DAILY ROUNDUP 7/9 TRANSCRIPT
You are listening to the Daily Roundup here as part of the Reality C podcast. I’m your host, Reality Steve. Thank you all for tuning in on this Tuesday. Boy, we got a lot to go over after last night’s episode, more so everything that was shown in the trailer, which cleared up a lot of things, which I knew it would wish I could have gotten that before Sunday, but it’s okay.
Thanks We have pretty much everything for you now. And they gave it away in their season trailer. They do it every year. And this, you know, even if I wasn’t around and you just took the time. To look at things in the trailer and slow things down and pause your screen. You’d be able to figure it out too.
It’s not hard. And they gave away a lot in that trailer. And I will get to a lot of that. Plus my thoughts on episode one, plus what I’m going to do about the episode by episode spoilers. And we’ll get to that momentarily. So I wanted to start with this, that I said today, I was going to have your episode by episode spoilers.
Basically Monday nights are my busiest nights. I play poker with the guys at nine at 10 a at 10 o’clock my time and usually last couple hours. So the show ends at nine out here. I give myself an hour, but I spent probably 45 minutes of that going over the trailer and breaking down what I could figure out from the trailer.
And then I played poker online with the boys last night. So I have to push back the episode by episode spoilers to tomorrow. I will verbally go over them and what was revealed in the trailer. I’ll do that. In this podcast, it just won’t be written out. It won’t be in written form until tomorrow. So I hope you can I hope you can wait for that, but first episode thoughts that will go over for the first half of this podcast and the second half kind of lean into other stuff happening on the show and what, you know, kind of leads into the, the spoiler aspect of it.
So we had eight guys that ended up getting intro videos. Only two of them in our final four. So the eight guys who got intro videos were Marcus, Sam, you know, Marcus Showberg, Sam Najad, Grant Ellis, Sam McKinney, Thomas Wynn, Aaron Herb, Dylan Bucker, Devin Strader. Those eight. Yeah. So eight of them, Devin and Marcus, as we know, are in the final four.
And so the two guys you know, Jeremy didn’t get one and then we’ll get to the other final four. But, you know, I. The way they edit the limo entrances and stuff like that. It’s obvious who lasts long on the show and the guys that who they kind of really burned through their limo entrances. We know end up not being relevant to the season, you know, I unfortunately guys like guys like Brent.
Brendan had a kind of a long limo entrance because he was the one with the pepper. But that ended up doing him in Dakota really didn’t do much. Kevin McDevitt walked up in the skis and that was really it. And I don’t think we saw him the rest of the episode. Matt Arnold said, Hey, I’m a redhead. Here’s some ginger shots.
Can’t remember what Moe’s did. Can’t remember what Ricky did. I will say this though. Someone did call me and I was on the phone for about 20 minutes. And I didn’t want to be 20 minutes behind and pause my TV. So I was just watching it in the background with no sound on for about 20 minutes. And it was during limo entrances.
So I don’t actually know what some of the guys said. And honestly, I say this every year when it comes to episode one, it’s the worst episode of the year. It’s at least the most boring episode of the year. And because I understand that we’re getting to see these guys for the first time, but when the same thing happens in episode one, every single season outside of.
Basically Gabby and Rachel’s or Caitlin and Brits or Byron, Velvick and Jays, it’s the same thing. It’s limo entrances. It’s intro videos. It’s a cocktail party. And then it’s a rose ceremony. I first impression rose is given out and then a rose ceremony with maybe a little drama thrown in some people bickering at each other.
It’s just, there’s not much at all. One other staple, and they did it again last night for the first episode is when the first impression rose is presented, whether it be by Chris Harrison or Jesse Palmer, literally they make all the guys and the women talk about it. Like, what’s it going to do? Oh, look at that rose sitting there.
Who’s going to get it. And there’s just so much conversation. Oh, that changed the vibe in the room when the rose came down. Why? You know, there’s going to be a Rose given out on night one. Why should it change anything? Just do your thing. Go talk to her. If she likes you, she’ll give it to you. If she doesn’t, she’s not going to give it to you.
It’s so simple, but they make such a big deal out of this stupid first impression. Rose. Now, I guess you could say it’s technically not stupid for the Bachelorette, because for a while there, we had a run where the guy that got the first impression rose on the Bachelorette ended up winning. That’s not the case this season, as we know Sam McKinney doesn’t win.
But that’s what I’m saying, it’s like, that trope, that storyline that they always do, it’s like, okay. You bring out the first impression rows and everybody, they have to do ITMs and talk about it and what a game changer it is. And everybody’s saying like, I really think we should, I really think I need to get that first impression rose.
I’d love to get that first impression road. It’s like, okay, you don’t really need it. It’s not that big of a deal. One person gets it every season outside of a couple seasons where I think multiple people got it. But you know what I’m saying? It’s really irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. It just is, you know?
So. But they make them do it every single season, like clockwork, you know, again, on the live stream last night. I talked about what was going to happen in the first episode and I told you they were going to play a truth or dare game. I told you they were going to show the truth or dare game, but they weren’t going to show Devin’s part of the truth or dare game.
He rolled the dice. It said truth. The card he picked up said, what is a conspiracy you believe in? And he said that he believes nine 11 was an inside job. It was not shown. I roll my eyes at it, whatever we move on. I obviously, some people don’t believe that most of the people in this world don’t believe it was an inside job.
And if you do believe it, it was an inside job. My. My whole point to you is I just disagree with you. There’s no point in sending me anything, any link to anything. I’m not going to read it. I don’t care. Just like you don’t care that I think it is that it wasn’t an an inside job. So I don’t care that you think it was an inside job and you don’t care that I don’t think it was an inside job.
So there’s no point to even message me on it. Please don’t. There’s no point. I just roll my eyes and move on at Devin thinking that Sam and the love virgin. I mean, I guess it’s better than telling her he is a virgin because I just, we, we know how it goes for virgins on this show. Usually never very well.
And we already know in episode two or episode three during the stripper date, we see it in, even in the trailer, and he tells her that he’s falling in love with her, the guys on the comedy roast date, call them the Persian virgin, just not going to go well for Sam. But I guess this is, you know, what they tell these people to do.
You know, go hit her with this. You’re the love virgin because you’ve never been in love. Great. Jen, the bachelorette looking to find love, looking to find her husband. Do you honestly think. I mean, Sam, I understand that you’re an Instagram influencer and your whole goal is you have literally a hundred thousand more followers than any guy on the show before it started.
And that’s your thing. You’re an influencer. Great. And then you clearly went on the show to add to your Instagram following. I get it. You make TikTok videos. Great. But do you honestly think that Jen was going to pick a guy who’s never been in a relationship and never been in love? Come on, let’s just be realistic here.
It’s just, it’s silliness. He was cast for filler. He was cast because of his story. He was never going to get picked in 1000 years on this show. Period. End of story. And the final thing I wanted to point out about episode one, at least to me, was when she gave Sam M. I’m Sam McKinney, the first impression rose, and they had the make out on the couch and they made it seem like the guys were all waiting at the rose ceremony.
Why Jen and Sam McKinney were making out on the couch in the other room. Again, don’t be fooled by the editing whatsoever. All they did was show guys standing in a room. They didn’t show the guy standing in a room and in the same camera frame pan over to the room where Jen and Sam were making out. They wanted to make you think this make out lasted hours and hours and hours.
And guys were just standing there waiting at the rose ceremony where she finished up tonguing down Sam McKinney. That wasn’t the case. Just they wanted to make the audience think it was this long ass kiss and the guys were standing and waiting. They weren’t. This podcast is brought to you by. Tropical Smoothie Cafe.
