But,

I mean, again, you, like, take risks and that.

And, you know, Bachelor has had its struggles.

So they have to, like, you know, you have to.

Also, I think it's huge.

They're competing with so many shows now.

There's all these shows that are just doing insane numbers.

they should almost do like a one-day blackout or something so you can actually watch it.

Yeah

... like, that she and her ex and her kids are going through, and then to be on such a public, like, everyone in your business and everyone...

I, I don't know.

It's just, like, it makes me kinda sad for her.

Yeah

...

the ...

I don't know.

Which one did you like doing better?

It's so hard because like on The Bachelor, I feel like I met all my friends and like it was more for me personally about like the friendships and like building those.

And then like Paradise, you actually went there and like dated around and like, you know, like it just felt more like natural.

Bachelor's like more

I'll try to

alter it.

Lots of traveling for me.

I was just in Montana, which was beautiful.

And then, yeah.

Um, lots of traveling for me.

Um, I was just in Montana, which was beautiful.

Um, going home a lot, just taking in summer.

Summer's, like, my favorite 'cause I feel like I'm just all over the place.

Yeah.

And she was like, "Oh, like your pregnant bump," or something, and she's like, "Your pregnant bump." And sh- and the girl, the other girl was not pregnant.

So explain what happened.

Um, I don't even know.

Okay, so we were all in the hot tub, and then we were playing truth or dare, and I feel like that's when everything got like crazy, is when we started playing that game.

Um, but I think someone asked me, they were like, "Okay, like if you had to make out with anyone in here, who would you choose?" And obviously I'm not gonna say like...

Like everyone was taken, you know what I'm saying? So I was like, "Marciano."

Literally.

Literally.

So, um, yeah, then we, yeah, just had a, had the rest of the night and we were just like together.

I

think that's my least favorite thing about dating like today is because social media is so in the center of our world and Google and all these things that like you, and especially like you said, us being on TV, we're really easy to find.

And before, and I'm, I do this too.

I will say like, I am the type of girl before a date.

I'm like looking at your social media.

Like, you know, like I've definitely been that girl.

So like, going on blind dates.

What about you Mercedes?

What about you, Mercedes?

Oh, my gosh.

I feel like there's so many, but one that lives right in front of my head, and it's because it made the bloopers.

If it didn't make the bloopers, I probably would be like, oh, that was so fun, but it wouldn't live right in front of my head.

So basically, and you guys can attest to the relationship with the women.

It is... friendships that you can't even describe because you're in a situation together and you just get so close so fast.

But obviously, you know, you're being filmed, but we had one night where I feel like we all just completely forgot there was cameras around.

girls i could i could use a solid lesson

Zero.

Um, I don't know.

I feel like sometimes like my body language, you can tell if I'm like someone else could come in the conversation.

Like maybe it's like, it's awkward.

I don't know.

So I don't know.

Maybe just like my body language.

Yeah.

but then also like I'm on a blind

date so I have to like figure out how to do it I don't know I hope he's like just cause Zach's gonna be there too so like I hope like we can be like in a group setting too and like all hang out and see how he like just jumps in with my friend group and how everything works but obviously I'm gonna like have like make sure he feels like welcome and seen so I don't know I'm just gonna have to like figure it out in the moment I think

Puerto Rican and she's a little sassy.

Yes.

And she, yeah, she's, yeah, she's sassy.

And, but she also like, I don't know, like she's always like telling me like Mercedes, you're not good enough.

You're not, you're not good enough.

They're not good enough.

How was it visiting Salem?

Honestly, it was fun because I was with him, but I would never go back.

It was so touristy.

I felt like in like a pack of sardines.

It was like shoulder to shoulder.

And also like all the museums and stuff, they sell out really quick.

So we couldn't do anything like that.

So what did he do differently? What conversations did you guys have together that felt that made you feel like, Hey, I want to see you again.
