"Today on E news, we finally have the interview you've all been waiting for. Today model Mitch Grassi takes us down memory lane to his small quint hometown in Texas. He tells us about the family who raised him, the friends who love him, and the man he almost lost. Plus he takes us down to the farm."

"Farm?"

"Yes, farm."

Mitch walks through the house grew up in. A camera follows him with Ryan Seacrest by his side.

"Mitch, your childhood home is beautiful."

"Thank you! My mom's an amazing decorator."

"Now what was it like growing up gay in Texas?"

"Arlington is a small town where everybody knows everybody. My parents grew up here too so they accepted me. Outside of here though, not so much. Luckily I have friends who would kill someone for messing with me."

They walk into Avi's restaurant.

"This is my favorite. My best friends own it."

*voiceover as the camera pans over to see Mitch and Ryan talk to Avi, Kirstie, Esther, and Kevin.*

"Mitch's friends say he was just as sassy as he is now. Even though he is Hollywood trained now and a supermodel, when he comes home he's just Mitch."

"When we were teenagers, he would break into musicals. We were all sitting in my basement one night, all of us doing things we weren't supposed to and he started singing songs from Chicago loud. He got us all caught that night."

"He would also walk around yelling 'no more spankings' loud as he could at inappropriate times. School, church, a restaurant, you name it."

The camera zooms in on a sign that reads Hoying Family Farms. In the background, a crowd of people move around. Ryan and Mitch walk into a store front.

"And this is where I'll be spending most of my time away from LA."

*"The farm was once owned by Rick and Connie Hoying who left it to their son, Mitch's fiancé, Scott. They met in the 3rd grade and began dating in the 10th grade. After almost 5 years apart, fell in love all over again. The thing about these two is you can tell they are hopelessly in love. They literally finish each other sentences."*

"So when's the wedding?"

"We actually don't know. We're taking it slow. We love each other that's all that matters."

*"Let me tell you, these two were so cute. Actually the whole trip was cute. We were treated to an amazing dinner cooked by his friend Avi. We had a really great time meeting Mitch."*
