You are listening to the Reality Steep podcast with your host, Reality Steep. He's got

all the latest info and behind-the-scenes juice in Peter's season of The Bachelor and

interviewing some of your favorite reality stars. Now here's Reality Steep.

What's up everybody? Welcome to podcast number 167. I am your host, Reality Steep. Thank

you all for tuning in a little bit under the weather this week. My voice is a little bit

deeper, a little congested, but I'll get through it as I know you will too, because it's

not like I'm sniffling this time. I've had a couple of those in the past that gets annoying.

So this is podcast number 167, as I said, and we are going to be talking to the host

of Temptation Island, Mark Wahlberg. We speak to him at the beginning of every season.

We speak to him at the end of every season. I know Temptation Island aired the finale

aired about a month ago. Mark's schedule didn't allow for him to come on. We couldn't

sync up, but now we finally have, and he's got some thoughts on what we saw at the end

of the season. And I've got some thoughts on what we saw at the end of the season. And

you also got to remember, Mark is the host of the show. He's not going to come out and

bash the contestants. However, I think if you read between the lines and some of his answers,

you'll know where he stands on certain things, certain people and what happened. All of

us probably have a more deeper and probably more negative conviction towards certain people

in the franchise and what happened this season. But Mark certainly explains it very well.

And we might not understand some of the decisions. These contestants have made post show, but

it doesn't mean it isn't, it can't work for them. We can have an opinion on whether or

not it will, which I'm sure a lot of you have uncertain contestants. But Mark really

goes into it and we have a lot of fun talking this week. I always love talking to Mark
