Sexy Baby Wakefield is back to chat about British HIGH SOCIETY DARRLING. And I mean Ladies of London, Vanderpump Villa, Real Housewives and more. Is claiming someone doesn't 'get' British humour a gaslighting exercise? Or do these snowflake yanks need to get their shit together? The dolls get geopolitical (well, kinda) and discuss the cast of our new fave show Ladies of London at length.

Praise be! Michael McD is back with Sam on the cringe couch to rip into yet another season (slow down Hulu!) of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. And we have a a LOT to say about it. From Dancing With The Stars, to Vanderpump Villa visits by #DadTok the crossovers don’t end. Oh and a cheeky possum pops by too. That and a wrap on Australian Survivor redemption and more.

Babe alert! Fraud prevention specialist and crafty queen Keeley Jenkinson joins Sam online to recap her Australian Survivor Redemption experience and kiki about the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Keeley dishes some unaired alliance names (yes there were more!), who got a good edit and how she became such an iconic player overnight. This interview is a true delight and not to be missed.

Titans V Rebels runner-up Caroline Courtis and Sam (aka the authenticity police) are here to clock in to finale therapy. But first Sam gets the red carpet goss from the “live” reunion show and catches up on Survivor 50 with mum! Caleb's ratbag reign is upon us and he takes Jackson to the final two, via a fire making challenge that knocks out Sal. Mark is our Jury king and Keeley maintains her status as our fave player of the season. What redemption!

Australian Survivor Redemption is almost KAPUT and Shane and Sam have a medium sized amount of things to say about it. Returnees are dead, my shopping trolley murdered, my Keeley just gone, and I don’t like it. Caleb is ratbagging, Cameron is stinking and Sally is well.. doing her best? This poor Jury is gonna have a hard task, lol. That and how these two feel gut punched by the edit this week.
