Omg, I’ve been counting the days for this video. Beth has been one of my favorites, and i wish we got more people like her on the show. It’s definitely refreshing watching the older seasons and seeing her stand against the majority, and especially telling the men off when other women wouldn’t.
This is why I said Beth should definitely be on Mount rushmore. She has seen it all from the start and is still very much doing challenges. and shes a great vivid story teller. Very detailed. You can literally see what she's talking about.
Beth totally makes me feel like listening to tears for fears….break it down again. Her time period (might literally be the same year) feels so like that style of 90s music.
Mike, this was awesome. As I haven’t watched any of the shows, it’s the first time I’ve really got to know Beth! She’s a love! I think her and I have a lot in common and could have been good friends. If they ever do a partner show, I volunteer to be with her, and let’s see how two old ladies do together 😂
24:39 what she says, I think the issue with paramount is trying to appeal to different demographics. Most people interested in Homecoming were the original viewers who’d watch the more introspective episodes as Beth said showing viewers more about their lives. Younger viewers tend to watch the more drama for the sake of drama and manufactured storylines and characters. But also because reality TV has such a stigma today many people what to avoid being associated with it, there’s so many restrictions shooting the shows, were, when and how and even what storylines. Social media can cause a huge liability issue today because the anonymity of the cast and their family is gone and if someone is spoken of in a negative manner and they haven’t signed a release it’s basically slandering someone and the networks don’t like lawsuits.
While Veronica and Tina had their mean girl moments (to be fair, there were plenty), Beth was no better herself. In one interview she was gleeful about Tina having COVID. Plus, she had her not so nice moments on past Challenges (causing trouble between Robin and Tonya on the first Inferno challenge, for example). All 3 of them had their nasty moments.
Can you blame her? Tina punched her in the face. Physical violence shows mental weakness. Also, Tonya (as much as I will always defend her) and Robin were no saints either. Beth didn't deserve to have her things thrown in the pool.
@@extra_ice_girlTina told Beth to leave her alone several times and Beth kept bothering her. Maybe she shouldn’t have punched her but you can’t provoke a person and ignore their boundaries repeatedly and then be shocked when they react badly and act like a total victim.
Omg, I could not stop laughing when she started reading Veronica for filth 😭😂 i enjoy watching Veronica and Tina, but Beth is correct. They made so many comments about her appearance and weight, and she’s right, it didn’t age well considering the comments they now get about their bodies and age. Also she makes an interesting point about the Svetlana elimination. It backfired on production, because their hands were tied when CT made the same mistake. Had CT’s elimination happened first, it 100% would’ve been a different rule enforcement, which is funny considering if Beth’s elim happened second, they would have to enforce the same rule, and she probably makes the final that season. A crazy what if 👀
All young people are dumb and ageist. I’m 44 and the young people now…I’m just thinking “your middle age is coming soon…strap up and get ready”. Tina and Veronica know now lol that Beth wasn’t even old then. I know too. Beth was old to me when she was thirty..it’s funny now.
@@laurenmeltzer7159 but Tina and Veronica are the ones who now get upset at fans and other cast members who make comments about them being out of shape, or calling them old. Which is what Beth meant about them 2, that it came back full circle, and now they’re in her shoes.
@@GrnMarcoI’m not aware of them really caring that much about it. Regardless Beth also did some stuff back then that was completely inappropriate. She’s not exactly as pure as driven snow here.
@@laurenmeltzer7159 never said she was. None of the girls from back then were innocent, Beth, Veronica, Tina, Rachel, coral, tonya, etc. but I still enjoy watching all of them, despite those flaws, cause they’re great tv and hilarious, plus it’s trivial compared to the men’s behavior on the show. Unfortunately, I have seen Tina and Veronica and even Aeneesa make remarks about being body shamed on both twitter and Instagram comments. So that’s why I find it ironic, considering they were always making comments about people’s weight back in the day.
She said in her audition tape way back in 1993 She wanted to be an actress or she aspires to be . Which I always thought was odd because I remember specifically B/M always saying and impounding to the audience and future auditions. We are looking for regular young adults not pursuing acting🤔
I ran into her in real life .. I was a cashier at Toys R Us .. and she looked familiar to me but I couldnt place who she was until she left. She was not a nice person during that everyday regular interaction.
That's not true by me. In my are, there are definitely softball leagues for men that are typically sponsored by the different restaurants in the area. These men's ages I've seen range from late teens to late 50 or even early 60s. And of course there's also golf. Lol. I'm sure there's also ladies softball leagues too
Mike I love all of your interviews, but Beth’s audio is truly insufferable 😢 I wanted to watch/listen but it’s just too much, I had to tune out. If you have any recommendations on how I can get through this without the difficult audio situation, I’m all ears 🙏
The first 4 seasons was The Real World then it slowly started to go to sex and fighting I mean actually up to New Orleans 1 (2001) it was good. Casted interesting kids with good stories. By time it got to Las Vegas 1 it got really bad. And take it from someone who interviewed these people long before you💯✔️
I do like Beth but she needs to have a little bit more self-awareness. She definitely purposely tried to start drama or be villainous for television. Even on All Stars with saying that Jonna was cheating on her husband with MJ. That was purely to start drama
Hey Beth.. I know ill get a straight answer from you. How much of the show is scripted? Do they pick who they want to win? I know there has to be SOME scripting ex. the elimination between Abram and Caras fling being called homewrecker. Just hope it isnt as scripted as other "reality" tv shows.
Beth is iconic whether people like it or not
I never had a problem with her

Great interview!!! Congratulations on 200 episodes! You should be really proud of yourself and all that you've accomplished over the last few years.
Thanks Theresa🤝
Respect to Beth. She is funny/entertaining and an underrated competitor on the show.
This is why I said Beth should definitely be on Mount rushmore. She has seen it all from the start and is still very much doing challenges. and shes a great vivid story teller. Very detailed. You can literally see what she's talking about.

I've been waiting for this for forever
The wait is now over
She looks better today than she did 15 years ago.
I love Beth so much man she is an absolute icon lmao literally she could blink and I’m here for it
💪🏻
Great 2000 episodio with the OG of the ogs, keep the great work ,You are leaving My dream doing all this interviews
🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@MikeLewisPodcast I appreciate everything you do. I just need to know if you're at least trying to get Coral on. I need to hear from Coral!

Take a shot every time Beth says, "Yeah, no. I mean, Look..."
Omg beth is my favorite
💪🏻
We need Beth on season 41
This is great
💪🏻
Beth was the best villain in the challenge
Hard to disagree there
While Veronica and Tina had their mean girl moments (to be fair, there were plenty), Beth was no better herself. In one interview she was gleeful about Tina having COVID. Plus, she had her not so nice moments on past Challenges (causing trouble between Robin and Tonya on the first Inferno challenge, for example). All 3 of them had their nasty moments.
Thank you! She acts as if she was completely innocent and it was all them.

@@laurenmeltzer7159 Nah, Tina was also an awful person on the Challenges. I will never defend her.
@@extra_ice_girlwhat do you mean no? 😂 I described the situation exactly how it happened. It’s not about defending Tina.
I can hear Beth's cackle laugh!!!

Everyone made comments about Beth being old and big. I don’t think it was just Tina and Veronica. lol

I’m sorry but I don’t think they are jealous of Beth at all. Beth instigates it most of the time. I like her but that’s just the truth.

Lol hahahaha Verónica is very cheap 😂😂😂😂😂😂 she always grave that feeling
Beth gets a bad rap. There were a lot more toxic girls on those challenges. I'm looking at you Veronica, Rachel, Tina, and Paula.
