Host (Becca Kufrin)
All right, welcome back. This is a special Bachelor happy hour with the happy couples. You guys look so freaking cute. I love you so much. I'm so happy that the show ended the way it did. Spencer and Jess, Congratulations.
- [04:41]
Spencer
Thank you, thank you.
- [04:42]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
I mean, and also of course Andrew and Alex. Congratulations. I have to be honest, like just on a personal note, I always knew you guys were going to end up together. Like I think I told you halfway through the show I was like by the way, you're not gonna be on this show.
- [04:59]
Jess
I remember by the Way in the background.
- [05:02]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
No one's gonna see love so now. But the couple that, you know, really surprised me was you guys. And I really loved watching your. Your kind of relationship grow. Did you have any idea that you'd be sitting here now going back to those early days of paradise?
- [05:21]
Andrew
I think we didn't think so far ahead, so it's, like, hard to say, but, like, I knew that our, like, we had something there. I. I tell her this all the time, and she remembers the first thing I said. I was like, I don't know what it is, but I. There's something between us. So, like, before, like, choosing to go with Bailey or Alex still on a date, like, I just, like, I didn't know what it was, but I was gravitating towards Alex. But I. I kind of did that. My first paradise where I went with the girl that I knew. So I wanted to do paradise differently and I wanted to put all my eggs in one bat. So I put one egg there and I put all 99 in hers. So, like, I was just like. I don't know, there's just like this magnetic connection. And I know a lot of people didn't get a chance to see that. That doesn't take away from the fact that we were just, like, having the time of our lives. And I think that was important first. Yeah, we just. We just enjoyed being around each other. I think her laugh is so infectious to the point where, like, I'm like, all right, well, no one else is here because I'm just gonna keep making her laugh because I like it. Oh.
- [06:21]
Alex
I also wanted to go at it differently where, you know, if you look at my journey at the beginning, I was with one guy, with Ricky, and we had a lot of chemistry and we wanted to make out all the time. No offense, sorry. But I wanted to really go in it with the idea of, like, a long term relationship. And I didn't want, you know, the. The lust or whatever it is to kind of blur my decision, if that makes sense. And I feel like we had such a good friendship foundation, and I think that's so important for, like, long term relationships. And we can't keep our hands off each other anyway. So I think it. Yeah, we have both.
- [06:57]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
Was there a moment during filming that you were like, oh, this is something different.
- [07:05]
Alex
I told you that the other night.
- [07:07]
Andrew
Well, I think one of the things was, I. I know mine. We were laying in the day bed and they won two. Yeah. It was literally day one. And she's like, all right, I'M gonna take a nap. And she turns over, and I'm just, like, looking up again. I can tell she's gonna turn back around and, like, keep talking, so I just want to know. So I was just, like. I was like, oh, yeah, this is perfect. This is when I knew, like, this is, like, you know, so this could definitely be my person, because it just felt so comfort. So much comfort, and it felt really natural, like, as if you weren't even on the show. Yeah. Like, I just felt like we were.
- [07:44]
Alex
Just so eased and relaxed, and you kind of gave us kind of not confirmation, but sometimes you would say things, and I was like, oh, I feel like Wells approved. Like, well, Wells. Wells approves. Tongue twister for me. And I know. Just having, like, an unbiased opinion, I feel like I was like, I think we're pretty solid. Like, he sees what we. We feel.
- [08:03]
Andrew
Yeah.
- [08:03]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
We hung out with you a lot.
- [08:04]
Alex
Yeah.
- [08:05]
Andrew
Sitting there.
- [08:05]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
Yeah, you guys did.
- [08:06]
Alex
Yeah.
- [08:07]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
Sorry. That was the incorrect answer. Alex, the moment that you knew that he was the one was when he couldn't get up because he.
- [08:15]
Sponsor Voice
Giant boner.
- [08:17]
Alex
I can't believe my grandma saw that. But I thought, yeah, that. See, that's.
- [08:23]
Andrew
But I think that's so hot.
- [08:24]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
What would that have done, right?
- [08:26]
Andrew
But it was just like. I was just. Like, I was just dying. I was just. I can't tonight.
- [08:30]
Alex
I can't tonight. But see, just the way you reacted to that, I think a lot of people would be like, okay, that's way too much. And you just, like, jumped in on the joke. I was like, that's my guy. Like, I feel, like, not. Well, you're very, like, unfiltered, for sure.
- [08:42]
Andrew
Filtered. And I love that you're always. You're. You're always yourself. And, you know, sometimes when you say words like that that make me feel good, I feel good. So.
- [08:49]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
Right down in the southern hemisphere.
- [08:53]
Andrew
Yeah. You know, don't stop saying those things to me.
- [08:57]
Alex
In my defense, I would also say, you know what? Oh, I get the tingles. That's the equivalent, I would say. I tell them all the time. I have the tingles right now.
- [09:05]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
Anyways.
- [09:06]
Alex
All right, guys, let's move on to the sweet, wholesome couple here.
- [09:09]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
No, I'm gonna.
- [09:10]
Andrew
I'm gonna.
- [09:11]
Jess
He's not done with you two.
- [09:13]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
Yeah, I'm gonna go back and. Okay, you guys know what's the funniest or most. Most ridiculous thing you've seen written about your relationship online?
- [09:24]
Andrew
Oh, can I take this?
- [09:26]
Alex
Oh, please.
- [09:27]
Andrew
Everyone's, like, saying that Like, I, like, Alex only didn't tell Jeremy because I wanted Bailey or she. She wanted herself for me. I was like, that was not even the case, like, whatsoever, because you can attest to this. Like, I came back. I was just like, I. I really need to, like, see, like, what Alex is thinking, like, how she's gonna feel about this in the morning. So I beeline to her in the morning. First off, our conversation happened before their conversation happened. And in the whole massage thing, like, the first thing in the morning, I went and talked to Alex. Like, that was like the first thing on my mind. It wasn't like, anything was bad between Bailey and I. Like, I just, like, we both knew. Like, we're just like, ah, all right, well, we, we tried. We, like, we. We explored it. And I just knew, like, I was just like, okay, well, I decided just for myself so I wouldn't be like, oh, later down the line. Like, I didn't do everything I could at paradise, you know, I wouldn't have leave on one stone on left unturned. So, like, I knew it was going to be Alex. I just had to get back to it.
- [10:25]
Alex
And you had to talk me off the ledge. I was going to leave regardless. Even if you wanted to stay and you wanted.
- [10:29]
Andrew
She was ready to go. I think we had a. In a lot of the reasons why we. I didn't take her on the date was because I wasn't 100% sure that she was into me. So I was a little nervous about, like, taking her and then, like, me, you know, imploding, and then, like, I literally have nothing, you know, obviously, like, the last time I was in Paradise, I was literally trying to right my wrongs and I had to talk her off a ledge. She was like, ah, I think I'm good. I'm. I'm done. And I was like, wait. Actually, like, there's reasons why, you know, I didn't take you on a date is because I thought you didn't like me. I heard some or some other sourcing stuff I don't want to get into. I knew also that, like, you know, she would like it if I went, like, didn't choose her right away.
- [11:06]
Alex
And I did. I liked it. I was like, you know me.
- [11:08]
Andrew
You know what I mean?
- [11:09]
Alex
I loved it. I loved it.
- [11:11]
Andrew
I love that that also plays a part in it. And I was just like, okay, perfect. Well, now I know I have your attention and I know that you're interested in me. I was like, I'm full. Go. Like, this is exactly what I wanted.
- [11:21]
Spencer
The conversations that we would have in our room where we would literally sit there in bed and we talk about something we, like. I'd say something I liked about Jess and we go, hehe. And like, here might be like, first of all, she'd say something like that. Alex. Like, hehe. Yeah, that sounds really nice. That's really good. We just talk about how awesome our women were.
- [11:40]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
Yeah.
- [11:41]
Andrew
Having a lot.
- [11:42]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
You guys talked a lot about love levels.
- [11:44]
Andrew
Yeah.
- [11:45]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
What level are you at now?
- [11:48]
Alex
Well, the caption says it for yourself.
- [11:50]
Andrew
I'm in love with her for sure. Like, without a doubt.
- [11:52]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
So does that level.
- [11:53]
Andrew
That's infinity. So at that point, like, it just keeps growing and keeps going. And let's just see how, like, you know, how far I love goes in.
- [12:01]
Alex
But we did have levels just to kind of give context is, you know, I. I had this feeling that I was like, I feel like it's love. I'm not sure if it is. And, you know, I did say, I want to make sure that I really, truly mean it when I say I love you. And I think there's levels you can, you know, love somebody as a friend you can love somebody for.
- [12:17]
Andrew
You know, my love was like, I love this person. Like, I fell in love with the person, and I was just like, let's get to falling in love romantically as a partner. And I think that was, like, the levels to that part, because on a.
- [12:29]
Alex
TV show, it can come off as like, oh, do you love her after a week?
- [12:32]
Andrew
Really? Yeah.
- [12:33]
Alex
So that's level one. Level two. I love you. I love being around you, but it's.
- [12:37]
Andrew
Not, you know, like, I care for everything that's going on in her life. I know so many things about her that a lot of people don't know. Like, that's like, now you're embedding yourself and investing yourself into this person's life. Life. So I'm just like, oh, my God, I love this person. You know what I mean? So it's like, I love you as a friend as well, but, I mean, it's just not romantically.
- [12:54]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
Yeah.
- [12:54]
Alex
That's another level he did.
- [12:56]
Spencer
That's one way to let him down.
- [12:59]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
It's fine. That's cool. Whatever. My favorite thing that happened this season, no offense, guys, was you guys winning the last relationship challenge.
- [13:11]
Andrew
Yes. You have no idea, because I.
- [13:14]
Alex
No one suspected it.
- [13:16]
Spencer
No.
- [13:16]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
I'm amazed at him.
- [13:17]
Andrew
First off. First off, she didn't suspect.
- [13:19]
Alex
I know. I looked.
- [13:20]
Andrew
Which was like, the most bullshit I've ever. You never. You've never thought you were down. Have your partner tell you you're not strong enough.
- [13:26]
Alex
Yeah, because like physically, you know. So I looked at Spencer and I said, good job. Like, you're, you're. You're getting this one. And you did feel kind of.
- [13:33]
Andrew
And then you looked at Dale and I was just like, okay, listen, I was a, I was a pro athlete at once too. Like, don't, you know, don't. Don't write me off. Like, I got some tricks up my sleeve. I can like hold out for a long time. But I mean, like, that's a, that's a tough challenge for everyone, for anyone to do. Obviously Dale had like a lingering injury that he had that was kind of tough and then just you're not also doing it by yourself.
- [13:55]
Alex
But we like communicated as much as you made fun of me for like rolling my, my, my wrist, we would talk. I'd be like every 10 seconds, I need a break.
- [14:02]
Andrew
And we're just, we're like dumb competitive. Like, I found this out. We played volleyball together. I couldn't be on our team.
- [14:07]
Alex
Mediocre.
- [14:08]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
Yeah, mediocre.
- [14:09]
Andrew
I won us the game.
- [14:10]
Alex
But, but if, even if, even if you saw me on my last season in like the bull thing, like, I was not going to let go from that bull and not and lose that challenge. So.
- [14:18]
Andrew
Yeah.
- [14:19]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
Can I give you guys some advice as a married man? If this is how you guys are, do not play Monopoly cuz that tear a family apart.
- [14:28]
Andrew
That. That in container contain.
- [14:33]
Spencer
Family. Oh my God.
- [14:35]

No purchase necessary VGW Group void where prohibited by law 21 + terms and conditions apply. Speaking of Monopoly and money, you know, it seemed like you would have been totally fine with Alex taking the money, which, actually, I think if I saw it on paper, I'd be like, that. I don't like that. But it ended up looking, like, really cute. Are you sure that that's how you really feel?
- [20:10]
Andrew
No. 1,000%. Like, I'm very comfortable right now in life. And like I said, it's not even just the student loans. I think that just kind of got overplayed. It was her whole lifestyle, like, how she grew up and all the things that have happened in her life. I was just like, you need this good thing in your life right now. And, like, then you could figure out if you want love in that, in that space yet. You know what I mean? So I'm just like, figure your life out. Get things going, get the ball rolling. I was like, that'd be perfect. And then like, I think that when I'm sitting up there, I'M like, oh, my God.
- [20:41]
Alex
Wait, hold on.
- [20:43]
Andrew
Do I want this? And it, like, the part was like, I'm looking down at the fucking money. I'm like, oh, my God. I have to watch her money or come up here with me. Like, I'd be okay. She's just like, oh, she. She took the money. I was like, okay, thanks, Jesse. But it's like. It's like I was like, oh, no, she not strutting down the beach with.
- [21:03]
Spencer
A big old bag.
- [21:05]
Andrew
Money falling out.
- [21:06]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
Sunglasses.
- [21:11]
Andrew
Hide the money, y'. All. There's broke people around.
- [21:17]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
Alex, what was the best part about choosing Andrew over the money?
- [21:24]
Alex
I want to really think about this. I think when I saw your reaction, when I saw you tear up because I feel like you're such a big, goofy guy, and we always, like, mask with humor. And then to see you so vulnerable because you really wanted me to take that money, and regardless, it just made that weird. But, no, I just seeing you, it just showed me how much you cared for me and how much you loved me, and I wouldn't have done it any other way. I think it just showed me, you know, sometimes words are words, but to see this vulnerable and I knew I made the right decision.
- [22:05]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
Did you guys in the back of your minds, think, but maybe we'll still get the money?
- [22:08]
Alex
Well, so in my.
- [22:10]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
Yeah, yeah.
- [22:10]
Alex
To be honest, you know, I was like, come on here. We're doing the right thing.
- [22:14]
Andrew
Like, you're doing the right thing. Throw us a bone.
- [22:19]
Alex
No, but, I mean, if money, you know, it would have. I think it would have been different if it was maybe even half a million. That would have been dumb. I think half a million dollars, I.
- [22:26]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
Mean, like, shows love, and we got.
- [22:28]
Andrew
Lucky because we won the last two challenges.
- [22:30]
Alex
Yeah.
- [22:30]
Andrew
So, like, if we didn't win those challenges, I think we would have 1000% been on the chopping block, and we had that conversation already. We were like, dude, honestly, I'm super excited. I just got to meet you here. Like, I've had bad paradise every, like, my last paradise. Like, it's just been a bad experience. Like, you have made this so. So such a blessing for me. And, like, I won't. I wouldn't trade it for anything. That amount of money. Like, I was just so, like, I can't believe this happened to me. And I was pissed about the money, so I was like, oh, my God. I'm gonna make it to the end. Yeah. Like, I've never, like, got to the end of, like, the Bachelor. Whatever. It was, like, My. My own or Bachelorette season or. Or the Paradise. I was like, I just need to make it to the end. Like, that's all I care about. And then, like, they're voting people off. They're voting me off before I get to go, you know, make it to the end. I was so pissed. And you could see, like, the clips of us, me and Spencer yelling like, what the hell is this? We didn't want.

Jess
No, they were mad.

And I just want to say, like, I. You made me laugh so much, Andrew. And I know I'm seeing online like, she makes too many facial expressions. I'm like, you know what? Sorry that I'm happy and I'm having the time of my life with my partner. I'd rather that than be serious. And I. I agree.
- [23:36]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
All right, real quick, have you paid off the loans, the student loans, checking cleared yet?
- [23:41]
Alex
So Alex. I will say Alex was also very responsible and she's traveled a lot with that, you know, so. No, not yet.
- [23:48]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
Okay.
- [23:48]
Spencer
And then.
- [23:49]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
And lastly, what's next for you guys?
- [23:53]
Andrew
We're going to try to make her get to Chicago in January. She still works a really big girl job. She's an slp. So what does that mean? Speech language pathologist. So she's continuing doing that, helping out kids. I've actually, like, sit in and watch the call. Watched her, like, work, and it was.
- [24:12]
Alex
Like, I didn't show.
- [24:12]
Andrew
It was.
- [24:13]
Alex
It was promised to any parent.
- [24:14]
Andrew
It was just super like, oh. It was like. It was, like, nurturing. I was like, damn. Hey, do you want to have a baby? I'm just kidding. But, yeah, I just. I think, like, we're moving at a really good pace and I tell her this all the time and she, like, gets mad at me. She's like, why do you say it like that? I was like, I just like our pace. Like, I don't want to rush it. I think that where we're at, it's gradually getting better and better every single, single time. And, you know, I just think that, I don't know, it's like a happy home. Like, it's like super nice, like, having her at the house when I come home or from, like, whatever we're going and.

Well, congratulations.
- [24:52]
Andrew
Thank you.
- [24:54]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
I think I can speak for Bachelor Nation when I say that. I think everyone's rooting for you guys.
- [24:58]
Alex
Thank you so much. Thank you.
- [24:59]
Andrew
I do want to say one last thing. I want to say something about my partner because I know a lot of, like, things online has been getting misconstrued about, like, who she is a person. And I just want to say that she always went out of her way to say hello to the production. She'd make sure she went to go say hello to people. And she always treated the cast with respect. Whoever calls her always, you know, gets a warm heart from her, a warm greeting. So I just want to make sure that everyone knows about this woman and she's a very good person. And I ain't gonna take no.
- [25:30]
Spencer
If you guys are talking about it, we second that.
- [25:34]
Jess
Yes, we do.
- [25:35]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
Speaking of bachelor nation, rooting for a couple, we've got to talk about Jess and Spencer, you know, you mean Spess. That's what it is.
- [25:49]
Jess
Spencer sounds like Jen and Spencer.
- [25:53]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
Spes sounds like a pesticide.
- [25:55]
Spencer
It sounds like an std, frankly. But, you know, it's my std and I'm proud of it.
- [26:00]
Nexplanon Advertiser
To say.
- [26:02]
Spencer
Test us before the show.
- [26:04]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
I want to know, what were you guys looking for when you came into paradise?
- [26:08]
Spencer
Oh, man. Do you. Would you like to go first? Okay. Ideally, I was looking for love, looking for my person. Did I think there was a high likelihood of that happening? As far as an engagement, absolutely not. And I talked to all my friends and family. I was like, hopefully I can meet someone that I get along well with and we can date long distance after this, see if it makes sense to be able to make our way towards each other and, you know, hope for the best from there. But as far as finding her, I did not expect that at all.
- [26:42]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
Jess, what about you? Because you were looking for him. I saw some of the pre interviews.
- [26:47]
Jess
I was. I was Spencer Guy. So the thing is, I'll be so honest here. I thought he was really cute, and I was really hoping that his personality matched up because you didn't get to see a lot of that on his season. But I was not one to be able to make any judgments because a lot of people judged me on my season, and it didn't really capture who I am as a person. So I was not going to vice versa that. But this is kind of funny. I actually a. I ran out of clothes because I didn't think for a minute that I would be there till the end, much less get engaged. I thought the same. You know, there was a little bit of hope there, but for the majority of it, I was like, you know what? We'll give it another shot. We'll see what happens. You know, who knows? I had a trip planned that I was supposed to leave, like, halfway through paradise. And so when I Got my phone back. My boss is like, what the hell? We went on this trip without you.
- [27:41]
Andrew
And la la, la, la, la.
- [27:43]
Jess
And I'm like, yeah, so I'm back. And she's like, you were gone the whole time.
- [27:47]
Andrew
Spill.
- [27:49]
Jess
And yeah. It's so funny though. Like, it's nothing like I could have ever dreamed of. He is an incredible human and has just like. I can't even put it into words. Like, it's honestly hard to put it into words. But he, he. I said before, but he's like, literally changed my life.
- [28:07]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
Both of you guys had really cute, like, I'm falling in love with you, or I love you, or I want to say it first. Like, you both, it was.
- [28:13]
Jess
Yeah.
- [28:14]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
Kind of mirrored one another. But when did you guys, like, when did you know, Spencer, that you were.
- [28:20]
Spencer
In love with her? So I will say I. I don't know necessarily if I completely subscribe to love at first sight. I think there's so much that, you know, goes into loving someone that love at first sight is tough. What I do know is from the moment I saw her, the first conversation we had, and just how welcoming she is. She makes every room brighter that she's ever in. Knowing her better now, she will fight to the death for us and me and, yeah, don't mess with her. And no, from that first conversation we had, I knew then that I was either spending the rest of my time there in paradise with her or I was going back to Dallas and it would have been a cool trip and, you know, like, okay, whatever. But if it wasn't her for me after that first conversation, then it wasn't on that beach for me. I've like, look, I think one thing that is a lot of guys especially go on the show and they think, oh, we're supposed to date around. We're supposed to kiss all these people. We're supposed to do all these things. Like, we're not in eighth grade. We've kissed people. We know what that's like. We have hopefully dated people. We know what we're looking for in a partner. And it didn't take long for me to realize that what I had standing in front of me was something that I hadn't ever had before, you know? And we did talk for, like, literally three hours.
- [29:53]
Jess
The first day by the pool. Like, everyone was like, what? What are they? They're still over there.
- [30:00]
Andrew
Yeah.
- [30:01]
Spencer
So, yeah. Long winded answer, honey.
- [30:03]
Andrew
Here we go.
- [30:04]
Jess
What was the question again?
- [30:05]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
When did you know that you were in love with him?
- [30:08]
Jess
Um, yeah, like Spencer said there wasn't like a particular moment where I'm like, oh my God, I'm in love with him. I think that there was different things that I like, knew that I loved about him. Kind of like what you guys were talking about. There was different things that I knew that I really loved about him. But. And I was like, wow, this is like someone that makes me feel so safe and like protected and just like ride or die.

Let's talk about Sex. Actually, let's talk about pregnancy prevention. There are a lot of birth control options out there. You might have even tried a bunch. Have you heard of Nexplanon etnogestrel implant 68 milligram radiopaque. It's a prescription birth control for the prevention of pregnancy in women. When thinking about the right birth control for you, learn about your options. You may not want to take one daily or have one that goes in your uterus. Nexplanon is the birth control implant that goes in your arm. Don't use nexplanon if you're pregnant or maybe pregnant, have or had blood clots or certain cancers, have liver disease, liver tumor or unexplained vaginal bleeding. Once the implant is placed, you and your doctor should feel for it. If at any time you can't feel the implant, contact your doctor right away and use a non hormonal birth control method such as condoms. Removal of the implant may be difficult or impossible if it isn't where it should be. While uncommon ectopic pregnancy, pregnancy that occurs outside the womb can occur which can cause serious internal bleeding, infertility and even death.

You are likely to experience changes to your period. Ovarian cysts may occur and usually disappear. Nexplanon may raise the chance of serious blood clots which can cause heart attack, stroke or death, especially if you smoke or have other risk factors. Nexplanon doesn't protect against HIV or STDs. Talk to your doctor, visit nexplanon.com or call 1-877-467-5266 for more information. There are so many options out there, so it's important to talk to your doctor and find the right birth control for you. Ask for yourself. Ask for Nexplanon.

You know, you guys were plagued with the cutting out of the show because you're actually in a healthy, loving, sweet relationship. It happens every season. Just, just so you know. And that I. That's why I warned you. I was like, just like, just so.
- [35:47]
Jess
You better go talk to some people, stir some shit.
- [35:49]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
But there were so many really cute moments that like, were left on the cutting room floor. Do you have like a moment that you. You wish had been on the show?
- [35:58]
Jess
I have one.
- [35:59]
Spencer
Oh, yeah. You can go first. You can start.
- [36:01]
Jess
Okay. So my number one was he actually had a birthday on the show. And unfortunately his birthday landed on a dark day. And I was so mad because I'm.
- [36:11]
Andrew
Like, I don't even get to spend.
- [36:13]
Jess
His birthday with him. I'm like, so upset. So I wanted to find a way to hopefully make it special. And we got him a cake and I got one of the producers to make a card for him. And she pulled up his Instagram and pulled up a picture of his dog Roo and drew a picture of Ru on his card. And then I wrote him this sweet card. And just like, even though it was like 30 minutes, we just got to spend with each other eating cake and laughing. And there was maybe one camera on us and it just felt so special. And I just love that. And I wish that people would have seen that. It was just really cute.
- [36:51]
Spencer
So there were so many moments that will forever just be our moments that weren't aired. Some of them, I don't think were caught on camera. But every morning for the first half of Paradise, I would go out on my runs. And day one, we had talked about wanting to go walk the beach.
- [37:09]
Jess
We got rained out.
- [37:10]
Spencer
We got rained out. Night one. And then day two, there were other things that took her away from me. Talked about some of our favorite memories, like her naming our loved child iguana with three legs. Day one.
- [37:23]
Jess
On day one, like five minutes into Our conversation, we saw a three legged iguana and named him Huey. And I said, it's our love child. And I was like, why the actual hell did I just say that?
- [37:33]
Spencer
Huey. That's Huey.
- [37:34]
Jess
He's gonna think I'm insane.
- [37:37]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
You know, you guys were kind of vocal about not liking the game show aspect of the show and money being involved. Do you still feel that way and how do you feel now that you have won?
- [37:53]
Spencer
Do you want me to go? I obviously sitting here, hindsight's 2020 and we ended up winning.
- [38:02]
Andrew
That's great. That's awesome.
- [38:03]
Jess
But if I'm being so anyways, forget everything I said before.
- [38:07]
Andrew
Yeah.
- [38:08]
Spencer
If I'm being honest. So I'm a big fan of shows like Survivor Traders, shows like that. And as soon as they announced that it was a game show and there was money involved, instantly I'm sitting there and I'm like, if everyone's treating this as a game show, then we're so screwed. Like, we're going home so soon. And so I just don't think that that format lends itself well to meshing with a show where the end goal is to find love and find your person and makes it real. Luckily for all of us here, it worked out so well. And I love the challenges. I think that was such a huge plus and seeing how we deal with adversity, potential adversity, how we deal with disagreements, losing, communicating in high stress environments, everything like that was so great. But yeah, I think the, the money aspect. And on top of that, he was pissed.
- [39:09]
Jess
He was pissed pissed.
- [39:10]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
I remember it. And I was like, what are you talking about?
- [39:12]
Andrew
It's a half a million dollars.
- [39:13]
Jess
No, that's what I said. I go. But I will say I didn't think of it as like, oh, we're gonna have a targets on our back because we've been together since day one. Minus, you know, the date I went on, um, we. I just was like, I. What? Why are you upset about this? This is like a good thing. This is like a cool thing.
- [39:31]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
One thing though, that I was talking about this on a different podcast and it's never really said in the show, but you know, the final relationship test is the what are you going to do about this money?
- [39:40]
Andrew
Yeah. Right.
- [39:41]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
And so. So you passed that test.
- [39:43]
Jess
Yeah.
- [39:44]
Spencer
I think it was also tough too, to be the judge and jury of your peers in their relationships that. That really sucked. You know, I think throwing that component in and piling money on top of it was tough because who am I to judge dictate anyone else's relationships when I only see 5% of it, you know?
- [40:05]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
Well, I think you guys navigated your way through the paradise really, really well. You did, unfortunately, end up winning a lot of money. Sorry, what. What are you going to do with the money? Is it going to a wedding? Is it going to a house? Is it going to a new dog?
- [40:23]
Jess
So I actually have student loans as well. Not too, too many, but I do have a little bit of that, so I definitely am gonna put a little bit towards that. And then we, obviously, we wanna take a trip. I mean, we do wanna go on a trip. We gotta treat ourselves, but the majority of it is definitely going towards our future together. A wedding. What? Yeah, Investing and moving. I'm literally moving to Dallas at the beginning of the year. And, you know, we're gonna have our own place and pick out all the things, and there's so much that the money is going to go to.
- [40:56]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
Honestly, we're really excited for future cast members. What's one piece of advice you'd give them if they're thinking about coming on the beach looking for what you guys found?
- [41:04]
Jess
Pack enough clothes? No, no, you go ahead.
- [41:12]
Spencer
I would say this is a once in a lifetime experience, and that's the mindset I went into it with. And if you're able to be lucky enough for it to time up well for you to find someone with the same intent, someone looking for the same thing that you mesh as well with as we have here, it works. And it's more than worth any of the risk to my fellows out there. You don't need to go make out with every girl on the beach just because you can. All right, boys, let's be real.
- [41:41]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
Real talk. You know, kind of in closing. I think that my favorite line of the entire season came from your lips. And you said, I can make more money. I just can't make more. Jessica Taylor Edwards. And I started crying a little bit. One good fucking line.
- [42:01]
Jess
That was a good one.
- [42:02]
Host (Becca Kufrin)
What did you think when you heard that?
- [42:04]

Oh, my God. Honestly, it made me tear up. I was like, wow, that. I mean, obviously I already knew that I made the right decision, but it just. He shows me every day. He keeps proving my decision.
