Look at this. Ooh!
She's going with it. Don't‐‐I don't want to see it.
‐ No, yours actually came very easily for me.
[laughs]
‐ Heh‐heh‐heh.
I'm gonna try my best, but, you know,
I'm still kind of warming up
to getting back into group dates
after my one‐on‐one.
So I kind of have to impress him today.
‐ Hello, Marlena. ‐ Hello.
‐ What do we got? ‐ All right. You want the fire?
Which one should I tell you first?
‐ You can tell me the hard‐hitters.
And then tell me the ones you're unsure about.
‐ Oh, I'm sure about all of them.
‐ Oh, okay. ‐ I love roasting people.
Like, it's fun and I'm trying to win this group date rose.
‐ You got this? ‐ I got this.
‐ Okay.
‐ I'm ready to be roasting bitches.
I'm taking heads, I'm taking tails,
I'm taking ass, I'm taking all of that.
[upbeat jazzy music]
‐ Good evening, Toronto. How we doing tonight?
all: Whoo!
‐ Who's ready for a good, old fashioned roast?
[all cheering] ‐ [mouthing words]
‐ Please welcome to the stage Mr. Russell Peters.
‐ Hey. ‐ Ow, ow!
‐ Give it up for Jesse.
Once a failed contestant, but now the host,
With his stunt double, we have Clayton.
[laughter]
‐ Oh, my God.
‐ Both of these guys are failed football players.
Not from injuries. They just [bleep] suck.
‐ I think a roast is definitely a little dangerous
if people take it too seriously.
But my goal for today is try to not get hurt.
And hopefully there won't be any drama.
‐ Let's get this thing started. You guys ready?
All right.
Marlena.
[cheers and applause]
‐ So, Clayton, you're from Eureka, Missouri, right?
‐ That's right.
‐ So do you kiss your mother with your mouth open or closed?
As we all know,
Hunter has chronic irritable bowel syndrome...
Which, much like her personality, is [bleep].
Damn, Shanae, you ain't here.
But I'ma still get your ass.
Shanae is like a herpes outbreak.
‐ Ooh!
‐ No matter how hard you try to get rid of her,
she keeps coming back
and lasting longer than expected.
[cheers and applause]
‐ [laughing] That was...
Marlena, she absolutely crushed it today.
And, yes, I'm from Missouri.
But, for the record, I kiss my mom
with my mouth closed.
‐ Clayton, I'm really just grateful
to be here in Toronto.
It is a little bit chilly though,
so I was hoping you could keep my seat warm later.
I've heard you're really good at warming the bench.
‐ All right, I'm gonna start with Clayton.
You obviously have a dump truck ass.
So I'm just confused on why
you haven't taken out all the trash yet.
‐ All right.
We all know Rachel showed up on night one
with a woman in her 70s.
Mara, I'm so glad that you're still here.
Mara introduces herself as "Mara like marinara sauce."
She likes to say she's so saucy.
But it's only because she hydrates with tequila,
like most cougars do.
She has a loyalty membership at Baby Gap,
which is ironic because she has an adult gap between her teeth.
‐ Oh.
‐ Sarah's the youngest one in the house.
And, I mean, she's got this confidence
that is teetering on cockiness.
But she is not wife material or of wife age
or in the mindset to be a wife.
Sarah, honey.
So young and so confident.
You come back from your one‐on‐one
acting like you're already engaged.
But, honestly, if I were 13 years old,
I'd be acting the same way.
But honestly, Clayton, if you end up with her,
give me a call whenever you need a babysitter.
I got you.
Just go home, you desperate bitch.
Bye.
‐ Oh, okay!
Puerto Rico bringing it.
‐ Oh, my gosh.
This was easily one of the best dates
that I've been on.
The women didn't hold back.
They didn't hold back with me.
They didn't hold back with each other.
There was nobody that was safe.
‐ Shanae isn't here.
‐ Of course we gotta bring her in.
‐ But long story short,
it's like Jeffery Dahmer calling himself a victim
in his own crimes.
‐ Shanae's not even here.
But honestly, if we're gonna roast someone,
let's roast the bitch.
Let's roast the pig in the house.
‐ I'm so happy to be here.
So honored to have been chosen to be on Shanae's season
of "The Bachelorette."
From what I've heard, it's so nice
to be on a group date without her.
Although, she could pop up at any minute.
‐ People did roast Shanae.
And they weren't like
cute, sweet, funny, like, digs.
They were like roasts.
‐ No worries, Clayton.
You don't have to worry
about any academy‐award‐winning performance
featuring fake tears tonight.
Also, no need for a helmet.
Nobody's gonna be throwing any trophies.
‐ We all have conflict because of Shanae.
So I'm just hoping Clayton sees it's the truth.
‐ I wanna just say great job.
So let's go to the after‐party ladies and Clay‐dies.
‐ Tomorrow is a two‐on‐one.
It is Genevieve and Shanae with Clayton together.
And I hope that Genevieve will bring the heat
as we did today.
Letting him know, "Hey, this bitch has to go."
At this point, if he doesn't take that
and roll with it, he can't see the big picture.
[all speaking at once] ‐ Y'all killed it.
My God.

It seems very serious, the card.

Anything could happen.

Honestly, it's getting to the point now
