Starting point is 00:00:00 This is an I-Heart podcast. I'm Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, host of the psychology podcast. Here's a clip from an upcoming conversation about how to be a better you. When you think about emotion regulation, you're not going to choose an adaptive strategy which is more effortful to use unless you think there's a good outcome. Avoidance is easier. Ignoring is easier. Denials easier.
Starting point is 00:00:25 Complex problem solving takes effort. Listen to the psychology podcast on the. IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Why are TSA rules so confusing? You got a hood of you. I'll take it all! I'm Mani. I'm Noah. This is Devin. And we're best friends and journalists with a new podcast called No Such Thing,
Starting point is 00:00:46 where we get to the bottom of questions like that. Why are you screaming? I can't expect what to do. Now, if the rule was the same, go off on me. I deserve it. You know, lock him up. Listen to No Such Thing on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. No such thing.

Welcome to another episode of Bachelor Happy Hour. We are so excited to be back together. Well, we're not technically together, Becca, because I'm still in Miami, but we'll get there. We'll get there. I wish I was staring at your face right now, but your voice will have to do.
Starting point is 00:01:52 I'm reaching out to you in spirit, but nonetheless, it will not take away from the great podcast that we are going to have today. We hope that your week is off to a great start, and we are so ready to bring you all the latest in Bachelor World. Yes. Welcome back, listeners. As Rachel mentioned, we are so excited because we have quite a lot to dive into today. We saw so much go down in last night's episode, and so we can't wait to share it here first on the only official Bachelor podcast Happy Hour. We're giving you all of our insights, our exclusives, our opinions. So let's get started. wait back up before we get started i feel like we're only on episode three and i feel like we've been watching this show for weeks so much has gone down in the past three episodes than i think i've seen in one full season i think peter has had more drama in just these first couple weeks than i had
Starting point is 00:02:45 in my entire go at bachelorette seriously what is the theme what would you say is the theme so far for this season. Oh, if I had to be honest, I just think bullshit drama. There's just, there's so much going on between these girls and so much cattyness and fighting, but, oh my gosh, yeah. But over what? Like, over a champagne bottle, over someone's opinion, like, over things that don't seem that important?
Starting point is 00:03:14 No, no, it's, I have a couple of phrases. Maybe the theme could be genuine and real. maybe the theme could be batch shit crazy all the above there are some cats and some rats that is the theme right there Natasha said it best cats and rats
Starting point is 00:03:34 actually Rachel there are some cats and some rats I can listen to her say that all day I think after each episode when we you know kind of tear it apart we need to go through instead of like the highlights and the low lights and the rose and the thorn
Starting point is 00:03:50 We need to say who was our cat and who was the rat of each episode. Oh, I love that. Basically, in the words of Hannah Ann, this season so far has been a Fadasko. Okay. Also, we are going, Rachel and I talked about this before we got started. We need to start a vocabulary bank of all of the words gone wrong so far. So say that one again, Rachael. Fadasko.
Starting point is 00:04:18 That was brought to you by Hannah Ann. Fadasco. We also heard last night. I don't know if anyone else caught it. I definitely did. And Garrett did. And Garrett wasn't even paying attention. And he called this one out. But I believe our girl, Kiera, instead of saying lingerie, like the French, it was lingerie. Oh, my gosh. If anyone wants to put their own fun spin on words, please do, because we're starting this vocab bank. Please don't. Unfortunately, we're going to have a plethora of them. Okay. Speaking of a word, that we're hearing over and over again, you know, usually in Bachelor world, there's certain phrases, right, like journey and feels like home and right reasons. Now the new one is bully and usually there's wine and cheers. But the word we've heard over and over again so far is champagne.
Starting point is 00:05:11 Mm-hmm. And yeah, we get our fill of it again this week as it continues over from last episode into this episode. episode, we're still talking about Champagne gate. So, Rachel, we've talked about this, as you said last week a little bit. I will say again, I love champagne. I take it very seriously. This drama, though, around a bottle, you know, and you've talked about Rachel, we don't want objects to be like the source of an entire season, but this bottle of champagne is still taking over and it seems like just ruining the girl's experience in the mansion.
Starting point is 00:05:47 Yeah, it's ridiculous. Did Hannah Ann steal the bottle? The world may never know. But Hannah Ann says she didn't, so I'm going to take her word for it. I'm going to take her word for it. We know how the show works. Of course, we saw both setups for the different bottles. It's an easy mistake. I think definitely it was all blown out of proportion, especially when we see Kelsey and Hannah Ann sit down in this week's episode to hash it out. And Kelsey, you know, she's getting all upset, but then she goes, I don't even like champagne that much. Right? Okay, then we should have just nipped it in the butt last week. So you don't even know what good champagne tastes like. You don't even know what that's probably what she was more mad about, is that it was an expensive bottle.
Starting point is 00:06:31 And many people DM'd us and told us that it was dumb. So thank you for that. That is a very expensive bottle of champagne. And I mean, whatever. Anyways, they didn't seem to come to some kind of conclude. I thought they would come to a conclusion, kind of like agree to disagree. and they still didn't.
Starting point is 00:06:48 They just went around in circles. Right. The way that we're focusing so much on this, I feel like one of the two of them is going to be the next Bachelorette. And the reason I say this is because the way things are going, it seems to be whoever is the lead has this whole theme around them, right?
Starting point is 00:07:07 Some inanimate object. Remember I keep saying, I hope that we don't focus on that? Well, here we are with the champagne bottle. So can't you just see that whoever's the back? It's like, oh, she'll be popping off this season. She doesn't pop bottles or she pops bottles now. She doesn't buy bottles. You know what I mean? Steel bottles. Yeah, like I could see it already be a whole thing. You heard it here first. Rachel, you've had a lot of good ideas and I hope that you're wrong in this regard. I hope I'm wrong too. I don't want to see either one of them as a bachelor's right personally. But, you know. I think we do need to touch though on the whole bullying aspect. And Rach, we discussed this a bit last week, too, where Hannah Ann had mentioned to Peter that she felt like she was bullied. Kelsey said, no. Kelsey made a good point when they sat down this week to talk about it. Kelsey said, you know, I said I was rash. I called you a few names, which yes, I was in the wrong to do, but I was angry in that moment. I don't think what Kelsey was doing was bullying. She was upset. We've all been angry at points in time. We've all said things that we regret. But Kelsey didn't keep it going. It wasn't like it was this continuous ongoing bullying.
Starting point is 00:08:16 situation where Hannah-Anne, like, didn't feel safe or felt threatened. And so that's something that, and I think you said it last week, like, we don't want to continue to see this word just being thrown around lightly. Yeah, just flippantly using this heavy word bully. Now, Kelsey hasn't been right about much on the show so far, but one thing that she was right about is that word carries a lot of weight and it is damaging and I am sorry I don't care who you are when you use it on this show there is intent and there is a malicious intent behind it when you use it it's almost like a verbal weapon so I hope we don't see it used again I hope that what Kelsey said to Hannah-Anne really resonated you know because she owned it she said I was she might not say she was wrong but
Starting point is 00:09:07 she definitely acknowledged that she got angry she got upset she cursed those were not the right things to do are the right ways to handle that situation, but it didn't amount to bullying. Right. I agree. All right. So this week, we see another one-on-one date. This time with Victoria P. No surprise there. You could kind of tell that Peter was filling her. And we've seen a bit of her. In these three weeks, we've seen her get a lot of TV time. So I wasn't surprised that she got that date. What did you think about it? I felt like, like you would enjoy this date back.
Starting point is 00:09:43 I, Rachel, you know what? I agree. I was watching it. And I, okay, for me personally, I love the low-key dates where you can do something with your person that feels comfortable that it's not all of this glitz and glam and crazy cool things because that's not real life. And so I loved this date because, as Peter had said, he loves to dance. He goes there with his friends.
Starting point is 00:10:07 It just seemed chill. But they still had time to interact and have those special. moments together where, you know, something shiny wasn't taking away from their, their alone time together. I think Peter is very much so into Victoria P. And I started to see it on the first group date she was on when she got sick and he kind of went there to comfort her. But after that, he seems to really pick up on little things that she says. For instance, like the first thing he met her, she had told him she had never received flowers from anyone and no one has ever given her a rose and so he
Starting point is 00:10:46 makes it a point to go out of his way pull roses from a wall give them to her and so he he's definitely feeling her and I think at I think that one I kind of wrote her off I didn't think that it was going to be as a I don't think the traction was there at first for what I was seen but now I think she definitely is a strong contender in this and he's fallen hard for Victoria P. Yeah, I feel like it's a little, it's a lot. It's a lot too early.
Starting point is 00:11:21 So I'll back it up and say, I agree with you. I actually thought this date was a lot of fun. I am a closet 90s country music fan, and I'm actually, I have a mean two-step. Well, dang, rage. It's what we do in Texas. It's what we do in Texas. So I actually love line dancing.
Starting point is 00:11:38 And I loved a two-step. So I was jealous of this date. I thought this was a really good way to get to know somebody and it to be comfortable and not a lot of pressure. And like you said, it was real. Like, this is actually something that you could do on a Friday or Saturday night as opposed to, like, going up in a hot air balloon, you know, across Europe or something like that. You know what I mean? Exactly. So I did enjoy that.
Starting point is 00:12:00 I also thought it benefited Peter because, let's just be honest, Peter isn't the best dancer. And I think he says that himself. so this was a way for him to really shine and show off his moves and oh my gosh let me not be a bachelor contestant his moves his moves what word I just said just a second ago you know what I like about Peter though is he he knows what he's good at and he knows what he's not good at
Starting point is 00:12:25 and even if you're not a great dancer he still knows how to like loop swoop and pull a lady to make her feel special and um and we love that which I love yeah it's like you love a smooth dancing. You don't need to know how to have the best moves and, like, have the spotlight on you, but if you can, like, dip me and spin me around and pull me back in and I can feel comfortable with you, that's all that matters. And I think he was doing that with her very, very well. Yeah. There's a man who can sing, a man who can dance. What else? There's just certain things
Starting point is 00:12:58 that it's just like, mm. A man who can cook. Like, oh, yeah, yeah, man, they can cook. Back in the day, we used to be like, um, girl, he could sing the panties off me. That's what we used to say back in What about a man who can crack a good back? I mean, that's okay. That's all right, I guess. Rachel's downplaying Brian's moves. No, he's good with his hands. A man that's good with his hands.
Starting point is 00:13:21 That's what that is. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, got me. All right, so we went from a really light date, and then things got really heavy, as they typically do in the nighttime portion. It's like when the night falls and things get dark,
Starting point is 00:13:35 everything starts to get, yes, they do. Freaks come out at night, right? And so do the secrets in Bachelor World. And with her, watching her story, as she's telling it to Peter, you can tell that it's very uncomfortable. It's hard. And I get that, especially to tell someone that on your own is one thing, but to have to do it in front of all of the cameras
Starting point is 00:13:58 and this full team of people around you and to know that the entire world is going to be watching this and hearing your story is very, very difficult. And you kind of see the uncomfortableness that she's going through. But it does humanize her, as you said. And it makes her feel much more, I think, relatable. Like, you know, there's so much more going on. And you are that he, I think he mentioned that she seems like she is a caretaker, cares a lot.
Starting point is 00:14:23 And that's kind of what led into her expressing her past. And so I think those moments are very special. I like Victoria P. Um, I really, like I said, I really enjoyed hearing her story. However, I don't think she's shared too much because like I said, I appreciate when contestants, when we get to know them deeper, but I don't think she's a frontrunner. I mean, I think she'll go far, but I don't think that she's making it to the, I don't think she's top three. Top four. No, no hometowns in her future. I don't, I don't even know about hometown. If she is, she's. number four. Well, Reg, you said last week you think she's going to crack. Well, we saw a little bit of it in this episode. I think that she's so optimistic and so is Peter. And so I think they both tap into that and it works really well for them. But she's a little too much in the sense of
Starting point is 00:15:27 not sharing her story. But did you listen to how she was talking? I mean, you can't tell me that after that date, and I'm talking the daytime portion, she was already calling herself Victoria Weber in her head. I mean, it was just, she's already taken it to another level. Like, I'm pretty sure if you had pushed her just a little bit, she would have said, I love you. It's almost like the way that she talks about Peter and he's there to, she's never been treated like this before. And she's just so longing and needy for that, that I think that it's almost like suffocating. I think right now it's okay. But as the time goes on, I think it's just going to be just a little too much. And she's almost looking at Peter like a savior. Well, and that's what I
Starting point is 00:16:12 think it is. I think she's mentioned multiple times that she's never felt worthy. She uses that word multiple times. Like she doesn't feel worthy. She doesn't think that she deserves that type of love. And I honestly think, I mean, I don't know her background in dating, but I think that he's the first guy to make her feel that self-worth and I think you know falling in love and and having these feelings for someone it's a lot and and you know we've all had the crushes and the falling for someone and it's like this really special magical feeling and I think it's exaggerated for her because she's never had anyone quite like Peter before and I think she knows okay Peter's the ultimate catch like he's everything he is the bachelor like he he he's this top man and he's giving me this attention and
Starting point is 00:17:03 he's telling me I am worthy and I deserve all these things and I think that that's amplifying her feelings tenfold in this regard I guess and that's my thing is like but you don't really know Peter and so you only know what you've seen of him on TV and I'm not taking away from him he's a great guy I at this point in week three we know Peter better than she does and so I feel like when you say I'm not worthy and I've never been treated like this, are you saying you never received the attention from a man who's on TV and has been adored by all these. I guess it's just a lot and it's a little too much for me. And I think that her optimism is going to be a gift and a curse. And I think right now it works. And I think in the long run, it's just going to be a little too much. It's just a little too heavy. Well, you made a good point. A little bit ago you said you think she looks at him like he is her savior. And I wonder if, because of her background and having to worry about her mom and not having a father figure and having to take care of herself and her sister, I wonder if she looks at Peter as like not a way out because I don't think it's a way out.
Starting point is 00:18:12 I think it's just as a, oh my gosh, he can take me away from that. And now all of our dreams come true and he can be the one to help me out of that darkness. and, like you said, save her in a sense. Yeah, it's a lot. She's a lot. But I like her. But I like her. Okay, so they have a good one-on-one date.
Starting point is 00:18:35 He gives her the rose. No surprise is there. I think she'll go far. I just don't think that she's Mrs. Weber. And honestly, I don't know if I see any Mrs. Weber's in the crowd as of yet. I need to keep watching to be more confident in that. so we have the group date and we got our girl dimmy who again no surprise makes a big old loud entrance when she comes into the mansion got a lover i i didn't expect anything less from her to be honest what do you think about people constantly saying
Starting point is 00:19:11 bitches i feel like that's a played out term i'm back bitches what's up bitches i it's not funny just because you add a bitch at the end of your sentence does not make it funny. I personally, I have such an issue with that word. Oh, do tell. I know in Demi's regard, she meant it to be lighthearted, you know, she's playing it up for these girls and for the cameras. I hate when I hear another woman call someone a bitch. I hate it. I cannot stand it. I think it is so degrading in any regard. I don't, I don't think, I don't even think people think of it. I don't think people think about it at this point in life because it's thrown around so much
Starting point is 00:19:54 but I cannot stand it it doesn't bother me the word doesn't bother me I just think that it's not as funny as people try to make it so I like Hannah said it when she came back Demi said it when she came into the house like it's the word
Starting point is 00:20:10 doesn't bother me I use the word but I think when I guess I get like a little like it's not funny when you say it just because like hey hey Becca hey bitch It's not funny It's so overused And it's
Starting point is 00:20:24 You know And maybe this is just me Having like a weird pet peeve I mean I definitely can't stand it When a girl is talking About another girl In a negative light
Starting point is 00:20:34 Like I saw it on Paradise With some girls Calling another girl's stupid bitches It makes me cringe In this regard Who set that on Paradise? Kailin to Who did Kailin say it about
Starting point is 00:20:46 Everybody Tasha probably I don't know. Someone, yeah. It's just, I, it irks me to no end because I think we have so much vocabulary and so many words and so much education that people just resort to that to bitch because it's what people use. And I just, there's so much more that we can choose to say. And I know, again, let me say, like, I'm not calling Demi out because I think she really meant to go in fun, lighthearted. Like, let's get these girls together.
Starting point is 00:21:18 Like, I'm starting my girl game. We're going to go pillow fight, but I just, yeah, like you said, it's not funny. It's not funny to me. No, yeah. I mean, I say the word. I just think it's overused. Okay, but so this is what I found interesting when Demi came back. First of all, she comes in with these two random girls that I'm like, who are these people?
Starting point is 00:21:38 Champagne and killer. Yeah, I was like, what? They didn't make any sense for that. But what I found the most interesting is that the girls went upstairs and so did the cameras. So, a little back tier, and I don't know if everybody knows this, the cameras never come upstairs. Just think about all the times that you've watched bachelor season, bachelorette season. You don't see the cameras upstairs, and technically they never really do. That's like our private area.
Starting point is 00:22:06 That's where we change. We get ready. Something serious has to really be going on for them to come up there. I found it so interesting that they came up there when they were asleep. I mean, I personally either sleep in the nude or half-nude. so I really hope that they got some kind of warning before the cameras rolled up there and so the killer is champagne
Starting point is 00:22:26 because I wouldn't have been throwing pillows I would have been thrown fists I feel like there had to as you said have been some warning I mean and those cameras aren't quiet so they probably heard something but yeah I sleep in my underwear and sports front my mom would throw a fit if that was shown on TV
Starting point is 00:22:43 but let me ask you this Rachel when you were sleeping in the mansion where was your bed? What room were you in? So I was in the room. Oh, wait, both those have balconies. I was in the room that connected to the smaller room, not by the big bathroom. So it was the yellow room, I think is what we called it. And we had seven bunk beds. And I was the one that didn't have a bunk.
Starting point is 00:23:05 So I had my own bed. Ooh, you look eager. No, you would think that would be the case. But because you didn't have a bed on top of it, everybody put all of their stuff on my bed because it was just more convenient. yet no but um i liked the girls in the other room better and so i ended up i had this basket that i would carry around like i would walk around because remember the cameras can't come up there so i walk around like topless i carry this basket and i'd have all my stuff in it and i would go
Starting point is 00:23:35 from room to room don't ask me what i was doing and anyways i would sleep in the other room where all my friends were and so like i just waited for one girl to go home and then i took her bed yeah yeah So I was in, there's three bedrooms for anyone who doesn't know. There's three bedrooms. There's the master and then two smaller ones, all with lovely bunk beds that you saw David fall out of last season that now have the wood panelings on. But I was like when you walk into the master bedroom directly straight in front of you, the bottom bunk. So it was right next to like the door to go out to the balcony. And Garrett was also in that same bunk.
Starting point is 00:24:14 And so we always call it the lucky bunk. and um so we were trying to see Garrett that's the only thing Garrett paid attention to yesterday he was like who's in our bunk who's in our lucky bunk because that's going to be the winner and I'm like I don't know so I wanted to see if you were in that one because maybe there's not some truth behind it but no but I think Brian stayed in the same room that I stayed in that's another thing too right I feel like I I would always say to the guys which room are you in who you room with who are you cool with anyways okay I'm not progressing back to the group day. Back to the
Starting point is 00:24:47 back to the group day. So the pillow fight. So this looks like a fun date. I properly I mean nobody better to host it than Demi. Of course we saw Fred Willard back. Little Fred.
Starting point is 00:25:02 What has Fred been on? Because we clearly have a fatuation with Fred. I don't know him past the dad on the grandpa, modern family. He is on best in show, which is the dog show movie, which I actually watched because he was on R.A. season on the dog date hosting it, and I had no idea who he was.
Starting point is 00:25:26 So you might have been the trendsetter. Was he the, maybe he was first on your date. Yeah, that was his first, I think, appearance on The Bachelor. And then he hosted a dodge ball date on my season. And then we've just seen him since. I do like, I like his corny. kind of jokes he's so cheesy he is cute yeah so we see our friend fred friend of the show fred and the girls have to duke it out with feathers pillows feathers in a ring in lingerie some people
Starting point is 00:26:01 weren't for wait wait i'm sorry becca how did they say laundry as kira likes to say lingerie lingery um lingery or moo moo moo moos i would have wanted to be the girl in the moomoo i'm just saying Really? Only because I like to be warm. I would have definitely wanted the lingerie. And I, because I would have just, because I don't think, I think people think I would have loved this type of date. I wouldn't have gone in their guns ablazing because I would have been thinking about it too much. You know, you don't want to be too aggressive.
Starting point is 00:26:33 So I definitely would have been like in the lingerie, playing with the feathers, tossing them over me, like trying to make it as sexy as possible. God, watching this date just made my nose itch. I was watching in bed cringing, looking at all of the feathers come out. And I'm like, oh, how was no one sneezing on this date? Okay, so on this group day, we had Alea, Kelly, Kiara, Sarah, Savannah, she and Sidney and Tammy. So who were you impressed by and who were you not? Or any surprises, Becca? Well, I will say, talking to Demi last week, she hinted several times that Sydney was in it to win it.
Starting point is 00:27:14 She was going for blood. And so I had my eye in her. I was watching her. I thought, I'm trying to think, who fought who? Well, I actually was shocked at what Demi. Because remember Demi was like, Sidney, Sidney. But I was like, Alleyot seemed to be more tough than Sidney. I mean, yeah, Sidney pulled her hair, but they were like going at it, throwing each other down.
Starting point is 00:27:38 Tammy threw somebody out the ring, got disqualified. I mean. I wanted to see more of Tammy. because she got disqualified which I was kind of bummed because I think she was up first which sucked I couldn't tell how you won the fight like there was no tap out there was there was a disqualification
Starting point is 00:27:56 there was it were we counting feathers were we counting hits because Alleya just kind of sat on Sydney and they were like she's the winner so I was really confused well Richel you bring up a good point like how did somebody technically win I thought after that last match between Sydney and Alea that Sydney would have won.
Starting point is 00:28:14 Like, yes, Alea sat on her, but Sydney was getting more hits. Yep, and you know what? That was the beginning of the end for Alea. Maybe if Sydney had won,
Starting point is 00:28:25 Alea would still be with us. Oh, man, I don't know. And I know we'll get into that later. But I'm just saying, at this point, we've all seen episode three. We know how it ends. But it was really kind of like the Nell in the coffin for Sydney.
Starting point is 00:28:40 I mean, for Alea in Sydney. eyes. Well, and I think it kind of pushed Sidney over the edge to that, not the breaking point, but to the point where she's like, I just got to say something to someone. And, yeah, Alea, I mean, Alaya, maybe we've learned to not sit
Starting point is 00:28:57 on people. So, Leia wins, and we get to the nighttime part. I hope this was editing. But, and let me also say something. We get a lot of messages, DMs, comments about,
Starting point is 00:29:13 oh Rachel Becca you should know better because you know how production is and you know that things are edited and spliced up no we don't know and so what I'm I don't have a whole lot of examples of that happening during my season Bachelor or Bachelorette so I'm not what I'm not going to do when we give our opinion and our recaps to these shows and we're talking about it is comment on what I think happened how I think it's played out. I'm only going to speak on what I actually see. And then I think we interject our own personal experiences. Like, do you get a lot of that, Becker? Are people like, you should know better than that? Especially with the Hannah-Peter conversation? I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:29:57 I don't know what happened. I'm not going to say things were spliced and diced. Because you know what wasn't spliced and dice? Those tears coming out of Hannah's eyes. That mascara running down her face. That was real. Yeah, those are the real emotions. And that's, the number one question I get is, is it fake?
Starting point is 00:30:13 like is it all editing like here's the thing you can put things together but the conversations that you're having are real like yes at times production will interject and be like okay ask a question around this scenario or talk about this whatever it might be so it's like you're you're maneuvered in a way to have certain conversations and so I mean obviously with the whole Hannah and Peter thing I'm sure they were told to talk about everything that was going to down since their breakup had happened but um in this and rachel are you leaning towards the the conversation when sydney is standing there and asking the lay about the pageants and yes so you were coached and yes think that you you know could never fully be yourself and be
Starting point is 00:31:02 honest and true that's the conversation you're here okay yes this is a moment where i hope it was editing because she's standing over her and then says do you You work? I said, oh, okay, Sidney, we're just going to come right out the gate with it. Do you work? I was like, we're not going to lead up into it. You're not going to talk about what got you to this place. Just boom, bam, in your face, do you work? And she's like, yeah, I have three jobs. See, me, the lawyer and me is like, okay, and what are they? I would have a follow-up question. What are your three jobs? Because being on the show, does that count as one. And neither does the title is two. So what, one, two, three, what are they? I go ahead did Alea when she was in pageants did she was she wasn't Miss USA like how far did she get I don't think Miss USA
Starting point is 00:31:53 would ever come on this show so let me just let me just preface it by that she's Miss Texas so I'm already so she's representing my great state yeah she's Miss Texas so yeah so we see this
Starting point is 00:32:10 Tiff between Sydney and Leia. And what really shocked me was at the beginning of this episode, Sydney's sitting on the couch with Victoria F. And she's, they're basically saying how they did not like that Hannah Ann went to Peter and brought drama to him. And they both are kind of on the same page agreeing with that. Well, I guess they got short-term memory because here's Sydney now doing the exact same thing to Peter. So we see Sidney and she talks to Peter and she's just like people aren't being real. Again, another trigger word. Of course he's going to wonder who it is. So he pulls Alea, brings her in. It's like, you know, according to her, as she has already admitted to everybody,
Starting point is 00:33:04 she knows all the right things to say. She knows how not to offend. Yeah. Or how not to answer question directly. Yeah. How not to offend someone. And you know, I was laughing when I was watching this because I said, well, let me tell you what you don't know is how to be self-aware. You are literally admitting to people that you know how to play people. You know how to manipulate, because that's manipulative. And you're literally saying this on a show where you're supposed to be being your true self so this person can get to know you, but you don't have enough self-awareness to realize that. Like when they had her mic and the camera wasn't on her and she was just, you're supposed to be being your true self-s, so this person can get to know you. But you don't have enough self-awareness to realize that. Like when they had her miced and the camera was, and she was just just talking like oh people think i'm this but i'm nasty i was like ew go away please i just i just found it so interesting that she's so knows how to be one way but then clearly isn't aware of what she's doing on the other foot but what i found most interesting when she was talking to peter is that she's saying all these things and she's defending herself and then she attempts to cry And let me tell you something Becca
Starting point is 00:34:15 I leaned all the way in to see if I saw a tear A bit of moisture Anything Anything coming out of that girl's eyes She was working so hard for that one tear And it never showed up Never never showed up I think I mean
Starting point is 00:34:34 It was definitely foreshadowing When I was watching the conversation With Sidney and Leia go down Before Peter got involved I was like, you know something's going to happen where Alea is saying all these things where she can dodge a question or not answer something that she doesn't want to or turn it on. I was like, this is going to be played out very, very shortly.
Starting point is 00:34:55 I think throughout that entire cocktail party, the thing that stood out to me is the fact that Peter not only brought it to the girl's attention before he gave out that rose, but he called out the girls. I was surprised that he actually said, hey, Sidney, can you tell me who you're talking about? Because I've been watching the show for years,
Starting point is 00:35:19 and I've seen people tell the lead certain things or tell the lead about drama that's going down, but I've never seen the lead call it out in the group of girls and call out specific individuals in that setting. Now, please correct me if I'm wrong, but when Peter said Sidney's name, tell me who you're thinking, I was like, oh, Lord, he's doing this.
Starting point is 00:35:39 like he's going all in and wants to figure it out here and there. And like, I will say props to him for just confronting everyone and being like, hey, look, I'm here to find love and I'm going to put it all on the table and call out who I need to call out. But I haven't seen that before. I loved it. He said cut the shit. Sidney, what does she say? And I was like, great, great. Of course, there was no resolution. And I think what I also found interesting is I did not realize how into Alea Peter was. I didn't even realize she was a top girl. My only recollection of her
Starting point is 00:36:09 is that she was helping Kelsey reapply her makeup after the champagne Fadasco and I said that on purpose I said that on purpose just before anybody calls me out I thought
Starting point is 00:36:20 Aleo went home oh with your two go until this week thank you so thank you no so I was shocked when he was like I'm so drawn to you
Starting point is 00:36:29 I'm so into you I was like where Peter are we talking about the same person I guess we just missed something there okay good I'm glad we're on the same page with that. Can we talk about Alleya?
Starting point is 00:36:40 So moving on from the cocktail party into the next day, into the group, the, what is it, the pool party? Into the pool party. Now, when I was watching Alaya, I was laying in bed with Garrett and I kept like slapping his arm being like, oh my gosh, I'm having flashbacks because does Alaya remind anyone of anyone on Ari's season? Anyone at all that starts with a cake. Are you talking about looks? Are you talking about the way she acts? Let me rephrase this. Alea gives me, in regards to her voice, Crystal vibes.
Starting point is 00:37:23 Because if you notice, and they even showed parts of this when people would come around in Leia's voice would raise like five octaves, that is how Crystal was living in the house. and she, when the cameras were on, her voice would change, her pitch would go up when Ari was around, she would kind of turn it on and get more bubbly, and that's exactly what we see Alea do. Yeah, no, no, no, no. Definitely crystal vibes, not in the way she acts or looks, but yes, in the voice, 100%. But you've touched on a very interesting point.
Starting point is 00:37:59 Can we talk about the octas? Because I'll tell you something. the franchise better win an Emmy this season and I'm going to tell you what they are working hard for that Emmy between last whatever whatever season Annalise was on was that Ari season? With the whole
Starting point is 00:38:17 what was a dog she was scared of? The reenactment was hilarious She had the dog trauma and the bumper card trauma and the bumper card this I'm expecting to see that on every season we've already seen it with the teacup ride with Victoria Pete the champagne gate the way that was put together will never know how it really played out
Starting point is 00:38:37 was amazing and now when they said well when they're talking to Peter and someone says well her voice seems to change when the cameras come around and the camera immediately goes to her turning around to someone
Starting point is 00:38:52 the tapster and says hi I said give this show on Emmy give it to them they're working too hard In production for this. Well, Peter, Rach, remember when we sat down with Peter a couple of weeks ago? He said, he's like, week after week, there was always something.
Starting point is 00:39:09 There was always some sort of drama that was blown way out of proportion. He's like, I could never just, like, enjoy everything. There was always something there. And, I mean, we have seen it week after week so far. Yeah, and next week looks the same. I will say that when Sydney, when Sydney, the timing of Sydney talking about Alea, I thought Sidney was just being jealous because she didn't win, maybe looked at Alea as a threat. But when I saw, when he came to the party that they had at the house, when Peter came there,
Starting point is 00:39:39 and girl after girl was saying, this is how Alaya is, I thought, wow, Sydney really was, you know, telling the truth. So kudos to her. I wouldn't have been the girl to do that, but kudos for her for speaking out when it seemed like the other girls were afraid to do that. So what did shock me, though, was when Victoria P had her moment with Peter at the daytime party and she tells him that she and Alea have a connection. I had no idea. I knew Victoria was a pageant girl, but they're Victoria Pee, but there are just so many of them these days. You can't keep track. Right. And I don't know how the pageant world works because I've never been in one. I definitely who would never go far if I was in one,
Starting point is 00:40:24 but I don't know how close-knit it is. I mean, is it the thing where everyone knows everyone and you interact somehow? I mean, from what Victoria was saying, they knew each other, they had interacted maybe for a total of three hours throughout that entire stint. Now, on the flip side,
Starting point is 00:40:43 Alea says that they were close, that they were friends, that they were allies. So again, there's more of this story that, like, will we ever actually know the truth? I feel like there's all these, like, little detective moments throughout this season where I'm like, I want to know more and we'll never get it. Well, who do you think is telling the truth? Do you think that Victoria P or Alea is telling the truth about their friendship and kind of how they knew each other prior to the show? Well, in this regard, I kind of lean towards Victoria P just because, just because of the fact that you see in a clip after Victoria P talks to Peter when she says, you know,
Starting point is 00:41:22 I've known her for maybe, I've spent maybe a handful of three hours collectively with her. Then Alea goes, and I think it might have been after she was sent home, to be honest. But Alaya says, we were friends, we were allies. But you don't tell a friend, hey, pretend you don't know me prior to going on the show. Why do you think she did that? If my friend was on the show, I'd be like, this is my best. You were here together. And we've seen seasons where people know each other, where there's some sort of connection.
Starting point is 00:41:49 And so in Alea's mind when she says, well, I was afraid that we wouldn't be on the, be able to be casted on the show, or she, what is the word that she used, that we wouldn't be, that we would be disqualified. She kept saying disqualified. If we knew each other, I'm like, first of all, this isn't a game. It's a pageant. This isn't a pageant that you are trying to win or get to the next round in. You don't get disqualified. You get sent home because this guy doesn't have feelings for you. And so for her to pair that word with then saying, oh, Victoria, P and I were friends in allies, then why would you tell her not to pretend that she knew you? That didn't add up to me.
Starting point is 00:42:28 Two things. Two reasons where I think. These are my thoughts. One, she, Victoria P. knows something about her that she doesn't want to get out. You know, she maybe, I'm pretty sure she probably saw the whole Hannah, Kalen thing. She wanted to come on a clean slate. She didn't, maybe there's just something there that we don't know. Or two, she just didn't want. want that whole storyline, right? It's been told we've seen it before. The two page of girls come on the season. They don't get along. But here's my thing. If you don't feed the beast, it's not going to come out. So if you, if they were to go on and be like, yeah, you know, we were both in pageants. We knew each other briefly not all that well. And you don't feed into it
Starting point is 00:43:12 and play it up and quite frankly say like that's not part of my storyline. It doesn't make any sense to talk to Peter about it. Then it's kind of done. The more you feed it and talk about it, the more it's going to be blown out of proportion, which is then what we saw. Yeah, I don't feel like she fed into it. The problem is, is the timing of that information coupled with everything else. If that had come out and Sydney had never said anything, I think he would have accepted her truth of, oh, I didn't, I wanted the chance to get to meet you and I thought they wouldn't cast two page of girls.
Starting point is 00:43:44 That's actually a really logical thing to think. But it just was like the icing on the camera. where he was like, you know what? It just keeps getting worse. Everyone is now saying something. And it did get worse for O'Lea because I don't know if I've ever seen what happened at the rose ceremony happened before where, you know, you don't see Chris until he says it's the final rose.
Starting point is 00:44:10 Peter, take your time or whatever it is that he says. Then he comes out when two roses are there, takes that rose, which will never know whose rose that was. and gives the last rose to McKenna. Which is so interesting because I feel like, at least for me, I wanted the opportunity to keep people around to still get to know them. And if I could have extra roses, I wish I could have because it's hard to send people, unless you are dead set of like, this is not somebody I would ever date.
Starting point is 00:44:44 I still wanted as many roses each week as I could to keep people around to still get to know. Really? Mm-hmm. Oh, no. Did you want Chris to take more away, Rach? I hated that I had to keep dragging people along when I knew, when I felt I knew it wasn't there. It's not, there are multiple people on my season who could have been my boyfriend and I could have dated in the real world. But I was looking at who can I spend the rest of my life with?
Starting point is 00:45:13 That was my mindset. Who actually makes sense. So for me, I didn't want to waste people's time and I'm sure they didn't want to waste my time. So it was hard for me because I wish I had less roses to give. Now, when I got to around seven, like, less than 10, then it got harder. Then I wish I would have had more roses to get to know people. I should say 10 when I got to around 10. Yeah, but it does concern me, though, but maybe getting some insight from you, maybe I'm seeing it from a different perspective.
Starting point is 00:45:42 Peter seems to be really struggling. I mean, he really took that hard. It's only, it's week three. you got like 16, 17 girls still left here. It's only going to get harder and harder and harder, as we know. But your insight is interesting, Becca, because now I'm looking at it from a different perspective. And for me, it's since night one when I was the lead,
Starting point is 00:46:05 I knew pretty much who my top guys were going to be. And I even wrote about it in my journal who, like, my top four or five were. But there were still people that continued. to surprise me week by week. And so for me, one week I would go into being like, oh, no, this guy's probably going to go home. I'm writing him off now. And then something would surprise me or we would have a conversation that I wanted more from. And another example of why I wanted to keep more roses or why I probably would not have preferred Chris to take an extra one away for me is there are certain people. And I'm not saying this is why Peter
Starting point is 00:46:45 want maybe were to want one or not. But there were people. where they just made me laugh and I wanted to keep them because even though it wasn't a romantic relationship for instance Jordan like Jordan I knew was never going to be a partner for me but he kept me laughing week by week and he was just such a funny presence that kind of kept me sane throughout all of the pressure week by week that like you know when I got rid of him it was it was in the middle of the entire uh season and so I knew at that point okay now things are actually getting serious i can't keep just like keeping people around to keep them around i have to to really get down to the wire of like who is going to be my person in this um
Starting point is 00:47:30 but yeah but i still wanted people that i could get along with that could keep me laughing that would be good for the guys in the house like good morale because it is so stressful and it's very i mean i don't think anyone can really know exactly what it feels like to be living with multiple people in this high pressure situation because it is pretty stressful and there's emotions that are all over the place throughout the entire season that it's good to have guys there to keep the morale up for the other ones and for us too maybe it was more of a selfish rose that I kept yeah no no no no you definitely have to have that balance and that you got to have the comic relief you got to have all characters all facets when it comes to you know the people that you have until you can't anymore right but
Starting point is 00:48:14 And that's why I'm okay that Alea went home. And a matter of fact, I see this as a gift for Peter because not that you want every week where some people are running, the girls in the house are running to you and telling you about someone. Like, I don't like tattletails. However, this is a gift because this early in the game, you don't know a lot of people. And you got this reassurance from not one, but several women in the house. so for me it's like Peter
Starting point is 00:48:45 it's going to get so much harder take this as a gift because you really liked her and she showed you her true colors early right and that you're not he's not always going to get that opportunity right no and I will say I mean he really
Starting point is 00:48:59 struggles he and he struggles so much that even after the row of ceremony you see him chatting with his producers and saying I think I regret it and in that moment I'm like she's going to come back something's going to happen because if he's questioning it that much he's like he's going to bring that into the following weeks and the following dates and he'll still have that little bit of doubt in the back of his mind of should I have sent her home at this point and if that's there it's going to creep in to everything else yeah but this is what worries me for him if you're doing that this early you are going to do that from here on out like I remember the first time where I had a doubt about sending someone home I was less than 10 people when I was
Starting point is 00:49:42 felt that at that moment. You're doing that and there are so many girls, it's just going to get so much harder for him. But you're right. We see him talking to a producer. He seems upset. We know he's not talking about Alexa, Jasmine, and Sarah, who failed to receive roses at the rose ceremony as well. So, you know, goodbye to them. Jasmine was my favorite from Bios when we did that podcast episode. So I was actually sad that we really didn't get to know her. I don't know who Alexa and Sarah are. Well, Alexa was the one I liked. Remember she had the fun headshot where She seemed kind of spunky. And she was my wild card at the end when we picked our four girls.
Starting point is 00:50:18 Oh, she's the one who like waxes. She's an aesthetician or something, I think, yeah. I was very, I thought I would see more. Yeah, yeah. So I understand. So two of our favorites are gone. They're gone. But I did, you're right, when we see Peter still stressed out over the decision he made.
Starting point is 00:50:40 You, Becca, caught it. You said that I guess I was, I don't know what I was thinking, but you definitely were like, she's, it's not over for her. And we've seen the previews for next week's episode and you see, Becca, you were right, she pops up. So obviously, Alaya or Alia, as she is known in some circles, obviously wasn't telling the truth when she said she respected his decision because she is back. Well, and now when I saw her walk back in, I was like, okay, is this her. coming back, or did he request this? Because he couldn't get something out of his
Starting point is 00:51:18 mind with her. Is there something still tugging at him where he needed full closure or he's needed to have one more conversation with her? We will find out next week, hopefully. Yeah, but I've seen enough. I've seen enough
Starting point is 00:51:35 of Alia. I agree. I will say. I'm ready for her. Once Alaya, always a liar. You know? So I know that, I know you love hearing Becca and I, and we love talking to you guys. And we usually have a guest that we bring on to give us some insight as to what happened in the episode or a preview as to what's to come. But why have a guest when you have an exclusive clip of the next episode? So you're welcome.
Starting point is 00:52:04 No need to thank Becca and I. Here we go. All this drama pushes all of us back because we're all wondering what his intentions are. He needs to be prepared for what we're going to say tomorrow because he's made this mess and he has to be able to own up to it. Clean this shit up. Here's my take on that.
Starting point is 00:52:27 Yes, if I was a girl living in the house and Peter invited Alea back, that would suck. And rightfully so, I would be just as mad. My issue would be, though, with Peter. and if he knows what he really wants? Or is he just a guy who is, you know, he regrets his decision. He made this rash decision to send Alea home early and wants her back. It's like, are you going to keep being wishy-washy throughout?
Starting point is 00:52:57 Are you just going to invite people back on a whim? Like, what is it? What is it that you want? You sent her home for a reason. Now stick to that. So I would question him in that scenario. A hundred percent. I mean, Peter obviously wants to learn things the hard way. I get it. This is a new experience. It's hard. You really are kind of by yourself. Yes, you have producers, but you don't have your family and your friends and you really have to trust the decisions that you make. You can't be swayed by other people at the end of the day. You have to trust your decision, make that decision, and then be okay with the decision that you made. You don't get this opportunity to continue to bring people back. We saw. how that played out last season.
Starting point is 00:53:41 Right. So, I mean, figure it out. That would literally be my response. My question is, is Peter just a masochist where he likes to torture himself and make things harder for him because he knows that by bringing her back,
Starting point is 00:53:57 he's already had drama last week with Leia. This is going to cause drama by 10 times what he already had seen. And like, he already had. to deal with the questions from the girls when Hannah came back on the date and he spent the day talking with her and hashing that out. Like, he is just now putting himself in this position because it's like, like for his sanity, he just needs to stick to his guns because it's making everything worse for him. Yeah, I honestly don't. I hope that this is it. Like, I hope he,
Starting point is 00:54:30 okay, you think you made a mistake. Let it play out. I guarantee you you're going to learn the hard way. I'm sure we'll see Eliah on a two on one and then that'll be the end of it but it's just kind of like I don't want to watch another season where you can't figure it out you know like I want you to be definitive in your decisions
Starting point is 00:54:55 and your and yeah so well and I think we've seen it with past bachelors not to name names but people say they want one thing and they realize it's not what they want and they are wishy-washy and they change their mind and like this is all of these girls their lives and their hearts are on the line peter's heart is on the line so it's like know what you want before you say yes to this know what you want going into it so you can articulate that to the women
Starting point is 00:55:23 you're dating to everyone who put their lives on hold and stand by what what that is yeah i will see this is this is a shocker and a bit of a disappointment becca but I guess it just also means we're going to have a lot to talk about next week. We're going to have to wait seven more days, and now I'm kind of pissed because I just want to know what's going to happen. Okay, you know what,
Starting point is 00:55:47 let's lighten the mood by playing a little game. Yes. All right, so these are going to be our superlatives to date for Pilot Pete's season. So the most likely to, all right, so first question up, bachelor contestant, most likely to, oh, my God, push another girl in front of, of a car for time with Peter?
Starting point is 00:56:08 I'm going to say Kelly. The lawyer? Because here's a thing. Kelly, I think from what I've seen so far, she's very in him, she's very serious. She's already had minor
Starting point is 00:56:24 issues with the girls about meeting Peter before all of this started. We also heard Demi last week say that Kelly took the pillow fight very seriously. She kind of scared Demi a little. little bit. So I'd say Kelly is scrappy and she's going to do what she has to do to get Peter. Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and just say Hannah Ann because I'm just going to go with people who
Starting point is 00:56:47 throw people under the bus. And so I've seen Hannah Ann do that and I've seen Sydney do that. So it's got to be one or the other. So I'll just pick, I'll just pick Hannah Ann. Gotcha. All right. Next one. Who is the most likely to start drama? Should we say it on the count of three? Yeah. One, two, three. Alley. A la. You guys, Rachel and I are not even in the studio and we just are on the same page. But I think most people would agree with that one. Yes. Well, she's actually not starting it, but yes. Second place goes to Kelsey. But she keeps feeding it. And that's, it's like even in the episode that we just saw, it's like Peter's going around having conversations with all these women. And then she's just sitting next to the pool continuously talking over and over and over and over and over and over and over about it. I like saying the names at the same time. Okay.
Starting point is 00:57:47 Bachelor contestant most likely to sneak into Peter's hotel room after hours. One, two, three. Savannah. Oh. Well, I say Savannah because she's the girl who straight out of the limo kissed him. Oh, is that her name? And kissed him and got him. and got it all, you know, touchy-feely with him.
Starting point is 00:58:07 So she would definitely get a little sneaky over there. Okay, that's a good one. I said Hannah Ann, just because she has a lot of confidence. And so I could see her being bold enough to say, you know what? I'm ready to see him. I don't care what time of the hour it is. I agree with that. I give her that.
Starting point is 00:58:22 Okay. All right. Next one. Okay. Who is most likely to get wild in the fantasy suite? Okay. Three, two. Savannah.
Starting point is 00:58:35 No? Isn't that the girl? No. Well, yes, I mean, I was going to say Tammy just because she's wild and I like her. Oh, that's a good one. Man, I like your answers better than mine. Tammy's a good one. You're right. And she's a wrestler, so she definitely, you know, I think has the moves. That's a good one. All right. Next. Okay. Bachelor contestant most likely to sleep through a rose ceremony.
Starting point is 00:59:00 Three, two. Kelly. I was going to say Kiara because she just I haven't seen that much of her I also need more of the faces because I'm only going off of the eight that are right in front of me yeah yeah yeah I'm gonna probably say the same names over and over again but I mean our audience probably only knows eight of them as well I say Kelly just because she always seems to be so over it like she already says she doesn't fit in she's out of her comfort zone I don't want to say she seemed like she's above it because she doesn't come across that to me I like Kelly But she's just kind of like, me, I used to sleep.
Starting point is 00:59:36 Yeah, she's just ready, I think, for it to be, I think she's ready for them to be four or less so that she can be separated from the girls and catch up on her rest. Yes. Okay. So, moving on down the line, who, Rachel, is the most likely to cry over nothing? Okay. One, two, three. Kelsey. Kelsey.
Starting point is 01:00:00 Yep. No explanation needed there. We've all seen it. Because we've seen it. Yeah, exactly. Oh, this might be my favorite. Rachel, I'm excited for this one. Okay.
Starting point is 01:00:10 You do the honors. That's what contestant, most likely to be the first one to sell a subscription box. Three, two, one. Hannah, Ann. Madison. Oh. I had to change it up. I had to change it up.
Starting point is 01:00:28 I would have, you know, she probably would have been a. a second but honestly we should have said one of the night one girls because i think hannah ann and are matt and madison are going to go far enough to where they're not going to have to do that at first but yeah or they can't say yes for a little bit yeah i wouldn't even know who went home night one so who is most likely to completely disappear after the show finishes airing i know who i'm going to say okay three two, one. Peter.
Starting point is 01:01:03 Peter. Look, he did not want to be verified in the first place. He's going to want a good long break after this. So funny. We could have so much fun that Peter was probably the best answer. We also could have said the champagne bottle. We could have said Alaya's tears. We could keep going with this one.
Starting point is 01:01:25 I was going to say from Willard, but I still want to see more of him. Yeah, we do like him. Okay. Oh man. Okay. Demi might get upset about this one, but who's the bachelor contestant most likely to be the queen of paradise? Three, two. Wait, I want to think of a good one. Okay. I got it. Do you got it? Sorry. Yes. Okay. Three, two, one. Victoria. Okay. I was going to say Tammy. I was and then I said Victoria. Victoria. I was and then I said Victoria. Victoria. F is who I'm referring to.
Starting point is 01:02:02 Okay. So. I don't, I see, Victoria F, I think, I think she'll do Paradise. I could see her on Paradise, but I think she'll have some issues. Okay. This is, I'm so over-analyzing this. Please forgive me, you guys. Just let me have a moment.
Starting point is 01:02:22 I was going to say Tammy because Tammy's so fun. But Tammy said something on this week's episode. Right before Peter Kister, she was like, Oh, I thought you were going to say I'm one of the bros. Tammy is like a bro. She has a tendency to friends zone herself because she's so freaking cool. Like, I understand that. She's like a tomboy.
Starting point is 01:02:41 So it's easy for her to go into that role. So I think everybody will love her and she'll be the queen, like the friend queen. Yeah. I think Victoria F is going to be like the little sex kitten. All the guys are going to have seen her before. Like if Victoria F comes to paradise, I want to talk to her. You know what I mean? I wish you could see my face right now
Starting point is 01:03:03 That's what I think I think that's what they're going to say Ooh, I want to talk to her That's they're going to It's paradise is sexualized So I'm going to I like that's how I'm speaking of it I'm not saying it's fair Becca
Starting point is 01:03:16 I'm just saying it's paradise I will say I would love to see an underdog For instance Our girl Sarah I thought she was cute She went home early So somebody who we maybe didn't see
Starting point is 01:03:29 That much of Rachel I know you loved Jasmine, so maybe Sheila lowered up on Paradise. Yeah, and you're right, Becca. It would be nice to see an underdog, especially with all the drama we had last season. And then it's just like the same contest and so over and over again. It really would be nice to see something new. Some fresh faces. I know that might not be maybe interesting or dramatic to some people, but yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:55 Well, who knows? Some of those girls that went home early that we didn't see anything of could, could have some big personalities. Fingers crossed. Fingers crossed is right. So last one, Bachelor contestant most likely to slide into a former contestant's DMs.
Starting point is 01:04:12 Ooh. Oof. All right. You ready? I'm like stumped on this one. Do you have me to help you out? Yeah. It's going to be all of them.
Starting point is 01:04:23 All of them. Well said, Becca. If we have Mike or Tyler C. or Connor, anyone out there listening who can please screenshot if any of these girls have slid into the DMs. I would love to read these. But you know what? I can't even just fault these ladies because it's probably these guys that are already sliding into their DMs. It's already happening. God, I hope we don't. I mean, I know. I know this is going to happen and I just am wishful thinking here that I don't want to see what happened with Paradise last year happened
Starting point is 01:04:57 where everyone was already, like, buddy it up or had this system. And they were talking of like, oh, yeah, you and I can team up and give roses. It's just, that's not how it works. So let's just stay radio silent with everyone and be pleasantly surprised on the beach. Now we would like to move to a little segment we're going to have each week. And it's going to be entitled, There are some cats and some rats. That's right. Cats and rats.
Starting point is 01:05:25 Cats and rats, honey. Who this week is your cat and who Becca is your rat? Oh, let me give it to you. I have to say, obviously, I don't think this is any shocker to anyone. My rat is Alea. And that goes without having an explanation. I think we all know why. I'm going to say my cat of the, that sounds so weird saying,
Starting point is 01:05:50 my cat of the week. It does. Insert all of the puns here. Um, I'm going to give it to Victoria P. Now, Rach, I know she's not your favorite, but I think Peter is feeling her. I think from what we saw so far of them together, so far, so good. They look happy. She's really falling for him. And they had a good, good little one-on-one moment together. So I'm going to give it to her. Yeah, no, I like Victoria. I just don't think that she's going far. Um, my cat, geez, who knew it would be so tough? to find the cat of the week, the catch of the week. I guess I'm going to have to give it to Fred Willard. There you go. Words right out of my mouth. That's why I couldn't find him on the chart because he's not there.
Starting point is 01:06:43 It's Fred. The institution that is Fred Willard. Or maybe I'll give it to champagne and killer or whatever their names were. Becca, again, you took the words out of my mouth. It's obviously Alleya, but when I'm referring to her as the route of the week, I'm going to revert back to Alia. It, you know, it's tempting because a part of me does want to say Sidney because she is the one who tattled, and I'm just not a fan of snitching. But the way that Alia handled it, I got to give it to her because it just kept going and going and going. Let me tell you all something.
Starting point is 01:07:22 for future people who are signing up for the show. You can't hide batch shit crazy, okay? It's going to come out. What do they say? A lie will always come out. I'm totally just paraphrase that. That is not how the saying goes. What's in the darkness will come to light.
Starting point is 01:07:41 Like you can't, it's the truth will eventually come out. Same thing with crazy. Okay? You can't. You can't. And if you're confused, just, look into their eyes. You can always tell crazy from somebody's eyes. That's your tip. I wonder if people have looked at me and they've been like this bitch cray. No, Becca, not even
Starting point is 01:08:03 close. No, Garrett probably does it on a daily basis. Not even close. But, okay, so that pretty much wraps up this week, which I kind of thought we wouldn't have that much to talk about, but you put the two of us together and you can't shut us up. We just keep going and going. And I will say, as much as we like tease these girls and may say bat shit crazy, they are extremely entertaining and they make for great TV. It does. I will say, I loved watching Hannah's season because there's always something each week and it's the same with Peter. So you guys are giving us good TV. Thank you. Thanks, ladies. Okay, so moving on to other things that are happening in Bachelor World, Becca, I know you have a lot going on specifically in like a month or less.

Starting point is 01:10:50 Hoffman, host of the psychology podcast. Here's a clip from an upcoming conversation about how to be a better you. When you think about emotion regulation, you're not going to choose an adaptive strategy which is more effortful to use unless you think there's a good outcome. Avoidance is easier. Ignoring is easier. Denials easier. Complex problem solving.
