- 0:05Speaker 2: Hey, guys, welcome to a breaking news episode of the
- 0:09Speaker 2: Almost Famous podcast today. I am joined, of course, by
- 0:12Speaker 2: my lovely, beautiful, intelligent co host.
- 0:15Speaker 3: Ben Hagen's gracious.
- 0:17Speaker 2: And like the Andy Cohen of the Bachelor franchise, specifically
- 0:21Speaker 2: on TikTok, his name is Zachary Reality. We're so happy
- 0:24Speaker 2: to have him.
- 0:26Speaker 4: So happy to be here, especially like after such a
- 0:29Speaker 4: crazy year of Bachelor Nation. So it's a good time
- 0:33Speaker 4: to come on with the end of the year. So
- 0:34Speaker 4: Happy New Year, guys, Almost.
- 0:36Speaker 2: Happy Almost New Year. Well, so Friday afternoon, Jill and
- 0:40Speaker 2: I are here. We're looking at all the instagrams of
- 0:43Speaker 2: the quote happy couples and we're like, why are none
- 0:48Speaker 2: of these people hosting pictures of each other? There are
- 0:50Speaker 2: no Instagram hard launches, and to this time we still
- 0:55Speaker 2: don't have some you know.
- 0:57Speaker 3: True.
- 0:58Speaker 2: Yeah, So, first off, Aaron and Eliza have not to
- 1:03Speaker 2: be heard from at all on Instagram.
- 1:05Speaker 3: What about Kat and John Henry.
- 1:08Speaker 4: She posted a story that they were going to move
- 1:11Speaker 4: to San Diego together, or that's what it said in
- 1:13Speaker 4: the credits. Yeah, they posted that they were like still together,
- 1:17Speaker 4: and then he reposted her story but nothing else but.
- 1:20Speaker 2: Just stories, and Jill and I thought that was a
- 1:22Speaker 2: little weird. Then we were like trying to explain it,
- 1:26Speaker 2: saying like, possibly the show may have like not wanted
- 1:29Speaker 2: spoilers to the people who were watching on Hulu. Maybe
- 1:31Speaker 2: they gave him a little bit of like a twenty
- 1:33Speaker 2: four hour hold. But then I'm at a Jonas Parler
- 1:36Speaker 2: concert and all of a sudden Ben texts me, and
- 1:40Speaker 2: he goes Kylie and Avan they just posted that they
- 1:44Speaker 2: what they broke up or that he cheated, and I
- 1:47Speaker 2: was like, well, wait a second. And then you were like,
- 1:49Speaker 2: but he posted yesterday that they were together. And I'm like,
- 1:53Speaker 2: I was literally on their Instagram, like not even twenty.
- 1:56Speaker 3: Four hours ago.
- 1:56Speaker 2: How they posted that they were together in this amount
- 2:00Speaker 2: of time, in this twenty four hour spand you're telling
- 2:02Speaker 2: me they went from nothing which was weird, to actually
- 2:05Speaker 2: posting something to then posting a breakup announcement. How did
- 2:09Speaker 2: that all happen so fast? Like this is where we
- 2:13Speaker 2: have to pour in, Zach, Why don't we.
- 2:16Speaker 3: Actually hasn't Ashley hasn't breathed yet, She's just good.
- 2:20Speaker 2: I like, so weird it out about what possibly happened. So, Zach,
- 2:24Speaker 2: why don't you'll break it down for us a little
- 2:26Speaker 2: bit and then we'll do the speculation.
- 2:29Speaker 4: So she posted a couple photos of him throughout the season,
- 2:33Speaker 4: just of like what was on the show, so just
- 2:35Speaker 4: kind of like promoting the show whatever. So he was
- 2:37Speaker 4: already on her grid, but he never posted her to
- 2:40Speaker 4: begin with. The day after the show, we all see
- 2:44Speaker 4: what happens. They leave together as boyfriend and girlfriends because
- 2:47Speaker 4: she wanted to get engaged and Avan did not, and
- 2:50Speaker 4: we can get into that too. But then the day
- 2:53Speaker 4: after the show, they post a picture together, very high quality.
- 2:56Speaker 4: They probably hired a photographer. I thought it was a
- 2:59Speaker 4: movin post because it looked like it was in an
- 3:02Speaker 4: apartment that they moved in together on Instagram.
- 3:04Speaker 2: But there's no confirmation of this. Is this speculation, Yeah, okay.
- 3:09Speaker 4: So that's what it assumes. I mean, the caption was
- 3:11Speaker 4: like we you know, when something's worth fighting for.
- 3:14Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 3:15Speaker 4: So then the next day or like hours later, she
- 3:19Speaker 4: posts a story. I don't know if you want to
- 3:21Speaker 4: like read it word for word, but basically saying that
- 3:24Speaker 4: there was multiple infidelities and that things have come to
- 3:27Speaker 4: the light. So then she untags herself and deletes all
- 3:31Speaker 4: those posts, so there was three of him on her page,
- 3:34Speaker 4: and then unfollows him. She has the story up, and
- 3:38Speaker 4: then the next morning he posts that he confirmed he
- 3:42Speaker 4: did cheat on her. He's working on himself. He apologizes,
- 3:47Speaker 4: and then he deletes the posts from his page, but
- 3:49Speaker 4: he still follows her.
- 3:51Speaker 3: You know, I get all of my information, so Ashley
- 3:53Speaker 3: mentioned that the texted her. I get all of my
- 3:55Speaker 3: information from you. I love it. So I just want
- 3:58Speaker 3: to tell everybody out there, you know, as we continue
- 4:00Speaker 3: this conversation, if you want to stay up to date
- 4:03Speaker 3: with reality television, right, I mean in general Bachelor and
- 4:06Speaker 3: Bachelor I kind of get focused on while the seasons
- 4:08Speaker 3: are airing. But then you also, you do have a
- 4:11Speaker 3: lot of good breaking news, and you do a great
- 4:13Speaker 3: job at not spreading rumors that are not you know,
- 4:19Speaker 3: verified and validated. Yet I think it's a really hard
- 4:22Speaker 3: thing to do because well, bacheloration does weird stuff all
- 4:25Speaker 3: the time. Okay, So two thoughts on what what you
- 4:28Speaker 3: were saying. If you would have given me like odds
- 4:32Speaker 3: on which couple I put money on working after this,
- 4:35Speaker 3: quite honestly, I don't know if any of them, I
- 4:37Speaker 3: don't know if there's only zero of them, zero of them.
- 4:39Speaker 3: But if you would have told me that Kat and
- 4:41Speaker 3: John Henry had the best shot, that would have been
- 4:44Speaker 3: the wildest thing I've ever heard that. I mean, at
- 4:47Speaker 3: least even and Kylie weren't shown on the show, which
- 4:51Speaker 3: typically on Bachelor in Paradise means that they're doing our right. So,
- 4:55Speaker 3: you know, let's kind of transition here because we've talked
- 4:58Speaker 3: about what's happened. They've broke up within a day of
- 5:00Speaker 3: this announcement going on, there's infidelities. Is there anything else
- 5:03Speaker 3: out there that we know on what happened here? Like
- 5:08Speaker 3: how did she find out? When did she find out?
- 5:11Speaker 3: Did she find out before the show was over? Maybe
- 5:13Speaker 3: the show said, hey, don't say anything about it yet.
- 5:15Speaker 4: No, no, no, she said, twenty four hours.
- 5:19Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why it's a shocking thing. Twenty four hours.
- 5:22Speaker 2: Why what I'm assuming is that girls once she hard
- 5:26Speaker 2: launched the Instagram and said like a confirm that they
- 5:29Speaker 2: were still together despite what they said at the end
- 5:32Speaker 2: of the episode, Because the end of the episode does
- 5:34Speaker 2: seem like one I think the show ABC is going
- 5:37Speaker 2: to be a little bit positive about where the couples are,
- 5:41Speaker 2: especially after you watched that final episode. And I also
- 5:45Speaker 2: think that like it maybe even be a little bit
- 5:48Speaker 2: outdated the information on there. So once they hard launched
- 5:52Speaker 2: that they were in fact still together, you think that
- 5:56Speaker 2: certain girls flooded her Instagram box saying that like we
- 5:59Speaker 2: saw him cheating on you, or like I was the
- 6:01Speaker 2: one he cheated on you with.
- 6:03Speaker 4: That's the only possibility that she got a bunch of
- 6:06Speaker 4: dms with photoproof. I mean for her to post that
- 6:08Speaker 4: so quickly, like she believed it immediately, and how hard
- 6:12Speaker 4: is it to cheat when you're on a show, so
- 6:13Speaker 4: you have to be low key anyway. He lives in
- 6:16Speaker 4: San Diego and she's in North Carolina, so it's not
- 6:18Speaker 4: like he couldn't get away with it for this long.
- 6:21Speaker 4: They're not allowed to post together anyway, and I think
- 6:23Speaker 4: she was like, all right, I'm your girl, post me
- 6:25Speaker 4: on your Instagram. And maybe he didn't want to do
- 6:27Speaker 4: the post to begin with, kind of like how he
- 6:29Speaker 4: didn't want to get engaged and she did, and that
- 6:32Speaker 4: he was exposed within twenty four hours, so she had
- 6:35Speaker 4: no choice but to break up with him.
- 6:37Speaker 2: It's shocking that throughout the entire season. He never posted
- 6:40Speaker 2: one promo shot of the two of them together. That
- 6:43Speaker 2: says a lot in hindsight.
- 6:44Speaker 5: It says everything.
- 6:56Speaker 3: It's an really interesting dynamic because you know, we can
- 6:59Speaker 3: go in here and I don't know even personally, and
- 7:01Speaker 3: I don't know Kylie at all. In fact, I didn't
- 7:03Speaker 3: even know who she was, and she came on the season.
- 7:04Speaker 3: At least I knew him because he was, you know,
- 7:06Speaker 3: late into the season, he was on Rachel Rachel's season,
- 7:12Speaker 3: thank you. But like there's some there's just bad behavior
- 7:17Speaker 3: obviously happening, because now he's owned up to it, Like
- 7:20Speaker 3: this isn't an assumption or a guest that you know
- 7:24Speaker 3: he was cheating. No, he's owned up to it. She
- 7:26Speaker 3: was very clear. I read her post. I was like
- 7:28Speaker 3: that she went at him like she's pissed, she's mad,
- 7:32Speaker 3: she's her Bachelor Data And I want to hear your
- 7:35Speaker 3: two thoughts on this, because I don't understand the world
- 7:38Speaker 3: very much anymore, especially people's reactions to stuff. Bachelor Data
- 7:43Speaker 3: came out yesterday and said that on her post, she
- 7:46Speaker 3: had a lot of comments that were kind of hating
- 7:48Speaker 3: on Kylie, being very mean to Kylie in this process.
- 7:52Speaker 3: Once Bachelor Data posted about the infidelities, why like, can
- 7:57Speaker 3: you guys explain to me why Kylie was now the
- 8:00Speaker 3: one getting hated on for it. Well, I'll say this.
- 8:02Speaker 2: On my episode with Jill on Friday, I said that
- 8:05Speaker 2: that episode made me like just kind of like, ough, Kylie,
- 8:09Speaker 2: what the hell I look with the whole engagement Like literally,
- 8:13Speaker 2: it seemed like all she cared about was engagement. But
- 8:17Speaker 2: now my whole perspective is well sort of change what
- 8:21Speaker 2: I think. She was too obsessed with the thought of it,
- 8:24Speaker 2: but now that I see that she has been cheated on,
- 8:26Speaker 2: I'm just like think, God, you didn't get engaged. Could
- 8:32Speaker 2: you imagine having wasted that moment on a man like this?
- 8:35Speaker 3: Oh?
- 8:35Speaker 4: I never understood why people get engaged on the show.
- 8:38Speaker 4: I still can't fathom it after only being together for
- 8:41Speaker 4: that many weeks. Like I literally do not think I
- 8:43Speaker 4: could do it. So I always get really surprised.
- 8:45Speaker 2: There's just not enough pressure to get engaged on Paradise.
- 8:49Speaker 2: I mean, you can so easily leave Paradise not engaged
- 8:53Speaker 2: and last, So That's why I'm like you, I understand
- 8:56Speaker 2: the pressure that comes from the main show, and you're
- 8:58Speaker 2: gonna get a lot of pressure from Bachelor Paradise too,
- 9:00Speaker 2: but in Paradise you can finangle it to.
- 9:03Speaker 3: Not Okay, can we go back to my question. We've
- 9:07Speaker 3: got off this. So I think what Ashley was saying
- 9:14Speaker 3: there was that maybe people were hating on Kylie because
- 9:16Speaker 3: the only perspective of Kylie they have is maybe from
- 9:19Speaker 3: the show, and that she was a little pushy and maybe,
- 9:21Speaker 3: you know, some people found her annoying. Yeah, so people
- 9:25Speaker 3: are like, I don't like Kylie anyways, like you know whatever. Still,
- 9:29Speaker 3: that's why I get confused. But that's where I get
- 9:31Speaker 3: confused with people's response to things like this, And I
- 9:35Speaker 3: need Zachary now to tell me, like, have you seen
- 9:37Speaker 3: these comments that are mean? Why are people being mean
- 9:40Speaker 3: to Kylie? Is there a second story here that I'm missing?
- 9:43Speaker 6: See?
- 9:43Speaker 5: It feels like a lot of people are now starting
- 9:45Speaker 5: to support her.
- 9:46Speaker 4: I think people were mean to her during the season
- 9:47Speaker 4: a little bit because it felt like she was pushy
- 9:49Speaker 4: with Avan and like wanted more than she was getting.
- 9:52Speaker 4: And then the whole Blake thing at the end was
- 9:54Speaker 4: really strange. So maybe there were some red flags that
- 9:56Speaker 4: she ignored. So that's why people are possibly coming for her,
- 10:00Speaker 4: But I think you have to like rally for Kylie
- 10:02Speaker 4: because she was the one that was cheated on, Like
- 10:04Speaker 4: she posted that picture with him so excited to finally
- 10:06Speaker 4: show it off. Like you guys know how exciting it
- 10:09Speaker 4: is after the show to finally post your relationship. So
- 10:12Speaker 4: you can only imagine how like embarrassed and devastated she
- 10:14Speaker 4: feels to have to take that down within twenty four
- 10:17Speaker 4: hours after thinking that for three five months that she
- 10:21Speaker 4: was going to post with this man and this was
- 10:22Speaker 4: going to be this whole thing.
- 10:24Speaker 3: I would be going scorched earth if I was hurt,
- 10:26Speaker 3: Like I would be just absolutely throwing darts right now,
- 10:30Speaker 3: And she kind of did. I mean, her post was
- 10:33Speaker 3: as direct of a breakup post as I've ever seen,
- 10:36Speaker 3: Like she was like, no, screw that. Twenty four hours later,
- 10:39Speaker 3: he's cheated on me. Please respect my time in privacy
- 10:42Speaker 3: because honestly, I'm boiling over and I get it, Like,
- 10:47Speaker 3: I just didn't understand why people were at not supporting
- 10:50Speaker 3: her a one hundred percent. What Zachary is saying is
- 10:52Speaker 3: maybe during the show they weren't, but then like twenty
- 10:54Speaker 3: four hours later, once this came out and the dust settled.
- 10:56Speaker 3: Then everybody's kind of back on like, hey, she was
- 10:58Speaker 3: cheated on, Like we got a rally that makes sense
- 11:01Speaker 3: to me.
- 11:01Speaker 2: Now let's talk about how absolutely crazy Even has to
- 11:05Speaker 2: be to cheat on somebody in the midst of having
- 11:09Speaker 2: a televised relationship with them in which it ends with
- 11:13Speaker 2: them leaving together.
- 11:17Speaker 4: What I feel like we have to read his statement
- 11:20Speaker 4: before like discussing it, because okay, read this saves a
- 11:23Speaker 4: lot to unpack with it.
- 11:25Speaker 5: Let me get it up.
- 11:27Speaker 3: As Zach pulls us up, I have a general question
- 11:29Speaker 3: for you, Ashley and Zach as he's kind of pulling
- 11:31Speaker 3: up the statement. Have we ever had a scenario in
- 11:34Speaker 3: Bachelor Nation like this, like a cheating scandal I mean
- 11:38Speaker 3: a cheating scandal while the season's airing, you know, and
- 11:42Speaker 3: after the season's done, and they're like, yeah, he was
- 11:44Speaker 3: cheating on me, Like I'm sure we have.
- 11:46Speaker 4: But you know, what's interesting as people are saying that
- 11:49Speaker 4: the same thing happened with Brandon and Serene but they
- 11:51Speaker 4: actually got engaged, but apparently he cheated on her. And
- 11:55Speaker 4: what's interesting is that Brandon and Even have the same
- 11:58Speaker 4: last name, and Serene and Kylie have the same last
- 12:00Speaker 4: name too. Whoaas Brandon Jones, Avan Jones, Kylie Russell, Serene Russell.
- 12:09Speaker 2: That is but Nanas, now, wait when he did when
- 12:15Speaker 2: Brandon cheated though, that was far into their relationship, right
- 12:20Speaker 2: and but I mean not that that excuses anything. It's
- 12:22Speaker 2: just like wild that like while they're still front and
- 12:25Speaker 2: center and people are still waiting to find out like
- 12:28Speaker 2: if the end and engagement or whatnot.
- 12:30Speaker 3: Oh yeah, there's out there.
- 12:31Speaker 4: There's no excuse for why he cheated.
- 12:33Speaker 3: He says, there's never an excuse. Really. Yeah.
- 12:36Speaker 4: So, after a careful thought and consideration into writing this,
- 12:38Speaker 4: I want to first and foremost apologize to Kylie, my family,
- 12:41Speaker 4: and my friends for my actions. I have made major
- 12:44Speaker 4: mistakes in the relationship and hurt someone who was very
- 12:46Speaker 4: close to me at this time. I am extremely I
- 12:49Speaker 4: am an extremely low place, trying to work on myself.
- 12:51Speaker 4: I am doing my best to find healing and be
- 12:53Speaker 4: a better person. Please have grace and respect for Kylie
- 12:56Speaker 4: and her family through this difficult time.
- 12:58Speaker 5: Thank you.
- 12:59Speaker 3: Again. I don't know even I don't know Kylie. There
- 13:01Speaker 3: is not like a character judgment that I can fully
- 13:04Speaker 3: make and get behind right now because I just don't
- 13:06Speaker 3: know them, and so I can't say, yeah, we saw
- 13:07Speaker 3: this coming or we didn't. It's a terrible decision no
- 13:10Speaker 3: matter what. And he's owning it, right, it's a terrible decision.
- 13:12Speaker 3: It's not okay, rally behind. I just feel like the
- 13:15Speaker 3: line there, please have grace for Kylie and her family
- 13:18Speaker 3: or friends at this time, like I think it should be,
- 13:21Speaker 3: please have grace for me, Like what's Kylie getting grace for?
- 13:25Speaker 3: Like maybe support like support, but like grace and support
- 13:29Speaker 3: aren't the same thing, like graces like unconditional forgiveness, and
- 13:34Speaker 3: I don't know she needs forgiveness right now. Yeah, that's
- 13:37Speaker 3: actually very strange, is that it is not anyway, Maybe
- 13:40Speaker 3: just a weird word choice after days of thinking about
- 13:42Speaker 3: the post, but no matter what, Let's go back then
- 13:46Speaker 3: to he's owning this. This is this is a thing
- 13:50Speaker 3: not being denied. But at this point all we have
- 13:53Speaker 3: are these two like posts, right, we don't have any
- 13:56Speaker 3: other information coming out. There's no other interviews and there's
- 13:59Speaker 3: no pictures leaked anything like that. Ryzach no Zachary.
- 14:02Speaker 5: So at least he owned it.
- 14:03Speaker 4: I think that's where we can at least give him credit,
- 14:05Speaker 4: Like he literally said he confirmed it.
- 14:08Speaker 5: Immediately. I think.
- 14:09Speaker 4: I feel like so many guys would lie about it
- 14:11Speaker 4: or wait days or try and twist the narrative.
- 14:14Speaker 5: So I can at least respect that.
- 14:16Speaker 4: And now it's like nipped in the butt, like she
- 14:19Speaker 4: found out she was cheated on. He owns it, he
- 14:21Speaker 4: says he's sorry, he's gonna work on himself. So there's
- 14:24Speaker 4: no more speculation because they both were so straightforward, like
- 14:26Speaker 4: you were saying about Kylie's post, like they're both really
- 14:28Speaker 4: straightforward in their stories. We know exactly where they stand.
- 14:42Speaker 2: All right, Well, I guess we're just gonna have to
- 14:44Speaker 2: wait in here. Just want to let everybody know we
- 14:46Speaker 2: did reach out to Kylie and Avin.
- 14:47Speaker 3: Of course they we did not hear back.
- 14:52Speaker 2: But you know, if I were her, I'd be like, yeah,
- 14:54Speaker 2: I'm gonna do every.
- 14:55Speaker 3: Podcast at some point. I bet she does. I mean,
- 14:59Speaker 3: you know, we've had in the past two where relationships
- 15:01Speaker 3: have gone sour and then you know, months later they
- 15:04Speaker 3: come on and they're like, no, that that was a
- 15:05Speaker 3: terrible situation for me. And I want to tell my
- 15:08Speaker 3: story because I've held it in and it doesn't do
- 15:11Speaker 3: you know, et cetera, et cetera. But this is one
- 15:14Speaker 3: of the well the wildest scenarios that I've experienced with enbachchlination,
- 15:20Speaker 3: only because I'm typically not up to date on the headlines.
- 15:24Speaker 3: Like I get the headlines when we sit down for
- 15:25Speaker 3: the podcast and i read through the notes, maybe the
- 15:27Speaker 3: night before, and I'm like, Oh, they're having a baby,
- 15:29Speaker 3: or they got married, or that's happening, or I do
- 15:32Speaker 3: follow Zachary reality, which has been a big benefit to
- 15:35Speaker 3: now on my job, but also just to me keeping
- 15:37Speaker 3: up with my friends. You do a great job. I
- 15:39Speaker 3: recommend following you. It's like maybe the only I don't
- 15:44Speaker 3: know what you call it, like reality journalist that I
- 15:47Speaker 3: followed consistently. And then I always watch your stories because
- 15:50Speaker 3: it's always interesting to me. But like I watched it,
- 15:54Speaker 3: I texted the thread. We have an almost famous thread
- 15:57Speaker 3: with a few people in it. I was so excited Zachary.
- 15:59Speaker 3: I had the dats before everybody else, so I was like,
- 16:02Speaker 3: they are moving in together. They're very happy.
- 16:04Speaker 7: Then the next day I was like, this event, Yeah,
- 16:08Speaker 7: it was a real turn of events and post any
- 16:12Speaker 7: I was almost was going to post about it when
- 16:14Speaker 7: Kylie posted, I was going to like, wait a second,
- 16:16Speaker 7: So thank god I did because I didn't know, Like I.
- 16:19Speaker 5: Actually like didn't believe it at first.
- 16:21Speaker 4: I was like, wait what It was just really shocking
- 16:23Speaker 4: how it all happened so quick.
- 16:25Speaker 2: So do you immediately reach out to people and see
- 16:27Speaker 2: if you get some inside sources?

- 16:35Speaker 4: what is the news, and recap the shows. I'm not
- 16:37Speaker 4: into the inside stories.

- 16:41Speaker 3: you from here on out? When we have breaking news,
- 16:45Speaker 3: can you just come on and talk with us about it?
- 16:47Speaker 3: Because so often Ashley myself are sitting here and Ashley know,
- 16:52Speaker 3: you know, knows a lot more than I do about
- 16:54Speaker 3: these things. It's great to have your insight, and it's
- 16:57Speaker 3: great to have you there to give a any type
- 17:01Speaker 3: of kind of like answers to nuance that typically exist
- 17:04Speaker 3: in these situations. So please come back more often now.
- 17:08Speaker 3: I'd like that. I love a third perspective.
- 17:11Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm so down to come back.
- 17:13Speaker 4: You guys know I've been watching the show for Blake
- 17:15Speaker 4: fifteen years, like for a really long time.
- 17:18Speaker 3: Yeah, a long time.
- 17:20Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks, Zach. I know we'll have more information unfolding
- 17:23Speaker 2: about this story very soon and stay tuned, guys.
- 17:28Speaker 3: Yeah, it's unfortunate.
- 17:29Speaker 2: It's a really unfortunate We're like, we're like, I'm like rabid,
- 17:32Speaker 2: like gossip like animals right now.
- 17:34Speaker 3: But it's like, really sad. It is very unfortunate, that's
- 17:37Speaker 3: the thing. But there's still you know, I think it's
- 17:40Speaker 3: this is the weirdest scenario to close us up. This
- 17:43Speaker 3: is the weirdest scenario I've been a part of, because
- 17:45Speaker 3: we know what happened, Like we're not guessing, We're not
- 17:47Speaker 3: being like I wonder if or I wonder. It's like, no,
- 17:50Speaker 3: we know exactly what happened. They've both announced it really terribly.
- 17:55Speaker 3: They both owned it within twenty four hours, and now
- 17:58Speaker 3: we're here to be like that was a wild change
- 18:00Speaker 3: of events. Now, in any other Bachelor in Paradise season,
- 18:05Speaker 3: I think people are a lot more upset. It just
- 18:08Speaker 3: feels like this season, people like, well, this is the
- 18:09Speaker 3: one couple we thought could work, so screw this.
- 18:12Speaker 2: Like and leaving and like leaving that thought. Do we
- 18:16Speaker 2: think that Avan was really into her now like in hindsight.
- 18:20Speaker 5: I mean probably not.
- 18:22Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna be not enough.
- 18:24Speaker 2: He never really seemed happy. Now that I'm thinking about
- 18:27Speaker 2: all those scenes and them together.
- 18:29Speaker 5: Yeah, I was thinking that too.
- 18:30Speaker 3: I was never smiled.
- 18:32Speaker 4: Yeah, it didn't seem like he really, but then he
- 18:35Speaker 4: was fighting for it at the end.
- 18:37Speaker 5: Avan's kind of confusing.
- 18:38Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's he's been confusing since the beginning.
- 18:41Speaker 2: Yeah, we have to hear Rachel's perspective on this because.
- 18:45Speaker 3: We know what happened now on after the final rows,
- 18:47Speaker 3: Like you know, Rachel was like shocked and surprised that
- 18:50Speaker 3: he showed up, and then she's like I gotta say yes,
- 18:52Speaker 3: right because this is awkward if I don't, and then
- 18:54Speaker 3: it's just a really weird situation. They walk off stage
- 18:57Speaker 3: and they're like, we haven't talked to each other since, like, yeah,
- 18:59Speaker 3: we're bounced, like they He's just he is. He's been
- 19:03Speaker 3: a confusing character and that's probably why they shouldn't choose
- 19:07Speaker 3: him as a bachelor. He was like a very clear
- 19:08Speaker 3: choice to be the Bachelor, and the show never really
- 19:12Speaker 3: even hinted at it, probably because they're like, I don't
- 19:14Speaker 3: know if this lo's ready.
- 19:15Speaker 6: Yeah for them to pick Zach over him, but I
- 19:18Speaker 6: don't think Avan was like very open on camera, Like
- 19:21Speaker 6: I think he's feel shy and like people who are
- 19:23Speaker 6: saying that his journey was like the same to Bachelorette,
- 19:26Speaker 6: where he got all the way to the end with
- 19:27Speaker 6: Rachel they were the final two and then he didn't
- 19:30Speaker 6: propose to her, and kind of like the same thing
- 19:32Speaker 6: with Kylie because that's why she brought it up during
- 19:34Speaker 6: their breakup too.
- 19:35Speaker 5: It was kind of similar.
- 19:37Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like he's not there yet or this is
- 19:40Speaker 3: I don't know, it's very weird. Anyways, zachar Reality go
