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. Obtained quite a lot of. Bachelor Nation stuff to go over. We’re gonna discuss 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 carry 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 advised you they have been going to Costa Rica to movie this 12 months. New location, first time. They haven’t finished it in Mexico. Within the earlier 9 seasons, they have 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 might have sworn about three or 4 weeks in the past, I acquired an e-mail asking me to attend that Hulu occasion. After which clearly once you delete an e-mail, at the least in my mailbox it disappears. However I believe they hit me up once more afterwards and.
I’m nearly 99% positive that I had gotten an e-mail to attend that Hulu occasion that talked about quite a lot 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’ve got a podcast, whether or not you’ve got 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 individuals 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 have been doing by sending me an e-mail and alluring 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 those that have been there. I’ve perhaps 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 those that cowl this franchise whose life’s objective is to befriend all people that’s on this franchise. And it’s simply not for me. I don’t care if I turn out to be mates with any individual. That’s nice. And I do have mates on this franchise, however it’s not my objective to continually hang around with them, continually publish with them, continually 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 those that 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 advised you final week that individuals have been gonna be leaving this previous weekend.
And for me, I simply forgot to take a look at a freaking calendar. As a result of from every part that I used to be advised, I used to be advised individuals are leaving proper on the finish of April, starting of Could. For some motive, I assumed the tip of April was this quick weekend, so I might 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 folks which might be leaving Tuesday and Wednesday for Costa Rica, so clearly you gotta give them at the least a day or two for them to shoot all their head photographs 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, however it looks as if they’re being just a little, uh, extra open, uh, about issues when it comes to letting folks cowl it. So I suppose be looking out for that. I don’t understand how quickly after filming begins, they’re gonna launch the forged. However once more, we all know nothing with regard 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 probably be contestants there and there will probably be golden contestants. We do not know if they’re utterly altering it up. Partially altering it up, maintaining it considerably the identical because it at all times been, however including some twist to it.
We simply don’t know. Afterward this week, as I begin listening to extra, hopefully, I’ll let you know the names that I’m listening to which might be going, however as soon as once more, after I launch the names, it doesn’t imply that, oh, these are the one those that I do know are going. Properly, truly 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 might be gonna be going.
So mainly after I put it on the market, I simply don’t need it to be, effectively, what about this particular person? It’s like, look, I’m simply saying these are those I do know. It doesn’t imply that the particular person you’re asking me about isn’t going or goes. I simply haven’t heard both approach. So. Finally, you already know, that is one in all this stuff the place, as a result of this present is just a little bit totally different than the Bachelor and the Bachelorette, at the least prior to now seasons, as a result of we all know folks come filtering in and they’re staggered in to the casting.
What if they alter it up this 12 months? What if there’s no staggered folks being introduced in? I, I don’t assume they’re gonna try this as a result of that’s type of what separates Bachelor in Paradise. However you by no means know. ’trigger we do not 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 those that I do know which might be gonna be on it. However once more, I don’t know in the event that they’re gonna be unique forged. I don’t know in the event that they’re gonna be staggered in, I don’t know after they’re gonna be arriving, however simply those that I do know which might be gonna be on the present, and quite a lot of ’em, there’s, there’s no names on this listing which might be like, oh my gosh, I had no concept that particular person was going.
You understand 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 position. So simply maintain 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 just a little bit totally different. Um, spoilers often come out throughout filming and you already know, I’ll simply maintain you up to date on something I hear. And, uh, I’ll let you already know. I wished to say one thing concerning the Golden Bachelor, Mel Owens. Uh, I’m on Courtney’s podcast. I believe she’s posting it at this time or tomorrow, however I wished 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 towards Mel Owens. I don’t know the man. However a fast Google search clearly tells you one thing very primary 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 spotted 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 type 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 following 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 wished to say about Mel was this a fast Google search. We don’t know a lot about him aside from former Ram acquired into regulation 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 school or contemporary outta school.
He clearly is divorced and two issues concerning the divorce. He was married for 25 years, however his spouse can be 20 years youthful than him. I, I’d say that’s type 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, apart from Kelsey’s dad, Mark Anderson, however he was 59.
So. They attempt to maintain it, there’s a motive they name it the Golden Bachelor. It’s as a result of all people on the present is of their quote unquote golden years, which I suppose is 60 or over. We don’t know the forged of Mel’s ladies but. We’re not going to, he’s most likely 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 vary it up? I believe you’ll smash the entire golden facet in the event that they forged a bunch of mid, uh, the late forties or early fifties ladies. ’trigger that wouldn’t be the golden Bachelor now, wouldn’t it? He could 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 this planet and perhaps 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 suggests 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 laborious to imagine that this man is considering 60-year-old or older ladies. 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 perhaps they’re going to forged ladies of their mid to late forties. I believe that will do the present a disservice, and I believe quite a lot of the fan base could be turned off by that. I don’t assume. This present needs to play into the Hollywood stereotype that older males simply need youthful ladies. 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 considering 60-year-old ladies. I suppose we’ll must see. It’s, it’s laborious 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 12 months, 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 she or he was 21 after they acquired married.
And now I’m presupposed to imagine this man’s considering 60-year-old ladies. 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 converse but. Actually? I simply assume that this most likely isn’t the best precedent to be setting to your subsequent Golden Bachelor.
Time will inform.
