0:12
Speaker 2: breaking news exciting Bachelor in Paradise. They just released the

0:32
Speaker 2: we're liking, who maybe we're missing, and some things along
0:38
Speaker 2: the way as well.
0:39
Speaker 1: So welcome Maddie.
0:40
Speaker 3: Hi, Hi, everybody. I'm so excited to get into the
0:44
Speaker 3: first batch of Paradise.
0:47
Speaker 2: Yes, so exciting. I can't wait, can't wait for the
0:51
Speaker 2: season to air.
0:53
Speaker 1: I can't wait to.
0:54
Speaker 2: Hear more about more people coming because I feel like
0:58
Speaker 2: it's not always just first wave, you know. I would
1:03
Speaker 2: love to have Ashley on because she's, you know, expert
1:06
Speaker 2: all things Bachelor in Paradise to know if there's like
1:10
Speaker 2: some statistics on how many relationships come from just the
1:15
Speaker 2: first wave and how many relationships come from like the
1:18
Speaker 2: second third, you know, more and more as we go.
1:21
Speaker 2: I'm sure we could go on to Bachelor data on
1:23
Speaker 2: their Instagram account, and I'm sure they have all this information.
1:26
Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm really excited that we have just a
1:30
Speaker 2: sneak peek of who's gonna be there and their vibe
1:35
Speaker 2: kind of walking in. It's kind of a whole new vibe,
1:39
Speaker 2: I would say. You know, it's very like the music
1:43
Speaker 2: in the trailer was very island, and not that that's
1:46
Speaker 2: any different, but our producer Heather pointed out to me
1:51
Speaker 2: that in this trailer they're not using this song almost Paradise,
1:57
Speaker 2: which they have used consistently I feel like from the
2:02
Speaker 2: beginning of Bachelor in Paradise, right, So it's kind of
2:05
Speaker 2: a new vibe.
2:06
Speaker 3: Right totally. Do you think that we're going to get
2:09
Speaker 3: a new theme song or are they just sort of
2:11
Speaker 3: teasing us for the big reveal in the first episode
2:15
Speaker 3: that they're going to drop the og theme song again.
2:18
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's a good question.
2:20
Speaker 2: I feel like it's very It was very and yes,
2:24
Speaker 2: it was always on the same beach, right, So this
2:27
Speaker 2: is different because now it's in Costa Rica, so you know,
2:30
Speaker 2: it is a different location, but they always did it
2:35
Speaker 2: on the beach or in the you know, the resort,
2:40
Speaker 2: the Bachelor in Paradise resort in Mexico, and and and
2:45
Speaker 2: so it's new. They're walking into new, a new place,
2:48
Speaker 2: and it just, I don't know, it looks more like
2:51
Speaker 2: high definition. I'm sure it was high definition you know before,
2:55
Speaker 2: but it just has i don't know, kind of more sophisticated.
3:00
Speaker 2: I feel like the intros back in the day were
3:02
Speaker 2: very always very silly, like someone was, you know, naked
3:07
Speaker 2: and covering themselves with the palm.
3:08
Speaker 1: Leaf or you know, whatever it was.
3:10
Speaker 2: All all of the intros are most of them, I'd
3:14
Speaker 2: say ninety nine percent of them were very like silly
3:17
Speaker 2: like Three's Company, you know, and if you know what
3:20
Speaker 2: that is, you weren't even born when Three's Company was around.
3:25
Speaker 3: Well, I'm silly and the cheesy, and I hope that
3:28
Speaker 3: they bring back those intros. I think that we're sensing
3:32
Speaker 3: more of that, like you said, polished professional vibe, but
3:36
Speaker 3: let's bring back the fun. I'm excited to see what
3:39
Speaker 3: this crew has for us. I hope it's entertaining. Like
3:44
Speaker 3: we said, we've only gotten the first batch and that
3:46
Speaker 3: did not include any of the Goldens yet, So I'm
3:50
Speaker 3: excited to see who they bring down. I hope there's
3:53
Speaker 3: some surprises.
3:55
Speaker 2: Yes, they're always there will be for sure, there will
3:57
Speaker 2: be surprises. Who knows when they'll come, but there will
4:01
Speaker 2: for sure be surprises. So let's go through the cast
4:05
Speaker 2: and let y'all in on who is actually going to be.
4:09
Speaker 1: Part of this first wave. So let's start it off.
4:13
Speaker 2: We've got three girls from Grant season, which was the
4:16
Speaker 2: most recent recent season, and that's Alex with an E.
4:20
Speaker 2: I love that she spells her name with an E.
4:21
Speaker 2: At the end, Bailey, who I loved from the season,
4:25
Speaker 2: and Zoe and Alex was the one for those out
4:28
Speaker 2: there who might not know them by name, who had
4:33
Speaker 2: the date in the mall which they were playing on
4:35
Speaker 2: the piano. It was really actually really cute. I love
4:39
Speaker 2: her too. And Bailey is showing up to the beach.
4:42
Speaker 2: She said her tagline was I'm trading the bob for
4:46
Speaker 2: a bikini. And she's got these long braids in her hair.
4:50
Speaker 2: She looks phenomenal. I love the braids. And then Zoe
4:56
Speaker 2: is the one that, Oh, in the beginning, he was
5:00
Speaker 2: the one who was interrupting people. She caused a little
5:04
Speaker 2: bit of drama in the beginning with the interruptions or
5:08
Speaker 2: multiple interruptions. And she was the one also that they
5:13
Speaker 2: I think they first announced her on the after the
5:16
Speaker 2: final rows for Grant.
5:19
Speaker 1: So what do you think about those three so far?
5:22
Speaker 3: Well, I have to say my favorite from Grant season
5:25
Speaker 3: was Alex. I love that her tagline plays into her
5:29
Speaker 3: intro to Grant. I left my no drama lama at home.
5:32
Speaker 3: I'm also a baker the idea of taglines in general
5:35
Speaker 3: as a Housewives fan, I have to say some of
5:39
Speaker 3: the rest of the casts are not my favorite. But
5:42
Speaker 3: we can get into that taglines.
5:43
Speaker 2: You mean some of the rest of the cat yes,
5:45
Speaker 2: got it, y yep.
5:46
Speaker 3: I think some of them were trying a little bit
5:49
Speaker 3: too hard to be funny, and some of them, yeah,
5:52
Speaker 3: missed the mark a little bit. Just in general, it
5:55
Speaker 3: seemed like they were just listing what they were looking
5:57
Speaker 3: for on the beach instead of really making it at themselves.
6:01
Speaker 2: I don't know that we can say that they came
6:03
Speaker 2: up with these on their own.
6:06
Speaker 3: I agree. I think, actually, yeah, rule.
6:11
Speaker 2: So let's not like, you know, blame them for maybe
6:15
Speaker 2: a bad, bad tagline, but I think that, yeah, the
6:20
Speaker 2: ones that we like, I think are going to stand
6:22
Speaker 2: out more. It's the same as when they did the
6:26
Speaker 2: intros on the beach on previous seasons. There are some
6:29
Speaker 2: that I was like, oh my gosh, that was so
6:31
Speaker 2: cute and so like memorable, and then there were some
6:35
Speaker 2: that I was just like, really, that was kind of boring,
6:38
Speaker 2: you know. So there are definitely going to be taglines
6:42
Speaker 2: that we like and taglines that we don't. So I'm
6:44
Speaker 2: not a real Housewife viewer. I mean I've seen it before,
6:48
Speaker 2: but not consistently. So this is a thing that the
6:51
Speaker 2: Housewives do every season.
6:52
Speaker 3: This is a thing and they base it on the
6:55
Speaker 3: events of the most recent seasons. They change every season,
6:59
Speaker 3: which is kind of fun.
7:01
Speaker 1: I like that.
7:02
Speaker 3: Don't know why they're choosing to bring it to Paradise
7:04
Speaker 3: because it's not part of the regular Bachelor show, but
7:08
Speaker 3: I think it's fun. I think they're trying something different,
7:10
Speaker 3: and like I said, I think some of them, I
7:12
Speaker 3: think some of them worked. Maybe we can get into
7:14
Speaker 3: which were our favorites and not favorites once we get
7:17
Speaker 3: through the rest of the cast.
7:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do want to say, we said Alex and Bailey's,
7:22
Speaker 2: but Zoe's is here to Here's to shooting your shot again,
7:29
Speaker 2: which I think is a little catchy. I mean, she
7:31
Speaker 2: did talk about how she was shooting her shot when
7:34
Speaker 2: she did those interruptions on Grant season, so that factors in.
7:38
Speaker 2: But okay, so moving on from gen trans season, We've
7:44
Speaker 2: got a lot of guys. We've got Brian, Hakeem, Ricky,
7:49
Speaker 2: Jeremy Spencer, Sam m and Jonathan Who.
7:54
Speaker 1: I mean, he was pretty much a shoe in.
7:58
Speaker 2: I feel like anyone who watches the show probably could
8:01
Speaker 2: guess that he was going to show up. He was
8:03
Speaker 2: definitely one of the ones that I thought would be
8:06
Speaker 2: on the show. Who were your favorites from this batch?
8:11
Speaker 3: Ooh, that's tough. I've actually met Jonathan, have you? I
8:16
Speaker 3: have at Ben's baby shower back in December. He was hilarious.
8:21
Speaker 3: He has the perfect personality for it. He's so personable,
8:24
Speaker 3: he's so charming. I think he's going to be very
8:26
Speaker 3: popular on the Beach. I have to say I'm also
8:28
Speaker 3: a Hakeem fan, probably because of his infamous reaction pases
8:33
Speaker 3: at the finality the women. Ye know, he's always like
8:40
Speaker 3: in shock right. I was also a big Spencer fan
8:45
Speaker 3: during the seventh season. So those three I hope go
8:49
Speaker 3: really far and I hope they find someone on the beach.
8:54
Speaker 1: Yeah for sure.
8:54
Speaker 2: Okay, so taglines, We've got Brian, who said hey, hey, hey,
8:59
Speaker 2: I'm trying to fallen love here, but I think it
9:01
Speaker 2: was He's got a big accent, right, yeah, he's.
9:05
Speaker 3: Like if we could hear him say.
9:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, true story, because I'm not gonna try. We've got
9:14
Speaker 2: Hakeem's tagline is I'm here for sparks, the kisses, and
9:19
Speaker 2: someone who gets my humor. So that's one of the ones.
9:22
Speaker 2: I feel like they totally could have. They could have
9:28
Speaker 2: honed in on those, like visuals like the big eyes,
9:31
Speaker 2: like saying something like his big eyes or his reactions
9:35
Speaker 2: or something like that instead of I'm here for sparks,
9:38
Speaker 2: the kisses, and someone who gets my humor, because aren't
9:40
Speaker 2: we all?
9:42
Speaker 3: I love him, and I think that that was really generic.
9:45
Speaker 1: Yes true story?
9:46
Speaker 2: Oh yes, Actually maybe that is hinting at his season
9:53
Speaker 2: on Bachelor in Paradise, Like maybe there are some sparks
9:57
Speaker 2: going on for him in Paradise and some kisses and
10:02
Speaker 2: we'll get to see some of his humors, so that'll
10:04
Speaker 2: be fun. Let's see who else was from that season. Jonathan.
10:09
Speaker 2: His tagline is I'm just a medium king looking for
10:13
Speaker 2: big love. Okay, tell me what the medium king is
10:15
Speaker 2: because I don't remember that from previous season.
10:19
Speaker 3: Okay, he refers to himself as a medium king because
10:22
Speaker 3: he's not the tallest. He's not sure, but he's not
10:25
Speaker 3: super tall. I would say he got it five seven,
10:29
Speaker 3: five eight. So maybe he's looking for well, actually, I
10:34
Speaker 3: don't want to say that he's looking for someone who's
10:35
Speaker 3: more petite than he is.
10:37
Speaker 2: No, I mean maybe maybe he isn't, because he does
10:40
Speaker 2: say looking for big love, so maybe that means a
10:43
Speaker 2: taller woman who knows. Okay, I love that. That's so
10:49
Speaker 2: cute and that's a good one.
10:52
Speaker 1: I like that.
10:52
Speaker 2: And does he play up that medium king thing on
10:56
Speaker 2: his social does that something that he's kind of known for? Okay, yes, okay,
11:01
Speaker 2: we've also got Brian came, Ricky, Jeremy and Spencer.
11:07
Speaker 1: Ricky's is ola.
11:08
Speaker 2: Oh he said his tagline in Spanish, like, it's very
11:13
Speaker 2: clear that he is fluent in Spanish, and I don't
11:17
Speaker 2: know a woman out there who doesn't like a man
11:20
Speaker 2: who can speak another language.
11:23
Speaker 1: So I think that'll be fun.
11:25
Speaker 3: I hope he's fluent in Spanish and that he didn't. Yeah, true,
11:30
Speaker 3: because they're so true.
11:33
Speaker 2: He could have and then there would be no connection
11:36
Speaker 2: to why he said what he said. But hey, either
11:39
Speaker 2: way and then it either way it's cute, and either
11:42
Speaker 2: way he sounds good saying it, so I like it. Uh, Spencer,
11:48
Speaker 2: no more shallow waters. I'm ready to get deep. Okay,
11:51
Speaker 2: talk to me about the shallow waters thing. Where does
11:53
Speaker 2: that come from?
11:55
Speaker 3: Okay? I don't know off the top of my head either,
11:57
Speaker 3: but I'm wondering if they're also hinting at his season
12:00
Speaker 3: of paradise. Maybe he has a date where they go swimming,
12:03
Speaker 3: they have a little kiss. I'm thinking that that's what
12:07
Speaker 3: they could be referring to here.
12:09
Speaker 2: Maybe he's referring to shallow waters like he didn't get
12:13
Speaker 2: to hang out as long and get as deep into
12:17
Speaker 2: a relationship with Jen as he would have liked. Maybe
12:20
Speaker 2: that's it too, Who knows, but we'll find out, of course.
12:24
Speaker 1: Okay, So.
12:26
Speaker 2: There are some wild cards, and this one has been discussed,
12:31
Speaker 2: I know on Almost Famous with Ben and Ashley Dale,
12:36
Speaker 2: Claire Crawley's ex fiance, who you know, I think has
12:44
Speaker 2: kind of laid low. I think since they broke up.
12:48
Speaker 2: Maybe he hasn't, and maybe I just I'm not in
12:52
Speaker 2: the know, but I feel like he's kind of laid low.
12:55
Speaker 2: So the fact that he's coming back is really really
13:01
Speaker 2: I think going to make people emotional in one way
13:06
Speaker 2: or another, like they're either going to be really excited
13:08
Speaker 2: to see him, or maybe they're gonna have the opposite reaction.
13:11
Speaker 1: How are you feeling about Dale?
13:13
Speaker 3: I was shocked to see his name on the cast announcement.
13:16
Speaker 3: I really was, you know. I think it's interesting. He's
13:20
Speaker 3: a little bit older than most of the other contestants.
13:23
Speaker 3: We'll have to see if he's really able to gel
13:26
Speaker 3: with the group. I think it would be really interesting.
13:30
Speaker 3: Also if he's prepared to get engaged right now. You know,
13:33
Speaker 3: heage declare very fast, and I wonder if he's ready
13:37
Speaker 3: for another quick turnaround like that. I also have a
13:40
Speaker 3: really crazy theory that I want to put out there.
13:43
Speaker 3: Yes please, if Dale could possibly be thinking about being
13:49
Speaker 3: the next Bachelor and he's going on Paradise to sort
13:53
Speaker 3: of reintroduce himself to Bachelor Nation and test the waters
13:58
Speaker 3: and put himself out there X I all move. I
14:04
Speaker 3: don't know. I'm really excited to see what happens though,
14:06
Speaker 3: and I do have some ideas of who I think
14:08
Speaker 3: he could be paired well with.
14:11
Speaker 1: So we'll definitely get into that.
14:13
Speaker 2: But I want to go back to what you just said,
14:16
Speaker 2: and that is that he is thinking that he could
14:20
Speaker 2: position himself to be the next Bachelor. I think that
14:23
Speaker 2: is so smart, and I think there is definitely some
14:28
Speaker 2: possible validity to that. But yes, I feel like he's
14:33
Speaker 2: been kind of under the radar for so long. And
14:36
Speaker 2: you know, the breakup after he and Claire left the
14:41
Speaker 2: show engaged was definitely dramatic, you know, one of the
14:48
Speaker 2: most dramatic things to happen in Bachelor Land, but I
14:51
Speaker 2: think it was It was really dramatic. So and I
14:57
Speaker 2: don't think people looked very highly on I know that
15:02
Speaker 2: if you're friends with Claire, which I am, I definitely
15:05
Speaker 2: was kind of siding with her. And yeah, I think
15:11
Speaker 2: I'm wondering what she will have to say about it. Actually,
15:15
Speaker 2: do you know if she's had anything to say about
15:18
Speaker 2: this yet. Maybe we need to have her on the podcast.
15:20
Speaker 3: We should ask her what her thoughts are. Maybe once
15:23
Speaker 3: it starts airing and we start to see what he's
15:27
Speaker 3: doing down on the beach, she can come and way, yeah,
15:30
Speaker 3: but I don't think she said yeah publicly, so that
15:32
Speaker 3: would be.
15:33
Speaker 1: Okay an idea to ask her.
15:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, we need to have her on the podcast. Okay,
15:39
Speaker 2: let's see we've got oh. I wanted to get into
15:42
Speaker 2: his tagline because he said something about football, and I'm
15:48
Speaker 2: just going to leave it at that. It was about
15:49
Speaker 2: football and nothing about how he had been on Bachelorette before,
15:57
Speaker 2: that he had been engaged before, Like there was nothing
16:00
Speaker 2: like that, and I feel like they could have like
16:03
Speaker 2: poked fun at at that at himself. I think that's
16:07
Speaker 2: always a really attractive feature when someone has some humor
16:14
Speaker 2: about or you know, kind of admits to things that
16:19
Speaker 2: they've maybe done poorly in the past or maybe not
16:23
Speaker 2: made the best decisions in regard to So I feel
16:27
Speaker 2: like they lost an opportunity there to have that tag nine.
16:30
Speaker 2: Not to say that the tagline is everything, Like obviously
16:33
Speaker 2: he'll be on the beach having lots of conversations, probably
16:37
Speaker 2: with lots of women or maybe just one or two.
16:40
Speaker 2: We'll have to see, but hopefully he'll get into you know,
16:46
Speaker 2: what happened with him and Claire and take some ownership
16:51
Speaker 2: of things that he's done.
16:53
Speaker 3: Totally, and I think they really threw it back with
16:56
Speaker 3: this tagline. They're almost giving him a clean slate. Yeah,
17:00
Speaker 3: a little bit of acknowledgment that you see it's a
17:02
Speaker 3: major veteran from Bachelor Nation.
17:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally. Oh this is a good one. Bachelor Season
17:21
Speaker 2: twenty seven alum and Bachelor in Paradise alum Cat who
17:26
Speaker 2: actually got engaged, didn't she last season of Bachelor in
17:30
Speaker 2: Paradise John Henry?
17:32
Speaker 1: Yes.
17:34
Speaker 2: So that is a huge one for me, considering she
17:38
Speaker 2: was engaged and is coming back to a beach, not
17:42
Speaker 2: the beach that she got engaged on, but to a
17:45
Speaker 2: beach on Bachelor in Paradise to try again. And I
17:49
Speaker 2: love that her tagline taps into that. She says, I'm back.
17:54
Speaker 2: You know what they say, cats have nine lives. I
17:57
Speaker 2: love that tagline. That might be one of my favorites.
18:00
Speaker 3: I thought it was so and it's funny, and she
18:03
Speaker 3: takes then it herself that she tried to try again.
18:07
Speaker 3: You know, I had really mixed feelings about Cat last season.
18:12
Speaker 3: It's hard. She was the main character of Paradise, I
18:15
Speaker 3: would argue, but her time was really tumultuous. She also
18:19
Speaker 3: wasn't the nicest and so I'm really interested to see
18:24
Speaker 3: if she comes back this season as the villain or
18:26
Speaker 3: if she's gonna play it more low key since she's
18:29
Speaker 3: now an alum and she's gonna be one of the
18:32
Speaker 3: more seasoned members of this cast.
18:35
Speaker 2: Yes, I totally agree, And I have to go back
18:39
Speaker 2: to the tagline for one second and say that the
18:42
Speaker 2: end of it, she it went like a you know,
18:46
Speaker 2: a cat with his claws out, and I was like, Oh,
18:50
Speaker 2: that's perfect. Like the little audio right after she says
18:54
Speaker 2: her tagline was actually perfect to like kind of get
18:58
Speaker 2: into what you were talking about. That she wasn't maybe
19:02
Speaker 2: the nicest on the last season of Bachelor in Paradise.
19:05
Speaker 2: So I just hope that there's some kind of redemption
19:09
Speaker 2: and maybe she learned a little bit from watching herself
19:14
Speaker 2: on Bachelor in Paradise last time.
19:15
Speaker 3: We'll see if she comes with the claws out this
19:17
Speaker 3: time exactly.
19:21
Speaker 2: Let's see, we've got from season seventeen justin Glaize, We've
19:25
Speaker 2: got from Joey's season Jess and Lexi, who I love.
19:30
Speaker 2: We're going to come back to her in just a second.
19:32
Speaker 2: We've also got Kyle Howard, who was who Katie Thurston
19:37
Speaker 2: sent home on week two, and I think that covers
19:42
Speaker 2: all of the cast members. I will say Lexi was
19:47
Speaker 2: one of my favorites in the beginning of Joey's season,
19:51
Speaker 2: and when I saw the cast pictures, I am gonna
19:57
Speaker 2: put it out there now. I have no idea if
20:00
Speaker 2: this will happen. I'm usually pretty bad at this, but
20:04
Speaker 2: I would ship Lexi and Sam M from jen Trans season.
20:10
Speaker 2: I just feel like they would look they just based
20:15
Speaker 2: on looks period. I think they're both gorgeous people and
20:20
Speaker 2: just based on looks. I don't know too much about
20:22
Speaker 2: them and their personalities, but I would say, just based
20:27
Speaker 2: on looks, I would ship Lexi and Sam and then Alex.
20:32
Speaker 2: We said it already Alex and Jonathan. Who else was
20:35
Speaker 2: I think? Who were Off the top of your head,
20:37
Speaker 2: who are you?
20:37
Speaker 1: Who are you shipping?
20:39
Speaker 3: Okay? Wow? Sam M? Are we talking about the same
20:42
Speaker 3: Sam M with the tattoo sleeves?
20:45
Speaker 1: I think so? But wait, tell me remind.
20:47
Speaker 3: Me of such a hot take Trista. He I was
20:53
Speaker 3: going to pick him for villain. I wasn't even going
20:57
Speaker 3: to give him a ship, but what physically very attractive objectively, however,
21:06
Speaker 3: his behavior on John's season, I'm not going to give
21:10
Speaker 3: him a ship.
21:11
Speaker 2: Okay, wait, will you remind me of his behavior? Tell
21:15
Speaker 2: me and the rest of the viewers if they can't
21:17
Speaker 2: remember like me because they don't have a brain like me.
21:20
Speaker 3: Okay, I need to actually look up his line.
21:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll say it. Okay, So Sam's tagline for this season.
21:28
Speaker 2: Sam's is I'm a Southern boy with a shy streak.
21:33
Speaker 2: So there's not much there. Like, that's pretty short. So
21:37
Speaker 2: tell me what he was known for. I'm sure I'll
21:40
Speaker 2: remember it once you say it. But I feel like
21:44
Speaker 2: at this point, I've been around for twenty three years.
21:49
Speaker 1: How many seasons?
21:51
Speaker 2: How many years have gone by since two thousand and two? Yeah,
21:54
Speaker 2: twenty three years.
21:56
Speaker 1: So it's been a while, and.
21:57
Speaker 2: There's so many people on this show. I just cannot
22:00
Speaker 2: keep them all straight. So please, Maddie, remind me of
22:04
Speaker 2: Sam and his wrongdoings on GEN season.
22:10
Speaker 3: Samm was just really known for being a little bit
22:13
Speaker 3: full of himself, so got it he I would say
22:17
Speaker 3: this was a tagline. His line from GEN season was
22:21
Speaker 3: keeping the main thing the main thing, and the main
22:24
Speaker 3: thing was himself. And then after GEN season ended, he
22:30
Speaker 3: announced that he was starting his own podcast.
22:34
Speaker 2: Oh interesting, Well, we don't need to get into that,
22:37
Speaker 2: but that is so he may be one of the
22:40
Speaker 2: ones that people say are not there for the right reasons.
22:44
Speaker 2: Is this what we're going, Is this what we're assuming, So.
22:48
Speaker 3: I think we might be able to assign him the
22:50
Speaker 3: villain role.
22:50
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Hey, don't be sorry. This is your opinion,
22:56
Speaker 1: and you never know.
22:57
Speaker 2: Like I feel like so many times on Paradise and
23:00
Speaker 2: even on Bachelor or Bachelorette, people become villains who I
23:06
Speaker 2: never would have guessed would have become a villain. And
23:08
Speaker 2: some people who I think are going to be villains villains,
23:11
Speaker 2: like get.
23:12
Speaker 1: That redemption story.
23:13
Speaker 2: So we never know, you know, we'll have to wait
23:16
Speaker 2: and see what actually happens. But I think that's interesting.
23:19
Speaker 2: Another thing is that Kat was a little bit of
23:23
Speaker 2: a villain last Bachelor in Paradise, So maybe we ship
23:26
Speaker 2: the villains together, you know what.
23:29
Speaker 3: I don't hate that. Let's see what happens there. I
23:32
Speaker 3: think they could hit it off. They have similar personalities.
23:36
Speaker 2: I got to.
23:37
Speaker 3: See Lexi though, actually go on a date with Dale.
23:41
Speaker 3: I think that. I don't know if you remember, but
23:43
Speaker 3: from Joey's season, Lexi is very ready to get her
23:47
Speaker 3: married life started. She's spoken openly about being scared of
23:53
Speaker 3: having reproductive about how she wants to try as soon
23:57
Speaker 3: as possible and be a young mom. I think that
23:59
Speaker 3: that could be a great pairing. They're not that far
24:02
Speaker 3: apart in age, and they seem like they could be
24:05
Speaker 3: on the same level of maturity in terms of actually
24:08
Speaker 3: beginning a serious relationship after Paradise.
24:12
Speaker 1: I love that ship. I actually have to say something
24:15
Speaker 1: really funny.
24:16
Speaker 2: So I was looking at I was looking for the
24:20
Speaker 2: trailer on our almost famous Instagram page, and I came
24:26
Speaker 2: across when the caster was revealed, and I looked at
24:29
Speaker 2: the comments, and someone put, honestly, I would like to
24:32
Speaker 2: ship anyone who was there for clout. We all missed
24:36
Speaker 2: the seasons past that had people there who genuinely wanted
24:39
Speaker 2: a connection. And someone said, I don't think shipping means
24:43
Speaker 2: what you think it means. So for all those people
24:48
Speaker 2: who are maybe listening, shipping means putting them together in
24:52
Speaker 2: a relationship in your in your like dreamland of who
24:56
Speaker 2: you want to have a relationship out of this show.
25:00
Speaker 3: Yes, thank you for clarifying, Yes, we're not shipping them
25:04
Speaker 3: off the beach.
25:06
Speaker 2: No, but that would actually be kind of funny to
25:09
Speaker 2: actually ship them and maybe put them and ship together
25:13
Speaker 2: and leave.
25:16
Speaker 3: There was a fan boat that you could sort of
25:23
Speaker 3: kick people off the beach. Oh every week.
25:28
Speaker 1: Oh that's a brilliant idea.
25:31
Speaker 2: Kind of like in Hunger Games when they send the
25:34
Speaker 2: like the drones or helicopters and.
25:37
Speaker 1: They drop like supplies.
25:39
Speaker 2: You could actually the opposite, like the fans could all
25:42
Speaker 2: chime in.
25:43
Speaker 1: And have someone like your time is up, so so sorry.
25:53
Speaker 1: That is hysterical.
25:54
Speaker 2: I love that that A Big Brother does that too,
25:57
Speaker 2: where they where they have the fans kind of chime
26:02
Speaker 2: in and like win different things along the season.
26:04
Speaker 1: They should do that.
26:05
Speaker 2: They should have like fan interaction, like not physically there
26:10
Speaker 2: because it tapes obviously, but they should do that somehow.
26:16
Speaker 2: I don't know how they could do that, but I
26:17
Speaker 2: would love to see a little fan interaction.
26:21
Speaker 1: Okay.
26:22
Speaker 2: So I'm also getting to the point. Oh Love Island
26:27
Speaker 2: does that with fan interaction.
26:29
Speaker 1: Oh, I love that. I think that's genius. Okay.
26:34
Speaker 2: So Dale said in a statement why he decided to
26:39
Speaker 2: go on Paradise, and I think it's interesting. He said,
26:41
Speaker 2: I wanted to give up control and just see what
26:44
Speaker 2: was out there. I'm really head down with travel and
26:49
Speaker 2: working projects and things like that, but I definitely realized
26:52
Speaker 2: that there's more out there. And sometimes you have to
26:55
Speaker 2: remove yourself from certain situations to get more clarity on that.
26:59
Speaker 2: So I'm interested to know what kind of clarity he
27:03
Speaker 2: wants and if he's truly looking for a relationship. And
27:15
Speaker 2: of course this is taken completely out of context, so
27:18
Speaker 2: I haven't read the entire interview and everything that he said,
27:23
Speaker 2: but I wonder if he spoke at man maybe, you know,
27:27
Speaker 2: if he spoke to actually wanting to walk away from
27:31
Speaker 2: Paradise with a relationship or he just wanted to see
27:35
Speaker 2: what was out there.
27:37
Speaker 3: I think he's keeping it intentionally vague. Ah. You know.
27:42
Speaker 3: His follow up was that he said, I think the
27:44
Speaker 3: biggest thing now is that I feel really clear about
27:47
Speaker 3: what I want. But he doesn't saying what he wants to. Uh,
27:51
Speaker 3: he's not letting us know what he wants. He might know,
27:53
Speaker 3: but we don't know. And he says, yeah, I'm not
27:56
Speaker 3: only going to take a different approach, and he thinks
27:58
Speaker 3: the framework and the setup of this show is a
28:01
Speaker 3: lot different.
28:02
Speaker 2: Very interesting, So I wonder, and that might be him
28:06
Speaker 2: leaving us hanging, or might be like the actual marketing
28:11
Speaker 2: team producers who are leaving us hanging because they want
28:15
Speaker 2: us all to tune in and find out what that
28:17
Speaker 2: actually means. Okay, who do you think other than Sam
28:34
Speaker 2: would be a likely villain? I feel like there are
28:38
Speaker 2: so many people on this show, like Justin and Hakim
28:42
Speaker 2: and Alex and Lexi that are definitely not going to
28:46
Speaker 2: be villains. In my mind, I can't see them being villains.
28:50
Speaker 2: But I feel like Zoe could possibly be possibly be
28:55
Speaker 2: a villain, or maybe she gets a redemption story.
28:58
Speaker 1: Who do you think?
28:59
Speaker 3: Oh, I feel like it's it's a tough call because
29:01
Speaker 3: I can totally see her being a villain unintentionally. I
29:04
Speaker 3: think that's her biggest step is that she just doesn't
29:08
Speaker 3: She didn't understand that when she was interrupting that it
29:10
Speaker 3: made the other women upset with her, and I feel
29:13
Speaker 3: like she could do that again and unintentionally become the
29:17
Speaker 3: seasoned villain. So we'll see if she's learning fro mistakes
29:21
Speaker 3: and if she's from any of the community communication that
29:25
Speaker 3: she had with the other women on Grant season. If
29:28
Speaker 3: she hasn't, then I think she could set herself up
29:30
Speaker 3: for a lot of conflict.
29:33
Speaker 1: You're so right.
29:34
Speaker 2: I feel like that's part of why it drives me crazy,
29:37
Speaker 2: because people either want to do that on their own
29:42
Speaker 2: and interrupt conversations, or they have producers who are saying
29:46
Speaker 2: like you should go interrupt that conversation and either say
29:51
Speaker 2: no or to the producers who's asking you to do that,
29:55
Speaker 2: or have the wherewithal to know that that can be
29:59
Speaker 2: taken as really rude, especially if you do it multiple
30:03
Speaker 2: times and you've had time with him already, which I
30:08
Speaker 2: know happened with her and Grant, she already had like
30:12
Speaker 2: one on one time on at least one date and
30:15
Speaker 2: then interrupted again. So I just feel like there's just
30:21
Speaker 2: a part of all of this that you know, treat
30:23
Speaker 2: others how you want to be treated in life in general,
30:27
Speaker 2: in the Bachelor, in Bachelor in Paradise. Okay, who do
30:34
Speaker 2: you think is going to be the crier of the
30:37
Speaker 2: season out of this first batch at least?
30:40
Speaker 3: Hmmm? I think just from Joey's season, her tagline is
30:47
Speaker 3: I don't kiss a smoochy pooh ah oh.
30:54
Speaker 2: No, remind me how that came up, Like I remember
30:58
Speaker 2: her saying smoochy pooh, but remind me if you remember.
31:04
Speaker 3: I remember it a little bit of context. It was
31:07
Speaker 3: as big as she maybe thought it was to make
31:10
Speaker 3: it a whole tagline. I remember asking for a smoochie poo,
31:14
Speaker 3: but it wasn't like her thing Like, she didn't intro
31:16
Speaker 3: herself to Joey saying can I have a smooth chiepo
31:22
Speaker 3: That would be weird. No. I give her a being
31:26
Speaker 3: on that tagline though, for trying and for trying to
31:29
Speaker 3: be unique. Again. I don't know if this was production
31:31
Speaker 3: or if this was her, but it gets a bag.
31:34
Speaker 1: I'm sure.
31:35
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure it was production who set those taglines.
31:38
Speaker 2: They might have talked to them about it, but I'm
31:41
Speaker 2: pretty sure that that production was like, Okay, this is
31:43
Speaker 2: what you're gonna say.
31:46
Speaker 3: He was a big She was a big crier, I
31:49
Speaker 3: have to say, And I think it was hard because,
31:53
Speaker 3: you know, she had a big conflict with Maria and
31:56
Speaker 3: Joey's season and they really went at it. And in
31:59
Speaker 3: some case I think that her edit portrayed her as
32:02
Speaker 3: a villain when she maybe was not necessarily the instigator
32:08
Speaker 3: and she was trying to resolve it. I really thought
32:10
Speaker 3: she redeemed herself at the Women Tell All. Actually, so
32:15
Speaker 3: hopefully she doesn't cry on Paradise, but if she does,
32:20
Speaker 3: it's a guy.
32:21
Speaker 1: Hey.
32:22
Speaker 2: You know what, there's worse things I mean, look at Ashley.
32:25
Speaker 2: She was the biggest crier of bachelor in Paradise history,
32:28
Speaker 2: and now she's happily married with two beautiful boys. So
32:32
Speaker 2: you know, there are worse things than a crier on
32:35
Speaker 2: the beaches of Paradise.
32:37
Speaker 3: So true, and I would love to see Jess get
32:40
Speaker 3: together I think with Hm looking through our list, Spencer
32:48
Speaker 3: or maybe even Jonathan.
32:51
Speaker 2: Ooh, that's a good one. I like that one. We
32:55
Speaker 2: also did not mention.
32:59
Speaker 1: Let's see where is it. I just saw this tagline.
33:02
Speaker 2: Kyle, you may not remember me, but after this, you'll
33:06
Speaker 2: never forget me. I'm like, that's actually really cute because.
33:11
Speaker 3: He's playing into being sent home week two. I love
33:15
Speaker 3: it totally.
33:17
Speaker 1: I love that.
33:18
Speaker 2: So we'll see if he actually is someone who will
33:23
Speaker 2: be memorable and is able to, you know, forge a
33:25
Speaker 2: relationship on the beaches of Paradise.
33:28
Speaker 3: Trista is there? Since they haven't announced the Goldens cast,
33:32
Speaker 3: is there any yes I want to see on the beach?
33:35
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I love my Goldens. I just love
33:38
Speaker 2: my Goldens and I'm sad that they didn't announce it yet,
33:41
Speaker 2: but obviously it's coming because there have been you know,
33:46
Speaker 2: there's been talk about it, and obviously they announced a
33:50
Speaker 2: few people who were coming, or maybe it was just
33:52
Speaker 2: Leslie and.
33:54
Speaker 1: Gary.
33:54
Speaker 3: I think it's just lostly. Gary confirmed her right now, Okay,
33:58
Speaker 3: got it.
33:59
Speaker 2: I Jonathan Rome, so I'm hoping to see him. I
34:03
Speaker 2: think he's perfect for Paradise. He is the kindest man.
34:08
Speaker 2: Bob and I had the pleasure of interviewing him on
34:11
Speaker 2: the podcast, and oh, I just love Jonathan, so I'd
34:15
Speaker 2: love to see him. Nancy is one of my favorites
34:18
Speaker 2: from Golden Bachelor. I would love to see Nancy. And then,
34:23
Speaker 2: of course I'm pretty positive ninety nine percent sure that
34:27
Speaker 2: Kathy will be there because she can't not be there.
34:32
Speaker 2: You know, Kathy is good television. She's great television. I
34:36
Speaker 2: know she's amazing. So I think Kathy and Nancy would
34:39
Speaker 2: be great to see them.
34:43
Speaker 1: And oh gosh, he's one more.
34:47
Speaker 2: I feel like, not unfortunately for them, but Kelsey's dad
34:52
Speaker 2: like would have loved to see him, but I believe
34:53
Speaker 2: he's in a relationship, so I'm pretty sure that he
34:57
Speaker 2: will not be on the beaches of Paradise.
35:00
Speaker 1: Would have loved to see him.
35:00
Speaker 2: So yes, I feel like, just in general, I love
35:05
Speaker 2: that Paradise is still going strong because there are so
35:11
Speaker 2: many amazing relationships to come out of this show, and
35:15
Speaker 2: I love the entertainment of it all. I love throwing
35:17
Speaker 2: them all on a beach. I love that Hannah Brown's
35:19
Speaker 2: there this season with Wells and Jesse of course, and
35:26
Speaker 2: I'm really excited to first tune in. It's going to
35:29
Speaker 2: be premiering on ABC on Monday, July seventh at eight
35:34
Speaker 2: pm Central, so you guys can all tune in and
35:36
Speaker 2: of course come back to Almost Famous. We will definitely
