- 0:00Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
- 0:03Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio.
- 0:06Speaker 2: Hey everybody, it's a breaking news episode on the Almost
- 0:09Speaker 2: Famous podcast. You know, we're on this podcast to talk
- 0:13Speaker 2: about all the things happening within Bachelor Nation, but also
- 0:17Speaker 2: surrounding Bachelor Nation. For the last year, we've talked about Taylor,
- 0:21Speaker 2: Frankie Paul and her season that never aired of the Bachelorette.
- 0:27Speaker 2: But breaking news has just been heard. I'm in studio,
- 0:32Speaker 2: Ashley is in the car on her way to talk
- 0:36Speaker 2: more about this, but we couldn't wait, and so we
- 0:38Speaker 2: just gave Ashley a call. Hello, Ashley, Hi, Ben.
- 0:42Speaker 3: So nothing is confirmed, but this is TMZ and TMZ
- 0:46Speaker 3: has been really good with this story, and TMZ is
- 0:49Speaker 3: really good at Hollywood breaking news.
- 0:52Speaker 4: So we get a couple of tidbits in here.
- 0:55Speaker 3: They say that when ABC pulled the quote plug from
- 0:59Speaker 3: it in May. In March, we all kind of assumed, like,
- 1:02Speaker 3: is this like, ay, we'll stop and think about it,
- 1:05Speaker 3: or is this like, really, it's never going to see
- 1:08Speaker 3: the light of day. Well, TMZ is reporting that they
- 1:12Speaker 3: still have the editors continue to finish working on the episodes,
- 1:15Speaker 3: because oftentimes not all the episodes are completed by the
- 1:20Speaker 3: time it airs. I mean there is sometimes ten, ten
- 1:23Speaker 3: to twelve episodes, and they continued to finish it out,
- 1:28Speaker 3: which is a sign that they were keeping the door open.
- 1:32Speaker 3: And the reason we've really got on here is that
- 1:36Speaker 3: the rumor mill TMC is reporting it's a source inside
- 1:40Speaker 3: production is saying that they're going to go with airing
- 1:42Speaker 3: this season in July with and shocking to me, on ABC,
- 1:49Speaker 3: not on Hulu.
- 1:51Speaker 2: The reason this holds some weight to me is I
- 1:55Speaker 2: believe that Warner Brothers owns TMZ.
- 1:59Speaker 4: Oh if that's a good point.
- 2:02Speaker 2: Yeah, Warner Brothers is also involved in the Bachelor franchise.
- 2:08Speaker 2: I have a feeling Warner Brothers knows if the season's
- 2:12Speaker 2: gonna air or not. But let's be honest, Ashley. We
- 2:15Speaker 2: just had the Game of Roses on last week and
- 2:17Speaker 2: we were kind of talking about if this was going
- 2:19Speaker 2: to air on and I said, there's no doubt it airs.
- 2:22Speaker 2: Everything has pointed to it airing, right. They're still bringing
- 2:25Speaker 2: the cast out for baseball games. They're still pumping this
- 2:30Speaker 2: cast out on their social media. They have never clearly said, hey,
- 2:35Speaker 2: this isn't going to air, So we just got word. Sorry,
- 2:40Speaker 2: I was wrong. It used to be owned by Warner,
- 2:42Speaker 2: but teams he did sell the Fox. I still think
- 2:45Speaker 2: it's I still think it's involved and would know in
- 2:48Speaker 2: some way, so it doesn't take away that I hold
- 2:51Speaker 2: him as a legitimate source. I'm not shocked, Ashley. I
- 2:55Speaker 2: think we've just kind of followed the trail and the
- 2:59Speaker 2: trail spoken to this happening, and now we're just getting
- 3:04Speaker 2: the rumors still that it's going to happen. But if
- 3:08Speaker 2: it happens, I'm gonna say, yeah, of course, they've done
- 3:10Speaker 2: everything leading up to this to promote the season.
- 3:13Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely. Taylor and Dakota have another court date set
- 3:17Speaker 3: for July eighth. She does have unsupervised visitation or I
- 3:23Speaker 3: guess like custody with her child now.
- 3:25Speaker 2: I thought it was supervised.
- 3:26Speaker 3: No, not anymore the last time it changed over. But
- 3:29Speaker 3: it's still not a lot of time. So I'm thinking
- 3:32Speaker 3: if they go back to more of an equal shared
- 3:35Speaker 3: custody situation July eighth, it's going to be that week
- 3:39Speaker 3: we'll get the announcement that it's going to start airing
- 3:42Speaker 3: in July, and I'd say, yeah, oftmc's reporting mid July.
- 3:46Speaker 2: There's a lot happening here. And obviously there was so
- 3:50Speaker 2: much put behind this season for everybody involved, and so
- 3:55Speaker 2: this season was kind of I felt like initially like
- 3:57Speaker 2: holding on by a thread, and then we started to
- 4:01Speaker 2: feel like, hey, this is going to come back. We
- 4:03Speaker 2: don't know how Ashley, you know, we talked it was
- 4:05Speaker 2: either going to be streaming. But I think one of
- 4:08Speaker 2: the key elements here is this rumor from TMZ what
- 4:13Speaker 2: they're reporting on is it's going to actually air on ABC.
- 4:16Speaker 2: It's going to take a time slot on ABC. That
- 4:20Speaker 2: out of all of this is something that is surprising
- 4:22Speaker 2: to me that they would air back on ABC.
- 4:25Speaker 4: Well, they know that there's no way that anything that
- 4:30Speaker 4: they're going to air instead of Taylor for Rekie Paul
- 4:32Speaker 4: season is going to do better than Taylor Forney Paul season.
- 4:36Speaker 2: So it makes sense not only from a business side,
- 4:39Speaker 2: but it also makes sense. As we said on what
- 4:41Speaker 2: we were kind of following and hearing along, This isn't
- 4:44Speaker 2: a shock to anybody here at the Almost Famous podcast,
- 4:47Speaker 2: It's not. We were intrigued to see how it would
- 4:50Speaker 2: happen and how the announcement would happen. We still don't
- 4:53Speaker 2: have an official announcement. I want to be clear on
- 4:54Speaker 2: that This is a report made by TMC. We don't
- 4:56Speaker 2: have an official announcement yet, but if you listen this podcast,
- 5:00Speaker 2: I would start updating your Google message or your Google
- 5:03Speaker 2: alerts because we will have an announcement it sounds like
- 5:06Speaker 2: very soon. Inclosing here, Taylor and Dakota both have restraining
- 5:12Speaker 2: orders against one another and have been ordered by a
- 5:14Speaker 2: Utah judge to try and hash out their custody dispute again.
- 5:20Speaker 2: On July eighth is their next court hearing where we
- 5:24Speaker 2: will learn more and we'll be here breaking it down.
- 5:27Speaker 2: But I can't say it any better than how TMZ does.
- 5:30Speaker 2: The bottom line is this, It sure looks like those
- 5:34Speaker 2: roses are finally going to be handed out this summer
- 5:37Speaker 2: by Taylor, Frankie Paul Hey. This is Almost Famous podcast,
- 5:41Speaker 2: Ashley called in. Thanks to Ashley for doing that. We'll
