It's the game of roses, glad I'm doing the game of roses.

This is the game of roses, glad I'm doing the game of roses.

I'm glad you haven't completely closed me out.

I'm like, there's still like, there's like a little bit of light left.

Even though we're not in regular season, even though we're not playing the main game of Bachelor or Bachelor at,

Bachelor in Paradise is a side game.

It's almost like a minor leagues to the big leagues, if you will.

And they have the possibility of becoming Bachelor royalty, like Jade and Tanner or Carly in Heaven or...

If you play your game right, it is also an audition for the main game, Bachelor and Bachelor at.

You could be a Nick Vial who basically auditioned in Paradise to become Bachelor after he had been out of the game.

Or Colton did the same.

your Instagram numbers are practically stamped on your foreheads.

Every other player knows what your Instagram number is because you have all been following each other for a year or so.

Or however long it's been since you've been on the primary show.

You've been going on the music festival circuit with all of these people, which they all do.
