  Speaker 1: Ben Higgins and Ashley I bring you Infamous. Sometimes roses
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: are red flags. Everybody, it's been today, I'm taking over
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: and I'm here for another episode of Infamous. Sometimes roses
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: are red flags. Today, I might just have one of
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: the most memorable people to come out of the Bachelor
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: universe in the last decade. She was infamous for napping,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: she was infamous for her brief time on Paradise, a
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: true legend from Nick Viles season of The Bachelor, and
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: somebody who's done a lot since then. Of course, I'm
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: talking about Krinn Olympios. Krinn, Welcome to the show. Hi,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I'm back, Kriinn. I have a lot to talk to
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: you about. A lot I want to catch up with
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: you on but I want to start by asking you
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: a very direct question. Would you say you are the
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: best villain to ever come out of the Bachelor franchise?
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: I absolutely would say that.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: My next question then is, Okay, I'll ask you this question.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Then I'll tell you why I'm asking it. What does
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: a villain mean to you? Like, how do you describe
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: a villain?
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Well, a villain? Honestly, I think it's kind of like
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: a running joke with me because like I say, I'm
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: like the greatest villain to ever come off the show.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: But I don't really consider myself an actual villain. I'm
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: more of a villain as in, like I'm going to
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: do and say what I like feel and if you
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: come at me, like I'll come back at you. But
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: I'm never going to start any drama with anyone. I'm
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: never gonna be like going at anyone for no reason
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: or starting drama on my own. It's more of just
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: like I'm gonna do and be me, but like if
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: you come for me, you'll be sorry.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: See That's where I was coming at because I mean,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: I guess we can throw you in that villain category
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: because there was like some polarization I guess from next
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: season with you. People talked about you a lot, people
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: were super into it. But you were the first villain
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: that I think made Bachelor Nation question like what are
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: we determining as a villain or not because you weren't
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: like mean, and I think that was historically what we met.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: And then I look at my season, which was the
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: year before with Olivia COAREDI who also was not a
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: villain but got kind of defined as a villain, but
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: wasn't mean just polarizing.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: I think, like because I still feel like I can't
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: believe that it was this long ago, but like eight
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: years ago, like reality TV was kind of just like
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: popping off, and social media was just becoming a thing
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: for us on reality TV, and like it was kind
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: of all like snowballing at that time. So I feel
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: like at that time, no one really knew how to
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: categorize villains properly. So it's like, oh, she's different. She's
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: like saying like out of pocket and like she's a villain,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: But like I wasn't really the villain. Taylor Nolan was
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: the villain going at me and going at me and
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: going at me, talking behind my back. I'm sitting right
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: there and she's like whispering behind my back, and I'm
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: just like I'm not dealing with that. But once she
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: came from me and said something to me, I'm like,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: all right, you're done, honey, You're done.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: So was the response in the house, I mean, I
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: mean it's been a bit. Was the response in the
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: house supportive of you? Or did it feel like you
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: were on your own little island?
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: It's crazy because like Vanessa and Jasmine, Sorry, it's been
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: a long time. Oh my god.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: But like the girls like and I got along really well.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Like the only girl that like literally didn't hang out
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: with me, like on or off camera was Taylor, Like,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: and what's that girl's name, Sarah van Dahl? I think
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: she has like the really big freaky smile. Yeah, they
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: were the only ones that really didn't like hang out
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: with me off camera. But like when the cameras were up,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: like Vanessa and like all of them were kind of
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: just like talking so much about me. And I was
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: kind of shocked when the season aired because I was like, wow,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: you guys were like acting like you were like my
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: best friends and all that. And it's crazy because I
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: was never like like that or fake like that. I
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: was always like real. So I'm like, y'all are the
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: real villains here.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: The we do infamous right now because right now we're
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: trying to peel behind the curtain, get behind the scenes.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Hear from the people who did kind of have that
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: moment watching it back me like I don't I didn't
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: know that or I don't remember it that way. When
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: you watched your season back, did you feel like, uh,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: there were things I mean outside of people talking behind
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: your back that you didn't know of. Was there shocking
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: moments that you remember going that isn't how it happened?
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Or do you feel like you were accurately portrayed throughout?
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: No? No, no, no, no, no, yes, there were How do
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: I put this? Let me think? Okay, yes, okay. People
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: ask me all the time. Is the show scripted and
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: is it like exactly what we see? No, it's not scripted,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: but it's real. It's all us. But like, no, it's
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: not exactly what you see. Like, there were things that
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I saw that I was like, whoa, They really put
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: that like out of context and this is going to
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: be taken so not how it actually was. Some things,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: for instance, were when I went to Nick Faiau's hotel
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: room that night, they really portrayed it as like I
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: was going there to have sex with him that night,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: and that's so was not the vibe. I was in
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: my sweatpants. I gave a whole speech on how I
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: felt misunderstood and wanted to have a conversation. They portrayed
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: it as like Karenna is going to have sex and
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: I remember being so confused when Nick was like we
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: shouldn't do this, and I was like, I am not
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: here for that. What is happening? And there were just
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: like a bunch of other times like that as well.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Not to out the show or anything, but.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Not to out the show. But I think it's only
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: fair at some point for those who maybe I can't
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: even say you didn't have a good experience on the show,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: because the show has been great for you, and we're
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: going to talk about all those things here. But the
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: big scene that people loved and remembered and I found,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: coming a year off of my season absolutely wild that
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: you made this choice was the nap during the Rose ceremony.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I think you and I are very different in the
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: sense that I went on the show and was so
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: nervous the whole time that I couldn't really have fun
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: and relax and be myself. It felt like you really
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: went on and continue to go on television and can
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: really be yourself and relax. And I'm intrigued by where
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: that comes from if that is true. But then also,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: can you elaborate on the napping scene because there were
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: many producers, many camera people, many contestants right there probably
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: confused by it as well, and it was a bold choice.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir, it was where do I start? Because this
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: is a little bit of a layered moment again, scenes
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: where things just didn't go as planned or wasn't shown
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: as planned. That night was trench coat night, as I
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: call it, and I don't know if you remember, but
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: I came downstairs in her trench coat and lingerie. It
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: was Nick's birthday. I was trying to be cute again,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: just went I. That was probably my fault. I should
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: have been like, this probably will look so stupid, but
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: you know what, DEMI copied me, so I must have
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: made an imprint on something and people loved it. I
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: don't know whatever I felt like that night. I was like,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: this did not go as planned. I look so dumb.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: And I was kind of like upset with the producers
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: about something that night. And I was also upset because
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: the girls were like Korean's taking all the time, blah
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: blah blah blah blah, starting to get pissed at me,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: and then when I would just like sit in the
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: corner or take a nap, they would be pissed. Also,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: I'm like, well, which is it. Do you want me
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: around or do you not? I just had a sty night,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: like I have my rose from the group date. I'm
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: not dealing with this again, authentic myself. That's what I
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: would do if I was in a situation like that
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: in real life, I would leave and go home and
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: go to sleep. So I just was like, I'm removing myself.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I'm upset. I was crying. I was like, I'm not
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: doing it, Like these girls are all like talking about
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: me and I just had a sheep night. I'm not
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: doing it. So I went to sleep.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Okay, So you went to sleep peacefully. I don't remember
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: how did it play out. Did people come up and
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: try to wake you up?
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: I think Nick came into the room. It was like,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: what are you doing? Hee you? I'm sleeping.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: It is It is interesting because some of those relatable moments,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: and I would consider that a relatable moment because I
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: think people watching would go, hey, it was his birthday.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: She was trying to be uh sweet or kind or.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: I was trying to be hot, trying to be hot,
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: and I was trying to be different, and it just
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: it did not It did not go The producers told
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: me they were doing something else. They lied to me
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: about something, and it got up and I wound up
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: like pulling Nick outside, and it just like wasn't didn't
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: match the vibe of me, like being in the trench coat.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: It was supposed to be a joke. I was like,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: like in a trench coat at lingerie, but like along
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: the line, something got messed up. I was pissed at
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: the producers and like I just looked stupid because they
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: didn't do what they said they had done, so like
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: it didn't make sense that I was in a tract coat.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: So I was just like annoyed and I was like, well,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: now I look stupid. And that's when I like essentially
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: stopped listening to the producers and I was like, no,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: you guys are not on my side.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: And you've been on a couple of the shows since
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: your time on The Bachelor. You've definitely made a name
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: for yourself. You know, when everybody comes off the show,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: and I'm sure they talk to whoever their agent is
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: a representation. I'm sure every Bachelor contestant says, yeah, I
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: just want to do things outside of the franchise. That
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: is a very common thing. It doesn't always happen, but
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: for you, you really have done a lot, and so
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: has Nick and We're going to talk about Nick and
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: his resurgence here in just a bit. But for you,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: you have really made a name for yourself outside the show.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Do you feel like your experience on The Bachelor prepared
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: you for these other shows? Are they at all similar?
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Absolutely? Not The Bachelor? Like when I got to uh, okay,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: so I've done I've done shows. Sorry, I'm trying to
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: like answer these properly because there's so much like, No,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: a Bachelor did not prepare me.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: You're trying to be proper here, but when it comes
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: to beyond national television, you say, screw it, let's just
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: rock and roll.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, So the Bachelor, no, not prepare me for other shows.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: I've the next like major show kind of like like
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: The Bachelor that I did, I guess you could say
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: was house of villains, like big production, big deal, other
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: reality stars. At that point, I was like, literally, what
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: the like, I was not prepared for this at all.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: I was not ready because again, I'm not a real villain.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: All of them went in with a strategy. I'm like,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: let's all be friends. New York is like FK, youw
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: We're not friends. I'm like, WHOA, this is like not it.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: I like, by the way, me and New York are
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: very good friends, but I'm just like trying to get
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: everyone to get along. I'm like not good at competitions.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Like I almost like was like so unprepared for The Bachelor.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Totally different deal. They did not prepare me over there
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: for like what real reality TV is like and competition
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: shows are like absolutely not because again I didn't treat
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: The Bachelor like a competition. I feel like nowadays this
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: show is really treated like a competition. Like people come
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: up to me and they're like, did you win? And
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, it's not something you win, Okay, you
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: fall in love. I'm sorry that people are ruining this
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: show and the show sucks now in my opinion, but
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: it's not something you can win.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: You don't win it. But speaking of love, you did
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: go on next season?
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: I did?
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Did you go into the season believing that Nick was
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: somebody you potentially could be interested in?
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Absolutely? At the time, like I literally was like I'm
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: marrying him?
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: And when did that change or did it ever change?
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean like being on the show and like
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: filming it, you're not thinking. I mean, at least for me,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: you're not thinking like, oh, I just like need to
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: be here. I mean like after I guess you could say,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: like after he didn't pick me, I was like, oh,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: I'm not marrying him?
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Mmm? You know, so did your feelings fade? Like if
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: you would have picked you, would you have like could
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: you believe you could have continued on?
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Well? Yeah, I would like to think that, Like, I mean,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: that's like the hope of being on the show is
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: that you meet the person that you want to marry
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: and you stay with them and it works out. I mean,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: our show's track record isn't that great, but you know,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: you hope for the best. I mean, like, didn't you
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: think that you were going to stay with who was it? Lauren?
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: M No, you do.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: I'm with you. I'm not disagreeing with you.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: You really do believe it. You think you're going to
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: be with them.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: I had girls that were on the season that also
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: left because they had said, no, this is not for me.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: So my question was more around did you believe it
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: until the very end when he said goodbye? Or were
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: you one foot in one foot out?
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: No? No, I was. I was fully in the whole time.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: And that's the God's honest truth.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: And then when you go on like House of Villains,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: it's very different because you're not going there for the romance. Correct.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was like, honestly, like it's so crazy because
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: I remember like getting there and being like, okay, like
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: the pressure's not on, like I'm not dating anyone here,
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: and like I don't like I just need to focus
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: on Like honestly, I wasn't even prepared for the competitions there,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: but like it was way less pressure getting there initially
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: because I was like, I don't need to worry about
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: falling in love with anyone and going on dates with anyone,
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Like I'm I'm just here being me. Little did I
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: know that competition shows are the most stressed. I mean whoa.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: I mean Johnny Bananas on House Civilians was on House
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Civilians with me and he does the challenge and even
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: him and I were like, this is a whole nother
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: fucking level of show.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well you're bringing massive personality. He's out. And speaking
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: of Johnny Bananas, I think last time we were on
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: a show, you were promoting House of Villains, and right
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: before that you were on and you were in a
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: relationship at that point in time, like with Bob the
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: builder or something.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: I haven't dated Vince that friend, first of all. Lol,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: I forgot his name literally laughing.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: I think that was the last time, Like those are
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: those are two moments? Are you still dating? Because that
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: was a big deal for you to go public in
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: that relationship. And then I remember you and Johnny kind
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: of had like a flirtation thing that we were curious about.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'll tell you everything right now. Oh, Vince
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: and I dated during the pandemic, and that just went
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: horribly horribly wrong. He like whatever, he him and I
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: just like weren't getting along. He on me and I
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: found out later on I moved out away from Scottsdale.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: I couldn't look at his space for one working second.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it was the pandemic, I don't
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: know whatever, but that was before How Civilians. Then I
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: dated Jerry. That was a whole another horrible horrible vibe.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Nice guy, not for me anyways. That went on to whatever,
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: and then I did how Civilains How Civilains. I was single.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: I meet Johnny Bananas. We are flirting the whole time.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: This that he doesn't want to kiss on camera a
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: little did I know it was because of Mariah or
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: whatever her name is, and she was apparently freaking out
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: that I was there because he knew that she knew
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: that him and I would hit it off. It was
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: a hole to do. So anyways, him and I just
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: had this like cat and mouse game going the whole time,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: and everybody loves the showmans and of course the producers
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: were like hopping on our digs about it. And then
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: we just kind of like started to like casually see
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: each other after the show and like kind of just
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: had like a little flag after the show and then
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: we were just friends.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: I was just with him. He's a wild time. He's
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: a lot more energy than I have. He can go
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: for many hours of the evening. So where does that
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: spit you out? Today? Are you dating?
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: So with my past of coming out to the public
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: after boys nagging me and nagging me and nagging me
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: for cloud to come out to the public and show
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: everybody that I'm dating them, in comes my current boyfriend.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: We've been dating for two years and I have kept
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: him completely separate from my work life and he's been
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: so respectful of that, and we're kind of starting to
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: post on Instagram together now. I think it's time we're
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: going to be moving in together soon, and I think
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: I feel comfortable enough that I can mention him now.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: His name is David, and it's been really really great.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, in my notes here said you'd been in Italy
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: with a guy, and so I assume as you start talking,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: this was the guy that you were there with. If not,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: we have a bigger conversation to happen.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: Yes, no, David. We went with a bunch of his
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: cousins and it was really really nice. And we've been
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: dating for almost two years and he's honestly, really really great.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: How did you meet?
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: So we met? We actually met in true carin fashion
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: in the Bahamas. I was with my sister and our
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: best friend, and my sister and her boyfriend at the
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: time actually got into an argument and the boyfriend left
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: our villa and my sister comes and wakes me up.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: I'm sleeping, I'm in my sweatpants and my oversized team,
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: my hair is everywhere, I have no makeup on. She's like,
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: get up, We're going to the bar like her ex
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: was there because they were arguing. She's like that, we're going.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: So I'm like, oh my god. So we get on
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: the golf cart. We get to the bar and I'm like,
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: literally in my pajamas, flip flops, no makeup, hair everywhere,
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: and this guy comes up to me. He's like, you
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: want a shot? And I was like yeah, And that's
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: how we met. We met in Bimini in the Bahamas,
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: and we lived ten minutes from each other in Florida.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: No way, how weird is that? That's incredible? I mean, Karinn,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: if you don't mind me saying it, you don't have
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: the best track record of dating and.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Ben. Yeah.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: What makes this guy different? I mean, well, does it
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: feel different? Maybe elaborate on who he is that is
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: different than I mean honestly, because I hear a story
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: of a guy at a bar. I mean, I do
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: appreciate the fact that you were with no makeup, in
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: sweats and came up and said, hey, can I buy
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: you a shot? That is a very nice move, But
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: it also could very easily be the guy that silt
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: the bar trying to rip shots with the girl who
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: looks lonely in her sweatpants sitting there. So what makes
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: him different?
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Okay, So I will say it's it's kind of a
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: running joke in my family because my track record sucks.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: But all these men in the beginning are like, I'm
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: obsessed with you, I love you. Go to my dad,
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: tell him they're going to marry me. We move in together,
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: it's a whole thing, and then it kind of just
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: like falls apart. I don't know if that's amazing or
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: like ridiculous, but yes, there have been some really shy
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: situations with my dating. David, on the other hand, kind
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: of hung around and like we didn't start dating right away.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: And I don't know how to explain it, but it's
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: a very different situation from the past.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: That makes no sense.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: I know we like hung out that night, but like
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: I was also hanging out with like I don't know
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: what it was about that night, but like I pulled
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: more guys that night than like I've ever pulled like ever.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm gonna go out with my sweatpants and
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: don't make up every night. Yeah, it's just like the
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Queen of Vimini that night. I don't know, I got
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: like ten guys numbers.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: I think it's probably the vibe that you don't care
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: is what makes guys care exactly.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: I was just like literally not giving a shit. So
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: if anyone wants danding advice there you go, don't give.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: A shop anyway.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: I meet David. We're kind of we're like kind of
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: hanging out with like everyone at the bar at this point,
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Like me and my sister are just like floating around.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: We're like going to some guy's boat who's having a
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: boat party. Then we're going back to the bar, like
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: we're like all over the place. David's kind of just
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: like there and he's kind of like, you know, like
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: trying to like be helpful to me in like anyway
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: and just like being really nice. I go back to
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: my villa after partying all night, and the next morning
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: I see him at Starbucks and I was like, whoa.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: I was kind of like being me. I was like
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: joking around, you know, he's kind of like shy. In
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: the morning, I was like, look who it is. I
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: was like, do you know where we can get golf carts?
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: And he was like, yeah, come on, I'll take you.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: So we get on, me and my sister and our
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: best I can get on the golf cart and he's
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: like driving around. I just remember looking at him and
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: he was literally just smiling so big, like I could
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: tell he just was like so excited to see me
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: and hang out with me, and I was like, oh
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: my god, like poor guy, Like I am not going
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: to date him, so sad and I go home and
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: he goes home, and I didn't realize, but he was
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: what he didn't have an iPhone at the time either,
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: which was like its own thing, and he was what's
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: happen at me? Which I never saw because I don't
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: have WhatsApp notifications and I kind of like forgot about it.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: And then on my birthday he sent me a present
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: and I was like, my birthday's in November, so it
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: was a couple months later at this point, and he
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: sends me a birthday present. He remembered my birthday. I
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: haven't spoken to him since I saw him in the
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: summer in Bimini, and I'm like, David Mancini, David Mancini.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: So I like go on Instagram like who the heck
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: is David Mancini and I'm like, oh my god, it's
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: David from Bimini. So then I texted him and I
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: was like wow, like thank you so much for the president.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: That's insane, Like can't believe you're remembered, and he I
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: was like, like, what's up with the thing, And he's like,
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you on our third date. And I was like,
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: you know what, all right? I get back from I
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: was in Orlando, and I got back from Orlando for
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: my birthday and we went on a date the next
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: night and we never separate. It.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: See, this is this is good, Like this feels healthy.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: This is not an unhealthy meetup guy trying to get clout. No,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: you showing off at a bar and him just like
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: he met you in the right place. He showed you
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: and he didn't know who I was of Big two.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: That's Big two. Shock her to his system once he did. Well,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: this is awesome and we're excited for you in this.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: And it is always a really exciting time to announce
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: a relationship publicly, especially when you've been historically kind of quiet.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: But when you do it, it does get a lot
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: of fun and it does kind of allow for the
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: freedom of people to start investigating who David is. So
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: hopefully he has a good track record and we'll find
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: out everyone.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: If we break up, I'm sorry because in the past,
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: as soon as I announce a relationship, it goes to
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: so here we go.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: We'll feel we'll feel for you. If that happens, we'll
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: bring you back to talk about it. Uh, Krinn, how
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: much do you mind talking about Paradise? Because I know
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: it's a very uh it was a very interesting experience.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: I will say this, nobody knows the whole story. There
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: is a lot to it. I will talk about it
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: one day. The truth will come to light. Everyone has
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: their theories. There's been a lot of bad painting of me,
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: a lot of bad painting of the other people involved.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: I think it was just a gang, bad deal that
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: we all found ourselves in it. I don't believe anything
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: happened on purpose. I think everything kind of happened on accident.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: But it can sucked and there's a lot more to it,
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: and no nobody knows what actually happened. And I'll talk
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: about it one day, But that's what I will say.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Do you have like a day in mind?
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: I don't have a day in mind. And I don't
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: know how or when it will be brought up or
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: what that looks.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Like, but.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: I I just will say that no one actually really
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: knows what happened, or no matter what you think, you know,
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: you don't know the story. So yeah, that's.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: All I say, Okay, did you feel supported during this time? Though,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Like I mean, is that a question I can ask?
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Is like coming off of that experience you obviously, if
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: I remember, I didn't choose to continue to film, so
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: there's like the break and then you left, correct mm hmm.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: I will say this. I love my Bachelor family. I
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: do wish I went back at that time and kind
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: of handle that. Listen, this was like a bomb went
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: off in my life, and like I didn't know exactly
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: how to handle it. I also didn't know how much
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: it would affect me after the fact, and like I
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: just I handled it the best that I could, and
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: I felt my family supported me. I had people from
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: the show that supported me. The girls, however, were worried
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: about themselves. They were crying that we had to stop
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: filming and going to Disneyland with to Mario and I'm
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: sitting home not being able to leave because every news
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: outlet on the planet is parked outside my condo and
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: I can't do anything. Anything I do was it was
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: just a horrible time. So yeah, I had a lot
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: of support from the people that mattered, but like I
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: was completely unsupported by other people.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Also, is that was I mean, was that your exit
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: from the Bachelor world, because have you done anything with
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: them since?
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: No, Unfortunately I haven't done anything with them since. But
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: I will say that that was not my choice.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, which I mean was kind of my question was
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: is that your choice or was that their choice?
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: I don't really want to comment either way on that,
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: but I love my Bachelor family and I have no
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: hard feelings.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Well that kind of leads me to the end here
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: where we transition into life. Now. Obviously we know that
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: you have just been in Italy with the wonderful with
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: the wonderful David, being in a relationship and being married myself.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: It is so much greater than any television show you
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: could ever do. But it does change kind of your
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: ability to go on television. So a couple questions rapid fire.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Is there any reality television for you in the future
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: that we can get excited about.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, I've definitely said no to a bunch of dating shows,
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: So that's why obviously you guys haven't seen me on
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: dating shows. Me and my sister were supposed to do
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: a really fun dating show together, but unfortunately, at the
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: time when we were just getting with our boyfriends and
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: kind of deciding what route to take, but so we
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: decided not to do that. But you're going to see
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: me on reality TV other than dating shows? Yes, fun
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: stun coming?
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Is that a teaser for life now? Life kind of
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: in the near future? Things you want to share with
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: listeners that they maybe could tune into that you'll be
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: a part of.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: I can't really share anything yet, but yeah, you will
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: definitely see me again. My world is reality television. It's
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: what I love to do. I love I love it.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: Your sister is a big personality as well. Correct.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: Correct?
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Is there a world in which we would see her
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: with you on something?
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: Yes, there's been a couple shows. We are very excited
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: to do reality television together. That's obviously the main goal.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Her and I are like two peas in a pod.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: We're a team. So you will definitely see us, hopefully
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: sooner than later, on reality TV together.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like the two of you
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: showing up somewhere it could be really intimidating for so
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: many others because you are so close. Yeah, like it
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: can you know what?
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: Everyone hates to see us coming, whether it's in real
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: life or on TV. I will tell you that, girls
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: do not like it when we enter the chat.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: No, people need to get out of the way. Okay,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: So that's the teasers we got for the future. Those
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: are the things you can talk about right now. That's
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: your experience on The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise. If
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: one day you do feel like you need the platform
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: to share all of your stories in extensive detail to
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: get it off off out into the world, please let
