Robach noted that she used to watch the show and its various spin-offs with her daughters and found it to be “family viewing because you’re learning about relationships and how people interact with each other.”
“We are rooting,” he continued. “We have this hope in us no matter what, and then we get cynical later. But I think at its origin, we are rooting for people and we’re rooting for love.”

“Right. I totally agree,” Robach replied. “And I find that I learn about communication when I’m watching these shows. Maybe that sounds silly, but I do think people’s emotions when I’m watching it, it’s legit. It’s real. It mirrors life.”“This is how you learn to communicate in a relationship,” Holmes commented.
“No, but I’m watching –,” Robach added, before Holmes interrupted, “I see why we’re having problems.”
Her co-host then added that he was “kidding” as Robach continued, “But how many times do you actually get to watch other couples communicate? I mean, you really get to watch it. And I know cameras are there and it is in part fantasy, but there is some real realness to those conversations that I found to be and interesting and insightful sometimes.”

“I’d love for you to do is to confide in me, to lean on me, to share with me so that we’re a part of the solution together,” noted Robach, who revealed that the issue has led to many arguments between them.
Going on to admit that his girlfriend “won’t like” his answer about why he doesn’t let her in on his bad days, Holmes explained, “Because when things get that kind of bad and I’m that kind of focused or that kind of quiet, the last thing in that moment I want to do is to tell you what I need. That is how I feel, and that is the truth. Not that I think it’s your responsibility. Well, you should just know.”
