Three months off seems like three years. Seriously. I know Zach’s season ended one month ago today, and we’ve had two whole seasons of this show film (Charity’s and “Bachelor in Paradise”) before last night even hit the air, but it’s still incredible to me how long ago three months seemed. With that said, I want to welcome everyone back and, yeah, you didn’t miss much on this site, because outside of a few weeks ago reporting on the Serene/Brandon breakup, that was the only thing I wrote in the past 3 months. Just understand that I know what my numbers are. And I know where the audience is leaning towards. And for you readers, unfortunately, that’s the podcasting world. Your recaps will still be up every Tuesday and “Reader Emails” every Wednesday during all of Charity’s season and BIP, but there’s still a “Daily Roundup” podcast that, trust me, is getting more traffic and monetizing so much better than the website. Those are just the facts. Times are changing. People just don’t want to read long form columns anymore. This is something I’ve seen take over basically since the pandemic. To see how my numbers have done such a 180 in 3 years blows me away. I didn’t see it coming. But it’s here and it’s why there’s a daily podcast now, coming up on one year of that.

Talking of “Reader Emails,” get your emails in steve@realitysteve.com right this moment for tomorrow’s column since, effectively, we have now zero emails proper now as a result of I haven’t written in 3 months. Is smart. However get these in right this moment and I’ll be answering them tomorrow. I imply, you gotta have some ideas/questions/queries after final evening, no? And you probably have something on others exhibits like TI or The Massive D, Vanderpump Guidelines, no matter. I’m all ears.
In case you missed yesterday, I’ve bought your rose ceremony-by-rose ceremony spoilers up proper now that offers you each date and elimination as much as Hometown Dates. After that, I simply inform you recognize what I do know to be reality versus what we will deduce from issues which have popped up on-line within the months throughout filming.
One of many issues I talked about in these spoilers was the entire Xavier intro video that I may’ve sworn had the extensive angle shot of somebody kissing Charity in Fiji. That clip was first seen in BacheloretteABC’s IG account on June seventh which was a :30 preview of her season. When it got here out, there was numerous dialogue of who that was kissing Charity in Fiji. Then when Xavier’s intro video was posted to their account on June twelfth, I believed that clip was in it, which might then affirm it was him. Some individuals emailed me yesterday saying they keep in mind it being in there too, and a few mentioned they don’t keep in mind ever seeing it in there. The feedback below his intro video on the BacheloretteABC IG account has no point out of anybody saying “Hey, you simply gave away Xavier is in Fiji” or one thing to that impact – until ABC deleted feedback. I hadn’t regarded til yesterday.
Backside line is that it actually doesn’t matter finally if that clip appeared in his video package deal or not. What issues is that if that’s him who’s kissing her. To the bare eye, I feel it’s him, however it’s not 100% confirmed. I’d say I’m about 95/5 it pondering it’s Xavier. As soon as there’s one thing definitive there, we’ll know her last 3.
Some corrections have been made since yesterday in these spoilers. They’re:
-I misidentified which Chris was despatched residence final evening. Chris Spell was the leaping man who bought eradicated. Chris Blackman was within the authentic forged of 29 males on the Fb web page that by no means made it to first evening, together with Brandon Wallace, Demarcus Gresham, and Steve Cole.
-I initially posted yesterday the primary group date of the season was 12 guys on the Hollywood signal and the primary 1-on-1 with Aaron Bryant was driving a convertible automobile after which heading to the LA Theater for a personal live performance. It’s been modified. The 12 man group date was on the seaside the place they performed dodgeball, and Aaron and Charity drove to the Hollywood signal of their convertible earlier than heading again to LA for the non-public live performance.
-Despite the fact that in actual time throughout filming I instructed you that Xavier filmed his hometown date first and Joey filmed his second, my image on Twitter and IG had Joey first and Xavier second. That’s been modified on each IG and yesterday’s column.
-Warwick’s (who I suppose pronounces his title “Warrick”) 1-on-1 date was on the Belmont Amusement Park in San Diego, the identical place Colton and Elyse had their 1-on-1 throughout his season.
“Bachelor in Paradise” accomplished filming over the weekend and I don’t have the ultimate {couples} but. Yesterday within the Each day Roundup the largest spoiler I gave was the truth that Katie Thurston did go all the way down to Paradise, however to not be a contestant on the present. She appeared to present a gaggle date card I imagine, however this was largely about her having a chat with ex-fiance, Blake Moynes who was there. Apparently they hashed out the way in which their relationship ended and it was a constructive discuss general. Seemingly this was the present extending the olive department to Katie since she’s been very crucial of the present and her time on it, and this convo with Blake gave each of them the closure they wanted.
I’m nonetheless ready to listen to the ultimate {couples}, who bought engaged, and many others and I’ll submit these after I get them.
