Now, the other thing I wanna talk about if you did not watch the live feeds, or you did not follow along on the live feeds, is. Morgan and Vince once again are getting, they’re not hooking up, they’re not making out, they’re not having sex, but they are talking in code and they’re talking about quote unquote option one.
And everybody online seems to think when Vince and Morgan are talking about option one, that is them dating post show, the conversations are quite obvious what they’re saying to each other. It’s way, way. I mean, to me it seems obvious that he’s bringing up. What about Option one? Well, I don’t know. I can’t think about that right now.
Like that’s the type of stuff she’s saying, which is basically her saying, I don’t wanna think about option one right now because you still have a girlfriend. But if the situation was different, it would, ’cause she has said Option one is not possible to think about. It’s at 0% right now. But if the situation was different, it’d be more than 0%.
Everybody kind of knows what she’s talking about, and now they’re acknowledging that. Now, I also think. Vince, once he gets out of this house, is gonna somehow claim, well, when I came into the house, things weren’t really great Between me and Kelsey, his girlfriend of seven years, he’s gonna downplay their relationship, which is gonna make it easier for him to start dating Morgan, or at least say, this is why I did what I did with Morgan in the house.
This is why I was so close to her. This is why I hugged her for 45 seconds at a time. I can already tell you that’s the route he’s gonna go. He’s gonna make it seem like him and Kelsey weren’t great, even though at the beginning of the season in the diary room, he was saying stuff when they voted to evict people, he would say, love you, Kelsey.
And he acknowledged two or three weeks ago, I think Kelsey is gonna think this is funny. He’s gonna think, she’s gonna think this show match is funny. She’s totally gonna like you, Morgan. The three of us can hang out. But he hasn’t spoken to her, so how can that possibly change while he is in the house too?
Well, you know what? Our relationship wasn’t great. He is so screwed. He’s not gonna have a girlfriend after this unless that girlfriend is Morgan. ’cause it really does seem like Kelsey doesn’t want any part of him. Another reason why that’s the case is because you will probably see on Wednesday nights episode that the Final Five got videos from home and on Vince’s video was his mom and dad.
Kelsey was no part of his video. Now some in the house are telling him, oh, oh, it was just a parent’s video. That’s probably why she wasn’t on it yet. Ava’s boyfriend was part of her video, so he’s just trying to convince himself that everything’s great with him and Kelsey right now, and it’s obvious that it’s not.
She’s not happy, nor should she be, and she’s probably going to dump his ass the second he gets outta that house and he just has no idea what’s gonna hit him next Sunday night. I mean, it’s bad. It is really bad. And now him and Morgan are literally talking about in code of course. And maybe they’re gonna deny it and they say, oh no, the option one, that wasn’t what we were talking about.
Come on, we’re not dumb. These people that have been hugging for 45 seconds to a minute at a time all season long, they sleep in the same bed. Yes, her head is at the foot of the bed and his head is at the top of the bed on the pillow, but. There’s no way Kelsey’s cool with that, so it’s gonna be very interesting post show with these two.
Now moving on, I told you that Zing Bott roasted me. Well, he did sort of. So somebody, a reader and listener to the podcast, typed in, I guess chat, GPT. Give me a couple roast jokes about podcast or reality, Steve, in the style of zing Bott. So here is the ones that they sent me. Reality. Steve, you leak bachelors.
I’m not gonna try and do it like zba. I’m just gonna read it. Reality. Steve, you leak bachelor Spoilers faster than my phone. Battery drains and the only thing more predictable than your recaps is A, B, C hauling you into court. Zing zing. But you realized A, B, C hasn’t hauled me into court since 2011. Right?
Not a very fresh take. The second one, reality, Steve, you’ve got more inside info than the CIA, but when it comes to romance, you’re still stuck in the friend zone, zing. You got that one fucking right. The amount of times that I moving on reality. Steve, you spoil bachelor drama like it’s your job. Too bad.
Charisma wasn’t part of the gig. Zing. Well, number one, it is my job to spoil the show Charisma. I don’t have any charisma, fuck using bot. I feel like I have some charisma, right? Then the last one said, you’ve got more tea than Lipton, but still can’t brew up a date. Zing. Alright, can we lay off the dating for Christ’s sakes?
Geez, sorry. Zing bot. Quite the lady killer. You are right. So thanks to the person who sent that in to know that Zing Bott is just as stupid on chat GBT as he is on the show. So a major TV this week because just so much going on. Right? Tomorrow night, episode two of Dancing With the Stars. Wednesday Night Survivor, premier Big Brother, third to last episode.
I believe Amazing Race Premiere. After the survivor premiere, unless Amazing Race is Thursday. I know. Amazing Race Premiere is this week. I think it’s Wednesday after Survivor Challenge episode. 90 minutes of that 99 to beat the floor Special Forces on Friday or on Thursday.
Along with live eviction Thursday night. I can tell you right now, 99 to beat and the floor are definitely getting pushed towards the weekend. And I don’t even know if I’m gonna get to Special forces on Thursday night either. ’cause I gotta watch the live eviction ’cause I can’t push that off a day. ’cause I’ll see the results.
So. My gosh, so much this week. Now the good thing is Big Brother is done on Sunday because next Wednesday will be the first six episodes of Love Is Blind, season nine in Denver. So I’m gonna have to watch that next Wednesday during the day and I will, I’ll rip through those six episodes on Wednesday.
I’ll spend all day Wednesday watching that. Maybe I’ll go live on Wednesday night talking about it. But we’re definitely, the good thing is, like I said, big Brother ends this week. Ends Sunday night episode. Wednesday episode, live eviction Thursday, live finale on Sunday night, but holy crap. So then when next week rolls around.
We’ve got Dance with the Stars on Tuesdays. We’re gonna have Love Is Blind, the, I’m assuming episode 7, 8, 9 on Wednesday, along with Survivor, along with Amazing Race. Then on Thursday we’ll have 99 to beat the floor and Special Forces. It’s a busy, busy week to say the least, and it’s just gonna be busy, a busy TV season because this is when all the shows start.
So, oh, I didn’t even mention Fucking Golden Bachelor starts Wednesday as well. That’s right, I did when I talked about this last week. But yeah, totally forgot to mention that. And Golden Bachelor every Wednesday night, ma. Man, this is a lot. Somehow I’ll get through all of it. And finally, I was talking to Bachelor data last week.
She posted about the Dance with the Stars, episode one Ratings. And I don’t know if you saw it, but did you see how well Dancing With the Stars did last week? I mean, it absolutely destroyed. Dancing With the Stars has been on 20 years. You know, we talk about the Bachelor franchise just kind of going downhill and a lot of that has to do with the fact that it’s been on like 23, 24 years and we’re in season 51.
If you combine all the Bachelor and Bachelorette seasons. The answer with the stars is in his, its 20th year. This is season 34, and it won the night for the second year in a row with five and a half million total viewers and a 1.1 rating in adults 18 to 49. That is up 50% over last year in the 1.1 rating last year’s Premier episode.
Hold on. Lemme go to my text with Susanna ’cause she sent me that. Yeah, last year’s first episode rating. Got a 0.73. I’m just gonna read you all the ratings that Dancing With the Stars got last year in the 18 to 49 demo. In the 10 episodes, 0.7, 3.7, 6.5, 6.6, 2.6, 7.7, 2.6, 7.7, 1.75, and the finale got 1.14. Yet this premier last Tuesday got a 1.1, which was what the finale of last season got.
It’s the biggest premiere in five years. Since season 29 in 2020, and that was the first year that they had replaced Tom Bergeron and Aaron Andrews. So the 1.1 18 to 49 means they’re skewing towards a younger audience, probably because they’re casting younger people and you’re casting people like from the real lives of Mormon wives.
So yeah. That demo skews younger, and now that we got Taylor, Frankie Paul as our bachelorette, I bet you when we get the bachelorette ratings, that will skew younger and that rating will go up. Now if you compare Taylor, Frankie Paul to Jen Tran, I’m gonna have to go look at Jen Tran’s ratings and go to bachelor data and find them.
But if I’m remembering correctly, she was getting like 1.6, 1.7, 1.8. I can tell you right now, Taylor, Frankie Paul is going to get more than Jen Tran did our last bachelorette for sure. Now they’re airing at different times. ’cause Jen’s during the summer, this, you know, numbers are always down during the summer ’cause that’s when people travel.
So it will be different and it will be hard to judge because the Bachelor has always been the flagship franchise, and it aired from January to March, assuming that’s when Taylor’s is going to air. Here’s the thing, it’s gonna draw better than Jen’s. Now some people will say like, oh, well, Jen’s in the summer, Taylor’s is in the fall slash spring or whatever.
I, I don’t, the, the key to me will be the rating. 18 to 49, rating male and female, 18 to 49. I think that’s going to kill. Now the question is, is Taylor Frankie Paul gonna double Jen’s ratings? I mean, honestly, if you’re gonna compare it, you probably have to compare it to grants. Even though it’s a Bachelorette versus a bachelor season, it’s gonna air the same time as Grants did.
So that’s a better comparison. And grants was drawing, I think high, you know, maybe low. 2,000,002, 2.1. I have to go look at his ratings. I’m telling you right now, Taylor, Frankie Paul is getting more than that, but how much more are we talking? She’s gonna be in the three to three and a half million range if I had to guess.
That’s what I think she’s gonna get. And then the rating will be higher. But anyway, going back to Dancing with the Stars. The other thing that was really interesting was the amount of votes people got to do and people placed for episode one. So last year, the season that Joey won on his first episode, 8 million votes were cast.
Do you know how many votes were cast last Monday night for the first episode? 21 million. That’s 163% increase. That is some crazy ass numbers. I didn’t even know they even told us the number of votes that come through. That must be something new. ’cause I had no idea that the Premier episode last year drew 8 million votes from fans.
Maybe this is the first we’re hearing about it because they wanted to show you, look at how much better this season did. Social interactions were up 58% from last year’s, 1.7 million this year, 2.7 million after the first episode. And I think it just has to do with casting people that are younger and are on shows that people are familiar with that wanna watch.
I can’t sit here and say it’s because of the two women from the real lives of Mormon Wives show, but I’m certainly that. I’m sure that helps. I just think that. Because they’re skewing younger, and then because the Bachelorette is gonna have Taylor, Frankie Paul, I think you’re gonna see kind of the same type of increase, because by the end of the Dancing with the Star season, they’ll start promoting Taylor, Frankie Paul on Dancing With the Stars and really hype it up.
But those are some unbelievable numbers for a show that’s been on in the air for 20 years, 5.5 million and a 1.1 rating in the first episode. Wow. Anyway, thank you all for listening.
