Nicely that was positively a shock. Acquired an e-mail yesterday afternoon saying they heard the Bachelor announcement was gonna be made after the present went off the air in EST and CST time zones. First I’d heard of it. And realizing that there was no dwell portion of final nights present (the Males Inform All tapes this Thursday), we definitely aren’t at finale night time, and there have been nonetheless 4 males left on Jenn’s season, simply appeared like a bizarre time to make the announcement. Lets face it, after they’ve introduced it up to now, it’s often been on the ATFR which is only a week or two earlier than filming really begins. Perhaps now this offers them extra to forged ladies who really wish to be there for the Bachelor. Then once more, this present has by no means been about discovering the lead the 25-30 most excellent matches for them. Regardless of the case, we’ve got our new Bachelor in Grant and now they’ve 4-5 weeks to advertise him since filming often begins round Sept Nineteenth-Twenty first going off previous seasons. So assuming they’re protecting the identical filming schedule, simply looks as if it is a solution to get folks speaking about him for longer and getting ladies to use late, as evidenced by government producer Robert Mills tweet final night time.
This was Mills’ tweet final night time in case you missed it:
We’re asserting Grant so shortly so folks can nonetheless apply to be on his season. Should you suppose Grant is doubtlessly the person of your desires or you already know somebody who’s apply ASAP!!! #TheBachelor

Once more, lets not lose sight of the truth that they’re casting a TV present. This doesn’t imply the one ladies allowed on Grant’s season are ladies who’re suitable with him. And it doesn’t imply they introduced him early as a result of they no functions and so they have been determined for girls to return on. We simply know this present casts the contestants earlier than they forged the lead each season, and most seasons, the contestants don’t even know who the lead is after they’ve already been accepted to be on the present. Switching issues up like that is really a optimistic factor because it appeared fairly ridiculous to do it the way in which they did up to now.
If you wish to take a look at my dwell from this previous Sunday night time, together with a really lengthy dialogue in regards to the film “It Ends With Us,” you possibly can watch the present right here:
Reader Emails once more tomorrow. Any questions, queries, feedback, or sizzling takes you’ll have ship them to steve@realitysteve.com or hit me up on IG and get your questions in for tomorrow’s column. I’m positive you’ll have extra to ask about relating to the Bachelor announcement.
In yesterday’s podcast I discussed I had a gathering relating to subsequent years Fan Appreciation Social gathering. Loads of particulars to nonetheless iron out, however the date is ready. It’s going to be on Could 31, 2025 in Las Vegas. My fiftieth birthday. As you already know, it’s at all times been the primary Friday in June, however since my birthday subsequent yr falls on a Saturday, I figured why not additionally flip it into my fiftieth and transfer the social gathering up every week. Nonetheless extra particulars to return, however, doesn’t imply you possibly can’t ebook your flight and/or resort room now and get on the checklist. Loads of room subsequent yr but it surely’s nonetheless a primary come/first serve foundation. So should you ebook a flight and e-mail your itinerary, or ebook a resort room and ship me that, you’ll be on the checklist. Simply know subsequent years social gathering would be the largest one but. Greatest venue, largest crowd, fiftieth birthday, will probably be a themed social gathering for anybody that wishes to decorate up, AND there will probably be a dwell broadcast on the venue earlier than we’ve got the common reception. Particulars will comply with within the coming months as soon as every thing is finalized, however, you will get on the checklist now by confirming a flight itinerary, a resort reserving, or should you’re a Vegas native, simply let me know what number of in your social gathering and be certain to not cancel.
Lets focus on the 2 main subjects from final night time beginning on Web page 2: Grant as the following Bachelor and Sam’s efficiency.
