Hello, everyone, and welcome to another episode of Behind the Rose podcast.

I'm your host, Blake Horsman, here with my buddy as usual, Eric Bradley. And it is Monday night, right after the three-hour finale of the Bachelorette. Katie season is over. Katie and Blake are engaged. We have a lot to break down from that episode because a lot happens. So, yeah, here we go. I guess we should start Eric.

I played that like 10 things I hate about you, paintball game, which was fun. Yeah, I mean, they're freaking cute together. Like the day portion of the day, they just seem like they have so much fun together. And we go into, you know, the hot tub. And I was kind of shocked. I don't know how you feel but I was shocked a

little bit that Katie straight up told Blake to his face all that stuff about Greg and was kind of
