first came in to this
experience, you...
521
00:18:48,894 --> 00:18:51,831
felt comfortable at that time
with who you were?
522
00:18:51,897 --> 00:18:53,132
‐ I would say I had, like,
523
00:18:53,199 --> 00:18:54,767
a pretty good grasp
on who I was.
524
00:18:54,834 --> 00:18:58,170
Like, I was 90% sure.
525
00:18:58,237 --> 00:19:00,606
But I was holding things back.
526
00:19:00,673 --> 00:19:03,109
I was concerned
about how others viewed me.
527
00:19:03,175 --> 00:19:05,645
I was too concerned
about looking stupid
528
00:19:05,711 --> 00:19:07,780
or looking‐‐
just embarrassing myself.
529
00:19:07,847 --> 00:19:10,650
And‐‐and then I just felt like,
you know, I'm like,
530

"You're gonna miss out
on so much
531

because you're so concerned
about others."
532
00:19:13,919 --> 00:19:17,323

that's why I'm totally open.
533
00:19:17,390 --> 00:19:18,858
I'm totally, completely
vulnerable.
534
00:19:18,924 --> 00:19:20,793

I will do whatever it takes
535
00:19:20,860 --> 00:19:21,894

536

Like, I will absolutely do it.
537
00:19:23,429 --> 00:19:25,765
Because it's who I bring
into my life that's going
538
00:19:25,831 --> 00:19:28,334

and make me feel
539
00:19:28,401 --> 00:19:29,568

Tonight's been fun.
541
00:19:30,936 --> 00:19:32,371
It's been awesome
to be able to spend
542
00:19:32,438 --> 00:19:33,806
more time with Clayton,
543
00:19:33,873 --> 00:19:35,174
and I feel like there are
544
00:19:35,241 --> 00:19:38,511
these amazing
romantic moments between us.
545
00:19:38,577 --> 00:19:41,414
But one of the hardest parts
of this journey
546
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,251
is the fact that there are
eight wonderful men here.
547
00:19:45,317 --> 00:19:47,787
So even though Clayton's
this really great guy,
548
00:19:47,853 --> 00:19:51,157
I have to make
difficult decisions.
549

resulted in a rose.
550
00:19:55,628 --> 00:19:58,097
Now that we're having
one‐on‐ones in her hometown,
551
00:19:58,164 --> 00:19:59,832
I think these one‐on‐ones
552
00:19:59,899 --> 00:20:01,701
are weighted
a lot more heavily.
553
00:20:01,767 --> 00:20:04,070
And so there's a chance
that, you know, Clayton
554
00:20:04,136 --> 00:20:05,738
doesn't come back tonight
because of that.
555

557
00:20:09,642 --> 00:20:11,410
it would make no sense to me
558

if Clayton comes back
with a rose.
559
00:20:12,978 --> 00:20:14,547
So I'm interested
to hear the news.

or if he's gone.

some senior pictures.

Wow.

‐ No, no.
‐ [bleep]!

like that.

hold so many
different memories,
1393
00:57:18,101 --> 00:57:22,439
and I love that when I walk
into my childhood home
1394

are on the wall.

the luckiest man
in the entire world.

through her heart,

1402

about taking a dip in the pool?

Let's do it.
1421

‐ You can wear
one of my dad's swimsuits

‐ Okay.

Brandon was special?

at the cocktail party

the second Rose Ceremony,
going into it,
1511

where we had a conversation
1512
01:02:05,255 --> 01:02:09,159
and he just talked about, like,
just how much he trusts me.
1513
01:02:09,226 --> 01:02:11,328
‐ Yeah, 'cause the first night
she said
1514
01:02:11,394 --> 01:02:13,797
that, you know, she's here
for the right reason.
1515

she expected from us

01:02:15,632 --> 01:02:17,934
was trust.

1538
01:02:49,733 --> 01:02:51,268
your guys' marriage
is so special
1539
01:02:51,334 --> 01:02:52,769
and so unique,
1540
01:02:52,836 --> 01:02:55,472
so I wanted to know, like,
if you guys had any advice.
1541
01:02:55,538 --> 01:02:59,075
‐ I'd say,
he was my best friend.
1542
01:02:59,142 --> 01:03:00,076
The other thing, honestly,
1543
01:03:00,143 --> 01:03:02,879
is that he always
puts me first.
1544
01:03:02,946 --> 01:03:05,849
Even in some pretty difficult
situations
1545
01:03:05,915 --> 01:03:09,452
where he really had to choose,
and he did.
1546
01:03:09,519 --> 01:03:12,889
He‐‐I always know
he has my back.
1547
01:03:12,956 --> 01:03:15,925
So that's what I hope for her.
1548
01:03:15,992 --> 01:03:17,460
‐ It's not easy.
1549
01:03:17,527 --> 01:03:20,730
You know, it's gonna
always be the ups and downs.
1550
01:03:20,797 --> 01:03:23,099
But you gotta always,
you know, be able
1551
01:03:23,166 --> 01:03:26,936
to open up and talk
and work your way through it.
1552

You know, that's the key.

not necessarily easy

1558
01:03:37,414 --> 01:03:40,183
let alone meet them
unexpectedly.
1559
01:03:40,250 --> 01:03:44,688
But Brandon held his own,
and he was genuine and sincere,
1560
01:03:44,754 --> 01:03:46,556
and he stayed true
to who he was.
1561
01:03:46,623 --> 01:03:49,259
And my parents seem
to really like him.
1562
01:03:49,326 --> 01:03:50,560
‐ So it was scary,
1563
01:03:50,627 --> 01:03:53,897
but it's also, like,
beautiful too, so...
1564
01:03:53,963 --> 01:03:55,799
She just makes me happy.
1565
01:03:55,865 --> 01:03:58,101
And now, meeting you guys,
I'm like, "Wow."
1566
01:03:58,168 --> 01:03:59,436
You got two
of the greatest idols
1567
01:03:59,502 --> 01:04:02,405
to look up to, so...
‐ Mm‐hmm, I sure do.
1568
01:04:02,472 --> 01:04:04,974
‐ Yeah, actually, can I talk
to your parents real quick?
1569
01:04:05,041 --> 01:04:05,975
‐ Okay.
‐ Sure.
1570
01:04:06,042 --> 01:04:07,043
‐ Is that okay?
1571
01:04:07,110 --> 01:04:08,445
‐ Yeah.
‐ Okay, okay. Cool.
1572
01:04:08,511 --> 01:04:11,915
‐ All right.
I'll be back shortly.
1573
01:04:11,981 --> 01:04:13,149
‐ Okay.
‐ Hi
1574
01:04:13,216 --> 01:04:14,851
‐ [chuckles]
1575
01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:20,523
‐ So I feel so deeply
for your daughter.
1576
01:04:20,590 --> 01:04:23,793
And she absolutely means
the entire world to me.
1577
01:04:23,860 --> 01:04:26,129
And I want to have
the happiest marriage with her
1578
01:04:26,196 --> 01:04:27,964
and have that last forever.
1579
01:04:28,031 --> 01:04:29,966
But I'm an old soul,
1580
01:04:30,033 --> 01:04:31,401
and I will not marry
your daughter
1581
01:04:31,468 --> 01:04:33,603
unless I have
your guys' blessing.
1582
01:04:33,670 --> 01:04:35,939
So I was wondering,
you know, later in time,
1583
01:04:36,005 --> 01:04:38,074
if I'm still here,
if you guys will allow me
1584
01:04:38,141 --> 01:04:41,277
to be with your daughter?
1585
01:04:41,344 --> 01:04:42,879
‐ Well, I can tell you‐‐
‐ Yeah.
1586
01:04:42,946 --> 01:04:46,116
‐ Even just first meeting you,
you're very warm,
1587
01:04:46,182 --> 01:04:49,419
I like how she looks
at you,
1588
01:04:49,486 --> 01:04:53,390
um, and if‐‐if she's happy,
1589
01:04:53,456 --> 01:04:56,259
and if she chooses
and thinks you're the one,
1590
01:04:56,326 --> 01:04:57,594
you have my blessing.
1591
01:04:57,660 --> 01:05:01,931
‐ Yeah, we support
Michelle's decision 100%,
1592
01:05:01,998 --> 01:05:03,433
so, I mean...
1593
01:05:03,500 --> 01:05:05,201
‐ I asked
for the parents' blessing,
1594
01:05:05,268 --> 01:05:06,803
and they gave me
the best answer
1595
01:05:06,870 --> 01:05:08,905
that you could have
ever asked for.
1596
01:05:08,972 --> 01:05:10,907
That meant a lot, so...
1597
01:05:10,974 --> 01:05:13,309
I'm just hoping, like,
you know, I'm her person
1598
01:05:13,376 --> 01:05:14,844
at the end of all this.
1599
01:05:14,911 --> 01:05:15,945

to meet you.

1601
01:05:17,013 --> 01:05:17,947

1602
01:05:18,014 --> 01:05:19,783
‐ At dinner, like, tonight,
1603
01:05:19,849 --> 01:05:21,484
you know, we still got
a lot to talk about.
1604
01:05:21,551 --> 01:05:24,087
I still want to open up
and dive to her core
1605
01:05:24,154 --> 01:05:25,688
and I want her to see my core.
1606

with me,

and the most vulnerable
that she could ever be.
1608
01:05:30,293 --> 01:05:32,495
And now I think it's my turn
to show her
1609

01:09:13,282 --> 01:09:17,320
that you're the one,
then give her this bracelet,
1696
