• 1:04
  Speaker 3: let's start a breaking down the season premiere of Joey's premiere. Yes,
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: we're here for Bachelor episode season one.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: I really enjoyed the way that they kicked this one off.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: It is means nothing, I'm sure. But they start off
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: the season by showing Joey crying at the rose altar,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: the final rose altar, and they show a car pulling
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: away with one final rose left on the table while
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Joey cries. Now, Ben, what's your interpretation of this, because
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you I'll tell you mine first. It's that
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: he just sent home the runner up and he's taking
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: a break. He's very upset, obviously, as everyone would be,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: and they're just showing the in between before his final
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: pick comes out. But it was interesting. It was this
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: is an interesting way to kick it off instead of
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: just like, Hey, I'm Joey and I'm driving it convertible
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: through Malibu.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: That isn't interesting. I'm crazy, Ashley, I I must be.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: I thought that was the scene from Charity season. I
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: didn't put together that that was Joey on his final episode.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Is that crazy? Is that just me missing it?
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Mate?
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Because of his hair, because the haircut, because yeah,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: he does look good.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: And then would be standing there, it's Charity standing there.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: He's the one. He's walk up and then walk out.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Good point, good point. Yeah, that has to be the
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: in between. I don't know if he's come out publicly
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: and said he's happy yet typically.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: He has have they I don't know he seemed happy
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: that he basically was like I'm happy.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I have no doubt that he's like doing well,
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: and so it has to be the in between. But
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: it is a good way to kick off the first episode.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: We've talked about it every season. The first episode is
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: necessary because you've got to start a season and you've
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: got to introduce us to all the women or the men,
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: depending on what season is. But for the Bachelor, it's
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: the women, and we got to get to get refamiliar
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: with Joey. For any fans that maybe didn't watch Charity season,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: we want to know about him a little bit. But
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: it so it did spice this first episode up a
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: little bit, which you and I both appreciate.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: I know, yeah, yeah for sure. Now I will say
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: this episode felt really long. It dragged a bit. I
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: was like, because you know, when we watch our condensed episodes,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: is an hour and twenty twenty five minutes usually feels
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: pretty quick. This like felt I was like, midway through
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: it was like, I still have a half. That doesn't
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: mean that I wasn't bored. I just felt it just
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: felt like there wasn't you know, it was just like
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Night one, as everybody knows our opinions on Night one.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: So what I want to do is go through the
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: women's arrivals and I just want to talk about the
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: people that I really remember their names. I feel like
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: I actually did a pretty good job of remembering everybody's name,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: but like the people who really stood out to me.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: And Lexi's the first girl on the limo, and she
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: really stands out to me. She's sedunnang. She looks like
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: she could be a supermodel U. Lexi says that she
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: got chills when she found out that Joy was the bachelor.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: She has a health condition that we don't really know
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: what it is yet, but it means that she may
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: not be able to have kids, and this is something
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: that has been worrisome to her In dating. Of course,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: that is a big thing to bring up. When do
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: you bring something like that up.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: I don't think it's that's tough. I mean, I feel
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: like it's early, but it's not on the first date.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: It's like a third date.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: Well, I think it's there. I think for the shows,
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: I think it's the first time.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: They have a one on one oh yeah for the show.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I think if it's not a one on
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: one opportunity, then I feel like it's like the second
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: group date. Once there's some familiarity, once she knows that, like, hey,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Joey's actually interested in her and like they've got to
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: know each other and he's kept around, I think it's
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: that would be the time, because there's really no reason
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: for her to do it unless she knows that Joey's
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: actually pursuing her.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I totally agree with that. The next girl
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: that I find to be very memorable from this episode
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: is Maria. She is from Canada. She comes out waving
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: a Canadian flag and the Canadian flag gets blurred out.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Is that weird?
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: It is weird? It's or.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: Maybe they didn't have the rights for it, and somebody
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: on the rights right.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: It is odd. I mean, maybe Bachelor Canada can be
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: the only ones that shows the Canadian flag.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Well, she is a firecracker for sure. She she seems
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: like very alluring to Joey. I think he thinks she's sexy.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: She's definitely got swag and confidence, and we see more
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: of that with her when they have their one on
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: one session, which is when they talk about movies and
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: stuff like that, and she's like, I didn't want to
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: be the one to kiss you, but you know, it's
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: just so it just felt so right natural. And she's
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: definitely a contender for me.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: I don't like that she so quickly changed her mind.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Why make this statement I don't want to kiss him
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: and then kiss him.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Because it's just she felt natural in the moment.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Ben Jeez, I mean Kelsey A brings out a voodoo doll.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: I feel like that was ke A.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: I love her. She's also huge contender for me. Brings
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: up the voodoo doll, says she can like give you know,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: she wants to manipulate Joey through other process right, wants
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: to give him the voodoo doll, a little tennis thing.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: She's so cute. I really like her demeanor. They have
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: a really nice one on one time and a kiss,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: and so far, I feel like it's been easy for
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: me with like the Lima pairing, the Limo exit to
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: what happens when they have their one on one time.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: It seems like he's quite obvious and the ones that
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: he's pretty interested in right off the bat. Now Alison
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: and Lauren. Big deal here with Alison and Lauren, and
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: you can speak to this because they're sisters. They're not twins,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: they're two years apart. And I mean I went on
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: the Bachelor with my sister. I mean I went on
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: a Bachelor in Paradise with my sister, which is, I
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: honestly think, a totally different experience to have with your
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: sister than competing for the one direct man in front
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: of you. And uh, well, we see lesi later that
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Allison is the one. Alison, the younger sister, is the
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: one who gets the first rows of the rose ceremony.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: And then Lauren, of course, the older sister, who's all
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: the entire time showing a lot of competition with her sister,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: like she can't be the one who kisses him first.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: My clock, my biological clock, is ticking harder and fast
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: hers he gets the last rose of the rose ceremony.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: They at first tried to pretend like they're not going
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: to tell the group of girls that they're sisters, but
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: that didn't last long, and it didn't last long without
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: telling Joey too, because Joey was like, you guys are
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: both in the same area. You have similar upbringings. So
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: they tell him I just would I could not. I
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: couldn't do this with my sister because yeah, I would
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: be like just demoralized with the first kiss, with like
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: rose ceremonies. I am actually surprised. I think he keeps
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: him around together for one more week and then I
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: think he's gonna split them up, because I don't think
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: he will. I don't think he wants to deal with it.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean it's he needs to send one
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: of them home, and he needs to do it early.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: You know, it's fine to go on with your sister
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: or your twin in the twins case, uh, if you
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: have the right attitude towards it. But I feel like
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: there's way too much competition between these two sisters. Maybe
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: not the younger sister, I don't think she maybe cares
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: as much. Yeah, but the older one is like staring
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: and like breathing down the neck of the younger sister. Yeah,
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: and that's that's never gonna go well or end well.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: It's always gonna be weird. And the longer they're both there,
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: say he does pick one of them at the end,
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: it only makes home visits even weirder. So he's got
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: to decide quick, and I think he's more into the
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: younger sister. I think, I honestly think that the older
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: sister kind of she's edgier. She's edgier, and her time
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: is limited, and she just is gonna say things I
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: think to Joey to make him be like, yeah, not interested.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: I think it's weird.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Liked the shotgun beer with her at the egg at
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: the at Limo Exit.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: She was impressive. That was a very good, good talent.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think she's a good time. Like. I
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: think she's a lot of fun, and I think she's
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: gonna be like great, she's twenty eight years old, Like
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: she's gonna be all right. But I think she'll go
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: home pretty soon.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, but I think she would have lasted longer
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: if her sister wasn't there. But I don't think he
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: wants that direct company.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: I agree there. Yeah, I fully agree with you on that.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Now there's a whole other half of women to come.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: He has the most women of all.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Thirty two two.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Caitlin comes in. She's a nuclear chemist. They do a
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: little experiment to see if they have chemistry. That one
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: was that was memorable for me Jen, I think she
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: is definitely top five. She comes in the golf court,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: in a golf court, and she says, like, when I
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: find out you're a bachelor, I had to quickly race
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: over here from Miami. She's going to school to be
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: a physician's assistant. And she was like made a big
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: deal out of the fact that she was not going
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: to be on the Bachelor unless he was the Bachelor.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: I mean, you also have to bring up the you know, Daisy,
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: they have a pelotal package about her. She has an
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: incredible some incredible story life experience. But and I think
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: she's I mean, she's like my top one right now. Yeah,
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: I was just telling him just that. But it doesn't
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: help that they play like the Winner's music behind her
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: as she exits out a limo. It's like, of course,
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: Daves is going to be there a long time now,
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Like I know she's going to be there a long
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: time because they played like the beautiful like princess music
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: to her stepping out of the limos. It's like, you
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: just gave it away, show like she's there. If you
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: want to put money in Vegas on who sticks around,
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Daisy's the one.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: I totally agree with you. It was almost it was
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: almost too much. It was like you are like, she's
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: really she's really in our face right now.
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's is she Either she's and I like her.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: I do. I think she's great. I don't obviously know
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: her well. I know her from this little segment. She's
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: either going to be somebody that like makes me so
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: happy watching the show or one of my like most
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: heartbreaking exits ever because I feel like we're going to
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: fall in love with her and then like she's either
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: gonna make us so happy because we'll be like, yes,
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: Daisy is great, or she's gonna make us so sad
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: because she's gonna go home. Like I think she's really
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: going to pull her our heartstring. She's beautiful, she's kind,
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: she's considerate. She's sitting next to Joey, definitely helping Joey
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: get through this experience. She has a life story that's
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: been very impactful. She has everything to be like either
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: the chosen like person or the next bachelorette.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so what you talk about was like the life
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: thing is she is a cochlear implant. She ended up
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: losing her hearing at the age or starting to lose
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: it at seventeen, it got progressively worse and just last
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: is last year she got the cochlear implant and it's been
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: like game changing ever since. And she said she did
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: have a little moment in there with all the girls
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: where she was getting a little anxious because the sound
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: when you have all that background sound in addition to
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: whatever conversation you're having in front of you, is very overwhelming.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: But she also said to Joey during their one on
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: one time that she she was like, I'm just excited
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: for whoever you end up with. And I was like, Wow,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: that's not something you hear every every day on the Bachelor, And.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: I'm guessing she's probably being very truthful when she says that,
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: Like she seems like a type person. It's like, Hey, Joey,
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: I'm so happy to be here. I want to be here.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: I think you're great, but I'm I'm just happy for
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: whoever gets.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: To spend their life with you. Which if I was
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: a bachelor and somebody said to me, I'd be like,
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: my goodness, you are like I couldn't get I mean,
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: I'm done, Like you're the best.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, It's really sweet. So another one on one times
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: that stood out to me was with Jess, she gets
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: the first kiss of the night. I was quite surprised.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: I was, okay, yeah, I was all right, I'm glad
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: that you're saying that because I was surprised. It just
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: didn't seem like I didn't feel like a ton of
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: romantic chemistry and they both mutually went in for it.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think, I think if you were
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: there in the moment, I don't think Joey's gonna be
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: very good at small talk. He does seem like a
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: very deep person. He feels like a very intentional person.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: He seems like somebody that's going to be an incredible bachelor.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: A plus for Joey on night one, awesome, awesome, just
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: very likable, very like attractive, confident, cool, never seemed super nervous,
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: definitely made sure the girls felt comfortable. I think, and
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: I don't think it's e and like a negative. I
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: just don't think he's going to be great at small talk.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: I don't think he's gonna love like having those weird
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: conversations you're going to have. So I do imagine that
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: he's gonna be making out with people when like things
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: get weird, Like I think he's gonna be kissing them,
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: And I think that's what happened with her.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: They get along very nicely. Sure, but yeah, she comes
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: in and she tells everyone that she got a little
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: smoochie poo where I was like, okay, the producers definitely
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: put that in her ear to be like and that
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: maybe you could drop to the ladies that like, you kissed,
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: because it is the weirdest thing to offer up on
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: your own on night one.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: Oh, and it's just such It was such bad timing.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you don't want to be that girl
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: or that boy, don't.
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: Be that girl or boy, like, don't be the one
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: to say that.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Say no, she didn't. She said, I don't care. She
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: said I would do it again. I don't care. She
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: would actually interrupt again, So Taylor, during Taylor's time, she interrupts,
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: And I mean, it's never a good look to interrupt
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: when you legitimately already had your time night one and
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: you told everyone that you kiss What else are you
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: going back for? Miss And what are.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: You trying to I mean, are you literally just trying
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: to get the house to absolutely hate you from night one? Like?
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: Is that? What goals do you have here? Because she's
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: doing everything right to just get a target on her back.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she's not like she's not like gonna be really
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: villainous though, Like I think there's part of her that
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: I do like I enjoy. She's good watch, she's good TV.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: Sure, But when she was like I'm gonna get the
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: first impression Rows, I'm so happy again in my mind,
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: I'm like, I hope he gets a home.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Like he's already thinking it. He's like, oh man, I
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: regret kissing her because she's already becoming that person.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: And then it just kind of open up the floggates
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: for more makeouts. I mean he did, he he had
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: himself a time.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: He did. He kissed so many people. Uh, he kissed Daisy,
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: he kissed I think he kissed Jen, right, I guess
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: he definitely kissed Jen. Yeah, he kissed Alison one of
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: the sisters.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Did he kiss Leah Leah?
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Yes, he kissed Leah after giving her the first impression Rose,
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: and then he also kissed Lexi who new Orleans Lexi? Yeah?
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: So oh and Maria. He also kissed Maria. Yeah.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: I mean that's a that's a pretty good amount on
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: Night one, Like that's hey, you know more power to everybody,
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: But like, you don't see that every time, and I'm
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: sure there's a few maybe they'd even show so with
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: yeah kissed eight people. Yeah, eight of the thirty two
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: kiss one fourth of the population in the Bachelor Mansion.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: It's a lot.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about Leah who ends up getting Leah. I
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: think Leah who ends up getting the first impression Rose,
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: who I really would not have guessed this if you
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: would like put us back the moment where he met
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: her on stage at after the final rows. Sure, and
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: you know she was the one that like got to
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: come on his season from the basically the audience, and
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: then she got that card which she wasn't allowed to
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: open until she got in the Bachelor Mansion. Like, I
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: didn't feel like he was super into her like that
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: night on the stage, but it was definitely genuine here.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: I think there were a few more people that he
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: feels like passion with, but I think this was just
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: kind of like a nice gesture for her behaving the
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: way that she did when opening that card, which the
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: card says you're able to steal one on one date
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: from like any girl whenever you want. And I had
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: to couldn't help. But wonder what my reaction would have
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: been to getting that. I think it would have been similar.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: But the way that she was so emotional, she just
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: didn't want to ruffle any feathers, She did not want
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: to hurt anyone, steal anything. It was super sweet.
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: I mean, she's definitely she definitely is the opposite of
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: what Jess Jesse.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: Jesse is it. She is Jess. She's trying to just
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: do this thing with respect. Again, I think she had
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: a great perspective when it came to Joey said, I'm
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: going to give you autonomy, like you get to pick
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: these one on ones, and so if you want to
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: take me, great, If you don't, like, I don't want
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: to be the one to like force my way into
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: a date with you. I think it'd be really weird
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: if he was like, I'm going to take this person
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: to this date and she was said, no, it's actually
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: going to be me this time. Let the chemistry kind
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: of come about as it will. Great memory by the
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: way that she was on after the final rows, you know,
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: that's and that like their chemistry connection you know, wasn't
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: maybe as strong.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: I didn't feel it then.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, But the move to burn it.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, I thought that was a natural move. I thought
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: that was what would that came right to my head
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: was just okay, in the fire in front of these girls.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: I thought she was going to give to somebody else.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: But then I was like, who would you give it to?
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: Or she'd give to Joey to give somebody else. But
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: you're saying like a fire was like a good little.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: For getting rid of this moment.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, Yeah, she's going to make.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Friends by burning that.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, she's definitely gonna make friends. People are gonna,
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: I think, just respect her for that. I think they're
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: going to really appreciate that gesture and she might make
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: a lot of friends in the house. I don't know
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: yet if she's the one for Joey, but she did
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: get the first impression rose, which is always a big deal.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: Like we don't see first impression roses go home early
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: very often at all.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Yeah. No, she'll be around for a while,
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: but maybe not. I'm not putting her in like my
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: top five. I did make a mistake earlier. I just
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: want to point out I said that I said, Lexi, Okay,
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: so they kiss, But when I was talking about the
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: voodoo doll. I meant to say Kelsey. There are two
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Kelsey's and one of them streaks. Yeah, I think Kelsey A.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: I think Kelsey A. Sorry, guys, she.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: Gave Kelsey gave the voodoo doll to Joe.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Okay, yes, did they? I thought they kissed too? Yeah,
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: I think so. So there you go.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: Lots and lots of hard to keep up with at
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: this point.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because I'm trying to go through my top now,
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: so I would say Kelsey A, Lexi, Maria, and Jen
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: those are my top four right now.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: I like Daisy.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, no, sorry, I that's my top five.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I totally blanked.
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna say Leah, Daisy, Kelsey.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: A, and goodness.
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: Let me throw one more in here that I did
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: think had it.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: I think Maria, honestly, I just feel like she does
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: kind of have the confidence in the swagger to keep
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: him interested for a long period of time. She would
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: not be my pick at the end. I think Daisy
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: is kind of like the surefire bet at this point
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: to be there at the end. Ashley. That brings us
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: up to the Rose ceremony. A bunch of people went
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: home that we don't.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Know, don't really remember. The one that I remember was
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: the one whose name is Chandler because she said, I'm Chandler,
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: you're Joey, and I'll always be there for you. Very cute.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: That is very cute. The preview for the rest of
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: the season looks like a normal Bachelor season. There's some tears,
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: there's some crying, there's some people being upset. There wasn't
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: It was lacking, which is fine if it didn't exist
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: like the big spin. You know, we didn't have the
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: fence jump, no fence job. We didn't have those moments
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: that really like shook us.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: They're trying to make the final scene that because they
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: actually don't have one, And that's fine.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: If it's just a good old, genuine love story, I'm
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: fine with it. If there's not a big moment, I
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: bet the drama does. I mean, this house was already
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: very dramatic for Night one. Let's be honest, Like there
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: was a lot of kind of bad mouthing or frustrations
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: or whatever even for Night one.
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: So I do think some drama will come from the house.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, who it will be surrounded by? Yet we do
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: not know? All right, Well, guys, so what you're thinking.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: You know your tops. I bet you guys agree with
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: us in our top five.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there'd be some. I think it'll be shocking at
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: this point to see anybody disagree. But we're off and running, Ashley.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: See episode one is done. We'll be back next week
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: for episode two. We won't stop until the show stops,
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: which will be after Joey's season.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: What do you mean that sounds like ominous?
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: Oh, I didn't mean it that way.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: This is not the last season for what we know.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, no announcements have been made. No, no,
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: we don't know anything. We'll just keep going until Joey season. Anyways,
