  Speaker 1: special episode here many episode because Blake Moin's from Tatia
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: season has been spotted filming for Katie Thurston season of
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: The Bachelorrette. So a lot of you were speculating, because
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: of his silence on social media over the past week
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: or so that perhaps he joined the season. Well, we
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: here exclusively at the almost Famous podcast, have got the
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: pictures to prove it. This is us, guys, We did it.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: We've confirmed it. Actually crawled underneath the gate, walked through
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: the resort, grabbed a couple of iPhone photos, and came
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: back to the studio just to give us this update.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: It's very special. Thank you. Actually, yes, yes, okay. So
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: if you guys are like, who is Blake, Well, Blake
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: is the guy from Tasia's last Claire season. He was
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: the one that remember he reached out to Claire in
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: the off in the off season and um showed concern
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: about her mom, and he learned up about Alzheimer's and Um,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: it was probably Claire's like second in line attraction, you know,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: like she kissed him night one. Yeah. Yeah, and then
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Blake like continued to actually be like be pretty prominent
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: of a cast member, getting through to Tasia's I think
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: top five or top six. Mmmm. Now he's like, you know,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: dark hair, had a little spiky, big, old strong guy.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: You can look up as pictures. You'll find out who
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: he is. But Ashley, to cover this whole thing, let's
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: start at the beginning. So you just covered who Blake is.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize that people were even wondering if he
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: went on the season or not. So you're telling me
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: that people on on Reddit or whatever, these bear people
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: talk these days, they're starting to whisper about a week
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: ago that maybe he went on this season. Yes, and
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: now we got pictures and we're posting the pictures from
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: the set of The Bachelorette on our Instagram almost Underscore
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Famous podcast on Instagram. That's where we've posted the exclusive
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: pictures of Blake on set of The Bachelorette. Yeah, so
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: just a little more background of Blake. He's a wildlife manager.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: He's very, very passionate about supporting wildlife organizations he talked
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: about in a season he volunteers with a bunch of
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: different endangered species every year. Uh. You know, we did
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: get to know him. As Ashley just mentioned about his
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: love life, Tatia said, and if you remember that one
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: of the big things coming out of this because he
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: was very declare Claire was into him. But if you
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: remember Tatia said, uh that he's a very good kisser.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Remember that. I do remember that. I don't know if
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: you guys remember we did get to know him a
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: little bit better on our podcast episode. We had him
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: on the I think the day after he got eliminated.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: So you can go back and listen to that desire
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: to Yeah, hey, Ashu, let's say a break here. When
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: we come back, let's continue to break down where they're
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: at in filming, maybe why Blake is there? Is there
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: anything more behind the scenes? Uh, and then dive into this, uh,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: this very interesting topic a little bit more alright, Ashley, Uh,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: little context? Where exactly are they in the timeline of
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Katie season? So like one of the headlines that I
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: saw was just Blake the new Heather Martin of the season. Obviously,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Heather came in very late to the season. I think
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: it was one of the reasons why it was such
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: a big deal for the women. How many weeks in
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: are they on filming? What kind of what do you
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: think this is inappropriate? Do you see this working? What's
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: your opinion? My opinion is that he's probably actually just
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: started Night one. So Night one filmed last Monday, So
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: let me look at the calendar. It was Monday. The
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: twenty two was Night one. So if he's just been
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: spotted now, if he's entering late, he's not entering too late,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming, okay, so then thee to be an off day.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Then they probably had a road ceremony on. Then if
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: he's just entering today, okay, he's probably entering um after
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: who he could be entering after the third row ceremony
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: because it goes really quick, you guys, Night one obviously
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: first rose ceremony and then you have like three days
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: rose ceremony, and then like another three days rose ceremony.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: But it's not inappropriate, and I wouldn't say it's inappropriate
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: if he adds adds himself in now, But why wouldn't
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: he just go in Night one? I mean, learn the
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: lessons of the people in the past and go in
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: night one. Becky Tilly with your season, she didn't have
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: like that much of a target on her back her
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: aunt amber because the night and one, you know. Um,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: but then with Nick he had a big target. With Heather,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: she got a huge target. It just goes over better
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: if you enter yourself at night one. Yeah, I mean
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I think that would be smart. He might have. It's
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: interesting to see these photos, Like Ashley said, we're going
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: to post these photos. They're very like secretive right there,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: like taken from like it looks like even like a
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: one of those like guard boosts, kind of looking down
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: onto the resort. Blake's walking around having no clue at
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: picture being taken of him. I just want to know
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: who got these pictures where they stay the resort? Were
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: they really sneaking over the wall, Like if so, I mean,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: good job, kudos to you. So my thought is, I mean,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: if I'm to over analyze these photos, yeah, I would
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: say ahead and do that. That's what we do best.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I would say, this looks like he's going on to
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: a one on one or he's just entering and there's
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: a whole bunch of hubbub around him entering light do
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: you do you think there's like people standing there on
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: the outside of the resort right now, just waiting for
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: people to leave. Does that happen? I think these photos
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: look like they were taken on set from somebody who
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: works on set. These are not like some came some
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: reality like some reality Steve type stuff, like how did
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the world you get this kind of photos type stuff.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: So he also has a mask on in one of
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: these pictures, which leads me to believe that possibly he's
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: not out of quarantine yet. That's arrived later than everybody
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: else because as cast, just like from Ben and I
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: making appearances over the past two seasons, once you're quarantine
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: fully as a cast member, you don't have to wear
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: the mask anymore. Interestingly, the production team always wears a
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: mask even though they've been cleared. Yeah, huh, it's super interesting.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: There's a lot going on here. I don't know how
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: to I don't know how to consume it all, but
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I mean it's definitely intriguing. Um Ashley, before we head
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: out of here, I do want to hear your opinion
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: when it comes to somebody coming on the show who's
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: been on this show before. The common phrase from the
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: people in the cast is going to be you've already
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: had your shot, You've already tried it and didn't work.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Give somebody else a shot. What do you think of
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: that phrase? Do you find this endearing? Do you think
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: this could work well? Blake just seems to me like
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: that guy right now, like with the with this move,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: it's like kind of came over the top in the
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: sense that he reached out to Claire in the off season,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: and now he may have reached out to Katie in
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: the off season, and if he didn't, then he's saying like,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: oh I felt something. Like he just seems to be
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: that guy that like maybe feels something for everyone, because
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: then he also was the guy who once Claire left,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: he was like, oh, I'm all in Protasia. Yeah yeah, yeah,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: I was like really in declare, But now like that's over,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I'm all Indotasia. Okay, all right, You're just I think
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: like you just have a thing for all bachelorettes. I'm
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: not like a huge fan of the cast saying, um,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: you know, you've had your shot because like you had
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: your shot with somebody you're totally incompatible with. So like,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: I have no problem with people if they feel a
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: real inclination to go on the next season, like you
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: have the end like as mine as we'll use it,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: you know, risk all the things for love. Um, you know,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: if you as long as you don't go overboard, I
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: think I think you're fine. And as long as you're
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: not like directly eliminating somebody else, I think you're fine too.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: It's like the end of the day, if the if
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: the lead had more of a connection with you than
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: they did with this person, like you weren't gonna win anyway,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like he does if he
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: does in some way eliminate someone, it's like, well that
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: person wasn't going far anyway. Mm hmm. Yeah, I'm I'm
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: kind of like in favor of maybe that makes me weird.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I get to like if you do it four or
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: five times, it could get a little awkward, maybe a
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: little much, but overall, it's like, you know, if you're
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: out in the real world and you're single and you
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: want to find somebody, the advice we would give would
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: be just keep dating, Like just keep trying it, get
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: out there, put yourself out there, see if it works.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: If it doesn't work. Um, you know, if you're on
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: the show. Obviously you've had a little bit of background
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: on each lead, and so maybe you're interested. It's hard
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: not to be interested in a lead. It's kind of
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: the whole setup for the whole thing. But I'm not
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: against it. Um. I think at times it's sweet. It's
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: a huge risk, you know, Like with Becka Tilly, it
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: was like, hey, I'm glad you give this shot. I
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: know you've been here before, I know you know what
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: this is. I know you didn't even love it the
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: first time, but at least I'm glad you give it
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: a shot. And uh, I'm hoping this is the same way. Well, actually,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: this is a big story. We'll see where it ends.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: We'll even see if it's anything right, Like, at this point,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: we know he's on set, but we don't know if
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: he's there just to host a date. We don't know
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: if he's there to like, you know, do you love
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: the way that we've gone this far without even making
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: that a possible Uh? Okay, Well, I can debunk that
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: theory right now by saying that he wouldn't be off
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: social media if he wasn't a cast member trying to
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: vie for Katie's heart, Because we know that you're able
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: to keep your phone as just guest hosts. Yeah. Actually
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: there's so many different options here, right, Like some of
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: this is a guy shows up to a show like
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks in and he makes it like
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Keather Martin did like eight hours on the show and
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: like he's gone, Like, you don't know where this goes.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: It will be interesting to watch. There's no spoilers even
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: involved because we're just speculating on everything. But we do
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: have photos. Go to our Instagram page once again, it's
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: almost underscore famous podcast to see these photos of Blake
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: on set for Katie's season. Well, that's been our special
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: breaking news episode, Ashley. We're gonna still be back right
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Monday with the whole episode one thousand percent. And before
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: we leave, I just have one last question for you, Ben.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: How would you how would you see Ben and Katie
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: together as a couple? Do you see him getting far
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: on this? Well you just asked how I would see
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Ben and Katie together as a couple. I don't see
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Ben and Katie working out, but Blake and Katie, Oh
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: my god. But yeah, so I don't know. You know,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: here's the thing about Katie. I feel like they know
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: more about Blake than I do about Katie. Well, actually,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: I feel like we probably know them just about equally
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: because they both got as far as they did on
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: There's each other's on the respective seasons, and um, they
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: both played about equal levels of storyline. Yeah. So I
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: mean that's my my honest thing, And people might argue
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: with me about that. I'm actually kind of excited for
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: the chance. Like I know Michelle, even though she was
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: there the same amount of time as Katie, she was
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: just there at the end and Katie was at the beginning. Um,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: better than I know Katie. I don't know Katie really
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: at all. We don't know a lot about her yet,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: and so this is all news. So I can't even
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: say that. All I can say is it seemed like
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: both Claire and Tasha were into Blake, which makes me
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: think that, like he's a good catch, and you know,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: there's always a shot with a guy good looking who
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: seems sweet. He's a hopeless romantic. Um I here here's
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: the funniest part, and I'll leave on this state make
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: some kind of just like rambling now, I Blake seemed
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: like the guy that was perfect for Paradise. In my
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: mind and so like, if this doesn't work, then do
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: we seem in paradise? And well he literally pulled the
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: hand around and be on television for like seven months
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: in a row. Oh my gosh, this is the I
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: went so gonna paradise too. I think he's great. I
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: think you'd be great at it. But uh, well, hey,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: we'll follow his story along. We'll be back Monday with
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: a full episode of the Almost Foost podcast. Again, we
• 13:14
