Mamamia Reviews

It’s a happy/sad week in the world of TV. The Bachelor is finishing up, Offspring Season five is almost over and The Biggest Loser is getting a make-over (or make-under, we’re not really sure). So what does that leave us with? A brand-spanking new true crime documentary about Amanda Knox that's been labelled "the new Making a Murderer". Plus, Australian's were surveyed about their TV pet peeves, and no one mentioned NCIS. 

Show Notes

This episode was hosted by Laura Brodnik and Jessie Stephens.

The Biggest Loser:Transformation is returning to Network 10 in 2017.

Amanda Knox airs on September 30 on Netflix.

Offspring’s season finale is on Wednesday at 8:30pm on Channel 10.

The final episode of The Bachelor airs Thursday at 7:30pm on Channel 10.

Our hero-villain Keira Maguire's in the Mamamia podcast cupboard tonight, and she answered everything we threw at her, including unmasking the house mean girls and whether or not she listens to Bach Chat (duh, of course she does, because she likes it). Meanwhile, what happens when you take five Bachelor contestants on a camping roadtrip? Campfire drama, that's what. Every mozzie bite dissected, here.

Dave from Married At First Sight is rubbing everyone the wrong way, but guest host Jessie Stephens thinks we should be a little kinder to the man who told his new wife to lose weight. Plus we finally have an air date for Channel Ten’s new show The Wrong Girl and while Jessie thinks it might just be the show she's been waiting for, Laura is underwhelmed. And for all of you who think you might be able to get rich by going on TV, think again, we talk to a reality contestant about what REALLY happens when you quit your job for fame.

Things are getting serious. This week we had a date that was insulting to all country people.  A death date full of mud. And an INTRUDER GOT A ROSE. But the biggest question we need answered: Why didn't Alex tie her hair up during Tough Mudder? We also speak to former Bachelor contestant Zilda Williams, who tells us that everything we are seeing on UnREAL is basically true. Nope, she does not hold back.

Australia's most controversial TV show is back, this time with a gay wedding. In a country where same-sex marriage is illegal, is Married At First Sight being progressive or offensive? The brains behind 90210 and Sex and the City - Darren Star - has a new show that's' making us want to act younger. Just when we thought The Fall couldn't get any scarier, season three is taking a turn towards terror. And Nashville has been signed up for another season...but there's bad news for Connie Britton's hair.

Was it just us or did The Bachelor go a little 50 shades of Grey on us tonight? We had a touch-test that got very sensual *cough* Alex *cough*. This week Laura, Amy and Jess are joined by former Bachelor contestant Eliza St John. She politely listens to the song we wrote for her, and then shares some excellent rose-ceremony secrets, probably just to shut us up.

Get ready to be smacked across the face with a salmon. Because this week a LOT goes down in Bach world: There's a walk out. The best smack-down we've ever heard. Three intruders. And, here in the Bach Chat mansion, we have one of our own. Rachel Moore was an interloper on last year's season of The Bachelor, and this week she joins Laura, Amy and Jo to tell them what it's really like to walk in when the man competition is in full swing. 

And, in case you were wondering, yes, the "girls" really are THAT mean to intruders.

Did UnREAL just get way too UnREAL? Season two is over and critics are fuming over plot holes and badly written characters. Where do Quinn and Rachel stand? And will there be a season three? Also, Australian Survivor returns this week and has been cast to absolute tiki-torch perfection. The Kardashians are about to launch another reality TV show, but it's messier than a Rob in a Chyna shop. Plus was Baz Luhrmann's Get Down actually more of a letdown?

Show Notes

Australian Survivor premieres Sunday at 7.30pm on Channel 10. For more survivor, go back and listen to the episode with Jamila Rizvi called  Australian Survivor and Feminist Game Of Thrones.

Season 1 of Making a Murderer is available on Netflix

Rob & Chyna will premiere on the 8th of September on E!

The whole season of The Get Down is available now on Netflix.

You can watch seasons 1 & 2 of UnREAL on Stan.

The life of a Bachelorette isn't all it's cracked up to be.

This week on Bach Chat, Laura, Amy and Jo are joined by former Bachelor contestant Penny Palman. And of course, Penny lets us know what really goes on when the cameras aren’t rolling. Like the fact that the roses in the garden are FAKE. And how many bunk beds are in one room (Hint, A LOT).

And that's before we've even started on the baby dolls.
