I'm kind of shocked that I'm meeting you, because I really thought that you and
Nick were gonna end up together.
And I think a lot of people thought that.
>> Me too.
>> So right now, as it's airing, you're still there.
And yet, you obviously don't end up there, because you're here.
>> Right.
>> So you didn't leave on your own.
He let you go?
He said goodbye?
>> He let me go.
He let me go.
>> Wow.
>> I was shocked, too.
I really thought that Nick and I had a really strong connection.
And I was pretty heartbroken when it happened.
But I moved on since then.
>> And how long ago was that?
Cuz it seems like you're moving on pretty quickly to be the Bachelorette now.
So you couldn't have been that heartbroken.
>> [LAUGH] >> Like, God, Okay.
Alright like >> That was yesterday.
No it was 3 months ago.
>> 3 months ago yeah, alright.
So, and so it really did catch you like the whole thing is weird right?
You're competing and
you're living with these women that you're dating the same guy.
All of it is weird.
>> Right.
It's different.
It's not the typical way that I like to date a man.
>> No. >> But.
>> No
>> You know it was something different for
me to try and I really had a connection with Nick and I was shocked you know?
>> Yeah. >> I was kinda sceptical that it would
happen that fast but it did and it didn't work out, I guess he was looking for
something else.
>> Mm-hm.
>> His loss.
>> Yes, well it is.
Or maybe we don't know, I mean you don't know who he picked either right?
Or do you know?
>> Maybe. >> [LAUGH]
>> You do know.
>> I'm gonna be watching for the first time just like everyone else.
>> Right. But you've heard, because now,
you're in a family.
You're doing a show with these folks.
So now- >> [LAUGH]
>> Someone has told you who it is and
it's Karin.
>> [LAUGH] I love Karen, can I just put that out there?
I love Karen.
>> Yeah, I do too now.
I mean in the beginning I thought she was crazy, like really crazy.
>> [LAUGH] >> But I think you can see,
looking at the show, why we think she's crazy.
>> Yeah, well, unfortunately you only get to see some sides of Karen.
I got to see all sides living in the house with her.
>> [LAUGH] >> We saw a lot of sides of her too.
>> [LAUGH] >> That's great, well that's one side.
That's one way.
>> Yeah we saw her front side, we saw a bunch of sides.
>> [LAUGH] >> And you're an attorney, right?
So, when the show finish you just went back to attorneying?
>> Yeah >> [LAUGH]
>> Yeah, I just finished a trial a couple
of weeks ago.
>> Really? >> Yes.
>> What's it like to have Rachel as your,
defending you?
Or what, I don't know what kind of attorney are you?
>> I do civil defense litigation.
>> All right. >> So I'm a trial attorney, I'm in trial.
>> So wow, that must be very strange for people to maybe you win more cases now.
>> I would hope so.
>> Yeah. >> Right?
>> Right. [LAUGH] All right.
So now you're a bachelorette and you start this in May, right?
I think. Or you've already started?
>> March. No, no, no. >> You start March, we see it May.
>> Mm-hm. >> And, what are you looking for?
>> I really don't have a physical type, except for a great smile.
I'm a sucker for a great smile.
Who isn't?
>> That's an important thing.
>> But I'm looking for a guy who can make me laugh.
>> Mm-hm.
>> I'm looking for a guy who knows exactly what he wants, who's ambitious,
ready to start a family, ready to get married, cuz I'm at that phase in my life.
>> Mm-hm. >> So I'm really just looking for
a guy who's secure, confident, and knows exactly what it is that he wants.
>> Mm-hm.
Okay, and you haven't had any luck finding that guy in the world without cameras?
>> [LAUGH] You would think it would be easy.
>> I know, I mean you're beautiful.
>> Thank you.
>> You're beautiful and you're just >> I just love your personality,
you're smart and I mean.
>> Thank you >> I don't know, I don't understand.
I think he picks Karen, cuz it seems like why she still there otherwise?
>> [LAUGH] Cuz she's great.
>> She is great.
>> You've got the chance.
>> I know, she was on the show and I really could see, she is really but I
>> [LAUGH]
>> Then it could be Vanessa, you know?
>> It could be Vanessa.
>> I don't think it's Raven >> It could be Raven.
>> No, I think her wrestling him in the mud that last week was
the wrong thing to do.
>> [LAUGH] >> Well,
it seems like he kinda likes that.
You saw the bounce house.
That's his thing.
>> No he likes shopping with Karen better than wrestling in the mud.
[LAUGH] >> Well, who wouldn't?
>> Yeah, that was a better- >> Who wouldn't?
[LAUGH] >> That was a better day.
All right, I have a challenge for you.
You're going to start filming soon, right?
>> Mm-hm.
>> Alright.
So, I don't know what the charity of your choice is, but
if you get one of these things in a shot on the very first episode.
>> I will give $10,000 to the charity of your choice.
>> So, >> Okay.
>> I guess you need to be sitting somewhere or you can wear this.
>> On me? I- >> You can wear those.
>> I can wear those, okay.
>> You can be drinking wine from this.
You can whatever you want.
>> Okay. >> All right, and then $10,000.
But It has to be, I have to see it on the first show.
>> Now if I get both of them in the shot.
>> $20,000.
>> All right, let's go for it.
