Hi. It's Morgan, and I'm going to be on tonight's episode of The Bachelor.
Crazy, I know! So here's how it all went down..
Then, on Thursday night, I get a DM from a friend of mine who works for Destination Cleveland (shoutout, Kristen). The DM said something like... "Need to ask a HUGE favor from you... and I'm pretty sure you will definitely want to be a part of this based on your chats on air this week :)" I immediately thought they needed extras for the group date, but I couldnt be too sure. It was pretty late for me, 8:30 pm on a weeknight... I go to bed at 8:45, mind you. I gave her a call and she asked me what I was doing from "12-8" the next day. I told her "I work in mornings... NOTHING!" That's when she proceeded to tell me they were looking for a female broadcaster to help out Pilot Peter on a group date at First Energy Stadium.
So the next day, I headed out to First Energy Stadium (actually, they picked me up in one of those SUV's they send girls home in. That was a cool feeling).
When I got to First Energy I saw Josh Cribbs right away. I was actually over at their show on Channel 19 the day before, so we were like "HEY WHAT'S UP!!" And then I recognized Hanford Dixon.
Two great football players that I grew up watching. Cribbs and Dixon were coaching the girls on the group date to prepare them for the big game.
Finally... YES! I did get to meet Pilot Peter!
After the game I got a chance to talk to him because my producer, shoutout Deb, was so awesome. Peter was the nicest human. He thanked me for coming and told me that my jokes were funny. He was very down to earth and just so happy to be there. I wished him the best of luck and (on the inside) kind of wish he would have asked me to join the house like he did Hannah B (sorry David, still love you).
The episode airs tonight on ABC at 8pm.
Here's to hoping they don't cut the scene!
