TV RELOAD

Hi Guys, welcome back to TV Reload. Thank you for clicking or downloading on today’s episode with Khahn Ong. Our 6th eliminated celebrity from I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here for 2024.

During his time in the jungle, Khanh used his chef skills from MasterChef Australia – and the tips and tricks he picked up during his time on Australian Survivor to make the most of the limited camp kitchen.

But it wasn’t just cooking and chatting for Khanh, who made the most of his time in the jungle by tackling some of the biggest and boldest challenges. 

Dropped off the side of a mountain on his very first day, Khanh also went on a shopping spree from hell in the Jungle Shop Of Horrors, Khanh asked for a refund during the first eating trial of the season namely titled Vom Appetite, and singlehandedly brought home a full suite of stars in Stinking Ship 2: Stink Harder!

While there were laughs aplenty, Khanh’s time in the jungle was for a cause close to his heart, Minus18 Youth, whose work had positively impacted his own journey of self-discovery.

• Kahn reveals how many times Network Ten asked him to do the show and he will share just how long he had been keeping this a secret.
• We will find out who he did not want to see in camp and the bizarre lengths he went to - to find out if this celebrity would be joining him on the show!
• I am also going to talk about his huge resume of reality shows and if he would ever return to Masterchef, Survivor and or a Allstars season of Im A Celeb?
• We will burn through a list of intrusive questions! As I ask Khahn to plead the fifth with a round of juicy questions about his career and his time in the jungle. (Which will expose things like who he hated in the camp and what is actually going on with his relationship with Bachelor Matt Agnew. Will he plead the firth? You will have to stick around to find out.) 

 There is so much to unpack with Khahn. 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.

Twenty years after Guy Sebastian pipped Shannon Noll to become Australia’s first Idol, the international star-making reality TV sensation returned to Seven this year and if you missed this season - I highly recommend you go back and watch the whole thing.
