00:00The one thing is this isn't in shy away from tricky moments and the pregnancy roulette was also one part that was really intense and online some people have been in the comments and kind of have been saying or felt that Layla has maybe doing the producer's work for them. What's your reaction to that commentary I suppose?
00:17I don't know. That's really not what it is. In my experience we've never been like told or asked to do something like that. I think that sometimes ideas will happen and I think that Layla had kind of like heard it be talked about and was like oh that sounds fun. And she genuinely was late for her period and was like I want to take one like this would be a fun game. And we always do stuff like that.
00:37Because it was trending on TikTok too. It was a trend. Yeah. So she was like ooh. But no I don't think any of us would ever be like ooh they told me to do this so I'll do it you know. But it was a sad moment. Like I don't think anyone expected and it was just luck of the draw that Demi got the positive. Like if she hadn't have pulled that herself it maybe wouldn't have been as traumatic but it was just like how it shook out and it was awful.
00:58Do the tensions still boil over when the cameras stop rolling? Unfortunately yes.
01:02Honestly we've had most of our drama off camera and then we rehash it on camera but I do feel like when cameras go down we all kind of take like a few weeks to like dissipate and like breathe because it's so busy.
01:13And spend time with our families. Yeah exactly. Like just do our normal lives. But we do I feel like we do end up getting back together and like doing things and hanging out. But the problem is if there's ever any drama we can't let it happen because then cameras will come right back.
01:26Yeah. Yeah. Because that is something. So much happens and so much time has passed by the time that we get to actually watch it.
01:32That's what's crazy actually. How the hell are you keeping it under wraps?
01:36It's so hard. It's so hard. Especially with our lives being public. Yeah. Like even on social media. Yeah. It's hard not to share. Yeah. Yeah.
01:42Because surely there are like some people let some drama slip. Yeah. Right?
01:46Yes. Unfortunately there are people who post things and but you know what it's funny because a lot of people will think it's scripted for like drama for the show and I'm like no it's really not.
01:56Unfortunately. Like this is how it is.
01:57Yeah the CMA's thing. Yes.
01:58I was like no that was real.
01:59That was 100% real when cameras were down.
02:01Yeah.
02:02But I feel like it keeps people interested so like if we're being talked about it's good but yeah it can be exhausting.
02:07Yeah.
02:08Absolutely.
