Not only does Carbone often name who has been chosen by ABC's bachelor or bachelorette months in advance, he has mapped out entire seasons of the show.

"I can't believe I get this much information, every season. I still think it's weird that I get it," Carbone, 40, told the New York Times in an article published today all about his life as Reality Steve.
