  Speaker 1: with her radio. It is a very special week. Yes,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: today is the first official day that the almost Famous
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: podcast is breaking down this year's episode of The Bachelorette. Ashley,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: How pumped are you to be back in season now? Officially? Oh,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: it's so fun to have something to concretely talk about
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: it is. It's great. We've had a lot of fun
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: in the off season. A lot of stuff happening in
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Bachelor Nation. Uh, not as many changes as maybe the
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: off season before the last year then, uh, but now
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: we're back talking about this season. I have a feeling actually,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: before we do this podcast, I always get on Twitter
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: and try to get the the like, very non scientific
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: um VI of what Bachelor Nation is feeling. I will
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: say this to kick us off. I think they really
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: like gabbing Rachel a lot. I think so too. I'm
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: so excited for everyone. Yeah, and I think they're gonna
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: like get like, this isn't a I don't even know
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: what season it would be where we like start out
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: really liking the lead and then as the season goes on,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: we kind of like, you know, we don't like him
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: as much. Now I think gabbing Rachel are only going
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: to continue to shine when you like look up stuff.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Even on like message boards, people seem to always be
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: positive about them. There's like not a lot of hate
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: out there, not a lot of criticism. I don't want
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: to say heye, but criticism. Uh. And I think that
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: we We had people come to Audrey yesterday for a
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: watch party, the Packed House, and I had already watched
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: the episode. I was getting some work done in the
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: back room when the episode was actually airing, you know
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: when people are mingling about before the episode. Of course
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I'm out there, but um, I was listening to the
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: crowd reaction and they loved the episode. They were just
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: they were so vocal and they were laughing, and it
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: was totally different than the Clayton season. The Clayton season
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: we got more like no but with this we got
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of laughter, a lot of like cheering. It
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: was awesome. Yeah, I think it's going to continue to
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: be well. Uh followed. That is interesting. Actually your watch party,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: do people watch it or is it just on in
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: the background and people aren't engaged or are they very engaged? No,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: that's like it's really cool. I thought, Oh, we're gonna
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: have a watch party. It's like they see some people
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: that mingle, they're not going to ever pay attention to
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: the episode and then they're gonna have to go home
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: and watch it. But not at all. So we do
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: like I like go around the room before the show,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: and then after the show, Jared and I and do
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: like a little meet and great mingle, and we do
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: like Q and A during like an innermission and like
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: towards the end. But like people are glued into the
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: show the entire time. It's really it's nice, really nice.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: They're totally n now here's the weird part, Ashley. Uh,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: something interesting to consider. The ratings have just came out
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: as of twenty seven minutes ago. Holy crap. So oh god, Ben,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the suspense making even more suspense than you already are.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: It is crazy to think this season eighteen so last
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: season of ABC's Bachelor averaged a point six five rating
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: in the eighteen to forty nine demographic and two point
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: eight nine million viewers. That's last season, okay, two point
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: eight nine, two point nine million, two million million, two million,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: eight thousand for Michell for Michells okay, and last night
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: in the eighteen to forty nine demo. It was down
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: with two point seven million viewers, which is a total
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: of being down nine percent from last year's premiere. What
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: was the number? The million number? Two point seven million.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Two point seven million versus two point nine is that interesting?
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I did not expect that. I really thought neither that
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Last Night was going to be a massive home run.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Now I think it's still won the evening. I think
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: it still was the highest watch show on network television. However, um,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: people maybe aren't tuning in Night Of. That could still
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: be a thing. Maybe, Uh, when the streaming numbers come out,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: they're going to see that people tune in tonight or tomorrow.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: But yeah, it's down, which is shocking to me. As
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: we get started, I think it's gonna be a great season.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I will say right now, I think people should watch
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: this season if they're at all a fan of the
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: franchise and they're looking for maybe that kind of throwback
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: old school feel where the contestants, uh so far haven't
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: added a lot of drama. The bachelorettes are incredible leads.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: I think this is going to have a great feel.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: But as far as we know right now, people didn't
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: tune in and so we're gonna to wait and see.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: That doesn't change our excitement for this season. It doesn't
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: change our excitement to break down this episode. We have
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: a whole lot to break down, and so let's start,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Ashley with the introduction of the two bachelorettes. You mentioned
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: during the Twelve Days of Celebration that you felt like
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: it was we were having a hard time as viewers
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: connecting with the leads over the last few seasons. Did
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: you feel like this show did a good job last
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: night helping us connect and root for Gabby and Rachel.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I feel like Gaby and Rachel are our friends. I
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: definitely feel like we know them. They're like our galp House. Yeah,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: and again, I want to reiterate, I feel like we've
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: gotten that sense of unknowing more so with The Bachelor's bachelorettes,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: because like, I feel pretty friendly with Michelle and Katie too,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: even though I don't know them both personally very well. Uh,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I would say the same thing. I think The Bachelor
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: needs a great season. I didn't and the Indians a
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: side note, I didn't see last night's too early on.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Any guys that stood out was like, that's gonna be
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the next Bachelor, Like that looks like the Bachelor to me.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I think there should be some guys in the weeks
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: two and three that really shine and shows who they
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: are and we'll go, oh, yeah, that makes sense. Now.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Last night I just didn't get that feeling, which is
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: great because it was very focused on Gabby and Rachel.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Best part of the episode to me was right off
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: the beginning. Can you guess what it was? Um, I'll
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: just tell you right now. Then. Yeah, I don't want
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: to guess the so amazing missed belly bump that both
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: of them did when they saw each other after Rachel
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: landed in l A in her plane and Gabby went
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: to pick her up, and they like belly bumped each other,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: but like one of them didn't really get off the ground,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: the other one kind of did and they kind of
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: just like missed each other and then fell backwards. I
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: was like, I like these girls, these girls, these are
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: real girls who are just here to have a good
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: time and to try to figure out if this thing
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: can work. And that's when I was like, I am
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: cheering for them from now until the end. Yeah, I
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: agree that. You know what makes me laugh when Gabby's
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: like yeah. Yeah, Well, like she said yesterday in her interview,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: and uh, if you did not listen to her interview
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: with Gabby and Rachel, we encourage you to go back
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: and listen to that that aired last night at nine pm.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: We had both leads on. Gabby admitted that Rachel puts
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: words to thoughts and that Gabby just likes to stand
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: there and kind of say yeah, because Rachel has the words.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: And I think that's great. Good for them. I love that.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: That's like us, Ben, You're like blood bla bla bla blah.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, well, sometimes you have to have a
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: great partner um and you balance each other out. And
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I think they're gonna balance each other out really well. Okay,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: So that leads us into the second segment of the episode. Actually,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I don't want to hear your thoughts on this. The
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: men were filmed watching kind of the announcement of the
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: two bachelorettes. We kind of had a behind the scenes
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: look at them watching with their families or in their
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: hotel rooms. What did you think of that little segment? Okay?
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: I liked the segment That felt like the draft day,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: like they were sitting there waiting for their names to
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: be called, right, everybody was so excited when the two
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: were announced and its it seemed like real genuine excitement
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: that they were getting two bachelorettes, and the two bachelorettes
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: were who they were really really adorable. Actually, what I
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: don't remember bern now, like now that I'm like twenty
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: four hours removed from watching the episode, there is no package,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: no guy package that really stood with me as being like, ah,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: that one there wasn't really was there. Did they even
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: have packages? We didn't have packages. Okay, we didn't have package.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: That's why I don't remember guys. That's why I don't remember.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: But we did get like little intros, little little here
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: or there's right, Yeah, I will tell you this. I'm not. Yeah,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: I kind of enjoy two things that happened last night. One, uh,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: none of these guys were introduced to us months ago
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: at some live show. I'm over that. That was just weird.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: It didn't make any sense. I felt like it kind
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: of set them up to be front runners early on,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: even though a lot of them never lasted past the
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: you know past earlier one. But it was just it's
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: just awkward and it didn't really make sense to me.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: The second is I can go without the packages. I mean, apparently,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: we definitely can go without the packages. I just so
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: there are some packages in the past that do stand
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: out to me. You do get to go to know
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: the guys a little better, some of them from these packages.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: But oftentimes, if you've noticed recently and tell me if
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: you think I'm crazy, a lot of the packages have
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: included people that just don't last very long. So we
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: waste half of the episode watching a bunch of dudes
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: who we don't watch past night one. So so true. Yeah,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: because really the producers don't know when they go and
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: they pick, you know, they pick like a third of
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: people to go meet in their hometown. They don't know
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: who's going to really last. Just use their best guess. Yeah,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: so I'm okay trying without it. I mean I do
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: think some of them are important. I remember the Tyler
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Cameron package where he's like shirtless dancing around in some
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: house that he was building back then. Uh, And I
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: was like, what that dude's like about, Like he's like
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: a professional dancer, Like, well, how's this going to play out?
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: He's so like agile. Yeah, that was the beginning of
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: his Patrick Swayze vibe. Yeah, yeah, and then you know
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: that sticks with me that I remember that that package.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: But for the most part, they're pretty forgettable, and so
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: we just got the behind the scenes of them getting
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: excited about the announcement. Probably one of those reasons. And
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I think we're gonna have this all season. One of
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: the reasons I'm excited. Uh, they probably cut packages because
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: they're gonna have so much content to show that we
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: don't need any filler space, Like we don't need those
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: random kind of segments that don't make a lot of
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: sense for the season. I bet we have less b
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: roll this season than ever where people are walking around
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: the city's I bet we have still beautiful pictures of
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: the landscape. But I think we just have a lot
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: of content to get through. I mean, we saw it
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: with Gabby and Rachel. They said it yesterday. They barely
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: got to talk to you, but they talked to half
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: of the people on Night one. Because I think it's
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: it's wild. It's wild. I talked to every single person,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: every single person, and I had spoken on my Night
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: one not because it was something that I mean, I
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: wanted to do that obviously. I think everybody wants to
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: do that, but it was just part of it, like
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: you did. We were able to do it because there
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: wasn't so many I think Chris, I think Chris Souls
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: maybe didn't talk to like four or five of the girls,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: but out of I think we had thirty. That's a
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: huge chunk. And the fact that, like they said, collectively,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: they only got through half is so crazy. I don't
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: know why that is. There had to be more going
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: on behind the scenes. I but they had more time
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Rachel and Gabby talking like on the side that they
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: were filming, because if two of them, between the two
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: of them, you would think they would been able to
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: get to everybody. Yeah, you would think, you know, the
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: guys may not have talked to both, but yeah, I
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: don't know. So Okay, so we get tonight one. Now,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Actually we are at the mansion. Uh, the guys are
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: going to be pulling up, They're getting excited. Uh. What
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: are your thoughts now in this moment as you're watching
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: the episode? Are you excited? Are you anxious? Um? Are
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: you do you feel like you're watching The Bachelor again?
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Or do you do you feel like this is kind
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: of some spinoff show because there's two bachelorettes. Oh, I
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: feel like I'm I'm watching the Bachelorette. There are two
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: things that I really stand out to me about like
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: this section of the episode. One, why did Gabby get
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: the much better dress? Good question? Do you feel like?
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: I feel like com I wanted to almost ask them yesterday,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: but I was like, no, I'm not going to say
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: that to Rachel, like that's sad, like of course not.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: But like Gabby gets this Volvo Boom dress and then
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Rachel's covered up to her neck. I don't know it
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: just wasn't a fan of that dress. And I just
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: thought that like one was such a like a stunt
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: or interesting unique dress, and I think it's just a lot.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: I think like it actually like something like that. Well,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: it seems vain and surface level. They get in a
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: moment where the two of them are standing next to
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: each other, they need to have comparable dresses. Here's the truth.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: I didn't even realize this. Um then I don't even
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: remember what dresses either of them were wearing. Um, But
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you bring that out now. I imagine Ashley,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: at least in my scenario, they picked their dress. Of course,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: you're probably right there was definitely a say, it wasn't
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: like Carrie the stylist was like, you're gonna wear this
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: and you're gonna wear that. I'm sure that they had
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: both a selection to choose from, and I'm not saying
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: that like obviously Rachel's dress is pretty. Is just like
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Garry dress was so sexy and so like interesting, and
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: then there was just like, let me know, people, am
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: I being mean or do you totally understand what I'm saying? No?
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: I think I don't think it's mean. I think it's
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: a it's a fair opinion. I I one her though,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: if we go one step further and say, okay, if
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: they got to pick their dresses, is this a part
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: of showing who they are their personality? Is? Uh? You
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: know Gabby felt more comfortable on night one, you know,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: in that dress and kind of you know, showing who
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: she is, and then Rachel said, no, I want this
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: dress to show who I am. And that's just kind
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: of their unique personalities. Look at you, Ben side by side.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: I love the way you think. Well, no, I mean
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: because it is you know, um, Rachel is definitely more reserved.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: She um is like less sex forward, you know what.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, Gabby is like talking about She's like it
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: hasn't been a year since I've had she's talking about
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: making out all that, and we wouldn't we wouldn't see
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: that from Rachel. Yeah. Actually that's a great point. So
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: it's a good parallel something to watch throughout the season.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Now is their two personalities kind of shining uniquely amongst
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: each other. Okay, so the guys pull up to the mansion, Ashley,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: I think, Um, for just sake of simplicity here on
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: this podcast, let's go through some of the intros that
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: stood out to you. Which ones are memorable to you,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: which ones are forgettable for you, Which ones are also
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: maybe memorable but a tad I don't want to say, awkward,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: but maybe unattractive for you. Um, let's go through some
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: of those intros. You lead us along here, Okay, And
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: I just want to make my second point was that
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: I noticed that the guys would hug Gabby or look
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: at Gabby first, and I don't even know that that's
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: really an attraction things. I think both girls are so gorgeous. Um,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: I think it might be like an open thing like
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: a Gabby might be like a little bit more like outgoing. Yeah.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: I Also I thought about this because I remember my
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Night one on the Bachelorette and having two bachelorettes there,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: and I remember sitting in the limo right before I
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: walked out, and I asked the producer Todd, who was
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: sitting right across from me. I said, which one do
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: I say hi to? First? Like? Is there? I mean,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: this is my night one. I have no training and
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: TV or how this camera stuff works. So I was like,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: is there a formula all right on how you want
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: to do? It? Goes? No, you say hi to whicheveryone
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: you want. And that made me more nervous because I
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: was like, well, crap, I'm gonna lose either way here,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: And so I just said hi to the person on
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: the right first, because it's kind of like it felt like,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm I'm typically in life suede to
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: go to the right. You know, if there's two options
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: right or left, I'm gonna go right. It's just interesting
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: I would go left because it's like how you read
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: left or right? Fair? So I think it was I
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: think it's maybe just a comfort thing. I don't in
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: that moment, actually you know this, And and listeners you've
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: heard of say this. That is not a thought through moment.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: You are black, like you are so nervous, like everything
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: goes blurry. You're just trying to walk the fifty feet
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: to get to them, not make a fool of yourself,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: say your name and get out of there so that
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: you can get some like comfort. That is, there's no
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: there's very few people that confidently, uh have that moment
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: downpat and they do it like with a thought through
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: like with a thoughtful um action. I mean, that's why
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: I'm always impressed with these dudes who have like lines
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: and poems and huge entrances like you guys are crazy,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Like I literally couldn't walk even I was so nervous.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Um I was thinking, I want to make a point
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: to say, talk to a producer, and they said they
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: were very like they made it would be important thing
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: that the girls were together during that intro and not
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: separate like Caitlyn and Britt, because with Caitlyn and Britt,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's just setting them up to actually be
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: competing directly against each other, and they wanted it to
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: be like a united front. That's good. Okay, this is
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: like the first season where I wasn't really turned off
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: by any intro, Like I can't think of one that
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: I was like that was gross? Really, um, what you
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: just one throughout come up to you as being not
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: I thought it was I had a big like a
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: lot of a big issue. We're not a big issue.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Like I'm not like thinking I didn't like loose sleepover. Oh,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: I know, I'm stupid. I thought the choir I thought
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: was inappropriate. I thought it was inappropriate for Clayton. I mean,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: this dude, like he was just trying to go through
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: this process. I know people maybe aren't the biggest fans
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: of Clayton, but he showed himself to now be a
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: very committed boyfriend to Susie, and he's you know, worked
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: his way out of this. You know, obviously his name
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: is going to be brought up because he was just
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: the last season. That's expected. But I thought to have
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: a choir uh sing a hateful song about any human
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: one is just hard to watch. And two it was kids, Like, yeah,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: kids doing this. If it was an adult choir, I'm like, whatever,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: that was just goofy. But you're gonna have a bunch
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: of kids spew hate in a song about another man
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: as you get out of a limo. For me, I
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: was I was over it for the moment it started,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: and I think it was something that I said. I
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: don't know where this came from. I don't know where
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: this was born from, but I did not enjoy it,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: and I did I thought it was one of the
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: worst internces I've ever seen on the show. I apologize
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: for that not coming to my mind. When you said
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: the word gross, I was thinking more like gross humor. Um.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I already talked about on the Gabby and
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Rachel episode yesterday how I thought that was just really
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: really distasteful. Um. Yeah, wow, that's who. But whose entrance
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: was that? That's what's weird. We think we think of
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: the chorus, but we have no idea, or at least
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: I have no idea who came out to that. Yeah,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: you're right, Ashley, because it's it's forgettable because we remember
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: the choir. We don't remember the person stepping out because
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: we're all probably so consumed with the choir. But it
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: was Alec who got out of the limit at that moment,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: uh and kind of walked forward. Again. I can't fully
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: blame him because I don't think he wrote that song,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: and I also don't think he had hired this choir.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: But but but I will say this, no matter what
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: the plans was, he agreed to it. And I think
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: that's what he agreed to have that be his entrance.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: And I think for that we need to go, Ah,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: come on, there's got to be more to this story
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: than what we see. Then I agree. Then there was
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Roby who did the card trick. And hey, I know
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Roby is a little bit off and that he got
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: eliminated in this episode, but you get me with the
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: card trick. I love Roby. I thought Roby. I'm shocked
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Roby at home because I think Roby is probably one
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: of the he won. Um. He'd be super entertaining in
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: the house where there's nothing to do because there are
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: cards that you can play. Two. He seemed very kind,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: uh and very nice. Now he's nervous, sure everybody is.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Maybe he's not as smooth as some of the other
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: guys are. He couldn't hide his nerves as much. That's
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: okay too. I liked Roby. I don't know if he
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: was meant to marry either of them, but I sure
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: as I wanted to see more of him. I want
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: to watch him for a few weeks at the least.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Do you think that his name is actually Roby or
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: is it Robbie and he likes to be interesting? Well,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: that's a good question. I don't know. I want to
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: I want to imagine his name's Robbie and he wants
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: to be interesting. I like that more. I mean, he
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: just seems like the type of guy actually that if
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: he was here two or three weeks one he would
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: be a fan favorite too. He would do and people
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: in the house would love him, and then three he
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: would shine and paradise. I'm not be saying romantically. I'm
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: just saying that he's like he would become one of
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: those people in bats our Nation that people just love
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: to meet and be around, because he's entertaining and he's intriguing.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: I think there's a lot more to Roby than what
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: we saw. I was shot, I guess, in short, I
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: was shocked. To go home. Okay, that's enough about Roby.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: He did the card trick, he went home. We won't
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: hear about him again. Maybe in Paratis. I don't know
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: if he's there. But what other intros were really kind
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: of that stood out to you? Okay, I won't say
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: it was like a specific one, but I will say
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: the first like five or ten minutes of intros, maybe
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: the first five guys that come out of the limo,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: I'm like impressed by, like cute, cute and nice seeming
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: cute and well put together like all that. And I
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: feel like it's been a while since we had a
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: season where it was like, ah, good catch, Oh this's
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: gonna be a good group, you know. And that was
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: the vibe that I got with that first limo or
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: so I would say the same thing. I really think
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: the first intro then that threw me off, you know,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: and the first intro threw you off. No, the first
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: intro that did throw me off, Like all of them
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: originally were like how intro's I believe should be done.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: They should just be an intro like I'm here, I'm
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: excited to talk to you, you look beautiful, all right,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: see you later kind of thing. Um, it was the
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: guy I I imagine if I could see myself doing this,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: trying to say it with the best of intentions and
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: then going to bed that night and banging my my
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: head against the pillow, being like, you are such an idiot.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: You are so awkward? Why can't you be smoother? That
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: was my dating life. Um, it's fun to be married
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: and give that up, but um, but it is the
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: guy that came up. It's like, I haven't had sex
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: in a year and a half. Oh my god, you're right.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: That was the first one that like I'm like watching
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: how you know, like I'm a watch I'm watching casually
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: and then like all of a sudden, I had sex
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: in here. And then you're like, perk up and you're
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: like what it was that? Like what was the point?
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Like was I mean he didn't and I imagine he
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: was like in his mind, he was like, Okay, I'm
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: gonna tell them that I've been really excited for this
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: and I'm super committed this and I've saved myself for
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: for a year and a half to to meet you all. Well, one,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: he didn't know he was gonna be on the show
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: for a year and a half, so there's like a
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: year there where he has to explain what he was
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: waiting on. And two all he said then was I
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: met sex in a year and a half because I've
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: been waiting for you too. And then there was like
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: an awkward silence and Gabby when he walks away, goes, well,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: that makes one of us. And I thought that was amazing,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Like I thought, she's so good, so funny, but weird, right,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: like that was awkward. That was not like it was
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: so weird. It was like he was missing a point.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Like the producers definitely like like, well, what can we
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: talk about that's really interesting about you? And then he
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: said that, and then they probably came up with this
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: something that that would come to a point like a meaning,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: and then like he totally missed it or just like
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: didn't deliver it with a confidence that he should have.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: I don't actually think that there's really anything you could
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: I don't think that was a bad move to say
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: in general. That's just that's weird. It's your first meeting,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: like if I'm yeah, like what if I go on
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: a blind date? Okay, I sit down at the table.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: I said, I'm so excited to meet you tonight. I
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: have had sex a year and a a half. Yeah, Like
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: that's weird your opening line at the bar. That's what
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: you get to think of this as, Hey, I'm a
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: good guy. I want you to know that, like I'm
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: not a player. I've had sex and a year and
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: a half. Like any girl is going to be like, well,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: I mean that's tight, Like, tell me, this is Ben Higgins.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: He was so openly you know, went without for a
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: long time. Yeah, my wife and I say it herself
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: from marriage with each other. Obviously because I'm national television.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: You know, I admitted the opposite. But Jessica and I
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: were together for three years. It wasn't. It's something we've
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: talked about many times. Um, but like that was not
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: just because opening line to me, you know, like it isn't.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: She didn't come like she we didn't have our first
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: date and she's like, hey, you know, by the way
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: I've been, I'm super excited to be here and I
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: just let you know I've had sex and you know
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: my lifetime. I'm like, no, that took a few dates.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: It took some like hey, tell me about yourself to me,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: what's important to you kind of conversations. Anyways, it was
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: weird to me. That threw me off. Any others stood
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: out to you, Ashley in terms of entrances, Um, Jacob
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: on the horse when the girls were like it's fabbio,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: it's fabio. I mean it's pretty classic. Um, massive, massive,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Pecks on the on the dude, I mean yeah, really
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: poked out there. Um, and he was oily of course
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: that's good. Yeah. And then there was Tino, and his
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: entrance to me felt like that classic ah he's it
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: entrance that we get. It was like a Jordan Rogers.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: It was like a Sean Booth. There's like that's the moment.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: It was the moment for one of them. I'm pretty
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: sure it's gonna be Rachel. Yeah, yeah, it was. It
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: was like he was confident, he's obviously good looking. Um.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: It was smooth, but again it was very simple. It
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: was hey, I'm here for you or you two or whoever.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: You know. He was there for the beginning and he
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: walks in and from that you can kind of just
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: see the spark. Now. I also have a theory, actually
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: the music changed when he got out of the limo. Yeah,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: so I think we remember, like we have a little
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: like thought, uh in the back of our minds about
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: him because the music supported his entrance, Like how the
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: music that's okay, Now you're gonna feel this for this guy,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: and then it's gonna go away and he's gonna stand
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: out in your heart. It's just like you know how
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: smells get you like a jog ear nostalgia, That music
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: will do the same thing, and it's such a cool
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: little mental trick. Yeah. Yeah, if I was, if I
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: was a contestant now, my only request to the show
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: would be make sure it's always really good music behind me. People.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Mine was never people, Mine was always do I think,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: um man, Okay, so Ashley, the entrances are done. We've
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: gone through the ones that stood out to us. It
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: is now time for Rachel and Gabby, as they say,
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: to divide and conquer and talk to all thirty two
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: men who have walked through that door. Uh. The opening speech,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: in my opinion, was great. It was what was needed. Uh.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: It was special. Um, the two of them together doing
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: it again. We get a sense of support were that
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: the two of them have for each other. I think
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: that's going to be a theme throughout this season. I also,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: after talking to Jesse last week on the podcast, I'm
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: not fully convinced that the show uh expected. Uh such
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: supports like this could have gone very poorly where the
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: two women do get jealous and envious and they collide
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: in But I think Gabbing Rachel are so great that
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: the show got really lucky, and the two of them
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: really do go through this whole season supporting each other,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: and I don't I don't know if the show. I
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: think once they met, gabbing Rachel like, yeah, these two
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: people will be great. But I think the show that
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: could have really backfired on them if they didn't have
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: that kind of strength within each other. Well, like I
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: said yesterday, it's like you girls are like so good,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Like you are good quality people. You're far better than me.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: You guys were encouraging each other to make out with
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: the other guy that you liked, Like what like these
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: are special to Yeah, I I don't know if I could.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't even know if I could do that.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: I think I would be jealous and envious. Um, but yeah,
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: they're like encouraging each other. I mean, the two of them,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: I just think are awesome. I'm a big fan of
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: the two of them. Okay, So Gavin Rachel didn't break
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: off to start talking to the men, Ashley, just like
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: we did with the intros. What conversations or what moments
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: really stood out to you good and bad? Alright, So
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: it's mostly Rachel's that stood out to me. So let's
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: start there one with the race car driver Jordan's love
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: that convo. He surprised her, He surprised us all, I
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: think he kind of looks like a baby. He's a
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: race car driver, and was just like something about him
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: getting out of the limit. It looks like a baby.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: He kind of looks like a little babe, A little babe.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: You know what. I think. You know, he's like you
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: find good looking? Yeah, okay, for sure? Do you Yeah?
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: I mean I think he's a good looking dude. I
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: think I think he's one of the better looking guys.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Like I definitely have my eye on him with the girls.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: I think he stood out to me if we'd have
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: to listen back, but he was in some of my
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: like guys to look out for in a good way
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: before the season started. Um, and he's a race carter.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: I mean that's it's just cool. He I guess there's
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: like a sense of young to me. Um And I
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: was like, oh, I don't know if like the girls
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: are going to be like down for like the young vibe.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: But he like he had like swag and like a
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: sweetness and I felt like, uh, definitely some sexual tension
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: between the two of them when they were going around
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: the car. I really liked that moment. Of course, I
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: really liked her moment with Tino. That was great at
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: the stairs, so cute. And then after she gave him
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: the first impression Rose. I love that moment between the
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: two of them too, Like, uh, if you look at
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: the scenes to the next episode, it's her making out
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: with you know, like every spot in the world. Well,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: I mean that's kind of tight. Yeah, you know who
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: the race car driver kind of looks like to me,
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Jeff Home No, come on, Ryan Philippe, Well, you know,
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: I love Ryan philipy is so much holy ship. Does
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: he kind of look like him? I love hi? Yes,
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: yes there is, yes, see a permanent youth. You know
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: what Ryan phillippies like forty seven. Yeah, he looks like
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: he's twenty two. I know. Oh my god. He talked
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: about swag and sexuality. Then he started with Rod philpy
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Um actually shifting in her seat. She's all bothered, Oh
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: my gosh. Okay, So then there was one other guy
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: for for Rachel that I was really feeling her way.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Does anybody comes to your mind for her? Even? Yeah?
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: Even that was so I like their convo so cute.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: Likes gonna be around a while. He's kind of like
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: on the Tina level. Maybe Night one he didn't kind
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: of stand out as much because he didn't have that unique,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: like staircase kind of moment. But I think even is uh,
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: I just think he's gonna be around a while. I
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: think he's kind of both of their types in a
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: lot of way. And he seemed um just even like
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: from his facial expressions, you know, which is all you
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: have to go off of really on Night one around
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: the other guys, he just kind of seems like that
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: guy that wanted people like um, I do say. I
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: will say, you know, the Tinos of the world who
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: get the first impression roles make me nervous because we
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: kind of get built up liking this contestant and then uh,
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: over the last few seasons sometimes they disappoint us or
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: we aren't sold out on him. However, Tino, and this
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: was such a small line that he said, but it's
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: awkward to get the first impression Rows. I remember kind
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: of when I was in the house and Sean got
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: the of impression Rows and he walked back in and
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: he sat down and like, you can't really help it,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: but you're jealous, you're angry, You're like, you know, it
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: could have been me. Uh And Tina walks into the
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: room and he goes, all right, guys, I'm gonna sit
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: here so you can all get like angry at me
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: or he said something like that, and it like made
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: it a joke, and then all of him kind of
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: laughed like he knew it was gonna be awkward, and
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: he confronted it, and he kind of did it in
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: a humble way, and I was like, I think this
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: dude might be legit, Like I don't think he's going
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: to disappoint us, because he he had the social awareness
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: to recognize how uncomfortable it was from to come back
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: into the room, and he also had the confidence to
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: speak it out loud to the whole group. And as
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: a result, I have a feeling that will continue for
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: the rest of the season. Unlike some who get the
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: first impression ros, you kind of sit down and we
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: hear him like in the I t M being like,
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: look at this, Yeah, I got the first impression, you
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: know that kind of stuff. Yeah, agreed, And then there's
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: Mario who got gab research impression rows. I didn't feel
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: as much between them as I did between Rachel and Tino.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: What about you, Well, I mean, I think it was
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: a I think it was a good moment. They were
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: both wanting somebody to kiss them. The race car driver
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: really missed the boat there on that one. I think
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: he had a great shot at first impression, as if
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: he just would have, you know, leaned in. However, it's
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: night one and you don't know, you know, what's appropriate
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: was not I would have thought no kissing on night
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: one if I especially at the time that we were
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: on the show, kissing on night one was not a norm,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: not annoying, and now it is. Yeah, but you know,
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: I think there is when when you do kiss somebody,
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: there is this level of I I like you, I'm
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: attracted you kind of feelings. So it is comfortable to do,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: but it's still uncomfortable because it's night one, You've just
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: met them, and you know that they're meeting a lot
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: of people. Uh I. So anyways, the Mario kiss like
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: that was just like an awkward kiss to me watching
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: it was like whoa Like they kind of went like
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: nose the nose for a bit. They didn't like. Yeah,
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: he said it was a good kiss. She was like,
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: I really vibed that, and I was like, oh really,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: because it didn't look the best a watch. I'm sure
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: there's more to it than what we saw. But they
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: did go nose the nose for a bit, which is
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: always uncomfortable, and they didn't really get out of the
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: nose the nose angle for a few seconds there, which
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: kind of was hard to watch. Um. I get really
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: uncomfortable when people kiss on this show, so I have
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: a hard time watching it. But I did feel like
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: his assertiveness and his ability to take that step, and
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: and just his his question asking made me say, Okay,
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: there's something here. Maybe maybe we don't have the spark
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: like we think we have a Tino and Rachel, but
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: we have something there. So I wasn't shocked that he
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: got the first impression Rose. Really, um, I did, and
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: I want to hear you know, this is obviously something
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: that is is really cool. But unlike when you watch
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: show in the past, every guy, at least that I
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: remember last night, asked for permission to kiss them. I
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: like to pick up night one for night one. That's
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: cool because you literally have had a ten minute conversation
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: and you're like, can I test the waters Yeah, that
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: was like, Yeah, if that was like on a nine
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: hour date, I'd be like, you don't have to do that. Well, yeah,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: I mean once, once there's like chemistry and there's a
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: relationship built, then like, you know, maybe you don't have
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: to ask every time for permission. But um, I did
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: find it respectful and something unique that every guy at
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: least that I remember that asked like that wanted to
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: kiss them ask them permission first. Mm hmm. Then there
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: was Eric who kissed Gabby but did not kiss Rachel,
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: but had a good moment with both of them, lots
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: of laughter, good chemistry between the two. I thought he
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: was going to go from Gabby and kiss her and
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: immediately go kiss Rachel and then we would have had
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: a nice little conversation on our hands, But that is
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: not how it went. He was probably smart and not
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: to in that, but he was definitely a little hurt
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: at the fact that he didn't get one of their
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: first impression roses. And thinking back, I do feel like
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: Abby had more of a chemistry, like a natural ease
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: with him than she did with Mario, but maybe I'm wrong. Yeah,
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: we got to see a lot more of the conversation
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: with Eric. I wondered if he was gonna kiss both
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: now that we know how comfortable that two of them
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: are in this scenario, I wonder what would have gone
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: on if he if they would have said, I kissed Eric, Oh,
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: I kissed Eric, and uh. I thought it was very
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: wise of him, not that he didn't want to kiss Rachel,
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: but I thought it was very wise of him to
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: be like, hey, night one, like, let's see how this
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: thing plays out, because you don't want to be that guy.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: I just don't think you do. You might, it might
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: work out for you, It might be a fine thing.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: I think he's a front runner here, but you just
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: don't want to be that guy in the back of
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: your mind that has kissed both leads on Night one.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: I had preconceived notions about Eric from his picture that was,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: you know, shown people think he looks like a nick
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: vill Yeah, And after kind of hearing him talk to
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: both and hearing his I t M s I, it
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: was a lot more in favor of Eric. I think
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: he had a good head on his shoulders. I thought
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: he was not as maybe cocky as I assumed he
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: was going to be. See, I think he's cocky, really,
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: I think he's going to end up being cocky. Just
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: happened subtle signs to me that he was like, oh
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: and I get first and fresh and rows. Yeah, well
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: is it? Is it Eric or Ethan that I had
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: the conversation about the chest hair? Because I thought that's
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: when I really liked that person too. Was one of
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: them had a conversation about chest hair and his his
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: line so quickly to Gabyl was do you shave your
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: chest hair? And I thought that's hilarious. I thought it
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: was hilarious. Yeah, And I don't know. I think I
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: thought it was a good first like funny, lighthearted conversation
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: and great first like line, knowing Gabby's personality that she
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: was gonna enjoy that like kind of humor. So was
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: that logan? No, it was one of the It was
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: one of It was either it was one of the guys.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: It was one of the guys. But whoever did it?
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: I think I like them a lot too. Okay, there's
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: there's one other one other guy that I finched it out,
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: and that's Ryan from Boston. He made Gabby laugh a lot. Yeah,
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: you said that you thought Gabby really liked him? You
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: don't think so? No, I don't not think so. I don't.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: I don't think I felt it as maybe as clearly
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: as you did. But yeah, the laughter was important. Um,
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: and I think I'd only had one person in this list.
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: It's Hayden. I thought Hayden was kind of quietly in
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: the mix all night. Um, yes he was. I thought
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: he kind of It was kind of the like quiet
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: underdog who I believe we're gonna get to see a
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: lot more of this season from Florida. Yeah, there's one
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: from Florida that was like that. Rachel was like, Oh,
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: my brother lives in Tampa and you just think there
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: is something there. Yeah, it might have been him. But
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: those are the guys that stood out to us on
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: Night one, the guys that kind of made that will
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: be watching now again. As as hard as it is
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: for Gabby and Rachel to understand and know these guys names,
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: it's even harder for us. We won't remember them until
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: probably week five. You don't remember them either. Yeah, but
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: it's the guys and you know what they were talking
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: about and you know the vibe at the moment. Okay,
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: So we talked about the first impression Rose Mario and
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: Tino get the first impression Rose Tino from Rachel, Mario
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: got his from Gabby. They're moving on, which brings us
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: into the final um part of the show. One quick
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: note as we go into the Rose ceremony that did
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: not exist was that I really became a bigger fan
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: of Rachel after she admitted her fear of clowns, which
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: is my fear and which was would be my answer
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: if I was sitting in the moment. Clowns are weird
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: to me. Um. I don't know why they exist, and
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know what they're good for. It's like a
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: it's like a twice a year conversation that brings up
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: the fear of clouds doesn't make any sense. It's so horrible.
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: I don't understand as well why they exist, especially in Yeah,
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: they're weird. So uh, kudos to Rachel for being honest
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: and to speaking on behalf of all of us who
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: have a fear of clowns. Okay, uh, Well, we know
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: that the Rose Ceremony now gets canceled and that Gabby
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: and Rachel send home three people and three people only
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: the twins. Let's start. They're shocking in some ways that
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: they went home. You guys, I thought that they were
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: going to be like Pete Davidson twins from Staten Island
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: based on their pictures, and I thought that they were
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: going to be like B d E, you know, And
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: I thought they were gonna be a funny comedy duo together.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I guess I just literally thought that
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: they're going to show up like Pete david'son and they
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: were the opposite of Pete. It's in there basically just
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: like guys out of college that were still like into
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: talking about college, and they were really stale. They were
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: the opposite of what I was expecting. It was just
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: like hanging out with two guys that uh yeah. It's like,
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. This is like the most
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: this is like the most actually common ever. Ben put
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: yourself back in the day when you like go on
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: vacation with your family and you'd like scour for like
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: girls to like kind of hang out with with the
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: for the week. You you you were late, Yeah, yeah, okay, great,
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: So my sister and I would go around and do
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: this like on a cruise. Right. It's like almost like
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: you're interviewing my boyfriends for the week, and then you
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: sit down with these two and you'd be like, Oh,
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: they were okay to hang out with like for an hour,
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: but like, we're not going to hang out with them
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: for the rest of the week. Well. It's weird too,
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: because they were I think two most followed people on
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: social media going into this season. So my expectation was, Okay,
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: they're doing this and they're going to become uh kind
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: of celebrities from the show, but off the show, and
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: they're gonna use this to increase their following and there whatever,
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: and so they're gonna be around a while. For the
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: two of them to go home on night one was
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: a little shocking because they are good looking and they
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: are twins, and there is something to that. I don't
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: know what is to that now after kind of being
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: a part of the Ferguson twins on are My season,
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: it was hard. You know, they're both really incredible and
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: so I wanted them both around. They were both reunique
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: in their own ways. But it got weird after a
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: while because it felt like then just in that environment
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: when the group's hanging out together, like they sat next
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: to each other because they're comfortable with each other and
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: they're already friends with each other and they know each other,
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: and then you go on dates and if the two
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: of them are there, it's weird and it's hard to
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: kind of separate which ones who uh, And I don't
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: know what storyline I guess could have existed unless they
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: kind of split off in one day to one and
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: one day to the other. But yeah, they went home.
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: But I do think it was shocking for most people
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: because I think well after they shut up, people thought, hey,
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: they'll be around a while, and the conversation, like Gabby's
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: facial expressions during that conversation where she kind of sat
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: in the middle, one on one side and the other
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: felt like there's no way these guys are around, Like
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: there's no way this is who she's like going to
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: try to date long term. Yeah. I have to say
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: that I relate because when my sister came to Paradise,
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: as much as I loved having her as like that
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: emotional crutch, it was not good for me, Like I
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: just was going to hang out with her and stick
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: by her side and not go and meet new people.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: It's just it was bad. Also, just think I should
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: add that, um, it is crazy the fact that we
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: get to we get a set of guy twins for
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: the first time, right, just like the Ferguson twins, and
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: it seems like, oh, it's like revolutionary. And then for
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: them to be like that, it's weird because I'm to
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: be eliminated at Night one is super crazy. Yeah, we've
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: found some like more dynamic twins. Well, I think the
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: casting department probably thought they hit a home run by
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: finding two good looking guy twins to come on the
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: show and agree to come on the show, And then
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: the casting department's watching Night one's episode, they're like, you
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: gotta be kidding me, Like, we worked so hard for
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: this moment for years. This was our this is our
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: big get, and now they're gone. Sure they're upset. Um,
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: you know, it's hard, Ashley if If, I'm if, we're
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: both honest to have too much of a judgment on
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: Night one because it is such a weird environment and
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: there are a lot of nerves, there's a lot of anxiety.
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: Some people flourish in it, some people don't, and it
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: takes them weeks to kind of come out of their
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: shell and actually show off who they are and what
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: they stand for. And so, yes, the two of them
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: didn't shine on Night one, it doesn't mean I mean
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: they have a social media filling. Maybe they're more comfortable
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: kind of behind that, but they just didn't show up.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: Who are they funny on social media? It? Did you
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: look this up? I think they dance. I don't know,
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: and I think it's I think it's like TikTok Tiktoker's well.
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: The The other person that went home was somebody that
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: did show up tonight one, and he showed up well,
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: and he's a memorable character from night one. I want
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: to date you way. But like audience, I liked Roby.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: I thought that dude had something to him that we
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: need to see more of, and I hope we can
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: see more of it. I liked Roby. I thought he
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: had confidence. I thought he put on a tux that
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: he looked. He played the part um. Yes, he was
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: probably like not fitting in with the group. But I
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: I think long term Roby is one of those types
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: of guys that might like grow on you a bit
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: and you're like, I could date this dude entertainment for life. Now.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: We talked about this with Abby and Rachel, so parton
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: us if you're kind of sharing this conversation for the
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: second time. But The fact that they pulled the guys
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: out to eliminate them instead of doing it at the
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: Rose ceremony, to me, felt more like a personal out.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: At least if you get eliminated at the night one
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: Rose ceremony, you're like, uh, you know, they didn't get
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: to know me whatever, But like they pull them aside
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: and they're like, you know, we did get to know you,
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: and we don't like it. I know that there's no
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: right way, as we told them to eliminate people. There
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: isn't right. I mean there you can think of a
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: thousand ways to do it. And I do feel like
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: the personal kind of rejection is uh at the time,
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: it feels better to do because you're feeling like you're
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: giving people um that that that time, however, I watched
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: it and I was just like, oh, how would you
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: like to be the three dudes that don't even make
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: it to week two? Like you're just you can't even
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: you can't even make the cut that didn't exist, like
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: the you're not having a rows room. You couldn't even
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: make the cut that did not happen. You couldn't even
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: make it to the first row ceremony. The connection was
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: so bad but also what they did was probably the
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: right thing to do. Did you imagine them going through
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: like roses or how was it thirty two guys because
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: Roses and just be like the three that are eliminated
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: there now, like what they did was right, but it
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: also is just like it hurt to watch and I
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: can't imagine, like you know, you you think about the
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: people going back home. So those guys are on a
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: flight that night or the next morning to go back home.
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: They pull up to their parents house or to their apartment.
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: Their parents like what happened? You're like, I gott eliminated there? Like, oh,
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: you got eliminated night one day, and they're like, well,
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: kind of half of night one kind of to make
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: them feel better. If the girls only talked to half
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: the guys, that means like that's just for sake of
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: easy math, say like they talked to fifteen guys, so
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: then they were rejected from a pile of fifteen guys,
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: not a pile of thirty. Yeah you're making Yeah, that's nice. Um,
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: you know this happens now twice, where before the Rose
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: ceremony even existed, somebody goes home. Last time it was
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: with Brian if you remember Ryan in the notebook? Uh?
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: Was that wasn't that night one? Or not night? Was
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: that the week after? What mean Ryan with the notebook
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: full of yeah felt yeah that was on to me?
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know that one? Was it week one? I
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: don't know, there's sometime around there. But uh, these two
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: women they let roby and the two twins I don't
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: remember there in Haymes unfortunately go home. Uh so they
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: don't make it to the first rose to me. But
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: the guys are going on to week two, most of them,
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: and it's kind of where the episode ends, which brings
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: us then to the preview for the rest of the season,
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: which Ashley, you had a lot of feelings on. So
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: walk us through the preview for the rest of the season.
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: What were your thoughts? What were you thinking? Uh? And
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: do you get more excited after watching that preview for
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: what's going to happen? I get a little concerned after
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: watching the preview that, um, it's not gonna end happily
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: for one of them. There's a lot of tears. I
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: think there will be a guy who well, it's pretty
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: obvious there will be a guy that goes from like
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: teams so and so to the other team, and that'll
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: be hard. We see Rachel get some roses rejected, so
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: it seems like there will be a time where like
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: they have to draft their team, and the guys of
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: course have a say on which team they're going to
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: go to. It's that mutual or decision um um. And
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: then I'm just excited where things go with Rachel and
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: Tino because we see so much of them. Oh my god,
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: if if something happens with Tino, that would be devastating.
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: I'm already so invested in them, and I think that
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: is basically what I gathered from. We also don't see
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: any like um preview of an engagement. We didn't, But
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: they're both happy. There was something out. They're both happy. Yeah,
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: you can be happy and also be single. I would agree.
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: I wrote a book about it. Yeah, has anybody ever
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: Has anybody ever left the show and said, yeah, I
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: got off the show, how was my experience? You know,
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: tease us will the ending? And then they go I'm miserable.
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: None of them like I'm miserable, And I've definitely been
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: people that should have said that. Yeah, I get it. Um.
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: I think the preview point to some more drama that
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: we kind of expect. I will say that Tino is
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: definitely a front runner. I think he is. His storyline
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: with Rachel is going to be impactful at some level. Uh.
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: I'm curious to see how this whole like teaming up,
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: which side are you on? Plays out, because it feels
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: like a really hard math problem to me, like I
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: have to pick you, you have to pick me. We
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: have to be in our top fift team. Now let's
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: do the the checklist to see if I'm on your
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: team or if I'm on the other team. I don't
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: know how that's gonna play out. I'm still curious about that,
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: but it is gonna be a good season, Ashley. Uh,
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: and I am still more excited than ever about Gabby
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: and Rachel and watching them together on television, but also
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: seeing how their individual experiences play out. So first, it's
• 54:29
