  Speaker 2: But yeah, that had to be such a I mean,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: getting ready in that moment, and I mean, uh, you know,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: for for everything knowing, I mean this was you Were
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: you already doing Dancing with the Stars at that point
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: or were you already starting to prepare for Dancing with
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: the Stars at that point?
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: Uh? No, we we had actually so that was during
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: the summer, so we had been engaged for quite some
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: time at that point. Dancing with the Stars. I think
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: we started in we started practicing early March, and then
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: the show wrapped in May. So this was a couple
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: of months after that had wrapped.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Oh wow, so you guys made it through the whole
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Dancing with the Stars thing and everything.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, dance with me on the finale, which was
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: really cool.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Oh that is cool.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: That's awesome.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, nice thinking about that.
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: Since you guys were in a relationship, then do you
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: feel like Dancing with the Stars played a role at
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: all in.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: The breakup?
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, we talked about that on the show. It's
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: got to be tough.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: It's so hard. I mean, I can I can speak
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: to my experience, but what was your experience.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: Like, probably, you know, just experience wise, you know, outcome,
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: you had a really great outcome, but probably similar. You know,
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: you go through this really crazy condensed experience where you
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: meet somebody and I would say, you get out on
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: the other side of the bachelor or bachelorette and you know,
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: probably sixty five seventy percent of somebody, and then there's
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: that thirty you haven't had time, you know, when that
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: kind of catches up, life sets in and you know,
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: relationships are just hard. Oh well, and.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Also the Dancing with the Stars.
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: That's sorry, I should have been more specific, but the
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: Dancing with the Stars experience. How is that for you know,
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: you're newly engaged, Like you said, you only know you know,
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: you only know a little bit of someone in that
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: short condensed frame of you know time, and then you
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: go on a dancing show with somebody who is gorgeous
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: and like all over you and like you're having to
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: like dance these like seductive moves with someone. It was
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: very uncomfortable for Ryan, Like, you know, we had been
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: married for I think two years at that point, but
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: it was still.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Like who is this guy? And You're like, these movements
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: are not something that I'm comfortable with.
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: So yeah, do you feel like that is the part
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: that played a role in you.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Guys breaking up? Or was it?
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: Like, I know, my season we didn't have as many practices,
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: but I feel like I'm dancing with the Stars, You're
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: just gone all the time.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: So you come off.
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: Of the Bachelor and you want to be able to
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: spend time with your like chosen person. It's really hard
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: to do that because you you know, if you're committed
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: to Dancing with the Stars, then you're you're dancing a lot.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: We were dancing probably between eight and ten hours a day.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: And then so immersed in it. You know, when you're
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: when you're you're engaging your brain to that level, trying
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: to learn something that you're not naturally good at, you know,
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: and you don't want to look stupid in front of
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: twenty two million people. Yeah, exactly, yet pat it off.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Although to be fair, Jake, I mean I've made a
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: living on a looking really stupid in front of me.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: I gave it, you know, Trista, I'm sure, and I
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: I remember it was, you know, almost fifteen years ago
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: when I was on the show, but I remember being
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: in trying to be very cognizant of how that would
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: have made Vienna Field because you know, my fiance. You
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: don't want her to feel bad or like she's in
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: place or anything like that. And you know what I
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: tried to do, you know, one of my attempts was
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: keep her very involved in the show, you know, which
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: they you know, in turn, they were like, okay, what
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: how about you know during the finale, whatever happens with
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: your season, we're gonna have her. You're gonna have you
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: guys dance together. As long as you're still together, We're
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: going to have you dance together at the finale. We
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: think that'd be very meaningful. And she got she got
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: paid to do that, which I thought was extremely generous
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: of the producers, you know, to compensate her to you know,
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: to come on with me. But yeah, you know, when
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: you're hanging out, I mean, Chelsea high Towers a little cutie,
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: and yeah, the world thought so. And so you know,
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: my fiance is like, hey, you're dancing with a really
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: cute girl doing the Argentine tango across the dance floor.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's tough.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: That's anybody, you know, anybody that cared, uh, you know,
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: that would test, that would test a level of jealousy
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: and absolutely anybody in my opinion.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I agree.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: I get jealous every episode. And I've never even been
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: on the damn show.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: I like, sitting here all pissed off for Whitney Carson.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: So I has been I'm like, what in this Sam
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: hell is going at?
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: I just kidd.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: To that. I mean, we've we've talked about that a
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: lot too, Jake, Like, you know, there's we will every season.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: You know this season is no different, right, you have
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Joey and Jen both from the Bachelor and the Bachelorette. Joey,
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: we know, obviously his his beautiful uh you know, chosen
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: one is on, you know, on the sidelines, watching every
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: episode and and definitely being a part of the show.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Jen Jerry's still out. Tristan's got some some thoughts on
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: this one. You know, we've been calming the audience every
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: week to see if that dude's showing up.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: What's his name again?
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Interesting, Yes, Jonathan, he's been. He was there last night.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's always in the house.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: And then but they're still talking about, you know, kiss
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: the girl because last night was the Disney episode, right.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: I think they're just playing that up.
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: I think that, you know, people are like, ooh, are
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: her and Sasha together? And so I think that they're
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: just playing it up knowing that she's you know, kind
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: of I guess maybe in our relationship with Jonathan. I
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: don't know that for sure, so don't quote me, but
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: I feel like there's been a lot of talk about it,
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: and I feel like they might have confirmed it, but
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: maybe they didn't.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: So I don't know about her and Sasha.
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: I feel like they just had great chemistry and work
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: really well together, and I think they respect each other
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: and just really have fun dancing together. But that's hard too,
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: like you know, going back to like Jake and Vienna,
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: just you know, you're in this new relationship and you're
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: having so much fun with somebody else, you know, it's
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: just it's hard to.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Swallow that pill. So yeah, it's hard.
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: I always whenever anyone from The Bachelor, if it's right
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: after their season, I'm always like, no, don't.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Do it, Like yeah, yeah, well because sometimes even the
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: speculation is tough, you.
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: Know, yeah, and it just takes so much time away
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: from your relationship, truly.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what you really need to be immersing yourself
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: in it and and getting it, getting it concreted in.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, you're right, You're absolutely right.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Well let's get into the season, shall we a little bit?
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: We get into the show from last night, Trista, Yeah,
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: lets you kick us off. We know it was a
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Disney episode. I just want to say, for the record,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Juliane Huff looked amazing as always.
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: I could not keep my eyes off of her on
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: the first dance, Like the opening number was fire she
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: and she wasn't even in the whole thing, but I
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: was just like, oh, I'm just gonna watch Julianne. No
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: I love it when they come out with a huge
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: opening number and they include the celebs.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: So that was fun.
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: And in the back of my mind, I'm thinking, but
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: celebs not only had to, you know, do learn one
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: specific dance, but they had to do the opening number.
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: And even though it wasn't a ton they still had
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: to do the opening number. And this like group dance
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: that they did last night. That's a lot on your
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: plate to remember.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: Feel for them, Jake, did you have any group numbers
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: that you.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Had to do?
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: Yes, uh, yeah in week number seven of my Yeah,
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: the swing.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: That's fun and hard and really hard. Yeah, so it's hard.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: It's really hard. But I think of the swing as
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: like a wedding dance, like a wedding reception if someone
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: like swings me around.
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: And I love that we didn't do a group number.
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: I don't think they did any group numbers on our
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: season at all. But of course I was the first
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: one off, so I don't know.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: But that definitely adds to your plate, right.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: Because you have you have to.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Learn more time away from home or whatever.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's you know, it's it was really hard. You know,
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: everybody's like, hey, what was it like? And I'm like
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: Chelsea high Tower was leading the entire time. She came
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: up with a routine that I could barely do, and
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: then we ranted a thousand times and then did it live.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: That's how it works, right, Yeah, just trying not to
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: get hurt along the way, totally.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that'd be my problem.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's probably why they haven't asked me yet.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Problem so, you know.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Because.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, and I get out there.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Like I think I just ran my neck literally just
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: doing what I just did. I'd be in such bad
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: shape on that show. But so last night they do
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: the big group number, the big group opening, and then
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: they roll into our first dancers and and by the way,
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: I should put this out there before anyone's uh paying
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: too close attention. When Trista was not on the show
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: last week, I did spoiler alert pick the people that
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: got kicked off tonight, right I did. You can go back,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: you can check it if you'd like the factual factual accuracy.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: Well, I shouldn't say that I narrowed down to two couples.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: And yeah, but you.
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: Should replace Carrie in Oh gosh, Yeah, I.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: Have something I will say.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: I narrowed it down to actually I might have said
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: three couples. Now that I'm thinking about it.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: I said, I said Phedra might be going home.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I said, Dwight Howard could potentially be going home.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: And I said, even though she had very quick, uh
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: really warned herself to the audience, because we're getting to
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: this point and that's something to talk to Jake about too.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: But because we're getting to that point right now where
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: actually everyone's a really good dancer at this point, right,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: I thought, well, Alana could go home, right, So that
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: was my potential bottom three and and yeah, and I
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: won't I won't wrote it for anyone yet, but one
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: of those three did go home.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: I will tell you that.
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: You mean for this week. I'm so confused. You were
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: talking about last week? Didn't Brooks go home?
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: Brooks went home last week?
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: And then I was forecasting into this one.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: WHOA Okay?
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: And I said, based off of what I've seen so
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: far and where we're going with the show.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: Because you know this is this is Jake.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, like you said, season seven or episode seven
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: when you were doing the group numbers, this is episode six, right,
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: isn't it?
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: So it's right around that same time.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: I think so yeah.
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: At this point, right, yeah.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: And so everyone's really good now, like everyone's like even
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: though even though Fader went home, she still danced really well.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Like I was impressed, you know, it's like everybody's really good.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: She did.
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: Although I will say in the group number you could
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: tell that she was like, so she was in the
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: front in a lot of things that were involving the
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: rest of the celebs in her group, and she was
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: kind of like like looking back to make sure that
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: she was doing the right things. Do you could tell
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: that I think it was a little more than she
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: could handle that week. I mean, I loved watching her.
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: I thought she's a little spitfire and she's fun to
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: watch and listen to. I just can't wait to hear
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: what comes out of her mouth. But I do think
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: that it probably was, you know, right on. I think
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: for this upcoming week, I think continuing on with your trend,
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: like Dwight, I think Dwight, I don't know.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say he probably will go home. Yeah,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: that will be my gal.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing, and Jake, we know you haven't
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: had a chance to watch a ton of these yet,
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: but Dwight Howard is what six eleven right, and.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: His tall and what's his partner name? She's she's super.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Cute, Danny Daniel, Daniel, she's like five to one, and
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: so like the first week he was like carrying her
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: around and it was like funny. But it's like that
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: can only last so long, right, So especially when you
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: start getting into this stuff. Now, we're like, I mean,
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Chandler looks like a pro honestly, Like you know, I
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: mean half the time, you don't even know which one
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: of those two are the pro. She's so good, you know,
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Joey's killing it, Jed Tran's killing it.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: Like the whole everyone that's left on the show right
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: now is really good.
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: Danny Almondolo Like I didn't see his dance last week,
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: but the contemporary piece, like I want to go back
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: and watch it because I feel like he.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Continues to crush it.
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: I actually, when I was watching that part of it
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: last night, I'm like, actually, he might be part of
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: my top three. So I think I'm going to add Chandler, Joey,
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: and Danny to.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: The nice Yeah, okay, all.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Right, yeah, well my guess.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Once again, our boy Joey for the Bachelor, who none
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: of us pegged him to be this dancing machine last night.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: Looked like a Fabio Tarzan.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: That was funny.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: Yes, wig leather jeans. I mean, I was like, what
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: is going on with this guy? What was your what was.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Your most favorite outfit? Jake? What did you get to
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: wear that was fun?
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: Like?
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Did you wear any wigs or anything like that? Uh?
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: I didn't wear any wigs. You know, probably when when
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: we did it was the first Latin dance we did
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: and it was the quick Step. I dressed up believe
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: it like Harrison Ford.
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: Oh fun nice like Indiana Jones Harrison.
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: Ford or or Indiana Jones. Yeah, good point, Indiana Jones.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Love. That was my favorite movies growing up. Our series,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: that's so fun. I love that. I really didn't get
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: to dress up in anything fun. But that's okay.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: The first season is always the roughest because you got
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: to go through like they're they're figuring out what the
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: show is.
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, it's yeah.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: So I asked this of Crystals.
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: Crystals was on with me a couple weeks ago, and
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: I wanted to know if he would go back on
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: the show if they asked him to do an All Stars.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: What are your thoughts.
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: Oh, hands down, I would do it.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, I love it. I would.
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: I would definitely. If they did an All Stars, I
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: probably wouldn't do very well. But I was you know,
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: that was I think. Let me I guess. The way
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: I would answer that is, you know, from myself. The
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: biggest thing that I saw that I really missed last
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: night was Lynn Goodman.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: Oh true.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, not just on the show, because he was such
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: a dynamic judge. The other you know, Derek is doing amazing.
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: Everybody loves Bruno and Carrie Anne's amazing, but I miss
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: I miss Brune. I mean, I miss miss Lynn. That
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: was just such a well produced show. The way that
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: the way that those producers put everything together. For me,
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: you know, I mean The Bachelor was a very magical experience,
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: but Dancing with the Stars was truly uh just that
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: was truly an opportunity to you know, just it's almost
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: like it didn't even happen. That's one of those things, Yeah,
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: did I get to do? That would be so much
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: fun to go back, you know, I try to go
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: back to the show, you know, each season. I haven't
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: been since COVID, so I've got a couple of years
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: that I've missed because the dynamics of you know, getting
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: to the sound stage have changed. But I've stayed real
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: close to that crew just because they were they were
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: so welcoming with open arms. Hey you've got this. Just
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: keep do we know that you know your body hurts,
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: Just keep pushing through it. It's so worth it.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, totally.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: It's a great group producing it.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, agreed, that's awesome. Did you have Ashley Eden's as
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: a producer.
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: No, the the EP or executive producer, sorry, Dina Katz.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Well, Dina, Yeah, she's she's a constant. But Ashley was
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: on Bachelorette.
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so I think she was on Bachelor. She definitely
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: was on My Bachelorette.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: And she now is like besties with the Huffs and
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: like goes around with them. She's done a couple. She
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: does a bunch of.
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: Other shows, but she produces like the Christmas Special and
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: works with them a lot.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: But she was working I don't I don't know.
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: Maybe she started after no because she was on my
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: Dancing with the Stars season. She was a producer on
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: Dancing with the Stars and then she became one of
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: the exec producers. So maybe she was there with Dina
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: and just more behind the scenes on your season.
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: If I saw her, I would I would, I would
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: remember right away.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, she's awesome, She's amazing. I love her.
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: So, okay, I'm gonna put side by side Bachelor Dancing
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: with the Stars.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Which one did you like better?
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: Dancing with the Stars?
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: So I love.
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: That just because it seems like you had a really
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: great experience. But do you feel like if you hadn't
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: done The Bachelor, then you probably wouldn't have done Dancing
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: with the Stars.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: So isn't it Bachelor that you want?
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: I remember the conversation where Mike Flice approached me and said, hey,
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: dancing is talking to us about you, and you know what,
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: if you want to go, it's green light. I mean,
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: it's not in your contract, but he said, I'll green
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: light that all day long.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Awesome.
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: I've never asked I've always wanted to ask you this, Trista, Yeah,
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: and Bob. So when we first started to shoot The Bachelor,
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: it was like before the you know, before the limousines
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: rolled up. I was talking to the executive producer in
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: a law on Gail and I just said, Hey, the
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: way that I'm looking at this, I understand that you
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: guys need to make a television show, and you need
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: to make a television show to get people.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: To watch it.
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: And I completely respect that. I said, I'm going to
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: stay out of your way whatever you need to do,
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: but do me a favor. I am here to find
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: and fall in love because I believe I can do that. Yeah,
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: and we before then then limousines came, and I mean,
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: I think that conversation that we had before we started
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: is why we had a pretty successful season, because I
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: understood what they were trying to do and they understood
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: that I was serious about my presence on there. And
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: I think that that may have had something to do
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: with Mike Flis going, hey, thank you so much for
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: allowing us to do what we do. Thank you for
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: coming on, you know, vulnerable and open hearted, go have
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: fun on dance and don't hurt yourself. Yeah, totally, because
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: he could have said no.
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: Honestly, he could have very well said no. I think
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: he said no a lot heyes to certain people. So yeah,
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: I feel the same way. I've always had that mentality
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: that they're producers and they were my friends, like I
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: became very close with a lot of them and I
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: always had a healthy amount of respect for the fact
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: that they are doing a job and even though I
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: was also there for I don't want to call it
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: a job, but I was for sure looking for love.
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: So I think that when you're able to respect each
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: other and there's.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: No like.
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: Egos involved, then it just it just makes things low
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: a whole lot easier, like everyone wants to support each other.
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, I completely agree.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm glad.
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: I'm glad that it worked out that way and that
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: they could greenlight you for dancing, because it is such
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: a such a fun, such a fun, once in a
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: lifetime thing to be part of.
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: If I had known when I was being cast on
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: The Bachelor that Pamela Anderson was going to walk by
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: me wearing a towel, I had no idea that was
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: going to happen in my lifetime. I'm serious. That's so
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: funny watching her on Baywatch.
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, of course, duh. Any other moments like that that happened.
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: That was it eating buzz Aldron buzz All on the moon.
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: That guy was my hero when I was pam Anderson
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: was my crush. Buzz Aldron was my hero.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. You hit the jackpot on that show.
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: I'm such a genuine great guy.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, I love that.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: That's awesome, so fun, all guys, I hate to be
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: the buzzkill on this one, but you know, Gil, but
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: I think it's time. I think it's time for us
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: to make our predictions for next week. Yeah all right, Trista,
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: So you already said you think Dwight's going home.
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: I mean, I love them, but I do think that
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: they just have so much against them with the height difference.
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: I love his personality. I think he's doing a great job.
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: But I think compared to the people like Joey, like Chandler,
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: like Danny, I just and Jen like al Alona, like
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: everyone's everyone is crushing it this season, as we have
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: said week after week after week, But but you get
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: down to the really really nitty gritty, and I just
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: feel like that difference is.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Is gonna finally put that nail in the coffin?
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: Maybe?
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: So yeah, that's my prediction. Who knows if I'm right
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: or not, But.
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: No, I think you could be onto something. I think
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: I'm narrowing it down. I'm gonna do two again.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: I think the basement Dwellers for me next week are
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: going to be Dwight and Daniella, which I which I'm
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: bombed to say, because I really I love Daniella and
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: I love d White too.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: I find him to be so great. Yeah, And just.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: Going through everybody on my list here, I got, well,
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: I gotta say, I gotta say Alana would be the
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: other one because I don't think that America is going
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: to send home an Olympian, right, even though I think Stephen, uh,
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: you know, he's probably in that same level with Alana.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: But so I think it could come down to those two.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Are those three in the bottom three? And and Jake,
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: I know you didn't get a chance to watch too
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: much of the show, but you did get to see
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: any predictions from you.
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: I I think strategically you're looking at it right, you know,
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: like with the height difference, he's six ' eleven.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: I want to than that. I feel like seven feet,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: but I don't know.
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it just it makes it difficult where the other company,
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: you know, the other couple couples, you know, because they
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: they do try to match you height wise. Yeah, totally
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: on the show. And so there's just things you can
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: do dance wise that that wouldn't work for them, otherwise
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: that would look really good. Yeah, I I like him,
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: you know, I'm a big fan, but I it's just
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: getting so comp competitive on there. I just think that
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: their height difference is going to really really start standing
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: out with with how what level they can compete at?
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go, two ballroom experts and their friend
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: chiming in here and I.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Think a ballroom expert. Where's the ballroom expert?
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: Not here?
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Well, you guys are far more expert than me, but
• 28:59
