?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 Thursday. Got an update on the weekly podcast and I’m spent a lot of time talking about Love Is Blind. Episodes seven, eight, and nine. That came out yesterday.
I don’t even know if I’m gonna get to anything else ’cause I got so much to go over on. Love Is Blind. Maybe I’ll get to Golden Bachelor, which I actually did watch for the first time this season on the night that it aired and I’ll probably save Survivor till tomorrow, but it looks like it’s going to be mostly love is blind, so let’s get started.
Just wanna let you know there is no weekly podcast today. That’s ’cause I’m recording it today. Maybe I’ll just post it later tonight. And it is going to be with Big Brother 27 Alumni three time Player, Rachel Riley. So I’m recording with Rachel today and I’ll probably either throw it up tonight or I’ll put it out tomorrow.
Uh, just follow me on my socials and you’ll know, I mean to say we’ve got a lot of stuff to talk to Rachel about would be an understatement so much to talk to her about. I have not spoken to her outside of texting her saying, can you come on the podcast? So recording with her today and it’ll be up tonight or tomorrow.
We shall see. Alright, let’s talk about it. Love is blind. Episodes seven, eight, and nine came out yesterday. Next Wednesday we get 10 and 11. The following Wednesday, October 22nd, we get the finale. And then I’m assuming the reunion show is going to be Wednesday the 29th. Let just say this, I was 1000% convinced.
Before going into yesterday’s episodes, one of these five couples was gonna break up like so sure of it because they’re all a hot mess. There’s one couple that’s kind of normal and even I don’t think they’re gonna make it, but nobody broke up. All five couples are still together now. All of them seem to be hanging on by a.
Thread and all of them seem to have major, major issues, but they’re all there. They’re all still together after the three episodes. Yesterday, and I’ll be honest with you, I didn’t think yesterday’s three episodes had enough drama. We got stuff here and there, but I don’t know. For some reason I thought it would be worse.
I really did. Had its moments, but I thought it’d be worse. So I guess we just need to go down each couple and just kind of go over what happened to them in these three episodes. The first one I wanna talk about is Annie and Nick.
In case you didn’t know, Annie wants Nick. Annie doesn’t need Nick, but she wants him. She loves him, like she’s never loved anybody else in her life. It seems like Annie just wants to be married so much and she just refuses to see any red flags whatsoever with Nick, yet she’s constantly needing validation.
That conversation in Mexico like just kept going in a circle. Because Nick wouldn’t tell her what she wanted to hear, even though he was kind of saying it. Whether you believe him or not is a different story, but she was basically saying, you’re the one that doesn’t think you love me as much as I love you.
He was saying that to her ’cause she was like, I love you so much. I love you. I mean, the amount of time she told Nick. I love you. I want to be with you. I love you so much. I love you more than you love me. And it just, it just became this passive aggressive poke at him about how he doesn’t love her as much as she loves him, which means that he must not be serious about the relationship.
It was very much a self sabotage, and I, if I’m Nick, I’m very frustrated among other things, not just with Annie. But she kept saying it over and over the whole episode. I love you. I’ve never loved anyone as much as I’ve loved you, which to me, if I’m Nick, that’s a giant red flag. Not saying she’s not allowed to love him, but come on Annie.
For 10 days you didn’t even know what the guy looked like. Then a few days in Mexico, you’ve been back in Denver, what, five, seven days? And you’re saying she’s ne you’ve never loved anyone as much as you’ve loved this man who you barely know, it’s just not believable. Unless Annie just hasn’t had any serious relationships in her life, I guess that’s possible.
I know nothing about her dating past. So maybe someone like her isn’t very experienced in relationships and that’s why she is saying it, but it’s utterly ridiculous the way she acted last night. And it really seemed like she was trying to pick fights. Of course it could have been because she was drinking, maybe she was drunk.
’cause it seemed like one of those arguments you get into when you’re drunk and you just don’t know what else to do and you, because that, that argument in the bed in Mexico went over and over and it just never ended. They got nowhere and I just didn’t understand. What she was trying to get at other than she wanted him to say, no.
I what? I mean, what did she want him to say? No, I love you more than you love me. And then she would’ve just responded with, no, you don’t, you have no idea how much I love you. So I, I kind of threw my hands up on that couple and I, I’m just sitting here going, this isn’t gonna work out. I wanna move on to Megan and Jordan.
I. When I said in the open, there might be one couple that’s somewhat normal in all this. I think it’s these two, and I still think these two have issues. And my view from afar, and I pointed this out last week when I talked about the episodes. They have so much footage, obviously, of all these couples, so what they choose to show us is very important, and the fact that they chose to harp so much on Megan, understanding it’s not easy to become a stepmom and step into that role and meet Luca’s mother and all that.
It seemed like that’s all their conversations centered around in yesterday’s episodes, which makes me think that is going to ultimately be the reason why Meghan and Jordan either never make it down the aisle, never or never make it break up before wedding day, or maybe they did get married. But are no longer together.
I just, I, I don’t see them long term and I really do think she might’ve bitten off more than she can chew. I think she’s trying to convince herself she’s ready to be a stepmom, but as they’re getting closer and as she’s starting to realize, which is why they keep showing her talking about it. Makes me think there’s a reason they keep showing her talking about it and her trepidations about it.
It’s because it’s probably ultimately the reason they break up, but just my opinion. Again, I know no spoilers about this. The other thing that we need to discuss in regards to this relationship is what in the hell Jordan put in that neutral bullet? Did he really put a frozen piece of chicken and crystal light?
And water into a neutral bullet and just turn it on and mix it up. I’ve never seen that before in my life. Is this a real thing? Is this something like, if you need some sort of protein in your life, just eat chicken. Why do you have to put it in a neutral bullet with crystal light? That looked absolutely disgusting?
It certainly seemed disgusting to Meghan Sparkle. Meg basically yanked that thing up in the kitchen sink. That was the grossest thing I’ve ever seen. I, I’ve seen people mix up stuff in blenders before, some weird concoctions. I mean, it was pretty simple. It was only two things. It was crystal light and chicken, but.
W, why just eat the chicken? Totally bizarre. This podcast is brought to you by Zocdoc.

Steve zocdoc.com/reality. Steve, let’s move on to Joe and Madison. When we last left these two, Joe was completely obliterated in Mexico from drinking too much was nonsensical in every single thing that he said to Madison. Which caused her to sleep in the other room. ’cause she couldn’t even be near this guy.
They woke up the next morning, he basically admitted, yeah, I drank too much, apologized, whatever. But there is something about Joe and his body language and shit, the things that actually come flying out of his pie hole that makes me think he’s out. He’s not marrying her. If they, again, if they got married at the end of this thing, no way.
They’re still together. I, I just don’t see it. He, you talk about a guy that literally doesn’t know what to say to women, a woman during an argument. I mean, the amount of times that he put his foot in his mouth, whether it was in Mexico, and then they got back when they give in their apartment in Denver and they had another argument.
Where he is just like, well, okay, I’ll just keep all of my emotions inside then. And she’s like, no, that’s not what I want from you. He’s like, well, what do you want me to do? Like I didn’t think Madison was being illogical during any of that. I just think Joe is slowly planting the seeds of trying to get outta this relationship without blatantly just coming out and saying, I don’t wanna be with you.
I’m pretty sure. These two are not together and never got to gather. Like maybe they got to the altar, but I, I just can’t imagine despite what Joe says over and over, no, I love you. No, I’m in this. Actions speak louder than words and his actions and his body language do not add up at all. With how he’s acting on the show and the things that he is saying to Madison because he seems to be in full self-sabotage mode when it comes to this marriage or it comes to this engagement.
I’m just not buying what he’s selling. And then when they had the mixer in episode nine and he was in a confessional and basically shit, talking, Nick, by the way, we found out in the mixer, Nick is not well liked by anybody. Which I think will ultimately lead to Nick and Annie, not making it down the aisle.
But Nick isn’t liked by any of the women and the guys don’t like him. But even in that confessional Joe is so scatterbrained and so drunk again, then I’m like, this guy can’t seem to carry his liquor very well. So Joe and Madison? Yeah. I don’t buy them for a second. There really isn’t much to say about Anton and Allie because this just seems like a clear case of Ally is looking for a sugar daddy, if that’s what she wants, that’s fine.
If Anton is gonna provide that, and that’s the relationship they want to have to each their own, but. I get the sense that Anton is starting to see that and he didn’t get any of that vibe in the pods and now he’s getting that vibe again. I don’t really see them together long term. And Anton likes himself some strip clubs and he was hitting up the strip clubs with his boy four months before he even went on the show.
And Ally’s like, yeah, I’m not down with that. Do I really think that he’s changed? Not to mention Anton seems to drink a lot, so again, another couple that I just am not feeling at all, and I feel like we know them the least of the five couples, but as they move into their apartment in Denver, provided by the show, we’re starting to see the, the, the cracks in that relationship and.
The alley that we’re seeing in Denver in their apartment is not the alley that presented herself to Anton in the pods. Let’s be real. Edmond and kb. You know, when they had their argument in Mexico that ended in episode six, last week’s episodes. That was the cliffhanger was. Him saying, I’m too fucking nice, too fucking nice.
So bizarre, weirdest reaction I’ve ever seen on this show in the four Seasons that I’ve watched.
Edmond is 1000% emotionally immature, and he needs. To talk to somebody, and I’m sure this stems from his past. This kid was in and out of the foster care system, so I’m sure that plays a major role in why he is emotionally stunted. I don’t think it takes a rocket scientist or someone with a PhD to diagnose that.
I can see that just watching nine episodes of a television show, he still acts like a child. KB is so put together and so well spoken. I’m stunned that she either, I don’t know, maybe production behind the scenes tells these people, I don’t really know how it works on this show. Maybe they tell these people, Hey, stick it out.
Stick it out. Wait till wedding day, and if you’re still not feeling on a wey day, then dump the person. But I’m stunned that KB. First off in Mexico, I’m stunned. She didn’t turn to production or turn to the cameraman and say, can you please remove me from the situation because I don’t feel uncomfortable around this.
Like to me, that’s how bad it was. And then how does she not see, I mean I guess she’s starting to see it at the mixer. She basically walked out on him. She’s gotta start to see that this, there is no way she’s going to eat that guy alive. She can’t have a relationship like that where. She is going to control every single thing that they do.
She’s going to have all the power in the relationship. There’s not a 50 50 there, and I just don’t think Edmond is man enough for her, and she’s starting to kind of express that. But he is just so emotionally behind her. I, I’m just shocked that she hasn’t. Seen it yet to the point where she has ended it really, really surprised.
They haven’t ended it. I think the mixer had its moments, but the problem was with all these people doing interviews, we knew that Casey wasn’t gonna be part of the mixer. And Anna had already done interviews and Patrick had already done interviews. So we kind of knew while they were gonna see each other and talk at the mixer.
We knew that they seemingly aren’t together. The interesting thing with Patrick and Anna was him basically telling her, you were my number one. Which goes back to what I said yesterday in talking about what Casey has said in interview. She’s like, oh, watching it back, it’s clear. I was number two. And she’s using that as the excuse why she is not with Patrick anymore, and I’m, and I’m just saying like that she didn’t know that at the time.
Of the filming when she was doing all the stuff that she was doing a day after the reveal, and she’s already saying, I can’t get there. The attraction is not gonna grow from here. That has nothing to do with Anna. You can’t use, oh, well, he clearly wanted to be with Anna, and I was second choice anyway, so it was good that I did what I did.
No, doesn’t work that way. But nothing really happened at the mixer. I mean, Megan basically told Michael, I didn’t make a mistake. Yeah. You know, Michael asked her, she’s like, no. So she put Michael in his place. That guy’s a little too cocky for his own good now. Just went over every couple. I will say this, when it showed the trailer for what’s coming in the rest of the season, I did sit there and stop.
Pause to see, okay, who’s there on wedding day? And here’s what I came up with. I’m not even a hundred percent sure, but here’s what I did see. I was just looking at wedding day stuff. ’cause all other stuff could be taken. Well, we don’t know when that is. So I was like, well, wedding day, who’s there? Joe and Anton are shown in suits now.
I guess you could kind of look at it as like, well, what if it was the suit that they tried on when you know they have that one segment where Nick comes and talks to all the guys and they’re trying on suits and they’re friends and there’s just a big J off fest. You know, and they’re just like, oh, this guy’s great and this is, uh, this, I’m, I’m so happy for him and all that stuff.
So it’s, I guess it’s possible that the suit we saw Joe in was when he was trying it on with the guys. But I noticed two guys in Suits and that was Joe and Anton. And we actually do see Anton on the altar. So we know that Anton makes it to wedding day. Joe, I’m pretty sure makes it to wedding day as well.
’cause I think we see him walking out or. Somebody saying, where’s Joe? Then we see KB and Madison in wedding dresses, and I believe those are on wedding day. We do see Megan in a wedding dress, but it looks like that could be from the fitting, so I’m not a hundred percent certain to put Megan on wedding day yet.
There are two people, obviously one couple that clearly. From everything that I saw in that preview were not shown in a suit or in a wedding dress and on wedding day, and that’s Nick and Annie, which makes sense to me because they’re almost, again, they’re choosing to show Annie being so head over heels in love.
And so, oh my gosh, I love this man more than anything in the whole world. They’re showing it so much, which makes me think. That’s why they’re showing it so much to get the shock factor when these two don’t last. Then again, I think most people that are watching the show are like, I don’t think any of these couples are lasting.
There’s no way. I’m the only one that thinks this. Right. There’s no way anybody sees any of these couples as solid. But yes, when I paused, the only people that weren’t in a suit or in a wedding dress were Joe and Annie, or not Joe. Sorry, Nick and Annie. But Megan is in a dress, a wedding dress. But that could be from the fitting.
That’s like the days before. But we know Anton is on wedding day. We know KB and ’cause we also see Edmund sitting, uh, standing there at the altar. But so my guess is four of the five. At least get to wedding day, but I can’t say all four of ’em walk up there and look at each other and make a decision.
There is a possibility that Joe ends it with Madison and doesn’t even walk down the aisle. But we know Anton is there standing there and we know Edmond is standing there. Joe and Madison, question Mark. Jordan and Megan. Question Mark, Nick and Annie. I don’t think. Make it to wedding day and they probably break up because I do remember them sitting in their apartment, him very sad, him questioning her, her crying.
They’re probably your best bet. Breakup in episode 11 or uh, 10 or 11 coming out next Wednesday, and then maybe two couples get to wedding day. And probably break it off. Or maybe one of ’em does get married and they’ve broken up since, ’cause remember this was filmed 18 months ago. But I, I just, I can’t imagine.
I, let me know if you think I’m off. Let me know if any of you think that any of these couples, either A, do get married, or b, if they did get married, are they still married today? Because I’m just not seeing it with any of them. I don’t even think it’s close. Like, I would be really stunned if any of them did get married that day, 18 months ago.
You know, I would’ve said, Jordan and Meghan are my closest, but I’m having major doubts about them, and I think it’s gonna be because of what they’ve shown, which is, I don’t know if Meghan truly is ready or wants to be a stepmom. I guess we need to see her meet Crystal, the mother of Jordan’s son, Luca.
Maybe they’re gonna show that next week. They’re clearly not gonna show Luca on camera, so maybe we see that next week and then maybe it sets in with her that I am, I can’t do this now. I don’t know of all these couples, I don’t know who ends it between them, but if I had to guess between Joe and Madison, I, I would guess Joe, between KB and Edmond, I would certainly guess kb.
And between Annie and Nick, probably Nick Anton and Allie. Mm Gosh. They’re just such a nothing couple to me this season. I, I don’t even know who would end it. Maybe it’s a mutual thing. I just think that. Because I, you know, my take on Ali is, especially after these three episodes that came out yesterday, clearly she’s looking for a sugar daddy.
But my take on Anton is I don’t know if he would be against that. So that’s why I don’t know if he would break it off with her, because I think he’s really into her looks and I think he likes the way she looks. And he would go through with a marriage. Because of her, and it’s just a matter of if she sees it with him and if she thinks that he can be the provider that she seemingly wants, and I don’t know, but they don’t look to be on any solid ground whatsoever.
But my gosh, if they get married, I’d be stunned if they’re still together. I really would. All right. We’re gonna talk Golden Bachelor and Survivor tomorrow just because. So much love is blind to go over. Anyway, thank you all for listening. I really appreciate it. Follow me on Apple Podcast. 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. And like I said, weekly podcast, I believe it’s 4 64. I’m recording today with Rachel Re from Big Brother 27. We’re gonna jump into a lot of stuff. Especially stuff going on post show. I want to get her take on it. I know she was just on with Sharon Tharp and had a great conversation with her.
I’ve seen a lot of the clips of that. I’m gonna try not to repeat any questions that Sharon had for her, but I get that it’s almost impossible not to, ’cause not everybody that listens to me listens to Sharon Tharp and vice versa. Sharon did a great interview with her of the clips that I did see, but I’m gonna cover what I want to cover.
I was taking notes all season thinking I was gonna talk to Rachel at some point. So I’ve got notes that I had in my phone all season long, like, because if I didn’t write them down at the time, I would’ve, I would’ve never remembered them. So I wrote them down to be like, be sure to ask Rachel this. Be sure to ask Rachel this.
So we’ll talk to Rachel today. Chances are, I’ll probably post it later tonight. It makes the most sense. Uh, there’s no reason to wait till, uh, Friday, right? So let me, uh, I’ll post that later tonight. I don’t know what time. Maybe like eight or nine o’clock Eastern time. And uh, but follow me on my socials and you’ll know when that’s coming.
Anyway, thank you all for listening. I really appreciate it, and I will talk to you tomorrow. See you.
