This is where the drama started the drama that I reported to you a couple weeks before the season started I told you hey, look Zoe’s gonna be the woman this season that is going to Upset a lot of the other women because she does the constant interruption thing It’s nothing we haven’t seen a thousand times before and it’s just a matter of I don’t know How you think people should act on this show.
I know if someone does act this way on the show and constantly goes out of their way to clearly listen to what producers are telling them in their ear and go and steal grant at times that makes the other group and the rest of the group just sit there and have to wait. Of course, other people are going to get upset at you.
Now, any of the other women could have done the same thing. Look, when Jen season was airing and I said. Devin pulled her aside and on a group date and pulled her around the corner to get alone time with her. I said, look, any of the other guys could have done it. And the exact same thing that Devin did, not that I’m defending that guy, cause he’s a horse’s ass.
What he did in that particular date was no big deal. So I’m not going to jump down Zoe’s throat for doing it because any of the woman on that date could have done it seemingly because maybe a producer told Zoe to do it and no producer nudged any of the other nine women on the basketball date. To go do that.
So it is kind of hard to say anybody could have done it. But clearly the producers during Jen’s season told Devin, when you guys are all walking, pull her aside and go over here. Go and get, didn’t they get ice cream or something? And then producers on the basketball date said, Hey, when you’re practicing for the date with the little kids, instead of doing a dunk, go pull Grant aside and get alone time with him.
It’s tough to say, but. If Zoe’s never watched this show, that’s on her. She has to know that that’s going to upset a lot of the other women and her reasoning of, Hey, the date card said, shoot your shot. Okay. You don’t need to take date cards literally when Grant isn’t even writing that shit and a producer is.
So for her to say, well, the date card told me to do it. That’s kind of, it’s actually kind of funny that she’s actually taking the date card literally like, Hey, well. Yeah. The date card told you to jump off a bridge. Zoe, would you do it? You know, so I, I mean, it’s not that big of a deal in the whole grand scheme of things.
So no, don’t send Zoe death threats. Don’t call her names. Don’t call her a bitch on her caption on Instagram. It’s whatever that we’ve seen this a gazillion times on this show. She didn’t do anything that bad. She did enough to piss the other women off and I understand why the other women are upset considering some of the things that we’ve seen In the past on this show, there’s been way worse things said and done on this show than constant interruptions.
Now, the stuff with Allie Jo, that is no different than exactly what Devin did to Sam McKinney when they were there with Jen, where they were literally just stealing her back and forth between each other. Did Devin have to do it? No. He was told to by a producer. He did it because they knew it would absolutely send Sam McKinney off the deep end and it did, and it pissed him off.
So Allie Joe goes in and steals Zoe. Steals time steals Grant away from Zoe, but Allie, but Zoe just still stays in her same position, sits on the couch. I’d say Allie, Joe, and Grant were what, 20 yards away from them? And then after they start talking, Zoe just gets up and says, yeah, can I get him back?
Like, that was just like it was unnecessary for Devin to come in when he knew. Sam was there. Did Zoe have to do that? Absolutely not, but a producer convinced her to so, I can’t feel for Zoe just like I didn’t feel for Devin in that moment. You didn’t have to do it. So you got to deal with consequences when you do that.
And she did. And basically, nobody’s a fan of her, including Allie Joe, who. If she doesn’t have a spot waiting for her five, ten years down the road when she’s married on Real Housewives of New Jersey, then I don’t know what she’s doing and she hasn’t, she hasn’t ran with a career opportunity is all I’m gonna say.
Because I feel like when I watch Ali Jo and when I listen to Ali Jo argue with Zoe, it’s literally something straight out of Real Housewives of New Jersey. The basketball game was, well, let’s just say it wasn’t the most competitive game I’ve ever seen. In the history of this show, it might have been the least competitive game I’ve ever seen in the history of this show.
18 2, the purple team was loaded with the five tallest players on this date. And the other team had the five shortest players. They had no clue how to play basketball. They’re throwing the ball over their head without even looking. They didn’t know what dribbling meant. They’re running and jumping and traveling all over the place.
It was a hot mess that the purple team won 18 2. The fans were there cheering like it was Game 7 of the NBA Finals because that’s what they’re told to do by production when they’re there. My favorite part is the whole thing with the signs. So you gotta remember, the season started, the limo entrances was on Wednesday, September 18th.
They move into the mansion on Thursday, the 19th. This was the first date of the season, this group date. 10 women were on it. They ask fans obviously to come out for it. Remember at that time they were promoting, Hey, bachelor nation, join us on one of Grant’s group dates. Okay. Well, the people on the group date, not that we didn’t know this, this isn’t earth shattering news yet again, but we all know anytime there’s signs in an audience, those signs are made by production and they just hand them to the people in the audience and cheer.
I just thought it was funny that one of the signs in the audience yesterday said, let’s go Ellie. And her name is Ella. So the producers didn’t even know the name of a contestant who ended up going home this episode. Shocker. Do you think they would have misspelled Giuliana’s name? You think they would have misspelled Latiya’s name or Zoe’s or Dina’s?
Probably not. I just thought that was funny. And yeah, we know signs, the tell all shows the after the final row shows, anybody that’s in the audience with a sign, it’s because the producer made it and gave it to them. I want to talk about. Alexis’s date, because I don’t remember, especially in episode two, that we’ve ever had such an insignificant, boring, unoriginal, and short one on one.
This is the first one on one of the season. The first time in the history of the show, they said, Hey, if you get the first impression rose, you get the first one on one of the season. And everyone thought, Ooh, what a big advantage. Did you watch that date last night? When that date started on my DVR, it said seven minutes and 49 seconds.
When that date ended, it was seven, not seven minutes, 49 seconds. It was seven 49 on the clock, on my DVR, on the green bar down below seven 49. When that date ended, it was seven 58. She didn’t even get a commercial break during her one on one. It was just nine straight minutes. The other thing she didn’t have was.
A day portion. First one on one of the season. You get a day portion, then you change. You have nighttime dinner. You open up, you talk. It was show up at the mall, run around, bike around, then he’s going to play the piano for you. And then you’re going to dance. That was it. Literally one of the, I mean, they hype up this, get the first impression Rose, get the first one on one, literally the worst first one on one I’ve ever seen in the history of this show.
She must have felt, felt so slighted. You know why? Because now we know next week’s one on one, the second one on one of the season goes to Carol Nina. And she gets a fucking private jet to Vegas for the day. And Alexis or Alexa, Alex, what am I calling her? Alexi. I probably butchered her name. Alex gets nine minutes at the mall.
Just, Oh my gosh. What a rip off. Sorry, Alex boy, did they not really give two shits about your date? And yet there she is during the date in an ITM saying, this is the best date I’ve ever been on. I don’t want to insult any of your ex boyfriends, Alex, but if that was the best date you’ve ever been on. Holy shit.
I don’t want to know where your exes took you. Subway, Carl’s jr. What, where did they take you? If that was the best date of your life, today’s podcast also brought to you by Rula, finding a therapist. You shouldn’t, you trust shouldn’t be so complicated, right? And it shouldn’t cost you a ton.
