Speaker 3 (00:55):
So it's new We're single and ready to Mingo app
Botto this weekend.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
So you've been to Battle Rock before, I have.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
I've been twice once actually right before I was on
The Bachelor. No luck finding love, So I went on
the Bachelor and then I was there last year and
I was in a relationship, and I will say that
there were some good looking men. Even though I was
in a relationship, my eyes were still you know, looking.
So I'm really excited to be there and be single
(01:26):
this year.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Heck yeah, Well, we are in Napa for Battle Rock.
It's most of our first times besides Annaly's, and I'm
so excited. We're in a house that kind of emulates
a little bit of the Bachelor Mansion, which is kind
of it's like a girl's trip Bachelor Mansion is. It's
bringing up a lot of memories. We've been talking a
lot about our memories in the Bachelor Mansion and speaking
(01:48):
of the gorgeous house we're in, have you guys heard
that they're doing an HGTV show, Yes, renovating the Bachelor Mansion.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
I have feelings about this.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Let's hear it.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Are you so sad?
Speaker 5 (01:58):
I don't want them to renovate the Olive Garden. Every
time I go there, I almost cry. Like the way
it smells, I like the way it looks. I feel
like I'm just emo because I've spent two seasons.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
There and I don't ever want it to change, and.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
I want my same room where I had my bunk
bed to be the same room.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Wait where was your bunk? Okay, so there's facing the
door the two.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
It was if you walk up the side stairs that
corner room.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
No, yeah, but what bunk bed? Because I was in
that room.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
Was on the left side, top bunk.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Oh, and I in the same but bottom.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
Did you have a ladder to get up to your bunk?
Speaker 7 (02:38):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:38):
No, no, I was bottom bunk.
Speaker 6 (02:40):
Okay, So we didn't have flatterers.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
So you did not.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
I would bounce off Serene's head and I would jump
from Serene's bed and I would ricochet into my top
bunk with my thin blanket, and I would curl up
for my two hours of sleep.
Speaker 6 (02:57):
And I miss it like I missed the memories of that.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
You yeah, and Serene probably misses me jumping on her
bed because we always had opposite date.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
But we were also like young and spry, and we
could live off of two to four hours of sleep,
and it was.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
I'm on the Bachelor. This is the craziest moment in
my life.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
And in the mansion, it's like what day four, right,
and You're like, adrenaline is still pumping from night one
and you're like, oh my gosh, and I don't want
it to change.
Speaker 8 (03:23):
I know, it just kind of sound that it's changing
because it's just like too though, because it's true. Some
Bachelor alum are recreating the mansion and it is like
overdue a bit for a makeover. Yeah, you know, so
I'm excited to see who they pick to renovate and
what they're going to do with it. I also feel
like they'll keep like the core like values. You know,
They're not going to make it look like completely different.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Hopefully they'll keep some of.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
The stuff essence I don't like.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
So I'm just putting it out there. I wanted to
stay the same forever.
Speaker 7 (03:53):
Well.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
I was talking to like Genevieve two and I was like,
I feel like, when you pull up to the mansion
for the first time, it looks exactly how it does
on TV, and it's like the most like iconic place
and the most iconic backdrop, and I want everyone to
experience that.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
No, but I think in my mind the exterior is
going to stay the same. It's like solely interior.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
But this place that we are at in Napa, it
would be the most picturesque place for a new revamped Bachelor.
I could see like Golden being filmed here. This place
is incredible, The views are incredible, and it kind of
looks like a revamped version of the Bachelor Mansion. So
(04:34):
I feel like, if they're gonna be if this is
the thing, if they're gonna be redoing the Bachelor Mansion,
then is it going to be putting a pause on
filming or is it going to be a new Bachelor Mansion.
This is what I'm curious about.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Like, but I do like this for Golden specifically because
like Napa, Sonima is a little bit slower pace, you know,
and then La is more fast paced, and you've got
a bunch of different edges of the city. I think
this would be perfect. I agree. Yeah, I love to
be perfect.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
I love this, But also it's like remo and beautiful
and they have all of the things. I mean, having
spent time in the Bachelor Mansion and then also in
the in the Paradise well in Mexico, how the housing
was like, this would be a perfect kind of like
housing situation.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
I agree. Also, we talked a little bit about meals
and cooking your own meals in the Bachelor Mansion, which
I think most people now know that we have to
cook all our own meals in the mansion breakfast, lunch,
and dinner, unless it's a Row ceremony and it's catered,
but otherwise we're like cooking everything ourselves. What was your
favorite meal in realis?
Speaker 7 (05:43):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
I was it something you cooked? Was it something someone
cooked for.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
I feel like there was always like there was always
certain people that would step up and cook every meal.
So I don't know if you all had the same experience,
but I love cooking, and I was always a little
bit bummed because there would be people that were like
a little bit of those bull headed people that were like,
I'm cooking today, and they would make breakfast for everyone,
and you're like, that's not really what I.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Was it contestants or producers because we can't producers like
step up.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
I think it was it was contestants my season, Like
in the Bachelor Mansion, I think that contestants cooked every meal,
except for maybe there was I think there was maybe
like a one or two meals that were brought in,
but I feel like it was all of us cooking.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
That's amazing. What was your guys' favorite.
Speaker 8 (06:32):
I lived off the Dina nuggets. Oh, the Dino nuggets
are so good. We'd put like fifty of them in
the other way, they'd be gone in.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Like two seconds.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Once you said that, I forgot that we had like
a request list where we could just be like, I
want this, I want I forgot that.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
That was like one of my favorite parts because you
could get anything you want to have that.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
It's amazing and like someone would go grocery shopping for
you essentially. Yeahah, literally, oh that was amazing.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
I kind of forgot that existed and that was that's
iconic that they like the.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Next day, yes, or that that afternoon.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Literally whatever you wanted.
Speaker 6 (07:05):
Even I had a different situation.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
There were like three people that would cook, and it
was never enough food for like everyone, which isn't there
they're not chefs. And it was like, oh my gosh,
you had a little food, so you need to do dishes,
and so and so isn't contributing.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
It was so excitive.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
I just didn't eat, like I think I lost weight and.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
I feel like that how it was for us too.
Speaker 6 (07:30):
I was so terrified.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
You know, the.
Speaker 9 (07:33):
Likes all that candy, that's what I was eating.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
I was to hide the cameras. Though we looked at
that as like decord to hide the cameras, we didn't
touch them, I.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Don't think anyway.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
I was that.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
That's so funny.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
The skittles.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
We did not lose weight our season. We were fed,
and I think ourroducers were like, you guys don't know
how to cook, so we're going to step in. We're
going to teach you how to make bacon. We're going
to teach you how to make like a fritata. Like
we learned everything, and.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
Wow, you guys are on the Food Network.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
No, definitely I gained weight like throughout the season once
we left mansion.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
But in the Mansion, I remember like it was a
scary time to be on Clayton season.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Like, no, it wasn't. But like the shrimp gate, like there.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
Was like just a lot of chefs in the kitchen.
It was grass that was.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
I feel like that's what scarred me, the shrimp gate.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I was stayed out of the kitchen after that.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Can we do a little recap on the on shrimp?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yeah, so we talked about this earlier today because I
needed a recap, but yeah, please recap us about Jenny.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
You are the shrimp.
Speaker 9 (08:46):
Long story short, I believe someone made shrimp and everyone
ate the It wasn't her, No, no, Kate, I think Kate. Okay,
Kate made shrimp and people ate the shrimp and then
ate shrimp.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Sorry, shrimp.
Speaker 9 (09:01):
She made shrimp and then she went to offer the
shrimp to people and something about the hot tub. Elizabeth
didn't turn around and eat the shrimp, and so.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Then Elizabeth said she wasn't in thet Elizabeth said she
was not in the back she was, so I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
So we just had a huge issue.
Speaker 9 (09:19):
I truly to this day can help look at shrimp.
It wasn't about the shrimp though, it really wasn't. It
was about like it was just it was a mess. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I don't know if anyone watches, but.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Even like besides just the shrimp, like I know, Cierra
was in the kitchen a lot like it was a
lot of like only certain people would cook.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
And then it.
Speaker 9 (09:42):
Was almost like they were trying to not make enough
for everyone. If that like they were like no, only.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Certain only who helped That's what it was.
Speaker 9 (09:48):
Only the people who helped cut something or helped make
those are the people that could eat, and if you
didn't help or if you weren't in the kitchen at
that time, no you can't eat.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
I was terrified of every Like when I first got there,
I was so scared, so I wouldn't step on anyone's too.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I totally feel that.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Like I love to cook, and when I was in
the Bachelor Mansion, I like, all of a sudden felt
so nervous, like because people would step up and they
would start cooking, and I was like, Okay, I'm not
gonna I'm not I'm not gonna do that, like it's
their thing. They're stepping up, like it just felt all
of a sudden, like Okay, somebody else is taking control.
Speaker 7 (10:23):
I'm gonna let them.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
It feels like the most beautiful women you've ever seen
in the house. And I remember just being like, Okay,
well I'm out next week.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Guys like I'm lucky I'm here.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
So I just was like, so step back, like I
was not packing.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Yeah, Rachel didn't.
Speaker 9 (10:40):
Rachel, she thought she was going to go home, like
she didn't even have My husband did.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
The same thing.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
I was like, if I make it past night one,
that is a miracle, like truly and so everyone had
a dressed me after week two, and then everyone would
put their stuff in my suitcase because I had so
much empty room.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Yeah, how was I supposed to know?
Speaker 6 (11:02):
I got past night one?
Speaker 1 (11:03):
I was like, this is incredible, Like this is a
known life. Yeah, who's ending?
Speaker 7 (11:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:19):
So for my season Colton season, there are people who
led certain things, like people who led the kitchen, who
led you know, like cooking things and cooking meals and
like we're in charge of this. And then there are
people who led workouts, like they led different sectors and
I just like kind of followed along. But I'm wondering
if you guys led anything I followed.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
Yeah, they were like running your season with an iron fist.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
They don't know our girls were. They were just the
producers were in the kitchen. But like for workouts and
like everything else, I feel like it was just like
very structured in a way. I agree.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
I feel like a lot of that has to do
with cast, right, It's the it's the people. So there's
like always the certain type of people. I can't remember,
but I feel like Crystal, who was on my season,
I was on our season. She was a fitness guru
and I feel like she may have run a couple
of workouts. I can't remember because I did not join.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
I was really sleeping. I remember saying to producers.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
They were like, what time do you want.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
To wake up?
Speaker 3 (12:21):
I was the last one. Wake me up the last.
I could care less about doing my makeup, but I
would like to sleep. So I was always like waking
up the last. But I do know that there were
people that were getting up early and doing their workouts
and all the things, and I was like, I'm not
I'm not that person.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
But I did one. I just want to say I
did one, and it was like in the middle of
the day and between Margarita's. I also remember doing like
so we got announced we're going to Singapore, and then
it was like a mass like rush to the laundry
because there's I think one or two washing machines, right, yeah,
maybe one.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Was I think just for our season.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
We didn't want to.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Wash that they never did.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
Yeah, the word what they told we gave our like
laundry to them.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
I kind of remember.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Okay, so I was thinking about this the other day.
I remember like having a bag and like giving it
to someone. But I think on the day we were
leaving for Singapore, we were all rushing and doing our
own laundry because I was kind of wondering.
Speaker 8 (13:19):
I don't know. I definitely did too, But when we
traveled then you would give it to them, you want
to take it?
Speaker 7 (13:27):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
I don't know. I'm forgetting.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Maybe I just didn't do laundry.
Speaker 7 (13:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
All I remembers when we did laundry, we would give
them our lunch.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Yes, and we would get it back in a bag.
Speaker 6 (13:37):
Yeah, that was amazing.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
That was my favorite part of the show, giving my laundry.
Just me and Jen never ran anything we ran.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
We were at the bar first. That that's when we
became friends, actually at the bar.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
At the bar, yeah, I do want to say that. Okay.
So before we recorded this, we all talked about our
secrets because we're supposed to be sharing secrets from the mansion,
and we all shared our secrets that we.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
That we can't I can't talk about.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
But one of the questions on here is has anyone
broken something in the mansion and been keeping it a
secret for years? Which is pretty pointed, do you guys.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
Great I already told this, Okay, So I said on
almost famous with Ben and Ashley.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
So there was a night we would all pretend that
we were toy story toys because when the handlers come
in your room, you can't be talking to each other.
But we weren't even talking about Clayton, like we would
literally talk to yeah, but you couldn't. And there was
one night and it was me, Serene, Uh, Susie, and
Teddy all in one room and Serene was standing up
(14:46):
on her bed like straight, and a handler walked in
and she just fell down.
Speaker 6 (14:51):
Flat like she was a toy.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
And we heard this ikea.
Speaker 6 (14:55):
Bad crack underneath her.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Like it was actually insane how fast this bed broke.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
And then she ran to the bathroom and in the
process of running to the bedroom, she slid into a
mirror and broke the mirror. Yes, and it was actually
the funniest memory I have in the mansion, Like I
will never forget looking at her from the top of
the bed.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
I think that was the fun room. I was in
a big room, like.
Speaker 9 (15:22):
Yeah, and I had to climb on her bed to
get up to my bed.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
I want to ask a question too, because I know
when we were in the mansion, the temperature in rooms
was so different, like Genevie's room.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
Wasn't it hot?
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Yes? Or cold? One was hot and one was freezing?
Was so Susie?
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Ours was so cold. I was in the big mold
it was.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Freezing, and yours was hot.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Maybe no, so ours was so cold that one night
Susie went to the pool in the middle of the
night and got towels and gave us towels.
Speaker 6 (15:52):
To have more blankets, because I remember. I will never forget.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
I don't remember in my bed and I couldn't move
from the position I was in because of the heat
in that position, and I'm like, if I move, it's
going to be freezing.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Like I couldn't move in my bed.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
I did not have this.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
I don't know your room was hot.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Maybe it was hot.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
And we opened the door.
Speaker 9 (16:14):
It was I always opened the doors and people I'm like, no,
we need something, Okay, maybe yeah, then it was hot.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Okay's a blow heat like.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
On my nose under the covers of like, oh, that's
the worst feeling too. I hate that our room.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Oh wow, Okay. There are a couple intriguing questions here.
Did you guys take any souvenirs from that mansion?
Speaker 5 (16:38):
I took lost and found what I took someone's foundation
and it was like the best foundation.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Of what was I think there was lost and found.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
So when we were leaving the mansion to go travel,
I think there was just a bunch of stuff from
people who had left or not eliminated that they left
it behind.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
And someone left a Nars foundation and to.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
This day I still use it.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
My gosh, it is I wonder one. Let us know
that's expired. I will still but it's good.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
I'm still using a large radium finish, so good.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
It was yours, you know, because let us know who
that was.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
What did you steal from Paradise?
Speaker 4 (17:19):
You know, like the little bulls. I just put like
my jewelry in it.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
It's like you put in your bag.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
They say, I'm not I can't come here and leave
with nothing.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
So yeah, I just going to take something you should
have taken five.
Speaker 8 (17:36):
I took two and I felt bad, but I love
them now and the other one remember that, Yeah, I
took them both.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I know I should.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
I don't even remember.
Speaker 6 (17:45):
I didn't think took a pillow.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
I think it was cat from the mansion. A pillow.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
Okay, okay, interesting so fast.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
I didn't even pack my I was like run, I
was out of there.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
I didn't even know I.
Speaker 6 (18:04):
Was about to get there.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
My mine was always I was just packed, I was
ready to go.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
He was backed every single day, and she was running
down that jungle path trying to get out.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
There was I remember that.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
That was great, great TV, good TV, but just nuts,
like didn't you leave that path as well? Like the
producer path? Did you get in the van and left?
Speaker 1 (18:25):
I wasn't able. There was no van for me. I tried,
I literally tried. I was like, please, like, did Aaron
leave that path? I know that path?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
I walked that path many a days? Yeah, what about it?
Didn't you leave?
Speaker 1 (18:36):
I tried?
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Or did Aaron someone left?
Speaker 1 (18:39):
No?
Speaker 9 (18:39):
No, no, like I tried, and then he came after
me a few times. Yeah, and then yeah, I just
I ended up staying because I couldn't.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
There's no van for me. If there was a van
for me, I would have been out, but there was
no van. There was no active van. I was begging
for a van and I didn't get either.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Next question, Bachelor mansion or Paradise. Do you know anyone
that's snuck in a phone?
Speaker 9 (19:13):
No?
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Oh no, I don't don't.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
I don't remember the details because I feel like it
was forever ago. But I do remember somebody being like,
oh yeah, I snuck in the phone, and I can't.
I wish, I wish I could remember. But there were
a couple of people that were like brought in a
phone that they turned in, and then they brought in
like the burner phone or whatever that they would sneak in.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Wow, I know there have been people. There definitely have
been people.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
I don't have to reunion someone stuck in a phone.
Speaker 9 (19:45):
Like they tried to get like a four the iPhone,
like an old iPhone.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
They tried to turn that in protection.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Of all the places. That's so late, Yeah, to record
it or what?
Speaker 1 (19:56):
No, I think just to talk to people. I don't
know how.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Yeah, oh I know the babes.
Speaker 10 (20:02):
Yeah in Paradise, those were like or Paradise everyone wait,
because our season of Paradise, I think people had to
sneak off to vape off camera.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Yeah right, No, nobody was vaping when I was.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
No.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
I think they had to sneak off and just be
like vape for a second. I feel like I remember
that happening.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
Yeah, no one did on camera. Were people were just
hiding it.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Were sneaky, sneaky, sneaky.
Speaker 8 (20:36):
Interesting.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Okay, speaking of sneaky, the last one that's sticking out
to me, do you know anyone that has found a
path to sneak out of the Bachelor mansion and successfully
done it?
Speaker 1 (20:46):
No?
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I also don't know who would like want to do that,
because I feel like, if you want to leave, you
would leave, right, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
I like people knew the amount of times Jennie leave.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
I feel like it's easy. You could go to that
little like Malibu spot if you want to leave the mansion.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
I have time to sleep.
Speaker 6 (21:08):
I didn't even think about like, I'm just like I
want to sleep.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
And you're trying to survive.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
The minute I wanted to leave, I was like I
want to leave, and I left. It was on camera.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
I never wanted to leave.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
No, I like I eliminated myself on the Bachelor. It
was like, Okay, I think it's time for me to go,
and I left. But I like, I can't imagine. I
can't imagine being like I want to go and then
having to like sneak that. I feel like if people
want to go they go.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
People were sneaking out when they did the COVID seasons.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Oh, when they were stuck at the hotel.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Yeah, when they.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Were where did they go?
Speaker 6 (21:48):
It was on I think Matt James this season.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
People were like running, weren't they in like Pensacola, Pennsylvania nemic.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
But I do know.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
People were people were not in the room sometimes, I
do know that, but that wasn't the mansion.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Okay, it was probably a little bit easier because they.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
All kind of were like so spread out across that
little hotel.
Speaker 6 (22:14):
But that's the only thing I know.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
I know people snuck out in Thailand when we were
in Thailand on my season, and then this isn't sneaking out,
but it felt sneaky. A producer left an iPad in
my room, which was very Then I get to log
onto the internet and I got to do a lot
of things that's fun.
Speaker 6 (22:36):
And we've tried to throw her suitcase over the balcony.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
This is just no nose in Croatia. I just could
have if I wanted to.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
Because we are like balconies were near the ground, and
so every.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Day like I could go every day.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
I was like, Rachel, it's my last day a novick
because I didn't have any of it, and she'd be like,
I'm gonna leave later, so you can just have an
outfit Like I'm like, just take it like she would
because I'm leaving tonight and I'm like, no, you're not.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
And she did it every day she threatened.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Until I got did you leave yourself?
Speaker 5 (23:13):
No?
Speaker 1 (23:13):
I know.
Speaker 11 (23:14):
I went on the site, I know, and I got
broken up it and I was wearing blue with the break.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Wait. You never forget the outfit you got dumped in.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Never, And I still have say do you still have it?
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Because I still have to dress that I left.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
In from the Bachelor and I can't part with it.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
I actually think it's cute at.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Also, and I have, Yeah, I have the the outphathe
that I got dumped in. I have the outfit that
me and Dean our first date was in, and then
the outfit he dumped me in.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
And then.
Speaker 5 (23:52):
I have my row ceremony from hell dressed with all
the dirt on it from laying on the stairs.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
I'm sure that I got broken on it.
Speaker 6 (23:59):
I of everything tides the eyelash.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Someone che.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
Have your dress from your U? Don you have the
I don't remember breakup that was like he wasn't there.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Yes, it was on zoom. No, I was really on zoom.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Do you remember that one?
Speaker 5 (24:20):
No?
Speaker 4 (24:20):
Yeah, And I was literally like I was like, there's
no way, Like they.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
Should have just canceled that immunity into next week.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Literally, I know I had people dming me like that's
kind of iconic, the zoom. I'm like, is it it's not.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
The next week?
Speaker 5 (24:38):
Like I think we could have all agreed that that's
what that would have happened, and I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Would have wanted that.
Speaker 7 (24:44):
No.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Literally, just imagine me, like he doesn't say my name
and it's like okay, it's like say your goodbye. So
I'm like crying telling the girl's buty and then you
walk up to the screen and you're like like thanks
for everything, Like it was so weird. It was, yeah,
it's not it.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
No, it was so bad. It's so bad, like bye guys.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
Like the no, the quality of the video to was
like green, no choice too.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
He was probably like I don't want to do that. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
No, it was like delayed ten seconds too, like your audio.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Is not.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
It's like so quiet and normal, like my god, thank
you so much, like you're like softly talking to them,
and then you're just like so loud everyone you have
to like scream.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Yeah he was in a suit I don't and dates
that week we're on Zoom too. Oh, they literally made
us to dates on Zoom and they didn't er it. Well,
there a few, there a few.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
I remember the roast ceremony. I do not remember any
date ceremony, and I'm like, this is not real.
Speaker 5 (25:51):
Yeah, it was so not that it was his choice again,
yeah I was above him.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
But yeah, it feels like a lot of good secrets.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
So it's new We're single and ready to Mingo app
Botto this weekend.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
So you've been to Battle Rock before, I have.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
I've been twice once actually right before I was on
The Bachelor. No luck finding love, So I went on
the Bachelor and then I was there last year and
I was in a relationship, and I will say that
there were some good looking men. Even though I was
in a relationship, my eyes were still you know, looking.
So I'm really excited to be there and be single
(01:26):
this year.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Heck yeah, Well, we are in Napa for Battle Rock.
It's most of our first times besides Annaly's, and I'm
so excited. We're in a house that kind of emulates
a little bit of the Bachelor Mansion, which is kind
of it's like a girl's trip Bachelor Mansion is. It's
bringing up a lot of memories. We've been talking a
lot about our memories in the Bachelor Mansion and speaking
(01:48):
of the gorgeous house we're in, have you guys heard
that they're doing an HGTV show, Yes, renovating the Bachelor Mansion.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
I have feelings about this.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Let's hear it.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Are you so sad?
Speaker 5 (01:58):
I don't want them to renovate the Olive Garden. Every
time I go there, I almost cry. Like the way
it smells, I like the way it looks. I feel
like I'm just emo because I've spent two seasons.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
There and I don't ever want it to change, and.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
I want my same room where I had my bunk
bed to be the same room.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Wait where was your bunk? Okay, so there's facing the
door the two.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
It was if you walk up the side stairs that
corner room.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
No, yeah, but what bunk bed? Because I was in
that room.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
Was on the left side, top bunk.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Oh, and I in the same but bottom.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
Did you have a ladder to get up to your bunk?
Speaker 7 (02:38):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:38):
No, no, I was bottom bunk.
Speaker 6 (02:40):
Okay, So we didn't have flatterers.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
So you did not.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
I would bounce off Serene's head and I would jump
from Serene's bed and I would ricochet into my top
bunk with my thin blanket, and I would curl up
for my two hours of sleep.
Speaker 6 (02:57):
And I miss it like I missed the memories of that.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
You yeah, and Serene probably misses me jumping on her
bed because we always had opposite date.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
But we were also like young and spry, and we
could live off of two to four hours of sleep,
and it was.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
I'm on the Bachelor. This is the craziest moment in
my life.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
And in the mansion, it's like what day four, right,
and You're like, adrenaline is still pumping from night one
and you're like, oh my gosh, and I don't want
it to change.
Speaker 8 (03:23):
I know, it just kind of sound that it's changing
because it's just like too though, because it's true. Some
Bachelor alum are recreating the mansion and it is like
overdue a bit for a makeover. Yeah, you know, so
I'm excited to see who they pick to renovate and
what they're going to do with it. I also feel
like they'll keep like the core like values. You know,
They're not going to make it look like completely different.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Hopefully they'll keep some of.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
The stuff essence I don't like.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
So I'm just putting it out there. I wanted to
stay the same forever.
Speaker 7 (03:53):
Well.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
I was talking to like Genevieve two and I was like,
I feel like, when you pull up to the mansion
for the first time, it looks exactly how it does
on TV, and it's like the most like iconic place
and the most iconic backdrop, and I want everyone to
experience that.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
No, but I think in my mind the exterior is
going to stay the same. It's like solely interior.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
But this place that we are at in Napa, it
would be the most picturesque place for a new revamped Bachelor.
I could see like Golden being filmed here. This place
is incredible, The views are incredible, and it kind of
looks like a revamped version of the Bachelor Mansion. So
(04:34):
I feel like, if they're gonna be if this is
the thing, if they're gonna be redoing the Bachelor Mansion,
then is it going to be putting a pause on
filming or is it going to be a new Bachelor Mansion.
This is what I'm curious about.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Like, but I do like this for Golden specifically because
like Napa, Sonima is a little bit slower pace, you know,
and then La is more fast paced, and you've got
a bunch of different edges of the city. I think
this would be perfect. I agree. Yeah, I love to
be perfect.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
I love this, But also it's like remo and beautiful
and they have all of the things. I mean, having
spent time in the Bachelor Mansion and then also in
the in the Paradise well in Mexico, how the housing
was like, this would be a perfect kind of like
housing situation.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
I agree. Also, we talked a little bit about meals
and cooking your own meals in the Bachelor Mansion, which
I think most people now know that we have to
cook all our own meals in the mansion breakfast, lunch,
and dinner, unless it's a Row ceremony and it's catered,
but otherwise we're like cooking everything ourselves. What was your
favorite meal in realis?
Speaker 7 (05:43):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
I was it something you cooked? Was it something someone
cooked for.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
I feel like there was always like there was always
certain people that would step up and cook every meal.
So I don't know if you all had the same experience,
but I love cooking, and I was always a little
bit bummed because there would be people that were like
a little bit of those bull headed people that were like,
I'm cooking today, and they would make breakfast for everyone,
and you're like, that's not really what I.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Was it contestants or producers because we can't producers like
step up.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
I think it was it was contestants my season, Like
in the Bachelor Mansion, I think that contestants cooked every meal,
except for maybe there was I think there was maybe
like a one or two meals that were brought in,
but I feel like it was all of us cooking.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
That's amazing. What was your guys' favorite.
Speaker 8 (06:32):
I lived off the Dina nuggets. Oh, the Dino nuggets
are so good. We'd put like fifty of them in
the other way, they'd be gone in.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Like two seconds.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Once you said that, I forgot that we had like
a request list where we could just be like, I
want this, I want I forgot that.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
That was like one of my favorite parts because you
could get anything you want to have that.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
It's amazing and like someone would go grocery shopping for
you essentially. Yeahah, literally, oh that was amazing.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
I kind of forgot that existed and that was that's
iconic that they like the.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Next day, yes, or that that afternoon.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Literally whatever you wanted.
Speaker 6 (07:05):
Even I had a different situation.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
There were like three people that would cook, and it
was never enough food for like everyone, which isn't there
they're not chefs. And it was like, oh my gosh,
you had a little food, so you need to do dishes,
and so and so isn't contributing.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
It was so excitive.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
I just didn't eat, like I think I lost weight and.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
I feel like that how it was for us too.
Speaker 6 (07:30):
I was so terrified.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
You know, the.
Speaker 9 (07:33):
Likes all that candy, that's what I was eating.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
I was to hide the cameras. Though we looked at
that as like decord to hide the cameras, we didn't
touch them, I.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Don't think anyway.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
I was that.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
That's so funny.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
The skittles.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
We did not lose weight our season. We were fed,
and I think ourroducers were like, you guys don't know
how to cook, so we're going to step in. We're
going to teach you how to make bacon. We're going
to teach you how to make like a fritata. Like
we learned everything, and.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
Wow, you guys are on the Food Network.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
No, definitely I gained weight like throughout the season once
we left mansion.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
But in the Mansion, I remember like it was a
scary time to be on Clayton season.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Like, no, it wasn't. But like the shrimp gate, like there.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
Was like just a lot of chefs in the kitchen.
It was grass that was.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
I feel like that's what scarred me, the shrimp gate.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I was stayed out of the kitchen after that.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Can we do a little recap on the on shrimp?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Yeah, so we talked about this earlier today because I
needed a recap, but yeah, please recap us about Jenny.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
You are the shrimp.
Speaker 9 (08:46):
Long story short, I believe someone made shrimp and everyone
ate the It wasn't her, No, no, Kate, I think Kate. Okay,
Kate made shrimp and people ate the shrimp and then
ate shrimp.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Sorry, shrimp.
Speaker 9 (09:01):
She made shrimp and then she went to offer the
shrimp to people and something about the hot tub. Elizabeth
didn't turn around and eat the shrimp, and so.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Then Elizabeth said she wasn't in thet Elizabeth said she
was not in the back she was, so I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
So we just had a huge issue.
Speaker 9 (09:19):
I truly to this day can help look at shrimp.
It wasn't about the shrimp though, it really wasn't. It
was about like it was just it was a mess. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I don't know if anyone watches, but.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Even like besides just the shrimp, like I know, Cierra
was in the kitchen a lot like it was a
lot of like only certain people would cook.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
And then it.
Speaker 9 (09:42):
Was almost like they were trying to not make enough
for everyone. If that like they were like no, only.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Certain only who helped That's what it was.
Speaker 9 (09:48):
Only the people who helped cut something or helped make
those are the people that could eat, and if you
didn't help or if you weren't in the kitchen at
that time, no you can't eat.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
I was terrified of every Like when I first got there,
I was so scared, so I wouldn't step on anyone's too.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I totally feel that.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Like I love to cook, and when I was in
the Bachelor Mansion, I like, all of a sudden felt
so nervous, like because people would step up and they
would start cooking, and I was like, Okay, I'm not
gonna I'm not I'm not gonna do that, like it's
their thing. They're stepping up, like it just felt all
of a sudden, like Okay, somebody else is taking control.
Speaker 7 (10:23):
I'm gonna let them.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
It feels like the most beautiful women you've ever seen
in the house. And I remember just being like, Okay,
well I'm out next week.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Guys like I'm lucky I'm here.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
So I just was like, so step back, like I
was not packing.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Yeah, Rachel didn't.
Speaker 9 (10:40):
Rachel, she thought she was going to go home, like
she didn't even have My husband did.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
The same thing.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
I was like, if I make it past night one,
that is a miracle, like truly and so everyone had
a dressed me after week two, and then everyone would
put their stuff in my suitcase because I had so
much empty room.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Yeah, how was I supposed to know?
Speaker 6 (11:02):
I got past night one?
Speaker 1 (11:03):
I was like, this is incredible, Like this is a
known life. Yeah, who's ending?
Speaker 7 (11:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:19):
So for my season Colton season, there are people who
led certain things, like people who led the kitchen, who
led you know, like cooking things and cooking meals and
like we're in charge of this. And then there are
people who led workouts, like they led different sectors and
I just like kind of followed along. But I'm wondering
if you guys led anything I followed.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
Yeah, they were like running your season with an iron fist.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
They don't know our girls were. They were just the
producers were in the kitchen. But like for workouts and
like everything else, I feel like it was just like
very structured in a way. I agree.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
I feel like a lot of that has to do
with cast, right, It's the it's the people. So there's
like always the certain type of people. I can't remember,
but I feel like Crystal, who was on my season,
I was on our season. She was a fitness guru
and I feel like she may have run a couple
of workouts. I can't remember because I did not join.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
I was really sleeping. I remember saying to producers.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
They were like, what time do you want.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
To wake up?
Speaker 3 (12:21):
I was the last one. Wake me up the last.
I could care less about doing my makeup, but I
would like to sleep. So I was always like waking
up the last. But I do know that there were
people that were getting up early and doing their workouts
and all the things, and I was like, I'm not
I'm not that person.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
But I did one. I just want to say I
did one, and it was like in the middle of
the day and between Margarita's. I also remember doing like
so we got announced we're going to Singapore, and then
it was like a mass like rush to the laundry
because there's I think one or two washing machines, right, yeah,
maybe one.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Was I think just for our season.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
We didn't want to.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Wash that they never did.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
Yeah, the word what they told we gave our like
laundry to them.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
I kind of remember.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Okay, so I was thinking about this the other day.
I remember like having a bag and like giving it
to someone. But I think on the day we were
leaving for Singapore, we were all rushing and doing our
own laundry because I was kind of wondering.
Speaker 8 (13:19):
I don't know. I definitely did too, But when we
traveled then you would give it to them, you want
to take it?
Speaker 7 (13:27):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
I don't know. I'm forgetting.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Maybe I just didn't do laundry.
Speaker 7 (13:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
All I remembers when we did laundry, we would give
them our lunch.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Yes, and we would get it back in a bag.
Speaker 6 (13:37):
Yeah, that was amazing.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
That was my favorite part of the show, giving my laundry.
Just me and Jen never ran anything we ran.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
We were at the bar first. That that's when we
became friends, actually at the bar.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
At the bar, yeah, I do want to say that. Okay.
So before we recorded this, we all talked about our
secrets because we're supposed to be sharing secrets from the mansion,
and we all shared our secrets that we.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
That we can't I can't talk about.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
But one of the questions on here is has anyone
broken something in the mansion and been keeping it a
secret for years? Which is pretty pointed, do you guys.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
Great I already told this, Okay, So I said on
almost famous with Ben and Ashley.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
So there was a night we would all pretend that
we were toy story toys because when the handlers come
in your room, you can't be talking to each other.
But we weren't even talking about Clayton, like we would
literally talk to yeah, but you couldn't. And there was
one night and it was me, Serene, Uh, Susie, and
Teddy all in one room and Serene was standing up
(14:46):
on her bed like straight, and a handler walked in
and she just fell down.
Speaker 6 (14:51):
Flat like she was a toy.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
And we heard this ikea.
Speaker 6 (14:55):
Bad crack underneath her.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Like it was actually insane how fast this bed broke.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
And then she ran to the bathroom and in the
process of running to the bedroom, she slid into a
mirror and broke the mirror. Yes, and it was actually
the funniest memory I have in the mansion, Like I
will never forget looking at her from the top of
the bed.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
I think that was the fun room. I was in
a big room, like.
Speaker 9 (15:22):
Yeah, and I had to climb on her bed to
get up to my bed.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
I want to ask a question too, because I know
when we were in the mansion, the temperature in rooms
was so different, like Genevie's room.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
Wasn't it hot?
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Yes? Or cold? One was hot and one was freezing?
Was so Susie?
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Ours was so cold. I was in the big mold
it was.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Freezing, and yours was hot.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Maybe no, so ours was so cold that one night
Susie went to the pool in the middle of the
night and got towels and gave us towels.
Speaker 6 (15:52):
To have more blankets, because I remember. I will never forget.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
I don't remember in my bed and I couldn't move
from the position I was in because of the heat
in that position, and I'm like, if I move, it's
going to be freezing.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Like I couldn't move in my bed.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
I did not have this.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
I don't know your room was hot.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Maybe it was hot.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
And we opened the door.
Speaker 9 (16:14):
It was I always opened the doors and people I'm like, no,
we need something, Okay, maybe yeah, then it was hot.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Okay's a blow heat like.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
On my nose under the covers of like, oh, that's
the worst feeling too. I hate that our room.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Oh wow, Okay. There are a couple intriguing questions here.
Did you guys take any souvenirs from that mansion?
Speaker 5 (16:38):
I took lost and found what I took someone's foundation
and it was like the best foundation.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Of what was I think there was lost and found.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
So when we were leaving the mansion to go travel,
I think there was just a bunch of stuff from
people who had left or not eliminated that they left
it behind.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
And someone left a Nars foundation and to.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
This day I still use it.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
My gosh, it is I wonder one. Let us know
that's expired. I will still but it's good.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
I'm still using a large radium finish, so good.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
It was yours, you know, because let us know who
that was.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
What did you steal from Paradise?
Speaker 4 (17:19):
You know, like the little bulls. I just put like
my jewelry in it.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
It's like you put in your bag.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
They say, I'm not I can't come here and leave
with nothing.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
So yeah, I just going to take something you should
have taken five.
Speaker 8 (17:36):
I took two and I felt bad, but I love
them now and the other one remember that, Yeah, I
took them both.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I know I should.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
I don't even remember.
Speaker 6 (17:45):
I didn't think took a pillow.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
I think it was cat from the mansion. A pillow.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
Okay, okay, interesting so fast.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
I didn't even pack my I was like run, I
was out of there.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
I didn't even know I.
Speaker 6 (18:04):
Was about to get there.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
My mine was always I was just packed, I was
ready to go.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
He was backed every single day, and she was running
down that jungle path trying to get out.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
There was I remember that.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
That was great, great TV, good TV, but just nuts,
like didn't you leave that path as well? Like the
producer path? Did you get in the van and left?
Speaker 1 (18:25):
I wasn't able. There was no van for me. I tried,
I literally tried. I was like, please, like, did Aaron
leave that path? I know that path?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
I walked that path many a days? Yeah, what about it?
Didn't you leave?
Speaker 1 (18:36):
I tried?
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Or did Aaron someone left?
Speaker 1 (18:39):
No?
Speaker 9 (18:39):
No, no, like I tried, and then he came after
me a few times. Yeah, and then yeah, I just
I ended up staying because I couldn't.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
There's no van for me. If there was a van
for me, I would have been out, but there was
no van. There was no active van. I was begging
for a van and I didn't get either.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Next question, Bachelor mansion or Paradise. Do you know anyone
that's snuck in a phone?
Speaker 9 (19:13):
No?
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Oh no, I don't don't.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
I don't remember the details because I feel like it
was forever ago. But I do remember somebody being like,
oh yeah, I snuck in the phone, and I can't.
I wish, I wish I could remember. But there were
a couple of people that were like brought in a
phone that they turned in, and then they brought in
like the burner phone or whatever that they would sneak in.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Wow, I know there have been people. There definitely have
been people.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
I don't have to reunion someone stuck in a phone.
Speaker 9 (19:45):
Like they tried to get like a four the iPhone,
like an old iPhone.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
They tried to turn that in protection.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Of all the places. That's so late, Yeah, to record
it or what?
Speaker 1 (19:56):
No, I think just to talk to people. I don't
know how.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Yeah, oh I know the babes.
Speaker 10 (20:02):
Yeah in Paradise, those were like or Paradise everyone wait,
because our season of Paradise, I think people had to
sneak off to vape off camera.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Yeah right, No, nobody was vaping when I was.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
No.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
I think they had to sneak off and just be
like vape for a second. I feel like I remember
that happening.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
Yeah, no one did on camera. Were people were just
hiding it.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Were sneaky, sneaky, sneaky.
Speaker 8 (20:36):
Interesting.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Okay, speaking of sneaky, the last one that's sticking out
to me, do you know anyone that has found a
path to sneak out of the Bachelor mansion and successfully
done it?
Speaker 1 (20:46):
No?
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I also don't know who would like want to do that,
because I feel like, if you want to leave, you
would leave, right, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
I like people knew the amount of times Jennie leave.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
I feel like it's easy. You could go to that
little like Malibu spot if you want to leave the mansion.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
I have time to sleep.
Speaker 6 (21:08):
I didn't even think about like, I'm just like I
want to sleep.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
And you're trying to survive.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
The minute I wanted to leave, I was like I
want to leave, and I left. It was on camera.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
I never wanted to leave.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
No, I like I eliminated myself on the Bachelor. It
was like, Okay, I think it's time for me to go,
and I left. But I like, I can't imagine. I
can't imagine being like I want to go and then
having to like sneak that. I feel like if people
want to go they go.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
People were sneaking out when they did the COVID seasons.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Oh, when they were stuck at the hotel.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Yeah, when they.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Were where did they go?
Speaker 6 (21:48):
It was on I think Matt James this season.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
People were like running, weren't they in like Pensacola, Pennsylvania nemic.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
But I do know.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
People were people were not in the room sometimes, I
do know that, but that wasn't the mansion.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Okay, it was probably a little bit easier because they.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
All kind of were like so spread out across that
little hotel.
Speaker 6 (22:14):
But that's the only thing I know.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
I know people snuck out in Thailand when we were
in Thailand on my season, and then this isn't sneaking out,
but it felt sneaky. A producer left an iPad in
my room, which was very Then I get to log
onto the internet and I got to do a lot
of things that's fun.
Speaker 6 (22:36):
And we've tried to throw her suitcase over the balcony.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
This is just no nose in Croatia. I just could
have if I wanted to.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
Because we are like balconies were near the ground, and
so every.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Day like I could go every day.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
I was like, Rachel, it's my last day a novick
because I didn't have any of it, and she'd be like,
I'm gonna leave later, so you can just have an
outfit Like I'm like, just take it like she would
because I'm leaving tonight and I'm like, no, you're not.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
