[MUSIC PLAYING]
Hey, guys!
I'm Tracy.
And I'm Andy.
And this episode was an emotional roller coaster.
I cried.
I laughed.
No.
We got it.
I didn't laugh.
I just cried.
We got it!
We've been looking at it all season in the teases.
And it finally happened.
The fence jump!
We got the fence jump.
It finally happened.
And so we obviously have a lot to talk about,
mainly all about that.
Yes.
And so let's bring in the man who
can jump a much smaller fence, Corey Palent!
Bring in the--
Yay!
We got our moment.
What'd you think?
Well, I thought about leaping over the fence as my entrance
today, and then realized that I'm not nearly as athletic
as Colton, so I skipped it.
He's a giant dude.
The roll-in's much more my speed.
You guys, I want to say from the very beginning,
I was not disappointed.
Not at all.
Like--
First of all, this was the most nuts episode of the season,
and maybe one of the craziest--
In "Bachelor" history?
Well, because so much happened in this episode
that you've never seen happen.
It was very unconventional "Bachelor."
Oh, yeah.
You've never seen--
It started conventional.
Yeah.
OK, so anyway, so they're in beautiful Portugal--
they're in Algarve, Portugal--
they said it, like, 15 times.
I tried to say it at home, and it just--
Algarve tourism must have just paid a lot of money
to get those hits.
A lot of money.
Beautiful.
So the first date goes to Tayshia.
Yeah.
And they go on this helicopter ride.
And they go to--
Very "Bachelor."
They go to the--
Beautiful coastline.
They go to a lighthouse.
Beautiful lighthouse.
They have a--
Did anyone else notice that when they have a picnic,
that he rolls out the blanket for them to sit on
and it is the rockiest area ever?
Oh.
And they go to dinner.
She brings up her ex-husband, and we find out
that he cheated on her.
Yes.
If you're the ex-husband right now--
Bummer.
Real big bummer.
You probably were hoping that that didn't come out.
But anyway, so they have this talk.
And then, really, we just get right to it.
They get the key to the fantasy suite.
So then they wake up, and they're in bed,
and he's got kind of the messy hair.
And so then you're wondering, is he, isn't he?
But then Colton really gets that confusion out of the way
by saying, we didn't do it.
Yeah.
And then Tayshia also says it wasn't exactly what she was--
Yeah, it wasn't what she was expecting-- or hoping?
Expecting, hoping for.
We all saw it coming, then, right?
Yeah.
Should we all just take a deep breath?
Because I just feel like there's a lot to talk about.
Ready?
Just breathe in.
OK.
This is the Cassie date.
So they go on this date where they kind of go explore
Portugal, and they go and they drive, and they go to the cafe,
and they're dancing, and they're doing all this stuff.
So then they get to this cliff overlooking
another beautiful water--
More cliffs, yeah.
Yeah.
Insert Portugal shot here.
And they open this wine, and he's like--
and you could tell that--
I feel like him saying this, he did not realize the beast
that it was about to unleash.
Oh, no.
As soon as he said it, that was amazing.
Oh, my god.
So he--
I'm so excited.
He was all in, and he thought she would be too, right?
Right.
So he said, I didn't get your dad's permission.
That throws Cassie for a loop.
Well, I understand that indecisiveness
after only dating someone for about five seconds.
Everybody should.
Yes.
And being 23.
Agreed.
I get that.
Yes.
Two things stacked against her.
Yes.
That's a real reaction.
Right.
Yeah, so anyway, she freaks out.
We never usually see this moment where
they go back to their respective hotels or whatever.
Nope, yeah.
On their break where they--
To get ready for the next date.
Usually, it's like they go from driving around to dinner.
Yeah.
And suddenly, dad has flown all the way
from Huntington Beach, California.
No bags either.
So he comes in, and she's surprised to see him,
but then also, kind of not.
Kind of expecting.
Yeah, so, and then they sit on the couch,
and they have this conversation.
Yeah.
She's like, I'm worried, because you knew with mom right away.
Oh, right.
Yeah.
And he's like, yeah, well, this is a really big decision.
That's when you knew it was over.
So then Cassie has this moment with her producer
where she basically says, I am going to go and I'm leaving.
Right.
I'm going to go tell Colton I am leaving.
OK, so then dinner comes, and he can tell right away--
Immediately.
--that something's going on.
And it's the thing he's--
Well, because the whole time, she just
looked like she was in a full flop sweat of--
And this is the thing he's been saying and teasing
to the entire time.
My biggest fear is that--
Is that someone's not ready.
Yeah.
OK-- or no, that somebody won't feel the same way
that I felt for someone.
You guys, what was so sad is that Colton
realized what was happening.
Ehh.
Yeah, so he basically says, OK--
Nothing else matters.
Because Cassie kept saying, I'm not
going to be ready in two weeks for a proposal.
She's like, I'm not there yet.
I'm not there yet.
I'm not where you are.
Right.
But Colton says, forget about the show, forget about--
All of it.
--how this is supposed to go.
Yes.
I am OK if, in two weeks, we're just dating.
Which, by the way, was a shocking response
to me, because prior to that, he was
ready to be engaged and start a family.
But she basically just said I don't think I'll--
I don't know if I'll ever get there with you.
Yes.
Yeah.
Which he was just like--
Which that is an awful thing to hear.
I mean, that is-- no, that's the worst thing to hear.
That's the worst thing.
By the way--
No, no, you're cute and I like you--
--off-camera, that's a terrible thing to hear.
I love you.
Well, here's the thing--
Uh-huh.
Oh, my heart just broke for him.
So then Cassie says, no, I'm leaving.
She gets in the car, cries, whatever.
He goes back up to his room.
Where he thought everything was going to happen.
Yep.
We don't see what happens in there, but he says--
Garbly garble, muffle muffle.
No, but then he says something like, I'm done,
I'm done with this.
Yeah.
Opens the door--
I can see why he would be done with it, after all that.
Goes down the stairs, bumps the camera.
I don't know that he slammed the camera.
I think it was a--
I think it was between a bump and a hit.
I mean, he was a football player,
so I think it was a little, like--
So then Colton's like, gotta get out of
here, but he can't, because there's
this huge fence in the way.
Yeah.
But doesn't matter for Superman.
Boing.
I still-- well, that goes to show, one,
his athletic ability, but also how tall he is.
Yes.
He's, like, nine feet tall.
Everything about this--
I'm for the guy that's like, can you open the gate?
Everything was superhuman.
That's what Chris Harrison did.
Can you imagine if there was a moment where
he was like, [GRUNTS].
You guys, I will say, "The Bachelor"-- no, yeah.
But he didn't.
Half of me expected it.
It was smoothest, most amazing thing.
Meanwhile, where does Colton think he's going?
He just wanted to get away.
Yeah, but I love that he's just--
Right.
Like [INAUDIBLE].
He's disappearing into Portugal for the rest of his life.
And it's dark, and they're all like, Colton, come back.
Meanwhile, he's probably 10 feet ahead of them.
Oh, for sure.
I know.
We're going to see next week.
Just outside of the light.
He's just filing his nails somewhere.
Well, no, they eventually find him.
His producer finds him, who I think it was Caitlyn.
The point is, doesn't matter, finds him,
and they're walking, and he--
I don't even remember what he says.
It was just so dramatic, and that's when we get our--
Just a lot more of the, I'm done, I'm done, I'm over it.
The most dramatic To Be Continued of all time.
Yes, it was a really good To Be Continued.
Oh, for sure.
I cannot wait.
My heart is pounding right now.
Yeah.
Wow.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Now would be the time in the normal cube of events--
Yeah.
OK.
--where we would cross Cassie off.
Right.
I don't think we can.
However, we have pre-decided kind of as a group--
Yeah, we can't.
There's something else coming her.
What do we think the ending is?
I don't know what the ending is.
I think she still wins.
But early in the season, they teased him out with a box.
Now, you said early on, there's no ring in that box,
but what's going on there?
OK, so here's my--
OK--
A promise to Cassie.
Oh, wait!
I just came up with a prediction.
Here we go.
Oh.
No, this is what I've been looking for.
Actually, based on you saying that.
OK.
You're welcome.
OK.
Well, so we see a little bit in the tease
that he goes to a door, which, again, gave me
like Ari Becca Kufrin vibes.
Ooh.
Knocking on that holding house.
And I think Cassie's there.
I think he goes to try to reconnect with her.
Maybe she's had some time to think about what happened
and separate herself from her family.
Yeah.
I think he says, please just date me.
I think she gives in, and I think she says,
OK, I will date you.
And then maybe-- I either to think
two things about that shot.
One, that was a shot that they took at the very beginning
of the season as just a--
Promo?
--promo in the cliffs of LA where we never actually see it.
Right.
Or they go to the finale spot, he has the ring,
he opens it, and says, I'm not proposing right now, because I
just want to date you.
Yeah, well, I think it's almost a joke.
I agree with you.
I think he shows up and he's like--
They're both in on it?
--ready?
Yes.
They're both in on it.
Nothing.
And then he's like, don't worry, let's just date,
get to know each other, yay.
Champagne!
Psh.
Mm!
And then that's it.
And "After the Final Rose."
I literally specifically asked him--
and multiple people have--
Yeah.
--how do you feel about the outcome.
And he's like, I am happy with the outcome.
Everyone [INAUDIBLE] says he's happy.
If this is not-- after seeing what has happened,
there is no way that he would be happy with any other outcome
besides Cassie coming around in some way.
Ellen asked if he was engaged, and he said, I'm happy.
Mm-hm.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
You guys, this has been a fantastic season.
This is a good one.
It has, and it's not done yet.
Like I said, I really think Colton
could be my favorite Bachelor.
More to come.
I agree.
And he's good-looking.
OK, you guys.
Go.
A big thanks to y'all for watching.
And tune in Wednesday, because Miss North Carolina herself,
Caelynn, is going to join us in the cube.
Yay!
Yes.
And comment below to tell us what you think.
I'm going to take this.
I don't know what that voice was.
[INAUDIBLE]
See you later.
Woo.
Oh, my god.
My heart is still pounding.
I know.
My heart's pounding for you.
