00:01:45Well, for some, this season was smooth sailing.

00:01:47But for others, they had to be, well, they had to work out the kinks, let's just say.

00:01:51And today, we're going to talk about all of it.

00:02:33Along with many, many more surprises.

00:02:35So Washington, D.C. took us on quite a journey.

00:02:37From flowers to flags.

00:02:39DMs to REMs.

00:02:41And matching science tattoos to the heartwarming I Do's.

00:02:43The I Do's.

00:02:45One of my favorite parts of every season.

00:02:47I loved every second of it.

00:02:49And with that, I want to congratulate all of you.

00:02:51Did you guys coordinate the black and gold?

00:02:53No.

00:02:55We always do this.

00:02:57I know.

00:02:59We always match.

00:03:01We're happy that your family got to join us today.

00:03:03We have Phuong and Tom, mom and dad.

00:03:05Hi, mom and dad.

00:03:07Hi, mom and dad.

00:03:09Hi, mom and dad.

00:03:11Hi, mom and dad.

00:03:13Hi, mom and dad.

00:03:15Hi, mom and dad.

00:03:17Hi, mom and dad.

00:03:19Hi, mom and dad.

00:03:21If only we could get tattoos

00:03:23of all the chemistry

00:03:25we felt watching this season.

00:03:27You could, Nick.

00:03:29It's too late.

00:03:31It's only good if it's used periodically.

00:03:33Uh-oh.

00:03:37Seriously, Taylor,

00:03:39is Garrett still the best catch of them all?

00:03:41Of course he is.

00:03:43He makes me feel loved and comfortable

00:03:45and shows up every day for me.

00:03:48He's all you can really ask,

00:03:50especially in these crazy, incredible circumstances.

00:03:52He's my best friend.

00:03:54That's the best.

00:03:56It's the best.

00:03:58Best to spend every day with your best friend.

00:04:00We're loving the new look.

00:04:02Is it safe to say

00:04:04we can call this Taylor's version?

00:04:06No.

00:04:08This is Garrett's blow-up hair.

00:04:10Garrett, is it safe to say

00:04:12that she's filled a blank space

00:04:14in your fashion world?

00:04:16Dad jokes are great.

00:04:18If you don't like them, you can just shake it off.

00:04:20No, they're great. I love them.

00:04:22We talked a little bit about it earlier.

00:04:24We learned this from you on the season.

00:04:26Avid fisherman.

00:04:28Have you had a chance to take Taylor fishing yet?

00:04:30I had to. That was the real test, obviously.

00:04:32She passed?

00:04:34Oh, yeah. Flying color.

00:04:36We actually have photos of this real test.

00:04:38Can we check it out?

00:04:40Aw.

00:04:42Aw.

00:04:44Oh, man.

00:04:46Aw.

00:04:48It looked great, baby.

00:04:50You guys said

00:04:52grab it by the eyes. I was like, ha ha.

00:04:54You were like, no, grab it by the eyes.

00:04:56I was like, but I have long nails.

00:04:58The eyes and the nails, that's how you hold them.

00:05:00You guys come, we'll show you.

00:05:02Speaking of

00:05:04inviting people fishing,

00:05:06I have some other photos from another

00:05:08very special fishing trip that you took, Garrett.

00:05:10Let's take a look at those.

00:05:24Guys,

00:05:26I love fishing.

00:05:28Why wasn't I invited on this bromance?

00:05:30So, Tyler,

00:05:32was this a one and done fishing experience

00:05:34or are you hooked now?

00:05:36I told him, let's go again.

00:05:38I was surprised by how much fun I had.

00:05:40We had a ball, all three of us.

00:05:42You said you're good at everything in the pod,

00:05:44so I was testing it out.

00:05:46Did I get a fish?

00:05:48Well, yeah, something like that.

00:05:50Tyler and Ashley,

00:05:52so happy to have you guys here today.

00:05:54It's hard to believe, but you've been married

00:05:56almost a year now.

00:05:58Wow.

00:06:00Congrats again.

00:06:02So,

00:06:05how's it going?

00:06:07It's been great, honestly.

00:06:09This year's been a lot of laughter,

00:06:11a lot of growth, a lot of love.

00:06:13A learning experience.

00:06:15We always talk about how important it is

00:06:17once you get married

00:06:19before the world finds out

00:06:21that time that you have.

00:06:23How crucial it is to the married couples

00:06:25to solidify that foundation

00:06:27because once the show is out there

00:06:29and your story is out there,

00:06:31then everyone wants to chime in.

00:06:33That bubble was nice.

00:06:35I'm going to get into that.

00:06:37Tyler, you had spoken on the show

00:06:39and everybody was shocked

00:06:41when you revealed that you had donated

00:06:43sperm to help a friend

00:06:45and her wife have children.

00:06:47Since then,

00:06:49there has been online chatter

00:06:51about your involvement in

00:06:53these children's life and it being

00:06:55more than you had initially let on.

00:06:57Can you now clarify

00:06:59what's going on with that?

00:07:01Absolutely.

00:07:03Those kids, that family,

00:07:05they did not sign up for this.

00:07:07What is happening now is

00:07:09I try to keep that from happening.

00:07:11Their birth certificates are online.

00:07:13Things that shouldn't be happening

00:07:15are now happening.

00:07:17To get into the story,

00:07:19I did help a friend

00:07:21and her wife started a family

00:07:23but her wife ended up leaving her

00:07:25and left her high and dry.

00:07:27This was my very close friend.

00:07:29I played a part

00:07:31that became very shaky

00:07:33with a friend.

00:07:35There's no rule books

00:07:37to this.

00:07:39There's no set lines to this.

00:07:41I do want to let people know

00:07:43Ashley knows all this.

00:07:45This is news to the world.

00:07:47This has never been news to us.

00:07:49I'm giving this explanation now

00:07:51because I feel like the world

00:07:53is waiting for it.

00:07:55I don't owe anyone an explanation

00:07:57Are you sitting here with me?

00:08:01We got your back, man.

00:08:11I'm good. We're good.

00:08:13I'm not going to keep harping on it.

00:08:15Yeah.

00:08:17It's funny, everyone kept saying

00:08:19I said mm-hmm a lot in the pods

00:08:21but not today.

00:08:23I do have some things to say.

00:08:26What do you think has better insight

00:08:28on what's going on, social media or me?

00:08:30For people to imply

00:08:32that she was blindsided, she didn't know

00:08:34is insulting to my intelligence.

00:08:36That's number one.

00:08:38Number two, for the record,

00:08:40this is something he never wanted to share

00:08:42on camera.

00:08:44I just didn't feel like it would be

00:08:46an authentic experience

00:08:48or that I could continue the experience

00:08:50if we didn't.

00:08:52I know me.

00:08:54I told him

00:08:56in some capacity we have to

00:08:58talk about this.

00:09:00There were things he was comfortable sharing

00:09:02and things he wasn't.

00:09:04For example, one time I asked him

00:09:06doesn't he know what you look like?

00:09:08He's like, I don't think so.

00:09:10You could tell.

00:09:12Of course he divulged that information.

00:09:14He was trying to lie for the cameras

00:09:16but you guys had already had this conversation.

00:09:18We weren't there for a couple other things

00:09:20we'll get to later.

00:09:22Hey Steven.

00:09:26You guys had had this conversation

00:09:28and I see that the next day for cameras

00:09:30you're trying to clarify because you want to be authentic

00:09:32but also you're trying to protect him

00:09:34and these children.

00:09:36The thing with humanity

00:09:38is they have a hard time

00:09:40understanding

00:09:42anything that we don't get

00:09:44anything that's taboo, anything that's out of our norm.

00:09:46That's exactly what's happening.

00:09:48Instead of trying to rationalize

00:09:50it's hard to navigate.

00:09:52For me, I just know Tyler

00:09:54in his heart to know that it had to be

00:09:56hard to navigate with a friend.

00:09:58Way easier when you're removed.

00:10:00With him growing up in a

00:10:02single parent household

00:10:04in that scenario when that happened with the divorce

00:10:06it was very hard for him to

00:10:08remove himself

00:10:10and not be involved when

00:10:12this is now a single mom.

00:10:14That was hard for him and I just know

00:10:16that he is a good person

00:10:18who went in a little too deep

00:10:20and didn't know what to do next.

00:10:22This is not a game. This is till death do us part.

00:10:24And we mean it. You can try.

00:10:26We've seen Aldi get an annulment

00:10:28be done with him.

00:10:30Ask Ashley.

00:10:32I said I do

00:10:34to all of it. I was aware

00:10:36and I took on what I wanted to.

00:10:38This is a once in a lifetime kind of love.

00:10:40This is a rarity and it's something

00:10:42that is worth risking anything for.

00:10:44I ain't saying

00:10:47I do nothing crazy.

00:10:51This is something that I knew

00:10:53if I listened to the public I could go find a man

00:10:55and pop my stuff a little bit.

00:10:57She can't find one.

00:10:59This is something that I would never

00:11:01find again and it's

00:11:03worth it all. We're just so grateful for your love

00:11:05and watching it the whole season

00:11:07was giving me all the feels.

00:11:09She had all the feels.

00:11:11We know it's a

00:11:13sensitive subject and we truly appreciate

00:11:15the insight and you guys being so honest

00:11:17and forthright about sharing that

00:11:19here on the stage. You've had your valleys

00:11:21you've had your peaks. What do you think

00:11:23if you can put it in a nutshell

00:11:25is one of the best things about

00:11:27being married to Tyler, Ashley?

00:11:29Tyler is

00:11:31my calmest love.

00:11:33I've never felt

00:11:35so centered than I do when I'm

00:11:37with him. Whenever I have a bad day

00:11:39I call my mom. I still call you

00:11:41sometimes but now

00:11:43I call him first.

00:11:45It's good having a best friend

00:11:47that listens and cares for my heart

00:11:49and like you said the foundation that we have

00:11:51is so deep

00:11:53and beautiful

00:11:55and we learned a lot of different things

00:11:57along the way like dropping pride

00:11:59and dropping arguments

00:12:01picking and choosing

00:12:03your battles, things like that

00:12:05but I definitely just love

00:12:07the stillness and the calmness

00:12:09that he brings.

00:12:11It's a ride right?

00:12:13It's never a dull moment

00:12:15we say this about our relationship

00:12:17to me that's the way I would want it

00:12:19continuing to learn

00:12:21to experience each other

00:12:23and just enjoy that ride

00:12:25so Tyler what about you? What's the best thing

00:12:27about being married to Ashley?

00:12:29Honestly

00:12:31it's the unconditional love

00:12:33I've thought about this a million times

00:12:35I've gotten hurt playing sports

00:12:37I've been sick

00:12:39other things have happened

00:12:41and she has been standing there

00:12:43there has never been a day where she hasn't said

00:12:45I love you

00:12:47it's extremely unconditional

00:12:49I've never experienced unconditional love to this extent

00:12:51and she reassures me every time we talk

00:12:53I'm not going anywhere

00:12:55I love you no matter what

00:12:57and for me that's

00:12:59first time ever in my life experiencing this

00:13:01and it's big

00:13:03now I'm starting to feel what unconditional love is like

00:13:05For you as the mother

00:13:08How does it feel to see your daughter and her husband

00:13:10your son-in-law

00:13:12what's it been like for you this past year?

00:13:14It's been beautiful

00:13:16I'm learning from them

00:13:18the way that they communicate

00:13:20they have open communication

00:13:22I just think that it's so beautiful

00:13:24and I'm going to keep learning from you

00:13:26Thank you

00:13:28It's so great for us to be a part of this

00:13:30and get to know so many incredible

00:13:32people through this experience

00:13:34and I've got to point out

00:13:36on this stage just a few months ago

00:13:38in the house tonight, AD

00:13:40What's up AD

00:13:42How you doing?

00:13:44I mean

00:13:46Statuesque

00:14:08and I'm so grateful for everyone

00:14:10Mounds and mounds of support

00:14:12Thank you for sharing your story

00:14:14and being so open and vulnerable

00:14:16I didn't realize how much I touched people

00:14:18with my vulnerability

00:14:20so that was one thing that was really special for me

00:14:22It's interesting when you're on TV

00:14:24there is an opportunity to really truly

00:14:26inspire and touch other people

00:14:28who are watching you

00:14:30It's amazing you were able to feel that

00:14:32And you're getting emotional

00:14:34I know, I always do

00:14:36So what's going on today?

00:14:38Current

00:14:40Today?

00:14:42What's happening with you now, AD?

00:14:46No, I'm just having a good time

00:14:50By yourself or with someone?

00:14:52Not by myself

00:14:56With a someone

00:14:58Very special someone

00:15:00We're keeping it private, we're keeping it cute

00:15:04What else?

00:15:06Squirming

00:15:08I don't know, you tell me

00:15:10All good things, I'm very happy

00:15:12And you know we love you

00:15:14Thank you, I love you all so much

00:15:16It's great to have you here

00:15:18Every season we have stories that

00:15:20warm our hearts and others that

00:15:22break them

00:15:24One relationship that surprised us all was

00:15:26Marissa and Ramses

00:15:29Hi

00:15:31There were mostly green flags

00:15:33There were a few nautical flags

00:15:35But there was one big red flag

00:15:37when Ramses called everything off

00:15:39Hey Marissa

00:15:41Hi

00:15:43Watching you go through

00:15:45that moment on our

00:15:47television was really

00:15:49hard. How was that for you to watch?

00:15:56I felt like I was reliving

00:15:58God, I'm such a cry baby

00:16:00It's ok to cry

00:16:02It was hard

00:16:04because I just remember what it felt like

00:16:06So it can just

00:16:08be hard to kind of see that

00:16:10and just relive it pretty much

00:16:12I felt like my heart was breaking all over again

00:16:16Ramses, how

00:16:18was it for you

00:16:20reliving that moment and watching that moment

00:16:22over again?

00:16:24It was difficult

00:16:26I didn't come into this

00:16:28experience wanting to

00:16:30devastate anyone or leave anyone

00:16:32heartbroken

00:16:34I came in here looking for the love of my life

00:16:36For the majority of this experience

00:16:38I thought I had found it in Marissa

00:16:40Watching it back was

00:16:42difficult. I had to pause several times

00:16:44because I hadn't seen

00:16:46her reaction

00:16:48when she was alone

00:16:50in her interviews

00:16:52Just seeing how she was

00:16:54falling apart was very difficult

00:16:56to watch back

00:16:58You mentioned for a majority

00:17:00of this experience you thought you had found

00:17:02that. Can you walk us through what that was

00:17:04that derailed

00:17:06that for you?

00:17:08For me

00:17:10once we got into that latter portion of the

00:17:12experience, I basically

00:17:14started to recognize

00:17:16how far

00:17:18of a space there was in our

00:17:20energy and how there wasn't

00:17:22that balance that I felt

00:17:24in the pods

00:17:26There was one day where I think it hit

00:17:28home for me

00:17:30and I realized and recognized that

00:17:32if I moved forward with Marissa

00:17:34every day

00:17:36I would be in a place where

00:17:38I would feel exhausted and overwhelmed

00:17:40I don't want to change who she is

00:17:42She deserves a

00:17:44person and a love that will embrace who she is

00:17:46fully as she is

00:17:48I just felt that that person

00:17:51Hey Vanessa

00:17:53How you doing?

00:17:55Is this the first time that you've

00:17:57seen Ramses?

00:17:59Yeah

00:18:01Is there anything that you

00:18:03The day that she

00:18:05called, when everything was

00:18:07called off, I was on my way

00:18:09for the wedding

00:18:11and everything was called off

00:18:13and

00:18:15she was upset

00:18:17and of course I'd do

00:18:19anything for her so I did

00:18:21go up there and speak to him

00:18:23even though I wanted to punch him in the throat

00:18:27and try to talk him into

00:18:29you know, see what was wrong

00:18:31and

00:18:33I'm thankful he called it off

00:18:35I am. She would have carried that relationship

00:18:37and so

00:18:39he did the right thing

00:18:41and I thank you for that

00:18:43That first out, he should have been

00:18:45honest and man enough to tell her

00:18:47He should have given her a little bit of

00:18:49doubt instead of reassuring her every

00:18:51single time she asked him

00:18:53She really felt like

00:18:55when she came into this experiment

00:18:57she was going to meet her one

00:18:59and she thought you were it

00:19:01and you broke her

00:19:03I had to help pick her up

00:19:05She was devastated

00:19:07Devastated

00:19:09You didn't see that part

00:19:11You got to walk away

00:19:13and cry

00:19:15You're correct

00:19:17I should have been more forthcoming

00:19:19about those concerns I had earlier on

00:19:21I didn't bring them up

00:19:23because I wasn't sure in the moment

00:19:25if it was going to become an issue for us or not

00:19:27It took time for me to arrive at that place

00:19:29But you see I didn't have

00:19:31a say

00:19:33Everything you just said was like

00:19:35I this, I that

00:19:37It's like we're a partnership

00:19:39If you're tiptoeing about my feelings

00:19:41I don't have a say in how

00:19:43No, I understand

00:19:45I take full accountability

00:19:47for the fact that I didn't bring this up sooner

00:19:49If I have any regret

00:19:51in this experience

00:19:53it's not

00:19:55being more forthcoming about that with you

00:19:57Not to take away from

00:19:59the pain that you felt

00:20:01but it was difficult for me as well

00:20:03I saw myself

00:20:05I saw us having a future

00:20:07and I saw what it could potentially be

00:20:09but unfortunately

00:20:12I came to that realization

00:20:14towards the end of this experience

00:20:16and it just made for

00:20:18a very heartbreaking

00:20:20situation

00:20:24Marissa, can I tell you something?

00:20:26You're beautiful

00:20:28and your energy is beautiful

00:20:30and

00:20:39and I don't mean

00:20:41I don't mean this as a slight to Ramses at all

00:20:43but you want to find someone who will love

00:20:45all of you and that part of you

00:20:47that is such a beautiful thing

00:20:49so don't, please don't feel like

00:20:51you did anything wrong in this

00:20:53or there's anything wrong with you

00:20:55There's not at all

00:20:57You're a beautiful, beautiful soul

00:20:59Just always remember that

00:21:01We appreciate you saying that

00:21:05Ramses, anything that was really like sitting with you

00:21:07that you wanted to kind of button up today?

00:21:09Yeah, we had a lot of different

00:21:11conversations. There's one in particular

00:21:13that we had about contraception

00:21:15I wanted to clarify

00:21:17at no point did I ever

00:21:19try to present

00:21:21Marissa with an ultimatum

00:21:23She had very valid reasons as to

00:21:25why she didn't want to use hormonal contraception

00:21:27I'm well aware of the effects it has

00:21:29on a woman's body

00:21:31and so I would never try to force that upon her

00:21:33We had a conversation about multiple methods

00:21:35It was a very nuanced conversation

00:21:37We arrived at

00:21:39sort of a solution that worked best for us

00:21:41and it wasn't a situation where

00:21:43I was just being whiny and bratty

00:21:45and like oh I don't want to use a condom

00:21:47or whatever the sort of perception is

00:21:49of that conversation

00:21:51So we could wrap it up

00:21:53this conversation

00:21:55Always important to wrap it up

00:21:59Alright guys, one of our former couples

00:22:01went on the journey of both heartache and

00:22:03ultimately great, great happiness

00:22:05We want to welcome right now Zach and

00:22:07Bliss

00:22:11First married, love is blind

00:22:13couple to welcome a baby

00:22:15So congratulations guys

00:22:17Amazing

00:22:19Thank you

00:22:21It's the best thing ever. She's actually backstage

00:22:24with her mom so maybe we'll see a little glimpse of her later

00:22:26but it's made our relationship

00:22:28and our love stronger and deeper

00:22:30and it's the best thing ever

00:22:32It's amazing. It's the best thing that's ever happened to me

00:22:34So tell us about her name

00:22:36Galileo

00:22:38I'll let Zach take it

00:22:40It's the spirit of the person

00:22:42that that name represents

00:22:44is what I hope that my daughter

00:22:46embodies

00:22:48It's perfect for her and we love it

00:22:50And it's crazy

00:22:52This little bundle of joy

00:22:54came out of you guys doing this whole experience

00:22:56So we have a little look

00:22:58back at your love story

00:23:00and how it all started. Take a look

00:23:02You never told me what your favorite song

00:23:04or singer or like band was

00:23:06My favorite song

00:23:08is I Hope You Dance

00:23:10by Leigh-Anne Wombat

00:23:12Really?

00:23:14Yeah, have you heard it?

00:23:16Absolutely. That's like my mom's song for like me

00:23:18That's gonna be

00:23:20my first dance song

00:23:22to whoever I marry

00:23:24I'm sorry

00:23:26I'm like already a little bit crying

00:23:28That's crazy. Go ahead and I'm listening

00:23:30I'm sorry

00:23:32When I was 16, my mother

00:23:34she dedicated that song to me

00:23:36She made me sit down and listen to it

00:23:38and so I actually memorized it

00:23:40I can sing it from memory

00:23:42I can sing it too

00:23:44You can sing

00:23:46You can sing I Hope You Dance from memory

00:23:48That's my mom's song for me

00:23:50How could I not?

00:23:52How weird is that?

00:24:04When Galileo was born

00:24:06we actually had I Hope You Dance

00:24:08playing in the background

00:24:10So Leigh-Anne

00:24:12sent us a wombat

00:24:14So if you don't know, her name is not

00:24:16Leigh-Anne Wombat

00:24:18Like you said in the pause

00:24:20Little delirious

00:24:22Her name is Leigh-Anne Womack

00:24:24but she has a sense of humor

00:24:26By the way

00:24:28that took some effort. Wombats are not easy to find

00:24:30I know, right?

00:24:32Is it hand knitted?

00:24:34She made this for us

00:24:36Little outfits for the baby

00:24:38so it's really sweet

00:24:40You guys, thank you so much for being here

00:24:43and continuing to share your love story

00:24:45and we just feel like proud

00:24:47grandparents

00:24:49I mean you were

00:24:51Foster grandparents

00:24:53And we can't wait to see baby Galileo later on

00:24:55So thank you so much

00:24:57But speaking of wombats

00:24:59Let's change it over to ducks

00:25:05Looking back, is there any part of you that just wishes

00:25:07you had ridden a stinking duck that day?

00:25:09No

00:25:11Still no

00:25:13So

00:25:19In looking back now and watching it

00:25:21you were very direct

00:25:23I just wanted to know if looking back now in hindsight

00:25:25do you think I'm glad I did that

00:25:27and we didn't end up working out

00:25:29or were you thinking maybe I was a little too direct

00:25:31Yeah, I think

00:25:33my personality is I'm very to the point

00:25:35I'm very direct, that's just who I am

00:25:37I'm very blunt

00:25:39I think I'm just telling you exactly how it is

00:25:41but really I just sound like a bitch

00:25:43So I just have to be a little bit careful

00:25:45and I'm aware though

00:25:47even when we film I'm aware

00:25:49I need to chill sometimes

00:25:51I need to not be so direct

00:25:53The things that I said were all true

00:25:55but it's just the way that you say it

00:25:57How does that make you feel, Nick, to know that she's saying

00:25:59yes, I stand by everything I say

00:26:01I wouldn't have expected her to say anything less

00:26:03She's entitled to her opinion

00:26:05and I certainly respect her

00:26:07I just think some things came across

00:26:09not completely true

00:26:11I know she felt that way

00:26:13but the delivery could have been

00:26:15a little bit better

00:26:17I was a little confused with some of the things

00:26:19that she was saying

00:26:21Like what?

00:26:23We weren't on the same level intellectually

00:26:25financially literate

00:26:27respectful

00:26:29I feel like just watching it back

00:26:31she would tell her friends

00:26:33part of the reason why

00:26:35I'm in love with Nick

00:26:37is because he treats me the right way

00:26:39and he's respectful

00:26:41When we broke up

00:26:43I wasn't respectful

00:26:45It's just some things like that

00:26:47you watch back

00:26:49Hannah's entitled to her perspective

00:26:51and her opinion

00:26:53I just saw it a little bit different

00:26:55Nick demonstrated a lot of patience

00:26:57that I never would have had

00:26:59I'm very impressed by that

00:27:01I knew he was a good dude

00:27:04What are you feeling

00:27:06when he says it takes a lot of patience

00:27:08to be in a relationship

00:27:10with you, to hear that constantly

00:27:12I think for sure

00:27:14I'm a big personality

00:27:16I'm a lot, I'm self-aware

00:27:18I know you have to have a lot of patience with me

00:27:20because I'm direct and I'll just say things

00:27:22I get it, I guess he had a lot of patience

00:27:24That makes sense

00:27:26In watching it

00:27:28I don't want to use the word remorse

00:27:30because I never want to take away from your independent strength

00:27:32But in watching the way that it was delivered

00:27:34and I know that you said you could have worded it differently

00:27:36Do you have anything you want to say to Nick

00:27:38about how you were

00:27:40communicating with him

00:27:42during your engagement

00:27:44I'm just direct

00:27:46I'm very direct

00:27:48It's harsh, it's bad

00:27:50This past year I've worked on it

00:27:52Watching it back, I see

00:27:54You could have said it a lot differently

00:27:56But that's inherently who I am

00:27:58I'm direct, I just need to work on how direct I am

00:28:00I'm just direct

00:28:02I'm a bitch sometimes

00:28:04I get it, I know

00:28:06AD

00:28:08Yeah

00:28:10Listen

00:28:12She's doubling down

00:28:14That's exactly what's happening

00:28:16She said what she said

00:28:18She's standing on it, I love that for you girl

00:28:20You look great by the way

00:28:22Appreciate it

00:28:24You look awesome

00:28:26And I'm sorry I was so cruel to you

00:28:28That's fine

00:28:35We talk about Garrett's glow up

00:28:37But you had a little glow up too Hannah

00:28:39Thank you

00:28:41How's the last year been for you

00:28:43Oh it's been hard, it's been a rough year

00:28:45I've just been working on myself a lot

00:28:47Internally and externally

00:28:49I had a lot of room to grow

00:28:51I didn't have to watch it back to know that

00:28:53I already knew that when we filmed it

00:28:55It's hard to figure yourself out

00:28:57And do you feel like

00:28:59You're loving this version of Hannah who sits here today

00:29:01Yeah I think so

00:29:03I think, I don't know

00:29:05I think I do

00:29:07What do you mean you don't know

00:29:09I don't know, I just feel awkward right now

00:29:11Yeah I do, I love myself

00:29:13And I just want to say one thing

00:29:15Hannah's fantastic

00:29:17She's been getting way too much hate online

00:29:19For just being the type of person she is

00:29:21And being super transparent

00:29:23Like we need more of that

00:29:26She's received way too much hate

00:29:28Why are you liking the hate comments then

00:29:30That people are leaving on your page

00:29:32Like what

00:29:34Like of course I'm creeping on you right now

00:29:36I'm like looking

00:29:38And like people say things and it's not bad

00:29:40But it's just like people say mean things

00:29:42I don't think you mean it like that but it hurts my feelings

00:29:44After we broke up my friends are with me

00:29:46And of course my friends are like let's go through this shit

00:29:48And we're packing up

00:29:50And his work notebook, it was just right on the table

00:29:52Just like out

00:29:54September like 18th

00:29:56I'm not sure what the exact date is

00:29:58I think it was 2 weeks right before we left

00:30:002 weeks before you left for the pods

00:30:02It was a very nickname

00:30:04There was 3 entries

00:30:06So one goes he wants to sell 2 homes this year

00:30:08He wants to be in the best shape of his life

00:30:10In the next 2 weeks

00:30:12And then the third bullet point

00:30:14Which was by far the most interesting

00:30:16Was that he wants to be the most famous person ever

00:30:18When love is blind

00:30:20I was like oh ok it all fucking makes sense now

00:30:22Yeah

00:30:24I want to set the record straight

00:30:26I write 90 day goals

00:30:28That date was the end of my 90 day goals

00:30:30When I had written it

00:30:32It was 3 months before that

00:30:34I was with my friend

00:30:36He got me into doing these 90 day things

00:30:38He's like you gotta get into this stuff

00:30:40And I didn't know what to write down

00:30:42He was just like write down anything

00:30:44So I was like ok get in good shape

00:30:46Sell 2 homes

00:30:48Obviously I wanted to sell 10 homes by that time

00:30:50And you know

00:30:52Be famous off love is blind

00:30:54That was way before I even knew I was going to be on the show

00:30:56It was 2 weeks before

00:30:58That's the date

00:31:00It's a 90 day thing

00:31:02So I write the finishing date as that

00:31:04So that was way before

00:31:06I even knew I was going to be on the show

00:31:08I was taking it super light

00:31:10We had been through a couple interviews

00:31:12I would never sit there on camera and say I love you

00:31:14100 times to someone if I didn't mean it

00:31:16I was super genuine

00:31:18I think everyone up here

00:31:20I guess except Hannah

00:31:22Would say I'm the same dude from start to finish

00:31:24And me

00:31:26I would expect you to have your girls back

00:31:28Not only that Nick

00:31:30Some of us come onto this experience

00:31:32Serious about finding love

00:31:34No matter if it's a 90 day date

00:31:36A year date

00:31:38I think writing down

00:31:40On the experience

00:31:42To be the most famous person on love is blind

00:31:44It's like a slap in the face to some of us

00:31:47And some people who weren't able to come onto the experience

00:31:49I know that you were a good person

00:31:51When I knew you in the pods

00:31:53But then you hear about these things

00:31:55And you're like what were you here for

00:31:57It was so irrelevant and meaningless to me

00:31:59That's why I left that notebook on our counter

00:32:01Every single day we lived together

00:32:03I knew it was in there

00:32:05If she wanted to look through it fine

00:32:07But I felt like Hannah knew how I felt

00:32:09I was telling her I loved her

00:32:11She met my family

00:32:13I lived with her

00:32:15I wouldn't have been on the show if I wasn't

00:32:17I think they're just

00:32:19To Marissa's point and maybe to Hannah's

00:32:21And we've had this on other seasons before

00:32:23Where we question people's genuine reasons for coming here

00:32:25That's not me at all

00:32:27I think Nick is a very calculated person

00:32:29To hear the things that he was saying behind my back

00:32:31After the reveal

00:32:33I'm an honest person

00:32:35Nick, to be honest

00:32:37I did feel like I was a foot taller than you

00:32:39I'm not a foot taller than you

00:32:41But I felt like that in that moment

00:32:43Meanwhile, I hear that he's saying stuff

00:32:45After the reveal

00:32:47Calling me ugly

00:32:49All these things behind my back

00:32:51But when he gets on camera

00:32:53He's like, Hannah's just so amazing

00:32:55Everything she does is so perfect

00:32:57No, it's not

00:32:59I'm literally being mean to you

00:33:01I don't understand what's going on

00:33:03I think my frustration was

00:33:05What the fuck is going on

00:33:07When I found that note

00:33:09I was like, okay, I see what this is

00:33:11Maybe that's what happened

00:33:13But be so fucking for real

00:33:15That's not your reality

00:33:17And being one of her best friends

00:33:19Marissa, you agree with that?

00:33:21Yeah, I would definitely agree with that

00:33:23I have always had conflicting feelings

00:33:25Between Nick and Hannah

00:33:27Just because I did get to know him

00:33:29And I got to know him as a really good person

00:33:31But with the things I was hearing

00:33:33About her looks

00:33:35And how he was rating her

00:33:37It just makes you question

00:33:39Was he serious about her?

00:33:41When you say other people

00:33:43Do you mean other people in this room?

00:33:45Yeah, I'm not the only one

00:33:47And there's people on this couch

00:33:49Because those are fairly serious

00:33:51If you're accusing him of saying things

00:33:53Behind her back about her looks

00:33:55Yeah, I think if we need a fact check

00:33:57And get perspective

00:33:59I don't know

00:34:01Did you say about my looks

00:34:03Was it with Fransis, maybe Garrett

00:34:05I can't remember

00:34:08If I'd like to tell my perspective

00:34:10Can I talk?

00:34:12Yeah, of course

00:34:14And Marissa, thanks for saying I was sincere off camera

00:34:16Because that's how I was

00:34:18You dated me

00:34:20And we dated each other pretty far in the process

00:34:22There's a reason why you kept talking to me

00:34:24And I've had your back with Hannah

00:34:26Multiple times off camera

00:34:28And since the show's revealed

00:34:30Is it real though, Nick?

00:34:32Because then, okay, we break up

00:34:34The only time you've texted me this past three years

00:34:36No, I actually texted you three days ago

00:34:38You texted me three days ago

00:34:40After some girls DMed me talking about how you're trying to fly her out for the reunion

00:34:42What are you talking about?

00:34:44Oh, the girls that you've been DMing, they're sending them to me

00:34:46Okay

00:34:48Yeah, so I've read them all

00:34:50We're not

00:34:52I'm gonna speak

00:34:54You just spoke

00:34:56Because all of this is your perspective

00:34:58And you're trying to shit on me for no reason

00:35:00I never brought your looks up once

00:35:02This whole thing is blown out of perspective

00:35:04I never said anything about Hannah's looks at all

00:35:06Right? You know, you said your piece

00:35:08Are y'all really gonna sit here and be like, come on, come on

00:35:10That's not true

00:35:12I talked to you about it

00:35:14You talked to Steven about it and Steven talked to me about it

00:35:16You have to be honest

00:35:18You said not nice things about the way Hannah looked

00:35:20Hannah has said shitty shit about you on camera and off camera

00:35:22And you have also

00:35:24So just take accountability

00:35:26I didn't

00:35:28You said she looked like a grenade

00:35:30I never said that

00:35:32I never said that

00:35:34That's what you guys heard from this person and this person

00:35:36You're friends

00:35:38Yeah, okay

00:35:40Steven, I don't want to bring up bro code and any violation of bro code

00:35:42But I mean, this is clearly

00:35:44Sounds like it's gone through you

00:35:46So did that happen?

00:35:48Yeah

00:35:50I mean, we've got to be honest

00:35:52That's why I'm protective of Hannah

00:35:54Because there was a lot of other things happening

00:35:56That clearly explains why

00:35:58She would feel insecure in her relationship

00:36:00And why she would feel frustrated

00:36:02I mean, yeah

00:36:04You talked about her looks

00:36:06In a very unkind way

00:36:08When we were flying home from Mexico

00:36:10You were the only one on the plane telling strangers

00:36:12Like we're here to film a show

00:36:14I mean, it was like

00:36:16It was hard to watch

00:36:18It didn't seem

00:36:20Like when Hannah found the note

00:36:22Hannah reached out to me shortly after she found Nick's three goals

00:36:24I think the same day

00:36:26I was zero percent surprised

00:36:29It's just funny to hear

00:36:31You know, the woman kind of getting at me

00:36:33Because I never talked to them once on the show

00:36:35I never told Steven

00:36:37You know, how I felt about Hannah

00:36:39Steven, he just said he never talked to you about the grenade

00:36:41He talked to me about the grenade

00:36:43But he didn't tell me about how he actually felt

00:36:45Because again, we had only had the reveal

00:36:47But he talked about the grenade

00:36:49He said she looks like a grenade

00:36:51But what I'm saying is

00:36:53As far as the rating scale goes

00:36:55I specifically do not remember that conversation

00:36:57There's people on this stage who do

00:36:59And there's people on this stage who would have my back

00:37:01And know that I'm a good guy

00:37:03I'm here for the right reason

00:37:05I personally feel like this conversation is extremely mature

00:37:07I'm just counting the seconds until we move past it

00:37:09To be honest

00:37:11Well, these are things that we do have to talk about

00:37:13It's uncomfortable, but we have to talk about them

00:37:15It's not that it's immature, Garrett

00:37:17Hannah's getting killed on the internet

00:37:19Hannah was a bitch to Nick

00:37:21And I'm sorry for that

00:37:23As her best friend, I'm sorry that she was like that

00:37:25She's been mean to me before, too

00:37:27She has room to grow

00:37:37It's all her

00:37:39He's this golden retriever puppy dog

00:37:41You're not, Nick

00:37:43You said some mean shit

00:37:45It got back

00:37:47You know what he fucking said

00:37:49You know what he said

00:37:51And it's like we're going to be the bad people for attacking the golden retriever

00:37:53I think you should ask the source

00:37:55There's so many rumors that go on

00:37:57On this show

00:37:59That's your perspective

00:38:01And I have my perspective on it

00:38:03It's not perspective

00:38:05You saw the whole show

00:38:07Alright, Alex, I see you're uncomfortable over there

00:38:09Did you want to say something?

00:38:11No, I'm fine

00:38:13It's just kind of baffling

00:38:15Because we

00:38:17Nick, love you, but

00:38:19You did not like what Hannah looked like

00:38:21And everybody knew that

00:38:23It was very clear

00:38:25We all knew it

00:38:27You talked about it

00:38:29So it's just kind of crazy

00:38:31Who did I talk about it with?

00:38:33Alright, Nick

00:38:35If there's any moment to take accountability for anything

00:38:37It's right now

00:38:39Everybody messes up

00:38:41Everybody says things that maybe you regret

00:38:43But let's keep it a hundred

00:38:45Things were said

00:38:48Like

00:38:50This is nothing

00:38:52It's not a big issue

00:38:54This is the moment to take accountability

00:38:56We're not perfect

00:38:58I said I was underwhelmed when I saw Hannah

00:39:00I never said she was her grenade

00:39:02Why did she invite me over

00:39:04A month after the show to hang out?

00:39:06Because we're all human

00:39:08I was fucking that man

00:39:10It's a breakup

00:39:12I invited you back

00:39:14Because

00:39:16She wasn't the type of person I was

00:39:18She was insecure

00:39:20She was being a bitch

00:39:22You had your issues

00:39:24Her insecurities were getting projected on me

00:39:26Throughout the entire show

00:39:28But you also were not being 100% honest

00:39:30You're also making me feel insecure

00:39:32You both were wrong in your own ways

00:39:34I know

00:39:36You were wrong

00:39:38We're all wrong

00:39:40Is that a fair way to say it?

00:39:42Hey wait

00:39:44Is that

00:39:46Wrap it up baby

00:39:48Alright we're actually going to dive into one of

00:39:50Your most memorable arguments

00:39:52Why not just put

00:39:54Gasoline on the flame

00:39:56This was after

00:39:58Nick talked to Katie

00:40:00Hey girl

00:40:02One of Hannah's best friends

00:40:04For what Hannah thought was just a little

00:40:06Too long so take a look at this clip

00:40:08Katie had

00:40:10Came up to me three different times the night

00:40:12Your best friend told me how attractive you were

00:40:14What does that have to do with me?

00:40:16Just let me explain

00:40:18He's hot Hannah

00:40:20I'm really into him

00:40:22What does that have to do with me Hannah

00:40:24What does that have to do with me Hannah

00:40:26I have no clue what the fuck you're saying

00:40:28I have no clue what the conversation is

00:40:30But to me it hurts

00:40:32Because that's my fiancee and my best friend

00:40:34It hurts me

00:40:36At the end of the day

00:40:38Is that a best friend

00:40:40Who disrespects me like that

00:40:42And is that a fiancee that disrespects me like that

00:40:44So my question for you is you're not secure in this

00:40:46You don't trust me

00:40:48It's not that I don't trust you

00:40:50It's about respect

00:40:52I don't know if I don't trust you

00:40:54But I don't know if I trust Katie

00:41:00What was it like watching that

00:41:02That was hard

00:41:04I was so excited to see everybody

00:41:06Especially Marissa and Hannah

00:41:09They're my best friends in the pods

00:41:11Couldn't wait to see them

00:41:13And of course throw me in the mix with all my exes

00:41:15Hey guys that was fun

00:41:17The last thing I wanted to do

00:41:19Was hurt anyone

00:41:21That was never my intentions

00:41:23And Nick and I talked at the end of the evening

00:41:25I had no clue how long we were sitting there talking

00:41:27I also had no idea that Hannah was upset

00:41:29Truthfully I didn't

00:41:31I thought our conversation was fine

00:41:33Nick and I dated for three days

00:41:35In the pods

00:41:37And I never had a situation where I said

00:41:39Hey I'm breaking up with you I don't want to see you ever again

00:41:41We just never saw each other again

00:41:43So he had questions

00:41:45And we're both charismatic people

00:41:47You look back and we're laughing

00:41:49And it looks like we're flirting

00:41:51And for the record I said he was cute

00:41:53Two times

00:41:55Hot, cute, sexy, whatever

00:41:57But it's tough to hear that

00:41:59Because I thought Hannah knew my heart

00:42:01I thought Hannah knew my intentions

00:42:03When I found out how upset she was

00:42:05I was sick

00:42:07Sick to my stomach

00:42:09I couldn't apologize more

00:42:11I sent her flowers

00:42:13I was really unwell

00:42:15And to sit on that for a year

00:42:17Of anxiety building up

00:42:19And not knowing what we said

00:42:21Or how we upset her

00:42:23And then to see it back

00:42:25Words can bounce right off of you

00:42:27But to hear your best friend say

00:42:29That she doesn't trust you

00:42:31I have to ask Hannah

00:42:33We've talked about this

00:42:35Exhaustion and I love you

00:42:37I love you Marissa so much

00:42:39But I have to ask

00:42:41I didn't anticipate that

00:42:43Nothing against you I promise

00:42:45I said I don't know if I trust Katie

00:42:47I don't know why the freak I said that

00:42:49I was just in the heat of the moment

00:42:51We were arguing

00:42:53If I would have said I don't trust you

00:42:55He'd be like well you shouldn't trust Katie

00:42:57I don't know I just don't trust Katie

00:42:59The argument's over

00:43:01I had no clue what the hell you guys were saying

00:43:03Now that I watch it it's not that bad

00:43:05I don't know what the heck was going on

00:43:07My emotions were heightened

00:43:09Katie I trust you

00:43:11Thank you

00:43:13I appreciate that

00:43:15Well there's someone here

00:43:17Who might have thoughts

00:43:19On all of this

00:43:21So let's bring them out

00:43:23Please join us in welcoming

00:43:25Our favorite ENTJ

00:43:27And aspiring trophy wife

00:43:30Yes I'm talking about

00:43:32Leo and Brittany

00:43:46Hi Brittany

00:43:48Hi Leo

00:43:50Leo I'm just gonna go right into it

00:43:52You had a lot of conversations in the pods

00:43:54But in watching it back

00:43:56Did you ever realize

00:43:58How often you spoke about

00:44:00Money

00:44:02I know

00:44:04It seemed like I really couldn't shut up about it

00:44:06We were encouraged to talk about

00:44:08All aspects of marriage

00:44:10Including finances

00:44:12I think I overcooked it a little bit

00:44:14With the money talk

00:44:16I didn't realize

00:44:18Until I was watching it back

00:44:20When I was watching I thought

00:44:22Geez this Leo guy won't shut up about it

00:44:24If I could do it over again

00:44:26I wouldn't have bled with that so much

00:44:28Because I wish they could have gotten to know

00:44:30Me more than just

00:44:32What I do and the money I have

00:44:34Because that's so low on the list

00:44:36Of how I see myself

00:44:38Well you did spend a lot of time in the lounge

00:44:40With the guys

00:44:42You guys all got really close

00:44:44Which is another thing we love

00:44:46There's a brotherhood and a sisterhood

00:44:48That exists that nobody will ever know

00:44:50Except for all of you

00:44:52But you guys and talking with Leo

00:44:54You're laughing too

00:44:56Yeah I'll talk

00:44:58Leo's a misunderstood guy

00:45:00He really is

00:45:02He's a high level thinker

00:45:04And he processes out loud

00:45:06The problem is that can get you in trouble sometimes

00:45:08Especially in a medium like this

00:45:10Leo has a good heart

00:45:12He's again high minded

00:45:14He knows his shit

00:45:16On a lot of levels

00:45:18He's super creative

00:45:20Some of the bars

00:45:22He's got a taste of it

00:45:24This dude could out rap

00:45:26I ain't gonna say nothing crazy

00:45:28Don't get Kendrick on me

00:45:30We're in LA

00:45:32I don't want no problems

00:45:34Leo

00:45:36He's a good guy

00:45:38I can't attest to the fact that he took this seriously

00:45:40I would often tell him

00:45:42Brother I know that you're trying to process

00:45:44And take this so seriously

00:45:46But eventually you have to make a decision

00:45:48You were kind of sitting on the fence

00:45:51He's got a lot more

00:45:53To offer this world than art

00:45:55And commentary about money

00:45:57Even though he has plenty of that

00:45:59To offer

00:46:01I love you brother

00:46:03I love you too

00:46:05You said you came here

00:46:07Wanting a tennis doubles partner

00:46:09But tennis is literally a sport

00:46:11Where love means nothing

00:46:13Ironically

00:46:15I didn't think about that

00:46:17Deep thoughts

00:46:19In tennis love means nothing

00:46:21And unfortunately you ended up alone

00:46:23So

00:46:25What

00:46:27Maybe put it out there

00:46:29What was it

00:46:31Like for you

00:46:33And I use your words here

00:46:35What was it like for you

00:46:37Having to decide between two amazing women

00:46:39Gosh

00:46:41You can see how torn up I was

00:46:43With the decision

00:46:45And maybe this is a bit of a goofy analogy

00:46:47You know when you're at a restaurant

00:46:49And you're between should I have the pasta or the steak

00:46:51And the waiter comes to the table

00:46:53And he's like is everybody ready to order

00:46:55And everyone says yes

00:46:57And he goes around the table

00:46:59And you're like let me order last

00:47:01And you're trying to take every little bit of time

00:47:03I was like fighting for every second of time

00:47:05The issue is

00:47:07The food has feelings

00:47:09I was so wrapped up in my decision

00:47:11That I really wasn't realizing

00:47:13How it was impacting people

00:47:15So it's something I've been working a lot on

00:47:17I'm someone that likes to

00:47:19Have control of every situation and make decisions

00:47:21And I've been really trying to work on

00:47:23Taking other people

00:47:25Into consideration with that

00:47:27I actually understand what you're saying

00:47:29But I think that women probably

00:47:31Don't want to be associated with being steak or pasta

00:47:33I'm alright with being

00:47:35Associated with meat apparently

00:47:37So

00:47:39We'll get to you in a minute buddy

00:47:41You're getting a little antsy over there

00:47:43I've been a little too chatty

00:47:45Don't worry

00:47:47We've got to set the table for all the meals for you

00:47:49Oh yeah

00:47:51We have not forgotten about you my friend

00:47:53I was hoping you had but it's ok

00:47:55I'll be here

00:47:57Alright well Leo is there anything that you want to say

00:47:59To Hannah or Brittany

00:48:01About how you handled those final conversations

00:48:03Hannah

00:48:05How I acted

00:48:07Towards you in that night and morning

00:48:09Conversation, the amount of shame that I have

00:48:12The temper tantrum that I threw

00:48:14And then in the morning

00:48:16How delusional I was

00:48:18For me to call our breakup mutual

00:48:20I got dumped

00:48:22To put you in this weird position

00:48:24Of putting in a good word for Brittany

00:48:26That was so weird and strange

00:48:28And like I wanted

00:48:30Hell would be being locked in a dark room

00:48:32Being forced to rewatch that scene

00:48:34Over and over again

00:48:36And

00:48:38Honestly Hannah I'm so

00:48:40So sorry you do not deserve that

00:48:42And Brittany

00:48:44I put you through

00:48:46A hell of a lot too

00:48:48And I'm so sorry also for just

00:48:50How

00:48:52My inability to make a decision just

00:48:54You know put you through the ringer

00:48:56In the pods

00:48:58Thank you

00:49:00Speaking of you two

00:49:02Brittany let's talk a little bit about the reveal

00:49:04There's been a lot of chatter

00:49:06About your reveal

00:49:08How did you feel

00:49:10Watching that back

00:49:12I was hoping it would never be shown

00:49:14To be honest

00:49:16I was fully aware of how

00:49:18Awkward it was

00:49:20As I was living it

00:49:22But you know

00:49:24As I was watching I was like okay

00:49:26This isn't too bad and then it just got worse

00:49:28And worse

00:49:30So

00:49:32But I wasn't uncomfortable with him

00:49:34You know I know

00:49:36I talk about him kissing me and touching me

00:49:38But he was the most comforting part

00:49:40Of that moment

00:49:42I was just so uncomfortable

00:49:44You're pretty used to being on cameras at that point

00:49:46But it's like you know there's all eyes on you

00:49:48So I was really leaning

00:49:50Into him for comfort but still

00:49:52Like this is a stranger

00:49:54Like

00:49:56I just didn't know how to

00:49:58Honestly I wish he kissed me more to shut me up

00:50:00Because I was filling the blank spaces

00:50:02With stupid words

00:50:04So was it a surprise

00:50:06To you when you learned

00:50:08That you were not going to Mexico

00:50:10No honestly I knew

00:50:12I really truly knew

00:50:14We were the weakest link

00:50:16I never told him I loved him

00:50:18Therefore we had alternate plans

00:50:20Already set up

00:50:22Were you guys given a reason

00:50:24Did they explain to you why you didn't go

00:50:26Yeah we were the weakest link

00:50:28You know of course they take it seriously

00:50:30They follow couples that they think

00:50:33Are going to make it to the altar

00:50:35And we clearly did not

00:50:37They were right

00:50:39I was crushed who doesn't want to go to Cabo

00:50:41With all of your friends

00:50:43And you know women that you're excited to see

00:50:45That you've heard about all of their fiancés

00:50:47But I understood where they were coming from

00:50:49I mean everybody takes this really seriously

00:50:51And I completely understood

00:50:53Doesn't mean I wasn't sad though

00:50:55Well a lot of viewers are dying to know

00:50:57What actually happened in Miami

00:50:59And lucky for all of you

00:51:02Show me what you're cooking

00:51:04Oh let me see them move

00:51:06You got the whole world looking like this

00:51:08You're the kind of man she can't get hold of you

00:51:10It's what matters guys

00:51:12Diamonds and Rolexes

00:51:14It's right here for dreams

00:51:16No but seriously in all seriousness

00:51:18You spoke about your superpowers

00:51:20You know my hair my twinkly eyes

00:51:22And you finally got that back

00:51:24And you were able to go to Miami

00:51:26With Leo

00:51:28How was that for you

00:51:31We had honestly a very good time

00:51:33I think

00:51:35Vacation truly is the make or break

00:51:37In a relationship

00:51:39And we did not pass that test

00:51:41But we did have so much fun

00:51:43We hung out with my best friend a lot

00:51:45She's here

00:51:47And she lives in Miami

00:51:49All my friends love Leo

00:51:51I love Leo

00:51:53I think that's something no one really knows

00:51:55We're very good friends now

00:51:57Is this the first time you've said I love Leo

00:52:00You guys can go to Cabo now

00:52:05On camera I truly do love Leo

00:52:07Though now as a person

00:52:09We're very very close

00:52:11But traveling together you know there's just some quirks

00:52:13That you realize you don't

00:52:15You're not compatible with

00:52:17Long term or in a romantic way

00:52:19For example

00:52:21He's gonna kill me but

00:52:23He would whenever we had a drink

00:52:25He would take a sip of my drink

00:52:27No matter what it was

00:52:29We would have the same martini

00:52:31And he would just take a sip of mine

00:52:33And I'm like Leo you have your own

00:52:35Why were you taking drinks out of her drink

00:52:37I don't know I can't help myself

00:52:41Is this something you know that you do

00:52:43I love to share food

00:52:45I love to share drinks

00:52:47And you know I think

00:52:49Sometimes the little things really do add up

00:52:51But you knew after that your time in Miami

00:52:53You're like eee this is not gonna work

00:52:55And also we're such good friends

00:52:57It was like we really just realized

00:52:59That we were better as friends

00:53:01And I mean honestly we talk about

00:53:03Our own dating lives we talk on the phone

00:53:05Literally like an hour a day it's insane

00:53:07Well are either of you seeing anyone today

00:53:09I am

00:53:11That's all I will say

00:53:13I am

00:53:15Leo are you on the market or are you off the market

00:53:17I'm on the market

00:53:19Leo's on the market

00:53:21Leo can I say something man

00:53:23I would love to have hung out with you in the men's lounge

00:53:25For a couple weeks

00:53:27It's great to talk to you man

00:53:29Likewise Nick

00:53:31Oh man

00:53:33Excuse me guys

00:53:35I've had a tough time sleeping lately

00:53:37No Alex

00:53:39No this is not you

00:53:41My man Steven

00:53:43Hey

00:53:45Sir sleep a lot

00:53:47Sir sleep a lot

00:53:49I think we are all dying to know

00:53:51What exactly was in those

00:53:53Sleep test results

00:53:55In those sleep test results

00:53:57I have sleep apnea

00:53:59Are you on the CPAP

00:54:01No I got cleared for one but

00:54:03Steven tell us what was in the text

00:54:05Oh yeah

00:54:07They're pretty juicy

00:54:09I don't remember

00:54:11I really don't I deleted them

00:54:13So during a sleep study test

00:54:15There were

00:54:17DM's

00:54:19Let's get to the thick of this

00:54:21For the respect of the individual

00:54:23I'm not going to go too deep into it

00:54:25Because they don't need to be brought into this

00:54:27Well you shouldn't have done it on a reality show

00:54:29You're absolutely right

00:54:31Yeah that ship has sailed

00:54:33I take full responsibility

00:54:35You respect that individual

00:54:37But you certainly didn't have respect for me in that moment

00:54:39So that's I don't know

00:54:41You're absolutely right

00:54:43I take full responsibility for my fuck up

00:54:45Me and Monica even talked about this off camera

00:54:47We had a date two weeks after we talked about it

00:54:49To sort of

00:54:51It wasn't a date we went to dinner

00:54:53Well sorry we met up for dinner I apologize

00:54:55We met up for dinner we talked about this

00:54:57I even wrote a letter to her parents apologizing

00:54:59For my actions

00:55:01But did you write that letter so you could say that to everyone today

00:55:03No I wrote that

00:55:05Wow really

00:55:07I wrote that letter because I feel bad about the situation

00:55:09And it was a mistake

00:55:11That I now have to live with

00:55:13I knew you would bring that up

00:55:15As soon as you had the chance to

00:55:17As soon as I got that letter I was like

00:55:19He's doing this so he can say it at the reunion

00:55:21I apologize

00:55:23That wasn't my intention but if that's how it came off

00:55:25I do apologize

00:55:27I mean at the end of the day

00:55:29If you can't trust me then there's nothing that I can say

00:55:31That will change anybody's mind

00:55:33Nobody's really wanted to listen to me from the beginning

00:55:35I understand that

00:55:37I'd love to tell it but to be honest

00:55:39I don't think anybody believes me

00:55:41Wants to hear so at the end of the day

00:55:43Why should I

00:55:45Nobody wants to believe me

00:55:47Nobody cares about my side of the story

00:55:49I acknowledge 100%

00:55:51That I messed up

00:55:53I've done everything that I thought I could do

00:55:55I talked to my parents

00:55:57I asked them what I should do

00:55:59I've done what I'm supposed to do

00:56:01I've read books

00:56:03I go to therapy

00:56:05I do all these things

00:56:07At the end of the day nobody cares

00:56:09No because if they did

00:56:11I understand

00:56:13That I completely fucked up

00:56:15At how much more responsibility

00:56:17Do I have to take

00:56:19I had a moment of weakness

00:56:21Where somebody texted me

00:56:23And they were talking about a heart condition

00:56:25And then immediately after that

00:56:27They go into

00:56:29So I've gotten into some interesting fetishes lately

00:56:31Understanding that this is probably a reaction

00:56:33Or a conversation that I should not entertain

00:56:35I was still curious how you made this jump

00:56:37So I said what kind of fetishes

00:56:39Yeah I entertained that conversation

00:56:41And I knew I shouldn't

00:56:43And then I put my phone down in a sleep study

00:56:45And I said you know what

00:56:47I've done this before

00:56:49I know where it ends

00:56:51This is the man I don't want to be

00:56:53But I never deleted it

00:56:55Because to me I emotionally conquered a demon

00:56:57That I've been fighting for a while

00:56:59We have a picture

00:57:01He was at a sleep study

00:57:03So that part is true

00:57:05This was from that night

00:57:07He spoke about cheating

00:57:09He said I slipped into a girls DM's

00:57:11And your reaction was surprising

00:57:13In the sense of I'm so sorry

00:57:15Thank you for sharing that

00:57:17But it was an interesting in hindsight red flag

00:57:19Do you think looking now at the situation

00:57:21That maybe you had rose colored glasses

00:57:23And maybe you ignored some of these signs

00:57:25Because you wanted to be married

00:57:27And find your person

00:57:29Honestly no

00:57:31I don't think so

00:57:33I think Stephen and I's conversation in the pod

00:57:35Was obviously much longer

00:57:37Much longer than you all get to see

00:57:39And that was the first of many of them

00:57:41And I've dated a lot of cheaters

00:57:43And not anyone

00:57:45Until Stephen had been honest

00:57:47About an indiscretion

00:57:49So I very much appreciated the fact

00:57:51That he was telling me this

00:57:53So early into our relationship

00:57:55I actually saw it as a yellow flag

00:57:57Maybe not like a green flag

00:57:59But he was being honest about it

00:58:01And he said in that conversation

00:58:03That he'd been in therapy ever since

00:58:05It was the biggest mistake he ever made

00:58:07He was really really hard on himself

00:58:09Once he got caught

00:58:11There was a lot that he did

00:58:13In terms of trying to do the work

00:58:15And still doing the work

00:58:17I never in a million years

00:58:19Even though he shared that with me

00:58:21That he'd done it before

00:58:23He made me feel so safe

00:58:25That when I say I never saw it coming

00:58:27Never in a million years

00:58:29So people might watch the show and think differently

00:58:31That there were signs there

00:58:33Maybe we weren't going to make it all the way

00:58:35We certainly weren't supposed to

00:58:37That's for sure

00:58:39But I never in a million years

00:58:41Would have thought he would have

00:58:43Emotionally cheated on me

00:58:45Do you regret it?

00:58:47Yeah, fucking of course

00:58:49Do you still talk to this woman?

00:58:51This is the weird part

00:58:53Nobody's going to believe this

00:58:55But I only talked to her that one day

00:58:57I've never met this girl in person

00:58:59I only talked to her that one day

00:59:01I know what it sounds like

00:59:03But that's the truth

00:59:05I haven't talked to her since

00:59:07Monica?

00:59:11I don't know

00:59:13I know that the

00:59:15That those texts were

00:59:17Very long

00:59:19Like they went a ways back

00:59:21You didn't start texting her

00:59:23That day on Instagram

00:59:25No, I've known her for years

00:59:27I don't delete my text threads

00:59:29And that's the other thing

00:59:31Monica knew I didn't have a password on my phone

00:59:33I didn't know that

00:59:35I didn't know if you had a password

00:59:37You've been saying that too

00:59:39You should have a password on your phone

00:59:41I wasn't sneaking in your phone

00:59:43We talked about it in the pods

00:59:45My phone, especially in a relationship

00:59:47Is completely open to my partner

00:59:49Because if I'm doing something wrong

00:59:51I deserve to get caught

00:59:53But just stop doing something wrong

00:59:55You're absolutely right

00:59:57From sleep tests

00:59:59To sleeping while

01:00:01The in-laws are in town

01:00:03Oh that transition

01:00:05A nap landed her in the dog house

01:00:07Woof woof baby

01:00:09Woof woof

01:00:11Hi Alex

01:00:13You're looking fly

01:00:15Cut the hair

01:00:17You know they always say whenever women cut their hair

01:00:19You cut off all the old energy

01:00:21Hi Tim

01:00:23I'm hanging on to what I got

01:00:25Hey that's how I feel

01:00:27Hey look, still in the fight

01:00:29So Alex, all joking aside

01:00:31Tim said your argument on the getaways

01:00:33Was so bad that he almost left early

01:00:35Can you shed any more light on what

01:00:37We didn't get to see on camera

01:00:39What you didn't get to see was

01:00:41A verbal disagreement

01:00:43As you saw, I'm very close to my family

01:00:45And my dad had been

01:00:47Admitted to a rehab facility

01:00:49A week before I left

01:00:51And being three weeks

01:00:53Not talking to them

01:00:55It just kind of

01:00:57Weighed in on me at that moment

01:00:59And I just wanted space

01:01:01Go to bed, take a shower

01:01:03Go to bed, that's literally all I wanted to do

01:01:05But unfortunately I wasn't

01:01:07Given the space that I was wanting

01:01:09Which turned into

01:01:11A disagreement

01:01:13Simple as that

01:01:15Tim, first and foremost

01:01:17I don't want it to come across like there's any

01:01:19Actual animosity here

01:01:21I still wish her the best

01:01:23There's a reason I fell in love with this woman

01:01:25And I acknowledge all the beautiful things about that

01:01:27My version of events

01:01:29She had left before me the pool party

01:01:31So I'm trying to catch her

01:01:33But I could tell she's upset

01:01:35So in my head I'm thinking

01:01:37Okay, this is my fiancé

01:01:39I want to be there for her

01:01:41So I approach her, I'm saying

01:01:43Hey, are you okay, what's going on

01:01:45We're in this hotel bathroom

01:01:47And you're crying on the floor

01:01:49So I'm trying to be there for you

01:01:51I understood that she was upset

01:01:53About something with her family

01:01:55But I'm also trying to understand

01:01:57Because at the same time

01:01:59I'm trying to figure out what's going on

01:02:01So it quickly turns contentious

01:02:03And it got to the point where yes

01:02:05I did feel like things got out of hand

01:02:07From a boundary standpoint

01:02:09To where yes, what happened

01:02:11With the hand being put over my mouth

01:02:13Was put over my mouth

01:02:15I know the medium that I'm on

01:02:17I know that I'm a 225, 6 foot black man

01:02:19I don't want to get portrayed

01:02:21As this angry person

01:02:23To where we are fighting

01:02:25And squabbling it out on camera

01:02:27And understanding there's producers

01:02:29Outside the door, etc, etc

01:02:31But also if I'm talking to someone I love

01:02:33Y'all hear it in my voice right now

01:02:35I can't be quiet

01:02:37I'm not here to

01:02:39I don't force my opinion on anybody

01:02:41But don't ask me what I think

01:02:43Whatever partner I have in this world

01:02:45I'm hoping that they understand that about me

01:02:47I took everything with this process

01:02:49And how I felt about her

01:02:51So seriously from the jump

01:02:53And I don't want it to come across

01:02:55Because things ended how it did

01:02:57There wasn't something beautiful

01:02:59About what connected us

01:03:01I hate the fact that our worst moment

01:03:03Is the moment everybody wants to hear about the most

01:03:05I will say, I think

01:03:07You are definitely looking at it in a magnifying glass

01:03:09Every single one of you

01:03:11I know that the world is coming down on you individually

01:03:13I know it's hard to see outside of the box

01:03:15Trust me when I tell you I know

01:03:17But I think the reason that people do go to that fight

01:03:19Because A, we didn't see it

01:03:21So all we can do is speculate

01:03:23So thank you for clarifying some of it

01:03:25And I will ask you because I know you were agreeing and disagreeing

01:03:27With some of the things he was saying

01:03:29But B, it's because when we watched you in the pods

01:03:31You did and are so genuine

01:03:33To the point that you talked so deeply

01:03:35About things that mattered so much

01:03:37Everyone got so invested

01:03:39It felt as if after the Cabo trip

01:03:41That was the moment

01:03:43That it started to unravel, if you will

01:03:45If I saw the look on Nick's face

01:03:47That you had the day in Cabo

01:03:49I would have thought he checked out

01:03:51People say, okay, I'm checked out

01:03:53I'm trying to process, okay, the person that I have been

01:03:55And am being clearly is a work

01:03:57I've never been in an argument like that

01:03:59With somebody I consider myself loving

01:04:01Ever in my life

01:04:03So let me figure out what it is

01:04:05That my now fiance needs out of me

01:04:07That she needs

01:04:09Because I am trying to make this work

01:04:11I just want to make it very clear

01:04:13Nothing on my end

01:04:15Was physically assaulting him

01:04:17And he can agree with that

01:04:19I'm literally put in a position

01:04:21Where I'm trying to prevent production

01:04:23To come and see this fight

01:04:25Like this argument

01:04:27That we're having

01:04:29And I don't want it to look like

01:04:31We're in a bad space

01:04:33Or that I don't want cameras to come

01:04:35And make him look bad

01:04:37Simple as that

01:04:39I was trying to protect him

01:04:41I just wanted to deescalate

01:04:43This entire situation

01:04:45So that we could just go to sleep

01:04:47And revisit it in the morning

01:04:49But now it's turned into

01:04:51An assault thing

01:04:53Which it wasn't

01:04:55Clearly if you did

01:04:57He would say

01:04:59It was an assault

01:05:01But I reject you saying that I yelled at you

01:05:03The rejection had to come in and calm you down

01:05:05You were very upset

01:05:07I was upset after you touched me

01:05:09I'm not saying this to be shady

01:05:11I was more offended at being called outside of my name

01:05:13What did you call him other than his name?

01:05:15Well because he was disrespecting me

01:05:17For like over an hour

01:05:19I said you're acting like a little ass bitch

01:05:21And I'm not taking it anymore

01:05:23That's crazy

01:05:25Why would you say that to any grown man

01:05:27Out here trying to love you

01:05:29And it was crazy how you belittled me

01:05:31Y'all asked me to take you seriously

01:05:33And why would you belittle me like that

01:05:35So why you got your finger in my face and yelling at me

01:05:37Because I don't want to talk to you

01:05:39Because I'm upset about my father

01:05:41Had nothing to do with you at all

01:05:43I literally just wanted to take a shower and go to bed

01:05:45And that wasn't good enough

01:05:47It's never good enough

01:05:49It's always what you want

01:05:51But when you want space it's okay

01:05:53But when I wanted space it wasn't good enough

01:05:55Let's remember that

01:05:57It's always on your terms Tim

01:05:59You just talk for like 10 minutes in circles

01:06:01You literally are so long winded

01:06:03And only listen to yourself

01:06:05I'm literally being berated

01:06:07I'm just trying to speak my truth

01:06:09So I can't speak my truth

01:06:11Without apparently yelling at you

01:06:13And getting called a bitch

01:06:15Come on man

01:06:17Don't try to spin it like somebody's trying to make you like that

01:06:19Because I tried to protect you throughout our entire relationship

01:06:21Which is why you look amazing

01:06:23Like why are you trying to come for me

01:06:25When all I'm doing is showing you love

01:06:27Why what did I do

01:06:29What did I do to you

01:06:31Well look I think it's safe to say that

01:06:33He felt disrespected in that moment

01:06:35And I think another moment we all saw

01:06:37Where you felt disrespected is when

01:06:39You took a nap

01:06:41When his parents came to visit

01:06:43Looking back on that why did you decide to take a nap

01:06:45Knowing his parents had driven all the way to see and spend time with you

01:06:47And do you regret

01:06:49Maybe some of the ways you handled

01:06:51That day

01:06:53So what unfortunately wasn't shown is

01:06:55I work so much

01:06:57I work in fashion

01:06:59I bartend and that night

01:07:01I had to bartend for the first time

01:07:03We were with his parents

01:07:05At like 11am

01:07:07Until about 6-7pm

01:07:09And I had to work at 9pm

01:07:11At the bar

01:07:13Till 3am

01:07:15And I simply wanted a nap after we had lunch

01:07:17We talked for like 4-5 hours

01:07:19And I literally just wanted

01:07:21One hour nap before I go into work

01:07:23That's all it was

01:07:25It was the only time that I actually bartended

01:07:27During our entire relationship

01:07:29Okay well Tim

01:07:31I know I speak for a lot of us

01:07:33Who watch on this stage when I say that

01:07:35One of the most touching moments in the entire season

01:07:37Was watching you ask Alex's father

01:07:39For his blessing

01:07:41And a lot of us are also having a hard time

01:07:43Understanding how you

01:07:45Did that but then called it quits a few days later

01:07:47The engagement ended

01:07:49Because I felt like the level of respect

01:07:51That I was given wasn't being given in return

01:07:53Every day in this process feels like a week

01:07:55What we bonded over most

01:07:57Was how much we love our family

01:07:59The entire time we met

01:08:01She wanted me to show her father

01:08:03Some respect and love

01:08:05And I wanted to respect and love my fiancé

01:08:07So she asked me and I showed up

01:08:09For her family

01:08:11Because I thought this was going to be my family

01:08:13I was trying to give this my all

01:08:15Because I loved this woman

01:08:17And I meant that

01:08:19I felt like

01:08:21When it was my turn it wasn't returned

01:08:23And she said she has to work which is fine

01:08:25I get it everybody makes a living

01:08:27She didn't mention that she was in the club till 4 in the morning the night before

01:08:29She didn't mention

01:08:31That the day after that

01:08:33She didn't text me till 10 in the morning

01:08:35And the day I tried to warn her

01:08:37About her flat tire she called a flat tire

01:08:39Even though I tried to tell her about her tire pressure

01:08:41I'm trying to show love all day

01:08:43And you wait until the afternoon to try to speak to me

01:08:45When you say we always have to talk on your terms

01:08:47I've been waiting all day to hear from you

01:08:49You didn't even let me know you made it home

01:08:51And you're supposed to be my fiancé

01:08:53So I'm not even worried about accountability

01:08:55I'm just worried about your safety

01:08:57Okay Alex you were while he was talking

01:08:59Shaking your head

01:09:01Looking over

01:09:03There's just so many things that have been said that

01:09:05Are bold faced lies

01:09:07First off the first thing he said

01:09:09I was not out the night before

01:09:11We went to dinner at Mi Vida the night before

01:09:13The night before we met your dad

01:09:15The night before I met your parents

01:09:17Before I met your parents we went to dinner

01:09:19Which is what you were just speaking on

01:09:21You said I just showed up like nothing

01:09:23The night before we met your dad

01:09:25Can I speak?

01:09:27You're saying I'm lying and making something up

01:09:29Can I speak?

01:09:31Thank you

01:09:33When we went to meet your family

01:09:35We went to dinner before that

01:09:37And if you see that I look a little upset

01:09:39It's because I was

01:09:41The night before when we went to dinner

01:09:43The day that he met my family

01:09:45I was asking him how do you feel

01:09:47Where's your head at

01:09:49I'm so thankful you read that beautiful letter

01:09:51To my dad

01:09:53It was a very emotional day

01:09:55All the things

01:09:57And he answered that

01:09:59He had doubts

01:10:01And I just was kind of taken back

01:10:03Because I'm just like

01:10:05How do you do that whole performance

01:10:07And then say

01:10:09I have doubts

01:10:11And then you took his hand and said

01:10:13I accept you as my son

01:10:15And three hours later you say

01:10:17I have doubts

01:10:19And then a day after that

01:10:21We're ending an engagement

01:10:23Why even get him involved

01:10:25You know how much that meant to me

01:10:27You already had these doubts

01:10:29And if you had these doubts

01:10:31Why did we meet my family

01:10:33That's what I had an issue with

01:10:35And to sit here

01:10:37And try to be like

01:10:39I have so much respect for you

01:10:41But you broke up with me because of allegedly a nap

01:10:43Or I didn't do the dishes

01:10:45The hate that you projected

01:10:47Onto me

01:10:49On that breakup

01:10:51Was mind blowing

01:10:53It's like I killed your dog

01:10:55It felt like this was a situation for you to have it out

01:10:57And you took it and ran with it

01:10:59So was this relationship real

01:11:01Do you have respect for me

01:11:03Because I don't feel like you do

01:11:05First of all you wonder why I don't talk to you

01:11:07You laugh at everything that she says

01:11:09You literally have been laughing

01:11:11At everything she says

01:11:13That's disrespectful

01:11:15You have no room to call her disrespectful

01:11:17She is telling

01:11:19Look I get it this is your version of the truth

01:11:21But I feel very attacked

01:11:23To where it's like you're saying

01:11:25That I didn't do something honestly

01:11:27When again this entire time

01:11:29You were asking me

01:11:31To do everything I can for your family

01:11:33So I did it and I don't feel like I was getting anything in return

01:11:35That entire week

01:11:37I am telling you hey can we work on this

01:11:39Can we work on this

01:11:41And I felt like I was getting nothing in return

01:11:43Why would I want to meet your parents

01:11:45When you just told me you had doubts

01:11:47After you played in my dad's face

01:11:49You played in his face

01:11:51You said you wanted to be with me

01:11:53And you had doubts the entire time

01:11:55And then you fell asleep on my bed

01:11:57I'm sorry I'm going to do this to save both y'all

01:11:59I think it's safe to say since you haven't spoken in a year

01:12:01Sorry to the audience I'm sure you want the juice

01:12:03I think it's safe to say since you haven't spoken in a year

01:16:23Welcome back

01:16:25Thank you

01:16:27We'll start, well ladies first

01:16:29Nancy, what's going on with you?

01:16:31How have you been? How's life?

01:16:33What I've been up to in life

01:16:35So I moved to the best city in the world

01:16:37I moved to New York City

01:16:39And I think what was so great

01:16:41Is that for the first time in my life as an adult

01:16:43I made a decision to move to a city that was for me

01:16:45Not for a job, not for a relationship

01:16:47Not for school

01:16:49It was where do I want to go

01:16:51And that was a big part of my learning

01:16:53And my discovery

01:16:55My partner, he is here

01:16:57He's being shy

01:16:59Well congratulations

01:17:01Thank you so much

01:17:03And Marshall, what's been going on in your world man?

01:17:09I'm living here now

01:17:11Sorry Zack and Bliss, I'm no longer in Seattle

01:17:13And

01:17:15I am single

01:17:17I am chasing my mountaintop

01:17:19Doing the things that I need to do

01:17:21As a

01:17:23I often say this as a man

01:17:25But as a human, as an adult

01:17:27And things are going great, I can't complain

01:17:29Well thank you for coming and spending the night with us

01:17:31Absolutely

01:17:33One of our favorite parts about each season is meeting the families

01:17:35You guys are so brave and you're so incredible

01:17:37For sitting here through all of this

01:17:39I would love to get into your brain right now

01:17:41Taylor's parents

01:17:43Fong and Tom, welcome

01:17:45Hey guys

01:17:47Hi

01:17:49How was it being able to see first hand

01:17:51Their love story kind of unfold

01:17:55It was exciting

01:17:57And very touching

01:17:59That they found each other

01:18:01And

01:18:05Very happy

01:18:07Very happy that they found each other

01:18:09And they're in love

01:18:11It wasn't the way we scripted it

01:18:13But

01:18:15Thank you Netflix

01:18:17Because all the money I had saved for that

01:18:19Grandiose wedding

01:18:21Netflix

01:18:27Has Garrett taken you fishing yet though Tom?

01:18:29Am I going to start something right now?

01:18:31No but we've had a couple golfing experiences

01:18:35I love the term experience

01:18:37Don't forget to yell four

01:18:41I know that this was a big thing for you guys

01:18:43Was where you were going to live

01:18:45And you talked about San Diego a lot

01:18:47How do you feel today on that transition

01:18:49As a married couple

01:18:51Right now we're living in Fredericksburg

01:18:53And that's where we've been for the past year

01:18:55And now we're looking at

01:18:57Ironically enough

01:18:59We're looking at moving to D.C.

01:19:01Because we spent a lot of time in San Diego

01:19:03And a lot of time abroad

01:19:05And Taylor and I went through some moments

01:19:07Where it was, as you saw on the show

01:19:09It was very difficult for me to be away

01:19:11From my family and friends

01:19:13And to process that

01:19:15I wanted to give that to Taylor so bad

01:19:17So we tried it, we spent a lot of time away

01:19:19But it was very difficult for me

01:19:21To go through that

01:19:23And I ended up sharing that with Taylor

01:19:25And it was difficult

01:19:27And so her being incredibly understanding

01:19:29And patient wife that she is

01:19:31We talked about it and she agreed

01:19:33Maybe we'd do something a bit more neutral ground

01:19:35Something closer to home

01:19:37So D.C. seemed like the next natural fit

01:19:39So we're excited about starting a life there together

01:19:41And seeing where it goes

01:19:43I've been married for five years

01:19:45And the show had approached me

01:19:47And I was kind of ready to go home

01:19:49But I figured, ah, this will be my last tour off

01:19:51Why not?

01:19:53So you can clearly see how amazing my parents are

01:19:55And how I was ready to be by them

01:19:57But it's

01:19:59When you get married

01:20:01You become a unit

01:20:03And I love you guys so much

01:20:05And I don't know what the future has

01:20:07But home is with Garrett

01:20:09And so I'm excited to figure out

01:20:11This next chapter with you

01:20:13Wow

01:20:15I'm getting all choked up

01:20:17Me and A.T. right now

01:20:19Garrett, you mentioned

01:20:21That you guys have been doing a lot of traveling

01:20:23In this first year of marriage

01:20:25I think we have some footage of that

01:20:27Let's take a look

01:20:41Hello love

01:20:43Hello love

01:20:45About time for tea and crumpet, yeah?

01:21:05Cherry blossoms

01:21:07Yes

01:21:10I'm glad you cut that stash off

01:21:12Well see, okay

01:21:14Kyler just said I'm glad you cut that stash off

01:21:16So

01:21:18Let's talk about

01:21:20The glow up of Garrett

01:21:22I mean

01:21:24You're going viral on the internet right now

01:21:26With the hair, with the five o'clock shadow

01:21:28You modeled in fashion week

01:21:30Is this like the wifey effect?

01:21:32Or is this all you?

01:21:34No, no, this is all

01:21:36Garrett for sure

01:21:39I saw the potential first

01:21:41And I've always thought that you were

01:21:43Very sexy

01:21:45This is all you, so you were just like

01:21:47I'm going to grow out my hair

01:21:49I've always had a latent interest in fashion

01:21:51And I think we all have lots of different latent interests

01:21:53And being married to a very fashionable and beautiful woman

01:21:55I don't know, I just felt like

01:21:57I finally found somebody worth

01:21:59Looking good for, worth paying attention to my looks

01:22:01And so she opened up that door for me

01:22:03And we're running with it

01:22:05Well it sounds like the move to D.C. is imminent

01:22:07Aside from that move, what else is next for you guys?

01:22:09What's on the horizon?

01:22:11I'm going to follow him on Instagram I think

01:22:13You'll like it

01:22:15And a vacation

01:22:17And a vacation

01:22:19I think for us

01:22:21We are people that are very rigid

01:22:23And want to plan everything

01:22:25But when we let the universe open up

01:22:27We found each other

01:22:29Which has been the best adventure of them all

01:22:31And so I think next for us is just

01:22:33Being open to everything and anything

01:22:35Spending more time with friends and family

01:22:37Now that we're a bi-coastal couple

01:22:39Is also a top priority for us

01:22:41I'm extremely restless

01:22:43When I don't know the answer to something

01:22:45And I think I spent a lot of the beginning of our marriage

01:22:47Trying to know where we're going

01:22:49What's going to happen

01:22:51And it was not easy or fun

01:22:53But once I decided to just let go

01:22:55And let us be us

01:22:57And take one step at a time

01:22:59I really fell into this

01:23:01And I'm really happy

01:23:03And look where it led both of you guys

01:23:05Well congratulations

01:23:07As one of our married couples this season

01:23:09We both look forward to seeing you on the other side

01:23:11In one of our next reunions

01:23:13But I do want to go back to our other married couple

01:23:15You guys mentioned in Cabo

01:23:17A tattoo, right?

01:23:19We kind of glazed over that

01:23:21No we haven't talked about it

01:23:23I haven't got her name tattooed on me

01:23:25But I'm not opposed to it still to this day

01:23:27I'm glad they brought that up

01:23:29You forgot about that part?

01:23:31I got some space for it

01:23:33We'll talk about it

01:23:35Would you really? Still on the chest?

01:23:37You guys talked a lot about wanting to start your own

01:23:39Holiday tradition

01:23:41So with the holidays coming up

01:23:43What do you guys got planned?

01:23:45We had our first ornament that we had

01:23:47What else did we do?

01:23:49We went to a cabin

01:23:51You know one of those mini getaway cabins

01:23:53We did that

01:23:55We're going to create a new ornament every year

01:23:57We'll do one next year

01:23:59We're going to split up with the families

01:24:01Last year we were with Ashley's family

01:24:03Which loved them

01:24:05Took me in like I was one of their own

01:24:07Had a great time

01:24:09I think this year we'll split between Pittsburgh and Maryland

01:24:11We have some great footage of you guys

01:24:13In your last year of marriage

01:24:15So let's take a look at that

01:24:17This is Ashley and Tyler

01:24:29This is our matching

01:24:31Christmas pyjama

01:24:33Christmas e-vibe

01:24:35With him over here

01:24:37And his matching pyjamas

01:24:39And Cobes

01:25:03Love seeing that

01:25:05Guys every season we fall in love with a new group

01:25:07Of hopeful singles and find so much happiness

01:25:09In watching the married couples thrive

01:25:11From what they discovered through this experiment

01:25:13This Valentine's Day

01:25:152025 will mark

01:25:17The 5 year anniversary

01:25:19Of the premiere of Love is Blind

01:25:21And it is going to be the launch

01:25:23Of season 8 which takes place

01:25:25In Minneapolis

01:25:27Here to kick off that season

01:25:29We have 3 of the season 8 participants

01:25:31In the audience here

01:25:33Can you guys wave

01:25:35What's up

01:25:37Hi Alex

01:25:39We got a shotgun over there I can't see

01:25:41And Joey

01:25:43Again from Minneapolis

01:25:45Alex can you wave to everybody

01:25:47Hi

01:25:49How are you

01:25:51I'm good

01:25:53Without giving too much away

01:25:55What was it about living in Minneapolis

01:25:57That was having you struggle with finding the one

01:25:59That made you finally say I'm going to go on Love is Blind

01:26:01I personally just prioritized other things in my life

01:26:03And work and friends and travel

01:26:05It's such a small community

01:26:07It's not like a major city

01:26:09You kind of see the same people over and over

01:26:11And it's a small bar scene

01:26:13So yeah I just never found the right person

01:26:15That clicked for me

01:26:17But I'm excited to be here

01:26:19This is a once in a lifetime opportunity

01:26:21To really learn about who you are

01:26:23How you communicate

01:26:25And how well you work in a relationship

01:26:27And I know I've taken a lot of those lessons

01:26:29Into my marriage

01:26:31And just into life itself

01:26:33So I would say just jump in and be yourself

01:26:35And good luck

01:26:37I'm not going to let it go

01:26:39It's time to wrap it up

01:26:41Okay anyways
