You are listening to the Daily Roundup here as part of the Reality. Steve Podcast, I’m your host reality. Steve, thank you all for tuning in on this Wednesday. A good show for you today. We obviously on Wednesdays, what do we do? We go over the valley from the previous night, episode 11 last night, which I think is gonna be the first of probably three episodes in Hawaii, although they didn’t get to Hawaii till the last 10 minutes of the episode.
So that’s why I think next episode will all be Hawaii, and probably another episode will probably be in Hawaii as well. So we will talk about the Valley a little bit more on Bachelor in Paradise and then this Eric Dane story, not the unfortunate news that he is now suffering from a LS. It’s what’s come out since then.
I’m so confused on his love life, apparently so was one of the women he was supposed to be with, and we will get to all that momentarily. Let’s jump into it and let’s discuss what happened on the Valley last night, episode 11. What was interesting is usually on a night the Valley airs, they will always have somebody from the Valley show on watch what happens live.
But last night they had the ham sisters on watch what Happens Live. So if they talked any valley stuff, I didn’t see it. I just looked at the guide, saw it wasn’t anybody from the Valley on watch what happens live. So I was like, okay, don’t need to watch it. So the first thing I want to do is bring up something that I saw on social media.
And yet, I don’t know when Sheena said this, Sheena was on a podcast talking about Jesse. And she really went after Jesse Hard, and it was because the story being that, as we know, either during filming last summer or right after filming, Michelle’s mother passed away. We found out during the season, I think it was last episode, Michelle, talking about how sick her mother was.
Well, Sheena relays a story on a podcast saying that. Michelle had Isabella. It was her time to watch Isabella, and she needed time to grieve her mother. And she asked Jesse if he would take Isabella during that time and Jesse said no. Which total dick move. Like, come on dude. I know you hate Michelle, but her mother just died.
Maybe give her a little bit of grace. Take her daughter off her hands for her for, I don’t know, a day or two, however long. If she asked you to watch Isabella for four days what’s the big deal? You are Isabella’s father. So Sheena went off on Jesse for this, however. During this, she basically said that Jesse is no worse than Jax, or he’s just as bad as Jax, and that’s where Sheena misses me with this.
Jesse can be a smarmy asshole. Jesse absolutely has said some things this year that are completely problematic, calling his ex-wife a hooker. If the story is true about him not taking Isabella, when Michelle just asked so she could go see her mother, or it was either like on the mother’s last days, or maybe it was after her mother died, but it was just, could you help me out here?
And Jesse said, no, those are all dick moves. Nobody is disputing that, but. We’re two seasons into seeing Jesse Lowy and how he acts. Jax Taylor has been on TV for 10 years. The amount of stuff that he has put Brittany through, I’m sorry, you might not like Jesse, but he isn’t anywhere in the vicinity of Jax Taylor, come on.
That’s kind of ridiculous, don’t you think? I dunno where Sheena’s getting that. And maybe Sheena just hates Jesse. It’s very possible she does, but she should have just left it as, I just don’t like that guy. I don’t wanna talk about him. I think he’s toxic. I’m glad Michelle isn’t with him. Fine to say all that stuff when you start putting him on the same playing field as jack’s.
I, I, I don’t think so at all. And even if you want to go back into Jesse and Michelle’s marriage. I don’t know much about their marriage before the Valley started, but I guarantee it wasn’t anything like Jack’s and Brittany’s marriage. No way. So, yeah, I, I would, Sheena really loses me with that. I have a question that I wanna pose to you, to everybody watching this show.
The question is this. Does Danny Buco own a pair of jeans that isn’t ripped in 15 different places? That’s all I wanna know. That’s all I want to know. I think Danny is in his late thirties, early forties, but I, I’m not saying he has to be a runway model, but his wardrobe is pretty consistent everywhere he goes.
It is ripped jeans and a solid black T-shirt. That’s it. I have, I’ve not seen ’em in anything different. Have you? Like obviously, except, you know, in Hawaii he wears a Hawaiian shirt, you know, you know what I’m talking about. But can this guy just wear a paranormal jeans? Do they have to be ripped all over the place?
Just a very to each their own Danny’s allowed to wear it, whatever he wants to wear. I just, I think the ripped jeans as a late 30, early forties guy kind of makes me cringe. Who came up with the idea to have field day. That was just, that was so random. I would rather, ’cause you know, everything on the show is orchestrated.
These people don’t go to production and say, Hey, why don’t we do this? Production says we need you guys all together. Let’s do this. And they do it. But field day, what? What was the point of that? What I would rather of them just said, Hey, we’re going, you know, make up some event that they all have to attend, make up a dinner, that they’re all going to field day with some of the most.
Literal stuff that I was in eighth grade was the stuff they were doing spinning around on the baseball bat, running with an egg on a spoon. Tug of war
if, if I’m not mistaken, weren’t those the only two activities that they showed. Everything else was just everyone talking, having side conversations. It just, it really, really fell flat. It was one. A way to get the whole group together, and two, a way to drive more of a divide between Janet and Nia. And three, to make Michelle uncomfortable by inviting Jenna, the girl that hooked up with Erin Michelle’s new boyfriend in the past.
It just felt totally outta place and really felt totally outta left field. I’ve seen them obviously come up with stuff where it’s just like, all right, we gotta figure out a way to get these two couples to hang out. Let’s do this. Let’s do Dave and Busters. Let’s have a birthday at Dave and Bu. Okay. Field day for, for 40-year-old adults.
So random. I thought the conversation between Brittany and Jax. When Jax said, Hey, I need to talk to Brittany. I’m having her meet me today. They were meeting at some lunch place and she calls him and says, not coming. He’s like, you’re not. Why not? ’cause I woke up to a bunch of texts and dms that you were out at the bar last night drinking and we’re hitting on a bunch of women.
He’s like, no, not true. I was in bed by 11. And then in his ITM, Jack says he thinks he was home by 11. I I, there’s two things at play here. Number one, if you don’t recall roughly the time that you were home, you were probably drunk. And number two, if you were probably drunk, you probably didn’t come home at 11 o’clock the night before.
So Brittany just completely cancels on him, says, I’m not meeting you. There’s no reason to, we’re not gonna get anywhere, which is they, they never get anywhere at any time for anything. These two just, you know, granted, again, just to remind everybody this was filmed 10 months ago, seems like their relationship is at least a little bit better based on what Jack said on watch what happens live last week.
I don’t think it’s great. He claims he is 200 and you know, eight or nine days sober. Now that’s great, but according to Brittany, he still talks to her the way he did when he was using. So congrats on the sobriety, but your attitude more needs to change. Your angers issues need to change just as much as the amount of drinking and drugs you are doing needs to change, which seemingly it has.
But we’re all on the outside looking in. We don’t know for sure. Do we, what’s interesting about this show, and I guess this is really no different, even though I don’t watch The Housewives show, I know what it’s pretty much all about, and I’ve said this from the beginning, people complain about drama on dating shows, and why are you showing us the drama?
Show us the love story. It’s like, come on now.
Do you really want that? If you watch The Valley, we’re now in episode 11 of season two. If you watched every episode of the Valley and every single one of those couples got along, you would call it the most boring show on television. Just like if you watched any Housewives season and every single one of those women were BFFs and got along and did everything together, and it was Kumbaya on every scene, every gala that they went to, every dinner that they went to, every house party that they went to, everybody got along.
You’d say, why am I watching this? Nothing’s happening. So with that said, these shows kind of all follow the same formula. Everybody talks shit about somebody else in the group at some point, usually might take a few episodes, but that person will end up apologizing and then, well, they were talk, start talking shit again at some point because this whole Janet and Nia thing.
Nia is saying in her ITMs, look, I, I have no, I have no interest in hanging around. Janet don’t like her coming after my husband, coming after me at the Mexican restaurant. No idea. No. You know, and then Danny and Jason make up in the pool in Hawaii. They invite the women over. And say, you know, let’s quash things.
And seemingly in the pool they quashed things. Janet apologized for being drunk at the Mexican restaurant, said she shouldn’t have raised her voice at her. Nia said, I shouldn’t have told you to fuck off, but I know, and you know, there’s no way that’s gonna last more than one or two more episodes. They’re gonna be back to talking shit about each other.
And it’s just this cycle of, I just never know what to believe when it comes to any of these people. Are they really? And that’s the other thing, are they really mad at each other? Do they really dislike the other person or do they know they have to dislike the other person? Or do they amp up the dislike because they know they’re being filmed and they know a television show needs conflict?
That’s why. Look, I like the valley. I watch it every week, but I just can’t get so invested to where I’m dissecting these people too much. Because I just never know what to believe is actually real. You know, I, I got the sense, at least last season of Vanderpump Rules that Ariana did not want to be there and didn’t want to hang out with those people anymore.
She had pretty much moved on with her life and I understood what Lala was saying when she was just like, then why are you here? What’s the point of view being here? You don’t like any of us. You don’t talk to any of us. You pretty much think you’re above the show now. Why is she here filming with us? I kind of agreed with that.
I also agreed that Ariana probably shouldn’t have been on the last season of Vanderpump. There was no reason for her to be there. She felt like she was above it. She had gotten so many more opportunities. She was doing other stuff good for her. So it’s just weird sometimes to watch this show. I just never know what to believe.
And we got the cliffhanger at the end of the episode, Jesse, confronting Aaron. Who I look, I’m, I just shake my head at that guy. I, I have, I don’t get it. I don’t get it. I to each their own, Michelle to each their own. I just don’t see it. With that said, Jesse confronts Aaron, you knew they’re gonna end on a cliffhanger, and he flat out asks him, was there, did you cross any boundaries with my ex-wife, either physically or emotionally?
We’ll get an answer at the beginning of next week. My, my guess is Aaron’s gonna say no and Jesse’s going to believe him, and that’s probably what ended up happening. But Jesse now has the closure that he needed and that the kiss that Michelle had was not with Aaron and any other cheating she did was with somebody else and it wasn’t Aaron.
That’s the impression I get of what we’re gonna happen. What we’re gonna see happen at the beginning of next week’s episode when it picks up.
