The Daily Roundup you’re listening to is part of the Reality Steve Podcast. I’m your host, Reality Steve. Thanks to everyone for tuning in on Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving. I think your podcast, the Daily Roundup, is going to be a little bit shorter over the next few days, just because there’s not a lot going on right now.
Today, we will mainly discuss three topics. Last night we were covering the Dancing With the Stars finale, where Vanderpump reigns over the fact that Season 12 is possible, but not with the original cast. They’re revamping the entire cast. Sir will be a whole new group of people. And then when you hear this.
I believe Kelly Flanagan will appear on the Office Chicks podcast and discuss her breakup from boyfriend Ari Raptis for the first time. When they were actually together, she never even talked about things other than posting. picture. I don’t even know if we ever heard this person speak in the video, and anything she posted, but apparently it came out at midnight last night.
So as I record this, Kelly Flanagan has yet to talk about her breakup with Ari Raptis. We’ll get to all of this later. This is a podcast brought to you by JLo Beauty.

Cholo is beautiful. com slash reality. Steve, let’s start with Dancing with the Stars for the first time in Bachelor history. First, we entered the finals. But secondly, as you know, Joey has won Dancing with the Stars so far. I want to pay tribute to Kristen Burt, a former podcast guest who will be a future podcast guest.
Maybe we’ll get her on next week because, as I said, on yesterday’s podcast, she was on Cheryl Burke’s podcast last week and Cheryl asked her, what is your breakdown of the top five? What, she determined last week what the top five would be. She said Danny would finish fifth. Well, she didn’t say he would be Danny fifth, Steven fourth, Chandler third, Ilona second, and Joey first, as she predicted.
And that’s exactly what ended up happening. I think I am, I think the only thing I’m surprised about is that Chandler didn’t make the final two games. I believe that, and I think that just goes to show that, as we know, after 33 seasons, the show itself is not about who is the best answer, and it’s not that Joey isn’t the best answer this season, because that’s what it deserves Debatable.
He must be there. But when you watch, Ilona’s story is better than Chandler’s. Chandler was the favorite from the start. Chandler, who has a dance background, is a better dancer than Ilona, but Chandler doesn’t resonate with the audience the way Ilona does. That’s why Ilona finished second.
We’ve seen this happen many times in the show’s history. So nothing to whine or moan about. That’s it. Look, they did make a lot of money by the end of the season. I think we’ve calculated it to be between 350 and 400,000. .
You did it. Then the fourth to sixth weeks are 30,000 and the seventh to ninth weeks are 40,000. So you just add it up. Honestly, I think the number is closer to a little over 400,000 because typically you start by being on the show.
Whether you hit a 25 or a 50, congratulations Joey. I have no problem with him winning. Do I think he’s the best dancer on the show this season? No, but I do think he has a lot of character. He’s someone the audience can definitely root for. He wasn’t someone who came in as a professional dancer.
He continues to evolve throughout the show. I think that’s more what this show is about. Yes. In some seasons, someone with a professional dance background ends up winning. Charlie D’Amelio comes to mind among the many past winners, but sometimes it’s just about the story and who improved the most.
They were a cute couple and everyone loved Joey and Jenna from the beginning, you could tell I said that after Joey made it to the finals in the first episode. I said, I don’t know if he’s going to win, but he made it to the finals and he did it, can we point to that fact in his freestyle? Did Joey really dance to the Napoleon Dynamite song when Napoleon Dynamite performed?
At the talent show. This is the song he sang. This is the song that Joey did an impromptu dance to last night. Correct? OK any. Now I know a lot of guys jumped down and kept throating him. Basically shitting. OK She didn’t disparage his performance. She still gave him a nine, but she was the only judge to be critical of it.
She said she felt overwhelmed. I don’t lose sleep over it. Who cares? Joey won. It’s like, there’s no reason to complain about Kellyanne. Joey won. If he doesn’t win and her vote makes him lose, then maybe you can. But he won, so who cares what she does, especially when you get to the end and everyone gets 9s and 10s, or 10s across the board.
Look, Joey didn’t even get a 10 across the board, I believe Chandler did in her last dance, and so did Steven, and Joey didn’t even get a 30, but he still ended up winning, which shows , the judges’ scores mean nothing, and in the final episode and finals, most people only get 29 or 30 points (out of 30).
So, you can’t be like, oh, damn. Someone scored 24 points in the finals. No, this will never happen. You’ll get nine and ten in the final. So in the end it still comes down to audience voting. We know this. So it doesn’t matter. Honestly, don’t jump down my throat here either. I don’t necessarily agree with calling the performance mediocre, but have I ever seen a better freestyle than Joey’s?
Yes. I think this tennis thing is old school. It doesn’t really add anything. You know, okay. You have glowing tennis rackets and you all swing them. This has nothing to do with dancing. OK, I understand. Believe me. I have watched all 33 seasons. This is not my first season watching this show. I understand how this show works, your freestyle should be the culmination of a lot of things that have happened throughout the season or who you are as a person.
I just felt like the tennis racket didn’t add anything and I was like, wow, that’s cool. Just, okay. Joey was a tennis coach. Now they’re swinging the racket in his final freestyle move. any. I would rather it because the tennis racket has nothing to do with the dance part. Now you can say the same thing about Steven, his performance on pommel horse has nothing to do with his dancing.
Although at least. This is incorporated into his dancing to some extent. I have no idea. Like I said, I’m not, I’m fine. Joey, I don’t care about him, I’m not mad that he won. I’m not saying, man, the dance at the end was bad. It’s not bad. I just thought the tennis part was corny. That’s not to say that I found, I, I, I didn’t find it impressive.
I’m just thinking from the perspective of just now. The tennis part, the dance part were great, but he won. So who cares how many points he scores? Uh, Jen and Brooks danced with Sasha Brooks and Gleb danced together to reunite. They both teased a possible relationship. Let me just say this. I’m glad the show is over.
Can we just tell us you guys are together? I don’t know why it took so long. I firmly believe they are together and I don’t know why they haven’t announced it yet. Who knows. I believe the two of them are still together. Oh my gosh, didn’t I see the video of their rehearsal yesterday?
I’m talking about Brooks and Gleb coming to pick her up. Brooks surrounded him like Jews hopping through the Bachelor world. Her legs were wrapped around him and they were kissing. So they’re apparently back together. We never see Sasha and Jen kiss. They did tease it last night. But the last thing I want to say is, feel free to criticize Carrie Ann.
She is the most outspoken judge because her criticism of the dance will definitely disappoint the audience, whether it is the lift or the finale dance, it is very impressive. She did it. She is the only one who can do this. Whenever Derek offers criticism, he immediately shrugs it off by completely minimizing his criticism.
He would say that he only had a small sip between you but everything was perfect. Great. marvelous. here you go. Just like he does. Every time he gets criticism, he immediately covers it up in the next sentence, and he talks about the criticism almost quickly so he can get to everything else.
Great. You are outstanding. Love it. This is what he did. For someone who is an incredible dancer in his own right, I’ve always said I’m not a big fan of Derek’s judgment. I’m not talking about his scoring. He just had a hard time giving criticism to others. Because, you know, you’ve met both judges, Carrie Ann’s criticism and Derek’s criticism day and night.
All Carrie Ann would say is, I don’t like it, or I really wish you could do better. I need to feel more emotions. I need to feel musicality and stuff like that. Derek would say, yeah, your arms are extended a little bit, you’re stretching a little bit here, lifting your hips, you know, reaching out your chest, reaching out your shoulders.
And, but anyway, whatever, great, great dancing. Other than that, absolutely perfect. It seemed like that was how he judged it. like. Different people do it differently, but let’s just call it that. Carrie Ann criticizes others openly. It’s really hard for Derek to criticize someone who is a coach on this show.
I think he could be a little stricter. I knew exactly what I was going to get from Derek. Sometimes when I’m with Carrie Ann, I don’t know what’s going to come out of her mouth. I almost like it in a way because Bruno is Bruno. Then there’s Derek and Kellyanne. It’s quite the opposite when it comes to judging the dance on this show, but this season was a success, clearly their most successful in terms of voting.
Congratulations to Joey and Kelsey. Now they can get back to their normal lives and avoid all these stupid rumors about their breakup. How stupid. It’s like she’s in the audience every week. They post about each other on Tik TOK. They post about each other on Instagram and people are desperate for them to break up and get justice.
