The “Bachelor” Zach – Finale Thoughts, Charity’s Filming, Zach on the Hot Seat Last Night, & Your Daily Roundup – Reality Steve

One season ends, another one begins. Literally. For the first time in 15 years, the “Bachelorette” has begun filming before the “Bachelor” ended airing. Not sure if that’s gonna be the norm going forward. We’ll have to wait and see. But I think we’ll know based on the start date of the “Bachelor” next January. If it’s not the first Monday in January (which I don’t expect it to be due to NFL Wild Card Playoff games on ABC), then unless they push “Bachelorette” filming back, this could possibly be our new norm. After watching last night, of course everyone is clamoring for a season of Gabi as the “Bachelorette” due to what she had to go through on stage, which I’ll cover later on today. It’s a whole other discussion. But with this season over, and another correct spoiler that you had on Feb. 6th, just two episodes into the season, I think I can say I’m just relieved now I don’t have to hear any more from TikTok gossip mongers, or IG accounts thinking they have a spoiler 2 months ahead of time, etc. As we head into next season, that’s my plea to all of you. Never send me anything that those people say ever again. It’s pointless. I don’t care what other sites say. Ever. If I did, wouldn’t I have released this seasons spoiler earlier than Feb. 6th? When I hear from my sources, that’s when you’ll get your info. Not when mostly nameless, faceless people with zero track record claim to have all these sources and they all end up being wrong. As I always say, you know where to get your spoilers. I’m not going anywhere, and I’m going to be right way more often than I’m not. Another successful season.

Get your “Reader Emails” in today for tomorrow’s column because it’ll be the last one until June 28th, which is the first Wednesday of Charity’s season (more on that in a bit). I’m sure you’ve got thoughts, comments, questions, stemming from what we saw last night, so email me at steve@realitysteve.com today and your email will make tomorrow’s column.
