CH: It's made me as optimistic as I always was,
but it's also made me more of a realist. There's
that one component and that one thing that
resonates around the world. The show is so
popular in America, but it's just as popular
in South Africa and Australia, because it's
a currency we all understand and that's
love and companionship, so it definitely
translates across all those barriers
and borders.
CH: They're definitely the original, the "OG,"
as they say. They were the lightning in a bottle
that definitely validated this franchise. Without
them, I don't know that the rest of it would have
happened. People enjoyed it up to the point,
but when people realize that you're sincere and
real and there was at least the capability of that
happening, but at least the opportunity for that
to take place, it really legitimized everything
they were doing. And now we have 10 other
couples who are engaged or married or about to
have kids, so now it's commonplace, but you had
to have that first to legitimize everything.
TDN: Has this job made you more optimistic
about true love, or less?
TDN: So does that mean Trista and Ryan
are your favorites?
