I wanted to bring up the “Men Tell All” right off the bat since we now have a date on when it’s airing. As I mentioned, the “Men Tell All” was filmed a couple weeks ago and they flew the guys out to Nemacolin to do it. None of Tayshia’s final four of Ivan, Brendan, Ben, or Zac were in attendance. I can also now report that, well, barely anyone was there. There were only 9 guys in attendance. I know of six who were definitely there: Jason, Yosef, Demar, Ed, Bennett, and Noah were for sure there. I don’t know who the others were. So a 9 person MTA with one guy who never even met Tayshia (Yosef), and one guy who barely met her and eliminated himself (Jason), just seems quite bizarre. But we’ll see how it goes. There’s always drama, we know that. And with Yosef there, and me already reporting that he didn’t take back his behavior, well, there’s some drama already. So now … Continue reading →

Is Thanksgiving overrated, underrated, or not rated? I like the holiday. I do. I like food, so naturally, a holiday that gives me turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole, stuffing, and some other side dishes I ignore pretty much will always be a good time. But people really love to chime in on this holiday and rating it versus others. Not sure I understand that one. Like, does it matter? One of the most memorable Thanksgivings I ever had was back in 2001. I working in LA sports radio, I was basically a fill-in guy, so naturally on Thanksgiving day, they gave me and A Martinez (still on in LA radio by the way, so shout out to my boy A. “Choco cake, choco cake, eat so much get a tummy ache”) the 3-7 pm shift that night. On Thanksgiving Day. So I missed all festivities with family and ended up ordering from Boston Market on the way home. You know what? Not too shabby. Then … Continue reading →

Usually I don’t begin my recaps with talk of ratings, but I figured this week I would since I don’t think I’ve mentioned them the last two weeks. And those two weeks did EXCELLENT for the show. Episode #4, which was the Clare/Dale engagement, drew 5.3 million viewers and a 1.5 rating, which was their best episode of the season yet. Then last week, episode #5, they set a new season high with 5.4 million viewers and a 1.6 rating. However, all that momentum gained in episodes 4 & 5 was lost last night as ratings dropped a full million viewers (4.4 million) and a 1.3 rating, which were essentially the numbers they drew in the first three episodes. Clare’s first three episodes averaged 4.4 million viewers across the board and a 1.3 rating. No cause for alarm because it’s not like the show is on the verge of being canceled, but I’m just telling you not to expect any “Hey Bachelor Nation, you’re … Continue reading →
