Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ben Higgins and Ashley I Bring you Infamous. Sometimes roses
are red flags. We're here with part two of talking
with some of your favorite contestants, some of our favorite
contestants about the Bachelor Mansion. We had so much fun
in part one. If you haven't listened to it, go
back and listen to it. It's just fun to hear
some of the behind the scenes the stories that have
(00:20):
happened at the mansions. Some things that people hope never
change and some things they hope do change within those walls.
So make sure you go back and listen to part one.
But until you do, now we have Part two coming up.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
And this is a reminder that we're doing this episode
because HGTV has announced that they're doing a new competition
show with Patch Bachelor alums, and they're going to be
renovating the Bachelor Mansion.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Guy, obviously, the Bachelor Mansion is getting renovated. It just
was announced by HGTV. So we're talking a little bit
about the Bachelor Mansion today with a few guests who.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Have lived there.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Okay, Guy, we just got done talking to Rachel Rekia
and we were talking about how people work out at
the mansion. I'm assuming you did. You look like you
did at least, and so if you didn't get on you,
if you did work out the mansion, how did you
do it?
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Yeah, you know what they did was on the well,
let's see if you were in the back, the back
of the area pool area to the left, and then
kind of on the side. They they were kind enough
to to get like a couple of yoga mats, some dumbbells. Actually,
(01:39):
Pascal actually had them order dumb bells and had them
delivered to the mansion. So we had some dumb bells
to use. Uh, some stretch bands they had there and
uh at a bench, and so you know, that's that's
where we worked out, and and.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
You know, everybody was different.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
I would work out every morning, uh, depending on how
much time we had, depending on what was going on
that day. Sometimes I'd be over there for thirty minutes.
Sometimes I'd be over there for two hours. And then
the pool was almost a uh a little bath pool.
It was twenty two feet long, so it was just
(02:25):
a you know a few feet short of a pool
you would swim in, you know, in competition. And I
had brought my goggles and my hat and I would
then get in the pool and I'd swim anywhere from
thirty minutes to an hour and a half sometimes.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
And I just do laps back and forth. So that
was that was my routine.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
A lot of the other guys would come over to obviously,
you know there's you know, not everybody, you know, uh
did that, but a lot of them did. And they'd
come over and you know, lift you know, we talk.
And while we were working out in one.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I found that the water was always too cold for
me to go into.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
You know, I'm a water woss.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Also, okay, I'm the ultimate water woos never heard that before.
But if the temperature is below eighty two, I find
it hard to get into.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
And it was below eighty two degree, it was it
seemed to warm up a little bit, and I typically
didn't get in the pool early early.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
I would go in at eight o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
I usually wait till it, you know, warmed up a
little bit outside and then I just I just bit
the bully and I just dove in, even though I
hate it.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Guy or you know, we're talking about the mansion. As
you think about if you give us like a few
seconds explanation of what it's like to have the Goldens
living in the mansion at the same time, we know
what it's like from the Bachelor and Bachelor that world,
But what is it like to have because I'm gonna
(04:01):
give some stereotypes out there, some people that are pretty
stuck in their ways, some people who have probably lived alone.
In most of the guys on the show, it seems
like or girls have are pretty well off. So they've
built this very comfortable setting for them at home. They
have their nutrition, they have their food, they have their
comfy beds, they don't have to sleep next to a
(04:23):
guy who's snoring. So give us an explanation of what
life looks like behind the scenes.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Yeah, you know, to start with that, I think the
thing that struck me first was that that. And I
was in the middle bedroom. So there was five of
us in this bedroom with two bunk beds in a
single bed and I was lucky enough to get the
single bed because I was the oldest of the group.
That's how we decided how to do it. It was small,
(04:51):
and then the bathroom was itty bitty. I mean there
was not you know, you couldn't put two people in there.
Only wait, two people was won in a shower and
wanted to sink and that was it. So so it
was very very tight quarters, you know with that, So
that was different. And then you've heard the stories about
(05:11):
the snoring and stuff, and that was everybody dealt with
that a different way. I had my airplugs right from
the beginning, so I was I was prepared for that
so far as uh, you know what I was really
surprised about was I thought, I thought, oh, they're going
to treat us like you know, like you know, kings,
and uh, we're gonna every morning, we're going to get
(05:33):
up and somebody will have made us break you know,
some kind of breakfast, you know, meal, and then the
same thing for lunch, and the same thing for dinner.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Little and I know we're gonna have to do all
this ourselves.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
And so some of us, like myself, doesn't do a
lot of cooking unless you unless you consider opening a
can up cooking.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
So it was it was a little bit.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Yea, it was different for me, but you know, everybody,
everybody jumped in because we had several of the guys
who were very very very good cooks, and then uh,
some of the handlers would would cook in the in
the morning and stuff like.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
That, and you know, I couldn't.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
I really couldn't help that way at the level that
they were cooking. But I know how, I know, wash
and dry dishes.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Oh that's nice, that's very that's very great way to contribute.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Yeah, and it allowed me time while the other guys
were doing things to to you know, to be involved
and communicate, not.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
Just sit by the pool the whole time.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Yeah, Oh good Now, guy, it's a competition show that
they're about to do on AHGTV. What do you think
the competitors can add to the mansion to help them win?
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Gosh, that would be uh. I mean, it depends on
how they how much renovation you know, they want to do,
if they're going to knock down walls or whether they're
just going to just try to fit it up. I
I clearly think there should be you know, I think
if they didn't have to use all the bedrooms downstairs,
I think it would have been really comfortable because we
(07:12):
would have had like two maybe three people in a
room instead of like one room had nine, we had five,
another had four, But multiple bedrooms downstairs had to.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Be lives for the video.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
The audio interview rooms things like that. So and there
must have been at least four of those downstairs, so,
you know.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
More bedrooms.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Probably if they could, you know, they could make them
all single beds that were you know, that were not
bunk beds, because there was a few of the guys
had a little trouble getting up to the top bunk beds.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Sometimes.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
I loved my bunk bed.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
My bunk bed was where I got Pacy in a
private moment and I could journal or I could just hide.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
That's interesting, Yeah, because I was I was a huge
journal I journaled over a book and a half while
I was there, and I still have it and I
go back and actually I only looked at it one
time briefly. But it's something I wanted to do. It's
part of my therapy.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Actually, yeah, I still have mine as well. Hey guy,
thanks for jumping on today. We're talking about the Bachelor
Mansion with some of past favorites, so we appreciate you
coming on.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Absolutely everyone, welcome, Dot and Charity to the show. Can
I just say that your recent posts on Instagram so cute,
so sexy. You guys are such a hot period.
Speaker 7 (08:52):
Thank you are anniversary less.
Speaker 6 (08:55):
Yeah, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Wow, they're young and hot.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Off the gate warm up?
Speaker 8 (09:06):
Okay, all right. I thought it's a little bit like
here's what I get a top?
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Now?
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Just right?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Yeah, you guys are hot and sexy. That's how we
start the show. Hey, we're here today just for a
few minutes to talk to you guys about the Bachelor Mansion.
Because if you don't know, HGTV has announced that they're
renovating the Bachelor Mansion and they're using past contestants to
do the renovation. So the first is, have you two
gotten a phone call to be a part of this show?
Speaker 7 (09:35):
Not yet, but listen, you've got the digits, That's what
I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
I'm like, I would really this sounds like a lot of.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
I love that.
Speaker 8 (09:45):
I love the concept of this.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
It's crazy. What's the purpose?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Like once I think just clean it up.
Speaker 9 (09:51):
Yeah, it's random, like a bunch of different Bachelor ideas,
build a house, and then what I thought it was.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
No, it's the actual mansion. It's like they're literally going
to work inside the mansion. They get to come up
with all these design ideas and then there's a cash prize.
It's it's a crazy idea. I like the idea of
the show. I'll watch the show because the mansion is
like one of the most favorable moments from the whole experience.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
For me, it's like a home. It's truly a second home.
It actually for you, Charity, you know, you lived in
it twice. Yeah, So off the top of your head,
what do you see that they should renovate?
Speaker 9 (10:29):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (10:30):
Do they tackle first? I mean, I this.
Speaker 7 (10:34):
Is like pretty basic, but I hate like the wallpaper
and everything. And I don't know if it changes because
of like production or if it's like that, like you know,
when we're not filming there. But I think the color scheme,
like everything needs to like start over. It's horrible in
my opinion, doesn't.
Speaker 6 (10:50):
Like she doesn't like the Mediterranean.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
So the color scheme is interesting because I think one
secret that a lot of people out there don't know
is every season they come in repaint and redecorate. So
every season there they and then they'll paint it back
to what the homeowners want afterwards. So you got to think,
after how many seasons that have been filmed in that show,
(11:12):
how thick the walls have to be with that sounds
like it's yeah, yeah, the square footage of the house
has shrunk because the walls are like this.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Volume.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Yeah, a lot less. Now I have a huge question
because we've talked to Rachel Recky, we talked to Guy
here recently. They both brought up the bunk beds. Don
you're not a short man. I need to know what
they did for you, because you have to be probably
the tallest contestant to ever be on the show. I
don't I can't think of anybody taller. I really don't
(11:50):
understand how you slept in that house.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Neither your feet hung off like I feel like your
ankles hung off.
Speaker 9 (11:56):
Correct. That's why it's still an ongoing lawsuit going a
lot of suit because of what they put me through.
It's crazy that was It's not a secret, so like
that's not when I wanted to share. But it's what
stick outs sticks out to me the most, and my
experience there is first of all, how small they are,
They're tiny bunk beds that I slept in when I
was like six, And how uncorable they are. They have
(12:19):
like plastic things on top. They go it's the easiest thing,
and you know they can do better, but for some reason,
that's what they choose, and put four or ten guys
in a room together. Not fun, especially when you have
you know, brain snoring and Josh or sound machine going.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
And it's just lost. L's on all eggs as well.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
And you're right, they did have I forgot they had
those plastic coverings and so if anybody rolled over in
the room you were in, you could hear them roll over.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Today, anyone fell out of bed while either of you
were filming.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
I think I don't know, not for not in my room.
Speaker 7 (12:52):
I was lucky to be in the room with like
where it was smaller, but there was like less girls,
so it was only like four of us.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
We left the mansion.
Speaker 7 (13:01):
All my roommates had Artie said goodbye, So I had you.
Speaker 6 (13:04):
Had a room to yourself.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Very nice.
Speaker 7 (13:09):
Yeah that's nice though, Yeah, I don't think so for me.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
But I think I'm trying to remember. I know someone did,
and I'm trying to remember someone did.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
I'm trying to remember the story too. I don't know
what season it was, but it was a thing. Yes,
the guys were cracking up.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
It was a guy season.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Of course. That's hilarious. That's all you can hope for.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Truly, in the middle of the night, a gigantic thought
like down the very high bunk beds.
Speaker 9 (13:34):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, No, I need I need to text
the guys and see who that happened to, because I'm
pretty sure that happened is one on our season.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
I'm just not room or not.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
But now I think this is for anybody out there.
I remember in my experience, I had to bed the
bedroom up against the wall right across from the small bathroom.
There was a lot of us in there. At one point,
I think there was three different bunk beds. So eight
people are people in a small little room. And I
remember one of my I'm an only child at that
(14:07):
point in my life, I was living alone. What'd you say,
of course.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
This kid actually Ben doesn't meet any of the only
child Yeah that no, I know.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Break on the earth.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Yeah all right, But the I remember the guys would
come in like late, right, so I'm early to bed guy,
and they would want to do like pillow talk, and
they'd be talking about like the randomest stuff. Sometimes Caitlin
sometimes like some due to be crying because he's sad
and he's emotional or whatever, and it would go on
for way too long and there's no cameras up there,
(14:42):
so it was a pretty safe place to like talk,
but it would keep me up way later than I
wanted to be. Do you guys remember pillow talk happening
as like twenty seven eight year old people see, like.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
I don't you do the guys, Yeah, of course.
Speaker 6 (14:58):
Yes to some degree.
Speaker 7 (14:59):
But I'm like, I I feel like they never let
us like sleep, and so by the time we actually
were like going to bed, it was like okay, like
literally like lights out, like everyone shut up, like seriously, Yeah,
we did have like not in our rooms like everything,
like all of our convers I mean literally I probably
had maybe one conversation that was in my room and
there was like no cameras. But then they like came
(15:20):
and found me like thirty seconds later, and I was like, okay,
so like that did not exist for me at all.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Yeah, I don't really remember that existing either, but this
did jog a memory of them one time waking us
up at like five thirty. It was still dark and
all of us just having to do our makeup at
that time, where.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
Like this is a huge joke. We went to bed
at one thirty.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
That's the worst.
Speaker 7 (15:43):
And then the natural sunlight God heap two bad bag.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Eyes to cover your makeup.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yeah, the baggy eyes doing makeup on baggy, tired, puffy
faces the worst.
Speaker 6 (15:54):
You wouldn't know, guys, but the w I might know.
You might know.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
I think you know what I've never I don't think
I've ever said this. You know something I brought to
the Bachelor mansion. This is this is so embarrassing. I
brought because one of my girlfriends came and helped me
pack and she was.
Speaker 6 (16:13):
Like gal pals, Okay, I was like x.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
The same gal pals friend z owner a mascara brush
just to comb out my eyelashes because I wanted my
eyelashes to look good on.
Speaker 6 (16:31):
So you were doing that every morning when you were.
Speaker 8 (16:35):
Yeah, I remember that.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Now I actually feel like you did have eyelashes that
stood out.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
See, very pretty curly eyelashes.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
It's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I just thought about this.
Speaker 7 (16:47):
That's probably Sawn and Braiden bringing there.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Like remember that other dice.
Speaker 7 (16:52):
Like I'm joking, but I feel like Sean had like
a blow dryer.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
His hair, Like, oh, I can imagine that.
Speaker 9 (17:00):
Sean actually didn't have a blow dry That was actually
a big part of big issue in the house he
was so embarrassed before every day because he was like,
he's so self conscious about his hair, and it's so hilarious.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
That was actually opposite what happened.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
Amongst all you guys didn't have one hair dryer.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Yes it was I'm telling you.
Speaker 9 (17:21):
There were things that were happening that I couldn't believe.
I didn't need one, thankfully, but a few of the
guys did not a single hair drive. They had to
get one on like day three, so one had to
go buy one. How the hell did you not a
single one in there?
Speaker 8 (17:34):
It's crazy.
Speaker 6 (17:35):
That is crazy, And I.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Think Sean had to buy it.
Speaker 6 (17:40):
With his own money.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
They were like, yeah, we have like a fifty dollars
cap on this.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
You put blow the grocery literally for real, it was.
Speaker 8 (17:49):
It literally was on the grocery.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
But I'm even thinking back, I feel like when I
was on the Bachelore appe, it was March. Is that
March madness that's going on at that point? Yeah, And
we did a we did brackets, but we can't watch
(18:14):
the games. There's no TVs. And so at the end
of the day they would give us a score update
of who won and who lost, and we could fill
out a bracket based on that. It's such a fun
time now as we close with you guys, as you
think about your favorite memories at the Bachelor Mansion, like
the one thing when you think about that place and
(18:34):
who knows how much it's going to be renovated. We
don't know if the whole thing's going to change, if
it's going to be modernized, if they're just gonna paint
up some stuff or whatever. But let's say the mansion
changes forever. It never looks the same as when we
were there. What's your favorite memory at the mansion?
Speaker 7 (18:50):
I think for me would have to be like, obviously
there's so many like girl chats, but like my chats,
I feel like I had the most meaningful ones by
the pool or like outside, and I feel like the
pool is obviously like one of the highlights of the house,
and so I would be like kind of devastated if
they like completely, I mean, they can't take away the pool,
but like just making it look different.
Speaker 6 (19:09):
I feel like it's such.
Speaker 7 (19:10):
A memorable part of the house, like when you walk
in and obviously, like you know, night one, you're like outside,
you're going to the bar, You're seeing who else is arriving.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
It's just like so ingrained in your memory.
Speaker 7 (19:21):
So like that's like for me, I feel like one
of the best parts.
Speaker 9 (19:25):
Yeah answer, yeah, So they had the question is what's
going to be here? Nonetheless the question is favorite memory
or what we don't want to renovated?
Speaker 6 (19:35):
Well, I guess favorite, Wow, all the time together. Sorry
I didn't give a memory.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
I just said, but I don't memory.
Speaker 9 (19:45):
Yeah, I mean one of my favorite memories. Not to
steal yours, but was I was really quiet for like
the first week because I was hating my life and
I thought I made the worst decision of my life.
And then there's this time all the guys with the
pool super late, and then I decided to hop in
and that was the first time I really expressed myself.
And that's because those guys in there were all expressed themselves.
(20:06):
Was like Kayla, Barron Tanner and maybe one other person
that was in there, but they just.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Allowed me to open up.
Speaker 9 (20:13):
And that was sort of really like the first step
to maybe, okay, maybe this is okay right, Maybe I didn't,
you know, sacrifice everything for nothing. So yeah, pretty cool,
I would say. Also, obviously he's getting a chat with
her at the barbecue. That was the actual catalyst that
really changed and I was like, okay, like yeah, I
can stick around.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
I think there's something worth fighting for here. So that
was really beautiful.
Speaker 9 (20:37):
And then maybe something inside the house is the hot
waters and the conditioner did not work while we were there.
We actually had to go to the hotel. People have
no idea how old that that house is, and like,
I'm spectacular it is. It's like legendary, but there's really
I don't think it's that old.
Speaker 6 (20:58):
I think it's probably in its twenty.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
I have the same don't You're not alone. I told
actually the same thing when we started. I was like,
you you understand how old this house is, like how
beat up it is?
Speaker 9 (21:08):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Yes, And Ashley's like, no, it's perfect.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
This wasn't the Bachelor mansion that they used like the
first decade of the show though, And I don't think
that they built it until like two thousand.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
We will have to check on the building. Curious to
know that.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
But think about how much use the house has had
because the family had four kids and they grew up
in the house from when they were very little.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
And then don't have to protect the mansion people like
the mansion.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
I love the mansion.
Speaker 9 (21:37):
Okay you under yeahby late night.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
You wait, okay, go back to Don's saying you had
to go to a hotel to shower.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
We all did for a couple of days. Yeah, it
was hellish.
Speaker 9 (21:54):
We'd all have to go, but you'd have take turns,
you know, take turns in little what do you call
a little like bunches, and then go to the hotel
that we stayed in before to go shower, and then.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
You have to luxury.
Speaker 6 (22:07):
Yeah, the mansion reminds me of my parents' house.
Speaker 8 (22:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (22:13):
Do you understand that, Ben, I do.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
You're not talking about you.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Yeah, I know, but that's why I probably feel so
connected to the style.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Actually, your parents' house is beautiful. We don't want to
change it's.
Speaker 6 (22:26):
Not okay, it's yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
I just need to add what I cannot have changed.
It's the front because when you pull up in the
limo and you see the iconic front with the fountain
and the door.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
No, no, no, that actually probably is the best part.
Speaker 9 (22:44):
You know, it's the most memorable whole see on TV,
the part that we remember because that's our first interaction, not.
Speaker 7 (22:50):
Me saying the pool, I should have set the front door.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Yeah, hey, thanks for jumping on you talking about the mansion,
your memories. Uh, we appreciate your time. I will still
go down and say, like, one of the most shocking
parts of this whole experience is thinking about you sleeping
in a bunk bed twin mattress that isn't really a
full twin. It still shocks me and it's not right.
(23:12):
So good luck in the lawsuit, and we appreciate you
coming on.
Speaker 6 (23:18):
Bye.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Ye it was you know how in college you have
the long twin beds. They're different style twin beds than
not you have the little kid twin bed There's they're long.
Speaker 6 (23:30):
Do you remember in college?
Speaker 8 (23:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:31):
These were not long, No exactly, they were sure. I
actually have a memory that came off of what Charity
was saying. I remember falling asleep so deeply out by
the pool one day in one of those like really
beautiful like pieces of lawn furniture they had, and sleeping
hard because I was tired and waking up and looking
around and like having this like I don't know where
(23:52):
I'm at moment, and then realizing I was on like
at the mansion, and I'm being like.
Speaker 6 (23:56):
Whoa like, what's hilarious?
Speaker 1 (23:59):
You know what I'm talking When you wake up and
you're like, I don't know how I got here, and
then you're like it takes you a second. You're like,
I'm there's a nap thing.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Yeah, that doesn't that doesn't happen in the mornings. That
happens during naps.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Yes, it happened to me, I remember, and then kind
of like smiling and being like, oh, that's pretty cool,
pretty cool. I just think a nap of the Bachelor.
Speaker 6 (24:17):
Mansion, that's awesome.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
This has been the second part of our conversation on
the renovation that HGTV has announced that they're going to
be doing to the Bachelor Mansion. We've brought back some
past contestants to talk about their stories, experiences, what they
love and don't love about the mansion. This has been
a ton of fun reminiscing. I would say this, and
(24:41):
I think Ashley has proven it actually, out of all
the things that happened from your time on the Bachelor,
I would say, this mansion holds maybe the most special
place in your heart.
Speaker 6 (24:53):
Wait, more than Paradise.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
You think I'm talking Bachelor like mansion, Like that whole experience.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
I think because I was a super fan of the
show that arriving to the mansion and being in a
spot that I saw on TV for so many years
was the coolest thing. That was one of the very
main characters.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
To me, I agree. I'm fully with you, so I
hope you had fun listening as well. Until next time,
I've been Ben, I've been Ashley.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
See you guys.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Follow the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast on
iHeartRadio or subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts.
Ben Higgins and Ashley I Bring you Infamous. Sometimes roses
are red flags. We're here with part two of talking
with some of your favorite contestants, some of our favorite
contestants about the Bachelor Mansion. We had so much fun
in part one. If you haven't listened to it, go
back and listen to it. It's just fun to hear
some of the behind the scenes the stories that have
(00:20):
happened at the mansions. Some things that people hope never
change and some things they hope do change within those walls.
So make sure you go back and listen to part one.
But until you do, now we have Part two coming up.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
And this is a reminder that we're doing this episode
because HGTV has announced that they're doing a new competition
show with Patch Bachelor alums, and they're going to be
renovating the Bachelor Mansion.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Guy, obviously, the Bachelor Mansion is getting renovated. It just
was announced by HGTV. So we're talking a little bit
about the Bachelor Mansion today with a few guests who.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Have lived there.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Okay, Guy, we just got done talking to Rachel Rekia
and we were talking about how people work out at
the mansion. I'm assuming you did. You look like you
did at least, and so if you didn't get on you,
if you did work out the mansion, how did you
do it?
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Yeah, you know what they did was on the well,
let's see if you were in the back, the back
of the area pool area to the left, and then
kind of on the side. They they were kind enough
to to get like a couple of yoga mats, some dumbbells. Actually,
(01:39):
Pascal actually had them order dumb bells and had them
delivered to the mansion. So we had some dumb bells
to use. Uh, some stretch bands they had there and
uh at a bench, and so you know, that's that's
where we worked out, and and.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
You know, everybody was different.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
I would work out every morning, uh, depending on how
much time we had, depending on what was going on
that day. Sometimes I'd be over there for thirty minutes.
Sometimes I'd be over there for two hours. And then
the pool was almost a uh a little bath pool.
It was twenty two feet long, so it was just
(02:25):
a you know a few feet short of a pool
you would swim in, you know, in competition. And I
had brought my goggles and my hat and I would
then get in the pool and I'd swim anywhere from
thirty minutes to an hour and a half sometimes.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
And I just do laps back and forth. So that
was that was my routine.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
A lot of the other guys would come over to obviously,
you know there's you know, not everybody, you know, uh
did that, but a lot of them did. And they'd
come over and you know, lift you know, we talk.
And while we were working out in one.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I found that the water was always too cold for
me to go into.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
You know, I'm a water woss.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Also, okay, I'm the ultimate water woos never heard that before.
But if the temperature is below eighty two, I find
it hard to get into.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
And it was below eighty two degree, it was it
seemed to warm up a little bit, and I typically
didn't get in the pool early early.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
I would go in at eight o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
I usually wait till it, you know, warmed up a
little bit outside and then I just I just bit
the bully and I just dove in, even though I
hate it.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Guy or you know, we're talking about the mansion. As
you think about if you give us like a few
seconds explanation of what it's like to have the Goldens
living in the mansion at the same time, we know
what it's like from the Bachelor and Bachelor that world,
But what is it like to have because I'm gonna
(04:01):
give some stereotypes out there, some people that are pretty
stuck in their ways, some people who have probably lived alone.
In most of the guys on the show, it seems
like or girls have are pretty well off. So they've
built this very comfortable setting for them at home. They
have their nutrition, they have their food, they have their
comfy beds, they don't have to sleep next to a
(04:23):
guy who's snoring. So give us an explanation of what
life looks like behind the scenes.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Yeah, you know, to start with that, I think the
thing that struck me first was that that. And I
was in the middle bedroom. So there was five of
us in this bedroom with two bunk beds in a
single bed and I was lucky enough to get the
single bed because I was the oldest of the group.
That's how we decided how to do it. It was small,
(04:51):
and then the bathroom was itty bitty. I mean there
was not you know, you couldn't put two people in there.
Only wait, two people was won in a shower and
wanted to sink and that was it. So so it
was very very tight quarters, you know with that, So
that was different. And then you've heard the stories about
(05:11):
the snoring and stuff, and that was everybody dealt with
that a different way. I had my airplugs right from
the beginning, so I was I was prepared for that
so far as uh, you know what I was really
surprised about was I thought, I thought, oh, they're going
to treat us like you know, like you know, kings,
and uh, we're gonna every morning, we're going to get
(05:33):
up and somebody will have made us break you know,
some kind of breakfast, you know, meal, and then the
same thing for lunch, and the same thing for dinner.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Little and I know we're gonna have to do all
this ourselves.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
And so some of us, like myself, doesn't do a
lot of cooking unless you unless you consider opening a
can up cooking.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
So it was it was a little bit.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Yea, it was different for me, but you know, everybody,
everybody jumped in because we had several of the guys
who were very very very good cooks, and then uh,
some of the handlers would would cook in the in
the morning and stuff like.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
That, and you know, I couldn't.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
I really couldn't help that way at the level that
they were cooking. But I know how, I know, wash
and dry dishes.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Oh that's nice, that's very that's very great way to contribute.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Yeah, and it allowed me time while the other guys
were doing things to to you know, to be involved
and communicate, not.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
Just sit by the pool the whole time.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Yeah, Oh good Now, guy, it's a competition show that
they're about to do on AHGTV. What do you think
the competitors can add to the mansion to help them win?
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Gosh, that would be uh. I mean, it depends on
how they how much renovation you know, they want to do,
if they're going to knock down walls or whether they're
just going to just try to fit it up. I
I clearly think there should be you know, I think
if they didn't have to use all the bedrooms downstairs,
I think it would have been really comfortable because we
(07:12):
would have had like two maybe three people in a
room instead of like one room had nine, we had five,
another had four, But multiple bedrooms downstairs had to.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Be lives for the video.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
The audio interview rooms things like that. So and there
must have been at least four of those downstairs, so,
you know.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
More bedrooms.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Probably if they could, you know, they could make them
all single beds that were you know, that were not
bunk beds, because there was a few of the guys
had a little trouble getting up to the top bunk beds.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Sometimes.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
I loved my bunk bed.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
My bunk bed was where I got Pacy in a
private moment and I could journal or I could just hide.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
That's interesting, Yeah, because I was I was a huge
journal I journaled over a book and a half while
I was there, and I still have it and I
go back and actually I only looked at it one
time briefly. But it's something I wanted to do. It's
part of my therapy.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Actually, yeah, I still have mine as well. Hey guy,
thanks for jumping on today. We're talking about the Bachelor
Mansion with some of past favorites, so we appreciate you
coming on.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Absolutely everyone, welcome, Dot and Charity to the show. Can
I just say that your recent posts on Instagram so cute,
so sexy. You guys are such a hot period.
Speaker 7 (08:52):
Thank you are anniversary less.
Speaker 6 (08:55):
Yeah, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Wow, they're young and hot.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Off the gate warm up?
Speaker 8 (09:06):
Okay, all right. I thought it's a little bit like
here's what I get a top?
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Now?
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Just right?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Yeah, you guys are hot and sexy. That's how we
start the show. Hey, we're here today just for a
few minutes to talk to you guys about the Bachelor Mansion.
Because if you don't know, HGTV has announced that they're
renovating the Bachelor Mansion and they're using past contestants to
do the renovation. So the first is, have you two
gotten a phone call to be a part of this show?
Speaker 7 (09:35):
Not yet, but listen, you've got the digits, That's what
I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
I'm like, I would really this sounds like a lot of.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
I love that.
Speaker 8 (09:45):
I love the concept of this.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
It's crazy. What's the purpose?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Like once I think just clean it up.
Speaker 9 (09:51):
Yeah, it's random, like a bunch of different Bachelor ideas,
build a house, and then what I thought it was.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
No, it's the actual mansion. It's like they're literally going
to work inside the mansion. They get to come up
with all these design ideas and then there's a cash prize.
It's it's a crazy idea. I like the idea of
the show. I'll watch the show because the mansion is
like one of the most favorable moments from the whole experience.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
For me, it's like a home. It's truly a second home.
It actually for you, Charity, you know, you lived in
it twice. Yeah, So off the top of your head,
what do you see that they should renovate?
Speaker 9 (10:29):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (10:30):
Do they tackle first? I mean, I this.
Speaker 7 (10:34):
Is like pretty basic, but I hate like the wallpaper
and everything. And I don't know if it changes because
of like production or if it's like that, like you know,
when we're not filming there. But I think the color scheme,
like everything needs to like start over. It's horrible in
my opinion, doesn't.
Speaker 6 (10:50):
Like she doesn't like the Mediterranean.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
So the color scheme is interesting because I think one
secret that a lot of people out there don't know
is every season they come in repaint and redecorate. So
every season there they and then they'll paint it back
to what the homeowners want afterwards. So you got to think,
after how many seasons that have been filmed in that show,
(11:12):
how thick the walls have to be with that sounds
like it's yeah, yeah, the square footage of the house
has shrunk because the walls are like this.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Volume.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Yeah, a lot less. Now I have a huge question
because we've talked to Rachel Recky, we talked to Guy
here recently. They both brought up the bunk beds. Don
you're not a short man. I need to know what
they did for you, because you have to be probably
the tallest contestant to ever be on the show. I
don't I can't think of anybody taller. I really don't
(11:50):
understand how you slept in that house.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Neither your feet hung off like I feel like your
ankles hung off.
Speaker 9 (11:56):
Correct. That's why it's still an ongoing lawsuit going a
lot of suit because of what they put me through.
It's crazy that was It's not a secret, so like
that's not when I wanted to share. But it's what
stick outs sticks out to me the most, and my
experience there is first of all, how small they are,
They're tiny bunk beds that I slept in when I
was like six, And how uncorable they are. They have
(12:19):
like plastic things on top. They go it's the easiest thing,
and you know they can do better, but for some reason,
that's what they choose, and put four or ten guys
in a room together. Not fun, especially when you have
you know, brain snoring and Josh or sound machine going.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
And it's just lost. L's on all eggs as well.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
And you're right, they did have I forgot they had
those plastic coverings and so if anybody rolled over in
the room you were in, you could hear them roll over.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Today, anyone fell out of bed while either of you
were filming.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
I think I don't know, not for not in my room.
Speaker 7 (12:52):
I was lucky to be in the room with like
where it was smaller, but there was like less girls,
so it was only like four of us.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
We left the mansion.
Speaker 7 (13:01):
All my roommates had Artie said goodbye, So I had you.
Speaker 6 (13:04):
Had a room to yourself.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Very nice.
Speaker 7 (13:09):
Yeah that's nice though, Yeah, I don't think so for me.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
But I think I'm trying to remember. I know someone did,
and I'm trying to remember someone did.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
I'm trying to remember the story too. I don't know
what season it was, but it was a thing. Yes,
the guys were cracking up.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
It was a guy season.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Of course. That's hilarious. That's all you can hope for.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Truly, in the middle of the night, a gigantic thought
like down the very high bunk beds.
Speaker 9 (13:34):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, No, I need I need to text
the guys and see who that happened to, because I'm
pretty sure that happened is one on our season.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
I'm just not room or not.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
But now I think this is for anybody out there.
I remember in my experience, I had to bed the
bedroom up against the wall right across from the small bathroom.
There was a lot of us in there. At one point,
I think there was three different bunk beds. So eight
people are people in a small little room. And I
remember one of my I'm an only child at that
(14:07):
point in my life, I was living alone. What'd you say,
of course.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
This kid actually Ben doesn't meet any of the only
child Yeah that no, I know.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Break on the earth.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Yeah all right, But the I remember the guys would
come in like late, right, so I'm early to bed guy,
and they would want to do like pillow talk, and
they'd be talking about like the randomest stuff. Sometimes Caitlin
sometimes like some due to be crying because he's sad
and he's emotional or whatever, and it would go on
for way too long and there's no cameras up there,
(14:42):
so it was a pretty safe place to like talk,
but it would keep me up way later than I
wanted to be. Do you guys remember pillow talk happening
as like twenty seven eight year old people see, like.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
I don't you do the guys, Yeah, of course.
Speaker 6 (14:58):
Yes to some degree.
Speaker 7 (14:59):
But I'm like, I I feel like they never let
us like sleep, and so by the time we actually
were like going to bed, it was like okay, like
literally like lights out, like everyone shut up, like seriously, Yeah,
we did have like not in our rooms like everything,
like all of our convers I mean literally I probably
had maybe one conversation that was in my room and
there was like no cameras. But then they like came
(15:20):
and found me like thirty seconds later, and I was like, okay,
so like that did not exist for me at all.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Yeah, I don't really remember that existing either, but this
did jog a memory of them one time waking us
up at like five thirty. It was still dark and
all of us just having to do our makeup at
that time, where.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
Like this is a huge joke. We went to bed
at one thirty.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
That's the worst.
Speaker 7 (15:43):
And then the natural sunlight God heap two bad bag.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Eyes to cover your makeup.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yeah, the baggy eyes doing makeup on baggy, tired, puffy
faces the worst.
Speaker 6 (15:54):
You wouldn't know, guys, but the w I might know.
You might know.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
I think you know what I've never I don't think
I've ever said this. You know something I brought to
the Bachelor mansion. This is this is so embarrassing. I
brought because one of my girlfriends came and helped me
pack and she was.
Speaker 6 (16:13):
Like gal pals, Okay, I was like x.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
The same gal pals friend z owner a mascara brush
just to comb out my eyelashes because I wanted my
eyelashes to look good on.
Speaker 6 (16:31):
So you were doing that every morning when you were.
Speaker 8 (16:35):
Yeah, I remember that.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Now I actually feel like you did have eyelashes that
stood out.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
See, very pretty curly eyelashes.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
It's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I just thought about this.
Speaker 7 (16:47):
That's probably Sawn and Braiden bringing there.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Like remember that other dice.
Speaker 7 (16:52):
Like I'm joking, but I feel like Sean had like
a blow dryer.
Speaker 6 (16:57):
His hair, Like, oh, I can imagine that.
Speaker 9 (17:00):
Sean actually didn't have a blow dry That was actually
a big part of big issue in the house he
was so embarrassed before every day because he was like,
he's so self conscious about his hair, and it's so hilarious.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
That was actually opposite what happened.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
Amongst all you guys didn't have one hair dryer.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Yes it was I'm telling you.
Speaker 9 (17:21):
There were things that were happening that I couldn't believe.
I didn't need one, thankfully, but a few of the
guys did not a single hair drive. They had to
get one on like day three, so one had to
go buy one. How the hell did you not a
single one in there?
Speaker 8 (17:34):
It's crazy.
Speaker 6 (17:35):
That is crazy, And I.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Think Sean had to buy it.
Speaker 6 (17:40):
With his own money.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
They were like, yeah, we have like a fifty dollars
cap on this.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
You put blow the grocery literally for real, it was.
Speaker 8 (17:49):
It literally was on the grocery.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
But I'm even thinking back, I feel like when I
was on the Bachelore appe, it was March. Is that
March madness that's going on at that point? Yeah, And
we did a we did brackets, but we can't watch
(18:14):
the games. There's no TVs. And so at the end
of the day they would give us a score update
of who won and who lost, and we could fill
out a bracket based on that. It's such a fun
time now as we close with you guys, as you
think about your favorite memories at the Bachelor Mansion, like
the one thing when you think about that place and
(18:34):
who knows how much it's going to be renovated. We
don't know if the whole thing's going to change, if
it's going to be modernized, if they're just gonna paint
up some stuff or whatever. But let's say the mansion
changes forever. It never looks the same as when we
were there. What's your favorite memory at the mansion?
Speaker 7 (18:50):
I think for me would have to be like, obviously
there's so many like girl chats, but like my chats,
I feel like I had the most meaningful ones by
the pool or like outside, and I feel like the
pool is obviously like one of the highlights of the house,
and so I would be like kind of devastated if
they like completely, I mean, they can't take away the pool,
but like just making it look different.
Speaker 6 (19:09):
I feel like it's such.
Speaker 7 (19:10):
A memorable part of the house, like when you walk
in and obviously, like you know, night one, you're like outside,
you're going to the bar, You're seeing who else is arriving.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
It's just like so ingrained in your memory.
Speaker 7 (19:21):
So like that's like for me, I feel like one
of the best parts.
Speaker 9 (19:25):
Yeah answer, yeah, So they had the question is what's
going to be here? Nonetheless the question is favorite memory
or what we don't want to renovated?
Speaker 6 (19:35):
Well, I guess favorite, Wow, all the time together. Sorry
I didn't give a memory.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
I just said, but I don't memory.
Speaker 9 (19:45):
Yeah, I mean one of my favorite memories. Not to
steal yours, but was I was really quiet for like
the first week because I was hating my life and
I thought I made the worst decision of my life.
And then there's this time all the guys with the
pool super late, and then I decided to hop in
and that was the first time I really expressed myself.
And that's because those guys in there were all expressed themselves.
(20:06):
Was like Kayla, Barron Tanner and maybe one other person
that was in there, but they just.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Allowed me to open up.
Speaker 9 (20:13):
And that was sort of really like the first step
to maybe, okay, maybe this is okay right, Maybe I didn't,
you know, sacrifice everything for nothing. So yeah, pretty cool,
I would say. Also, obviously he's getting a chat with
her at the barbecue. That was the actual catalyst that
really changed and I was like, okay, like yeah, I
can stick around.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
I think there's something worth fighting for here. So that
was really beautiful.
Speaker 9 (20:37):
And then maybe something inside the house is the hot
waters and the conditioner did not work while we were there.
We actually had to go to the hotel. People have
no idea how old that that house is, and like,
I'm spectacular it is. It's like legendary, but there's really
I don't think it's that old.
Speaker 6 (20:58):
I think it's probably in its twenty.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
I have the same don't You're not alone. I told
actually the same thing when we started. I was like,
you you understand how old this house is, like how
beat up it is?
Speaker 9 (21:08):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Yes, And Ashley's like, no, it's perfect.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
This wasn't the Bachelor mansion that they used like the
first decade of the show though, And I don't think
that they built it until like two thousand.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
We will have to check on the building. Curious to
know that.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
But think about how much use the house has had
because the family had four kids and they grew up
in the house from when they were very little.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
And then don't have to protect the mansion people like
the mansion.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
I love the mansion.
Speaker 9 (21:37):
Okay you under yeahby late night.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
You wait, okay, go back to Don's saying you had
to go to a hotel to shower.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
We all did for a couple of days. Yeah, it
was hellish.
Speaker 9 (21:54):
We'd all have to go, but you'd have take turns,
you know, take turns in little what do you call
a little like bunches, and then go to the hotel
that we stayed in before to go shower, and then.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
You have to luxury.
Speaker 6 (22:07):
Yeah, the mansion reminds me of my parents' house.
Speaker 8 (22:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (22:13):
Do you understand that, Ben, I do.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
You're not talking about you.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Yeah, I know, but that's why I probably feel so
connected to the style.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Actually, your parents' house is beautiful. We don't want to
change it's.
Speaker 6 (22:26):
Not okay, it's yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
I just need to add what I cannot have changed.
It's the front because when you pull up in the
limo and you see the iconic front with the fountain
and the door.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
No, no, no, that actually probably is the best part.
Speaker 9 (22:44):
You know, it's the most memorable whole see on TV,
the part that we remember because that's our first interaction, not.
Speaker 7 (22:50):
Me saying the pool, I should have set the front door.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Yeah, hey, thanks for jumping on you talking about the mansion,
your memories. Uh, we appreciate your time. I will still
go down and say, like, one of the most shocking
parts of this whole experience is thinking about you sleeping
in a bunk bed twin mattress that isn't really a
full twin. It still shocks me and it's not right.
(23:12):
So good luck in the lawsuit, and we appreciate you
coming on.
Speaker 6 (23:18):
Bye.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Ye it was you know how in college you have
the long twin beds. They're different style twin beds than
not you have the little kid twin bed There's they're long.
Speaker 6 (23:30):
Do you remember in college?
Speaker 8 (23:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:31):
These were not long, No exactly, they were sure. I
actually have a memory that came off of what Charity
was saying. I remember falling asleep so deeply out by
the pool one day in one of those like really
beautiful like pieces of lawn furniture they had, and sleeping
hard because I was tired and waking up and looking
around and like having this like I don't know where
(23:52):
I'm at moment, and then realizing I was on like
at the mansion, and I'm being like.
Speaker 6 (23:56):
Whoa like, what's hilarious?
Speaker 1 (23:59):
You know what I'm talking When you wake up and
you're like, I don't know how I got here, and
then you're like it takes you a second. You're like,
I'm there's a nap thing.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Yeah, that doesn't that doesn't happen in the mornings. That
happens during naps.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Yes, it happened to me, I remember, and then kind
of like smiling and being like, oh, that's pretty cool,
pretty cool. I just think a nap of the Bachelor.
Speaker 6 (24:17):
Mansion, that's awesome.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
This has been the second part of our conversation on
the renovation that HGTV has announced that they're going to
be doing to the Bachelor Mansion. We've brought back some
past contestants to talk about their stories, experiences, what they
love and don't love about the mansion. This has been
a ton of fun reminiscing. I would say this, and
(24:41):
I think Ashley has proven it actually, out of all
the things that happened from your time on the Bachelor,
I would say, this mansion holds maybe the most special
place in your heart.
Speaker 6 (24:53):
Wait, more than Paradise.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
You think I'm talking Bachelor like mansion, Like that whole experience.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
I think because I was a super fan of the
show that arriving to the mansion and being in a
spot that I saw on TV for so many years
was the coolest thing. That was one of the very
main characters.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
To me, I agree. I'm fully with you, so I
hope you had fun listening as well. Until next time,
I've been Ben, I've been Ashley.
Speaker 6 (25:21):
See you guys.
