The Bachelorette Recap Including Chris Harrison Already Lying & Did Emily Maynard Spend the Night with Three Different Guys on the Overnight Dates?

Administrator — Mon, 14 May 2012 21:11:11 +0000

Back for the 24th season of this franchise. Sixteen “Bachelors,” and now Emily being the eighth “Bachelorette.” And this will be the 22nd season I’ve written episode recaps of the show. Holy crap. Wow. Has it been that long? That’s absolutely crazy to me. Started off as an email to three people and it’s now spawned into this – my full time job. With the new season starting up that means there will be a minimum of two columns a week, but there will definitely be weeks where I squeeze in three or four. Tuesday will be the recap column of the episode, and Thursday will be “Reader Emails” and “Dr. Reality Steve,” along with any news and notes about the show. So get your emails in this week for Thursday’s column since for the last couple months, when the traffic is lower, the emails pretty much dwindle down pretty low.

So since a lot of you have been gone ever since Ben’s season ended and haven’t visited since then and kept up with … Continue reading →

Who Got the First Impression Rose, 25 Douchey Head Shots, and a Mike Fleiss Interview Bordering on Hilarious

A lot of stuff to get to today, and since there will not be a video blog tonight, I figured I’d cover as much as I could for you. I’ve got some stuff to take care of tonight and am rather busy, so I apologize that you will not have a video blog for the first time in the last 13 weeks. We’ll be back next Thursday which will be the last one before the show starts on Monday the 14th. And yes, we will continue them throughout Emily’s season on Thursday nights at 9PM EST/6PM PST.

Let me first begin by getting this off my chest since it was asked to me a lot this week on Twitter and on email, even though I answered it way back when the show was first announced. The answer is “no,” I will not be covering “Bachelor: Canada,” nor will I have spoilers for it. It doesn’t air in the states so I don’t see why I’d have any interest in covering it. I saw that filming … Continue reading →

“Reader Emails,” “Dr. Reality Steve,” & Another Contestant Confirmed

Administrator — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 16:06:09 +0000

Definitely need to start off today’s column wishing a Happy Birthday to my mother, Charlotte. You all got to meet her, albeit briefly, on a video blog a few weeks back. She is a great mom, and although she lives in California and I obviously I see her less than I used to, she has always been there for me. So Happy Birthday mom! Your card should be arriving today. And signed the same exact way every single card I’ve sent you has been signed for the last 20 years. Make sure Olivia and Nichols behave for you on your birthday, which is probably asking a lot.

There will be a live video blog tonight at 9PM EST/6PM PST, however, I don’t plan on going long because, well, tonight is the NFL draft and I’m a sports geek. Probably do no more than 30-40 minutes tonight, but hopefully I will have found out some stuff on whatever Emily and Sean did today for their hometown date. I know Emily was hanging last night in … Continue reading →

Two More Contestants Confirmed, Final Four Information, and the Charlotte Airport Pictures

Administrator — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 14:20:49 +0000

A lot of links and pictures to get to today, but let me first start off by talking about the charity event this past Saturday night in Dallas for the CAP (Child Abuse Prevention) Center, which formally announced on Saturday they are changing their name to Family Compass. A very fun event all around, and no, I did not have a date. Decided that bringing someone I barely knew probably wasn’t a good idea, so, I went it alone. Which was fine. Also for those curious, Melissa Rycroft, who was supposed to be the honoree, was unable to attend, so I didn’t run into her. I don’t know what reason she gave, but, she did donate two tickets to the DWTS finale to the live auction that ended up going for $7,000, so I’m guessing that all but made up for her not appearing. All in all, a very fun night, and a special shout out to Meredyth Childress who had requested me to be their “celebrity” for their table. It was great meeting her … Continue reading →

Here is tonight’s video blog in case you missed it. Started off by clearing up a major misconception regarding the lawsuit against me, then answered the two questions that I ended yesterday’s blog with. If you’re trying to view this video on your Ipad or Iphone, it won’t work. However, if you go to this link, you can download an app which will allow you to. Thanks everyone who joined in and watched tonight, or participated by asking a question. It was a lot of fun. Lets do it again next week. Enjoy…

Emily’s Final Four & My Thoughts on the Racial Discrimination Lawsuit Against ABC

Administrator — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 15:20:09 +0000

A lot of information to update you on since I last posted a week ago. Some of it you may already know, and I’ll include everything that’s happened in the past week, plus a lot of what you don’t know, which I will also update you on. A reminder that tonight we will be back with the live video blog at 9PM EST/6PM PST talking all things “Bachelorette” related. However, since today’s post will be updating you on a lot of things regarding what’s happening, I’m open to talking about other shows tonight since I haven’t done much of it recently. Also, at the beginning of the show, I’m going to be addressing one major aspect of the lawsuit against me, so you don’t want to miss it. It’s kind of a misconception that I’d like to clear up since, well lets face it, there are a lot of ignorant people out there and I’d like to just express some of the ridiculous claims laid against me. For once, you will actually get my side … Continue reading →

“Reader Emails” & “Dr. Reality Steve”

Administrator — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 16:10:39 +0000

Good times last night on the video blog. Olivia finally lost her tooth last night, Nicholas woke up crying for no reason, and they’re all headed back to California now. If you missed last night’s show, it’s in the post below this one. 70 questions asked total, with the last half pretty much directed towards the kids. As I mentioned in the video last night, last week’s video blog never recorded by Vokle. I’ve done 12 shows now and that was the first one it’s happened to. When I asked them what happened and why the video never posted, they said technical issues that night, and every show on Vokle had that problem, and the show couldn’t be recovered. Is what it is. Vokle is a free service so there’s not much I can do. If it doesn’t record, it doesn’t record. Last night’s did, it’s up now, and you can scroll through and skip right to any question you want. I think my favorite was when someone asked Olivia about the tooth fairy. Apparently … Continue reading →

Here is tonight’s video blog in case you missed it. Microphone issues were definitely improved from past shows. About half way through, Olivia and Nicholas joined in for random silliness. Not much “Bachelorette” talk after that to be honest, so scroll through any question you want to see. If you’re trying to view this video on your Ipad or Iphone, it won’t work. However, if you go to this link, you can download an app which will allow you to. Thanks everyone who joined in and watched tonight, or participated by asking a question, even if it was for the kids.
