? You are listening to the Daily Roundup here as part of the Reality Steve podcast. I’m your host, Reality Steve. Thank you all for tuning in. A good, fun filled episode on this Monday. We’re going to go over Golden Bachelorette a little bit. Spoiler ahead from this past weekend. But the juice from last night’s YouTube live stream that I broke on that show, going to repeat it again here for those who didn’t catch the YouTube show last night in regards to Sam McKinney, the guy who received Jen’s first impression rose.
He has exes and they’re speaking out. Talked to one of them on yesterday, talked about it on the live stream last night. And I will get to that in this podcast. Also going to talk about big brother starting this week. Questions about that. I got to fill you in on a dream that I had. One of my four staple dreams I’ve told you about and unfortunate news over the weekend, obviously a very rough weekend in the political world with what happened there in Pennsylvania.
But we had three or four celebrity deaths over the weekend. One that obviously struck close to home for me, Shannon Doherty’s passing. And we’ll get to that at the end of the podcast. We’ll get to all that momentarily. So let’s begin with this. Yesterday I posted it on my Instagram stories and I posted it on Twitter.
Joan had a hometown date yesterday and it was with chalk chapel in Wichita, Kansas chalk is the guy that she had a one on one date. The first one on one of the season at Disneyland last week, I revealed who he was, I found out last week who he was and I found out this past weekend he had a hometown date yesterday.
So here’s the thing. I don’t know how many hometown dates Joan is having. Last year Gary had three, we know the standard is four. Maybe for the Golden Bachelor and Golder Bachelorette seasons, they’re only gonna do three. I don’t know what number Chalk was. I don’t know if this was her first one. I don’t know if it was her second one.
I don’t know if he was there, he was her third one. I have no idea. I just know she had a hometown date yesterday in Wichita. I have to assume that Mark Anderson, Kelsey’s dad probably had a hometown date as well, or is having a hometown date, any golden bachelorette news. I will keep you updated on and fill you in.
So that’s the only thing I know right now is that we’re at hometowns. I don’t know if she’s having three or four, but one of them was with chalk chapel yesterday in Wichita, Kansas. But the big story last night on the YouTube live stream was the fact that one of Sam McKinney’s exes. And I don’t even know whether or not you want to call the word X, but definitely someone that he was involved with.
Her name is Rayleigh. She took to Tik TOK three days ago and posted a video after watching the premier episode and explained on her video. Hey, this is a situation. Met a guy in October, really fell for each other. I think she met him at a wedding, really fell for him and they kept in touch and they kept in touch for a long time.
He came to see her. She went to see him once. He came to see her twice, both times that he came to see her, she, he stayed with her. She graduated Texas state university this past May and obviously he had just gotten back from filming, but at no point during the six months where they, that they were together, did he ever tell her he was going through applying for the show?
She didn’t find out until the day he left for filming. That day, while he was on the plane, sent her a long note, which she forwarded on to me. Not going to read the whole thing, but it was basically him putting the onus on her. And as to why he chose to do the show versus continue to date her. I don’t, I don’t really buy much of what he says because having spoken to Rayleigh, Also to let you know, Sam was once engaged.
That’s not news. I posted that the day he was announced as a bachelor at contestant, he was engaged. It was broken off in June of last year. He talked about it in the first episode. He said, my ex cheated on me, which is true. I’ve spoken to her. She’s never denied it to me that she ever cheated on him. I didn’t ask the story behind it.
Because she did say, while I did do that, there is much more to the story that he’s not sharing. I had a feeling he was going to go on the show and make me look bad. And I told her, I said, look, I’ll give you the opportunity. If you want to come on the live stream, you want to come on a podcast. By all means, you can.
I’ll let you do it. And she’s like, you know what? I just want to stay out of it. I, I knew he was going to do this. He’s going to make himself look like the victim. But the interesting thing about the whole thing of him saying that my ex cheated on me and he’s going to revolve his whole time on Jen season around the fact that his ex cheated.
What he isn’t revealing to anybody is even after he found out she cheated and even after they ended their engagement, he still got back together with her. So how bothered was he really? By his ex cheating on him, considering he was still getting with her. And they officially, according to her ended things in about January of this year.
So I’m not even saying like, Oh, he was even getting back with his ex fiance right before he left. No, he wasn’t, but the ex fiance did know about Rayleigh. Really had no idea that he was still in contact and possibly hooking up with his ex fiance. She had no idea until yesterday. So I wasn’t emailed Railey’s tick tock until yesterday.
She had done it, I think three days ago, Thursday or Friday. So I was told about it, reached out to her on tick tock on a message. She messaged me right back. We got to talking and I said, Hey, let’s just discuss this over the phone. I gave her the opportunity to come on the live stream last night and she’s just like, I don’t think I want to do that.
She was, cause it’s still very hard on me. And if you watched her five minute video on Tik Tok, she had to clearly stop the camera a few times because you could tell she was welling up and she was getting emotional. She was really hurt by what Sam did and having to relive it on Tik Tok. She wasn’t happy about it.
Now you could just be like a lot of people get over it. You’re just a scorned X or whatever. All she’s doing is pointing out her truth. If you’re going to take that out on her, it’s probably because you think Sam is hot and you want Sam to like you or something. That’s the only reason you’re taking it out on her.
She’s done nothing wrong. She told her story. Now, it is a little bit more serious than, oh, he was just, she was just some side piece that he was hooking up with and he didn’t tell her he was going on the show and then he left to go on the show. This was a little more serious. She shared it. She met his family, his family met her.
So when family’s involved, you’re now dealing with somebody that has feelings there. And Sam, look, the bottom line to this whole story, Sam’s just an F boy. That’s really all it is. This isn’t, I, this isn’t gonna be some sort of war going back and forth. I’m not gonna sit here and say, Oh my God, Sam McKinney is the worst contestant this show has ever had.
No, he’s no different than 90 percent of them. He just has an ex that happens to be coming forward and telling her side of the story about what happened. Well, when she did that on Tik TOK, she found out yesterday. While I was in the midst of emailing with her on Tik TOK, some other woman reached out to her and said, by the way, I’m hooking up with him or I was hooking up with him last year.
And I’m still talking to him now. I’ve hooked up with him since he got back from filming. Let’s swap stories. They realized their timelines overlapped. So that’s two that we know about. If we honestly think these are the only two women that this guy was talking to and, or hooking up with during his application process.
I’ve got some land to sell you, but again, this isn’t some sort of war. I’m not saying he’s the worst guy ever. I’m just pointing out, Rayleigh was the one that came forward with her story. I had no idea about this story until yesterday afternoon when someone sent me her tick tock and he said, have you seen this girl’s tick tock about Sam?
I said, no. So immediately I went straight to the source. I didn’t know if she was going to respond to me. Maybe she was just going to leave it at, Hey, here’s my tick tock. But she gave me even more details. Once I did talk to her cause I was like, Hey, Just run me down the timeline. I watched your tech talk, but I just want to make sure she said, yeah, met him in October of last year and.
Didn’t find out he was leaving to do that. He was on the bachelorette until the day He was leaving and he told me and then he basically pinned it on her saying well You didn’t tell me how you felt So this is why I made the decision that I did which is total bullshit and elsewhere His sister is going after Rayleigh now and basically saying well, he’s got a contract He’s not allowed to say that he can’t and I find that very Convenient that he’s using the fact that he had a contract and was about to go on the show that he couldn’t tell anybody Was doing it But when he came back from filming, he had no problem breaking that contract and telling Rayleigh some of the things that happened on the show.
So that all falls by the wayside when you’re just using the contract as a convenient excuse to not tell a girl that you’re hooking up with, Oh, by the way, I’m going on The Bachelorette because that was kind of her point to me when I was talking to her. She’s like, I don’t know why he didn’t just tell me.
I said, well, really, unfortunately, this is probably your first four way into the whole bachelor nation world. What Sam did to you is no different than what 90 percent of the guys on the show do to other women in past seasons. It’s just what they do. They leave the door open with women back home. They don’t tell them.
And then all of a sudden they spring it on them and they’re just like, well, we weren’t serious. Or, well, I didn’t hear, you know, you didn’t open up to me. So I decided to do the show. It’s just all bullshit. He’s full of, he’s full of crap and when you watch the next six episodes, just know some of the things that he was doing.
Number one being the biggest thing that I heard through all of this. Well, two big things that I heard through all of this. Number one, production knew that Sam had to be back before filming ended because he was inefficient to marry his sister. So, that’s all true. That’s on social media. You can find his friends and his, his friends even commenting on the day Sam was announced as a contestant about how he had to be back in May to marry his sister.
Which he did but here’s the thing now that we know this Anything he says to Jen in six weeks is complete and total bullshit. He could never win He wouldn’t logistically be allowed to win because he knew he was leaving He knew he never had a chance to make it to the end of the show Because he had to be back to marry his sister and so did production So when you watch Sam for the next five episodes, just keep that in mind Just know that anything he’s feeding Jen is total bullshit And anything he’s feeding any of these women, he seems to be kind of a love bomber and telling women what they want to hear, which again, no different than most of the guys on this show, but Sam’s been exposed now because exes have decided to talk.
This woman, Rayleigh, very nice girl could tell she was very bothered by the fact, I believe. When I first started talking to her yesterday, the other girl hadn’t contacted her yet. So the things that I was hearing from her was very, she was very open to the fact that I think, well, I know for a fact, Sam and Rayleigh were trying to find a way to see each other.
Since he got back from filming, they were trying to plan a trip. He was going to go into her graduation, but that was the same time his sister was getting married. So he couldn’t go to her graduation at Texas state. Then they were talking about possibly linking up in some other way. Him coming to see her or her going to see him.
But it didn’t work out until yesterday when she finds out, Oh, there’s a girl that he goes to the gym with in South Carolina that contacted Rayleigh and said, Oh, by the way, here’s my situation with him. So I think Rayleigh is pretty much done with him. She, at least she should be. And I think one of the other main things that was learned, and number one, like I said, him, you know, using, you know, saying the fact that he was, he could never win this thing.
With Jen, because he had to be back for his sister’s wedding. He was the efficient at the wedding. The other thing was when he came back from filming, he told Rayleigh, he thought Jen was a liar. He said, Jen’s feelings are all over the place. And the person she picks at the end is going to prove that that’s what he told Rayleigh really told that to me.
Now, obviously I did not hear the conversation between Sam and Rayleigh. I’m relaying what Rayleigh told me from what she remembers of the conversation. And. I tend to believe Rayleigh because she’s provided receipts and proof and I know that obviously she has a past with Sam Now I’m telling you right now Sam’s family and Sam himself.
I’m sure gonna come out against me because of this I’m sure they’re gonna take to social media and take shots at me or take shots at the women Who have come and spoken out against him, and I get the family doing it because they’re just protecting their brother and whatnot, and I’m sure Sam will probably make some snide remark on social media or whatever, but the bottom line is I’ve seen the receipts.
I believe Rayleigh. I believe his ex fiancee Sierra, and I believe them over Sam. Sorry. There’s one common denominator between Sam and these three women. Sierra, Rayleigh and Jim girl, let’s just call it that the girl he goes to the gym with in South Carolina that he was hooking up with and has hooked up with since filming ended.
There’s one common denominator in those three quote unquote relationships and it’s not any of the women, it’s Sam McKinney. So who are you going to believe? You know, he already called when, when, when Rayleigh called him out for, Hey, I was just contacted by so and so from your gym. Oh, she’s a psych. She’s psychotic.
Don’t listen to her. And then he also told Rayleigh while they were dating to block Sierra, his ex fiance because Sierra was crazy. So he’s telling all the women that he’s with, oh, these other exes you hear about, they’re crazy. I mean, this story is as old as time. This is what guys do. Oh, my ex is crazy, you know, and just to scare them off yet.
She was crazy enough to where after you, she cheated on you and ended an engagement. You were still getting with her. So apparently she wasn’t that crazy because you still wanted to get with her. So this is what I’m saying. But yeah, those are the, probably the, the, the two biggest things. He comes back from filming and he says that clearly I think he’s talking about Devin.
But it’s convenient that he couldn’t tell Rayleigh that he was going to be on the Bachelorette because of a contract situation. I can’t tell anybody I’m going on the show. I could get in trouble. But then when he comes back, he does talk about the show. So sorry, Sam. That really doesn’t work. Can’t use the narrative to, you know, you can’t use the contract to fit your narrative because before you could have told her and that’s all she wanted was the truth.
You could have told her you had applied, could have said, Hey, I applied. I have no idea if they’re getting back to me. Clearly he did. He knew they were getting back to him. He just chose to keep that from her because he knew he would probably not be able to see her or talk to her. And he knew he would probably let her down.
But I also saw the message that he left her the second he got his phone back. And it had no, and it was basically him showing a very strong interest in getting back with Rayleigh when he got back from filming, they tried to make things work in terms of seeing each other. They didn’t. And then all of a sudden this happens yesterday and she finds out there was another girl involved and they’re pretty much done.
So just wanted to relay that story. Like I said, not looking to start a war here. It’s nothing like that. But yeah. Rayleigh came out with this on tech talk. I just happened to, you know, obviously be notified of it, contacted her myself. I wanted to get the story and this is what she told me. And I’m just relaying it to you.
