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 Tuesday. We’re gonna talk about Bachelor in Paradise episode. What was that four last night? Thank God it was only two hours down to four episodes. Or not.
Excuse me. We’ve had four episodes and that was number four last night. We’ll discuss it. Definitely some talking points from last night’s episode. We know what the biggest one was. Mel’s season of the Golden Bachelor. Officially getting underway this week. You can attend one of the dates this weekend. How about that?
Kaitlyn and Colton officially announced as hosts of a reality dating show that’s gonna debut in about three and a half weeks, and they’re gonna drop all 10 episodes on the day it’s revealed. This has been speculated for a while now, but it was made official yesterday and something I didn’t get to last week.
Jason Priestly has actually addressed what’s going on in Bachelor in Paradise and holy crap, do we have. A Pacey and Joey reunion. Unbelievable. So let’s get started. Bachelor in Paradise last night. So I don’t have a ton to say about last night’s episode and honestly, to me, it seems like if I had to break down the two hours, I would say more than half the episode was dedicated to the goldens.
And then. Of the remaining 50%, over half of that was dedicated to Dale and Kat, right? Like they never focused on any other couples. It was mostly golden related. I’m not gonna say like, well, the time for this golden couple and this golden just golden related content last night, which is fine. But considering the way the ratings have gone the first three episodes, not sure that was the route to go.
But I guess we’ll see. And last night’s episode, saw Gary come in and he arrived in the car. That was the one video clip that did get out during filming. Was Gary arriving that day Dancing? I thought it was his birthday that day. Did they ever mention that last night? Did he say it was his birthday? He very well could have.
Again, I watch Bachelor in Paradise, but I’m definitely scrolling on my phone and looking at other things, so maybe I’m not catching all parts of every conversation, but when Gary came in, I was like, okay, this is the clip that we saw that got out during filming. He ended up taking out Leslie. They went dancing and I think we all assumed that he was getting.
Leslie’s Rose because the women were giving out roses at Rose ceremony number three, we know that didn’t happen. The other thing that was probably the biggest event in the most talked about moment of last night was Dale and Katz conversations, and Dale coining the frame phrase. I edited it. I didn’t know that was a phrase.
I didn’t even know that was a word. And it’s very possible. I don’t know this stuff because I’m 50 now. I feel like I have a fairly good handle. I do have a niece that’s 21 and a nephew that’s 18, and I hear all their language. I don’t know if I’ve ever heard them ever say, oh, they deaded it, whether meaning it’s a topic that’s now squashed and dead, and that’s over, over and done with.
I deaded it. It’s one thing for Dale to say it. It’s another thing for him to say it 10 to 15 times in one episode and everything we saw from Dale last night, I don’t think painted him in the greatest of lights. And honestly, I was paying attention to their conversations and I, for the life of me, still can’t understand what they were arguing about.
I thought Kat handled herself. Much better than Dale did. Much more levelheaded. I feel like if Kat had that conversation two seasons ago when she was on Paradise, it would’ve ended with her storming off, crying, going off on somebody, and she was the calm, cool, collected one. Not that Dale went off on her ’cause he didn’t.
He just was very dismissive of her, but I still don’t even understand what they were arguing about, just that she brought it up at a bad time. Again, I think she was saying, well, when was I supposed to bring this up? I’ve just came into new information in regards to you kissing Ali Joe, outside of the kissing contest.
So I wanted to bring it to your attention. I don’t know. Your guess is as good as mine as to what that whole argument was about, and then it just continued. I thought they were over and done with. I thought, like Dale said, he deed it. I can’t even say that word deed dead. It debted it. That’s what’s confusing me.
The word it being after debted edit. Either way. Even after she gave him a rose at the rose ceremony, they still couldn’t get over it. Even though Kat made a great joke about it being dead and he didn’t think it was funny,
I just, I don’t know what to tell you. I really, really couldn’t understand it. So Natasha ended up giving her rose to Gary, even though Leslie was set to give her rose to Gary. So we had no idea where Leslie was going with her Rose. Unless you read the spoilers, you knew that Kim got the rose. And so Kim wasn’t expecting a rose, but then I guess needed to try and impress Leslie.
And you knew at some point it was gonna happen because when Kim was on Jones season, he was known for writing the really cornball song about the men of Joan season. Well, he decided to write Leslie a poem, sit her down and read it right in front of her. I, I, I had a feeling this wasn’t gonna go well and Leslie put on a happy face, but you could tell Leslie was very embarrassed and it was a little cringey, especially when she says in a confessional right after that.
I, I just don’t see anything romantic between Kim and I. It’s a nice gesture, but there’s just nothing there. And she was more invested in Gary. So yeah, that was a little bit concerning. A little bit cringey to watch. Kim’s a nice guy, but I have a feeling he listens to production too much and they wanted him to do that because that’s what he was known for on Joan’s season.
So you might as well have him be known for that on this season. And I think. The biggest thing that we saw last night was the trailer for the rest of the season where it was explained a little bit more about the $500,000. We still don’t know exactly. We knew that. And you knew by the spoilers that once the fourth row ceremony happens, there’s no more.
People arriving and the couples now have to compete in challenges. And when I gave the spoilers, I said, look, I don’t know if the challenges give you an advantage to mean you can’t be eliminated at a rose ceremony. Or if you automatically finish last in a challenge, you’re automatically eliminated versus being voted out.
I don’t really know how it works. Jesse presents this $500,000 love or money, I’m telling you right now, there’s no way. The final prize is one or the other. You have to choose love or you have to choose splitting the money because that makes no sense. Because why wouldn’t you just be like, yeah, we’re gonna choose the money and then just split it and then continue to date.
Like this doesn’t make any sense. So it’s not a and or, I do not believe I, I just can’t see any way where this is a one or the other. You have to choose love, or you have to choose $500,000 and split the money. So it was explained a little bit more, but not too much. The one thing, the one other final thing I wanna point out about Paradise happened over the weekend where Jason Priestly, Brandon Walsh, posted on his Instagram story, the clip from last week when Sean said in a confessional, he didn’t know who Jason Priestly was.
I think he said, who the fuck is Jason Priestly? So Jason Priestley posted that and wrote in the caption, there are five stages of being Jason Priestley. It was just really good stuff, and the fact that Jason Priestley acknowledged his existence on a reality dating show. I mean, my two worlds collide. My 9 0 2 1 oh pants got excited and Jason Priestly responding and watching.
Well, he’s probably not watching the show. Someone probably sent him the clip. But either way. Very, very funny that he actually addressed that and I reposted it this weekend. Not that we didn’t think it was official, but it is now officially official that Mels is going to be the Golden Bachelor show.
Still hasn’t acknowledged anything he said on that podcast. Filming begins probably tonight, if I had to guess or tomorrow, but the bachelor nation.com website. Which you can go to right now. You can check out the fact that they are advertising. You can attend one of the dates this upcoming weekend for the Golden Bachelor of Mel season.
There’s a date on Friday and there’s a date on Sunday that you can attend. Go to bachelor nation.com. Go to casting. Or audience? No, the dropdown list shows. Audience. Go to audience and you’ll see from there where you need to go to click on if you’re in Southern California. I mean, just looking at it both Friday and Sunday in downtown.
LA says Friday, approximately one to 5:00 PM Sunday, approximately two 30 to 7:30 PM I can tell you right now, those times are gonna be longer. They put that on there. But I’ve never heard of a date in the history of this show that only lasted four hours, where a group date people had to be a part of it, where audience had to be a part of it, and they were only there for four hours.
No, there’s a whole process to get everybody signed in and then they show up and whatever. It’s probably group dates. There might be a solo date in there. It just says, be part of Mel’s season. Now, you know how I feel about Mel as the Golden Bachelor, as do a lot of you. So I think a lot of you that are in the Southern California area should email this address info@bachelornationaudience.com.
Gotta leave your name, your contact email, which date you’re requesting to go to your age, and everybody in your party. That will be going info@bachelornationaudience.com. I think a lot of you should go. I’m not gonna sit here and tell you, hey, if you are in attendance on Friday and Sunday’s date, you should boo the hell out of Mel when he appears cause a ruckus and make it miserable for the filming crew that you don’t approve of.
Mel being the golden Bachelor. I am also not gonna tell you not to do that. It’s up to you. But look, I know it’s not gonna do anything. They’re clearly not going to replace him. We’re stuck with this ageist on the show who we pretty much know is gonna pick Carol. You know, like I said, I know nothing but. I know Mel, based on that podcast, I know what he likes, and if you are gonna give him every woman over 60 outside of Maya, who’s 58, my guess is he’s gonna pick the good looking blonde who lives in Orange County, and that’s who Carol is.
But we’ll see. Maybe Carol goes on the first row sermon. I don’t know. I’m just, yeah, I’m being as shallow as Mel is because Mel has showed us how pretty shallow he is. So just looking at the women and not knowing anything other than their first name, their age, and what city they live in. I’m gonna say he goes with Carol and picks her and they ride off into the sunset and last, I don’t know, 14 minutes before they break up publicly.
It’s just my guess, but hey, you can be a part of the dates and I wouldn’t encourage anybody to get out there and Boo Mel when you see him for the first time. But I also wouldn’t not encourage you to do that.
