Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Ben and Ashley I almost famous in depth. Hey, guys,
it's Ashley and I'm joined here by the woman of
the hour, one of my favorite bachelorets ever, and there's
only been two episodes thus far, Hannah Brown. Hey, al right, Hannah,

(00:22):
Before we get into it, my first question to you
is I keep equating you to that girl in high
school who like, was not smooth with guys, who like
would see her crush walking down the hallway and you'd
like another way, yeah, and then you'd like, you'd like,
look into your locker, You're like, I don't see him coming.

(00:45):
But was this you? Or am I making up this
illusion of you? Okay, I'll tell you high school, Hannah.
High school, Hannah was s a president, homecoming queen, all
these things, but so not that shy, so not shy.
But when it came to boys, No, I didn't have
my first kiss. Tell seventeen. I only had one boyfriend,

(01:07):
one and a half boyfriends in high school and and
it would take everything in me to actually look at
them go down the hall when I first like them,
And in class I was known as that. My whole
I mean the whole school talks about me. Is like
untouchable because I just would like, don't talk to me,
turn the other way. They're looking at me. They're looking

(01:29):
at me. I should start writing my name. It was
so bad. Okay, so my dream is a reality. Yeah,
you are that relatable girl. Yeah, I was. I put
them in friends in, like I would be friends with
the guys. When they started flirting with me, No, no, no, no,
I got awkward. Really, yeah, you friend zone guys that

(01:51):
you liked, Yeah, because I would just like, I would
just like hang out with them, shoot the bull, you know,
and then when they started flirting, I'm like, oh, go ahead. Ever, so, then,
how did it happen that you started dating your first
boyfriend wasn't seventeen? Yeah? Uh. He was best friends with
one of my best girlfriends, and so we would all

(02:13):
hang out together and then somehow he told the friend
that he liked me and he started texting me. And
then I don't really remember our first date. If I
had texting in high school, yeah, it was. It was,
but it was all because I was hanging out in
a group and then realized that he liked to me,

(02:34):
but also his friend liked me to his very you know,
I just had to pick the favorite. You had that
one serious boyfriend though for a while, and that was
your only serious boyfriend going into the Bachelor right, too
serious boyfriends, but one for like a really like for
a while. And I met him in high school. I

(02:54):
remember the first time I saw him in ninth grade
and I turned around and his name was called in
class and I was I came home and I said, Mom,
I'm gonna marry him, and she was like, oh my gosh.
So then how we started flirting was playing cards in
Spanish class and both boyfriends in high school. Uh no,
just this. That was the first boyfriend we don't talk

(03:16):
about because he was nothing, yeah, nothing and stupid um.
And then after that we didn't talk at all because
his I don't know, his girlfriend, weird stuff. He started
dating a girl that didn't like me. So I didn't
talk to him from ninth grade until senior year in
high school. And then we had our next class together.

(03:37):
We didn't have any other classes together until then, and
he would just stare I would be he would just
his eyes were like attacking me. And so then he
just texted me one day randomly and I was like,
oh my gosh. Anyway, we started dating in high school.
We broke up for like a summer, and then we
were together for like three years, and it was you

(04:00):
didn't marry him, but I thought I was going to,
Oh my god, I broke up the next series. Really,
I have been trouble. The next serious relationship I had,
I ended up breaking that one off because I still
I loved him. I loved that guy, but I knew
I still loved the one that I dated for so
long and went back and told him and then he's

(04:25):
a nice So it's fine, I'm here now. And how
far was that from when you signed up for Colton
Susan Like a year and a half, I think so Honestly,
after that, after I put my heart on the line
and like ended a relationship that was going to be

(04:45):
like he was amazing, um, I I like, I was like,
I cannot date right now, Like I need to get
over both of these relationships now, because I just ruined
one for another guy that didn't deserve me. And so
I was just like not dating, not doing this, focusing
on Hannah. And so I then won Miss Alabama USA

(05:05):
like two months afterwards, and then I was just like
this is my year, and so I just focused on
myself and like what I needed, what I wanted, and
then the call for Colton seasons came and I was like,
you know what, I'm finally ready to date. And do
I want to do this this way? I don't know yet,
but we'll just see where it goes. And obviously it

(05:28):
went well. But yeah, I'm so glad that I had
that time by myself because I think since I was
like seventeen years old, I was always attached to a
guy in some way, and it was the first time
in my life that I was It wasn't Hannah and somebody.
It was just Hannah and figuring out what do I
like to do on Saturday and what type of movies

(05:51):
do I like? And like just me and I just
let a lot of guys validate who I was and
what I did, and so it was really really important
to meet important for me to have that time and
then be ready to go into this. I'm super thankful
that I had that now, knowing where I am now

(06:12):
because I learned from all those experiences but also took
the time to really dive into who I am, what
I want, and what I want my life to be, Like,
what does Hannah do on a Saturday and what kind
of movies do you use? Okay, my perfect Saturday would

(06:33):
probably be to do some type of workout, but not
too long, like a kickboxing wake up, have breakfast. Then
probably if it's summer, I'd want to lay out for
a little while because I feel like that's an actual,
like job. I like, it's like, Okay, I'm doing something productive.

(06:53):
I feel like I'm doing something So read a little bit,
maybe go on a boat whatever with one of my friends. Um,
But then honestly, I would rather pour a glass of wine,
be in my bed and just watch Netflix. That's my
perfect abject. Open Fit takes all of the complexity out

(12:37):
would you consider yourself an introvert? Because I've been doing
a lot of research between being an introverted extrovert and
for all my life, I was like, oh, you're an extrovert. Obviously,
You're like pretty social, you like to be you like
the attention, but socially, especially as I get older, I
realized that I'm such an introvert, like I need my
alone time and I can't go too long with socializing
until I start getting really agitated. Oh my gosh. So

(13:00):
I've taken all those tests and I'm like on the
line of introvert extroverts, So like, I know, I know
when I have to turn it on to be an extrovert,
like when I have because society is like made for extroverts.
So I'm like, sorry, I can do this. But when
I'm really a boy myself, my friends know that they
come over, I'll be like, all right, I love you,

(13:20):
but I'm going into my room now. They're going to sleep,
Like I just like, I have to have my alone
time and it's necessary for me to function. So I
feel like I really am like on the line of
introvert extrovert. But if I can choose and nobody's around me,
I'm introverted. So yeah, I guess it's so same. Yeah.
I think like successful people have to have like a
certain component of extrovert extroversion, right Yeah. Um, I guess

(13:44):
there's some exceptions to that rule, however, Um yeah. I
was in Nashville Jerry this weekend at a wedding, and
I was with his friends for ten hours, and I
was like putting on that smiley happy face from over
all the small talk and at like on dirt in
the morning, I was like, I am, I'm I'm going
to freak out. You know, I need, I need that

(14:05):
hole to go into right now. I can't do like
this smiley happy anymore. You know what I realized now,
it's like I probably look more extroverted than I actually am.
But I can't do the small talk for a few hours.
So what I'll do is there's music on, I'm like,
I'm gonna go dance by myself because it's like I
don't want anybody around me. I'm fine, please stop talking
to me. I love you. By I figured you're like this.

(14:28):
So how was the Bachelor process? How is being the bachelorette?
Because I think when you're on the Bachelor, even Bachelor
in Paradise, you can go like fake a nap or
whatever and get your alone time. You're like, I'm going
to go right in my diary. That was my go
to I'm gonna like go journal. But as the bachelorette,
you have to be on like sixteen hours a day. Okay,

(14:51):
this was You're getting into my biggest struggle. Yeah, I
figured it. I thought this was gonna be on the Bachelor.
I was. I had great friends and like I was
always like in in the group if I wanted to be,
but they would they knew that. I'd be like, all right,
if we're just sitting in chat chatting, which is probably

(15:11):
gonna lead to gossiping, I just want to go into
my room. And I would be in my room or
out by myself. I had this certain couch I used
to like, it's called my it's my couch, um and
the Bachelor mention, and I would go and I would journal,
Like I journal every single day, my thoughts, what I
wanted in a husband, what was going on, Like, I
truly did have to have that time to journal. When

(15:33):
I was an I loved interviews on the bachelor's side
because that was just my time. I would go in
there with a producer and I would be like, let's
do the stuff we have to do, and then I
see the talk talk through it. I don't so what
you and I probably liked. And this is a sign
of introvert introversion. As I've recently read that deep conversation

(15:54):
is actually totally finally we can do that for a
long period of tether, but it's little chit chat that
we can't do for a long time. I like, zone out,
don't care. I hate it. So on that side, as
a contestant, you have a lot of time to be
able to do that. And then I would go hang
out with the girls. But like all my friends knew,
it's like up there, she goes, she's out, she's taking
a nap, she's about to journal. So I had that time,

(16:17):
but I didn't really realize until I got there that
I don't have any of that time. I barely journaled
I never had a loan time. There was no off days.
There was no really therapy in my um interviews like
it ever was. I mean, we had a few days

(16:38):
where we had to have therapy because Homegirl was losing
her mind, but it was more narration and it was yeah, like,
I am, this is my story. I want to narrate
my story, and I am. I mean, I would say
I'm pretty good at it, so they wanted me to
do it all the time. But then I was like,
I need to talk about my actual feelings, like not
even like why do I react this way? Is because

(16:59):
of this in my past, Like that is what I
need to talk about right now because I'm spiraling, and
I think it was all the times that I struggled
so much. We're really because I didn't have the time
that I needed a way by myself, and we we
had to come to Jesus with everybody and realized that
like Hannah has to have thirty minutes, like I have

(17:21):
to or honestly, I'm a pain and asked to deal
with so thirty minutes one in the morning in the
middle of a period of time we were just says,
I'm going to need thirty minutes. So there was this
one time. Can I had to tell this one story?
It's fine. There was this one day in l A
was probably my biggest struggle, and I was getting ready

(17:43):
for a UM for a cocktail party after group day,
cocktail party, and everybody is just always staring at you.
Everybody's staring at you while you get ready, you're eating,
while somebody's doing your makeup. I mean, there's just no time.
And we had like two hours, but there's like fifteen
people in your room while you're trying to get ready,

(18:04):
so it takes forever. Well, I was doing my hair
and my producers were looking at me. I was like,
why are you looking at me? I'm trying to do
my hair right now, and I go, I'm just like
being a crazy woman, which I am. And so my
one of my producers, Sam looked at me and goes,
I think you need ten minutes, ten minutes to do whatever.

(18:26):
Just go stare at a wall or something. Do you
know what I did? I stared at a wall for
ten minutes. It was great. I came back out and
I was like, I'm sorry for whatever I just said.
I really don't know. Um, let's go do this thing,
but I there's a picture that she took of me
staring at a wall. I didn't talk. I stared at
a wall for ten minutes. So after that they're like, okay,

(18:48):
like that helps, so maybe we should give her, like
just some room. So like when Gina would do my makeup,
nobody I went and allow anybody else in there, because
I would also say, if I was you, that was
like my personal silent time. It I'd be like, I'm sorry,
you're wonderful. I need you to not talk to me.
And she was great until I wanted if I wanted
to talk out, Gina's my my girl, and then it

(19:10):
would like I had breakfast by myself, and then it
was like as soon as Carrie got finished, everybody could
come in. And so that helped a lot. So more
more in the mornings, there really wasn't that much time
after that. I mean, it was go, go go. I
didn't sleep. It was awesome. What was the average wake
up time? I can't really remember because I never had

(19:34):
a phone, and I asked, I asked them not to
tell me. I would be like, don't even tell me,
don't tell me what time it is, just wake me
up because I knew I was only getting like three
to four hours of sleep, and I didn't even want
to know what time it was because it's obviously adding
to your breakdowns. Yeah, but I mean until we got
to like the last few places, I started getting a

(19:55):
little bit more sleep. But the first two three weeks
are crazy. They have a tendency of waking you up
before you really have to wake up, and like that
hurry up and wait type thing. But for the bachelorette,
it's it's not her. It's not hurry up and wait.
It's it's not most of the time you're hurry up
and wait. On the other side, is because I was

(20:17):
having a breakdown because they were rushing me, and then
I was like, you're rushing me, um, I need to
have a chat right now, Benet, where are you? What's chat?
Because I'm frustrated and you do not want me to
go on this state right now. Calm down, I'm good, Megan,
um are one of our beloved producers is right here
sitting around did was she? Was? She a troublemaker? At

(20:41):
the beginning? Was the was the was Hannah? He used
out like in full force in the beginning, This is
the thing with me is I don't hold anything back,
and I think it's actually respected because they don't have
to question where I'm at my feelings. I'm gonna say, like,
if I have a problem, I'm just like, hey Bill, Julie,

(21:03):
this is not working. UM when need to fix we
need to fix it. And hey, I don't need a middleman.
I want to talk to the big dog myself. So
I'll be like they said, that's not working, I don't
I need to talk to him, and I think, yes,
sometimes I pay the ask and they said that, They're like,
you know, we knew when you we chose you that
you weren't going to be the easiest bachelorette. You were

(21:28):
going to be the most difficult. But we knew that,
but we love you like everybody. I'm so thankful for
the producers, the handlerds, the the UM production team, everybody,
because I feel so loved and they get me. They understand,

(21:49):
they laugh with me, they talk with me like I
as much as I calls them so much crap and
they probably wanted to pull every single one of their
hair out of their head or they have forty more
gray hairs. Now we all love each other and I'm
just so team Bachelor. I'm team Bachelor. I would I
would get a tattoo that said team Bachelor because I

(22:11):
love them, because they put up with me, They let
me cry, let me have my breakdowns. But ultimately we
got it done, and I'm really proud of everything that
you'll get to see. So do you think that your
difficultness was because of just like your personality and like
the kind of structure you need your life, or do

(22:33):
you think that the guys and there were like some
like it's just like issues with the guys that were
making you angry or or agitated a little bit of both. Um,
it's hard daily thirty men. Wow, I don't know why
I didn't think it was going to affect me emotionally. Um,
and then when you're having feelings for guys and everything's

(22:54):
not going like you wanted to, it's really hard. And
I feel like what happened was all those emotions went
into how like I reacted to the schedule or to
not having enough sleep or too oh my god, why
do I have to do another interview right now? I
know I knowed it the first time, but it was
really because I hadn't those emotions weren't exactly dealt with

(23:16):
like I felt like I wanted them to be at first,
because my interviews were very much so narrating my story
and not really getting too much into my feelings and
having those breakdowns as breakdowns are really important for me
to have to have my little cry session to vent,
to get it all out so that I can move forward,
because I don't really hold onto things. I am one

(23:38):
that if something makes me mad, if I'm upset, I
need to talk about it. And then after I've talked
about it, I like brush my hands off and I'm
like I'm done, let's go the next thing. We're cool. Now.
Did I ever tell you that um, a very special
producer once told me that I'm a goldfish and that
I would like want eating my feelings. I'd be like
crying one second, then he could make me laugh, and
then I'd be like all better. Yeah, oh and I

(23:58):
didn't like that this Yeah yeah, no, totally, Like I
I gotta get the cry out. I'm good, and then
it's like make me laugh, let's go do some of
the fun. So I mean it made for an entertainment
for everyone. So why do you think it got better
after four weeks or so. I think we all got

(24:19):
in the groove, like you're I'm on a different team. Um,
everybody is new. I mean, yes, everybody has done this before,
but it's a new season, new people, new Bachelor at
trying to I am was different on this side than
I was as a contestant in a way. Um, and

(24:39):
I think it was just finally we all got on
the same page with everything. But it took a little
while because I had a new team that hadn't been
on the Bachelor, like Bachelor Bachelor at lead side, and
we just all had super comfortable So just to explain
to the audience, there are some Bachelor producer is that

(25:00):
deal with the cast and they become like your very
best friends there and then you never really got to
know the producers that handle the lead And I've always
wondered how they would do that, because even in Paradise,
I'd be like, oh, I don't want to talk to
so and so because I don't really know them. And
in Winter Games, like especially since I was like four

(25:21):
years removed, you know, four years ingrained with some of
these people, I was like, I can't talk to the
new person. I will be able to give you what
you want. Yeah. So I got super close with my
producers when I was on Colton season and even like
on and like I was just close with like the
the execs that like have other jobs to do too

(25:43):
and can't just go into my sessions of breakdowns. But
so I did not. When I got the call that
it was me but I would have different producers, I
was like, well, why can't this person interview me? Like
we had to literally have a meat like a conversation
and of like I'm handing you over, but I'm working
to find I know you the most, so like I

(26:05):
want to work with your guys to help you. And
so then I had to have a phone call with
my new producers and it was like a two hour
phone call about like I'm really struggling with this. I'm
really struggling with you being my producer. Yeah, Like I
was very honest. I was like, I'm really struggling with
you being my producer and like me being able to
really give you what you want. But after it took

(26:28):
a little while and them to understand like I'm not
like why I do, why I react certain why I
react some ways to certain things. But then after that
it was smooth sailing, and I am like I love
my family, like I love everybody that helped me throughout
the entire thing. Like we have such a bonding experience

(26:49):
that like never will take away from the people that
I was close to. Um on the other side on
Colton season, but we just lived through some together. Let
me tell you, like, yeah we did, and so just
I think it helped me be more successful and then
be more successful at their job. Really like digging in

(27:10):
and figuring out, like, all right, this is where we
need to change things. Yes, maybe this is how it's
been done before for fifteen years, but I'm a new
I'm an individual, I'm different, and let's do this because
this is how Hannah works better. And is there an
example of something that they've been doing for fifteen years
that you were just like that doesn't work for me?

(27:30):
Oh my god, let me think. Um, so, I I
feel like I'm I'm I don't want to be like, oh,
I'm so good at this, but like I'm pretty good
at my interviews, like I know what to say. Never
somebody who dreaded going into interviews. I never did before.
But then on this side, when it became very like

(27:52):
narration and I felt like they were putting. I felt
like words were being put in my mouth. I was like, uh,
asked me a question, let me roll, Like, let me roll,
I will tell you about how fun this date is.
I'll be happy, I'll be excited, I'll be in I'll
be a little lovey dovey. Then I'll have sass, like
just let's make it a conversation. Don't put words in

(28:13):
my mouth of what like, we know that post wants
to hear. They just wanted to be concise so that
they can just like clip it and it makes sense
in the episode, but they don't need you to roll forever.
But I told all right, we gotta let her do
her thing, and then it was it was great, Like
I loved it. Um it just took and yeah, that
was just I think the interviews were what we had

(28:34):
to kind of get back on, like, Okay, some people
weren't better with us feeding of like this is what
we're gonna talk about. I don't need that. I want
the speed. Some people want to get in and get
out of there and you're like, no, I need this
thing that honestly. Um. I was talking to Sam and
she was like you're one that can hit all the
things that we need in like ten minutes. And so

(28:56):
I'd be like, they'd be like, all right, we have
a thirty minutes after this uh date that ended at
four o'clock. I'm like, I don't need I don't need
twenty minutes. I promise you I can get it to
you in ten and I would. And so like there
are certain things that like I was like, I need
I can do all this stuff to like narrate, but
then give me my thirty minutes to actually process my feelings.
So and then when once we work that out, it's like,

(29:17):
all right, we're gonna give you ten here, thirty here.
I was like, perfect, let's do it. That's when you
started getting rolling with it. Yeah. Do you see how
it's been thirty minutes and how I can literally go
on for another hour hour and a half. Yeah, no,
I mean see, I just was telling her that sometimes
he's in depths last for two hours and over, and
she's like, no way, what are you talk about for

(29:38):
that long? Because yeah, just everything, Well I think it's
you've been on this sidem so we can't we have
like this understanding. Um, And so it makes it any
like you're interested and somebody like understands. I wouldn't have
talked to people who actually understand it. It's been hard
to go back. I haven't talked to hardly anybody back
home because it's like we're don't even begin You don't

(30:01):
even know my everything, you don't know anything that's happened
to me. It's really hard to get back into normal
life with people who don't know this world. And I
think that's why we get so close, because nobody will
understand what we've been through except for each other. And
I remember when I got back from Crystals this season.
I think it took my took me six hours to
explain the entire four weeks to my mom. Took me

(30:23):
four hours. Okay, yeah, So I was like, I'll tell
the first two weeks here and then we'll go to sleep,
and then I'll tell you the rest of the morning,
I said, my mom, her best friend, and then my
two best friends. I said, all right, I'm doing this
one time. Here we go block block your day off
because I had my journal and said journal all the time.
So I had my journal. They're like, you should write that,
you should make a book of your journal because it

(30:44):
was hilarious, like the way that I wrote about things,
but it would be so in depth but then also
have like my funny. They're like, this is amazing. I
was like, I know, do I have that for this season? No?
Because it was either journal, sleep, work out, and I
was always sleep every time. So okay, of course, have
you given your parents the lowdown now? Because you didn't

(31:05):
get back into the States until like a week ago.
And what I think is so crazy and I think
kind of wonderful about this season is that you guys
actually finished filming just a couple of days before it
started airing, and it's never been I wasn't back when
you weren't even back for the first day, so I
didn't even get to watch it on like actual television.

(31:26):
I watched like an old cut no way. Yeah, that's
so crazy. I loved it because it leaves us spoiler free.
I still don't know what happens in the end, and
oftentimes for like us especially, I can't avoid the spoilers.
I'm going to try my very hardest to not know
who you end up with or if you end up
with anyone. Yeah, but I'm very excited and I like

(31:47):
the way that this has happened for you, But is
it weird that you haven't gotten any break because you
have gone straight from filming too, straight to your season
airing and how little family time have you had? Um? So,
I from the end of my season, I went straight
to New York to start press, Like it did your
parents met there? No, I haven't talked. I haven't seen
my parents yet. And honestly, wait what she says, rub

(32:14):
it in like they're awful? Yeah, I'm like whatever, um,
But honestly, I I like it because I'm used to
this schedule of like go, go, go go, and I
think if I whenever I take a break, I'm gonna crash.
But right now I'm loving I'm like, here we go,
give me my go go juice. I'm up six am. Perfect.

(32:36):
That's like speaking in now, you know. So I've really
enjoyed it, and I think my excitement from and everything
so fresh that I can go and to press and
I can talk about it because it just happened to me.
It's not like I'm having to think back of like
what was that, Um, how did that feel? It's like
I have all those feelings still, and so I think

(32:57):
it's been really great for me. I love doing press,
I love talking to people about my season, and I
think I get to go home in a few days
for a little while, but not for long. And I'm
okay with that because they're gonna want to know everything.
And I haven't told really anybody about the end of
my season. My parents kind of no, but not everything,

(33:19):
like like know who possibly, but they don't know like
how you got to that. They don't know really anything. Um,
and my friends, I've just told them. I just they
keep texting me and I'm like, I can't talk so busy,
I love you. And then they can see, oh wait,
she really is busy. But I just need time to
like decompressed myself first, and then they can watch that

(33:40):
seasons and then the whole season and the yeah explain
along the way of like, hey, this is what happened.
But I just I don't want to do that. I
want this. I want everybody to be surprised. I don't
want somebody to slip up and say something. I want
people to see my season the way that it kind
of happened for me. So all right, yeah, just do
a week by week. My last serious question, because I

(34:14):
think we usually go and reverse. We do the fun
stuff first, but we kind of just jumped right into
it since you are like in the depths already. Um,
what was like talk about that big realization that you had.
We've talked about it before. I think Demi helped you
get to that point, but it was the home It's
basically what taking the crown off symbolizes. You have like

(34:36):
that entire that amazing preview for your season about like
how like you stripped yourself of like that pageant queen
um persona, and then you're just like, this is me.
I Am just going to be true to myself. I
don't care what people think anymore, So like tell us
about how that happened and how it has progressed over
your Bachelor seasons. Well, it's first about the premier. Like

(34:59):
I'm so I was floored because that day I was like,
there's no way I don't understand this. I just like
a princess. And then when I finally watched it, I
was like, all right, that was amazing. It was the
coolest thing I've ever seen. You were Taylor Swift in
a music video. It was Yeah, I had I feel
like I have my own movie trailer. But even without

(35:22):
all that, I feel like they really did hit the
nail on the head of like the music, the how
how everything was put together, like everything and about just
like who I am, And I feel like it kind
of goes back to even like my relationships of I
let other people kind of I realized what people liked

(35:44):
about me and like what worked, and so I would
be that person in relationship in a room, um, for
an audience. But the thing is people always know a
little bit that something maybe off. Everybody was always like, oh,
she's great, she's this, But like I was always playing
for a crowd and not being completely myself because I

(36:08):
didn't know how people would actually respond or like who
I am, because they really like the person that I crafted,
but I didn't know if they would actually like me.
And um, I feel like I I always everybody talks
about my smile. It's like almost like creepy hall A
smile all the time. But I've always so genuine always
and it's not fake. But when I really was hurting

(36:31):
or upset, it's almost just like natural to have a smile,
and so nobody ever would ask like are you okay
or what's going on? Because it was just oh my god,
you seem so happy, and so I just kind of
lived in that for a while and it really took
me going through a depression anxiety stuff that I started
being like, Okay, what in my life is making me

(36:55):
feel this way? Who are the people in my life
that don't help? Who? Who do? Who encouraged me? And
really kind of I mean, I've always been my faith
has always been important to me, but really just like
gave it all up because I tried to control everything.
And then from there I took time off being and pageants.
And then when I won Miss Alabama USA, I was

(37:18):
completely myself for the first time ever, and like I was,
I was getting inside. I was like, like, Canna, you
could win. I was like, I'm already fourth throwner. This
is awesome. Like I just went on the stage and
like was was myself and I feel like once I
went again, it was so easy for me to go
back into Oh people were telling me to do this,
people were telling me to do that, And it wasn't

(37:39):
as bad as it had been before, but I still
let a lot of things. I lived twenty two years
in my life that way, so people telling me what
I should and shouldn't do for something that I wanted.
I allowed that to kind of affect me, and Miss
USA was great for me, like pageants. I'm so thankful
for them, but it did. Pageants on top of relationships

(38:04):
the people I had in my life, it did really
cause me to find my worth and recognition and what
accolades I had because it had been successful and then
I wasn't successful, so then I felt like I wasn't
worthy and then I was like, oh I got something, Okay,
now I'm worthy again, you know, And then it's like

(38:26):
you can't live your life that way. You just can't
live your life that way because there's always gonna be
somebody better than you. There's always gonna be um times
where you fail it doesn't work out, and then you're
gonna have times where you're successful. But like you, I
have no control of that, Like I can only be
the best that I can be and be completely myself
because when you win or when you have something and

(38:49):
then you're like I got that, but it doesn't feel
right because did I win or did my persona that
I put together win or get and I inc It
took losing everything that I thought my life was gonna be,
which was the badget, which was married, babies with my friends.

(39:11):
I wanted to win Miss Alabama USA three years before
I ever did. When I won that, it was like
I was excited, but I also was like, this is
not where I want to be. I wanted this three
years ago. I want to be engaged, I want to
be with how all my friends are. And then when
I realized, you know what, this is exactly where I'm
supposed to be. I started my breakthrough um and then

(39:35):
realized being Miss Alba. Like when I got Miss Albama
USA and it didn't still feel like I thought it
would feel. It was like, oh, it's because my worth
is not come from recognition. It's like that doesn't make
me feel I got the thing that I wanted for
years and years, but it still doesn't make me feel better.

(39:57):
And so it took me getting it to be like,
oh wait, this is actually not satisfying. So that was
really when I started like working on myself. Didn't have
a relationship, didn't everything that I wanted didn't have anymore.
And then I had the thing that I wanted and
it didn't feel like I thought it was going to be,
and I was like, Okay, this is starting to make sense.
So then I just really like started focusing on what

(40:21):
do who am I? Because I don't think I knew
And it was it was hard, Like there were days
where I was like crying in my bed, like how
have I lived my life like this all along? But
then it was then I started going back into the
world and just being like, you don't like this and
I don't really care, like I want the people that
are around me that loved me, loved me, and those

(40:41):
are the people I want to be around. So so
that continued, and the progression that you had happened a
lot on the show too, happened a lot on the show. Um,
just like I said, going back when I was when
Miss v Musa got into Miss U s A, I
still kind of went back into that rut for like
a little bit, kind of leaned into it because it's

(41:03):
all I knew of like other people telling me what
to do. Same thing when I got into The Bachelor
the first couple of weeks, the first couple of weeks,
I started like going back into my shell, like oh
my gosh. First with the first date with Colton, it
was like, oh, I like him, but I don't even
know what to say. Who am I do? I want
to show him like the real me or the one
that I think he'll actually like better. And then I
was like in this like middle ground of like paralyzed, um.

(41:27):
And you know, I've had so much people thinking I'm
a dummy. Can articulate myself? Um awkward and yeah, like
I was in those moments, but I can't articulate myself.
I am intelligent these Um. That was just a moment
for me, and it was a real moment and it
was entertaining for other people, but it was really hard

(41:48):
for me to realize, like I don't know who I
want to be right now. And then after that it
was like, Okay, I'm just gonna have to let go
and see how people respond. And honestly, it doesn't really
matter because this is my real life and I need
to live my real life right now, regardless of what's

(42:09):
about to be shown in a few months, Like this
is my time to keep exploring who I am. And
I'm really proud of even that for me, because I
did grow so much and ultimately allowed me to be here.
It was that realness that did crown you as the Bachelorette.
Then you have crowned with something else. Did you have
like a moment there where you hesitated? You're like, nope,

(42:31):
I've seen how being real gets me further. I think
because I have been the producers and the people of
the Bachelor, I believe in me so much and really
invested in me. Anytime I ever tried to do that,
they were like, what are you doing? I'm like, you're right,
so not really, But I had people, like I said,

(42:52):
I peet the people in my life that loved the
real me, the real Hannah, and that will encourage me
and regardless of what anybody thinks in the show, like,
they want my happiness first, and they want this to
be my story and so I think that it was
really um but uh, That's why I knew I wanted

(43:14):
to be the Bachelor and could be the Bachelor, because
I knew I had people on my team that we're
going to allow it to be my story in me awesome.
You said that you basically created a person for twenty
two years of your life. Who is that person that
you created and who is the person that you really are? Um? Like,
I mean even like in high school and stuff, like

(43:35):
I was the the miss perfect Like I didn't. I
didn't go out, I didn't get I would have fun,
but not too much fun. I always had a man
on my by my side, and except when you were
awkward and yeah, but but that would be I was
folks when I was awkward in high school folks, not

(43:57):
with guys. I was focused on literally I thought if
I didn't have a ninety fiber above that, like life
was going to be like an end all. Like I
was very um focused on my like my academia. I
um just pushed myself in that way. I danced and

(44:17):
even though I didn't even really like dancing, was also
one of those things that like hurt my self esteem.
My mom wanted me to do it. Um, everybody told
me we were the dancer. So I continue to do
it and like not just like have a dance class.
Weate once or twice. You know. It was like fifteen
hours a week. Um that's just in the week, not
with weekends like after school and then I would stay

(44:40):
up till one am to do my homework so that
I made sure I got a hundred on it. Like,
I just pushed myself, kept myself so busy and it
looked like I had everything figured out and didn't let
guys or parties or anything like get blur my vision
of my path. And then started dating and then it
was like this person, whatever they want from me, Like

(45:02):
I can be that misstepford wife for them and do
all this because I can be a trophy wife. So
then I did that for a while, and then it
was oh, well she's sip, and then through that like,
oh she's the pageant queen. Oh she's so sweet, she's
this and that, and like, no, am I always sweet? No,
I'm not. Like I have a good heart and I
know that, but I would not show my frustration. I

(45:24):
would not show my real feelings. And it was just
I was somebody that everybody could easily understand and take,
not really myself, which is not always easy to understand
or take because I don't even understand myself sometimes. She's
sweet is a word that has got me a lot,
like I granted me a lot actually through the bachelor process,

(45:47):
because I've always felt like the girls that come across
as just sweet, they're sweet. Um, they're the ones that
always really good, but they're really holding back. And the
ones that are a little bit more like you and
I um where we have our moments or people aren't
gonna like like us or what we say. We have
our freak outs. We don't always come across as sweet.

(46:10):
We're just being real, but we're sometimes not villainized, but
like disliked at times. And you don't know, it's just
like the girls who hold back get the better look better.
It was really hard for me because I was like
I was being my like completely myself, and everybody was
having those freakouts. They just did it in the bathroom
for a second and came back out. But it's like

(46:32):
kind of like I said, like it's my real life.
I'm not I'm not an actress, this is reality TV.
And I was, and I was not going to allow
myself to tap back into that person that really calls
me a lot of sadness and emptiness just so that

(46:53):
I could be the sweet girl on TV that I
knew I could have been. I mean, that's where I
struggled a lot in that first UM one on one
with Alton, because I was like, I know what I
could do that would keep me safe, but I also
am not that and I don't know what to do,
and you know, regardless of all the main things that
have been said, the things that people think that I am,
that I'm not, people that I'll never went over just

(47:16):
because they just want to hate me. I'm so thankful
that I was my real self, Like that's why I grew.
And I don't know if everybody grows the way that
I did through the process. I'm not going to try
to get gossip or anything, but I'm going to for
a second. Um, Kalin and you are probably those people

(47:36):
that will never see I to I are probably never
gonna be best friends. She posted a picture on your
premier day that said eating the chip off my shoulder?
Do you think that was a dig I didn't know.
Uh oh, I didn't. I mean, um, I don't know.
We can Um wow, I don't know. I just not know.

(48:00):
I don't have no idea. But you know what, I
don't you know, at this point, it's like who cares
in a way like whatever she says, like, I'm like,
I truly am like wish her the best, and if
she wishes me the best, great, If she doesn't, it's
okay because at this point we were in a we
were we don't have to be together or we can,

(48:23):
and I'm fine being a ring with her. I'm fine
not being in a ring with her, Like I don't
really hold anything against her anymore, and I hope she
doesn't with me, Like we're good and this was you know,
I don't know, it's weird, weird, Okay, So let's get
into your guys now. You I think you kiss more

(48:43):
guy when you're like between forty eight hours of being
the batchel right than you ever had in your life.
Yeahs or was at night one uh night when I
kissed three guys we saw them, we saw kisses um
and then yeah, in forty hour definitely. Um. I mean
it would be so funny. They'd be like, all right,

(49:04):
you know you're up to twelve and I'd be like,
oh my goodness, And how many was it before you
were the Bachelorrette? I think like five or six? Think six,
I think that's what I was at. Yeah, and it was,
I mean most of them were my boyfriend or yeah,
I think I only kissed like one guy that wasn't
my boyfriend, but we were like talking, Yeah, well you

(49:30):
feel like did you feel really weird? Yeah? At first,
I was like it was hard for me honestly because
I would have momutes so like, oh my god, I
can't believe I kissed them. Did you kiss guys that
you didn't really want to kiss? Like they just kind
of went in for um. Yeah, I feel like that's
kind of the hardest part. That's the hardest part because like,

(49:51):
you're you have to be in a relationship with multiple people,
and sometimes you're not feeling some of the people there
as much as you're feeling another person, but you're you
are technically dating them, and so it's really it was
hard sometimes. But you can kind of tell the difference

(50:12):
of my kisses when I'm really feeling somebody and when
I'm not. If you're like, yeah, the kiss with Luke
p on night one was intense. It was really intense,
but it was good. My sister and are watching you. Guys.
Those aren't the kisses you have once you're in a relationship.
Enjoy them out the guy. Your guys got a lot
of flak, especially when they're green pictures came out. You

(50:35):
weren't even around. You weren't even around. Your guys got
a lot of flak during your first week of filming,
so you weren't around for social media, but everybody's looking
at their pictures and like, oh my goodness, these guys
don't look like bachelorette material. These guys look like I
kept saying, like they picked thirty guys that were in

(50:55):
line for a hot dog at a football game. But
then we saw their great picture and they looked better.
And then on night one they looked better. But I
still was like, I don't know about this bunch they
got For Hannah. I was like, I really don't know.
There's like a good three or four in there. How
did you honestly feel After Chris said, Hannah, those are

(51:15):
all your guys, I went, I mean, I went, I
didn't realize it had been thirty guys. I was having
the most fun. Oh my god, it was so fun.
The lima entrances, like I didn't realize, and so I
was like, oh, wait, that's it, that's what I said.
I was like, oh, that's them, okay, And honestly, I

(51:37):
had to let it go. But I didn't really like
a lot of their fashion, and that was the first
thing I would notice. I was like, that's what really.
I was like, Okay, their faces are cute, but like
they have some serious fashion issues. I'm not even a
fashion girl, Like I don't get like, I don't I
don't understand like being obsessed with it, but I've noticed

(51:58):
that it was bad. It was bad. I was like,
why can't every guy just wear like a nice dark
blue suit or a black suit with a black tie,
or a blue tie, blue gray tie. They were all
trying to be wacky with their fashion, and their faces
weren't looking that great in them. And then episode two
came around and I was like, these guys in their
casual clothes without their hair ridiculously dye, it looks so

(52:21):
much better. Trust me. I felt the same way like
the first night. I was a little bit like, Okay,
a guy's outfit can really change the way his face. Yeah,
so it did. It was like a butt his face.
But but in the opposite way, I was like, oh
my god, what I need to help them so much,

(52:43):
but like this is them and like, oh this is scary.
But then after we started having dates and I was like, Okay,
all right, I can deal with this. This is good.
This is good. But ultimately, like, yeah, there was some
that I was like, huh, interesting, But I will say,
like I want an attractive guy. I want them to
be attractive, but I am okay with Like, they don't

(53:09):
have to be like a supermodel or anythink, like, I
just want them to have a good heart and be fun.
And so I think that was a lot of my
guys too, but it did. It was more of like
a growing too be attracted to some of them truthfully interesting. Yeah,
I like your honest. Yeah, I can't help it, Like
I'm like, I probably shouldn't say that, but I can't
help it, Like I don't know how to not be

(53:29):
honest about certain things. So yeah, the first night, I
was a little bit worried. Yeah, second night, I felt
so much better. Yeah, me, I felt better. I was like, Okay,
they look cute in their normal clathes. You don't like
guys that have necessarily a sense of mystery. You don't
like hard to get. We don't have to watch you

(53:49):
too much to know that you like a guy who
is aggressive and forthcoming about his feelings. Yeah, so how
do you You didn't think that Luke p was a
little bit too early with his feelings because you had
the biggest grin. You loved hearing every word of what
he was saying to you. Early on, within forty hours
of really knowing you. Um, do you think that you've

(54:11):
gotten like less naive throughout this process or do you
are you just like somebody who wants to hear those works? Okay?
I feel like with Luke, especially those first that that
first night, I think it kind of went back to
my past of the guy that I dated for forever.

(54:32):
I didn't know how he was feeling a lot. He
was mysterious and it hooked me, hooked mine and sinker
for a while. Then I dated the next guy that
I was really that I did love, and he was
more like I want to pursue you. I know it
hasn't been that long since your last relationship. I don't
care like I want to pursue you in that relationship
for me and like he was very like our faith aligned. Um,

(54:56):
that was a relationship that I realized, Okay, there are
guys like this out there that don't like beating around
the bush about their intentions, Like I want to know
somebody's here for me. And that was like what I
learned from that relationship from my that could be like
something that I wanted. And I feel like when Luke
was just like, hey, this is how I feel about you,
I'm really into you. I was into him, and I

(55:17):
liked that he was just like, look like, I like you.
I'm here for you. If it was if there was
anybody else here, I wouldn't be here. And I wanted
to know that. And I think also it came from
some insecurity of I wasn't. I feel like I was
a dark horse as a bachelorette, and so to know
that somebody truly wanted it to be me was like

(55:40):
almost like a sigh of relief of like, Okay, this
person really and one thousand percent that is that was
true about Luke like he it was. It was a lot,
but like he meant every word he was saying, and yeah,
I just it gave me hope for the rest of
the season. I feel like of like, okay, like this

(56:01):
could work. Um and like the first night they didn't
show it as much, but we really did talk about
like our faith a lot, and that was like the
one of the biggest thing that I needed to know
first and foremost that there was somebody that there that
had the same ideas and um faith that I did.
So that was like another thing. I was like, okay,

(56:23):
and then he just like was adamant about like making
coming up to me and talking to me, and I
want that. I don't want somebody to sit in a
corner and by the meatballs and be like whatever, you know,
like I want to be like, no, you're freaking hear
from me. I want to know. So I think, I know,

(56:44):
I think I need a good mixture. But I ultimately
think it came from a few insecurities of not knowing
if these guys really were here for me or we're
hoping it was somebody else. Because after the Final Rose,
they were already there before I was announced. That's right,
that's right. So you're not you weren't sure well they
or not these guys were going to be happy that

(57:05):
you because they're already sitting in the hotel room waiting
to hear who they're bout. They were signed up regardless,
So yes, so they were signed up regardless. And so
to have somebody like Luke be like if it was ant, like,
I'm so pumped, Like it was really great. And I
as soon as I saw him after the final Rose,
it was like, who do you like? I was like,

(57:26):
I mean, they were, they were all awesome, but I
was there was just something about Luke that I was
really excited to see, so yeah, all right, yeah, and
you all start so physically attracted to him, like right
off the back in episode two we see you shirtless,
he's shirtless, um, and I feel like I feel it.
I feel like this is probably a moment that you

(57:47):
were not looking forward to having to watch back. Well,
it depends it goes, but it was. You know, I
blushed a little bit when I watched it. I'm like, I, oh, my,
say this because you got caught by Jed, and I
think that you probably were like, oh man, when I
did this, I didn't think I was going to be
caught by anyone. That was probably the oh. I got

(58:12):
lit after that, and I was like, why did this
just happen? I really liked Luke, I really like Jed,
and I was like, that's not okay. It looks like
it was something more than it was, like this is
not cool, and I was like, don't mess with my guys, like,
don't mess with him. And but then Jed handled it
like a freaking rock star, like amazing, amazing, yeah, so adorable.

(58:37):
He's like, I guess it's really crazy. How many guys
are you know, I'm fighting with you. Yeah, yeah, so
it was that was that was a really hard moment
for me, like, oh so mad, so basically that you're

(59:00):
going to have to come back again right now as
we've seen it, Luke is a front runner. Um, I
feel who do you feel like? You're my front runners?
I feel like I really like Peter, I like Connor
s and I like Jed. Those are my three favorites

(59:22):
for you. I think everybody it was was not shocked,
but but sad to see Matt Donald go on Night one.
Can you believe how much attention that got? Fund to
like grocery store Joe, but like, let's be real, He's
not grocery He's not grocery store drive. And everybody's been
giving me heck about that. But I want to say

(59:43):
I got really excited about the tractor. I was like
if somebody I had said before, somebody comes out in
a tractor and I got I got a farmer, hot,
sexy country boy um all in and then I see him,
I'm like, oh my god, I think your tractor sexy.
And then come to found out he had never been
on a tractor and didn't have a farm, and I

(01:00:05):
was like, what other lives? Are you going to tell
me through this thing? So that was the reason. But
then he's so like when I was watching the episode back,
like such a sweet guy, just not my guy, you know.
The same with Chason, Like okay, so Chason was the
other one eliminated. Note when I was like, why did you?
Why did you eliminate those two because they seem to
have potential, but they did. Um, there's a lot of stuff,

(01:00:27):
you know. It's ultimately the first night is really hard
to decide because I don't know these jokers, Like, I
have no idea, I don't I don't know. I'm just
trying to just guessing at first. Big thing that got
a lot of attention Night one is the fact that
Luke didn't give you his jacket. Did he say I

(01:00:49):
thought that you didn't want to ruin your outfit with
his ugly jacket. Well, he did have a box. He
wore a square jacket. But also it's about a nuity.
I'll just be honest, like they need to have their
jacket on and I need to be in my pretty dress.
And so even though I was freezing, they're not really
allowed to give me their jackets because they need to

(01:01:10):
look fresh. Did he offer He did offer it like
fourteen times every guy offered me because I mean, I
guess you can't tell as much, but I'm literally like
shivering in every conversation, and they were like, I feel
so bad, I'm so sorry. But that was the one
they showed. Maybe I like, I'm cold. He did offer
me his jacket. I just said, your jacket is really
gonna miss at my outfit. Um okay, So I I

(01:01:33):
want to go back to those guys. Those four guys
are ones that I really feel strongly for, um strongly
four on behalf of you. I also really like Tyler G.
Tyler Tyler G looks more like Jared than I ever thought.
So weird. The bone structure is so weird, jawliney, yeah,

(01:01:53):
and the eye shape is so weird. But he would
talk about undercover. I didn't notice him until your first
day with him, um cutie. Yeah, he's really cute and
I really enjoyed my time with him. Um yeah, okay,
and I think everybody likes Everybody looked at those pictures initially,
and the first night everybody was talking about Tyler. See,

(01:02:15):
he looks like an f boy. He looks like you know,
he looks like that. So I'll say he didn't talk
to me the first night, and I was like, okay,
he's good looking. And then when he didn't talk to
me the first night, I was like, oh, you're on
my freaking radar. But I was like, night, well, I
didn't talk to eight guys. Oh my goodness. Yeah, that's
the most that's ever talked to talk to you. Because

(01:02:38):
when I'm in a conversation obviously, like now, I'm like,
I wasn't doing the whole thing, like what's your favorite color?
I was like invested. I'm very invested. When I'm in
a conversation with somebody, I want them to feel comfortable.
And it was all about for me the first night
making them feel comfortable because I felt comfortable. And so yeah,
I talked to the guys longer, and um, it was just, uh, yeah,

(01:03:03):
we just ran out of time. Ill said a really
funny story, Scott is really funny story time, and then
we're gonna have to wrap it up. I should think
I should tell her about Marcus. I think so too.
You're gonna love so Another reason why um, I got
y'areing about to love this is this hilarious okay. So

(01:03:24):
another reason why it took me so long, um was
because I had to get touch ups a lot because
I was on accurated. Well, my nose always is red
after every kiss or just one every every time, just
for everything, so my nose for sure. But I was
on accutane, i'ld talked very openly about mable you, thank you,
and it had it was great, it it was amazing. Well,

(01:03:47):
of course my first night, I start growing a bump
on my face and it was really small and then
like it's fine, like it'll cover up, and I'll say, Okay,
this freaking joker grew row at an astronomical rate throughout
the night. So we named it Marcus. Okay, and Marcus

(01:04:07):
w While we named it Marcus is because when before
I knew all the guys we would like talk about
like scenarios, and Marcus was the guy that, like you
didn't like that wind and go away, That was like
the annoying guy. There was Marcus and Mikey, and you
didn't want to be Marcus or Mikey. But these aren't
real guys. These aren't real guys. These were just like
before I knew the guy's names or whatever, we would
like be talking about scenarios and it was like Marcus

(01:04:30):
and Mikey, so like Marcus would be the gun that
did this. So when my z came, we named it Marcus. Okay,
so this thing it literally you can't even see it.
It grew and grew and grew, and it was like, Marcus,
go away. So after I sent Scott home or I

(01:04:54):
let him out, I went back to the room. I
mean I went back and I was like, you have
to park, you have to powder mark mark. It's like
he is going out of control right now. He's white.
Now he wasn't white. Why is he white? Can I
pop them know? Because he will bleed. It was terrible,
So I'm talking about Marcus. After I left Scott and
I walked back in the room and I went, well,
Marcus is a piece of to all the guys instead

(01:05:17):
of Scott, and I hear my producer and I just
started talking and they're all they all had this really
weird look on their face because I didn't even catch it,
and I had my producer go it's Scott and I
was like, I was like, or Scott whatever, his name
is irrelevant. So I yelled Marcus. I yelled Marcus to

(01:05:42):
all the guys, and then for weeks on people would
be like, yeah, he was Marcus, and I'd be like,
it doesn't matter. So I called Scott the name of
my zip, which actually made sense. He's a Pussy Girls
sky but yeah. So it was so funny. When I
got home that thing was ready to go. It was incredible,

(01:06:02):
but I was so up sad. I was like, of
course the night that was so important to me, I
haven't had acne and forever, Like I was like, this
is my moment, that's how it happens. I had this
huge Marcus that start forming. I used to have assist
that would just blow up every time. I'd be like,
I have to text him, I'm gonna text him'm going
to see him, and then i'd call it like his name. Yeahah,

(01:06:25):
it's like, oh it's the something's it um. But yeah,
I was really really flattered. When they asked me if
there was somebody to inject your sip that day. Yeah,
it was like, I'm so glad I could hook her
up with an injector, even though you didn't see that person,
but it's all good. I felt flattered. Actually helped me
marlp you on your big first week anyway. Okay, I

(01:06:45):

run to, but Hannah, this has been the most incredible.
