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 Friday. Good show for you. Heading into the weekend. I’m gonna talk about the Golden Bachelor. I finally watched it. Episode two yesterday. I wanna talk a little bit more about Love is Blind Special Forces.
Last night we’ve got a major, major event. I don’t know if we wanna call it an event, but Story came out yesterday, I put it on my
Twitter account in regards to 9 0 2 1 oh. And yes. Taylor Swift, the life of a showgirl is out. I’ll give you my thoughts. We’ll get to all that right now. So first off, before we get to Mel season, I do wanna say this. I put it on my Twitter account. We don’t know any details yet, but TMZ reported yesterday that former bachelorette danced with the Stars winner.
Melissa Rycroft was arrested for DWI on September 23rd. Again, we don’t know any details. We don’t know what she blew. Her mugshot is online posted by TMZ. Um, I think it’s fair to say that we don’t even have to know what her blood alcohol level was to know that she seemed to be pretty drunk that night based on that mug mugshot, my gosh, that was one of the worst mugshots I’ve ever seen.
It was just bad. I mean, she looked wrecked. And, you know, you hope nobody was injured. You hope she’s not injured. Uh, and I’m sure TMZ will get ahold of some body cam footage at some point. They seem to get ahold of everything about every story. So it’s an unfortunate story and hopefully, you know, she learns her lesson or she learned her lesson.
Hope nobody was hurt. But yeah, that story, uh, broke yesterday by TMZ. It happened basically 10 days ago. And oh, I guess it was close to her home as well. So we don’t know any details of how many people were in the car, were her kids in the car, was she by herself? Where was she coming from? All that stuff.
I’m sure Melissa will take to Instagram and uh, give a social media post about it, I would think. But that’s all we know as of now. I watch the Golden Bachelor. Episode two yesterday. I just don’t think I’m gonna get around to it. Watching it Wednesday nights, especially with Love is Blind. Releasing their episodes on Wednesdays.
Now next week there’s only three, and then the following week is two, I believe, and then the reunion show, but with Survivor, and I’m enjoying the amazing race this season. This is only the second season I’ve ever watched of that show. Obviously I’m watching it because it’s all people that I’ve seen on Big Brother.
Obviously Kat, my ex is on it. It’s been fun watching her on there because it’s just, I don’t know, it is just funny. I mean, it’s like, how she is on that show is exactly how I know Kat to be. Uh, so I just, I’m getting a kick out of it and the. So I, I, I’d rather watch those Wednesday night. Like I just don’t think Golden Bachelor is a priority where it has to be watched on Wednesday night, at least for me.
So I’m probably gonna get to it on Thursday afternoons and then talk about it on Fridays. But, you know, through two episodes. Here’s my main thought about this, and again, there’s nothing they can do at this point. The season has already shot. For those asking literally every Wednesday night or Thursday after you watch the episode.
Where are the spoilers? I don’t have any. If I did, I You would have them. I would give them right away. I just don’t, I haven’t heard anything. Well, I shouldn’t say that. I haven’t heard anything. I feel comfortable confirming. That’s the best I can give you. The only thing I have is Peg has next week’s one-on-one date where they went to the Orange County Fair and they got on stage with Casey in the Sunshine Band.
And then we have Debbie at a one-on-one date in Red Rock Cal in Colorado at the Red Rock Amphitheater. She did yoga. At Red Rock and I think Red Rocks, and I’m pretty sure now we can confirm that’s a hometown date. ’cause I doubt anybody gets two one-on-ones before hometown. So Debbie clearly gets a hometown date, but watching two episodes of this, my thought is again, we can’t change anything.
Season’s already been filmed, but A, B, C went out of the way to say, here’s your Golden Bachelor. And they never have to give a rhyme or reason to anything that they do. It’s like, here’s our decision, live with it. They’ve never made somebody the Bachelor or the Bachelorette or the Golden Bachelor or the Golden Bachelorette, and the uproar from the audience was so loud that they said, you know what?
Yeah, we’ll change it. It’s like. They just give it to us and you can choose. I’m either gonna watch this person or I’m not. So with Mel, nobody knew who he was When they announced him at that Hulu event back in April, nobody knew who he was in terms of being on a previous show. If you followed Rams football in the eighties, you remembered the name.
I kind of remember the name growing up in Southern California during that time, but it’s not a name that I had ever thought of since the mid eighties, so just hearing his name, I was like, okay, yeah, I think I remember that guy playing for the Rams. Heard his name, watched him, because I watched a lot of Rams games growing up because here’s the thing, he’s our bachelor, he’s our golden bachelor, and nothing can change about it.
My thing is. Why, and I’m not even talking about what he said on the podcast. That’s over and done with. Clearly the show didn’t care. Okay, fine. This has nothing to do with what he said on the podcast. This has everything to do with, did he someone in the A, B, C, uh, higher ups, did executives there? Does he know somebody?
Does somebody owe him a favor? Like why was he chosen? What about Mel through two episodes goes makes you go, oh, I get it. I know exactly why they chose him because I can’t think of one thing. He’s got the personality of a doorknob, like there’s just nothing about him that’s like, yeah, I totally get it.
You know, for a 66-year-old man, he’s in great shape, good looking guy. Is he Don Juan? No, but he’s not the elephant man either. He’s a good looking guy. Great. But does that guy’s personality jump off the screen to you? Does that guy in conversation with the women, be like, wow, this is a very engaging guy? I could totally see why they wanted him as our golden bachelor, and to me the answer is just no.
I just don’t understand what his appeal is. And again, I’m eliminating what he said on the podcast. I’m just talking about looking at these two episodes and not even bringing up what he said on the podcast. What about Mel? Is the reason he’s our golden bachelor because we had no backstory to actually get behind him.
And be like, oh, okay. Joan dumped him at the final two. Joan dumped him at the final three. Joan dumped him at the Final Four. Whatever makes sense. He’s our Golden Bachelor. No, they just chose the guy and said, here’s your Golden Bachelor, and we know nothing about him and there’s nothing about him through two episodes that jumps off the screen to me, and I can’t imagine there’s anything that jumps off the screen to you either.
He’s just a guy and he’s just there. Very, very bizarre. You are never gonna believe this, but Susan and Kathie made an appearance on the Golden Bachelor. I know. Crazy to think. Right? The same. Susan and Kathie that went on the almost famous podcast and trashed Gary and basically said neither of them liked him from the very beginning.
Okay. Can can we move on from them? Seriously, like they don’t need to be everywhere because they’re literally showing you who they are. Now, by trashing Gary, you don’t have to like Gary, but kind of funny, when both of them were on the women Till all and when they were making the rounds after their season, they never set into this stuff.
Now they’re a year removed and basically saying, yeah, I had no intention of ever moving to Indiana. Great. Uh, again. Do they have something O on A, B, C? Do they have pictures of executives at A, B, C in compromising positions? Because, I don’t know, it’s kind of over it. They don’t have to be on every single season, the show does.
That’s all I’m saying. 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.
