Quite the journey I had the final 5 days. As you understand, went to Vegas for March Madness Wed-Sat and, nicely, lets simply say I’ve had higher weekends there at each the tables and betting the video games. Man, we had loads of underdogs successful outright in Rd 1, but I occurred to be on all of the unsuitable ones aside from one – James Madison. While Duquesne, Oakland, Nc St and others had been pulling off the upsets, I used to be on Coll of Charleston, Samford, and McNeese St. So yeah, undoubtedly had higher weekends there. And oh yeah, I obtained some type of 24 hr abdomen bug after I was there as nicely. Fun instances I inform ya. Then headed to Orange County on Sat & Sun for my fantasy baseball draft. I do know. Important stuff. We’ll see how that goes however I gained’t bore you with particulars of my staff aside from to say it is likely to be the best fantasy staff ever assembled. Get again to me in 6 months. Ahhh sure, the Bachelor. Guess we have to speak about that. Anything main occur final night time? I suppose so. We’ll get to all that in at the moment’s column. But first, some administrative stuff to take care of.
Get your Reader Emails in for the final one till Bachelorette begins up once more. Email me at steve@realitysteve.com with any questions, queries, feedback, or basic statements about no matter and it’ll seem in tomorrows column. Last week simply obtained so backed up I simply did them on the Daily Roundup, however I’ll undoubtedly reply them this week.
Few issues to cowl earlier than we get to final night time. I went over this in yesterdays podcast (and briefly in todays), however the newest I’m listening to on the Bachelorette is that filming begins tonight. Seems fast, so perhaps it’s off by a day or perhaps two, however filming undoubtedly begins this week, which is the norm. It at all times begins filming week the Bachelor ends airing, so, be prepared for that. The turnaround time of the following day can be a primary, however that’s the newest I’ve heard. Also, they’re solely filming on the mansion for limo entrances then as a substitute of transferring into the mansion the following day, the instantly start journey abroad and their first two stops are in New Zealand and Australia. Not positive which metropolis is first, however, these are the primary two stops. They will ultimately make it again to the states bc as I discussed final week, I do know they’ll be filming in a US metropolis on the finish of April. I’ll maintain you up to date on any and all spoilers I get throughout filming.
Now I’d say for the previous 10 seasons or so (perhaps extra), we all know the Bachelor/ette Facebook web page releases the potential contestants for the upcoming season 2-3 days earlier than filming begins. And they launched them late final night time principally proper after the present was performed airing within the Eastern and Central time zones. 28 males had been posted to the Bachelorette Facebook web page as potential contestants for Jenn’s season. As of me scripting this, working with Suzana at @BachelorKnowledge, we’ve discovered 19 of them and have posted them to my Twitter account, and he or she’s posted them in her captions. One factor to notice: Of the 19 guys we’ve discovered to this point, solely considered one of them has over 7,500 followers. Some fast notes on a few of the guys:
Aaron Erb – he’s Noah’s (from Noah and Abigail) brother
Austin Ott – performed baseball at Cal State San Marcos
Kevin McDevitt – says he’s from Denver, CO however at the moment lives in Southern California. Moved considerably lately.
Moze Smith – his title is Caleb Smith, however I suppose he goes by Moze as a result of it’s on his IG web page and his nickname in Arena Football is “Moze Dangerous.” Moze it’s.
Sam Nejad – is an influencer with 175,000 followers already
Spencer Conley – was informed he was engaged a number of years in the past and the fiancé broke it off. So assume that’ll be a part of his story if he lasts for any first rate period of time.
As I get extra data on the fellows, I’ll fill you in. But sure, already beginning to hear detrimental tales about a few of these guys. But that’s nothing new. I hear detrimental tales about contestants yearly. Unless it’s legal exercise or some severe problematic habits, or the individual calling them out needs to supply receipts and/or connect their title to it, you gained’t be listening to these tales from me. I’ll go away that to the opposite websites that wish to draw consideration to themselves with out realizing their hypocrisy.
