✨ Highlights so far: Jess reveals her favourite moments from the first few episodes

💰 Cost-of-living hacks: Easy DIYs and budget-friendly tips — from paint to Facebook Marketplace finds — that make a real difference

🖼️ Home tour: Jess even picks up the laptop and gives us a tour around her home to show us a couple renting friendly design hacks!

🖼️ DIY queen confession: Fleur (proudly?) admits to being obsessed with doing paint-by-numbers artworks (and hangs them at home for a cheap art cheat – just don’t look too close for the numbers)

👫 Working with your ex: Jess opens up about co-hosting Budget Battlers with former partner Norm and how they make it work while raising two kids

💡 The big risk: Jess and Norm sold their house to fund the show’s pilot and start their production company — she tells us what that leap of faith was really like

🎬 Event Cinemas red carpet — We were on the red carpet to chat to the lovely ladies and the man on everyone’s mind Barry “Bear” Myrdon

🐻 We met “The Bear” — Australia’s first Golden Bachelor is nice enough, but does he need to ramp up the charisma?

💰 RME = Rich Man Energy — the new term we coined inspired by MAFS’ Clint. Does Bear have RME? Not quite

🇨🇦 A Canadian Bachelor? Some fans aren’t thrilled Bear’s not Aussie. Our vote for a future Golden Bachelor: Mark Bouris!

💃 Sam Armytage hosted — stunning, gracious, and making it clear that she’s not signing up to be the Golden Bachelorette anytime soon

👖 Sam’s Mosman resale rack — yes, we checked it out at Venla (#32). Lots of prints, but no sale for Shelley

💞 The real stars? The ladies. They were warm, confident, and all about sisterhood, not drama. Basically “too old for the bullshit”

👩‍👧 Abbie Chatfield’s mum Laura (64) was a crowd fave — bright, chatty, and proudly supported by Abbie and her BF Peking Duk’s Adam Hyde.

💗 Angela, 52, psychotherapist — beautiful, clever, in pink Rebecca Vallance. Shockingly sent home night one despite seeming like a frontrunner!

🏎️ Kim the doctor from QLD — widowed twice, mum of five, Porsche racer, total standout

🖤 Janette the Pilates instructor — stunning, confident, had a heart attack at 50, scored the first kiss. Invited us to her Pilates studio. Definitely one to watch.

🎤 Bianca Dye cameo! Our old media mate, is hilarious and heartfelt — she’s the show’s comic relief and deserves a bigger TV comeback

This show is brought to you by Isn’t It Nice We Hate The Same Things, the new novel by Jessica Seaborn out now through Penguin.

🤯 AKA CHARLIE SHEEN: A WTF life

·      Netflix’s new Charlie Sheen doco divides opinion – some loved it, others hated it

·      Charlie claims he’s nearly 8 years sober and 10 years celibate – what?

·      Critics say it glorifies his sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll lifestyle despite past abuses

·      Serious allegations resurface, including Corey Haim claims and domestic violence issues

·      Denise Richards praised for stepping in to care for Charlie’s children during his drug binges

🎭 REAL HOUSEWIVES OF LONDON: Fifty shades of red

·      Real Housewives of London still feels flat despite Cotswolds antics and tame drama

·      Juliet Angus joins next episode, reuniting with Caroline Stanbury and trading insults with Amanda

·      The hair across franchises is at an all-time low – from Amanda’s 1980s look to Juliet Mayhew’s sky-high ponytail

·      Gretchen’s pink, bow-heavy style on OC is cringey and costume-like

🧣 REAL HOUSEWIVES OF OC: Life’s a very cold beach

·      RHOC season feels tedious – come on ladies

·      Cold filming makes beach scenes awkward – OC should be about sun and fun

·      Fashion is lacking, with endless yoga outfits (Heather excluded)

·      Cast trip heads to Amsterdam, while RHOBH’s rumoured Australia trip turned out to be Florence lol

🏁 AMAZING RACE AUSTRALIA: CELEBRITY EDITION: Ant’s brother Dan goes rogue

·      BTS scandal – Ant Middleton’s brother Dan accused of a homophobic incident in Nepal

·      Dan allegedly made repeated offensive remarks toward Luke and “Sassy” Scott O’Halloran; Brendan Fevola reportedly defended them

·      Ant distanced himself, saying he wasn’t involved, though questions remain about bringing his brother on

·      Meanwhile, Parvati dominated and won Australian Survivor Vs the World, while Cirie still can’t make fire after six seasons

🥕 BELOW DECK: The excitement of vegetable chopping

·      Below Deck season is so dull, with endless kitchen chores and recycled fake drama

·      Crew hook-ups (and Solenè’s cold sores) offered little excitement; Kyle’s toilet fling was the only standout

·      Last charter features MILFs, shirtless crew, and Chef Anthony panicking over an eight-course dinner

·      Off-camera drama: Barbara and Jess fell out after Solenè was caught naked in Jess’s room; next up is Below Deck Med with Captain Sandy Yawn and a Below Deck baby twist

😱 RUBY & JODI: A CULT OF SIN AND INFLUENCE: Why is this stuff still online

·      HBO Max’s doco series shifts focus from Ruby Franke to Jodi Hildebrandt

·      Jodi’s Connexions “therapy” group is exposed as a cult that controlled Ruby and Kevin Franke

·      Shockingly, Jodi’s social media pages and podcast with 243 episodes are still online

·      Her content covers disturbing topics, and despite her conviction, her influence remains accessible

💔 EMMA AND BRUCE WILLIS: THE UNEXPECTED JOURNEY: So heartbreaking

·      Disney+ doco explores Bruce’s dementia diagnosis.

·      Bruce was diagnosed in 2023 with frontotemporal dementia, affecting language and personality.

·      Emma has become his full-time carer, written a book, and advocates for carers while raising their two daughters

·      Bruce now lives with 24/7 care nearby

Isn’t It Nice We Both Hate The Same Things by Jessica Seaborn is out now through Penguin.

🎬 Jessica tells us about whether being a TV PR is as fun as it seems.

✍️ Despite her busy career in TV publicity, Jessica has also found the time to write novels—this is actually her second one. She shares how she manages her time, when she writes, and what her process looks like.

📖 Writing has clearly been an important part of Jessica’s journey, and she reflects on whether it’s something she has always wanted to do.

📚 Jessica’s new novel Isn’t It Nice We Both Hate the Same Things follows Charlie, a 30-something radio producer who, after splitting with her husband, suddenly finds herself without friends. Charlie struggles to rebuild her social circle and find her tribe, and Jessica explains how much of this story reflects her own experiences.

💬 Jessica talks about why she chose to write about the theme of friendship and disconnection.

🌍 With the book tapping into the growing conversation about loneliness, Jessica discusses how advice and stories often focus on finding love, but rarely on finding friends—even though loneliness affects younger people as well as older generations. She explains why navigating friendship in your 30s can be so difficult.

💔 Fleur shares her own painful experience of being “friend-dumped” in her 30s, and Jessica reflects on whether she has faced similar situations.

🌱 Jessica reveals what her character Charlie ultimately learns about friendship as the story unfolds.

📺 Jessica gives us a look at the exciting new shows on Stan.
