yeah yeah okay what about you blake i mean we've all heard of the bachelor and bachelorette but what was your journey to that show

Yeah, mine was a little bit different, obviously, because the show was around, you know, for so long and everybody knew about it and everything.

I was season 14 of Just the Bachelorette and there was like 20 of The Bachelor by the time I went on.

So my show definitely wasn't new, but I also, I had gone through like kind of a pretty nasty breakup and...

Uh, my mom and sister had wanted me on the show forever.

They were like, yeah.

And I was always like, no, a bunch of douchebags, you know, a bunch of losers, you know what I mean? And not look at me now.

Yeah.

But where was your thought process in terms of actually meeting somebody on this show?

Yeah, no, great question, 'cause, like, yeah, I was, I was the same boat.

Obviously, like, yeah, had a horrible experience and I was very close to saying no to All Star Shore because, again, I was still like I just don't trust the soul kind of vibe, and I was like, I, I, I don't know if I can do this.

And they, they explained to me, they were like, and I didn't know this, and I think a lot of people don't know, but when there is money on the line it is literally against the law for them to manipulate you.

Um, it went, like, all the way to the Supreme Court and, and Congress and everything, like they cannot manipulate.

They can literally go to jail, and that changed everything for me.

I was like, oh, like, you can't manipulate me 'cause there's money on the line 'cause you can't have, like, your favorite contestant win as a producer.

[laughs]

From the

shows and past relationships.

For me, I mean, the biggest thing, it's so cliche, but it's the communication.

Like I think, and I talked about a lot when I was a bachelorette.

I come from a family and even just like a culture, my friends and stuff.

we would just brush everything under the rug.

Like we kind of wouldn't really talk about a lot of things.

you guys? Are you working all the time? Are you flying out every month to DJ? Is it every week?
