Clean?

Great and fantastic, Joe and sarraighta good to see you guys, and thanks for having me out today.

Amazing, thanks for coming.

Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Okay, before we jump into this episode, well two parts. We want to know how you got on the show and how in the world you're friends with someone like Aaron.

Klanton, who we love. He's just joking, Oh my.

Gosh, that's a great two part question because he actually he actually had no part in my casting. So I was actually at home with my parents playing domand Ellis for Christmas last year.

And I'll tell you this too, but yeah, played Dominos and o Sid.

I get this text that I was nominated for one of the casting managers, and I look at my peone and I'm like, who could have nominate me? So I go through this whole thing and one of my best friends he's actually roommates right over here with with Aaron and one of my old co workers too, and I was like, okay, this is interesting. I guess I have no choice now, but I'm so glad that. Yeah, it was just such a surprise.

Well so you didn't know, so you didn't know he was nominating you.

No, No, So he asked for pictures one day, and I think that's what it was.

So it was definitely what it was.

Yeah, you got like a birthday coming up that all of a sudden those are going to emerge.

At I know, No, my birthday was two months ago, so I think they got me a stealthily.

So they got they got some kind of royalties to this.

Why why like why do you think he nominated you?

You know what?

I think he He's known like a few of my relationships here at San Diego. Plus you know, he's also best friends with clients as well, and I think he was like, yeah, like Eric going, hey, you're a renaissance man.

You could play the piano, you know, you can paint other stop, go ahead the show yourself.

I'm always so closed off, so this was a great way to just like kind of step out.

Yeah, he kind of threw me to deep end, but here we are, okay.

Yeah, No, and I think you're someone perfect for the show.

Were you familiar with the show.

I mean I was assumerre familiar with the show, but like, had you watched it before?

Did you go in totally blind?

Yeah, definitely watched a good bit of it. So I watched Michelle season and I watched a few with James and Aaron as well, Big Facts, So that way right to paradise.

I was just talking more.

About watching The Bachelorette with Aaron the season, so it'll get some more at it.

That's nice.

I'm sure to have him to be able to like, I don't know, like bounce ideas off of ask for for advice, watch the show back with a buddy, Like it's probably comforting to have someone else so close that's also gone through other than the guys from your season obviously.

Yeah, it totally is like, you know, when you come back from this experience and you have to talk to someone about it, it's like you gotta color limit we you know, keep the information out too, because this is such an unconventional process that not that people understand. So it definitely is nice to have plancy. You know, Kuy's like James too, just like telling me and keeping me sane as well. But it was definitely the overall grated stare. So I'm glad that in my corner.

Okay, nice, So let's let's get in. Let's get into it. You get out of the limo, you first get there, what are your thoughts when you finally see Charity in person?

Man? I, first of all, I didn't know it's gonna be first out of the limo. Uh. Second of all, you.

Were you were you were dad first out of limo, because sometimes they rearrange that when they you were first. Okay nice?

Yeah, yeah, So sitting in a limo and I'm just like, hearts beating crazily. I had like two shots of or two glasses of champagne, and I walk out. I look at her and I'm like, holy grap, Like she is literally like perfect, you know, the toil, those things where it's surreal until it happens. So I was just walking up to her and I was like, holy crap, like she's moving like a Disney pricesvice. And I'm pretty sure I said that, but it was a there's nothing that you could prepare for, And I thought I was going to.

Get everything else going to say, but yeah, uh no, I did it.

Yeah. I think I think you are some one of the guys night one that made a really good first impression, and you talked about potentially getting the first impression Rose and I, you know, I don't think that was sideways like I think you were.

No, I think viewers would have felt that also. I think we had even said like, oh, yeah, they seem to have a good connection.

You know, maybe he'll get the first impression.

Rose.

So when you didn't get the first impression ROAs not that you didn't no, but that you didn't get the first impression Rose, were you were you shocked by that?

Yeah, you know, definitely shocked.

I was, you know, looking around at the guys and I respect everybody, and there's a lot that other guys had to offer.

Two.

Yeah, you know, I was definitely trying to make an impression. The piano came out, I messed up because there was a couple of sham bang glasses nearby.

So I was just trying to my best foot out there.

And you know, while I was at the bar talking to me and Maya and Radio was kind of like talking and if I'm getting ahead of myself, let me know. But he was like kind of kissing in Tell and that kind of threw me off a little bit, and when he got the first.

Impression rose over me. That makes sense.

So I was definitely shocked due to the fact that I played piano, and also he was just kissing at talent House.

Not okay, But now watching it back, like, did you watch that first episode back?

I did? Yes.

Does it make sense to you now? Are you still questioning that decision she made?

You know what?

It makes sense to me now. I've always respected Charity's decision, you know, whether they were confusing or not, because I think they all made sense. And I see now that you know, he had a huge spark with her, like I mean, he went, you know, balls deep, so to speak, really just kind of made the everlasting mark of her. So I see why she gave it to him, and you know, I respect it as well. But yeah, I definitely thought that my relationship, my piano skills weren't good enough at that time, so I was kind of shocked.

Well, the good thing is she's not taking a husband based on piano scales, so you're like, I've still got something in the run in here.

If it was the piano, it's gonna.

Be okay, thank god.

Before we're we're gonna get to this week's episode, but before we do, what was your relationship with Brandon, Like, up until this week's episode, were you guys boys? Because he was on this podcast and did kind of insinuate that you guys wore close until something shocking happened, and we obviously see that this week.

Yeah, brand and I we actually we actually sat next to each other in a limo, so we were talking it up.

We were both from San Diego.

Stuff was looking good, you know, and wanted to hang out after as well. It just kind of rubbed me the wrong way, like how things happened on night one with the kissing and Telly and you know, saying I'm getting the first impression Roles, et cetera. So yeah, like took me back a little bit. But he was still someone that was cool for sure.

So a lot of it, it sounds like, came from more his relationship with Charity and the way he was talking about it with you guys versus you and Brandon just like not getting along in terms of like your personalities.

Yeah, exactly, Like Brandon and I, like we're not two peas in the pod, but we can definitely gel and it's something that we found very early on with our relationship. But yeah, it was really just like how your tree charity, her role also the connection that I felt like I formed night wide. I was holding that kind of close to myself and you know he was just kind of like throwing it out on the lawn and es me the wrong wing.

Know, all right, we'll get more into that. So you get you get the first one on one date of the season, right, Oh yeah, And that must.

Have felt so good after, you know, feeling like you were going to get that first some pressure rows. Probably the disappointment of not getting it and then hearing your name on that very first one on one.

Tell us about how that felt.

And what do you think what would you have rather gotten the first impressure rows or the first one on one?

Oh yeah, that's a good question too.

Oh well I want a Hudger Sam.

Yeah, you could think you could take that first impression rolls any day, bread, but I think you want like a million first impressure rows.

You could have them all, but yeah, that one I wanted.

I can't even tell you how important it was to just like, I mean, like there was like the time where we were just like driving on the highway, things like that, Like it was just a lot of stuff we were.

Able to cover.

Oh yeah, away from cameras too sometimes, So yeah, that was I felt very lucky.

I did say that, did you feel like, was that the first time? You're like, oh, I feel kind of comfortable right now because I don't have three guys with mics on and cameras and a producer in my face.

Yes, that was definitely first. I felt like there were goals.

Yeah, there were GoPros, but it wasn't anything like the speak your face.

Yeah, you definitely seemed like you shell a a little bit in the car, like you had a little bit more of a relaxed demeanor, which we can both relate to. It's such a shock when you first have that first night, and it's just nice to feel like you have a little bit of privacy, even if there's a go pro.

But how was that first date? I mean driving up to the.

Hollywood sign, it was beautiful outside, it looked amazing.

Yes, God, just the way she picked me up, I mean I was like, hey for the guys to see me go away. But honestly, Joe Serena, like that first day was just like truly magical. Like everything that we were able to do like a Hollywood side, touched the Hollywood side and just like share a moment up there, and also just like being able to feel comfortable enough with each other to start this thing off together as well, because there is still a lot of nerves going.

Into that day.

But the fact that we're able to be so comfortable in this beautiful setting, the Hollywood side, the La Theater at night, our names were on the marquet, like that was insane. Yeah, and yeah, that makes you feel good right away. I'm very grateful.

Is Charity. Is Charity your type or do you have a type?

You know? I don't really have a type, Joe. I really go off vibes.

And also, like I'm an intellect I like to talk more with someone that can keep up in a conversation about you know, just what makes you happy, what kind of drives you, just similarities and things like that too. I feel that opens things up for me and allows me to be comfortable with someone.

Did you did you feel that right away with Charity?

I totally did feel that with Charity made me feel comfortable night one and we started off with the banging.

Yeah, you guys seem to have really good conversation, and we did see kind of open up about your past and your dating history. Were you guys able to connect on a deeper level with both of your past relationships at the night.

Portion, Yes, we were, We were able to do so. I mean that's kind of what led the entire conversation. You know, we were both lucky to be there coupled with each other. But then, like the past, there's always some trauma there, so we wanted to definitely uncover that. And you know, she shared about her relationship six years infidelity. You know, I talked about my relationship four years at college and how I was just a friend, and yeah, we really connected there.

I wouldn't say trauma bonding.

It was more of like a more like a common ground and yeah, we were just able to listen to each other create that safe space.

So yeah, understanding what each other went through to an extent.

All right, So let's jump to this week's episode. You get called on the group day, Barbie, group Day, Let's talk about it. Let's talk about what what kind of can.

So I was the murmaid?

Yes? Yes, yes?

And how did you land on that costume?

You know what? I don't think I got it downright.

I thought that we were all just gonna, you know, pick some items and make your own kind of costume. I didn't really watch Barbie in the past, you know, obviously, but yeah, there were costumes lined up and I was looking at Michael Wall and he was like, where are you looking at I was like, I want that crown and that dog, and we went over there.

We spread it when I said go and I grabbed the crown of the dog.

But everyone had like full outfits, and I was like, WHOA, I guess I was supposed to grab an outfit. Look at the last outfit is murmur Ken. It looks skin tight, and I'm like, I'm going to lose circulation at some point today.

That's so funny. No, I loved the Barbie Day. I thought it was so entertaining.

I thought you guys were such good sports about it, and it looked like you guys genuinely leaned into it and had a really good time.

You said that when we were watching, You're like, this date is great.

It's just it just looked fun. I don't know. Usually I'm not into like.

The gimmicky dress of a performance dates, but like this one, just did it for me. How was it going from a one on one date to a group date.

Yeah, that's you definitely have to switch gears a little bit. I mean, you got so many guys like try to make these small impressions with Charity and you know, trying to make their remark at some point. But at the same time, I would have done that date with anyone else, you know. I mean I was literally hobbling from the hotel to the stage, and I think I was sore that day too, and the guys are just so supportive, like they helped me up a little bit too. But uh yeah, it's I definitely wish I still had that one on one energy. Yeah, because you do have to switch it off and see other guys. You form these connections with Charity, you know, some guys like kissed her all stage, and I was like, whoa, I thought I was the only one, you know, obviously that's all I could think of, and I see it, but yeah, it's weird.

So once you see it, like you kind of see that for the first time, now, do you feel yourself getting worried, losing a little bit of confidence?

Yeah, so when you see someone else, you know, smooth your woman. I mean, you definitely don't want to see it, but I think my confidence was still there. Like those special moments and I one on one were so strong to the point where like I just put those up every time I felt with Certainly, I was like, okay, like she's making out.

With this guy. But you know she told me this at night.

You know, we have special moments Pride of concert, Like that's what I'm thinking about. And that was the biggest challenge up to this point for sure. But yeah, those special moments definitely.

Kept did anything like roll over into that into that group date, like any like did you get some like eye contact or anything that made you feel like I'm still the guy?

Yeah, definitely got some eye contact from Charity, And I know after my merment can out gone, I mean talking you look away and she was like it's giving you avenger something like that, and then she called me up and yeah, just playing it one on her right away.

I had the kiss her. It's been a while, Steve seeing.

Her, Yeah, that's always a nice moment. So we saw on the group date, Sean pulled her for a kiss in front of you guys. They got a little extra time and then came in pretty hot and the night portion, can you give us a little inside scoope bunt to how that made the group feel? And you know Sean's energy with it all, and it is.

Unfair to you guys because Sean is ken like he.

Like he looks like straight out of the market.

Yeah, he know.

He was literally pulled out of a plastic container with the like he was double denim checked, and he threw his shirt off the stage and he went to go, you know, kiss Charity on the ocean side pier, which was great. So we're all like sitting there waiting kind of for the night portion for the group date to happen, and we're all talking to you about how solemn everything is. Wow, Like Seawan still go we haven't seen him. The day was awesome, but man, it sucks that we all shoe Charity. And then all of a sudden, like he comes in. He's still in singing mode and he's walking in with the with the tune sound like something like for the nineteen twenties, and we're all just like, what the hell, like what like read their own buddy. You know, we're all kind up in in our feels and sad, but he's like, what's up, dudes, what's going on. I'm just like, oh my gosh, out of this alive. So yeah, he definitely walked into a shark thing.

Okay, So then he pulls the first move on the spot when Charity comes in. Now we were kind of we were back and forth a little bit like is it the classiest move? No, but it's you know, you're still competing for a woman. So he did make the first move again, how did you feel about that? And like, do you kind of like like maybe fault your yourself for not making that move before him.

You know, I don't fault Sean for doing it. I definitely was definitely rubbed me the wrong way at the time. But yeah, all his fear of love and war, I mean, this is amount a competition you're trying to fight for.

You know. Charity's hard.

You know, if you felt like he missed something on the pier and he needs to tell her right away, you know, I get it. But at the same time, like, I want to talk to her. It's been so long since I've talked.

To her, Like, you're on my radar.

If you can't, you know, figure this out your time was as intentional as it needs to be, and it spills over into the group date, like that's that I have a problem.

Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a good way of putting it. Like you had your time, and if you feel like you were an intentional enough with it that you need more time immediately, then.

Why should I have to pay for that?

Were there guys that were really affected on the group date? You know, I know you said, I don't fault him for it, but I got my time and I was intentional with that. Were there guys that were completely panicking and we're really upset with Sean?

Oh yeah?

We called all some on Abricabbi and Fitch with James Pearce, and that split happened that night when he came in singing that tune after the group day and stole charity from the couch. So James definitely felt a certain way. I can't remember who else felt a certain way, but I just know that Abercrombie and Fitch was split up.

Like that really threw me for a loop.

Because I was like, oh my gosh, like these guys will be like, you know, sweating, but they're not getting their time.

They might go, they might be going home. So yeah, James for sure.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's always hard when you feel like you're not getting enough time and someone's getting extra.

All right, So let's jump to the drama that you are now smack Dad right in the middle of it. So you make the decision, sorry, you make the decision to pull Charity aside and call out Braiden. Let's just kind of talk through that. What you were thinking. Do you regret it?

Yeah?

Take us back to Warwick's on the one on one and you're hearing Branden talk about his relationship with Charity, kind of rehapping what he said, how you guys took that and what kind of compelled you then bring it to charity for us?

Yeah, you know, Breiden, I feel like everything kind of compounded for him from night one to this point.

With his uh, I guess this, his quarrels about the process and.

Again be having that one on one Charity and have no special moments. I have a strong connection with her, and to hear someone else say that they're not sure about this process and you know she has some character flaws and there's things like that, it's like you're hurting someone that update, right, So I felt very I felt I took that personal and I also wanted to feel like I was her protector in a way because Neam I was there night want and that's someone that's important to her. But now all of a sudden, she's on an island by herself and she can't talk to him. So yeah, I definitely took note of what Braiden was saying around the house, especially if it's one on one. It's like, you have a rose in her chest, you know, what are you not sure about?

That's kind of where it was.

And you got James Pearce when Sean comes in and interrupts the group day and James Pearce say, as I get his talent. So it's like those things kept adding up and I was just like, Okay, like someone has some guaranteed bros. Someone's not getting to tie this buy. So it's like, Hey, there's other guys that want to be here and would love time, and there's guys that have time and has no idea what's going on?

When you say Branden, I was talking about Charity's character flaws? Are you referring to when he was kind of, you know, bitching about her making out with Joey for X amount of time.

Is that?

Is that what we're talking about? Is there more that we didn't see?

Yeah, I mean, I'm not going to air it all out, but there was definitely more around the house. I you know, I feel like what was aired was a pretty accurate depiction of what was going through his head. But yeah, you know, we were on that couch chapter the Kissing Day. You know, there's a few guys arguing, but they definitely braided an Adrian. It was just about like, wow, I can't I can't believe she did that. It's like she had no idea of this state. And plus this is her journey, this signed up for.

You got to link in. She said that multiple times too. You gotta lay into the process. It's like, just do it, you know, just.

Just lean in and you'll find that, you know, you won't spire as much of your stop thinking about what's going to happen weeks down the line. I mean, just think about what she's doing, what she's up to, and in fact that she's a bachelrette and she's trying to find her husband and also have a good time while doing it.

So just yeah, cause profit.

Okay, So you're so now you you you're sitting with Charity, you bring it to her attention. How are you feeling in that moment, because that I mean, you're all you're you're taking a risk care like you're you're calling this guy out it also, you know, it could screw up your potential relationship with her at the time. So, like, what's going through your mind when all this is going on?

Yeah, that's that's a great question. I mean, I feel like there was so much going through my head there.

It's been a while since I've seen Charity number one, so I was really just trying to like, you know, keep the romance alive and also in our chemistry as well. At the same time, in the back of my head, I was like, I have an objective. I need to come forward with something because I wanted to put by words into actions as her protector. And it was just like it was conflicting at first, But once I sat down, I was talking to her and I realized that she was tired, like she has to talk to these guys forgetting names, et cetera. It's like, okay, like you're trying so hard to do all this and then you got someone that's kind of like ridiculed me. So it was easy at that point once we had our first boors shut off of our talk, to just say, Okay, hey, look like.

You're such an incredible woman.

This guy is screwing you in the background basically, wow, something that you can't see, and I'm noticing this stuff around the house and I just want you to know you can make your own decision.

But yeah, I'll leave you with that.

But then hearing that, he was kind of like, so, you know, obviously I'm not there, so I don't know what he's saying, But as if you were watching it, it's not like he's hiding much from Charity, Like we're kind of watching him be pretty open with the fact that he may not be ready for an engagement. So do you, like, I guess what I'm saying, Like, do you think.

Do you think watching it back and seeing how open he was with Charity that maybe he knew that, or do you feel like you were hearing a lot more behind the scenes that you were like, no, you're not hearing the whole story.

Yeah, you know, watching it back, like the power of hide side is crazy, right, But watching it back, I realized from what was shown that what he was telling us was not that channel to charity at all.

Like he was talking, he was very open with charity.

He was saying, you know, his concerns about the process, but you know, in the background he was talking more about you know, packing his bags and how this is not gonna work, like how you know it's like her dating play of my friends like you. I was on the ball play one day and he was just like, I don't know it's gonna work, and like I just got back from my one on one what So, Yeah, there was definitely some wow, some red flat lights in my head kind of came up, and I wanted to let her know as yeah, you're like it might not.

Work for you, dude, but I had a really good date. So I don't know what you're talking about.

Well, I'm the one. It's like, I'm the one person you shouldn't tell now That's how it felt.

And did you have like did you have that conversation with him?

Yes, yes, we had a quick conversation on the balcony and I was like, hey, dude, like just lock it.

Literally just lock it. That's all I have to do.

And yeah, from there, I really didn't see him as much with the dates and all that, but it was just not getting better at all, and like it was just kind of becoming something in the house with other contestants, and I was like, Okay, this is actually becoming a niche.

That's what's interesting to me too, is because it started off on rocky waters and it just felt like it kept kind of snowballing down the hill versus him getting called out and maybe like pulling back. I feel like he never put up that filter of that guard with you guys. If anything, he just became more open, which was kind of biting him in the ass.

Yeah.

You know, like Brandon, he wears as hard asleep. He's got you know, he's very he's emotionally intelligent. It's like, you know, how can you control it here in this unconventional process, because you know it's going to get the best of you if you let it. You have to, like you said, both the filter stright off and yeah, just think about why you're really here. And also journally helps. I mean, there's just other ways to have it outlet Rather than like tell the guys your exact thoughts, he'd be exact Todd, you know, because you have any processed those starts, it looks like, you know, do you.

Think that Branden should have gone home? Do you think he should not have been there in terms of his readiness to engage, his willingness lean.

Into the process.

Yeah, you know, Brandon, I think he was looking for love, but I don't think this was the right, you know, kind of environment for that, So I should like to.

Well, probably not, you know, yeah, that's okay.

Yeah.

And then so after you have that top maturity, you kind of go back and then she you know, we see the whole pause and then we're delaying the cocktail party or into the roast ceremony. YadA, YadA, YadA. You start getting a lot of slack from the guys that are there. At least that's that's what we see. Were you shocked by that, Like, we'll take us through that.

Yeah, that was very interesting. I mean who that was? Like?

Yeah, that was a that was a huge thing for me actually, like I kind of went back into my shell. But you know, after I talked to Charity, I went my two braided and I told them what happened. And then that you know, didn't go well. So I went right to the guys and told them what happened too. I was like, I'm just gonna take this head on and you know, whatever happens, whatever slack them to try to take it.

But it was a lot harder I thought. Yeah.

I told a group of I think like seven guys what happened. I was called a snake of media and I was like, okay, like what packed was there? You know what's going on? I'm like, are we not on the same page? Are we dating each other? Or we didn't chair it or trying to date? We know very chairit, So yeah, definitely confused. That was definitely like my first low point in this journey. But I stick my wide decision and I just thought it would be more by it. But it's not about what they think now, it's about what I thought was right.

I mean, listen, you you're you're there. You're there to get the girl.

And you know you got to do And if that is how you act in a relationship, and that is your protective nature coming out, you want to show all size of yourself. So you know, if that's naturally who you are, then that's who you should be, right.

No matter the unusual circumstances. I do want to ask you.

Bryden was very vocal on the show, and I don't know if you saw this and heard this while you're in the house or if it was your first time when you watched it back about how he felt like your actions were out of spite, jealousy, insecurity of his connection with already in the fact that he had a rose on his chest kind of what would your response to.

That be, Yeah, I mean, he's right to say what he did, but there was no jealousy at all, Like, I don't care about his relationship with Charity, just know that he's hurting her behind her back and.

She has no idea.

It's like there is no there's nothing involved where I thought I needed to advance my position overheb or I felt like my connection with Charity was strong enough to say, hey, like you know this guy is behind the scenes doing this.

I mean there was just no jealousy involved.

Yeah, Okay, were there so going back to like like that being a low point and the guy's giving you a lot of slack? Were there any guys that were on the same page with you and then when you you did that, they were like, well, you shouldn't have.

Did that I don't.

Yeah, I think I think Sean took me for drake. He took me for a drink, Aaron s. He laid down the facts, he laid out the law. He made me feel comfortable, and uh yeah, he definitely brought me down, brought me back to a good place immediately. And then you have Adrian. Adrian and Brayden have been feuding, so he had my back.

Of course.

I think he came up the elevator like heard what happened and he was like, yo, man, like I get it. So I'm like, okay, cool, Adrian's my god, this is my guy, and shots Mike, So.

Yeah, you can kind of see what happens at the end there. I lose about sixty six percent of those guys.

And are you in your head at that point? Like fuck? Now moving forward, I got to live with these guys, are gonna travel with these guys, and you know I'm public enemy number one.

Yeah, you know.

I was trying so hard to just be like, hey, these guys are not here with the horse blinders up Tucky Derby style, like there was no there was at thinking about how this would affect my journey. But at the same time, it's like, you know, we got to eat together, we got to travel, just like you said.

Yeah, and yeah, it was definitely awkward for sure.

Yeah, as much as.

People want to say, like, oh, we're not here to make friends, Like, as you know, you have to live with these people twenty four to seven, so like, it makes the journey a lot easier if you can be on good terms with everyone. So I can totally understand how that would feel like a low point for you.

Yeah, I mean honestly, like, to be completely honest, if I were in your situation, that would have been one of the reasons why I wouldn't have done it, because I would have been like, now I'm not going to deal with all the nonsense that comes with it. And yeah, like I get why you did it. I you know, as a viewer, I look at you with somebody who's in a good position with her, so I'm like, why why even do it? But after talking to you, I get you know, I get it. If you can spoil the season without spoiling it, tease it a little bit for us the rest of what we're gonna see, What do you got for me?

Damn, that's a good one without spoiling it. I will give a little teaser about that. I will say that, Yeah, I will say that it takes a while for Bready two come to a solution about that.

That's a good teaser. Can I ask one more question before we get into the game.

Yeah, we're going to get into a game.

And then we have a fun, rapid fire game for you.

So just to close this out really quick, Charity made a comment of like I can take this rose back from Brandon and send him home anytime I want, which I love. That comment was that your hope did you have a hope for the outcome? Because obviously we see he keeps the rose and he moves on to the next week. What was kind of do you have a prediction of what you thought she might do, of what you were hoping she would do, how the night would end?

I mean, Serena like, that question is literally a hot button because I saw him come back with the first impression rose what I thought he should have off, and all of a sudden he comets back with this group day rolls and actually know it was a one on one rolls, and I was like, dude, this guy doesn't miss Like he literally dodged two eliminations outside of the roads here, Why is he still here? Why does he have a rose on his chest? Oh yeah, I was hoping that she was talking about clipping issue.

But she's got nine lives.

Literally a cat.
