00:00 I already warned my father.
00:01 He might want to turn it off in certain episodes.
00:03 Danielle, Jordan, I am so excited about this upcoming
00:06 season of "Winterhouse."
00:08 We're heading to Colorado, brand new cast,
00:11 and I absolutely love it.
00:12 So coming off of "Summerhouse," how does this
00:14 compare to "Winterhouse?"
00:15 Hmm.
00:16 Hmm.
00:17 Well, your format is more similar to "Winterhouse,"
00:20 because we're there for like 2 and 1/2 weeks.
00:22 Yes.
00:23 That's true.
00:23 I was unsure about how it was going to go down.
00:27 I just knew that I was going to have fun.
00:29 And we have an all-star crew.
00:32 Heavy on the all-star.
00:33 Heavy on the all-star.
00:34 I feel like we got all our MVPs from different directions,
00:37 different places, and we just came together
00:39 and made a great team.
00:40 Yeah.
00:41 I know, Danielle, I think you said in the first episode
00:42 that this was your chance to kind of get your mojo back.
00:45 Yes.
00:45 Do you feel like you accomplished that at the end?
00:47 100%.
00:48 OK.
00:48 Yeah, I had a great time.
00:51 How Stella got her group back was about this.
00:52 Yes.
00:53 Yeah.
00:54 Yeah, because I went into it like, you know,
00:56 off of a breakup.
00:57 I was super not sure of myself.
00:59 And yeah, you just kind of need some badasses around you
01:03 to kind of like make you feel good about yourself again.
01:06 And then kind of like, OK, I got this.
01:08 What was the moment that you realized, all right, I got this.
01:10 I can move on.
01:11 Because I know you said in the beginning of the show
01:14 that you and Robert maybe were talking,
01:15 and you were hopeful at that point
01:16 when you were getting back together.
01:18 But what was that moment maybe during this trip
01:19 that you were like, you know what?
01:21 Past is in the past.
01:22 I can move on.
01:23 I think it was maybe night one.
01:26 Yeah.
01:26 I'm pretty witty.
01:27 Right.
01:28 All of the ladies were kind of just loving each other.
01:31 And to me, when you have good females around you,
01:34 it just makes all the difference.
01:36 And so I had Jordan, who I knew before,
01:38 Casey, who I knew before, but then Malia and Katie,
01:41 brand new friends.
01:43 And I was like, wait, this works.
01:45 And they're like the kind of people
01:48 that you want in your corner when you're going
01:49 through something really bad.
01:51 They just lift you up and drink through it.
01:53 Alex seems to be the topic of conversation--
01:56 oh, yes, we're going to skip to that.
01:58 He seems to be the topic of conversation
02:01 in the first few episodes.
02:02 You avoid his advance.
02:04 You take it on.
02:05 Yeah.
02:06 Yep.
02:07 But he was smoother with her.
02:08 OK, yes, you both.
02:09 That's true.
02:09 Yeah, well, you kind of put him in check,
02:11 because you're like, please stop talking and just--
02:13 Right.
02:13 That was true.
02:14 Calling him out, I think humbled him a little bit,
02:16 brought him down.
02:17 And then I brought him right back up.
02:19 Yeah.
02:20 What was it about Alex that you kind of gravitated towards?
02:23 His hair.
02:23 Yes.
02:24 It is well-conditioned.
02:25 It's poignant.
02:26 Yeah.
02:27 And he has this adorable quality.
02:29 You can't be mad at him for longer than two seconds.
02:32 And I just need that.
02:34 Yeah.
02:35 Were you looking for something more?
02:37 Or was this just a fun hookup trip?
02:38 No, fun, vacation.
02:40 Vacation fun.
02:41 Yeah.
02:43 Yeah.
02:44 Trouble.
02:44 Things got spicy.
02:45 Yeah, I was going to say, things definitely do get spicy.
02:48 I mean, did anything happen between the two of you
02:50 to like-- because Alex was interested in you as well.
02:53 Did a love triangle kind of form at all?
02:56 Yeah.
02:57 Yeah.
02:58 It kind of turned into an octagon at one point.
03:00 OK.
03:01 It was just all over the map, basically.
03:04 Yeah.
03:05 But did the two of you leave on good terms?
03:07 Yeah.
03:08 After we fought.
03:09 After you fought.
03:10 After things got ugly.
03:11 Yeah.
03:12 Came right back together.
03:13 Recovered.
03:14 Right.
03:15 Was it more of Alex at fault, or who was kind of--
03:18 That's his choice, yes.
03:19 I blame Alex.
03:20 Yes.
03:21 I blame Alex for everything.
03:21 I blame him for everything.
03:22 But the thing is, you can't be mad at him for so long.
03:24 So it's just like--
03:25 It's impossible.
03:26 Because he means well.
03:27 He just-- you know, he's a little bit younger.
03:29 Yeah.
03:30 And so he's still learning the slopes.
03:33 Mm-hmm.
03:33 Literally and effectively.
03:35 Yes.
03:36 You came into this experience, this show,
03:39 a year and a half celibate.
03:40 Yes.
03:41 10 years without a serious relationship.
03:42 Yes.
03:43 What were you looking for?
03:43 Because of the details.
03:44 Yes.
03:45 Woo!
03:45 Yeah.
03:46 I was like, I'm hot.
03:48 The hot seat's over there now, right?
03:50 You know, I was ready to mingle.
03:53 OK.
03:54 I knew I wasn't going to go into a relationship
03:57 or anything like that was going to come out.
03:58 But I was open.
03:59 And I was ready to find a little Western cowboy.
04:03 Power.
04:04 Yeah.
04:04 So I was excited to just see what was out there for me.
04:07 It was the first time of really putting myself out there
04:10 and being willing to explore anything if anything came up.
04:14 So yeah, you'll see a little bit of that.
04:16 Yeah.
04:16 You were all a little on the fence about Schwartz showing up.
04:19 Because at this point, we were just, I think,
04:21 a week into Scandible.
04:22 Literally.
04:22 Yeah.
04:23 And especially you, Danielle.
04:24 You were like, I don't know what vibe he's
04:26 going to bring into this place.
04:27 So at the end of it, did your mind change about Schwartz?
04:30 100%.
04:31 He is such a sweetheart.
04:33 Another person that you can't be mad at ever.
04:36 It's just really--
04:37 I went in.
04:37 I was like, I got Katie's back on this.
04:40 Maloney.
04:40 Because we have our own Katie.
04:43 And then immediately, I was like, oh, god.
04:45 I love you.
04:46 It's so hard.
04:47 And he's always been so nice to me in the past.
04:50 So I couldn't really be mad at him.
04:53 And he needed us.
04:54 He was going through it.
04:56 And we gave him this positivity vortex.
04:58 That's what it is.
04:59 That's what I like that.
05:00 Positivity vortex.
05:01 I was like, I know what vortex.
05:02 That's what we called it.
05:03 And come right on in.
05:05 There's a cuddle puddle just waiting for you.
05:07 I love a cuddle puddle.
05:08 That's great.
05:09 How did he leave the experience?
05:10 Do you feel like this was what he needed at that time?
05:12 Absolutely.
05:13 Yeah, I think we restored his faith in this--
05:16 Humanity.
05:17 Yeah, in this world.
05:19 We got friendship bracelets.
05:20 He gave us friendship bracelets.
05:21 I still have mine.
05:22 Yeah, very deep whip to him.
05:24 Well, he filmed the reunion kind of midway or towards the end.
05:28 And then came right back.
05:29 Oh, OK.
05:30 What was his mindset like when he came back from that reunion?
05:34 Damaged.
05:34 Broken.
05:36 Yeah, in need of recovery.
05:38 Yeah.
05:39 You can tell he went through it.
05:41 Come back in here, buddy.
05:42 Right, yeah.
05:43 Was there an instant spark between he and Katie?
05:46 They were vibing pretty early on.
05:47 Yeah, I was going to say.
05:49 It was pretty early.
05:49 But her name--
05:50 Yeah.
05:51 Yeah, that was--
05:52 Yeah, it was definitely hard for him
05:54 to get past a lot of things.
05:56 Yeah.
05:56 It does, by magic of editing, it seems like they do hook up.
06:00 Was that a surprise for you guys?
06:02 Honestly, I was like, yeah.
06:04 Yeah.
06:04 Yeah.
06:05 Because we were like, it's a group.
06:05 I was with it.
06:06 You were with--
06:07 Yeah.
06:07 I was supporting.
06:07 I feel like we had a conversation with him together.
06:09 Yeah.
06:10 And we were like, listen, you need to get over the name thing
06:12 and just go for it.
06:13 Have a little fun.
06:14 Yeah, we started calling her by her last name just
06:16 to support it.
06:17 Oh, right.
06:17 Yeah, Floody.
06:18 Yeah.
06:19 Yeah.
06:20 Do you think that helped him maybe get over Katie Maloney
06:23 a little bit more?
06:24 Apparently.
06:24 Yeah.
06:25 Apparently.
06:25 I do.
06:26 [LAUGHTER]
06:26 I think it was an arousing success.
06:28 Yeah.
06:29 Yes.
06:29 Do you think that this is a relationship that
06:31 should carry on?
06:32 I mean, obviously, this was filmed back in March.
06:34 So I don't think that they're together right now.
06:36 But do you see a long-term potential?
06:38 No, our friendships are forever.
06:39 Our situationships and relationships--
06:42 Yeah.
06:43 Yeah.
06:43 --stayed in college.
06:44 Past summer did not end the way everybody expected.
06:47 Right.
06:47 And how's Lindsay doing?
06:48 I love that the two of you seem to be back as friends again.
06:52 I love how you all rallied around her,
06:54 went on that girls trip.
06:55 Yep.
06:55 That was fun.
06:56 Yes.
06:58 She's doing OK.
06:58 Yeah.
06:59 Right?
07:00 I'm not going to say that she's doing great.
07:03 No, she's doing OK.
07:04 I mean, breakups, ugh, not great at all.
07:09 So I think that she's going through it.
07:10 She's gone through it.
07:11 But she has an incredible amount of females and good people
07:16 surrounding her right now.
07:17 So we're all seeing her.
07:18 No, totally.
07:18 And I know that you obviously voiced your concerns
07:21 last summer.
07:21 Was this what you were so afraid--
07:24 This is what I wanted to avoid, this exact thing.
07:27 And it's not a vindication, or it's not a I was right--
07:33 like, no, that's not what I wanted at all.
07:36 It was more of you have to have certain conversations,
07:40 and you have to go deeper when you're going
07:45 to commit to someone like that.
07:46 And I'm so sad that-- because she's such a romantic.
07:52 And she really wanted it.
07:53 And it just sucks.
07:55 It does.
07:55 So you have not spoken to him since this happened?
07:57 No.
07:57 No.
07:58 And I don't intend to, really.
08:00 "Bravo Con" should be interesting.
08:01 "Bravo Con" should be interesting.
08:02 It's going to be quite the panel.
08:03 It's going to be a crazy Jordan panel.
08:05 I'm like, I'm so excited.
08:08 Are you still shocked, though?
08:10 Yes.
08:11 Yes.
08:12 I did not think that that was going to happen at all.
08:15 Yeah.
08:16 Well, hopefully, everything happens for a reason.
08:18 I was going to say.
08:19 It's probably for the best.
08:20 I know that she posted a photo with--
08:22 she and Austin today.
08:23 Do you think that she should go back to that?
08:25 No.
08:27 No.
08:29 I love Austin.
08:30 Don't get me wrong.
08:31 I do love Austin.
08:31 He's a great person, great time.
08:34 But no, we're not revisiting that ever again.
08:36 We're not going back to the past.
08:38 We're looking toward the future.
08:39 Yes.
08:40 Yes.
08:40 Our queen deserves a lot.
08:41 Definitely.
08:42 And then as we wrap it up, what is that one moment
08:44 that you both can't wait for everybody to see on "Winterhouse"?
08:48 That's a really tough question.
08:49 What is the moment?
08:51 I don't know.
08:52 I feel like that's what my mom's not going to like.
08:54 I already told her.
08:55 I already warned my father.
08:56 He might want to turn it off in certain episodes.
08:59 I feel like, ultimately, I'm excited for everyone
09:03 to see how we really grow as a group,
09:06 because we really came in there not really knowing anyone.
09:09 And then we left a full family.
09:12 Like our group chat is literally called WH familia.
09:15 Because we are.
09:16 It's dysfunctional, but it's wonderful.
09:18 And I'm excited for people to see that develop.
09:21 There's not one particular moment.
09:23 It's an entire season of just goodness.
