Oh.

E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
They're not supposed to make it to the surface, so they provide light to catch prey, but also the organisms down at the bottom where there is no light. How big is this fish? Pretty big.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
Who would discover this? How do we know?
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
She's not supposed to make it to the surface.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
Also, fish are not supposed to float to the surface like they regulate with like oxygen and whatnot so that they stay below.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
The surface. That's what I'm saying.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
you guys never heard of the princess and the pea princess and the pea I slept soundly so I guess not a princess that means that Nick's humble is what he's saying right is that what that is yeah because remember she could fill the pea because she was so spoiled that even with like 20 different mattresses mattresses stacked on top I live a hard life I really do special forces training
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
You know, I went into this experiment and I said, I'm going to be completely authentic to myself and whatever I honestly feel, I'm going to go with it. And I said, there's no pressure to continue on the show if I don't sincerely feel like it's going to work. And I wanted to be true to myself and not force anything and be that guy that just goes along with it just to be on TV or have an experience.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
So I was never going to do that. You know, I realized that at the end it wasn't going to work. So I cut it off. No hard feelings about it. But, you know, it is a shame because our story, I feel like was very interesting and people were disappointed that they couldn't hear more of us.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
Well, I guess just to start with, you know, they don't show 99% of what we talk about in the pods. And Madison and I really did have a good relationship. We had a lot of fun in there that they didn't show, really. It was all very, very serious conversations. So we had a really, really solid relationship. But I think the main concern that was shown was the lack of communication between
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
I think we both just had very different communication styles, and I was trying to get ahead of that because I've had issues with that in the past. And I know how important that is and how detrimental to a relationship that can be. And I've had some really, really tough relationships in the past because of that core issue of not being on the same page with our communication.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
So I wanted to really take that seriously and try to figure out if that's something that we were on the same page or not. And, you know, just some things came up in the pods that just showed that we weren't on that same page. And so I had to make the tough decision to to cut it off, I think.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
I think definitely the Mason situation, just how that was handled. I don't know. It just didn't really sit right with me. As someone who was bullied, I feel like there was a little bit of bullying going on there with Mason. And I just didn't feel like that was rightfully placed on him. Um, and you know, there was maybe a little more negativity than what was shown, um, coming from Madison.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
It does say the 137 page filing included new assertions of alleged misconduct, saying, in quotes, Miss Lively was not alone in raising allegations of onset misconduct more than a year before the film was edited in evidence of alleged threats, harassment and intimidation of Lively and others and defendants retaliatory campaign.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
And, um, I just, that's why I kept pushing back and saying, I understand his perspective, you know, and I said that so many times, but it was coming from a place of a response to, to the negativity. Um, and I mean, there were just some other really small instances where, you know, I just, we, we, it was awkward in the pods because I would say something, she wouldn't respond to it in a way that, um,
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
made sense to me, you know, and that's not saying it was right or wrong. It just showed that we were very different people. And so, yeah, I don't know if I can come up with specific examples, but yeah.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
I mean, I couldn't have said it better myself. That was very well explained there. I think that is true from what I saw. It seemed like she was very used to conflict. And so was I in my earlier life. And I just I'm at a point now where I can't handle that. And I don't want to fight. I don't want to have these big, massive blowouts and then make up and everything is fine for a week.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
And then it's another huge thing. And I just I can't do that anymore. Um, and so, yeah, I think maybe, I don't know what else I can say about it. Cause you said it so beautifully.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
I'd say overall, I'm really proud of how I handled everything. I wouldn't change my actions or decisions at all. I think the way that they maybe edited the last date was maybe not as accurate as it was. So I kind of cringed a little bit at that. But no, I don't really regret anything. Again, we were just very different people. We're on different communication styles. And so
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
It just was not the right relationship. And I was not about to force it or, you know, continue it longer than it needed to. I feel like the mature thing to do was to recognize that it wasn't going to work and then end it right away.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
It felt like I was really, really pressing the fact that I understood Mason's perspective and which definitely I mean, I did keep saying that thing or that line over and over. But again, it was in response to. negativity that I feel like was not aired. You know, there was a lot more negativity being said about Mason.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
And so I was saying, well, I understand his perspective in response to that negativity. And so, and again, I totally understand, you know, her perspective and why she would be negative towards Mason. He did screw up, right. You know, there's no question about it. He screwed up. He said the wrong thing. He, you know, Didn't handle himself in the way that I know he wanted to.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
But also you have to understand that I actually knew Mason better than I knew Madison because I spend more time with the guys in the lounge than I do with the women in the pods. Right. So Mason and I at that point were fairly close and I knew he was such a genuine good guy. And I just didn't want to see someone talking so negatively about him when I feel like he didn't deserve it.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
I just thought it was maybe a little... manipulative. I didn't see that. You know, all I see is this limited perspective of in the pods with one person at a time. So it was definitely interesting to watch after the fact, after a year, you know, since being there. But yeah, it just didn't feel great. And I think it may be confirmed that I did make the right decision.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
yes we we have talked um i mean when we got out of the the pods we got back to minneapolis and we did talk for a brief time i would say um and then the same issues kind of just kept coming up and we realized again that we just were communicating differently and then we we decided to go our separate ways when was the first time you saw what she looked like when you got out of the pods did you like look her up online or did you wait to meet her in person
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
basically the shuttle that took us to the airport, I was sitting in there alone and we got our phone back. And so I turned it on and there's like hundreds of notifications. And I immediately, I went and looked her up on Instagram because obviously, right. And so I saw her for the first time on Instagram.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
And then we met at the airport afterwards and it was such a crazy experience just to put a face to the voice.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
I'll consider it just because of this.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
You know, I think I'm on the other end of it now. Oh, congratulations. Definitely, you know, I didn't make the best fashion choices. I'll totally agree. But, you know, I did want to stand out a little bit. You know, I wanted to wear something that wasn't just like the gray blazer or whatever that I feel like most of the guys were going to wear. So I did make a choice to wear the blue turtleneck.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
I do commercial real estate.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
I really was actually. So I'm a big fan of psychology. I went to my local community college and I took every single psychology class that they had to offer just because I'm super interested in how people work and think. And this show, I think, is one of the most genuine psychological experiments. And it's super fascinating to me. And I've always been interested since season one. And so...
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
Leave it to the courts, like A$AP Rocky did, and he is now innocent.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
I think I was one of the only people that just applied on my own without a producer like reaching out to me just because I was so interested in just the application process alone. I saw they were casting in Minneapolis and I was like, you know, let me see. I just wanted to see what it was like.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
And I filled out the questions thinking there's no chance I'm going to get chosen out of tens of thousands of people, you know, and two years later, here we are.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
Yes. Mason and I are really close still. So we've traveled quite a bit together. Meg and I are also very close. All the guys. I mean, I consider them all brothers to me at this point. So I just I love them so much. They're such great, genuine, unique people.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
I can't really speak for him, but I think it was a tough watch for all of us in different points. It's really cringe watching yourself on Netflix. My heart was racing the whole time, the first time I watched it. Every time I'd come on screen, it was like,
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
the most painful experience and i can only imagine for mason you know with some of the scenes and like especially some of the sexual scenes i just i can't imagine i feel for him yeah it'll be fine yeah you it's uh people will forget quickly i thought you carried yourself very well so nothing to be uh nervous about you should be proud of your performance on netflix i feel like Thank you so much.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
You know, I really appreciate it.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
Well, thank you very much. I appreciate it.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
We'll see. You never know. Well, thanks so much. I appreciate this. And this was awesome. All right.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
Yes, I read an article about that first, and I was like, they made it sound so like he dove into the crowd and flew across people.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
He ends up with Virginia. No, I know.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
Yeah?
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
To Nick's point too, you could meet people, but what are the odds you're following someone and then unfollowing them?
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
Yeah. But the thing is, if he did follow her, it invalidates the whole process of you don't know what I look like because you clearly knew what I looked like and knew everything about me, maybe, based off of my social media account.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
Somewhere in Cancun? Or did I make that up? Usually Mexico.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
Did you catch the B-roll? We didn't talk about it last week where it's Garcelle and Kyle listening in on Sutton. That was so funny. And this is where they said, this is how we know Kyle's a good actress because they're like listening behind the door. She runs up the stairs and then she quickly walks out as if she's like, she was just walking down the stores naturally.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
And she's like, oh my God, hey.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
I love Sutton's family, but every time they bring in the mothers, I'm like, do we need to? I'm like, let them rest, please.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
I've heard the opposite, but that doesn't make sense. So like these meetings and just from experience with my parents and people that have parents that are divorced, like these meetings, like you pay for these meetings, like it could be short or whatever, but it costs to do that. And then it's whoever's going to be paying the most to have you on retainer for the divorce. Interesting.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
I just loved Garcelle being like, she's a little sensitive right now after the coffee and vodka. And I was like, Garcelle.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
She took a second to say it, too. I was like, that's the word we chose.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
She did say sorry in the moment. No, she didn't. Sun said, we have to go. Sorry. We have to go.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
It's an investment. It's an investment. Art is subjective, Mary. I guess.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
Well. What do you mean wealth? She helped make that money.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
We'll see how the scene airs. But I do wish Sutton and Dorit were, like, united on this front. I've, like, Sutton's experienced it before.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
That did feel weird though, didn't it? The way Dorit was answering. What did she say? She was like, what do you mean? We have to live. Yeah. She just kept repeating it in like a weird like.
The Viall Files
E888 - Denise Richards Returns, Traitors w/ Chrishell, Love Is Blind w/ Alex, RHOBH, & Justin/Blake Update
Aren't we all?
