TV RELOAD

Today on the podcast I have a feisty and yet confident Aussie queen from ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race: Down Under Series 2.” Today's guest is Beverly Kills! 

From day one, 'Beverly Kills' was in it to win it and she was not taking any prisoners. The rest of the queens, at times seem to struggle with Bev’s super confidence and some would say she was the least self aware, while others could see her take on the competition simply competitive.

There was plenty screen time for 'Bev' and with no eyebrows and undeniably a pretty face, fans of the show could not argue that producers had struck gold with her casting on the second down under series.

It all seemed to come to a head with the numbers down to 5 and few strong words from her fellow queens. who unanimously felt it Bev's time to go. 

We will talk about the her confidence or false confidence (depends on who you speak to) if RuPaul taught her some life lessons? And about about that final lip sink - was she intimidated by Queen Kong? We also speak about and how she feels about her co-stars now.

Today on the podcast I have one of this years most active love interests. Someone I believe Australia is set to fall in love with. It is 'Farmer Will' from 'Farmer Wants a Wife!'

This year five new farmers are ready to follow their hearts down the road to real love in an exciting new season of Australia’s favourite bush fairy tale, 'Farmer Wants A Wife,' which premiers this Sunday at 7:00 on 'Channel 7' and '7plus.' 

I am sure you have seen the ads and the posters around town and you know Will is super gorgeous and is sure to win over the hearts of this years female hopefuls. I was lucky enough to sit down with Will and have this chat and did all that I could not be a total creep even though Will looks a lot like 'Rob Lowe' / 'Zach Efron' has had a baby.

We will talk, how this opportunity came up, how is he single, what his mates think of him signing up for the series and if he is more worried about breaking his heart than the girls lining up to find love.

Today on the podcast I am so excited to have this chat with 'Robyn Butler' and 'Wayne Hope! 'They have been a creative duo on a couple of shows which I have absolute loved, goggle their 'IMDB' as I am sure you loved their back catalogue too - they are here to discuss their latest project 'Summer Love' on the 'ABC' and I am thrilled to be unpacking this fantastic new series with them both.

'Summer Love' sees eight very different sets of people rent the same 'AirBnb' at different times along the great 'Ocean Road,' capturing the collision between the dreamy enchantment of the beach and the clumsy reality of humans on holiday. There are so many relatable moments in this series, for anyone who has taken a holiday with their mates, their partner, themselves - basically 8 different denominations of potential disasters wrapped up in the warmth of an idealistic setting for the perfect holiday.. This show makes you feel seen, you will totally relate to one or more stories, but ultimately you will commiserate and laugh and have a few talking points with your friends and family the next time you see them?

The acting is delicious, the team of writers is outstanding and the music is the fitting bow that ties this phenomenal series together. 'Summer Love' launches this Wednesday but by the time you hear this no doubt you will be able to watch the first episode on 'Iview.'

We discuss why 'Wayne' and 'Robyn' love the 'ABC', how the show was born, whether I am crazy with my 'White Lotus' reference points and if you can rent this mind-blowing 'AirBnb' in real life!

Today on the podcast I have the gorgeous queen from ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race: Down Under Series 2.” It is Yuri Guaii!

On this second season of 'Down Under' we have really been treated to different blend of personalities. Each contestant offering vastly different stories and overcoming different hurdles - making this years competition anyone’s guess on who will take home the crown!

There was plenty of people online talking about 'Yuri Guaii’s' time on the show and this queen had a lot of us wondering if she was the secret trade of the season. 

With this week's episode focusing on a new rivalry between 'Queen Kong' and 'Beverly Kills' - it was sadly two queens in the backseat of the episode who unfortunately landed in the bottom two and saw 'Yuri Guaii' packing!

We will talk about the her lack of confidence, if 'RuPaul' was accurate in suggesting there might be a backstory holding her back and a quick game of shady or lady that will see one honest answer pretty much sum up this queens time on the show.

Today on the podcast I have two of this years biggest personalities on Australian screens. It is 'Tom' and 'Sarah Jane' from 'Channel Nine’s' 'The Block!' 

This year 'The Block' has had a tree change and this years contestants have taken on a challenge that would and should normally send anyone a little crazy. With five houses situated on ten acres of land and weather conditions harsher than any season before - it is no wonder the ratings for 'The Block' have smashed all expectations of TV commentators across the country.

One of the most important parts in making a show like 'The Block' successful is getting the casting right. So when 'Tom' and 'Sarah Jane' applied for the 2022 series - it is no surprise producers were quick to snap up these two Victorians from 'Gladstone Park.'

The two have a different love language to any other contestant this year or probably ever seen before and while Australian audiences are certainly polarised by the couple’s communication whilst navigating the competition I think their honesty with each other is quite entertaining and quite realistic of how most couples interact when looking for resolution in conflict.

We will discuss what they think of their fiery relationship at times, what they think of audiences opinions, if their relationships with the other houses has evolved and who they think will come out with the most amount of cash!

Today on the podcast I have the latest unmasked celebrity from 'Channel Ten’s' 'The Masked Singer Australia.'

While we have bought his music and loved his Aussie charm - not everybody worked out who was behind the 'BlowFly’s' mask - that’s right today’s guest is 'Shannon Noll!'

‘Nollsie’ is a true Aussie legend, who we as an audience first came to know almost two decades ago on 'Australian Idol.' He somehow encapsulates the sound of an Aussie pub and a good time with your mates - which sounds ridiculous but you all know what I mean. 

His voice continues to win over fans and his appeal is something you need to see to believe. Like most Australian’s, I have a 'Shannon Noll' story and this is because of his generosity with his fans and the types of gigs he has been performing for such a long time.

I am not shocked that 'Abbie Chatfield' and 'Mel B' were able to detect his voice under the mask and like most of his fans - we all knew it had to be him - with such a recognisable sound to his voice.

We will discuss his universal cult status, why he chose to do the masked singer, if he thought he should try and disguise his voice and if he is sick of losing singing competitions?

Executive Producer Penny Win from the scripted drama ‘The Twelve joins me to unpack the brilliant new Australian series! Which reaches its conclusion this week on 'FOXTEL' and 'Binge.'

Over 10 weeks fans have been glued to their screens, as startling revelations of a high-profile murder trial have unfolded, alongside the stories of the 12 jurors who are not only confronted with the grim details of the case but with their own realities and struggles which will irrevocably changed their lives forever.

Penny has worked across amazing shows like 'Wentworth,' 'A Place to Call Home,' 'Deadline Gallipoli' and so many other brilliant drama’s that Australian and international audiences have not only enjoyed but have celebrated.

Actors want to work with her, crews want to work with her and writers know how much she values their hard work making the characters we see on our screens come alive. 

We will talk about 'The Twelve’s' journey from page to screen, if scripted drama is getting easier or harder to make, the pressure or constraints of delivering a certain amount of episodes and what Penny thinks of the statistic that has most of Australia believing her character 'Kate Lawson' is innocent.
