Fairly the journey I had the final 5 days. As you recognize, went to Vegas for March Insanity Wed-Sat and, nicely, lets simply say I’ve had higher weekends there at each the tables and betting the video games. Man, we had loads of underdogs successful outright in Rd 1, but I occurred to be on all of the fallacious ones aside from one – James Madison. Whereas Duquesne, Oakland, Nc St and others have been pulling off the upsets, I used to be on Coll of Charleston, Samford, and McNeese St. So yeah, positively had higher weekends there. And oh yeah, I received some form of 24 hr abdomen bug once I was there as nicely. Enjoyable occasions I inform ya. Then headed to Orange County on Sat & Solar for my fantasy baseball draft. I do know. Essential stuff. We’ll see how that goes however I gained’t bore you with particulars of my staff aside from to say it may be the best fantasy staff ever assembled. Get again to me in 6 months. Ahhh sure, the Bachelor. Guess we have to discuss that. Something main occur final night time? I suppose so. We’ll get to all that in right now’s column. However first, some administrative stuff to take care of.
Get your Reader Emails in for the final one till Bachelorette begins up once more. E mail me at steve@realitysteve.com with any questions, queries, feedback, or normal statements about no matter and it’ll seem in tomorrows column. Final week simply received so backed up I simply did them on the Each day Roundup, however I’ll positively reply them this week.
Few issues to cowl earlier than we get to final night time. I went over this in yesterdays podcast (and briefly in todays), however the newest I’m listening to on the Bachelorette is that filming begins tonight. Appears fast, so perhaps it’s off by a day or perhaps two, however filming positively begins this week, which is the norm. It at all times begins filming week the Bachelor ends airing, so, be prepared for that. The turnaround time of the following day can be a primary, however that’s the newest I’ve heard. Additionally, they’re solely filming on the mansion for limo entrances then as a substitute of shifting into the mansion the following day, the instantly start journey abroad and their first two stops are in New Zealand and Australia. Undecided which metropolis is first, however, these are the primary two stops. They may ultimately make it again to the states bc as I discussed final week, I do know they’ll be filming in a US metropolis on the finish of April. I’ll preserve you up to date on any and all spoilers I get throughout filming.
Now I’d say for the previous 10 seasons or so (perhaps extra), we all know the Bachelor/ette Fb web page releases the potential contestants for the upcoming season 2-3 days earlier than filming begins. They usually launched them late final night time mainly proper after the present was achieved airing within the Japanese and Central time zones. 28 males have been posted to the Bachelorette Fb web page as potential contestants for Jenn’s season. As of me penning this, working with Suzana at @BachelorData, we’ve discovered 19 of them and have posted them to my Twitter account, and he or she’s posted them in her captions. One factor to notice: Of the 19 guys we’ve discovered to this point, solely considered one of them has over 7,500 followers. Some fast notes on a number of the guys:
Aaron Erb – he’s Noah’s (from Noah and Abigail) brother
Austin Ott – performed baseball at Cal State San Marcos
Kevin McDevitt – says he’s from Denver, CO however presently lives in Southern California. Moved considerably just lately.
Moze Smith – his identify is Caleb Smith, however I suppose he goes by Moze as a result of it’s on his IG web page and his nickname in Enviornment Soccer is “Moze Harmful.” Moze it’s.
Sam Nejad – is an influencer with 175,000 followers already
Spencer Conley – was instructed he was engaged a number of years in the past and the fiancé broke it off. So assume that’ll be a part of his story if he lasts for any first rate period of time.
As I get extra data on the fellows, I’ll fill you in. However sure, already beginning to hear damaging tales about a few of these guys. However that’s nothing new. I hear damaging tales about contestants yearly. Except it’s prison exercise or some severe problematic conduct, or the particular person calling them out desires to offer receipts and/or connect their identify to it, you gained’t be listening to these tales from me. I’ll go away that to the opposite websites that need to draw consideration to themselves with out realizing their hypocrisy.
