The show just never stops. There's always a new season for something.

It never stops, truly never stops. This is crazy because it's only the second season of the Golden Bachelor. Like, this show is still very young and new and fresh. So I'm excited to see how it goes.

Yeah, I mean, we'll see. We'll see if mel any of these girls are up to Mel's standards.

I think that Mel is going to be just fine with this group of ladies. I'm really not worried about it. But as always, we are going to fly through this cast. We only have about thirty minutes to do so, and we are strictly going off photos in these short bios and fun facts, so this is all in good fun. We obviously don't know any of these women yet. It's just funds the lyst speculation and don't.

Take it to heart. Don't take it to heart, even though we're not mean. I don't think we've ever been mean on these either.

But if we say something, do we.

Start on the song start being mean? We could?

I think maybe that's not the way to go.

That's the way you usually go when we're off camera. That's what Serena actually talks on.

Don't say that.

Okay, let's go. I will start with the first woman, Alexandria from Miami. Well, I don't know if she's from here, but this is where she currently lives, Miami, Florida. She's in the luxury yacht sales business. Interesting, very interesting. I like that sixty seven.

It's fun. It's a sexy business.

Yeah, and like when you're in your late sixties, that would be quite the way to live on a luxury yacht, selling the world.

All a yacht and they could live on it.

Do we think mel could afford a yacht? I don't know.

She loves listening to Bob Marley. She goes hard for the Colombia national football team soccer for Americans, and she purposed to her first husband. That's interesting post.

Yeah, she did propose to her first husband, which means if she's saying she proposed to her first husband, she probably has more than one. XI been, which in my opinion, is actually really glamorous. I think that's so she.
