Mamamia Reviews

We went to Canada to visit the set of UnREAL.

The smash-hit dramedy that goes behind-the-scenes on a Bachelor-style dating show has just started season two. And Laura Brodnik got to snoop around the mansion, meet Quinn and Rachel, dodge Chet, and find out what's in store for the next season of this breakout show.

Plus, why Outlander has the best sex on television, what we can expect from the season four of Orange Is The New Black and why Melissa McCarthy finally agreed to appear on the Gilmore Girls reboot.

We need to talk about Jon. Sorry, there will be spoilers here, but like everyone we know, we are living week to week waiting for GOT, and we need to talk.

Does winning a reality show really change your life? Last year's MKR winners, Will and Steve, have some sage advice for the title holders of this year.

Why the Logies needs more women. Inside Amy Schumer is back and not everyone is laughing. And we were all captivated by the 60 minutes prison saga but what does this really say about us as viewers?

Pass the champagne, dolls. Because you thought you knew all the producer secrets that go into shows like The Bachelor?

Nah uh.

In a week that Bachelor Blake and Louise Pilladge split, we were feeling disillusioned with the whole LOVE process. BUT THEN, this happened.

We lured in a former producer to break all the codes and tell us what really happens behind the scenes of our favourite crystal-glassed, candle-mansioned love fest.

Also today, there are at least FOUR other shows mentioned in this episode that will restore your faith in TV. 

The new ABC drama that's blazing a trail for all the right reasons, the BBC documentary that will change the way you think about children, and could Bunheads be the new Gilmore Girls?
