Hey guys, I'm Tracy!
And I'm Andy!
And I'm Corey.
He's Corey.
Yeah.
And so much happened last night on the Women Tell All.
It did.
So much!
I had this--
It was crazy!
It was crazy.
Yeah, but you know why you're already here,
we're not introducing you?
Yeah, why?
Because we don't need you anymore.
We don't!
We've got a very special recap guest!
Because we have the most exciting guest.
Please welcome--
I'm very excited.
A very special guest.
Miss North Carolina, Caelynn!
[CHEERING]
Yay!
How are you?
Welcome.
Oh my goodness.
Hi Caelynn, it's so nice to meet you.
Oh my gosh.
Thank you for being here.
Of course, I'm so excited.
Welcome to the cube, have a seat.
Have a seat.
I'm in the cube, wow.
Get comfy.
Welcome to the cube.
Thank you.
This has been a very emotional journey for me-- watching you.
A whirlwind!
Because you've had an emotional journey.
Yes.
OK, so, you had like a hard exit and I--
we've said, in this cubicle, that we have really
enjoyed watching Colton throughout this
because we didn't know what to expect from him.
But we thought he did a really good job, at least
in my opinion, until it came
You.
--his breakup with you.
In that moment, I was like--
I remember getting in the car.
I was like, that was so cold.
I've never felt Colton be so cold before.
Yeah.
It sucked.
Do you feel now--
I mean, because on Women Tell All,
it doesn't feel like you really got
much more closure from that.
So has watching it back given you
the closure that he wasn't able to verbally say to you?
Yeah.
I think going to Women Tell All--
being able to see it on the screen, see him--
that brought back so many emotions.
And then asking him--
I was like, hey, I need something.
I need like--
Right.
--verbalize this.
And he kind of just sat there.
Give me some closure.
[LAUGHING]
And he didn't.
Colton was here because he was our masked dancer--
Yes.
--on the show, on Ellen.
And so I went in to say hi to him, because he's our buddy.
Classic Tracy, pick up the name she dropped.
And I literally said to him--
You went and said hi, too!
[LAUGHING]
He's approachable!
I showed up out of a hallway.
He's very approachable!
And I was like, how's your day, Colton?
We wall went and said hi!
We all went and said hi.
Gave him a high five and said good job.
OK, but I went in and I said to him--
I go, I'm mad at you because-- and I literally said--
I've loved everything that you-- the way you handled everything.
And I hated the way you handled Caelynn.
And he goes, I know.
And I go, why didn't you say anything?
He's like, I didn't know what to say
and I still don't know what to say.
I mean, part of me understands that a little bit--
to a certain extent-- because he just really cares about you--
Yeah, the final four.
--so much that--
The final four.
--that sometimes you just don't know how to explain it.
Sometimes it's just not--
Yeah.
--right.
Yeah.
So how do you feel, now, watching
some of the other ladies and their connections?
Like, do you understand it more?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do you get it, do you see it?
Or not really?
I do.
It makes sense, watching it back and seeing
him connect with other women.
I know, now, that I didn't have the strongest connection.
Yeah.
But I still did have a strong connection.
Yeah.
Do you think that he was a good bachelor compared
to some of the other bachelors?
I think Ben Higgins, we can all agree-- he's, like,
one of the best bachelors.
And Sean Lowe.
Sean Lowe.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sean and Ben are like two of the best.
High bars.
And I think Colton, really--
Kind of up there with them.
--is up there with them.
Like, honestly.
Yeah, yeah.
And I had very low expectations coming into it.
I was like not excited when they announced him.
[GASPS]
Really?
And told him this.
Neither were we!
But we know how.
No, we were the same way.
Yes, exactly.
Wait, wait, hold on hold on.
This is good, this is good.
Why were you not excited?
Just, he's not your--
I wanted Blake or Jason.
[RECORD SCRATCHING]
[GASPS]
Oh my gosh!
I told him this--
This is awesome!
--on the season, though.
But clearly, if you felt that way going into it,
then he must have really won you over.
Because by the end, you were in love with him.
Smitten.
Yeah.
Right?
I was absolutely in love-- smitten.
Yeah, I was.
Have you had time to move on?
Like, do you feel like you can watch it?
Oh, she's dating someone else now.
Oh, are you?
I'm kidding.
Yeah, yeah, I've been in a six-month relationship.
No, no.
Oh!
I was like!
Oh, I was like!
I was kidding!
We all stopped!
Calm down, you guys!
So this is the moment where--
Oh, jeez.
--our host calls us away And I disappear for a second.
OK, bye.
Go see what you did.
We'll save your seat, Corey.
Corey had an emergency-- a show emergency.
Yeah.
Aw.
So you and Cassie became really, really close friends.
Yeah.
And we saw that, kind of, through the episode.
And at the final four, when you didn't get the rose, you said,
I love you.
What else did you say?
[LAUGHING]
You said something else.
I said, I love, bye friend, go get engaged.
What did they bleep out, then?
You said something else.
I thought something was beeped.
Oh, I said, this is [BLEEP].
Oh.
OK, yeah.
[LAUGHING]
I knew there was something else!
Put a rose over her mouth.
OK, well let's-- So one of the main pieces of drama that you
were involved in-- you kind of had a two-fold.
You had the Hanna B situation--
But I feel it was indirectly, so--
Well, let's talk about Hannah B, real quick, first.
People are waiting for this big secret
to come out, like Caelynn did this or Hannah did this.
And there's nothing.
It was just little events that led up to us--
Yeah.
I totally get that, though.
Because I feel like, look, we're like--
there's so many different types of people in the world.
We're not all going to get along.
Right.
It was a bummer that it kind of had to play out that way.
OK.
Now, getting on.
So, that drama aside.
Katie said--
On the way out.
Well, said to Colton, just make sure
that everybody is here for the right reasons
and is willing to get engaged, or whatever-- blah, blah, blah.
Like a million of them saying--
And that started his head spin.
Yeah.
So, fine.
Yes.
Because even on Women Tell All, I
feel like it didn't really get cleaned up.
So I want you to have a chance to take the cube floor.
Use the cube as your platform.
And it was really happened.
OK.
What did you say?
We were on a bus.
You're on a bus.
[GASPS] It always happens on a bus.
Cassie and I were in the front row.
OK, you're the driver.
Pretend you're driving.
You're the driver, you're on the left side.
Cassie and I are in the front seat.
Why am I driving?
[LAUGHING] It's the two of us.
Katie's directly behind us, kind of peeping in here and there
just to say, what's up.
Hey, what's up.
Cassie-- [LAUGHING]
Yeah, I was going to say, how long do I have to do that?
OK, good.
And at this point Cas and I knew we were invested.
We're like, we know we have strong connections.
We wanted to protect our friendship above all.
And I was like, Cassie, if it's me at the end of this,
I want you to be the bachelorette.
And she said the same.
So it was just like, that's it.
I wasn't saying, you know, I want to be the Bachelorette,
like, I'm only here to be the Bachelorette.
This is what we said.
This is what you had said.
I know, that's what I said.
Of course, that's obviously what's happened.
Tracy gets credit for that!
Yeah.
Even if you had been, like, I'm here to be the Bachelorette.
Who in their right mind would say that with anybody else
around?
Right!
Nobody would!
On a bus full of women.
Well, that's the thing!
Like, you weren't trying to hide this conversation.
Yeah.
Right.
I think the word "bachelorette" triggered in her ears
and she was like, oh.
Ooh, she's here for the wrong reasons.
Yeah.
Now, here's what's interesting, though.
Now, one other thing that was said is that you weren't ready.
That you two were also both not ready to get engaged.
Mhm.
Was that somewhere in this conversation?
There were several things.
Like, clubs and parties, and was like, where
are you guys pulling this from?
And then, at Women Tell All, Dean got brought up.
And once upon a time I slid into Dean's DMs.
Yeah, same, first of all.
[LAUGHING]
Like, duh.
But, you guys, the most interesting thing
is that it turns out that Cassie, at least it seems
at this point, was actually, in fact, not
ready to get engaged, right?
Ooh!
So, with Cassie and I, the reason we were so close-- like,
the closest friendship in the house--
was because we separated Colton and our friendship.
We never talked about Colton, like, ever.
Oh, interesting.
Wow.
And so-- but she did hint to me sometimes.
She was like, I think your relationship's stronger,
like, I think it could be you.
And, especially when I got a rose after my one-on-one,
she was like, what if I go home?
But I know that she had such strong feelings.
And that's why it was so hard for us.
Because you can have strong feelings
and not be ready to be engaged.
Yeah, I was going to say, I guess
it's not fair to say because, also,
at what point do you become ready to be engaged?
Maybe she thought she was on that path.
Yeah.
Cassie was realistic in this process, too.
We were both very realistic.
And she was like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I've known you for a month and a half.
And I think--
I don't know.
I don't know what happened.
We haven't been able to talk about it.
Her dad also had a lot to do with it, I feel like.
Right?
We've seen him a lot.
Yeah, her dad had a big influence in it, too.
You got your heart broken.
You checked off all the things.
We kind of fell in love with who you are.
We are invested, now.
We are invested in you.
Aw.
So, that word that was such a stigma on the show--
Bachelorette-- does that seem like a possibility for you?
No.
Oh.
Oh, wow!
Oh my god, I did the longest, drawn [INAUDIBLE]..
Don't think about it!
I know, I was going to tell you to jump to the--
get to it.
But I wasn't expecting a just flat no.
No, she says no.
I struggled so much.
OK.
It's a lot!
Like, so much.
It's a lot.
Yeah.
I just I don't think it's for me-- like, honestly.
What about Paradise?
Maybe.
[CHEERING]
It gives me time, it gives me time.
Maybe.
Yes!
Maybe!
OK, so then if not you, who do you
think should be the Bachelorette?
Or could be?
So, Hannah G-- you didn't get to see a ton of her this season,
but she's--
Yes, I know.
--hilarious.
[GASPS] She was my pick.
Yeah, she seems like she's pretty funny.
Yeah.
No offense, sorry.
[LAUGHS]
Sorry.
But, also-- yes, there was animosity
between me and Hannah B, but that would be interesting.
Really?
Either Hanna, you're saying?
That would be--
Those are your two?
Yeah, yeah.
She'd be something funny to watch, that's for sure.
It would be a funny season.
OK, and then last question-- do you
think Colton is still a virgin?
Ooh.
Ooh, great question.
Do you?
What does your BFF Cassie have to say, Cassie?
He's very happy.
Ah, he does say that!
I know!
He says that time and time again.
That's all he says.
Does that mean because he's not a virgin?
Does that mean he's just happy in a relationship?
But how happy?
Exactly.
How happy is he?
I don't know.
This is good.
[LAUGHING]
A big thanks to Caelynn for joining us, today!
And be sure to tune into our Bachelor two-night finale next
Tuesday--
Monday and Tuesday, sorry!
And comment below to tell us how you think
this season is going to end.
Can I tell you?
You're so much nicer to me than Corey is.
And I drive off on a bike, now, with a check.
No, wait--
[LAUGHING]
Corey always-- oh, that where he goes.
Thank you, nice to see you.
Corey always disagrees with me and you agree with me
on so many things.
Aw, good.
We should be friends forever.
Do you want some wine?
