On the Aug. 2 episode of the Love to See It podcast, Tran, 26, opened up about contestant Sam M., who has been claiming he got a “bad edit” on the show. She disagreed, noting that he needs to take responsibility for his behavior.

“Listen, nobody can put words in your mouth,” Tran said. “As much as a TV edit is [an edit], no one can give you a villain edit in some way, which is what people are claiming. You have to own your words because no one’s putting words in your mouth. You are the person that is saying those things.”

Tran admitted that she was “pissed off” that Sam couldn’t see the times he made her feel uncomfortable or contributed to issues on the show.

“Sometimes you just gotta take responsibility for the things that are coming out of your mouth,” she said.

Thinking back to the pair’s one-on-one date in the most recent episode, Tran shared that she wished she hadn’t let Sam pressure her into jumping off the Sky Tower in New Zealand when she insisted she wasn’t up for the challenge.

“That moment is very, very interesting for me to watch back and process and watch back with a lot of other eyes on the situation, and I was definitely annoyed in the moment when he made the decision for both of us to jump,” she explained.

In the episode, Sam could be seen giggling as Tran cried and expressed her fears. She said that while she ultimately made her own decision to jump, she wished she had stood her ground and not given in so easily.

“Thinking back to how I grew up, I wasn’t particularly emotionally supported a lot growing up especially with my father not really being in the picture,” she explained, adding that Sam’s behavior reminded her of family members who were “not the most empathetic.”

Sharing that she felt she “definitely forgave him way too quickly for that,” Tran noted that it highlighted what she needs to work on within herself.

“I’ve been so independent in taking care of myself that when somebody gives me an inch. I kind of take it for miles,” she realized. “That’s something that I’m currently just working on.”

Ultimately, being able to see the way she was treated in that episode helped Tran understand her personal boundaries and needs, even if she didn’t see it in the moment.

“That’s not what I want in a partner,” she said. “I don’t want a partner that’s just going to tell me to do something and not be there for me and not emotionally support me in that way. So watching it back was tough because it’s also like, that’s not the message that I want people to be watching, like little girls who look up to me, that’s not what you should be allowing your partner to do.”
