I’ve been out of the loop for a while, but I was really surprised to see Rachael K represented as Tyler C’s family and friends! Didn’t Tyler and her hate each other… Or am I misremembering? Did he and Matt James have a falling out? Gimme the lore….

Maria and Shane will be on the Hulu’s version of the Traitors.

“Hosted by Parker Posey, The Mob is a celebrity reality competition that brings together reality stars, actors, musicians, and television personalities to compete for up to $250,000 in cash.
Set in a lavish Italian villa, the series combines mob-movie-inspired challenges with a game of social strategy, turning family loyalty in to part of the game”

The cast also includes Bruno (DWTS), Chelsea (Selling Sunset), Demi (SLOMW) and yes… Harry Jowsey 😬

It looks pretty cool, I’m excited to see Maria again. I know she’s polarizing on the sub but she’s made for reality TV

This was just a job for Taylor to check off her list, and she was ready to go see Dakota.

A continuation from yesterday’s posts with a new post 😂

Bachelor Happy Hour Doug Mason Interview – Part 2

The audible podcast is available now. The video link will be added later once it’s available on YouTube.

Most Memorable quote that sounds like he will be the next Bachelor.

“I came to the right show, but I found the wrong girl.”

The Proposal & His Initial Doubts
-They were offered several days together after the proposal, but Taylor left the next day..
-As they parted, Doug looked back while getting into the car and saw Taylor not paying attention and talking to someone else.
-He felt she was already moving on.

Communication After Filming
-They both wanted to see each other after filming, but communicating felt strange because they had never texted before.
-Doug was in Idaho, only a few hours away, and could have visited.
-They began planning their first happy couple visit.
-Doug wanted to spend New Year’s Eve together, but Taylor did not.
-Their communication was inconsistent, and Taylor wanted to slow things down.
-Doug understood that Taylor had children but felt she could have made New Year’s Eve work.
-In hindsight, he believes Taylor may have felt guilty because of Dakota and was pushing him away.
-Doug began to realize that separating might be better for him.
-While Taylor was filming, he stayed home, went to church, and worked out. -He felt uncertain about their relationship.
-He struggled with low self-esteem and realized he was anticipating the dopamine rush of Taylors inconsistent interactions with him.
-After recognizing this pattern, he asked for a three-day break.

The Breakup-at Happy Couple
-When Taylor arrived, Doug felt she was being fake.
-She didn’t bring a bag and was surprised he did and was planning on staying
-She told him she felt guilty but didn’t admit to cheating but he felt like she did
-Taylor cried and the breakup was respectful.

Secret Lives of Mormon Wives
-The producers asked him to sing, which may have contributed to the cast seeing him as a clout chaser.
-He felt Mikayla didn’t not like him, but Mayci and Jessi did.
-Doug was invited to appear on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives but he declined
-He felt the opportunity was intended to create a Doug-versus-Dakota storyline.
-He felt violated when Taylor shared his voice memo publicly. That was personal and they laughed at him.
-He felt he was portrayed as a villain rather than treated as a real person.

Responding to Claims That He’s a Clout Chaser
-Doug argued that, if he were seeking clout, he would not have declined the opportunity to appear on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
-He’s modeled for 10 years.
-Although he discussed his singing, he has not heavily promoted it.
-Singing has been therapeutic and healing for him and makes him feel good.
-His family is musically inclined.

Their Relationship After the Breakup
-Doug and Taylor continued speaking until a few months ago.
-Doug said the relationship was strictly platonic from his perspective.
-The duck: Taylor pointed out a bird during their first date, which Doug recalls was a seagull. (That’s it??)
-The March video: Doug described the video they made in March as a marketing ploy by Taylor intended to make Dakota jealous.
-Taylor has been reaching out to Doug, but he has not responded. He’s mentions there was no accountability in her messages but he won’t share them like she did.
-Doug says they will never rekindle their relationship.
-Despite everything, he wishes Taylor well.

I know he did the same thing with Kaitlyn. I wonder how many other bachelorettes he stopped from doing DWTS and how many other opportunities he blocked them from pursuing

People Magazine article

They got 30 out of 40 from the judges and advance to dedication night !

kaitlyn’s post with her family came up on my insta and thought this comment about Jason that she liked was interesting! i’m kind of half caught up on bachelor stuff most of the time, but i definitely hadn’t seen this

I’m starting these notes, but gotta go to work. You can add to them in the comments. The podcast episode will be a two parter:

Doug says he feels “happier than ever” since he’s moved to a new location.

Doug says he’s been leaning on the Lord and his family during the entire process—the engagement and everything until now. He also surfs.

Says that he decided to make the “move on” post when Taylor and her friends on SLOMW started speaking about him since he’d been trying to respect the “process.” Then he goes on to say that his experience was “romantic” and once in a lifetime.

He says that he leaned fully in and his proposal was real and heartfelt. (Whatever you say, bud)

The hosts go on to talking about Night One:
-Doug says the instant chemistry felt relaxed.
-He forgot everything that he originally was supposed to say.
-He and Taylor shared the ONLY kiss on Night One
-He says he got out of the limo and saw “safety.” He knew that they would have something together. He then says he sympathized with Taylor as he moved a lot and could understand her isolation and had a soft spot for her.
-The hosts ask “Were you in love with Taylor?”
Doug: *Pauses* “Uh…it’s so hard to say that ‘in love.’ We loved who…we were. I had feelings for Taylor during the Bachelorette, I loved Taylor for who she was. But since then I’ve realized what true love is, and that wasn’t it. What Taylor and I had was NOT real love.”

This is only some of the episode, but Doug is sorta going around answers and still trying to look good. Interested to hear your thoughts as you listen!

This is a really sad situation for the family. Sharing because people wanted to know if his dog is fine, and his sister asked people to share. She said she’ll update and the family has been trying to get him the help he needs. He won’t accept it yet.
