TV RELOAD

Today on the podcast I am back talking about 'The Block!' As I have two more of the contestants from 'Channel Nine’s' latest series, it is the much talked about contestants 'Sharon and Ankur.'

This year 'The Block' took a tree change and we have seen more drama than any other series before. With 5 houses situated on 10 acres of land and weather conditions harsher than any season before - it is actually surprising all the contestants haven’t quit the competition. 

So is there any wonder why today we are talking to Sharon and Ankur about their tumultuous time on the series? Probs not!

However, I quite like them both as I feel like they are very real. We all sit at home and say - 'oh they are ungrateful' but we haven’t been in their shoes and no doubt we would all throw a tantrum or two. 

From builders spats, to picking that big house, there is plenty to pick apart and we will do just that. So stick around get the stories - from the houses mouths.

Today on the podcast I will continue on from yesterday as I unpack the latest reality TV series from 'Endemol Shine Australia' which is currently on 'Paramount +'. It is…. 'The Bridge!' 

Joining me is the winner of the series 'Bardie' - who managed to make the controversial decision to keep most of the money. 

I loved 'Bardie' on the show and it is no wonder why she won as most of the cast loved her too. 'Bardie' was the team leader with a heart and we will learn that she is a fantastic human too.

'The Bridge' saw a cast of unknowns forced into a situation where not only building a bridge was physically exhausting but mentally they faced a conundrum that would only see one person in charge of how the final prize money would be spent. 

'Bardie' talks about her brutal response from fans, why she took the money and how she feels about that decision now, where the money is now and why she would never do reality TV again. Todays chat is really interesting and I am sure you will be thinking about it for days!

Today on the podcast I will continue on from yesterday as I unpack the latest reality TV series from 'Endemol Shine Australia' which is currently on 'Paramount +'. It is…. The Bridge! 

Joining me is my favourite contestant this year 'Madison' - who managed to plenty of attention from the viewers with his likeable villain edit. Some may have been polarised by his game play but others like me would have loved his upfront nature.

'Madison' is the type of casting producer can only dream of when it comes to putting together a reality tv show.

The bridge saw a cast of unknowns forced into a situation where not only building a bridge was physically exhausting but mentally they faced a conundrum that would only see one person in charge of how the final prize money would be spent. 

'Madison' talks about his brutal edit at times, if he has maintained a friendship with the winner, how he would have handled the prize money, which reality show he actually applied for and some sassy commentary that will delight the 'Madison' fans.

However, let's get started with todays guest I would like to welcome Madison from 'The Bridge' to TV Reload!

This week on the podcast I have the top 3 queens from ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race: Down Under Series 2” and on today’s episode - I will hopefully give the fans a better insight into 'Hannah Conda' resume and and help you answer that question is 'Hannah' is our winner of the 2nd 'Down Under' series? 

This Saturday is already the finale and while the series has been a wild ride, I think the finale is going to be an excellent celebration of three very popular queens who truely deserve to be there.

'Hannah Conda' for a long time was a standout from the 'Perth' drag circuit, however quickly outgrew the 'Golden State' and in 2015 moved to Sydney where she cemented her superstar status by being the only queen to have ever won both 'Rising Star' and 'Entertainer of the Year' at the 'Drag Industry Variety Awards' (DIVAs) in the same year.

Hannah has been consistent and fantastic to watch. There is something very polished and on purpose with with everything she has done this season. Fans have said it is her show to lose - so we shall wait and see.

We will talk about why she nearly didn’t apply for this season, her connection with 'Molly Poppins,' why she couldn’t be bothered with the drama and of course what she will do with her win if she snatches that crown!

Plus for the last time we will play my ‘shady or lady’ game - with a few surprising answers!

This week on the podcast I have the top 3 Kweens from ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race: Down Under Series 2” and on today’s episode - I will hopefully give the fans a better insight into 'Spankie Jackzon’s' resume and and help you answer that question is 'Spanky' is our winner of the 2nd Down Under series? 

This Saturday is already the finale and while the series has been a wild ride, I think the finale is going to be an excellent celebration of three very popular queens who truely deserve to be there.

'Spankie Jackzon' wears their 37 years of age with pride, already winning the 'TVNZ+' reality series 'House Of Drag' and declared "coming of age in 'Palmerston North' has toughened her up for the cut-throat competition of 'RuPauls." Which may be true with the wisdom, empathy and honesty we have seen from this popular Kween.

'Spanky' took us on a journey that no one could really have predicted at the start of the season but as we approach the finale - I think it was that growth throughout the series is how she has won fans all over the world.

We will talk reality tv ‘strat’ and if she entered the show with a plan, how she joined drama without being the drama, who should be 'Miss Congeniality' and we will tackle the ‘shady or lady’ game - with includes 'Spanky’s' pick for this years winner!

This week on the podcast I have the top 3 kweens from ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race: Down Under Series 2” and on today’s episode - I will hopefully give the fans a better idea of 'Kween Kong’s' resume and and help you ask that question is 'Kween Kong' our winner of the 2nd 'Down Under' series? 

This Saturday is already the finale and while the series has been a wild ride, I think the finale is going to be an excellent celebration of three very popular queens who truely deserve to be there.

'Kween Kong' is of Tongan and Samoan heritage. She originally hails from ‘New Zealand’ but is currently residing in Australia and was probably the most established queen at the start of this series.

Kong is known for her powerhouse performances and is also a “professional dancer’ which is why the fandom started off with hopes for this awesome drag queen. 

We will talk inner saboteur, the clash with ‘Beverly Kills,’ who she thinks could easily sit beside ‘RuPaul’ and we will tackle the shady or lady - with the very first offical request to be a lady.

Today on the podcast I have another ridiculously attractive farmer from 'Channel Seven'’s latest series of 'Farmer Wants A Wife.' 

It is 'Farmer Ben' who is quickly proving to be quite popular amongst the fans of the show.

This year as we know five new farmers joined the series to find real love - in an another exciting new season of Australia’s favourite bush-fairy-tale. Which is now 100% getting juicier by the episode as it continues on 'Channel 7' and '7plus.' 

'Farmer Ben' is taking the experience very seriously and he has been quite honest with the girls as he navigates his own feelings toward them. It is a great show to get invested in - as we all secretly play judge and jury of who is right for our 'Farmer Ben.'

We will talk, his connection with Leash, what that means for the other girls, if he has already - in his words - done his nuts and of course his bromance with 'Farmer Will.'

Today on the podcast I have two of my favourite contestants from 'Channel Nine’s' 'The Block' 2022. It is 'Rachel and Ryan.'

This year 'The Block' took a tree change and as we know, immediately we saw two contestants run for the hills. With 5 houses situated on 10 acres of land and weather conditions harsher than any season before - it is no wonder the first week saw our first couple in Block history to ghost the popular 'Channel Nine' program. 

So when the going got tough 'Rachel and Ryan' got going. Turning up in less than two days and making their mark on the highly competitive show. While their scores haven’t yet won them a week. Many fans have been saying these two are still in good stead to win a substantial of money and only time will tell. 

I have to say how much I enjoyed this chat Both 'Rachel and Ryan' are super gorgeous and really passionate about what they do. It is all quite infectious and I hope they do well as the show roars toward the auctions which will be here before you know it. 

We will discuss room regrets, who has become friends for life, thoughts some of the comments online and what they think of next years location?

Today on the podcast I have executive producers 'Angie Fielder' and 'Polly Staniford' who are known for their outstanding work at 'Aquarius Films,' which has a brand new scripted drama 'Savage River' now screening on the 'ABC Australia.'

If you missed the episode one last Sunday - do yourself a favour and catch up on ABC iview as the second episode will debuts this Sunday night.

The series set in country Victoria, is director by 'Jocelyn Moorhouse' and stars 'Katherine Langford,' 'Virginia Gay,' 'Jacqueline McKenzie' and many other fantastic Australian actors. 

The story follows 'Knives Out' actress 'Katherine Langford’s' 'Miki Anderson' who returns to her hometown in rural 'Victoria' after eight years in prison, intending to get on with her life. However a murder is committed in the town, and the townspeople suspect her, and she sets out to prove her innocence.

The story is more than a who done it! With complex characters of a small town characters we really care about. So today will get some interesting insights into how this show was made, why 'Warburton' was used for the fictitious small town of 'Savage River' and how two Aussie content creators saw the promise of two writers from 'Tasmania.'
