You are listening to the Daily Roundup here as part of the Reality Steve Podcast. I am your host reality. Steve, thank you all for tuning in on this Tuesday. Got a good show for you today. We’re gonna talk a little bit about Bachelor in Paradise. Not that I have any more clues to give you, but we’ll talk about some things that I think you might find a little bit different about this upcoming season of Paradise.
Also, we’re gonna talk about Grant, who went on an Instagram Live the other day and revealed a few things. You knew I had to talk about this story, sensei John Crease from the Karate Kid lore. Actor Martin Cove apparently likes to bite women. Bizarre, bizarre story out of Washington from this past weekend and coming up starting next week, I’ve got a string of summer movies that I have to go see.
Can’t wait for this. I’ll tell you all about it. We’ll get to all that momentarily. So as we are approaching the season premier of Bachelor in Paradise starts Monday, July 7th. I haven’t really given anything out and I did give a clue the Tom Brady clue. You will know shortly enough what that means. And like I said, it’s not a major deal.
Don’t read too much into it. It’s pretty basic, pretty simple, but it’s something about this season, a portion, a part of this season. I think it’s pretty interesting, and I’ll explain why when I tell you what the time Birdie clue means, but it’s not gonna be much longer, and as I’ve kind of said, every season when it comes to this, when it comes to any season, bachelor, bachelorette, bachelor in Paradise, it’s just one of these deals where I never know when I’m gonna get information.
I never know where it’s coming from. I have no idea. But eventually I’m gonna get around to getting it and you’re gonna get your spoilers. And with the influx of Instagram pages out there, and a lot of people that cover this show now, it’s not very hard to hear things here and there like other places. I know it happens.
There’s nothing I can do about that. But the thing that I try and explain every season and what I do is. I give you a full rundown of what you’re gonna get. Like I know there’s already stuff out there about Bachelor in Paradise. Some of it’s right, some of it’s wrong. But again, nobody’s gonna have what? I have nobody for the last 16 years, nobody’s had what I’ve had.
So just be patient. You’ll get everything you want, you’ll get everything you need. And I think, you know, based on what I’ve heard. I really do think there, there’s a couple things that factor here and I don’t wanna give too much away,
Before I give you everything, but there’s a couple things at play here that are, that are different in regards to Bachelor in Paradise Number one.
I think visually it’s going to look different and not because of. The location. Clearly they’re in Costa Rica instead of Mexico, where they were for the first nine seasons. They’re in Costa Rica. Completely different resort. But if you’ve noticed, when you’ve been watching the trailers for this season, if you noticed there is a lot of,
what is it called on your iPhone portrait photo where? When you take a picture, let’s just say you take a selfie, you are perfectly clear and everything are behind you is kind of blurry, so you’re the focus of the picture. If you’ve noticed in the trailers, when they’ve shown people in ITMs, whether it’s like Bailey or Ka, or Jonathan or somebody else, if you’ve noticed, those people are in portrait mode.
And this is just a, a vi a visual thing. I’m just telling you the show’s gonna look different than it ever has before. And this was done on purpose. I think what they’re trying to do, which smart of them, they gotta keep up with the streaming services and they’re dating shows that are getting, that are just so much more popular than them right now.
The. Love island stuff. The stuff the other dating shows on Netflix. Go back and watch the trailers. You can just go on Bachelor Paradise Instagram account. You’ll notice that a lot of those ITMs are in portrait mode, where the person that we’re seeing in the ITM, they’re in focus and they’re in 4K or. Hd, but everything behind them is kind of blurry or out of focus.
They’ve never done that before. So visually it’s going to look different, which I think is a good thing for this show. It seems like it’s almost taken them a little bit too long, but they finally did something. The other thing, I guess, to look for this season and to expect is. It’s going to be a little bit different.
This isn’t going to be the Bachelor in Paradise that we’ve known for nine seasons. However, this is the part that I don’t know exactly why yet, and I don’t know if I’m gonna know it by the time I give you the spoilers. If I don’t, I’m actually fine with it because. I do have a guess to what it is based on the information that I have so far.
I know that sounds a little wonky. I know that sounds a little like, what are you talking about? It’ll make a little more sense when you see the spoilers, but just be prepared that everything you thought about Bachelor in Paradise, that what we’ve thought for nine seasons.
There’s a lot of the same elements. Absolutely a lot of the same elements that we’ve seen for nine seasons, but there’s also a couple big differences, so get ready for that. It’s the best way I can put it, but you’ll have all your stuff soon enough. I’ll let you know when that’s coming. Alright. Let’s talk about.
Grant. Grant did an Instagram live the other night and was taking questions and just kinda saying things. He was, he was revealing some stuff, but he was also taking questions and in his answers we found out some things. Number one, I, I think it’s funny because US Weekly did an article on Grant’s Live.
Did an article on what Grant kind of said some of the things that he said in his live. And the first sentence of their story or second sentence says, US Weekly can confirm that Grant and Juliana no longer follow each other on Instagram. It is unclear when they decided to stop keeping tabs on each other online.
What do you mean? US Weekly can confirm, can’t anybody with two eyes who takes, I don’t know, 20 seconds out of their day, just go to grant’s Instagram page, look at followers, type in Juliana’s name, see that it’s not there. Then go to Juliana’s Instagram profile, go to followers or following, sorry, start typing in grant’s name and see that he’s not there.
Like what do you mean? You can confirm.
Okay. I. Whatever. Clearly it’s been within the last week, you know, probably since the breakup at some point they both unfall to each other. I, I don’t think that’s that big of a deal. It’s almost kind of expected, right? So on his Instagram live that he did on Sunday night, grant was asked if he and Juliana still talk and he said, no, we don’t really talk like that while answering another question.
He said, why did I break up with Juliana? I didn’t break up with anybody noting he’s not heartbroken and life goes on. He clarified apparently later in the Instagram live that it was a mutual split. Makes sense. He also noted that they just, that him and Juliana just wasn’t for each other, so that makes sense.
On a mutual split. They both realized they weren’t the other person’s person, so they split. He said he would not, I repeat, he would not be open to being cast on Bachelor in Paradise, which he wasn’t. Well, at least this season he wasn’t. I mean, I guess a year from now, could he change his mind? It’s possible, but he said he is not gonna be open to it and he’s not actively dating.
When someone asked him about reuniting with any of his exes from his season, any of the women from his season, he said, I don’t rekindle. I move forward. I would not get back with anybody from my past. Life is best when you move forward, not backward. Said, didn’t regret being on the show, said he learned a lot about himself and it was like therapy for him.
So the other thing that he mentioned, which I thought was interesting. I might have the wording wrong on this, but he said he was in talks with Dancing with the Stars. I don’t know if that means they just gauged his interest, which he said he would definitely be interested in being on Dance With the Stars, or he’s in like, they talk to a lot of people, so I don’t know what level he’s at with Dancing With the Stars.
He would have to answer that for himself if he wants to, but. He says he would be interested in doing it, so it looks like he’s at least been reached out to. But we all know they reach out to a ton of people and they only end up casting what, 1516 usually. So we have no idea what that really means, and only Grant knows.
But he did address that on his Instagram live, so not a ton there. I guess the one thing we found out is him saying he didn’t break up with her. It was mutual. I guess that’s new. But remember when the breakups happened and they each released their statement and I said, look, one of these two, if not both of them at some point are going to talk.
It’s impossible for these people not to. They’re going to talk ’cause they’re want to get their stuff out there. They want to tell their side. There’s no way nobody ever breaks up on this show, especially a main couple from Bachelor Bachelorette, and then just never talks about it. It’s been less than a week, and Grant went live and started revealing, you know, small things here and there.
He’s gonna do a podcast with somebody. I, I gotta believe he’s going to, it might not even be a Bachelor Nation one. He might do a podcast with, like a wellness coach or something like that, and just talk about his time on the show and what happened in his relationship. It could be a, a relationship podcast, who knows?
It doesn’t necessarily have to be Bachelor Nation, but. I don’t think anybody’s surprised. I told you this was coming. Took him less than a week to start saying stuff, and it’s not like he threw her under the bus or anything. He didn’t say anything bad about her at all. But like I said, at the time, these people are going to talk.
At some point we’ll find out more details, and it might not even be messy details, but details that we don’t know because when they released both of their statements, their statements were pretty generic. And it’s just like, yeah, it just wasn’t for me, you know? But people do want to know how many, during the three months, you know, they finale, aired in March and they break up in June.
During those three months, how many times did they see each other? Did they make an effort? Did she try and come see him? Did he try and come see her? At what point did you realize. Well, this isn’t my person. Was it through just the way you guys communicated, the way you guys texted, the way you guys talked on the phone, the way you guys FaceTimed when you were in person, did you realize, okay, we’re not for each other, and look that it might just only be generic surface level answers to those questions.
It doesn’t necessarily mean we’re gonna get a deep dive into why Grant doesn’t think Juliana is his person and vice versa. We might never get that and that’s fine. They don’t owe us anything. But considering it’s been less than a week and we’ve already gotten Grant going live and telling us something that we didn’t even know already.
Oh, he didn’t bring up with her. It was mutual. Okay. So I think there’s gonna be more stuff coming. And like I said, it doesn’t mean it’s gonna be messy. It doesn’t mean it’s gonna be tea. It just could mean this is what happened. This is where we realized our relationship wasn’t gonna go any further than what it did.
So be on the lookout for that. It’s coming.
