Nicely that was undoubtedly a shock. Obtained an electronic mail yesterday afternoon saying they heard the Bachelor announcement was gonna be made after the present went off the air in EST and CST time zones. First I’d heard of it. And figuring out that there was no dwell portion of final nights present (the Males Inform All tapes this Thursday), we definitely aren’t at finale evening, and there have been nonetheless 4 males left on Jenn’s season, simply appeared like a bizarre time to make the announcement. Lets face it, after they’ve introduced it prior to now, it’s normally been on the ATFR which is only a week or two earlier than filming really begins. Perhaps now this offers them extra to forged girls who really need to be there for the Bachelor. Then once more, this present has by no means been about discovering the lead the 25-30 most good suits for them. Regardless of the case, we’ve our new Bachelor in Grant and now they’ve 4-5 weeks to advertise him since filming normally begins round Sept Nineteenth-Twenty first going off previous seasons. So assuming they’re preserving the identical filming schedule, simply looks like it is a solution to get individuals speaking about him for longer and getting girls to use late, as evidenced by govt producer Robert Mills tweet final evening.
This was Mills’ tweet final evening in case you missed it:
We’re saying Grant so shortly so individuals can nonetheless apply to be on his season. If you happen to assume Grant is probably the person of your desires or you realize somebody who’s apply ASAP!!! #TheBachelor

Once more, lets not lose sight of the truth that they’re casting a TV present. This doesn’t imply the one girls allowed on Grant’s season are girls who’re suitable with him. And it doesn’t imply they introduced him early as a result of they no purposes they usually have been determined for ladies to come back on. We simply know this present casts the contestants earlier than they forged the lead each season, and most seasons, the contestants don’t even know who the lead is after they’ve already been accepted to be on the present. Switching issues up like that is really a optimistic factor because it appeared fairly ridiculous to do it the best way they did prior to now.
If you wish to try my dwell from this previous Sunday evening, together with a really lengthy dialogue in regards to the film “It Ends With Us,” you’ll be able to watch the present right here:
Reader Emails once more tomorrow. Any questions, queries, feedback, or scorching takes you could have ship them to steve@realitysteve.com or hit me up on IG and get your questions in for tomorrow’s column. I’m positive you’ll have extra to ask about relating to the Bachelor announcement.
In yesterday’s podcast I discussed I had a gathering relating to subsequent years Fan Appreciation Social gathering. A variety of particulars to nonetheless iron out, however the date is ready. It’s going to be on Might 31, 2025 in Las Vegas. My fiftieth birthday. As you realize, it’s all the time been the primary Friday in June, however since my birthday subsequent 12 months falls on a Saturday, I figured why not additionally flip it into my fiftieth and transfer the get together up per week. Nonetheless extra particulars to come back, however, doesn’t imply you’ll be able to’t guide your flight and/or lodge room now and get on the record. Loads of room subsequent 12 months nevertheless it’s nonetheless a primary come/first serve foundation. So in case you guide a flight and electronic mail your itinerary, or guide a lodge room and ship me that, you’ll be on the record. Simply know subsequent years get together would be the greatest one but. Greatest venue, greatest crowd, fiftieth birthday, it will likely be a themed get together for anybody that desires to decorate up, AND there will likely be a dwell broadcast on the venue earlier than we’ve the common reception. Particulars will comply with within the coming months as soon as every little thing is finalized, however, you may get on the record now by confirming a flight itinerary, a lodge reserving, or in case you’re a Vegas native, simply let me know what number of in your get together and ensure to not cancel.
