  Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Hey everyone, welcome to the Almost Says Podcast. We have
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: reached the end of the hd TV renovation show. The
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Bachelor Mansion is now complete, guys, and we're gonna break
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: it all down for you. It is complete for a
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: season that will not air and we do not know
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: when the mansion will be utilized.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: And spoiler alert.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Ben and I saw that first episode of Taylor's season
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: and it looked like they put some things back.
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: They did, didn't it. It did kind of seem like
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: that to me.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: They did.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: They put the candle wall back distinctively, I don't. And
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: I remember seeing the mural the one that kitchen for
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: the kitchen was like old.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: School kitchen, right yeah, yeah, okay.
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: I thought they liked it. Looked there is nothing different.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: I didn't love the way they made the kitchen look
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: like it was too modern for me. Again, like I
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: really wanted them to stay like rustic Spanish style.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: But well, that's at the end of the episode. Let's
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: we got to start. At the beginning of this episode,
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: Dean is still around, obviously. We have four contestants. At
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: the beginning of this episode, we find out that they're
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: going to do some mystery challenge. It's the boxes come
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: back out to eliminate one person.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: This was the worst decision they had madded the entire show.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: It was. It's unfortunate. It is because, like I don't know,
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: I kind of feel like, now what the Dean desert.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: It's kind of like the loser's bracket, right, you have
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: to beat the winner twice to go home, but instead
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: now Dean just goes home. It feels like this whole
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: show has been too subjective to me. There's no like,
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: there's no consistency in the format. Yeah, I don't understand
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: how people go home when they go home? Who likes what?
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: I mean? Half the times when the judges say something,
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: I'm like, I actually liked it the other way, you know.
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I know.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: And like you're telling me that Tammy, who was a
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: limited in the season, now gets to come back in
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: because of a challenge. Yeah, and now Dean gets to
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: be eliminated and get hurt. She gets to defeat him,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: and he gets to be eliminated by like a game challenge,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: like a puzzle challenge, like a memory game. It was
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: a memory game. Yeah, it doesn't make any sense. It
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: has nothing to do with their craft.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: I think when this show was announced, you and I
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: both were very excited for it. It has so much potential.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: And there's a few things during this episode I love.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: There's a few things about the season I loved. There's
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: other things that really frustrated me. One of the things
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: that frustrated me was it felt like I was trying
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: to play catch up throughout the whole season. I don't
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: I never knew why people were going home. I sometimes
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: didn't agree with the judge's decision making on what they
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: liked and didn't like. And then when it comes down
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: to this moment, the climax, the biggest moment one of
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: the season, all of a sudden, somebody goes home based
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: on a memory game that has nothing to do with
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: this skill set of.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Design, right, Like, why that makes no sense?
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: But we have to get over it, because that's just
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: how it happens. And is really a shame that you
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: and I lost our you know, we lost our friend
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Dean over it in this competition.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: I don't know the other two. I don't know him,
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: so I can't even say but like, it's not even
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: losing Dean Ashley. I mean, it's more fair every week.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: I felt like this has kind of happened where it's like, wait, whoa,
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: now somebody else is going home and anyways.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Anyways, I guess you know what, we could twist it
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: because Dean won that first challenge on episode one, he
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: got the community and then he ended up creating the
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Santorini Room, which he would have definitely been eliminated for.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: He would have probably is it was it that bad?
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: The Santorinni room was just not that good?
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: Okay?
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, So let's see, after this challenge, the three of them,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: which is Noah, Sam, and Tammy are going to all
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: redo another room that has been They're going to redo
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: a room that's already been redone a room. Well, I
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: guess Tammy's wasn't, so that was kind of weird too.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: So Sam gets to make edits to the Santorini room,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: which obviously makes sense. The season really couldn't have been
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: filmed in the Santuren room. It would have been like,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: this is distracting to this scene. Then there were definitely
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: issues in the family room whatever.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: What's the room that they call that. I like to
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: call it the family room.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: The gathering room, So that room had some inconsistencies because
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: there's like six people working on one room, mixer room,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: that's what they call it.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: So I understood why Noah was taking that over.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: And I'm glad that Noah got that project because no
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: it did such a good job in that room with
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: that marble backdrop. They said that they want to like
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: something to draw the eye up, so he put in
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: a shelf in this scene. And he definitely fixed the
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: place that Joan put too much.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: They said Joan put too money textures in one area.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: I totally agreed.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: So he cleaned that up and he also added better
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: furniture because Dean when he decorated that room only put
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: two couches in. They were like smaller feeling couches, and
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: we definitely need that an area for the whole group
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: to fit in. So I liked all of those fixes
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: that they were able to make. Tammy getting the halt
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: like the entrance away of the foyer, it was kind
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: of weird that she got to just do something fresh
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: start and not have to fix anything.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: What'd you think about that?
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: Agreed?
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like what she got like a fresh slate and
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: all she's gonna do is really paint the walls. I
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: didn't love the white again didn't stick to me with
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: a Spanish style.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: Is it Spanish style anymore?
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know that's what it is now. It's just confused.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Now the house is just confused. The bones are rusted,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Spanish style Mediterranean and then we have some elements of modern.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: Modern with a mix of like Mediterranean with it. I mean, Ashley,
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: then like, what are we doing? I don't know.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: But the wood popped.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: I liked the fact that the lighter walls and it
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: wasn't like a bright yellow made the wood pop.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: The wood is beautiful.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: I would have gone on something a little bit more
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: like a beigy tone instead.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Of a bright white.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: But she added benches and I liked the added of
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: the added benches because it is a nice little area
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: in the shuffle of all things on Rose Ceremony night
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: to kind of just.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Like pop squat.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: There any other thoughts, I mean I thought she did Yeah,
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: I think she did great. I'm with you. What did
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: she do though? She painted a wall and put benches in. Noah,
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: covered up some marble. You know that that mixer room
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: is very confused because you had multiple people working on
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: it once and I think that's one of the things
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: I'm taking from the show is if they're redoing the
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: like a massive room and a bedroom, these are supposed
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: to be. I just think there's too many like cooks
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: in the kitchen, and I think we see that at
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: the end. I think that's probably something the producers ended
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: up talking about, is we needed to get a lead.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: We needed to figure out how to have people in
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: charge making the decisions because there's there's so many individually
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: good ideas that are trying to fit into one space,
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: and none of the ideas are consistent with each other. Right.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: I don't hate Jones idea. Joan had a beautiful idea,
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: but then mixed in with a mid century modern wall
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: next to it and smaller furniture and a massive kind
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: of useless like wet bar, it becomes very confusing. I
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: don't like them either, So it's just what I'm saying,
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: it just doesn't fit right. I mean, they did some
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: good stuff in the house, but really what this episode
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: should be called is redoing everything we've done up until
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: this point.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: They didn't touch the roads ceremony room.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: They sure did for the show though, and we saw
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: that they sit up. Let's backtrack a little bit.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Really there, because everything is subjective, it's hard to keep
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: a consistency throughout this show. Because even if we were
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: to change the format where it was like, we're going
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: to have one person redew this room and one person
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: redo this room, and the winner of this room gets
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: to move on to the next round, that's probably would
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: have made the most sense if they didn't go with
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: a point system. But like at the end of the day,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: decorating things is often subjective, so it is hard to
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: just make a contest over it, especially when you're working
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: on something that has history to it, pop culture history
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: and sent of mental value.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: I didn't hate watching this show. I enjoyed it. I
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: think the characters were great. I just I think sometimes
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: the episodes got confusing on how they were kind of
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: shown and the overall judge's opinions sometimes I disagreed with.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: But yet they just jumped in and whoever they liked said, hey,
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: your idea is the best. I mean, ultimately, like Noah
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: did do a great job with that room. Sam drew
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: the shortened like the short straw there. He had to
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: fix a bedroom that was tiny. What was he really
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: gonna do. I mean, it was mostly just necessary some
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: new paint colors, so getting outside of a comfort zone
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: was going to be hard. You had twenty four hours.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: It's like, Okay, what are we gonna do in twenty
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: four hours? We're gonna paint change colors?
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: How in the world do they paint that foyer in
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: twenty four hours? All the way up.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: That's the magic of TV, it really is. And my
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: takeaway is that the best episode, the thing that truly
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: enhanced the mansion was the outdoor episode one the backyard
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: that really added things.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: I would agree with that. There were some great takeaways
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: and everybody did step up, and it did feel like
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: everybody enjoyed the show. We do need to pause for
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: a second, though, because Sam ends up going home from this.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: It's not like there's not a lot more to it.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: He goes home because they chose Tammy's ideas and her
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: workmanship and Noah's and then we get into the like
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: they do bring us into the backstories at Tammy and Noah,
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: both of them are very vulnerable. It's obviously one hundred
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: thousand dollars. That's a good chunk of change. Noah shares
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: about how he's going through his home renovation with his
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: wife Abigail, and they are they would love to have
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: the money to finish the projects. Tammy shares about her
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: kind of upbringing and things decisions she made, things placed
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: on her, and how she would use the money to
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: repay back some people in her past that have helped
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: her out a ton. We also see that they're too
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: you know. Well, the wife and the boyfriend come back
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: to support them. Here's where I think like the major
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: talking point of the episode exists is Noah's open up
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: about his mom. We had an idea that he got
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: a phone call early on the season that his mom
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: was sick and not doing well.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Well, we knew that there was a family something going on,
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: we didn't know that we could gather well. I also
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: didn't put two and two together. I didn't realize, oh,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: you knew that his mom.
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: Passed well, he had posted about on social media.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: I know, and I didn't. I don't remember seeing that.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: And I was just reminded before we recorded this podcast
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: that he did post that his mom passed in October.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: And I just am so so sad because while watching
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: this episode, because there was no dedication to her in
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: the beginning or end, I figured that she was still alive.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: And now I'm really like, I'm super bummed out that
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: she didn't get to see Noah win this. I'm glad
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: that she encouraged him to do it. I'm just really
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: sad for a little and for of course to Noah,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: for the loss of his mom.
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: It's like just so sad.
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: It is is it's really like a really hard thing
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: to watch. And I think the question that viewers or
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: I had was no, ready you go home? And he
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: responds to that, and I think it's a really beautiful
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: moment where he said his mom raised them to finish
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: the jobs they started and he hopes that she gets
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: to watch the episodes to see him finish. Now we
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: know that that did not happen, but I'm sure she
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: did get to hear that he won the show. Yeah,
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: received one hundred though dollars, and.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure she's happy about that.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: But it's you know, it's a beautiful moment, and it's
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: also a hard thing. When Noah decided to probably go
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: on this show, you got to think about not only
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: is he leaving his wife, but he is, you know,
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: stepping into a show where they did have access to
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: their phones, but you know he was going to have
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: to be separated from his family for a bit. So
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: I think the biggest takeaway for me this whole episode
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: is I am feeling for Noah and his brother and family.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: I think we all are, and I'm and it's it
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: was really good of the show to bring in why
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: he stayed. I think there would have been too many
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: questions on no why didn't you go home? It's one
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: hundred thousand dollars. But he said my mom would want
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: me to do this and that now you know that
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: makes sense. And I was like, I want Noah to win.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: I mean, Tammy was great, and you know, it doesn't
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: take away from her story, but I was like, yeah,
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: I was very much like, oh yeah, let's bring this
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: home to mom.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: I was also like, there's no suspense here, like Noah
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: will win this. If you guys don't have no win this,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: we're all gonna be very mad. But we do have
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: to talk about the kitchen.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, no, and Tammy ended up moving on to
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: work on the kitchen. A critique I have of this
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: is it feels like a really unfair way to judge
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: the final two is hey, work in the same space.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: You're each going to get these like designated areas, and
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: you're gonna have to make them work together, and then
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: we're gonna pick the person that does it best.
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I know.
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: It kind of feels like what they did to get
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: from three to two would have been better for the
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: final chapter than what they did with the kitchen, because yeah, again,
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: it's like they're working in the same space, they're kind
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: of working together. How do you really know if there's
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: not a clear way that he did it better?
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: Now he was like, I'm trying not to give her
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: too much advice.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, she's my competition.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't really make much sense. Again, not a
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: lot does, but it's okay. It's all for fun. And
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: I like the fact that he knocked down that wall
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: that Alicia put up because that did not belong there.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: His decorating of the shelf beautiful. It was too white
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: for the kitchen was too.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: White for me.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: It's just so bright.
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: I'm a preservationist here, apparently, Well, there's just so many
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: elements of that house that needed changed, and then there's
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: so many elements of that house that could have stayed
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: and been upgraded.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: Around it, and yeah, that was one of them.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: The cabinets could have been place, and you know, they
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: could have used different colors. I just think going with
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: a white maybe really weird it out.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: It just changes the whole house. It does I mean,
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: does it make it a more I think it makes
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: it an easier house to live in. I think it
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: makes it a better house to host people in. But
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: I think the their overall vibe of the house changed
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: completely and it is a little dizzying to me. Ashley.
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: I think in any house where you walk through one
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: room and it's one style, you walk through the next
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: room and it's a different style. You walk upstairs and
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: the bedrooms are all completely different, like, there was no
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: consistency I think with an overall like design theme, which
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: I do think would have been helpful for this show
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: if they would have said, Okay, you have to dig
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: in to Spanish architecture and you have to make this
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: like more of a modern like Spanish feel. But there
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: wasn't that, and so everything's different. Every corner in this
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: house at times is different.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Hey, how's your house?
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: How's your house?
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Does yours have cohesiveness? Mine certainly doesn't.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: My house has a livability right now, I have a
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: one year old it is I know, right.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: I guess like when they're eight, like in the eight Zone,
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: I'll have a house that makes sense.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: When she's not taking a cran to my wall. Then
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: I'll think about what I want to do architecturally and aesthetically.
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: But right now, I it is survival mode to keep
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: like anything going. So no, I mean there is a theme.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: There's a color theme. I think people would walk in
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: and not be dizzied out.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I have a color theme. I like greens. Yeah,
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: I don't know wood and black.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: But if I'm honest, Ashley, this was a good show.
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: It was it was. It was a good idea. I
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: think whoever came up with this idea at its core
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: is it's a great idea. I think the show itself
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: was fun to watch. I think the characters were great
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: to watch. I mostly just got confused at the judging
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: part of things on who stayed, who went? Why did
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: they stay? Why'd they go? Yeah, and then yeah, there
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: was some decision making that I was definitely acoin that
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: nook that took away the light and like broke up
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: that kitchen. I was really wanting to be gone. Early
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: on in the season, that was a big deal, like
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: don't break up, don't put a wall, and that's not
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: popular anymore. You know you don't break up rooms.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: Well, it's starting to become do you know that we're
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: shifting back to more of a less open space and
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: more into closed areas.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: I like a mixture.
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: Okay, see you and I as judges, how would we
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: ever decide who goes home?
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: Things subjected?
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: Is? It is subjective? But at the end of the day,
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: the final winner is Noah, and we get to see
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: the celebration and they pump out some rose petals and
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: it's a beautiful little ceremony. Jojo Fletcher comes, super pregnant.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: Rachel Bilson's there, which is random.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Rachel Wilson not part of either family, just a friend
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: of Bachelor franchise. And like she I think she's so
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: cool and like she's always had like great California girl style.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: She comes in like the least cute outfit she's ever worn.
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: I didn't notice that.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Do we agree with me? Heather? Is it not wanted
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: to critique? She was gree she was getting pilgrim. It's
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: just like that wasn't her style at all.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: It was like such a strange Alba choice, and I'm
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: not usually one to ever have the authority to judge that.
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: Shockingly, I did not notice, So I can't even make
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: a comment. I couldn't tell you what color she wore
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: or why she wore it. But you know what was
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: fun watching this back Ashley is seeing all these people
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: in Bachelorne and it kind of hit me when Jojo
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: walked back into the scene, how many people have come
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: through the franchise who do have incredible skill sets when
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: it comes to design and style. I don't necessarily not
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: Tasha's background. Obviously, she's been used as a host on
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: the show for multiple things, and so she's a familiar
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: face to us.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: That's what they wanted. They're like, look, we have one
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: construction guy and then we have one girl that's known
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: for hosting and she's a bachelorette, so.
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: Together that's great and Tyler, So you have Tyler and
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: Jojo and Sean Lowe. Who else came through? Obviously all
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: the contestants on this season that are just incredibly talented
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: in interior design or in create, like in creating spaces
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: that are warm and fuzzy. That was fun. It was
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: fun to see that these skill sets get brought to life,
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: and it is kind of a common theme. As much
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: as personal training was a common theme on The Bachelor
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: for years, it kind of feels like, yeah, you know,
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: design was also a theme that was like that'll and
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: being on the show allowed these people to utilize and
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: pursue that passion, which I think is awesome. Yeah.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: I think that the people who are part of the
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: show are really glad that they did it and like
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: they feel yeah, yeah, Like I feel like they felt
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: like they put a lot of work into it and
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: that there's a lot of love in the project, and
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: I feel like everybody that was part of it like
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: feel satisfied with what the work they did.
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Noah's your winner. Tammy ends up in second place.
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: We don't know if she gets a thing other than
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: like the stipend she got for being on each episode.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Once you get down to it, you know, when you're
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: in a group of six, you're like, whoever's going to
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: one hundred thousand dollars, Like, you know, I'm one of six,
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Like it's probably not going to be me. Right When
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: you get down to the final two or three and
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: you realize that you missed out on one hundred thousand dollars.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: Oh oh that's painful.
