• 0:40
  Speaker 2: they were expecting. I think they were expecting, like the
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Bachelor to be announced. So I think a cruise ship
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: is gonna be like whoa kind of a switch to
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: ahead and you know, like a yeah, a quick turn
• 0:50

  Speaker 3: is it gonna just be a first come serve for
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: serve once you sign up on the ship.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, great question.
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: We think a lot about this at our six man
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: We want to create an event that we don't want
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: people waiting in line on their vacations.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: So for everyone that books will end up doing.

  Speaker 5: screenings are and things like that down the line, everyone
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: is going to be able to have a priority list
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: of which ones they would like to get to, and
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: then we'll ticket everyone, so everyone will have access to
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: one Love Story rewatch and one tel All panel. Everything
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: else is going to be happening at the same time,
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: so you'll be able to go to a trivia, but
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: there won't just be one trivia, There'll be a couple
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: of them, and there are also three other things happening
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: at the same time, so those will be first come,
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: first serve. We'll have some pool parties, silent disco things
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: like that, so you'll have a lot to choose from
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: and you won't all just be shuttled into one place
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: at a time.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: And how much access will guests have to Bachelor alum
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: like will there be designated meet and greets or are
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: the cast going to be out and about all the time?
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: Be a mix. Definitely going to have cast members leading activities.
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: As we said, throughout the ship, if it's a pool
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: party or we're still coming up with a lot of
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: the little details that we want to create. The cocktail
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: parties are going to be where you're going to see
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: the most alums throughout the ship. At each of the bars,
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: there will be some designated meet and greets that will
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: announce kind of the structure of those and how many
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: people can have access to that. If you look at
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: the presale incentives, it's one of the reasons why people
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: should get an early book at the very beginning in
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: During the presale, you get the choice of a pre
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: sale incentive, so Hannah Brown is going to do a
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: tell all on an episode. You can choose to have
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: your photo taken with Jesse Palmer. These are unlimited quantities,
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: so if you book early, you get to select which
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: one you want first. So those are going to be
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: more designated specifically. The other ones are going to be
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: more first converserve.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Now we do have you've mentioned a few of the contestants,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: the friends that have announced they're going to come. Ashley
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: ran through the list. You said, Jesse and Wells and
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Hannah are going to be there along with Kelsey and Joey.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: We got Chuck and Joan, Tyler, Cameron, one of our favorites,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Jill Chin. Obviously, we have some really exciting announcements with
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: the Spencer and Jess from the season of Paradise. Also,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: we got Trista and Ryan going to be there, an
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: appearance from Ryan Setter which doesn't always happen, but we're
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: always excited to see it. Charity and Dotton, Sean Low
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: and Catherine with a mix of some Goldens. So I
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: mean you have you know, Zach and Katie as well,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: So you have a really incredible list of people coming
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: on the ship. Well, each cast or each contestant kind
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: of be hosting one of these exclusive kind of gatherings
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: are sometimes the only time you could see them is
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: at a cocktail party.
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: Everyone is going to do a handful of things, so yeah,
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: there's not just going to be one place that you
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: might have access to Joey or you know, Ryan and Trista.
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: But we do work with each of these teams to
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: kind of figure out, you know, what would be exciting
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: to them exactly. Tyler wants to lead fitness classes. That
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: makes perfect sense. Not everybody's gonna want to do that.
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: So there's gonna be cocktail parties, there's gonna be the panels.
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: We're gonna make sure everybody does something more official in
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: that capacity. Then there's also those roaming but we have
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: a casino on board. We might be hosting some black
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: Jeck tournaments. There's gonna be some dance parties. Who wants
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: to be a DJ. We're gonna find ways for people
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: to interact in a lot of different capacities on board.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: I'm just throwing out idea for you guys. You should
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: do a singles mixer something with any guy that's single,
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: justin Grant. I'm just looking, you know, at the list
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: right now. Blake Moyin's, I think the girls would really
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: like to have like their own Bachelor style cocktail party
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: with them.
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: I think that's a really good idea.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: We used to host a live show called Bachelor Live
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: on Stage that myself and Becka Kouferin used to host together,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: and we would do some speed dating on stage and
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: always got a little weird and all very exciting and
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: always very fun to watch. Darby. As we kind of
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: close off here with this, if somebody's listening, let's keep
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: it really simple and clear and easy for them. If
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: you could do two things for us. One, tell us
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: what makes you most excited for this experience, why you
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: think somebody should come? And then if somebody says I
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: want to come, what is the best way for them
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: to get started in the process of joining the cruise ship?
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: Amazing? The thing I'm most excited about and why I've
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: been at six Man for thirteen years and built a
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: lot of these events. I think it is so spectacular
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: getting to watch a community of people that really care
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: about the same thing, that are really excited to dig
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: deep and talk about it and get on board, and
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: everyone on that vacation is like minded with them and
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: have the same interests. It's really special watching those people
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: make friends and watching those people get to connect with
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: their heroes and the thing they're most passionate about. So
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: getting to create something for these fans is what.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: I'm most excited about.
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: And knowing that you know what, it's the tellels and
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: the panels and those organic moments, just what you're talking
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: about of like, it always gets a little weird in
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: the best way.
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: That's what we can't plan for. Is what I'm most
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: excited about.
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: And if you are listening and you really want to
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: find out how to get more information pricing, what the
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: pre sale incentives are, and then how to sign up

  Speaker 3: game show, and they have a couple that's been married
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: for a long time, and then like mid level and
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: then like a newlywed, and then perhaps like a couple
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: that's still dating. I mean with Trista and Ryan there
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: and then Katie and Zach.
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: And who knows right with Bespazier and just it's a
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: really good idea.
