My breaking point came in two ways. One was multiple failed attempts at posting a February 29th "The Bachelor" transcript that some readers and I did on Facebook messenger. I wrote a majority of the transcript out for the blog and then made a mistake during editing of erasing the whole thing. My next failed attempt was to "screen snap" the transcript. The over 30 screen snaps could not be applied to the blog. Even after downloading Google photos. Very annoying.
The other thing that led me to hold off writing about "The Bachelor" was the multiple comments I received about writing about the show. I always replied that I never watched the show before, it was just something to watch with my wife and to write about. I also explained that if you read my original entry about "The Bachelor" you would understand that. Most people, who wanted to pull my "Man Card", did not even read the post. They just saw the Facebook post about the subject of the blog.
In between my last post, I have spent a lot of time working on a podcast and now I am starting to see a similar response to the podcast I have been working on, Dap Or Crap Podcast. The idea of the podcast was to take polarizing topics in pop culture, sports, media, etc. and talk about them. We launched the show with FX's "The People V. OJ Simpson" and it was a hit. Although, we talked about other topics in the beginning of the show, we became "The OJ podcast". Talking with people who were familiar that I was involved with a podcast, they, too, pigeon holed the idea and began to refer it as "the OJ podcast".
Dap Or Crap had a great run with the FX hit and we might find a new show to break down weekly but we will continue to talk about other things, all with a bar room conversation atmosphere. This week we have a very polarizing topic about the band KISS. The topic is: Is KISS a good band or not? We will be live from PINTS tomorrow at 5:30 if you would like to give us you opinion.
I plan to write more each week. They will be about other things besides "The Bachelor". I hate that I missed writing about Wrestlemania 32 or that I did not make a better effort at a 2016 MLB predictions blog. Spoiler alert: I think it will be Cubs vs Orioles in the World Series. Cubs in 6. I will be posting soon about a fun topic that many of you have heard me talk about but never put it into text. It is one of my favorite social media experiments. Until then, I give you a quick "The Bachelor Final Rose Episode" post.
Nearly 9 million Americans watched "The Final Rose" episode. According to social media, #TeamJoJo was trending in 90% of posts about the final episode. My question is this: did anyone watch this show? It was over the moment Ben and Lauren went into the hot tub in the middle of an town that resembled McClausland, Iowa. I swear Ben stared at producers right then and asked, "Can we just quit the show now?" There is no way that JoJo was going to win. At best, she was in the "best friends with benefits zone". I am glad that Ben choose Lauren. He made the right choice.
ABC made the right choice in picking JoJo as the next "The Bachelorette". Story is that Caila was their choice but ABC changed their mind the Sunday before the Final Rose episode. Can you imagine what Kaila went through? She got dumped. And I mean DUMPED on TV. Then, ABC gets her hopes up and then the company dumps her, too! I imagine Caila is still sitting in her folk's basement, talking to herself as if a camera was still on her and she was giving a confessional.
JoJo will be excellent. She is smart, driven, and won't be fooled again. But I won't watch. I may check in on her every once in a while but I have zero desire to watch these shows ever again. I would watch a show about Chris, though.
Thanks for reading! I will be better at putting more content out there. If you like listening to podcasts and want something a little different, please download or subscribe to Dap Or Crap on iTunes.
