Is there something in the water in Bachelor Nation? OMG, have we ever had a weekend like this where 3 different people from the cast announced they were pregnant? The three people who did so were all married to people outside the franchise, but still. If you missed my podcast yesterday, Ben Higgins and his wife Jessica are pregnant with their first child. Jenna Cooper and her husband Carl are expecting their second child next year. Madi Prewett and husband TSwizzle (or whatever he calls himself now) are also expecting. Can’t say I remember a weekend like this happening before. Granted, these are all from different eras of the show, with Ben coming in last, then Jenna (in Ali’s season), then Madi (in the bad season of Pilot Pete). Many babies are born in bachelor country, however, Rachel Recchia lost weight due to a kidney infection and her appearance was torn to shreds. It’s so terrible to hear what people wrote on her caption. People who always have some Bible verse in their profile are mothers, or both. To be honest, these are words coming from people who would never say them to her face if they saw her in public. Very sad.
There was no live broadcast last Sunday night because I was busy with some unexpected errands, but I’m back this Sunday and then in two weeks, it will most likely be moved to Friday night. That will change in a few weeks, but starting September 13th, I expect that to change most Friday nights.
Don’t forget about tomorrow’s Reader Email, so email me now at steve@realitysteve.com, hit me up on IG or Twitter DM with your questions/queries/comments. We’ve had a lot going on lately, so you definitely have some questions. Yes, I have questions. Stop calling me Shirley.
Speaking of questions, I’m going live on Gambling 101 this week. I’ll know tomorrow or the day after tomorrow when to do it. Either Friday night or Sunday night live, but I’m looking for people who want to join in and ask questions live. Anyone can join, and no question is too stupid to ask. I’m going to go as slow as possible and explain the basics of sports betting as best I can. This has nothing to do with fantasy football because that’s just picking players. I’m talking about betting online or at a casino, what it entails, what it means, what par profit is, what the over/under is, what the money line is, etc. Want to interact with you and from then on I will know if my explanation is correct and if it needs to be repeated.
Well, at the end of last night’s episode, we got the answer to how things will play out next week. I actually looked at my guide before the episode started and saw next week’s schedule and then they confirmed it but next Monday’s episode will be an overnight date and then on Tuesday they’ll be airing Men Tell All 》. That means, with Labor Day next Monday, there’s zero chance they’ll air the finale during the holiday. So, although they haven’t announced it yet, Jenn’s finale is expected to take place on Tuesday, September 3rd. I would be shocked if there was any show on Labor Day night, especially when we know the finale has a live ATFR extra.
