Welcome to the Daily Roundup on the Reality Steve Podcast. I’m your host, Reality Steve. Thanks for joining us. It’s a big Monday with the premiere of Bachelorette season 21 featuring Jen Tran tonight on ABC. We have a lot to discuss, including last night’s live stream and some golden bachelorette news.
First, I want to touch on the upcoming milestone of our weekly podcast, number 400, which is just weeks away. We’ll also delve into Jen’s spoilers and a 90210 story from last week.
Beginning with tonight’s premiere of Jen’s season, it’s finally here, July 8th, and Jen Tran is the 21st bachelorette, although technically the 23rd woman to hold the title due to dual seasons with Claire and Tayshia, and Rachel and Gabby.
On last night’s live stream, available on my YouTube channel, Reality Steve, I discussed various topics and shared some unseen pictures. I also took questions and went over some spoilers, which I’ll get to later.
One major topic was the golden bachelorette, currently filming Joan’s season, which started on June 21st. They’re now about two and a half weeks into filming, with completion expected by the end of the month. Notably, Kelsey Anderson’s father, Mark, who gained attention for his openness to finding love, has joined the cast. Mark’s inclusion sparks interest, given his private Instagram account shortly before filming began confirms he’s in the season.
The participation of someone like Mark, already favored by the audience, could feel biased to other contestants. However, his potential to either win or become the next golden bachelor makes him a valuable casting choice from a production perspective.
Shifting gears, this Thursday marks podcast number 399, and for the 400th episode, I’ve lined up someone special who hasn’t been on the podcast before. This milestone episode will also mark our transition to YouTube, allowing you to watch the interviews. The special guest will be Clayton Eckerd.
While Clayton has done several interviews recently, my aim is to present a different angle. Instead of focusing solely on his legal case, we’ll dive into his personal journey, mental health, and his season as one of the most controversial bachelors. This candid discussion about his relationship with Susie and his decision-making during the show will offer fresh insights.
Don’t miss this interview on July 18th, available on both audio platforms and YouTube. Subscribe to my YouTube channel, Reality Steve, for more content, including last night’s live stream.
