[Rachel]

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Bachelor Happy Hour. I'm Rachel.

[Charity]

And I am Charity. And we are joined today with two very special guests, Tyler and Tayshia. Welcome, guys.

[Tayshia Adams]

What's up?

[Rachel]

You guys have been running all around town doing all your press, because you two are the hosts of Bachelor Mansion Takeover. How has that been?

[Tyler Cameron]

Okay, well, we would love to be the host, but we're actually the judges.

[Rachel]

You guys are the hosts.

[Tyler Cameron]

I mean, we could take it.

[Tayshia Adams]

Yeah, take it, girl.

[Tyler Cameron]

Right? Okay. But it has been probably one of the. One of the best projects I've done in a minute. I feel like. Well, as you know, the mansion definitely needed a facelift.

[Rachel]

It has looked like an Olive Garden

[Tyler Cameron]

for far too long. Thank God.

[Tayshia Adams]

But no free breadsticks, you know, so no benefit.

[Charity]

Did you see?

[Rachel]

It looked like Olive Garden. It does look like Olive Garden.

[Narrator/Promotional Voice]

It does.

[Tyler Cameron]

It actually really does. Why would they do such a thing?

[Rachel]

They said it was inspired by Tuscany. I've been watching. Right? That's what they said.

[Charity]

Yeah.

[Tyler Cameron]

I mean, it is inspired. I mean, there's a lot in the house that I feel like does resemble that. I mean, they have flown in, like, wood all around the house. Stop.

[Narrator/Promotional Voice]

This is.

[Tyler Cameron]

Anyway, yeah, it does resemble Tuscany inside.

[Tayshia Adams]

It does, yes.

[Rachel]

Tyler, why do you keep.

[Charity]

Anyway, he seems uncertain.

[Rachel]

You guys have great chemistry.

[Charity]

I was gonna say, like, working together.

[Tyler Cameron]

I mean, as you can tell, he keeps me on my toes and he keeps me laughing the whole time.

[Tayshia Adams]

Like, working with her has just been, like, such a joy and such a pleasure.

[Rachel]

What is that?

[Charity]

No, literally. What is it?

[Rachel]

What are you holding?

[Charity]

No, wait, Tell me more.

[Rachel]

He needs a snack. He just pulls it. Cheese out of his pocket. Yes.

[Tyler Cameron]

Was that you buy?

[Charity]

Taylor can't do well.

[Tayshia Adams]

Well.

[Rachel]

And are you hungry? Do you need a minute?

[Tyler Cameron]

Tyler, are you gonna eat the cheesesteak, or is it just a prop? This is literally the problem with this, man. I literally told him I saw them in the fridge, and I said, if I look at those, I'm gonna throw it, because I had a very Traumatizing experience in second grade.

[Tayshia Adams]

Well, I didn't know it was traumatizing, so now I feel bad about my cheesesteak.

[Tyler Cameron]

What?

[Rachel]

It's a traumatizing experience at school, and

[Tyler Cameron]

I hated it, and I threw up, and so, like. And he literally just put.

[Rachel]

Why would you do that to her?

[Tyler Cameron]

After she.

[Tayshia Adams]

I'll put it away.

[Charity]

Tyler is such a jokester. I don't think I knew this. Like, what?

[Rachel]

I don't really know how to move forward from this.

[Tayshia Adams]

I saw an opportunity, guys.

[Tyler Cameron]

So you talk about.

[Rachel]

Please don't forget that chemistry.

[Charity]

That studio is going to reek of cheese. Don't forget.

[Rachel]

Was this what it was like, the whole season with you two?

[Tyler Cameron]

I mean.

[Tayshia Adams]

Yeah, yeah, we had a lot of fun.

[Rachel]

Did you guys know each other before?

[Tayshia Adams]

Through, like, I went to one of her events one time, and we didn't get to really get to hang out that much, but this was, like, our first time really getting to hang, and there was a lot of, like, downtime while they're building, so we spent a lot of time together.

[Rachel]

I was gonna say you guys are basically like Jesse Palmer. Like, when all the drama's happening, you disappear, and then you just show up to judge. Yeah. I mean, I feel like that's the best part of it.

[Tayshia Adams]

It was incredible.

[Rachel]

And you guys both lived in the mansion at this point?

[Tyler Cameron]

Yeah.

[Tayshia Adams]

Yeah.

[Rachel]

What was it like being back?

[Tayshia Adams]

Did you get to do it?

[Narrator/Promotional Voice]

I did.

[Rachel]

I lived there. And when my bachelorette season.

[Tayshia Adams]

Yeah.

[Rachel]

Was on.

[Tyler Cameron]

See, that's the one thing I didn't get. I didn't have my season there because

[Rachel]

you guys are in Palm Springs.

[Tayshia Adams]

Charity, where was yours?

[Charity]

I was at the mansion, too.

[Tyler Cameron]

Oh, my gosh. That's the one thing you guys have up on me. That sucks. I wish I was there.

[Charity]

You didn't miss on too much.

[Rachel]

It's so true. Did any rooms or any places in the house bring up old memories from your bachelor and bachelorette season?

[Tayshia Adams]

Definitely. You know, like, there was, like, this. We know, like, that side of the house where there's, like, the outdoor fireplace and all that stuff. Like, I totally forgot I ever had a moment out there until I was back there, you know? And, like, I remember, like, when I was on the show with Hannah, and I had this, like, idea I was gonna be, like, a tackling dummy. Like, you're gonna tackle this. I want to see, like, the Hannah beast, you know, And I was gonna throw it out of the way and then catch her. She just ate. You know what I mean? I was like, well, this Is not a great start. You know, this is obviously barely even talking to her to begin with, but she was a great sport. We laughed it off, we made out, and we moved on.

[Tyler Cameron]

Great memories.

[Rachel]

And this is by the fire pit,

[Tayshia Adams]

by the outdoor fire pit on the side.

[Rachel]

Taysha, what about you?

[Tyler Cameron]

I remember night one. I actually made the front, like, driveway. Taysha land. I know. And they, like, made it a carnival. And we had, like a bunch of games that we would play.

[Rachel]

This was on night one?

[Tyler Cameron]

Yes.

[Rachel]

During your first conversation?

[Tyler Cameron]

Yes.

[Sponsor/Advertiser Voice]

Wait.

[Charity]

Very cute.

[Tyler Cameron]

Yeah, it was really cute.

[Rachel]

We did.

[Tyler Cameron]

What's up? Bags. People call it a different.

[Rachel]

I call it bags.

[Tayshia Adams]

Bags, like a Midwestern term, right?

[Tyler Cameron]

Yeah.

[Tayshia Adams]

What's it called? Hack? No, cornhole. Cornhole, Yeah.

[Charity]

I was like, that's what I was

[Tyler Cameron]

thinking, but it's bags, whatever. And I don't know, we ate like, popcorn. We did other things. And yeah.

[Rachel]

Speaking of Hannah, you guys were both reunited with exes on this show. What was that like, seeing them all again?

[Tayshia Adams]

I love watching Taisha's exes.

[Rachel]

She had two. You had.

[Charity]

No, I know. You had. And Brendan.

[Tyler Cameron]

Yes, I know. I knew they were gonna be there. They didn't know I was gonna be there.

[Charity]

So you were prepared.

[Tyler Cameron]

Oh, yeah. I mean, it's also like water under the bridge at this point, but I have yet to talk to these guys since my season, so this was like the first time I was seeing them. And I don't know. Also, like, when you don't talk to them, you're. You're wondering, like, what their idea is of you. Because, like, they finish watching the season, you don't really talk about it. So I was like, are they gonna hate me? Do they like me?

[Rachel]

Whatever.

[Tayshia Adams]

It was fascinating.

[Tyler Cameron]

It was. They didn't speak.

[Tayshia Adams]

They wouldn't.

[Rachel]

I was gonna ask.

[Tayshia Adams]

They wouldn't look at her.

[Tyler Cameron]

Like they were lying.

[Tayshia Adams]

Like, Noah. Noah was adjacent to us. Like, Noah would be like, where charity is right now and Taysha's giving the directions to the whole thing. He would just look straight ahead, like, it was so good. Brendan. Same thing. And they were the two that probably did the worst because they were probably so, like, ingrained to think of, like, what is, you know, Taysha, this taste of that and not thinking about what the directions are that we're giving. And it was. It was amazing. I love

[Charity]

that.

[Rachel]

Open his box. Yes.

[Tyler Cameron]

And not that he was mad or anything like that. I think they just. I was the last person they ever thought would be standing there. And I love it.

[Charity]

But was that short lived? Like did as the season progress? Like, did they eventually. Like, did you guys have, like, side conversations? Like, did they come around?

[Tayshia Adams]

Brennan asked you out.

[Charity]

Shut

[Tayshia Adams]

up.

[Tyler Cameron]

This is how rumors start.

[Rachel]

You heard it here first. You heard it here first. Headlines.

[Tyler Cameron]

Okay? Hiking news. No, he did not ask me out. He has a girlfriend.

[Tayshia Adams]

Yeah, probably so.

[Tyler Cameron]

You're gonna get me in trouble.

[Charity]

Not the probably.

[Tyler Cameron]

Yeah, he does. He does. But no, I don't know what we. I lost. We lost the plot. I don't know what we were saying.

[Rachel]

They never came up and tried to.

[Charity]

They never, like, had side conversations or.

[Tyler Cameron]

Yeah, we were perfectly fine towards the end. Like, you'll see. We have more interactions.

[Rachel]

What about him?

[Charity]

Very cute.

[Tayshia Adams]

That was great.

[Rachel]

Was this the first time you'd seen her in how long?

[Tayshia Adams]

Probably two years. Last time I saw her, she came out and filmed my Going Home with Tyler show for Amazon. And so. And we got to spend, like, four days with each other there. And that was, like, ups and downs then ups and downs, like. Like working together, like, because I'm always, like, pushing the issue and trying to make it fun. And she would. And she'd be like, whoa. You know what I mean?

[Charity]

Very diplomatic. Yeah, we have.

[Tayshia Adams]

We have our little. No, not fight, but it was just. It was fun. And then it was. And then it was. Then it was. You know what I mean?

[Charity]

Absolutely.

[Rachel]

So he's like, you know.

[Tayshia Adams]

And then this time, I haven't seen her since she's been married or anything like that, so I was very excited to see her because I thought this was going to be fun. Great to catch up. When I got into the trailers, it was tension. Like, I remember Taisha was looking at me. My manager was looking at me. Everyone's looking at me. They're like, she's over there.

[Charity]

She was out in the trailer.

[Tayshia Adams]

She's in the next trailer from us, like, connected. So I was like. So I was like, all right, great. Let's break this ice, you know? So I looked around the. Looked around the room, and I saw an apple. So I was like, this is going to be my. My wedding gift.

[Rachel]

And so why not a cheese stick, literally?

[Charity]

Or.

[Tyler Cameron]

I don't know, just go there and say, hi, Hannah, how are you doing?

[Tayshia Adams]

So I brought that over to her, and I just want. I wanted to. I kind of played it as being, like, very awkward, and. And then she played awkward, too, so it was great. It was very, very awkward for both of us, which I loved. And then. And, you know, it was great. It was kind of. Because then, like, once we got to set. It was fun and easy and ice is broken and, you know, Annapolis day keeps divorce away, hopefully.

[Tyler Cameron]

So it wasn't awkward for long.

[Tayshia Adams]

Yes.

[Tyler Cameron]

You know, did you guys get to

[Rachel]

catch up after the awkwardness after you guys were filming?

[Tayshia Adams]

Yes. We had a. We had a. We had a ball.

[Narrator/Promotional Voice]

Awesome.

[Tayshia Adams]

Yeah, we had a ball. We did not go out to dinner. I think you guys went.

[Rachel]

You and Brennan, on your date.

[Tyler Cameron]

Yeah. No, actually, didn't. You and Hannah and I went to dinner.

[Tayshia Adams]

I didn't get invited. Can you believe that?

[Rachel]

I wish I was invited. I lived here.

[Tyler Cameron]

Yeah. We went with Carrie, the stylist. I know. Well, you guys know.

[Rachel]

Yeah.

[Tyler Cameron]

People that are listening. Yeah, of course. But he did. And Gina, who's the bachelor makeup artist, and Tommy.

[Rachel]

Actually, Tommy did your hair. Yeah. Wait, I'm so jealous. Were fantastic.

[Tyler Cameron]

It was amazing.

[Charity]

Wait, I'm. I did not know Carrie styled you. I'm like, he's.

[Tyler Cameron]

Oh, I remember my season. I styled.

[Charity]

Oh, I thought you meant.

[Tyler Cameron]

Oh, and then I thought you meant.

[Charity]

And honestly, even better.

[Tyler Cameron]

Love that for you. I thought you meant for the show. Right?

[Charity]

Yeah.

[Narrator/Promotional Voice]

Yes.

[Tyler Cameron]

No, for the show. I did myself, but.

[Charity]

Oh, my God, you crushed. I mean, every single look. I'm like, obsessed.

[Tyler Cameron]

Thank you.

[Charity]

Literally obsessed with. Thank you. So good.

[Rachel]

You looked incredible. Tyler, you were there.

[Tayshia Adams]

I was there.

[Rachel]

You look like a contract.

[Tyler Cameron]

Really looks good on. Exactly. I loved his contracting boots.

[Tayshia Adams]

Yeah.

[Rachel]

I mean, you guys both look great.

[Tayshia Adams]

Thanks.

[Tyler Cameron]

Yeah, we complimented each other well with our outfits, actually.

[Rachel]

Do you plan.

[Charity]

Did you guys, like, plan that?

[Tyler Cameron]

No, no, we were just on the same wavelength, y'. All.

[Charity]

Such a good landing. I love it. No, it's such a good dynamic that you guys have. I love it.

[Tyler Cameron]

Tyler, did anybody mention to you or did you have an opportunity to bring up your. The. The original footage that you shot for your Bachelor casting package back when you were on the show?

[Tayshia Adams]

No one's brought that up yet.

[Tyler Cameron]

Oh, I'm so glad to be the first. So if you guys don't remember this Tyler, I don't. The string cheese wrapper. I cannot. When Tyler first submitted to the show, he sent us a video of him being a contractor, and it was him shirtless with a constructor belt dancing around a works.

[Tayshia Adams]

Yes.

[Tyler Cameron]

And I'm just curious, you know, why didn't that get recreated at all during this? This feels like the perfect opportunity to throw back to that iconic.

[Tayshia Adams]

Well, they did. They did bring up the. The clip in the show on the Bachelor Mansion takeover. And we laughed so hard at my form of using a hammer. And then I realized too, like, we also were drilling nothing into that wood. Like, it was so bullshit and fake. It was so funny. But, hey, it got us here. I remember when. So the producers, like, we got on the show, now we got to create like a package for you. And they're like, we want to shoot this Footloose themed package with you. And they sent me like the Kevin Bacon clip from, I think it was like Saturday Night Live that he did and on set or whatever. And I was like, oh, shit, I don't know about this because, like, my. My agent, my modeling agent at the time is like, so against me going on the show. He's like, they will use anything embarrassing against you. I was like, I don't care. Like, I. Like, I'm not going to give him anything bad. I'll do whatever. And so. And then I was like, I kept going back and forth. He's like, I don't want you to do it. I don't want you to do it. And then I was finally like, I'm going to do it. Like, screw it. What do I have to lose? I have nothing to lose. I'm making 200 bucks a week right now doing construction. I'll do anything. Totally. So we did this and. And it was so much fun. It was in one of our job sites that we were building at the time. And just like to look when I looked back that and saw on the show as a clip, like, brought me back to all that. And I'm like, the form on the hammer was so bad. It probably still is bad.

[Rachel]

You know, I'm sure not one woman in America noticed and I'm sure they.

[Tyler Cameron]

Yeah, it got the job done.

[Tayshia Adams]

Yeah. You know, so my hammer work is much better, ladies.

[Rachel]

So we're not going to see it recreated?

[Tayshia Adams]

What? We can recreate it. I think we should. Why not? Yeah.

[Rachel]

Oh, wait,

[Charity]

is this his casting video?

[Tyler Cameron]

This is. Remember when in the. In the first episode you would see cast members back at home and like, living their daily life?

[Charity]

Tyler's daily life was okay.

[Tyler Cameron]

No, it was his, like, intro to Tyler on the first episode.

[Charity]

Got it because I was like a

[Tayshia Adams]

dance minor in college and you were a contractor. Yeah.

[Charity]

Is this for real?

[Tyler Cameron]

He has moves. He has moves.

[Tayshia Adams]

I. Why I failed out my first semester of college.

[Charity]

That's all right.

[Tayshia Adams]

And so they were like, you're staying here all summer and getting your GPA up so you can be eligible for football next year. And so they put me in to all these dancing classes and it was like, me and 20 girls. I was the bachelor of my dancing classes. These girls don't know that, but in my mind, I was so. That was like, I love dance classes, and I was not great, but I got an A for effort. I did all of them. I did ballet. I did, you know, all these fun things. It was amazing.

[Rachel]

That's amazing. When we see you on Dancing with

[Charity]

the Star, I'm just gonna say, I'm

[Tayshia Adams]

like, do we need one day, you know, back a little bit and get ready for it? Yeah.

[Rachel]

The floor salsa.

[Tayshia Adams]

Yeah.

[Charity]

The hips.

[Tayshia Adams]

The hips are there. That's one thing I always got. It's just the back. Loosen up a little bit.

[Tyler Cameron]

Oh, my gosh.

[Narrator/Promotional Voice]

No.

[Rachel]

I would love to see it.

[Charity]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Tyler Cameron]

We'll have to recreate it for you guys.

[Tayshia Adams]

I mean, me and Tisha were supposed to go to a bachata night and go dance together, but we were a week early, so we were literally sitting in.

[Rachel]

You guys are gonna have to do that, because I need to see it now.

[Tayshia Adams]

We were literally sitting in the Soho Malib. And then. And then we started asking around, like, when's the bachata night? They're like, that's next week.

[Rachel]

So we were a week too early. Oh, no.

[Tyler Cameron]

I know.

[Charity]

Okay, well, I do want to ask, because I've obviously been keeping up with the show, and there's a little bit of drama brewing from the previous episode. So I'm curious, from you guys's, I guess, perspective as judges and being on set, who was probably the most dramatic in the house? Or maybe if you guys are allowed to answer this, most difficult to work with.

[Tayshia Adams]

Oh.

[Tyler Cameron]

Oh.

[Tayshia Adams]

Most dramatic is definitely going to have three.

[Charity]

Okay, give them to us.

[Tyler Cameron]

Wow. Okay. Go for it.

[Tayshia Adams]

Alicia, Joan, Jill.

[Tyler Cameron]

I was going to say the same.

[Charity]

Okay. I knew Alicia was going to be in there. Just a given.

[Rachel]

Was there drama?

[Tayshia Adams]

Yeah.

[Tyler Cameron]

Yes.

[Tayshia Adams]

Because, like, if you think about it, like, all of these people want their design to be the design that everyone goes with, you know? And so. And everyone's like, this is a great launching pad to maybe start your design career. So they want their voice to be heard.

[Tyler Cameron]

Yeah.

[Tayshia Adams]

You know, and so you got Jill battling with Alicia and Jones in the mix. Not with them, necessarily, but, like, with others. And, like, Joan is an interior designer, Alicia is an interior designer. You know, Jill is an architectural historian. So it's like, what is Jill telling Alicia for? You know? But last episode, Taisha was like, we love the mural.

[Rachel]

I was going to say.

[Tayshia Adams]

And that was Jill.

[Tyler Cameron]

Thank you.

[Rachel]

That was all Jill.

[Tayshia Adams]

Yeah. So that was definitely like, eat Your words. In a sense, it was great.

[Rachel]

Oh, my gosh.

[Tyler Cameron]

I think last episode was definitely where tension started getting really high, because in the first episode, you know, everyone's trying to catch their bearings. Everyone wants to be friends and, like, oh, like, it's the guys against the girls. It's like, cute. Oh, this is not that bad. And then once they had to do their first elimination and they were the ones eliminating, they're like, hold on a second. This is gonna be cutthroat. And then the challenges get a little bit more intense as they go.

[Rachel]

They were ruthless. This last elimination.

[Tyler Cameron]

Just wait, Just wait.

[Charity]

Oh, my God.

[Tayshia Adams]

Once they found out how eliminations were going to happen, they were very upset. And then they just. They came at me.

[Tyler Cameron]

Oh, my gosh. You guys should have seen it. They didn't air this.

[Rachel]

Of bad news. Always coming in and telling them they have to eliminate.

[Tayshia Adams]

Exactly. But I'm like, yeah, it's a hundred thousand dollars. What do you want us to do? Just play happy, go, lucky win.

[Tyler Cameron]

I don't think you want to split that either.

[Rachel]

Wait, what happened off camera that they didn't.

[Tayshia Adams]

It was on camera, but it was just like. It was like Sandra. And they're like, this is hgtv, I thought. I'm like, no, no, no. This is Bachelor and hgtv, which. HGTV has competition shows, too. So it was like. It's like we're bringing Bachelor drama with HGTV design and eliminations and putting it together, and it's. It's a beautiful mess.

[Tyler Cameron]

It's also. I don't think they expected to have to eliminate each other, but also, we're not there the whole time, so if you're not a good team player, like, your team is going to eliminate you.

[Tayshia Adams]

It's kind of Survivor style.

[Tyler Cameron]

It's like I was going to say.

[Rachel]

I heard talk about alliances that were not. They weren't coming.

[Tyler Cameron]

I was not expecting that.

[Rachel]

Alliances right away.

[Tayshia Adams]

I know what you see. The alliances got turned. They turned their back on alliances.

[Charity]

Was it Noah and Dean this past episode? Is that. Am I correct? Weren't they. Didn't they have, like, some sort of,

[Tayshia Adams]

like, they had an alliance and then Dean kind of went against the alliance.

[Tyler Cameron]

Yes, right.

[Rachel]

Not only against. He said, I don't care about Noah that much.

[Charity]

I was so shocked.

[Rachel]

I was like, weren't you guys friends? You said you texted before you got here.

[Tyler Cameron]

See, when money's on the line. That's what I'm saying. It'll go quick.

[Tayshia Adams]

Their dynamic is so funny, though.

[Tyler Cameron]

They are.

[Tayshia Adams]

They are so good on tv.

[Tyler Cameron]

I feel like.

[Rachel]

I was going to ask what was the dynamics like in the house? Was it clicky?

[Tyler Cameron]

It was definitely guys against girls a lot of the time. Remember, the guys were. The girls were trying to get the guys out and then the guys were.

[Tayshia Adams]

Yeah, the girls were definitely trying to pick on the guys.

[Tyler Cameron]

Yeah, they definitely were.

[Tayshia Adams]

And like which it's like the guys, the ladies are the strong design. The guys are usually the build. I was like, you probably need to find a way to work together.

[Charity]

Exactly.

[Tayshia Adams]

It was interesting. But girl power rules on, I think.

[Rachel]

What did you guys think about them voting out Sandra and Chris so early?

[Charity]

I was pissed. I was gonna say, is there anyone you guys thought that went home too early?

[Tayshia Adams]

I mean, Sandra, no one would tell her the damn sheen, you know, she

[Rachel]

said, I saw that. I felt so bad for her watching. They straight up ignored her every single Time was that, like, how was that the entire time they were just ignoring each other.

[Tayshia Adams]

I will say this. I think when it comes to designing a home, Sheen's the last thing you think about. Like, trying to pick out a pink color already is like, a crazy psychology. And then you try. Then you have to figure out what sheen you're supposed to do. And there's, like, rules to it all of, like, where and when you're supposed to use the Sheens. So, like, I'm sure people didn't know what Sheen was. What. You know, and for what. So that was. That was. That was pretty funny to watch. Poor Sandra, because no one was listening to her. And then that broke my heart.

[Rachel]

He built a desk all day, and they voted him out.

[Tayshia Adams]

Yeah. I'm like, this is your best carpenter and your hardest worker. You're gonna.

[Tyler Cameron]

And that's where I feel like this was kind of like they're trying to get the Goldens out for no reason in particular. Chris. I was very upset by. I wanted him to.

[Tayshia Adams]

Chris hurt us. Chris hurt all of our hearts.

[Tyler Cameron]

Yeah.

[Tayshia Adams]

Because he's not only just, like, the sweetest, nicest guy, but I felt like he was, like, putting in the most work. I think it was like he wasn't a part of the little boys club, you know? And, like.

[Tyler Cameron]

And he definitely felt that too. He's like, I'm just not one of the young guys, like, going in there and chiming in 247 and giving each other like, shit. Like.

[Tayshia Adams]

Yeah.

[Tyler Cameron]

When Christopher showed up for Golden Bachelor, he told us all his dream was to be on hgtv.

[Tayshia Adams]

Really?

[Charity]

No. Okay. You can't tell me that. No, I can't.

[Tayshia Adams]

And they just crushes my heart. Breaks.

[Tyler Cameron]

Hey. He accomplished his dream.

[Tayshia Adams]

Yeah. But no.

[Tyler Cameron]

No.

[Rachel]

Got complimented on his craftsmanship.

[Tayshia Adams]

Yeah.

[Rachel]

By you guys.

[Tayshia Adams]

Yeah.

[Tyler Cameron]

No, I had to.

[Tayshia Adams]

He. He has. He'll have a special place in my heart.

[Rachel]

Always back on something else.

[Charity]

Yes, I know. Dresses just might.

[Tayshia Adams]

Fingers crossed.

[Rachel]

Just my. Speaking of designs without spoilers, what was some of the worst that you saw?

[Tyler Cameron]

Oh, honey, you haven't seen it yet.

[Tayshia Adams]

Dean's room.

[Rachel]

The blue ceiling.

[Tayshia Adams]

The blue ceiling was Toy Story.

[Rachel]

What do you think about that? He took a risk. You guys said take risks.

[Tayshia Adams]

Yes.

[Tyler Cameron]

Did you think we meant it like that?

[Charity]

Absolutely not.

[Tyler Cameron]

Terrible.

[Charity]

No. I was with Tayshia, and she was like, this is toy. I was like, this is a mess.

[Rachel]

When you said Toy Story. Who said, this is Toy Story Ceiling?

[Charity]

I was paying.

[Tyler Cameron]

Was I not accurate?

[Charity]

It was about it until you said

[Rachel]

that and everything Made so much sense. We needed, like, the white clouds.

[Charity]

I know.

[Tyler Cameron]

That's all you were missing. And honestly, if you would have let Dean, he probably would have done that.

[Tayshia Adams]

Yeah. No, that was tough. That was tough. But there are some designs coming up that we have. Some experts come in as judges, and, boy, they picked them apart.

[Rachel]

Oh, my gosh. Can you tease anything?

[Tyler Cameron]

You'll see it soon.

[Tayshia Adams]

I don't really know. It's great. I was loving it.

[Tyler Cameron]

Yeah.

[Rachel]

Oh, my gosh. Well, I can't wait to see it.

[Charity]

Yeah. I'm excited. But before we segue, I wanna. I wanna ask really quick. Was there anything that you guys learned about the mansion? Obviously, since we were all contestants, and then Tayshia, you being a lead, but your season wasn't there. Was there anything while you guys were filming this show that was very niche or something that's, like, not common knowledge about the house? Does that make sense? Like, maybe something you guys learned?

[Tayshia Adams]

I think the history of it's just really cool, you know?

[Tyler Cameron]

Yeah.

[Tayshia Adams]

This guy who's owned it for all these years, and, you know, it was like a house he was building. And then Bachelor came by, like, this might be a cool place for a set. And then ever since then, that house has stayed the set of Bachelor World. I got some real estate in Florida, if y' all want to do that there, too. Like, I would love to work a deal with y', all. So that was cool. And then when they. When they took apart the wall, there was, like, a paint chip.

[Tyler Cameron]

This is the coolest.

[Tayshia Adams]

You could see, like, 20 different colors of paints on that chip, and it was, like, all of the different years

[Tyler Cameron]

of paint, it was actually so thick.

[Tayshia Adams]

Yeah. And you can see, like, oh, this is where Tayshia, like, the maroon must have been when Tayshia was kissing Colton. And then. And then here's where I was probably trying to kiss Hannah. Like, it was like a tree ring, but paint.

[Rachel]

You know, because they paint the house every.

[Charity]

Every single season. Yeah.

[Tayshia Adams]

It was, like, decorating. It was like. It was thick.

[Rachel]

Oh, my gosh. Did you guys get to keep a bit of it?

[Tyler Cameron]

No, I don't think Souvenir may have done that, but sold it.

[Rachel]

They should have framed it, like, on the wall.

[Tyler Cameron]

That would have been really cool. But no, other than that, I feel like there was just that. You think that the bedrooms were really cool for people to see, too.

[Tayshia Adams]

Just memories that shouldn't come up again.

[Tyler Cameron]

Yeah.

[Rachel]

Oh, don't we know. Oh, my gosh.

[Charity]

Keep them where they're at.

[Tyler Cameron]

Yeah.

[Rachel]

Should we Move on, please. Taylor.

[Charity]

I think so. We have a season ahead of us, you guys. A bachelorette season at that. And it's Taylor, Frankie, Paul. How are you guys feeling about that? Are you excited? I'm excited, yeah.

[Tyler Cameron]

I'm excited for her. I mean, like any bachelorette, like it's a nerve wracking experience. We know a little bit more than anybody else we know probably, like, what's to come with do I watch the show? Do I not watch the show? I'm there just to give her any advice she needs at any point. So I'm excited for her.

[Rachel]

You're thrilled.

[Tayshia Adams]

I haven't wanted to watch a season since really Matt's, you know, and this. And from just like the talk around town and the things that I've heard, I'm like, this is going to be nuts.

[Rachel]

What have you heard?

[Tayshia Adams]

I ain't saying that. I know, I know more. I know the handcuffs.

[Rachel]

You just said talk around town.

[Tyler Cameron]

What have you heard?

[Tayshia Adams]

I can't tell you the talk around town.

[Rachel]

You can't tease.

[Tayshia Adams]

But I'm excited. I think it's going to be incredible. I think she is so fun and she's so good for the franchise and like, I think there's like a whole new energy around it. Like the way they're doing social media now and getting the guys of all that. The guys doing the reels.

[Rachel]

I've been studying the reels. What's your thought on the social media activity?

[Tyler Cameron]

Wait, I haven't really watched these reels

[Rachel]

all over the place.

[Tayshia Adams]

I love the reels.

[Charity]

I don't know how you didn't. Wait.

[Tyler Cameron]

I haven't really watched that.

[Tayshia Adams]

It was such a great way to get to know the guys before you see them on tv. Like there was one guy who was an athlete who like Division one who competed and lost his leg. That was the coolest reel there was. Like, I'm, I'm immediately like, team him. I forgot his name, but whatever. Trenton.

[Rachel]

Trenton.

[Tayshia Adams]

Team Trenton. Like, I'm already team Trent. Like, I think that was so cool, you know, and there's just so many great, like videos that came out of that and the little odes to Taylor with the Crocs I kept seeing and stuff like that. Like, like fantastic work, guys.

[Tyler Cameron]

I hope she has a date or two in Crocs.

[Rachel]

I know. In her sweats.

[Tyler Cameron]

And her sweats.

[Rachel]

Can you imagine how nice that would have been? Yeah.

[Tyler Cameron]

Truly unreal. I would have been so happy.

[Charity]

Tyler, have you met Taylor?

[Tayshia Adams]

I have not, no. So this is just, you know, fanhood from afar, for sure.

[Rachel]

Is it true one of you knows a contestant on this upcoming season?

[Tayshia Adams]

I do.

[Narrator/Promotional Voice]

You do?

[Rachel]

Who do you know?

[Tyler Cameron]

I don't.

[Tayshia Adams]

I know Shane.

[Narrator/Promotional Voice]

You know Shane?

[Tayshia Adams]

Yes.

[Tyler Cameron]

What can you tell him?

[Tayshia Adams]

I think he's. He's a great guy. College football athlete, and those guys do well on the show, so.

[Rachel]

That is true. You know the Bachelor loves an ex NFL player.

[Tyler Cameron]

Yes, truly.

[Rachel]

And an ex college player.

[Tayshia Adams]

I was gonna say. Let's just keep it.

[Rachel]

Didn't you?

[Tayshia Adams]

I would say I played. I had a cup of coffee. A lot of these guys will tell you they played. I'll tell you. I didn't.

[Rachel]

Do, you know, make his head bigger

[Tyler Cameron]

than it is, you know, literally.

[Tayshia Adams]

I put on a Ravens practice squad, you know, rookie tryout jersey, but that's it.

[Rachel]

Wow, He's a Ravens practice jersey year.

[Tyler Cameron]

Yes.

[Tayshia Adams]

Yeah. Practice jersey year. That's beautiful.

[Rachel]

That's. This is incredible.

[Tayshia Adams]

I know. I know.

[Rachel]

You should get the jersey and put it up. Oh, we should hang it up in the rafters.

[Tayshia Adams]

Yes, you should.

[Rachel]

What number were you?

[Tayshia Adams]

I think I was, like, 47. 49. You know, he doesn't even know, but

[Charity]

number one, he definitely doesn't know. No, he doesn't know. He's like, 47.

[Tayshia Adams]

Maybe 49.

[Charity]

So the Bachelorette reunion just aired, and obviously we were all there together. Taisha, how was meeting Taylor? Was that the first time that you guys met at the reunion?

[Tyler Cameron]

Yeah, that was the first time that I met her. Also, it was my first time meeting a lot of the Bachelorettes. Right, Me too, because my season was during COVID and so I maybe had met a handful of girls, maybe, like, four previously.

[Charity]

So.

[Tyler Cameron]

Yeah, it was a big reunion, wasn't it?

[Bowen Yang]

So much fun.

[Rachel]

It was so much fun.

[Tayshia Adams]

Are you guys part of that group chat for the Bachelorettes?

[Charity]

Yeah, we are.

[Tayshia Adams]

How much I gotta pay to get access?

[Tyler Cameron]

It's priceless.

[Tayshia Adams]

Slip my number in there, no one will know it's me.

[Rachel]

Why do you want to be in it?

[Tayshia Adams]

Just wanted to.

[Rachel]

Just want to know the drama.

[Tayshia Adams]

I just want to talk, like, what

[Rachel]

do you have to say what you

[Charity]

want to talk about?

[Tayshia Adams]

I just want to throw, like, a crazy opinion in there. Every time they're, like, having some talks, like, who is this? You know what I mean? What? Like, what could be happening in that chat? I just want to know.

[Rachel]

It's a secret. That's why everyone knows.

[Tayshia Adams]

So that's what I'm saying. How much can I pay to get in it?

[Rachel]

Yeah.

[Charity]

Well, you had to.

[Tyler Cameron]

Yeah.

[Charity]

I don't even Know, you have to be a bachelorette.

[Tayshia Adams]

What would it. What would it. What would it. What would someone have to pay you guys to break the. The bond of the bachelor chat?

[Charity]

Oh, no, you can't do that.

[Tyler Cameron]

We can't do that.

[Charity]

No.

[Tayshia Adams]

No. $100,000.

[Charity]

No.

[Tayshia Adams]

Not enough to slip my number in for 24 hours. No. $200,000. You guys are. You guys are liars. You guys are just saying that. Rachel. Rachel's like, $200,000.

[Rachel]

She, like, didn't respond. She's just giggling harder and harder. Okay, wait.

[Charity]

I want to say something crazy, and I don't know, but wouldn't somebody in there have your number?

[Tayshia Adams]

Yeah, but I'll give you my real estate number. No one knows that one. So we can get away with that.

[Tyler Cameron]

When you add a number to a group chat, everyone.

[Tayshia Adams]

Yeah, but no one actually is checking that. You know, I don't have to see the above. Just I want to be in the new stuff.

[Tyler Cameron]

Don't you get a notification when a new number is added?

[Narrator/Promotional Voice]

Yes.

[Rachel]

Yes.

[Tyler Cameron]

So everybody in the group chat would know.

[Tayshia Adams]

Yeah, but it's fine.

[Tyler Cameron]

And then people are like, there hasn't been a new season and everybody is in it already.

[Tayshia Adams]

We'll just say it's like, it's my other. We'll say it's your work number.

[Tyler Cameron]

Oh, well, why me?

[Rachel]

We'll say, is Taylor in it yet? We'll say it's Taylor.

[Charity]

No.

[Tyler Cameron]

We'll be like, see, Rachel's considering this.

[Charity]

Yeah, she really is. And now I am. I'm like, yeah. We'll just say Taylor. I'm like, whoa, slow down.

[Rachel]

We do need to add Taylor, like, pretty soon.

[Narrator/Promotional Voice]

We do.

[Rachel]

I think I got added after my season.

[Charity]

I got at it at the end.

[Rachel]

Yeah.

[Tyler Cameron]

Oh, really?

[Charity]

Yeah.

[Tyler Cameron]

I think I got added, like, the night of mine, but my situation was a little different, remember?

[Charity]

Yeah.

[Tyler Cameron]

Like, Claire had just gotten engaged, and then I just came right on in, saving the day.

[Rachel]

Saved the day.

[Charity]

I know.

[Rachel]

Did you give Taylor any advice in the mansion?

[Tyler Cameron]

I think she had, like, a lot of questions about just like, how do you know?

[Charity]

Yeah.

[Tyler Cameron]

And, you know, it's a tough process to navigate, and it is likely to, you know, start having feelings for multiple people just because you're trying. It's like, such a condensed amount of time, and you're trying to make the best decision for yourself. I mean, there's. Guys are, like, so different. Tyler doesn't understand that you can fall for several people.

[Rachel]

Yeah, we talked about this.

[Charity]

So true. Oh, is that your actual beliefs? Please tell Us more.

[Tayshia Adams]

What? No, no. Tasty have a roster. I'm all for it.

[Tyler Cameron]

Okay, well, I did, but I just told her.

[Narrator/Promotional Voice]

Just.

[Tyler Cameron]

You'll know. Like, you stop overthinking it. And you can't take, like, opinions from either of us. We all did our thing our own way. That's true. And you have to just, like, not think about how I did it, how Rachel did it, how Charity did it, and just. Just ride it out. She's gonna be fine.

[Tayshia Adams]

Was there any lead that ever came to you guys and was like, this is how you have to do it? This is how.

[Rachel]

Like, I didn't talk to any leads before.

[Charity]

No, I think. I mean, I talked to Rachel Lindsay a little bit before.

[Tyler Cameron]

Did you have leads on your season?

[Charity]

Did you, Charity, Jojo?

[Tyler Cameron]

I think me and Gabby did.

[Charity]

Oh, yeah.

[Rachel]

And me and Gabby came on.

[Charity]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Rachel]

But we didn't get to talk to you. We were just, like, making drink. Glasses of champagne.

[Charity]

Yeah.

[Rachel]

We're having a good time.

[Charity]

Yeah.

[Tyler Cameron]

I had Rachel, Lindsay, and Jojo come.

[Rachel]

You had them on your season to give you some advice. So this was kind of our way of giving Taylor advice before. Yeah. It seemed to me that she was really concerned about not being able to pick between two.

[Tyler Cameron]

Yeah.

[Rachel]

Do you think that's going to be an issue?

[Tyler Cameron]

I feel like it is.

[Rachel]

Yeah.

[Charity]

Yeah. How do you feel about maybe Dakota coming back, too? That's like, a big, like, theory.

[Tayshia Adams]

I'm like, is that her boyfriend from.

[Tyler Cameron]

From home?

[Tayshia Adams]

Her baby.

[Tyler Cameron]

Baby daddy.

[Tayshia Adams]

Dang. That's sick.

[Rachel]

And I think he was spotted.

[Tyler Cameron]

No. You guys have all the tea. Was he really?

[Charity]

I don't know. I think so, but.

[Tyler Cameron]

Okay. So what you're.

[Tayshia Adams]

He's coming back.

[Tyler Cameron]

He's coming back.

[Rachel]

I think he's gonna come try to win her back.

[Charity]

He definitely is gonna make an appearance.

[Tyler Cameron]

This is never good. Never, Never.

[Rachel]

If my ex showed up, can you imagine?

[Charity]

And what you would do? What would you lay in the season? Yeah. No, not mine. Thank you.

[Tayshia Adams]

I think all that should be welcome back.

[Rachel]

You think so?

[Tayshia Adams]

Like, high school sweetheart, college. Like, we were talking about this earlier. Like, I think you should be able to have them. They should all get a chance back, actually.

[Charity]

Crazy. No, I'm, like, so much.

[Tyler Cameron]

She just likes the drama.

[Rachel]

And he loves chaos. I was gonna say, I never knew you were into the drama like this.

[Charity]

I just.

[Tayshia Adams]

I'm into watching it. Oh, yeah.

[Rachel]

Okay.

[Tyler Cameron]

When it's not.

[Tayshia Adams]

And I'm into my friend's drama, you know? Huh. Like, wouldn't we love, like. I think it'd be great. It'd be very telling if, like, your high school sweetheart came on. We could be, like. It's just, like, part of your history.

[Charity]

It would be a completely different show.

[Rachel]

They would have reached out before you went on.

[Tayshia Adams]

Yeah, but. But things get hard, you know, it

[Charity]

would no longer be a bachelor.

[Tyler Cameron]

They, like, know that you became the bachelorette and, like, are so pissed. And they're like, no, she is my person. I need to go back.

[Tayshia Adams]

Exactly that. That person deserves a chance. You should have your whole dating, like, it's like a credit report, like, your dating report, and they should be able to go. Bring them all back.

[Charity]

That's actually.

[Rachel]

I don't know.

[Tayshia Adams]

We should have an exes episode where they all come back.

[Tyler Cameron]

Okay. And then.

[Tayshia Adams]

And then you get to decide if they want to. If you keep any of them or you eliminate all of them.

[Rachel]

Do you want to know something crazy?

[Tyler Cameron]

What?

[Rachel]

On my season, they announced us, like, a week before. The guys were already casted. They were in the hotel room. When my friends from college found out that I was the bachelorette, they sent in one of my exes. Like, they nominated him, right? They called him for the second season.

[Tayshia Adams]

No.

[Narrator/Promotional Voice]

Yeah.

[Rachel]

And then he told me. He's like, should I do it?

[Sponsor/Advertiser Voice]

He caught.

[Tayshia Adams]

He called you out for the second season. What does that mean?

[Rachel]

The next season for your season. Charity.

[Charity]

And I'm glad he did not. Thank you.

[Tyler Cameron]

There's no way.

[Rachel]

And said, should I take the interview?

[Charity]

That's so good. No, not him calling.

[Rachel]

I told the producers. He called me an axe.

[Tyler Cameron]

That's actually so funny. I've had so many guys do that.

[Rachel]

They try to get on your season.

[Tyler Cameron]

No seasons previous or post my season.

[Tayshia Adams]

My ex's little brother nominated me to go on the show.

[Rachel]

Did she know?

[Tayshia Adams]

I don't know. She must have known. But I told her. I was like, if you break up with me, I'm going on this show.

[Rachel]

So you were dating her when you got cast aside?

[Tayshia Adams]

We were dating her watching JoJo season. I was not casted then, but it was like, a joke. I was like, you break up with me. I'm gonna do this.

[Charity]

Oh, my God. Look at where you're. Yeah.

[Rachel]

Absolutely crazy.

[Tayshia Adams]

Would have loved for her to come on this season. You know what I mean? Like, that would be. That would have been hilarious.

[Tyler Cameron]

Wait, did any of your guys's, like, exes reach out to you after your season?

[Rachel]

Yes. They all do, right?

[Charity]

No, mine tried something, but did not succeed. See, they tried, like, tried to get me on Twitter. I was like, yeah, Good luck.

[Tayshia Adams]

Mine was mean to me.

[Tyler Cameron]

God, I have so many things I can say, but I know it's gonna get picked up and I do not say it.

[Rachel]

No, I don't have to do that. Okay, tell us one thing.

[Tyler Cameron]

No, I did one.

[Tayshia Adams]

We need views for the show. Say it. Yeah.

[Charity]

We need to break news right now in a good way.

[Rachel]

We need a headline. Tayshia, give it to us.

[Tyler Cameron]

No, no, no.

[Narrator/Promotional Voice]

I just.

[Tyler Cameron]

It's just funny. Like one of my exes, I won't say who had, like, viewing parties to watch. Yeah. And he's clearly a masochist, but yeah.

[Tayshia Adams]

A what?

[Tyler Cameron]

A maso kiss.

[Tayshia Adams]

What does that mean?

[Rachel]

He likes to, like, torture. Yeah.

[Tayshia Adams]

Oh, that's. That's great.

[Tyler Cameron]

But yeah, no one of them had viewing parties every single week. Single week.

[Charity]

Obsessed with you. That's what that is.

[Tayshia Adams]

That's great.

[Rachel]

That's absolutely crazy. Literally.

[Tyler Cameron]

I'll leave it at that.

[Narrator/Promotional Voice]

I'm curious.

[Rachel]

Okay. So the last time we had a lead that had not been a contestant was Matt James. And you know him well.

[Tayshia Adams]

Yep.

[Rachel]

How do you think Taylor's going to be in that position, never having been a contestant?

[Tayshia Adams]

I think she's in a much better position than Matt.

[Rachel]

Yeah.

[Tayshia Adams]

Because Matt never did TV before. And I think we all understand when we come out of that limo for the first time, those bright lights and that lead in front of you and all that, like, that's scary. And that whole, like, going through all that preps you so much more than you would ever think.

[Rachel]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host (Dr. Jake Goodman)]

Yeah.

[Tayshia Adams]

And then to be the lead, you're like, okay, I'm just. I've been in this for a while. Like, I remember, like, the second week. The first week, I didn't talk to Hannah. I was so scared of her. So scared of everyone else. The second week, I was, like, telling producer, I'm about to kiss her over here. Y' all better follow me. Like, it's going down.

[Rachel]

Like, you know, creating your own drama.

[Tayshia Adams]

Exactly. And then. And then. So I'm so. As a lead, I feel like Matt never got that. And so we got to see, like, probably Matt trying to be, like, his best version of himself. But, like, we wanted to see Matt being Matt.

[Tyler Cameron]

Right.

[Tayshia Adams]

Which I think Taylor's done this for so long and is already, like, known for this fun, wild, crazy person.

[Charity]

Yeah.

[Tayshia Adams]

She's gonna be able to just fall right into this lead and just crush it.

[Rachel]

Well, beyond just knowing what it's like to be on camera, what about relating to the contestant, knowing how they feel? Because I feel like, as a lead, it was so important for me to look at them and be like, I know what you're feeling.

[Tyler Cameron]

Right. I know exactly the position you've been in.

[Charity]

Exactly.

[Tayshia Adams]

Yeah. I don't think she'll have that.

[Rachel]

You don't think she'll.

[Tayshia Adams]

I think she'll know a little bit from her show. Like, you know, but I'm sure she'll probably. I'm sure she'll probably be in a tough place, too, where it's just, like, gotta sit down at this dinner for two hours and talk about what, you

[Rachel]

know, over a plate of food you can't eat.

[Tayshia Adams]

She's gonna be intimidating to those guys.

[Rachel]

Absolutely.

[Tayshia Adams]

Hannah Brown was very intimidating to me when I came off the show or when I came on the show. And so, like, I could only imagine, like, the allure of who Taylor, Frankie, Paul is. These guys are all thinking of coming into it. That's intimidating.

[Tyler Cameron]

That's the part that I get stressed for. Like, for her, it's like, she has been on television. People do know her, and they have this idea of her. And all of These guys know 100%.

[Charity]

I'm like, there's no way so much about her season that's like, I have no idea who this. Like, you know what I mean? Like, that does not exist. So I do wonder how she's gonna, like, vet through that because I. It's already hard on our end and, like, people don't know us, but we're nowhere. Like, we were not in the position she was in coming in.

[Tyler Cameron]

Her show is so much more intimate about, like, their lives, their daily lives.

[Tayshia Adams]

I think we all talk about the right reasons.

[Rachel]

Like, I was gonna ask the right reasons. Do you think these guys coming on, knowing that they have a career after this in reality tv.

[Tayshia Adams]

Yeah.

[Rachel]

Being on a reoccurring show, is that gonna bring the right guys?

[Tyler Cameron]

And this is definitely dad talk. Don't forget the first season where, like, that's for sure gonna be a thing. Oh, yeah.

[Tayshia Adams]

I think. I think this. I think she has a very tough, you know, predicament here is like, are these people just trying to use me to get a leg up in this world now?

[Charity]

Yeah.

[Tyler Cameron]

You know, that's already hard to navigate. It's very hard.

[Rachel]

And with their social media activity, I don't know.

[Tyler Cameron]

I love a guy that's not on social media.

[Charity]

I'm telling you. I was like, oh, my God. When we did our interview with Kat, we were like, no tripods out here. Like, just like, Tyler, do you own a tripod?

[Tayshia Adams]

Who's cat?

[Charity]

Cat Izzo.

[Rachel]

Cat is a paradise.

[Tayshia Adams]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Rachel]

This last season.

[Tayshia Adams]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Rachel]

She also is very into the. No, no social media. No tripod owning man.

[Tayshia Adams]

Really? Yeah, yeah, I got tripods.

[Rachel]

You have a tripod. Okay.

[Tyler Cameron]

Yeah. But yours is different.

[Charity]

Do you use it for, like, are you filming, like, home stuff? Like, I. Yeah, yeah. It's for a purpose.

[Tayshia Adams]

Besides, I mean, we also are in the day and age of, like, a lot of my work outside of just even, like, the social Media influencing stuff like that. Like real estate. You got to be posting everything you're building. You're doing, like, like, the reason I just got my real estate license. And I'm getting deals I should never be getting, but because I have. I'm the second most followed agent in the country, probably. And then there's me.

[Charity]

Oh, wow.

[Tayshia Adams]

So my first deal is a seven and a half million dollar deal because I have a following. So I got my damn tripods firing everywhere.

[Charity]

Congrats. Yeah. I was like, that's a good. I'm like, claps for you. That's a little different.

[Tayshia Adams]

Trying to put my kids through school, you know?

[Rachel]

Okay.

[Tyler Cameron]

My kids, they ain't here yet, but ain't here yet.

[Charity]

Speaking of, I was like, good.

[Rachel]

How are you and Tate?

[Tayshia Adams]

We are doing well.

[Narrator/Promotional Voice]

You're doing well?

[Tayshia Adams]

Doing great. Yeah.

[Rachel]

Is there anything you can break for us on Bachelor Happy Hour? Any updates?

[Charity]

Any news, plans for the future?

[Tayshia Adams]

Yeah, it's. We're taking those steps. We're doing those things, you know.

[Rachel]

Doing what?

[Tayshia Adams]

You know, they're talking, we're planning, you know, we. We are in an amazing place. I'm so happy with her, and I think we're building something so special, and I can't wait to take those next steps. So I. I don't want to give anything away.

[Charity]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.

[Rachel]

But we are happy.

[Charity]

We know what that means a little bit. So that's.

[Tayshia Adams]

But if you want to know, just stay tuned to under construction on my YouTube.

[Charity]

Okay. Period.

[Rachel]

Stay tuned.

[Charity]

Oh, I love that.

[Tyler Cameron]

You see, that was such a good plug.

[Charity]

I know.

[Tayshia Adams]

That was really good. So a success story. Charity, how's it going over there?

[Charity]

Everything is great, really. We're in the trenches with wedding planning, but nothing else. Nothing more exciting.

[Tayshia Adams]

I'm ordained. If you need a stranger to come up and do it.

[Charity]

Are you really now?

[Tayshia Adams]

Yeah.

[Charity]

Don't tempt me. Okay.

[Rachel]

Are you gonna wear the tool belt while you marry them, or do you have to pay extra for that?

[Tayshia Adams]

No, I wouldn't do that to them.

[Tyler Cameron]

No, wait, Charity, you have your dress.

[Tayshia Adams]

They're class.

[Charity]

I do have. I do have my dress. I have my main ceremony dress. I'm on the hunt for a reception dress, so anytime. I know.

[Tyler Cameron]

So fun.

[Charity]

Yeah, no, that is, like, one of the fun parts of it. I'm like, just set me up all the bridal appointments so I can go and try on all these dresses.

[Tayshia Adams]

Literally.

[Charity]

A little princess.

[Tayshia Adams]

That's amazing. That's so cool. When it works out.

[Charity]

I know. It's crazy.

[Rachel]

She still has a Neil Lane.

[Charity]

I do.

[Tyler Cameron]

I know.

[Charity]

It'll be. It's two years. Two and a half. Will be almost three. End of May. April.

[Tyler Cameron]

Oh, wow.

[Charity]

Yeah, Actually, like, around. Around the corner. Not a year and a half. Almost. Almost, yeah. Three. That's crazy.

[Tayshia Adams]

How old are you guys?

[Charity]

Like, I'm 30. He's 33. So that's a solid age difference.

[Tayshia Adams]

Yeah, yeah, we're both 32 and 33, so she's like, let's go. I'm like, all right, we're getting there.

[Rachel]

Okay, you guys, we're gonna play a little game, okay? And it's called renovate the date. And I'm gonna tell you guys some classic bachelor dates, and you're gonna say how you would renovate them. So, Charity, I'll do the first one.

[Charity]

Okay.

[Rachel]

The hot tub date in the middle of the field. Oh, how would you renovate it?

[Tayshia Adams]

Naked.

[Rachel]

Oh, naked. Okay. Oh, so just, like, green, like, black boxes. Black box. Is that what they use?

[Tyler Cameron]

I think we actually did that.

[Charity]

Yeah, that happened on Zach season.

[Narrator/Promotional Voice]

Were you.

[Rachel]

You were naked on Zach Season?

[Charity]

Not me. No. Thank you.

[Tayshia Adams]

I got two black boxes on my season.

[Rachel]

Were you naked on Hannah season?

[Tayshia Adams]

Yeah. Well, I got. I got. I had a kilt on, so I just kept showing the cameras.

[Rachel]

Nothing on underneath.

[Tyler Cameron]

He's so crazy. I had a couple black boxes.

[Tayshia Adams]

I got two black.

[Tyler Cameron]

My season. No, I didn't get that. Guys did that.

[Tayshia Adams]

Really?

[Rachel]

Yeah.

[Tyler Cameron]

Guy showed up naked, remember? Like, stripped down completely and, like, held himself. Who was?

[Tayshia Adams]

Nathan. He held it, or do you let it show?

[Tyler Cameron]

No, he held to himself. I was like, I'm here for you. I was like, whoa.

[Tayshia Adams]

Did he shake your hand?

[Rachel]

Actually, probably after Taisha. Any. Any renovation for the hot tub in the field?

[Tyler Cameron]

Well, I guess I want to know where the field is.

[Rachel]

Like, I had a hot tub in the field. Charity, did you had a hot tub?

[Charity]

I had one. Truly in the middle of.

[Tayshia Adams]

That's beautiful.

[Charity]

Washington.

[Rachel]

Skamania.

[Charity]

Bye.

[Tayshia Adams]

Bye.

[Rachel]

Were you done?

[Charity]

I was so.

[Tayshia Adams]

Yeah.

[Rachel]

You wouldn't renovate that at all?

[Charity]

I mean, I wouldn't renovate the person. Location. Yeah.

[Tyler Cameron]

Right, right, right.

[Tayshia Adams]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Rachel]

It's actually my hot tub wasn't that warm.

[Tayshia Adams]

Really?

[Rachel]

No, I don't think so.

[Tayshia Adams]

It's probably a little bit more bearable.

[Tyler Cameron]

Such a weird thing. Why do they do that?

[Rachel]

Because they want us to make out in the hot tub.

[Tayshia Adams]

It's like a classic. Like. Like, when I was in high school, I was, like, sneaking girls into, like, the local hotel hot tub. Like, that was, like, Romance back.

[Tyler Cameron]

Yeah. They want to get us in our bathing suits.

[Charity]

And I'm not gonna lie, I would actually hate that.

[Rachel]

And it is weird because you have to change in the middle of the field, like, and our divider, like, you could fully see through it.

[Tayshia Adams]

Really?

[Rachel]

Yeah. So it's like, it was pre fantasy suite.

[Tayshia Adams]

Let me guess. You didn't pick that guy, huh?

[Rachel]

I didn't.

[Tyler Cameron]

Okay.

[Tayshia Adams]

She saw through that divider. She's like, nope.

[Tyler Cameron]

In the middle of the field is really hard. But I will say, the one hot tub that I did like was when I was actually on Paradise. They did it with, like, thousands of, like, string hanging lights.

[Charity]

Oh, wait, cute.

[Tyler Cameron]

Like, hundreds of thousands. It was so beautiful.

[Charity]

Okay. See?

[Tyler Cameron]

Yeah. Where they filmed in the middle of, like, it was, like, probably a good. I don't really know where it was, but it was, like, outside, and you

[Rachel]

had a date there.

[Tyler Cameron]

It was really pretty.

[Tayshia Adams]

There's no date.

[Narrator/Promotional Voice]

Truly.

[Tayshia Adams]

No.

[Charity]

Honestly, I can't.

[Tayshia Adams]

I've always tried to try and recreate it. I'm like, this is a lot of effort. It's a lot.

[Rachel]

A lot of effort and a lot of money.

[Tayshia Adams]

Yeah. Like, let me put up a thousand string lights under my hot tub, you know?

[Tyler Cameron]

Like, I know.

[Rachel]

Kate deserves it.

[Tyler Cameron]

It's hard.

[Rachel]

You better figure that out.

[Tyler Cameron]

Yeah, figure it out.

[Charity]

Okay.

[Rachel]

Group date. Pool party at the Bachelor mansion. I don't really like that date.

[Tayshia Adams]

That's not for. Really. That's not for you. That's for the viewers. That's for us to see. Who's got the hot bots? Who doesn't? Like, we can't renovate that.

[Charity]

No, I had. Did you have one Rachel on your season?

[Rachel]

We were supposed to, but then it was raining, so we had to have a talent show.

[Charity]

Okay. Yeah. I had one on my season.

[Rachel]

How was that?

[Charity]

I enjoyed it, but I didn't really. I was too, like, I don't even think I actually got in the pool. I was, like, having conversations. I never had an opportunity to, like,

[Rachel]

get in and didn't get to put your goggles on.

[Charity]

Right.

[Tyler Cameron]

I think I had a water. Like, a water polo challenge that was actually really fun to watch. The guys got really interested.

[Tayshia Adams]

I have a question for y'. All. When y'. All, like, Like, I love the athletic challenge. Yeah. I got to do roller derby, which was.

[Charity]

Oh, I do too.

[Tayshia Adams]

Crazy and fun. When you're watching these guys go for it. Because I'm like, this is my chance to put on for them.

[Charity]

Correct.

[Tayshia Adams]

You know, like, what do you think? Is the guy too much Of a try hard. If he wins. If he wins, Is it hot?

[Charity]

Like, I'm looking for all the things. I'm looking for the guy who's just doing really too much, but then also someone who's, like, giving effort but is okay and good sportsmanship. Like, it's okay if you don't, like, you're not number one. That's really important.

[Tyler Cameron]

Totally.

[Charity]

So, yeah, I'm looking for ever everything.

[Tyler Cameron]

It's a good judge of character.

[Charity]

Yeah.

[Tyler Cameron]

So if you're trying to just be, like, the absolute most, like, that's like,

[Charity]

please, like, you're doing too much. Settle down.

[Tyler Cameron]

Also, if you're, like, subtle and, like, not the loudest in the room, but, like, you're also very athletic. Do you remember on Colton season, we were in Thailand and we did, like, a muay Thai class, and we fought each other in a ring that I knocked kin in the face.

[Rachel]

And we are actually, like, physically doing these challenges. People don't understand.

[Tyler Cameron]

We literally had, like, a class where we were learning how to punch and kick and all these things, and then we had to fight against each other.

[Charity]

Yeah.

[Rachel]

Did you win?

[Tyler Cameron]

We had, obviously.

[Charity]

But, like.

[Tyler Cameron]

But we had, like, whatever. Helmets and, like, it was crazy.

[Tayshia Adams]

We need to bring that stuff.

[Rachel]

I didn't like it when the guys would wear helmets and stuff like that.

[Tyler Cameron]

No, I need to edit you into that, Rachel.

[Rachel]

But when they're fighting, it's hard.

[Tayshia Adams]

You're a tough critic.

[Rachel]

What if I said that's tough?

[Tayshia Adams]

Well, then we get a concussion and we're now we're like, you know, we're not that smart anymore.

[Narrator/Promotional Voice]

Okay, fine.

[Rachel]

We can wear helmets. Did they wear helmets for your season?

[Tyler Cameron]

We had.

[Rachel]

Did you guys have a challenge?

[Tyler Cameron]

Yeah, we had a wrestling rink and the guys got oiled up.

[Narrator/Promotional Voice]

Oh.

[Tyler Cameron]

And they fought each other. It was actually very attractive.

[Rachel]

Wait, Gabby had a wrestling day, too?

[Narrator/Promotional Voice]

You know what?

[Rachel]

They love these.

[Tayshia Adams]

I love it.

[Charity]

All right, the last one is, of course, the one that most people anticipate and wait for. Fantasy suite date.

[Tayshia Adams]

Of course.

[Charity]

Y' all change or renovate about those.

[Rachel]

Did you make it to the fantasy suit?

[Tayshia Adams]

I did. I did. My fantasy suit was awesome.

[Charity]

I had a great one.

[Tayshia Adams]

Yeah. I think I just hate how everyone has an opinion on what goes on in the fantasy suite.

[Rachel]

I guess we talked about this last week.

[Tyler Cameron]

Yeah.

[Tayshia Adams]

Like, my thought as a contestant was you can do whatever you want. As a lead, you can sleep with whoever you want. Do whatever you want. Because if you pick me, I want you to have flipped every stone and made sure that I'm the guy you want to be with because I had a history before you, you know, it's like, I don't care what you do, you know? And so that was always my theory going into it. I hate when I see, like, people getting bashed because I slept with this many people or that many people. I think as long as you're transparent, you know, if it's like. If it's like, something that say. I know that was, like, controversial on your season, like, if he's telling. If you're telling him beforehand, like, I don't. Like, if you're gonna pick me, like, I want you to just be me. You. You have. You can say that. And it's on him to make a decision if he's gonna, you know, respect that or mess around, you know? So I think it's like. I don't know. It's. It's become so, like, critical.

[Charity]

Yeah.

[Tyler Cameron]

Yeah.

[Rachel]

You know, like, there's no right way

[Tayshia Adams]

to go, you know? And it's an intimacy is a huge part of a relationship.

[Rachel]

Totally.

[Tyler Cameron]

I think the women were probably more criticized than the guys, for sure.

[Tayshia Adams]

Yeah.

[Tyler Cameron]

Unfortunately.

[Tayshia Adams]

Yeah. You guys definitely see. I don't know. Then the guys get criticized just as bad, too.

[Rachel]

I. I think it is both. Both. Thank you.

[Tayshia Adams]

Like, Clayton got, you know, crushed and. But, like.

[Rachel]

Yeah, exactly.

[Charity]

I think he just didn't set it up like you said, Tyler, like, if you're having these conversations with whoever your final three are at that point, it's like, yeah, just be transparent. And if, like, say, for instance, one of my guys is like, I want you to do whatever you need to do that way at the end. I know, like, what you just said then, great. We've all had that conversation. But, like, Clayton did not do that at all. He was literally telling you guys, like, completely.

[Tayshia Adams]

And I think about, like, I think about Hannah Brown season, like, yeah. Her moment with Peter and Jed. And then Luke has this whole, like, falling out with her.

[Charity]

Like. Right.

[Tayshia Adams]

That was such a cool moment for just, like, I feel like women watching in general. Like, she's like, he was, like, trying to shame her for having sex. She's like. And try to beat her with the Bible. And she's like, she beat him back with the Bible, you know, and it's like, no, Jesus still loves me. And, like, this is going to keep moving, you know? And I thought that was, like, so empowering. And I think a lot of, like, there were so much people, like, responding to that, because I feel like they've been put in Tough situations where guys shame them and whatnot.

[Tyler Cameron]

So I think totally.

[Tayshia Adams]

Like, as a viewer, I think we shouldn't be so critical of these people, but learn from these people.

[Charity]

Absolutely.

[Tyler Cameron]

Also, you want these people to get engaged. Right. And last. And, like, have a real relationship. Like, let us see the process of what's necessary. I mean, there's a way to go about it and not, you know.

[Charity]

Yeah.

[Tyler Cameron]

So would I renovate it? I would just keep it the same viewership.

[Charity]

Okay. Well, with that being said, one final question before we let you guys go. Would you guys rather have to completely start the Bachelor Mansion renovation from scratch or survive another season as a contestant in.

[Tyler Cameron]

Oh.

[Charity]

Oh. I'm like. I thought that was going to be easy.

[Tyler Cameron]

No, I mean, I. I'm in a

[Tayshia Adams]

relationship, so I. I'll. I'll renovate the mansion.

[Tyler Cameron]

Yeah, I would renovate it.

[Charity]

Okay.

[Tyler Cameron]

Easily.

[Tayshia Adams]

If Tate was the lead, I would go on as a contestant.

[Charity]

That's what I assume.

[Tyler Cameron]

That's so sweet.

[Tayshia Adams]

And I would win her heart and

[Rachel]

all the power, and you can build her a hot tub with string lights for your day.

[Tyler Cameron]

That'd be cute.

[Tayshia Adams]

There it is.

[Tyler Cameron]

But we wouldn't take away our. Our previous, like, time on the show, right?

[Charity]

No, no, no. Yeah.

[Narrator/Promotional Voice]

Yeah.

[Tyler Cameron]

I don't want to do a redo, but I would just redo the mansion.

[Charity]

Yeah, that's what I thought you guys would say. Yeah.

[Tayshia Adams]

Yeah.

[Rachel]

Well, thank you guys so much for being here. It's been so good having you in studio, and I can't wait to watch the rest of Bachelor Mansion Takeover.

This is Julian Edelman from Games With Names. I want to take a second to talk about something that's personal to me. I've had the privilege of working closely with Robert Kraft for a long time

[Tayshia Adams]

and one thing I've always respected is

[Bowen Yang]

how seriously he takes up standing up to hate. As a Jewish athlete, my identity is something I am proud of, but I

[Tayshia Adams]

also know what it feels like to

[Bowen Yang]

be singled out for it.

[Tayshia Adams]

That's why this new commercial for the

[Bowen Yang]

Blue Square Alliance Against Hate that aired during the Big Game really hit home.

[Tayshia Adams]

It's about showing up for someone when

[Bowen Yang]

they're targeted, even if you don't have the perfect words. And sometimes standing next to someone is enough and you can show support by sharing the Blue Square.
