Hi Guys, welcome back to TV Reload. Thank you for clicking or downloading on today’s episode with Candice Warner. Our second eliminated celebrity from I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here for 2024.

When we last caught up with the popular reality series farewells in camp continue on Thursday with Candice Warner leaving the South African jungle behind.

But what an eventful time Candice had in camp, the former champion Iron-woman proved her worth with icy cold plunges, braving terrifying heights and surviving a shopping spree that even the most retail-addicted would rather avoid.

Around the camp, Candice had many heart-to-heart conversations with campmates discussing shared experiences in the sports industry, shedding light on the resilience and strength required to navigate the highs and lows of life in the public eye, and opening up about her experience of miscarriage, motherhood and marriage. Nothing was off limits and Candice will certainly be remembered. 

Also Candice was thrilled with the opportunity to highlight the importance of protecting our youth from bullying with her chosen charity, Dolly’s Dream.

• Candice will reveals how real the experience in the jungle really is with horror stories of snakes, scorpions and influencers.
• We will unpack the conversations Candice had with her husband David Warner before going into the Jungle. Plus how she managed to navigate her schedule to make time for the show.
• You will get some interesting insights into what the celebs have been thinking regarding the eliminations being left to the end of the series and I will ask about tonights shocking walk out from one of her fellow camp mates.
• I am also going to unpack her polarising confrontation with Skye and find out why she felt the need to speak up and defend herself. 

There is so much to unpack with Candice. So sit back and relax as we unpack her time in the South African jungle.

Hi Guys, welcome back to TV Reload. Thank you for clicking or downloading on today’s episode with Samantha Armatige. The host of Farmer Wants a Wife 2024 which starts on Sunday night at 7:30 on Channel on Seven.

Samantha Armytage is an Australian journalist and television presenter. Sam was previously co-host of the Seven Network's breakfast television program Sunrise from 2013 to 2021 alongside David Koch. Only a few years ago Samantha was slowly integrated into the much loved reality series and last year her inclusion as full time host saw the show rise 16% in its category. 

This season thousands of eligible women from all around Australia applied to meet our farmers and after a series of speed dates in the Hunter Valley, the farmers will choose their top five ladies to invite back to the farm. The ladies will be shown the lay of the land, participate in farm work and go on a series of spectacular dates before the farmers determine if there is enough chemistry to spark a lifelong connection.

During the first two episodes, the five farmers for the 2024 season — Bert, Dean, Dustin, Joe and Tom — must choose five out of their eight ladies to return to their farms across Australia.

This leaves a total of 15 women, who had been hoping to find love, having to head home before their farmer journey can properly begin. It is pretty brutal but I know you guys will love it.

• Samantha reveals her thoughts about the media landscape and if she has closed the door on her journalistic career.

Hi Guys, welcome back to TV Reload. Thank you for clicking or downloading on today’s episode with the winner of Australian Survivor... Feras. Who is here to share his story and man alive are you in for a treat.

Australian Survivor: Titans V Rebels was a showdown that pitted the winners against the underdogs and the big wigs against the battlers, with an emotional outcome seeing original Rebel walking away with the grand prize of $500,000.

(before I go on I would like to acknowledge Mark and Caroline.. who both did so well… and 'kudos' to them for their ability to survive on the island of Samoa for 47 days.)

Feras from Sydney NSW, was fiercely loyal to his allies, he played a confident social game that allowed him to recover from a few blunders that almost saw his game end a couple fo times throughout the series, most notably during the tribe switch tribe switch when his back was totally up against the wall. 

After the games merge, Feras settled into a comfortable position and was rarely targeted - despite having a public but yet hidden immunity Idol. At this point of the game his decision to align with rival Kirby created a formidable duo that brought them both much success and subsequently afforded him a guaranteed path to the final two. 

However, when Kirby lost immunity at the final five, Feras took a big risk by dispensing of her and and came super close to being eliminated himself when he lost the next immunity challenge. Ultimately, Feras was able to win the Final Immunity Challenge and he made it to the final two. 

Despite a slow start to final tribal council where his vague answers were met with a cold reception from the jury, Feras made an impressive comeback with his confident advocacy for his game. At that point he earned the jury's respect and unanimously  was crowned the first Sole Survivor of Arab descent.

• Feras will reveal for the first time who trained him for the current series and how this former survivor god actually helped him win the game.
• We will unpack Carolines reaction to the unanimous vote and where that relationship is at now. With some insights into why Mark and Kitty surprising wrote his name down over their alliance with Caroline. 
• I will find out who Feras thinks deserves a do over from his season… and we will hear who he would like to play against if he ever returned. 
• Plus, I will ask fan question’s including the back story to Nathan dodger jacket and the surprising place that much sort after item has ended up

There is so much to unpack with Feras I am just teasing you with some of the stories you will get today. So sit back and relax as we dive just that little bit deeper into the world of Australian Survivor.

Hi Guys, welcome back to TV Reload. Thank you for clicking or downloading on today’s episode with Raymond the 4th placed contestant from this year's Australian Survivor which is now on Network Ten!

I will be talking about the Raymond’s time in Samoa and of course what he thinks now… that the smoke has well and truly been snuffed out on his touch. 

Australian Survivor: Titans V Rebels is a showdown that pits the winners against the underdogs and the big wigs against the battlers, with each player competing for the grand prize of $500,000. 

Generally perceived as a kooky oddball who sided loyally with his ally Feras, Raymond spent most of the game lacking in agency until he notably flipped on his allies to blindside Jaden before notoriously orchestrating Valeria’s blindside at the final nine by weaponising his Ultimate Vote advantage. 

Despite his high-profile moves, Raymond was able to keep his target low until the final four, when his allegiance to Feras made him an unappealing person for the Titans to keep stringing along. On Day 45, he was eliminated in the second fire-making tie-breaker in Australian Survivor history.

• We will unpack that advantage twist from how Raymond pulled it off, to who is still pissed off and if this could be the start of a career in acting!
• Raymond will talk about how and when his alliance with Feras started and if Feras had looped him in on his bogus top three deals with Mark and Caroline. 
• I will ask about why he went so hard for that popcorn and get his POV on other castaways calling him weird but loveable?
• Plus we find out about the rumours he was going to be a Titan and why he sported that peroxided hair…

There is so much to unpack with Raymond  and he is really fun to talk to. So sit back and relax as we dive just that little bit deeper into the world of Australian Survivor.

Hi Guys, welcome back to TV Reload. Thank you for clicking or downloading on today’s episode with Kirby... the now 5th place contestant from this year's Australian Survivor which is now on Network Ten!

I will be talking about the Kirby’s time in Samoa and of course what she thinks now… the smoke has well and truly been snuffed out on his touch. 

Australian Survivor: Titans V Rebels is a showdown that pits the winners against the underdogs and the big wigs against the battlers, with each player competing for the grand prize of $500,000. 

A strategically aggressive player from the start, Kirby used her sociability to arrange numerous blindsides to further herself in the game, though her unpredictability caused her to be embroiled in a rivalry with Feras.

After laying low during the early merge, her strategic position saw a resurgence and she initiated a truce with Feras, realising the mutual benefit of an alliance. 

Laying down their swords, Kirby and Feras proceeded to dominate the endgame until Kirby's target became too great to overlook, forcing her to win the remaining Immunity Challenge to save herself. 

When she lost immunity at the final five, she was voted out unanimously for being the biggest threat in the game.

• We will unpack the Kirby and Feras relationship once and for all and find out where there relationship is at now!
• Kirby will breakdown the resume of the remaining players and give us some exclusive details on the hot topics back at the Jury Villa!
• I will ask about Kirby’ s relationship with a former Australian Survivor legend and how much of his season she had watched?
• Plus we find out how those pieces to camera are made and how that affects castaways decisions 

There is so much to unpack with Kirby and he is really fun to talk to. So sit back and relax as we dive just that little bit deeper into the world of Australian Survivor.
