I'm with a bunch of hot single ladies and I can't wait to chat about your wonderful lives. So what's new? We're single. And ready to mingle at Badawack this weekend. So you've been to Bauder Rock before? I have. I've been twice. once actually right before I was on The Bachelor no luck finding love so I went on The Bachelor

and then I was there last year and I was in a relationship and I will say that there were some good-looking men even though I was in a relationship my eyes were still you know look in so I'm really excited to be there and be single this year heck yeah well we are in Napa for Balder Rock it's most of our first times besides Annalise And I'm so excited. We're in a house that kind of emulates a little bit of the Bachelor Mansion, which is kind of, it's like a girl's trip. Bachelor Mansion is, it's bringing up a lot of memories. We've been talking a lot about our memories in the Bachelor Mansion.

And speaking of the gorgeous house we're in, have you guys heard that they're doing an HG TV show? Yes. Renovating the Bachelor Mansion. I have feelings about this. Let's hear it. Are you sad? I don't want them to renovate the Olive Garden. I have so many memories there, Rachel.

Actually, every time I go there, I almost cry. I like the way it smells. I like the way it looks. I feel like I'm just emo because I've spent two seasons there. And I don't ever want it to change. And I want my same room where I have my bunk bed to be the same room. Wait, where was your bunk? Okay, so there's facing the door, the two.

It was if you walk up the side stairs, that corner room. No, yeah. But what bunk bed? Because I was in that room. My bunk was on the left side, top bunk. Oh, I was in the chest. same but bottom. And did you have a ladder to get up to your bunk?

No, no, no, I was bottom bunk. Okay, so we didn't have ladders. So we did not have ladders. I would bounce off Serene's head and I would jump from Serene's bed and I would ricochet into my top bunk with my thin blanket and I would curl up for my two hours asleep and I miss it.

Like I missed the memories of that. Yeah, and Serene probably misses me jumping on her bed because we always had opposite dates. But we were also, like, young and spry, and we could live off of two to four hours of sleep. And it was great. Oh, my God, I'm on The Bachelor. This is the craziest moment of my life. And in the mansion, it's like, what, day four?

Right. And so your, like, adrenaline is still pumping from night one. You're like, oh, my gosh. And I don't want it to do change. I know. It's kind of sad that it's changing because it's just like that's what it's been better. No, but I am excited too, though, because. True.

Something new. Bachelor alum are recreating the mansion. And it is, like, overdue a bit for a makeover. yeah you know so I'm excited to see who they pick to renovate and what they're going to do with it I also feel like they'll keep like the core like values you know they're not going to like make it like completely different but hopefully they'll keep some of the stuff the essence I don't like I don't like it so I'm just putting it out there hey you're so negative I wanted to stay the same forever well I was talking to like Genevieve too and I was like I feel like when you pull up to

the mansion for the first time it looks exactly how it does on TV and it's like the most like iconic place in the most iconic backdrop. And I want everyone to experience that. No, but I think in my mind, the exterior is going to stay the same. It's like solely interior. But this place that we are at in Napa, it would be the most picturex place

for a new revamped bachelor. I could see like golden being filmed here. Oh, I love that. This place is incredible. The views are incredible. And it kind of looks like a revamped version of the Bachelor Mansion. So I feel like if they're going to be, if this is the thing, if they're going to be redoing the Bachelor Mansion, then is it going to be putting a pause on filming or is it going to be a new Bachelor Mansion?

This is what I'm curious about. But I do like this for Golden, specifically because like Napa, Sonoma is a little bit slower paced, you know? And then L.A. is more fast-paced and you've got a bunch of different branches of the city. I think this would be perfect. I agree. I love it. perfect. I love this house. But also it's like remote and beautiful and they have all of the things. I mean, having spent time in the bachelor mansion and then also in the paradise, well,

in in Mexico, how the housing was, like this would be a perfect kind of like housing situation. I agree. Also, we talked a little bit about meals and cooking your own meals in the bachelor mansion, which I think most people now know that we. have to cook all our own meals in the mansion, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, unless it's a row ceremony and it's catered, but otherwise we're like cooking everything ourselves. What was your favorite meal, Annalise? Oh my gosh. I, oh. Was it something you cooked? Was it something someone cooked for you? I think there was always like, there was always certain people that would step up and cook every meals. I don't know if you all had the same experience, but I love cooking and I was always

a little bit bummed because there would be people that were like a little bit of those bullheaded people that were like, I'm cooking today and they would make breakfast for everyone and you're like, that's not really what I want. Was it contestants or producers? Because we had producers like step up. I think our season was so bad. It was contestants. My season, like in the Bachelor Mansion, I think that contestants cooked every meal except for maybe there was, I think there was maybe like a one or two meals that were brought in. But I feel like it was all of us cooking. That's amazing. What was your guys his favorite? I lived off the dinah Nugget. oh the dino nuggets are so good we'd put like 50 of them in the oven and they'd be gone in like two

seconds once you said that i forgot that we had like a request list where we could just be like i want this i want i forgot that was a thing that was like one of my favorite parts because you could get anything we didn't want to have that and like someone would go grocery shopping for you essentially yeah yeah literally oh that was amazing i kind of forgot that existed and that was that's iconic that they showed up like the next day yes yeah or that night or that afternoon Literally whatever you wanted. Even I had a different situation on our season. There were like three people that would cook.

And it was never enough food for like everyone, which isn't their fault because they're not chefs. And it was like, oh my gosh, you had a little food. So you need to do dishes and so-and-so isn't contributing. It was so aggressive. I just didn't eat. Like I think I lost weight in the vegetable engine. I feel like that's how it was for us too.

I was so terrified. You know the like jars of things Like goldfish and all that candy That's what I was eating To hide the cameras though We looked at that as like decor to hide the cameras We didn't touch those I don't think anyone I was

Same My hand was in that bowl That was decoration Nobody touched That's so funny I mean we all ate out of the two The Skittles We did not lose weight our season

We were fed And I think our producers We guys don't know how to cook So we're going to step in. We're going to teach you how to make bacon. We're going to teach you how to make like a frittata. Like we learned everything. And wow.

So you guys were on the Food Network. Yes. They were making you wives. Yeah. No, definitely I gained weight like throughout the season once we left the mansion. But in the mansion, I remember like it was a scary time to be on Clayton's season. Like no it wasn't, but like the shrimp gate. Like there was like just a lot of chefs in the kitchen.

Yeah. It was aggressive. that was I feel like that's what scarred me the shrimp gate as I stayed out of the kitchen after that. Can we do a little recap on on shrimp gate? Yeah so we talked about this earlier today because I needed to recap but yeah

please recap us about Chenet. Genevieve you are the shrimp queen. Long story short I believe someone made shrimp and everyone ate the shrimp. Chenet. No it wasn't her no no no it was Kate. I think Kate okay Kate made shrimp and people ate the shrimp and then Chenet ate shrimp

sorry she ate nine shrimp she made shrimp and then she went to offer the shrimp to people and something about the hot tub Elizabeth didn't turn around and eat the shrimp and so but then Elizabeth said she wasn't in the hot Elizabeth said she was not in the hot tub. Cameras rolled back she was so I don't know so we just had a huge issue argument about I truly to this day cannot look at shrimp it wasn't about the shrimp though it really wasn't it was about like who was in the hot it was just it was a mess yeah I don't know of anyone watch his Vanderpun? But even like besides just the shrimp, like, I know Sierra was in the kitchen a lot.

Like it was a lot of like only certain people would cook. And then it was almost like they were trying to not make enough for everyone. If that like they were like, no, only certain, only who helped. That's what it was. Only the people who helped cut something or helped make. Those are the people that could eat. And if you didn't help or if you weren't in the kitchen at that time, no, you can't eat. I was terrified of every.

Like when I first got there, I was. was so scared so I wouldn't step on anyone's toe I totally feel that like I love to cook and when I was in the bachelor mansion I like all of a sudden felt so nervous like because people would step up and they would start cooking and I was like okay I'm not gonna I'm not I'm not gonna do that like it's their thing they're stepping up like it just felt all of a sudden like okay somebody else is taking control I'm gonna let them take it's like the most beautiful women you've ever seen you're in the house She would like, and I remember just being like, okay, well, I'm out next week. You guys, like, I'm lucky I'm here.

So I just was like so step back. Like, I was not. You're packing. I, yeah, I only packed. Rachel packed like one week of thing. She thought she was going to go home week one. So she didn't even have clothes. Wait, my husband did the same thing.

I was like, if I make it past night one, that is a miracle. Like, truly. And so everyone had addressed me after week two. And then everyone would put their stuff in my suitcase because I had. so much empty room. Oh my gosh. Yeah. How was I supposed to know?

I got past night one. I was like, this is incredible. Like, this is a person in my life. Yeah. Who had known? Yeah. My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly and now I'm seriously suspicious.

Well, wait a minute, Sam. Maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit. Well, Dakota, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast. So we'll find out soon. This person writes, My boyfriend has been hanging out with his young professor a lot. He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her. Now, he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone.

Now, hold up. Isn't that against school policy? That sounds totally inappropriate. Well, according to this person, this is her boyfriend's former professor, and they're the same age. And it's even more likely that they're cheating. He insists there's nothing between them. I mean, do you believe him? Well, he's certainly trying to get this person to believe him because he now wants them both to meet.

So, do we find out if this person's boyfriend really cheated with his boyfriend? professor or not.

So for my season, Colton season, there are people who led certain things, like people who led the kitchen, who led, you know, like cooking things and cooking meals and, like, we're in charge of this. And then there are people who led workouts. Like, they led different sectors. And I just, like, kind of followed along. But I'm wondering if you guys led anything.

No, I followed. Yeah, same. I was too. They were, like, running your season with an iron fist. No, no, our girls were. They were just, the producers were in the kitchen. But, like, for workouts and, like, everything else, I feel like it was just, like, very structured in a way.

I agree. I feel like a lot of that has to do with cast, right? It's the people. So there's, like, always the certain type of people. I can't remember, but I feel like Crystal, who was on my season, I was on R.A. season, she was a fitness guru, and I feel like she may have run a couple workouts.

I can't remember because I did not join. I was probably sleeping. I remember saying to producers, they were like, what time do you want to wake up? I was like, the last one. Wake me up the last. I could care less about doing my makeup, but I would like to sleep.

So I was always like, wake me up the last. But I do know that there were people that were getting up early and doing their workouts and all the things. And I was like, I'm not that person. Yeah, that was not me having. I did one.

I just want to say, I did one. And it was like in the middle of the day in between Margarita, I also remember doing like, so we got announced we're going to Singapore and then it was like a mass like rush to the laundry because there's, I think one or two washing machines, right? Yeah. Maybe one. I think just on our season, we didn't wash.

Who washed them? They washed our stuff. They never did. Yeah. In the mansion? My word. We, what? They told, we gave our like laundry to them.

I kind of remember. And it would take a week to get back. Okay. So I was thinking about this the other day. I remember like having a bag and like giving it to someone. but I think on the day we were leaving for Singapore, we were all rushing and doing our own laundry. Because I was kind of wondering, I don't know.

I definitely did laundry. I feel like I did too. But when we traveled, then you would give it to them. Yes. Huh. I don't know. I'm forgetting. Maybe I just didn't do laundry.

I don't know. All I remember is when we did laundry, we would give them our laundry. Yes. And we would get it back in a bag. Yeah. That was amazing. That was my favorite part of the show. Yeah.

Getting my laundry just. Yeah. I mean Jen never ran. anything. We were in, we were at the bar first. That's where me and Genevieve. That's how we became friends, actually. At the bar. At the bar. Yeah. I do want to say that, okay, so before we

recorded this, we all talked about our secrets because we're supposed to be sharing secrets from the mansion and we all shared our secrets that we that we can't. Legally can't talk about. We wish. But one of the questions on here is, has anyone broken something in the mansion and been

keeping it a secret for years? Oh. Which is pretty pointed. to you guys. Did we break bed? No, someone broke a bed. I already told this. Okay, so I said on Almost Famous with Ben and Ashley, so there was a night,

we would all pretend that we were Toy Story Toys because when the handlers come in your room, you can't be talking to each other. But we weren't even talking about Clayton. Like, we would literally talk to anything. Just talk, yeah, but you couldn't talk. And there was one night, and it was me, serene, Susie and Teddy all in one room

and Serene was standing up on her bed like straight and a handler walked in and she just fell down flat like she was a toy and we heard this IKEA bed crack underneath her like it was actually insane how fast this bed broke and then she ran to the bathroom

and in the process of running to the bathroom she slid into a mirror and broke the mirror yes and it was actually the funniest memory I have in the mansion like I will never forget looking at her from the top of the bed I think that was the fun room I was in a big room with like a bunch of fun room I was the same room it was the fun room I was above shene yeah and I had to climb on her bed to get up to my bed I want to ask a question too because I know when we were in the mansion the temperature in rooms was so different like jennaby's room wasn't it

hot yes and or cold one was hot and one was freezing ours was so cold Susie ours was so cold I was in the big one. It was freezing. Then yours was hot maybe. No, so ours was so cold that one night, Susie went to the pool in the middle of the night and got towels and gave us towels to have more blankets because I remember, I will never forget. I don't remember this. I was in my bed and I couldn't move from the position I was in because of the heat in that position.

And I'm like, if I move, it's going to be freezing. Like, I couldn't move in my bed. I did not have this. I know. It was insane. I don't remember those. I was in the same room as you. your room was hot maybe it was hot and then we opened the doors yes that what it was and i always opened

the doors and people were like and i'm like no we need something yeah then it was hot yes okay i used to blow heat like on my nose under the covers it's like oh that's the worst feeling too i hate that yeah oh wow okay there are a couple intriguing questions here did you guys take any souvenirs from the mansion no not from paradise i took something from the lost and found what I took someone's foundation and it was like the best foundation I've ever used wait what was it what brand tell me there was a lost and found so when we were leaving the mansion to go travel I think there was just a bunch of stuff from people who had left or got eliminated that they left it behind and someone left a narz foundation

and to this day I still use it oh my gosh the same one I wonder let us know who that was that's expired I will still use it but it's good I'm still using a nar's radiant finish it's so good if it was yours please if it was yours let me know because yeah let us know who's that what did you steal from paradise you know like the little bowls I just put like my jewelry in it it's like in a to get you put in your bag yeah I did say he's like I'm not leaving with a man but I leave with this bowl I can't come here and leave with nothing so yeah so I just said I'm going to take something I should have taken five I took two and I felt bad but I love them now And they're good souvenir.

I don't even remember that both. Yeah, I took them both. I know. I shouldn't take it. I don't even remember. I didn't think about it. I didn't take a pillow. I think it was cat from the mansion.

She took a pillow. No, it's like a little like the little. Oh, okay. Interesting. She left so fast. She put in her carrying. I didn't even pack my, I was like, good run-ins. I was out of there.

I didn't even know I was about to be out of there. Oh, mine was always, I was just packed. I was ready to go. Genevue was back to every single day. Every day. She was running down that jungle path every other day. I remember that. That was great. Great TV.

Yeah, that was. Good TV, but just nuts. Didn't you leave that path as well? Like the producer path? Did you get in the van and left? I wasn't able. There was no van for me. I tried.

I literally tried. I was like, please. Did Aaron leave that path? I know that path. I walked that path many a days. Yeah, what about it? Didn't you leave? I tried.

Or did Aaron? Someone left. No, no, no. Like, I, I tried, and then he came after me a few times. Yeah. And then, yeah, I just, I ended up staying. Because I couldn't, there was no van for me. If there was a van for me, I would have been out.

But there was no van. There was no accident vehicle. And it's like a time for a lot. I was begging for a van. And I didn't get either. My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly. And now I'm seriously suspicious. Oh, wait a minute, Sam.

Maybe her boyfriend should. Just looking for extra credit. Well, Dakota, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, my boyfriend has been hanging out with his young professor a lot. He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her.

I wish I could remember. But there were a couple people that were, like, brought in a phone that they turned in,

and then they brought in, like, the burner phone or whatever that they would sneak in. Yeah. Wow. I know there have been people. There definitely have been people. I don't have the reunion someone stuck in a phone. Like, they tried to turn in, like, a four. Why?

You know the iPhone? Why? like an old iPhone. They tried to turn that in, pretend that was fair. Of all the places, that's so lame. Yeah.

To record it or what? No, I think just to talk to people, I don't know. Yeah. Oh. I know people stuck in vapes. Yeah. In Paradise?

Those were like, or a hot commodity. Those were hot commodities. Paradise. Mm-hmm. Yes. Everyone was cheating for the debates. Wait, because our season of Paradise,

I think people had to sneak off to vape off camera. Yeah. Right? No. Nobody was vaping. when I was on Paradise. No, I think they had to sneak off and just be like, wait for a second.

I feel like I remember that happening. Yeah. No one did it on camera. People were just hiding and doing it. They were sneaky. Yeah, they were sneaky. Sneaky. Interesting.

Speaking of sneaky, the last one that's sticking out to me, do you know anyone that has found a path to sneak out of the Bachelor Mansion and successfully done it? No. I also don't know who would like want to do that. Because I feel like if you want to leave, you would leave, right? That's what I'm saying.

I was going to say that. Jenny was like, I tried to leave every day. They wouldn't give me a ban. I would have. Like, people knew the amount of times Jenny tried to leave. Yeah. No, wait, I feel like it's easy.

You could go to that little, like, Malibu spot. If you wanted to leave the mansion. I didn't even have time to sleep. I didn't even think about leave. Like, I'm just like, I want to sleep and. You're trying to survive. Yeah. Yeah.

The minute I wanted to leave, I was like, I want to leave. And I left. It was on camera. I never wanted to leave. leave. I wanted to say forever. No, I like, I eliminated myself on The Bachelor. It was like, okay, I think it's time for me to go and I left. But I, like, I can't imagine, I can't imagine being like I want to go and then having to, like, sneak that.

I feel like if people want to go, they go. I know people were sneaking out when they did the COVID seasons. Oh, when they were stuck in the hotel? Yeah, when they were at. Where did they go? it was on i think matt james's season people were like running weren't they in like pennsycola pennsylvania uh nemacolin i do this one is called i don't know but i do know people were people were not in the room sometimes there i do know that but that wasn't the mansion okay

but it was probably a little bit easier because they all kind of were like so spread out across that um little hotel but that's the only thing i know about i know people snuck out in Thailand when we were in Thailand on my season and then this isn't sneaking out but it felt sneaky a producer left an iPad in my room oh which was very sneaky and I got to lock on to the internet and I got to do a lot of things that's fun we've tried to throw her suitcase over the balcony I didn't actually try this is just no no it was in Croatia I just could have if I wanted to because we are like balconies were near the ground And so every day, Jeremy's like, I could go.

Every day, I was like, Rachel, it's my last day. I was going to her room to get an outfit because I didn't have any outfits. And she'd be like, I'm going to leave later. So you can just have an outfit. Like, I'm like, just take it. She would be like, I'm leaving tonight. And I'm like, no, you're not. And she did it.

But every day she threatened. Oh. Until I got sent. Did you leave yourself? No. I know. I went on a cycle of that. I don't remember.

I don't remember. know. Yeah, she laughed. She loved. And I got broken up with. Oh, no. Like Clayton. And I was wearing blue with the break of blue. Wait, you never forget the outfit. You got dumped it. Never. Never. And I still have the dress. I was going to say, do you still have it? Because I still have the dress that I left in from The Bachelor. And I can't part with it. I actually think it's cute still. So maybe I'll wear it. I have, yeah, I have the outfit that it got dumped in. I have the outfit that me and Dean, our first date was in. And then the outfit. he dumped me in and then they asked

oh my god you came back in most of all this do I have my row ceremony from hell dressed with all the dirt on it from laying on the stairs oh my gosh oh my gosh that I got broken up in the root I have everything besides the eyelash

that's the one eye lash on our cheek they're not going to make me getting this do you have your dress from your uh didn't you have the I don't remember like breakup that was like he wasn't there yes it was on Zoom no that was really on Zoom

I forgot about that. I do remember that one. No, yeah. And I was literally like, I was like, there's no way. Like, they should have just canceled that most of the money. I was so loud. I should have had immunity into next week. Literally.

What do you mean? I know I had people DMing me like, that's kind of iconic. The Zoom, I'm like, is it? It's not. No, everyone should have went to the next week. Like, I think we could have all agreed that like that's what that was happened. And I'm sure Zach would have wanted that too.

No, literally just imagine me like, he doesn't say my name. And it's like, okay mrsa's like say your goodbye so i'm like crying telling the girls by and then you walk up to the screen no i can't sorry i can see yeah like thanks for everything like it was so weird it was yeah it's not it no it was so bad i forgot about that it was so bad like bye guys it's not what you love cam like the no the quality of the video too was like grainy and he probably had like no choice too he was probably like i don't want to do this yeah no it was like delayed 10 seconds too so you're like your audio is not matching up what did you say goodbye it's like so quiet

normally I'm like thank you so much like you're like softly talking to them and then you're just so loud everyone hears you have to like scream yeah was he in a suit yeah he was in a suit and our dates that week were on zoom too oh awkward they really made us do dates on zoom and they didn't air it well they aired a few they aired a few I do not I remember the The rose ceremony. I do not remember any dates on Zoom. I remember the rose ceremony and I'm like, this is not real. Yeah. It was so.

Not that it was his choice again. Yeah. No, he was above him, but yeah. That feels like a lot of good secrets.
