So here we go. Happy birthday, Jack. We love you so much. [♪ OUTRO MUSIC PLAYING [♪ Up next is Rachel, Ruckia, AKA Powlett Rachel. Hey girl. I'm so excited.

Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. I'm so excited to have you on the podcast. Thank you guys so much for doing this. Okay, first off, how did you become the Bachelorette? Honestly, so insane. I really feel like at least for me, the only way I became a lead is by not wanting to be it. Because I wanted to end up with the Bachelor. I was so all-in. I think the world watching me and Gabby truly just get so heartbroken. It resonated with them.

They wanted to see us find happiness. So we did it away together. But yeah, no, honestly, it didn't end the way it traditionally does, but I have like no regrets and I loved my experience. What was it like as a bachelor red, you had to share that moment with somebody else. If you're on a dating show, it's already a huge competition, and it's like, you feel like you might be so in love. And then you're also in a competition. So what do you do? But also, you are being the main bachelorette sharing that part with someone else.

Did you feel like you were consciously compared to each other? Were you dating guys at the same time? Did you have resentment to each other? I just need all the tea. I really feel like this could not have happened if me and Gabby were not the bachelor, right? It's like we are such girls, girls. We always put each other first.

Like even on the bachelor, we always put each other's feelings before anything. And that was kind of the main way we got through it. And we always say, and to the state, like I could not have done it without her. Wow, that's awesome. I don't know how leads do it on their own. It's so isolating.

Yeah, I have a question. Oh, wait, yeah. She has a question. Do you feel like that hurt you? Honestly, no. Like looking back at the way it went, it's not that there was two of us. I just think Gabby and I's person wasn't there.

Like looking back, it just, that's the way it was. Did you guys like date the same people the entire time though? Like, I just wanted to know, like, how does that work? I know. It's like, everybody like, even me, I'm like, how does, how the hell does this work? Truly, to this day, we were all figuring it out on the fly. And I think people think that the producers, like, we all had a plan. We were all just going with it. And I think, so we did date the same guys

for like two weeks, which I will say in a way that might have hurt both of us because the guys were very just floating in between the both of us didn't want to pick a side. So eventually we just kind of came to a day where we're like, right, you're either team guy or you're team Rachel, we naturally liked different people. So that was nice. That's good. Because like, what if you guys had liked the same guy? So we had like one guy

that we both kind of liked, like we both were like, I like him, you liked him. Did you got to talk to each other like behind the scenes and we're like, what the hell do we do? That's a thing. They never really showed me in her talking. We talked about every little detail that was on there. That's good to know. Yeah, so at the time I was like, hey, I really want to pursue this. What do you think? And she was like, go for it.

And then eventually he decided he wanted to like, try and see if things would work with her. But we talked about that too. We talked about everything. So that's awesome. Like you're truly a girls girl. And thank God she was too. That you could have been with somebody who was like, I don't care what she thinks. You know

to me, it would have been good TV. It would have been good TV. But like personally, and like what you went through as a individual, that would have been so hard. I can imagine. I really can. Are you happy that you were able to be like the bachelorette? It is such an honor. Like, it changed my life so much. I'm so happy I got the experience. I don't regret it at all. But obviously, you know, didn't work out the way,

you know, it showed up, but who knows? Like, you never know what the future holds. I mean, I feel like you are amazing. You know, I love you. I've told you a million times, and I love this new, higher trip. Like, and also you're a pilot. That is so interesting to me.

And like, how did you decide that you wanted to be a pilot? I just need to know this, really fast, because like, that's such an interesting career choice for a woman, because I know it's so male. Like, it's way more like men are pilots, I feel like. So I'm sure as a woman, you felt like, I don't know, I don't know what I'm trying to say, but you know what I'm being like. It's just such a male driven job, I feel like.

So as a woman, that's just like an amazing thing to see, you as a pilot. Like I freaking love that. I love that. No, really, honestly, I think there are a lot of careers you can have, and then you can have like a calling, like something that you just were kind of born, no, you were going to do like, I remember being young and being like, I'm going to be a pilot. And I used to have

teachers and they would be like, oh, like, you could be a flight attendant, you could be this and like, my dad, he was the main one and he'd like, no, you could be a pilot. And I think a lot of people don't even know it's a career path in general. Yeah. But women really just never think that that's an option. They think you have to be in the military. But I love the fact that I can kind of shine light on that. I love that. I think you one could do it. Like literally anyone can do that.

I love that. Like you are an inspiration to so many people out there. I'm sure who had that same dream. So that's like an amazing, and that's why I want to like call it out. And like because I think it's so inspiring that you did that. And, you know, I'm sure you had to hold your own and like, be like, I am just as good.

And like, because yeah, like, it's just a whole thing. But I do want to know. Okay. So from the last thing that we all know from the Bachelor of the Year, you're still single. Who can I start you up with? Ooh, that's good. Lori, do you have any ideas?

What about Tom Schwartz? Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Tom Schwartz, well, I'm not in the friend group. Let's see. So, I mean, Tom Schwartz, call me.

Oh my God! I was just gonna say that's not nice to say because of Katie, but yeah, you're right girls girls We are yeah, but you're not in the friend Tom Schwartz can handle you honey Oh my goodness, I'm just like I think think that you are such a catch. And you are absolutely beautiful. Your body is freaking banging. A lot of people, actually, this is a question from the fan. It is from at KYR Dixon is Rachel Dating,

and we need breast reduction updates. So, you know, I'm definitely wanting to date, definitely open to it. Reduction updates, I'm, I think it's four months post-op now. It literally has changed my life. Best decision I ever made, I would do it a million times over, like truly the way I can exercise the way I live my life has just been changed forever. So amazing. And they look good.

So they look great. I got to her boobs. I'll solve it all. I show every one. I really do. Like they look amazing. And I'm so happy for you. I think that everybody should just do whatever they want to do to make themselves feel good

about their bodies. Like it should not matter what you know what I mean. We were talking about that earlier too. It's like a whole thing. Like, whatever makes you happy, do what makes you happy as an individual. Don't worry so much about everybody else's opinions. Do what makes you happy, guys. Okay, from Jackson.

Okay. If you could hop on any other reality TV show, which one would it be and why? Okay. from Jackson. Okay, if you could hop on any other reality TV show, which one would it be and why? Okay, survivor. I'm a huge survivor fan, and I just would wanna see if I could do it. Yeah, just to challenge myself. Yeah, because I'm not like a camping girl,

but like how fun would it be? Like do those puzzles? Like, and oh my God, stand on one foot, like on a log. I would just love it. I would put a lot of time. I tag Jeff Probe's in all my posts to try to get on the survivor. Like, put me on, put me on.

I literally do. All right, put her on Survivor Guys. All right, speed round, you ready? Okay. Favorite reality show and favorite reality star of all time. Okay, Survivor and Parvity. Oh, she's like the best, like girl dark feminine energy. Love her.

Love that. Slavery hall pass. Joe Burrome. Ooh, okay. Biggest regret while on TV. Um, missing a nail while I was crying in Iceland. I'm missing a nail straight up missing one long acrylic and I can't unsee it.

That is the worst whenever you lose a nail, it's a big moment, like that sucks. So it's the best advice for other couples. Well, I don't think I'm one to give advice. Honestly, I need couples to give me advice. So, well, what do you have, Brett? Shh. I'm meeting them all the best.

Well, I'm coming. I don't know. I think just like working with each other and like giving, and like it's all like you have to work with each other. Does that make sense? Totally. It has to be a lot of giving and getting. Exactly. It's all about effort.

What's one question you wish I asked you today? And how would you have answered? I wish, Brett, would ask me if I wanted to take another tequila shot because the answer is always yes. Yes. Oh my God. Thank you Rachel. I freaking love you. Thank you so much.

Up next is the beauty Serena Pitt. Hey girl, thank you so much for coming on. And having me all the way over across from the room. Thank you so much for traveling over here in Sydney.

From the chair. No problem. It was a long way, but I'm happy to be here. Oh my gosh. So, you are getting married to Grushry Joe. That's how everybody knows the record line. You know what Grushy married already. Yeah.

Oh my gosh. You are married. You are married. You are married. Yeah. But you are getting ready to have your wedding. Yes. Correct.

Oh my gosh. How excited are you? What advice would you give to other couples who are planning a wedding? Oh gosh, I'm very excited. I'm at the point where I feel like all the big decisions have been made. So we can really just start to look forward to the day, which is really nice. Wedding planning is hard. And it's honestly, I feel like everyone tells you that, but like until you go through it,

it's hard to realize how much it is Like it's really a lot. We were very fortunate to have a wedding planner and I think if that's something in your means I highly recommend it. Oh, yes. It took so much stress and pressure off of our plate because at the end of the day Like you only hope to plan one wedding in your life. It's a lot to learn to do once. These people do it for a career. Like they have so much information and knowledge that I would just never have had. And yeah, just research, listen to your friends, talk to people, get as much information as you can

if you don't have a wedding planner. Like talk to people that have planned weddings. I guarantee you, you can get free tips from your friends and family on what they wish they did and didn't do. But at the end of the day, like you have plan what's going to be best for you also. So it's like listening to the tips and advice from the people around you, but also being able to be like, what is really a fit for us?

Because I feel like there's such a traditional wedding format. But you have to figure out what suits your personality and represents you best as a couple. At 100% agree, and I love that. You moved from Toronto to New York City for Joe. And how long were you guys together before that? Because I'm not judging. I moved from Kentucky to LA after like two and a half, three months. Did you really?

Yes. To move on with Jackson. So how long were you with Joe before you decided to move to New York from Toronto and like how did that affect your life? Was it a huge culture shock? Is like New York City is like insane. Oh yeah. Even converted L.I. I think it's insane. So yeah. Like how was that for you? Um no it was great. I mean we were together on the show for like, yeah, 19 days. And then, that's my day. 19 days. And then, June, I'm trying to thank.

And then, Joe signed the lease in the following April. So I don't know if that's what, 10 months, I think, that we were together before we got the place. And yeah, we're there most of the time. That's kind of our home base. I'm still like bouncing back and forth to Toronto a lot Which is wonderful because I'm a Canadian gal But we love New York like we're both city people. Yeah, you grew up in Chicago. I grew up in Toronto

We're East Coast city people so as much as it was a culture shock We are obsessed with it. We're people that want to go out to eat We don't mind not having a car. We love walking. Like the energy of the city is just everything we wanted. And I feel like I hadn't spent that much time in New York before he got the place there. But enough that I was like, yeah, I'm pretty sure, like it's gonna work.

We're gonna like it. But it was still like Joe didn't live in New York. No, neither of us had loved New York. That was like a brand new experience for both of you. Oh wow, that's interesting. Yeah, we wanted somewhere that was neutral. We didn't want to feel like we were immersing ourselves I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it.

I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it.

I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it.

I love it. I love it. I love it. I love gosh, I'm so happy for you guys. So I know that you guys have a big age gap, right? If that's 12, we're 11 and a half years. 11 and a half years. What are you guys? 10 years. 10 years.

So I get it. Do you think that the age gap causes any issues or do you think it's good? How does that affect your relationship? So I say the two times that we notice it the most, I'm curious if you feel this as well, is pop culture reference is, because what we grew up watching and listening to

was totally different. Yes. And I would say when we hang out with his friends versus my friends, the like it's just a different dynamic of like his friends are married and have homes and a lot of them have children, whereas my friends are some of them still live at home. I mean, you're 25, you're a young man. I'm the only friend with a husband.

But it's great. Honestly, we say we balance each other out because he's like, I'm so immature and he thinks I'm mature for my voice. That's what I was going to say is that. He's immature. That's what I was going to say is that even though, like me and Jack's, I'm just putting my part into this. Like even though me and Jack's have a 10 years age difference, like we have to have that because guys are so freaking. I've been telling all my friends like,

our so older, like whenever like my 25 year old friends, guys are so freaking- I've been telling all my women are so- Women are so- Yeah. Whenever my 25 year old friends are like, oh yeah, I'm talking to this 24 year old, I'm like, no, it's not gonna work out. No. And it's very rare to that work out. Very rare.

They're 10 years. It can't be exception. There are 20 something year old men that are mature. Like I'll give them the credit. But my female friends are so successful and have so much going for them. And I just feel like they are moving at a quicker speed in life than a lot of,

not all my male friends, but just a lot of the men our age. And one of my best friends is dating a guy that is a few years old and she's notorious for dating a young fun guy. And she's like, oh my god, it's literally night and day. And I was like, I've been telling you, you're missing out. Dating up is a way to go.

If you're looking for something serious. I agree. Most of the time. I agree. If you're looking for fun, maybe younger, but I'm just kidding. Older, fun too. It's all amazing. But I agree with you.

I feel like it's just, you don't even notice the age difference. For me and Jack, I do not even feel like he's 10 years older than me. But you know what I mean? When you met him, were you all freaked out by the age difference or did it not even face? No, I didn't even know. And I think that he might have locked in me up first

and told me like his wrong age. Like, I think he told me it was like 34 or something when we were first. So Joe, Joe, instead, he was like, I assumed because I was 23 when we batten gotten to each. Did you guys mate on? I mean, we met on the show for the first time. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like, we'd never spoken before. Yeah. So he was like, I assumed you were probably like 25 and I had assumed he was like 3031. So we in our minds were like, oh, we're like five, six, maybe seven years apart. And then when we found, we actually said our ages, I was like, oh, we're like a big age difference. Or bigger than I had had envisioned for who I was gonna end up with. But really, it doesn't really matter.

It doesn't matter. Did your family and friends and everything, did they all like, do they care about the age difference? Or was that like as something that you had to struggle with? I think they maybe were like, oh wow, he's a lot older than you, and like thought about it more until they met him. You know what I mean?

Cause my friends are like, you know, you're picturing someone like so much older and ahead of us that's gonna come to like the bar with us. Yeah, yeah. But he's like, he gets so on-group, and then once you get to meet them and know that person,

the age does become just a number. Like you see this label of like name, age, height, wherever you're born, whatever, and then you meet this person, all that kind of dissolves away, and it's just like this is who they are. And as long as you can connect with them, like, and truly like a 25 year old,

like my 25 year old friends, and my 37 year old husband, like, are still able to connect with each other and find things and come and get along. That's all I care about of course and I oh my gosh I think that you guys are the cutest couple and I've met Joe a couple times and he is so Not like that's a great man. Yeah, like I'm so happy for you guys And I just feel like you guys are gonna be the happiest both beautiful couple

You and Abigail are obviously very close both beautiful couple. You and Abigail are obviously very close, but you guys were on the same season. You guys both were what Matt, Matt, right? Yeah, okay. So you guys both were on the season for Matt. So how does that happen? Like how how like are you guys at first like in competition with each with each other on the show and then become friends. Like I just, I feel like everybody watching is like, like how do the girls not want to call each other's eyes out because you're all fighting for the same guy. Right? Abigail definitely tried to physically fight me

multiple times. What? No, I'm kidding. Oh my God, sweet ass Abigail. So I think, you know what, you, like people don't really get to see is you spend so, so, so much more time with the girls than you do with whoever the bachelor is. And I do think there's definitely girls that do want to call each other's eyes out.

And it isn't always easy all dating the same guy. But you really just form friendships with these people. And I think the best way to do is just like compartmentalize. These are my friends. That's the guy I'm dating. You're not gonna think about the crossover that's happening here. Yeah, but like if you're both hooking up with the same person, like isn't that weird? Of course it's weird.

There's nothing normal about that, yeah. But you just have to like, if you know, he was kissing Abigail in front of me, I would just look away. Like I don't want to see that, you know what I mean? Oh my god, this is so weird. I just love getting all the tears to see that, you know what I mean? Like, that's so good. This is so good. I just love getting all the tears. It's a weird thing because I just know everybody knows jealous person.

Like, I do not go on the bachelor. Yeah, I would be on the bachelor. Anyone listening, do not go on the bachelor on the bachelor and if you're jealous, is hell. The thing, too, is I think it really only gets harder like way, way later on when there's like deep, deep connections and feelings involved. And then neither of us obviously ended up with him. So then it's like, oh, well, who cares?

Like, we sure an ex, but whatever. I love that. And you guys are like, everybody here is just so amazing. I'm so glad I got to know you guys more on this trip. It's been a pleasure to be with you guys. We're going to go into our fan question. Okay. This is from at Mishka Bryant.

How did you know that he's the one? I'd love to hear answers married or not. Okay, I'm trying to think. I knew, oh my god, it's such a bad answer, but you do just kind of know. And I do think that it comes down to Jonah or talking to the other day. Like, you're not always going to, like, we're very lucky to

have found someone that is such a perfect fit. And it really is so easy. And that's not to say we don't put work into our relationship, but the work is easy. It's like work we want to put in because we love spending time together and we love being together. And I just think when you find that, like, I think a lot of relationships can feel like square peg ground hole where you're like kind of trying to make something fit or like, you know, you're like, okay, this fits 90 percent. I'll just put in a little extra work to make it go

all the way because I'm going to choose to make it work with this person. But for him and I just felt so natural, so easy. I really trusted him. I really respected him. I just fell in love with him so easily. And yeah, that's just been like a continuing theme throughout our whole relationship. I love that. Okay, question from Jack's, ready? Yeah.

If you think I would know what I was going to say, I don't get to know what the question is. And I've heard it asked through. Oh, no. If you could hop on any other reality TV show, which one would it be and why? Okay, not to piggyback off, but I also genuinely would say dance with the stars.

It just looks like so much fun. And I feel like everyone ends up in amazing shape. It's where it's fun, cute costumes, Joe was on it, so I've heard about how amazing it is. Oh, Joe was on dance with the star. Yeah, I didn't know that. What is it? It's at my final. Oh my god, I should have gone watch.

So I'm sorry, because I need to. His friend has pulled it up for me before. That's awesome. OK, speed round, you ready? OK, no, but yes. All right, ready? Fast questions, fast answers. Favorite reality show, and favorite reality star of all time.

OK, favorite reality show, during the pandemic, my sister and I binged a bunch of seasons of the challenge and I was so addicted, it's so good. Favorite reality star of all time, Groustar Joe. Ha ha ha ha ha. Celebrity Hall pass. Michael B. Jordan.

Oh, I love him. So, for good luck. Or Chris Pine too. I think he's also hot. Yeah, they're both hot, but Michael B. Jordan. Oh, I love that. So, for good boy. Or Chris Pine, too. I think he's also hot. Yeah, they're both hot. But, Mark B. Jordan's on my list. Yeah, he's pretty good. Biggest regret while on TV.

Oh, I made a couple weird fashion choices on both my season. And then I looked back on, and I was like, what is going on here? Oh my gosh, I feel the same way. Some of it, some like slay slay. You look amazing. Some I'm like, Serena, like, were you blackout drunk when you dressed yourself that morning? The first time I was everyone watching happens live, I like it was just the worst thing I've ever

seen. Anyways, best advice for other couples. Prioritize having fun together. Good. I think it's important to like make memories and do things that are fine and make you both happy. Oh, that's great advice. Okay, last one. What's one question you wish I had asked you tonight and how would you have answered? Well, Lori KPR has trained me well. So, Brittany, I wish you asked me where can listeners find me? Oh, yeah. And would you have my Instagram,

Serena underscore? Yes! Love and on the Happy Hour podcast, which Joe and I are newly hosting. Oh, yes! All right, newly hosting. Ooh, yes. All right, thank you so much, Serena. Thank you, guys. We are such a pleasure to have you. Thank you so much.

We have the beautiful, the sweet, the amazing Abigail. I'm so excited to have you on. You are just a pleasure to be around. You are such a sweetheart. Your inspiration to so many people, I will say watching you on Instagram

being so open about your hearing impairment and things like that are like, it's incredible to see. And I just hope that you know like how amazing you are. And I just want to know with everything you've gone through, being on a show like the Bachelor, where there was so much stuff going on, like how was that for you in particular like dealing with everything that you have to deal with like how How was that for you? Well first off you're so sweet. I love you

But honestly like when I went on the show it was the first time I'm really ever talked about my hearing loss publicly And I feel like it actually ended up being the perfect environment too, because I was always so scared to talk about it because I don't like being the center of attention. I know that's weird to say going on a TV show, but I feel like there was so many things going on the first night, like there was Queen Victoria,

there was Katie with the vibrator, there's so many things going on. I feel like, yeah. The first night. So I was like, yeah. The first night. So I was like, honestly, I feel like this is the perfect time for me to say this is what's unique about me and I didn't feel too different about it. But honestly, I've loved being able to share my story.

I always appreciate people like you, especially, saying how you resonate with my story, and listen to it, appreciate it. And yeah, I just hope to keep doing it. I mean, I love your videos that you do with Noah too. Like they're just amazing. You're like doing your hair and you're talking about everything. You're being so open and so real.

And I think that's so important to be so real and be who you really are. And I just absolutely admire you for that. And I think that you were absolutely amazing. I just want to know what made you decide to go on the Bachelor in the first place? So I was asked when you felt at the show. I know a lot of girls go on and they're like,

oh, I have people nominate me. Listen, it's good that you're open and honest at the fact that you're like, I want to be on the show. I'm like, nobody wants me to go on. I apply myself. I wanted to go on. But honestly, the reason I applied, like, I'm like, nobody wants me to go on. I apply myself. I wanted to go on. But honestly, the reason I applied, so it was during COVID, I hadn't been planning jobs.

Obviously, I was for a little during COVID. And I was on my computer looking for jobs and an ad for the Bachelor team on TV and it was Matt James. And I was like, oh, Matt James is the next bachelor. Do you want to apply and like date the next bachelor? And I was like, oh, guys, really the next bachelor. Do you want to apply in late date the next bachelor? And I was like, oh, guys, really hot. Okay, I have nothing else going on in my life. I'm single, I have no job, I have no prospects.

Like, nothing. So apply. And one thing led to another. And I end up on the show that months later. Amazing. Are you so happy that you didn't? So happy. Honestly, I look at my life back when I apply.

And honestly, I was happy with my life, but it was a lot of like snacks or like, I know there's something bigger for me. And then going through the show as scary as it was, it's honestly the most liberating thing. I did. I was like, you know what? I was so scared of speaking publicly

or people's opinions. And I feel like once you go on reality TV as weird as it is, it makes you feel like you can do anything. Yeah, I mean, it's scary to go on reality TV in general because I'm sure you know you've been on for 10 years. I mean, people judge you so hard. And it's different than anything else, because it's just, I feel like for reality TV,

it's just such a different involvement with people and how they judge you and how they react to things that you're doing. But I just want to know, because you're with NOAA. I am. And you guys are so freaking cute. Thank you. Do you see you and Noah getting married?

And how did you know that he was the one? I mean, obviously. Obviously, if you enter the first one, you know he's the one, but still. What do you see for your future with Noah? I mean, I don't want to jinx anything, but I absolutely see us getting married. It's something we talked about even when the show was airing, we were talking about that

future for us. And I just knew he was the one because I'm sure you know, like when you're dating someone in the public eye, I feel like the biggest fear is like, okay, it's someone different than the art on screen and then once the camera's off the flip goes off or whatnot and the fact that Noah was just through me with so much even when the cameras were off. I know like the that seems like the bar so low, but just a fact that like he was exactly how he was on camera for a year, two years after I'm like, wait, this bubble's not game burst. Like he truly is the perfect guy and everything

you guys I freaking love you guys you are so beautiful we love you with jox so the obsession is the ritual thank you thank you okay so if you were to get married okay what would your dream wedding look like so I was actually talking about this with the girls in the pool today and I honestly ended up on, have you seen like father at the bride? Like the whole like early 2000s rom-com, like backyard wedding, just, I think there's something about it to me

where I think my life has been so crazy in the last two years and I'm not saying it to me where I think my life has been so crazy in the last two years. And I'm not saying all of it superficial, but a lot of it has been trying to get the perfect shot, trying to get the perfect outfit, everything. And I think the reason that no one I truly are such a good match is at the end of the day, we grew up the same way where it's we grew up so simple. We truly just grew up the same way where it's we grew up so simple. We truly just grew up with like good family values. All we care about is just being in love, being married,

starting a family. And I just want our wedding to reflect that. Like I don't need a hundred thousand dollar wedding. Truly, if we got married with nothing in our backyard, besides like our family and friends, cheap ass chairs, just like, we brought some wine. Oh yeah. Go to the courthouse, it's like $30. Oh really? Serena. Just like anything, I think honestly,

at this point in my life, I don't need anything. I just want to be married to him. Like that's all I care about. But I freaking love that. Like I care about but I forget love that Like oh my gosh, I think that that is absolutely amazing and I want to ask you like one of the same questions I asked arena you guys both went on the show or Kind of like competing for the same man and you guys became very close I can see me from the show

So on your side like how does that happen? Like, how are we competing for the same guy? And became such close friends. Like, because I feel like any girl that's watching it is like, it's a competition. And obviously, everybody gets super competitive. And it's like, but you obviously are very close and good friends to each other. So like, I just want to know, like, what about the two of you like brought you guys together and you know From your side she said her side, which was a yeah, I just want to know what you think So I think obviously it's different for everybody

But I think the reason I was able to be really close with a lot of girls is at the end of the day I really didn't have like Back to the connection with Matt. Obviously I thought he was hot. We hit it off the first night But we really didn't have like a deep Kinect. So I spent so much more time with the other girls. I think I was there for a month and a half. Never got a one-on-one with him. I think as like at most, like if you add up all my time together, I think 45 minutes. Oh, shoot with him. So you spent majority of your time with the girl. Absolutely. That is a good perspective to see. Like you only had like 45 years with him. So you spent majority of your time with the girl. Absolutely. That is a good

perspective to see like you only had like 45 years with him and you were on this whole entire show. Exactly. And I always bet like that is like and I spent every other walking minute with the other girls. Yeah, I got like college all over again like in the dorms like you're with everybody every minute. Um, and I've heard like other girls like being the final two and still being really good friends and like, even if the guy and everything. And I can't relate to that, but I think that's why my friendship has been really strong

with the girls in my season, cause I did have that connection with my, it wasn't like, oh, we were really into math the same way and whatnot. Oh my goodness. I just love hearing all the stuff. I feel like I'm getting all the tea. Hey, ask me if you want.

I freaking love it. Okay, question from a fan. This is from at Jin Lauren 12. Ask Abby if she feels pressured to get engaged. So do you feel pressured to get engaged? So if I felt pressured to get engaged, I felt like we were getting engaged a year and a half ago. We've been getting pressure for so long. No, honestly,

I think people forget that like no one I were on a normal timeline. Yeah, we met on a TV show, but we, I mean, we're hitting our two year mark next month, which is like perfect. Yeah, and that's like normal in terms of like real life. Like would you be asking like your brother, sister, your coworkers like not even two years being like, why aren't you engaged? Why not gay Mary? Literally.

Serena, this is an Abigail thing. Does Noah feel pressure from you to get engaged? Yeah. Yeah, that's good question. So I actually think what's really cute is I haven't put pressure on him. I think he, I mean, I'm sure he gets pressure from like the outside and whatnot, but I think it's really cute that he's not a planner. He's not really like proactive and a lot of things and it's end usually I take on that

role. proactive and a lot of things and it's end usually I take on that role But when it comes to like rain shopping and everything else like he's really excited like he's kind of taking on the planning Yeah, so it definitely feels really special that like okay, but it what it matters like he's able to like Okay, oh my goodness. All right. You ready for Jackson's question? Absolutely. Okay. If you could hop on any other reality TV show, which one would it be and why?

Be under pump rolls. No question. I want to be able to get roasted by Jackson. Lala. James. Everybody. I'm so sensitive, but I could take it. Literally, nobody would roast you

because you are an angel. I want to roast a roast vegan. I think I have a roast amigurl. Like, how would that ever happen? How would, even Jackson can find anything to say about you. I really give him something. I really, really pick a fight last minute together to see, so I think it's so iconic

when Jackson real somebody. That is amazing. Remember when Jack's called you Abergale? No. What did he call me? What? I'm so excited to meet Jack's Abigail. It's like a true and true Bender pump.

Okay, this is Lori time. I had FaceTime Jacks to meet Abgale. And I'm like Jack's. I'm like Abigail from Bachelor wants to meet you. And he goes, Hey Abergale. What? I talk to Jack's, I'm like Abigail from Bachelor wants to meet you and he goes, Hey, Abergale! What? I told Kate, Jack's I never, I remember. But also like, who's named Abergale?

Is that even, is that even, I told you what? All of his way to call me the wrong name. Well, I'll take it. I'll take it. Like, is that a real name? I'm sorry if your name is Abergale, but that's like, is that a real name?

I'll take it. I'll take it. Anywho, ready for speed round? I am. Okay, ready? Question one. Favorite reality show? And favorite reality star of all time.

Being a pump rules and jocks. I'm sorry. Jocks is so iconic. Thank you. That's my husband. And your second. But Jocks has been on the show a little bit longer. It's all like.

Listen, I give all the credit to my hubby. He makes amazing reality show. He really does like. Listen, I give all the credit to my hubby. He makes amazing reality too big. So everybody needs to give Jackson credit for all this hard work out there. Okay, y'all. All right, all right. Number two, celebrity hall pass. Harry Styles.

Ooh. Okay, biggest regret while on TV. Telling Noah. I, so he told me he was in love with me and I regret not telling him right away. I waited and then he broke up with me. So I was, I told it right away. But now you guys are together!

Yeah, y'all, we're done! We're together! I'm gonna be in the house arena, here's Serena. Can I just give Insight into this? So they came to me separately. Noah comes to me and is like, Hey, I told Abigail that I loved her last night, or falling in love with her, whatever it was. I don't know if she heard me. And I was like, oh, like she doesn't say anything to me, I'll like, I'll let you know.

Abigail comes to me like minutes later, is like, yeah, so Noah told me he's falling in love with me last night, and I just didn't respond. I was so frozen, I didn't know what to say. Listen, everything is meant to be. Like, the way it worked out for you guys is probably how it was supposed to work out for you. You know, I probably could save myself like public humiliation of Game Broken Up Fun TV, but hey, what's meant to be is meant to be. I went through the worst thumbnail game ever.

So like, it's fine. I'm married now eight years, have a baby. You and I are in a safe boat. It's beautiful. Best advice for other couples years. Have a baby. You and I are in a safe boat. It's beautiful. Best advice for other couples. Like in general or like on reality TV? In general.

Ooh. I think just realizing that people are trying their best, I think instead of like being critical or like thinking like what can you do better just understanding like you are with this person for a reason and you love them for a reason and don't look for the worst or criticizing like look for what you love about them and what they bring to the table. Oh my gosh, I love it, I love it. Okay, last question. What's one question

you wish I asked you today and how would you have answered? Wasn't prepared for this. you today and how would you have answered? Wasn't prepared for this. Oh, a question you could ask me is, would I join the band to pump crew and seize it? I love it. The answer is, yeah! Yay! Oh my god, I love it.
