The Bachelor Spoilers 2019: Colton Underwood Final Three, Rose Ceremony Revealed!!

The Bachelor is still nearly two months away from its premiere, but to the surprise of no one, The Bachelor spoilers are in full swing.


We hereby invite you to come inside our spoilers page for the latest on the new season, ironically starring a man who’s never come ins-


Sorry. Forget we said that. On to The Bachelor spoilers.



As those who follow the franchise know, this season’s leading man, Colton Underwood, is noteworthy for more than the usual reasons.


He’s a virgin. So the Fantasy Suite stakes are high.


Who will he bring, though? According to the God of Bachelor Spoilers (and among men), Reality Steve, his choices have been made.


Ready to meet Colton’s final four women – the lucky ones who earned hometown dates with the former football star – and final three?



Hannah Godwin is friends with Danielle Maltby, a presence on Nick Viall’s season. Hannah makes a great first impression with Colton.


She’s not unattractive.



Cassie Randolph, above, is an ESL teacher from Huntington Beach, California. She is 23 years old. Also not unattractive in the least.



Tayshia Adams is 28 years old and Orange County, California. Other than that, she remains a bit of a mystery, personally and professionally.


There is no Facebook account attributed to her, and her Instagram is private, though her bio suggests she’s a woman of faith.


Tayshia has been married once, to Josh Bourelle.



Caelynn Miller-Keyes is 23 years old and the current reigning Miss North Carolina 2018. Good for her … and obviously good for Colton.


So there you have it.


Hannah Godwin, Cassie Randolph, Tayshia Adams, and Caelynn Miller-Keyes are the last four women on this 23rd season of the show.


There are only three overnight date spots, of course, which means someone didn’t make the cut. According to Steve, we know who.



Tayshia Adams, Hannah Godwin, and Cassie Randolph are moving on. Caelynn Miller-Keyes got the chop after hometowns.


From everything we’ve gathered so far, Cassie Randolph feels like the front-runner for Colton’s final rose, but we can’t confirm that.


Steve’s latest intel suggests overnight dates in Portugal have concluded, and a final rose ceremony is being filmed this week in Spain.


So far, though, that’s all we know.



Either Steve is playing this close to the vest or hasn’t gathered enough Bachelor spoilers to drop the obligatory bombsell yet.


There is still plenty of time left.


With filming wrapping soon, Colton, Hannah, Tayshia, and Cassie should be active on the socials again soon, so watch for clues.


Also, ABC has released the first official promo for Underwood’s virginal journey for love, which kicks off Monday, January 7.



Will the controversial pick to lead the franchise find the love he’s always wanted … the love worthy of his v-card and heart alike?


All we can do is stay tuned, people.

The Voice Recap: Who Won The Final Battle?

The Battle Rounds came to a grinding halt Tuesday night, and while we witnessed three battles, a bunch were saved for the dreaded montage.


With the Knockouts coming up and the season’s big twist set to switch things up, the show might actually remain exciting all season long. 



Who would have thought it? Usually, the excitement fizzles out right before the live shows, but time will tell whether the producers messing with the formula will work.  


Let’s break down the final three battles of the season!


Team Kelly: Sarah Grace vs. Erika Zade – “No Roots”


Sarah opened up about never having a vocal lesson before, so being in rehearsals was uncharted territory for her. 


She was receptive to feedback, so that was a huge positive, but she didn’t feel like Alice Merton number would benefit her voice. 



The same could be said for Erika. The true kicker here was that both women turned in solid performances, and it was difficult to pick between them. 


Kelly went with Sarah, and nobody voted to steal Erika. 


Team Blake: Kameron Marlowe vs. Kayley Hill – “Only Wanna Be With You”


As this one kicked off, it seemed like Kameron was going to have the edge, but both performers were worthy of being kept in the battle for the recording contract. 



There were no nerves here, just an excellent performance, and it’s sad that one of them had to go. 


Kameron won this round, and Kayley was sent home. 


Team Adam: DeAndre Nico vs. Funsho – “Can You Stand the Rain”


The frustrating thing here was that both of the above performers were the worst of the night. There were no harmonies, and it made the overall performance rather weak. 


Adam opted to stick it out with DeAndre while Blake decided to steal Funsho. It was a dumb move when you consider there were two much better singers sent home. 



During the dreaded montage, we learned that Claire DeJean defeated Josh Davis to remain on Team Kelly, Kirk Jay beat Caeland Garner to stay on Team Blake, and Kennedy Holmes won over Lela to continue on with Team Jennifer. 


Kennedy is probably the most popular artist in the show right now, so giving her the montage was a bizarre move. 


What are your thoughts on the latest battles?

Big Brother Spoilers: Final HOH Results Revealed!

Big Brother aired its usual pre-finale clip show Sunday night, meaning fans were left in the dark over who won the first two rounds of the final HOH competition. 


Thankfully, both rounds played out on the live feeds ahead of the episode, meaning we know who won which competition, and the plan for the live finale. 



Ahead of the first heat of the competition, Tyler and Kaycee chatted about possible scenarios, and Kaycee admitted that she sucked at the mental competitions. 


Tyler said that he liked his chances against JC in one so he would drop out of the endurance competition to allow Kaycee to beat out JC and himself. 


However, when it came to the actual competition, JC dropped out first, leaving Tyler and Kaycee. That’s when Kaycee made a signal for Tyler to drop. 


He ignored it and ultimately won the competition. His fellow ally quizzed him following the conclusion of the competition. 



Tyler’s response?


“I was going to wait for a jolt [from the comp] and then act like I slipped,” he explained of his decision to keep holding on. 


“As soon as [JC] fell, my arms were like Jell-O,” Kaycee said in response of her decision to drop out. 


While Kaycee wondered why Tyler would act like that, she still trusted him because he was loyal to her all summer long.  


“Without a doubt, I have got this next one,” Kaycee said. “We could not have him win that one.”


It’s certainly alarming that Tyler didn’t trust Kaycee enough to drop when he said he would. There’s every reason to believe he was worried she wouldn’t follow through with her end of the deal. 



When Saturday rolled around, Kaycee and JC went head-to-head, but who won?


To the surprise of absolutely nobody, Kaycee owned the competition. 


JC is not a force on the competition front, and he won just one competition the whole summer. 


This means that Kaycee and Tyler will compete against each other in the live finale on Wednesday night. 


Both have been vocal about wanting to be the final two, but it will all depend on whether they actually want to win. 



A case can be made for either of the two to win. But either one of them could win against JC, so they would be wise to consider that. 


What are your thoughts on this? 


Who do you want to win?

Ben Affleck: Sad Details of His Final Days Before Rehab Revealed

It’s been almost a full week since Ben Affleck checked into rehab following an intervention by his estranged wife Jennifer Garner, but new details are still emerging about the state of affairs that led the Oscar winner to seek help.


Sources close to Affleck revealed today that he had reached a new rock bottom in the days before he decided to accept treatment.



“Ben had been drinking alone for days,” a source tells People magazine.


“He was in bad shape. He had barely been eating and had not showered. It didn’t take much convincing. He wanted to go, and he cooperated.”


The insider claims that despite reports of Ben Affleck drinking heavily with Lindsay Shookus during their relationship, the SNL producer was actually a good influence and a stabilizing force in Ben’s life.


Apparently, it was only after Affleck and Shookus broke up that a distraught Ben went back to the bottle.



“He’s battled addiction for a long time now,” says the source, noting that Ben had been “constantly working on himself” but suffered a debilitating relapse after he and Lindsay parted ways.


The insider claims that after the breakup last month, Ben “went into a darker and darker place until he had to reach out for help.”


“When it was good it was really really good. When they were in the same time zone and not focused on other things it was good,” the source says of the tumultuous relationship.


“It became incredibly complicated with their families, with their jobs.”



“He really liked her. He loved that she was smart, funny, opinionated,” the tipster adds.


“When they were together it brought him a bit outside of his comfort zone. She brought a bit of fresh air into his life that he needed.”


After the breakup, Affleck became involved with Shauna Sexton, a 22-year-old Playboy model with a well-known penchant for partying.


It seems it was then that Garner decided to take action and intervened.



With the help of a professional sobriety coach, Garner arrived at her ex’s house unannounced.


While sources claim Affleck was drunk and belligerent throughout the intervention, he eventually agreed to seek treatment.


Jen was so intent on ensuring that he stayed true to his word that she drove him to the facility herself.


There’s no way of knowing how Ben has fared in the week since he first checked in, but those closest to the situation say he checked in with every intention of getting sober for the sake of his children.


We’ll have further updates on this developing story as more information becomes available.

John McCain Takes Final Jab at Donald Trump from the Grave

On Saturday afternoon, over a year since he was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer, John McCain died at the age of 81.


In the wake of his passing, notes of sorrow, admiration and consolation poured in from across the political spectrum, as perhaps no Senator has ever been more widely respected than McCain, a former prisoner of war.


But there was one person who was noticably absent from this wave of heartelt mourning…




… President Donald Trump.


The Commander-in-Chief reportedly nixed a proposal by The White House to issue a lengthy statement after McCain’s death, one that ran through his impressive list of accomplishments and referred to him as a “hero.”


(Trump has famously quipped on more than one occasion that McCain is not a hero because he was got captured in battle.)


Instead, the President simply Tweeted the following:


“My deepest sympathies and respect go out to the family of Senator John McCain. Our hearts and prayers are with you!”


Some might say this was enough; others might say Trump didn’t mention a single word about the man himself.




Donald J. Trump


At various times throughout the campaign trail over the past several months, Trump had also taken shots at McCain for casting the vote last summer that denied Republicans the chance to repeal Obamacare.


He encouraged crowds to boo a veteran and a politician who was dying of cancer.


On Monday morning, however, McCain got the final word in when it comes to this ongoing feud with the President.


In a moving tribute to America and its citizens, which was read to the public close friend Rick Davis, McCain pretty clearly took a number of jabs at everything Trump stands for.


Take this section, for instance:


We weaken [America] when we hide behind walls, rather than tear them down, when we doubt the power of our ideals rather than trust them to be the great force for change they have always been



Or this section:


We weaken our greatness when we confuse our patriotism with tribal rivalries that have sown resentment and hatred and violence in all the corners of the globe.


These seems like obvious statements, we know.


It says something about Trump and his administration that nearly EVERYone who had read these excerpts interpret them as a direct rebuke of the White House.


Davis foughts back tears as he read the final words of McCain.


And, out of respect for the late Senator and all he accomplished, we are simply going to transcribe them below.




mccain states


May John McCain rest in peace.


My fellow Americans, whom I have gratefully served for sixty years, and especially my fellow Arizonans


Thank you for the privilege of serving you and for the rewarding life that service in uniform and in public office has allowed me to lead. I have tried to serve our country honorably. I have made mistakes, but I hope my love for America will be weighed favorably against them.


I have often observed that I am the luckiest person on earth. I feel that way even now as I prepare for the end of my life. I have loved my life, all of it. I have had experiences, adventures and friendships enough for ten satisfying lives, and I am so thankful.


Like most people, I have regrets. But I would not trade a day of my life, in good or bad times, for the best day of anyone else’s.


I owe that satisfaction to the love of my family. No man ever had a more loving wife or children he was prouder of than I am of mine. And I owe it to America.


To be connected to America’s causes — liberty, equal justice, respect for the dignity of all people — brings happiness more sublime than life’s fleeting pleasures.


Our identities and sense of worth are not circumscribed but enlarged by serving good causes bigger than ourselves.


‘Fellow Americans’ — that association has meant more to me than any other. I lived and died a proud American. We are citizens of the world’s greatest republic, a nation of ideals, not blood and soil.


We are blessed and are a blessing to humanity when we uphold and advance those ideals at home and in the world. We have helped liberate more people from tyranny and poverty than ever before in history.


We have acquired great wealth and power in the process.



We weaken our greatness when we confuse our patriotism with tribal rivalries that have sown resentment and hatred and violence in all the corners of the globe.


We weaken it when we hide behind walls, rather than tear them down, when we doubt the power of our ideals, rather than trust them to be the great force for change they have always been


We are three-hundred-and-twenty-five million opinionated, vociferous individuals. We argue and compete and sometimes even vilify each other in our raucous public debates.


But we have always had so much more in common with each other than in disagreement. If only we remember that and give each other the benefit of the presumption that we all love our country we will get through these challenging times.


We will come through them stronger than before. We always do.


Ten years ago, I had the privilege to concede defeat in the election for president. I want to end my farewell to you with the heartfelt faith in Americans that I felt so powerfully that evening.


I feel it powerfully still.


Do not despair of our present difficulties but believe always in the promise and greatness of America, because nothing is inevitable here. Americans never quit.


We never surrender. We never hide from history. We make history.


Farewell, fellow Americans. God bless you, and God bless America.

Dennis Shields: Final Words Shed Light on His Tragic Death

Just a week ago, Dennis Shields was found dead in his Trump Tower apartment.


Though the ex-boyfriend of Betheny Frankel’s cause of death has yet to be officially declared in an autopsy report, we now know his final words.


And his final statement may shed a lot of light on what preceded his unfortunate passing.



TMZ reports that Dennis Shields was able to speak a few words to EMTs who arrived and attempted to save his life.


Sources say that, in those final moments, he told paramedics and police that he had taken his prescribed oxycodone and Vicodin and a sleeping pill.


His intention, he revealed at the time, was to address the pain from his back injury.


Though his assistant had already administered Narcan before emergency responders arrived, everyone’s best efforts were unable to save him.


That combo of drugs turned out to be tragically lethal.



As TMZ notes, that combination of drugs can be dangerous and even potentially deadly.


Doctors and other medical experts strongly advise against mixing opioids with sleeping pills or any type of sedative.


Taking these medications in what are individually safe amounts can become unsafe, due to interactions between the powerful medications.


Had this been a simple overdose of oxycodone, perhaps the three doses of Narcan — two from his assistant and one from EMTs — that Shields received would have been able to save him.


This is so heartbreaking.



TMZ‘s law enforcement sources report that they did find prescription pill bottles scattered throughout his house.


They did not find any ilicit substances or drug paraphernalia which might be associated with them.


If you are overdosing or experiencing another medical crisis, it is always adviseable to be honest with the people who are trying to save your life.


The “pill bottles scattered everywhere” image might seem suspicious for some, but it’s not uncommon for folks to accidentally hold on to their empty prescription bottles.


(They may cling to them as a reference, or forget that they have them, or decide that they want to remove the label for privacy before recycling them)



Earlier this week, The Real Housewives of New York City star and Skinnygirl mogul Bethenny Frankel broke her silence on Shields’ death.


Though they were not dating at the time of his passing, they have had an on-again, off-again relationship for ages.


Bethenny is mourning his passing. At his funeral, she broke down in tears.


On Instagram, she shared a throwback photo of him and her late dog, Cookie, back-to-back.


Both Shields and Cookie have since passed.


“Rest In Peace,” Bethenny captioned the image. “My sweet babies who gave me endless unconditional love.”



It is important to stress that the medical examiner’s office has yet to announce an official cause of death for Dennis Shields.


It is always possible that the dangerous combination of drugs that he took in a desperate attempt to quell his back pain were not the cause, or not the sole cause.


The medical examiner is likely waiting for the results of a toxicology report. Those can take time, especially when investigators are checking for every possibility.


We hope that Shields’ loved ones, including his four children, can find peace and closure after this tragic loss.

Counting On Canceled: Is This the Duggars" Final Season on TV!?

All good things must come to an end, as the old saying goes. In other news, all reality TV shows eventually run their course.


Whether you love, hate or love to hate them, it’s been over a decade on TLC for the Duggars, a mightily impressive streak.


One that may be about to a conclusion.



As has been the case for the last 3-4 years, TLC is not making any public assurances regarding the future of Counting On.


Ever since 19 Kids & Counting was canceled and rebranded as Counting On, the Duggar family has been on very thin ice.


Just the same, the reality TV empire survived, thanks in large part to a pivot away from the parents to their oldest childen.


That, though, has left Jim Bob Duggar with a problem on multiple fronts, as both his kids and his employers may be done.



Yes, according to multiple reports, the Counting On stars are tired of TV and demanding time off from their handler (Jim Bob).


Soon, if TLC executives don’t pull the plug on the show for them, the young adults may put an end to the practice altogether.


Jill, Jessa, Joy-Anna and company are reportedly eager “to carry on with their lives,” and those who are still single agree.


One of the biggest reasons the kids don’t want the cameras following their every move is so they can court in peace.



Granted, Duggar courtship rules require chaperones at all times anyway, but younger siblings are different than TV crews.


At least one of them figured this out.


“John David kept his relationship quiet and hidden so he could enjoy time without press,” an insider explained last week.


Seen above with fiancee Abby Burnett, John David had been a sparse presence on Counting On for the last few years.


Clearly that was a calculated move.



To be clear, cancelation rumors have been swirling for years as Counting On declines in ratings and increases in controversy.


So far, a loyal fan base and an emerging group of younger stars and in-laws has kept the Duggars afloat. But for how long?


The network already had to fire Josh Duggar, and relegate Jim Bob and Michelle to very minor roles, after his sex scandals.


Facing even more pressure from advertisers, the network then also had to dispatch Jill Duggar’s husband Derick Dillard.


How many more hits can it take?



These days, Counting On mainly focuses on the marriages of Jinger and Jeremy, Joy-Anna and Austin, and Joe and Kendra.


All three young couples are striking out on their own, and have taken up the bulk of the screen time so far this summer.


It also features Josiah and John David, both of whom are are currently in relationships, and Jana Duggar, who is famously single.


(Unless you believe those rumors swirling around the 28-year-old “Cinderella” Duggar and BFF Laura DeMasie, above.)



In any case, with Jill out of the picture, there’s been another changing of the guard this summer, making for an uncertain future.


Jessa Duggar, who was also courting when 19 Kids first became Counting On, has begun to fade into the background as well.


The million-dollar question remains:


Is there enough interest in the new-new generation (call it Duggar 2.5) to sustain an entire show for another several years?



Perhaps they can continue to strike a precarious balance to keep the network, its advertisers, and themselves happy for now.


After all, they do need to make money … something they don’t exactly have the necessary skills or experience to help with.


We discussed earlier today how Jim Bob has robbed his daughters of careers at the same time he built this TV juggernaut.


How’s that for irony?


In any case, you can be sure that the Duggars are aware of this and won’t take the decision to pull the plug on the show lightly.



A source tells Radar that for now, the kids “will continue to film the show as long as they can because it is their biggest source of income.”


At the same time, though, they “need to time to focus on their families,” which may put them in direct conflict with their TLC gig.


That assumes TLC even wants to keep airing it, which is a different story, especially in light of some truly damaging scandals.


One more Derick Dillard comment about Jazz Jennings, or pretty much anything else, could put an end to that very, very fast.
