In this episode of After Reality, I dive into all things pop culture with a special focus on The Bachelor franchise. From Kaitlyn Bristowe spilling the tea on her breakup with Jason Tartick to Gabby Windey’s candid comments about Clayton Echard, I’m breaking it all down. I also discuss the latest developments concerning DeAnna Pappas, including her recent arrest and subsequent statement clarifying that no charges were filed against her.

But it’s not all headlines—I’m opening up about my own marriage, dishing out some personal anecdotes. Plus, I’ve got TV recommendations covered, from the jaw-dropping White Lotus finale to the heartwarming Love on the Spectrum. It’s all served up with my signature conversational style, mixing reality TV drama, true crime, and a dash of real life for good measure.

Behind the Game: On this episode of After Reality, I sit down with Million Dollar Secret star Sydnee Falkner to dive into her experience on Netflix’s newest reality competition. As someone who’s been in the reality TV world myself, I couldn’t help but admire Sydnee's gameplay and draw parallels to my own time in the spotlight. We chat about everything—from the intense and isolating filming process to the shock of the show’s massive success. Sydnee opens up about the challenges of returning to real life, including navigating online criticism, and we explore what it really means to be labeled a “villain” in the game. She also shares the personal motivations behind competing for that million-dollar prize and how her journey was deeply connected to her family. This is a must-listen for reality TV fans who love behind-the-scenes drama and strategy talk.

This week, I’m joined by the one and only Reality Steve to break down The Bachelor finale drama! From rumors swirling around the lead’s choices to the dumped contestant’s epic social media shade, we’re unpacking all the juicy details—and trust me, it’s spicier than ever.

Steve also spills all the tea on his upcoming 80s-themed 50th birthday bash in Vegas! Think neon vibes, big hair, and a hilarious roast by Dave Neal that’s guaranteed to make him squirm (in the best way). I’m dying to be there, though there’s a tiny chance reality TV is calling my name, again?

We also dive into the future of The Bachelor franchise and share our bold predictions for the wild Bachelor in Paradise hybrid season, blending contestants from The Bachelor and The Golden Bachelor.

To wrap it up, Steve teases some exciting guests coming to his podcast and gives us the inside scoop on his sold-out Vegas celebration. It’s an episode packed with laughs, tea, and a little Vegas magic—you won’t want to miss it!

In this episode, I break down the finale of Grant Ellis's season and After the Final Rose. I spill the tea on the iconic Bachelor rings—did you know they can cost up to $100K, come with serious insurance, and are only yours to keep after two years of being engaged? Of course, I also play fashion police, giving my take on Grant’s questionable shirt choice during the finale.

I chat about meeting the owners of a winery featured on “Game of Roses” and preview exciting upcoming reality shows, including a “Golden Bachelor” and “Bachelor in Paradise” hybrid. To wrap it up, I share personal updates about my family, the challenges of podcasting, and my current TV favorites like White Lotus, 1923, and a true crime documentary.

Papa Robertson is back to discuss a variety of topics. We revisited the idea of goal setting from a conversation we had back in January, encouraging listeners to reassess their progress three months into the year. We also had some fun reviewing the current season of The Bachelor, sharing our thoughts on the contestants and the overall quality of the show. We couldn't help but notice that the Bachelor mansion is starting to look a bit tired. We also took a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about a family pet, and touched on current events like the attack on Sean Lowe by his rescue dog. The episode wrapped up with my dad offering some general life advice, reflecting on his own progress with his goals, and sharing some exciting upcoming travel plans.

My husband Humberto and I dive into our lives as parents to three young children. We chat about the importance of taking time for ourselves, like date nights and mini-breaks, to recharge our mental health and nurture our relationship. Humberto shares his experience of leaving his government job after six years due to financial pressures and starting a new career, while I talk about how I balance real estate with podcasting.

We also talk about our recent Valentine's Day getaway, where we had the chance to unwind—watching TV shows, enjoying sushi, and simply appreciating uninterrupted time together. We both reflect on the joy of simple pleasures, like spending quality moments with friends and family, as well as the challenges and rewards of raising young kids. In the end, we express our gratitude for the support we give each other and tease some exciting things we have coming up in the future.

Sitting down with Zachary Reality to dive into recent Bachelor Nation drama. Zachary opens up about Carolina’s decision to publicly share their private text messages, expressing his sense of betrayal, especially considering the support he offered her throughout the season. We discuss how Zachary consistently aimed to assist Carolina as a friend and how she should have trusted his intentions instead of feeling targeted.

We then shift our focus to the hometowns episode, analyzing the journeys of the remaining women—Juliana, Litia, Zoe, and DIna. A notable point of discussion is DIna’s family’s choice to abstain from appearing on television.

To wrap up, Zachary and I touch on various other topics, including Ally (James Kennedy’s ex) and Zachary’s upcoming trip to Chicago.
