Full Episode
Hello, everyone. It's your girl, A.D., and welcome back to What's the Reality? Y'all, I am so excited. I got my two girls here, Marissa and Alex, from season seven of Love is Blind. Hello. Hi. And welcome.
Hi.
What's up? Can I just say we look like the Powerpuff Girls? Yeah, we do.
We coordinated, but we got the memo. Y'all look stunning. I love it. Stunning, stunning, stunning. I haven't seen you since Reunion. Yeah, since the Reunion. And I saw you a few months ago in Charlotte, turning up. Yeah. We had a night. I love Charlotte now. Now I have to come to D.C. Yes. Oh, yeah, you do. Yeah. Yeah. And you guys have to show me. Show you a good time. Yeah.
She'll show you a good time. I'll tag along. I'm like, yeah, I'm new to DC. I know. What did you tell me that you're like the ambassador for nightlife? Not the ambassador, but I definitely know my way around. Yeah, okay, bet. She knows her way around. Okay, good. So, Marissa. Hi. Hello. Hi. I'm not going to hold you, girl. Last time I saw you was at the reunion. Yeah.
And I, you know, there's so much that was not shown, obviously, as we know, from the reunion. Like, so much was cut out. But sitting in that audience was tough. Yeah. Tough, tough, tough. I mean, I'm so happy to see you sitting here smiling. Yeah. But, like, take me back to that moment, one. Yeah.
I mean, honestly, if I can go back, it would change some things that I did and not the things that most people probably would expect. But I mean, it was a difficult time. I had just watched my breakup scene and then boom, I'm on the stage with the guy who I just had this most traumatic breakup with.
And so I definitely wish I had a little bit more time to compose myself because once they started talking to me, it was like straight tears for me. And I didn't want to cry. I think it was just everything changed. I don't think y'all understand, like, the audience was silent. Like, it was just silent, and you were just pouring your heart out. Like, my heart was breaking, like, watching that.
Yeah, it was not fun to watch. It was not fun to, like, be sitting there. I think knowing that everyone in that room had also seen the breakup scene, you feel very self-conscious, and I just felt just very exposed in that moment. Yeah. Yeah. Do you guys still talk at all? No. What's the update with that? We do not talk. We should... No. No. Have you... We do not talk. Yeah.
