13. “There’s a theory on the FORT boards that’s claiming they’ve figured it out. Have they?” RS: As of this writing, I have not seen anything on there that has
figured it out. And frankly, a lot of them aren’t close. It’s not easy
to. Here’s something for ya’. I’ll even throw the FORT boards a bone.
Here is the most reasonable post I’ve seen on there. I cut and pasted
it just for you. Not saying it’s accurate, not saying they don’t know
anything, I’m just saying this person has their head on straight.
Here’s what they wrote:
“From this I am just saying I am keeping my eyes open as to who
may end up with Jason. The edit always tells us what is going on or
what is not looking right. We have the screen caps that maybe we are
interpreting incorrectly, or maybe not. Right now all I know is that
Jason’s edit is not fitting of someone looking for “true love.” I do think that Reality Steve does know something, and that
something will result in an explosive final rose ceremony. What we have
so far is that no one returns that was previously dismissed, it does
not involve DeAnna, the F2 is not reconsidered, and there is an
eye-popping back story that we will find out about the day after the
FRC. Are production staff somehow involved?Until we actually see the final rose ceremony it is all just speculation in my book.”See, they threw some stuff out there that I haven’t commented on one
way or another. Hence the reason I’m saying don’t read too much into
it. I’m just using it as an example because I think this person is
taking the right approach, which is, “Let’s just wait and see.” When I
tell you what I know, I think a lot of you will be thankful that I was
honest with you from the get-go. I can’t believe some of you think I am
actually going through all this trouble to, in the end, basically tell
you I’ve got nothing. Or I heard a rumor. Or that a friend, of a
cousin, of an uncle once removed whose brother-in-law told me something
and I thought I’d make a big deal out of it and share it. Please. I
have better things to do. I’ve done episode recaps for now fifteen
seasons of this show (11 of the 13 “Bachelors”, and all 4
“Bachelorettes”). I would not throw almost 7 years of doing this for
fun out the window, and lose all my credibility, just for a publicity
stunt. I have been nothing but honest from the beginning, and will
continue to prove that.
It’s amazing how many people are hoping I fail on this. These people
are telling other people that I know nothing, even though I’ve said
from the get-so it’ll all be revealed after the finale. How can you
judge what I have to say before I’ve ever said it? How are you so
positive I don’t know anything? Based on what? I’m throwing out clues,
I’m doing Q&A’s. You really don’t think I know anything? You really
think I’m doing this for my own personal enjoyment only to say “fooled
you” at the end? I’m not a guy that hides behind some anonymous name on
a message board. I have a MySpace page with info and pictures on it, a
Facebook page with info and pictures on it, I give my email address is
in every column I write, hell, I even did the “25 Random Things” about
me this past weekend on Facebook. What you see is what you get. I’ve
got nothing to hide. Ask 99% of people who email me, and they’ll tell
you I always write them back. This isn’t the Wizard of Oz and I’m not
behind some curtain and you’ll never get to really know who I am. It’s
all right there out in the open. I’m basically one of the easiest guys
to get a hold of. So hear me out after the finale. If you still think
that, well, you’re not too bright. I’ll let my column do the talking
for me.
The funny thing is, I never intended for people to get mad and
bothered by this. Sure, when I first posted about the exclusive news
last week, it came off as “I know something you don’t know, doo-da,
doo-da”. But anyone who’s read my column with any regularity knows I
can be a pompous, sarcastic ass at times. It’s part of who I am. I’ve
never hid that fact. But if you took offense to my approach, I
apologize. I’m dead serious when I tell you I’m doing this all for fun.
It’s a game. I’m gonna give clues, you’re gonna guess, then in the end,
the final reveal will happen and it’ll be a giant party! I never
expected it to get nasty where people were questioning anything and
saying I’m a fraud, a jerk, etc. I mean, wow. It’s a TV show. For the
next month, this is game. A puzzle. Let’s have fun with it, people.
14. “On the ABC message boards, a thread entitled ‘The Finale is
a Shocker’, has been removed. It was all about your blog and this
“exclusive” news you say you have. Tons of people were reading it and
commenting. Any explanation as to why it was removed?” RS: I wasn’t aware of that. Maybe ABC is scared I might actually be on to something here.
15. “How is Jason going to come out looking when this is all said
and done? Is the audience going to be happy or upset with him after the
final rose ceremony?” RS: I don’t know. I’m not the audience. Speaking personally, I could
care less how the show ends up. I just want to tell what I know.
Although, I’m glad Nikki got sent home. At least maybe I have a chance
now. Ha ha.
16. “Do you have any relationship whatsoever with Jason?”RS: No. I have never met, spoken to, emailed, or had any contact
whatsoever with our bachelor, Jason Mesnick. I can’t be any more
clearer than that.
17. “Is there one big thing we’re missing in what you’ve written, or are we missing a bunch of things?”RS: I’d say most of you are missing a lot of things, but there is
one major thing that nobody has caught on to yet that’s pretty big.
18. “Do you think Chris Harrison would ever do an interview with you?”RS: If there was one person in this shows history I would like to
talk to, it’d be him. Not to discuss the information I have about this
season, but just to talk about his experience through the years. The
guy has a lot to say, he’s been through it all, and we can see some of
that come out on his blog at EW.com. The door is always open on my end
to do an interview. I think it’d be fun. Would he do it though? I doubt
it.
19. “Is there any correlation to you being friends with Jeremy,
Jeremy currently dating a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader, Jeremy being
friends with Jason, and Melissa being a former Cowboy cheerleader?” RS: Ha ha. Like I didn’t know this question was coming. I expected
this to be brought up probably more than any other topic. The answer
is, “None whatsoever.”
20. I decided to remove the last question, and replace it with
something regarding yesterday’s clue of “K Moon/Rebecca.” After reading
everything that I’ve read over the last 24 hours, I think it’s safe to
say that my clue is working. Some really good guesses thus far. And
some really odd ones. And for the record, someone out there may
actually decipher what the clue is eventually, but tying it in to what
it has to do with the finale is a completely different story.
Every one of the clues has to do with something regarding the finale.Once again, it’ll all make sense down the line. That’s the reason for
the clues. When you look back at them, you’ll understand what it is I
was getting at. Here’s one statement I’ll make regarding yesterdays
clue: It is not an anagram. Sorry to disappoint. Also, the backslash
being used in “K Moon/Rebecca” represents separation between the two.
What a nice guy. I said I wouldn’t answer any questions about the clue
and I just answered two.
(Side Note: To “MelJayFan2009″ who had comment #129 yesterday. Holy
crap! That’s a hell of theory. Quite some thought you put into that.
But my answer to question #1, and the fact that I’m telling you “K
Moon/Rebecca” is not an anagram kills your theory completely. “A” for
effort though. I couldn’t have come up with that in a million years).
Look, the clues are going to be difficult, I’m warning you ahead of
time. Everybody will come up with their own meanings for them, just
like you have for “K Moon/Rebecca”. It’s going to take some really
creative thinking to figure them out, and even then, piecing them with
how they tie in with the finale is even harder. That’s the key. Each
clue will play a part in the finale somehow. Good clues aren’t meant to
be solved. If I give you a clue, and you solve it immediately and
figure out everything, then that wasn’t a good clue. Clues are meant to
be looked back upon, after everything is said and done, and you go,
“Oh, I get it now. Didn’t pick up on it back then. Make sense.” That’s
the role of these clues. I’m using the clues as a way for me to tell my
story, just like “Lost” does. Once you realize all the clues had
something to do with the finale, and that I’ve been giving you them for
over a month, it’ll be pretty impossible not to believe I knew stuff
when I did. Not only will the clues help me tell my story, they will
also be a convincing argument as to why I posted when I did that I had
“exclusive” news. Remember, my original post last Tuesday night said I
had “exclusive” news. Not a single site on the internet reported that.
You heard it here first. Well, my clues are going to back up my
“exclusive” news. For the last time, trust me, it’ll all make sense
when my column posts.
Hope this Q&A cleared up some things for you. And I cannot
stress this enough. I’m having fun with this, and I suggest you look at
it the same way. Quit being so bitter, watch the rest of the season
play out, and save your judgment til it’s all over. If you don’t want
to look into the clues, then just read the column. If you don’t like
the column, then don’t read it. Some of the things I’ve seen written
about my approach have been just mind boggling. It’s my site. Last time
I checked, I can pretty much write it however I want. I promise you
that everything I’ve written, and everything still to be written, will
all be explained after the finale and make sense. I seriously have just
geeked out over “Lost” this season and that is the single motivation I
have for doing the clues the next four weeks. Nothing more than that. I
like to write obviously, and this is a different way to present my
column. Any questions, comments, emails, guesses, praises, criticisms,
feel free to email me at
steve@realitysteve.com. See you next week.
