The Valley episode nine aired last night, and I have a bone to pick. Not with the show, not with any of the cast members on the show. With my DBR, it’s recorded.
I mean, I set it at the beginning of the season to record the series. Every time a new episode of the Valley comes on, it automatically records. So I sit down at my TV at like 7 0 1 last night, and I notice that the little, little red light is not on. And nothing is recording. So I was like, oh, maybe the valley goes on at eight tonight.
Which it did for the first six episodes or seven episodes. And then that New York Gen YC or whatever that show is is now airing right after the valley. Before that had been the post valley show. The valley was on at eight central, followed by 30 minutes of watch what happens Live well. I sat down to watch.
I turn on channel, I turn on the Bravo, and it’s like the episode has already started and it’s not recording. I was like, that’s weird. And then I go to my list of series recordings, all the shows that I’m recording the series of, it’s not showing that the Valley is still recording as a series. What the hell is going on DirecTV?
That was really bothersome, but I’m glad I turned it on or else I wouldn’t have been able to watch it last night. So. There are a few major plot points from last night’s episode. Number one, Scrotox. Never heard of it. I’ve heard of every possible plastic surgery you can get as a man or a woman. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of Scrotox, which is Botox for your scrotum, and, and
Danny was trying to be talked into getting it. Zach and he couldn’t be talked into it, but Zach got it. This seems like one of the most insignificant and irrelevant plastic surgeries you can get. Really? Why? I, I, they tried to explain it on the show. I still don’t understand what the appeal of, of that would be, but apparently Zach’s gotten scro talks.
One of the other major storylines from last night was Brittany filing for her divorce from Jax one day before he got outta rehab and she threw a party two days before he got outta rehab at her house that had a lot of McDonald’s and Domino’s, which is my type of party. But she also had a party thrown for her at Jax by the friend group.
Where they covered up Jack’s name and called it Brits and all had t-shirts in the Black Jack’s T-shirt, but had Brits there. The thing about Brittany that was disheartening to hear, I. And look, I’m not, I, I understand. This is a woman that was with him for how many every year? 14 years. They were married for 10.
They’ve got a child. I understand that she has a son with this man, but you can’t tell me. You don’t sit there and shake your head when she says things like, I still love this guy. I understand where it’s coming from. Don’t think I’m not ignorant to be like, Steve, you don’t understand. You’ve never been married, never been with somebody for 14 years.
No, I haven’t. I understand what you’re gonna say. It’s not saying she’s in love with him and wants to be with him, but she still loves this guy. It is just kind of a head scratcher because she still openly admits all the horrible things about him and all the horrible things that he does to her. How he talks to her, how he treats her, how he’s left her with a giant bill on their mortgage, on their home, how much he’s lied to her, his cheating on her in the past.
I dunno. Just to hear her say that she still loves that guy is, is, is disappointing to hear. It’s her life. What does it matter what podcast or reality Steve says and what he thinks. But I’m, I, I’m guessing people that have followed this show and followed that couple more closely than I have over the years.
I’m sure you’re feeling the same way, right? Like, aren’t you kind of yelling at Brittany? Brittany, you’ve gotta get over this guy. And I think she is over him because she has moved on. We know that she started hooking up with one of their friends after they separated and now she’s with a, a new dude. So, yeah, it seems like she has moved on in a certain way, but I, it’s just, it’s just frustrating to hear her say that.
’cause then you feel like she hasn’t made any progress. Steve, she filed for divorce. She wants to divorce him. Yeah. That seems to be progress, but it’s almost like I, I still have this fear in the back of my head. Not that I should have any fear since. I don’t know Brittany and Brittany’s not gonna listen anything I say.
But if, and this is a giant if, ’cause I don’t believe it’ll ever happen, but let’s just say it did. Jack’s completely turned his life around and did a 180 and did everything he can to win Britney back. I still think there’s a part of her that would take him back after everything that he is done. I think she would, no matter what she said because, and I only say that because I’ve heard that from so many people in the reality TV world.
Heard it from people in Bachelor Nation that have told me in private, ugh, would never do this, would never do that. And then they do hell, let’s go back to the beginning of this podcast. He didn’t tell me personally, but Sam McKinney made it pretty clear he wanted nothing to do with this franchise anymore, and they call him for Bachelor in Paradise.
He’s like, where do I sign? So that’s what I’m saying. His is obviously a little more extreme or less extreme than Brittany, but you know what I’m saying? I’ve just seen it so many times. I just, I don’t know. I just have a hard time believing people on reality tv. When they say things that they claim to be so staunch about?
Now, here’s the thing. As I just said, I don’t think that Jax is ever going to come groveling back to Britney. I don’t think he’s ever gonna do a 180 and turn his life around. I think he is who he is. It’d be nice if he did, but I just don’t see it. He’s had ample opportunity to, up to this point. Yes. He is no longer a drug addict.
He’s apparently six months sober. Good for him. You don’t want him to fall off the wagon. But even during this six months of sobriety, we have heard Brittany says, we have heard Brittany say, he says he’s sober, but I’m still getting the same behavior from him. So that’s why it’s hard to believe. But. There still is a part of me that on the point, 1% chance that Jax does turn his life around and realizes he let a good thing go in Brittany and begs and pleads and grovel and does everything he can to win her back.
I have a hard time believing she would turn him down and a lot of it probably has to do with the fact that she doesn’t want a broken family and she doesn’t want to, you know, they have a. Three or 4-year-old son, and she doesn’t wanna split up the family and doesn’t want to have these, you know, visitation things and dual houses and putting crews through all that.
I get it, but it doesn’t mean it’s healthy. And then finally the other storyline was Danny’s drinking. And the editors made us, made it clear to us that. Let’s show you at different points of the night what Danny was drinking. And clearly when he jumped into that conversation that Kristen and Luke were having with Jason and Janet, Danny was hammered.
It was so obvious he was hammered, how he was talking, what he was saying. He wasn’t even being called on to talk and he was just butting in. It was clear he was drinking. And we saw this in the trailer for the season, that Danny’s storyline this season is gonna be all about. Well, does he have a problem? I don’t know if Danny has a problem or not.
All I do know is in that scene last night, he was hammered and yeah, it was smart of Nia to say, you know what? Let’s get outta here. This isn’t going anywhere. You’re only gonna piss people off. And Danny couldn’t, it seemed like Danny couldn’t see exactly how he was coming across to everybody. So. Good on Nia for getting him outta there.
All right. I want to end with a couple short stories or short notes in the entertainment world. Did you see who got divorced after 21 years of marriage yesterday? Scott Wolf and his wife Kelly, which was obviously, I know nothing about their relationship. I knew they were together, but it just brings me back to the time where 21 years ago.
Scott Wolf was one of the hot young actors in Hollywood, and it was just so random when we all found out, Hey, Scott Wolf is dating Kelly from Real World New Orleans. Like, I don’t think Kelly had any acting aspirations or she had done any acting. I don’t even know how Scott Wolf met her. Did he just watch real word New Orleans and, and reach out to her?
It was just so random nowadays. I mean, you got people like Wells married to Sarah Highland, Ben Flack dated Jennifer Love Hewitt ’cause she saw him on The Bachelor. So yeah, it’s not as farfetched nowadays, but 21, 22 years ago when these two first got together, it was so bizarre. That’s Scott Wolf on a hot TV show.
Party of Five just started dating some girl from real world New Orleans, totally random. Sorry to see that they got divorced. They’ve got, I believe, three kids and she released a statement yesterday. Very cagey. Wasn’t really the most forthcoming, but she doesn’t need to be. She doesn’t need to share with us why they got divorced.
She was very complimentary of Scott. It just based on what she said, she never went after him. She never even made a snide remark about why things ended between them. If anything, it seems like she was still in. She’s still in love with him, and he was the one that ended it. Just based off of her statement.
I could be totally wrong. But she was very, very complimentary of somebody who literally is just now getting a divorce from her husband of 21 years. Usually you would say something to where you wouldn’t even acknowledge the other person. You would just say, we’ve decided to go our separate ways. Things happen in life, yada, yada, yada.
But she just laid it on thick of what a great daddy was, what a great husband he was, and it’s just like, okay, if he’s so great, why are you guys getting divorced after 21 years? Look, there are other reasons. Clearly I know nothing about their marriage. I’m just saying I’ve seen breakup statements where one side was not nearly as complimentary as Kelly was towards Scott.
So from that it does seem like he may have blindsided her ’cause that didn’t sound like two people that were mutually. Not excited, but mutually like, yes, we don’t need to be together anymore. She sounded a little heartbroken and sounded like she was still in love with him. And finally, I saw this on my Twitter timeline and I don’t even know where the interview was from, and I don’t know when it took place, but we all know the Sherri Papini story, the woman who faked getting abducted, right.
Something popped up on my Twitter timeline yesterday that was an interview with Shaheen from this past season of Survivor, but I’m pretty sure this interviewed, this interview aired well before Shaheen was ever a contestant on Survivor. It seemed like an older interview. He did have the full beard going, but I don’t think this was any time recent.
It very well could have been, and I probably should have saved the video to try and see what, when this was from either way. Shaheen said in the video, he dated Sherri Papini when she was 20 and he was 15. Like, what? Maybe people in the survivor world already knew this, or maybe this interview just got out yesterday.
I don’t know. But that was so random to me that Shaheen dated Sherri Papini as an underage boy, and she was 20. And if I remember correctly, it started at like, he met her at camp. She was like a camp counselor or something. I could be wrong on that, but I’m not wrong on the fact that Shaheen admitted he dated Sherri Papini.
So maybe this interview was done once she became national news. I don’t think it was part of her documentary, but it was just so random. Maybe just as random as Scott Wolf getting with some girl from real World’s New Orleans. But Holy Shaheen and Sherri Papini, you could have given me one gazillion guesses and said, Hey, who do you think Sherri Papini dated back in her twenties?
I wouldn’t have guessed Shaheen. Just random. Anyway. Thank you all for listening. Really appreciate it. Follow me on Apple Podcasts. Also, rate and review, but you gotta hit play.
