You are listening to the daily Roundup. Here is part of the reality Steve Podcast. I’m your host reality. Steve, thank you all for tuning in on this Monday. Good show for you. Got an update from Bachelor in Paradise on something that got out over the weekend. I’ve got a headline from US Weekly that is a little bit head scratching and I’ll tell you why.
Holly Madison, the former ex-wife, girlfriend of half. She was a girlfriend, right? I don’t think she married him. She has a boyfriend that she outed. Ex-boyfriend that she outed on social media yesterday for cheating, and then all the women started flooding in. We’ll talk about that. We’ll talk about American Idol going down to their Final Five last night as well, and we’ll get to all that momentarily.
So, bachelor in Paradise started filming last Saturday, which was, what was the date last Saturday? It was. Right. Yeah. So it started filming last Saturday the third, and for a whole week, absolutely nothing got out, no spoilers anywhere. I haven’t heard anything. And we just did not know what was going on.
I had given you a list of 14 or 15 contestants that I, I figured were going to be there at some point this season that didn’t include any of the goldens. And we finally have something. On a Facebook post over the weekend, somebody had a video and posted it to Facebook of one of the dates, and in that video there was a bunch of people there, younger women, younger men, golden women, golden men.
So we still don’t really know what the format of this season is in terms of how they are doing the dates because. It seems like a lot of people were on this date, at least 12 or 13, but we have no idea what that means. Were other people still back at the resort or what? We just don’t know because this is the first thing that got out.
The main thing to take from it is there are five men that you can see in the video very clearly, and they are. Jonathan, which we knew would be on the show, Andrew, which we knew would be on the show. I told you Spencer Conley was going to be on the show, and there are two guys, Jeremy, who was on gen season, finished fourth.
There was rumors that he wasn’t going to do it, but that there are rumors that he was he is there. And then the biggest surprise that I had, I didn’t know about until this video came out was Dale Moss. Is there. Dale, obviously being the ex-fiance of Claire, he was there on this date. Now there were women on this date.
Kat Izzo told you she was gonna be on the show. Jess Edwards told you about her. Parisa was there. Jill Chin was there. She was on what, two seasons ago I believe? Or was it last? It was two seasons ago. And those are the four that I was able to recognize in that video. And then in terms of older women, golden women, Leslie was there.
I believe Kathy was there. And then we saw Gary, Keith and I believe Jack. So there were others there. Sometimes it was just a little bit hard to make out everybody, but. The biggest thing to come from that video is the fact that Dale Moss is on this season of Paradise, which we’re hearing now for the first time and getting confirmation of it.
So the video was removed from Facebook because somebody had emailed it to me and said, I saw this on Facebook today. And then I said, well, what Facebook page did you to find it on? And they went back to look and it was gone. So can’t post it. I’m sure it’s out there somewhere. But again, while we now have confirmation of some people, there isn’t anybody outside of Dale there that is like, oh my gosh, I can’t believe they’re on the show because most of those names I had told you I expected them to be on at some point this season.
Jonathan, Andrew, Spencer, Kat, Jess, Parisa, I, those are all there. Now. The other thing I said, we don’t know. Are these the only people left on the show that were on this date that we’re seeing? It doesn’t seem like it. Why are the goldens and both there at the same time? It looked like it might’ve been a celebration for Gary because there was a dance going on, and Gary got out of a car and started dancing with them.
Everyone else in the cast kind of walked up and watched all these people dancing. And then Gary pulled up in a car and got out and immediately started dancing with them. So maybe it was, who knows, maybe it was Gary’s birthday or something and they all showed up for Gary’s birthday. It certainly wasn’t a group date.
Nobody that was standing around was holding hands or anything like that. So we don’t even know who’s really coupled up with who. So still a lot out there, and it’s only been filming for a week and a couple days, so. Again, you’re gonna get your spoilers at some point, so no need to worry that. Oh my gosh, we’re a week in and we haven’t heard anything.
I don’t think that’s that big of a deal. I think one of the big things is. And I, I hear this every season when it comes to paradise, and yes, people are yearning for paradise because number one, we don’t have a bachelorette. And number two, we didn’t have a Bachelor in Paradise last year. So yes, there’s a yearning for it.
Like, oh my God, I can’t wait to see this season, but I just wanna temper expectations. I’m not gonna sit here and say. Bachelor in Paradise isn’t gonna be good. I’m just here to tell you it’s going to be the same exact thing that we’ve seen for nine seasons. I, what’s gonna be different? What can you possibly see this season that’s going to be, oh my gosh, we’ve never seen that on Paradise before.
You’re gonna see people date, you’re gonna see people meltdown. You’re gonna be see someone having to make a choice between two guys or even three guys, or one woman or two women. I mean, the only thing different is location and the goldens are there, but in terms of storyline, like, okay, Dale Moss is there.
Nobody expected him there. Great. Exactly. What is Dale Moss gonna do that’s going to light this show on fire? And oh my gosh, I cannot believe that happened on Paradise. I guarantee Dale’s probably got a couple of women that are interested in him. He’s gotta choose between one of them. Or choose between the both of them.
Like what? What could possibly happen? They had a season fucking shut down and they sent people home because there was some inappropriate behavior from two contestants on this show. I don’t think they’re topping that, like what is possibly going to happen. That’s what I say, let’s temper expectations, because having covered this every single season, like I have.
I know what happens. Everybody gets so excited. Oh my God, I can’t wait to see Paradise. It’s so hot and messy. And then the second it starts and we’re like six or seven episodes in, you’re like, oh my gosh. It’s the same thing every season. Oh my gosh, there’s so much drama. All they do is focus on the drama.
I guarantee we’re gonna get that this season because I’ve heard it for nine seasons. So. So yeah, we saw the cast and you know, of those people that I named, Jonathan, Jeremy, Andrew Spencer, Dale, Kat, Jess Parisa, Jill Chin. Are you doing backflips over that cast? I’m sure it’s gonna be a good show, a good fun summer show, but how it’s not gonna be like over the top, holy shit.
Like people are trying to promote it as including the Bachelor Paradise Instagram page, which is getting random quotes from magazines or websites that are claiming this is gonna be the greatest season ever. Based on what I know, we don’t have any spoilers yet, but. How is it gonna be any different from the first nine seasons where there’s drama and people like more than one person and they can’t decide and they’re crying and they melt down?
I mean, I don’t know. I’m just saying temper expectations because it’s pretty much gonna be the same across the board. It’s going to be the same thing that we’ve seen for nine seasons. Same type of drama. Gonna be engagements at the end, gonna be breakups at the end. I just don’t know how that’s really any different than anything else.
Something that I thought was interesting was yesterday, US Weekly posted a headline story that said, Kat Izzo to return to Bachelor in Paradise for season 10. After John Henry engagement exclusive. In a surprising plot, twist, Kat Izzo is returning to Paradise. That’s the first sentence of the story. Okay.
I understand that US Weekly really doesn’t like to credit me for anything. Oh, except when I mentioned that I had rose on my cast list, and they obviously put that in there. But how? How about in a surprising plot twist? Not really. A week ago, I told you Kat Izzo was going on the show. Neither here nor there, but then the next sentence starts out, A source exclusively tells us weekly that cat will be in Costa Rica.
Looking for the one on season 10 of the spinoff. Okay. This story was written by Sarah Herron, not the former, not the Sarah Herron that was on Sean Lowe’s season, but Sarah Herron, a reporter for US Weekly, and I. I’ve got no problem with Sarah Herron. I’ve spoken to her in the past. What’s interesting about this story though, is Sarah Herron is in Costa Rica or was in Costa Rica.
She was one of the people that they allowed to go out there and do interviews that will air once the show is airing. So for Sarah Herron to write a story and then say Source exclusively tells us weekly that Kat will be in Costa Rica. It’s like there is no source. She’s the source. She’s there. Or was there, she’s seen the cast.
What kind of breaking news exclusive is this? It’s just the way it’s worded just seems really weird. And it’s not like Sarah Herron has hidden the fact, like if nobody knew that Sarah Herron was there, then would this, then this would make sense because nobody would know that she was there and saw the cast.
But she’s reported that she was there. I’ve seen tiktoks or Instagram story, one of the two. It was either TikTok or Instagram story talking about that she was there down in Costa Rica. So for a source to exclusively tell us weekly that Kat Izzo on the show, number one, we’ve known that for over a week.
And number two, what? What? Why don’t you just say you’re the source? I was, why? Why can’t you just say, I’m in Costa Rica? Kat Izo is here. I dunno. That’s what I said. It’s just a, it’s a headline that’s very confusing to me. I don’t get it. I don’t know why. I don’t know why it was written that way. I guess they have to pretend like they’re breaking a story that wasn’t really exclusive, nor was it breaking either way.
Maybe stuff, maybe more stuff will get out, probably a couple more weeks left of filming and then, you know, I’ll let you know when I hear anything more. This podcast brought to you by Factor.
