You are listening to the Daily Roundup here as part of the Reality C Podcast. I’m your host, reality C. Thank you all for tuning in on this Wednesday. Got a lot to go over. We saw our first clip of the Golden Bachelor of the Women talking to Mel about what he said on the podcast. We knew this was coming because Mel said it in all preseason interviews, but now we see and hear the things that they said to him and.
They went after him. We’re gonna listen to that 32nd clip that was on the Golden Bachelor, A BC Instagram account yesterday. Gonna talk about Dancing with the Stars week two from last night. Updates you on what’s going on in the Big Brother world. A lot happening there. The Dawson’s Creek reunion, man, I might’ve been dead wrong about what I said yesterday, and I have got.
Well, two things I I wanna discuss. One thing that happened on, are you, my first, the show hosted by Caitlin and Colton. Colton. And then just a random thing on Instagram from last night that I cannot stop laughing about. It’s just so random. So let’s get started. So I wanted to bring up this, we’ve talked about it ever since Mel went on that podcast.
Michigan football podcast back in June and he said he was only interested in women. 45 to 60-year-old. No wigs, no artificial hips. You know what he said? And I made it known at that point, you gotta replace this guy. And once we realized they didn’t replace him, I knew they weren’t going to avoid it. ’cause every woman on that season that was going on the show had to have known this is what he said.
’cause he said it over a month, if not longer, before they even left to go film for the show. But they didn’t replace ’em. We know that they’ve already filmed the season, so our first, we’ve seen some promos and we’ve seen some commercials of people on dates and him kissing women and all that stuff, but we have heard him in preseason interviews, written interviews that he’s done with other people saying, yeah, I addressed it the first night and I think the ladies forgave me.
And yesterday, the Golden Bachelor, A BC Instagram account released their first. Video footage, a 32nd clip of the women and what they said to Mel. Some of them outta the limo, some of them on dates. So I’m gonna play the 32nd clip for you so you can listen to it for yourself.
All right, so I want to ask you about age.
Is that to you? Just a number? The spirit has no age. You’re open to dating women in their sixties. Of course. Of course. Are you open to dating women that are older than you? Yeah, of course. Well, that’s not what you said on the podcast a few months ago. Hope it doesn’t impact this journey. I
gotta ask you.
Go ahead. What the, was that podcast, they have to be between 45 and 60 and if they’re over 60, they’re getting cut. No, he didn’t. So no, he did. I thought that his statements were shallow. Whoa. You’re gonna be the oldest man I’ve ever dated. I like the idea of roasting milk. I heard on the podcast that Mel, nice, Dave, 46-year-old, you know, and I thought to myself, that’s the first thing we have in common.
I wanted to bring a few. Props to show Mel when 60 looks like bicep number one.
We’re gonna give Mel a run for his money.
So that was the commercial, the trailer that ran yesterday on the Instagram account. And look, we knew it was coming. And the women should have, I mean, if they would’ve swept this under the WA rug, it would’ve been even more embarrassing. Wg sweep it under the W. Steve, you w We wa it. If they would’ve swept it under the rug, this would’ve been just as embarrassing as what Mel said.
We knew they had to address it, and it’s why I said what I did yesterday, not knowing that this clip was coming, but knowing that Mel. Had said in preseason interviews. Yeah. We addressed it the first night. The women called me out on it, and I think they forgave me and look, I’m sure they did, but it doesn’t change, you know?
He said it, you heard it in the very beginning of that clip, Jesse asked him. So you’re good. You’re interested in dating women over 60. Yeah. It’s about their spirit. Yeah, absolutely. Well, of course he’s gotta say that once he’s on the show. What’s he gonna say? No, I bet everything I said, bring on the 60-year-old women.
I’m cutting all of ’em. Like of course he’s not going to say, but what he said on that podcast is who Mel is and who he is interested in. And again, I’ll say it for the hundredth time, from the time I reported this story. He’s allowed to like whoever he wants. He’s not in the minority of 60-year-old men that would like to date 45 to 60-year-old women.
That’s his preference. He’s allowed to do that. My whole point was as the Golden Bachelor, maybe he shouldn’t be getting this gig. Maybe you should have removed it from him and given it to someone who doesn’t have those parameters and isn’t interested in dating someone that has to be 15, 10 to 15 years younger than him.
Because Mel can say whatever he wants on the first night and he can tell Jesse, oh yeah. It’s about more about their spirit and absolutely I’m dating, interested in dating women over 60, and Jesse says to it, well, you didn’t say that on the podcast. Like, yeah. So that’s what I’m holding my hat on is what he said on the podcast is really him.
Yeah, that’s who he is and that’s what he’s interested in and that’s perfectly fine. It’s just not perfectly fine to then get put on this show as the guy who is picking between 23 women and every single one of ’em is over 60, with one of them being 58, I believe. That’s all I’m saying. They could have easily replaced him because they hadn’t done basically any promotion for this guy.
Up to the point that that story broke in the third week of June and. It wouldn’t have been a big deal. It’s not like Mel was on a previous season and he was a fan favorite and everybody was clamoring for him. Oh my God, he has to be our Golden Bachelor. He could have just gotten somebody else and replaced him.
Hell, nobody’s watching this fucking show anyway. Like, it really matters who the Golden Bachelor is. Honestly, it doesn’t, it’s not gonna draw good ratings. I don’t care if it’s Mel or not, because we saw. The initial season with Gary Drew a crowd. The numbers that they drew, I think it aired on Thursday nights right after Paradise.
No, it aired before Paradise on Thursday nights back two years ago, and he was drawing like 4 million viewers in episode. Well, people liked Joan. They liked her from Gary’s season, and then Joan’s Golden Bachelorette season did like half that number. So I’m just telling you whether it was Mel or whether it was somebody from Joan’s season, or whether they chose a different guy and replaced Mel with somebody else that they thought was a great catch.
This show isn’t gonna draw very good numbers, especially on Wednesday night up against Survivor, up against, you know, all the other shows. It’s just, it’s just not, it’s not on anybody’s radar. A couple people have emailed me the last couple days and are like, yeah, I just, I’m not excited about this. Whether it’s what Mel said or what he did, I don’t think it matters at this point.
I just think that this format of doing a golden every season just isn’t appealing anymore. It was, it was the new shiny toy and everybody, and the ratings beared that out with Gary’s season of how well it did. But then when you had Jones next season. People didn’t seem to care. It really dropped. She got like half of Gary’s numbers.
That’s a big drop and I guarantee Mel’s numbers don’t beat Jones. I’d be surprised if they did. Maybe they’re the same as Jones. But yeah, this, this part of the franchise. You know, people can still debate whether or not the Bachelorette franchise and the Bachelor franchise is dying. I think the Goldens is done.
I just, I just don’t see this being a big deal. People aren’t excited about Mel, and people just aren’t excited about the golden itself. I think they should have replaced him. Would it have made a giant difference in the ratings? We’ll never know, because we don’t know what Mel’s numbers are gonna draw, and you can’t say, well, if it wasn’t Mel, somebody else would’ve drawn these numbers.
That’s just an opinion. There’s nothing based in fact there. Which is seemingly what a lot of people in this country like to do now when talking about ratings. But you know what I’m saying, like you can’t really compare. It’s just my opinion, but I just don’t think Mel’s numbers are gonna do very well, and we’ll see those bear out.
We’ll be able to look at the numbers every week and be like, okay, how did it do versus how Jones did? And I just think it’ll be exactly the same or probably less. 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.
