Reality Steve Live Video Blog – Thursday, February 2nd 9:00PM EST/6:00PST

Administrator — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 23:27:20 +0000

Here is tonight’s live video blog in case you missed it. Why am I wearing a bath robe? In honor of Courtney, of course. Although I wasn’t wearing a lace bra underneath. You can scroll over each “marker” underneath the video to see what questions were asked and then my answer to them. However if you’re trying to view it on your iPad or iPhone it won’t work. I’ll be tweeting out the questions I thought were most important periodically throughout the weekend. Hope you all enjoyed tonight’s show. See you next week.

Another Live Video Blog Tonight, “Reader Emails,” “Dr. Reality Steve,” & Has The Guys Mansion for Emily’s Season Been Identified?

Administrator — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 05:28:14 +0000

Back with another live video blog tonight at 9PM EST/6PM PST. It will NOT be 90 minutes this week. I am going to make sure we stay right around 45 minutes. It’s going to be a little more interactive as I plan on just saying a few things, then immediately taking the questions you submit. Your name and question will appear in text on the video next to the live feed, so you’ll be able to see it. Also, once the show is over and it’s archived, you’ll be able to scroll over every question that was asked on the show, and pick up the video from that exact point, rather than re-watch the whole thing. Not to mention, you’ll be able to tweet and FB out any of those answers that you’d like. So join Maddie and I later tonight as I rip through as many questions as I can.

Emily Maynard gave her first interview yesterday with People.com since being officially named the next “Bachelorette.” Well, at least she admits … Continue reading →

The Bachelor Ben Recap Including Ben at LAX, Info About Next Week, & A Fun Little Courtney Vs Emily Video

Thanks to everyone who participated in the live video blog on Thursday. It was a lot of fun. Will be some changes to this week’s show. Same time (9PM EST/6PM PST) right here back on the site, but I’m going to keep it to 45 min. An hour and a half was way too long. However, the webcast does have a feature that allows me to bring up your text question onto the screen instead of reading it from the cue like I was last like. And furthermore, once the show is over, each question that is answered is “bookmarked” in the timeline in the show, so instead of going back to watch the whole thing to find out what was talked about, you can just scroll your mouse over all the “bookmarks,” see what questions were asked, and start the video at that exact point. Really cool feature that you all will like. So join me this Thursday, sign up, and get your questions in. I will answer as many as I can.

Reality Steve Live Video Blog – Thursday, January 26th 9:00PM EST/6:00PST

Administrator — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 01:09:14 +0000

Here’s the video blog from last night. I talked about the ratings, Ben’s appearance on Ellen, the reaction people are having to Courtney, we had a couple Dr. Reality Steve emails, then I answered a gazillion questions for 90 minutes. Since Vokle uses Flash player, if you’re trying to view this video on your Ipad or Iphone, it won’t work. Sorry. Enjoy, and I’ll see you back here next Thursday night. Same bat time, same bat channel.

“Reader Emails,” “Dr. Reality Steve,” & Live Video Blog Tonight at 9PM EST/6PST

Administrator — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 16:56:13 +0000

So this is what Maddie looks like the night before her live video blog debut. I guess she needs her beauty sleep. Either that, or this is her every night when I’m on the couch and I just decided to take a picture. Don’t forget, 9PM EST/6PM PST tonight, check back on the site and I’ll be doing a live video blog talking about all things “Bachelor” related, some news and notes regarding what’s going on, I’ll answer your questions in the live chat, plus I have some left over “Reader Emails” and “Dr. Reality Steve” questions. How I’m going to manage to be able to do all this? I have no idea. Maybe I’ll have some alcohol nearby to spice things up a bit. If you still want to get an email to me, send it in the next 8 hours or so and maybe I’ll be able to get to it on the air. Looking forward to tonight.

There will be a live chat going on while I’m on, and you can participate … Continue reading →

The Bachelor Ben Recap Including Some Details from the Vegas Reunion and My First Live Video Blog This Thursday Night

Administrator — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 17:44:29 +0000

So I’ve decided to jump on the live video blog bandwagon. I’ve caught a couple of the “Gossip with Getz” live shows that air on Tuesday nights, and decided, “Hey, that looks fun.” So here’s the deal: This Thursday night at 9PM EST/6 PST, I will do a live video blog right here on RealitySteve.com, and I plan on continuing to do them every Thursday night. I have no idea how long it’ll be for, no idea what’s in store for each show, but I’m sure Maddie will somehow be a part of it. Bear with me as I hope to get the kinks worked out in this Thursday’s first show, but it should be fun. I’ll answer some Dr. Reality Steve emails, answer questions you may have about the show, and you’ll even be able to sign into the live chat that’s going on while the show is airing to ask stuff. Will there be guests? Good question. For the first few episodes, I’m guessing no. But eventually, sure I’d like to get one … Continue reading →

“Reader Emails”, More Goofy Ben Pictures, and the Return of Dr. Reality Steve

Administrator — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 15:25:43 +0000

Some notes to get to before a loooooooong “Reader Emails” section, including the return of “Dr. Reality Steve,” which will be on the last page. Great to have him back. He’s a real genius that guy. Send all your love/sex/relationship/marriage queries in. He’s the best advice giver in the world and doesn’t even charge you.

A thing I got a lot of tweets and emails about yesterday was obviously every single tabloid and entertainment outlet running their, “Emily Maynard to be the next Bachelorette” headlines, with none of them even mentioning that a week ago I said the same thing. Well, except for AccessHollywood.com. They were the only ones who acknowledged it, so thank you. Isn’t it funny how all the stories also threw in, “Our sources are telling us that filming is being moved to Charlotte.” Really? Wow! What a coincidence! I told everybody that last Wednesday. Look, I get how it is. These sites and magazines are not going to ever credit me for stuff I have on my site way before them. … Continue reading →

The Greatest Mug Shot Ever…

As you probably may have heard, Kasey Kahl was arrested this past Sunday in conjunction with an altercation outside of a bar in Fresno, CA, which as we know is the hometown of the great Kevin Federline. Now, you may be asking, “Why did you just refer to Fresno as the hometown of Kevin Federline?” Well, because when the story first broke on TMZ the other day and I tweeted it out, that’s exactly what the story says. Click here for the link. Here’s the exact quote to start the story that ran on Monday:

“Bachelorette” star Kasey Kahl was arrested Sunday morning in Fresno, CA — hometown of Kevin Federline — after cops say he was drunk and disorderly at a nightclub … TMZ has learned.

Was that really necessary to throw that in there? I mean, really Fresno? That’s who your city is holding their hat on? Fat-erline? Congratulations. I mean, there’s gotta be someone else you can claim as your own, right? Lets hope when the next big news out of … Continue reading →

The Bachelor Ben Recap Including “Bachelor News” and an Appearance This Saturday in DFW

Administrator — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 17:26:53 +0000

Some “Bachelor” news and notes to get to before we start this week’s column. This Saturday night, the “Bachelor” franchise is having their annual drunken hook up reunion. You know how last year it was in NY, and we got to see the footage at the “Women Tell All” of the Gia/Vienna/Wes triangle, guys hitting on Rozlyn, and hookups galore? Well, this year they figured they’d move it to a city more appropriate for this type of debauchery – Las Vegas. It’s gonna be at the Mirage Hotel, red carpet event and all. Yeah, don’t think for a second these people are passing on a chance to get their pictures taken on a fake red carpet either. No chance. It’s called a “reunion,” but essentially it’s a casting audition for “Bachelor Pad 3.” So whoever’s going, if you want on next season bad enough, go to Vegas, get as schnockered as you can, give some hilariously drunk ITM’s, and hook up with somebody. Hell, hook up with numerous people. That’ll pretty much assure your spot … Continue reading →

“Reader Emails”, Maddie’s Return to YouTube, and More on Emily as the “Bachelorette”

Administrator — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 05:46:21 +0000

Some news in the “Bachelor” and “Bachelorette” world to get to today, along with Maddie’s triumphant return to YouTube, which went about as well as I expected. Which is to say, well, you’ll have to see for yourself. I think Scotch may have one upped her in the howling department. But then again, Scotch had Courtney standing next to him when he howled, and Courtney is better looking than me, so he had a good reason. I’d howl at Courtney too. And whistle. And say vulgar things under my breath. But that’s just me.

Jenna’s conference call with the media is today. Obviously it won’t be transcribed by the time this column is up, so if you’re looking to read it, I will tweet it out either tonight or tomorrow, courtesy of WetPaint.com. I’m sure Jenna will chalk it up to being drunk and tired, but who knows? Maybe she’ll surprise us and start lashing out. We can only hope.

First I wanted to start by congratulating Chris Lambton and Peyton Wright for … Continue reading →
