You might be listening to the Every day Roundup right here as a part of the Actuality. Steve Podcast, I’m your host actuality. Steve, thanks all for tuning in on this Monday. Bought loads of. Bachelor Nation stuff to go over. We’re gonna speak about Bachelor in Paradise arising very, very quickly. We’ve acquired the Golden Bachelor that I’ve.
I, I ought to have talked about this final week, however I simply wanna convey it up, throw it on the market. Lemme know what you assume. Carolina has spoken on TikTok and apparently she’s not going to Paradise. We’ll learn her message and I’ve acquired some ideas on American Idol’s High 14 present final night time, and we’ll get to all that momentarily.
So let’s begin out with Bachelor in Paradise. Final week I instructed you they had been going to Costa Rica to movie this yr. New location, first time. They haven’t finished it in Mexico. Within the earlier 9 seasons, they had been all in Mexico, so we all know they’re gonna Costa Rica. That was formally confirmed when Hulu had their occasion final week that lots of people went to, you already know.
And I went on the lookout for this and I, so I suppose I can’t technically show it, however I may have sworn about three or 4 weeks in the past, I acquired an electronic mail asking me to attend that Hulu occasion. After which clearly while you delete an electronic mail, not less than in my mailbox it disappears. However I feel they hit me up once more afterwards and.
I’m nearly 99% certain that I had gotten an electronic mail to attend that Hulu occasion that talked about loads of exhibits arising and all that, and I simply deleted it as a result of it was in la. I wasn’t gonna fly on the market only for an occasion, however truthfully, for what I do and everybody does their very own factor. Whether or not you could have a podcast, whether or not you could have a YouTube present, everybody does their very own factor and no shade at anyone who attended that.
However that’s simply not me. I, I don’t want or care to go to occasions the place a bunch of bachelor persons are going to be. Uh, it simply doesn’t, it doesn’t assist. Um. I do know the place I stand on this franchise, and it simply, I nearly assume Hulu had no thought what they had been doing by sending me an electronic mail and welcoming me as a result of I wouldn’t have been welcome there.
Um, it simply wouldn’t, plus I simply would’ve what proven up on my own. I don’t know any of those people who had been there. I’ve possibly spoken to some of them on-line, however I simply assume it might’ve been actually bizarre for me to be that occasion that be at that occasion. It simply didn’t. It didn’t match me. It didn’t match my model.
And I truthfully, I, like I mentioned, no shade to anyone else, however there are some people who cowl this franchise whose life’s objective is to befriend everyone that’s on this franchise. And it’s simply not for me. I don’t care if I grow to be buddies with any individual. That’s nice. And I do have buddies on this franchise, nevertheless it’s not my objective to consistently hang around with them, consistently publish with them, consistently say, Hey, take a look at me.
I’m doing this. It simply. It’s not for me. Um, and I perceive there are different people who try this, however that’s them. That’s their model. That’s what they select to do. However anyway, what was I getting at? Oh, so it was formally introduced. They made it official that they’re gonna Costa Rica. And I had instructed you final week that individuals had been gonna be leaving this previous weekend.
And for me, I simply forgot to have a look at a freaking calendar. As a result of from all the pieces that I used to be instructed, I used to be instructed persons are leaving proper on the finish of April, starting of Might. For some motive, I assumed the tip of April was this quick weekend, so I may let you know proper now, contestants are leaving this weekend and filming begins this weekend.
This upcoming weekend. So, uh, if, if I’m not mistaken, I, I do know of some individuals which are leaving Tuesday and Wednesday for Costa Rica, so clearly you gotta give them not less than a day or two for them to shoot all their head pictures and do all that, get ’em all located on the market. So filming will start, uh, Friday or Saturday in Costa Rica.
We don’t know what place it’s at but. We don’t know the resort, nevertheless it looks as if they’re being somewhat, uh, extra open, uh, about issues when it comes to letting individuals cowl it. So I suppose be looking out for that. I don’t know the way quickly after filming begins, they’re gonna launch the solid. However once more, we all know nothing with reference of what this format goes to be.
Numerous new producers, a totally new present runner who’s by no means labored within the Bachelor, bachelor franchise earlier than. All we all know is there will likely be contestants there and there will likely be golden contestants. We don’t know if they’re fully altering it up. Partially altering it up, preserving it considerably the identical because it at all times been, however including some twist to it.
We simply don’t know. In a while this week, as I begin listening to extra, hopefully, I’ll let you know the names that I’m listening to which are going, however as soon as once more, once I launch the names, it doesn’t imply that, oh, these are the one people who I do know are going. Properly, really that’s what I’m gonna do. I’m gonna simply let you know those that I do know are going versus there are others which are gonna be going.
So mainly once I put it on the market, I simply don’t need it to be, nicely, what about this individual? It’s like, look, I’m simply saying these are those I do know. It doesn’t imply that the individual you’re asking me about isn’t going or goes. I simply haven’t heard both method. So. Ultimately, you already know, that is considered one of these items the place, as a result of this present is somewhat bit completely different than the Bachelor and the Bachelorette, not less than previously seasons, as a result of we all know individuals come filtering in and they’re staggered in to the casting.
What if they modify it up this yr? What if there’s no staggered individuals being introduced in? I, I don’t assume they’re gonna try this as a result of that’s form of what separates Bachelor in Paradise. However you by no means know. ’trigger we don’t know. They don’t say something about this present ever when it comes to going into it.
So as soon as I hear extra names, I’ve acquired like. Oh, like 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13. I’ve acquired like 13 or 14 names of people who I do know which are gonna be on it. However once more, I don’t know in the event that they’re gonna be authentic solid. I don’t know in the event that they’re gonna be staggered in, I don’t know once they’re gonna be arriving, however simply people who I do know which are gonna be on the present, and loads of ’em, there’s, there’s no names on this listing which are like, oh my gosh, I had no concept that individual was going.
it, that’s not, it’s not gonna be it. I haven’t heard any, there’s not any identify on my listing that I’ve heard that’s like, wow, didn’t see that one coming. And you already know, there’s gonna be a pair, uh, that fill that function. So simply preserve that, uh, in your, in your head. They’re leaving the center of this week and filming will begin this weekend down in Costa Rica and hopefully we’ll get extra, uh, data.
However whereas this present is somewhat bit completely different. Um, spoilers often come out throughout filming and you already know, I’ll simply preserve you up to date on something I hear. And, uh, I’ll let you already know. I needed to say one thing in regards to the Golden Bachelor, Mel Owens. Uh, I’m on Courtney’s podcast. I feel she’s posting it immediately or tomorrow, however I needed to say it right here as a result of she introduced it as much as me and I forgot to say it final week.
And I, I simply wanna throw this on the market. I’ve acquired nothing in opposition to Mel Owens. I don’t know the man. However a fast Google search clearly tells you one thing very fundamental about him. Like I grew up in Southern California, Mell Owens performed for the Rams, the LA Rams, from 1981 to 1989. As soon as I noticed who he was and I heard the identify and it mentioned, oh, he was a former linebacker for the Rams, I used to be like, okay.
I form of bear in mind the identify. Like he wasn’t like this man that I watched on a regular basis on Sundays and was like, oh, he’s my favourite participant. However as soon as I heard Mel Owens former Ram. Is the subsequent golden BSer. I used to be like, okay, yeah, I kinda bear in mind his identify from the eighties. It’s 30 years in the past. I’m not gonna instantly, he’s not gonna instantly soar off to me.
However what I needed to say about Mel was this a fast Google search. We don’t know a lot about him apart from former Ram acquired into legislation afterwards and now he works with athletes who maintain accidents and are on the lookout for compensation, stuff like that. However the one factor we find out about his private life. Aside from the truth that he’s acquired two boys, I imagine they’re each in faculty or contemporary outta faculty.
He clearly is divorced and two issues in regards to the divorce. He was married for 25 years, however his spouse can also be 20 years youthful than him. I, I’d say that’s form of an enormous deal as a result of despite the fact that we’ve solely had two golden seasons. Gary’s Golden Bachelor Jones, golden Bachelorette. Each single contestant that they placed on that present competing for Gary’s love and competing for Jones’ Love was 60 years or older, aside from Kelsey’s dad, Mark Anderson, however he was 59.
So. They attempt to preserve it, there’s a motive they name it the Golden Bachelor. It’s as a result of everyone on the present is of their quote unquote golden years, which I suppose is 60 or over. We don’t know the solid of Mel’s girls but. We’re not going to, he’s in all probability not filming until July, identical to Gary and Joan did.
It’s gonna be some time earlier than they begin filming that present. A pair months. We don’t know. Are they going to alter it up? I feel you’ll damage the entire golden facet in the event that they solid a bunch of mid, uh, the late forties or early fifties girls. ’trigger that wouldn’t be the golden Bachelor now, wouldn’t it? He can be golden ’trigger he’s 66, however I’m simply placing it on the market.
I don’t know something about Mel Owens. Possibly he’s the best man on the earth and possibly this man has had finished a whole 180 since his divorce. However this man was married for 25 years. And doing my math, 66 minus 25 is 41, which implies if he was 41 when he acquired married and he’s 20 years older than his spouse, she was 21 on the time and he was 41.
All I’m saying is that this, simply throwing it on the market, which is my opinion, I’m gonna discover it exhausting to imagine that this man is serious about 60-year-old or older girls. I simply am. I don’t assume that’s a far on the market take both, contemplating the man had a spouse 20 years youthful than him and he married somebody of their early twenties when he was in his forties.
So I don’t know, however possibly they’re going to solid girls of their mid to late forties. I feel that may do the present a disservice, and I feel loads of the fan base can be turned off by that. I don’t assume. This present needs to play into the Hollywood stereotype that older males simply need youthful girls. I imply, they’d their first Golden Bachelor, Gary, who was 71 on the time, and wasn’t Theresa the one he acquired engaged to and married to 72?
Prefer it’s not like Gary. Uh, no matter you may take into consideration the man kinda caught to it. I simply don’t get the impression that Mel Owens is serious about 60-year-old girls. I suppose we’ll need to see. It’s, it’s exhausting to persuade me when he was married to somebody, 20 years his junior on the age of 41 and hell, that’s me doing the mathematics now.
He didn’t simply get divorced final yr, so far as I do know. I don’t even know when the divorce occurred. So wait a second. If he acquired divorced three years in the past, which means he acquired divorced when he was 62. 25 years from 62, places him at 37, and if he was 20 years older than his spouse, that places her at seven. Okay? I don’t wanna soar to any conclusions, however on the, at the perfect or on the worst, he was 41 and he or she was 21 once they acquired married.
And now I’m alleged to imagine this man’s serious about 60-year-old girls. Not saying he couldn’t have modified. I’m simply saying personally, I don’t know if I imagine it. I suppose I gotta watch this man in motion. I gotta hear what he says. I haven’t even heard him communicate but. Actually? I simply assume that this in all probability isn’t the best precedent to be setting on your subsequent Golden Bachelor.
Time will inform.
