“Reader Emails,” Jason Tartick Interview Update, DONDI, and Your Daily Roundup 3/12 Transcript – Reality Steve

As talked about on the Daily Roundup yesterday, I had the chance delivered to me to interview Jason Tartick on the podcast this week by a PR firm. I get this loads the place some firm is pitching somebody to come back on my podcast and discuss one thing, however quite a lot of them are non-reality TV associated and often I’ve by no means heard of them. But clearly with Jason, I used to be . The e mail mentioned Jason is in collaboration with an organization the place they’re selling one thing in finance and if I’d be all for a 15 minute interview with him BUT I couldn’t discuss previous relationships, Jersey Shore, or any previous controversies. Those had been off limits. Immediately my thought was to even take into account this, I would like greater than quarter-hour. I don’t do 15 minute interviews. I simply don’t really feel like that’s value my time or the company time as a result of we are able to’t cowl sufficient in that wanting time. Well, they got here again to me yesterday and mentioned they’d give me 45 minutes with Jason with the identical parameters. So I’m going to file with him in the present day. We’ll get the promotion out of the way in which to start with, after which dive into the opposite subjects.

So for all these whose first query will likely be “why didn’t you ask about his dating/love life or talk anything about Kaitlyn,” now you recognize. While after all I do know individuals wanna hear that stuff, I’ve to abide by the parameters and I get it. With that mentioned, you recognize my stance in terms of interviews: everybody’s bought a narrative. And whether or not you’re keen on Jason otherwise you hate him since you love Kaitlyn, you’ll be able to’t inform me he doesn’t have an attention-grabbing story. He does. So attempt to take away any private bias and understand this man has constructed a model fully separate from the Bachelor franchise, which only a few have been capable of do. And as a result of I’m interviewing Jason doesn’t imply that I’m now #TeamJason over #TeamKaitlyn. Has nothing to do with that. For one, I actually promoted Kaitlyn’s podcast with Madison from LIB on my pod in the present day. And two, I’d put Kaitlyn on my podcast tomorrow if I might. I simply know she’s bought a a lot greater model than me and I doubt she’d come on mine truthfully. And she’s by no means requested me to be on hers. So don’t make this some type of debate. I’m not neither #Team right here. Especially because it’s not like I’m having Jason on so he can trash Kaitlyn. She received’t even be talked about. It’s the largest draw back to me of how social media has modified issues. If you discuss to 1 particular person, that mechanically means you’re on their aspect otherwise you’re #Team them. Not the case. Jason Tartick is way more than simply Kaitlyn’s ex. If you wish to simply outline him that means, I really feel such as you’re simply trolling or a Kaitlyn fan and never being goal. There’s loads of different issues to speak to Jason about and I’ll attempt to cowl as a lot as I can once I file with him in the present day. The podcast will run tomorrow as Episode #434. Looking ahead to it.

The DONDI episode yesterday was so infuriating and thoughts numbing, I can’t even realize it. Does Phillip not know the way the sport works? Why would he POSSIBLY put his sport within the palms of David and simply let him take energy of the sport in HOPES that David wouldn’t ship him house. Really? $75,000 was value that a lot to you moderately than actually 1) securing immunity at subsequent temple and securing a spot within the ultimate three 2) getting to decide on who will get instantly despatched house and three) getting to decide on who performs the banker. Phillip gave all that up for $75,000? The second Joe revealed the suitcase of $2.75 million was the very best suitcase left, there’s no dialogue to have for those who’re Phillip. You drop, take the case, and management energy within the sport. What an idiotic transfer to place your personal sport in another person’s palms. I truthfully assume Phillip was confused. I can’t that was even a debate. But hey, what do I do know?

All proper, lets get to your Reader Emails…

Hey Steve,

Just listened to your podcast with Lauren, and I beloved it. It is disheartening that Dave by no means was really going to offer the connection an opportunity.

But I’ve some normal LIB questions.

Do you recognize or has Netflix ever given a cause Why they wait so lengthy to air a season after it’s accomplished filming? Lauren gave a unique perspective, stating she was joyful that the airing was to this point faraway from the filming for her to recover from it. But for the profitable {couples} that must be so troublesome to not share your love publicly for an entire 12 months. I don’t know why they wait so lengthy. The solely factor I can consider is that as a result of they air two seasons in a calendar 12 months? But then once more, so does the Bachelor franchise (besides this 12 months with no Bachelorette) and their turnaround time is barely round 4 months. So yeah, I don’t know why they wait so lengthy.

What occurs after the reveal? I’d like to know the place they go/what they do after their preliminary reveal. When do they get to see one another once more? Lauren said there are a number of days between the reveal and happening the getaway. Do they get to hangout throughout that point? Do they get to take a seat collectively on the flight to the getaway? Do the entire {couples} take the identical flight?

Looking ahead to the remainder of your LIB interviews!

Comment: Since I’m nonetheless comparatively new to the franchise, I don’t know the specifics, however I can discover out. Based on Lauren’s reply, it seems to be like there was solely a pair days between ending filming within the pods and heading to Honduras. But it doesn’t appear such as you bought to see your fiancé throughout that point. Hell, I don’t know for those who even fly to Honduras with them. My guess can be that’s the place you’d get to see them, however I don’t know for certain. Maybe ladies fly with the men and women fly with the boys and then you definitely don’t meet up with them til Honduras.

The one factor I did discover out that I do know I used to be requested in a previous Reader Emails was engagements within the pods all occur on the final day, they’re simply proven out of order. So no, Joey and Monica didn’t get engaged after 2-3 days. They bought engaged on the finish of the pods identical to everybody else. The present simply determined to point out their engagement first and early on within the course of. Which is smart. While all of us assume it’s ridiculous to get engaged to somebody you’ve by no means seen after 10 days, it’s even MORE ridiculous to assume that you just’d do the identical factor after solely 2-3 days ha ha.

If you had been requested to look on a sport present for a prize of 50k, would you say no? I imply these aren’t A or B class celebrities. I’m certain most of them go on for the air time and even only for the expertise.

Comment: Well very first thing we’ve to get out of the way in which is I’ve zero curiosity in happening actuality TV. Never have.

This query is in response to my take in regards to the Traitors contestants successful solely $50k and them needing to up the stakes. Here’s the factor: 3 of the 4 winners of the Traitors: Gabby, Dolores, and Dylan all have over 1 million followers. So no, I assure none of them care in regards to the truth they received $50k. They’re extra within the title of Traitors winner and simply capitalizing on the media consideration. If the entire solid of Traitors had been common individuals, would they flip it down in the event that they knew the prize was solely $50k? Probably not. But that’s not what the present is. I’ve seen many assume items and content material creators voicing the identical opinion as me because the finale: the prize cash is a joke. If you’re doing all celeb solid, make it value their whereas with the prize cash. Especially since we all know it is a Top 5 present on Peacock. They can completely enhance the prize cash.

And if I had been to EVER do a actuality present, I completely wouldn’t select to be on one which didn’t have not less than a $500k prize. It simply doesn’t appear definitely worth the trouble given what your life might turn into after the actual fact. At least let me win a big sum of money. And I’d wish to be play a sport that, getting in, I do know solely has one winner and you recognize what the prize is. Everything else is left an excessive amount of as much as likelihood.

Steve, the seating chart factor is so humorous! They try to be like bravo. But in terms of the reunion exhibits on bravo, the seating chart truly issues. The VIPs are at all times those sitting the closest to Andy Cohen!

Comment: Yeah, so I’ve been instructed. But they’re two fully totally different exhibits which is why releasing the Bachelor seating chart actually has zero relevance to something aside from the reverse order of whenever you had been eradicated. I imply, I’m simply doing this off the highest of my head, however I’m guessing there isn’t a single particular person within the historical past of this present that bought eradicated in episodes 1-3 that ever ended up sitting within the first row of the Tell All.

Hi Steve!

Big fan, I really like listening to your podcast. So I’m certain you’ve in all probability gotten emails about this, however Have you heard something with regard to if one thing occurred between Grant and his ultimate decide? You in all probability caught on too, like he appeared completely devastated after they confirmed the preview of the finale. Like he appeared like he was about to cry, and I really feel like if somebody was fortunately engaged wouldn’t they be like beaming? Just curious for those who’ve heard something. Bc like that was what stood out to me essentially the most.

Comment: I handle this in in the present day’s Daily Roundup. But the brief reply is not any. Haven’t heard something both means. I simply know who he selected on the finish of filming. Finding out stuff post-filming is hit and miss. Sometimes I do and I notify everybody earlier than the ATFR and generally I don’t. I haven’t heard something both means this season however I do know loads are judging Grant’s facial expressions to imply one thing. Maybe they do, possibly they don’t. But that appears to be one thing the place no matter narrative you’ve gotten in your head, you may make case for what his standing is now.

There’s a lot we don’t know and bc DV and youngsters are concerned, I don’t really feel individuals ought to have any type of black and white tackle this since we don’t know what occurred. All I do know relies on the quotes that DeAnna gave in regards to the scenario, why she was arrested has me confused. So there’s loads we don’t know and till extra information comes out, we must always in all probability maintain off forming any sturdy opinions.

I don’t know in the event that they’re nonetheless collectively. She’s on the Almost Famous Podcast in the present day, so possibly she addresses it.

Who do you assume from this present season of the bachelor (grant’s ladies) do you assume will do paradise this 12 months?? Maybe Carolina? Luita? Anyone else in older seasons? What about from Jenn trann’s season? I feel you’ll be able to simply go down the record of people that lasted lengthy and possibly simply pencil them in, however once more, till they present up on the seashore and stroll down the steps, we by no means know for certain.

Have you heard from former bachelorette Meredith currently? I actually hope she’s okay..
