Dancing with the Stars finale last night. Needless to say, can’t say two surprised at who the winner was. Robert Irwin takes home the mirror ball trophy on what they said is the most successful season in the history of the show in terms of voting. Every week they were breaking records.
They said the winner this season got more votes than any previous winner in the show’s history. I guess we have to take them at their word for that because there’s no way for them to prove that to us, which is really weird because when it airs live on the East coast, in central time, the mountain people, people living in the mountain time zone, I don’t wanna call them mountain people, but the people living in the mountain time zone and people living in Pacific.
Are voting for dances they haven’t even watched, and that’s the only way. So I’ve never really understood that, but I guess we gotta take their word for it. But Robert Irwin wins after the very first episode. I said I’d be stunned if he didn’t win last week. I said, it’s pro, it’s gonna be between him and Alex.
We know they’re gonna be the final two. I was wrong on 3, 4, 5. I think I said Riley would be, or Jordan would be fifth. Elaine would be third and Dylan would be fourth. And it ended up being Elaine fifth, Dylan fourth, and Jordan third. But Alex was second. And Robert Irwin wins the title as he keeps it in the Irwin family.
’cause his sister Bindi won it, what was it, 11 years ago? And it was just, was he the best dancer this season? Absolutely not. He wasn’t terrible by any means. He was better than Bobby Bones, but. As we know, this show is more about personality and how you connect with the audience, your story on the show, whether you have chemistry with your partner.
And I’m not saying the other four didn’t have chemistry with their partner. ’cause I think Alan and Elaine had great chemistry. Alex and Val clearly had chemistry. Dylan and Danielle. My gosh, everybody thinks that if Danielle wasn’t married, they would be together. Or even if Dylan didn’t have a girlfriend, but nobody’s surprised that Robert won this thing.
And kind of just shows the fickleness of the audience because you have people that everybody knows that Whitney Levitt was by far the best dancer on this season. But then some people complain, oh my gosh, she had professional dance experience, get her off the show, and they didn’t like her. And then Bobby Bones.
Ends up winning and people say, no, we want the best dancer to win. He wasn’t the best dancer. So it’s like, what do people want? You know, you can’t please everybody. It was no surprise. Everybody thought from the very beginning, I said it after the first episode, how can you not like Robert Irwin? How in the world is this guy not gonna win this thing?
He just has to be halfway decent. And then his story got better. He got better. The guy is literally a bundle of joy. Seems like the nicest human being walking the planet. Who doesn’t wanna vote for that? You know? But still great finale to me of the freestyle dances. I honestly thought Dylan and Danielle had the best freestyle.
I really did. Not saying no one else’s freestyle was any good. I thought they were all good. I thought Jordan’s was excellent. I just liked Dylan’s better, and Roberts was good. I felt like it was something we had pretty much seen this season already, but he’s solid and there was just a lot to it. I liked them all like it’s like one A, one B, one C, 1D, and one E.
They were all really good, but for me, I thought Dylan’s was the best freestyle dance. Now, something I read from the. Showrunner Conrad Green of Dancing with the Stars. Remember when Tom Bergeron guest hosted, or excuse me, guest judged? One of the final things he said was, bring back the results. Show You’re having so much success on this franchise.
Bring back the results Show. Well, showrunner Conrad Green was asked about the results show coming back and what Tom said, and Conrad Green didn’t even say, we’re looking into it. Conrad Green didn’t even say. That was an interesting idea. I’ll get back to you on that, Tom, wanting the results show the answer that was given by Conrad Green.
When he was asked about it, he said, I like where we’re at. That’s basically a no, and I don’t know why. Maybe he just doesn’t want to say The network won’t give us another day of the week. It’s very possible he just doesn’t wanna piss off the network. But that answer answered it clearly. He didn’t even leave it open to, we have another year before we’re back on the air with this show.
Let’s give it some time. Maybe it’s a possibility because if it was a possibility, I would think he could at least say it’s something we’ve thought about. It’s something we’re talking to the network about, but we won’t know until Q2 of next year. Something along those lines. He just said, I like where we’re at.
Pretty much tells me that there’s not going to be a results show next year. My only gripe with the finale, and I say it every season, I don’t need three hours. I understand they wanna bring back all the other dancers usually in the past, if I’m not mistaken, and I don’t know when it started, but in the past, past.
Every dancer was on this season, came back and did a solo dance, not a solo dance, but a dance with their partner to a certain song. Now they kind of said, look, I don’t know if everybody wants to see the 14th place finisher in another dance, so we’ll just throw ’em in like a medley where we get the 14th, 13th, and 12th place finishers each getting their own time on the floor, but in one dance together.
I’m fine with that. I like the way they do that, but I don’t know. I don’t need a three hour finale, but I understand why they do it, and I understand. You know, idol does a three hour finale and oh, the Voice probably does a three hour finale. Survivor does a three hour finale. Most shows do three hour finales now shows like these.
Bachelor, bachelorette, you know, we get two hours of what happened during filming and then a one hour after the final rose. So I get it. It’s just last night seemed to drag on because it’s just, just like every episode of the season, it’s one dance, it judges’ scores, commercial one dance judges’ score’s, commercial.
I, I just feel like, my gosh, there are so many commercials on this show, and three hours was a very, very long time. You know me. I do not watch Secret Lives of Mormon wives, but I’m well aware of what happened yesterday. It blew up on the internet and it has to do with Jesse and I don’t know. I’ve seen it pronounced, I’ve heard it pronounced two different ways.
Demi or Demi? She’s the one married to Brett. Brett was supposed to be on Claire season of the Bachelorette. He was in the initial cast, but then COVID hit and he was one of the few that did not come back. I remember getting pictures of him with another woman during that shutdown, during COVID, and I was curious to see if he was gonna show up when they went to La Quinta and they gave Claire a new group of guys.
And remember it was like. Basically, half of them that were in the initial cast were coming back, and then they brought a new half in. He did not come back, but I know I, I don’t know anything about him. I’m not gonna say I don’t even remember the woman he was with at that time. I’d have to go digging through old emails.
Maybe it was to me, I don’t even know. But I think what happened yesterday, from everything that I’ve gathered is just completely out of line. It’s just getting to a ridiculous point and because I’m so cynical when it comes to reality TV and storylines and stuff like this, like to me, this is all manufactured, like I don’t really believe any of it.
I’m not saying that to me and Brett don’t have some kinky shit in their sex life, which is what this is surrounding to me told. Jesse at one point, apparently two years ago, because she admitted it on her Instagram story once this blew up yesterday. Yeah. I told Dam, I told Jesse this in confidence, and she’s only telling this now two years later because of what I said about her.
It’s like, okay, but if you’re going to finally admit why, why you can’t be upset, you just confirmed it. You could have just said, I never told her that. There’s no way for her to prove it unless you think she recorded it or something. Just don’t even address it. So that’s what makes me think Demi doesn’t care whatsoever.
She’s pretending like she cares that this got out there. I don’t think she does. Hell, she told another woman in her group, she can say like, oh, I told her in confidence. I thought she was my friend. Come on. Like to me, this is just a storyline promoting the next season. I know season three of Secret Lives of Mormon wives was what just released and they’re having the reunion show, I believe next week already.
They’ve already said that season four of secret lives of Mormon wives is already coming in early 2026. They haven’t given a date, but early 2026 to mean to me means first quarter. Like they are not wasting any time. They’re gonna maybe take three months off in between seasons, which just doesn’t happen on these Bravo shows, right?
That’s pretty quick for that to happen. So, to me, I just think this is so dumb. So irresponsible of basically everybody involved. I’m not taking a side here ’cause it’s hard for me to take a side when I don’t know any of these women’s backstories or who they’re with. I read what both of them said on social media.
Jesse is saying that to me. Went to production before filming of season three and told them I will out Jesse’s affair with that Marciano guy for more money. So that’s why Demi came out yesterday and said, screw her. I know she did that. I know she went to production and said, I’ll give you a good storyline about Jesse if you pay me more.
They did. She outed, I guess, Jesse’s affair this season, and Jesse’s like, all right, well the gloves are off. I’m gonna tell a secret that you told me and that is that you like giving your husband a golden shower. There you go. At this point, it’s just to me. It’s got everybody talking and this just means everybody’s gonna tune in one to the reunion show.
And two, if none of this is brought up on the reunion show, which I’m guessing it wasn’t ’cause it was already filmed, it’s gonna be a major storyline of season four, which is coming out looking like Q1 of 2026. And finally, did you see Kate Beckinsale on Jimmy Kimmel’s show the other night? She just went out there as a guest, you know, shooting the shit with Jimmy Kimmel and he asked her about her daughter, who’s 26, has a boyfriend, and she said he’s literally the only bright spot last few years.
’cause both of her parents passed away. And Jimmy’s like, oh, that’s very nice. She’s like, yeah, he laid two eggs in a week and that was what the bright spot was. And then she just proceeds to tell this story about how her daughter’s boyfriend. Laid two eggs in a toilet, like he didn’t. And everyone’s sitting here like, oh, she’s just telling a joke.
And at the end she’s just gonna make fun. No, I watched the whole interview. Now maybe she’s just a jokester and she’s going to eventually say, guys, I’m kidding. But what I’m saying is if you watch the interview, there was nothing about her that was kidding. She was dead serious. She said that he laid two eggs, eggs that came out of his bottom.
She, he broke the eggs ’cause he wanted to see what was in them and there was yoke in them. And I’m just sitting here going, what was the point of telling that story, number one. Number two, if it’s true, how is this even possible? Number three, if she says, I’m just joking, why didn’t she just say it that night?
To have this linger like cap back and sale doesn’t need to go on TV to fabricate stories to get attention for herself. She is one of the more respected and popular actresses that we’ve seen. What, what? I’m just so confused on what the hell this was all about. What was the point of this to say your daughter’s boyfriend, who none of us even know, laid eggs in a toilet, just.
Our world has gone completely mad. This is such a social media world that we’re living in. We got golden showers being talked about on social media yesterday between the Secret Lives of Moron Wives, women, and they got Kate Beckinsale the other day talking about how her possible future son-in-law delivered eggs in the toilet.
I dunno what to do anymore. I really don’t. That’s why I just stick to, Hey, let’s talk about Jesse Spano OD-ing on caffeine pills. They wanted to make it seem like she was on drugs and that she was dead and that you could die from caffeine pills. I’m no doctor. I don’t think you can. I mean, maybe, I guess if you took 200 of them at one time in the episode, they literally showed Jesse taking two.
And we technically don’t even see a pill in her hand. She has a bottle, it’s got pills in it. She dumps a bottle in her hand and then puts her hand up to her mouth, and then it has a drink of water. So we assume that she took one, but we never see any pills, and it was Saturday morning. There’s probably a reason why we couldn’t see it.
Anyway, here I am having fun playing the nostalgia game, reliving my childhood, and yet. What’s going on in the social media world and the popular shows is golden showers and men delivering eggs that have yoke in them. I give up. I really do. Anyway, thank you all for listening.
