The Viall Files - E391 Bachelor Recap With Jim Jefferies Plus Genevieve
Episode Date: March 9, 2022Today we are joined by Comedian and Bachelor Fan, Jim Jefferies! On this DOUBLE episode of Bachelor Recap we break down the explosive Women Tell All and discuss all the drama from Fantasy Suites. Refl...ecting on the Tell All, we ask if the rest of the women stooped to Shanae’s level, turning themselves into mean girls and going too far by trying to get revenge. We also question if Shanae is evil or if the power of the edit is strong enough to make someone making bad choices look like a villain. We then have Genevieve call in to get the real deal on all of the season’s drama and to hear her reasoning for going so hard on Shanae in the Tell All. We question Genevieve’s comments about Shanae having a “diaper outfit” and calling her a hypocrite. We then dive into Fantasy Suite discussion, talking about how many contestants you should have sex with, how sure the Bachelor is going into the fantasy suite, and how Clayton may ruin everything he has going for him. We also talk about how Clayton saying he loves someone might reveal the winner and how this crazy season will come to an end. “They say ‘I love you’ over and over again for 8 hours. That messes with you.” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

made aware of. Because it's
supposed to be
monumental,

somewhere in the middle of the night or
early Tuesday morning, we're going to
recap for Monday night's Bachelor
finale, which I will be making
a guest appearance on AFR

I think, because apparently it's nuts.
Christina Harris, big Bachelor fan,
will be with us on Monday
to break down Monday night's
episode of The Bachelor.
On Tuesday, the finale,
we are having the wonderful,
the amazing Ali Barthel.
You know her, you love her, she's going to be in LA
and she's going to come and watch it with us
so she'll be in studio
not remote
I couldn't think of a better person to break down this
mess of a finale, everyone loves Ali
so we are happy to have Ali
for the finale and
the fourth episode
I have been promised by the show
we are going to get i guess the runner-up
because it sounds like it's gonna be kind of a mess i don't know if we're gonna like what does
it mean to be runner-up this season i don't know because like if clayton is he with someone is he
not what does that mean but i've been told that uh we'll get possibly the angriest of the uh
women so there might be a lot of angry women i've i've been told that we'll get the angriest of the uh women so there might be a lot of angry women i've i've been told
that we'll get the angriest it's either going to be gabby rachel or suzy and they will be coming
directly from afr to the hot seat so to speak and we will be uh well talking to them. And that will come out also first thing Wednesday morning.
So four episodes, lots of cover,
but we think it's worthwhile,
and I think you guys do as well.
Tomorrow we have an amazing episode for you.
The wonderful Ashley Green.
You know her from the Twilight Empire.
She is with us to talk all things.
Get our thoughts on the
new Batman movie. Her
former co-star, Robert Patterson.
She has
a new podcast coming out.
We're going to get into a little euphoria.
Also, we have an amazing
mediation call with Nick and
Danielle from Love is Blind 2.
Are you watching Love is Blind 2 at all? I don't
watch that one. I'm just a bachelor person is Blind 2 at all? I don't watch that one.
I'm just a bachelor person.
Give it a shot.
I don't know.
Okay.
All right.
I don't want to force it.
Has any of the relationships from Love is Blind worked out?
Yeah.
There's one from season one that people apparently really, really respond to.
And there's a couple who just got married that we're going to talk to.
Are you allowed to ask what each other looks like?
You're not allowed to ask anything like that?
No.
You look like a dick if you do.
And one man did.
Yeah.
And he looked terrible.
He was like, I love buying people clothing.
What size are you?
Yeah.
Didn't work out for him.
Love is blind?
Yeah.
What size are your feet?
Like, are they massive type of?
He asked her if he, he's like, could I put you on my shoulders at a concert?
And would it be easy?
And she said, I don't know what she said.
Like at first it was like, is that a fair question or not?
But he just ended up being a real ass.
He is a real dick.
I feel like it is blatantly not a fair question.
Yeah, but I feel like, okay, it's all right.
You people have nice speaking voices i got this
nasally australian thing going on i don't know if i would be able to get anyone in love is blind
people love an australian gem in america not this voice though i i don't know i think you'd be all
right hardly morgan freeman tune in tomorrow for our going deeper episode with ashley green nick
and and dan yell from love is blind we'll be talking about all that fun stuff. You won't want to miss it.
All right.
We have a lot to cover.
Do we have any Bachelor...
We have a little something
that I would like your opinion on.
One Miss Tammy.
You know her.
You love her.
Recently on Paradise.
Posted on her Instagram.
And she had some very choice thoughts
about the Bachelor franchise.
She said her contract was up in April,
so I don't think she can say everything she wants to say,
but she clearly was not happy in any way.
I think it's annoying when people,
they use two arguments to make the real point,
which is she seems to be mad about not getting attention
from producers in the show that she thinks she deserves.
I mean, she mentioned lack of diversity on the show.
I mean, listen, we know that the show has a bad history when it comes to diversity,
that they've drastically improved in the past couple years,
and I hope they continue to work on it,
and I hope they continue to platform and give representation
to all different types of love stories.
Wait a minute, a contract?
I thought you just did a season and a season.
Oh, you're like under contract for a year
where they basically tell you what you can and can't do media-wise.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
But as far as Tammy goes, like, she's, you know,
it's a tale that is all the time with Bachelor Nation.
I hear it all the time.
And there's always a group of cast members
who always will say something to the effect of,
producers only give you attention when they want something from you.
And you know what?
That's totally true.
That's 100% true.
It also goes both ways.
The fakeness of friendships goes both ways between producers and cast and cast and producers.
Cast, and I would argue, more from cast to producers.
They're always reaching out to producers asking for favors how
to get on paradise and things like that and i would be i would be willing to bet most of the
cast have no idea what producers last names are or their birthdays or what their family situation
is or what's going on and that's fine too but don't pretend like they're desperately trying to
be their friends like it's a show it's a tv show producers look at cast is well cast potential
cast and if you're not a star of of their show then you you will get less attention like uh
recent this past week uh a bunch of people a bunch of stars from the show got asked to do a
family feud so you know nate, Nate, Michelle, Rodney,
Thomas, Becca Kufrin,
Joe, Serena P,
they're stars.
That's like the all-star cast. Yeah, that's their current.
Who did they play?
My friend Reese Darby
and his family just were on
Celebrity Family Feud.
I think it was Bachelor
versus Bachelor.
Sometimes they've mixed it up.
And I would be willing to bet
if Tammy got a call
saying,
do you want to be on
Celebrity Family Feud?
She wouldn't have complained about any of this.
And it's like, she's been on two seasons.
She's got plenty of air time.
I don't get why some people on the show think they're somehow...
You went on a reality TV show and you've been on twice.
Your time has probably run its course.
They might ask you back, but you're not one of their stars
like not everyone gets to be and that's i don't i don't like nick's like talk to me when you've
done four that doesn't it no it's just like just move on and or or not but like no one cares that
your contract's up and and and whatever i don't even know which one she is. Exactly. I'm trying to remember which one Tammy is.
Tammy?
Pull up a... She's not on this season.
She was on Bachelor in Paradise.
She was in a love triangle
with Thomas and Aaron
for a minute.
Oh, yes.
And she goes
to all the events.
Also, she won't be done.
You'll see her
at other events.
I do think, though,
to be fair,
of The Bachelor,
because I think Bachelor is trying to get, of The Bachelor, because I think Bachelor
is trying to get
a lot less white,
and I think, like,
AAPI representation
is some of, like,
the thinnest on the show.
I hope the show continues
to explore diversity
in all ways.
And so,
but I don't think
that's why Tammy complained
that the producers
don't call her
and ask her to do more things
or do one of their podcasts
or do Celebrity Family Feud
or whatever it is she's upset about.
Yeah, there's nothing.
I think that was a disingenuous comment to bring up
when she was more focused on not getting a call from the bat phone, so to speak.
Well, we have Genevieve calling in shortly so let's
let's dive in to the tell-all a little bit before genevieve come calls in i mean it's a typical
tell-all i thought it was it was more toxic than usual yeah right a lot of yelling a lot of yelling
i mean i don't again this is not about me.
Like, Sinead, Sinead is Sinead.
Whether she, you know, she certainly didn't, she wasn't contrite,
but it didn't seem like, to me, like she had much of an opportunity to talk.
What opportunity did she need?
They kept on asking him the questions.
Did you lie about this thing?
No, I never lied to him.
And then, you know, that's all that she really needs to say.
And then they did the whole broke-ass Meryl Streep stuff on her.
Yeah.
And I think she got what she deserved.
But the problem was because they all did it.
It could have been happening in a couple of sentences.
But because they all did it at once, then they started to look like the mean girls,
which is really playing into Sinead's hands
as playing the victim all the bloody time.
I don't have a difference of opinion with Sinead.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, she didn't come out and change my mind,
which is maybe she was kind of problematic.
It's just more they just stooped to her level.
So now you're just the same.
They constantly called her a bitch the whole episode.
They called her a hypocrite?
Genevieve asked if she was wearing a diaper.
So they're mocking her outfit.
One girl asked if she was, like,
locked in a room as a child.
They told her she would never find love.
They, like...
They're right, though.
They're right, though.
She was pretty evil.
I don't know if there's been
a bigger villain on The Bachelor.
Like, I understand what happened to the girls. The girls were so pent up with, like, She was pretty evil. I don't know if there's been a bigger villain on The Bachelor.
I understand what happened to the girls.
The girls were so pent up with like, if I don't say it now,
I'll never say it, and it all just came flooding out at once.
She's not a good egg, that one.
I don't know.
You seem to be defending her.
She's not a good egg.
I've been on the show, so I know how it works.
I've asked around, is she like a bad, an egg, so to speak?
And they're like, no.
She's a totally fine, nice person.
Also, these women were all gassed up.
And when they start, this is how tell-all works.
There's a reason why Serene and Teddy weren't part of that drama.
It was all a bunch of women you barely remember from earlier in the season,
and then kind of that middle of the pack.
Yeah, yeah.
And it's kind of like, hey, listen, you know, Paradise is around the corner,
and, well, let's be honest.
You weren't on it the whole time, so let's see what she got.
It's an audition opportunity. And it wasn't about getting back,
it was about airtime.
It reminded me of the presidential primary debates when everybody has their hat in the ring
and everybody's trying to make their moment happen.
And because it took on a more negative tone,
it was kind of one-upping each other.
Sierra, who had a lot to say about everything,
and she was a real middle-of-the-packer. Yeah, it's of one-upping each other. Sierra, who had a lot to say about everything, and she was a real
middle-of-the-packer.
Yeah, it's that middle-of-the-pack.
I honestly thought
the only real winner of,
like, because, like,
Teddy was net neutral.
We liked her before.
Serene was net neutral.
We liked her before.
It was...
Marlena.
Marlena was, to me, the winner,
where at the end of the episode,
she's like, listen,
I don't...
Who are we...
Like, I'm gonna...
I can't
decide if you're a narcissist or not like we she she gave some kind of like i don't know like it's
a crazy world and i was like you know what that's a bigger person i've dated toxic people yeah they're
very manipulative the toxic people and they make you think that oh no maybe i'm doing something
wrong and everyone else is lying to me and they play the game and man that's that's what she was doing to like like you got to give him credit he
did get rid of her maybe not as quickly as they all wanted him to but he did eventually go all
right well this you have to go and so i i don't i thought that was the nicest comment at the very
end when she said yeah i thought it was the nicest comment. Again, to me, it's not about defending Sinead. It's about, I don't get how,
if you want to be just as bad,
you get to be just as bad.
If you don't get to take this high road
and just be like, you have terrible character,
you're a toxic person,
and then just be toxic to prove your point.
Yeah, but what do you get taught in school?
If a bully punches you, you punch him back, right?
That's what I know.
I know in hindsight, watching it, maybe it wasn't the right choice.
But in the moment, if that girl screwed you over in the show,
screwed you over, said that you were fake and you were cool.
I can't remember.
Who was the blonde girl that she was just lying about,
said, oh, she wouldn't talk to me and she said all the things.
If I was that girl, I'd want to have i have my shot yeah back at her you were elizabeth did lie
about about being in the hot tub she was in the hot tub okay but elizabeth lied when we're not
going to talk about like shanae's lies were egregious elizabeth lies are potentially explained
by i'm just like maybe i'm getting maybe i maybe i am forgetting but i'm just wondering someone explained to me that the how what were her outrageous lies i i did some i did
some background checking all i've heard is shanae is not like this she's not going to win a no ball
prize like she's not you know what i'm saying so like she's not like this Machiavellian strategic person. She was kind of immature, and she was ignorant.
Remind me.
Maybe I'm forgetting.
I don't know.
You got the hots for Sinead, man.
No, not at all.
I don't know, because I thought she was maybe the biggest villain we've ever had.
She was.
She would lie, and then she would do that stupid thing afterwards when they did the screen.
She goes, that's one bitch gone.
Come and get me.
Like that.
I've got another one gone.
She would just lie about it.
And then she's like, this person said that I was fake and blah, blah, blah.
And she's just an actress and all that type of stuff.
No, I'd be pissed with her as well.
If only for her getting up and doing the fucking whippy dance
or whatever the fuck it was.
Shanaynay.
Yeah, fuck that.
It was terrible.
I'm just saying, like, I don't get how that makes it okay.
Like, yes, it's at high school.
Yes, was that what you do in high school?
So if you want to say, if these girls want to say, yes, I'm just as mature, immature,
and I just don't get how someone, I don't get how one person can be the bully when it's
a group.
To me me that was
bullying i agree i agree that it was a really bad luck to have all those like women speaking in that
way to shanae in that setting but i do think they tried i think part of it was this pent-up
frustration of like i've tried to reason with you and i cannot get through to you like elizabeth
tried every single possible way to explain to her like a very basic social dynamic. She'd just calmly say, hey, listen.
Yeah, but people get frustrated.
No, they did that on the show.
They tried to be calm on the show.
They accepted her apology on the show and even tried to be nice to her.
And then you've got to understand that what they did now
is after they saw the episode.
They disliked her and thought that she was a lying bitch on the actual show, right?
And then they watched the show and it was proved to them.
And then they were all pent up and like, I'm going to get her.
I get it.
They could have handled it a lot better, but I totally get where everyone's coming from.
The house is always the bully on that show.
It just is.
The house is the bully.
And does that excuse behavior?
I say this every time we talk about shanae
no she was not a good person this season and she didn't prove to be any better in the tell-all
i just don't get how like if you're going to talk about someone's character character like if you
want to say you sucked and be sucky back but when you if you're talking about someone's character
and characters about like taking the high road or looking the other way or rising above,
I'm just saying you don't get to think
of you're somehow of some higher moral character
than the person who talks some shit about you.
I don't know.
Speaking of talking shit, Genevieve is here.

you for having me all right uh so we're currently talking about tell all before you you called in
uh i guess mixed opinions on on the
performance have you have you seen it yet I have not okay I have not seen it
what is your that yeah what is your perception of how you and some of your
peers acted on the show towards chinette tell all not the show yeah specifically
tell all I know
that we all definitely had something to
say
I for sure said everything
that I wanted to say
it was a very long night I do
not remember all the like little commentary
I'm not sure about that
but I got to go
I know I got to go in the hot seat with Sinead and we were like,
she kind of pulled something up. I'm not sure if it's shown, but.
That you having sex with Aaron Clancy.
Yeah. And that was like, just ridiculous.
Just to say that's not true, everybody. after that i kind of just i was like she
hasn't changed she's not here to try and get any redemption or apologize so yeah even if you did
have sex with aaron who gives a shit yeah you're single i mean yeah it's not this one's business
but yours sure i mean i i honestly just to be honest i thought you guys were really mean.
Like your comment about like Sinead wearing diapers as she walked up to the hot seat before you walked up there.
That's the only misstep I think you made.
I don't think you were mean at all.
I'm not like Nick at all.
I think Sinead had it coming to her.
No, everyone was very honest.
And that's the thing. i don't think anyone said
anything that wasn't true and if everyone kind of saw what we saw um i don't know i think she
had it coming for her honestly i'm just having a hard time understanding how everyone can heckle
like i don't think shanae was great at all i mean she has a lot of things to be
accounted for i just have a hard time understanding because so many of the conversations were about
shanae's character and i'm just having a hard time understanding how the things that were all
said to shanae and when she goes up there you guys are heckling her and calling her a bitch and
saying fuck you and mocking her
dress i'm just having a hard time understand how it's like any different maybe it's the same i just
don't understand how it's better so in my opinion it's just like okay i guess you guys are all
in the same field and i understand the frustration of being mad at shanae i i get that but it's just
more like why not why not take the high road is my question.
Because we tried so many times, honestly.
We just, we tried so many times to be nice to her.
I, multiple times, had conversations with her off camera that wasn't shown.
And we were fine.
Everyone, most people try to give her the benefit of the doubt.
And it's like, we just did that so benefit of the doubt and it's like we just
did that so many times and now it's just not even worth it anymore so i guess yeah i don't know i
don't remember saying fuck you um but i do remember it was uh who was about her dress i
thought it was a better dress because it did i'm sorry it looked like a black diaper under her dress
um and i didn't know that was going to, I don't know.
It was just my commentary.
And yeah,
I don't regret anything.
And I honestly think she had it coming for her.
She was very fake to all of us.
She would lie.
She would act fake to us,
go to Clayton and say that we were being bullies when we were being very nice to her.
So she just,
she's just full of lies.
And I don't feel bad about anything.
Fair enough.
Nick, every movie you see, you see there's someone bullied,
and then at the end of the film, the town people beat the bully
and kick him out, and we all rejoice,
except for you where you think that the bloody bully
should stay there running the bloody place.
I think bloody is a loose term used in Bachelor Nation.
In my experience, the house is usually the bully.
This is how I, in my experience.
I don't know.
Sinead was a special level of evil, man.
I'm telling you.
No, she was definitely shitty.
No one in the house was a bully, honestly.
Like, we were so nice to her in the beginning until she flipped that switch.
I just mean the house in general.
Yeah.
Okay.
Can we talk about the fact, I mean, obviously, Sinead brought up you and Aaron, but then you said that, quote, I know you've been DMing him.
He sent me screenshots. He thinks you're crazy. How did Sinead find
out you guys didn't even met? So I think
maybe three months ago or something, I was out at a bar and I saw Aaron
and I posted something.
You just posted a picture of them and then she took that?
I posted, it was a picture at a bar.
And that's the only thing that I could think of because that's the only time
I've ever seen him.
So I'm assuming that's what she was talking about and where she got it.
But she had no, I mean, she had no evidence.
Even if you did, no one, you're off the show. Even your even if i did that's not it just doesn't make sense it's not something to throw at
me like i was off the show um clayton is potentially engaged and so i think i have the right to do what
i want that is that is true were you guys hoping for shanae to like what were your expectations of shanae when she
came on tell all like what were you guys hoping for i had some hope that maybe we could all
like come like just come to some um agreement i guess and just all be okay because that's
all of us girls have a very good relationship and it is sad to see that
Sinead's not in that but we know that she did that um so I really was going and hoping that maybe
I wasn't looking for an apology directly to me but maybe just an apology to everyone for
manipulation or whatever you want to call it um and it was just like the complete opposite so I
think that's why everyone was just like, really, this is not,
she had, and I know Cassie said,
Cassie was like kind of her friend in the house. And she said,
I was hoping that you would kind of use this time,
but you're not giving me anything and I can't really have your back in this
situation.
I think if Sinead came on and she just said,
I've watched the show back and I regret even just some of the things I said.
She didn't regret anything.
And so it sort of fell into her lap because she came on,
basically said, I don't regret nothing.
And then the girls all attacked her and now she gets to play the victim again.
I don't think she gets to play the victim.
She is.
Right now we're saying poor Shanae.
They all picked on her.
Maybe I'm
not articulating my words correctly.
I'm not defending Sinead or protecting her. I think she didn't do anything to
redeem herself.
I don't understand
the two wrongs make a right
argument.
I just like...
You all just sat there and said nothing?
I would have like...
I would have more calmly... I and said nothing? I would have like made more... Yeah, that's the thing.
I'm not...
I would have more calmly...
None of us were about to say nothing.
Yeah, I don't know if I would have said what they said.
It's just my opinion.
In the moment, it's very hard.
It's very, yeah.
It's very hard to respond to something emotionally heightened
in a calm and collected way,
especially when that like emotionally heightened thing...
It is hard, but that's what we refer to as people like who...
Well, Marlena did it.
I'm just saying.
I've lost my shit on TV in the moment.
I've done it.
I told Piers Morgan to fuck off.
I lost my shit.
I lost it.
Yeah, we all have a right to do.
I'm just saying, like,
I just don't get the two wrongs make a right.
That's all I'm saying.
I don't think anyone, I'm very careful to,
like, you know, I don't know if you watched'm very careful to, like, you know,
I don't know if you watched Katie's season, Genevieve.
I do not.
But there was a gentleman named Thomas.
I don't know.
Do you remember Thomas?
I remember Thomas.
I met Thomas.
He came to one of my shows.
He's a nice guy.
He's all right.
Those guys called him a narcissist, and they had some,
and I don't know anything about Sinead.
Yeah, but Thomas was no Sinead.
I know he wasn't.
Thomas was just better looking than everybody and just like a little tiny,
and you said he wanted to be the bachelor.
Sure.
Which, of course, everyone.
Janet, did you want to be the bachelorette or was that never on your radar?
Honestly, I could never, I wouldn't be able to do that.
It was too much for me.
I think potentially paradise is something I could do, but.
I don't think you'd enjoy being the bachelor either
because I saw you in the therapy session,
all that type of stuff.
No, you're like me because how could you do every episode
and just do this whole, yeah,
I believe a woman's heart needs to be protected.
And I put my barriers up.
Everyone's talking about their fucking barriers
and when they go down and how they never open up to people and how they're shy and they're on fucking tv right no you could you couldn't have
had that conversation a million times i don't think it's for you either it's a it's a tough
thing to do about the therapy i wanted to ask you because like on the tell all you're this out you
were very outspoken you were you were outspoken earlier in the season and then on therapy were
you just like done with it?
Like you became very quiet.
You didn't, you seemed like you couldn't find the words.
And what was your thought process there?
Did you think it was like fake therapy?
Or what was your, in your head that kind of like made it look like you, at least from our eyes, you just kind of shut down?
So honestly, going into that date, I was kind of um i knew it was my time to go
and i was i don't know if this can be shown i'm sorry but i was planning to talk to clayton
at night um at the group date and tell him like i just wasn't ready to go to hometown okay so you
were gonna and so when this therapy so when the therapy came up i'm like well there's no way of
getting past this without having the conversation
that I wanted to have.
So I kind of knew it was coming.
And I had no previous time to kind of dive deep with my feelings with Clayton.
So I wasn't about to just let everything out,
like knowing that I was going home.
Yeah, that makes sense.
So I just, yeah, I stayed silent.
I didn't know what to say.
Who wants to have bloody therapy on TV?
Anyway, that's the problem.
You've got two types of dates.
You've got the date, the single date where you get to do something fun
and go buy clothes or get massaged or it suits you up each other's body.
Or you've got a group date where you'll be punching each other
or you'll have to talk about some uncle who did something bad to you
or something, you know what I mean?
There's some therapy thing that's very upsetting that you'll have to emotionally do something or you'll have to talk about some uncle who did something bad to you or something, you know what I mean? There's some therapy thing that's very upsetting
that you'll have to emotionally do something
or you'll get physically hurt.
Group dates, you're getting hurt.
That's the only way around it.
100%.
That's true.
Even watching this last episode, they're just like,
oh, what did you do on a date?
Oh, we went down into a cave in the bottom of the earth.
What did you have to do?
I had to ride a dune buggy where I wore a helmet after
making my hair really nice and try to look pretty and I had to ride a dune buggy where I wore a helmet after making my hair really nice and
try to look pretty and I have to wear a helmet
and roll around in the mud and say
it was fun. Just get to the bloody bedroom and have
sex. That's what we're all trying to do.
We're going to
see you in paradise or like
if you get asked, you'll go?
There's a good chance, yes.
So you live in Hollywood,
Greg? I live in LA. You're from Boston so you live in Hollywood, Greg?
I live in L.A.
You're from Boston.
You live in L.A.
And should I call you an actress?
Are you an aspiring actress, or is that just not a thing?
That's honestly not a thing.
I've done modeling, but I've never, ever done acting in any sense.
And, yeah, I have no plans to.
I've never done it well myself. It would also be, it's okay if you ever did too.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, and no, go ahead, research,
and there's nothing I've ever acted in.
We didn't say you were a successful actress.
You haven't got nine BB page yet.
You might just be hopeless.
Genevieve, thank you so much for coming.
We enjoyed watching you this season.
You were my fave, Genevieve.
You were my number one in the show.
I wanted you to win. I was opening a bachelorette.
I wish you all luck in the world.
Jim definitely hopes to see you in Paradise
and we all do as well. Best of luck.
Thank you for having me.
Take care. Thank you. Bye.
I do a thing with my
wife and my
kid. What we do is, I told you this last podcast,
what we do is we bet on all the different people.
And you can only place your bets once they get out of the limo.
Genevieve was my horse right away.
That was the one I put all the money on.
I said, yeah, you bloody lost me some cash there, Genevieve.
Not a lot.
We're doing like 20 cents.
I'm doing it with a nine-year-old.
It's probably not the show for it
I just fast forward
Through the fantasy suites
My son watches a whole series
In about 10 minutes
Just the bits he can watch
Wait was I supposed to hang up
When I said bye?
Yeah yeah
That's how it works
This is your first time
With a phone
Okay
Alright
Nice to meet you
Bye Genevieve
Thank you
Bye All right. Nice to meet you. Bye, Genevieve. Thank you. Bye.
She's still your favorite? I'm in the hang up when I say bye.
Whatever.
I get where she's coming from, though.
Maybe I'm taking crazy pills, and I'm sure most people will agree with Jim.
I think what it is is, like, your experience in Bachelor was one of, like, being ostracized from the main group and so of course
it's not even just about like me projecting about my i'm not saying you're projecting though but i
think like you've seen through that most people who have been on the outside are villains who
kind of get like exiled from back bachelor nation i and i say when i say like the house is the bully
i don't think and jenny v was quick to be like none of us bullied her when i say the house like it's a group mentality it's a group mentality it's a mob
mentality and i just i don't see how and again she hasn't watched yet and we don't know how
twitter is going to react but i just don't get how someone can say uh like whatever shanae did
how if you want to stoop to their level, then stoop to their level.
Now you're on their level.
Do you want to fight fire with fire or just get burned by someone else's fire?
Yeah.
But what did they...
Sinead was annoying.
Sinead was probably annoying to be around.
Lied to their faces constantly and then mocked them about it.
Okay.
And, yes, and she did...
Yes!
I've seen other villains
on the show.
Who was that blonde girl
who got kicked off
in the double date
with the twins, right?
There's many, many scenes.
Olivia, yeah.
Olivia.
And they have come
to apologize.
And I believe that Olivia
was hardly done by.
I don't believe she did
much wrong
and they all really
went after her
and she was made
into a villain
and she had to go
to social media
and go to therapy
and I feel like
she was edited very badly.
Sinead, I don't think so.
I am telling as someone who
has talked to people is that like, well,
Sinead did some shit.
Yes, there is editing and she got
a, there definitely is editing
and she
has stuff to be apologized.
If she apologized
just a little bit i would have just
gone all right she did not redeem herself it has my comments have nothing to do with shanae's
behavior and maybe i stand alone in a world where it's just apparently it's like if someone
does something to you if you dated shanae would you trust her i wouldn't date you not not not
a bit like i'm saying in a fantasy world where all your dreams
come true.
If you got to,
yeah, like you wouldn't,
you couldn't, boy.
No, I'm just kidding.
Anyway, so
if you dated Shanae,
would you trust her?
Not like for infidelity reasons,
just like that she wouldn't
be a bit conniving
and a bit,
wouldn't cause you grief
in your life.
But I don't find her personality remotely attractive.
I know, but yeah, okay, you're not getting the game.
You're just like...
Ignore all of that.
If anybody was dating her, should they trust that she's not going to be...
Say your buddy was dating her.
She's a shit stirrer.
She looks like a shit stirrer.
She's a shit stirrer.
She's the type of person that you leave a party and you're in the car
and you go, I wasn't talking to that girl.
What?
That person wasn't being mean to you. What are you talking about? That person was being mean
to you. The person was just joking around with you. And then you got to talk about forever.
And then you can't talk to your friend Gavin anymore because he ate all the fucking shrimp.
Right. You know, it's just, she's one of them. I've dated them. Pain in the neck.
I'm doing a terrible job of articulating my point.
I feel, I think what you're saying is Sinee didn't make herself look any better but the group made themselves
look worse yes correct that's all I'm saying they just and I don't I completely
get why they they did it why they made themselves worse I understand why
someone can get that mad but I don't think that makes them any better don't
you say anything about Genevieve she was trying to be nothing they said
to jenna she doubled down on the diaper comment or i was i don't know if i respect it i was shocked
by that i mean she was like she did look like she was wearing a diaper but i don't get it and that's
fine if she wants to say that good for her but we're also like criticizing shanae for doubling
down i just i'm i feel like i'm taking crazy pills by like one side being like,
it's totally fine if someone does it first. And basically it gives us like full authority to say
whatever the fuck we want. And there's no limit to how nasty we can act towards a person because
they acted nasty to us. You gotta retaliate. If you, if you, if you have a kid, if you have a
kid and they're in school and they've been punched by a bully every day, what's your advice?
Eventually, you go, walk away, walk away, ignore it, ignore it, ignore it.
And then as a parent, you go, punch them back.
Eventually, you do.
You've got to stand up to bullies.
Their biggest gripe is for lying and she threw a trophy.
I mean, lying is a big deal but lying's a big deal.
It's a big deal.
She said falsehoods about people that sent people home.
I can tell you, Sinead didn't get anyone sent home.
Do you think though people were sent home because they lacked time with Clayton because of her drama?
People got sent home because Clayton wasn't interested in them and they weren't relevant to the story or Clayton's
love life.
And Shanae,
because either
she wanted airtime
or not,
decided to act
a certain way
and the women
focused on Shanae.
They helped create
the villain
that was Shanae.
If they ignored Shanae,
Shanae would have
been sent home.
Also,
Clayton liked,
as Clayton admitted,
he liked Shanae at least some level.
He was attracted to her.
No, if they ignored Sinead, she wasn't going home.
She was there forever if they ignored her.
The only reason she went home is because every single one of them went up
and said something, and eventually he was worn down.
I thought it was a bit much when they got into him for not sending her home earlier
because I'm like, the guy was just figuring things out.
It's his choice.
It's his journey.
Yeah, he was just figuring things out.
We've all been with that person that your friends say don't go out
with that person but you're a little bit spellbound by them
and then eventually and then in the light of day you go,
what the fuck was I thinking?
And he probably has these after watching the show,
the what the fuck I was thinking moment,
but maybe he didn't.
Maybe he's going to end up with her because I predict that he is going to end up with
no one.
We're in an eye for an eye society.
There's a little bit more in Teller.
What about, who else was the other one that got up where they all bloody ripped into her?
Oh, the girl who-
Sarah.
She said she didn't cry.
He said he didn't cry.
That was too big.
Sarah lied. Sarah lied Sarah lied but he was very defensive about that I did not cry on any date with her I just want that to be
known Sarah didn't Sarah post something about like the truth would come out and that we would all like
hear the truth and she definitely did not Sarah should work in PR the way she was pivoting out of like like she lied on camera
like actively during the tell-all and then was still like pivoting out of it a moment later I
was like work in PR she had that bit when you're lying where you're like I still have a shot here
you know when you caught up with her where she goes did he cry on your any of your dates and
she went yeah and he goes well we're gonna ask her he
comes out she goes okay great and she's just hoping that maybe he cried on another date and
he got confused then he'd be like i cried on some dates i'm not sure if i like some do sex
makina yeah yeah like he was she was gonna go you did remember that time is the thing oh maybe i did
and then she'd get out of it right maybe she was just like yeah to your point she's just like
don't just don't admit that you lied just just say that's that was my version you know just the the i'm gonna speak my
truth in my truth in my world you cried and that's how she was there was a world where she could have
just doubled down and just go you did on that date when the thing you cried that's right she could
have she could have just kept on saying she's like you're lying teddy and sarah have each it's kind of like a she said she said situation based on media that
they've done since they've left the show because teddy said that sarah was manipulative because
she would go into specifically teddy and rachel's rooms to talk about her connection with clayton
and then sarah released commentary that she was like well we were the closest friends in the house
of course we were talking about the guy we were dating why wouldn't i talk about my connection so it's very like
was it to be friendly or was it to be manipulative i honestly don't understand
like sarah lied that's that's obvious i don't totally get the
that argument of in that world it's a fine line so i can see a world where if if sarah's coming in
saying you know we have this such great connection and i guess that can be i get that how that can
be intimidating but i i don't see how that's manipulative that was the word that depends on
you know it could be it certainly could be manipulative, but could it be also
something you in that world, you don't want, you don't want to hear it. Some people choose to be
vocal about the relationship that they have going on with the lead. And some people don't like
if it feels unnecessary, but I, to me, it's like, it's a bit of a reach to prove that she was
manipulative. It's's just maybe they just
handled it differently i i don't i i see both sides but i don't know just because we like teddy
better and yes sarah lied so she doesn't have that going for her so now immediately we're like oh well
do we we know you as a liar we're more inclined to believe Teddy. But that argument that, oh, well, you looked confident
and therefore you were manipulating us, I don't quite follow.
I'll tell you who I want to give it up for, Mara.
Because I thought Mara was going to, like,
if she got something that girls tell all, women tell all, right,
I thought she would be very vocal and she was composed.
She didn't get into any arguments.
I thought she was going to go all Jersey on the fucking scene. And she was good. I thought she would be very vocal and she was composed. She didn't get into any arguments. I thought she was going to go all Jersey on the fucking scene.
Yeah.
And she was good.
I thought she did well.
I thought she did well.
She didn't seem to bitch too much.
She interjected a couple of times, but fairly.
I would love to know what was cut.
I want to see like an uncut.
I want all eight hours.
I know that Elizabeth tried to have her moment.
They do eight hours?
What?
They do eight hours.
Oh, it's like eight hours.
Well, because they hire
SAG actors to sit in the audience
and they're paid an eight-hour rate.
Because of COVID.
Okay.
Not normally.
Okay.
Since COVID.
I could have done
with the bloody work.
They didn't involve me.
I would have had
a Team Sinead poster.
There was someone
holding one of them
up, Team Sinead.
Yeah, that's the audience
right now is currently
sag actors but yeah that she mara did not take the bait you know and that's i think that's why
i'm critical of because i find it to be you know oh well if if if someone did this to you you're
no you would act out this was i want to secure my spot on paradise i mean at least genevieve was was uh genevieve did
experience the bullshit of chanel so genevieve has at least some gripe to go on but like hunter
and some of these other girls who were barely even there i don't you know that that was them trying to get their jill was popping up
a lot yeah i mean a lot of people i don't remember their names kira oh and it's they're all told the
same thing lindsey this is your chance to shine and they decided to say all those things so they
could get on paradise it was not about someup, pent-up rage from months earlier.
It was, let me get back on TV so I can get more followers.
That's true, because it was a while ago.
It was months ago.
Yeah, whatever.
All right, on to fantasy.
There's a lot going on here.
I have a lot of opinions on fantasy.
Okay.
That's why we brought you in, Jim.
I have a lot of opinions on fantasy. Okay. That's why we brought you in, Jim. Yeah, that's funny. I have a lot of opinions.
It's not, it was, I, overall, I think Clayton on Tellall, he was fine.
He took a beating, seemed to answer questions, and then.
Well, at the end of Tellall, there was a telling moment where,
what's the name of the girl?
Sierra said, how do you treat when we, we talk,
how are you treating the women this way? How basically said, how do you sleep at night to him?
Right. And then another girl said, she said, uh, I'm just checking. Are you okay? Yeah. Teddy,
Teddy said, are you okay? So now I'm like, the guy ends up with nobody.
And after watching this, I don't think the guy ends up with anybody now.
Because Teddy asked if he was okay?
Because Teddy asked if he was okay.
And then like, but I want to know, because what I saw,
how do you treat women this way was,
he didn't treat the women any differently than any other season of the show.
And women have treated men any different to any other season of the show. And the only difference is it's like telling every – he's got two that he says
I'm in love with and one that he says I'm falling in love with.
So he's coming third, right?
Well, I thought it was two I'm fallings in love and one I'm in love.
No, no, no, because one was I'm falling in love,
but then after he shagged her, when he leaves, she went, I love you.
And he went, I love you.
I love you too.
I love you too.
That was really strange.
They obviously said it in the thing.
He screamed for both Rachel and Gabby.
Yeah, and then for Gabby, he went, I'm falling in love.
And it feels so good.
That was terrible.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Viking Clayton, got to come out.
He loves to yell. He loves to. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Viking Clayton, got to come out. He loves the L.
He loves the L.
And his Hillary Clinton jacket.
I do Arden Mirren's podcast, and she calls it the Hillary Clinton jacket.
It's the same one that Hillary Clinton wore for the debate,
the blue long one.
It's spot on.
Clayton, we were tough on the casting of Clayton, obviously.
And then recently, at least I felt bad for the guy.
He was being crucified for just kind of being who he is,
but ultimately felt like he was just being nice and respectful,
but this fantasy suite I thought was a terrible episode for him.
He's somewhat in the right, but he should have handled it better
because it wasn't a good look.
It's terrible.
Well, I get where he's coming from but he should have handled it better because it wasn't a good look. It's terrible. Here, well, yeah, well.
I get where he's coming from because it's just like fucking it
because he gets in trouble with, what's Susie?
Is it Susie?
No, it's Susie.
Susie.
And he gets in trouble with her and then what he should have done is
when she was leaving and saying, I can't handle this,
he should have gone, well, you're breaking my my heart but if you have to leave you have to leave
here here's how i saw because i thought it was a really fascinating it's it's happened before
the are you like are you gabby more sex positive hey i want you to go out there
and if you need to do whatever you need to do, Gabby was making it very clear about like without saying,
hey, if you go fuck everyone, I'll still be here.
We're not here to judge that.
Susie has a more conservative approach and fine.
That's her.
They very clearly made Susie the third shag.
Yeah.
And I know that's not the term they use in the studio, right?
But they very clearly made her the third shag.
They knew.
Because if she was the first shag
no problem because then he would have gone off and done these other things and then she could
have stressed out in the house but they knew that her tension level was at a level where we have to
leave her waiting as long as possible and then she can knock 100 they they literally put her on a
spiral staircase they literally had the shot of the spiral staircase and then she's like i'm
spiraling it was like they knew exactly
what was coming. Of course, they produced the hell out of
a great episode. They set
it up. Jesse Palmer was
coincidentally like just there
with a coat on, ready to go. I was thinking about that.
I was like, did they wake him up at one in the morning?
I just thought that he had like a beeper on him
or a phone. A pager.
He's a doctor. He was literally
standing by. He sits in a hotel room nearby and then you go, we've got an emergency. They're having a fight.
Get me into the suit. Hair and makeup rushes over. Most of the time
if the host is not needed, he's out. He might not even
be there. He's not even there the whole time. Sometimes he has
other shows. When Chris Harrison was a host, he was out golfing, doing whatever the
fuck. So the fact that Jesse was there means they were like they knew you we're gonna need you tonight they they
knew and he was and it wasn't like you know sometimes you can't keep track of like time
right and you know we don't know how maybe three or four hours went by maybe it's the next day I
don't know you sometimes you can't but like not a lot of time went past because suzy had come out right so at most maybe 15 20 40 minutes but jesse was on standby and
i've quite liked jesse this season he seems like but wow what a useless moment all he did was yeah
no you were uh you told me you were afraid of that oh Oh, she's back. All right, see you later. He offered absolutely nothing for Clayton.
Here's a question.
They've been doing the flash forward since episode one,
the most unbelievable season of The Bachelor.
And there's a scene where the guy goes,
I have been intimate with all three of you.
I thought he said all three.
I think he said I love all three and I've been intimate with both of you oh okay i mean yeah the in the in the super tease is highly edited it's um here's my biggest
criticism with with clayton and the suzy conversation is again suzy that's her point of
view right and while suzy was she, mad, and angry, she was feeling
all these emotions, and she has a right to feel how she was, how she feels. Clayton, to your point,
I would, I can see why he's frustrated and upset and feels like, well, wait, what do you mean?
I thought, but when Susie was frustrated, she spent the whole time expressing frustration
while trying to empathize with Clayton. She was expressing her
frustration kind of outwardly, not at Clayton, just being like, I don't know. I don't know.
This is how I feel. And I wish I didn't feel this way. And I'm not even mad at you, but
I just don't know how I can get engaged to someone. You know, that's a normal, like,
yeah, you had sex with two other people days before i wish i could and maybe i might try to but i'm having a hard time yeah and clayton he got mad at suzy yeah he didn't empathize
with suzy at all he got mean he got he directed his anger at suzy and suzy directed her frustration
kind of just outward and to me that's the biggest difference. He was a dick. I understand his frustration because what did she think was going to happen?
Like you don't really – he's not going to not have sex with the two girls
and then just have sex.
I don't know if that's a problem.
That might have happened in previous seasons, but it's –
When you get to that level, like for example, I didn't, right?
You didn't have sex with anybody?
The last.
It was a shitty week.
I went into the fantasy suite with three women who throughout the season talked about fantasy suite,
can't wait to fantasy suite, and it sucked.
It was a terrible time because I had to navigate
and not have sex with two women
who were trying to have sex while getting through a
night hoping they would still think i might pick them impossible to do and for me i just decided
before i know who i'm gonna pick i don't want to get engaged and try to like, is, is, is beautiful. You know, there are two women are like, I'm just going to avoid this.
Yeah, it is.
But you avoid the mess.
And I, I had to navigate through it.
And I, I made that choice to not do it.
Was she on the first night, second night or third night?
Third night.
See, that's the whole thing.
What if you had sex with her and she was dreadful?
Because there's people, there's people I've been attracted to.
And then you've gone to bed with them.
I'm like, maybe they're good with other people people but me and them haven't gelled you know
what i mean sure what if you went oh my god this isn't for me totally and i understand that if you
have sex with the other two maybe the physical thing and you'll go oh wow we've got something
really going on here and you also you must know that holy hell they must really fuck the shit out
of you like they're like because it's an audition yeah
it's an audition no one's laying down for a ring they're fucking for a ring man they're going for
it uh yeah we're not we're not the shaming clayton at all for going for it's just two it's just two
different points of view of which i think there are people on both sides everyone when they get
into sexual honesty you have to train the other person up. That goes both ways.
You have to go, this is what I'm into.
I need you to do A, B, and C. And what can I do better?
And that's how you become sexually compatible.
And sometimes it just happens.
But even with great sex, you still got to go, I've got a little kink here.
I've got a little kink there.
And all that type of stuff.
Yeah.
Great sex with someone you have the first time can only get better.
Only get better.
Yeah.
And so we're just talking about two different points of view,
and Clayton, I think, looked horrible
because of how angry and mad he got at it.
My biggest issue was, though,
is he kept creating this hypothetical situation to Susie
and kept implying that there was only one person
that he'd had sex with.
So when I first watched it, I was thinking to myself, oh, they've edited it out of order.
She must be the second pick. And then finally at the end, he goes, so let's say that I've had sex with both. And I was like, he should have just been honest from the get-go. She asked him about
if he hooked up and he, yeah, he he do we call that lying?
That is lying.
Yeah.
He like implied it was just one
the whole time.
He gave a half truth.
What?
Yeah he didn't want to like
yeah he gave a half truth.
I think he didn't know
how much it was appropriate
to disclose at that time
which like
was him trying to cover his ass.
I would do this.
He was me.
A gentleman never kisses and tells.
I would have kept calling myself
a gentleman.
When Susie asked him he gave a, and you could tell he was mad.
And in my opinion, he was like, fuck you, producers.
Like he felt ambushed?
Yeah.
And also he was.
Think about it.
Susie was last.
She got gassed up the whole time.
All these questions about her point of view on sex and how she would feel,
like what if clayton
has sex does she spent that whole it's like so you have a day off in between right so she spent
four days being asked what are you going to do if clayton has sex with someone else how do you how
does it feel right and it's clayton's like i'm in love with you and suzy's like cool so did you
fuck anyone else you know he even said I'm the most in love with you.
Yeah, and let's not pretend
that on previous seasons, while I may
not have had sex with
multiple people, plenty of people have, and again,
it's totally fine. In fact,
I would argue most seasons, the lead
has sex with at least two people.
I think majority are two.
I did some thinking. I think it's mostly
two, right? And those conversations, like, people i think majority are two yeah i did some and i think it's mostly two right and those
conversations like and suzy's also not the first person and i think every season you have at least
contest one contestant who's like once you get to the end you know like you know you signed up for
all those things and you find yourself in the final three and then you're like holy shit like
i'm supposed to get engaged what like in a week and a half? And then you literally
go through a week when you're watching
people go on these fantasy suite dates and you
start wondering, could I get past this
if someone else sleeps with someone else?
And some people, like Susie,
are like, I don't think I can get past this. And those conversations
usually happen in the
fantasy suite. It's not a coincidence that
it happened on camera this time around.
Right? So Clayton's just like... So you're saying there's lots of fantasy suites where you just fight all night? fantasy suite it's not a coincidence that it happened on camera this time around right so
like clayton's just like so you're saying there's lots of fantasy suites where you just fight all
night oh you talk at least yeah yeah or they might be like the some girl or some guy maybe like
especially after the last you know you're last you might not yeah i'd watch jeopardy i'd just
turn the telly on and you and then there might be a lot of people who are like, hey, did you sleep with anyone else?
Yeah, I'm good then.
And yeah, I'm sure a lot of fantasy suites
ended up with best intentions to hook up
and maybe ended in a fight.
How should have he handled the situation
when she asked him that?
Because what I think he should have done
is just gone, look, I really like you.
For me on this journey,
I needed to explore the other people.
I'm confused.
I am in love with you.
But for me personally,
this is what I had to do.
And I'm sorry if that hurt you.
Some version of that.
That would have been the best way to do it.
And then just like,
and he should have just let her go gracefully.
And if he's truly in love with her,
he should have just gone,
you know, let her leave.
And then said to the other girls, I can't get engaged here.
I'm in love with Susie.
And then try in the outside world.
Yeah.
I mean, there's still.
Because I think any girl who saw that, if you went,
nah, I just told the other girls to go home,
might not get engaged here, but give you a shot.
That's a great point.
I mean, if Clayton tries now to pivot and go after,
and by go after I mean like pursue Rachel and Gabby,
they're going to watch it back and feel like a second option.
He said, I'm the most in love with you.
They're always good because that's pretty clearly saying
you're the one that we're going to, you're going to win.
You're the winner.
Yeah.
And usually the person who goes last in the fantasy suites
is at least in the lead at that point,
or the winner.
They're always kind of saved for last for the most part.
But I thought,
I thought going back to how Clayton could have handled it,
when,
when it first came,
when they were sitting down,
I was like watching,
and I thought Clayton was,
I thought it was okay.
It was both back and forth of them trying to find
the words, both being frustrated
and not coming at each other.
But like after he went outside
and talked to Jesse,
like something switched. Talked.
Yeah, talked. Hey, hey, bye.
He's like, hey, hey, bye.
Yeah.
That's some great advice.
I know you were afraid of this.
Oh, here she is. That's some great advice. I know you were afraid of this. Yeah.
Oh, here she is.
Here she is.
I'll let you go.
Yeah.
Oh, I want that job, man.
That's got to be the best job in TV.
It is, yeah.
Ladies, you have one more rose.
Say your goodbyes.
Fucking, what's going on?
Yeah, I think.
They proved in the People Tell All that, what's his name?
Jake, is it?
What's his name?
Jesse. Jesse.
Jesse.
Jesse was a bumbling idiot on his season.
Could hardly talk.
That was awesome.
Yeah, yeah.
And now he's all TV savvy.
What he should have done is when he came back, I just want to, like that.
If he wanted to get a real big laugh when they came back, cutting to the ad break, he
should have just done that.
Just gone.
Yeah.
Off the ads. He would have gotten done that. Just gone. Off the ads
he would have gotten a big laugh
but who am I to teach comedy?
So yeah, I don't know.
I wish Clayton flipped a switch
on that time.
He was just done.
I feel like then he was like
here's your car.
He was a dick.
Yeah, he could have been like He went from saying here's your car he's a dick yeah if he could have went
from saying let's spend these seven hours talking this through to saying okay great you don't want
to be here yeah i'm wondering what all of a sudden changed because if that's who if that's who clayton
is then he is an asshole because like you can be mad and you can handle your feelings as a dick or
you can hang your feelings you he could yeah he you can handle your feelings. He could have been like,
Susie, listen,
it seems like we're both not on the same page.
I feel a little ambushed, I guess,
but I understand.
You've never had arguments where in the moment,
you're like, fine, just leave.
And then the next day, you're like,
we should talk this out.
But normal people can come back.
She goes in that car,
you're never going to see her again.
Exactly.
And in that moment, he probably wanted her to get in that car.
And so you wonder how he's feeling now,
whether he's like, I'm sure he wishes he handled it better.
He's also on TV.
I'm not saying he's like the worst person ever,
but it was definitely kind of a,
I thought he was unnecessarily a dick,
and I get that he was mad, but he still chose to be a dick.
He didn't have enough empathy for her and what she was going through,
even if he believed he was in the right,
which I mostly think he is in the right because that's sort of what the show is.
Sure.
I mean, I think it's just, he has the right, for my opinion,
he has the right to feel how he does, and Susie has the right to feel how she does. And I think it's just, he has the right, from my opinion, he has the right to feel how he does. And Susie has the right to feel how she does.
And I think.
How did the girls never say anything to her?
Are they told not to say what happens in the fantasy suite?
Or do they think that hurts their chances of winning?
They just come in and smile.
Yeah, with like bedhead.
That was the thing.
I was like, Gabby fully redid her hair, and you're calling her out for having bedhead. Yeah. You like bedhead. That was the thing. I was like, Gabby fully redid her hair
and you're calling her out for having bedhead.
You have bedhead?
Yeah.
Clayton said like, why are you telling me this now?
When was Susie going to say something?
There has been girls that have said before the fantasy suites,
they've gone, if you sleep with anybody else,
it's not something I'm comfortable.
Who was that girl on Pilot Pete?
Maddie.
Yeah, but it was literally the same date.
It was literally the dinner date before the fantasy suite.
There's a reason why on every season things happen the same week.
Right around, if you're right before hometowns,
if you're about to get sent home,
you tell the bachelor you're falling in love and get sent home
because they realize that they don't feel the same way.
And then the person who's falling in love, who's about to get sent home in hometowns, coincidentally says he or she is falling in love.
And if there's someone who is openly not sure if they can continue dating someone who has sex with multiple people, it always comes up during the fantasy suite.
Things are saved. Do I want to talk about it yeah you know maybe save it and also like when is suzy going to talk about it like she's focused
everything happens so fast and is so intense so while she is introducing this guy to her family
and bringing the bachelor into her house and suzy's like i think has been a
fan of the show right suzy watches i've i've heard she watches this show so when also like when
clayton was like i'm in love with you she knew how impactful that she knew that that doesn't
usually happen you could tell that she was caught off guard but i'm just saying like she's bringing
the bachelor into her house she's not going to be be like, oh, by the way, let's talk about, there's just no time.
You have these, there's a reason why you have such little time.
And as soon as you start talking about other things, it's like time to go.
It's, oh, got to go.
You just don't have time to sit down and say, you know what, let's just, can I just talk?
You just don't have time.
And I feel like this is an issue that exists in the real world
of the whole debate between
if you have needs, you need to vocalize them
and tell me as your partner versus
the other person being like, I want you to
just think of this. I don't want you to just do
stuff because I'm asking. I want you to be thoughtful
and identify what's going on. That's such a
rich, real-world debate.
So you add in all the bachelor factors
and like, yeah, of course it's a shit show.
And Susie was acknowledging that it was a shit show
and Clayton was like assigning all of the
blame to Susie.
One of the problems is as well is
with Clayton, if that's how he
fights on camera, he might be
a very aggressive guy off camera.
That's what I'm saying. I'm not saying he is
because we don't know.
But like,
ah,
when you match someone's energy,
your energy,
good or bad,
doesn't look as bad.
Like for,
you know,
back to the cell,
there are going to be a lot of people who disagree with me because everyone's just like,
well,
Sinead did that.
So they did it. So they match each other's energy.
But with,
with Susie,
she again was feeling all these,
like she, like you tell she was mad and sad
and angry, but still, like, empathizing with Clayton. And the fact that Clayton couldn't
match the energy and decided to be a dick made it look extra worse. Because, like, Susie was
giving Clayton the playbook of how to respond to me, just, like, say the same thing. Hey,
I'm frustrated that you feel this way, but I feel this way. And I wish we could like say the same thing hey i'm frustrated that you feel this way but i feel
this way and i wish we could get on the same page and i wish you didn't feel this way i know you do
what are we going to do about it type of stuff and he was just like he's flipped a switch and
and yeah listen we've had these conversations when a when a giant man flips a switch it just presents is more scary uh and problematic uh than the other
way around and clayton was clearly at least at best unaware of how it's going to look and to
your point like we we all hope it's not like what what are you going to do when you're when you don't
have 16 cameras on you uh and you aren't like and i'm sure the producers weren't like hey well don't
be angry you know like and and i don't know he he definitely chose to to act that way he should
have just gone off to the fantasy suite by himself and had a wank he would have felt a lot better
yeah taking that key and lock the door before i'm out a lot more cheery before the fantasy suite uh before
the suzy fight i was like watching it and because like once you get to this point there's this
it happens every season there's there's a part of the audience that is like this is the bachelor
this is what we signed up for we all know there's a fantasy suite you know this is how it works and
then there's people who watch it who know the rules
but they start seeing it more through like their own personal experience of like dating in the
world today right and like oh that's i've had a guy do shit like that or uh that i recognize that
behavior right and so during fancy sweet week before how he, when he got angry at Susie, when Clayton,
there's like a reason why The Bachelor historically doesn't say, the way he was doing it, like,
I'm falling in love with you.
I love you.
It was just, it just came across as like, in real world terms, it came across like a
fuck boy.
If you're watching it, it just looked looked like and you have an experience of like watching
a guy going like he's on a dab right and you're like yeah i dated a guy like that he told every
girl he was in love with them and falling in love and the first girl if he didn't say he was in love
with her she wasn't fucking him yeah and it kind of comes across as he's like saying what he needs
to say and even though he's the bachelor, and technically being the bachelor,
some people would say,
hey, he's just like, this is how the show's set up.
And Clayton's kind of operating under this like,
well, I guess this is what I get to do.
But it definitely comes across as fuck boy behavior
because he's in this position of power.
He gets to go to everyone.
They're all pining for him.
And I believe that he believes it.
I believe that he thinks he's falling in love
with multiple people.
That's what I was going to say,
where I feel like he's a real people pleaser.
I think we saw that throughout the entire season
that he really tries to be present,
make people feel comfortable.
And I think this is when you saw
the repercussions for that.
So he fucks everyone.
If he wants to please people,
every single one of those people left now wants to be in love. In my 20s, I tried to please everyone.
The real people, they let a lot of people down, but I tried to please them.
Yeah. It's an impossible. That's the thing. Clayton, when I got to that point, I was thinking about how's this going to end?
I got to start making real world and real life decisions.
And Clayton was like, Clayton kind of took the Pilot Pete approach.
Hey, I'm in this world.
And as long as I'm in the bachelor world, I'm going to act like the bachelor.
And real world rules don't apply to me
i personally think that's a bit short-sighted but that's how he operated and uh it clearly
is backfiring on him are we slut shaming him no like if a female contestant did this would we feel as i have no problem with having sex with
multiple people it's the i love you and the sex right no i the even the i love yous i'm just
saying i don't think i don't even have a problem with it i just think that there is going to be a
large group of people watching this show that even before he got mad at Susie, they're just going to see a fuckboy
because it's just how it comes across.
Not that he is.
That's what I'm saying.
I feel like he's a fuckboy by negligence.
I feel like he's a fuckboy
and he hasn't been a fuckboy
previously in his life
and this is the first time
he's had the opportunity.
Yeah, there's a little bit of that too.
And it's intoxicating having,
I can sleep with three women.
They're all really into me. I'm into them as well.
There's also an element of pressure. The only one who has this
pressure of getting engaged is Clayton.
He's probably thinking
if I want this to work and I want to
get engaged and this is going to be the last person I'm ever with
and I have to decide who I'm going
to spend the rest of my life with in eight weeks, I'm ever with and I have to decide who I'm going to spend the rest of my life with
and in eight weeks I'm going to like use all the time I have to make sure I have the right decision
I mean I have no problem with him going about it that way so you didn't end up with the with the
girl you pick now right in hindsight you wish you fucked the other two girls no just ask it no there you have it because you
didn't end up with her anyway so i would have made the time uh with my then fiance that much more
miserable trying to get through that it you know because even though the way suzy talked everyone believes that they're the one
and when you go into that world and you start getting this validation you're thinking there's
no way they can feel this way and you want to get engaged and you're everyone thinking if they're
going to get engaged it's going to be they all go in thinking the same thing this is crazy this
will be fun i get to, maybe get some Instagram followers.
And then a couple people at the end
make a connection with the lead.
And they start thinking, holy shit,
I think I like this person.
And then one or two people are like,
oh my god, I'm in love.
And they think there's just no way
they could be feeling this about someone else.
So they're
not going to do this shit see i think more heinous than all the sleeping all that type of stuff is
the two balconies i love you i'm falling in love and it feels so great because both of those girls
believe yeah that they're winning 100 they believe that they're getting engaged because
they just had a night where that you know he just laid on a pillow next to him just going, I love you.
And they went, I love you.
I love you.
I fucking love you.
I love you.
And they just said it over and over to each other for eight hours, right?
In between shagging and eating strawberries, right?
And then like that, that what's good more than the sex.
That's what screws with your mind.
I completely, I completely agree.
Do you think think so again it's not a coincidence
that clayton was saying these things we all have been talking about like clayton has been
incredibly agreeable with people making the show seeing people have referred to him as a puppet
how much criticism do we give clayton like should clayton be mature and and aware enough that even someone's someone whom
whoever is saying this to him hey man if you if you're falling in love man just say it man like
you're the bachelor does is that give him permission to say it or should he know better that
he is messing with these people's hearts and these women that you say that if i say this
like his argument to suzy was kind of like the way he talked to suzy he basically was describing
him blacking out while having dates with rachel and gabby and then got back to his hotel room and
like came to and realized what have i done I'm gonna hurt somebody and I I
don't I don't buy it no I don't buy that at all I he's unless Clayton wants us to
think he's like a total idiot and he might not be like the sharpest tool in
the drawer I don't know his intelligence level but if that's true he has to be
kind of really dense.
But it was so funny when he was like, no one forced me to have sex.
He was like, I did it because I was in love.
He definitely has a very barbaric, aggressive side.
He likes to yell, loves to yell.
He's a big Viking guy.
He's a big guy.
Huge Viking guy.
But yeah, I just think even if the producers were like hey man if you're
feeling it say it i think it was reckless or stupid i don't know which one you want to go with
uh it was one of the two it's either completely reckless or idiotic to think that he could
validate uh all three women with both his words and his actions and not be criticized for being reckless
with people's feelings how do you think it ends i i don't think this is the last we're going to see
of suzy at all do you think we're going to see suzy talking to the other girls i don't know i
think i think i'm allowed there's they've asked me and other Bachelor alumni to participate in the After the Final Rose on Monday night
because apparently what we're about to see is so shocking.
Like the shockness of the season,
it wasn't last night apparently.
So this is just the first inning, the first quarter.
Threesome.
He's going to ask Rachel.
I don't know what the fuck he's about to do. It's like, what's going ask Rachel. I don't know what the fuck he's about to do.
It's like, what's going to happen?
I don't know what the fuck he's about to do,
but it's not going to be, is my understanding,
as simple as him going to Gabby and Rachel at the roast ceremony.
We've seen that before.
When one of the three people from Fantasy Suites goes home,
the lead walks out and says,
you know, so-and-so is no longer with us for whatever reason but i still see love in front of me and my wife is still here and
will you both accept these roses and then they it's not i don't think it's going to be that clean
at all uh i would i'd be shocked if it's the last we see of suzy because suzy seems like his favorite and and to your point jim
clayton reacted like a dick and you know most people even if you like yeah in the real world
you might get you might fight me like the next day you're like i'm sorry babe or whatever i'm
sorry honey or and you're still a dick but you have to apologize for that but a lot of people
like will calm down and realize that they've,
you know,
got angry.
So you think there's a pilot Pete Maddy situation where he just says the two
girls and then they,
they show footage of him flying out to see her or going to see her father.
I don't know if we're,
I think it's all going to happen.
She has,
I mean,
so when someone gets sent home,
they just go back to their hotel room.
So the final,
the final four basically don't go home
until the season's done airing
for purposes of avoiding spoilers.
Right.
And the final three, when they're all in Iceland,
all definitely stay in Iceland until it's done,
again, for spoiler purposes.
And then after they get engaged,
they all fly on the same plane together?
That must be awkward.
No.
No, they don't.
They actually all take different flights to wherever they go.
They're all on different flights to avoid, again, like spoilers and things like that.
And so whatever happens, Susie is going to be sitting in a hotel room.
So if either of them are like want another chance or want to talk after emotions calm down,
they will definitely be given that opportunity.
So I suspect there will be some version of that.
And what happens after that, I think, is going to be part of this mess.
And if you're Gabby and Rachel and you're watching this, you're just like...
Gabby's got no chance.
Yeah.
Oh, I don't see it at all.
Delightful person.
Not delightful.
Not Clayton's wife in any world.
I don't see the connection at all.
I like Gabby.
I think she's.
Oh, I think she's great.
Great girl.
She's got a lovely personality.
She'd be a TV host.
I think she's funny and, you know what I mean?
But I don't.
I don't see it between the two.
Don't see it between the two of them.
And it's like when she
had to sit down
she just goes
I just want you to know
that like I have feelings
and blah blah blah
and then he's like
it's so great
like that you don't
have to be goofy
all the time
stop calling the girl goofy
she's trying to have
a chat with you
you can be serious
and she probably
goes up to the
go to the bathroom
slips on a banana peel
and fucking
you know what I mean?
But she's only the I'm falling in love with.
So Rachel's going to win if someone's going to win.
Win.
But I think he goes home with nobody.
I think he goes back.
He tries to get Susie and she tells him to fuck off
and the other girls don't want to be second banana
and then that's the end.
It's just crazy because I thought Rachel was wifey
for the whole season.
I've just been watching it being like,
Rachel obviously wins.
And then the date that he took her on,
like with the volcano situation,
that was one of the coolest dates we've ever seen.
I feel like that's the kind of date that you take someone.
I think it was between like Susie and Rachel,
but I still thought Rachel was going to come out ahead, which is why I was so surprised. Susie getting the last date had, well, with her
having her point of view on sex, it was just as much of that than her being the front runner,
but she also could have been both. But historically the front runners gets the last date,
but it's hard to, it's hard to say. But yeah, ever since Rachel,
Susie's been playing catch-up, though,
and has caught up to Rachel the whole time.
But I don't see if your Rachel or, I mean, Gabby,
we don't think he's going to pick Gabby anyways,
but it would be a tough pill to swallow.
Especially after he said,
I love you the most to Susie in their fight.
Yeah.
I love you the most.
It's a weird thing to say.
I say that to my children.
I make them fight again.
I love you, but I love this one the most.
Colton kind of,
there is Colton vibes in this moment,
not because of sex,
but like Cassie just left
and to colton credit he was like this is my person and i'm gonna chase you down and you know kind of
kind of weirdly forced her to pick him but nevertheless he at least didn't try to pivot and convince himself or anyone else that he
was willing to take,
you know,
seconds.
He,
you know,
it was like the bachelor's not allowed to really express themselves until the
end.
But like Clayton was caught off guard.
You saw,
and that's the thing.
And that's why we are get critical of his anger because in that moment he was
off script.
Not that there's a script,
and I'm not saying the show's scripted,
but there's definitely beats
and he gets prepared for conversations
and topics that he thinks he's going to have.
And he was definitely caught off guard
by Susie's reaction and her questions.
And then Susie saying she wants to leave.
And we saw the real honest, like, fuck this.
This is who I was going to pick. And now she's leaving or doesn't want to get wants to leave. And we saw the real honest, like, fuck this. This is who I was going to pick.
And now she's leaving or doesn't want to get engaged to me.
And we saw that real reaction.
So the anger seemed to be very authentic.
And him saying, but I love you the most,
was not something he probably should have said.
But he was just panicking and expressing himself.
And we got a very honest uh sentence from from clayton which is that
suzy was the person he was planning on picking he can't end up with the other two girls because
the other two girls won't have any dignity if they if they stay after seeing him do that they
just can't even if you know like that girl i love I love you. And then he's like, I love you the most.
Oh, no, you can't.
He ends up with no one.
He ends up with no one.
As someone who's been the bachelor,
I still don't see how people can fall in love with three people,
let alone two.
And like matter of days, I just, I don't,
I don't get how he can say that to Gabby outside of a car,
as cringy as it was, but act like he's really like,
I really want to say this.
It's so dissonant.
I don't see it.
I don't know how people can.
I know other people disagree, but I don't.
I find it kind of...
I feel like he's caught up being The Bachelor and taking advantage of being The Bachelor.
And he's almost like...
He's convinced himself this is how he really feels because he's caught up in this world.
But I don't totally buy it.
I'm really disappointed in Colton.
If I ever see him on a balcony, though, I am going to go,
I'm falling in love.
And it feels so good.
It feels so good.
He's going to get that a lot, I think.
Who would we rather see be the Bachelorette, Gabby or Susie?
Susie.
Gabby.
It's two very different choices.
You have Gabby, the more of a, hey, listen.
Fun.
2022, fun, sex positive.
And then Susie, more of the traditional conservative family values.
I like both. I won't be disappointed with either.
And why is Rachel not in the running?
Because I think Gabby and Susie just have better storylines.
It's nothing against Rachel.
It has more to do with the other two.
Yeah, because I feel like she was always so framed within Clayton.
The fact that they had such a strong connection,
we didn't really get Rachel's personal narrative
as it existed without Clayton throughout the season.
Is that what you mean?
Yeah, I think Gabby has that kind of Caitlin Bristow comp.
Yes.
And Susie.
You know what's good about Gabby?
The family's good.
The family's good.
Or grandpa.
The grandpa alone.
You will the grandfather back out.
And he's like that.
And the daddy came.
And, you know, the signs
and that type of stuff.
They're going to be a good family
to put on telly.
I'll tell you what, though.
This was a big moment
for Susie, though.
This was like
Bachelorette
kind of catapult
moment.
Susie's dad's
going to kill Clayton.
Was he the one
that touched on the shoulder?
No, that was Rachel's dad.
Rachel's dad's
going to kill Clayton.
Yeah, kill Clayton.
Because he
seemed like he might
at least know some guys
in the mob.
Oh, 100%.
There should be like a dad's tell-all episode.
Yeah, because Rachel's mom was loving being on telly.
She was like, oh, and you're in love?
Oh, this is so exciting.
Oh, like that.
The dad's like, fucking TV.
And then he was like this, I'll touch you on the arm.
Yeah.
I really loved Rachel's dad.
I thought he was great.
All right, so Who would you rather have
As a best friend
Obviously Gabby
Honestly
You want Susie
And I like
I have so much respect
For Susie
I think Susie's fantastic
I won't be disappointed
With Susie
But I want Gabby
But it's just been
A little while
Since we've had someone
Like quirky boppy
Like alien weird
Yeah but Katie was
Allegedly quirky boppy
And that did not end well
She didn't play out that way.
Yeah.
But that's how she was sold to us.
I don't think she was that, yeah.
I think I'm more Susie because Susie comes across as this, like, quiet, demure person.
But every time she's put in a moment, she kind of, you know, you had the hometown's new jitsu you know karate whatever
jiu-jitsu and then like she whatever you whether you agree or disagree with her point of view on
sex she handled herself awesome stood up for herself she had some you know fight to her and
i think there's more to suzy and i think you you want a bachelorette that can kind of keep showing
you more layers and you know and
maybe you we can see that with Gabby too but I feel like with Gabby we kind of we're gonna have
a fun quirky thing you know and maybe there'll be more and I think she'll be great but I wonder if
there's Susie's be she's continued to show us more and she has to be curious about learning more
I feel like Susie's like the teacher and if Gabby were the bachelorette
it'd be like the sub.
You know like you don't know
what's going to happen.
Is she going to be able
to control the class?
Is she not?
Like we have no
like she's an absolute wild card.
I agree that Susie is like
confidently capable.
But I think Gabby
could be a great bachelorette too
because she'll be fun.
She'll get a
she'll be
she'll be willing to get
a little messy.
It'll
there'll be some drama.
I think it'll be fine either way.
I think it's been a wonderful season this season.
I've really enjoyed it.
It's been a big comeback year.
