Tomorrow night is the finale. Just know. In case you didn’t remember last week, no finale tonight for Bachelor in Paradise.
The finale is going to be tomorrow night, and then they are going to film the Bachelor in Paradise Unplugged Show on Wednesday afternoon. Part one of it will air on the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast audio form only. It’ll be released at the same time. 2:00 AM Eastern Time, which is technically Thursday morning.
And then Friday, didn’t I see Stephanie from, she’s all batch post this weekend. She gotta confirm that Friday’s release will basically be an hour earlier. I think it’s gonna be 10, it’s gonna be 1:00 AM Eastern time. So, this is gonna be interesting for me because head out of town on Thursday and I’ll at least Thursday morning on my flight, will listen to part one sometime when I’m outta town.
On Friday, we’ll try and listen to part two, but you’re gonna get a prerecorded interview on Friday. I just don’t know who with yet. Mondays next Monday’s podcast, we’ll talk about what we heard and saw on the Bachelor in Paradise Unplugged reunion. So tomorrow night finale. Then parts one and Parts two released late Wednesday night, late Thursday night in audio form, and then on Saturday it’ll be on YouTube.
But as we approach the finale tomorrow night, there was one thing that there are, there are things that I liked about this season. I do like the new look, the way it was shot. I haven’t really decided how, if I like the money aspect of it, but as everything I’ve been told, even though the. Commercials and previews for it make you think these people have to choose love or money.
I think that’s very misleading because I’ve been told that’s not how it ends. You don’t have to choose the person or run with the money. That’s not how it ends. It’s just, it’s just the way they’re editing it makes you want to think. These couples have to decide, do whether why they wanna stay together or just run off with money.
And if you think logically it makes no sense. ’cause anybody in their right mind would just choose the money and then just date after the show. So I don’t buy that for a second. You shouldn’t either. And I’ve been pretty accurate with all my spoilers this season on Bachelor Paradise. So stick with me on that one.
So there’ve been some good things they’ve done this season. There’ve been some misses bringing on Hannah Brown and hav her doing absolutely nothing. That was a big miss. Another big miss was, remember at the beginning of the season where we found out all these talkers got to go to Costa Rica and do pre-show interviews with the cast.
And maybe I’m just not a TikTok follower of, I don’t know any of those people that got to do pre-show interviews, but that really didn’t help the show at all. As far as I know. I thought that was gonna be a much bigger deal. And these four or five TikTok influencers that got to go out there and interview the cast, what has it done?
What have they done that has helped promote the show? Then again, I haven’t been on any of their tiktoks, so I don’t know what they’ve even posted, but. As someone who covers it as much as I do and is online as much as I do, the fact that I really haven’t seen anything. And not to mention, when they got to go out to Costa Rica, they were only there for like the three or four days before filming started.
So what could you really do? You’re interviewing a bunch of people that are gonna give you a bunch of generic answers ’cause they don’t really know what they’re getting into. So I, that ended up being a giant drop of the ball, I think. Because what did it really add? And one final thing I wanna talk about in regards to the Bachelor happy Hour podcast, parts one and Parts two being released in audio form.
You know, I gave this more thought over the weekend. I was talking to Stephanie about this. I was talking to Courtney about this, and it just is such a, I, I told you, look, it’s a big, it’s another drop of the ball by them this season to do that. Release it in two parts, in audio form and then video form on Saturday.
And here’s the thing. It would’ve made somewhat sense if Joe and Serena were actually part of the reunion taping. They’re not, they have nothing to do with the taping. They’re not gonna be there. So to release it on their podcast is clearly just a, B, C, trying to drive subscriptions and downloads. To the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast.
Look, I’ve got nothing against the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast. I just don’t listen to them, and I’m sure they don’t listen to me. I have nothing against Serena, not a huge fan of Joe. After he called me out without even speaking to me, when the whole Demi thing came down, I thought that was a bullshit interview that he did for an hour with her without even, I don’t know, reaching out to me.
And asking me about anything, but it is what it’s, I don’t hate the guy. I just don’t really have much respect for him. And the times that I have heard the podcast when I’ve had to get quotes of guests that they have on, it looks like he just mails it in every single week. But it’s just one man’s opinion.
So like I said, I don’t have a problem per se. If Joe and Serena, I don’t know, were the hosts of the reunion, then it would make sense. All they’re looking to to do is just drive subscriptions. Like maybe somebody doesn’t know about The Bachelor Happy Hour podcast. And the only way, and they’re really into BIP and the only way they can hear the BIP reunion is to go download that podcast.
Oh, Joe and Serena’s podcast, I think I’ll subscribe to this, or I think I’ll listen to it. Oh, I like them. I’m gonna listen to them every week now. It is just a big miss on my part because anybody who doesn’t know about Joe and Serena’s podcast right, right now, I don’t think is all of a sudden gonna be turned on by it and going to tune in every week because that’s where they got their Bachelor in Paradise reunion show.
It just isn’t adding up why they’re doing it this way. I mean, I know why they’re trying to drive traffic to it, and yeah, I’m sure they will get a spike in downloads for this week, but I think the retention of, oh, I’m gonna sit here every week now for Bachelor happy hour podcasts. I’m just not seeing it.
I’m really not. And again, that’s not a shot at their podcast. It’s just a shot at how the show is actually releasing this thing. Because clearly they just want downloads and attention going to their flagship podcast for the show. But what does it matter if they listen to part one and or part two and then never go back again?
Maybe you retain a few, but look, if somebody in this franchise doesn’t know about Joe and Serena having a podcast by now. They’re not all of a sudden going to become a giant fan when Joe and Serena have nothing to do with the reunion show. I don’t even think we’re gonna hear them on this reunion show.
Maybe they record an open and a close, but the reunion show has nothing to do with them. They’re not there, but we heard who’s gonna be there. Wells is hosting, and the final eight couples just a head scratcher, really. All right, let’s talk about Big Brother. Last night you saw the head of Household episode, and that episode showed that Keanu wins his first head of household of the season, and he puts up Morgan, Vince, and Mickey.
Now, we’ve all gotten to talking about how close Morgan and Vince have become in the last week or so in the house. If you’ve been watching the live feeds, you’ve seen any of the clips from the live feeds. Just like everybody is up in arms in regards to the Riley Catherine relationship, people just can’t believe Vinny and Vince, whatever you wanna call ’em, the way he’s acting on the live feeds, considering he has a girlfriend at home.
I read you what his cousin has said online. I read you some of the things his girlfriend has said online about watching him on the live feeds. Clearly looks like they’ve got a major conversation that needs to happen after this. Eviction, whether he gets evicted or not. And if he lasts until finale night, they’re gonna have to wait to have this conversation.
But she’s not happy. I can’t imagine she wants to stay with him. He’s gonna really have to talk himself out of this. But then what do you do to Morgan? Because there’s no way his girlfriend is gonna be cool. With him being as close to Morgan as he was the last couple weeks. So that’s their issue to deal with whatever the case may be.
But they are now basically a duo in this game. They are a twosome that doesn’t want the other one to leave. They would love probably to get to the final two together. And with Keanu winning HOH and him putting both of them on the block, it’s like, okay, now what? Well, spoiler coming in three. Two, one power of veto happened on Saturday and Morgan won the power of veto, so the only two people that we know are through to the jury are Keanu and Morgan.
Everybody else technically still has a chance of not making it. We know some people are definitely safe, but hell, Keanu has told Rachel, I am not putting you up as a Renno, but Rachel’s alliance of the judges, which is Rachel Ashley. Morgan Will and Vince. Well, Morgan and Vince well Morgan’s off the block now.
Rachel is trying to convince Keanu. Do not put up Ashley. ’cause it looks like it’s coming down to Ashley or Ava and I don’t know, I, Keanu doesn’t know about the judge’s alliance, so Rachel was working overtime this weekend trying to convince him you can’t put Ashley up. And he’s like, why? I think she’s safe if I put her up, which she probably is, but Rachel is worried.
Well, if he puts Ashley up as a renno and Mickey wins BB blockbuster. Well, the only two people left for eviction night are Ashley and Vince. That means Rachel and the judge’s alliance is gonna lose one. So Rachel. Made him lasagna on Saturday night, basically kissing his ass, trying to convince him. You gotta put Lauren or Ava up.
I think she want, I, she, she more or less wants Lauren up. And Keanu as of this recording, I don’t think is going for it. I think he’s putting Ashley up, which basically means Ashley or Vince have gotta win BB Blockbuster to keep the judge’s Alliance intact. Because if Ashley wins, I think Vince has the votes to stay over Mickey, and if Vince wins, I think Ashley has the votes to stay over Mickey, even though Mickey thinks she’s staying, plus the judge’s alliance.
And Rachel doesn’t wanna have to vote Mickey out. They’d like to keep her a little bit longer, even though she’s not in their alliance. So it’s gonna get really hairy today. We’ll find out some more. But that should be very, very interesting of who Keanu ultimately decides to put up. If it’s Ashley, boy that Judge’s Alliance really needs an Ashley or Vince BB Blockbuster Win.
So in tomorrow’s podcast, we’ll go over that. I, I’m gonna talk about the Catherine stuff in tomorrow’s podcast ’cause I think I want to dedicate at least half the podcast to the things that Catherine said in interviews and some things that Riley has said in interviews. So we will get to that tomorrow, just so you know.
Out of town leaving Thursday morning, but you’re still gonna get your regular pocket. You’re gonna get a daily Roundup Sports Daily and podcast number 4 59 coming on Thursday. I think I know who it’s gonna be, but there’s a chance it might be somebody else and I might push that one to the following week or just put it on a daily roundup for Friday.
So you’re gonna have a regular daily roundup. You’ll have a prerecorded interview from the Sports Daily for those that are interested with my buddy from my Jim Rome days. Sean Pendergast, who’s a sports talk show host in Houston. You know him as the Kaplan Asian. If you’re a fan of the Jim Rome show, former enemy of mine back in the day.
But we’ve mended fences. Good friend of mine and his daughter is dating Charlie from Survivor. Which I found out during Charlie’s season of Survivor when they showed his girlfriend in pictures. I’m like, my gosh, it looks like Sean’s daughter. I texted Sean that night. I’m like, wait, your daughter’s dating Charlie?
He’s like, yep. And he did not know, by the way, he did not know the outcome of Charlie and what happened to him on his season. His daughter never told him, and he never asked. So I just thought that was a interesting reality TV note. But he’s gonna be the guest on Thursday on the Sports Daily. And then podcast number 4 59 will be a guest.
The daily Roundup on Friday is going to be an interview as well, prerecorded, ’cause I don’t wanna have to record anything out of town on Thursday night, which would be my two Friday podcasts. So. My daily roundup on Friday is going to be a prerecorded guest, so there will not be any talk about the Bachelor Unplugged reunion unless I get on Instagram live or record a video or something like that.
And then Sports Daily on Friday is going to be. Your NFL over under win totals for the year. My NFL picks for week one and my college picks for week two. Anyway, thank you all for listening. Really appreciate it. Follow me on Apple Podcasts. Also, rate and review, but you gotta hit play. It’s the only way it counts as a download.
Sports Daily coming up in an hour from now. Again, thank you all for listening. I appreciate it. Have a great Labor Day every. And I’ll talk to you tomorrow. Sweet.
