You are listening to the Daily Roundup here as part of the Reality Steve Podcast, I’m your host of reality. Steve, thank you all for tuning in on this Tuesday. Got a really good episode for you today. We’re gonna go over last night’s Bachelor in Paradise. Some stuff to talk about, some stuff to talk about on social media regarding Bachelor in Paradise.
I dunno if you saw it yesterday. We’re also gonna talk about my favorite site that I love to hate because I think they’re garbage, Dux Mo, or DUIs, as most of you people know it as. We’re also gonna talk about Big Brother, what happened yesterday with the power of veto. Was it used? Well, of course it was used since one of the people that’s up on the block, one power of Veto.
Whoops. Spoiler. If you don’t know, I’m doing spoilers right now on Big Brother. Don’t really know what to tell you, but what happened and the drama that’s going on there is pretty funny. And then if I get around to it, maybe I’ll talk a little bit about an email that Dave Neil received last week.
Regarding Laura Owens and the absurdity of it, and we’ll get to all that momentarily. And when I say momentarily, I mean let’s get started. I’m just, when I’ve said for what, almost nine years up until a few weeks ago, we’ll get to that momentarily. It’s very hard to immediately start into the podcast, but I’ll eventually get used to it now.
Bachelor in Paradise last night. A few things I wanna point out about the episode. As I put in the spoilers,
we knew that there’s only two episodes left last night and next Tuesday they’re not airing it. The finale on Monday night, the first ’cause that’s a holiday. It’s airing next Tuesday. And I said, look. I know the next Rose ceremonies are, Jonathan and Leia are going home at the next Rose ceremony and then at the Rose ceremony.
After that, there are two couples going home, which is going to be Keith and Kathy and Jeremy and Bailey. I just didn’t know if they were gonna put that all in the same episode. Well, as you saw, they kinda rushed in the last 20 minutes we saw the last challenge, and literally everybody. At the next Rose ceremony.
So probably the first 20 minutes they’re gonna be of next step is of the finale. On next Tuesday night, first 15, 20 minutes or so, we’re gonna see Kath, Kathy, and Keith go home and we’re gonna see Jeremy and Bailey go home. So we know the final three couples are Cat and Dale. Alex and Andrew and Justin Spencer, you know that Cat and Dale finished third.
I don’t know how they finished. Third, if it’s because of a challenge that they lose, if it’s a vote, whatever. But we do know that all the losing couples, once the game started come back. You saw that in the preview. We also know that Sean accuses Kat of being there with a boyfriend, and we’ll get more details on that, but.
I noticed in the challenge last night with the tents and having to make the tents and all that stuff. Look, they’ve done this numerous times on this show. Usually it’s on a group date when you’re talking about Bachelor Bachelorette, where they bring in some sort of judge and they bring in this Dr.
Berman that’s supposed to analyze all the couples and whatever couple wins, gets private time. Let tell you something. I’m sure you know this by now, we’re in season whatever, 50 or close to 60, if you count all bachelor, bachelorette, and bachelor in Paradise seasons. Anytime somebody is brought in from the outside and told to judge and pick the winner, just know they’re told who to pick by production.
That’s all it is. Dr. Berman can write down all her notes that she wants and she can analyze these couples watching on monitors. But the show basically said Dale and Kat are winning this, and they did. So there you go. In case you didn’t know, as for the Dale and Kat date, I think this show, and it’s always been this way, so it’s not like they’re doing anything different this season.
With this particular aspect I’m about to talk about, but this show, when I’m talking about Bachelor in Paradise, it has never been about the dates. You know, you get a date card, you come on to the island, you come on to the resort, and you get to ask somebody on a date. These dates are really meaningless in terms of any sort of excitement.
Did you see what Cat and Dale’s date was? Hey, we just set up some sofa. Seats, some sofa chairs on the beach and you got some fruit and some food and some drinks. And here’s a, here’s a, here’s a beach umbrella too, so you don’t get too sunburned. Like that was their extra time. I mean, they could sit around the pool and have the same conversation there.
It, I, I just think maybe you, I understand they’re in Costa Rica, but. Has anybody done anything remotely interesting on any of the dates this season? Isn’t Costa Rica big for like zip lining? Did they do a zip line earlier this season? Oh, maybe they did. I already forgot. But like, can we do something for the dates?
’cause all these one-on-one solo dates end up being is, oh, you’re just gonna walk over here and have dinner or walk over here and just get alone time. I, I guarantee you, if these people were given the opportunity of. Hey, cat and Dale, do you want to go down to the beach, get a beach chair, an umbrella, some mimosas, some alcohol and watch that?
Or would you like to go up to the room and bang it out for a couple hours? I guarantee it would be the latter. These dates are just so dumb. They can improve these dates. Let’s do something and, hey, it’s, I, I said this during nine seasons of Bachelor in Paradise, when it was down to Mexico. I said they dedicate like three to five minutes to these dates.
Everything else is what’s going on back with the rest of the crew. So I was just watching that Cat and Dale date and I’m like, this is just so not interesting because there’s nothing going on between these two in terms, I’m just saying nothing going on between them. I’m just saying about the date, like let them get out and do something different.
All they’re doing is sitting and talking. Can you give them something? I know they did like tantric dates and breathing exercises, but I don’t know. It seems like Costa Rica had better stuff they could possibly do for their dates than what they’ve chosen to do. I mean, hell, they’ve lasted this long in the show, and what’d they do on their first date?
They got to go on a yacht. I’m sure that was way more fun than, oh, let’s just go down to the beach and sit in chairs and have a couple drinks. I think they just need to spice up the dates, and I’ve been saying this for nine years. Clearly they don’t listen to me. They’re the big time producers. They know what they’re doing.
Oh, okay. If you’re asking me, you don’t know anything that you’re doing ’cause these dates suck and there’s just no, there’s no benefit to them. Obviously the biggest benefit is they’re immune from that particular rose ceremony. That’s the biggest benefit. But them just sitting there on a beach, nah, I’m guessing they would rather do something else.
For me in the mornings, got a lot of work to get to, making sure the podcasts are posted, getting them out on my socials, checking the news, responding to emails.
