00:00We are honoring reality TV tonight. You guys are both reality TV icons in the worst way possible right now.
00:09I'm so excited to see you back on TV. I know that back on Orange County, how does it feel to be back in the mix of the ladies?
00:17It's been a rough season. I thought it would go one way and it went the other.
00:22And I know you guys just wrapped the reunion. What can you tease from that?
00:26I didn't get many words out.
00:30Why do you think that was the case?
00:32You'll see.
00:34I know it has been a rough season. Do you feel like you got any closure with Shannon at all?
00:39I don't need that. I just need the lies to stop.
00:42All we were ever trying to do, well I was trying to do, was be amicable in the group.
00:47And I know it looked one way.
00:51One time I would be wanting friends, but one time I'd want to be amicable, the next time I'd be defending John.
00:59But it's just because the lies didn't stop.
01:02Which, by the way, I can defend myself, but I don't have the voice that she has.
01:07And she loves me, and she's not going to let me be lied about.
01:11But I'm very capable of defending myself.
01:15You guys seem like an amazing couple.
01:18You have a lot of fans, but there's also a lot of criticism about you guys.
01:22What is the most false thing that you've heard about you two?
01:25The hate has been overwhelming.
01:27And what's so difficult is that it's like we're in a vortex where all of the hate is based off of things that aren't true.
01:35And me having no voice has been very difficult.
01:40Lex feels the responsibility to try and help me, and then she gets criticized for that.
01:46So it's a tough no-win deal.
01:48We're in a no-win situation.
01:50But it's okay, because now it's done.
01:52And we can close that door and open the door to the wedding.
01:56Are there any regrets? Anything that was shared? Any regrets?
02:00I don't have a regret.
02:03Well, I think Lex regrets sharing anything about the videos.
02:07Oh, okay.
02:09And I'll restate that I'm the one that has the videos.
02:14And nothing has ever come out of my mouth that I was ever going to show them to anybody.
02:19That was never a possibility.
02:22The funny thing is I thought I did that off-camera.
02:24Like, you film for 12 hours, and I was with my girlfriends, my good girlfriends.
02:28You think you do something, and then it's like, oh, shoot, the cameras were rolling.
02:31I didn't even remember that.
02:32I didn't.
02:34I told the friends about them off-camera, I thought.
02:39It is what it is.
02:40But I don't really have any regrets, because the truth is the truth, and we have truth on our side.
02:44Going through all of this, do you have any empathy for Shannon?
02:48I mean, she has to be on a show now.
02:50Do you have to have empathy?
02:52No, no, hold on. Does anyone have empathy for me?
02:54What about me? I had to be on a show.
02:56Just lost my mom.
02:57Wasn't eating, wasn't sleeping, was barely getting out of bed.
03:00Filmed a show and still put on my big girl panties to go film with his ex-girlfriend, which is just as hard.
03:06I'm tired of hearing about that.
03:08That was my next question.
03:09I have sympathy for her, but at the same time, it's like I had to do a really freaking hard job,
03:15and I got beat down the entire season.
03:20I probably shouldn't say this, but Shannon is masterful at eliciting sympathy that she doesn't deserve.
03:26And I know I'll take heat for that, but it's the truth.
03:30On a lighter note, I heard Save the Dates went out.
03:33Tamara says she got a Save the Dates.
03:35How is wedding planning going?
03:36What can we expect? Is it going to be a big wedding?
03:38Are we just going to elope somewhere?
03:40Talk to me about that. It's way more exciting.
03:42It is so much more exciting.
03:43We did try to keep it small, but it's not small.
03:47Sorry.
03:48Tell me more.
03:49It is going to be larger.
03:51We were trying to keep it way under 100.
03:53It's growing by the day.
03:54It's just like, and then we can't leave them out.
03:56Then we can't leave them, blah, blah, blah.
03:58It's like, yeah.
03:59A lot of the girls got the Save the Date, and so we're super excited.
04:03We have a lot of things already.
04:06Our life together is so amazing.
04:09Everything is better than I could ever imagine.
04:12So it's all the negativity on this other part of our life.
04:16It's this dichotomy that's hard to deal with.
