For the former Tannahs like me! It's nice to see how mature both Hannah and Tyler are now about each other. Also, Tyler spends a long time talking about how grateful he is to be on DWTS and working with Sharna here, which is also very sweet.

I’ve been out of the loop for a while, but I was really surprised to see Rachael K represented as Tyler C’s family and friends! Didn’t Tyler and her hate each other… Or am I misremembering? Did he and Matt James have a falling out? Gimme the lore….

PAST SEASON Maria (Joey’s season) and Shane (TFP’s unaired season) will be on the Mob

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Maria and Shane will be on the Hulu’s version of the Traitors.

“Hosted by Parker Posey, The Mob is a celebrity reality competition that brings together reality stars, actors, musicians, and television personalities to compete for up to $250,000 in cash.
Set in a lavish Italian villa, the series combines mob-movie-inspired challenges with a game of social strategy, turning family loyalty in to part of the game”

The cast also includes Bruno (DWTS), Chelsea (Selling Sunset), Demi (SLOMW) and yes… Harry Jowsey 😬

It looks pretty cool, I’m excited to see Maria again. I know she’s polarizing on the sub but she’s made for reality TV

Bachelor Happy Hour Doug Mason Interview – Part 2

The audible podcast is available now. The video link will be added later once it’s available on YouTube.

Most Memorable quote that sounds like he will be the next Bachelor.

“I came to the right show, but I found the wrong girl.”

The Proposal & His Initial Doubts
-They were offered several days together after the proposal, but Taylor left the next day..
-As they parted, Doug looked back while getting into the car and saw Taylor not paying attention and talking to someone else.
-He felt she was already moving on.

Communication After Filming
-They both wanted to see each other after filming, but communicating felt strange because they had never texted before.
-Doug was in Idaho, only a few hours away, and could have visited.
-They began planning their first happy couple visit.
-Doug wanted to spend New Year’s Eve together, but Taylor did not.
-Their communication was inconsistent, and Taylor wanted to slow things down.
-Doug understood that Taylor had children but felt she could have made New Year’s Eve work.
-In hindsight, he believes Taylor may have felt guilty because of Dakota and was pushing him away.
-Doug began to realize that separating might be better for him.
-While Taylor was filming, he stayed home, went to church, and worked out. -He felt uncertain about their relationship.
-He struggled with low self-esteem and realized he was anticipating the dopamine rush of Taylors inconsistent interactions with him.
-After recognizing this pattern, he asked for a three-day break.

The Breakup-at Happy Couple
-When Taylor arrived, Doug felt she was being fake.
-She didn’t bring a bag and was surprised he did and was planning on staying
-She told him she felt guilty but didn’t admit to cheating but he felt like she did
-Taylor cried and the breakup was respectful.

Secret Lives of Mormon Wives
-The producers asked him to sing, which may have contributed to the cast seeing him as a clout chaser.
-He felt Mikayla didn’t not like him, but Mayci and Jessi did.
-Doug was invited to appear on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives but he declined
-He felt the opportunity was intended to create a Doug-versus-Dakota storyline.
-He felt violated when Taylor shared his voice memo publicly. That was personal and they laughed at him.
-He felt he was portrayed as a villain rather than treated as a real person.

Responding to Claims That He’s a Clout Chaser
-Doug argued that, if he were seeking clout, he would not have declined the opportunity to appear on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
-He’s modeled for 10 years.
-Although he discussed his singing, he has not heavily promoted it.
-Singing has been therapeutic and healing for him and makes him feel good.
-His family is musically inclined.

Their Relationship After the Breakup
-Doug and Taylor continued speaking until a few months ago.
-Doug said the relationship was strictly platonic from his perspective.
-The duck: Taylor pointed out a bird during their first date, which Doug recalls was a seagull. (That’s it??)
-The March video: Doug described the video they made in March as a marketing ploy by Taylor intended to make Dakota jealous.
-Taylor has been reaching out to Doug, but he has not responded. He’s mentions there was no accountability in her messages but he won’t share them like she did.
-Doug says they will never rekindle their relationship.
-Despite everything, he wishes Taylor well.

I know he did the same thing with Kaitlyn. I wonder how many other bachelorettes he stopped from doing DWTS and how many other opportunities he blocked them from pursuing
