Let’s talk a little Survivor, and not necessarily this season, which starts tonight, season 48, can’t wait. Love Survivor, my favorite reality show of all time, always has been, and always will be. But did you see what Jeff Probst announced over the weekend? He basically said, during all of season 48, The public, us, the viewers are going to be allowed to vote on certain aspects of the game that will be implemented in season 50, which we know is their big season where they’re bringing back all returners, but they want to make it special.
We’re going to be allowed to vote on things like, do you want fire making at the final four? Do you want idols to be taken out of the game? Do you want. You know, advantages versus idols, stuff like that. There’s all sorts of things that we’re gonna be able to be vote on and it will be implemented in the game.
The one thing I wish we could vote on was, Hey, can we go back to 39 days? But apparently that’s not going to be one of them, but the stuff that people have complained about over the years, we’re going to be able to vote on it. Oh yeah. One of them is going to be, do you want the reunion show out there or do you want to go to a live finale?
My guess it’ll be 99%. People vote for a live finale again, and maybe 1 percent says, yeah, I keep the finale out there right after they end the game. And I just, it’s been the, one of the worst changes they’ve made to the game. I get they’re doing it for purposes of time saving and money saving, but. It’s it’s to me, it’s ruined everything, not everything, but it’s ruined a lot about this game.
The live finale was so much fun. I didn’t like when Jeff probes goes into the audience and talks to former contestants. Let’s just deal with this season. Let’s read the votes live. Let’s talk to the cast. And go from there. At least I have a feeling we’re going to get a live finale for 50, because there’s no way I I’d be stunned if the audience votes to keep the reunion show out there.
Okay. Couple of things in regards to love is blind. First off, I want to bring something up about Dave and Lauren. Lauren has posted some things on social media to clarify some stuff. She has posted a couple of Instagram stories and in one of the Instagram stories, she said that since the show aired that.
She was cast six days before the season started taping. So the whole friends with benefits thing that she had going on was before she even knew she was going on the show, obviously she was in talks. She didn’t start talks six days before, but she wasn’t cast until six days before. So yes. If you’re going, let’s just say she started two months earlier, like that whole time that she was having friends with benefits with that guy.
Let’s just say that whole time she was in talks with love is blind. Well, Hey, she doesn’t know if she’s going to get cast. So what’s she going to do? Not have fun, not choose to date like a normal human being. So the fact that we now know that she got cast six days before she left for filming puts that friends with benefits issue to rest with it should with Dave.
But as I said, and as a lot of people are saying with Dave. You can tell Dave wants her, he’s gonna throw this back in her face so she’ll break up with him and he doesn’t look like the bad guy. That’s exactly what he’s doing here, you can’t convince me otherwise. The other thing that she said was the comment about getting a bikini wax.
Remember when she was saying that to Dave and she said I got a bikini wax and She, she said, I got a bikini wax and I can’t have sex or workout within 24 hours. And she said, and I was bummed because I had to cancel a spin class that night. Not because she couldn’t have sex. So she said, I literally don’t even talk like this.
I was so confused. Netflix. I love you, but you did me dirty here. Count your days. Well, they already filmed the reunion show. I think the reunion show filmed Thursday or Friday of last week. So we get what episodes 10 and 11 this Friday, and then 12 the following Friday, and then I don’t know when the reunion show airs, but that’s what we’re getting.
I just wanted to point that out. The other big thing coming out of love is blind is the information coming out about Alex Brown. Alex is the one who was with Mason. I would not mess with Madison. Remember, Madison basically dumped Mason so she could be in a boyfriend girlfriend relationship with Alex, and then they just ended up breaking up.
Well, Story Time with Rikki, Rikki Wise, who I think is going to be this Thursday’s podcast after what I saw her post last night. There’s a lot to go over, and it’d take me forever to explain it. It’s something that, it would take me 10 to 15 minutes to go over everything she said. She put it up, it’s on Story Time with Rikki.
On her Instagram account, listen to the two videos that she made. They’re both, I don’t know the time on it, but they were both at least over five minutes. And she has receipts, receipts up the wazoo of Alex and past behavior, and it is not good. Now you might say, Steve, Alex isn’t on the show anymore, what do we care?
It goes more along the lines of, Hey, maybe they should do a little bigger, dig a little tougher, digging a little better vetting of their contestants. Cause what if this guy would have gotten engaged to Madison? Oh boy. Anyway, the other thing I want to get to, I have been promoting it. Since it started, I told you I don’t steer you wrong when it comes to television shows.
I don’t really recommend a lot because I pretty much watch the same shows and new shows that come out I don’t really usually get into. But because I was such a fan of This Is Us, I knew I was gonna like Paradise because it was created by the same guy, Dan Fogelman. And Sterling K. Brown is in it.
Excellent, excellent actor. So Paradise just had their 7th episode yesterday. It’s only an 8 episode season. Next week is the season finale. If you are not watching this show, go watch it. Just go watch it. It’s got mystery. It’s got intrigue. It’s got easter eggs throughout the episode It ends every episode ends with a cliffhanger where you’re like, oh It is Awesome and episode 7 I said last week episode 6 was the best episode of the season Episode 7 was really good and explained a lot.
I don’t think I have too many questions coming out of episode 7 A few, but they answered a lot in episode seven. So go check it out. Hulu paradise is the name of the show. Excellent. Excellent show. I’ve had a few of you already emailed me yesterday and say, Oh my gosh, episode seven was unreal. It was great.
Great, great episode. I also want to end with this. Have you seen the latest from Olive Garden? Just out of curiosity, my friend sent me this and I didn’t know this. I don’t know when it started. It must’ve been recent. I tried Googling to see if they did a nationwide press release about this, but they didn’t.
So maybe I’m a month behind or two months behind. I think it’s fairly new because I think I would have heard about this or seen this earlier. Olive Garden now delivers not, Hey, we’re having a corporate event and can you cater it? And can you cater it and deliver all your food to us? No, no, no, no, no. They literally have a delivery service now where somebody will drive it to your house.
Oh boy. That’s, that’s going to be trouble because now, because the closest Olive Garden to me, honestly, is 15 minutes away. It’s not like it’s down the street. I had to drive a little bit. It’s about six miles away from me. Doesn’t stop me from going, but. Now that I know it delivers, yes, I’m going to have a delivery fee.
I’m also going to have a tip that I’m going to have to give. So, it’s going to cost me more than if I were to just drive and go sit down and eat there. So, I’m saying probably four out of every five times I eat at Olive Garden going forward will probably be me driving there and sitting down and eating.
But, I guarantee I’m going to get this thing delivered at one time because I’m just not going to want to get in my car and leave. Maybe on a cold day, maybe on a rainy day, but the fact that all of garden delivers now. Mwah! Chef’s kiss. Anyway, thank you all for listening. Really appreciate it. Follow me on Apple Podcasts.
