However, for those on the new show, “Joe Millionaire” has changed their lives.
Tell us about your experience on the show, and how you have felt watching it back.
Steven:It’s been five or six months.
Was the final TV cut the same as you remembered it happening?
Steven:For the most part, I don’t think there was any inaccurate portrayals.
Calah:I agree with that.
Other than that, everything was pretty spot on.
Steven:For sure.
Other than that, everything was good.
Were there any specific moments or conversations or anything that you wish had made the cut?
It was called “Broken in the Bathroom.”
Calah:Oh, my goodness.
Steven:Kurt and I are horrible singers.
Calah:I promise you it’s definitely better that it did not make the cut.
When they realized they wanted each other
That is so funny.
I was myself the whole time, which is a little bit more reserved.
That was very interesting for me because of what I do day to day.
You’d never have time to know who they were.
Cal is saying she’s guarded, I’m very guarded as well.
It took me a while to really open up to any feelings.
It’s really built over time.
Calah:Yes, definitely.
Steven:For me, I would say the … how surreal the moment was.
It was very hard for me to catch feelings for these women.
I needed to worry about truly getting to know these women on an emotional spiritual level.
That’s what really helped me out.
Have things been different since production wrapped?
I know you have to keep things secret while filming and even up until airing.
Have things been different for you two, especially since you had to hide your relationship?
Steven:Yeah, we definitely have had to keep things under wrap, which is very difficult.
We can’t go out in public.
It’s been very interesting.
Keeping it very private.
Outside of the show, our connection has grown so much stronger.
Calah: Oh, yes.
Actually, I am moved up here now.
I am a Missouri resident.
Coming from Dallas, I lived in the downtown area.
Moving from downtown to middle-of-nowhere Missouri has been a huge change, but I love it so far.
We have a house closer to Kansas City that will be ready at the end of this month.
It’s been a little bit of an adjustment.
It snowed here today.
Yesterday, I was wearing a short sleeved t-shirt in Dallas.
It’s been a little bit of adjustment, but it’s all very exciting changes happening.
That is really exciting.
Well, congrats again, both of you.
Steven:Thanks so much.
How do you two plan on making the farm a space where both of you could really thrive?
Steven:I have several other companies as well, and then Cal is getting her real estate license.
She has several things going for her on her own.
Steven:Full time, yeah.
That sounds so fun.
What will be able to change for you two now that you’ll be able to live publicly together?
Are there places you’ve been maybe dying to go together?
Steven:Oh, yeah.
Steven:Yeah, we are huge, huge foodies.
We’re looking forward to going out to Kansas City and eating at any and every restaurant we can.
What were some of the most surprising moments for you two?
Calah:Going into it, we had no idea what the show was about.
All we knew [was that] it was a dating show and we assumed it was one guy.
I can’t even imagine.
Did it leave you with any preconceived notions of how the show might pan out or anything?
I have not seen it.
Calah:No, I have no idea.
Well, that might be fun to go back and watch now.
Calah:We should for sure.
In your opinions, what makes this series different from other romantic reality series?
Steven:The biggest spin on it is the fact that there’s two guys.
That was even larger than the money aspect of it.
You don’t see that in dating shows two guys that really get along.
That’s a really unique spin and a really cool spin on the dating show.
Calah:I know.
Steven:The fact that there wasn’t as much drama.
Calah:As much drama, yeah.
Steven:It was a unique set of the women and the two guys that were there.
It was a really cohesive group.
We called ourselves a dysfunctional family.
That’s nice to see, especially in a time right now where there’s so much divide.
That’s really nice to see.
We cover a lot of various reality shows and everything at The List.
She moved up last night and we got Netflix at my house.
I haven’t turned on the TV in like 10 months.
Steven and Calah reveal what’s next for them
Oh my God.
That’s so funny.
Calah:Yeah, thank goodness, he got it.
He finally got it.
He just got wifi literally as soon as I moved up.
Before, I’ve never watched any reality dating show or anything like that.
That’s my all-time go-to, love that show.
It is a classic at this point.
Calah:It’s classic, definitely.
What can you tell us about what’s next for you both individually and as a couple?
Calah:Yeah, we’re going to see where things lead.
I know we’re working on several things together.
Cal is finishing up her real estate license and I’m a builder.
We’ve got some exciting projects that we’re going to work on together through that.
I’ll have it in both states.
Especially being able to combine both of your careers.
That’s really awesome.
Steven:Yeah, absolutely.
Calah:It’ll be fun.
