[MUSIC - MIKE RENO & ANNE WILSON, "ALMOST PARADISE"]
Hey, guys.
I'm Tracy.
And I'm Andy.
And I'm Corey.
And Paradise is officially closed.
Oh, that's right, for the season.
Oh, closed.
Yeah.
OK.
There has-- this has been quite a journey.
And we have to wrap it all up.
But I thought, why not bring in one of our favorite couples
from Paradise--
Kendall and Joe!
Yay!
Hi.
Yay, welcome back.
It's so nice to meet you.
Thank you, I'm always here.
Thank you for coming.
I know--
I had a fun celebrity sighting.
When?
This is good.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
So this weekend, I may or may not have had a drink.
Uh-huh?
[INAUDIBLE]
I may or may not have been, you know, a man about town.
Yeah.
And who do I see when I turn to my left?
I'm assuming a big celebrity.
How can you miss them?
These two.
These two?
These two.
I was super excited.
Wait, did you say hello?
I sure did.
It was only slightly awkward for me.
I was like, I'm drunk, hey
These two are a happy couple, but we
want to break down what's happened with everybody else.
Yes.
And then we want to find out what's going on with you guys.
OK.
So real quick, you guys were our top left.
By the way this is where you were from the beginning,
not even just because you're here.
Big fans.
Oh.
You know top left Is always the fave.
I'm pretty sure I was on the left.
Like I was the first one--
Yeah, but then you were replaced by someone else.
Jenna and Jordan, Crystal and Chris, both engaged.
Did you see that coming?
This one especially.
James-- that one I didn't see.
Jordan and Jenna, I thought they were fun,
but I thought it would fade.
I thought so, I thought--
Jordan was so into Jenna, like I felt like, they
were going to be strong.
Jordan is your boy, right?
You love him.
I like Jordan.
I didn't think they were going to get engaged, no.
I thought Chris and Crystal were.
Really?
Definitely.
And I was saying that the entire time.
Wow that's crazy.
OK, so let's talk about some people that didn't work out.
Shushanna and Robby, it never had a chance.
No.
I don't think that--
Too late.
They never had a chance.
Too late.
Olivia and John.
They stayed together and then broke up, apparently
after Paradise.
Yeah.
It wasn't really a thing.
He walked away.
Yeah.
Astrid and Kevin?
Well, we love them.
They're like--
Yes.
They're like Mama and Papa of Paradise.
I never thought they would break.
And so we think they're going strong now?
I--
--ish.
I think that Kevin was so much in his head.
Right.
You say-- yeah he was.
But he had been through it three times, right?
I know.
That's--
It was weird with them because they were really strong
the whole time.
I was so surprised that they didn't end up together
at the end of it.
But now they're working on it.
And I feel like that's going to end positive.
You guys--
I know.
We have got to talk about Annaliese and Kamil.
By the way--
I was shocked.
I--
I was so shocked.
At the reunion?
No you were not.
We all saw that coming a mile away.
I saw that coming.
Oh my god I knew that was coming.
Don't laugh and smile.
Not a chance.
Nobody--
She was going the whole time, "Quit laughing.
Quit laughing."
I wasn't laughing.
He was nervous laughing.
I was just like--
Awkward.
There was no way.
It was awkward.
I knew, I really thought that was coming.
I honestly think he thought that was
the best way to do it, as opposed to faking
that they were together.
Well here's the thing, he came off
looking like the biggest jerk of that show.
I love that she left and came back, though.
Because she was so good when she came back.
Yeah, because she needs to have a backbone.
And what did Tia say?
Tia was like, "Oh you go, girl."
"Do it, do it, do it."
Yes.
I was like--
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
Yes.
She just did--
Is there anybody we missed?
Oh, Jordan and Cassandra.
Wait, this was my favorite one.
Because Cassandra came in and she was like, OK.
He looks so much different with hair.
I didn't know it was him.
He's hotter without hair, I think.
But she came in and she was like, "OK, well, we just met,
but I like where it's going.
And so like I would maybe see it work."
And then he was like, "So we're not.
We're not going to do this."
We're done.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
So really the successful couples Chris and Chris,
Kendall and Joe, Jenna and Jordan, and Astrid and Kevin.
Here's what I have to know, though.
Because I'm not going to lie, I was on,
like I said, an emotional roller coaster with you two.
Because you guys seemed like the strongest, you guys and Kevin
and Astrid, I felt. And then what happened?
You freaked out.
I did freak out.
I tend to freak out a lot in relationships.
And I think with Joe and I, it's such an expedited experience
that I got in my head way too much.
And I think that last day what I shouldn't have done
is I shouldn't have gone to bed.
I should have actually talked with Joe, and figured it out.
And I didn't.
And then the next day it was Rose Ceremony,
and so we weren't able to see each other the entire day
and kind of just built up.
Oh, I didn't know that.
I didn't realize that.
Oh, they don't let you see each--
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
--other.
And so Joe it kind of seemed like you
knew that, when you finally did see each other,
that it was good.
Oh, yeah, I knew.
I knew right away.
Oh yeah?
Yep.
I knew by her change in her attitude.
My demeanor.
But did you think that it was ever going to turn around?
Like you knew going--
you knew that in that moment?
Like you knew that you'd get off the show
and then you'd probably
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
I didn't know.
No.
No, I actually thought I was probably
going to be the next Bachelor.
Ooh.
He did.
You did?
I feel like--
I, you know what, I just figured.
I'm like--
That's a fun head on a pillow.
The truth is when you get broken up on a show like this--
It's in the realm of possibilities.
Yeah, and--
The odds are in your favor.
Yeah.
And I remember, I was upset.
And I was mad.
And then I was like, eh.
He was in the good no matter what.
All emotions.
So what we don't get to see is like who do you hang out with?
Girlfriends.
Yeah, like girlfriends--
Gal pals.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
Do like all the girls go and mingle?
Bibiana and Astrid.
Yes, so those are your girls?
The coolest ones.
That's who I would choose.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
Present company excluded, obviously.
But I love them.
We actually hung out all the time.
We did hang out all the time
And then she said at the end that she barely knew
me and broke up with me.
So I don't know where that came from.
But you guys-- there was no drama you guys were cool.
You'd always see each other just like hanging out
in the background.
You didn't-- you weren't like up in the front causing a rift
or anything.
No we kind of just had our own drama within ourselves.
I mean, I figured you guys would end the season together,
but I didn't know if you guys were going to end up together.
I think we thought we were going to end the season together,
too.
So did I. I didn't think--
I think, yeah, I think the entire time
we kind of planned that.
Had you not freaked out, and you guys
would have made it to the end, and Joe would have proposed--
Great question.
I wouldn't have.
Oh that was another good question OK.
No question, Kendall.
We were not there yet.
No, we weren't there yet.
Yeah, we just kind of figured that it
was better when we went along our own timeline as opposed
to feeling like we had to force something.
Well that's understand about people who like left the show
and just like decided not to do the fantasy suite.
I'm like-- well, I mean, you guys
are excluded because you had your moment.
But like the people who don't do the fantasy suite--
Yeah, we're done.
We're going to leave.
You don't have to get engaged like there's no rules.
Why don't you just go do the fantasy suite, get that dream,
and then be like nope.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
If I had known.
I didn't know the fantasy suite was the next day
Yeah we didn't know.
Because they never tell you anything.
Yeah.
So I was like my head.
In my head.
I was thinking, oh, there's going
to be a bunch of girls coming next week.
Right, get while the getting is still good.
And I was like dang like I feel like--
I felt really insecure that last night.
Extremely insecure.
When you flew to Chicago--
and we saw that all take place obviously.
Thank goodness there happened to be a camera there.
I know.
Lucky.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
That was like, by the way--
Elevator opens.
The elevator opens and I was just standing there.
So when you decided to do that had you
gotten him on the phone?
Like had you talked to him?
Yeah.
So you had?
OK.
We had spoken a little bit.
And we hadn't-- we actually hadn't figured out what we were
going to do.
What we had decided was we're going
to see each other as soon as possible and talk about it.
And, initially, I got my ticket before I even told ABC
that I was even going to go.
Have you seen the taxidermy collection?
Yeah.
It's cool.
I have no problem with it.
Yeah, I mean yeah.
You know
Like he wakes up my bed and there's like a freaking thing
staring at him.
You've got to name them.
You probably have names for them already.
I do.
I name all my taxidermy.
There's not that much.
You don't have that much.
No, it's not like a huge room of like taxidermy.
No it's not.
It's just like a few.
I don't even know--
Because I kind of that's how I envision it in my mind,
is just like--
It's just like--
From my date with Ari and I it's like a huge warehouse.
And it's like I thought it was your house maybe, you know.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
There's no way.
A big thanks to Kendall and Joe for joining us today.
I love you guys, and I'm very happy--
Love you.
And we'll see you guys again in January
when The Bachelor returns with Colton as the lead man.
Mark your calendars.
And comment below to tell us what you think.
And in the meantime tell me your favorite thing about Joe.
Talk about ice cream flavors.
I think my favorite thing about Joe is that he's super bougie.
You wouldn't know it.
You would never know it, but he--
That's not true.
But like bougie about what?
It's so true.
Clothes.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
So bougie about clothes.
You're like an onion.
We just peel you and learn more.
You need someone with layers.
I do need someone with lots of layers, lots to figure out.
I love a layer.
