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

I'm your host,

Blake Korsen here with my buddy as usual, Eric Bradley. We just finished hometowns, episode eight, late in season. So we're going to recap that. Before we get into that, let's talk about

what we got going on coming weeks and what we did last weekend. Let's see, I was in Minneapolis

on Thursday. Shout out to University of Minnesota and had a fun little trivia night and then a DJ set. So it was really cool, freezing, complete blizzard out there like you would have, you know, the most stereotypical weekend in Minneapolis. But a lot of fun. And shout out to the Student Union over there. It was a lot of fun.

It was a good time.

And dude, I'll tell you what.

Here we go. I'm going to ask you some of the questions because there were two questions I didn't know. And I'm pretty good at my Bachelor. Oh, I'm not going to know this. But let's see, I would like to see if anybody, I was going to post on my story. But there are two questions that were really hard.

Well, three, I guess, kind of.

First one was, who was the oldest bachelor? It's not how you think. Oh, I don't know. I've only been watching since Ben's season. So I don't know. It's got to be prior. Yeah. So a lot of people obviously said it was. I was going to say Souls. No. So a lot of people thought it was Nick Vial. It's, uh, because that was like his, it was, it was, it was, dude, you have no idea. I didn't know who it was some second, the guy. The second batch. The second bachelor who was the second batch of the good or the firestone guy. No, no. It's like some Tyler, I think, or Tyler something. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't know that. But then the other two were super hard, dude.

One was, and this is going to be shocking, I think to people, how many couples from the Bachelor, Bachelor, and Paradise are still together? Throw out a number. What do you think it is? Oh, I'm going to go under 10. As of right now. I would say under 10. 26. Oh, wow. Yeah, exactly, dude.

I know.

It's kind of crazy.

I mean, that's all the season.

So it's successful. So it's probably still around like 14% it works. Yeah, which is better than honestly regular life, I feel like. But I think over half of that is Paradise. And Paradise has only been around for like really four seasons. I was saying actually like the contestant winners. I didn't even. No, no, no. I said Paradise. Yeah, it's all three because I think just it was nine. I think nine was just bash, bash, right, I think. So that's pretty good. So I would have nailed that one under 10. 26 is pretty good.

And then the other one was, what was the other one?

Oh, how many seasons Bachelor and Just Bachelorette ended without a proposal?

Just Bachelor?

Bachelor and Bachelorette.
