Listed below are your “Reader Emails” for this week…

Hey Steve,

What do you consider the chilly open that they do for bachelorette? And the way they do the subsequent episode preview throughout the credit? I do know I’m a no-name Sally Sue, however I personally hate it. The chilly open is simply too sneaky and for those who’re with mates and never paying consideration, then you definitely miss it. I additionally missed the goofy finish credit! That’s the one time we noticed snippets of personality-those moments gave us Magi watching Matt awkwardly dance, Magi within the pumpkin canoe getting caught, and Jesse Palmer within the pool telling the women to kick rocks whereas consuming KFC!

Remark: The chilly open is no matter to me, however I agree, them eliminating the blooper or comedy second from the episode on the finish is a miss on their half. Why not lighten the temper on the finish after they’ve taken themselves so significantly for the earlier two hours?

Howdy Steve,

Have you ever seen the current article that Josh Seiter did not too long ago. Apparently they’ve come out as Trans, extra energy for residing their reality, however commenting about how the present wants Trans illustration, they usually want to be the primary Trans lead of the present?

Ideas?

Remark: Not giving him the time of day. And sure, I mentioned him. He’s trolling everybody.
_____________________

Any phrase what occurred to the podcast referred to as Suckers with Jared and Dean? It was the entire sudden with out warning. No closure!

Remark: By no means adopted it. Do not know.

Hey Steve,

Concerning the Kaitlyn drama, as soon as the information got here out that Kaitlyn and Tayshia have been by no means mates, I modified my view on whether or not or not Kaitlyn violated woman code by courting Zac. Was it odd that Kaitlyn compelled tayshia to open up about it on stage in a clumsy scene, after which dated Zac? Certain. But when Tayshia allegedly by no means preferred Kaitlyn, did that violate woman code? I’ve no drawback with them courting. They have been each single. However on the identical level, in the event that they weren’t mates, why did Kaitlyn contact Tayshia to get a “pulse examine,” like she mentioned? She’s not your good friend. And it clearly didn’t matter to her what Tayshia considered it since Kaitlyn was gonna do what she wished to do anyway. Her being bothered that Tayshia was upset at her courting her ex-fiance was head scratching.

As for the feedback on the pod that mentioned Tayshia should not be pleased in her relationship as a result of she was upset with Kaitlyn over Zac, you can say the identical about Kaitlyn… regardless of Jason shifting on wayyyy later than Kaitlyn, she’s nonetheless upset that he’s proud of Kat. She allegedly blocked Shawn from paradise, and was so jealous and indignant when he and his accomplice acquired pregnant. My entire essential level although is that if one other contestant dated Shawn or Jason, we’d by no means hear the top of it. On her pod or on insta.

Remark: She says she isn’t bothered. Wrote that in her FB group. However she would’ve talked about it on her pod non cease if it have been the opposite method round. That’s why I’m having hassle comprehending her response to this.
_____________________

Are you stunned Matt and Rachael are nonetheless collectively? I like them however am curious for those who assume he’s ever going to ask her to marry him? It’s been awhile. I might hope so for Rachael’s sake.

Do you assume Sam M went in with the mindset of getting an honest edit and changing into the bachelor or did he simply need to have the ability to dump Jenn and never be damaged up with? All of us knew he was leaving, however the entire episode on the radio station date was awkward.. he appeared indignant he couldn’t set the narrative and break up w her. I don’t get this man.. and his household is unusual, too. I have to say I feel he deliberate to get a hometown after which inform her he couldn’t proceed as a result of he wasn’t there along with her but. Ideas? What do you assume a hometown for Sam would’ve been? Hmmmm, most likely his household sitting round telling Jenn how nice Sam is could be my guess.

Was Sam N (love Virgin) simply being form of obnoxious on the group date he was despatched residence on function or is he naive? I hated a variety of the opposite guys, they have been bullies, but why was he so tone deaf? He left a trophy on the sofa and Marcus needed to stand.. wasn’t it odd? I’m certain he was very naïve to the method and was strictly approaching the present to assist his TikTok profession.

Ideas on love is blind or do you watch it?

Remark: This final season? UK? I watched season 6 as the primary full season I’ve watched. I’ve hassle with the pod episodes. It simply appears completely ridiculous to me. As soon as they meet and “date” after engagement is extra attention-grabbing to me.

Hello Steve,

Do you have got any perception about final nights Fantasy Suites? I don’t perceive how Jenn finally ends up with Devin. She states she is in love with Marcus even after Devin tells her he’s in love. She makes no feedback in her interviews that she is in love with Devin, solely Marcus. How does she find yourself with Devin, is he her sloppy second as a result of Marcus isn’t prepared.

I hope that’s not the case, Devin deserves her entire coronary heart!

Remark: Effectively, this was despatched earlier than final nights episode aired. You see that she informed Devin she cherished him when he came around.

Howdy Steve!

You mentioned in your weblog you felt after the in a single day dates that Devin solely wished to win.. I have to say I actually disagree- I didn’t see that notion being strengthened at all-the complete polar reverse for me.. he got here off fairly legit and sincere- I’d prefer to assume I learn folks well- I noticed no insincerity or ‘desirous to win it’ all of it in him.. sorry, love you, although I feel you’re incorrect. He legit got here off harm. I felt for him. I do know she selected him, and I want to see them work out at this level.. and I used to be not a Devin fan.. I stored searching for insincerity and I have to say, I’m not seeing that aspect. We’ll comply with disagree on that one.

Are you aware of Spencer was ever actually thought-about for bachelor? He had an incredible edit and I assumed he was fairly cute. grant is okay, although. I might see both within the lead. He appears effectively rounded. Relies upon what you imply by “thought-about?” Was he interviewed for it? Certain. However as I say each season, solely the one that will get the gig actually issues. It’s irrelevant who was interviewed or who was “shut” to getting it. They didn’t. Spencer will 100% be in Paradise, assuming he’s not in a relationship.

Are they filming on the previous bachelor mansion once more or is that performed? It’s in the marketplace, sure? If it bought, are they securing a brand new common location?! It looks like they need to have a daily web site for the primary few episodes. Wouldn’t new mansion be in the identical neighborhood? They did for Joan’s season. We gained’t know for just a few weeks if they may for Grant’s season, so we simply have to attend.

I’m kinda shocked at Kaitlyn saying the crap she did within the podcast- I nonetheless like her, nonetheless comply with her.. however it appeared actually off.. what do you assume Zac thinks of it? Is he okay w that? It appears a bit juvenile for somebody like him, who could be very mature.

Thanks for spoiling the season.

Remark: Yeah, I don’t know what Zac thinks since neither of them have publicly acknowledged their relationship publicly. Till they do and begin doing interviews, I don’t assume we’ll ever know.

Hello, RS!

Acquired a remark and a query for you.

Concerning making sense of the Devin/Marcus scenario, I imagine Jen doesn’t need Devin or Marcus. I imagine she desires Darcus. Or possibly Mevin. In different phrases, she desires a man who expresses his love for her (like Devin), however who she has the “in love” emotions for (like Marcus.)

Her emotions for Marcus took me a bit abruptly…didn’t know they have been fairly that robust. In all probability as a result of, total, we haven’t seen a variety of their relationship all through the season.

Onto my query…..Has any previous lead (most likely from years in the past) ever confided in you concerning frank conversations that that they had throughout their season with manufacturing? I notice that as time passes, former leads have a bit extra leeway in what they will say, versus newer leads, who shall be extra strictly held to the phrases of their contract. And naturally, these leads who converse to you’d notice, given your popularity, that you just wouldn’t violate that confidence.

However right here’s what I’m getting at…..Say a lead is aware of early on and even as they enter Closing 4, who they will choose. After all, manufacturing would pay attention to this as effectively. Does manufacturing say issues to the lead alongside the strains of, “Hey, Sally, we all know you’re gonna choose Billy Bob, and also you’re in love with him, however we nonetheless have 3 guys right here and a present to do, so please play the half throughout your hometown dates and your in a single day dates, and say some issues in ITMs that you just DO like about these different guys, as a result of we’d like the TV viewers to imagine that every one 4 remaining guys have an opportunity.”

After all, I’m not asking WHO informed you precisely what…..However I’m simply questioning if a lead has ever informed you issues alongside these strains, by way of their discussions with manufacturing?

Remark: Sure, they’ve. And sure, just about what you mentioned. They know they’ve a tv present to make.

Hey Steve –

You talked about annoyance at contestants yelling “Let’s go!” after they win. I’m most likely incorrect however I first seen it with KC on her season of Massive Brother (now on Problem, engaged to Nani). One other one which annoys me is a contestant within the diary room referring to him/herself as “Your boy” or “Your woman”. I first bear in mind it from a BB fan favourite named Paul. It has kind of fizzled out. I hate the diary room stay eviction shout outs however like when the contestants goof round after they go one another within the diary room hallway (zero creativity this season up to now). Agree, as a result of it’s normally an inside joke we clearly know nothing about.

I don’t watch the feeds however it strikes me as odd that MJ and Leah will not be scheming collectively (Workforce Left Out) as they don’t appear to suit with anybody else. In any case her statements about how she anticipated to win HOH, Veto, AI so she might survive and go after Tucker, I did get amusing at Brooklyn for getting her butt kicked. Tomorrow’s AI Enviornment, assuming it’s one thing the place you must full one thing quicker than the opposite two, appears to be one other Tucker whitewashing. He’s going to lose to Angela or MJ? Except it’s a reminiscence factor or trivia, which is far more impartial on who can win, he’s going to win once more (though on Monday he mentioned he was throwing it and wished to go residence. He was NEVER gonna maintain to that. An excessive amount of pleasure and too self absorbed to give up).

The Problem: Individuals who don’t look effectively or like they skilled for this: Brad, CT (shock), Aneesa (no shock), Paulie (but Cara appears to be like in high form). Laurel appears significantly nasty. Leroy must retire for good. To win, you must have that It Issue the place you see the problem and rapidly know the trick. He doesn’t have it. I don’t imagine Amanda’s son will watch his mother sometime and be pleased with her habits on the present. Individuals I assumed we might see on the present: Wes, Fessy, Survivor Chris, and new champ Immanuel. Undoubtedly some questionable folks there, however total, finest forged they’ve ever had.

Loved your Workplace t-shirt on the weekly podcast.

Remark: I feel that’s the one Workplace one I’ve now that I give it some thought. I discovered extra this weekend that I haven’t worn shortly in order that they’re going within the rotation. I’m nonetheless about 30-35 shirts away earlier than I’ve to begin repeating.
_____________________

I’m certain you may be addressing Jenn saying I really like you to Devin, so possibly you have got a brand new principle about what occurs on the last altar. My query although is… out of those males, who do you assume shall be heading to Paradise? I’m glad Jonathon shall be going. Ideas on Sam M, and any of the others?

Remark: Effectively, we all know from final night time Jonathon and Hakeem are in. I’m certain Spencer and Jeremy shall be there as effectively. There shall be others there too, however bear in mind, by the point Paradise rolls round, they’ll have 4 seasons to select from with Joey’s ladies, Jenn’s males, Grant’s ladies, and whoever the subsequent Bachelorette has a gaggle of males who shall be there. So we’ll see what number of of Jenn’s males make it, however Jonathon, Hakeem, Spencer, and Jeremy for certain. We’ll see after that.

Sam McKinney is a query mark. After all they’d need him. However he’s already trashed the present, producers, editors, and so on. So it’d be fairly hypocritical for him to then return and work with them. Nevertheless, publicity is a drug to a variety of them and I might see him saying that he’s performed the work on himself, he desires to redeem himself, blah blah blah. Simply exhausting to imagine something that man says.

Steve,

It looks like Jenn’s season of the bachelorette isn’t being given a good shake.

First she is competing with the Olympics after which the Democratic Nationwide Conference. Final Monday night time with the conference, the hometown episode didn’t begin till about 9:30 pm right here on the west coast.

Now the finale is on a Tuesday night time? What??!!! How do they count on this season to do effectively within the rankings?

Why do you assume the finale is scheduled for a Tuesday night time? Labor Day?

Remark: Effectively, they will’t management the DNC. Each 4 years they’ve needed to cope with that so nothing they will do there. Similar with Olympics. And sure, finale is Tuesday night time as a result of they’d by no means present a finale on a vacation. Will it harm the rankings? I’m certain. However this franchise has moved previous taking a look at TV rankings as a barometer for its success due to what number of alternative ways the viewers consumes content material now. How many individuals are speaking about it on social media, what sort of protection is it getting from the leisure websites, how a lot engagement is occurring on IG & Twitter, what number of occasions are there clips being seen, and so on. Whereas rankings undoubtedly assist, it’s only a totally different time now you can’t choose TV exhibits anymore simply by the in a single day rankings, as a result of it doesn’t inform the entire story. Grant’s season shall be #50 within the franchise, they simply launched the Golden franchise final yr, BIP is coming again subsequent summer time – that ought to let you know all you might want to learn about how this franchise is doing. They’re including exhibits, not subtracting them. If there’s one other Golden season in 2025, that’s 4 franchise exhibits in a calendar yr. So clearly, they aren’t hurting.

What are your ideas on seeing Noah Erb throughout the Males Inform All? I’m involved. He appeared very unhealthy.

Remark: He’s undoubtedly thinner however I don’t know if that essentially means he’s unhealthy. Seems like he simply misplaced weight to me.
