‐ Last night was really difficult.
I am honestly pretty hurt
after the conversation I had with Jamie
where he brought up the fact that the guys were talking
about me having a previous relationship with Joe,
which I know is not true.
It's difficult when the guys are questioning me.
They're questioning my character.
And it was frustrating
to have a conversation about character.
That's not really what I wanted.
I'm very conflicted on trying to figure out,
like, who believes in me.
I just don't really know who to trust right now
and definitely have a lot to figure out this week.

‐ How do you feel about everything, bro?
Like, after last night, man, like, what are you feeling?
‐ I felt bad that Michelle felt like
her character was put into question.
‐ Uh‐huh. ‐ It hurts to see her
get hurt like that, and, um,
I'm hoping that we weeded out all the problems.
Because I think some of the stuff that was said last night
I think was not right.
‐ Exactly.
‐ I think as a group,
we kind of messed up last week.
If I didn't think she had a good head on her shoulders
for sussing out the people who shouldn't be here,
then I shouldn't be here.
And so I don't want Michelle to lose faith in us.
But what's still a big question mark
in everyone's mind is, "Who spoke to Michelle?"
It seems like there's a rat in our midst.
And it'll be interesting to see
if that information ever comes to light.
‐ I feel upset.
I feel bad for Michelle, 'cause she's also upset.
And at the end of the day, that's who we're here for.
We're not here to talk about me.
‐ Personally, I've felt like I was in the best position
because of the fact that I've already had
one‐on‐one time with Michelle.
And so I think it gave me a lot of insight into Michelle.
I think it gave me a lot more mindfulness
in regards to our conversations with each other.
I was the one to share that information
about Joe with Michelle.
But no one knows it was me that had the conversation.
‐ Hi, guys.
‐ Frankly, at this point,
given my relationship with her,
I don't care.
I'm good.
‐ So for this week,
there's gonna be two amazing group dates
and a very intimate one‐on‐one date.
So as always, I encourage you
to make the most of your time with her.
If you feel like there's something she needs to know,
tell her.
Okay, I have the first date card.
Right here.
You guys have a great week, okay?
all: Thank you.
‐ Hope to see all of you at the Rose Ceremony.
Okay, bye. See ya. ‐ Thank you.
