Starting tomorrow, the next 6 days will be out of town, so the situation on the website will be different. There will be no reader email tomorrow. There are only too many podcasts to record today and set up for the rest of the week. A regular daily review and sports will be held tomorrow. But the daily reviews for Thursday and Friday will be interviewed by Jacqueline Trumbull and Jackie Maroney (who are all half of Bach) respectively. Hey, I just realized they were both Jackie. Totally unplanned. Want to record these in the jar, so I didn’t have much stuff and recorded my hotel room tomorrow from tomorrow. Just make it easier to do this. Since I uploaded everything on all my laptop on the road and used hotel WiFi, it basically took twice as long to upload normally. Honestly, the last thing I want to do is to have to record something in my room in Las Vegas at night. bring it on. I have dice to roll. Anyway, that’s the timeline for the rest of the week. Then next week’s Monday and Tuesday will be something I have to record on CA as I headed there from Las Vegas on Saturday. I think it was my longest “holiday” in about 10 years. Is this really a “vacation” even if you still have to work? Although the reason I left the city was very happy, never stop working.
OK All of you have been waiting for 365 days. My first round of NCAA circuit board selection this week. A little background: So this is my record because I started releasing the first round 8 years ago. I bet every game is a loser and I have 5 thorough winners 7-4. This makes the most sense because we know that every season will feel unpleasant, so I try to focus on the losers I think will win the game directly. Even a completely lost but covered up couple is close to winning:
2017: UNC-Wilmington (+8½) vs Virginia – Winner (loss 76-71)
2018: Loyola – Chicago (+4 1/2) vs Miami – Champion (win 64-62)
2019: UC Irvine on Kansas Street (+4) – Champion (win 70-64)
2020: No matches – Joint
2021: Ohio State (+7) vs Virginia – Champion (win 72-68)
2021: Bonus Choice: UCSB (+7) vs Creighton – Winner (Loss 63-62)
2022: South Dakota Street (+2) Providence – Lost (Lost 66-57)
2022: Bonus Choice: Virginia Tech, Texas (+1) – Lost (81-73)
2023: Furman of Virginia (+5.5) – Winner (winning 68-67)
2023: Bonus Choice: Kent Street, Indiana (+4) – Lost (Lost 71-60)
2024: Cole of Charleston (+9.5) vs. Alabama – Lost (109-96)
2024: Bonus Choice: JMU (+5.5) vs Wisconsin – Winner (winning 72-61)
Without any other ADO, these are your two choices this year. Both games were prompted Thursday.
Yale (+7.5) vs Texas A&M
Bonus Choice: Drake (+6.5) vs. Missouri
Other games I also like (no particular order): Clemson (-7.5) vs McNice Street (Thursday), High Point (+7.5) vs Purdue (Thursday), St. Mary (-4) (-4) (-4) vs vanderbilt (fri), wofford (fri), wofford (+19), +19) vs tennessee (thernessee (thernessee (thernessee (thernessee)), & akron (+akron (+14) (+14) v fire firi.
If you look at all my options since 2017, including the four bonus picks I gave in 2022 and 2023, each of them covered 8 points. Trailer. These are 11 draft picks I gave in 7 years, and each of them stays within 8 points of the closing ceremony. I love playing 3 teams, 8 points trailer, so that’s why I say when I say I like to give you the drama, I always like to laugh at 8 points, and also love some fun. You don’t have to. Or, if you want to be a ballerina, that’s fine. If I had to give a 3 team this year, an 8-point trailer, I’ll go with Yale (+15.5), Drake (+13.5) and Clemson (-1/2). Good luck to everyone!
One thing I forgot to mention in the Open is that this week’s weekly podcast (which I’m recording today) is with Mark Walberg, host of Temptation Island. It moved to streaming on Netflix for the first time in history, and they immediately gave up on the entire season. I watched the whole season this weekend. In the past, when the show was on the American network and aired one episode a week, I would preview it at the start of the season and then sometimes after the season. But since the whole season is over, I want to keep him going after the whole season so we can discuss everything. By the way, if I’m honest, I think it’s their best season ever. I’ll get more details in the interview because I don’t want to spoil anything here if you haven’t watched it, but, it’s really the best thing they do, and Mark once again proves why he’s the best reality show host on TV. I don’t just say that. I think part of it is the role need Beyond him, Jesse Palmer, Chris Harrison, Phil Keoghan, Jeff Probst, and others. Pribst may be just second, just because of how much screen time he has per episode, but only this season (like any season) Mark just gives empathy, compassion, and overall sensitivity. He is playing this season and I want to appreciate it. So check Thursday.
Thoughts about spending the night last night…
– What we’ve seen in the past few seasons is getting women to show up this week to provide “advice” to the remaining 3 women. During Joey’s season, you have 3 women from Golden Bachelor appearing and talking to Kelsey, Daisy and Rachel. Now last night Daisy, Rachel and Katie Bigar appeared for their last 3 conversations with Grant. One thing we learned from these speeches? Leah has never seen a show before. Kaity talks to her and tells her all the messing incidents about Zach’s “Sex Week” that Litia has never heard of before. Chin on the floor. She couldn’t believe what happened and asked Kaity clearly, as if she didn’t know what happened overnight. That was two seasons ago.
– If Juliana is going to make dolls, do hair and make-up, and try to look good for their dates, then to be honest, the last thing she wants to do is 4 rounds on the mud. Can’t we give them a waterfall to stand out below? I’m sure she punched and didn’t have a bit of it, but, in this case, I’m very suspicious that any woman wants to go to 4 Huilin for a date, where there’s a great chance of injury. Just a bad choice.
No overtime pay, production. Oh, wait, you still won’t get it. My bad.
– No new news was heard about the position on the grant/Juliana relationship. I know many of you convinced the spoiler must have been wrong after an episode last night, or that he could even think about who to pick next week when he told Litia that he loved her, he said he was almost with Juliana and Juliana, etc. edit. I can say the best way. I’m going to say that there’s not much detail about my ending since I announced the spoilers, but I did hear one thing when I was told I was blinded by Grant’s decision. After watching last night’s episode, it makes perfect sense.
– I know a lot of people don’t understand how any woman he chose looks at this and tell him what he did to Litia could be with her. I think you just have to remember that this was 4 months ago. Many conversations have taken place since then. Not to mention, I think a lot of people know this is a TV show. Does Grant have to say he fell in love with Leah? No, I’m sure Juliana doesn’t feel good about it after the fact. Damn it, maybe it ended up causing their demise. I haven’t heard any way. I just say that while this may seem ridiculous to people who look at home, I just don’t see it as a big deal like most people do because it’s not a normal dating life. In this show, of course, it is possible to fall for multiple women. If we are honest, we see it almost every season. Some people express it in different ways.
– To be honest, whether Grant and Juliana are still together has nothing to do with what he said to Litia on the show. I just can’t see this. Of course, back in November, I guess he was preparing for her and preparing for it. But if they aren’t together, I’m just because that’s because that’s because that’s because that’s. Not to mention, I don’t know if they are broken down. They may still be a couple and are as happy as clams. Who knows? We will find out next week. However, this whole idea is that none of these women can overcome the fact that the leader may have strong feelings for more than one woman, which I think is a bit exaggerated. In real life, what if a person does this? There are definitely some women who have the right to leave him. In this environment? Um. If you ask me, the water is a little dark.
