  Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Hey everyone, welcome to the Almost Simois podcast. We're recapping
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Men Tell All. We're not gonna complain about it, Okay,
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: we're also.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: Wonderful we had it was wonderful.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: So I was gonna say there was there was so
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: much that we can talk about that had nothing to
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: do with the actual tell all part, because there were
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: two moments that were like in the first twenty minutes
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: in which we resume back in Hawaii.
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: I would like to say two things because huh, the
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: tell all part, you know, isn't I don't think I'm
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: with you. It's not the most important part of this episode.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: But there are two topics that I would love to
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: get your opinion on.
• 0:44
  Speaker 5: Well, sure, what.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: Did you think about the gin and the men's reaction
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: to Sam M? And then at the same time, I'd
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: be actually curious to hear, like, what your take was
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: on Sam in leaving this episode?
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: Sam n Okay?
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Is this because we talked about how Sam and seemed
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: I said he seems self aware on his Instagram? Yes, uh, well,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: I think my biggest takeaway from the Sam M thing
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: during the tell all was just like, I think it's
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: still weird that the guys are holding it against him
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: so much that he's never been in a relationship or
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: never been in love, Like he's twenty five. I don't
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: think that's that weird these days. Yeah, it is odd,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: He's like it is odd. It's not like I'm sure
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: most people have had those feelings by that age, and
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: I don't think that there's just like, I don't think
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: it's like a red flag at twenty five. If you
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: were telling me that the guy was thirty five and
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: was feeling like this, I would be like, oh, Okay,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: it's weird.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: But do you think they're doing it because his lack
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: of relationship and it felt like his like kind of
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: lack of ability to navigate this process. They're blaming on
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: his immaturity. They're saying, hey, you were doing this thing
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: all weird and like we we can't blame I mean,
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: I would like somebody to be like, we can't blame
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: you for it, man, you don't have a lot of.
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: Experience, right.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: I think that would have been the better way of
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: saying it, just saying like, you don't have a lot
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: of experience, you're a little immature, about it, but to
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: like make it seem like he was weird for having
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: not been in those situations.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: I was, just like, you guys, a small piece of this,
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: though obviously the sam M moments were a little bit
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: more controversial or talked about.
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: I mean, watching this, I couldn't.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: The funniest thing that I've seen about sam M over
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: the since the airing was this Instagram meme where he
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: was looking at himself on like the projector that they have,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: and the way he was looking at himself as if
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: he was in awe and it was like Sam M
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: really just in love with sam M. And that was
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: the perfect way of describing everything. And Jen's reaction towards Sam,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: like the way she stood up for herself when she
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: got to the stage was perfect, and she was like
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: and she said that I want this to be you know,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: I'm not trying to really bring you down. I just
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: want this to be a learning lesson for you. And
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I'm glad that he just said I accept that. I
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: was surprised, and I really wonder if there was more
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: that didn't make the cut. And I think she went
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: after him so hard, not just because watching it back,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: he you know, prioritized himself. It was always me, me
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: and me, But it was really probably so bothersome that
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: he got his entire family and like friend group to
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: insinuate that there was like more to the story and
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: that she actually sucked.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that did not help his cause. I do think
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: that like hurt his cause. All Right, final part of
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: the tell All that was interesting. Noah was there, Noah's brother.
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: This This was my most memorable part of the time.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Okay, tell us, tell us why.
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: Because the book that they gave him was a fake
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: book completely.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Like the producers created this book and then they
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: continued with the storyline that it was real on the
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: tell All.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: It's kind of odd, right, it's super odd because that
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: information is out there. And then they had his brother, Noah,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: who we know, well, try to talk about the book
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: situation because he had a book situation in which Bennett
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: back on Tasha's season, gave him a book about what
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: was that being emotionally intelligent? And they're like, oh, isn't
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: it funny that you guys both had book moments. It's like, well,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: you guys, you're telling us that you really don't think
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: that you were trying to mimic a situation that you
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: had years ago. Yes, we all know that this was
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: a production thing.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and it goes back to what we talked about
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: last year. I think they expect the viewers to be like,
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: really dumb. Yeah, and it also helps. And I don't
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: know why they do it, because there's other ways they
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: could have gone about this that would have made it
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: interesting and something to talk about. But it almost feels
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: one like they don't expect the viewers to kind of
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: understand this, and it continues to lose trust with the
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: viewers because this is a very easy moment where the
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: viewers go, this is being very produced.
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: Ben good point.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: And there was another moment in the bloopers where I
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: was thinking, holy Crappoli. They're being very obvious that sometimes
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: we're being told to say certain things. See normally I
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: tell you, and I feel like we're very trustworthy when
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: we say I hope that you guys believe us when
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: we say that the show really isn't scripted, because that's
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: like the number one question that we get is it's scripted,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: and we're like no. And in comparison to other reality
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: TV programs that Ben and I have been part of
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: since this experience, we always say that this is like
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: the most authentic at least scripted. But then in the
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: bloopers they have Jen narrating something and she keeps stumbling
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: over the right way of saying it, and I'm like,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: this makes it seem like she does have a script
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: she's reading off of.
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: But I just want you guys, things have changed too.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: We have to admit that maybe we aren't in the
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: know anymore on how things are operated behind the scenes.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the lead is going to like narrate situations the
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: way they want them to, and sometimes they'll sit you
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: down and be like, we have a lot of pickups
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: to do, we have a lot of narration, not so
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: much so we have two sort of interviews when we
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: go into the interview room. Some of them are in
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: the moment interviews, which are usually the most emotional, like
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: they're actually interviews with how we're feeling. And then sometimes,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: like on Rose Ceremony days, we go into the interview
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: room and it's kind of us narrating the week. So
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: when you saw Jen stumble a couple times, that was
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: her trying to narrate the week properly.
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: It wasn't really a script.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know why they're kind of doing this though.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: It's it's going to lose trust with the viewers, and
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: I think it's slowly but surely going to continue.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Now we've kind of gone through it.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: I mean, is there anything else that you really sit
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: out to you during the mentell all part that you
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: thinks chat we're the.
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: I don't think so.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: I'm just glad that Noah did make fun of his
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: brother because like Noah, it's like, oh, you know, we kind.
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: Of went about things. It was a little different.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: I can't really stand behind he said in the nicest
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: possible way, but I can't really stand behind like my
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: brother's behavior. That guy is yo, Like they couldn't be
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: more different. He makes you feel super weird.
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: Aaron.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: And then he's like, I've been divorced.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: So I know these things like I'm experienced relationships and
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: la la lah. I'm like, okay, you're divorced for a reason,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: I feel.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think a divorce would be the like
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: the marker for ye. Yeah, I know how to do relationships.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: I mean, hey, but I don't think that's what I'll
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: be using as as the the nugget of Hey, look
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: at me. I know how to go through this. Now
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: we do get into the juicy part of this episode,
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: we did. I think we do have to mention that
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: Grant Ellis was there.
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: But he wasn't.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he was like obviously not going to be taught,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: like arguing with the guys up there that was they
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: were never going to put him in the midst of that.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: No, he's way above and beyond this. Now, still excited
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: for that season, but we still have gen season to
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: talk about.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Still excited about that season, but really really confused by
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: the pick of a Grant you are.
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: Wait, yeah, what that was my two things?
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: I started the podcast saying that there was two shocking
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: things that happened the first couple of twenty minutes.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: So you think it was Jonathan.
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: Why in the world, Why in the world was it
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: not Jonathan.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: I even got a message because I sat on Instagram story.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: I was like, you guys, this is so weird. Why
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: it's not Jonathan. We know Jonathan, We like all love Jonathan.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: He's super endearing. He got that far, he got emotionally intelligent,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: he got to the top three, which is like the
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: sweet spot for Bachelor, and they didn't pick him, and
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: then I got a DM one of many DM most Oh,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: I got so many dms about like agreeing with me.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: People think it's very weird he wasn't chosen. I got
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: one that was like I heard that there's problematic things
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: about the top three. I'm like, okay, well that was
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: the case, then they wouldn't have announced him as being
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: part of Bachelor and Paradise, so scratch that as the reasoning.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: Okay, it's interesting. I do think Jonathan would have made
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: a lot of sins. But at the same time, they're
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: still kind of hiding Grant, so we don't know Grant yet,
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: Like there were not even getting moments, Like even during this,
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: we're like, we get to know him so much better.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we see the little clip in the beginning of
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: the episode where he talks to his mom, but like
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: that was that's been out there.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: We floated that clip around. Who've seen it for a
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: few weeks.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Jonathan and the way that he left and he explained himself,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: he just.
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: Had like the Bachelor departure, and it just feels super weird.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: It just feels like another miss for us, unless they
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: want to use him because they need to repromote Paradise,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: as you keep insane, I knew itting that it wasn't
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: going to happen. We have two people going to Paradise,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: him and hikem being officially members of that cast, and
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: so maybe they just feel like they need a superstar
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: on that beach.
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: And that's theirs.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: Let's start at the beginning. Devin has big moments during
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: this episode. Devin obviously has the cliffhanger coming off of
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: last episode. We think and we fully believe he was
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: going home. But if I do remember right, I did
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: say I feel like Devin stays because that last clip
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: at the end in the white suit where you can
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: only see her looking at somebody's shoulder had to be
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: Devon based on his height. We didn't know how it
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: was going to get there.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: We thought he still.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: Left and maybe came back. Ashley, what did you think
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: of what really happened?
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: Well? I texted you and I said, Ben, do you
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: know spoilers or something?
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: And you know, I don't this season, I don't know and.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: He says he does not, I know nothing, And I'm like,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: how did you think that that was? How did you
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: called it being? You called Devon being at that altar?
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: Because he's the tallest one I know.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: But I don't know. There could have been, Like I said,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: we could have worked some way around that. I could
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: have been a producer who knows. They don't show a
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: lot of the body. Yeah, but Ben was right, Devin
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: is somehow at the finale, he's in the top two.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: I'm glad he's in the top two. One of my
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: favorite moments of Bachelor, of Resa Bachelor history now is
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Jen saying, like, I love you freaking idiot. Like, how
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: cute was that? That was such a cute way of
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: dropping the I love you in a relationship, like the
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: way that they have.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: But I mean, I know there's some explanation going on,
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: but why do you think this wasn't said before?
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: I want to think she was trying to sort of
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: keep her eye love you secret. Okay, But then again
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: I say that and she kind of told Marcus that
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: she loved him. I think she reserves the I love
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: you for like the moment of like I need to
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: prove my feelings to this person.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: Are we like.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: Sixteen of sixteen season since I was the Bachelor, where
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: somebody has told two people they love them.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, Ben, everybody has said that I'm in love with
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: the final two people. Since you did it, it's just
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: you really just said a precedent. You've made everybody feel
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: comfortable in loving two people at the same time.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I ruined the show.
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: So Devin obviously has told he you know that she
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: loves him. His reactions beautiful. It's kind of shocking to me, though,
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: Like it is shocking that that was the reaction she had.
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: I didn't expect it or see it coming.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: Neither did I.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: And even when he was telling her, I don't know
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: whe there's the music and it was throwing me off
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: or what. But they got me. They got me. I
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: was like, she's gonna she's gonna tell it.
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: She'll let them gently down now.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: And then and there it was the I love you
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: freaking idiot and it was the cutest things. And now
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: it makes me sad that we still think that she
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: ends up alone and she doesn't end up with Devan,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: because man, I'm rooting for them.
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: It is shocking, That's what I was gonna say. It's
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: shocking that we still have this theory that she ends
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: up alone. I might be changing that theory because I mean,
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: I don't know how this goes wrong in one week. Now.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I'm going to say that what the thing
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: that seems most plausible for what goes wrong is that
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: she ends up thinking that she ends up wanting it
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: to be Marcus in the end, and then Marcus is
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: like no, and then she says, okay, well, then I
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: can't just fall back on fall back on Devin. Sure,
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: and then Devin tries to propose, and that's when she says,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: I'm going to stop you. Or it could be just
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: very typical. It could be super typical. Devin's the first
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: one up there. She doesn't want him to get down
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: on one knee because that's just a moment that we
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: all hope a personally does once in their life and
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: doesn't waste it on a TV moment.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: You except for some people.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So then she stops him, and then who knows,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: then Marcus comes down the aisle and then they live
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: happily ever after. Could go down like that too, and
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: we would have actually been thrown off by all the
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: good teasers.
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: It's been a while since you and I've been drastically
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: thrown off, and I'm ready for it if it needs
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: to happen that way. The Marcus jin situation you feel
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: strongly about it still.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: The fact that he doesn't love her enough. Yeah, yeah,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: I don't think he's going to get there. And I
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: still think it's very weird that it was like I'm trying,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: I think it's a little late to keep trying.
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: Like we said last week, we kind of gave or yesterday,
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: I guess we gave our synopsis on what we think
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: it feels like to fall in love with your forever
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: partner and definitely what you want to feel. Is it
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: interesting to you now at all? I mean, I know
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: you've always been a Jonathan's supporter since day one, that
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: knowing where Marcus was at that Jen said goodbye to
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: Jonathan and not Marcus.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, good point, Ben, I was thinking that, and yes,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Jonathan had me even from the Mummy rap, and you
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: did not get it.
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: I did you thought that you thought that he was
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: going to get eliminated so early? Because of that?
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: I think he's a great dude. I just I thought
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: the Mummy rap was wild, but I mean he did it.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: He's crushed it. But yeah, I think he's stole in
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: the hearts of a lot of people, and you concluded, Yeah.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: So I think she just ran a big risk by
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: taking on Marcus over Jonathan. But what it proved to
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: me was that Jonathan was never going to be it
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: because she's willing to take the risk with Marcus by
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: letting Jonathan go.
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: Well, I think to close out this episode, I think
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: you do have to give you your guests on how
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: this does play out, like.
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: If you were between my two theories.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like, give us what how you think this actually
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: goes down during the.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Finale, because they say it is different than any other
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Bachelor at ending. I'm gonna go with the theory that
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Marcus is gonna leave, Devin will be the second place choice,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: and she knows that she can't accept a proposal from
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: a second place and she does leave alone.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: How does that?
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: How do you feel about that after watching a full
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: season and that's how it ends?
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: No, Like you said in our previous episode about episode eight,
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: I feel like that is the fair and authentic thing
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: to do, except it makes me sad because it doesn't
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: make me sad as a viewer for a law of
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: being like, eh, I invest in my time in this,
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: It's fine.
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: I invest in my time.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: As it because like every episode is entertaining, and like
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: I care about these people. You know, it makes me
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: sad because I care about these people at this point,
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: but like I'm not sad about wasting time. That's like
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: absolutely ridiculous. I'm sad because I say I'm sad, but
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: like I don't know what's gonna happen. I would be
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: sad because I just, I just I have grown to
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: really have feelings for Devon. Really, yeah, I really just
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: find him to be a very rootable, emotional character. And
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: I would also obviously feel sad for Jen, and that's
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: so obvious because you get the role of bachelorette and
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: then it doesn't work out for you.
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the gen's part messes with me the most.
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: I think Devon's gonna be crushed. We saw him during
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: the last episode so conflicted when he didn't think Jen
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: loved him. Now he believes that Jen loves him. I
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: think he fully believes this is his right.
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: What's gonna make it so much worse?
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it could have been better for him if she
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: just would have said, yeah, you know what, you should
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: go home. I think he right now he is invested,
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: which makes a really wild life show. I think it's
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: going to be really hard for him to sit beside her,
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: to see her, to have this conversation. And I feel
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: bad for Jin because I think she did a great
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: job this season. I just don't think she connected with
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: any of these guys at the level that we've seen
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: other seasons. I don't know why we weren't there.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Just wasn't there, Like the guy could have just not
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: been there. But maybe we should just save this conversation for.
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: When we know.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we don't know, because we don't know.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: But there is one more thing I do want to mention.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: I cannot believe they made poor Jaquim or other Bachelor
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: in Paradise Spider star. This man is going to be
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: a Paradise Star. His facial expressions are amazing.
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: And I just I don't know how he's he's been
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: such a trooper with these spiders. I was thinking about
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: like the things that I know, like the things that
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: I would sacrifice in life, said like not touch a spider,
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: not touch these spiders.
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: That he's had to hold Angela's. Yeah.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: I'm just like there's so many things that I'd be like, no,
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: do this to me before that, do that to brand me.
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, just don't let me touch that eything with
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: a leg. It's gonna be a wild last episode, Ashley,
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: you've given your ideas on how this ends.
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: Ben, your last guest.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: I do think she still leaves alone, and I think
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: though I have this wild theory I'm gonna throw out there.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: I think she leaves alone and we go to the
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: live show and her and Devin have rekindled.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: The r.
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: Oh. That could be cute, I thought. Okay, quote me
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: on it.
• 19:43
