amazing.
9:59
Speaker 1: Also loved this with his hair. Come on, everybody was
10:03
Speaker 1: talking about how his hair was just too boy Scout
10:06
Speaker 1: two squeaky clean. He looks like a little bit more hugged.
10:11
Speaker 1: That's a girl thing. Girl note. Okay, Number two. Piece
10:15
Speaker 1: of news that I want to discuss really briefly. It
10:19
Speaker 1: looks like Tyler Cameron may have moved on from Giuji
10:22
Speaker 1: with Kylie Jenner's best friend. Um naturally my mind right now,
10:28
Speaker 1: but she's very pretty and I think that he might
10:33
Speaker 1: have had a little outing with Kylie or Kendall this
10:37
Speaker 1: this weekend. So we gotta keep our eyes peeled for
10:40
Speaker 1: that romance. He's really he's getting all those young celebrity circles.
10:46
Speaker 1: Is it is her name Stacy Stossie, not upon another Stasie. Yeah, well,
10:56
Speaker 1: you know, I wonder what do you think about that?
10:59
Speaker 1: I mean, Tyler Cameron gets off the show, he obviously
11:02
Speaker 1: the gig hadid and now he's in that other circle.
11:05
Speaker 1: Is that just coincidence? Is that something he's interested by?
11:09
Speaker 1: What do you take take from that? I think it's
11:13
Speaker 1: I think it's obvious that he does like the celebrity,
11:17
Speaker 1: the celebrity that has come with his show fame, and
11:21
Speaker 1: that's not a bad thing. But he's definitely not trying
11:25
Speaker 1: to go back to a regular life in Florida or
11:29
Speaker 1: even a regular life running his charity. He he likes
11:33
Speaker 1: to live in the spotlight and he wants to do
11:36
Speaker 1: that right now and he's going to take full advantage
11:38
Speaker 1: of it. And that is totally fine. I know, like
11:41
Speaker 1: some people will be like, don't shame him for all that,
11:44
Speaker 1: and I'm not shaming him. I'm just saying that, like
11:46
Speaker 1: it's evident that he if he has the opportunity to
11:50
Speaker 1: date somebody a little famous, I think he might go
11:53
Speaker 1: for it. What do you think, Well, I mean, I
11:56
Speaker 1: think that's I think you're spot on. I think this
11:58
Speaker 1: whole world for him has exploded. When we talked him
12:01
Speaker 1: on the podcast at the very beginning, he was like, hey,
12:04
Speaker 1: you know, I don't even know what to expect next.
12:05
Speaker 1: I mean, who have you have thunk that? I don't know.
12:09
Speaker 1: How many months later now he is all over every
12:12
Speaker 1: news outlet for the people he's dating, for the circles
12:14
Speaker 1: he's running in. Uh. You know, if Hannah Brown is
12:17
Speaker 1: the biggest name to ever come from this show, uh,
12:20
Speaker 1: Tyler Cameron is definitely probably one of the most sought after.
12:23
Speaker 1: I would say, like I don't even know how to
12:24
Speaker 1: say celebrities from the show meeting on kind of like
12:27
Speaker 1: how recognizable he is now in the United States. I
12:31
Speaker 1: wonder if so, taking all this into consideration, do I
12:34
Speaker 1: think it's a smart move. I don't know. I don't
12:36
Speaker 1: know what he's wanting out of this, and I don't
12:38
Speaker 1: think either of us are claiming to know. I think
12:40
Speaker 1: the celebrity part of it is exciting. It's fun, it's
12:43
Speaker 1: a change, it's it's a little u fork, it's captivating.
12:47
Speaker 1: But here's what I wonder and we're only gonna know
12:50
Speaker 1: here soon because social media has really just kind of
12:53
Speaker 1: hit hits. It's run here in the last year or two. Uh,
12:58
Speaker 1: and the show is kind of now turned into more
13:00
Speaker 1: of a celebrity focused show. I wonder after Peter season,
13:04
Speaker 1: if we're going to see a similar reaction to The
13:06
Speaker 1: Bachelor Peter and how big of a name he becomes,
13:09
Speaker 1: and also one of his contestants are two of against
13:11
Speaker 1: contestants to see if they become real celebrities after the
13:16
Speaker 1: show as well. I don't know, We'll have to wait
13:18
Speaker 1: and see because we'd only have one season to really test.
13:21
Speaker 1: But I mean, even Colton season, you don't he has
13:26
Speaker 1: it peaked. I mean, Colton season doesn't have this kind
13:28
Speaker 1: of reaction, right, I Mean, Colton was known, but he
13:31
Speaker 1: wasn't as known as Hannah. And you know, his top
13:34
Speaker 1: three people were loved and Cassie's obviously loved by everyone,
13:37
Speaker 1: and Hannah is loved by everyone, but they aren't as
13:40
Speaker 1: recognizable as the Tyler Cameron's of the world. I wonder
13:44
Speaker 1: if this season we see a very similar theme happened.
13:48
Speaker 1: I don't know, we'll see. I mean, there were rumors
13:50
Speaker 1: flying that the Bachelor producers are trying to get away
13:54
Speaker 1: from girls that seemed like they were trying to get
13:57
Speaker 1: in it for social media and for fame. I don't
14:00
Speaker 1: know how you really read that out. I don't really
14:03
Speaker 1: think you can. But apparently they're trying and this is
14:08
Speaker 1: all hearsay, that they're trying to find girls that didn't
14:12
Speaker 1: already have a semi established social media page. All law
14:16
Speaker 1: Hannah ge who went in with like fifty followers. Yeah, no, Hey,
14:22
Speaker 1: this is a whole new world, one that you and
14:24
Speaker 1: I will be trying to understand as they go. We'll
14:26
Speaker 1: obviously be talking about it. It's gonna be talking about
14:29
Speaker 1: all season. We'll be talking about We'll be breaking down
14:31
Speaker 1: not only upcoming season of The Bachelor with Peter Weber,
14:35
Speaker 1: but also how these characters and people that are watching
14:38
Speaker 1: on TV, how they become even more of of celebrities
14:43
Speaker 1: after the show. There we'll talk to them, we'll get
14:45
Speaker 1: to know them throughout this season. But before we do
14:47
Speaker 1: all that, we do have to end this segment by
14:50
Speaker 1: just saying, Hey, congratulations, Hannah. It's a big deal. You
14:53
Speaker 1: want and actually and I could not be more excited
14:55
Speaker 1: for you. But coming up, we're gonna answer your questions.
15:07
Speaker 1: We're back, We're ready. We're talking vulnerability today, Actuley, I
15:12
Speaker 1: don't know what it is. Um, I'm a little I
15:16
Speaker 1: just got back from Portavar to Mexico, staying at the
15:19
Speaker 1: yats Eva down there for my buddy's wedding. It was
15:23
Speaker 1: a great wedding. My buddy Brian married his partner josh
15:28
Speaker 1: Um on the beach. It was beautiful and Jessica got
15:31
Speaker 1: to go and my family was down there. But it
15:34
Speaker 1: hit me the last day and actually, I want to
15:37
Speaker 1: know what you're feeling. I'm like a little like down
15:40
Speaker 1: right now, like I don't life. There's a great things
15:44
Speaker 1: happening tonight. My new restaurant actually opens up called Mr
15:48
Speaker 1: OsO in Denver night for me, um, And that's awesome, right,
15:54
Speaker 1: But yet I still feel like blah, Like I'm still
15:58
Speaker 1: like last night I had this like existential crisis where
16:01
Speaker 1: I was like, what is happening? Where is my life going?
16:04
Speaker 1: And is this just the time of year? Is it
16:06
Speaker 1: like seasons changing? Am I am? Am I Dunn? Actually
16:13
Speaker 1: what do you think? Okay? I think a couple of
16:15
Speaker 1: weeks ago, we talked about how just nostalgia in general, right,
16:19
Speaker 1: and I think that fall in the holiday season always
16:22
Speaker 1: brings nostalgia, which always makes you just think about your
16:26
Speaker 1: life and where it's headed a little bit more and
16:28
Speaker 1: think about your past a little bit more. So I
16:30
Speaker 1: think that's pretty to our normal, especially around this time
16:32
Speaker 1: of year. Um, I also kind of understand you. I
16:37
Speaker 1: think that you and I maybe we will be able
16:39
Speaker 1: to relate to this, where like most everybody else outside
16:42
Speaker 1: the Bachelor probably doesn't our life like you, Ben and
16:47
Speaker 1: I is the most calm in the fall, especially October November,
16:53
Speaker 1: when there's no Bachelor talk. We aren't doing the podcast
16:57
Speaker 1: as like machine like as usual. I'm doing so many
17:02
Speaker 1: less recaps all of that, and then I'm like, go go,
17:05
Speaker 1: go like crazy, like booked full time job, you know,
17:09
Speaker 1: all the other nine to ten months a year, but
17:12
Speaker 1: falls kind of like my summer. So I have been
17:15
Speaker 1: the past two weeks had like a lot of downtime,
17:18
Speaker 1: and I'm like, you should be. And I've been feeling
17:20
Speaker 1: really guilty about my downtime, which sucks because you would
17:24
Speaker 1: want to use it to relax. But now, like I
17:26
Speaker 1: feel like in our society, time to relax is not
17:31
Speaker 1: like looked at as a good thing. And for me,
17:33
Speaker 1: it gets me frustrated because I'm like, oh man, I
17:36
Speaker 1: should be working on something else. This means that like
17:38
Speaker 1: the end of this, at the end of my career
17:40
Speaker 1: is coming because I have downtime. But I always, like,
17:43
Speaker 1: I know, it always speeds up again. But these these
17:47

22:24
Speaker 1: When picking out rings for the proposal, does each girl
22:27
Speaker 1: pick out a few that she likes? Ashley on the Bachelor.
22:31
Speaker 1: When somebody is getting proposed to, do they pick out
22:35
Speaker 1: the rings? The girls do not pick out the rings,
22:39
Speaker 1: but they do tell a producer who will relay the
22:44
Speaker 1: message to the proposing man what kind of ring they like?
22:50
Speaker 1: There you simple answer, It is simple. I mean Neil
22:54
Speaker 1: Lane shows up to this house. I remember this, I
22:56
Speaker 1: was sitting there. He opens up a box full of
22:58
Speaker 1: ten rings. One of one of these rings is obviously
23:01
Speaker 1: the choice that you should be choosing, Like it's it's
23:03
Speaker 1: the biggest, most beautiful thing you ever did see, And
23:07
Speaker 1: he makes it pretty clear that that's the one you
23:09
Speaker 1: should choose. So really, like you said, the woman have
23:12
Speaker 1: no choice except that they do to the producer what
23:16
Speaker 1: they would like. And I think that ring is the
23:18
Speaker 1: one that stands out the most. So question for you, Um,
23:22
Speaker 1: there's a there's another guy usually proposing to the bachelorette,
23:26
Speaker 1: is the guy who she's not going to choose, And
23:29
Speaker 1: the producers, no, she's not going to choose. Um has
23:32
Speaker 1: like a ring that's not the kind of ring that
23:34
Speaker 1: she really wanted. They kind of like throw him off.
23:36
Speaker 1: I think, So, I think that's exactly what happens, isn't interest. Yeah, yes,
23:42
Speaker 1: so I think I think there's like I just don't
23:45
Speaker 1: think that he gets the hints that the other one does. Yeah,
23:49
Speaker 1: I guess you never only proposed once and you were
23:51
Speaker 1: the Bachelor, so it was a little different. But um,
23:55
Speaker 1: as far as the ring you were told, which ring,
23:59
Speaker 1: Lauren like I was, how did they how did they
24:02
Speaker 1: tell you? Um, you go around and be like I
24:05
Speaker 1: like this one, I like this one. I had like
24:07
Speaker 1: this one, and then he would be like, yeah, but
24:10
Speaker 1: that one, that one stands out to me, like does
24:14
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, it does. So it's it's he is
24:18
Speaker 1: pretty clear on what which one you should be like
24:21
Speaker 1: because I don't know I've had any clue how to
24:24
Speaker 1: pick up rings. I was just looking for something that
24:26
Speaker 1: seemed nice. Um, so it's pretty clear. It's pretty funny,
24:31
Speaker 1: all right. This is one that a lot of people,
24:34
Speaker 1: I think I ask and wonder as they watched The
24:36
Speaker 1: Bachelor from Sharon len Sharrows. Do they just buy groceries
24:39
Speaker 1: and everyone cooks for themselves or they order food for
24:41
Speaker 1: the contestants? Well, actually, I know you and I both
24:45
Speaker 1: are very passionate about this topic of food during and
24:51
Speaker 1: when you're in the mansion, I'll talk about this and
24:53
Speaker 1: actually I'll let you take it away. When you're in
24:55
Speaker 1: the mansion, you are responsible for cooking for yourself. Now
24:59
Speaker 1: there's always at one person that likes to do it
25:02
Speaker 1: for the whole group because either they're trying to be
25:03
Speaker 1: the hero or they're just a super good cook. But
25:06
Speaker 1: on Rose Ceremony nights, they have a caterer come in
25:10
Speaker 1: and heat up like hot dogs and hot pockets so
25:13
Speaker 1: that everybody eats those, which makes your breast smell awful
25:18
Speaker 1: as you talk to anybody. So that's the main sion
25:21
Speaker 1: you cook for yourself. Groceries or ordered, they're brought in um.
25:25
Speaker 1: And then on Rose Ceremony nights they do have a
25:27
Speaker 1: catered kind of like finger food dinner, and they also
25:31
Speaker 1: allow you to write in the kitchen what kind of
25:33
Speaker 1: grocers you want. There's like an ongoing grocery list to
25:36
Speaker 1: go and get them every like two or three days.
25:38
Speaker 1: Then they also have like CBS trips too for all
25:40
Speaker 1: the girls that need toilet trees, um. And then when
25:45
Speaker 1: you're out on the road and we're in hotels, there's
25:48
Speaker 1: like a buffet three times a day in whatever lounge
25:51
Speaker 1: they set up to be our designated cafeteria basically, and
25:55
Speaker 1: this is really when the Bachelor fifteen begins, because it's
26:00
Speaker 1: just a large it's a large buffet spread and the
26:05
Speaker 1: only thing you look forward to all day long when
26:07
Speaker 1: you're not on a on a date, and on the
26:09
Speaker 1: Bachelor that's pretty often, that's like every two of three days.
26:13
Speaker 1: So you look forward to your meals and you're looking
26:17
Speaker 1: at your watch being like is it is it meal
26:19
Speaker 1: time yet? And it's a nice camaraderie too, but you, um,
26:24
Speaker 1: when you're really just live, when you're being entertained by food,
26:28
Speaker 1: you really pilot it on and it's not the most
26:31
Speaker 1: healthy options. It's exactly what you think of when you
26:33
Speaker 1: think about buffet food. Yeah, all right, exactly right. Kimberly
26:39
Speaker 1: Benyak has a good one. What do the women in
26:41
Speaker 1: the house to do when they're not on the dates
26:43
Speaker 1: because they don't have TVs and they don't have phones.
26:45
Speaker 1: That was a good lead in could we eat? It's
26:53
Speaker 1: not false. I mean the guys are the same thing.
26:56
Speaker 1: We ate And I mean, actually, I don't know if
26:59
Speaker 1: you remember this on my season of The Bachelorette, Uh,
27:03
Speaker 1: the game there's like a lot of card games being played. Um,
27:07
Speaker 1: but you don't have books, you don't have like access
27:11
Speaker 1: to TV, internet or phones, and so it's a lot
27:14
Speaker 1: of like just talking life with so much around you,
27:18
Speaker 1: so much talking life, and you'd think that you get
27:20
Speaker 1: tired of it after a while, but I never did.
27:24
Speaker 1: I don't think I did either. I mean, I think
27:26
Speaker 1: there's moments where I think the first two weeks you're
27:30
Speaker 1: so nervous, and then once you get used to it,
27:32
Speaker 1: it's actually very kind of like freeing to be so
27:36
Speaker 1: focused on what's happening in your own life and you know,
27:40
Speaker 1: talking to your friends about your insecurity. He's are the
27:43
Speaker 1: things that you do or I mean, I got to
27:46
Speaker 1: know Jared so well during my season of The Bachelorette
27:51
Speaker 1: because he and I really connected on a different level
27:54
Speaker 1: and we got to talk through life. So you talk
27:57
Speaker 1: a lot, Yeah, you talk a lot, and if you
27:59
Speaker 1: need a loan time, you can go right in your journal,
28:03
Speaker 1: or you can fake a nap or take a real nap.
28:06
Speaker 1: I faked a nap a couple of times, just because
28:08
Speaker 1: I wanted to breathe and be like alone with my
28:11
Speaker 1: own thoughts and daydream a little bit, and then um,
28:16
Speaker 1: you know, you can take a shower. But we had
28:21
Speaker 1: our games. We didn't really have card games. I'm not
28:23
Speaker 1: a huge card game person, but I remember just playing
28:26
Speaker 1: heads Up a lot. So, um, a handler would give
28:29
Speaker 1: us a phone with the heads up app. You know,
28:32
Speaker 1: that's Ellen's game, and we play that a lot. And
28:36
Speaker 1: then we would play the post it note game, where
28:39
Speaker 1: you would put a posted note on somebody's forehead and
28:41
Speaker 1: they had to guess what like historical icon or celebrity
28:45
Speaker 1: that was on their forehead. And it was really fun.
28:47
Speaker 1: Like I was all about the postit note game every
28:49
Speaker 1: now was like, you guys, let's post it no game.
28:51
Speaker 1: I just love like yes and no twenty questions type games.
28:55
Speaker 1: That's fascinating, honestly, that's really interesting. Um, while we're on
28:59
Speaker 1: the subject of talk life with a fellow cont that
29:01
Speaker 1: this is from Abbey, do you get to choose your
29:03
Speaker 1: roommates or the rooms when you move into the mansion
29:06
Speaker 1: or when you're traveling? Yeah, it's this is This is
29:10
Speaker 1: a hard one because at times, right, I mean, there's
29:13
Speaker 1: obviously that the producers have an input on who you're
29:18
Speaker 1: staying with, but really that only comes into play at
29:21
Speaker 1: least during my time for the last four or five
29:24
Speaker 1: weeks of this season. For the most part, it is
29:27
Speaker 1: kind of whoever you want to room with as long
29:29
Speaker 1: as this person and you get along and it almost
29:33
Speaker 1: feels like elementary school all over again. When you're like
29:36
Speaker 1: on your way into the hotel and people start saying
29:39
Speaker 1: like you want to be my roommate, you will be
29:40
Speaker 1: my roommate, like kind of like you want to be
29:42
Speaker 1: my partnery, and you're just waiting for somebody to look
29:45
Speaker 1: at you and be like, hey, you want to be
29:46
Speaker 1: my roommate. And then it's the coolest and best feeling
29:49
Speaker 1: ums in elementary school. And that's kind of how it works. Yeah,
29:52
Speaker 1: and you don't know how many rooms are going to
29:54
Speaker 1: be there. There was this one time that Megan, mackenzie
29:58
Speaker 1: and I all shared one room and one of us
30:00
Speaker 1: got a cot so we had a king bed and
30:02
Speaker 1: a cot. Um. It's like a little nerve racking because
30:06
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, what if I get stuck with the villain,
30:08
Speaker 1: because a lot of people somebody has to share a
30:11
Speaker 1: room with the villain. Once you go on on tour
30:15
Speaker 1: and then um in the house. The first day you
30:18
Speaker 1: move in, they have your name tags on the bed
30:21
Speaker 1: and then so you're running through all the rooms trying
30:23
Speaker 1: to find your name tag. And then after a couple
30:26
Speaker 1: or so eliminations then girls or guys. I don't know
30:30
Speaker 1: about you. Guys. Actually girls started moving rooms because it
30:34
Speaker 1: would be empty bunks and then you'd end up, you know,
30:37
Speaker 1: being more with your friends. I heard this weekend actually
30:40
Speaker 1: that on Colton season they separated the youthful girls, like
30:44
Speaker 1: all the twenty three year olds were in one room
30:46
Speaker 1: and then all the old girls were in another room.
30:49
Speaker 1: So I think that they wanted to create that division. Interesting, yes,
30:54
Speaker 1: so there's like ways that they do it. You're not
30:57
Speaker 1: and and the other part of this is too A
30:59
Speaker 1: lot of it come down to like on the flights
31:02
Speaker 1: there to where you're traveling. I mean we fly in
31:05
Speaker 1: the back of the plane. Then they pick what your
31:08
Speaker 1: seats you're going to be in, and so a lot
31:10
Speaker 1: of like the partnership's friendships kind of like happened starting
31:13
Speaker 1: on the plane right over to your location. And then
31:15
Speaker 1: once you get the location, as actually saying, you just
31:18
Speaker 1: kind of fall in the place. In the rooms, I
31:21
Speaker 1: say in a couple of times because I roomed with
31:25
Speaker 1: Sean Booth and I've I mean, I don't know, I
31:29
Speaker 1: think I just had a better back or something. I
31:31
Speaker 1: always felt like I was always in a cot. I
31:35
Speaker 1: sometimes would choose a cot in that one case, because
31:38
Speaker 1: I just wanted to like kind of have my own
31:41
Speaker 1: individual spot, you know, like my own place, not to
31:45
Speaker 1: the share a bed. Isn't it weird? For is it
31:47
Speaker 1: weird for you guys to share a bed. It's a
31:50
Speaker 1: little different when girls have sleepovers, I don't think. So
31:55
Speaker 1: it never felt weird. The only part that felt weird
31:57
Speaker 1: to me was, like I just said, I've talked about
31:59
Speaker 1: before the podcast, like and I even thought I think
32:01
Speaker 1: I did. When Sean was on, it was like every
32:04
Speaker 1: night he was like he had a really hard go
32:06
Speaker 1: at it. This was not like his most ideal experience.
32:10
Speaker 1: So every night as he was like processing his feelings
32:12
Speaker 1: for Kaylin, I was the one that had to hear it.
32:14
Speaker 1: And I was also dating Caitlin at the time, so
32:16
Speaker 1: like it always felt weird to be in the same
32:19
Speaker 1: room as somebody that was dating the same girl as you.
32:21
Speaker 1: That was just a weird predicament. But no, I think
32:26
Speaker 1: when Sean and I did, we just we knew there
32:28
Speaker 1: was no other option. The interesting one was beck at
32:30
Speaker 1: Tilly in Joel Fletcher were roommates the whole entire time,
32:36
Speaker 1: and I mean they're still like best Friends Today and
32:39
Speaker 1: you could see that kind of friendship blossom on the show,
32:41
Speaker 1: which is really cool when friendships happened like that from
32:44
Speaker 1: the show. Yeah, that's really cool. Mark got new question,
32:56
Speaker 1: sure do, simple one from Emily Moshka. How many camera
33:00
Speaker 1: are typically on you at any given time? I would
33:03
Speaker 1: say probably three. There's probably like one or two, like
33:07
Speaker 1: one close up, one from a different further way angle,
33:10
Speaker 1: and then there's probably one on the corner of the
33:14
Speaker 1: ceiling as well. Then, would you agree, Yeah, I mean
33:17
Speaker 1: there's there's okay, so there's like one that's yeah, definitely
33:20
Speaker 1: on the ceiling. Three in maybe two or three in
33:23
Speaker 1: the room. It matters what you're at. Two if you're
33:25
Speaker 1: just in the house chilling and there's a date going
33:27
Speaker 1: on and you're not on it, it's probably just one
33:30
Speaker 1: or two people. Now, if you're on a one on
33:32
Speaker 1: one date, it's gonna be like eight to nine cameras, um,
33:37
Speaker 1: with like four people working each camera, so there's like
33:40
Speaker 1: forty people watching you. Um. Oh. And what about the
33:45
Speaker 1: gross ceremonies, that's when they have like twelve lined up
33:48
Speaker 1: twelve cameras with four people working each camera and other
33:53
Speaker 1: like handlers helping out if you're on a one on
33:55
Speaker 1: one day, I would say this, Actually, I bet there
33:59
Speaker 1: is at least sixty people watching on that day. Sixty
34:03
Speaker 1: you think, like, well, like yeah, but behind the scenes
34:06
Speaker 1: as well, like in the control room, think there's six
34:10
Speaker 1: bodies in front of you on the date. Though, actually
34:13
Speaker 1: you're right, you know, it's not far from that. It's
34:17
Speaker 1: a lot of people. Yeah, another you get used to
34:21
Speaker 1: it so like, I don't want this to sound like, oh,
34:24
Speaker 1: this is like distracting and oh my gosh, it's fake. No,
34:28
Speaker 1: like you get it's weird. How quickly you get used
34:31
Speaker 1: to having all these people watching you. Yeah, it's definitely
34:34
Speaker 1: not weird after a while. The only thing that I
34:36
Speaker 1: thought continued to stay weird after the four seasons was
34:42
Speaker 1: a one on one day in a dinner setting when
34:46
Speaker 1: you were like sitting at the table. It felt a
34:50
Speaker 1: little bit awkward because it's like the room would be
34:53
Speaker 1: so silent except for the two of you, and like
34:57
Speaker 1: a fork did you did that? Yeah? You agree with me? There,
35:02
Speaker 1: I feel, Yeah, I definitely agree with you. Here's the thing, though,
35:05
Speaker 1: you're the Bachelor's experience that a lot more than I did. Yeah, exactly,
35:10
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, like, that's what I got very
35:12
Speaker 1: used to it. The camera operators are incredibly good at
35:16
Speaker 1: staying silent and almost being unseen though. Like they it's
35:20
Speaker 1: a real funny thing to like if you ever do
35:22
Speaker 1: get the chance to watch them. They like dance, and
35:25
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't remember many times like looking out
35:28
Speaker 1: at the cameras, but they like to move and to operate.
35:31
Speaker 1: They're like doing this like very quiet slow dance around
35:35
Speaker 1: each other, and you it's hard to notice him. Yeah,
35:38
Speaker 1: I always felt so in an I t M. In
35:40
Speaker 1: an interview room, there's usually you, a producer, maybe three
35:44
Speaker 1: other people, and this is when I would always feel
35:47
Speaker 1: so accomplished. If I made a camera or an audio
35:51
Speaker 1: guy laughing there, then I was like if he laughed
35:54
Speaker 1: and he couldn't keep it in, then I just definitely
35:57
Speaker 1: got a sound bite there. Yeah. Remember Ashley during UM
36:02
Speaker 1: Winter Games when I asked to interview you because I knew, like,
36:07
Speaker 1: I don't think we've ever talked about this, but during
36:09
Speaker 1: Winter Games Ashley was kind of UM dating somebody during
36:13
Speaker 1: it mixed emotions. We never talked about this on air
36:17
Speaker 1: that you interviewed me and I interviewed you, but you
36:19
Speaker 1: definitely interviewed me far more in debt, but that was
36:22
Speaker 1: an in depth podcast. It was, and I went into
36:26
Speaker 1: the producer said, I want to talk to my friend
36:28
Speaker 1: Ashley because there's some stuff going on. What I really
36:30
Speaker 1: wanted to tell you. And I don't know if you
36:31
Speaker 1: remember this, but we were sitting up in the locker room.
36:34
Speaker 1: You were struggling with a few things, and I remember going,
36:37
Speaker 1: does any of this point you back to Jared. I
36:40
Speaker 1: don't know if you remember that, and you're like, I
36:42
Speaker 1: think we're just friends. I think we're good. Good and
36:44
Speaker 1: moved on from that, and I just could tell that
36:48
Speaker 1: you were not your full self and that there was
36:50
Speaker 1: something missing. And look at you know, I know I
36:52
Speaker 1: lied to myself so much throughout that experience. Yeah, well
36:57
Speaker 1: I get it, but I get it. I get why.
36:59
Speaker 1: But no. So anyways, that's behind the scenes of how
37:02
Speaker 1: the cameras operate, Miranda. Sure, at what point are the
37:06
Speaker 1: hometown day it's actually chosen so they can start scoping
37:09
Speaker 1: the town's out and planning things. There's no way they
37:11
Speaker 1: actually pulled everything together with a couple of days notice.
37:14
Speaker 1: So I was eighth place on Chris Soul season. Um
37:19
Speaker 1: the fault, like the week the week that I was eliminated,
37:22
Speaker 1: they he eliminate, he eliminated it down to six girls.
37:26
Speaker 1: So that week before the top six is when they
37:30
Speaker 1: start talking to you about what you would do at
37:32
Speaker 1: your hometown, because I did have a meeting with one
37:34
Speaker 1: of the producers about what would happen at my hometown. Well,
37:38
Speaker 1: and for me on Caitlin's season different. You know, I
37:41
Speaker 1: was let I like going third, and they had asked me,
37:45
Speaker 1: you know what I was gonna do. They talked to
37:46
Speaker 1: my family. My family knew I was coming, and then
37:49
Speaker 1: hometowns got canceled. I really do think it's about like
37:53
Speaker 1: actually said like that sixth, so like maybe a week
37:55
Speaker 1: and a half before they finalized down the four, they
37:58
Speaker 1: start talking to the families, start prepping for that day.
38:01
Speaker 1: But it is pretty quick. I mean that's one thing
38:03
Speaker 1: that we The Bachelor is very good at throwing some massive,
38:07
Speaker 1: really cool things together with really short notice. Yeah, my
38:10
Speaker 1: mom was like, let me know, so I can buy
38:13
Speaker 1: all new furniture. My parents bought brand new outdoor furniture
38:19
Speaker 1: when I was on the batch and I didn't even
38:20
Speaker 1: come home. I didn't even come home, but you did
38:23
Speaker 1: go home on the Bachelor with Emily did So. Was
38:27
Speaker 1: the furniture showed off? Oh you gotta believe that's the
38:30
Speaker 1: very first scene when I walk up on that show
38:33
Speaker 1: and my parents sitting in their new furniture. Yeah. I
38:37
Speaker 1: have one other thing to add Uh. Your season with Caitlin,
38:42
Speaker 1: you your your hometowns were canceled. Did you know that
38:46
Speaker 1: you were supposed to go to Patagonia the top three
38:49
Speaker 1: Top three? That would have been really awesome. Yeah, you
38:53
Speaker 1: were supposed to go there. I found this out leave too.
38:57
Speaker 1: I think the reason that hometowns were canceled that that
38:59
Speaker 1: year was because of weather something like that. I do
39:04
Speaker 1: remember that there's big storms in Patagonia and then in
39:07
Speaker 1: South America, and I heard a rumor going to South America,
39:10
Speaker 1: which was great because I had just lived in Peru,
39:12
Speaker 1: and so I was like, oh, cool, we're gonna like
39:14
Speaker 1: if we go back to my like Peru, this, I'm
39:16
Speaker 1: gonna be thriving. Um, Jared didn't gonna hometown because of it,
39:22
Speaker 1: and I'm glad he didn't. I'm like, I'm glad I'm
39:25
Speaker 1: a Bachelor girl that you brought home. Oh that's sweet,
39:33
Speaker 1: all right. Mark. Jenny has a question for the lead.
39:35
Speaker 1: How does the lead remember the names of all the
39:37
Speaker 1: people he or if she was calling at the road ceremony,
39:39
Speaker 1: especially the first few nights. But I think you've touched
39:41
Speaker 1: on this before I have. UM, Well, first off, you
39:46
Speaker 1: want to try your best to remember everybody's name because
39:49
Speaker 1: it's happened in past seasons where a bachelor bachelor has
39:53
Speaker 1: messed up a name and then it's just funny awkward TV.
39:55
Speaker 1: So you want to really do your best to remember
39:57
Speaker 1: the names. People want to say like there's an name
40:00
Speaker 1: tags or it's written on your hand. It's not. It's
40:02
Speaker 1: not written on anything. Um. But if you forget, UM,
40:07
Speaker 1: you either sit there in it or I like to
40:11
Speaker 1: just take a break and I just take a deep breath,
40:14
Speaker 1: maybe take a walk away, regroup, rethink about the names. Um.
40:19
Speaker 1: But that's it. You really have to kind of do
40:21
Speaker 1: like some some memory tricks to memorize those names, or
40:26
Speaker 1: it's going to be awkward for everybody. Impressive, Come on,
40:31
Speaker 1: give us some credit. It's impressive. The job, it is impressive.
40:35

43:14
Speaker 1: I was so thankful for the arrival of this Casper.
43:20

45:27
Speaker 1: lead question, when you travel, did the lead fly on
45:29
Speaker 1: the same plane as all the other contestants? Oftentimes? Oh
45:34
Speaker 1: only once? Wait, your souls traveled on the same plane
45:38
Speaker 1: as you guys? He did? I think on the way
45:41
Speaker 1: to Um, New Mexico. That's wild. No, So I would
45:47
Speaker 1: always travel a day beforehand to do like b role
45:50
Speaker 1: Um and to walk through the town before the girls
45:53
Speaker 1: got there. And the only time I did fly on
45:57
Speaker 1: the same plane it was to Jamaica, and Kayla Quinn
46:00
Speaker 1: wrote me a letter and gave it to the stewardess
46:03
Speaker 1: to give to me. And one of the producers saw
46:06
Speaker 1: it happen and actually came and took it off of
46:09
Speaker 1: my like I had it in my book, and I
46:10
Speaker 1: was reading it while I was in my book, and
46:12
Speaker 1: I felt like I was like a little kid in
46:14
Speaker 1: elementary school getting caught because I was reading it. The
46:17
Speaker 1: producer came and took it from me as I was
46:19
Speaker 1: reading it. And I don't know if I ever saw
46:21
Speaker 1: it so not very often. No, okay, so I thought
46:25
Speaker 1: it actually happened pretty often, but I'm I'm obviously not
46:30
Speaker 1: the one educated on this. Well. And here's the thing,
46:33
Speaker 1: here's the funny part, and it's I don't know if
46:35
Speaker 1: this is good or bad, but the lead sits first class.
46:39
Speaker 1: The cast sits in the back of the plane either way,
46:42
Speaker 1: even if they're not on the same plane. Yeah, I know,
46:45
Speaker 1: that's that's the image that I had in my head,
46:47
Speaker 1: which is why I thought it happened often, because the
46:49
Speaker 1: most vivid image I have of traveling is Chris sitting
46:51
Speaker 1: in the first class and us walking by him. I
46:59
Speaker 1: don't even get the flame to walk in the middle.
47:01
Speaker 1: That's the best, because they have to see the people
47:02
Speaker 1: in first class. You can walk through. Caitlin Rusky, only McNicol,
47:07
Speaker 1: great name, bravo on that. What is on the famous
47:10
Speaker 1: packing lift? And how do you possibly fit everything into
47:12
Speaker 1: two suitcases? So I saw this question right in front
47:16
Speaker 1: of me on our rundown, and I looked in my
47:19
Speaker 1: Gmail and I don't delete anything, and I found my
47:21
Speaker 1: packing list back that I was sent in two thousand
47:25
Speaker 1: and fourteen. The date is September four fourteen. Damn, talk
47:30
Speaker 1: about nostalgia, all right, it's crazy as five years ago?
47:36
Speaker 1: Should I read? Should I read it all? And might?
47:38
Speaker 1: Is Warner going to kill me? Um? No, it's a
47:45
Speaker 1: packing list? Okay, So photo ID and passport valid through
47:51
Speaker 1: May two fifteen, your cell phone, evening gown, cocktail dresses.
47:55
Speaker 1: They don't give you a number, um, but they do
47:58
Speaker 1: say they say everything has to fit in two check suitcases,
48:02
Speaker 1: a carry on bag, in a garment bag if necessary,
48:05
Speaker 1: so then we have casual evening clothes, casual day clothes,

Speaker 1: robe or a cover up with slippers if desired, pajamas
48:48
Speaker 1: and undergarments. One pair of sunglasses. However, sunglasses are not
48:52
Speaker 1: to be worn on camera. Sunscreen, prescription medicines and original
48:56
Speaker 1: bottles and refilled any un any necess sarah over the
49:00
Speaker 1: counter medications, personal items including makeups, gin care products, body
49:04
Speaker 1: and hair products, and anything you can't live without. But
49:07
Speaker 1: please keep in mind that these are all limitated. These
49:11
Speaker 1: are all limited to two suitcases on my do not
49:16
Speaker 1: bring cameras, do not bring clothing with exterior logos. Yeah
49:20
Speaker 1: this this, I just want to pause you there for
49:22
Speaker 1: a second. Actually, intell you, this packing list is famous,
49:25
Speaker 1: so keep going. But this is a famous packing way. Yeah,
49:30
Speaker 1: I mean, like, it's so ridiculous. They literally say pack
49:33
Speaker 1: for everywhere on earth and keep it to two suitcases
49:36
Speaker 1: and make sure that you have enough to wear for
49:40
Speaker 1: two whole months. So nuts, Okay, I'll continue. No I
49:44
Speaker 1: pod or music devices, no computers or iPads, no chunky necklaces.
49:51
Speaker 1: Um those interfere with sound. So there was one time
49:54
Speaker 1: on christ this season I insisted on wearing my chunky
49:58
Speaker 1: turquoise necklace. Was so beautiful, so Pocahonnis like, and they
50:03
Speaker 1: were like, actually, we cannot, we cannot, not like I must.
50:06
Speaker 1: It was my only Diva moment. And I taped it
50:09
Speaker 1: down with like a whole bunch of double sided tape.
50:12
Speaker 1: We're done. That's it. Yeah, that's it. That's Itaculous. There
50:17
Speaker 1: you go. You've got the famous packing list. I'm sure
50:19
Speaker 1: it's changed because there was luggage in there. About iPods,
50:23
Speaker 1: I don't don't exist anymore, but yeah you get the idea.
50:27
Speaker 1: All right, Mark, all right, let's see here. How about
50:30
Speaker 1: um Abby was wondering is there any place in the
50:32
Speaker 1: mansion off limits? The cameras the bathroom, Yeah, they're very respectful.
50:38
Speaker 1: Like I never ever in my time felt that anybody
50:42
Speaker 1: was invading my space to a level that was like, um, inappropriate.
50:47
Speaker 1: So yeah, the bathrooms, I think, um, that's probably about it.
50:52
Speaker 1: Everyplace else, like if you were doing something, they had
50:55
Speaker 1: the right to come watch you. Yeah, and the bathroom
50:58
Speaker 1: people are going to say, like, what were I've seen
51:00
Speaker 1: shots of the girls doing their makeup and hair in
51:02
Speaker 1: the bathroom. Yeah, I mean they'll say camera coming in
51:07
Speaker 1: to do b role for roads ceremony or date prep.
51:11
Speaker 1: But like they're never going to go into the toilet still,
51:13
Speaker 1: you know, or if somebody's in the shower, they're not
51:16
Speaker 1: going in. And there's actually a bathroom in the living
51:20
Speaker 1: room of the mansion, like when you see everybody sitting
51:22
Speaker 1: in there, there's a bathroom, like right off the side.
51:25
Speaker 1: I would use off the especially, yes, especially during roast,
51:28
Speaker 1: especially when I was nervous. I'd go in there and
51:30
Speaker 1: get a breath real quick to make sure everything was good.
51:33
Speaker 1: That was the most private bathroom because like it had
51:36
Speaker 1: a door and a lock, and it wasn't attached to
51:38
Speaker 1: a bedroom, so like nobody was going in there and
51:41
Speaker 1: just leaving the door open or whatnot. So that was
51:43
Speaker 1: the bathroom that I would always go shower in because
51:45
Speaker 1: I knew I could actually have private time. The other
51:48
Speaker 1: bathrooms girls like are kind of going in, getting out
51:51
Speaker 1: and getting ready all the time, or like some girl
51:53
Speaker 1: will be in the in the bathroom, one will be
51:56
Speaker 1: in the tub. They want to be on a shower.
51:58
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, no, I just like need privacy right now,
52:00
Speaker 1: So I would always go in that one, agreed. Sharon asks,
52:04
Speaker 1: when you're in a different country, are you allowed to
52:06
Speaker 1: leave the hotel if you're not on a date, no
52:11
Speaker 1: light seeing you're not, then you want well, I mean,
52:15
Speaker 1: so there's there's like a day typically where a producer
52:20
Speaker 1: will have the ability to take you out. So it
52:24
Speaker 1: doesn't always happen, but if things work out the way
52:26
Speaker 1: they typically do, you'll get one day to you always
52:29
Speaker 1: do a b roal day, so you're walking around doing
52:32
Speaker 1: the sites, seeing the things that are like cool to
52:35
Speaker 1: the city, and then there's a b roal day where
52:40
Speaker 1: um or that's the be real day, and then the
52:42
Speaker 1: end of the week sometimes you just get a free
52:44
Speaker 1: day to kind of like regroup as the bachelor. Bachelor's
52:47
Speaker 1: traveling and the cast can go look, but no, for
52:50
Speaker 1: the most part, you're on lockdown and you're in a
52:53
Speaker 1: hotel and it's there's like, maybe some time to work out,
52:58
Speaker 1: But for the most part, we're doing what we talked
52:59
Speaker 1: about earlier. We're talking, we're eating, we're sleeping. Yeah, but yeah,
53:04
Speaker 1: I would say I mean for us, at least we
53:06
Speaker 1: didn't try. We were like the least traveling season and
53:10
Speaker 1: the girls in the spots that I were, I was at.
53:13
Speaker 1: We had a day of exploration. But of course it's
53:15
Speaker 1: together as a group and with producers. It's not like
53:18
Speaker 1: you get to go like out and be like, you know,
53:20
Speaker 1: we're gonna go to that local Paris cafe for lunch,
53:23
Speaker 1: see you guys later. Yeah, no, never quick one from Caitlin.
53:29
Speaker 1: Has anyone ever sneaked a cell phone out of the
53:31
Speaker 1: show that you know of? So many people have. One
53:34
Speaker 1: time in Paradise, I think my sister walked in on
53:38
Speaker 1: Tenley on her iPad on the toilet and she was like,
53:45
Speaker 1: Oh my god, don't tell, Please don't tell. That's hilarious. Yeah,
53:50
Speaker 1: I think it happens quite a bit. Yeah, my sister
53:52
Speaker 1: her cu snug her phone in for paradise. Yeah, I
53:56
Speaker 1: never did that. Um, I do know that happened. I
53:59
Speaker 1: found and I was in Portland, Oregon, Um, during my
54:02
Speaker 1: season The Bachelor, and I stayed in a hotel room
54:05
Speaker 1: that had the iPad controlled like the temperature, the TV,
54:09
Speaker 1: all that the hotel room. And I took that and
54:11
Speaker 1: got on the internet and I googled everybody that was left. Um.
54:15
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever said this. I kind of
54:17
Speaker 1: forgotten that I was able to like so unlike you.
54:20
Speaker 1: I know, I was able to read like the next
54:22
Speaker 1: place we were going. Um, I was able to like
54:26
Speaker 1: read up on the girls. Um, I definitely did that.
54:30
Speaker 1: I was able to like see like like somebody had
54:32
Speaker 1: interviewed my parents in passing and I was able to
54:35
Speaker 1: hear what their comments were about the whole thing. So yeah,
54:38
Speaker 1: it was. It was actually one of the most I
54:41
Speaker 1: felt like I was doing something wrong, and I definitely
54:43
Speaker 1: felt like they were watching me to catch me in
54:45
Speaker 1: the act. But now they were so rebellious and like,
54:49
Speaker 1: even though there's a phone in the hotel room, you know,
54:52
Speaker 1: just like a regular hotel room phone, I've always I
54:55
Speaker 1: was always tempted to call my parents from it, just
54:58
Speaker 1: to like say, hi, I not even to like get
55:00
Speaker 1: illegal info, but I was too scared to even pick
55:03
Speaker 1: up the phone for some reason. What are they gonna do? Eliminating?
55:08
Speaker 1: And actually you're not going to be on this season
55:10
Speaker 1: anymore because you're so scared. Yeah, Like it's literally you
55:13
Speaker 1: want to see thirty year old, thirty five year old
55:18
Speaker 1: I don't know people acting like they're in elementary school again,
55:21
Speaker 1: go watch the show. Everybody turns into like scared little
55:25
Speaker 1: puppies and everybody like just like worries about like what
55:30
Speaker 1: you know, mommy and daddy are going to find Yeah,
55:32
Speaker 1: my sister. If you guys remember all the way back
55:35
Speaker 1: in season two of Paradise, so she was dating someone
55:39
Speaker 1: back at home and she just couldn't well, she was
55:43
Speaker 1: not exclusive with him. In fact, if you remember all
55:45
Speaker 1: the sloppiness to it, he actually had a girlfriend. We
55:49
Speaker 1: don't have to go there. But she didn't want to
55:52
Speaker 1: be disc you know, not communicating with him throughout the
55:56
Speaker 1: weeks that she was there. So she sneaks in her
55:59
Speaker 1: phone and somehow the dumbass forgot to charge her to
56:04
Speaker 1: her phone. So when her phone ends up dying, you know,
56:09
Speaker 1: like forty eight hours in, she went. She went to
56:12
Speaker 1: one of the producers and she was like, Okay, so
56:14
Speaker 1: here's the deal. I have my phone, I need a charger.
56:18
Speaker 1: I need a charger or I'm leaving. And he was like, Lauren, Lauren, Lauren,
56:23
Speaker 1: and they wanted her to stick around. So they kind
56:26
Speaker 1: of well, I shouldn't go into anymore. But the person
56:29
Speaker 1: the producer is no longer there, so it's not like
56:31
Speaker 1: they can get in trouble. But uh, they ended up
56:34
Speaker 1: keeping her phone and she was allowed to check it
56:35
Speaker 1: every couple of days just because she was such good entertainment.
56:38
Speaker 1: They don't frisk you with their new body cavity searchers.
56:40
Speaker 1: It's just not that serious. It's not that hard to
56:42
Speaker 1: do it. So I was like, um, you'd have to
56:44
Speaker 1: bring up burner phone because you'd have to see. That's
56:46
Speaker 1: what my sister did. So she brought two phones, her
56:49
Speaker 1: old iPhone and her real iPhone, and she handed off
56:53
Speaker 1: an old iPhone because they definitely take them. They're like,
56:58
Speaker 1: we need your phone, we know you have a phone. Uh, Sarah,
57:03
Speaker 1: do the contestants and the lead have access to a
57:05
Speaker 1: therapist during and after the show? That's Sarah Kulfiff, definitely, Yeah,
57:10
Speaker 1: they do a great job with that. There is always
57:12
Speaker 1: somebody available to talk to if you need them. They
57:16
Speaker 1: travel with the show, they're around the show. So yes, yes,
57:19
Speaker 1: and back in the day, I loved our therapist. She
57:23
Speaker 1: was so easy to talk to, and I remember season
57:27
Speaker 1: three of Paradise I really utilized her a lot, like
57:30
Speaker 1: I had my devoted time with her. Alright, guys, well
