let's get into right now. Let's get into these Okay, fabulous,
here we go.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
Welcome to Golden Hour. I'm so happy to be here.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
I'm good. Tell us, tell us share. How did you
feel seen all the women again?

Speaker 3 (00:55):
Oh god, that's a highlight because I miss these ladies
so much, and you know, just waving and waiting yesterday
it was just.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
A come on.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
It was like torture and we were just like, we're
like teenagers.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
We know exactly how you feel the best. You shared
so much emotion and.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
How did that? How did that feel? Milk?

Speaker 3 (01:20):
Oh my god, well, I was so excited to see
Milk again. I mean I have processed and worked through everything,
and also watching the episodes, you know, it gives you
a lot of clarity, right, and so I saw very
clear that his heart was elsewhere and he had stronger connections,
and you know that makes it a little easier because

(01:41):
you see it.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
The reason you yeah, I saw you kept asking was
it because of this sort because you.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
Do wonder and you know I kept wondering that and
because I had to see those episodes, so I did.
You know, we work through all the feelings, right, it's
such a rollercoaster ride. But seeing him was great and
he's lovely and it was just fun. I just really
enjoyed myself.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
How do you feel about your dating life going forward?

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Well, I'm excited because I really meant it that he
kick started my.

Speaker 4 (02:15):
Heart because you know, I had given up for so
long and just to know that, oh my gosh, I
can feel this again, and also having confidence again and knowing, wow,
you know I made it to the final three.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
And it's I think everything you say, Debbie resonates with
women of our age, the fact not having children, not
having been married, the fact that you are confident. I
love that you spoke to women about that.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
That's exactly where we came from. And I also admired
you for watching and dealing with the Coles what you
didn't know because you weren't every there, every second. And
she's come a long way. Yes, I talked to her myself. Yes,
everything's great, but yeah, I really respect how you handled it.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
I was worried that it came off too harsh and
I wasn't even going to say anything until she started
talking about women empowerment and all that kind of thing,
and I thought, well, that doesn't really match up with
what she said about your season. And also I did
feel dismissed by her. She dismissed my connection with mel

(03:29):
and other women and her comment, you know, when she
went home, it just didn't hit right. And I just thought, gosh,
I loved this woman, yeah, and what are you doing?
And I just didn't understand it. And I was really
disappointed in her, and I was literally I defended her
every day to someone and until.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
I saw that.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
And I feel better that you got it out, like.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
You know, yeah, but I also feel bad, you know,
because she got very tear out and she was pretty
upset with me.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
And I get it, but you know, it's my truth.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
And ye you got really just she hurt me, and
I just said, I just want her to know that
if these are the things you want to accomplish in life,
this is not the way to go about it. And
I hope that she heard that.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
I love that you're doing that again for other women.
I just want to know what's next for you, Debbie.
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
I mean, hopefully I will find my person. I'm just
so ready to, you know, just do life with someone and.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
You love yourself again, you feel I have been ready.
I have been ready.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
It's just that, you know, every guy that I was
set up with, either through matchmaking agencies or apps or whatever,
it was always ending in disappointment or frustration.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
It's to a lot of us.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
I know, but doesn't feel great to have hope. And yes,
know that you love your and again, I have to
congratulate you on the fact that you are giving women,
golden women, hope and letting them know that life is
not over. And that is a gift you are giving
to all the women. So you know what, it's a
hard time. That means a lot to me.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
It does, and being in love with yourself, whether you
find a true love or not being okay with yourself.
That is the most important thing, and we took that
off of our show. Yeah, well, we love.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
You, and we thank you for stopping by. You are You're.

Speaker 1 (05:35):

Speaker 2 (05:48):
Welcome to Golden Article. We're glad to have you.

Speaker 5 (05:51):
Thank you so much for having me. Both of you beautiful.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
So many questions ask you. Okay, you seem to get
a bit of a tough time today. Tell us about it.

Speaker 5 (06:00):
Yes, it was. It was challenging, but I do think
it was healthy. I appreciated all of the beautiful friends
that I have because they are all my friends expressing themselves.

Speaker 6 (06:12):
It was valid.

Speaker 5 (06:14):
I listened, and you know, I told them that I
wanted to do better. Uh, and so it was fine.
I think the only time I got a little bit
disregulated when was when after four different women said things
that there was a fifth and I just needed a
breath in between under that kind of But I do
know how to regulate my own nervous system, so I
know how to get myself back to balance and back

(06:37):
to center. So I just did some breathing and I
was fine.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
But it didn't help you understand what other people saw.
You know, You're good.

Speaker 5 (06:47):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
I love you guys so much.

Speaker 5 (06:49):
Yes, yes, of course it was helpful, of course, and
also I had to watch myself, so it was a
little horrifying at times.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
So that's very cringe.

Speaker 5 (06:59):
I don't even the sound of my voice, let alone alone.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
How do you feel now? How do you feel now
some of the things you said? How are you feeling
now about those things you said? And do you feel
like you're a different person now than you were back there?

Speaker 5 (07:15):
Yeah? I think I've even grown. I mean, I'm really
into a personal growth journey. And we all have moments
when in front of especially in front of a camera,
where we're like, oh, you know, I sort of forgot
that was there sometimes. But yes, I feel like I
have done some soul searching since since leaving the regrets,
you know, I regret in general is a kind of

(07:37):
I think it's in some ways pointless, but learning from
it is the way to go.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
So yeah, So that and I have to ask you,
how was it seen? Thank you the women again with
which it sounds great. How is it seemed mel again? Oh?

Speaker 1 (07:52):
Wow, you got choked.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Yeah, I got choked out.

Speaker 5 (07:57):
Well, I had a lot of feelings for now, so
you know, it was it was hard to see him.
I'm missed it.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
Do you feel like you have the closure that you need? Yes?

Speaker 5 (08:06):
Absolutely? You know, I think that closure is an inside job.
It's it's it's I don't it's a personal thing I
don't need.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
I won't get it.

Speaker 5 (08:14):
From anybody but myself, right, and so I have absolute closure, Yes,
a real.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Quick one, and I hope you find this. Do you
want to tell America that you're better looking than what
you thought?

Speaker 5 (08:28):
I want to say one thing to America. When I
saw both of you come into the mansion, I was like.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
That, we'll take it. I really did. I.

Speaker 5 (08:40):
You know, the way you guys are in person is unbelievable.
I'm your beauty inside. Well.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
I love that you mentioned about women's empowerment, because that's
being part of this family. Yes, we feel like that's
what it's all about.

Speaker 5 (08:53):
It is what it's all about. And I wish we
could have talked about that more. And I wish that
as a collective, our cast could have focused a bit
more on that instead of lemon bars, because.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
That's taking the credit. They find out she had.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
The majority From aside, I've been myself.

Speaker 5 (09:13):
I'm good at it's being self deprecating and making fun
of myself.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
I'm I'm absolutely fine. What is your plan?

Speaker 2 (09:21):
What is your future plan? Besides the cookbook?

Speaker 5 (09:26):

different person than I was before the show. I'm a
different person that than I was since the show.

Speaker 6 (11:08):
Thank you for.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
So only tell us we want to hear. How was
seeing all the women again for the first time fantastic?

Speaker 7 (11:18):
It was unbelievable. I missed them and we had I'm
sure you've been.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
Really I know.

Speaker 7 (11:26):
And people say, oh, were they No, they actually were.
These girls are going to be can I say girls?

Speaker 8 (11:33):
Women?

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Girls?

Speaker 1 (11:34):
Female?

Speaker 2 (11:36):
Female?

Speaker 7 (11:36):
Okay, whatever, I'm not politically correct. I'm sorry anyway. So
I had the best time in my life with them,
I really did. I have some friendships that I'll have
for the rest of my life.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
First of all, I find you very amusing, especially the.

Speaker 7 (11:52):
I don't know where that even came from, some old
Anglican speech, I guess I don't know.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
About saying something to mel. How did you addressing him tonight?

Speaker 7 (12:03):
We want to know, good did you hear what I
said to him? Because no, Okay, so when I went,
I don't know if he's the night I talked to you, right,
So I went and I said, oh, you know you're
going to remember very handsome. I said it three times.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
That just said about twice more for you.

Speaker 7 (12:28):
But you got to remember everyone's telling me about him,
So I know all these things. But I'm already of
Plus I stopped him before I googled, so I know everything.
So then I go there, I'm like, that's why I said.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
I couldn't asked.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
Say for us to hear where we were sitting. But
I want to ask you, Carol, how hard was it?
I value that you were able to self eliminate. Tell
me how that felt to do it. You talked a
little bit about tonight, but facing Melon talking about that.

Speaker 7 (13:00):
Well, you know it wasn't an easy decision at all,
and you know there's a lot that led.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Up to it.

Speaker 7 (13:06):
Yeah, Well that earlier that day, I had something in
my heart. I need to call my dad. So my
dad's eighty nine, and I you know, he's not.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
He's actively.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
Ds.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
Okay, he still works my brothers and so, but it's
something I just missed him.

Speaker 7 (13:23):
I really missed him. So I was a little emotional
before that day, and then I already had the roads
going into that night, and then my roommates got eliminated.
So I was by myself in that room, and I
thought to myself, tomorrow, if I don't get that single date,
that's going to tell me along one on one. If
I don't get that one on one, I'm the only

(13:43):
one who hasn't had that extra time with him.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
And how did that feel tonight? When you address that
with mel.

Speaker 7 (13:50):
I guess, okay, it didn't really you know, he didn't
really give me anything about it, but that's okay. No,
it's like, you know, since the elimination, it is so the.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
Best thing for you, sounds like was the friendships that
you made with the women coming.

Speaker 7 (14:08):
Yes, And don't get me wrong, I was very attracted.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
No, I really did. Like, we know, you thought he
was nice.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
We know that, Susan, we know that. Do you think
Carol was just?

Speaker 1 (14:20):
You know, he's totally my type and I'm very that
you went in for the kiss. I know you were
struggling with that.

Speaker 7 (14:29):
Because a kiss means a lot to me, and then
you don't remember I'm very traditional, so when all these
other women are going for him, it made me retrieve
a little bit. It may be like like you know,
of course the premise of the show, you got to
go for it, so I knew. I thought the memo,
I know what you're supposed to do.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
I had to rewire my brain. How did you feel different?
I'm sorry? Did you feel differently after you kissed them?

Speaker 7 (14:56):
You're more comfortable or after the first kiss, but after
the second kiss?

Speaker 2 (15:02):
Geez, we're counting kiss. I know it was going real
and more.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
Take Nicole, really.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
So what what's what's on your future plate? What do
you what do you what do you think your future
is going to hold for you?

Speaker 7 (15:14):
Okay, well you know what if this actually helped me
define what I really want to man.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
Oh, you've got about ten seconds listed. What do you want?

Speaker 1 (15:24):
So?

Speaker 7 (15:25):
One thing about mel he's very engaging. I know, I
believe or not he really is. When you're talking to him,
he's looking at I like that, and now you know
I haven't had that before.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
How is it seeing all the women again?

Speaker 8 (26:41):
Great because you know, obviously I know them, you know,
and I got to know them and seeing them again
it's like a reunion. You got to know because you're
you're in your own sorority. Yeah, fraternity sort of.

born into you can't get out of it, right.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
The hardest part for you tonight, The.

Speaker 8 (27:14):
Hardest part was, you know, just you know, reliving some
of the Yeah, and then you know when some of
the women that you let go and you really didn't
have a chance to talk to them and explain or
talk to them, you know, to sort of, you know,
soothe each other's feelings.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
Debbie was asking you, is it because.

Speaker 8 (27:35):
Yeah, it wasn't It was not even close. I didn't
think of those things. Yeah, that's not even never came
into my mind ever.

Speaker 2 (27:43):
With the journey a lot different than you thought it
would be, Yes, I didn't.

Speaker 8 (27:50):
You know, it's just very unique and it's you know,
it's like when you're in it's one hundred miles an hour,
and you know it's intense, but you're also earning and
there's a lot of clarity when you're doing it and
you just sort things out quickly.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
You don't want to judge things, yeah, and you.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
Don't want to make the wrong choice.

Speaker 8 (28:07):
You are true and I think, you know, based on
my own personality, I made the right choices along the way.

Speaker 12 (28:15):
That's a great feeling Wader when we first met and
the Hulu Yes event, and I said, be true to yourself,
stop breathe and.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
Just focus on you and what makes you tick and
what makes you feel. And I can accomplish it.

Speaker 8 (28:30):
And everybody who's been on the show, I took the
advice because you went through it and you know exactly
what I'm talking about. And I was telling my son,
I go take advice from everyone.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
By the way, your sons are adorable, tattle Tale and
the other ones. Yeah, and sus By the way, I
had a canary that on your promo when the show started,
you had dirty dishes in the sink. This is dwell
over the edge.

Speaker 8 (28:56):
Oh you know that's that's that's my son. Uh Andre's.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
See the one that talks.

Speaker 8 (29:03):
Yeah, but I've quieted him down and love it. I
tempt him down, you know.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
So now, what is the I want to know what
is the biggest thing you learned about yourself on this journey?
What is what's something you learned.

Speaker 8 (29:14):
You know that everybody talks about being vulnerable, but a
lot of introspection because you meet you know, I've met
twenty three women who have their own stories, and you
sort of evaluate your story, you know, you know, against
their story, not against but yeah, but you're sharing your
You're like, oh, I have this story, you have that story.

(29:35):
You know what are the similarities and you know where
do they mean? Yeah, and you find out that you know,
there's a lot of humanity there and people like love
to share their stories and you pull things from it.
And I learned all that along the way. I'm always
open to two stories and you know in finding out
about people, So that was really something special for me.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
How do you like the clouds that you walk on?

Speaker 2 (30:00):
Marshmallows marshal everybody talked about.

Speaker 8 (30:04):
Everybody's going to be wearing them, folks.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
My grandsome for Christmas, there one hundred some dollars for Yeah.

Speaker 8 (30:17):
But their recovery the recovery shoes. So if you have
if you work out, or you have a bad back
or you know, fatigue, you wear them and they're just
they're actually walking like cloud.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
Or I want to know what is one word? Because
you know we're not selling sneakers here what is the
one word that you would round this whole season? Love
your toasts. We got to wrap here quickly, but your
toasts were always fun, happiness and happiness. And yeah you
did that. I noticed that love, happy and fun.

Right, that's what it is.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
Yeah, that's what that's what it's about. Right, it's great.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
One last thing. You feel more relaxed, more open to receive,
being love and giving love. Now, you were a little
uptight in the beginning. I got to tell you. That's
what I say.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
I mean, we might like you might have called your
stiff once or twice or three hundred, but we love you.

Speaker 8 (31:12):
It's like it's like just trying to figure it out, right, Yeah,
