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

I'm your host, Blake Horson, here with my buddy as usual, Eric Bradley.

Before we get into our guest, our special guests today, we have a lot to cover in vaccination.

Lots's been happening in the last couple weeks.

So let's jump into it.

First of all, probably the biggest, well, by far, the biggest thing to happen. Michelle and Nate breaking up. Does that surprise you? It doesn't, just because we've been hearing grumblings over the last few weeks. Had this suddenly dropped out of nowhere a month ago? Yeah, I think I would have been pretty shocked. But the last few weeks, we've heard some rumblings. You know, I've heard some just from being in Bastionation from some people that, you know, some things haven't been, you know, quite what they had, they had hoped or whatever, however you want to, you know, word that. But it's sad, man, because I genuinely think. So what sucks is I didn't see a lot of this season. That's right. I was away filming, all-star short. So I didn't get to see it as it happened live. Like I didn't see a lot of this season. I was away filming All Star Short. So I didn't get to see it as it happened live. Like I didn't see the final. I didn't see any of that. So I've just seen what I, what you can from podcasts and recaps and from just their following both of them. And they seem genuinely happy and excited about the future. So I, yeah, I mean,

it's, it's sad. And I, you know, you hate to see a, you know, a couple like that who seem to be

in good standing and everything in a bright future. I hope the speculations are, are kind,

whoever there's, yeah, I mean, I'm honest. honest bullshit and or truth or whatever it might be

exactly i mean now there's just this is what happens public relationships right it's always one

person's fault over the other it's always blah blah blah blah he didn't move she was too busy

both the teaching blah blah i've seen him out at bars whatever it is like it's all bullshit in my opinion

the only real people that know are nate and michel even if people close to them don't know. So like, I, if I had, you know, talk to talk to them, I'd just be like, ignore the noise. And I'm a little worried because I saw Nate kind of tweeted something. And maybe, you know, this might start getting to him because people are obviously the thing with the lead, right, everybody, nobody wanted to see Nate find happiness everybody

want to see Michelle find happiness so immediately when they break up it's Nate's fault you know what

I mean it's it's people put Michelle up something right exactly and it's all bullshit you know and

honestly I was going to say we'll never know the truth I don't want to know the truth you know what I

mean like it's none of our business there's always two sides to every story exactly exactly and people can say what they want but clearly from what i've seen from the breakup from both of their statements whatever it is seems like they're both pretty heartbroken about it but they just knew it wasn't going to work um they care for each other and they wish each other the best like it doesn't seem like this was a messy, ugly breakup, which is good because those are bad.

What I want to know is because it was the first time ever in show history, they got a financial

bonus.
