  Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Almost Famous Podcast. After last week,
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: it sounds like we got some answers on the fate
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: of the Bachelor franchise. We're celebrating here with confirmation because
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: The Bachelor's coming back twenty twenty seven. And while the
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: question still remains Litt Taylor, Frankie Paul season air or not,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: my vote is it will air. There have been a
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: lot of rumors flying around on who could be the
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: next Bachelorette. So let's break down today everyone who's been named,
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: whose name has been thrown around, and what we think
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: of the idea and what these women have said in
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: addressing the rumors that they may be the next Bachelorette.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Let's start with Mara Higgins.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Maria Higgins would have gone from Love Island to Traders,
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: to Dancing with the Stars to the Bachelorette. I think
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: it might be a little played out, so I don't
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: know that I see this happening, but let's go into it.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: As she was kind of on her announcement tour of
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: doing Dancing with the Stars, she was asked if she
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: could be possible with the next.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: Lead, and she said absolutely not. She said, come on, guys,
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: I'm thirty five, she said.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: She went on to add that she's not even looking
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: for a relationship at the moment, said, do you know what,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: I'm so happy.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: I don't want a man.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: I don't want anyone in my space. I like to
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: come home to my beautiful, clean house. I don't have
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: to pick up their and I don't actually have time anyway. Well,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: you don't need time when near the bachelorette. It's all
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: that you have is time to date. So she says
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: no right now.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: But I don't really believe her.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: I don't think she's gonna do it, but it does
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: bring us to the next MT.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: I don't think she's gonna be asked.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Sierra Miller her Summerhouse from Summerhouse, I don't know who
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: this is.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Oh, well, then you have a different algorithm than me, sir.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: I am on the Bravo feed now, and I can't.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: Say that I know what happened. I don't.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: I'm not affected by what happened because I don't watch Summerhouse.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: But this was a big scandal, not so much like.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Scandal All a couple of years ago, but this was
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: still a relatively big incident. She had a friend who
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: ended up hooking up with this guy that she was
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: actually not dating at the time, but truly in love with.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: And that's why people have been just rooting for her
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: because they have just she has the sympathy card right now.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: She is beautiful and somebody.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Was as far as being asked to be on the show,
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: she said, no, I am way too private to be
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: the Bachelorette. I can see her being a bachelorette that
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: people be very intrigued to see. But as our producer
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: has pointed out, ABC and NBC don't really do a
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: lot of crossover. You don't see a lot of housewives
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: or a lot of like vander Pum Rules or whatnot
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: on Dancing with the Stars. And I doubt that they
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: would bring a Bravo talent over to be the lead
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: of Bachelorette.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: See Era Miller, Miranda and Layla from The Secret Lives
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: of Mormon Wives.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Okay, so these two actually said that they be open
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: to it, and they said it at the Hulu event
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: last week that we saw a whole bunch of the
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Hulu ABC talent at And yeah, they said both, and
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: they both be down to it. I think people will
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: see this as another pairing for Bachelorette, where it'd be
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: two bachelorettes. But I also think that people are over
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: that I have not, as you guys know, watched the
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: entire series of Housewives, of.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: Of Secret Lives of Mormon Why.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: I will say, really like Miranda from what I've seen
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: throughout the middle of season two.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: She was involved in the swinging scandal with.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Taylor, so I'm not sure that's gonna be something ABC
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: wants to expand upon again.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: She seems a lot more grounded though than Taylor.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: She is a divorce mom has two kids, and then
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Layla is also divorce mom with two kids.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Huh uh. Jessica Simpson, I know who this is.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: This would be fun.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: I like the idea. I grew up love it.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: I know this wouldn't be a Golden Bachelorette, but it
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: would be somewhere in between.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: Jessica Is.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: I want to say, by my deductions, I think she's
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: seven years old than me.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: She's about forty five. Am I right on this?
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Somebody please confirm that I am just so good at
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: celebrity ages For some reason, I have like them all
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: memorize in my head she might be six years old,
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: the me she might be forty four. So when asked
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: whether she would be the lead of the Bachelorette, she says,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: I have options.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: I'm good.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: This was a TMC reporter that asked her this, and
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: she said, like, no, I don't care about doing the
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: show for ratings, because they said that she would bring
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: in good ratings.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: I think it'd be good for her. This is the
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: one out of this whole list I'm like, I could
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: see it being a good move.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: For I missed Jessica Simpson on reality TV.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: I think Jessica Simpson is actually probably the best reality
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: star of our entire lives besides maybe the Kardashians, probably
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Kim Kardashian and Jessica Simpson. But honestly, Jessica Simpson better
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: because Kim cares a little bit more about what she appears,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: like I think, and Jessica was just fully herself. I
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: also just missed that style of reality where they didn't
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: have a plan for the day. They just followed them
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: around with cameras and then they made episodes out of
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: what they got. But there didn't have to be a
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: storyline to stay cohesive Throughout the season, the storyline was
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: just the ups and downs of marriage and twenty something life.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Oh it was so perfect. She has two kids, thirteen,
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: twelve and six. I do agree with you, Ben. Not
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: only does she have a perfect reality star past, we
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: know that she can deliver good TV. She has a
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: supposedly she has a lot of money because of her
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: selling of Jessica Simpson line. And she is in her forties,
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: mid forties, and that would give us a whole other
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: taste of what a bachelor in their forties can be
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: post divorced twice.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: I think it'd be amazing. She's my vote, but we
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: also have a couple more on here. Alex Earl has
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: been rumored too, and I don't see it.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: I'll be honest, I do not see it. She also said,
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: I don't think that's my thing. I love a wa
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: watching them though. Yeah, there's no chance that alex Earl
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: needs this, Like I know that a lot of the
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: girls in the girls on this list none of them needed, right,
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: alex Earl is dating Tom Brady in her spare time,
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: So like, I just don't know that you want to
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: go date some random guy from who knows where?
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: Who might be fame hungry when you're Alex Earl.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: We also have uh is it Alona ma Mar She's.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: A rugby player. I don't know who this girl is.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: She was on Dancing with the Stars. I know that
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: super loved on Dance with the Stars.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, she was really good friends with Joey. She
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: said that she will only be she's a two time
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: Olympian rugby player, two time Olympian, so she said, only
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: if Joey gets to be the executive producer on My
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: Friends get to pick the guys.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: I mean, hey, I would love that twist.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, I know that Joey will never be the
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: executive producer, but I would love to have a season
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: where friends and family pick from a bunch of guys.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: Ben.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Speaking of Joey, we didn't hit this in headlines. He
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: was partners with Justin Timberlake on the golf course last week.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was Justin. Does this eight am event every year?
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Chris Harrison usually goes, Is that the win?
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah? Yeah? Yeah.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: This was the same week last year because my sister
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: got married and we were at the Bolagio and the
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: wind is like door two down and people were like
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: actually Justin's there at the wind doing his thing. So
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: so Justin was there again this week, same week last year,
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: and he got paired up with Joey or what up?
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: They weren't paired Justin like just kind of drives around
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: and like hangs out.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: It's Justin's event, and then Joey was invited and then
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: he gets he like seemed like he knew who he was.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, Dori Eat Kimsley from the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: So she's a part of your family.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: Actually, so this isn't from Dorri Eats. It's from Tasha.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Taysha is on a podcast and she said, I feel
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: like there's no limit now, we can really just choose anyone.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: And she said, for her, it would be Dorit, it'd
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: be kind of iconic. She says, she thinks that she's
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: in her funky, badass era. She said, imagine smoking and
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: being like this guy doesn't stand a chance, and then
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: I don't know, She says, I could just see her
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: being kind of epic, but she'd also be a.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: She in her fifties.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: She's forty nine, forty nine, So, as we're saying, and
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: as Tasha saying, there really is no limit now, so
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: let's get creative. And yes, then I agree with you
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: that of this whole list, Jessica Simpson is the most
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: appealing of all options. She's also someone that everyone knows.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Everybody knows, everybody knows, everybody be rooting for her. I
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: would assume she'd be sloppy a f and the guys
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: would love it, right, and you could have a whole
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: age range of people. I think it would be. It
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: would be the mix of all the best worlds. But
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: let's give a quick ranking here to the names available.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go Jessica Simpson number one for me. This
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Miranda and Layla thing seems to work because they're both
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: down for it, so I don't know why we wouldn't
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: at least consider them. I like dereat third. I guess
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: I'd throw Elana in there as well, probably maybe even second,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: because I think people loved her during Dance with the Stars.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: They would want to be rooting for her. Here's my point.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: We got to find a bachelor that people are rooting for,
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: like deeply involved in, where it feels like we're crying
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: with them and for them. And I think out of
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: those names Alana would bring that out, and I do
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: think Jessica Simpson might bring that out on people too.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: Okay, I'm gonna go with number one Jessica Simpson, Number
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: two Sierra Miller, even though I don't think that's likely
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: at all because of the networks. Then I would say
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: do read because yes, in our fantasy world, having one
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: of the more seasoned housewives become the bachelor at would
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: be really funny because they just don't care. They just
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: wouldn't care if they had to. Basically, they'd be throwing
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: champagne in all these guys' faces. Then I kind of
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: like the Alana thing, just even though I don't I'm
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: not really familiar with her, it would be cool because
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: she's an Olympian, So even if you don't know her,
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: she's still an Olympian who's been on Dancing with the
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: Stars already in that ABC family, And I mean, I.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: Love her idea of having the friends pick guys for her.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: And then if more Higgins is great, I just I
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: don't know if it's going to be tired after her
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: third show. Taylor third to be her fourth, yeah, and
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: then Miranda and Laila.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: I mean that's fine, but I don't want them pair
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: it up again. Yeah, and it's kind of like it's
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: just kind of not creative, taking one Secret Lives of
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: Mormon Live Star and then putting other ones in the place.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Make good points. Hey, that's the breakdown of who's been
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: rumored to be the next Bachelor. I maybe we can
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: do this with a bachelor soon. We got to get
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: some names out there, because who knows what's next. We're
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: all waiting anxiously. We have more coming to you this
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: week with the Real Housewives of Rhode Island breakdown, along
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: with an episode breaking down the court hearing between Dakota
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: and Taylor Frankie Paul. It's happening on the thirtieth.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: There is a lot going on, a lot to happen,
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: and we're here to talk about it here on the
• 12:54
