  Speaker 3: the fact that he was holding Kathy's hand during our
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Almost Say Miss retreat. He says it was some other friend,

• 2:36
  Speaker 7: got everything going out there and I mean she's all

  Speaker 4: Gary.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Anybody on your list besides perhaps Kathy, that you would
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: like to see in a Golden Bachelor in Paradise.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: Well, there's a couple of three, but you know, Nancy was.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Pretty Nancy love Nancy.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: All of our favorites is Nancy.
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: And I gotta tell you she sat next to me
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: at the men tell all, but she wasn't feeling well and.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: I said, I wonder if that's is that me?
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: But I tend to find out she was really not
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: doing so hot physically. But we took a picture together
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: and it was it was pretty special. So Nancy's Nancy's amazing.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: She's a good Christian lady, and she's great person. As
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: you saw on the final episode with Joan and Chalk
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: and was it the counselor for Joan, just seems like
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: an overall great.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Person, stunning inside and out.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: It seems yes, Okay, Well, even though I would love
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: to interrogate you guys about your favorite ladies from the
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: Golden Bachelor and who you'd like to you know, maybe
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: like cuddle up.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: With, I am here to talk about your behind the.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: What you've seen, what you saw behind the scenes on
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: The Bachelor this week.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: So you were part of.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: The prom Rose ceremony cocktail party. Who did you think
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Grant was hooking? Grant was hitting it off best.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: With should I go first? Jack? You want me to go?
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: Yes, You're always the better speaker.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: No, come on, come on, man, I love you for that.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: But nah, I think uh.
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: I thought it was gonna be Zoe because they seemed
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: like they were really hitting it off in a good way,
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: and she's seemed like, you know, just such the a
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: good fit for him.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: So for me, I thought it was Zoe. Okay, Jack,
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: you know, I thought it was Zoe.
• 6:10
  Speaker 7: But then all of a sudden, he had all that
• 6:12
  Speaker 7: conflict and everything, So I don't know if I don't
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: know if that's going to be What did you.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: Guys particularly see about the Zoe interaction that stood out?
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: What I saw was just the personality with what she
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: was bringing to the table, and and it seemed as
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: if Grant was kind of leaning that way even though
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: he has to spread his his love with all the girls.
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: I thought that him and Zoe were well, it just
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: it just seemed like there was a potential connection there.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: This is really great insight. Do you think otherwise after
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: watching the first few episodes, have you been watching?
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: I have been, Yeah, yeah, I have been too.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Okay, So what's your take on Zoe's future?
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: Well, it's starting to fade a little bit. It's starting
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: to fade a little bit now. Who it's just such
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: a coin toss, you just I have no idea. I
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: have no idea. They've done really well at holding our
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: at piquing our interest as to who he may who
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: we may pick.
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: So I don't know, So, Caroline, I thought at one
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: time that that was going to be, but I'm not
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: sure on that either anymore. So, you know, it's kind
• 7:36
  Speaker 7: of you know, on our show, I think it was
• 7:40
  Speaker 7: more how can you say we had favorites right away?
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: Or I thought we had favorites right away, And I
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: think this one kind of bounces back and forth to
• 7:51
  Speaker 7: who the favorites were.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Did you guys know that Chalk was gonna be, like, say,
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: top three really early on?
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: I say because because from that first one on one
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: date that Chalk had with Joan when they went to Disneyland,
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: I thought at that point that guy is in position A.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: He's in position.
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: One, because I mean, when you win, guess where you
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: get to go.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: I'm going to Disneyland. So I thought he.
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: And the fact that he was my roommate, so I
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: was pulling for him and Guy, both of them. So
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: it was great to see them both in the finale.
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: But yeah, I at first I thought it was going
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: to be Guy and then Chalk and then Guy, and
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: then I said, yeah, Chalk has this. There's there's something
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: about him that she absolutely needs and loves.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: So that that was my inition.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: So that's interesting because I know ever understood how Guy
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: was getting so far, but you definitely saw it in person.
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, go on, Jack, your turn?
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah go on, Jack? Why is this funny?
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: So because I tend to agree with you also, and
• 9:15
  Speaker 7: I like Guy was a very nice man, but it
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: just didn't seem like he was the you know. I
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: mean again, I thought Jack was the you know, Jack
• 9:26
  Speaker 7: was the front runner.
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: I thought Jordan.
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: Jordan's you know, he's you know, in great shape, he's
• 9:32
  Speaker 7: good looking guy, he's got a great job.
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: I thought he was. This would have been a second.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: And yeah, Okay, of the girls that you met there,
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: did one stand out to be just the nicest and
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: friendliest to you?
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: Christina? Of course for me, are you talking about.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: Get off of Christina, I'm talking about.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about women.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: Oh, Jack, you're you're the best man. I'm glad with
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: Jack classic.
• 10:09
  Speaker 7: Because it's because anything I say, you look better because
• 10:12
  Speaker 7: you speak.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: Well, that isn't it. It's just you. You're great. That's
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: all I can say.
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: I'm just glad that I get to feel your laughing
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: and being so gregarious with.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: You, and you know, and I miss you. That's that's
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: all that is. That's all.
• 10:29
  Speaker 7: Good.
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: But okay, So but for me, the one that I
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: saw again, I'm gonna stick with Zoe her person.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: She and I spent some.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: Time together talking, however little time it was, but she
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: really made an impression on me as well, So I
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: gotta stick.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: I know, I'm stinking with Zoe all.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: The way through, Zoe all around.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: What can I say? Man, were you I'm sure.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: You're just not crushing on her because she's quite stunning.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: I'm not crushing on those young girls. No, they they
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: still have a ways to go. So yeah, nough to
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: be our grandchi. Exactly, Thank you for that, Jack, Yeah exactly.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: Actually, technically possibly yes, because everybody had kids young, like
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: say you had.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: A kid at twenty five, then your kid had a
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: kid at twenty five.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah you know, Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I don't

• 11:44
  Speaker 3: quickly if you saw anything about Latia, because to me,
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: Latia is the front runner.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: Lati was a sweetheart. Yeah, she was a sweetheart.
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: Seemed very passionate and very uh just a fun, outgoing personality.
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: So yeah, I can see why she would be absolutely well, Tilla, Oh.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: Haven't you haven't contemplated Latia as being a finalists Natia?
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: But I will now, Okay, I guess my final question
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: for y'all is was there anything that happened that was
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: worth mentioning that didn't make air? Gary will go with you,
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: since apparently you're the better one speaking.
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: What didn't make air was just being back in the
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: mansion was in and of itself just a serren like
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: especially yeah, especially that I had the use of my
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: telephone because we were sequestered no tele communication devices whatsoever.
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: So being in the mansion with my phone and talking
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: with the guys around the fire place that didn't make
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: any of the edits, And then wanting to go and
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: be involved with the program, but being required to just
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: stay in the room we were in.
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: It's like, I want to go out there and party
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: with these guns. Well, no, we were in the room.
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: That we had to stay in while they began their
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: other their other things that they were doing, and I
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: wanted to be out there with them, so we had
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: to kind of hang back and do our thing. But
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: it was it was great being there. It really was.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: Fast going back and not having the nerves but getting
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: the nostalgia.
