she's not appreciated.

2249
01:22:49,998 --> 01:22:51,133
‐ Chris S. is a snake.

2250
01:22:51,200 --> 01:22:52,401
‐ He threw us all
under the bus.

2251
01:22:52,468 --> 01:22:54,136
‐ Who are you
to call me into question?

2252
01:22:54,203 --> 01:22:56,238
‐ There is no reason
for any of this.

2253
01:22:56,305 --> 01:22:58,307
‐ Let's go for a talk, bro.
‐ Yeah.

2254
01:22:58,373 --> 01:23:01,310
‐ This is a desperate ploy
to just sabotage everything.

2255
01:23:01,376 --> 01:23:02,377
‐ Nobody has it in the bag.

2256
01:23:02,444 --> 01:23:03,946
‐ I'm ready to knock him out.

2257
01:23:04,012 --> 01:23:05,113
Guess what.

2258
01:23:05,180 --> 01:23:06,181
‐ Are you gonna
put your hands on me?

2259
01:23:06,248 --> 01:23:07,382
‐ Dude.
‐ Calm down.

2260
01:23:07,449 --> 01:23:08,383
‐ No, hey,
don't walk away from me, dog.

2261
01:23:08,450 --> 01:23:09,418
‐ Calm down.

2262
01:23:09,485 --> 01:23:10,919
announcer: It's all coming up

2263
01:23:10,986 --> 01:23:13,121
next week
on "The Bachelorette."

2264
01:23:13,188 --> 01:23:15,224
‐ We dare you to photocopy

2265
01:23:15,290 --> 01:23:18,627
the body part of your choice.

2266
01:23:18,694 --> 01:23:22,030
‐ Oh, my God.
What?

2267
01:23:22,097 --> 01:23:23,966
‐ Okay.
‐ This is scary.

2268
01:23:24,032 --> 01:23:27,870
‐ Um, so what in the world
are we gonna copy?

2269
01:23:27,936 --> 01:23:29,638
‐ You tell me, Rodney.
‐ [laughs]

2270
01:23:29,705 --> 01:23:31,740
You can do the hand.
I mean, I can do the hand.

2271
01:23:31,807 --> 01:23:33,175
Is that what you want to see?
Like?

2272
01:23:33,242 --> 01:23:35,444
‐ It's up to you.
‐ It's up to me?

2273
01:23:37,579 --> 01:23:39,548
Oh, my gosh.
‐ Ready?

2274
01:23:39,615 --> 01:23:41,216
‐ Yep.
‐ Hold tight.

2275
01:23:41,283 --> 01:23:42,918
It's‐‐
‐ Oh, my God.

2276
01:23:42,985 --> 01:23:47,189
Am I good?
Please tell me it's good.

2277
01:23:47,256 --> 01:23:48,690
[laughter]

2278
01:23:48,757 --> 01:23:51,560
What we looking like?
What we looking like?

2279
01:23:51,627 --> 01:23:53,362
How bad is it?
Scale of one to ten.

2280
01:23:53,428 --> 01:23:55,330
‐ Okay, wait, wait.
‐ How bad is it?

2281
01:23:55,397 --> 01:23:58,634
‐ Wait, I feel like this
is what your pillow sees

2282
01:23:58,700 --> 01:24:00,836
at night when you sleep.

2283
01:24:00,903 --> 01:24:03,238
‐ It's gotta be hideou‐‐
oh, my God!

2284
01:24:03,305 --> 01:24:04,606
What?
Look at me.

2285
01:24:04,673 --> 01:24:06,174
‐ Look at the detail
in your eyebrows though.

2286
01:24:06,241 --> 01:24:07,242
‐ Oh, no.

2287
01:24:07,309 --> 01:24:08,844
‐ People pay
for those eyebrows.

2288
01:24:08,911 --> 01:24:10,112
‐ The eyebrows are on fleek,

2289
01:24:10,178 --> 01:24:11,580
but I feel so bad
for my pillow.

2290
01:24:11,647 --> 01:24:13,248
I need a better sleep face.
