Maddox also opens up about the hobbies that keep him grounded such as collecting watches, playing golf, hunting and whether he still feels like a kid when most of his friends are just starting high school.

Kaitlyn Bristowe sits down with Bobby for a wild, honest catch-up that starts with their DWTS baggage, Tom Bergeron’s “OUCH” line, the show’s mental toll, and Kaitlyn admitting she literally slept with a fake mirrorball trophy to manifest a win. Bobby also owns up to kind of regretting sending his trophy back, and Kaitlyn reminds him he still earned it. Then Kaitlyn gets real about Bachelor fame, being labeled a polarizing “character,” negotiating her worth, and how the internet loves to pigeonhole you. The two swap stories on therapy, hyper-independence, and growing up around addiction, plus Bobby opens up about why he doesn’t drink and how fear has fueled his whole career. Funny, raw, and way deeper than a reality-TV recap. Check out Off the Vine with Kaitlyn Bristowe.

Katie from Girls in Low Places drops in this week and brings a whole different angle on country music — including what it’s like being a fan (and a voice) for the genre in the UK. She and Bobby get into how country is landing overseas, what surprised her most once she got closer to the scene, and why some artists feel bigger across the pond than they do back home. They also rewind to a viral Riley Green moment that blew up fast and didn’t exactly go the way she expected, plus the story behind why she flashed Tucker Wetmore — yes, that happened, and yes, there’s context. From there it turns into a no-filter hang about “industry plants,” the weird stuff fans argue about online, and what makes a honky tonk feel like a honky tonk no matter what country you’re in.
