Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelor In Paradise Edition! In this episode, we’re going back to paradise again, breaking down and recapping the two episodes of Bachelor In Paradise released this... week. We’re joined by Natalie Joy and Keaton Milburn to help us dive into the latest suntanned drama on this season of Bachelor in Paradise! On this episode we kick things off by getting into some Bachelor Nation Tea, talking about Rachel making an appearance on the Off The Vine Podcast where she gives some life updates and reflects on the Aven situation, Peter Weber and Kelley Flanagan going Instagram Official again, and Clare Crawley giving her open thoughts about her fiancé Ryan Dawkins. We then get into the episode itself, opening with Peter and Brittany going on a date that did not end well, talking about how Peter has some fighting words, and Casey fainting. We also debate if Danielle’s relationship feels forced, Victoria serving as the voice of reason this season, and the shocking announcement that the women on the beach would be leaving temporarily, leading to a lot of shock and tears. We talk about Jill’s breakdown, Kate breaking her promise to not step on toes, Jacob hiding that he’s being a f*ckboy by acting goofy, and being naked and howling at the moon. We also talk about the guys’ extreme workout routines, if giving your rose to someone fun or loyal is better, and Lace being aware that she was getting set up for heartbreak. We also talk about Tyler not getting much attention despite being Thor’s body double, Tantric Yoga, the ethics of shopping dates, and not getting a kiss goodbye. “We howled at the moon together and you’re gonna kiss someone else!” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.  To Order Nick’s Book Go To: http://www.viallfiles.com Support a Local Bookstore: https://bookshop.org/books/don-t-text-your-ex-happy-birthday-and-other-advice-on-love-sex-and-dating-9798212185622/9781419755491 THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Everlywell: For listeners of the show, Everlywell is offering a special discount of 20% off an at-home lab test at http://www.everlywell.com/viall.

Lots to talk about. My wonderful girlfriend, Natalie, and her dear friend, and my friend too. Thank you. Kiki. There it is.
Starting point is 00:00:35 I was literally going to roast you if you didn't call me Kiki. I was like waiting for you to say my name was Keaton, but I feel honored that you called me Kiki. Thank you. Milburn? Yeah. That's not right. Milburn. Milburn. Just first name only. Just Kiki is fine. Thanks for being with us
Starting point is 00:00:52 ladies. Lots to get into. Before we get into all things Bachelor well I guess it's still Bachelor. To you know, the episode, it has been recorded. It's done. It's completed. It is in the hopper. It is out on Thursday. I heard it's really good. Yeah. Yeah. Tino's still in this room.
Starting point is 00:01:10 Hey, Tino. He just got done. He's feeling very vulnerable right now. Allie, Amanda, what can the audience look forward to tomorrow listening to Tino's interview? Don't give away too much. Did he deliver? Yes. much. Did he deliver? Yes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:26 Did he disappoint? No. What are we going to say? Yes, he disappointed. He delivered, but he disappointed. Has your opinion of Tino changed? Yeah, I think it's so cool to get a look into the inner workings of the way people emotionally process and handle stuff.
Starting point is 00:01:39 And I feel like he really did talk through all of it in a super high level of detail. So it was a lot of additional context. Great. And it's so much fun when he's in the room while we're talking about it. How did you feel about it, Tina? He thought it was rad. Period. Period.
Starting point is 00:01:56 He says that sheepish, sheepish, sheepish, sheepish? I don't know. The sheep ship off. Skip that word. I don't know if you've heard. I have a book that's out. I don't care. The sheep shipper. Skip that word. I don't know if you've heard. I have a book that's out. I don't care. Whatever.
Starting point is 00:02:08 I'm proud of it. People like it. It's a USA Today bestseller. Who would have thought? We were at an event last night, and they introduced Nick as award-winning podcast host, The Vow Files, and best-selling author. That is so iconic. Right?
Starting point is 00:02:23 That's so sick. Yeah. That's what I thought too. Anyway, I'm really proud of the book and I think it's good and people are really enjoying it and the reviews have been amazing and I hope if you haven't taken the time
Starting point is 00:02:33 to check out the book, either by the book or the audio tape, both fantastic. I hope that you do. I think you'll be surprised. Yeah, vilefiles.com for all the appropriate links, whether you want the audio book or the hardcover.
Starting point is 00:02:47 That's a great gift for a friend. I read it and thoroughly enjoyed it. I really did. I read a chapter in the beginning when he first gave it to me and then I took it home and like literally finished it and loved it. And now my single friends have it. I mean, I'm in a relationship, but I feel like it was really good. Even if you're in a relationship, which I was,
Starting point is 00:03:03 I've been really happy with that feedback too. Anyway, so check it out. All right. Take it away, Allie. Well, God. Well, let's just get right into it. So Rachel, good friend Rachel, went on. Rachel as in Tino's ex.
Starting point is 00:03:16 That's the one. Yep. Earmuffs. Went on the Off the Vine podcast, kind of give a little recap, update on life, update on Avon, update on Tino. The Avon stuff was pretty vague. Just kind of said nothing really happened. Let me guess.
Starting point is 00:03:31 She stopped short of saying there's absolutely nothing there so that. Yeah, she definitely left it open door, I felt like in the phrasing. Like who knows what will happen? We've been traveling so much. So there's nothing there and they kind of like Tana,
Starting point is 00:03:44 Tana like Hannah and Tyler for a long time just let people hope. Speculate. Left it open-ended. Totally. So she just said we're going to see where it goes if it goes anywhere. So kind of vague. She's not actively dating but also isn't in a
Starting point is 00:04:00 place where she feels like she's still healing and shouldn't date. So it's like she's open to dating but she's not actively pursuing it it so thought that was an interesting update um peter and kelly well social media launch peter at yankee stadium are they they went to like an event well he posted her on instagram he's holding her in his arms before though and then like not like that i don't know and he entitled it home run Run. It's still unclear if they're like a thing. No, they're for sure a thing. They're back together.
Starting point is 00:04:27 A source told E! News. A source. It's less pressure this time around, and they have been easing back into a relationship. They are currently long distance, but have been traveling together. Both of them travel a lot and have made it a point to meet up.
Starting point is 00:04:39 That was Peter's mom. Barb, for sure. Barb for sure. She sure is the source. Reached out to E! News. Barb, for sure. Barb for sure. She sure is the source. Reached out to E! News. Okay. All right. Well, hey, I did text them about coming on the show.
Starting point is 00:04:54 Hopefully, we'll be able to find out how this love found itself again after what I thought was a rather unceremonious ending. Some interesting press on Kelly's behalf. Some interesting statements. Well, we'll see. But until then, congratulations to the lovers. I hope it works out this time.
Starting point is 00:05:10 Home run. Yeah. Big home run. Do they have Barb approval? They must have Barb's approval. They wouldn't be together if they didn't. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:17 I don't think. I don't know. But Claire Crawley, you know, got engaged. She was talking about Ryan and the relationship and why she kind of knew he was the one, I guess. And she said, with Ryan, love is just easy. He really does add to my happiness and he fills up my bucket on my days where I am not happy and I don't feel loved. He's very grounding, very masculine, which allows me to be in my feminine. I don't feel this need or urge to stick up for myself. I flag that, which I have felt in the past and can come off certain way in relationships. With him, it's more receiving.
Starting point is 00:05:48 Where he just loves on me and is always so good to me. I just thought that was a very interesting way of summarizing why she likes him. Claire has a very interesting way with her words. You know, she's an expressive person. I feel like Claire and Genevieve want the same thing. They just both want to be touched.
Starting point is 00:06:03 And loved. And loved. And shown some affection in PDA. How long have they been, how long has Claire been with her? Well, when they went public on Instagram, someone was like the best secret, like a year in the making.
Starting point is 00:06:13 So clearly they were dating in private for a while. It sounds like she's found someone who is making her feel ways that she has longed for in the past. And hopefully that's in fact what she needs. So congratulations to Claire. It was a very cute video. They did a little lantern thing up into the sky
Starting point is 00:06:28 and then he got down on one knee. Great. Very cute. Well, congratulations to Claire and Ryan. Ryan? Ryan. Do we know anything about Ryan? He has two children.
Starting point is 00:06:36 Okay. I think two daughters. Yeah. So she talked about that in the interview as well of like how they're going to be involved with everything. But yeah. Awesome. Let's get to the episode.
Starting point is 00:06:44 What an episode it was. Epis forget every now we have like double header so it pretty much picked it starts with with peter and britain is it britney yeah peter and britney they they went on a date that ended last episode it seemed like mutually it didn't go well britney made it pretty clear she wasn't interested in Peter after the day. She said as much to America and her friends. Peter said that and then some. And then a shitstorm happened. That KC did start. That KC did start. Yep.
Starting point is 00:07:14 I thought this fight was, one, just kind of really relatable in terms of just dating. I feel like Bachelor in Paradise, again, as much as any season that I remember, I think are really showing some very relatable dating situations. And what I mean by that in terms of a classic bad date, where it's kind of like they have both kind of points of view. To be clear, I think we all agree, Peter handled himself poorly. He handled his disappointment very immaturely. But I thought it was interesting how, you know, Peter had this point of view of she didn't ask him any questions. And then she had a point of view that he only talked about, you know, pizza or himself. And I thought that
Starting point is 00:07:55 was just like fairly common because they're probably both true from their both their points of view. My guess is like Peter started talking about pizza, whatever the fuck he talks about, and immediately started like giving Brittany the ick or turning him off. And at some point early in the day, she was probably just like, I don't like this guy. I think it was the question, what do you like about me? It started out with like, what did you first notice about me? And so, and I think she referenced that again in the fight as saying this was another sort of thing that I found really challenging to navigate in the moment. And whatever the reason, she just decided that she wasn't interested in him. And we do this thing on
Starting point is 00:08:30 dates where we think people owe us their attention or consideration, which I guess to some degree in a date we do, but like it's a first date. It's like you're talking to a stranger. And, you know, when you hear things like, oh, well, they didn't ask me any questions. Like the possibility is they didn't want to learn anything by the time they got to the point where they were supposed to ask questions. You know what I'm saying? Don't you think, though, that because he accused Brittany of being like a clout chaser and only talking about her TikTok and Instagram, that it could go the other way because because peter only talked about his pizza like so is that not the same thing totally i i again i think peter was way off base with how he handled it i'm just saying i think this is a perfect example of how two people can go on a date and have the he said she said story and like if this wasn't on tv and
Starting point is 00:09:20 we didn't get to see it peter would go to his buddies and be like oh she only talked about herself and whatever and she did this and she like, oh, she only talked about herself and whatever. And she did this. And she's just like, this guy fucking talked about pizza and literally just kept asking me how like she, this guy tried to get me to like gas him up, you know, tell me about my face, you know, like, I just think it's kind of interesting when you, you hear both sides. She was also saying like, read the room after he like tried to kiss her. And I think that that's also where like a lot of the problem lies it's like he wasn't really reading the scenario right and that's what led to like a lot of issues or like kind of hurting his ego i feel like because she was just like he doesn't know how to read the room or read the situation well like if she was very closed off
Starting point is 00:09:58 like he did not pick up on that whatsoever i said this last week peter i think he's lacked a good mentor uh and i think he's some some wrong guy in his life somebody or some older uncle or whatever was this like said just say all these things on a date do all this and this will happen and so he's never actually thought about like getting to know someone yeah for sure peter dates like he said has it off he like he read some manual or he took some advice from the wrong person and he can't quite figure out
Starting point is 00:10:29 what he's doing wrong. The way he fights is so extreme. Like he, like you're a waste of time. You are a waste of my time. Like he cuts deep. He's the bad brother
Starting point is 00:10:38 of a grouper in Seinfeld. For sure. You ever see that episode? Yeah, he is. You guys gotta watch Seinfeld. Sorry. We gotta add that to our to-do list. It's a very somber moment.
Starting point is 00:10:46 Wow. It was like, woo! Yeah. He's the bad breaker-upper in Seinfeld. Yeah, 100%. He handles it very poorly. Obviously, Peter's a very insecure man. But why?
Starting point is 00:10:58 I just think there's a part of me that even talking about it as a two-sided fight, I'm like, he is so much worse behaved than her that it's really hard for me to even like want to go back and forth and be like, hmm, like there's two perspectives here because I just feel like
Starting point is 00:11:09 he was such a massive asshole and acted so entitled. And then like his exit. Yeah. Yeah, I agree. And talking about her looks. Buongiorno, bitches. The pizza king is out.
Starting point is 00:11:19 Is that what you were talking about? That's what I was saying. Jacob was like, that means good morning. Yeah, I'm not talking about the fight. I'm not talking about the fight. I'm just talking about, you know, as a dating show, I think it's interesting to look at how, again,
Starting point is 00:11:30 like she probably didn't ask him questions. That's all I'm saying. Because I don't think she was interested. It's also what I'm saying. So read the room. I just think it's interesting when you hear people's perspectives of a date, how they could be saying what sounds like two different things. And they're really they're kind of agreeing.
Starting point is 00:11:48 They just both are just well, they might feel justified for how they feel the way they do. I just think that's interesting. At home tests, the more you know, the better you are. And Everly Well is making it easier to get the information you need about your wellness. So whether it's just some basic wellness or maybe some STI test. Also, Everly Wells Women's Health Test measures 11 biomarkers known to play a role in your overall wellness and health and checks for abnormal levels that may be keeping you from feeling your best. They also have supplements. I got some fish oil from them. So it's really just like this approach to health, making it easily accessible,
Starting point is 00:12:22 sending it directly to your house. If you do the at-home tests, it already comes with a pre-packaged shipping label. Yes, because I'm not getting out a printer. Uh-uh, no. And you package it all up. Everything you need is all in there. A little bag to put it in, the label. They have an app that'll notify you when they've received your samples, when they're ready. Also, I highly recommend this food sensitivity test they have. You'd be surprised how many foods that you're sensitive to that you don't realize you're sensitive to because there's a difference between like being allergic and like you'll die if you eat it and just being like, you know what, you realize you're always feeling a little bit uncomfortable. It's because you eat two oranges every day and maybe don't, you know. And for our listeners of the show, Everly Well is offering a

Like we've all been on just like terrible dates or if it's like been stood up or if we have a lot of listeners call in and they've been ghosted or just like, it's exhausting and sometimes like Nick says,
Starting point is 00:13:40 it's like shopping at a mall. Sometimes you get overwhelmed. You need to take a break from shopping. You need to take a break.

What level of blame do we apply to Casey for starting this?
Starting point is 00:14:44 Because there is the argument that you kind of complain to your friends about dates. Granted, this is a reality TV situation. And do you think Casey should have confronted Peter and said, hey, I don't like you're saying these things about Brittany, or is it fine that he did that and started this fight? Casey said me and Peter are not friends. Yeah. But he could have gone to Peter and said, hey, like, I don't really appreciate you saying that to her. Like, you know? Yeah. I
Starting point is 00:15:09 mean, he could have definitely said something cause he was saying it directly to his face. And I don't know if it was the way it was edited, but he was just seeming like, yeah, like that's crazy or whatever when he was calling her a clout chaser. And then he went and told her, but also at the end of the day, like, I like how Michael was like, yeah, I would have told her to, like, I felt like that was the right thing to do. I would, I would have appreciated being told that. Brittany acted like she didn't really know Casey at all.
Starting point is 00:15:29 She was just like, she walked right past him. She just walked past him like, thanks. Casey was like, I'm hoping to get a rose from this. And then he told her, she was like,
Starting point is 00:15:37 she's like, excuse me, let me go handle it. Anyways. He didn't say that to her, did he? Yeah. That I'm hoping to get a rose from this?
Starting point is 00:15:41 No, not to her, but in a, in an interview. he said that. But Casey faints. Yeah, what the fuck? And like,
Starting point is 00:15:46 if I ever, if I ever have any health problem, the person that I don't want near me is Rodney. I mean, Rodney like is going to faint and Rodney's just like. Did he just let him fall?
Starting point is 00:15:57 He was like barely holding his shoulders up and he's like, he's like, I think I'm going to faint and Rodney's just like has one shoulder and he's like, yeah, got you bro.
Starting point is 00:16:04 And then he just literally collapses. Like, no help. Nothing. Nothing's going on. And there's Johnny, who I believe is a paramedic, right? I think so. Oh, yeah. He is at his side.
Starting point is 00:16:15 He's like, get him some water. Let's do this. He saves the day, for sure. Props to Johnny. Ronnie, what the fuck? Yeah. Ronnie just drops it. Ronnie's like, I smile.
Starting point is 00:16:23 That's my job. I'm easy to be around. I make people it. Ronnie's like, I smile. That's my job. I'm a child. Like, I'm easy to be around. I make people laugh. I feel like he's so optimistic. He's like, no, of course nothing bad is happening. Casey's like, I'm dizzy. He's like, you're great, man. You're great.
Starting point is 00:16:35 He said something along the lines. He was like, oh, you were serious. Like, he was like, I just feel dizzy, man. And Ronnie was like, yeah, yeah, man. It's a stressful time. And he was like, oh, my. Do you think thaty only fainted because of the heat or do you think he was watching this flight go down and having like a panic attack of being like oh fuck what did i start i think he admitted that i think unfortunately it was a panic
Starting point is 00:16:57 attack because like in the ambulance they were like literally talking he was like yeah i just maybe i shouldn't have said anything and like i feel like he knew that it was because he was too stressed and anxious. Also, wasn't the ankle like situation a little delayed? Where did that come from? I think he fell and fainted and it hurt. It must have twisted his ankle. They were definitely together. But you would have thought that when he came to, he would have said like, oh, my ankle.
Starting point is 00:17:20 But it felt like we had like 10 minutes of him. It also was a really slow fall it's really gradual so i was just kind of wondering like when did that occur you know how long did it take him to get to the ground yeah yeah yeah what do we think of jill telling him to peter to leave jill was inserting herself in a lot of situations this episode this is multiple episodes yeah it's like i didn't like how peter handled it but i don't know if like, we needed him to be bombarded and like, have all these people
Starting point is 00:17:46 kick him out. But also like, did he need to go to a rose ceremony and not get a rose? Like, he could just go. I mean, I guess.
Starting point is 00:17:52 You know? Yeah. It's just time. I agree. I just felt like, I don't know. It was a little aggressive at the moment.
Starting point is 00:17:58 You can just go. I just, when like, the guys showed up, it was like, he was a dick, but like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:18:03 It just, it seemed like they made it into a bigger i mean it's reality tv but i think the thing that activated jill was that britney said something about feeling uncomfortable and then jill like saw red and was like we're gonna take care of that right now yeah and then genevieve joined in yes yeah you know i guess all right well moving on moving on oh wait we should talk talk about Danielle's entrance before the rose ceremony. Oh, yeah. That's right.
Starting point is 00:18:29 Yeah. So Danielle's here. Alumni of your season. A little more enthusiasm there. Yeah. I kind of hated how they presented this relationship to us because it seems very forced. It's just like it's not even like, oh, we're going to have. It's not like, oh we're gonna have see it's not like oh
Starting point is 00:18:45 oh they just happened to me like this whole season up into this point has been this like big setup for michael and they had this relationship and he has these like chats with wells and it's just like you know every time there's gonna be a moment it's just like go talk to wells and wells asks the appropriate questions like oh how you feeling do you think you can still find love it was just such a setup where then she comes down and then they have Danielle give Michael the last rose. He should have got the first rose. That was the most obvious rose. That might've been more obvious than Serene and Brandon. Yeah, I agree. And it's just like, I don't know. So that's what, you know what I'm saying? Like, I have no idea. I mean,
Starting point is 00:19:21 we'll see this relationship unfold. I just think think the show i don't like how the show presented this relationship to us it seemed so manufactured and so like it to me it takes away the opportunity for at least myself to like really see if there's something more because it's it it seems like the show was like you two are gonna fucking date you both have dealt with death we're gonna talk about it till you can't fucking talk about it anymore. And then we're going to talk about it again. And then we're going to talk about it again. And we're going to keep reminding people that you've dealt with death and you're going to fall in love over it. And that's how it felt to me that they are forcing us to like, make sure they fall in love. So it's hard for me to wonder if it's authentic, because there must be a ton of pressure for both of them to like each other because the show clearly has made it like important to them for us, for them to fall in love so that we can have them talk about death.
Starting point is 00:20:17 That's how I feel. Wow, you got that out, didn't you? Was I the only one who's a tiny bit confused? Or seeing that, I thought I'd misinterpreted the conversation Michael had with Sierra because I thought he'd said, I'm the only one who's a tiny bit confused. Seeing that, I thought I'd misinterpreted the conversation Michael had with Sierra because I thought he'd said, I'm not ready. And so I thought it was kind of a general thing and he was trying to depersonalize it from Sierra. So it was confusing to then see him be like, but I really want to stay here.
Starting point is 00:20:37 Was anybody else thrown off by that? Yeah, I mean, we're huge Michael A. fans here. But yes, they're going so out of their way to make him out to be so truly wonderful that it's almost like, yeah, it's almost too far. It's a bit of a contradiction where it's just like we want him to have this relationship and express his struggle. And part of his struggle allows them to set up Danielle. She's the savior. She comes down the steps like right as Michael's like, I guess I'm going home. I'm going to set up Danielle. She's the savior. She comes down the steps, like right as Michael's like,
Starting point is 00:21:06 I guess I'm going home, like I'm going to pack my bags, you know? Like obviously none of this is coincidental. And so, yeah, it makes it seem almost like it was a bit disingenuous towards Sierra. Yeah, or just that the breakup wasn't for the reasons that he said it was for. I think it's more like that.
Starting point is 00:21:23 He was trying to like soften the blow. He didn't want it to be a personal thing. He just happened to make a statement that said he's not ready on a TV show where then we see him date someone else the next week. Yeah. I just ultimately don't think he gave the right reason. Was that into her?
Starting point is 00:21:37 Oh, yeah. He also said she was moving too fast. And I think that was like really like also one of the main things that they were struggling with. So he probably just felt both things and made one of them sound better than the other. Well, and he's obviously not moving fast because Danielle on their first date was like she was strongly implying. She just said. She wanted him to kiss him.
Starting point is 00:21:56 What's on your mind right now? And he was like, I just love how easy this is. It did work out. What's on your mind? And she was like, well, obviously not the same thing as you and he's like what are you talking about yeah very awkward yeah but notable moment you know what are you gonna do yeah it kind of felt to me it was like danielle was like yeah no i'll date michael a you know you know and i'm gonna come down and michael is like no but he was so excited
Starting point is 00:22:21 to see her when she came down he was was like hyped. He also called her Danny. I didn't say Danielle. He said Danny and ran up to her. But then they did this whole like, we haven't met. But they did admit to messaging. You're the champion of a FaceTime relationship. Yeah, okay, Nick. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it.
Starting point is 00:22:38 I'm just saying, again, I hate how, I wish they would have had her come down episode one along with Michael and just, let's see if there's something there. Let's. Do you think it's weird that she didn't talk to anyone else? She just had such because typically when a newcomer comes, they'll like pull people, suss out the vibes. Well, I think it just speaks to just the show not even trying to pretend that they don't like these two are dating. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:02 You know. But also if they have. I mean, it was the same thing for Brandon and Serene. Like, if they are talking before the show, then, like, why are they going to play the game of, like, talking to anyone else? Like, no, like, we're only here for a month. Like, let's get down to business. Totally.
Starting point is 00:23:15 That's why I just wish they would have set them up sooner rather than episode six. Yeah, rather than, like, put Sierra in the mix. Can we talk about the quote that Danielle said? It was good. put Sierra in the mix. Can we talk about the quote that Danielle said at their day? Like the what was it? The fire we have is the love that they left behind
Starting point is 00:23:30 or something. No, you made a fire with the love that was left behind I made a fire with the fire I made a Okay, carry the two.
Starting point is 00:23:37 Okay. Well, either way Natalie was crying when she was watching it. She had tears in her eyes. I started a flame with the fire you left behind or something like that. That's it it i started a fire with the love you left
Starting point is 00:23:49 i started a fire with the love you left behind yes it's great i thought that was really like like he was like touched after that yeah truly i thought that was really sweet like that after they kept talking about death we did need a nice nice closer. Yeah. I hope they don't. We get it. They both have dealt with death. I'm ready to not have the show make them talk about it again. Agreed. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:24:11 Did Danielle talk about it with you on your season? Yeah. First date. She was your first date? Yeah. That was why. So, yeah. Danny and Michael.
Starting point is 00:24:22 I'm rooting for it. I am too. I love Michael. He can wear his V-neck and his crystals and I. I'm rooting for it. I am too. I love Michael. He can wear his V-neck and his crystals and I'll still love him. No matter what he does, I love him. And his shoes. Yeah, and his toms or whatever they are. I love him.
Starting point is 00:24:35 We love Michael. Yeah, he could do no wrong in my eyes. All right. Rose Ceremony 2 finally happens. Justin and James go home. Justin, we love you. It was time to go. I wish it would have been on Justin's terms. I wish Justin would have been like, you know what? I don't know. It's
Starting point is 00:24:50 not for me. I don't know if Justin's ever going to leave on his terms. He's a fighter. I will say this about Justin. He genuinely wants to meet someone. I agree with you. I think he's there for all the right reasons. I feel like he's very very sought on like finding love. He had like a few cringy moments. I could have looked past those, you know, the asking for the kiss on the birthday. I could have lived without that moment. I thought that was a little, but he meant well. I just feel bad that like it didn't end up working for him. Like that sucks. It was rough. It's okay. You'll be fine. Yeah. He's definitely fine now. He came to our birthday party. he's definitely fine now. He came to our birthday party. He's great.
Starting point is 00:25:25 He's definitely fine now. He's doing well. Thriving. All right, so morning after, Danielle reaches out to Michael. Oh, yeah, so we got the backstory of Danny and Michael. And this is where the episode really takes off. Jesse Palmer comes in.
Starting point is 00:25:39 I thought this was brilliant. This is amazing. He comes in, tells everyone that the women are leaving paradise. Everyone's freaking out. Jill is crying for days. Days. It seemed like it would be days. And then in walk-
Starting point is 00:25:51 Jesenia. Jesenia. Jesenia. Sarah. I didn't catch her name, but she's from Bachelor Australia. And then we had the guy from Bachelor Australia. I think she's Russian who's from Australia. She seemed to have a Russian accent.
Starting point is 00:26:04 Which I will say, in Australia, I met a lot of Eastern European people. There's a lot of Russians. A lot of the Dancing with the Stars are Australian Russians. So anyway. Shout out. Shout out. Oh, and Eliza. Eliza.
Starting point is 00:26:15 Eliza. So you have three attractive women come in. Four. Four attractive women come in who are... No, there's definitely five. There's definitely five. Yeah. Who are we missing?
Starting point is 00:26:24 Australia. Kate. Oh, Kate. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, Kate. men who are no no there's definitely five there's definitely five yeah where are we missing australia kate oh kate yeah yeah oh because kate didn't want to step on toes and then she was kind of like an escort literally stepped on all of them and then like straddled and then like literally straddled jacob she like grinded on some toes she gave a lap dance on toes and then at the end of it she goes thank you so much for chatting with me. I was like, sweetheart, that was not a chat. We were dying. I literally have it written down. Doesn't want to step on toes, straddles in the hot tub, like, immediately after saying
Starting point is 00:26:51 that. I was very shocked. Good for her. Yep. I also think it really proves my theory that they do so much hot tub action on the show so that way... But that was on a daybed. She straddled them on a daybed. No, but then later in the pool, and he said, I need a minute before I can leave. I thought the hot tub was first.
Starting point is 00:27:07 The hot tub was first. And then the next day. The hot yoga pose. They were like that tantric. But Rodney was very excited for this new venture. Oh my God. The whole time. And they walked in.
Starting point is 00:27:19 Rodney. It was like when you're in middle school and you're taking a test. You can't laugh or talk. And you're at a sleepover and you have to be quiet and you just laugh. You can't stop laughing. That was Rodney. He could not look. He couldn't hold his smile in. His excitement back was breaking through him.
Starting point is 00:27:39 He's just looking at Eliza and he's so giddy. He's just sitting there so upset. It was so hard to watch. He might as well offer to have packed Lace's suitcase for her. Literally. Yeah. It's like, so do we need help or? Like, all right, Lace, you ready to go?
Starting point is 00:27:55 Ready to go? Yep. Gotta get out of here. Who else was pretty excited? Well, Logan was getting the interesting kind of like chat with the bros and they were kind of like hyping him up. They're like, you have every right to have fun. She was just making out with james a day ago but also really
Starting point is 00:28:07 weird from logan when kate they were all like meeting each other and kate was like um oh like did you like when did you come down like the first day he's like yeah the first day the water's warm if you want to go check it out yeah logan was just like yeah i don't really know these girls but then he kind of awkwardly was like beer's cold water's warm or whatever let's get in and make out i i in fairness to him i feel like i don't know you just say awkward things sometimes that just happen to play in victoria hilarious she's like i picked the wrong day to not wear makeup oh my god wet dog so relatable because um johnny asked her why do you look different today?
Starting point is 00:28:45 And she's like, I wasn't wearing makeup. Thank you. Thank you for that. But props to Victoria, a woman who not so long ago on Peter Weber's season is famously known for canceling her hometown. She literally got so worked up on her season that she just was like, no, I don't care if my family's inside. I'm not fucking going.
Starting point is 00:29:05 And she just canceled her hometown. And now she's the voice of fucking reason in paradise. She was the most chill of all the women when they first found out that they were leaving. And honestly, it seemed like she just wanted the AC. She clearly was not worried about Johnny. Victoria is stable. Which is shocking. It's shocking to watch. Like I'm literally watching Jill and Genevieve. They're having meltdowns. I'm like, they need a medic. Like they're actually so unwell. And seeing Victoria
Starting point is 00:29:35 just like, it's all good. Victoria is also just the best friend because she's like to Brittany. She's like, Brittany's crying. She's like, Brittany, he literally just told me that he likes you. He loves you. Like, don't worry, babe. Like he just told me he's going to Brittany. She's like, Brittany's crying. She's like, Brittany, he literally just told me that he likes you. He loves you. Like, don't worry, babe. Like, he just told me he's going to propose. Do not worry. No, the worst part was that Jill was like, I'm not packing these crystals. Like, whatever.
Starting point is 00:29:55 I'm going to leave them here, whatever. And she's like, no, bring them, bring them. And then it cuts to it later. She's holding the crystals. She's holding the crystals on the bed. While Jacob's just like. Making out in the hot tub. I'm like, this poor girl. And Victoria's like, bring the crystals. She's holding the crystals on the bed. While Jacob's just like. Making out in the hot tub. I'm like, this poor girl.
Starting point is 00:30:07 And Victoria's like, bring the crystals, babe. Bring them. She cursed her for sure. Yeah, those crystals need to be left in paradise. Obviously, you don't really see much of Johnny or Brandon just because they are kings in this episode. But I do love how Johnny was like, it's nice. You know, like, no eyes are on us it's like babe you're on a national television show like there are millions of eyes on you
Starting point is 00:30:28 do not worry about that yeah he is uh they they often forget that they are being recorded yeah he was yeah there's like yeah there's no one's there to watch us yeah he was uh he forgot about that anyways did we we loved did we love the Like, what else did we think about that? I just feel like the boys clearly had so much more fun with it than the girls. The girls weren't even talking to the guys. Yeah, I didn't really get that. And even the guys noticed that. They were like, well, how did we end up with the women that are like all in stable relationships?
Starting point is 00:30:57 I think Genevieve made a point to say, like, the more time that they spent with these men, the more they missed their men. So they were like okay like we're not interested in even trying this like i think rick looked at victoria and was like do you want to get on my shoulders and play chicken and she was like absolutely not i was so cringy yeah it's just awkward and like i feel like i mean i've watched other shows where like they do that where you know they'll separate them always the girls never flip like the girls will just they always say i don't know what it is i don't know why but the girls they just won't they feel attached so early on like they just you're committed to that route whereas guys are
Starting point is 00:31:36 just like oh like we're on holiday like whatever and so it's just it always ends up with the girls staying loyal and then they come back besides brit, besides Brittany and Sinead. Well, yeah. Yeah. Besides Brittany and Sinead. Yeah. Brittany, she was like going hard. Yeah. She was first crying over.
Starting point is 00:31:53 She was crying about her connection with Andrew. And then. The second she saw Tyler. Yeah. Tyler is Mr. Popular. Tyler is making the rounds. I feel like she'll change her mind. He was making moves.
Starting point is 00:32:04 And yeah, they were. That conversation was pretty aggressive. popular tyler's making the rounds i feel like she'll change her mind he was making moves and uh yeah they were that conversation was pretty aggressive only for him to go on a date with shanae and then britney was clearly upset so what do we what do we think of uh britney doing that i feel like she's testing the waters like i feel like what happens is like you switch right so they'll all go be with different people and when they come back together they're gonna see the person that they were just with and go right back to them like they're gonna just want that connection again so that's the sticky part it's just like now then all of them are going to be back together and then it's going to be like what do you do so like when it comes to the the
Starting point is 00:32:35 jacobs it was jacob shanae britney logan logan how do we do we feel kind of all fair in love and paradise type of thing or do we think someone should have had more loyalty? Like, should Jacob had more loyalty to Jill more than, say, Brittany and Andrew? Or are none of these relationships really all that established that we can criticize anyone for taking advantage of the situation presented to them i don't think they're very like i just think that they all contradicted themselves because they're all the women are crying to leave and then logan is like i'm scared to hold sarah's hand and then they're making out in the ocean it's like okay you're not scared yeah i think the guys are so worried about coming across as fuckboys like i honestly andrew i think andrew andrew has follow-through might not be a closer but he has follow through. And I think Andrew, like with Yesenia was just like, nah, like Brittany, I'm staking my claim. I don't know what she's doing, but I am not going to be making out with another woman and having Brittany come back wanting to date me. Like, I feel like that was top of Andrew's mind more than anything else. Like, I don't know if he's really into Brittany or just saying Andrew is a king for that.
Starting point is 00:33:47 Sure. Yeah, he is. Well, what if it's not necessarily genuine? I don't. So you're saying like if it wasn't like into just any of that much. I think I don't know who he likes the most. I just think I know he was more like, fuck it. I'm not.
Starting point is 00:34:00 I'm not going to risk it by being open to this new connection because I don't want to look disloyal. Yes. I don't want to look like a fuck boy i don't want to look like i'm i think i think andrew was smart enough to know that like this is a trap but like i'm being set up for a trap and i'm not fucking taking the bait where logan and like jacob jacob seems fairly gullible the only person who could have really shocked me would have been brandon like that's it like i don't know like i gotta imagine he would have been the only person that i would have been like i literally can't watch anymore like i'm done but as much as i don't i don't feel like jacob needed to stay not needed to stay as long as jill because like obviously they had a
Starting point is 00:34:36 good relationship but i don't know if i like expected that from him and also like if i were jill and i was butt naked on TV and like howled under a full moon with someone I wouldn't be also holding my crystals crying like I would be so upset at the fact that I just did that and then we howled at the moon naked on live television yeah you're gonna kiss another bitch and then like her bed was not even cold and he was like oh yeah so like that's a little tough to watch but But did he need to stay loyal? I don't know. Could he have waited some time?
Starting point is 00:35:08 I feel like Jill has a little bit of a right to be mad at Jacob. Yeah, very much a right. I mean, the whole holding hands, butt naked, back to back. I mean, that would have just by far ruined my life. Jacob's like that kind of like, I don't know, like he's a fuckboy because he's just, it's like he seems like he doesn't have really a mean bone in his body like jacob is just kind of like hey man tarzan like whatever man like whatever i'm naked i'll do push-ups but it's so it's he almost pulls it off being a fuck boy
Starting point is 00:35:35 because that's ultimately like he's just being a fuck boy right but he almost pulls it off how it's just like hey you know like whatever i'm Yeah. Let's just sit on each other's laps and get naked and straddle each other. But it's weird. He almost pulls it off. Do you think Jacob knows what he's doing? To a degree. But like I said, like, I feel like, I don't know, because if Jill was there, obviously she's like very like on the person she's with.
Starting point is 00:35:58 Like she is watching them. Like she's very like in tune, like going after them, making sure they're not speaking to anyone. So I don't obviously think he would be doing that if she was there. Now that she's gone, he's free to do whatever. But like when she comes back, will he regret that? I don't know. What we can discuss is every single time they show any male working out in the show, they are always doing the most insane workouts.
Starting point is 00:36:23 It is never a squat. I've never seen a push-up where they're suddenly flying through the air. And, like, they all did that. And multiple people were doing that. Right? Yes. I don't even know how that works. Like, where are the squats and the lunges?
Starting point is 00:36:33 Nope. And, like, mm-mm. Like, we're doing flying push-ups? It was so weird because it showed one clip of someone at, like, where the girls were. Like, one of the guys doing it over there. Polo was doing it. The jumping ones. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:43 And then it went back to the beach and someone was doing it on the beach. I'm like, well, why are we doing this? What's going on? They haven't even communicated. They don't even know. It's two separate men groups doing flying pushups. It was insane.
Starting point is 00:36:56 It was insane to watch. I do think Aaron was someone who pleasantly surprised, or not necessarily surprised me, but I think he handled the situation really well because he's someone who, by the Logan logic of like like I just watched Sinead make out with James so therefore I'm allowed to explore this connection like Genevieve did start out with Justin there was a period of time where she was entertaining both of them and Aaron really like held the line and stayed very loyal which I think showed me to like what a good partner he is for Genevieve because I
Starting point is 00:37:22 think Genevieve really needs someone who is like unvering, who's very careful in that way. Also, he called her Jen, which I thought was really cute. Do you think that speaks to his feelings towards Genevieve? Or does he just know that Genevieve, once he staked his claim, or once Genevieve staked his claim, that there was no... He's genuinely into her.
Starting point is 00:37:40 I've been impressed by Aaron this season. Yeah. I'll say. Okay. He's doing fine. I just don't really buy, I don't see a connection between the two of them other than they're both like, you're hot. I've been impressed by Aaron this season. Yeah. I'll say. Okay. Yeah, yeah. He's doing fine. Yeah. I just don't really buy, I don't see a connection between the two of them
Starting point is 00:37:48 other than they're both like, you're hot. Was that Aaron? I'm just like, what do you think they talk about? Great question. I would love to be a fly on the wall. I feel like they're adversaries. Like I feel like they only, like they really need to unite over like other people.
Starting point is 00:38:01 Yeah. Well, Genevieve, by her own admission, kind of overthinks. She's in her head a lot about stuff and maybe they're a match because Aaron is generally a man of few words.
Starting point is 00:38:11 At least he has been this season. It's been a lot of like, yo, and like, great. So maybe he just says just a little enough that he won't say something wrong for Genevieve to like overthink what he says.
Starting point is 00:38:21 He keeps it simple. I like you. How you doing? Let's make out. Maybe they're a match made. I don't know. He's's very touchy which that is what she did not get from justin so yeah she gets it from aaron yeah there's a lot of like yeah wanting to feel special talked about which i you know i get it but there's never it's always i'm no one's ever made me feel special like this no one's ever made me you know it's never like no one's ever made like they don't talk
Starting point is 00:38:42 about feeling loved they talk about feeling special all the time wanted and chosen and chosen which is like obviously the theme of paradise i kind of hate that for them but yeah they have no problem saying it like loud and proud i wonder if part of it though is just like acknowledging that it's there because even though i like listening to you talk hours and hours every week like have decided it's not necessarily right to want to feel chosen that doesn't mean it's easy to like undo the years and years of like conditioning well it's like even in a relationship you want to feel validated and even in a relationship you do want to feel special and you want to feel chosen but i don't think that should be the only thing you can say to
Starting point is 00:39:21 articulate what you're excited about and And it seems like that is what people say the most early on is, are those kind of oversimplified things that when you actually think about it, you're just like, well, what is that? The real question is like what insecurity comes out or gets activated when you don't feel chosen? Like that's a real piece of data. I think that's helpful for you. It's like, is it like an abandonment thing or whatever else yeah and and the and the point of which you haven't felt chosen yet and you're kind of getting to know them you know i think it just speaks to like the focus on being chosen or feeling special or evaluated before you even like have taken the time to learn something about them or decide whether you like them or decide whether like you're compatible or anything. It's just more like, you know, and like Sinead, like kind of genuinely, like it was
Starting point is 00:40:09 really quite endearing when she's just like, I've never felt so desired by people. Like that was a really genuine moment for her. But like at the same time, it was, it's just, I don't think she's really getting to know anyone. You know, she's not really forming any connections. It's just kind of, it was relatable in the sense where like when people go out there, it's just like, yeah, it's nice to feel wanted. And you go out there, you're on the apps and you're just like, I had five, I had, I went on five dates and I know that I could go on five more. Like they would all say yes to a second date. But like that doesn't answer whether you actually felt connected to any one of them, other than the fact that you know you could go on five second dates. And I just feel like that's kind of Sinead's focus right now, which I guess is fine if she's having fun, but it doesn't seem like she's really making any real connections with anyone. Yeah. Are there any couples that you can't stand or aren't rooting for?
Starting point is 00:40:56 Because I feel like there's so many ones that are obviously so wonderful and healthy. Are there any ones where you're like little red flags? There's none that I can't stand. There's some that i'm like i don't know if i like see that like i mean i know that shanae and tyler just made this connection i don't know take him to the boom boom room yeah like she was so ready like that whole scene was like cock blocking her i was like what is going on right now like this took a whole you know turn but i don't i don't know if I see them, like, further down the line.
Starting point is 00:41:28 I really like Brennan and Serene. What about Jill and Justin? I know Justin's gone. But, like, they both seem to, like, have mild meltdowns when they don't get what they want. Wow. Wouldn't that be a disaster? I'm going to give it a thumbs down. Yeah, I'm going to give two thumbs down to that as well.
Starting point is 00:41:43 Yeah. It could be so crazy. It just might work. Well, because like. That's what we said about Jacob and Jill, though. Yeah. I really can't. I just can't watch Aaron and Genevieve.
Starting point is 00:41:54 I really struggle with them. And I just think it's because Aaron last Paradise really cringed me out. And I just he can't recover from that for me. That's right. You do. I just. Big X. Just big X for me. That's right. You do. Big X. Just big X all around. I just can't do it.
Starting point is 00:42:10 You're in the minority there. Aaron's a big fan favorite. That's what I, yeah. A lot of people like the Aaron. I know. Sue me. Kate doesn't want to step on Jill's toes.
Starting point is 00:42:20 But she did. But baby did more. She loved it. She didn't step. She trampled. She straddled his toes. But she did. But baby did more. She loved it. She didn't step. She trampled. She straddled his toes. Period. I really respect Lace
Starting point is 00:42:29 for when she's having the conversation with the men and they're obviously being like, no, yeah, we're boys. We're bros. Like we can't.
Starting point is 00:42:36 Like boy code, guy code, we can't. We can't give you any info on Rodney. But how are my girls doing? And she's like, no, like you're not gonna, I'm not gonna tell you
Starting point is 00:42:44 anything about yours. Like what do you mean? I like that she stood her ground there. I do too. And if they're like, how are my girls doing? And she's like, no, like you're not gonna, I'm not gonna tell you anything about yours. Like, what do you mean? I like that she stood her ground there. I do too. And if they're like, how are the girls?
Starting point is 00:42:49 Like, do they miss us? And she's like, well, do y'all miss them? And they're like, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:53 Like, I like how she handled that situation. She really got fucked. Yeah. If one person was gonna go back and like,
Starting point is 00:42:59 just like, disrupt the whole thing, my money would've been on Jill, not Lace. Same. A hundred percent. Yeah, but you know why it
Starting point is 00:43:05 happened the way it did is because ronnie was on a date with eliza and yeah so producers just go out tour and say hey do you want to go back to the beach probably yeah would you like to see him would you like to check in i'm sure it was a little bit of like hey i'm freaking out i'm all i can think about is ronnie and there's like well we'll go let you see him you know but like what was really endearing about that is that you could tell like lace knew she was preparing herself for the setup she wasn't completely she she kind of knew when they were like she's like yeah i'm nervous i so i give her yeah i give her a lot of credit because she she's no rookie to this she knew there was a potential for this to happen but she still said fuck it she wanted an answer we always talk about people like
Starting point is 00:43:43 avoiding truce and not facing rejection and to lace's credit she was like you know what fuck it i'm gonna shoot my shot i'm gonna find out but at least i'll know we'll obviously see how it plays out when they have their conversation but i do think that she handled herself very well yeah yeah we'll see if she continues that continues that i mean it's such a crazy situation to like be put in like i i would a hundred percent i would freak out i don't know how well i would handle myself if i like it's only been one day you're gonna come back and he's coming up from a day i don't know it's just really defaulting hands and the way like you can tell he feels about eliza like you could just see it no it's so obvious so it's like and that's right in front of her. That's hard to deal with. I felt, I feel bad for her. And the environment down there is
Starting point is 00:44:28 always kind of high school-ish and like, everyone's kind of like that kind of like, and like, Lace is going to feel that type of like energy of everyone watching. Oh my God, I'm so embarrassed. Yeah, like the senior girl's about to get broken up with by your sophomore boyfriend. Yeah. It's gonna, it's that kind kind of energy it's also so tough that it's eliza because she's just like one of the most likable people i've ever seen on television like i think she just has this like radiance and i think she has this like positivity about her and i think it's so difficult to not have like flaws that you can kind of while you're in your like insecure rejection phase like be like and she's blah blah blah i was like what do you say about eliza like nothing they're also really cute on
Starting point is 00:45:09 their date or she she's like you're cute and he's like you're cute then he goes we cute no they're very cute yeah it's uh and yeah eliza like she's i'm assuming Eason, it would be a hard person to have someone not pick you over, if I said that right. Yeah, I mean, I'm assuming it was not easy for Lace to see him walking down, looking in love with her. I have a question, which is something that was kind of on my mind in the Jill and Jacob rose ceremony in the first place was like, okay, this feels like one of the couples where it's the way it shook out this week, but it doesn't seem seem if I were Jill, I would feel like giving my rose to Jacob is a little bit of a risk because he could jump ship, like as opposed to this like really established connection.
Starting point is 00:45:54 To what extent do you think you take when you're deciding who to give your rose to? Do you do kind of like someone who you feel like is more likely to be loyal or do you go for the more like exciting one who you think could potentially drop you down the line? Like safety school? I mean, at the end of the day, like you are getting engaged at the end of the show. So I feel like to go with the one that you think has the characteristics like loyalty
Starting point is 00:46:19 that you would want in a fiance and a partner for the rest of your life is probably the smarter way to go, in my opinion. But I don't think it's the way that they go. No, it's definitely not. Like choosing Jacob, I think is a little risky. Yeah. But, or Logan over James, when Sinead chose Logan over James.
Starting point is 00:46:35 Yeah, yeah. I thought that that was a little, I don't know. Like I think she went with excitement. Well, Sinead's the fuck boy in this episode. But before all that happened, like during the rose ceremony when she, she even said like James would be a great husband and great father, but Logan is like fun and exciting. Like I think she went with the more exciting one versus logically looking further down the road. James also not a closer.
Starting point is 00:46:58 Yeah. Oh, I also, I can't. I struggle with watching people kiss on television and I just can't watch James kiss along with Aaron. I really... My question is, they did their intro package together. What's it going to look like next week now that James is gone? What was their intro package? They're piggybacked.
Starting point is 00:47:17 Oh, yeah. Or they're just going to edit him out? Yeah. Where does he go? Where does he go? They'll do something clever. The artist formerly known as James. Yeah, they'll do... They the artist formerly known as james yeah they'll do they'll black like black and white him i loved how the show with jacob was what was his chiron
Starting point is 00:47:31 where they losing like melting down or something like that where someone said you know i know what you're talking about but i don't remember what it was yeah someone was like he's battling demons did they put jill's in the trenches in the trenches with her crystals with her crystals because Jill is in the trenches Jill needs a medic for sure Jill needs a medic
Starting point is 00:47:49 Jill is in the trenches and needs a medic I also love that like Brandon and Johnny are just like nowhere to be seen you know like they're just like
Starting point is 00:47:56 floating in the back yeah doing their thing I like that they were probably just told they're off limits yeah but we're gonna praise them because we don't know
Starting point is 00:48:06 that for sure. You never know. Totally. Well, Brandon, for sure. Johnny, for sure. So in the episode after James was sent home, Aaron is reading a book that says big facts by Aaron Clancy. They got him a whole new scene. Yeah. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:48:22 Interesting. I had to reshoot it. Interesting. Tina really likes Tyler, he said. Tina would let Tyler date his little sister. Wait, that says a lot about someone. That really does. Oh, but if you did have a little sister. No, he doesn't have a little sister. So it means a little less. It means less. But if you
Starting point is 00:48:38 had a sister, then you would be like, this would be more right. But it's imaginary. Tina would let his imaginary sister date tyler you know absolutely i'm gonna take it as a green flag a green flag i'm gonna note that what do we think of tyler he's definitely you've said to me that they love a tall man he's the exception to the rule he is a so cute and he's buff and ripped and very handsome. But just when he stands next to the Australian Olympic man.
Starting point is 00:49:09 Thor. Thor's body double. And then he says, no, he really is underneath it. Yeah. They were like, this is not a funny Chiron. Yeah. It says Thor's body double. And then it went underneath and it said, no, he really is.
Starting point is 00:49:21 No, you're kidding. Oh, really? He's Thor's body double. I'll pull out the IMDB, but that's what it said. That would be in my Instagram bio. That would be everywhere. Okay. And he can't get a fucking glance.
Starting point is 00:49:33 Yeah. And he's got an Australian accent. Yeah. What's wrong? What's. I just think they're in love. Here's what I don't understand. Why can't the guys.
Starting point is 00:49:41 I understand the, hey, do you want to get on my shoulders? That's not the move. That's a lot. Especially with Rick. Come on. It's like he's going to pass out if you get on his shoulders. He always looks like he just gave blood.
Starting point is 00:49:54 No, Rick is always... Him and Logan don't blink. I don't think I've ever seen Logan blink a day in his life. Logan for sure doesn't blink. Yeah. But why... He does not blink why could
Starting point is 00:50:06 any of those very attractive men just like go and talk what you know why don't they just don't try to go over and date them just go and like talk but i think the group of women we've got victoria fuller who she can be intimidating yeah and very intimidating britney and like all of these women being like what are you doing are literally souffy. They've been crying all day and night. They're like, hi, how are you? Like, I don't know. I just. Still tears running down their eyes. Yeah. I think these guys are reading the room. The other guys weren't. And I think these guys are. And they're like, we're going to stay. They're like, we don't know what to do. Like they're rejecting us. Yeah. I still think they could have tried to have. I think Logan would have tried to have a conversation.
Starting point is 00:50:46 Yeah. But I do think after Rick said that and Victoria was like, absolutely not. And gets up and leaves. He was probably like, well, I'm done here. Yeah. Those shoulders things was weird. Really weird. Yeah, really weird.
Starting point is 00:50:57 You lead with that. You want to get on my shoulders? If it was Tyler, it might be a little different of a story. So you want to put your crotch right on the back of my head. Chicken fight! I know we haven't spoken all day. But if you want to get on my shoulders, I'm here. I'm here.
Starting point is 00:51:14 Maybe if it was Thor's body double. He could put both of them up there. He's ready. He could fight each other on him. It makes no sense why Thor's body double is not getting any attention amen justice for thor he's is he a closer probably not i don't know he doesn't know anyone he's not an opener or a closer it didn't it didn't seem like bros he's he's a loner i yeah i think it's such a high school environment but not an opener period true i i i think it's the high school
Starting point is 00:51:43 environment of it where if you're if you're an outsider you're just like because also the guy from uh rachel's season oh yeah looking guy yeah very attractive and jill was even excited about him but then he's he's gorgeous you can't get a look they also showed a clip of him like sitting in a lawn chair and i think it was genevieve and she's like on her stomach snoring. Like sleeping. They're just, I just don't think these women are interested in playing this game.
Starting point is 00:52:08 It's unfortunate. They just want to be back on the beach. Yeah. But they all look so stunning because they're in AC with showers. This is a large suite too.
Starting point is 00:52:17 Massive. Yeah, they clearly, like they must have, like when they had their like girl chat, they clearly were told to get ready before the man.
Starting point is 00:52:24 Oh yeah, they look like they were on a typical cocktail party for The Bachelor. And like when the guy showed up, because I'm curious what was said between them that made him go, go put something on. Well, that felt like a really big thing about when the new girls were brought in is like, I feel like we got an interview moment from every woman being like, are you kidding me? Like they're made up and beautiful and I feel haggard. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:44 And for me, I don't, I was like, yeah like yeah for sure i can totally tell like why someone might think that but i was like i don't think there's a huge difference much of a difference like yeah yeah i think it's feeling it's feeling it's feeling the sweat also like you yeah the sweat they claim in like there's a freshness they probably had to like i think the beach. I think Victoria was like, they came in with their like blowouts and they're like full glam, but not a drop of sweat or a bug bite. You kind of give up after a few days on Paradise. You like, you choose to embrace it
Starting point is 00:53:14 because you've been with, you've been there with a bunch of people in the same environment. And so, yeah, I think the stress landed the way they wanted it to land. I hope they keep doing stuff like that. Yeah. Yeah. Do you know Temptation Island. I hope they keep doing stuff like that. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:26 Do you know Temptation Island? Yeah, I had a feel of that. Yeah, this is like Temptation Island, but without like the video sneak previews of what the other person is doing. Yeah, I love it. I hope they keep doing stuff like that. It's a good twist.
Starting point is 00:53:37 Is there, okay, if you could also add one other like reality dating show element to Bachelor World, like which one would you pick? That's such a you question keaton you know i watch so much well actually what i was saying was they're like on love island they do like where they split them up you know and they put them in different houses but they do this thing where they send a postcard so they'll send a postcard to the girl's house and it'll be images of their guys but like some of them will be like on dates some of them will just
Starting point is 00:54:04 be like random hugging and it like makes the woman absolutely lose their mind. But like they can't go back for five more days. So they're just like sitting there with this postcard and they're like,
Starting point is 00:54:12 who is that? They get like little snapshots. Did you imagine it? Snapshots. It's like be real. Yep. Could you imagine if Jill got a postcard of Jacob making out
Starting point is 00:54:22 and with Sarah, no, Kate straddled on him we got Logan making out in the beach yeah it was a beautiful shot too like could you just imagine them getting them receiving that postcard yeah they do that which would be absolutely insane and a worse version of that is they have movie night and they basically when everyone comes back together there's different titles like on a huge screen and they pick which so like the title would be like shanae goes wild or like something like that and you'd be like oh what is that about and they all vote on the title they click it and it's a clip of like what they were doing when your
Starting point is 00:54:54 person was gone they do that on love island so like you can choose and you can see it's even worse because it's like you're watching the show while you're there and you're like, this is rough. That's dirty. That would be rough. We should do that. It makes them absolutely go insane. It's wild. It's good TV, but yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:13 Lace and Rodney should have never happened. The weird thing, though, is that it happened with no resistance. Well, Jill was gunning for Rodney. He went for a drink and Lace... Lace was like, I'm going to take you. Rodney's like, okay. Lace was like a shot. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:55:28 Yeah. They, uh, they helped out Rodney. Cause yeah. What do we think of he's, he technically didn't do anything wrong. Right. Like, did they even have to have, they even had a date Lace and Rodney. It's all, I just feel so bad because Lace said he didn't kiss me goodbye when we left. And I know that's one of those things where it's like, you just, of course, you're going to cling to it
Starting point is 00:55:45 because it's one of the few pieces of information you have when you're suddenly in the dark. But I just think that's so difficult being like, oh, no, I was maybe picking up on a vibe. Like, I was right. Like, whenever you were right, your anxiety was right, it's, like, so dangerous. Because then any time in the future, like,
Starting point is 00:55:59 well, I was right about that one thing. So we're counting kisses? No. So we're counting... No, I agree. Justin. So we're counting kisses? No. So we're counting. No, I agree. Justin. So we're counting kisses now? She was like, how fucking dare you?
Starting point is 00:56:09 She was livid. I was like, nothing counting the kisses. But like, as you should. As you should. Like, it makes sense. Count your kisses. Count your kisses, y'all. Ladies.
Starting point is 00:56:19 Count your ladies. Ladies. This is a PSA. Count your kisses. Count your kisses. And if you don't, you never know. He could be gone. I feel like The Bachelor is single-handedly carrying the tantric yoga industry.
Starting point is 00:56:33 Oh, absolutely. I'm sure there is a niche group of people who are lovers long before The Bachelor will be long after. But in terms of mainstream presence, the only time I hear tantric yoga is on The Bachelor. Is on The Bachelor. They love that date. Maybe this is a weird question. Would you do that on a date like would that be a fun date for you ever no ever like a guy on hinge was like you know what we're gonna do tonight no no with like your boyfriend of like a few like over a year i've been dating brandon for four years and if he asked me today to go to tantric yoga with him i would literally be like are you insane absolutely
Starting point is 00:57:06 i just but also that's like a personality thing i don't know probably like it sounds fun it sounds fun but i feel like once we got there and they're like okay now lift her on top of your head i'd be like we have to go like absolutely not you know what i take it back if he was really like passionate about like if it was something that he was like, I really want to try this out. He's literally winking at me from the other room. But if he was like, I really want to try this out. Like, babe, we have to do this.
Starting point is 00:57:34 Then yeah. But like. Honestly, I'd be different if you had like an instructor come to the home as opposed to like a Groupon class situation where you'd have to be there with another random couple next to you. Oh my God. So rough. Honestly,
Starting point is 00:57:46 I just need like Colleen Hoover to write about it in a book and maybe I'll think it's hot. And then I'll think it's great.
Starting point is 00:57:51 What is the cringiest bachelor dates, common bachelor dates that would be cringy in real life? I think, I feel like they're all pretty.
Starting point is 00:57:57 Maybe jumping naked. Howling at the moon. I mean, okay, here's my thing. Are there any not cringy ones? If it's, as long as it's dinner and the horse. Okay, here's my thing. Are there any not cringy ones? As long as it's dinner.
Starting point is 00:58:06 Like riding on the horse is fine. Like that's cute. That's not cringe. The ATVs that Victoria did. Okay, fun. Love that. This isn't Paradise. This is like Bachelor or Bachelorette.
Starting point is 00:58:16 But the shopping date, it's both unbelievably cringe in real life, but then also unbelievably like. Awesome on the back. Iconic. But it's clear. It's cringe in real life. Oh, I mean,
Starting point is 00:58:28 not for me. Baby, do you want to do that? I'd be absolutely down. I feel like it's cringe. The reason I said that was because I was like, it feels very cringe to be like,
Starting point is 00:58:35 I would love that. No, no, no. It's not cringe. We're settling this down. There's a fight. Not cringe. No. No, didn't.
Starting point is 00:58:45 Who was it? Clayton that got Susie like the Louboutins. Wasn't that Clayton's season? Yeah, Louboutins go with that dress. That's happened a few times, but yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:51 Like Rachel Kirkconnell got Louboutins. Rachel Kirkconnell and Susie both got the big shopping. And they never do it for the men. What about the men
Starting point is 00:58:58 going to Brooks Brothers? Wait, do you get to do it? I love a good Louboutin. Corinne kind of took me on one but that was her own budget the girl who's never seen your season knows that nick has been on a date yeah like that i have but yeah it was different it wasn't i knew i felt uncomfortable uh her taking me shopping you gave some of it back no yeah yeah you just also like don't love gifts true so yeah i feel like that like all in all it
Starting point is 00:59:25 was just a nightmare for you but i would but if the show if i knew the show was taking me on a shopping spree i would have loved it right yeah but not someone spending money on me it'd be uncomfortable it's awkward keen did we cover all your notes yes except for i need to uh i have a bone to pick with you oh oh okay i told your ears. I told Natalie, I texted her and I said, it's interesting that Nick went on his podcast, talked about how much he loved Harry Styles. He went to, you know, a festival and, you know, Harry changed your life. Changed your life.
Starting point is 00:59:58 Changed your life, right? We all heard that. Yep. And you will not pick a Harry Styles date to get tickets. And Natalie said. To go to his concert. You won't pick a harry styles date to get tickets and natalie said to go to his concert what you won't pick a date pick a date you won't pick a day it's up to you why is it up to me i sent you the screenshot that keaton she said she said take a date take it i got a no response i said a day right now he's not interested in going i think he's a fake fan i think he's a
Starting point is 01:00:21 fan too i think that he you know he proclaimed his love for harry god everyone I think he's a fake fan too. I think that he, you know, he proclaimed his love for Harry. God, everyone would think he loves him. He told everyone the story of him running. He's like, I know him personally. Tina, did you get that story? Nope, you didn't. Interesting. Remind me to never get on your guys' bad sides. That was terrifying. I never want to be on the receiving end
Starting point is 01:00:40 of that. Of what? What just happened? Me cornering him. One of them talking and the other one going, mm. Why not? I told Natalie, I'm like, well,
Starting point is 01:00:49 I would really like to buy Harry Styles tickets. Like, you know, I don't want to wait. And she's like, well, you need to ask Nick about it.
Starting point is 01:00:54 And I'm like, okay, yeah. And she's like, ask him on the pod. I think we should go on Friday, October 28th.

Starting point is 01:01:17 Why don't we just do a Friday? He's here for like 15 days. Why wouldn't we rather do a weekend? Destiny's got something to say back there. Oh, so it's not just my call. Well, I asked Natalie and she said, I'm going to have to ask Nick. It's not pick a date, Nick.
Starting point is 01:01:30 Y'all are watching a live fight. I'm not. Because this feels a lot like I'll eat anywhere. And then I start making recommendations and it's like, And it's like, no. I don't want that. I don't want that. Ren, you know something about this?
Starting point is 01:01:45 He doesn't even know he's going, but he's going. He doesn't even know what's happening. All right. He also doesn't know what he's going to be for Halloween. Oh. What are you being for Halloween? Wait, that's, yeah, a fun note to go out on. Well, now that I have red hair.
