The Reality Of: The Valley w/ Jasmine Goode

The Reality Of: The Valley w/ Jasmine Goode

Jasmine Goode has some serious reality TV lore, making her first television appearance on CMT's Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team. She then found herself competing for Nick Viall's heart on The Bachelor, which eventually led to Bachelor in Paradise. After that, she appeared on MTV's Ex on the Beach before taking a five-year break from reality TV—ultimately making her return on Bravo's The Valley. In this episode, Jasmine is reminiscing on it all. She opens up about what it was really like being a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader, her true feelings about Nick Viall, navigating Ex on the Beach alongside Vanderpump Rules alum Faith Stowers, and why she ultimately turned down MTV's The Challenge. Then, we get into all the drama on The Valley. We dive into Danny's drinking, her fallout with Janet, how the dynamic has changed since Jax Taylor’s departure, the possibility of Scheana Shay joining the cast, Zack’s terrifying moment on the bus in Mexico, and SO much more. Nothing is off limits as Jasmine takes us behind the scenes of her reality TV career in this episode of The Reality Of: The Valley.

Charleston’s own Bradley Carter is here, and he’s spilling all the Southern Hospitality tea! In this episode, we dive into the evolution of the show’s friendships, what really happened to some of the “one-and-done” cast members, the ongoing (and seemingly one-sided) feud between Lake and Mia, the infamous hotel hallway recording, and the arrival of newcomers Justin, Bella and Julia.
