then they go to a commercial break and a promo runs for the spinoff series "bachelor in paradise" and guess who's the star? chad. so mean. >> they're going to bring him back as a bachelor? >> no, the spinoff show "bachelor in paradise" when they bring back a bunch of bachelors and bachelorettes and he'll be on the spinoff show. so we'll see him. there's more of chad but a different chad. we found out jojo, her ex-boyfriend is named chad as well. >> did he come on the show? >> well, it's incompete ee'sit'. an article in the magazine just happened to be there, a man saying they're kind of together and they're in on this and they still love each other and that she's in it for the publicity. so last night the show confronted her on camera with the magazine article and surprised her. >> and? >> take a look at her reaction. >> i don't think anything could take away this feeling. >> i want to show this to you.

>> to be dragged back to that is such a terrible time in my life. i'm mad. i hate him! i need to be up front about the situation. this is somebody that really brought know a bad place in my relationship with him. being here now and having to confront these guys is something that i'm not proud to show them that, i don't want to be in that magazine, i want these things being said about me. i have moved on from such negative, nasty things. i'm here with people who are genuinely so good. >> i believe her. >> i believe her, too. >> i'm going on record. >> i think she looked devastated. >> you guys don't believe her? ana, you don't believe her? >> i don't. i don't believe anything on "bachelor." just a universal blanket.

>> but do you watch it? >> i do. [ laughter ] >> that's what's different about us. i'm cynical about the whole thing but i can't brirng -- i can't watch people be so demeaned. it drives me crazy to look at that. >> it makes me feel crazy, too. i have a viewing partner on it, that's it. if i'm with that viewing partner i will watch it. >> you want to shame that person right now. >> i won't shame him. it's my best friend tony in l.a. i live with him when i'm in l.a. when i'm at home no one can handle. >> it there's more? >> we'll be talking about these two guys. this is jordan, the front-runner on the show. >> marine? >> no, the ex-nfl player, aaron rodge rodgers' brother. >> she confronted him because jojo knows his ex-girlfriend and heard bad things about him so said is it true, he denied it. >> then they made out. >> and robbie is my favorite on the show, robbie. he declared that he loves her on the show last night.

>> oh, mercy. >> he said "i love you" to her. >> too soon, ana. >> you see her picture? she's like, too soon. >> never say it unless you're sure the other person will say "i love you" back. >> i don't think they can yet. >> what do you mean? >> you're not supposed to -- >> oh, so you're not allowed to be -- do. >> do you think he could love her after five episodes? honestly. >> how are we describing the word "love"? >> he seemed genuine to me. >> oh, my gosh, amanda! >> amanda says yes. >> i liked robbie. >> amanda loves love. >> go get him. ? >> in one clip, this guy daniel got kicked off the show and i think he gave the best exit interview i've ever seen. >> obviously going for personality and obviously my personality is [ bleep ]. if this was based solely on looks, there's a good chance i would still be here. my body has nothing to do about

this, obviously she doesn't care about that because she's picked guys like evan and wells. they aren't on my level. bottom line. i've got a better chance of getting struck by lightning than her fa while -- you know, shaving my face. [ laughter ] >> it was so good. >> now i'm going to start watching it. >> it was so good. i'm going to miss daniel. going to miss him. >> he'll so up again too somewhere. >> thank you amanda. >> amanda, let's give it up. >> we're getting fired up for our big give away. plus nia vardalos wants to put two of our fans on a flight to greece. >> but first we'll check in with actress and funny woman with extremely good taste ana

i find they're all inspirational. >> they've all earned a stamp. >> correct! >> what are we making today since you're not wearing an apron. >> i was wondering that. are you going to make me something? >> we're your bookends. >> we're going to make an artichoke risotto in your honor with no dairy. >> thank you. >> i know it's strange for a lot of people. it can be tricky but this is easy. the secret is the garlic. i take the garlic head and you cut the top off. you can throw that one away but then we'll get olive oil and salt. i have to make you do something since you're wearing an apron. >> i like a lot of olive oil. >> have you ever roasted garlic like this? >> yes, it's so cool. >> so smush it up like that? >> smush it up and put in the the oven at 375 for 45 minutes. >> and you get voila -- isn't that crazy? >> see how soft it is? so i let it cool, by the way, don't touch it out of the oven, it will be too hot. but see how the olive oil oozes?

and this with a teaspoon of tamarry, which is like a soy sauce, you just pour it right in there without the skin preferably because that does not make it soft and gooey and you mash it up. >> you want to add the rest of this olive oil? >> add the olive oil in there. and i just pick it out. >> i never waste that good stuff. >> the flavor of the garlic -- you want to taste it. >> she's got a queasy stomach. >> so there's a lot of flavor in there between the soy and the garlic, you kind of replace the parmesan cheese flavor. so that's why you add that in there. so from here -- we'll brown, actually, the artichoke hearts first so you can get frozen artichoke hearts. it's not worth doing this with fresh artichokes at this point. it's too much work. >> artichokes are work. >> i like a whole artichoke when you display it like that but for this particular dish the frozen is fine. a little salt, let those saute

until they get nice and brown like this. take them out and right in here i have one shallot that i chopped up. it's brown ago little bit. and shallots with the garlic nice and sweet. then you add one cup of risotto. and you know risotto is short grain starchy rice. so if you add liquid to it slowly the starches come out so you don't to add fat or butter or cream. >> some people i guess are trying to avoid calories are saying "i won't have the risotto" but you're saying that would be a good choice. >> yes. and it's rice so it's gluten free and this way dairy free so it becomes vegan. >> what was that liquid you just dumped in there? >> a cup of prosecco. >> hoda, this has you all over it. >> you could do rose, any kind of light wine in this, especially for the summer but the ever ves sense in the prosecco makes it more elegant. especially if you were going to make it for a light dinner party. >> how long do you cook that?

>> two or three minutes until the prosecco reduces a bit then you add vegetable broth. you can use chicken as well but then it wouldn't be vegan. so you add a ladle and a half full at a time. it takes about 15 minutes total for you to continue to add the liquid. you can see the rice absorbing the liquid. as it gets dry you add more liquid. 15 minutes, you've got this. >> look at that. beautiful. >> and remember, risotto should be loose. it should not be a hard ball. so if it get too dry, add more liquid and then i finish it with -- will you grab those? >> delicious, i already have one. >> add the artichokes right in there. >> no thank you. >> you can eat them. >> and the garlic puree and the basil and mint because it's summertime with the prosecco. and that's it, mix it all together and you are done. >> you are the best. >> for this recipe, go to today.com/food and coming up, meghan trainor is going to sing for us the hit that made her a superstar.
