Sorry didn’t have something written up yesterday for Grant’s episode. As a result of I acquired so behind on Monday tuning in (extra on that in a minute), I simply fell behind within the evening. To not point out, actually the one fascinating a part of the episode was the group date drama surrounding Carolina. That’s all anybody is speaking about. However, the explanation for the falling behind was as a result of I used to be recording tomorrow’s podcast that evening. It’s with Darva Conger, she of the “Who Needs to Marry a Multi-Millionaire” fame from 2000. These days, a present like that wouldn’t even trigger anybody to blink a watch. Why? As a result of we see individuals get married sight unseen on “Married at First Sight” or engaged to somebody they’ve by no means seen on “Love is Blind.” However again in 2000? Earlier than social media and the web in its infancy? “Who Needs to Marry a Multi-Millionaire” was probably the most talked about present on TV. You couldn’t go previous a grocery story checkout line and never see Darva’s face on the quilt of at least 5 magazines. It was the speak of TV. A lady acquired married to man on tv throughout a 2 hour present and he or she had by no means seen him. Once more, par for the course as we speak, however again then, 23 million individuals watched that episode and it turned historical past. You realize Darva’s identify, however tomorrow, you’ll know the story behind all of it. Can’t look ahead to you all to listen to her go into the way it got here to be, every part that occurred, and what life was like throughout it and now after. Fascinating story that I feel will change individuals’s minds about her.
Some ideas on Grant’s episode #4:
-Lets eliminate Jesse Palmer, at the very least as soon as a season, uttering the road “your flight leaves in an hour.” Or “your date begins in an hour.” Please. You had 10 ladies on a sofa, no make-up, of their pajamas, in a mansion in Los Angeles, and also you’re telling me a flight to Madrid left in an hour they usually all made it? Positive it didn’t. Hell, even when they have been all packed and instantly acquired up from the sofa at that second, loaded right into a automotive and headed to LAX (and even Burbank), to get everybody checked in and boarded there’s zero probability the flight was in an hour from when he mentioned. Foolish.
-I coated loads of the Carolina drama on yesterday’s Day by day Roundup, however right here’s what I’ll say right here. I do see Carolina’s facet to it. It’s not like she’s uncovering some unbelievable reality in regards to the present. All she did was level out that you simply barely know the person that you simply’re ultimately presupposed to get engaged to. Though she had a 1-on-1, she says she felt like she barely knew him they usually didn’t have sufficient time collectively. The issue with that sentiment is she additionally instructed the ladies afterward that evening on the group date after get together, it’s the strongest she’s ever felt for somebody so shortly. So wait, which is it? As a result of you possibly can’t have it each methods. You’ll be able to’t say you barely know Grant and haven’t had sufficient time with him, however in the identical breath flip round and say it’s the strongest you’ve ever felt for somebody so shortly. So she misplaced me there.
-Juliana appears to be taking probably the most warmth as a result of she pulled Carolina apart to name her out for her negativity and complaining, however from what I noticed, Juliana mainly was simply the spokeswoman for everybody else there. As a result of we actually noticed Sarafiena, Rose, Parisa, Zoe, and Litia ALL specific their opinions on how unfavorable Carolina was and the way she made each date about her. Juliana’s takes have been no totally different than every other lady’s. She simply expressed it to her 1-on-1 whereas the others made their emotions identified in a bunch setting. However Juliana was the dangerous man? Make it make sense. In the event you didn’t recognize what Juliana mentioned, then which means you could present the identical disappointment within the different 5 ladies who all referred to as Carolina out. And I’m actually not seeing that wherever. Appears to all be being taken out on Juliana. Once more, make it make sense.
-Put it this manner, if Juliana had spent this previous weekend in Montana with Charity, Kaity, Gabby Elnicki, Ariel and the like as a substitute of Litia, do you suppose she’d be taking the identical warmth as she is now? I’ll reply that for you: No, she wouldn’t. However the affirmation bias amongst this fan base by no means ceases to amaze me. I’m not saying Litia did something fallacious. Nor am I saying to dislike Litia. Nothing of the such. I’m simply saying that it’s clear there’s a pecking order on this franchise, and whenever you hang around with the “cool youngsters” or folks that loads of the fan base likes, it completely provides them a extra biased, slanted view in the direction of you. And Litia partying it up with these ladies and all of them posting it on their socials all weekend completely upped Litia’s recognition amongst the fickle fan base. Nevertheless it doesn’t change the truth that Litia, together with each different lady not named Dina, all had points this previous episode with Carolina’s whining and negativity. And subsequent week, we even see that it lastly will get to Dina and he or she calls Carolina out.

Hello Steve,
Very long time listener right here.. thanks for every part you do for us! Yours is the first podcast I take heed to at 6am PST.
Are you continue to watching The Joe Schmo Present? I haven’t heard you point out it currently, however I wished to thanks for making me conscious of this ridiculously hysterical present! I’ve laughed so onerous watching the stupidity, however it’s additionally so good! I hope he makes all of it the way in which through with out making an attempt to second guess the present’s validity, like he did final week.
I’m additionally wanting ahead to Vegas in Could! Can’t wait to see associates I made there a few years in the past, and to have fun your fiftieth bash!
Remark: I discussed this in as we speak’s podcast. I lastly acquired caught up on it this weekend after which watched final evening’s episode. I simply haven’t discovered it as humorous because the earlier seasons. I’m unsure what it’s. If it’s the solid, or the truth that there doesn’t appear to be a lot danger happening? I’m unsure. I nonetheless get pleasure from it. However should you ask me to check to any of the earlier 3 seasons, and even the Jury Responsibility present on Amazon that got here out final yr, I simply discovered these a lot funnier. The GOAT recreation present doesn’t appear to have the identical ridiculous attraction like the opposite faux exhibits they parodied did. I suppose I’m spoiled as a result of season 2 was such a superb parody of relationship exhibits (particularly the Bachelor/ette) that that’s what I’m evaluating it to and it’s not fairly measuring up.
________________________
I’m hoping that they requested Rachael Ok. To be the bachelorette and he or she mentioned possibly subsequent yr. It could be method too quickly for her to do it now. They should announce her because the bachelorette possibly in August and they should discover males who wish to marry her and it might be the most effective season but!!
Remark: I’m not so certain she do it. The present wants her far more than she wants the present, and I feel she is aware of that. I threw it on the market after the break up as somebody who’d be in all probability the most important identify from the franchise they might get proper now. However when it’s all mentioned and finished, I actually can’t see her doing it.

About Chipotle out of your podcast…So hear me out … I feel you might want to give it one other probability. Usually rooster is my favourite, however I can’t stand Chipotle’s rooster. I really like spice, however it tears up my abdomen – simply one thing about it!
I just like the Sofritas (tofu – however tastes like rooster?) and the Barbacoa beef tastes similar to the slowcooker tri-tip I make at house. Give it a attempt simply to see! However not the rooster.
Remark: I haven’t been again since however yeah, I gotta imagine they’ve rooster that’s not spicy? There’s no method the one rooster they’ve is the one I had in my bowl that made my mouth burn. If that’s the case, I in all probability received’t be going again there anytime quickly.

Hey Steve! What do you make of Litia moving into a ladies journey with a bunch of standard ladies from previous seasons this weekend. I feel they went to Montana? They appeared actually shut already. Did she know one among them earlier than the present? Simply curious in your ideas.
Remark: It’s undoubtedly one thing we don’t see fairly often, if in any respect, when the present is airing. And I don’t know who, if anybody, from that group she was already associates with. All I do know is that it screams “I didn’t win.”

Hello Steve –
Love is Blind:
-When Madison spoke to Alex they usually shared a few of their previous traumas (bullying, household drug abuse), neither one appeared to ask the Jacqueline Trumball query “How has this impacted your previous relationships?” Nice callback to Jacqueline’s podcast. And 100% one thing that ought to’ve been addressed. Granted, it could have and it simply wasn’t proven, so we all the time need to take that into consideration.
-From Ben’s solutions to Sara, I felt like he didn’t know who ran within the election he didn’t vote in, who George Floyd was, or what BLM is. I’m truthfully leaning that method as properly. As a result of who on this planet doesn’t even have an opinion on that? Which makes it all of the extra stunning she accepted a proposal from him.
-Total I used to be struck by what number of contestants acquired no airtime. In episode 6, there have been only a few guys left within the lounge. One was a black man with a rose sample shirt. Since he was there so late, I’ve to imagine he had an unaired relationship. I discussed in my podcast as we speak, the EP for the present did an interview and mentioned there have been 2 {couples} that acquired engaged who they selected to not comply with. One was Kylie and Brian have been one. I noticed their solid photographs and I truthfully don’t even bear in mind seeing :10 secs of them within the pods, not solely not speaking to one another, however occasion to anybody else. And I don’t know who the opposite couple is, however one half of them I imagine is Brittany, the lady who was concerned with Riley.
-I don’t know what to imagine about Daniel, the accused Insta stalker. How would he know she was going to be on the present to even do it? I don’t suppose he knew she was gonna be on it. Nevertheless it’s definitely doable he heard by mutual associates. Perhaps somebody tipped him off like “Hey, I do know this woman Taylor who’s doing that present too.” However I feel it might’ve been extra of as soon as they began speaking, he remembered the small print from her profile and knew in his head “I feel that is that Taylor woman I’ve seen on IG earlier than.”
You haven’t talked about The Problem All Stars however listed below are some ideas:
-The rivals angle ranges from individuals who hate one another to those that had an insignificant beef.
-The every day challenges to date are usually not practically the extent of the common present.
-Beloved Ashley Millionaire Mitchell saying “Aneesa is thought for 1 factor: dropping.” Aneesa’s declare that she works out onerous at house however does no train throughout the present to keep away from being seen as a menace is laughable.
-Some groups haven’t any shot as a result of 1 member is a awful competitor or missing health: Melissa, Massive T, Aneesa, Veronica, Sam.
Proper now, I might say that Fessy/Amber or Leroy/Devin are the most important threats.
Remark: You’re proper, I haven’t talked about it. I believed I used to be gonna watch, however now that I’ve 4 episodes in DVR (or possibly 3), I haven’t gotten round to watching any of them but. If I don’t get to it quickly, realizing myself, I’ll by no means get to it. I don’t know why I can’t get into the All-Stars seasons. I’m 0-for-5.
