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. Good Wednesday show for you. We’re gonna talk about The Bachelorette. We have some information. Regarding the start time of Taylor, Frankie Paul’s season. In terms of when it’s going to air, it’s already started filming and for the first time in 15 years, we’re getting something different.
Maybe it’s 16, maybe it’s 17. It’s around there. It’s at least 15 years. I’m going to talk a little bit about the men from Taylor, Frankie Paul’s season as I rounded out your 26 men that were released. I also have a message regarding Taylor Frankie Paul’s season to anybody that chooses to contact me about it.
Dancing With the Stars last night, it was Halloween night. It’s always a fun show, although I’ve got some issues with it. Love is Blind reunion. It airs tonight. All the other shows are released at three in the morning on Wednesdays, the reunion show. 9:00 PM Eastern Time tonight. So that’s the earliest you can access it.
Tonight is going to be a busy night for me, that’s for sure. And I’ve got your back to the future fact of the day that we’re gonna go over. Hey, only two more days of these, don’t worry. So let’s get started Yesterday, the bachelorette A, B, C. Along with, I believe Taylor, Frankie Paul’s Instagram account and the entertainment sites put out a story saying The Bachelorette is going to premiere 2026 on March 22nd.
That’s very interesting. For two reasons. Number one, for the last, like I said, in the open 15, 16, 17 years, whatever it is.
We have known The Bachelor for the longest time. It was the first Monday in January, bachelor season started. It was like clockwork. Then when E-B-E-S-P-N and A BC got the rights to the college football playoff and NFL playoffs and they were running playoff games on Monday. That’s been, I think, the last three years, maybe four.
Anyway. The season couldn’t start until the first Monday that did not have football on it. In the month of January was available. Well, now they’re not starting till march. Basically what they’re doing is they’re swapping with American Idol. American Idol when the Bachelor started airing on Mondays. In January, it would air through mid end of March.
That’s when it ended, is when American Idol would start airing. Now they’re flip-flopping, although they are gonna be on different nights because they announced with this announcement that Taylor Frickey Paul season was going to start on March 22nd. They announced that American Idol is starting on January 26th.
So they’re starting that show two months earlier than normal, which. I don’t know if it’s still only gonna run two months and it’s gonna end. I, I think that show needs to run longer than two months. Doesn’t, it Depends if it’s running once or twice a week, I, I don’t know. They just said idle is starting January 26th, Monday, which is the first available Monday in January that doesn’t have either pro or college football on it.
And Taylor, Frankie Paul season is starting March 22nd. The other interesting thing of note about March 22nd is it’s a Sunday. So I assume, even though we don’t know a hundred percent for sure, I assume that means the whole season is gonna be airing on Sunday nights, starting in March. Again, something that we’ve never had.
We’ve never had the Bachelorette in the spring season, and we’ve never had it air on anything other than a Monday. This franchise for Bachelor and Bachelorette has always aired on Mondays. Yeah, they’ll have a Tuesday episode here and there, but it’s always been, Hey, bachelor, bachelorette season, Monday nights gotta be on A, B, C.
Then when they went to the Golden Seasons and Bachelor in Paradise, those have aired on different days of the week, but Bachelor and Bachelorette franchise, the mainstay of this franchise has always been a Monday night show. Well, now we’re just basically throwing everything against the wall and hope something sticks.
Because they’re going off the rails with a bachelorette who’s got three kids from two different men, who’s got 1.7 million followers on Instagram and 5 million TikTok followers who’s on another reality show. Now we’re gonna air it on Sunday nights. We’re not gonna start it till March. Like the whole franchise is being turned upside down.
So I don’t know what that means. I still think it’s gonna draw bigger ratings than. Any previous bachelorette season, but it’s also going to air at a time when the Bachelor and Bachelorette franchise has never aired from March until May. It’s never happened before. It’s always been Bachelor from January to March.
Then they’re filming the Bachelorette from March to May, and then the Bachelorette, you know, they’ve done a bunch of different start times. They’ve started the Bachelorette airing in May before. They’ve started it in June. They’ve started it in July. But this March to May time has always been when a season was filming.
Now it’s going to be when it’s airing and we still don’t know. Does that mean that there’s going to be Bachelor filming from March to May? We don’t know because they haven’t told us anything else about the Bachelor franchise. Obviously once we hear something, it probably won’t be till the beginning of the new year if there’s going to be a bachelor season, if there’s going to be a bachelor in Paradise, if there’s going to be another Golden Bachelor or Golden Bachelorette, we just don’t know.
Or is Taylor, Frankie Paul literally going to be the last thing we see outta this franchise? Your guess is as good as mine. We just don’t know right now. One other thing that I found interesting about Taylor, Frankie Paul, is that they’re clearly letting her have her phone. I’m not saying that means she’s on her phone and she’s looking up her men, and she’s allowed to look at spoilers or anything like that, but she posted a couple things on her Instagram story yesterday, including some sponsored content, and I think they’re just allowing her to, which again.
Franchise is really bending over backwards, seemingly for her. Yesterday was the first group date of the season. I don’t know what it was, where it was, who was on it, nothing like that. Today is the first one-on-one of the season. Hopefully if I get some information on that, I will pass it along to you. I know one thing about it, but I don’t know the location or obviously who’s gonna be on the date, but maybe something will get out or I’ll be able to share something with you.
But yeah, we’re just in a different era of this franchise because to air it from March to May and do it on Sunday nights, when this has been a Monday night show for at least the last 15 years, probably longer you’re, you’re kind of asking a lot of your fan base to switch their viewing habits. You know, obviously there’s other shows on, on Monday nights, there’s other shows on, on Sunday nights, but be really interesting.
Now that this show is a Sunday night show, although honestly it helps me a little bit because I have my poker nights on Monday nights, and I basically had an hour from between the show ending till when I start my poker game online with the guys that are all in California. So now I don’t have to worry about that.
I’m not in a rush. Sweet. But as I told you, I think a week ago. I’ll be having some news now that I know it doesn’t start till March and it’s on Sunday nights. I will be having some news in regards to how next season will be covered by me. I yesterday on my Instagram stories, which then went to my highlights on Instagram and also my Twitter account.
I gave you the last three men that I had not posted yet. In regards to Taylor, Frankie Paul’s season. Doug Mason, Marcus Richardson, and Mike Torito. They are still there. If you’re listening to this before around, I don’t know, whatever time I posted it yesterday, 6:00 PM So as long as you’re listening to this podcast before 6:00 PM even if you miss them on my Instagram stories, they’d still be up.
You can go to my highlights on my Instagram and and see them there. All 26 men that the Facebook page posted and then took down on Sunday are all on my Instagram highlights. Probably at some point this week I’ll post the men. Maybe when I find out which guys didn’t make the final cast, we know that Joe Rallo never made final casting because he was doing a podcast on Sunday night, which was the first night of filming.
So we know he didn’t make it. There might be others. It’s usually two or three that usually don’t make it from the initial cast list, so we’ll find out shortly enough at some point. I shouldn’t even say shortly enough. Sometimes I don’t know until, you know, a month later. Sometimes I find out right away, but filming began Sunday night, move in.
Was Monday group date yesterday, one-on-one today. Group date tomorrow, unless they’re doing two, one-on-ones, I don’t know. Two, one-on-ones. And a group date in the first episode, but either way, another date tomorrow, and then Rose, summer number two is coming on Friday.
