  Speaker 2: the hospital room. So I'm joined by one of my favorites,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: my favorite substitute, Rachel Reccia.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Hey, Rachel, Hi, ash I'm so excited. I feel like
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: this episode is perfect for us because there's so much
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: crying and so I'm excited to hear all your takes.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Rachel, you told me before we started recording that Lee
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: thought this is a crazy episode.
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: But then you also said that you weren't sure how
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: you were enjoying the season so far.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Can I tell you that, Like, I know that I
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: wasn't in the right mindset going into watching this, Like
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: we're having some serious sleep issues with hidden right now,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: it's okay.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: So I just feel like not, I.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Feel like everything is a waste of time because like
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: my time, it feels like more precious.
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: And then when I was watching this episode, I was like,
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: this is so bad. It's a bad I'm so sorry.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: I was like, this is a waste of my time
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: right now, And I have never felt that way about
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: the show.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: I just feel like there is so much like drama
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: happening for absolutely no reason, and we're not even getting
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: We're not even getting the full picture, Like there there
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: is so much I feel like that the viewers are
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: not seeing, Like there's no way that these tears are
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: just happening like this for nothing.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: We'll give me an example then, because I find that
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: it's actually kind of drama. Lists The only time I
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: really perked up this episode was when there.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: Was the whole Rose confrontation. What do you think they're
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: crying over?
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: There has to be alcohol just flowing this.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: Oh Zoe was so drunk.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: I'm just like, cut like the morning after the group date.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: Allegedly based on our observation.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: We like cut to the morning after the group date,
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: and everyone's just crying, like hysterically sobbing like tears for
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: like an actual emotion. I think this is all like
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: ego tears happening, Like I don't even I can't even
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: comprehend why they're why everone's crying.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: And I cried, Yeah, that made no sense.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: I actually went to rewind it because they were crying
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: the morning, and then I was like, wait a second,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: did I miss something the night of it?
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: And what I'm saying we're missing things because they're crying
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: over Zoe. But then by the end of the episode,
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: she's not the villain anymore. So there's pieces missing and
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: I would love to know what actually went down.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: This is kind of how we thought with Maria last
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: year two. We thought there was some stuff missing, and
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Ben explained last week that he thinks that, like, this
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: is a big flaw of the show lately, is missing
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: pieces yep, because there's no way that yeah, emotions peak
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: like this with what we're actually seeing, all right, So
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: let's just start at the top.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: We get the preview.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Of the Carolina drama to come, but we we learned
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: from Jesse that there will be two one on one
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: dates and one group date.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: The group date is downtown.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: At first, I'm like, oh my god, this is gonna
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: this is like finance.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: No, I'm obviously I.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Know, speculating, Oh you know, he's in finance. This could
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: be a finance group date, and like that's the stupidest
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: thing ever. They would never do.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: That their boss suits, and like, yes, I was so cringe.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I was like when they had to like do the
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: slow motion with the boss suits and I almost like,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: oh my god, this show, what has it happened? What
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: does happened into it? And then we got to the
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: game and I was like, actually, this is a little
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: fun the game where they put the dollars in when
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: you know they the grant money when they had good answers.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: Hannah Burner, Hannah Burner, she saved.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: It because I needed it. I thought the whole thing
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: was bad. And then what was even worse was the
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: reward card for the grant books.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, you meat. Then the menu that they
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: handed Bailey. Yes, that's when I was like, I'm I'm
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: very antsy right now. I cannot believe I'm spending my
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: time watching this.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: I can't believe it.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: I think she's like, I'm gonna pick one of your
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: T shirts to wear, and he just was not into
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: it at all.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: This cheese, this corniness is like out of this world.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: So fillery uh huh la la la la. But yes,
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: Hannah Burner was good.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: And then there was like the grant dollars that they
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: would get from the money machine, and that's a waste
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: of time too, all right. So then then we get
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: to Zoe, and Zoe says that, like all the girls
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: are mean, and what did they even say that? What
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: was like the particular oh it is the short skirt thing.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: That wasn't the start of it.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: They already don't like her because of last week, right,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: and then this week they she was like getting a
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: drink and they were all talking about how short her
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: dress was. Yeah, and she crying about it. Yeah, she
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: goes to Grant. She starts this obviously sob story and
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: then she's like smiling, She's like smirking while she's saying it,
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: and you could just tell, like lights are on. I
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: don't know. It was a lot to watch, but he
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: automatically just like takes her side. At the end of
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: the group date, he's yelling at the girls, kind of
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: not yelling, but he's confronting them over what issue? Where's
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: the issue?
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: The issues there being mean because they're saying that she
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: has a short skirt on, which you know, in today's
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: day and age, we usually don't do that caddie thing.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: They just don't like her, so they're picking on.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: Her a little bit.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: There has to be a villain, Yeah, bonds the girls.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah to the villain.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: But so he's leaning into it. And then all of
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: a sudden, she starts crying and being like I want
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: to be a part of the group, like you didn't
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: last week.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: No, she does not care about being part of the group.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: And she was she's just like slurring. It was like
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: she's a little slurry whatever. It was so of non consequence.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Oh wait, wait, can we talk about how Parisa gets
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: this rose?
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, very bizarre, very bizarre week. I was so weirded
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: out last week that she even got a rose over
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: some of the girls that went home. And then like Parisa,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: she's still here now she gets the rose after doing
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: a choking date. Basically she he has a choking activity
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: for him where I am going insane with anxiety and
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: talk thinking about how dangerous it is to stuff this
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: many rice Crispy treats in your mouth and like this
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: is supposed to be funny, not funny.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: And he is trying so hard to not have his
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: arm around her. I literally wrote it down. He's bending
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: his arm backwards to have it around the chair to
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: not be around her. And then I'm supposed to believe
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: that he wanted to give her the rose because she's goofy,
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: Like you could tell who he has come to you with,
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: it's so obvious. And then he just like does something different.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: It's I'm very confused. That group date was all around.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: I didn't enjoy watching.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: It, No, not at all.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: And then we cut to the morning of just hysterical
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: crime over Zoe.
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: Very strange stuff.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Hey everyone, Amy Robock here along with TJ Holmes, and
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: we have a very exciting announcement to make to all
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: of you.
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: We are now going to be coming to you Monday
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: through Friday for new part of our Amy and TJ franchise,
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: If you will, the Morning Run. We're going to help
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: listeners navigate the busy news cycle and the historic political
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: season that the country is facing. And we're going to
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: do this now each and every day.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: Listen to Morning Run on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: or wherever you listen to podcasts.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: So then we go we go on the one on
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: one with Carolina and I first thought that like the
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: whole jumping eight hundred feet off the strat was like
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: the worst thing that I would never do that, and
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I hate that for them, But then it kind of
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: looked fun.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: I enjoyed this date. Actually, I think she's a lot
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: of fun. I think they have good chemistry. Her style
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: is great, and I thought they had a really good
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: like conversation at dinner. Overall, see her being a front runner.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: She's definitely a front runner, but she definitely still gives
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: villain energy to me, or maybe is drama energy.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: She's going to be a villain for her and Zoe,
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: but he really likes both of them, so it really
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: isn't matter.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: They're both going to get relatively far. But I don't
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: think either one of them is this. You can also
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: tell because Carolina was like, you said it was a
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: good date, not a really good date. I said, really good.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: And then at the end of the date with Letia,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: he's like, I can imagine this being my wife. So
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: it's like, Okay, there's a huge difference here. He likes Carolina,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: but he's not He's not obsessed like he is with
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Litia anyway, So.
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: She says she talks about how.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: She has epilepsy and how this can often stand in
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: her way of like making connections with guys, and he's
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: very sweet with this, of course, and that's kind of
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: how we leave it. Anything else to make make comments on.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: I will have comments on her later in the episode,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: but after this, nothing much to say now.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: Uh, morning after again?
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: Bizarre, That's what I mean.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Morning after But like gets even weirder throughout the episode, right.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: Like why are afternoon.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Beverly's gone one on one dates? Kids? Like? Where that's
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: that didn't happen? What actually happened? Like I feel like
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: they're just not letting us in.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: This is the weirdest thing because first we know who's
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: getting the one on one dates at the top of
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: the episode, it's gonna be Beverly and it's going to
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: be Katalina. Catalina makes total sense o getting the one
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: on one. But what's so strange is that when we
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: finally get to the time that Beverly has her one
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: on one, they go but Beverly wasn't feeling good yesterday
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: and today she's just not here and we don't know
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: if she's ever going.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: To come back.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Why.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: I don't believe that me neither what happened. I don't
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: think she's sick.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: I don't think she's sick either. I feel like there
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: is something going down in the house with the girls.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: And maybe I'm wrong, but the dramatic crying the morning
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: after the group date, like, it just feels like something's happening.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: What if they were crying over Beverly and they pretended
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: as if they were crying over the Zoe drama.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: Could be something. She's not sick and she just went home.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: They love to like if someone is sick, they love
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: to like make a whole thing of it, like the
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: baby and the medical and the ambulance.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Comes to Zach and his COVID. Well, I mean I
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: guess Zach was the lead, so it's a little bit different.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah. No, there's no way. I just don't believe it.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: If they don't address this in the next episode, I
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: am going to be so freaking weird out.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: We're just gonna it's gonna be like when Logan just
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: disappeared from our season.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: Oh my god.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: They don't address things when people leave they' She's like, oh, like,
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: we don't see it.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: It wouldn't have been weird if she wasn't supposed to
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: have the one on one exactly, And they announced it
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: earlier in the episode, which makes it even weirder because
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: normally we wouldn't we wouldn't necessarily know who was going
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: to get the second one on one until later in
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: weird anyway, So when we moved beyond that, we have
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Carolina crying in the house the day after her date
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: because she's so jealous that somebody else and in this case,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: three other girls who already had a group date, they're
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: going to go have another date with him, and that
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: includes Latia, Dina and Sarah Fina say all that, Latia, Dina, Serafina.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: What an awkward number? Like three people?
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: I guess like they wanted Yeah, why wouldn't they just
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: put somebody else on the one on one that he
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: was thinking about using for next week?
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: Like I had a date one terim with four guys
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: and it was so weird, like everyone and see the
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: conversations that are happening. It's uncomfortable. And then all of
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: a sudden, like Letia just wins the date.
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Rachel?
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Was there a competition?
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Second?
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: Wait a second?
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Am I I was thinking? Am I that out of it?
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: That I missed something?
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: Totally? She did?
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: She just ju was just on the date and Dina
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: and Sarapina come back. First of all, I'd be kissed
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: if I was them, because he very obviously chose whom
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: he liked the best. Yeah, unless there was a game
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: that we didn't see because they cut it out, because
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: they're cutting everything else.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: He never sat them down and said, like, I'm going
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: to bring one of you to dinner.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: What it is that weird? Okay, go to dinner.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: And it's probably the most meaningful part of the episode
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: is just their connection. She tells him about how her
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: dad died when she was three months old, and her
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: mom and her mom his family was there for her
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: and seems like she had as good of an upbringing
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: as you could have given that situation. They FaceTime her mom.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: That's sweet. I don't think he would have done that
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: if he didn't expect her to be at hometowns. I
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: think she's kind of been a front runner since night one.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: If anything, I might be crowning her the one to
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: be right now.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: I agree. I think she like the fact that they
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: were crying together and her just kissing him over and
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: over again during one on one. I think it was
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: the best connection we've seen him have with anyone so far.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: I agree I really I really.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Liked their one on one but again, how did it happen? Like?
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: How am I supposed to be invested? But I just
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: have what's happening? People are disappearing one of my days
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: are just manifesting thin air like this is a mess.
• 15:03

• 15:50
  Speaker 2: one on one and now I'm so sad we'll never
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: play well. And then in the midst of this emotional spiral, yeah,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: she says to Rose. She and Rose are comparing notes
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: basically like a one up battle.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: Which I will say, like on my season, people would
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: just like, well, there's a girl in my season when
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: the cameras went down, would just like casually mention things
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: and like start planting the seeds of doubt. And it
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: makes me wonder, like because obviously Carolina is spiraling yah,
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: and Rose knows this, and I feel like I just
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: am getting a weird vibe from Rose.
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: Okay, that's so funny.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: Do you feel the opposite?
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, I feel that I told Ben early
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: on that just based on the teaser for the season
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: and just Rose's profile fixture in her mini mini bio,
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: I was like, this one is the undercover shit stir.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: She's like doing that on purpose. Like, you cannot convince
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: me when someone starts spiraling, when you start to throw
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: in details that you're not even one hundred percent sure about,
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: you're doing it on purpose to like make them start
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: to have doubt. It happened on our season. There's no
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: way that's not happening here.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: It doesn't make any sense to me how like any
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: kind of human being in this situation, which is weird enough,
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: would actually say like, hey, he told me that when
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: he was dancing with you that he was thinking of me.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: Who would say that to Eddie?
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: You were trying to put doubt into someone's head who's
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: spiraling like Carolina. I feel like it's like bags packed,
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: like she's obviously like not cut out for this type
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: of dating. And someone who does that, like I don't
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: trust them, And I feel like Carolina's gonna get the
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: villain at it when I feel like it should maybe
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: be Rose.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: It was really a very strange resolution, yeah, because he
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: pulls Rose aside after Carolina tells him this and she's like,
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: you know what, maybe I did do that, Like I'm sorry.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: Isn't that what Eric trying to tell me? Like maybe
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: I misinterpreted what you were.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Trying to tell me, but like, I'm sorry if I
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: did say that, and it wasn't what she meant, And
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: it was one kind of refreshing to hear her say
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: like I'm sorry and not be you know, just back up,
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: like no, no, no, blah blahh she just kind of
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: admitted to it, but at the same time so so
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: weird that it does end the episode with a vibe
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: that like, oh, we're just gonna forget that right that
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Rose did this, and Catalina is still a little bit unbalanced. Carolina,
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Sorry Catalina, Carolina.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: Because it's like, okay, a first of all, just going
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: back a little bit, this waste of time, from this
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: waste of time Golden Batchelor men being here for no reason,
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: and then now the girls are complaining, we didn't get
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: enough time because of Carolyn un ropes. You didn't get
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: enough time because they decided to throw a problem, which
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: is so unnecessary when you already don't get time.
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: More boringness, so unnecessary.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: I agree. That's why I'm so confused. It feels very
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: like there's just so many roadblocks happening here. And also
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: like I wanted to ask you this because you know
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: how sometimes people will do little like activities with the lead,
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: like every once in a while this episode, every single
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: conversation I saw, they have these like activities planned. They're
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: like asking the prom they're doing. I'm so sick and
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: tired of it. And then these girls are complaining that
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: Carolina is the reason that they're not in time.
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's absolutely not true.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: She's addressing something that I would have absolutely addressed. You
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: say this.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: She had every right to be emo towards him, because
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: if somebody said that to me, like he was thinking
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: about another girl and he was dancing with you, yeah,
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: you're gonna say it because not because he partially upsetting
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: because he apparently was thinking about another girl during the
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: intimate moment, but mostly because he told another girl supposedly
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: that you know, in her head, he told another girl,
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: I was thinking about you when I was with her.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: And what I love the most is when when he
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: sat down with Carolina. Initially, the first thing he says
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: is I've been thinking about you. It's clearly it's like
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: go to live.
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I've been thinking about you.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: Oh my god. And then when she's like someone said
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: this and he starts listing off names, he was.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: Okay. First he goes, was it Bailey? Was it Dina?
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: Was it?
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: Who that? There was one other? Sorry? Who else was
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: the other one? Who said? Oh no, he said Lytia,
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: and he likes Lytia.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: I thought initially when he was like Dina, was it
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Bailey was because like he didn't like them and he
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: wants to get rid of them, and then he, by
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: pross of elimination, got to Rose. He totally doesn't like Dina,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: and we know he doesn't like Bailey because he eliminates her.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: I don't think he likes Rose either, because when he
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: was sitting down with Rose, it was very like you
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: said this about the girl. I like, like you could
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: tell he wanted to save this connection with Carolina.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so was this like a producer move, like they
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: wanted him to.
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: Keep her sort of thing, because but like he Yeah, she's.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: Having the conflict with now the new villain because then
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden, at the end of this episode,
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: Zoe's slow dancing with this like angelic music behind her.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: I'm like, isn't this the villain? Or are we or
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: do we hand that over?
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: This is kind of what happens when there's no true villain.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so true. Yeah, I'm like, imagine, like she's
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: that terrorize.
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: Us in that house.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: It was so easy because we all just like baited
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: against her. But now I can't even figure out what's
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: happening and who's right and who's wrong because it's also stupid.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, the prom thing too, You're right, that was
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: just extra extra.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: We don't need it. We don't need the guys from
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: Golden Coming on. They added nothing.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, it seems like we're getting these weird eliminations where
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: they're focusing on like in the episode Girls that are
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: gonna be eliminated that Bailey had a lot of time.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Ali Joe has always been the girl that was like,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: Oh, I want my time.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: I'm not getting time for purpose. We know Ali Joe's purpose,
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: but she's gonna swing on everyone but Alicia. Like that's
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: another one where I feel like we're missing pieces.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: Alisha last week was weird.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: They must have had the most awkward conversation of all time,
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: or they massively disagreed on something, or maybe like.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: What if the producers were just like they went to Grant,
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: They're like, oh, Alishaan's to go home and he's just
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: like okay, and she did it. Like It's like it
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: feels like we're missing something because they're as a connection.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: And there's no way, oh he had a connection with
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: Alicia Knight one for sure, and then for it to
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: disappear during.
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: Two very very weird.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know, all right, Well, so then then Chloe
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: the model, she goes home as well.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: Wasn't surprised by that.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: And now we see the preview for the next few weeks,
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: and we hear Rose in the background saying, you stabbed
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: and you backstabbed me.
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: You did me dirty?
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: How?
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: I don't know how. I don't know how.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: I really hope we're not the only ones that see this,
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: because this is actually crazy. Yeah, if we somehow made her,
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: maybe she'll do more crazy stuff. But I think Rose
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: is wrong.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: Look, Carolina is not. She's She doesn't come across me
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: as innocent, right.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: She was straddling him making out with them.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: There's something very emotional about her, and you know you
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: and I are very very emotional. You can't like we're
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: the last people to talk. But like, she definitely has
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: like that thing where it's like she's not one hundred
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: percent beloved, which like you and I weren't one hundred
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: percent beloved either. Because some people, and especially the way
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: they portray people personalities like ours, it always comes across as.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: Like, oh, watch out for her. She might be so
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: what's going on? But in this situation, it's definitely Rose
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: in the wrong.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: I agree, and I think we're just not gonna see it.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: I think it's just gonna.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: I don't see what happens well and definitely God as well.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: So that was the episode.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: We will be getting on one of these girls, Bailey, Ali,
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Joe to tell us what happened to Beverly and we
• 24:53

• 24:55
  Speaker 2: us that.
