    Way to go Dave getting that 1st off contract interview!

    This is pure gold. Tino is a beautiful soul who was done so dirty in TV. There’s so much more to him that was never shown. I also think he was ambushed at the happy couple weekend.
    He’s definitely right that Rachel needs a couple years to come into her own.
    I wish them both nothing but happiness. Great interview Dave.

  • @runnerX007
    @runnerX007 11 месяцев назад +54

    Tino is a great example that if you're truly a good person at heart, no matter what edit you get on the show or whether they choose to exploit your mistakes [we all make them!], you can still come out on top--and whatever the show did can actually backfire. I was pretty neutral on Tino during the show itself, but the way he's handled himeself since the fallout and spoke about it with such class has made him one of my favorite bachelor alums. The show might try to destroy you, but how you handle that can actually make you look good!

  • @Julianneanneanne
    @Julianneanneanne 11 месяцев назад +33

    Don't walk, RUN to watch this interview. The show did Tino so dirty.. he's just a normal guy who happened to make mistakes that were filmed. Most of us are lucky to never know what that's like. It's hard to choose my favorite DWD, each one has been so insightful and fun. Can't wait to see who we get to watch next Saturday!

      I so agree with you , I always make the point to all the CHIEF JUDGES AND EXECUTIONERS on a reality show cameras are on you 24 hrs each day, how many of us can be filmed and not be seen and heard doing things that might questionable, we are human , we make mistakes, we all do, we are not Paragons of virtue, although some of us really think we are.

  • @madamepaulettes5337
    @madamepaulettes5337 11 месяцев назад +172

    I thought Tino really suffered more than anyone at the hands of production. The kiss thing was so stupid. Over-reaction of the century. I think Tino is a classy guy who cares about people and is beautiful inside and out. His Dad was so funny on his Facebook posts and his family really suffered from the internet pitchforks, egged on by his editing by Bachelorette production. It did seem like the Roman Empire where Tino was thrown to the lions.

  • @jennifer.martin.48
    @jennifer.martin.48 11 месяцев назад +34

    I really enjoyed this episode, and got to see a whole new and real side to Tino. I still feel the same way back then as I do now, the producers did him so dirty and he didn’t deserve as much hate as he received and how they treated them at the AFR was atrocious. How is it that Jed had a whole relationship on Hannah B’s season and didn’t get that kind of treatment on AFR and Tino did???
    It’s refreshing to see a former contestant that actually goes back to normal life and doesn’t use the show to gain a social media following. Kudos to him for opening up and sharing his side of the story. I think a lot of viewers a seeing him in a different light.

    @vwchik7777 11 месяцев назад +11

    Damn! Just when I thought you couldn't top the last! This was undoubtedly the most grounded and for the superfans who can't separate the edit from reality, let this be a lesson! Whether you like the lead of contestant or not, you DO NOT really know who they are!

    Wow! No wonder what Rachel saw in Tino to make him F1. He is so incredibly handsome of course, but here we really get to see his personality. So manly and sexy! Infectious- the kind of guy you want to be around. And also such a good person. He would 100% be my type (if I wasn't madly in love with my boyfriend who I am going to marry). Tino, you are a 10/10. You have it all. I know you mentioned here that you weren't interested in being The Bachelor, but you would make an AMAZING Bachelor. Authentic, handsome, kind, trustworthy, intelligence, and so much more...you check all of the boxes! TINO FOR THE BACHELOR! Whoever ends up with Tino someday will be a VERY lucky and blessed woman!

    This really goes to show that if you are a good person, even abc can’t permanently control your narrative. Tino might be the least judgmental person that exists because how he kept from saying a single negative thing about Rachel after what she did to him takes a saint 😂. Tino is better off without that drama.

    Tino is a way bigger person and too mature for Rachel! She’s all about the publicity and attention.

      I don't think it has to be a competition. They can both be good people but it just didn't work out.

      We drove from Newport Beach up the pacific coast highway to Huntington Beach and then back down, just a nice beach loop ;)

    It definitely helped him in the long run that production went so over the top with “punishing” him. It had the opposite effect and made people feel more sympathetic to him. That was the most uncomfortable AFTR ever. Rachel has since said that Aven got duped into that. He did not know ahead of time that Tino would still be on stage. Such cringey manipulation on productions part. Nothing organic about it and it made Rachel look sort of pathetic too.
