I think that we can make this something special.
And I am happy with my decision.
Finally, she says, Can I have a moment?

I’m like, Absolutely.
It left me feeling a little bit uncomfortable, to be honest with you.
It didn’t feel like she was leaving of her own free will to me.

But I do know that I don’t intervene unless I’m asked for help.
And so that’s how that one went down.
It was uncomfortable for me.

I was very unsettled.
Disgusted by what she saw, Tayler then gravitated towards Tempter Yamen.
To which Tyler responded: And shes a great kisser.

MARK L. WALBERGS TAKEI have a soft spot for Tayler.
She shared a lot in between the lines of not feeling like she could be loved.
There’s an anger, there’s protecting yourself through strength.
So I understood her lashing out.
I understood her going to her default of take care of herself, vibe.
So I have a little space for her.
I think she’s a good woman.
She’s on a journey.
I was not afraid.
I’ve seen enough.
But her reaction of ‘I’m relieved’ I understood.
And then, she started to open up and be a human and that was pretty great.
Grant, I think, is generally a good guy.
In his mind he’s doing what he’s doing, but it’s whatever.
And then he sees Ashley [get close to Danny] and he’s heartbroken, like crushed.
So I had to gently call him out and say, Does it look familiar?
So a lot of tightrope walking for me this season.
MARK L. WALBERGS TAKEAs soon as they’re separated, they wanted to get back together.
They’re kind of just waiting until that happens.
I always tell them, The reason you’re here is not someone else’s behavior.
The reason you’re here is something that you control.
So Lino had this, I’m always second, nobody cares kind of repeating trope in his life.
And so that’s what we worked on at the Bonfires.
Maybe it’s time to turn that on you a little bit.
And that seemed to break her up a little bit.
And so it was fun to watch the two of them."
That’s what kind of excites me about my job.
And I saw that with Lino and Alexa.
And so that was cool.
