After Reality with Courtney Robertson

Noah Erb on Winning Bachelor Mansion Takeover, Navigating Grief & What Really Happened Behind the Scenes

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 12:48:00 GMT

On this episode of After Reality, I sit down with Noah Erb, the inaugural winner of Bachelor Mansion Takeover. And I’ll say it—Bachelor Mansion Takeover is officially the best Bachelor spin-off series. We get into what it was really like for him navigating intense DIY design challenges while carrying the emotional weight of his mother’s terminal illness.

We get into what it was really like for him navigating intense DIY design challenges while carrying the emotional weight of his mother’s illness.

Noah opens up about his journey from working in the ICU to stepping into the high-pressure world of reality TV, and how those experiences shaped the way he handled competition, stress, and vulnerability.

We also talk about grief—how losing his mom impacted him, why he chose to stay in the competition, and how he honored her throughout that experience. It’s a really honest and meaningful conversation.

Of course, we lighten things up too—getting into the behind-the-scenes moments from Bachelor Mansion Takeover, including his headline-making win, flying home with that silver suitcase in hand, and where things currently stand with Dean Bell. I had to ask… is the rivalry still alive? And more importantly—has he been paid yet?

Plus, we talk about what’s next for Noah, including his future goals, the possibility of a home renovation show (yes please), and teaming up with his wife, Abigail Erb on future projects or maybe Dean Bell?

This episode is an intimate look at the intersection of reality TV, resilience, and real-life loss—with a little competition and chaos mixed in—and one I won’t forget anytime soon.

Chad Kultgen: Coach Clues, Bachelor Strategy & the Future of the Franchise 🥀

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 10:00:00 GMT

On this episode of After Reality, I’m joined by Chad Kultgen, from Game of Roses, to break down my recent experience on Bachelor Mansion Takeover. Chad reveals his behind-the-scenes role as my “secret strategist,” helping me craft specific speeches and moments during filming to capture producer attention and maximize screen time. We also get into the controversial casting of Taylor Frankie Paul, with Chad sharing his thoughts on where the franchise stands today — why it may be lacking clear creative direction after recent production shakeups, and weighing in on where we go from here casting-wise, including whether we’ll ever actually see Taylor Frankie Paul’s season come to life.

Chad and I dive into the real mechanics of reality TV and why your relationship with producers can matter even more than the actual rules of the game.

And of course, we go a little deeper. We talk about Chad’s interest in metaphysics, his experiences with lucid dreaming, and even his one-of-a-kind political podcast featuring his parents, The Necessary Conversation.

Christopher Stallworth on The Golden Bachelorette & Bachelor Mansion Takeover (Behind the Scenes)

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 20:47:18 GMT

On this episode of After Reality, I sit down with Christopher Stallworth to talk about his unique experience filming not one, but two reality shows alongside Joan Vassos—The Golden Bachelorette and HGTV’s Bachelor Mansion Takeover.

We get into his unexpected casting story, what really goes on behind the scenes, and how he stayed grounded while navigating it all—including the reason he ultimately turned down Bachelor in Paradise. Christopher opens up about leading with authenticity, being a positive force on set, and why being a team player mattered so much to him throughout the experience.

He also drops some real wisdom on finding your “why” and stepping into your purpose, sharing how faith and manifestation have guided his path into the entertainment world. More than anything, this conversation reflects the genuine friendship we built and our shared gratitude for the wild, once-in-a-lifetime opportunities that come from being part of Bachelor Nation.

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 03:29:09 GMT

Today on After Reality, I’m sitting down with the incredibly talented builder and TV personality, Mitch Oaks—also known as Mitch the Maker!

We recently filmed Bachelor Mansion Takeover together, and let me just say… this man does not mess around when it comes to bringing big ideas to life. From swinging hammers to creating jaw-dropping transformations, Mitch is the real deal—and he’s quickly becoming a fan favorite in the HGTV world.

In this episode, we get into his backstory—how he got started, what it really takes to make it in the building world, and what it’s like filming for HGTV versus reality TV. We also talk about the pressure of seeing your work on screen, whether he actually watches himself back, and yes… we get into his relationship status.

From craftsmanship to camera time, this episode is all about what happens when creativity meets reality TV—and trust me, you’re going to love getting to know Mitch beyond the tools.

After Reality: My Bachelor Mansion Takeover Exit, Redemption & Final Challenge — What You Didn’t See

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 21:40:17 GMT

In this episode of After Reality, I’m sharing my heart and my journey on Bachelor Mansion Takeover—the highs, the growing pains, and the moment it all came to an end. From navigating creative differences with my team during the fireplace renovation to finding my voice in a high-pressure environment, this experience truly pushed me in ways I didn’t expect.

I was also showing up and competing while playing hurt most days, which made every challenge that much more personal. Getting a second chance through the redemption twist meant so much to me, especially hearing such kind words from guest judge Nate Berkus. It gave me the confidence to step into my first solo challenge—designing and building a terrace bar that felt like me. Even though that moment marked the end of my time on the show, it was something I’m incredibly proud of.

At the core of it all was my “why”—wanting to win that prize money to build a pool for my kids. That dream carried me through every long day, every tough moment, and every small win along the way.

I’m walking away with so much gratitude. I stayed true to myself, trusted my instincts, and built friendships I’ll cherish long after the cameras stopped rolling. This one means a lot 🤍

Former Bachelor Producer Adam Mansfield on the Future of the Franchise & Casting Conversations

Mon, 30 Mar 2026 17:55:13 GMT

On this episode of After Reality, I’m joined by former Bachelor producer Adam Mansfield, who weighs in on the current state of the franchise, the pressure to evolve, and what today’s audiences are really looking for. We also get into the buzz around Taylor Frankie Paul potentially stepping in as the next Bachelorette—and what that kind of casting could mean for the future of the show.

From there, we go behind the scenes of Adam’s time on The Bachelor, where he shares what it’s really like producing a 24/7 reality show, the emotional connections formed with contestants, and how he mastered the ultimate producer poker face. We also revisit the magic of “Happy Couple” weekends (yes, he was part of making those happen) and what it takes to pull off international filming and travel at that level.

Now a dad and producing for the Food Network, Adam opens up about how his career has evolved and where life has taken him after stepping away from the franchise.

If you’ve ever wondered what’s happening behind the curtain—and what’s next for The Bachelor—this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

Dean Bell on HGTV, Winning the Golden Hammer & Life After Reality TV

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 20:18:36 GMT

On this episode of After Reality, I’m sitting down with fellow Bachelor alum Dean Bell—and we’re diving into what it’s really like going from receiving roses to swinging hammers.

We get into our experience filming at the Bachelor Mansion for this new HGTV renovation series, and let’s just say… it was no walk in the park. I’m talking long days, real physical labor, and learning how to work (and survive) alongside a house full of big personalities. It’s competitive, chaotic, and honestly, so much fun to relive. We also get into how different it is filming a home renovation show versus a dating show.

Dean also spills on winning the coveted “Golden Hammer” and the strategy behind it—including one very bold (and slightly mischievous) move involving a blue-painted ceiling that definitely got people talking.

Beyond the competition, we shift gears and talk about Dean’s personal life. He opens up about his decision to change his last name to Bell in honor of his late mother, his marriage, and what life looks like for him these days in Colorado. From his background in construction to his unexpected love for his cat Karl, it’s a side of Dean I think people are really going to connect with.

It’s a fun, honest conversation about growth, reinvention, and what life can look like after reality TV—because sometimes going from roses to hammers leads you exactly where you’re meant to be.

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 15:50:30 GMT

In this episode of After Reality, I sit down with Cindy Cullers, the standout from The Golden Bachelor, for a candid and heartfelt conversation about her experience on the show—and what life really looks like after reality TV.

We dive into her casting story, the friendships she built along the way, and how she’s navigated the post-show chatter, including her portrayal and dynamics within the cast. Cindy shares how she’s choosing to move forward with grace, honesty, and a strong sense of self.

Of course, we go beyond reality TV. We get into all things wellness—from hair growth journeys to her fascinating background in biomedical engineering—and how those passions continue to shape her next chapter.

We also talk about dating after the show, what she’s looking for now, and whether she’d ever consider stepping back into the spotlight… possibly as the next Golden Bachelorette 👀

It’s a real, thoughtful conversation about reinvention, resilience, and finding your footing after reality TV—with plenty of insight, a little behind-the-scenes perspective, and a lot of heart. 💫

The Bachelorette Cancelled: Taylor Frankie Paul Scandal Explained | ft. Brad Smith

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 18:04:39 GMT

In this episode of After Reality, I’m sharing my initial thoughts on the shocking cancellation of The Bachelorette season starring Taylor Frankie Paul.

I break down what we know so far following the release of a disturbing video reported by TMZ, which includes allegations of domestic violence and details surrounding a toxic relationship with her ex-partner. From the network’s decision to scrap a fully filmed season to the bigger questions around casting and accountability, I’m giving my real-time, unfiltered reaction to how this all unfolded.

In the second half of the episode, I’m joined by Brad Smith, the first-ever lead of The Bachelor Canada, who brings a former lead’s perspective to the conversation. We dive into the financial and cultural fallout for the franchise, whether producers ignored major red flags in an effort to chase ratings, and what this means for the future of the show.

This episode explores what could be a major turning point for reality TV, as we question whether The Bachelor franchise can recover from a scandal of this magnitude—and where it goes from here.

I return to TV on HGTV’s Bachelor Mansion Takeover with a behind-the-scenes look at the renovation competition where 12 Bachelor alums compete for $100,000. I play a clip revealing who voted for me, reflect on early vulnerability in the game, and ask: am I an easy target because I have kids? Are opinions like assholes? What would you do with $100,000?

I’m back with a solo life update — and I’m officially returning to TV for the first time in 14 years with HGTV’s Bachelor Mansion Takeover. I’m sharing the real behind-the-scenes prep (mom guilt, body changes, and the very humbling moment I forgot my entire makeup bag), plus a quick reality TV roundup with Traitors finale spoilers. And because you know I love a true crime moment, I’m also talking about Clayton Echard’s new podcast Love Trapped and why it’s worth a listen.

Mom Talk: Valentine’s Day Edition — Love Languages, Marriage & Motherhood

Fri, 13 Feb 2026 18:10:29 GMT

In this Mom Talk: Valentine’s Day Edition of After Reality, I’m reflecting on the many sides of this holiday — the sweet stuff, the pressure, and everything in between. I’m celebrating my seventh Valentine’s Day with my husband (the longest Valentine I’ve ever had), and sharing how I’m trying to create meaningful traditions for our three kids — inspired by how my mom always made Valentine’s Day feel so special when I was growing up.

I also take a minute to honor Catherine O’Hara and James Van Der Beek, and how their passing had me thinking about nostalgia, legacy, and the people who shape us. Along the way, I share a few personal stories — from affordable gifts to family memories — and invite you to zoom out and think about what love really means to you.

And yes — we keep it a little spicy too. I’m talking love languages, including physical touch, and how intimacy can look different in the thick of parenting… but still matters. Because sometimes love isn’t a grand gesture. Sometimes it’s the small, everyday things — and showing up for each other in the middle of real life.

February Goal Check: Simple Health, Money & Mindset Habits (with Papa Robertson)

In today’s episode of After Reality, I’m joined by my dad (your favorite) Papa Robertson for a February check-in—and some simple, practical ways to feel better now and keep that momentum going into the rest of the year.

We talk about a few lifestyle goals that can make a big difference: choosing real, direct human communication, staying physically active, and tightening up finances by cutting those sneaky little daily expenses that add up fast. Papa also shares his go-to wellness advice—moderating alcohol, steering clear of overly processed foods, and taking a step back from the stress of the 24-hour news cycle.

We also get into minimalism and doing an “energy audit”: focusing on the people and habits that lift you up, and letting go of the toxic stuff that drains you. And to wrap it all up, we lean into personal growth—reading classic books, spending more time in nature, and finding joy in new hobbies (yes, including Papa and his ukulele era).

Secrets From a Hollywood Matchmaker: Jaydi Samuels Kuba on Your Last First Date

Fri, 30 Jan 2026 14:33:46 GMT

In this episode of After Reality, I’m joined by Jaydi Samuels Kuba — a Hollywood matchmaker, dating coach, and former Family Guy writer — to talk all things modern dating and what it really takes to find a lasting relationship. Jaydi shares insights from her newly released book, Your Last First Date: Secrets From a Hollywood Matchmaker (out January 27), and breaks down why dating can feel extra complicated in high-pressure worlds like entertainment (and honestly… just in general these days).

We get into her matchmaking philosophy — focusing on quality, true compatibility, and ethical boundaries, rather than promising a certain number of “matches” like some high-cost agencies. Jaydi also opens up about her own love story, including the wild (and very unconventional) way she met her husband… who was originally a client, and yes, she eventually broke her own rules.

Plus, she gives practical, actionable advice you can actually use right now: how to navigate physical attraction, communicate boundaries without killing the vibe, and update your online dating profile so it reflects the real you (and attracts the right people).

Then we get into Kat Izzo spilling the tea on her breakup with Dale Moss—what she’s said publicly, what stood out to us, and why Bachelor Nation can’t stop talking about it...

We also weigh in on the controversial casting of Colton Underwood on The Traitors, share an update on the ongoing legal investigation involving Laura Owens, and wrap with a few lighter tangents on nostalgic pop culture, winter weather, and whatever we’re currently into. Hot takes, honest opinions, and plenty of laughs along the way.

After Reality Update: Courtney Robertson + Humberto Preciado on Marriage, Work, and 3 Kids

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 00:23:00 GMT

In today’s episode of After Reality, I’m joined by my husband, Humberto Ramon Preciado — back on the mic with me after a long break. We’re sharing a real-life catch-up on what’s been going on behind the scenes, from his career shift (from criminal prosecutor to personal injury attorney at a local firm) to some eye-opening thoughts on insurance, work culture, and what he’s learned along the way.

We also get into the heart of our current season: parenting three little ones. Humberto opens up about what it was really like running the house solo while I was away filming, and we talk honestly about the chaos, the pressure, and what actually helped us get through it. Routine worked because it gave the kids predictability and gave Humberto a game plan. Same anchors every day = fewer power struggles, less chaos, and more peace.

Along the way, we touch on Humberto’s personal backstory — including his early FBI dreams and the academic path that helped shape his career — and we wrap things up with a few sweet kid milestone updates and some fun streaming TV recommendations to add to your watch list.

Abbey Sharp, RD: The Hunger Crushing Combo (Fiber, Protein + Healthy Fats) — A Non-Diet Approach to Nutrition

Sun, 18 Jan 2026 16:01:25 GMT

In today’s episode of After Reality, I’m joined by registered dietitian Abbey Sharp for a refreshing, evidence-based conversation about nutrition that isn’t rooted in restriction or diet culture. Abbey breaks down her “Hunger Crushing Combo” — a simple framework built around fiber, protein, and healthy fats — and explains why focusing on what you can add to your plate is often more sustainable than obsessing over what to cut out.

Abbey also opens up about her personal history with orthorexia and how that experience shaped her mission to help people build a more peaceful relationship with food. We talk about blood sugar balance, honoring hunger cues, and what “healthy” can look like when it’s actually realistic for real life.

Plus, we get into the impact of social media on body image, along with practical wellness topics like supplements, sleep, and navigating nutrition through menopause. If you’re looking for a grounded approach to feeling your best — without the all-or-nothing mindset — this episode is for you.

MLK’s Montgomery Church: Wanda Battle on Dexter Avenue King Memorial + Civil Rights History, Hope & “This Little Light of Mine” ✨

Thu, 15 Jan 2026 17:25:46 GMT

In this episode, I’m joined by Wanda Battle — a Montgomery native, historian, and the founder of Legendary Tours — for a conversation that feels like stepping straight into living history. Wanda shares what it was like growing up in a segregated community with deep family ties to the Civil Rights Movement, and how those experiences shaped her lifelong mission to spread unity, light, and understanding through storytelling and music.

Wanda also reflects on her time as a curator at the Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church, offering a powerful, personal perspective on the leadership and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., as well as Reverend Vernon Johns. Along the way, she shares meaningful memories from her tours, including a moving encounter with a former guest that captures exactly why Wanda’s presence leaves such a lasting impact.

Beyond the history, Wanda opens up about her own journey through adversity, what self-forgiveness has taught her, and why she believes choosing happiness and love is a daily decision — especially in today’s world. This conversation is a reminder to stay hopeful, stay curious, and keep our light on.

After Reality: 2026 Reset — Mom Goals, Pop Culture News & Bachelor Nation Headlines

Tue, 13 Jan 2026 00:35:05 GMT

Kicking off 2026, I’m coming out of the holiday chaos and back into a routine — and I’m sharing my vision for the year ahead. I’m breaking down the goals I’m focusing on across my four pillars: family systems, health and longevity, career growth, and community — because if I don’t get organized, nobody in this house will.

I also get personal about pregnancy in my 40s and how it’s made me reflect on the emotional, bittersweet shift out of the childbearing years. Mandy Moore shared a post that really stuck with me, and it opened up a bigger conversation about what this season looks like — physically, mentally, and emotionally — when you’re building a life and a family at the same time.

And of course, we’re not skipping the headlines. I’m sharing the pop culture moments that stood out — including Spencer Pratt’s political aspirations — plus Bachelor Nation updates and my latest take on Mel Owens and Peg (yes, I’ve changed my tune). We also get into the late-night comment drama making the rounds… and I’m asking the question everyone’s thinking: is this “mean girl” behavior, or are people just being too sensitive? It’s equal parts intention-setting and “did you SEE this?” energy. Welcome to 2026 with me.

Tue, 23 Dec 2025 16:38:25 GMT

I’m joined by Bachelor Nation favorite Ben Higgins, and we’re talking about what life really looks like after reality TV — from stepping into fatherhood to finding a deeper sense of purpose.

Ben opens up about the emotions of celebrating his daughter’s first Christmas, the personal growth he’s experienced since his Bachelor days, and how his spiritual journey has evolved over the years. We also dive into the expanded edition of his book, Alone in Plain Sight, where he explores loneliness, vulnerability, and faith in a way that feels honest and relatable.

We talk about why he’s shifted toward service and philanthropy, how Generous Coffee has become part of that mission, and the work he’s passionate about when it comes to supporting people experiencing homelessness. Ben also shares what he’s building next — including upcoming faith-based programming with iHeartMedia — and gives his take on the current state of the Bachelor franchise.

This conversation is heartfelt, real, and grounding… and Ben’s message is simple: you’re not alone, and there’s always a way back to connection and purpose.

We also tackle a few current Bachelor Nation headlines — yes, including a certain podcaster’s recent mom-shaming blunder (looking at you, Nick Viall). Consider this our friendly reminder that if you don’t have something supportive to say… maybe don’t say it on a podcast with millions of listeners.

Stop People-Pleasing: Fight, Flight, Freeze & Fawn Somatic Healing with Kallie Somatics

Wed, 10 Dec 2025 18:03:59 GMT

On this episode of After Reality, I’m diving into one of my favorite topics as a recovering people-pleaser: the nervous system. I’m joined by somatic practitioner Kallie Klug (aka Kallie Somatics), host of the Your Own Medicine podcast, who breaks down what really happens in our bodies when we shift into fight, flight, freeze… and the response almost no one talks about: fawn.

If you’ve ever apologized to keep the peace, said “yes” when you meant absolutely not, or shut down in conflict just to survive the moment, you might actually be fawning — a biological survival strategy wired for protection, not politeness. Kallie explains how fawning differs from everyday people-pleasing, how these patterns get formed, and why “just speak up!” doesn’t stick when your body doesn’t feel safe.

We talk nervous system triggers, how trauma shapes behavior, and why so many of us feel tired, resentful, and burned out from being “good” all the time. Kallie also shares practical somatic tools for boundary-setting (especially during the holidays) and we get into her upcoming book, Tired of Being "Good": A nervous system map for reinhibiting your body after a lifetime of fawning.

Gift Smarter, Not Harder: Top Holiday Gifts for Every Love Language + Papa Robertson’s Picks

Fri, 05 Dec 2025 11:26:05 GMT

It’s that time of year again — the After Reality Holiday Gift Guide is here! Before we get swept up in the sparkle (and stress) of shopping, I’m starting with something that truly makes gift-giving easier: the five love languages. Once you know how your people feel most appreciated, choosing the right gift suddenly becomes… dare I say… fun?

In our house, we’re leaning more into experience gifts over “stuff.” Don’t get me wrong — I still love a gorgeous kitchen gadget, personalized accessories, and a chic, elevated loungewear set that can survive drop-offs and all-day errands. But the older my kids get, the more I’m realizing that tickets to the zoo or a year-round membership last way longer than the toy that’s played with twice and turns into clutter.

This year, I’m sharing my favorite picks across every category — from high-quality cookware to cozy little splurges for moms, dads, in-laws, teachers, and that impossible person who claims they “don’t need anything.”

I even phoned in backup from Papa Robertson. He came through with unexpectedly genius, budget-friendly ideas: magazine subscriptions, practical staples like flashlights (yes, flashlights), and timeless classics like books and digital photo frames. Leave it to Dad to keep it simple and smart.

This episode is all about thoughtful gifting without overdoing it — choosing items that bring joy, create memories, or simply make life easier. Whether it’s a Dyson vacuum you’ll use forever or a family outing they’ll never forget, let’s make this season meaningful instead of overwhelming.

Meghann Turner Married at First Sight Interview – What Really Happened After MAFS Season 19 | After Reality

Tue, 02 Dec 2025 22:40:18 GMT

On this week’s episode of After Reality, I’m sitting down with Meghann Turner from Season 19 of Married at First Sight—my personal standout of the season. Meghann is funny, strong, real, and a fellow true-crime lover, so we hit it off right away. Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussion of pregnancy loss.

In our conversation, Meghann walks me through her MAFS journey—from filming and navigating a marriage on camera to the emotional highs and lows that came with it. She opens up about her relationship with Derrek Wiedeman, the frustration on how hard it was when serious conversations only seemed to happen once the cameras were rolling.

Meghann also bravely shares what happened after Decision Day, including the heartbreaking miscarriage she experienced and the sudden end of her marriage when Derrek moved on soon after. She talks honestly about confronting him at the reunion and the pain of that moment.

Today, Meghann is focused on therapy, healing, and stepping into new chapters—both personally and professionally. She’s rebuilding her life with a strong community of support around her, and even exploring online dating as she rediscovers what love and connection look like after MAFS. Her strength, honesty, and resilience shine through, and I’m so grateful she chose to share her story with us.

Reality TV, Trader Joe's, and the Anti-Meatball Campaign

On this week’s episode of After Reality, I’m joined by Daniel, the mayor of Huntington Beach, and we’re diving headfirst into all things reality TV. Daniel shares his 15-week self-imposed fitness “boot camp” journey, and we talk about why actual human interaction at the grocery store beats self-checkout any day. It’s a little reality TV, a little Trader Joe’s, a little fitness — and a whole lot of fun. We break down the latest season of Married at First Sight — what went down, which couples made it, and all the relationship dynamics we can’t stop analyzing.

We also wander into a few of our other obsessions, including The Summer I Turned Pretty, some true crime recommendations, and even the unhinged hype around those limited-edition Trader Joe’s tote bags.

Fri, 14 Nov 2025 22:24:49 GMT

This week on After Reality, I’m diving into the Mel Owens finale of The Golden Bachelor and sharing all my unfiltered thoughts — plus a cameo from Papa Robertson, who I called mid-episode for his take (and trust me, he had opinions).

Between Bachelor commentary, I’m catching you up on real life behind the scenes: juggling back-to-back kids’ birthdays, navigating school volunteer hours, and organizing a full K-Pop–themed “Paloma Golden 4 Ever” birthday celebration.

I’m also chatting about what I’m currently watching, reading, and listening to, a few unexpected thoughts on driving safety, and even a moment under the Beaver Moon. It’s a little pop culture, a little mom life, and a whole lot of real talk — just how we like it.

Mom Mode Activated: When Real Life Outshines The Bachelor

Fri, 07 Nov 2025 21:31:22 GMT

This week on After Reality, I’m giving you a real-life update — from the chaos of holiday prep to the very scary moment I found a razor blade in my child’s Halloween candy (yes, really). Between that and fighting off a bug, I decided it might be time for a little digital detox and holiday breather.

Of course, I couldn’t stay away from Bachelor Nation drama — I’m breaking down Gerry Turner’s tell-all (and the tea on his divorce from Theresa Nist), plus my honest take on the low-energy Golden Bachelor season featuring Mel Owens.

I’m also sharing a few TV recs to cozy up with and a quick family check-in — Humberto caught the Dodgers’ World Series win from Vegas, and let’s just say… he’s still celebrating.

Grab your mom hat and join me — because sometimes the reality off-screen is even wilder than what’s on TV. 💫

Catching Up After Reality TV: Anniversary Updates, Kevin Federline, MTV News & Bachelor Drama 🔥

Thu, 23 Oct 2025 15:04:54 GMT

This week on After Reality, I’m catching up on life after filming and getting back into the rhythm of everyday life post-reality TV. I’m sharing personal updates, including celebrating my five-year wedding anniversary with a much-needed parent getaway, and a heartwarming reunion with my friend and former Bachelor castmate, Casey Shteamer Patak.

Then, I dive into Kevin Federline’s new book, You Thought You Knew, which really surprised me. I found it heartfelt and honest — more of a love letter to his kids than a money grab — as he opens up about his life, his relationship with Britney Spears, and what fatherhood has meant to him.

And yes — I officially met my new AI co-host, Echo (I even found out what Echo was wearing… and might’ve said “I love you”). Stay tuned till the end for my thoughts on the latest Bachelor Nation headlines: Mel Owens hometowns, Gerry Turner’s tell-all, new engagements, and Rachel Kirkconnell on Extra Dirty.

After Reality: Reality Steve Dishes on Bachelor Nation Cruise Drama, Final BIP Couples, Next Bachelor Talk, & More!

Thu, 04 Sep 2025 01:36:30 GMT

In this episode, Reality Steve and I dive deep into the latest buzz surrounding Bachelor Nation, and trust me, there’s a lot to unpack! We kick things off by breaking down the upcoming Bachelor Nation cruise — from its jaw-dropping price tag to the big names involved, like Tyler Cameron and Jesse Palmer. But with low ticket sales looming, could this be the beginning of the end for the cruise? We discuss the possible fallout and what it means for the franchise's future.

Next, we turn our attention to the highly anticipated search for the next Bachelor. Rumor has it that producers are looking for someone refreshing—not famous, not an influencer, and not an athlete. So, who could it be? We speculate on potential candidates and what this shift could mean for the show’s direction.

We also get into the Bachelor in Paradise finale, breaking down the final couples—Jess and Spencer, Kat and Dale, Alex and Andrew—and wondering how much after taxes those final two are walking away with after their lucrative Paradise deals. Spoiler: Uncle Sam is definitely taking a hefty chunk.

Then, we dig into the drama surrounding Nick Viall’s interview with Kat, which left her visibly upset. Before wrapping up, we touch on the latest Bachelor Nation headlines: Andrew Firestone’s mysterious and quickly deleted divorce announcement, JoJo Fletcher’s exciting pregnancy news, and DeAnna Pappas’ new podcast where she’ll be opening up about her dating life and journey to sobriety. If you’re a Bachelor fan, this episode is packed with insider info, speculation, and all the juicy details you won’t want to miss!

Sun, 31 Aug 2025 22:44:24 GMT

On this episode of After Reality, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Christian Long and his mom, Wendy Long, the dynamic duo behind the Oh Honey podcast. I’ve quickly become a big fan of their intergenerational conversations—their charming banter and thoughtful advice always make me smile.

Christian shared how he convinced his (initially hesitant!) mom to co-host the show with him, and we dug into their family dynamics—like what it was like for Christian to grow up as the youngest of three boys, plus his recent jury duty experience. Wendy opened up about her past acting career, and we touched on everything from the challenges of reality TV and social media to the importance of family meals.

Since Christian is a devoted Bachelor viewer, we couldn’t resist filling Wendy in on the latest tea about Mel Owen’s upcoming season. And to wrap things up, we ended with a fun and heartfelt rapid-fire that had us all laughing and sharing from the heart.

We break down the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce phenomenon — her business genius, her songwriting magic, and their internet breaking podcast episode on New Heights.

Daniel gets real about his first job as a dishwasher (we’ve all been there… or at least eaten there), his martial arts journey in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, and how he now teaches self-defense to kids and women — with a big focus on awareness.

Of course, we couldn’t resist dishing on our favorite TV obsessions: predictions for The Summer I Turned Pretty, some hot Bachelor in Paradise takes, and a mutual agreement that authenticity, personal growth, and genuine human connection never go out of style.

BIP Season 10: Big Changes, Same Old Popularity Contest

Tue, 08 Jul 2025 20:07:22 GMT

In this episode of After Reality, I’m sharing a little birthday update, a wild visit to my psychic (who had thoughts on Mel Owens and his possible ABC exit), plus a recap-ish of the highlights from the Bachelor in Paradise Season 10 (2025) premiere. We get into the tea on Mel’s divorce settlement, the new format shakeups, and yes—this show is still very much a popularity contest.

One standout moment? Dale Moss shows up, and the vibe instantly shifts. It’s wild how much of a difference a finalist makes. I also play the funniest clip from star contestant Katt Izzo that seriously had me in tears.

And don’t miss the bad Trump impression from bartender Wells Adams—complete with clown music in the background. His quote? “I feel like America needs this. It’s inflation, tariffs… it’s a lot of crazy things happening, and we need to watch a bunch of idiots make out with each other on the beach.” Yikes!

Tune in for who’s vibing, who’s leaving, and who just might be the next Bachelor.

Reality Steve & Papa Robertson Unpack Mel Owens: Artificial Hips, Wigs, & Golden Bachelor Backlash

Sat, 28 Jun 2025 16:15:54 GMT

In this episode of After Reality, I dive into the explosive controversy surrounding Mel Owens, the newly announced Golden Bachelor. To set the stage, I share a clip from Mel's recent podcast interview—originally brought to light by my friend and go-to scoop expert, Reality Steve.

Mel's remarks have caused quite a stir. He openly stated his preference for women aged 45 to 60 and shockingly admitted to the show’s executive producer that “if there's 60 or over, I'm cutting them” (his words, not mine!). He even referred to it as an “NFL term.” If that wasn’t enough, he expressed a desire to “stay away from artificial hips and wigs” and emphasized how important it was for a partner to have a fit “profile” to match his own active lifestyle.

Steve joins me in the hot seat for his take on this unfolding drama. He breaks down the backlash sparked by Mel’s comments and discusses how a clip from Claire and Emma's Love to See It podcast quickly went viral. Steve also highlights the tricky spot ABC is now in—casting women over 60 would contradict Mel’s stated preferences, while casting younger women could undermine the entire premise of The Golden Bachelor.

I also had to call in a very special guest for his perspective: my dad, Papa Robertson. Having found love again after 39 years of marriage, his insight is as personal as it gets. Papa Robertson didn’t hold back, calling Mel “a bit tarnished” and questioning whether The Golden Bachelor is the right platform for him.

This episode takes a hard look at Mel Owens' comments, their implications for the Golden Bachelor franchise, and whether ABC should consider recasting its lead. Join me for a juicy discussion, a fast hot take from Reality Steve, and my dad’s relatable wisdom as we unpack this developing story!

Kyle Wimberley: Netflix's Million Dollar Secret Star & Authentic Reality 😎

Wed, 16 Apr 2025 13:47:52 GMT

On this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Kyle Wimberley, a contestant on Netflix’s reality competition show Million Dollar Secret. Kyle’s Southern charm and focus on wellness instantly stood out to me. We dove into his journey, including his surprising lack of prior experience with reality TV before landing a spot on this hit show.

Kyle opened up about his casting process, sharing how he faced several near-misses with other reality programs before finally getting his shot. His genuine and adaptable approach to the game was refreshing, and he expressed his surprise at the overwhelmingly positive public reception he’s received.

One of the most heartfelt moments was when we swapped stories about growing up with very little. Kyle shared how those experiences shaped his grit, determination, and deep appreciation for the opportunities he’s had in life. We also talked about the deep influence his single mother and stepdad have had on his life, from shaping his character to introducing him to hunting. Kyle didn’t hold back when discussing his time on the show—sharing stories about his favorite and least favorite challenges, life in the chateau, what motivated him to win, and even his thoughts on returning to reality TV in the future.
