We've confirmed it. Ashley, Crawls. called underneath the gate, backed up, walked through the, the resort, grabbed a couple iPhone photos, and came back to the studio just to give us this update. It's very special. Thank you, Ashley. Yes, yes. Okay.

So if you guys are like, who is Blake? Well, Blake is the guy from Tasia's last Claire season. He was the one that, remember, he reached out to Claire in the off in the off season and um showed concern about her mom and he learned up about Alzheimer's and um it was probably claire's like second in line attraction you know like she kissed him night one yeah she's into it well yeah and then blake like continued to actually be pretty like

be pretty prominent of a cast member getting through to tasha's i think top five or type six now he's like you know dark hair had a little spiky big old strong guy you can look up his pictures you'll find out who he is but Ashley to cover this whole thing let's start at the beginning so you just covered who Blake is I didn't realize that people were even wondering if he went on the season or not so you're telling me that people on Reddit or whatever these whatever people talk these days they're starting to whisper about a week ago that maybe he went on this season. Yes.

And now we got pictures and we're posting the pictures from the set of the Bachelorette on our Instagram, almost underscore famous podcast on Instagram. That's where we posted the exclusive pictures of Blake on set of The Bachelorette. Yeah. So just a little more background on Blake. He's a wildlife manager.

He volunteers with a bunch of different and dangerous. it's BCs every year. You know, we did get to know him, as Ashley just mentioned about his love life. Tasha said, and if you remember, though, one of the big things coming out of this, because he was very into Claire, Claire was into him. But if you remember, Tasha said that he's a very good kisser. Remember that? I do remember that.

I don't know if you guys remember. We did get to know him a little bit better on our podcast episode. We had him on the, I think the day after he got eliminated. So you can go back and listen to that. desire to. Yeah. Hey, Ashley, let's take a break here. When we come back, let's continue to break down where they're at in filming. Maybe why Blake is there.

Unfortunately for Mark Lombardo, this was the choice he faced. He said, you are a number, a New York State number, and we own you. Shock incarceration, also known as boot camps, are short-term, highly regimented correctional programs that mimic military basic training. These programs aim to provide a shock of prison life, emphasizing strict discipline, physical training, hard labor and rehabilitation programs.

Mark had one chance to complete this program and had no idea of the hell awaiting him the next six months. The first night was so overwhelming, and you don't know who's next to you. And we didn't know what to expect in the morning. Nobody tells you anything. Listen to shock incarceration on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

My dad is a farmer. and my mom is a cousin, so like, it's not, like... What do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? I know it sounds like the start of a bad joke,

but that really was my reality nine years ago. I just normally do straight stand-up, but this is a bit different. On stage stood a comedian with a story that no one expected to hear. Well, 22nd of July 2015, a 23-year-old man had killed his family. And then he came to my house. So what do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? A new podcast called Wisecrack,

where stand-up comedy and murder takes center stage. Available now. Listen to Wisecrack on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Super Secret Festi Club podcast season four is here. And we're locked in. That means more juicy chisement. Terrible love advice.

Listen to the Super Secret Bestie Club as a part of the Michael Thura podcast network available on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. All right. little context where exactly are they in the timeline of katie season so like one of the headlines

that i saw was does blake the new heather martin of this season obviously uh heather came in very late to the season i think was one of the reasons why it was such a big deal for the women how many weeks in are they on filming what kind of do you think this is inappropriate do you see this working what's your opinion my opinion is that he's probably actually just started night one. So night one filmed last Monday. So let me look at the calendar. It was Monday. The 22nd was night one. So if he's just been spotted now, if he's entering late, he's not entering too late. I'm assuming. Okay. So then the 23rd would be an off day. Then the 24th, 25th. They probably had a rose ceremony on the 27th. If he's just entering today,

day okay he's probably entering um after who he could be entering after the third row ceremony because it goes really quick you guys night one obviously first row ceremony and then you have like three days rose ceremony and then like another three days row ceremony but it's not inappropriate i wouldn't say it's inappropriate if he adds adds himself in now but why wouldn't he just go in night one i mean learn the lessons of the people in the past and go in night one beck and tilly with your season she didn't have like that much of a target on her back her and amber because they yeah amber did as well you know um but then with nick he had a big target with heather she had a huge target it just goes over better if you enter yourself in night one yeah i mean i think

that would be smart he might have it's interesting to see these photos like ashley said we're going to post these photos they're very like secretive right they're like taken from like it looks like even like a one of those like uh guard boost kind of looking down onto the resort blake's walking around having no clue the picture being taken of them i just want to know who got these pictures um where they stand at the resort were they really sneaking over the wall like if so i mean good job kudos to you so my thought is i mean if i'm to overanalyze these photos yeah i would say we'll go ahead and do that that's what we do better i would say this looks like he's going onto a one-on-one or he's just entering and there's a whole bunch of hubbub around him entering late

do you do you think there's like people standing there on the outside of the resort right now just waiting for people to leave is that happen i think these photos look like they were taken on set from somebody who works on set these are not like some open-the-fence type camera some reality like some reality steve type stuff like how in the world you get this kind of photos type stuff oh So he also has a mask on in one of these pictures, which leads me to believe that possibly he's not out of quarantine yet or that it's arrived later than everybody else because as cast, just like from Ben and I making appearances over the past two seasons, once you're quarantined fully as a cast member, you don't have to wear the mask anymore. Interestingly, the production team always wears a mask, even though they've been cleared. Yeah. huh it's super interesting there's a lot going on here i don't know how to i don't know how to consume

it all but i mean it's definitely intriguing um actually before we head out of here i do want to hear your opinion when it comes to somebody coming on the show who's been on this show before the common phrase from the people on the cast is going to be you've already had your shot you've already tried it it didn't work give somebody else a shot what do you think of that phrase do you find endearing do you think this could work well Blake just seems to me like that guy right now like with this move it's like kind of come over the top in the sense that he reached out to Claire in the off season and now he may have reached out to Katie in the off season and if he didn't then he's saying like oh I felt something like he just seems to be that guy that like maybe feels something for

everyone because then he also was the guy who once claire left he was like oh i'm all in for tasia yeah yeah yeah i was like really into claire but now like that's over i'm all into tasha okay all right you're just i think you just have a thing for all bachelorets i'm not like a huge fan of the cast saying um you know you've had your shot because like you had your shot with somebody you were totally incompatible with so like i have no problem with people if they feel real inclination to go on a next season like you have the in like as mine as will use it you know risk all the things for love um you know if you as long as you don't go overboard i think i think you're fine and as long as you're not like directly eliminating somebody else i think you're fine too

it's like at the end of the day if the if the lead had more of a connection with you than they did with this person like you weren't going to win anyway you know what i mean like if he does if he does in some way eliminate someone, it's like, well, that person wasn't going far anyway. Yeah, I'm kind of like in favor. Maybe that makes me weird. I get to like, if you do it four

or five times, it could get a little awkward, maybe a little much. But overall, it's like, you know, if you're out in the real world and you're single and you want to find somebody, the advice we would give would be just keep dating. Like, just keep trying it. Get out there. Put yourself out there. See if it works.

See if it doesn't work. you know if you're on the show obviously you've had a little bit of background on each lead and so maybe you're interested it's hard not to be interested in a lead it's kind of the whole setup for the whole thing but i'm not against it um i think at times it's sweet it's a huge risk you know like with becketilly it was like hey i'm glad you give this shot i know you've been here before i know you know what this is i know you didn't even love it the first time but at least i'm glad you gave it a shot and uh and i'm hoping this is the same way well Ashley this is a big story we'll see where it ends we'll even see if it's anything right like at this point we know he's on set but we don't know if he's there just to host a date we don't know if he's there to like

you know do you love the way that we've gone this far without even making that a possible explanation as well okay well I can debunk that theory right now by saying that he wouldn't be off social media if he wasn't a cast member

trying to vie for Katie's heart because we know that you're able to keep your phone as just guest hosts. Yeah. Ashley, there's so many different options here, right? Like some of this is a guy shows up to a show like a couple weeks in and he makes it like Heather Martin did like eight hours on the show and like he's gone. Like you don't know where this goes. It'll be interesting to watch. There's no spoilers even involved because we're just speculating on everything. But we do have photos. Go to our Instagram page once again. It's almost underscore famous podcast to see these photos of Blake on set for Katie's season. Well, that's been our special breaking news episode. Ashley, we're going to still be back right Monday with a whole episode.

1,000 percent. And before we leave, I just have one last question for you, Ben. How would you, how would you see Ben and Katie together as a couple? Do you see him getting far on this? Well, you just asked how I would see Ben and Katie together as a couple. I don't see Ben and Katie working out um but i blake and katy oh my god uh but yeah so i don't know you know here's the thing about katy i feel like i know more about blake than i do about katy well actually i feel like we probably know them just about equally

because yeah they both got as far as they did on their each other's on their respective seasons and um they both played about equal levels of storyline yeah so i mean, that's my, my honest thing. And people might argue with me about that. I'm actually kind of excited for the chance. Like, I know Michelle, even though she was there the same amount of time as Katie, she was just there at the end. And Katie was at the beginning. Better than I know Katie. I don't know Katie really at all. We don't know a lot about her yet. And so this is all new. So I can even say that. All I can say is it seem like both Claire and Tasia were into Blake,

which makes me think that, like, he's a good catch. And, you know, there's always a shot with a guy. good looking who seems sweet he's a hopeless romantic um i here here's the funniest part and i'll leave on this statement because i'm kind of just like rambling now i blake seemed like the guy that was perfect for paradise in my mind and so like if this doesn't work then do we see him in paradise and will he literally pull the hannah brown and be on television for like seven months in a row oh my gosh this is the guy would so go to paradise too i think he's great i think he'd be great at it But, well, hey, we'll follow his story along. We'll be back Monday with a full episode of the Almost Famous Podcast.

Again, we just want to get out there to you, share this breaking news, laugh with you all a little bit. We hope you have a great weekend. Enjoy your weekend. Rest up, hang out, take some time. It's Easter weekend. For some of you, for others of you, it's just a great weekend. And we hope you enjoy it here at the Almost Famous Podcast. With that, I've been Ben.
