The winning duo got candid about their time on reality TV and what comes next.
HuffPost got to speak with Bri Stauss and Chris Watson, the winners of season one of"The Bachelor Presents: Listen To Your Heart.",” Bri Stauss and Chris Watson were clearly the couple to beat. Their romantic connection was seemingly instantaneous, and their performances were unfailingly flawless. For a show that posited that the truest love and the strongest musical partnership would go hand in hand, Bri and Chris were more than front-runners: They were proof of concept.
Bri: Basically. We did have two weekends where I was able to go to Los Angeles and start to work a little bit on our album. And then when I flew back [to Utah], everything got shut down, and we were just kind of stuck where we were.Chris: We’re able to count all the blessings. It would be terrible to be stuck in quarantine and have nobody to talk to. But I have the best person to talk to, and we talk all the time. And then we’re also healthy. So there’s just not a lot to complain about.
Chris: Something that was cute that we tried to do [during] downtime [was] we would take those times and make it into a mini date. Like, if we’re going to have this time together, let’s talk about your family. What happened in high school? When did you start singing? And we would just use those times to really get to know each other a lot more.
Bri: We really wanted that quality time together. But it was the night before the biggest performance of our lives. It’s a finale. We didn’t want to jeopardize that and we needed our sleep. I mean, we would’ve stayed up all night. And why would we do that to ourselves when we have two songs to sing and our future’s on the line?
Matt and Rudi’s exit was heartbreaking. Was their early departure surprising? Did you assume like, “Oh, all three couples are going to go into that final performance?” It seemed like there was a lot of camaraderie among the cast. And that was something that was really fun for us to watch. Who were you guys closest with?Once I start naming them off, I’m going to name off everybody. Ryan, Trevor. Literally, I love all the dudes. I love all the girls. I don’t care how they all look on television. They were really all amazing women. I will say this. As the show changed and the performances, we definitely got different bonds.
Chris: I mean, more than a reunion show, we’re musicians. We want a reunion tour. But I mean, if we had a reunion show, it would just be amazing. We just had some of the realest people. And so I just know that a reunion show, you would get to know your favorite characters a little bit better. Yeah, let’s talk a little bit about the process of making the album in quarantine. Explain to us how this worked.
