Man, two brutal tales in Bachelor Nation within the information yesterday that dominated headlines. The primary being that Charity spoke out for the primary time relating to her time on DWTS and she or he went in depth in regards to the bullying she skilled. She informed this to Cheryl Burke on her podcast that was launched Monday. By the best way, Cheryl can be on the podcast once more later this month or starting of September. However this was the primary time she has opened up about how dangerous it obtained for her on the present. Unlucky to listen to, however similar to Charity mentioned, can’t say all that shocking. Followers on social media haven’t any chill and can say something to anybody with zero repercussions. Hate to listen to that she went by that when nobody else was. Additionally yesterday, we came upon about thetragic passing of Hailey Merkt, a contestant on Nick Viall’s season, who had leukemia. Possibly you don’t bear in mind Hailey, she solely lasted two episodes, nevertheless it doesn’t make her passing any much less vital. In the event you go to her IG web page (@haileymerkt), there’s a hyperlink to donate to her Go Fund Me if you happen to really feel so inclined. Horrible to listen to when anybody within the franchise passes away. Condolences to her household and buddies.
Lets instantly get to it. Your “Reader Emails” for the week…______________________
Hey Steve- longtime fan and reader/listener!
Concept:
Have you ever thought of doing a podcast with 2 former contestants (significantly ones who have been at odds with one another) on the identical time? Like Courtney Robertson with Kacie Boguskie. Or like former exes from the present? Or exes/enemies from any present (The Problem, Love Island, BIP, and so forth.)? I feel it might be attention-grabbing to see how their views have now modified and/or get totally different sides to the story than us viewers are proven! I do know most “villains” or “feuds” are created by the producers/editors so it might be attention-grabbing to have two polarizing figures or exes go in your podcast directly to principally quash their ‘beef.’
Or possibly it doesn’t even must be 2 people who find themselves at odds. Possibly simply 2 contestants from the identical season who can every give their recollection of how sure occasions transpired, their expertise on totally different dates, their expertise post-show, and so forth.
My favourite podcasts of yours are all the time those the place the visitor appears so introspective and has moved previous their expertise on the present, so I feel it might be so attention-grabbing to have on 2+ friends on the identical time (with a standard denominator) to say: ‘hey right here’s what I used to be doing/saying on this second and why’ or ‘you and I’d by no means be buddies within the outdoors world and that’s okay— right here’s why’ and so forth.
Only a thought!
Remark: I can’t say I haven’t considered it, however, I’ve by no means actively gone out and requested anybody about it. It could possibly be one thing down the highway probably. It could simply must be the appropriate scenario as a result of, regardless that it occurred some time in the past, that could be the rationale why the events wouldn’t wish to do it. As a result of they don’t have any beef with the opposite individual anymore and dredging it up could be uncomfortable for one or each of the events. I’d have to offer this extra thought. ______________________
Per your interview with the charming Rachel Reilly: I’m a 64 12 months outdated girl and have some girlfriends my age who discover males simply wish to have intercourse with them. So sure grandpa bachelors are usually not a lot totally different than the youthful bachelors.
Remark: Ha ha, I get it. I feel she might need been referring to simply the concept that they’d be happening seeking to capitalize monetarily by social media, so possibly their intentions could be a little bit extra pure. Sure, I feel they know they’d get extra consideration from girls (that goes for any man who goes on the present), however I feel these males on Golden Bachelorette can be sorely mistaken in the event that they thought they have been gonna be IG well-known or might construct their model put up present.______________________
hey, steve.
simply had a query for you since i do know you’re an enormous “beverly hills, 90210” fan..did you additionally watch 90210, the 2008 reboot? if that’s the case, have been you proud of the best way kelly, donna, & brenda’s characters continued? Sure, I did. And admittedly, no I didn’t. There was nothing in regards to the reboot that tied it again to the unique aside from these characters, and Nat, displaying up. To me, it was simply one other HS present. I didn’t have a look at it as any continuation of the unique. I used to be superb with the present as a standalone HS present, however nothing about it introduced again many 90210 recollections for me. Now the 2018 six episode present on Fox the place they introduced the forged again? That one I loved as a result of it was them. Throwing Jennie, Tori, and Shannen onto some HS present making an attempt to maintain us within the loop of what occurred of their lives simply didn’t do it for me.
I by no means watched the unique sequence (i used to be born in 1993), however 90210 (2008) was all the things to me because it was proper across the time i used to be in highschool.
anyway, sorry if you happen to’ve ever answered this query earlier than.hope to listen to again from you, thanks.
Remark: Now that’s humorous that you just resonated extra with the reboot forged. Is sensible because you have been in HS on the time. However I feel I converse for lots of authentic 90210 followers after we say the 2008 reboot didn’t actually do a lot for our nostalgia issue.______________________
Morning Steve!
I used to like to stroll onto a SW flight and select my seat spontaneously. Nonetheless, through the years with the change in boarding teams and the differential seating choices primarily based on ticket pricing, I selected to go to a different airline the place I might select my seat once I bought my ticket.
Assigned seating has made the boarding course of really feel extra streamlined and predictable, which lessens the anxiousness of discovering seats collectively.
I’m excited in regards to the prospect of returning house to SWA! I like all the things else they provide, particularly the customer support.
BTW…love the podcast. Whereas I don’t all the time agree, I like the angle you give on issues that makes me query myself! Hold it coming!
Remark: This appears to be the consensus reply I obtained from lots of people after sharing the Southwest story. I suppose as a result of I’ve not often flown Southwest, I wasn’t actually in tune with how others who flew it repeatedly felt. And it appears to be they flew it due to the quantity of flights, the no baggage price, the no change flight price, and due to their low charges. Selecting your individual seat appeared to be low on the checklist as causes for why they flew it. So now the problem for SW can be if they’ll hold all the things else the identical however add the assigned seating. They already mentioned they’re redoing their planes to get extra legroom seats which you’ll be able to pay further for. However so long as they hold no baggage charges and no change charges, they shouldn’t lose a lot enterprise – if any.______________________
Hello Steve,
To my very own shock, I discover myself actually liking Devin! Aside from the 9/11 conspiracy factor: any probability he mentioned that as a joke? Not that it’s humorous, guess I’m simply looking for an excuse for him.
Thanks for all you do.
Remark: It wasn’t mentioned as a joke. ______________________
Hello, Steve
I despatched this to you by DM on IG, however you in all probability didn’t see it. I used to be listening to Armchair Skilled podcast they usually have been speaking to an professional on Munchausen syndrome and the very first thing that popped into my thoughts was Laura Owens! The visitor goes into a number of element about tales of a number of girls who’ve faked pregnancies and the lengths they go to. I assumed it was attention-grabbing. I don’t assume I noticed that. I’ve heard from folks just lately after having Clayton on and sharing my being pregnant story from individuals who say it’s extra widespread than I feel it’s. All of them had tales of somebody they knew who faked a being pregnant.
My query is definitely about Survivor. I was a loyal watcher from the primary season, however after they switched to Wednesdays I misplaced contact. I solely simply picked it up once more about 3 seasons in the past. What do you imply while you speak in regards to the “new period?” How is sport play on this new period totally different? What makes it a “new period?”
Love your pods. I don’t often hearken to the sports activities day by day as a result of I solely like baseball and Olympics and also you don’t actually cowl these.
Thanks!
Remark: New Period is each season since COVID. So principally each season since 40. That’s as a result of after COVID filming went from 39 days lengthy for the primary 40 seasons, to solely 26 days lengthy post-COVID. It’s a serious competition with all gamers who competed within the first 40 seasons. It’s only a totally different expertise having to be on the market 2 weeks longer. ______________________
Hello Steve,
Why do you assume Sam’s household is making an attempt a lot to manage the narrative? Dude didn’t even get a hometown.. it’s absurd!!
What is that this supposed tea Sam and his household hold claiming with out proof they are going to drop relating to Jenn and her being on joeys season? It sounds ridiculous. Every little thing they’re saying and threatening to do is ridiculous. Offers off fully naïve and ignorant vibes. However they won’t be deterred. So simply allow them to at this level. They’re making it worse for Sam, not higher, by doing this.
As for the what they declare they’re gonna out Jenn for? Effectively, contemplating the brother-in-law deleted that remark, I extremely doubt he’s gonna truly do it. This household talks an enormous sport however they’ve had a month to this point and offered nothing of substance, so I feel in the event that they proceed it’ll be extra of the identical. However IF the bro-in-law decides to share this Jenn “tea” he claims to have, if it’s what I feel he’s referring to, lets simply say it’ll make them look even worse than they have already got.
Is Tayshia engaged to that man who seems on some silly Bravo present? She’s been quiet about him.. I doubt it, since that will be main information that she/him would put up, and can be coated by each main outlet.
Has your opinion of Devin modified after the primary 4 episodes? I imply, I nonetheless assume he’s loud and a bit obnoxious. However my factor with him is I nonetheless haven’t determined if he was extra fascinated with profitable than truly being into Jenn.
Isn’t there some adverse intel relating to Marcus? What did you hear??? Nothing that I’ve ever seen any proof of. It’s why I haven’t talked about all of it season.
What do you concentrate on Jesse as host of the bachelor?
Thanks for being an important blogger!
Remark: Jesse is completely superb for me. The host of this present doesn’t play a serious position in my viewing enjoyment. He barely does something. ______________________
Hello Steve –
Are you into the Olympics? Do you wager on any of the occasions? I can’t say I’m. I’ve adopted the outcomes, however have solely watched the Group USA basketball up up to now. I’ll watch mens and womens soccer now that we’re within the quarters. And I’ll in all probability watch golf. And if Danielle Collins makes the womens tennis finals. However no, not betting it.
Do you gather something reminiscent of sports activities or celeb memorabilia? Nope. By no means been a memorabilia man. Once I was in center faculty, I’d gather baseball playing cards. That was an enormous factor. I had a couple of 3-4 run the place I used to be obsessive about it and went to card reveals, and so forth. However I haven’t been into it in 35 years. I’ve no jerseys, no signed images, nothing. Simply not for me.
Large Brother:
Do you assume T’kor goes to make crochet hats and garments cool? Will any crochet merchandise be coming to the Actuality Steve merch retailer? Ha ha, that in all probability gained’t be taking place.
Given how early it occurred within the season, do you assume there’s any probability Julie will convey up Angela mendacity about Matt threatening her after we get to finale or will the viewers barely bear in mind both of them? I feel as soon as Angela is eradicated from the sport (I don’t know what occurred on POV this week and if she gained and took herself off), Julie goes to have her clarify what occurred. She will be able to’t NOT ask her.
Regardless of the Boston Sturdy feedback and visor with pretend hair, do you additionally get the sense that Kenny regrets being on the present and desires to be voted out quickly? (I don’t watch the feeds)
Remark: Definitely appears that manner. I can’t think about he’s lengthy for the sport. ______________________
Do you assume Matt truly paid for his personal flight to New Zealand? In all probability not, however the extra vital factor is he didn’t power the present’s hand to do something. They needed him on the present and allowed it for storyline functions.
How excessive would you price Marcus for the following bachelor? He looks as if such man. Please inform me you don’t truly assume the producers would think about Sam M.? Sam M. just isn’t going to be the Bachelor. And I don’t see it for Marcus as properly. I do not know who they’re taking a look at aside from guys in your closing 4 like they do yearly.
Have you ever ever seemed on the web site jokers updates.com? You possibly can learn reside updates from the reside feeders. Additionally, you may see a snapshot of who’s HOH, nominated, have Nots, and so forth. Additionally they offer you an actual time viewer ranking of the houseguests. Naturally, Lisa and Angela have been on the backside persistently.
Remark: Sure, however I’ve stayed away from it this season. I’ve gone a full week with principally with the ability to scroll previous something that’s popped up on TikTok FYP or my IG search web page.______________________
