Speaker 1: This is the Benn and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
0:03
Speaker 1: with i R Radio, and we're back for another week
0:06
Speaker 1: with my amazing co host Ashley. Oh thanks, Ben, You're
0:11
Speaker 1: so sweet. Um. I think that you are feeling good today. Yeah,
0:17
Speaker 1: I feel like you're feeling good today. I can see it.
0:19
Speaker 1: You have your shirt off. You just revealed to me
0:22
Speaker 1: and the producers that you love being shirtless around the house,
0:26
Speaker 1: but that you have a pet peeve. And that is
0:30
Speaker 1: when the when Bachelor Nation guys habitually post shirtless pictures
0:35
Speaker 1: on Instagram, is this your bend's bitches of the week,
0:39
Speaker 1: Yeah it is. You know. Nick Vile is one of
0:41
Speaker 1: my friends. He's one of your friends. I will tell
0:43
Speaker 1: him in a second that I think it is unreal
0:46
Speaker 1: how many shirtless pictures he posts. I think it is.
0:49
Speaker 1: I just think it's weird. I think it's odd. I
0:51
Speaker 1: don't like it, especially when you have a significant other.
0:55
Speaker 1: That's where it really crosses, doesn't Well he can. I
1:00
Speaker 1: I'm saying like I can still get on him because
1:02
Speaker 1: he's a friend, and we all think it's like funny
1:04
Speaker 1: and ridiculous how often Nick takes off his shirt. I
1:07
Speaker 1: think he even thinks it's ridiculous. What really gets under
1:10
Speaker 1: my skin is when you have a significant other and
1:12
Speaker 1: you're posting those pictures knowing the comments and what you're
1:16
Speaker 1: doing to everybody out there, It's it's a lot, so wait,
1:20
Speaker 1: what are they doing to everyone out there? Is a trap?
1:26
Speaker 1: It's a thirst trap. It's making me envious, It's making
1:29
Speaker 1: me and probably others mad, It's making people kind of
1:34
Speaker 1: probably think some some very uh interesting thoughts. I don't
1:39
Speaker 1: love it. I don't I've never understood it. Um And
1:42
Speaker 1: I think it takes a lot of confidence, which hey,
1:45
Speaker 1: if you've got the abs, maybe maybe it changes things.
1:49
Speaker 1: And I just don't. Um, But wouldn't you think would
1:52
Speaker 1: be weird if Jared every let's say, once a every
1:56
Speaker 1: three weeks posted a picture shirtless on Instagram, it would
1:59
Speaker 1: be weirds As we're married. And I want to go
2:01
Speaker 1: back and defend Nick for a second. I think Nick
2:04
Speaker 1: takes shirtless picks, but he's very self aware of it.
2:07
Speaker 1: He's like, ha, ha, isn't it funny that I'm posting
2:09
Speaker 1: other shirtless pick? What about Tyler Cameron who literally doesn't
2:13
Speaker 1: seem like he owns a shirt. It really feels like
2:17
Speaker 1: it's like working from him from an attention standpoint. But
2:22
Speaker 1: I I look at it and I'm like, I can't
2:24
Speaker 1: follow this because it's it's it's not fun for me.
2:28
Speaker 1: Like that's not like I'm not a dude wanting to
2:30
Speaker 1: follow a dude who takes off a bunch of his
2:32
Speaker 1: pictures with his shirt off all the time. It's not
2:33
Speaker 1: my thing. Um, yeah it is. It's a pet peeve
2:36
Speaker 1: of mine. I'll put it out there. Um. And also,
2:40
Speaker 1: so here's the reason my shirt off today. So yeah,
2:42
Speaker 1: and then I'll reveal something silly about myself. I went
2:46
Speaker 1: on a long run just about ten minutes ago. I
2:50
Speaker 1: was working on the driveway and then Jessica's brother wanted
2:53
Speaker 1: a haircut, so I cut his hair. So I took
2:55
Speaker 1: off my shirt so I didn't get hair all over it.
2:56
Speaker 1: And then I was sweaty from my run. I was like,
2:59
Speaker 1: I'm not putting my shirt back on. In fact, i'm
3:01
Speaker 1: with family here on this podcast, so I'm just gonna
3:03
Speaker 1: sit down and through the whole podcast shirtless to cool down.
3:06
Speaker 1: But also, I'm just feeling good today. I had a
3:09
Speaker 1: good call. I'll close it here. I had a good
3:11
Speaker 1: call today. Already, it's been a rough couple of weeks
3:13
Speaker 1: for me personally professionally with the restaurants in the coffee shops.
3:18
Speaker 1: I've talked about it. We don't need to talk about anymore.
3:19
Speaker 1: But um I had a call today with a group
3:22
Speaker 1: of people from Generous, the Generous Ambassadors, and they all
3:25
Speaker 1: shared stories. There's forty of them, of stories of good
3:29
Speaker 1: things that are happening in their life and around the
3:31
Speaker 1: world and what they're doing. And it fired me up
3:33
Speaker 1: because there's some people out there doing some awesome stuff
3:36
Speaker 1: during the shut down for others. And so I was like,
3:38
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm encouraged today. I'm so encouraged that my
3:41
Speaker 1: shirt came off. Okay. So I've had a habit of
3:46
Speaker 1: wearing my underwear around the house, like my men's underwear,
3:50
Speaker 1: so like boy short underwear and just's a tank top
3:53
Speaker 1: around my mom my, sister and Jared, and they're like,
3:58
Speaker 1: you know, you should probably put some pants on. It's
4:00
Speaker 1: kind of weird. It's weird, and you don't look like
4:04
Speaker 1: ever to Sucremol, you look like Tommy Pickles and those things.
4:10
Speaker 1: And I didn't think I was sexy, but there is
4:12
Speaker 1: something that I don't like wearing pants. I prefer shorts
4:16
Speaker 1: for sure, but here at my parents house, I don't
4:18
Speaker 1: really have a lot of shorts. So I'm like, hey,
4:20
Speaker 1: I'm wearing boy shorts like they're very covering. They're far
4:23
Speaker 1: more conservative than my bikini bottoms. And sometimes when I
4:27
Speaker 1: wake up and I come up the stairs and I
4:28
Speaker 1: have a cup of coffee in the morning, I'll sell
4:30
Speaker 1: on the couch just my underwear. But apparently it's not
4:33
Speaker 1: sexy nor do they appreciate it. So it's too bad. Sorry,
4:37
Speaker 1: are you gonna change? He's gonna keep going. Yeah, Well,
4:40
Speaker 1: they gave me to talk about it, and and then
4:47
Speaker 1: the next day I did again. But the reason was
4:49
Speaker 1: because I was cleaning the house and I didn't want
4:51
Speaker 1: to get like clorox and bleach on my my pants,
4:54
Speaker 1: so I said, I'll put pants on what I'm done
4:56
Speaker 1: cleaning that Ashley. This is This summarizes quarantining with your
5:03
Speaker 1: family in one story. Things are a change in, but
5:07
Speaker 1: things are not a change in. Here we're back for
5:09
Speaker 1: another week of the Almost Famous podcast. If you listen,
5:12
Speaker 1: and if you appreciate this podcast whatsoever, please go to
5:16
Speaker 1: wherever you listen to podcasts and rate us and comment
5:20
Speaker 1: on our podcast. Things aren't changing here, Ashley. It's been
5:25
Speaker 1: awesome talking to you week O a week, and I'm
5:29
Speaker 1: telling you, Bachelor Nation hasn't slowed down, not at all.
5:33
Speaker 1: It's unreal. It's crazy. So we have some hot topics
5:36
Speaker 1: that we're gonna run through real quick today. We're also
5:38
Speaker 1: gonna break down this week's episode of Listened to Your Heart.
5:42
Speaker 1: I've said it last week that I thought the show
5:45
Speaker 1: really took a big dip in like kind of my
5:48
Speaker 1: my personal um interest towards the show. Yeah, but I
5:53
Speaker 1: think this week it picked up again. And actually, I'm
5:57
Speaker 1: excited to hear your thoughts in just a few minutes
5:59
Speaker 1: because I know that you've stayed very engaged. But before
6:02
Speaker 1: we do, let's take one break. When we come back,
6:04
Speaker 1: we're gonna break down the hot topics in Bachelor Nation.
6:07
Speaker 1: We'll be back on the Almost Face podcast and we're
6:20
Speaker 1: back on the Almost Says podcasts, and we are here
6:22
Speaker 1: to do hot topics. Ben The first hot topic is
6:27
Speaker 1: the announcement of a new show for the Bachelor, but
6:29
Speaker 1: it's basically a bunch of reruns. So ABC is set
6:32
Speaker 1: to air Bachelor the Best of Series in place of
6:35
Speaker 1: the Bachelorette. So actually crazy crazy is that The Bachelorette
6:40
Speaker 1: was supposed to premiere in uh literally a week and
6:45
Speaker 1: a half. Isn't that nuts? Like as of right now,
6:48
Speaker 1: Claire was supposed to be like getting engaged this week.
6:51
Speaker 1: So actually you follow this stuff? Is there any update
6:55
Speaker 1: on when and if and how The Bachelorette is going
6:58
Speaker 1: to be filmed, because they've been started yet. No. I mean,
7:01
Speaker 1: the last thing I heard was what we reported a
7:04
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago that they were thinking about renting
7:06
Speaker 1: out a hotel and quarantining the entire cast and crew
7:11
Speaker 1: to that hotel for the five weeks shoot. And I
7:14
Speaker 1: still think that seems like the most pausible way of
7:17
Speaker 1: filming these days, and that they would be filming in
7:19
Speaker 1: July and August and then I would be set to
7:21
Speaker 1: air in September. If if this first headline does not
7:26
Speaker 1: point to ABC's reliance on The Bachelor, I don't know
7:30
Speaker 1: what does ABC to air Bachelor best of series in
7:34
Speaker 1: place of The Bachelor at Ashley tell us what this
7:38
Speaker 1: will be? You've highlighted it, but going to detail of
7:40
Speaker 1: bit so in the replace of The Bachelorette, they're going
7:45
Speaker 1: to be airing a ten episode series called The Bachelor,
7:49
Speaker 1: the most unforgettable ever. It's gonna start airing on June eighth,
7:54
Speaker 1: and each episode is three hours, and it's going to
8:00
Speaker 1: highlight the wildest moments from the franchise is eighteen year history.
8:04
Speaker 1: This is why The New York Post is reporting Chris
8:08
Speaker 1: Harrison will be the host, and um if it sounds
8:12
Speaker 1: like it sounds like he's going to be filming this
8:16
Speaker 1: from the driveway of the Bachelor mansion in you know,
8:20
Speaker 1: the Calabasas area of California, and that they're going to
8:23
Speaker 1: use a really small crew to work with him ensuring safety. Um,
8:28
Speaker 1: what's what always what these specials always make me think of,
8:32
Speaker 1: are what moments are we going to see? And how
8:36
Speaker 1: many moments that are truly pretty forgettable are they gonna air?
8:40
Speaker 1: If it's ten episodes with three hours each, meaning you know,
8:48
Speaker 1: I don't know the math on that seems like it
8:49
Speaker 1: would be a simple thirty hours, but then with commercials
8:53
Speaker 1: or whatnot, it's gonna be less than that. So let's
8:54
Speaker 1: just say it's to twenty hours. Am I doing this
8:58
Speaker 1: math right? Twenty hours of wildest moments from the past
9:04
Speaker 1: eighteen years, So it's gonna be a lot of Bachelor
9:07
Speaker 1: and Bachelorettes that we don't remember, a lot of cast
9:09
Speaker 1: people that we don't remember. Um. But I guess it's
9:13
Speaker 1: cool because a lot of the seasons that we as
9:15
Speaker 1: like millennials, have invested ourselves in um or haven't invested
9:21
Speaker 1: ourselves in will we'll be able to see those you
9:24
Speaker 1: know from our high school years and such. So it'll
9:28
Speaker 1: be cool. It's gonna be a really interesting show. I
9:33
Speaker 1: am not gonna be watching when it comes to my
9:36
Speaker 1: season with just beside me. That is just so sad
9:39
Speaker 1: to think about her having to see that season. But Ben,
9:42
Speaker 1: I must ask you, yeah, of your time on the
9:46
Speaker 1: show Bachelorette or Bachelor, which scenes do you feel will
9:52
Speaker 1: hit the air again? It's hard to say, um fully.
9:56
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the I Love you will definitely
9:59
Speaker 1: be a thing. Me not. But when it comes to
10:02
Speaker 1: the Bachelor at Caitlin season had so many memorable moments.
10:05
Speaker 1: One of the moments that I enjoyed the most was
10:08
Speaker 1: when Tanner uh and I and Jared want a sex
10:12
Speaker 1: ad date. I think that was I don't know if
10:14
Speaker 1: actually Jared was on that date, but Tanner, I know
10:18
Speaker 1: was there. That was That was kind of my first
10:21
Speaker 1: moment to relax on the show and actually start to
10:23
Speaker 1: enjoy that experience. The second, which is what I really
10:27
Speaker 1: hope they show because it has marked so much of
10:30
Speaker 1: my life, is me feeling unlovable. Like that moment to
10:35
Speaker 1: me was, honestly, to this day, the moment that I
10:38
Speaker 1: felt like I could finally be free of an insecurity
10:41
Speaker 1: I had held for a long time. And uh, and
10:43
Speaker 1: so it's just it's all I mean, honestly, it's just
10:45
Speaker 1: really good for me to see and to feel again,
10:49
Speaker 1: because that was really a real moment for me. So
10:52
Speaker 1: I think I've recently told you this, but your sex
10:56
Speaker 1: at talk was just your your moment that struck me
11:03
Speaker 1: as like you're going to be a Bachelor's star moment.
11:06
Speaker 1: Does that make sense? Like at that moment, I was like,
11:08
Speaker 1: this isn't gonna be some regular cast member, Like this
11:11
Speaker 1: guy is the front runder to be the Bachelor for sure,
11:14
Speaker 1: And I I mean, like Ben, it sounds really awkward,
11:17
Speaker 1: but like at that moment, my mom and I rewounded
11:20
Speaker 1: multiple times and I was like, I have a crush
11:21
Speaker 1: on Ben Higgins. I feel like all them did well
11:26
Speaker 1: and and that's sweet, you know, Ash, I'm glad, but
11:29
Speaker 1: it is it's like the first remember, because it was
11:32
Speaker 1: my first moment to like take a deep breath and
11:34
Speaker 1: be like, holy cow, I can I can do this,
11:37
Speaker 1: Like I can be myself here in the midst of
11:40
Speaker 1: this craziness. Ashley, What is it for you? What moments
11:42
Speaker 1: do you hope comes out with with you a part
11:44
Speaker 1: of it? Well, I know that the bad Lands will
11:46
Speaker 1: come out, and I know people love the bad Land
11:49
Speaker 1: scene and I love the bad Land scene too, And
11:52
Speaker 1: I think everybody who says that it's like the most
11:55
Speaker 1: unforgettable two on one ever, it's funny because every time
11:58
Speaker 1: I watched a two on one, I'm like, oh no,
12:00
Speaker 1: this one, this one is definitely more epic. Uh. That
12:02
Speaker 1: person was definitely wittier. That person has way better comebacks
12:06
Speaker 1: than I did. That's what I think of when I
12:08
Speaker 1: think of that scene. It's like, I know that I
12:11
Speaker 1: was so proud of myself for telling Kelsey off in
12:14
Speaker 1: the bad Lands, and I was very excited to see
12:17
Speaker 1: it again and the reaction that I got was thrilling,
12:23
Speaker 1: and I was proud of myself. But the only thing
12:28
Speaker 1: is that I wish I sounded a little bit smarter
12:31
Speaker 1: while explaining that I was smart. So, like, there I
12:34
Speaker 1: am trying to like prove to this woman that just
12:38
Speaker 1: because like I'm into some vain things doesn't mean that
12:42
Speaker 1: I'm a, you know, a surface type person and that
12:46
Speaker 1: I had depth and that I was really well educated
12:49
Speaker 1: and then I am smart. And then, um, I just
12:53
Speaker 1: didn't sound super as articulate as I imagined I did
12:57
Speaker 1: in the moment. But I'm seriously still very thankful grateful
13:02
Speaker 1: that people think that I was. So I feel like,
13:05
Speaker 1: every time I see that scene back, I'm like, oh,
13:07
Speaker 1: you could have done better, you could have done No.
13:12
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I think we all have those
13:15
Speaker 1: months to stand out to us. Uh, it's coming out soon,
13:18
Speaker 1: Bachelor Nation. You'll be having some more Bachelor stuff to watch.
13:23
Speaker 1: But we have been entertained, Ashley by this next headline
13:26
Speaker 1: one that I feel like is getting attention, but I'm
13:31
Speaker 1: confused on why it's not getting more. This is a
13:34
Speaker 1: big deal. The Bachelor's Peter Webber says he got it
13:37
Speaker 1: right with girlfriend Kelly Flanagan. They are officially together, Ashley
13:42
Speaker 1: tell us what you know, well, um, you know, and
13:48
Speaker 1: they're together. The mid a Instagram official this week. Um,
13:52
Speaker 1: he said in the Instagram caption you caught Me Let
13:55
Speaker 1: the Adventure Begin that was posted on Sunday, a longside
14:00
Speaker 1: a picture of him jet setting in the sunset with
14:03
Speaker 1: Kelly as his co pilot or in the you know
14:06
Speaker 1: the captains are the co captain's chair and then um,
14:12
Speaker 1: that's it. It seems like his parents also posted pictures
14:16
Speaker 1: of the two of them together reaffirming that they are official.
14:21
Speaker 1: Is there anybody more excited for this than Barbe No,
14:24
Speaker 1: definitely not Barbara. Barb is so happy, like so happy
14:30
Speaker 1: this this all worked, This all worked how how she
14:33
Speaker 1: wanted it to. Um, it's came full circle. But Peter
14:37
Speaker 1: Weber is with one of his ladies from the season,
14:40
Speaker 1: Kelly flannagain. They are still quarantining together. They seem happy.
14:46
Speaker 1: We've had Peter on, we had Kelly on and almost
14:49
Speaker 1: depth a few Yeah, it was like what three and
14:51
Speaker 1: a half weeks ago and they were like, oh no, no, casual,
14:55
Speaker 1: not defining the relationship. But I guess in quarantine you
14:59
Speaker 1: define it fast. Yeah, So we're happy for him. I
15:03
Speaker 1: know a lot of bachel Nation is criticizing them, but ultimately,
15:06
Speaker 1: in ten years, what we'll look back on is are
15:08
Speaker 1: they happy and did this work? And I hope it is.
15:12
Speaker 1: It seems like it's working for a lot of people
15:13
Speaker 1: from his season because Bachelor alum Hannah and Slus spotted
15:18
Speaker 1: with Steelers Mason Rudolph. Yeah, so let's address the elephant
15:25
Speaker 1: in the room here. These two aren't doing the best
15:27
Speaker 1: job at social distancing. They've been seeing three times together,
15:34
Speaker 1: um out and about and they they're like on a
15:38
Speaker 1: coffee date recently, so they went to Starbucks, picked up coffee.
15:41
Speaker 1: They've been strolling and I guess this is the guy
15:44
Speaker 1: that Hannah kind of alluded to when we were interviewing
15:48
Speaker 1: her a couple of weeks ago. I think they're a
15:50
Speaker 1: cute couple for sure. Um, if you guys don't know,
15:54
Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph is the Steeler's backup quarterback and he um
15:59
Speaker 1: was the one had that crazy helmet hit in the
16:02
Speaker 1: head controversy last fall. And he is, uh twenty four
16:08
Speaker 1: and she used twenty four. And I don't know how
16:12
Speaker 1: this romance got started, but I'm assuming this is probably
16:16
Speaker 1: a d M situation. What do you think you know
16:19
Speaker 1: it's a Well, I I'm assuming that just because I
16:21
Speaker 1: think that's how a lot of stuff works. These days,
16:23
Speaker 1: especially when we are at a distance and there hasn't
16:25
Speaker 1: been a lot of group gatherings. Actually, this points to
16:29
Speaker 1: a common theme though that's been happening over last let's
16:32
Speaker 1: say three years, and it's happened off and on before,
16:34
Speaker 1: but really got heightened over the last three years. Is
16:37
Speaker 1: Bachelor Nation contestants dating celebrities or people already in the
16:42
Speaker 1: spotlight after the show. It's the d m NG thing.
16:47
Speaker 1: It's just it makes it so easy to connect with
16:50
Speaker 1: anybody who is famous. And there's a lot of celebrity
16:55
Speaker 1: fans out there, so of course of their age appropriate,
16:59
Speaker 1: they're going to reach out to somebody to think is
17:02
Speaker 1: cute from the show? You know what's funny? And I'm
17:05
Speaker 1: gonna make this about me for a second, is um
17:08
Speaker 1: You know if you asked me, and I think we
17:10
Speaker 1: remember talking about this when I got off The Bachelor
17:12
Speaker 1: app before I was the Bachelor, if there was one
17:14
Speaker 1: celebrity that I was just like wanting to drop if
17:16
Speaker 1: d ms were a thing back then, I think I said,
17:18
Speaker 1: Jennifer Anison or Courtney Cox. You know what I found
17:21
Speaker 1: out this week though Jessica looks just like Courtney. Oh
17:26
Speaker 1: my god, that's so funny. Yeah, so I had the
17:31
Speaker 1: pot just massive, massive home run for me. Uh. Next headline,
17:36
Speaker 1: why Tylor Cameron wouldn't go on Bachelor in Paradise is,
17:40
Speaker 1: according to e Online, Okay, Well, Tyler said that he's
17:44
Speaker 1: a one woman kind of guy, and um he said
17:49
Speaker 1: that he and then Dylan Dylan, who you know is
17:54
Speaker 1: his close friend from Hannah season, said that Tyler would
17:57
Speaker 1: absolutely be ruined by going to Bachelor in Paradise and
18:01
Speaker 1: he warned his friend h that they would make you
18:05
Speaker 1: look so bad. He also says, you had such a
18:09
Speaker 1: great rise that they'd be like, all right, it's time
18:12
Speaker 1: to have this guy fall. What else are we supposed
18:15
Speaker 1: to do? Just keep him rising. That's actually a really
18:18
Speaker 1: interesting that's a really interesting thought that he has. I
18:23
Speaker 1: think he's probably right. I think, especially with Tyler's dating
18:29
Speaker 1: in the dating celebrities and all of that, that they
18:33
Speaker 1: probably make him look like he was fame hungry, and
18:38
Speaker 1: I just don't think that there's a way that they
18:40
Speaker 1: would make Tyler look better than they did on hand
18:42
Speaker 1: A season, especially, you know, like some of his his TikTok's,
18:49
Speaker 1: they're like a little bit crude, you know, like you
18:51
Speaker 1: can tell that the guy has a wild side. Thank you.
18:58
Speaker 1: He's an it. He has a wild side. So here's
19:00
Speaker 1: my question, though, you know, when we can blame it
19:05
Speaker 1: on what they'd make him look like. But let's assume
19:08
Speaker 1: for a second it's completely up to the contestants to
19:11
Speaker 1: look like how they want to be looked. I mean, Blake,
19:14
Speaker 1: another friend of ours, would be the first to admit
19:17
Speaker 1: his decisions leading up until Paradise we're not good like
19:21
Speaker 1: he He he made some you know, he dated around
19:24
Speaker 1: Batch Nation pretty heavy. He set himself up for that
19:27
Speaker 1: storyline during Paradise. So does Tyler have that storyline that
19:32
Speaker 1: would that would crush him? Okay, I think so. I
19:36
Speaker 1: think he's just dated too much publicly for them not
19:40
Speaker 1: to be able to figure out a way to make
19:42
Speaker 1: his storyline not look player like. I also need to
19:48
Speaker 1: talk about the fact that it came out this week
19:50
Speaker 1: that g had deed as pregnant, and I think it's
19:52
Speaker 1: absolutely ridiculous with the what the headlines have said this
19:56
Speaker 1: week about Tyler being affected by it emotionally, like that
20:00
Speaker 1: that one night that he just had to play drinking
20:03
Speaker 1: games with his friends because he was so tarred up
20:05
Speaker 1: about it. Oh my God. Now, guys, so over it, Like,
20:09
Speaker 1: don't they're making something out of nothing? Yeah, it's it's nothing. Well,
20:15
Speaker 1: one of the people that Tyler Cameron has been spotted with,
20:19
Speaker 1: there has been rumors that maybe they are getting back together.
20:22
Speaker 1: That has been crushed by both them up to this point.
20:26
Speaker 1: But Hannah Brown is out here joking about her first
20:30
Speaker 1: performance in the Fantasy Suite with Peter Weber. This is
20:32
Speaker 1: according to Cosmopolitan. Al Right, before I explain this story,
20:38
Speaker 1: let's listen to the audio on Hannah Brown's TikTok, with
20:42
Speaker 1: the caption reading, when Chris Harrison asked you about Fantasy
20:46
Speaker 1: s Week week and were you nervous doing that? Do
20:49
Speaker 1: you know what I was nervous for my second performance?
20:52
Speaker 1: For my first performance, I was like, okay, wait a second.
20:57
Speaker 1: When I saw that on our TikTok, I didn't even
21:00
Speaker 1: think toolice about what she meant. Oh my god. Duh.
21:06
Speaker 1: So yeah, she's saying like for her Fantasy Suite with Peter,
21:10
Speaker 1: she's like a party. Let's like, you know, I'm not
21:13
Speaker 1: taking this one super seriously. We're just gonna have a
21:15
Speaker 1: ton of fun. And the second one, I was like, oh,
21:19
Speaker 1: pressure on. So Ashley just in case anybody else is
21:23
Speaker 1: out there going I have no clue what she was
21:24
Speaker 1: talking about. What is she referring to. She's referring to
21:29
Speaker 1: her overnight date with Peter and then her overnight date
21:32
Speaker 1: with Tyler. Now we know she didn't end up sleeping
21:35
Speaker 1: with Tyler. She decided that she wanted that their relationship
21:38
Speaker 1: was already physical enough that she didn't feel like she
21:40
Speaker 1: needed to test their physical chemistry. But you know, she's
21:44
Speaker 1: still saying that she was nervous walking in there. Maybe
21:46
Speaker 1: that was a decision she didn't make until later. Because
21:50
Speaker 1: we're all talk we're talking about performance here, you know,
21:52
Speaker 1: So that's so that's gotta be physical, right, I mean,
21:55
Speaker 1: I would assume, I think that's what everybody's pointing towards.
21:58
Speaker 1: If she meant something different, I would encourage Hannah Brown
22:02
Speaker 1: to maybe explain herself. But I think we're we have
22:05
Speaker 1: a pretty good idea what she was talking about. The
22:07
Speaker 1: headlines picked it up, Press was all over it again. Um,
22:11
Speaker 1: Hannah and Tyler have both stayed out there during this
22:14
Speaker 1: quarantine in amazing ways, uh consistently, um, coming up with
22:19
Speaker 1: just TikTok's and Instagram posts and also relationship rumors, but
22:23
Speaker 1: we have had. Our final update would be that Hannah
22:26
Speaker 1: Brown and Tyler have both said, hey, they aren't together.
22:29
Speaker 1: They're not dating um, but we may see them together
22:32
Speaker 1: again hanging out at some point. Uh. As Ashley and
22:36
Speaker 1: I said, Bachelation does not slow down during the shutdown.
22:39
Speaker 1: In fact, it feels like there's new headlines and more
22:41
Speaker 1: headlines and interesting headlines every single week. Ashley, let's take
22:49
Speaker 1: one more break when we come back. We have a
22:51
Speaker 1: really really special guest coming on the podcast and just
22:53
Speaker 1: a little bit. It's Bree from Listen to Your Heart.
22:56
Speaker 1: But let's break down this week's episode. Bring her on
23:00
Speaker 1: to clarify any questions that you and I may have.
23:05
Speaker 1: Sounds good coming into this week of Listen to Your Heart.
23:17
Speaker 1: The couples are shared and Julia, Matt and Rudy, Brie
23:21
Speaker 1: and Chris, Jamie and Trevor Brandon and Savannah and Ryan
23:24
Speaker 1: and Natasha again. This week, most of the drama was
23:29
Speaker 1: around Julia, So we started the episode with Julia and Sheridan.
23:34
Speaker 1: She's I think, hamming it up, making it seem like
23:37
Speaker 1: she likes it more than she really does. She's saying
23:40
Speaker 1: that there she's happy about their performance the other night,
23:42
Speaker 1: and Sheridan is feeling good about their relationship and he's
23:45
Speaker 1: saying that he feels like it's the best they've ever been.
23:48
Speaker 1: But then of course Chris Harrison has to come in
23:50
Speaker 1: and ruin every happy moment. Wait then pause here. I
23:54
Speaker 1: have to say, how cringe does Chris Harrison feel when
24:01
Speaker 1: he has to leave this conversation saying and don't forget
24:05
Speaker 1: to listen to your heart. Oh? I think he turns
24:09
Speaker 1: his back from the camera and just like shakes his head.
24:12
Speaker 1: I mean he has to, knowing Chris Harrison in real
24:14
Speaker 1: life guys like that's the last thing he would say, naturally,
24:19
Speaker 1: don't forget to listen to your heart. Now. I really
24:21
Speaker 1: think when it comes to The Bachelor and The Bachelor
24:24
Speaker 1: at his kind of taglines are one that he really enjoys,
24:28
Speaker 1: like they're good, solid taglines. He delivers them well. But
24:32
Speaker 1: listen to your heart, it just it feels it feels awkward,
24:37
Speaker 1: like it just doesn't work. Truly. I feel like he
24:41
Speaker 1: turns around after his little five second hit, he goes
24:45
Speaker 1: back to his house is just like I'm sure within
24:48
Speaker 1: five miles of this house, and he's like, I can't
24:52
Speaker 1: believe I'm doing this well, but Ashley, I really, I mean,
24:58
Speaker 1: I said to the podcast, I was saying it. Last
25:00
Speaker 1: week I watched this and I was like, hey, I
25:02
Speaker 1: don't know if this show has any legs, Like I
25:04
Speaker 1: really don't. Okay, I just want to say I'm still
25:07
Speaker 1: enjoying it. Yeah, I just think that Chris thinks it's silly.
25:10
Speaker 1: But this week I watched it and I was I felt,
25:14
Speaker 1: I felt more into it, and I'm gonna tell you why.
25:18
Speaker 1: But let's set up the story first. Chris Harrison comes
25:22
Speaker 1: in and makes announcement that the couples are going to
25:24
Speaker 1: go on dates with other contestants that are not in
25:27
Speaker 1: a relationship with These can be friendly dates, these can
25:30
Speaker 1: be romantic dates if you want them to be. I
25:34
Speaker 1: believe it was a way for the show to cultivate
25:36
Speaker 1: um not only a little bit of drama, but also
25:40
Speaker 1: forcing people out of their comfort zones because people kind
25:43
Speaker 1: of coupled up very quickly. Yeah. So we see that
25:46
Speaker 1: Jamie and Ryan are set up on a date, which
25:48
Speaker 1: I was excited about because they had an early connection.
25:51
Speaker 1: So I thought, you know, let's see if putting them
25:54
Speaker 1: in a more romantic atmosphere will uh fire that up again,
25:59
Speaker 1: and then Ris and Rudy go on a date because
26:01
Speaker 1: I think they wanted to see whether Rudy's man Matt
26:06
Speaker 1: at home would start farding flarding with anybody else. But
26:09
Speaker 1: I really think that the reason these dates were derived
26:14
Speaker 1: was because of Julia and Brandon and their love square
26:18
Speaker 1: sort of kind of with Sheridan and Savannah, and they
26:22
Speaker 1: really just wanted to put Julia and Brandon in a
26:24
Speaker 1: situation where they would feel that romantic spark again so
26:29
Speaker 1: that the drama would go down in the house here.
26:34
Speaker 1: So and I don't mind this idea. Actually think it
26:37
Speaker 1: was interesting television. I thought. I don't think it was
26:40
Speaker 1: insanely unhealthy, because as we saw, you know, Jamie and
26:43
Speaker 1: Ryan did just have a friendship, and it's actually really
26:46
Speaker 1: fun to see them just bond over their history and
26:49
Speaker 1: how much they appreciate each other. Also think that they
26:51
Speaker 1: wanted to test Natasha back at home because she never
26:55
Speaker 1: really explored any relationships with anybody else. And Chris and Rudy,
27:00
Speaker 1: you know, at this point, it just proved how much
27:02
Speaker 1: Chris is in debris and how you know, Rudy is
27:06
Speaker 1: in the Matt and that and that is going well
27:08
Speaker 1: so that was interesting. Now that Julian Brandon thing, I
27:13
Speaker 1: have an issue because Sheridan has been kind and considered
27:16
Speaker 1: this whole time, he obviously has put his focus on Julia.
27:21
Speaker 1: I feel like Julie up to this point has I mean,
27:25
Speaker 1: watching this, I'm still shocked at how quickly she all
27:28
Speaker 1: of a sudden became all about Sheridan, because I felt
27:31
Speaker 1: like the whole time she was always questioning her feelings
27:33
Speaker 1: towards him, and for the first time ever, it became
27:39
Speaker 1: very very present to me watching it, like Julie doesn't know,
27:43
Speaker 1: she knows what she wants, but it's definitely not shared
27:46
Speaker 1: in no no, I feel like I've known the entire
27:47
Speaker 1: time she was like sharedon is the the safe choice
27:50
Speaker 1: that God that's always gonna want me? And because he's
27:53
Speaker 1: so safe, I'm just gonna play around a little bit
27:56
Speaker 1: with Brandon now. I definitely think watching their date and
28:00
Speaker 1: their plan in the car sort of that the plan
28:04
Speaker 1: was to break up with Sheridan and with Savannah, and
28:09
Speaker 1: it seemed like he was breaking up with Savannah until
28:14
Speaker 1: he looked like he was a picking a fight with her,
28:16
Speaker 1: and then he said, uh, if you want what the
28:20
Speaker 1: heck was that situation Ben with with Brandon and actually
28:24
Speaker 1: this is uh so let's pause here, let's get our
28:27
Speaker 1: let's get our clarity back. I want to ask the listeners, Uh,
28:30
Speaker 1: what do you think about this whole situation? Are you
28:32
Speaker 1: enjoying this show? Uh? Comment? Uh? Email us at been
28:35
Speaker 1: an Ashley, iHeart media dot com or hashtag and the
28:37
Speaker 1: almost famous podcast on Twitter or read it. Okay, So,
28:40
Speaker 1: as we grouped together here, um, we're focusing on Julianne Brandon.
28:45
Speaker 1: They had a date that there obviously wasn't interest in
28:49
Speaker 1: each other. I don't think we've been proven. I don't
28:51
Speaker 1: think any of us assumed to this point that either
28:53
Speaker 1: of them were going to be focused on the person
28:56
Speaker 1: that they left back at the house. So we thought
28:58
Speaker 1: this could get dangerous. It definitely got dangerous. It very
29:01
Speaker 1: quickly became oh, no, Savannah and Shared are gonna think
29:04
Speaker 1: the brunt of this. And I personally was hurting for
29:09
Speaker 1: Sheridan and Savannah as they drove in the car back.
29:12
Speaker 1: I I felt like this, but the and and they
29:18
Speaker 1: breakups and feel and recognizing who you want to be
29:21
Speaker 1: with is not a bad thing. It happens all the
29:24
Speaker 1: time on the show, and even though it hurts, it's okay. However, Ashley,
29:31
Speaker 1: what got me is how they both handled these conversations
29:37
Speaker 1: once they got back to the house. So you have
29:40
Speaker 1: to tell me what the kids are calling it these days.
29:43
Speaker 1: But they both very quickly started to place blame on,
29:47
Speaker 1: for lack of a better word, the victim, the person
29:51
Speaker 1: getting broken up with. They they both made me cringe
29:55
Speaker 1: at how quickly they're like, why are you mad at me?
29:57
Speaker 1: Why are you acting like? Why are you walking away
29:59
Speaker 1: from this conversation? And why are you being so mean?
30:01
Speaker 1: Of course should be mean you're getting broken up with? Yeah,
30:05
Speaker 1: of course that was like very weird of her to
30:08
Speaker 1: respond to Sheridan with It's like, why am I giving attitude? Because, yeah,
30:14
Speaker 1: you're you don't like me as much, so I think
30:16
Speaker 1: that I don't have to be super nice to you
30:18
Speaker 1: right now. But and you promised me that you were
30:21
Speaker 1: going to do this. Yeah, that's that too. But then
30:27
Speaker 1: I guess at least Julia said I don't think I'm
30:30
Speaker 1: going to be able to get there with you that. Yeah,
30:35
Speaker 1: I'm okay, That's what I'm saying. Like that's good. But
30:39
Speaker 1: what Brandon did trying to like sort he didn't was
30:44
Speaker 1: he breaking up with Savannah or did he have a
30:46
Speaker 1: totally different mentality and then Julia did walking into that house.
30:51
Speaker 1: Was he actually not sure or did he want Savannah
30:55
Speaker 1: to just kind of like leave and he was going
30:58
Speaker 1: to make it as sloppy as possible so that he
31:01
Speaker 1: didn't have to formally dump her and she would just
31:04
Speaker 1: decide to leave on her own. He I think he
31:08
Speaker 1: wanted everything. I think he also couldn't take responsibility for
31:12
Speaker 1: the decisions he had already made. I think he didn't
31:14
Speaker 1: want to feel guilty for ending a relationship. I honestly
31:19
Speaker 1: think Brandon was running away from conflict. I really disliked
31:23
Speaker 1: this moment because, well, what sure, and I think a
31:29
Speaker 1: lot of people feel that way. I don't think Julian
31:31
Speaker 1: Brandon handled us it. Well what do you call it?
31:34
Speaker 1: When you is? Is that that's not gaslighting? Right? But
31:37
Speaker 1: like when you when you like flip the switch and all,
31:40
Speaker 1: you're the one delivering bad news, but you manipulate it
31:44
Speaker 1: to make the other person, yeah, to feel guilty about
31:47
Speaker 1: it like that? That was not okay and it really
31:50
Speaker 1: angered me because you know, I think Savannah was like, whatever,
31:54
Speaker 1: this is not right for me. I'm just gonna go
31:56
Speaker 1: home and like, I know, I'm gonna be fine. I'm
31:58
Speaker 1: super talented. I'm gonna pick my self back up. Um,
32:02
Speaker 1: she's hurting because of another field shared in though I
32:05
Speaker 1: think this hit him deep, Like this is a real emotion.
32:09
Speaker 1: Sharedan is the sweetest. You can feel his kind soul
32:14
Speaker 1: emit through the television. He's so nice, so rutable. You
32:19
Speaker 1: can tell the kind of relationship we had with everybody
32:22
Speaker 1: in the house. Um, you know, Savannah deserves better, and
32:25
Speaker 1: I truly think that Sharedon deserves better. And I know
32:29
Speaker 1: that everybody's always so sad when they're leaving the Bachelor
32:32
Speaker 1: mansion and it's like a self pity party. But but
32:37
Speaker 1: the experience that you get will ultimately help you find
32:41
Speaker 1: the person that you're meant to be with. And he's
32:43
Speaker 1: meant to be with somebody both of them that respect
32:48
Speaker 1: them far more than Julia and Brandon did, and our
32:53
Speaker 1: context cluses fans are this. Brandon Julie walked back into
32:56
Speaker 1: the mansion after their date. Brandon says, Hey, we're gonna
32:58
Speaker 1: go have really tough conversation, but we're gonna come back
33:00
Speaker 1: together and this will all be okay. So the assumption
33:03
Speaker 1: is they're both in the same page that they're gonna
33:06
Speaker 1: end there current relationships and get back together. Well, this
33:10
Speaker 1: takes us to a point where that happened, you know,
33:13
Speaker 1: even though we don't love how it happened, it happened.
33:16
Speaker 1: Relationships moved on. Julian Brandon come back together. They both
33:20
Speaker 1: are hurting a little bit from this. And this is
33:22
Speaker 1: where things get really weird now and and I think
33:25
Speaker 1: it's a good question for audience, whose side are you on?
33:28
Speaker 1: But there's a question asked to Brandon that's that says, Hey,
33:33
Speaker 1: if Savannah would have said I want to fight for this,
33:35
Speaker 1: would you have said yes? And he mouse right in
33:37
Speaker 1: front of Julie even though she can't hear it. Yes,
33:39
Speaker 1: I would have said yes to Savannah. That's where things
33:42
Speaker 1: get weird. Actually, what happens from there so so weird.
33:47
Speaker 1: I'm so confused by him. I don't think that he
33:49
Speaker 1: really has strong feelings for either woman, so he's just
33:52
Speaker 1: gonna flip flop back and forth. He's a total player.
33:57
Speaker 1: And um, so what happens from there is that Natasha,
34:01
Speaker 1: backstage before they're about to perform at the Novo in
34:05
Speaker 1: l A, tells Julia that Brandon said that he would
34:11
Speaker 1: have kept Savannah if she really wanted to fight for it,
34:15
Speaker 1: and then Julia gets very piste off that she would
34:21
Speaker 1: offer up this information so close to their performance time
34:25
Speaker 1: because it's obviously going to throw off their chemistry. Then
34:29
Speaker 1: Julia goes to Brandon's room and he says, I didn't
34:32
Speaker 1: definitively say that I was gonna choose Savannah if she
34:36
Speaker 1: was going to fight for it, And you can just
34:39
Speaker 1: tell in that moment that Julia was like, oh, not definitive,
34:43
Speaker 1: but it was something on your mind. So you definitely
34:46
Speaker 1: didn't stick to the plan that we had coming home
34:48
Speaker 1: from our date. You still had feelings for maybe both
34:51
Speaker 1: of us. Nothing frustrated me more, Ashley. And maybe it's
34:56
Speaker 1: because I liked wh like this episode. I was so
34:59
Speaker 1: into these moments. I was like, you, guys, this is
35:01
Speaker 1: causing so much damage and so much pain to the
35:04
Speaker 1: people around you. Brandon, the way that you're like looking
35:07
Speaker 1: at Savannah during this breakup and the way that you're
35:10
Speaker 1: uh like kind of lying still to Julia and you
35:12
Speaker 1: can't decide what you want makes me, makes me angry,
35:18
Speaker 1: makes me mad, And hey, I haven't honestly invested any
35:21
Speaker 1: emotion into the show until this point. So I don't
35:23
Speaker 1: know what that says about me, but do you know, Okay,
35:27
Speaker 1: so obviously I feel like Natasha had poor timing there.
35:30
Speaker 1: She had very um she had timing that was going
35:34
Speaker 1: to strike up a lot of drama. I'm assuming that
35:37
Speaker 1: the timing wasn't necessarily uh something that she came up
35:42
Speaker 1: with the I think that she was probably you know,
35:45
Speaker 1: said you know, I think there was like a little
35:49
Speaker 1: manipulation into that topic being brought up backstage at the performances.
35:55
Speaker 1: But I also don't think that like Julia should have
35:59
Speaker 1: hid that information. I just think that she said it
36:02
Speaker 1: at a bad time for Julia. What do you think? Yeah,
36:06
Speaker 1: I mean Natasha said it, and if she was trying
36:09
Speaker 1: to sabotage a performance, well she did it. She did it,
36:15
Speaker 1: and it worked. And I guess at the end of this,
36:18
Speaker 1: you know, people call it a game, people call called
36:21
Speaker 1: a contest, and this, more than The Bachelor, definitely feels
36:24
Speaker 1: like a contest in Natasha, Well she won the battle. Now,
36:28
Speaker 1: before we get into the performances at the Novo um,
36:32
Speaker 1: let's take one more break. Actually, when we come back,
36:34
Speaker 1: we're gonna break down the performances at the Novo. So cool.
36:48
Speaker 1: So then it's time for showtime. Chris Harrison announces that
36:52
Speaker 1: the performers are going to be performing at the Novo
36:55
Speaker 1: in front of celebrities, people from Bachelor Nation and singers.
37:02
Speaker 1: So we got Rachel, Lindsay and Brian. We got Andy
37:05
Speaker 1: Grammar and Tony Braxon huge names, but yeah, yeah, totally.
37:12
Speaker 1: So how did you feel about the fact that Brian
37:15
Speaker 1: didn't didn't show Brian speaking at all? Every time Chris
37:20
Speaker 1: Harrison went to Rachel and Brian, she spoke on behalf
37:24
Speaker 1: of them on air. From what even notice that I'd
37:27
Speaker 1: even notice that, No, but now I do. I remember.
37:30
Speaker 1: I think I think the only time we saw Brian
37:32
Speaker 1: was when he walked down, and I think he whispered
37:34
Speaker 1: in somebody's ear, like maybe Tony Braxon's like, yeah, she's
37:37
Speaker 1: nervous something. The only thing I think we heard from him,
37:40
Speaker 1: which is kind of sad. I felt bad. Brian just
37:43
Speaker 1: doesn't like the guy, has never like he had He
37:46
Speaker 1: was overshattered by Peter obviously during that season, and then
37:50
Speaker 1: you know they get married and like people want to
37:53
Speaker 1: celebrate them, but we just don't. Like Brian just is
37:55
Speaker 1: never like it's not like if anybody knows him yet,
37:58
Speaker 1: nobody knows Brian. He's like the only final one that
38:01
Speaker 1: people can't say that they know. So first up in
38:06
Speaker 1: the performances is Rudy and Matt and they sing Tennessee Whiskey.
38:11
Speaker 1: They do a great job. They sounded so good together.
38:14
Speaker 1: I felt the chemistry. Rachel and Brian loved their performance,
38:17
Speaker 1: and they loved the way that they embraced and kissed afterward. Um,
38:22
Speaker 1: I feel like it just was overall good. I mean,
38:24
Speaker 1: I guess I wasn't blown I was. I was like, yeah,
38:27
Speaker 1: like I would have been so into that in real life, right,
38:29
Speaker 1: But like, I guess I wasn't blown away the way
38:32
Speaker 1: I am later in the episode what About You Now,
38:34
Speaker 1: I was more blown away with Tony Brackson's uh common
38:37
Speaker 1: of play that guitar like you're playing her And I'm
38:41
Speaker 1: kinda with her when she said like I want to
38:43
Speaker 1: watch a performance a duet and be uncomfortable, like I
38:47
Speaker 1: want to be in my chair being like I shouldn't
38:48
Speaker 1: be watching this because it's so romantic, and and they
38:52
Speaker 1: kind of had that Like I think as much as
38:54
Speaker 1: I mean, Nan, Tasha and Ryan kind of had that too,
38:57
Speaker 1: but like they definitely you could sense that they really
39:00
Speaker 1: are into each other. Um, which is cool to see. Yeah,
39:04
Speaker 1: I love that. I love their performance. So then Jamie
39:06
Speaker 1: and Trevor went and they sang like I'm Gonna Lose You,
39:10
Speaker 1: and the judges thought that they were a little off.
39:12
Speaker 1: It seemed like Jamie was really nervous, especially the first half,
39:16
Speaker 1: as um as um Andy Grammar pointed out, and yeah,
39:22
Speaker 1: it seemed like she was nervous. Um. I think that
39:26
Speaker 1: kind of nerves is probably going to be more evident
39:30
Speaker 1: to the people who are watching in person than us
39:33
Speaker 1: watching on TV. Does that make sense? Do you think that? Yeah?
39:38
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I mean again, I watched it,
39:40
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I don't know what musical talent is, Like,
39:43
Speaker 1: they all sound good to me. I don't know if
39:45
Speaker 1: she like, she sounded great so much better than I would.
39:48
Speaker 1: So I was only picking up on that because I
39:52
Speaker 1: think there was this you know, unlike um, Rudy and Matt,
39:58
Speaker 1: she had her hand on the whole time, and it
40:00
Speaker 1: looked comfortable to have it, like I want to touch
40:02
Speaker 1: you and sing with you and know you're there. When uh,
40:06
Speaker 1: when Jamie would do that it would almost just feel
40:09
Speaker 1: like a little uncomfortable, like neither one. She wants it,
40:12
Speaker 1: but he kept backing away. So that was my only
40:15
Speaker 1: sign up. I feel like Jamie's still twenty one. I
40:17
Speaker 1: still feel like she's getting to know herself and getting
40:20
Speaker 1: comfortable in her own skin. I don't know if it's
40:22
Speaker 1: just a performance thing. I think it's just an overall
40:24
Speaker 1: human thing. It could be, but she wants it. She
40:29
Speaker 1: wants it so bad. Next up was Chris and Brie
40:32
Speaker 1: and they sang Taylor Swift's lover. Tony Braxon loved the performance.
40:37
Speaker 1: She says she really saw a connection. You know, there
40:41
Speaker 1: was definitely chemistry between them. They sound great together. That's
40:45
Speaker 1: all I want to say. Yeah, I would agree. Um,
40:49
Speaker 1: they they're just two people. They're consistent. But there are
40:54
Speaker 1: two people that I'm watched in the show that I say,
40:57
Speaker 1: this is beautiful, Like I think this could work out
41:00
Speaker 1: long term. And this is what keeps me coming back
41:02
Speaker 1: to being a fan of the show is watching these
41:04
Speaker 1: two just sing together and relate with each other is
41:07
Speaker 1: really a beautiful thing to be on TV. They teased
41:10
Speaker 1: them getting married in Vegas next week, and you know what,
41:14
Speaker 1: why not? I think they might m why not. The
41:18
Speaker 1: biggest part of their performance was, of course her admitting
41:21
Speaker 1: that after it she whispered I love you, and then
41:25
Speaker 1: she told the whole audience what she said and that
41:27
Speaker 1: he didn't hear it, and then of course he said,
41:29
Speaker 1: if I had heard that, I would have said the
41:31
Speaker 1: same thing back to you, and they kind of exchange
41:32
Speaker 1: I love to use backstage afterwards. Very very sweet. Um.
41:36
Speaker 1: Julian Brandon are up next and they sang Pat Benatar's
41:40
Speaker 1: Amazing ballot We Belong Together. Rachel felt that they were
41:44
Speaker 1: a newer couple and she was glad that they admitted
41:47
Speaker 1: that because she felt like it was kind of like
41:48
Speaker 1: a karaoke performance. And Tony said that she felt tension.
41:54
Speaker 1: I felt tension. I felt like his body language was
41:57
Speaker 1: so off from her and she was completely turned in
42:00
Speaker 1: to him and she was trying to connect with him,
42:03
Speaker 1: but he is just like I'm performing for the audience.
42:05
Speaker 1: Now you. I watched this and I missed Brandon and
42:11
Speaker 1: Savannah because I felt like they did have a connection.
42:15
Speaker 1: Now was it a healthy one? I can't say, but
42:18
Speaker 1: I don't like Julian Brandon just didn't like it was
42:21
Speaker 1: so it was like hard Jamie. It was not hard
42:25
Speaker 1: for me to watch Julia and Brandon hard for me
42:29
Speaker 1: to get through because it just it felt so weird.
42:32
Speaker 1: He just didn't seem into her. H is rough. And
42:36
Speaker 1: then there was the performance of the night you love
42:41
Speaker 1: that you love this guy? Oh my god, it's amazing.
42:44
Speaker 1: Ryan and Natasha saying the best thing that ever had.
42:49
Speaker 1: You are the best thing that ever happened, And it
42:53
Speaker 1: was hot. They are so equally talented, like he has
42:57
Speaker 1: this amazing, amazing tone to his voice and she has
43:02
Speaker 1: pipes and strength and they they don't I don't think
43:07
Speaker 1: have chemistry off the stage, but damn is an electric
43:11
Speaker 1: on the stage. I could watch them before all day long,
43:15
Speaker 1: and I'm good with that. Like I think watching the show,
43:18
Speaker 1: I watch it because I want to see connection on stage.
43:21
Speaker 1: Just listen to your heart, right, if love happens with
43:23
Speaker 1: Chris and Bree amazing, how beautiful. But if you can
43:27
Speaker 1: and this is the wrong term, but like if you
43:29
Speaker 1: could fake it on stage similar to Bradley Cooper, uh
43:33
Speaker 1: and uh you know they like that's beautiful and it
43:38
Speaker 1: makes us intrigued and it's fun to see and and
43:41
Speaker 1: so Ryan Natasha definitely have that um here's a cool part.
43:45
Speaker 1: Last week, and I thought it was true. The judges
43:47
Speaker 1: said Ryan, Natasha could overpower you, like she could run
43:50
Speaker 1: you out of this room. Ryan stood up to it.
43:52
Speaker 1: This week they were equally as great. I completely completely agree.
43:55
Speaker 1: They have different voices, but the way that they work
43:58
Speaker 1: together is so amazing, and I think you're right for them.
44:03
Speaker 1: It's about performance. They're kind of singing and acting at
44:07
Speaker 1: the same time. They know that give a friendship and
44:10
Speaker 1: like they're probably attracted to each other, but there's not
44:13
Speaker 1: some great romance there. But for us as viewers, it
44:16
Speaker 1: doesn't matter when they're on stage, not at all, not
44:19
Speaker 1: at all. Well, that leads us all up. There's a
44:21
Speaker 1: performances that leads up to the road ceremony where the
44:23
Speaker 1: judges have the power. Brie and Chris stay not a surprise,
44:28
Speaker 1: Matt and Rudy stay, not a surprise. Natasha and Ryan stay.
44:32
Speaker 1: Their performance was incredible, but it was down to Trevor, Jamie,
44:35
Speaker 1: Julia and Brandon and the judges I think made the
44:39
Speaker 1: right decision. Actually do you. I was actually surprised that
44:43
Speaker 1: the drama was sent home. So next week, I think
44:46
Speaker 1: we're gonna be concentrating more on actual connection and performance chemistry. Julia,
44:53
Speaker 1: I mean Brandon. Brandon doesn't care about any of this.
44:57
Speaker 1: He's so nonchalant. And Julia, she was the drama queen
45:03
Speaker 1: of the house, so it was kind of like, all right,
45:05
Speaker 1: let's let's get rid of this and concentrate on the
45:09
Speaker 1: important stuff. Next week, Julian Brandon are sent home, and
45:15
Speaker 1: the drama doesn't stop there. Julia's exit starts to bring
45:18
Speaker 1: up how mad she was at Brandon, how disconnected he was,
45:23
Speaker 1: and how she wishes she would have chose Shardan. Now
45:27
Speaker 1: I'm all confused, and in fact, I'm so confused, I'm
45:29
Speaker 1: just saying I'm I'm happy to go on to next
45:31
Speaker 1: week because I don't think I can take another week
45:35
Speaker 1: of the going as back and forth as much as
45:39
Speaker 1: we had. It always takes being screwed over from by
45:42
Speaker 1: a bad guy to appreciate the good guy that you had.
45:47
Speaker 1: You never know what it's what you had until it's gone.
45:50
Speaker 1: I think that's a song at some point. It's a
45:53
Speaker 1: Nick Jonas sung song, Do Know what You Got? Deal?
45:57
Speaker 1: It's good? I don't I think there was like I
46:01
Speaker 1: think I'm thinking like an oldies song too. I think
46:04
Speaker 1: I don't know, ash Um, Well, that was this week's
46:07
Speaker 1: Listen to Your Heart. Uh, it was a a better
46:10
Speaker 1: performance for me. I'm going to grade it this week
46:12
Speaker 1: on a scale of what we expect, a B plus good.
46:17
Speaker 1: I write it a B plus as well, and I'm intrigued.
46:22
Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch next week, excited to watch. I'm not
46:26
Speaker 1: gonna be dreading it. Um, it's actually it's it feels
46:29
Speaker 1: like these couples have some potential, Ashley. Uh, let's bring
46:33
Speaker 1: on Bree to break down this week's episode a little
46:36
Speaker 1: bit further. But also, I mean, what do you think, like,
46:38
Speaker 1: just really focus on Brie and Chris because their relationship
46:43
Speaker 1: is beautiful. I agree, and like I like I said
46:46
Speaker 1: to Brie, I think it's going to come down to
46:49
Speaker 1: their real life love versus the passion that we feel
46:53
Speaker 1: between Ryan and Natasha on stage. Let's bring in brief Ye,
47:07
Speaker 1: so I's promised we have one of Bachelor nations favorite
47:11
Speaker 1: Listen to Your Heart contestants, Brie is here with us
47:15
Speaker 1: on the Almost Famous podcast. Hey Bree, Hey, how's it going?
47:21
Speaker 1: Really good? Brie? I got a burning question for you.
47:25
Speaker 1: It seems in this episode that we're going to narrow
47:29
Speaker 1: this season down till there is one couple standing. Is
47:34
Speaker 1: this couple going to be there standing at as the
47:37
Speaker 1: last couple in the end because of love or because
47:40
Speaker 1: of their performance passion together? Mm hmm. So it's definitely
47:48
Speaker 1: going to be a little bit of both their chemistry
47:50
Speaker 1: on stage as well as their chemistry UM in their relationship,
47:56
Speaker 1: So it's equally judged on both. I'd say, can I
47:59
Speaker 1: make a prediction as to who's standing in the end? Yes? Man,
48:04
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna come down to you and Chris
48:07
Speaker 1: and Natasha and Ryan. I feel I like that prediction.
48:13
Speaker 1: I feel like you and Chris definitely have the genuine love,
48:17
Speaker 1: and I feel like Natasha and Ryan have a talent
48:22
Speaker 1: and performance that they really mend melt together. Natasha and
48:29
Speaker 1: Ryan are very very hot on stage. There's no denying
48:34
Speaker 1: that they're quite a duo. Bree. Let's start at the
48:38
Speaker 1: beginning here. What was this a whole experience like for you?
48:44
Speaker 1: Listen to your heart. The experience for me was everything. Um.
48:51
Speaker 1: You know, I have performed a lot in the past,
48:56
Speaker 1: but never with someone that I genuinely love. Um. I've
49:02
Speaker 1: performed with other musicians and stuff, but for the most part,
49:05
Speaker 1: it's just been me. So it's a really interesting experience
49:08
Speaker 1: to you know, not be given a lot of time
49:11
Speaker 1: to be super prepared and then just to be on
49:13
Speaker 1: stage with a partner and um having to you know,
49:18
Speaker 1: impress the judges while also communicating chemistry that you know
49:22
Speaker 1: is there but hoping they receive it. Well. So there
49:25
Speaker 1: were just a million things going on in my head
49:27
Speaker 1: the entire time. Um, so it's really fun to look
49:31
Speaker 1: back and see how it was communicated now that I'm
49:33
Speaker 1: watching it. We saw you guys totally. If all I'm
49:38
Speaker 1: going to say you kind of like fell in love
49:40
Speaker 1: during that scene at the Guitar Center on Sunset, is
49:45
Speaker 1: that you feel like that was the moment you started
49:47
Speaker 1: to fall Yes, definitely. Guitar Center will always have the
49:54
Speaker 1: most special place in my heart because, um, you know,
49:58
Speaker 1: it's just one of those things where the I can't
50:00
Speaker 1: we forgot the cameras and everything. It was just us,
50:04
Speaker 1: um and when we were playing Calpfall and and Love
50:07
Speaker 1: by Elvis on the piano, it it was just such
50:10
Speaker 1: a moving moment, as stupid as that sounds, but the
50:13
Speaker 1: feeling was just incredible and something I've never experienced before.
50:16
Speaker 1: And there's just no denying that. That's the moment when
50:19
Speaker 1: I started to fall in love with him and um
50:22
Speaker 1: and him as well with me. What was it initially
50:27
Speaker 1: about Chris that stood out to you? Chris has the
50:32
Speaker 1: most genuine, open energy that I've ever seen in anyone.
50:37
Speaker 1: Like when we first met, you know, he he just
50:41
Speaker 1: came right up to me, UM in a very non
50:43
Speaker 1: aggressive way, UM, and introduced himself and then kind of
50:46
Speaker 1: like backed off because there were other guys talking to me, UM.
50:50
Speaker 1: And then as like the night progressed. Um. He I
50:54
Speaker 1: just noticed that when he would walk in the room
50:55
Speaker 1: and things would get brighter and people would kind of
50:58
Speaker 1: flocked toward him, and he could just bring up best
51:00
Speaker 1: in people and would start to see music that really
51:03
Speaker 1: united all of us. So it's just his open energy
51:05
Speaker 1: that he gives off. It's very genuine. In this episode,
51:08
Speaker 1: we see that you say I love you to him
51:10
Speaker 1: for the first time in front of a live audience
51:12
Speaker 1: on stage, and it just slipped out. How did you
51:16
Speaker 1: feel what that just popped out of your mouth? Honestly,
51:22
Speaker 1: I feel like a stupid school girl that's like so giddy.
51:26
Speaker 1: I it was just ridiculous, But again, Um, it was
51:31
Speaker 1: natural everything's just been so natural with him. So usually
51:35
Speaker 1: when I perform, you know, I have family come that
51:37
Speaker 1: supports me, and so I have that like that comfort,
51:40
Speaker 1: but being on stage with him, um, he's the only
51:43
Speaker 1: comfort that I had because we didn't you know, know anyone,
51:46
Speaker 1: and it was just really it was a lot. And
51:48
Speaker 1: so for me to naturally hug him after and say
51:51
Speaker 1: I love you, there's no forcing that. And it just
51:53
Speaker 1: showed me how, um how William I am to give
51:58
Speaker 1: him my heart and to feel like I can trust him.
52:00
Speaker 1: And this is a big moment for you because as
52:02
Speaker 1: we learned early on this season, it's been a storyline throughout. Uh.
52:07
Speaker 1: One of the moments that I think most affected everybody
52:10
Speaker 1: that's watching the show is you admitted and kind of
52:13
Speaker 1: opened up about being previously engaged and during what I remember,
52:16
Speaker 1: right when you picked out your wedding dress, your fiance
52:19
Speaker 1: at the time had called you and said, hey, this
52:23
Speaker 1: is over. I know when Jess and I were watching this,
52:26
Speaker 1: we both know we just recently got engaged and we
52:28
Speaker 1: were watching this and just like her mouth was like
52:30
Speaker 1: on the floor, like just hurting for you. Yeah, that
52:38
Speaker 1: experience was really difficult, just because, um, you know, it
52:44
Speaker 1: was very traumatic for me, just because I had physically
52:48
Speaker 1: picked out the dress. It wasn't it was making it real,
52:50
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And so when you're wearing it,
52:53
Speaker 1: you envisioned your dad there and your mom, and um,
52:57
Speaker 1: it just kind of becomes it's very it just it's
52:59
Speaker 1: brought to lie and so um to have that kind
53:03
Speaker 1: of just taken from you, it caused a lot of, um,
53:08
Speaker 1: you know, deep pain and so it's been hard to
53:11
Speaker 1: to trust again because I never expected him to do that.
53:14
Speaker 1: So you know, when you get in the next relationship,
53:17
Speaker 1: you're like, well, I hope you don't do this, but
53:19
Speaker 1: I never expected this guy to do it. Um. So
53:21
Speaker 1: with with Chris, you know, it's just been very natural
53:25
Speaker 1: and I haven't had the same kinds of fears that
53:27
Speaker 1: I've always had. And yeah, I know that he wouldn't
53:31
Speaker 1: ever do anything like that to me. So Ben has
53:34
Speaker 1: been talking throughout the season about how he can't relate
53:36
Speaker 1: to the impasity the intimacy of writing songs and performing
53:40
Speaker 1: songs together. Can you enlighten us no musicians how that feels. Yes, So,
53:48
Speaker 1: first of all, with our guitar sturd day and our
53:51
Speaker 1: freestyle and It was definitely rough because we hardly knew
53:56
Speaker 1: each other, Like, let's just bury that, Okay, let's just
54:01
Speaker 1: forget about it. Um. It really was so fun. But
54:05
Speaker 1: you know, we didn't we just we just met and
54:08
Speaker 1: so we were like trying to figure out our musical
54:10
Speaker 1: chemistry because we haven't really like sung together. But honestly,
54:14
Speaker 1: it comes very quickly and easy when you just both
54:19
Speaker 1: put yourself out there, your vulnerable. Um. It's a really
54:22
Speaker 1: amazing process when you both do that, because you get
54:26
Speaker 1: to places that you never would have gone through words,
54:29
Speaker 1: because music just brings this other element that you know,
54:33
Speaker 1: no one can deny, like it's music is very truthful, um,
54:38
Speaker 1: and so it really brought us together way. I feel
54:42
Speaker 1: like we've like skipped ahead of year in our relationship,
54:45
Speaker 1: you know what I mean at this point, because um,
54:48
Speaker 1: because music just does that. I Astley's right, And a
54:52
Speaker 1: lot of this show I am watching now from a
54:55
Speaker 1: perspective of, Hey, I can't relate at all except for
54:58
Speaker 1: the pursuit of love piece. You know you singing in
55:00
Speaker 1: front of people would make me have hives, or me
55:04
Speaker 1: singing in people make me have hives? Literally breathe, What
55:09
Speaker 1: was it about going on listen to your heart that
55:11
Speaker 1: you were interested in. Was it love or was it
55:14
Speaker 1: to increase your musical kind of exposure, which would be
55:17
Speaker 1: fair too. Um, you know it was definitely both. Because
55:23
Speaker 1: I'm a musician, I think naturally we're always trying to
55:26
Speaker 1: be like, you know what's next, looking further our careers.
55:29
Speaker 1: Oh cool, this is a great opportunity. Why wouldn't I
55:31
Speaker 1: do it? But I wasn't going to go into it
55:34
Speaker 1: if I wasn't truly open to finding love. Um, I
55:38
Speaker 1: can't say I totally believed in it, and I didn't
55:40
Speaker 1: think that it would happen to someone like me. Um.
55:45
Speaker 1: But you know when I was deciding, and I was
55:47
Speaker 1: just like, you literally nothing to lose, um, love and
55:50
Speaker 1: music or everything you've ever wanted, So you'd be an
55:53
Speaker 1: idiot not to So obviously I'm very thankful that I
55:55
Speaker 1: just went with my gut and and went with it.
55:59
Speaker 1: Next week, we see that you guys bring the show
56:03
Speaker 1: on the road and you'll be you'll be sharing a
56:05
Speaker 1: tour bus with Chris. Does that change? How does that
56:09
Speaker 1: change the couples? Because I feel like given that more
56:12
Speaker 1: private time, that quality time, you guys are gonna learn
56:16
Speaker 1: more about each other and you're the dynamic of living together. Yeah,
56:22
Speaker 1: I'm really excited for that because, um, you know, they
56:27
Speaker 1: always say, like, go on a road trip with whoever
56:29
Speaker 1: you're interested in, do this, do that, So it's it's
56:32
Speaker 1: definitely a next big step. UM. And then just getting
56:35
Speaker 1: that one on one time is something that we haven't
56:37
Speaker 1: had a lot of because we're in a house with
56:39
Speaker 1: a lot of people. So I'm just really excited for
56:43
Speaker 1: that time to just be able to focus on us
56:47
Speaker 1: the breed. This all kind of summarizes here at the
56:50
Speaker 1: end with um hopefully a great love story and also
56:55
Speaker 1: a great opportunity to further your music career. Looking back
57:00
Speaker 1: at it all, was it worth it? You don't have
57:03
Speaker 1: to give us any hints any ideas of what this meant,
57:05
Speaker 1: but just for you, sitting where you're at now, was
57:07
Speaker 1: this worth it? Definitely worth it. I I would never
57:13
Speaker 1: want to go back to the life that I had before. UM.
57:17
Speaker 1: I wanted all to be what it is right now,
57:21
Speaker 1: and yes, it was a thousand times worth it. You
57:24
Speaker 1: and Chris seemed to be unbreakable at this point in
57:27
Speaker 1: the competition, and I'm going to assume right now that
57:32
Speaker 1: if you don't win the show. You're still together? Am
57:36
Speaker 1: I right? I guess we'll have to see. Okay, okay,
57:44
Speaker 1: So we've talked a lot about your love story. It's great,
57:47
Speaker 1: we're huge fans of it. Um, it's keeping me going
57:50
Speaker 1: during this show. But can we just take a second
57:54
Speaker 1: and what was it like being in the house with
57:56
Speaker 1: the drama that ensued this week between Brandon and Savannah
58:00
Speaker 1: and Sheridan and Julia. Was it Was it as wild
58:03
Speaker 1: as it seems? Yes, the drama is definitely as wild
58:09
Speaker 1: as it seems. Um, as much as Chris and I,
58:13
Speaker 1: you know, have tried to stay out of it, Um,
58:17
Speaker 1: there's an energy there and me and him are both
58:20
Speaker 1: big feelers. We feel for people, and so it's been
58:23
Speaker 1: really heavy and definitely, you know, you take stress into
58:29
Speaker 1: um relationships and performances and you hope that you can
58:31
Speaker 1: just do your best because we all kind of are
58:33
Speaker 1: a family living together. So yeah, it's been challenging, but
58:36
Speaker 1: it's definitely there. I felt like it. Mm hmm, alright,
58:42
Speaker 1: well I can't take it. Thank you Bree so much
58:45
Speaker 1: for joining us today. We're rooting for you and Chris
58:49
Speaker 1: in real life and on all the show. That's right,
58:52
Speaker 1: Thank you answering. Thank you. You guys are great. Have
58:56
Speaker 1: a great day. Al right, guys. So we got one
59:01
Speaker 1: email about the Matt James versus Claire drama that we
59:05
Speaker 1: addressed during last week's Hot Topics. This is from Amy.
59:09
Speaker 1: She says, I had a thought on the drama of
59:12
Speaker 1: Matt James. My feelings about it are that it came
59:15
Speaker 1: across like Claire is assuming that Matt James is going
59:19
Speaker 1: on her show to get famous as a result of
59:22
Speaker 1: being a contestant on the Bachelorette, when in reality, he's
59:25
Speaker 1: famous already because he is friends with Tyler and everyone
59:28
Speaker 1: who is following the Quarantine crew. I feel like more
59:32
Speaker 1: people know more about Matt than I know about Claire.
59:37
Speaker 1: What do you think? I certainly don't agree, Amy, um My.
59:43
Speaker 1: My thoughts are that Matt maybe famous amongst uh gen
59:49
Speaker 1: z gen z right. Matt maybe famous to TikTok watchers
59:54
Speaker 1: and people who follow Tyler and his group of friends
59:59
Speaker 1: very closely on social media. I feel like Claire is
1:00:02
Speaker 1: far more famous amongst the nation Bachelor nation. I feel
1:00:09
Speaker 1: like what we've gotten to know about Claire over four
1:00:12
Speaker 1: seasons of televised programming is more than you guys are
1:00:16
Speaker 1: seeing from the quarantine crew house about Matt. You are
1:00:20
Speaker 1: getting to see from Matt what he wants to put
1:00:22
Speaker 1: out there for you guys. And Claire has had a
1:00:26
Speaker 1: whole bunch of things that she probably wishes she could
1:00:28
Speaker 1: edit it out be broadcast on national TV. I also
1:00:32
Speaker 1: wouldn't call him famous. I'd call him um a social
1:00:38
Speaker 1: media personality right now. I I think it's weird to
1:00:41
Speaker 1: call anybody from pass Nation famous. And I think that
1:00:45
Speaker 1: I would repeat with what you're staying here by saying
1:00:50
Speaker 1: Matt going on an ABC prime time show is just
1:00:54
Speaker 1: gonna make him more famous than he is going to
1:00:58
Speaker 1: be from social media. Yeah. So even if you think
1:01:01
Speaker 1: he already is famous, I don't think that he is.
1:01:05
Speaker 1: I think that there's always ways for him to be
1:01:08
Speaker 1: more famous. Yeah, I mean I think now, maybe as
1:01:12
Speaker 1: we sit you could have the argument who's better known
1:01:14
Speaker 1: if that's how we're gonna do it, And maybe Matt
1:01:16
Speaker 1: James right now is better known, but let's not forget
1:01:18
Speaker 1: I don't think he's better known. I feel like Claire
1:01:21
Speaker 1: Crawley is going to explode here when she becomes a
1:01:24
Speaker 1: Bachelorrette like she'll go from zero to a hundred in
1:01:28
Speaker 1: terms of a recognized person personality very soon. So yeah,
1:01:34
Speaker 1: being on an ABC show always helps your relevancy. Being
1:01:37
Speaker 1: on AB show definitely helps the attention come to you more.
1:01:41
Speaker 1: So if we're defining who's more known, I really think
1:01:44
Speaker 1: that it Claire very soon will be one of the
1:01:47
Speaker 1: most recognized people in the use. Don't you think it's
1:01:50
Speaker 1: a generational thing because like, yeah, like millennials, probably no
1:01:55
Speaker 1: Claire More and then gen Z who was like the
1:01:58
Speaker 1: newcomers on TikTok People below the age of two, they
1:02:02
Speaker 1: probably know Matt More. Hey, I'm on TikTok to and
1:02:05
Speaker 1: I'm trying hard actually and I'm thirty one. Hey, uh,
