Man, two brutal tales in Bachelor Nation within the information yesterday that dominated headlines. The primary being that Charity spoke out for the primary time concerning her time on DWTS and he or she went in depth concerning the bullying she skilled. She informed this to Cheryl Burke on her podcast that was launched Monday. By the way in which, Cheryl can be on the podcast once more later this month or starting of September. However this was the primary time she has opened up about how dangerous it received for her on the present. Unlucky to listen to, however identical to Charity stated, can’t say all that shocking. Followers on social media don’t have any chill and can say something to anybody with zero repercussions. Hate to listen to that she went by means of that when nobody else was. Additionally yesterday, we came upon concerning the
tragic passing of Hailey Merkt, a contestant on Nick Viall’s season, who had leukemia. Possibly you don’t keep in mind Hailey, she solely lasted two episodes, but it surely doesn’t make her passing any much less necessary. If you happen to go to her IG web page (@haileymerkt), there’s a hyperlink to donate to her Go Fund Me should you really feel so inclined. Horrible to listen to when anybody within the franchise passes away. Condolences to her household and associates.
Lets instantly get to it. Your “Reader Emails” for the week…

Hey Steve- longtime fan and reader/listener!
Thought:
Have you ever thought-about doing a podcast with 2 former contestants (significantly ones who had been at odds with one another) on the identical time? Like Courtney Robertson with Kacie Boguskie. Or like former exes from the present? Or exes/enemies from any present (The Problem, Love Island, BIP, and many others.)? I believe it might be fascinating to see how their views have now modified and/or get completely different sides to the story than us viewers are proven! I do know most “villains” or “feuds” are created by the producers/editors so it might be fascinating to have two polarizing figures or exes go in your podcast directly to principally quash their ‘beef.’
Or possibly it doesn’t even need to be 2 people who find themselves at odds. Possibly simply 2 contestants from the identical season who can every give their recollection of how sure occasions transpired, their expertise on completely different dates, their expertise post-show, and many others.
My favourite podcasts of yours are at all times those the place the visitor appears so introspective and has moved previous their expertise on the present, so I believe it might be so fascinating to have on 2+ friends on the identical time (with a standard denominator) to say: ‘hey right here’s what I used to be doing/saying on this second and why’ or ‘you and I’d by no means be associates within the outdoors world and that’s okay— right here’s why’ and many others.
Only a thought!
Remark: I can’t say I haven’t thought of it, however, I’ve by no means actively gone out and requested anybody about it. It may very well be one thing down the street presumably. It will simply need to be the fitting scenario as a result of, despite the fact that it occurred some time in the past, that is likely to be the rationale why the events wouldn’t wish to do it. As a result of they don’t have any beef with the opposite individual anymore and dredging it up is likely to be uncomfortable for one or each of the events. I’d have to offer this extra thought.
______________________
Per your interview with the charming Rachel Reilly: I’m a 64 12 months previous lady and have some girlfriends my age who discover males simply wish to have intercourse with them. So sure grandpa bachelors should not a lot completely different than the youthful bachelors.
Remark: Ha ha, I get it. I believe she may need been referring to simply the concept they’d be occurring seeking to capitalize monetarily by means of social media, so possibly their intentions is likely to be slightly extra pure. Sure, I believe they know they’d get extra consideration from ladies (that goes for any man who goes on the present), however I believe these males on Golden Bachelorette can be sorely mistaken in the event that they thought they had been gonna be IG well-known or might construct their model submit present.

hey, steve.
simply had a query for you since i do know you’re an enormous “beverly hills, 90210” fan..
did you additionally watch 90210, the 2008 reboot? in that case, had been you pleased with the way in which kelly, donna, & brenda’s characters continued? Sure, I did. And admittedly, no I didn’t. There was nothing concerning the reboot that tied it again to the unique apart from these characters, and Nat, displaying up. To me, it was simply one other HS present. I didn’t take a look at it as any continuation of the unique. I used to be nice with the present as a standalone HS present, however nothing about it introduced again many 90210 reminiscences for me. Now the 2018 six episode present on Fox the place they introduced the forged again? That one I loved as a result of it was them. Throwing Jennie, Tori, and Shannen onto some HS present making an attempt to maintain us within the loop of what occurred of their lives simply didn’t do it for me.
I by no means watched the unique collection (i used to be born in 1993), however 90210 (2008) was the whole lot to me because it was proper across the time i used to be in highschool.
anyway, sorry should you’ve ever answered this query earlier than.
hope to listen to again from you, thanks.
Remark: Now that’s humorous that you simply resonated extra with the reboot forged. Is smart because you had been in HS on the time. However I believe I communicate for lots of authentic 90210 followers once we say the 2008 reboot didn’t actually do a lot for our nostalgia issue.

Morning Steve!
I used to like to stroll onto a SW flight and select my seat spontaneously. Nevertheless, over time with the change in boarding teams and the differential seating choices based mostly on ticket pricing, I selected to go to a different airline the place I might select my seat after I bought my ticket.
Assigned seating has made the boarding course of really feel extra streamlined and predictable, which lessens the nervousness of discovering seats collectively.
I’m excited concerning the prospect of returning residence to SWA! I really like the whole lot else they provide, particularly the customer support.
BTW…love the podcast. Whereas I don’t at all times agree, I really like the angle you give on issues that makes me query myself! Hold it coming!
Remark: This appears to be the consensus reply I received from lots of people after sharing the Southwest story. I assume as a result of I’ve hardly ever flown Southwest, I wasn’t actually in tune with how others who flew it commonly felt. And it appears to be they flew it due to the quantity of flights, the no baggage payment, the no change flight payment, and due to their low charges. Selecting your individual seat appeared to be low on the listing as causes for why they flew it. So now the problem for SW can be if they will preserve the whole lot else the identical however add the assigned seating. They already stated they’re redoing their planes to get extra legroom seats which you’ll be able to pay further for. However so long as they preserve no baggage charges and no change charges, they shouldn’t lose a lot enterprise – if any.

Hello Steve,
To my very own shock, I discover myself actually liking Devin! Aside from the 9/11 conspiracy factor: any likelihood he stated that as a joke? Not that it’s humorous, guess I’m simply looking for an excuse for him.
Thanks for all you do.
Remark: It wasn’t stated as a joke.

Hello, Steve
I despatched this to you by DM on IG, however you most likely didn’t see it. I used to be listening to Armchair Knowledgeable podcast they usually had been speaking to an skilled on Munchausen syndrome and the very first thing that popped into my thoughts was Laura Owens! The visitor goes into a whole lot of element about tales of a number of ladies who’ve faked pregnancies and the lengths they go to. I assumed it was fascinating. I don’t assume I noticed that. I’ve heard from individuals not too long ago after having Clayton on and sharing my being pregnant story from individuals who say it’s extra frequent than I believe it’s. All of them had tales of somebody they knew who faked a being pregnant.
My query is definitely about Survivor. I was a loyal watcher from the primary season, however once they switched to Wednesdays I misplaced contact. I solely simply picked it up once more about 3 seasons in the past. What do you imply once you speak concerning the “new period?” How is sport play on this new period completely different? What makes it a “new period?”
Love your pods. I don’t normally take heed to the sports activities day by day as a result of I solely like baseball and Olympics and also you don’t actually cowl these.
Thanks!
Remark: New Period is each season since COVID. So principally each season since 40. That’s as a result of after COVID filming went from 39 days lengthy for the primary 40 seasons, to solely 26 days lengthy post-COVID. It’s a serious rivalry with all gamers who competed within the first 40 seasons. It’s only a completely different expertise having to be on the market 2 weeks longer.

Hello Steve,
Why do you assume Sam’s household is making an attempt a lot to regulate the narrative? Dude didn’t even get a hometown.. it’s absurd!!
What is that this supposed tea Sam and his household preserve claiming with out proof they may drop concerning Jenn and her being on joeys season? It sounds ridiculous. Every little thing they’re saying and threatening to do is ridiculous. Offers off utterly naïve and ignorant vibes. However they won’t be deterred. So simply allow them to at this level. They’re making it worse for Sam, not higher, by doing this.
As for the what they declare they’re gonna out Jenn for? Effectively, contemplating the brother-in-law deleted that remark, I extremely doubt he’s gonna truly do it. This household talks an enormous sport however they’ve had a month thus far and offered nothing of substance, so I believe in the event that they proceed it’ll be extra of the identical. However IF the bro-in-law decides to share this Jenn “tea” he claims to have, if it’s what I believe he’s referring to, lets simply say it’ll make them look even worse than they have already got.
Is Tayshia engaged to that man who seems on some silly Bravo present? She’s been quiet about him.. I doubt it, since that may be main information that she/him would submit, and can be lined by each main outlet.
Has your opinion of Devin modified after the primary 4 episodes? I imply, I nonetheless assume he’s loud and a bit obnoxious. However my factor with him is I nonetheless haven’t determined if he was extra concerned about profitable than truly being into Jenn.
Isn’t there some unfavourable intel concerning Marcus? What did you hear??? Nothing that I’ve ever seen any proof of. It’s why I haven’t talked about all of it season.
What do you concentrate on Jesse as host of the bachelor?
Thanks for being an important blogger!
Remark: Jesse is completely nice for me. The host of this present doesn’t play a serious function in my viewing enjoyment. He barely does something.

Hello Steve –
Are you into the Olympics? Do you wager on any of the occasions? I can’t say I’m. I’ve adopted the outcomes, however have solely watched the Crew USA basketball up so far. I’ll watch mens and womens soccer now that we’re within the quarters. And I’ll most likely watch golf. And if Danielle Collins makes the womens tennis finals. However no, not betting it.
Do you accumulate something comparable to sports activities or superstar memorabilia? Nope. By no means been a memorabilia man. Once I was in center faculty, I’d accumulate baseball playing cards. That was an enormous factor. I had a couple of 3-4 run the place I used to be obsessive about it and went to card reveals, and many others. However I haven’t been into it in 35 years. I’ve no jerseys, no signed images, nothing. Simply not for me.
Huge Brother:
Do you assume T’kor goes to make crochet hats and garments cool? Will any crochet merchandise be coming to the Actuality Steve merch retailer? Ha ha, that most likely received’t be taking place.
Given how early it occurred within the season, do you assume there may be any likelihood Julie will convey up Angela mendacity about Matt threatening her once we get to finale or will the viewers barely keep in mind both of them? I believe as soon as Angela is eradicated from the sport (I don’t know what occurred on POV this week and if she received and took herself off), Julie goes to have her clarify what occurred. She will’t NOT ask her.
Regardless of the Boston Sturdy feedback and visor with faux hair, do you additionally get the sense that Kenny regrets being on the present and needs to be voted out quickly? (I don’t watch the feeds)
Remark: Definitely appears that means. I can’t think about he’s lengthy for the sport.
______________________
Do you assume Matt truly paid for his personal flight to New Zealand? Most likely not, however the extra necessary factor is he didn’t drive the present’s hand to do something. They needed him on the present and allowed it for storyline functions.
How excessive would you fee Marcus for the following bachelor? He looks like such man. Please inform me you don’t truly assume the producers would contemplate Sam M.? Sam M. will not be going to be the Bachelor. And I don’t see it for Marcus as effectively. I don’t know who they’re apart from guys in your ultimate 4 like they do yearly.
Have you ever ever seemed on the web site jokers updates.com? You may learn stay updates from the stay feeders. Additionally, you possibly can see a snapshot of who’s HOH, nominated, have Nots, and many others. Additionally they provide you with an actual time viewer ranking of the houseguests. Naturally, Lisa and Angela have been on the backside constantly.
Remark: Sure, however I’ve stayed away from it this season. I’ve gone a full week with principally with the ability to scroll previous something that’s popped up on TikTok FYP or my IG search web page.
