Thanks for having me on. There we go, man. Thank you for being here. See, I just want to say something right off the bat. I don't know if you know this about me. I don't want to say I'm fairly new, but I started watching Big Brother on season 21. So I have never seen you guys. I'm well aware that Jordan Euro winner and then you guys were on season 13. You did an amazing race, but I've only got about six years along with all the celebrity Big Brothers, but I've only got about six seasons under my belt. So I'm still kind of learning strategy stuff here, but I do have plenty to say, obviously, about this season. But I just wanted to just wanted to give you a heads up of where I am in my big brother world. And I only started watching 21 because I knew Holly Allen from the bachelor world. And I saw this use on the castle. I'm like, oh, I was well watched this season of big brother and then ironically enough

I started dating someone from that season a year later, but yeah, interesting stuff From big brother. Yeah, I dated cat done for a good nine-month story. It was a COVID relationship. Let's put it that way It's COVID. Oh nice to have a friend during Exactly.

Well, that's good.

You know, it's good real quickly.

We can kind of divulge and then into you before we get into the episode Yeah, how did you get that name reality Steve? What got you into reality television? I know this is gonna sound Not the most well thought out name, but I covered reality television and I just just decided, well, let's just go at reality seat. Now this goes way back because I started covering the Bachelor franchise on the first season of the Bachelor at. So there had been two seasons of the Bachelor that had aired. And I didn't watch it, but I was aware of it. So this was early 2000s, like 2003. And then I just started covering the bachelor at after a couple other reality shows Joe millionaire and another one back then and then someone said, and I was, yeah, the original, like Evan Maria, Joe millionaire. So early 2000s. And I was writing and all it was was I was writing an email recap to my friends And it was just about Joe millionaire and it was very Different humor back then, but it was very crass, but it was funny and just giving my thoughts because they were tricking 20 women into thinking that they were gonna marry a guy who was gonna inherit 300 million when he made 20 grand a year. So I was just like, I got to see this thing play out.

And so I was just writing a recap of an email to my friends, to three friends. And then they just started forwarding it to people and people were asking, can I be under email list? I'm like, I don't even know who you are. And then the next dating show to start after that ended, once so many in our end of they I said, you're going to continue this.

I'm like, well, what's the next dating show?

Because dating is very easy to make fun of

and watch it on reality TV.

And it happened to be Trista season of the Bachelorette the first season of the Bachelorette So I just started writing that in email form and then after a while I was like I got to get a website I back then it was called a blog was even called a website back then I don't think. And I just said, I need to come up with a name for myself and I went with reality Steve.

What did you think of Rachel's gameplay this season before we get into what happened yesterday and today? See, this is interesting to me because I have had Rachel on my podcast three times. But it was to talk about traders, and I would talk to her about the big brother seasons

that were airing in the past.

But again, I could never go to her and say, how did it relate to you?

Because I never saw her play.
