You are listening to the Daily Roundup. Here is part of the Reality Steve podcast. I am your host, Reality Steve. Good show for you heading into the weekend.

We are going to talk about something that Chris Harrison broke on his podcast earlier this week when talking with Sean Low.

Twitter has removed my blue check mark. I'm in tears. Not really.

We are going to talk a little bit more about follows on Instagram. I've told you for the longest time they don't mean shit.

We'll know they do. I'll tell you why. We've got a remake of a movie coming out that I absolutely cannot stand.

We'll get to that momentarily. Let's start out with this. I don't know if you heard it.

I didn't listen to it, but there was a recap on one of the websites that I read. Chris Harrison had Sean Low on his podcast earlier this week.

You remember I don't remember what season it was of Bachelor in Paradise. But remember they had an after show of Bachelor in Paradise for a couple of seasons.

I think they did it maybe twice for two seasons, like after the Tuesday episode ended. There was a Bachelor in Paradise after show.

And one of the seasons it was hosted by Sean Low and Michelle Collins, I believe, the comedian.

And everyone was wondering why is it Chris Harrison hosting the show? It didn't make any sense. He's the only host we had ever known in this franchise outside of one season of Bachelor Pad.

Didn't he co-host with Melissa Rycroft? But that was it. And Chris talked about it on his podcast this week.

And basically what he said was right around that time is when he had gotten the who wants to be a millionaire gig.

And once he got the who wants to be a billionaire gig, apparently Mike Fleiss at the time was not thrilled.

I don't know if he expected Chris Harrison to only do the Bachelor. There clearly wasn't anything in his contract that said you can only do this because then he wouldn't have been allowed to host the syndicated version of who wants to be a millionaire.

But Chris Harrison basically said on his podcast, fly so I wasn't happy with me. He goes, I don't really know why.

But he wasn't happy that I had taken another job, even though it wasn't interfering at all with my bachelor duties and my bachelor at duties and my bachelor in Paradise duties.

But basically they brought Sean in at the last minute as almost a negotiating ploy and to kind of stick it to Chris and say, you're not as indispensable as you think you are.

It's essentially the gist I got from not listening but reading what the quotes that Chris had about it was Fleiss was trying to strong arm him and tell him, hey, you can be replaced.

Now, if you remember those shows, I didn't think they were very good.

And Sean was put in a position where I don't think Sean had ever hosted anything in his life before. So I'm not going to sit here and bash the guy for how he hosted the show when he'd never hosted anything before.
