Hi guys and welcome back to The Gift That Keeps On Giving which is batch uncut. Now I say it's The Gift That Keeps On Giving but this is it, we're at the end of the road. And we mean that when we say this is it. This is the last one for this season, we promise. We're not going to come back next week on Friday and go, just one more. Well, actually, we decided that we'd interview the producer and the cameraman and the soundie and, like, maybe 17 other people. The guys that did the catering seemed really nice as well,

if you want us to chat to them. Let us know. Let's get their backstory. So, guys, just letting you know, we have Brooke on the podcast today. And I know the other day, if you listened to Batch Uncut, I said that I wasn't sure whether or not we were going to be able to do an interview with Brooke because originally she had said that she wasn't wanting to sit down and talk to media but she changed her mind and she's here today and she's gonna tell you all

the deep dark and dirty secrets of the bachelor world now kinky captain part of me is a little bit sad that this is over but there's another big part of me that can't wait just to get my life back the tail end of the weeks are absolutely consumed by the bachelor from from Wednesday to Saturday, I am 110% Batchy-ified. Matt, Batchy-ified. I'm 110% Batchy-ified. Matt said yesterday, he was like, I have never spoken so much about The Bachelor, not even when I was The Bachelor.

He's like, I have spoken more about Jimmy and Jimmy's season and Jimmy's girls than I even did about myself, which I actually think it could be true. But also, we still haven't quite convinced Matt whether or not to come back for Bachelorette. So he's still considering his options right now. We don't even know when it's going to start, do we? Oh, the mystery. Will it be next week? I think they're going to leave a bit of a gap between the two seasons.

I reckon Channel 10's teasing us a little bit. So at least that'll give me a chance to recharge my batteries because the last four nights we have not had a decent night's sleep. And also, I'm just going to say this now, if you can hear some weird banging or kids' toys in the background, it's because Lola is literally flapping around on the floor next to us whilst we do this intro. This is the adversity that we're dealing with right now.

This is why we need a break. Last night was one of the first nights where I thought we would get a decent uninterrupted night's sleep, but I was wrong, Laura Byrne. It's almost like the universe hates us. And when we do say, okay, we're going to go to bed early tonight, we could have brought you this episode earlier, but we were like, do you know what? No, we're going to have a Saturday night off.

We're going to go to bed early and we're going to go to sleep and we're going to snuggle and do absolutely nothing except sleep. But the world had other plans for us. So at two o'clock in the morning, I was having a lovely dream and all of a sudden the doorbell started playing in my dream. And it's one of those moments where I was thinking, what the hell is going on? Oh no, I had the doorbell go and I was like, I just woke up in such, cause our doorbell is like, it's the world's worst, most like violent sounding buzzer. And I just had this moment of pure fear where I thought we were

getting robbed. And then I realized that the robber was particularly polite and he was ringing the doorbell at two o'clock in the morning. Excuse me, you guys don't have any valuables I could steal do you and then I thought no maybe it's just like the neighborhood kids or someone like being an asshole like who on earth is buzzing our doorbell buzzer at two o'clock in the morning so I got up and I went into the living room where we have an intercom system and the guy goes it's a delivery can you let me in please and I was thinking to myself what the hell is being delivered at two o'clock in the morning so I was walking up to the front door kind of like ready to get into a bit of an argument here. And it was our HelloFresh delivery box. I was expecting it to be

that box of dicks that I ordered and said, please only deliver them under the clock of darkness. But as I answered the door, I was like, mate, it's two o'clock. What are you doing? And he looks at me and smiles and just goes, well, there's a note here that says, don't leave it out the front, buzz the apartment. And then he had to be the box and just walked away. And I didn't even get a chance to get angry at him. I was like, yes, I appreciate you not leaving this out the front, but also you could because no one's going to fucking steal it at 2 o'clock in the morning. So anyway, we have our HelloFresh now.

It's delicious. That is it from us. We are delirious. We have loved bringing you these episodes. But before we leave you, we have this interview with Brooke for you to sink your ears into. And honestly, it was such a pleasure to interview Brooke and also just to better understand how she felt about the Stage 5

clinger edit that she got, why she came back after her grandfather passed away. And exactly how much interaction she had with Jimmy when she was removed from the mansion. And also, it was really important to us in general just to be able to give you guys a full picture. I mean, we've interviewed Jay, we interviewed Holly, we interviewed Carly, we interviewed Lily, and we thought it would really be a mess of us to not be able to have a chat and sit down with Brooke and give you that full story. So we really hope that you enjoy this chat with Brooke. When we all sat down to watch the finale the other night,

on one hand we had Holly's love story but the overarching and I think it was so hard for anyone to look away the biggest part that I think most people focused on was Brooke's heartbreak and collectively that final moment all of Australia's heart broke at the same time and we are so lucky to have Brooke with us today to be able to talk about her experience to talk about her journey for use of a better word we hate that bachelor term but you can't escape it but Brooke welcome to life on cart thank you hi guys yeah thanks no thanks for having me and yeah no look be lovely to chat today and yeah a little bit of event from last night we're so grateful that you're here we know that originally you weren't sure if you wanted to do media and I know that like when

you're in that whirlwind I guess you don't really know how you're going to feel after you've watched that final episode play back did you watch the finale episode and how did you feel watching it So I made the decision that I didn't watch it because I just remember being in that moment and I was just like just a mess. Like I can't even really remember what came out my mouth to be honest. It was just a lot and I just knew like this whole anticipation up to the finale was going to be so much this week for me. Like I feel like I haven't slept properly in like a week but I just made the decision not to watch it and I think that was the best decision otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get out of bed today and do any media at all it was a shit app anyway um

nothing there nothing really happened the hot air balloon was nice but that was it how are you feeling now now that there has been a little bit of time between filming a little bit of like personal recovery I hope but talk me through how you're feeling now and where you're at yeah I think the three months of doing the whole experience was like the best three months of my life like I had a ball but it was such an emotional roller coaster as well like the ups and downs of it was insane and then coming back and coming down from it all it was like oh yeah this will be fine like this will be so easy to watch back but it has been so hard like it's Just I think this has definitely been the toughest part of the experience, like watching it all back, processing it myself.

Like generally when someone dumps you, you're like, I'll never have to see them again. I'll never have to say anything to do with it again. But now I'm like, oh, fantastic. Like I can say a lot of my flaws and like just the whole relationship is so confronting. Like you're like, whoa, Brooke, it's a whirlwind like it really is. for anyone who hasn't been in that situation it's so strange because it's a real two punch situation because you have the first punch is obviously when you're living it and it's being shot and then the second punch is it's almost like as soon as you start to heal and move on

and you kind of like putting it behind you and then you're forced in a way to relive it and even if you don't watch the episode it's really impossible to ignore because it's just absolutely everywhere it is it is and even like you know my phone will blow up every time there's an episode and like everyone will want to talk about it and you're just like actually no like i'm just taking a break and they're like what like really but you're in the episode and there's so much of you in the episode and i'm like yeah that's the whole reason yeah it is a lot and like it's a lot to process watching yourself like in this relationship and like I remember like when I was on camera I was just always so nervous and excited and feeling so many emotions on camera then sort of off camera

that's like really where Jimmy and I bonded and like we built our relationship like as you guys would probably know too. It seemed in that final episode when you were in Alice Springs and I know you haven't watched it but the the version that we saw as the viewer was that you seemed so confident that it was going to be you like you were really convinced and I know like it's and I speak from my personal experience like I found it so difficult to feel convinced and it wasn't because I didn't believe in my connection with Matt but it was almost because I wanted to like safeguard myself a little bit from how big that fall would be if he didn't fall in love with me yeah it didn't feel like you had that protection it didn't feel like you had given yourself that barrier why were you

so convinced that it was going to be you yeah I think for me first of all I did not even think of a backup plan like I was that convinced like I think one of the producers was like to me have you thought about if it's not you and I'm like but it's me like why would I come back like why would he make me feel so hopeful about coming back and we literally fought this relationship about right to the end and then just to send me home like it just makes no sense at all in my head and yeah but I think that's why I was so convinced because I was like we've been through so much just for him to send me home for me I just kind of was like I'm just so confident and just everything that we have together like even off camera just felt so organic and just the kissing

and like I don't know everything the banter I was just like yeah it's me and at that point there's no one else it's just you and him and by that stage I felt like I was fully in a relationship so I was like nah he wouldn't hurt me like I was like nah nah nah but to our knowledge it was a massive shock I felt like I had the biggest migraine just come over me and I just couldn't even process things, just tears. And so, yeah, I was so shocked. I think that was one of the big question marks surrounding you, Brooke, is when you left, there was obviously a period of time

where you were no longer in the mansion. We know that you and Jimmy were in contact, but we don't know to what extent. Like, was it phone calls and messages every day? Was it once a week? How did that play out behind the scenes? Yeah, it was like every second of the day. No, it wasn't.

No. no look it was like it wasn't what people probably thought it was like it was just like a check-in like it was so unique because it was literally I'd known this man for six weeks he'd seen me at my lowest point on the phone and I was bawling my eyes out like it wasn't nice I suppose it was just weird that I'm just bawling my eyes out and telling this man all about my grandpa and all these emotions I'm feeling but it was like really once here and there just checking up on me and still making me feel pretty hopeful and those sorts of things. And he also said things like, you know, I'd be disappointed if you didn't come back, I would really be

disappointed. So then I was like far out. I think he had like probably one of the strongest connections with me. What if I don't go back? Like what if, what if, what if, and that will, that will kill me and haunt me for the rest of my life. So yeah, I had a lot of, I felt very hopeful from him and just like the words that he used with me and just his actions everything and I actually assumed at that stage that he was genuine and he actually meant a lot of those things and he generally did miss me and so yeah I wasn't going to though that's the funny like I wasn't going to come back but it was like two days after my grandpa's funeral and I was like well I've got great closure here and I've said goodbye but I also have no idea what to do with this experience

you know I have this man who I've developed a strong connection with but I'm not ready like to be back in that high pressure again it was just a lot to process and I knew that I'm quite a vulnerable girl when it comes to love and all that kind of thing and I just was really scared to go back into that environment again I took the risk going back for him and yeah both Matt and I we're so sorry that you had to go through that we're sorry that happened in your life in general but also that you lost your grandfather during this process because what I don't think a lot of people necessarily realize is that the whole experience in itself is so it pulls you into such a chaotic and intense feelings you know it makes you sometimes feel

a little bit out of your mind and I know it did for me it really pulled me to the brink of my emotional capacity so I can't even imagine being in that situation but also being in grief as well oh that's it and I'm just so sorry that you had to experience that because I think that maybe some of the things that we saw on tv and maybe some of the reactions were also amplified by being in this period of your life totally totally and like you know going back in I really had to hype myself back up for that you know like I knew if I came back in crumbling I would have got eaten alive I feel like like I just had to really amp myself up I definitely had moments of weaknesses you know and I loved those girls but when I went back in I had missed great dates cliques were formed

friendships relationships with Jimmy were formed at that point and like for me I was like far out you know like this is crazy I've missed so much I instantly was an outer there's no other way of describing it like I was instantly feeling like I was just an outer person and at that point the only person who truly understood what I've been through for the last three weeks was Jimmy and he became my best friend right to the end at that point when you returned to the mansion had you already fallen in love with Jimmy do you think I mean not fallen in love with him then but my feelings were growing when I like just the way he stayed in contact with me back at home I was just like I think this guy's really genuine it's not just a tv show at the end of the day like

he genuinely cares about how I'm feeling and he wants to check in and you know there was lots of things and it was it was really nice and when I came back in I I mean it was hard to watch that episode because you can see the facade that I really put on like trying to be so confident and secure within myself but really there was just so much pain still running through my body I mean when you're grieving you don't always make the smartest decisions and there's no textbook on how to do it you know so I literally was just like here I go baby and yeah it was hard because I didn't get those three weeks what the other girls got in the mansion I was actually back at home grieving someone I wasn't thinking about logistics with Jimmy and things like that when

I was back at home I really buried a lot of that and just put my soul focus into like family and everything what was your relationship like with the girls when you came back I mean I know that we saw a little bit of it on the show that there seemed to be some animosity and a little bit more competitiveness but like did you feel like you had a real target on your back talk me through how you were feeling in that time oh man I mean yeah it was it was weird because starting to show like I was close with people like Holly and Carly I had a great bond with them before I went home and when I went back in everyone was so territorial over their connections and I kind of went back into it thinking we can all still be friends but still have fun but

the vibe had changed so much by that point that I was catching up like I was playing catch up a little bit and the clicks that had formed I was never really close say for instance with Lily you know and like she was really close to Holly and Carly at that point I was like wow like that's changed then Jay and Ash were so close and it was like trying to get through like pull an elastic band everyone was just like this I just sort of had to go in and be really strong and just stick to myself and stick up for what I believe in as much as that caused a lot of controversy. We know that you were in love with Jimmy when you were filming the show.

Now that a number of months have passed, are you still in love with him or have you moved on from that now? Yeah, that's a really good question. Look, it's just hard. It's hard. I'm not in love with him anymore, but I still am triggered by a lot of those emotions you know and I'm still very triggered by them and like even just watching some of those episodes like last week with my family and stuff

like I remember having the ball but watching it back can be so different in you know that time but I'm not in love with him but yeah I can still feel some of those emotions powering through me like just the way i was feeling do you regret coming back no i don't i don't regret coming back because if i didn't come back i feel like i would be rattled for the rest of my life with question marks i just feel like the fact i came back i got closure from like everything from the relationship like we had the strong connection and that's where it stopped i went back home and then it was kind of like I felt like I spent those first few episodes just building the chemistry and the connection like I thought uh I won't ask any hard questions I don't want to scare the man away

I just want to have a great time with him and lots of banter all that kind of thing but yeah when I was back at home I was like far out he's been on the phone to me I've been bawling my eyes out for 10 minutes and things like that and he'd already seen a lot of my weaker points so I was like I'm going back and I want to see where this goes because that's the risk you take isn't it for like someone that you're falling for and yeah Brooke it's so I mean like it's so hard to see you hurting because I know and I know from like our lived experience with the show it's very easy to watch it and to think that people on the tv are characters and the thing is is like with editing and the way that the show is put together to make it entertaining to make it funny to make

it engaging for the viewer there is this characterization of the contestants sometimes we only see the most extreme traits of their personality and I think we saw that with you from time to time you know like we saw this more intense version which is chalk and cheese to the version that I'm talking to right now and I think that it's important for people to see the full spectrum of who you are as a person but how did you feel watching that back did you want to be able to kind of be like hey that's not how this story went or were you like holy shit I didn't think that I behaved like that were there parts of this whole thing that you were like uh wow this is some real self-awareness that I wasn't aware of but but how did you feel I mean totally like

I even think Jimmy would be watching you back like far out didn't realize you know like she was not that crazy I swear exactly I had a lot of fun at some things I said like I was like literally like commenting myself like I was like oh Brooke come on you know like what are you doing what are you saying but you know it was fun at the end of the day like I literally had the best time I think I just got so comfortable on camera as well and I was a little unhinged at times and I'd just say exactly what I'm thinking and then I'd be like oh what have I said to him later I mean my favorite part was when you told everyone that your ovaries were tingling but like fair we've all been there girlfriend it's all right I literally was like what's that rattling I could feel oh it's my

ovaries I want to know I think it's really hard going through this experience and then watching it back and the feelings that you have when I guess because the reality is is you know what your connection was you know the experiences that you were having with Jimmy but you never see what the other person is having you never see what Holly's doing on her single dates and how that's playing out did you feel or do you still feel resentful at all or like you had been led down the you know garden path a little bit with Jimmy's choices no not at all Holly and I were both really different girls so it was kind of interesting to watch how different our dates are and like the interactions that we had with him like I brought out sides in him that you know she brought

out different sides in him as well we're just so different and I actually just watching it back and I'm like I feel like he would just be like what the hell like these girls are so different yeah I could see why he was a little bit rattled at times but I'm not resentful towards him but at the same time I kind of do wish that he kind of didn't take me right to the end if he knew that it wasn't going to work at a certain point well yeah I mean I think it's hard I question it not I don't question Jimmy specifically but I question this whole idea of like I had no idea who I was going to choose I always have found that a really hard thing to process and look Matt has told me that that was his experience in the process as well I like to believe that he knew

what he was going to choose prior but it is hard to think that you have this amazing connection with someone that you it feels so real to you that you think how could it possibly not be me than to only think actually they're having these strong connections with somebody else. Brooke, it's been three months since the filming ended. What have you, like in the last couple of months, what has life been like for you and what have you been doing to take care of yourself throughout this process? No, that's a good question. Well, life in lockdown has been really fun. It's a great time to spend way too much time thinking about how you're feeling. Totally. Like honestly I feel like it's intensified a lot of my feelings but my girlfriends are the best

girlfriends you can imagine they've been with me on the ride like they've been with me through the highs and lows even the other night my girlfriend came over with a bottle of wine she's like you're not sitting down and watching this on your own she's my bubble buddy as well but you know she just popped over and she's just like here I am let's vent let's do whatever you need it's just things like that that you need at these points in time and then I've got a great family who's so supportive of me and my dad's actually a little too supportive he actually getting a little bit affected about some things going on online and he called me last week he's like don't you dare you know read anything fuck those bastards and I'm like oh god I'm like sorry dad it's fine but

people are always gonna have opinions about you you know and it's funny when Jimmy did tell me that you're perfect in every way and that's when I was like really like we've just been three months together and you've seen me literally at all of my points like I'm clearly not perfect so that was a little frustrating when he said that but I've been working my job is like my happiness and my life and my colleagues have been great and yeah lots of wine and you know going for runs around the tan all that kind of things people have been really lovely in the public as well like just coming up to me and saying I love your energy and just who you are and you stick up for what you believe in so that's been really nice as well to be honest when you have a couple of wines are

you sometimes like do you know what give me your phone dad I'm gonna bloody text him text the bastard have you spoken to Jimmy or Holly at all no and like to be honest I said everything I needed to say to jimmy like i was completely up front with him i was so honest about who i am everything that i need in a relationship i fought it out to the end i honestly don't know what else i would have to say to him other than i wish you nothing but the best you and holly clearly they had something really lovely together i think just at this point in time they just need to focus on them and not even really think about what what i'm going through or my life you know sorry that approach is far too mature brooke do you want the real version now

brooke it's so i mean like people can't see this obviously it's a podcast but it's it's very hard to see that you are still so upset by this and i i just want to say as well like the shit that people write online it's not real they don't know who you are they've seen a characterized version of you and they also don't see the pain or the feelings of rejection for what they are and like we both understand this world and we just want to say that people who are normal don't write bad things on the internet like they just don't and so we really hope like that anything that has been written that's negative you just know that they are not people who you would want in your life or be friends with anyway yeah a hundred percent and that's the thing with these shows you

know you're either a clinger the villain whatever you know whatever and like it's always gonna happen to anyone on reality TV and like I was completely aware of that coming in to it just some things so I'm a bit like god I didn't even think about that about myself so yeah like some of it has been a little bit tough to hear from my girlfriends who accidentally slip here and there but you know I just said like it's bound to happen at the end of the day what can you do about it I had an opinion on the show so in a funny sort of way it's expected that they'll have opinions too Brooke, I know how hard it is being in your position right now because it feels like you're in this race which is just never going to end

and then as you cross the finish line, you have to relive it a thousand times over. Yeah, these idiots on podcasts keep on asking you questions about your heartbreak and you're like, go away. But honestly, it's actually I think I look back and this time doing all the interviews, it's actually quite therapeutic and it really does help with the healing process and I can guarantee that in a couple of weeks or a month's time you're going to look back at this and you'll you know you'll laugh at the experience that you've just been through and how crazy life can be and I honestly really think that going through something like this it's so unique and

it's going to allow you to grow so so much so I love the way that you're viewing the situation because you deserve nothing but the best thank you Maddie yeah absolutely I think one thing I have struggled with a little bit is how people have gone on a lot about like my codependency and the stage five clinger thing and that kind of thing. And that's been a little tricky for me because, you know, as women, we go on about, let's stand up for what we believe in. Always be honest in your relationships and voice what you need. And it's like, as soon as someone does that, it's like, you know, oh, okay. So you're standing up for what you believe in to the bachelor. hmm okay and it's like well at the end of the day I'm an occupational therapist I enable

independence for people you know to happen so I am an independent girl but when it comes to relationships yes I am going to be honest I need that closeness and that quality of time and obviously Jimmy's job it was it was very tricky very tricky and like I think a lot of people would struggle with that you know we completely agree with this and it's something that we have said on our battery caps multiple times like and I said it on the last episode we just did I think it's interesting how we can make a villain almost and I'm not saying that you were the villain but we can make a negative out of someone who's just put forward what they want in a relationship and I think props to you for not lying props to you for verbalizing what you needed because it would

have been very easy for you to say no I would be fine and the reality is is that dating a pilot someone who's not going to be around for days or weeks at a time is not going to be everybody's cup of tea and I think that it's a really understandable reaction or like you know it's it's not the situation that you chose to be in you didn't sign up and go I really want to date someone who's only going to be available five days out of you know a 14-day schedule oh that's right you were put into a situation yeah like when I signed up to it I thought I'm gonna give this a go and when I met Jimmy and like we just worked on our connection like I just thought early days let's not even worry about the hard stuff and then as we did grow to like each other and when I came

back and I loved that single date that we went on to the tower I like just had the best time it did start hitting me that like fuck what if it is me at the end of this I don't even know how I'm gonna do this with this life and so it did start to worry me because I know what my family's like and especially when it got to that point at the cocktail party man that was so hard to watch so hard because it was so different it was very tricky it was hard and it was hard seeing the girls reactions too because I was like they knew that was hard for me Brooke the good thing is the silver lining in this whole situation is that whilst we're in lockdown you won't have to see another pilot for a very long time I know right I know I'm like oh look at this point in time I'm

happy to stay away from the airports for a little while brooke before we let you go and get back to your wonderful life tell us what is next for you brooke not reality tv anytime soon but look just thriving and enjoying my job for a while because that's what helps to fulfill me i'm decorating the apartment as well i recently moved into my one better in south yara and i love it. And just, yeah, I don't know, just living my best life and going on as I usually do my happy best self. And that's, that's what people around me love about me. Just keep powering on. Yeah. No pilots though. Brooke, thank you so much. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this interview. We were so, so grateful when you said that you would sit down and chat to us and we

totally understood why there was a period there where you didn't think you would it was honestly like we have loved watching this season we have loved everything that you have brought the intensity the wild craziness at times but also just like the I don't even know how to describe it yeah the realness the innocence the like the fun that you brought to this season without you it would have been fucking boring so thank you so much for talking to us today and we really hope that now that this season is completely finished you can really start to do some healing and take care of yourself do you have any tips maddie do you know what as cliche the best way to get over it is to get under it laura please i'm giving some serious advice here okay so my one bit of advice that i've

always said and this is really really cliche and it's it's going to be like oh geez thanks matt but time heals all honestly it's just it's just time that you need yeah and i cannot wait until you meet the man of your dreams because we are all rooting for you yeah thanks no honestly i literally said this to i think it was easy this morning i was like i'm gonna be single forever after this show you won't be though you know and i know that that's a big fear i think that sometimes when you see yourself played back on tv and you're like god like now like what's gonna happen to my love life it's never the case everybody who's come number two has like been in and out of relationships the runner-up on my season is now happily married and I think

one of the big things about the show is that it really solidifies for you what you want in a partner really makes you hyper aware of what relationships you want what you stand for in a relationship and how to navigate the next one and it makes you really good at talking about your feelings yeah yeah oh I've had a lot of practice there we wish you all the best Brooke and thank you so much thank you guys and thank you for being part of the journey as well and i'm sure we'll bump into each other soon i'm sure of it i can't wait thanks brooke legend all right see you guys well that is it we have finished we have finally put a full stop to the kinky captain's search for love you can go and have a nap now i don't know if you're going to come back for bachelorette but

we crossed the finish line we did it and every single episode where we said this is the last one and then we were like no we're gonna keep on going and keep on going actually guys this is legitimately the last one we want to say thank you to every single person who has sent us some like really heartwarming and kind feedback when we sat down to do this podcast originally and matt and i were like why don't we recap the bachelor that'll be fun we didn't actually expect that anyone would listen to it so thank you all of you who have buckled on in and come along this crazy ass ride with us because i know that not many people were watching the show good to know that you were all listening to it instead and even those people who've yelled out from afar when we've been going

for a walk with the kids being like we love the podcast if i could give you a hug and a kiss i would but i can't because covid so thanks to everyone we just want to get up in your 1.5 meter space and kiss all your faces oh yeah when covid ends we're having a mass orgy with everybody who likes okay you need to stop am i right laura who's with me get your lubricant ready because It's going to be wild. On that note, guys, you know the drill. If you haven't left us a review to say, you know, just that you enjoyed a couple of the episodes, go on,

jump on over to Apple Podcasts, give us a review. If you didn't like them, please don't review it. That would just upset us. And tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your friends, tell your sister and your brother and your uncle and your mum and just everyone and maybe go and have a nap if you're really tired too and you've got two kids who don't let you sleep. And share the love because we love you.

And we'll probably come back and do Bachelorette. We'll keep you posted in the coming weeks. Bye.
