TV RELOAD

Today on the podcast I have superstar intruder Brenton, who has been eliminated at the final hurdle of Big Brother Australia

Brenton entered the competition with one of the funniest game plans to start with which was quickly nixed for his challenge beast status. The actor turned reality TV star pulled off some great moves and proved even the biggest doubters that he was a force to be reckoned with.

We talk why he entered the house, whether he genuinely thought Trevor was actually Big Brother - what he thinks about flying under the radar and how his time in the house won’t affect his acting.

TOP TEA WITH THE TOP THREE OF BIG BROTHER!

Today on the podcast I have the final three housemates from Big Brother 2022!

The entire season has been massive a ride for all housemates and while Channel 7 gears up for a 'mega finale' to tonight night at 7:30. I have OG superstar Reggie, super fan Johnson and strategic rat bag Taras ready to unpack their road to glory!

Who will win? You decide!

Details on how to vote have become available on the Channel 7 website and Facebook page - head to www.BigBrother.com.au now that voting has opened - it is one vote per person per email..

Make sure you vote so your winner doesn’t fall over at the finish line. $250,000 is a lot at stake and these housemates need you more than ever!

This year we saw ‘Head of House,’ a ‘power twist,’ ‘2nd chance challenges,’ ‘themed weeks,’ ‘housemate nominations’ and ‘secret missions’ all shake up the house, as returning favourites went up against a new breed of housemates.

Endemol Shine Australia picked 7 of the most memorable housemates to return to the house and from, Tully and Drew to Tim Layla and Estelle, even earlier season superstars Reggie, Trevor and Framer Dave, the celebration of 21 years since big Brother launched has been epic.

The O.G’s vs Newbies was how the game started out but as the numbers dwindled and alliances crumbled all that was left was Reggie, Johnson and Taras set to face the public vote.

We talk why they should win and what they think of each other.

Today on the podcast I have the impulsive and strategic newbie from Big Brother 2022, it is Aleisha. 

Just when you thought you had a shake and bake romance in the big Brother House, think again. Aleisha did fall for the handsome and very single housemate Joel and when those feeling weren’t exactly reciprocated and her love interest got the boot - we saw the self confessed head player take on and take out some of the biggest names in Big brother history.

This series Aleisha really gave this competition her all. Like it, love, hate it despise her - I have to say she was one of the best players we have seen in the last three years. Those who love a ruthless game have been loving this seasons blonde bombshell.

We will talk Big Brother edits, the problematic 'what’s app' group, her female inspirations growing up and some firm answers as I ask her Gretel’s top ten questions from the early iteration of Big Brother. Which Aleisha doesn't hold back with her short sharpe answers.

Today on the podcast I have Masterchef Australia’s first ever winner and this seasons latest evictee Julie Goodwin.

This season we welcome back to the kitchen the most celebrated contestant ever and while she had most of Australia banking on her second win. It was a burnt cake that cooked her chances at a second trophy on the hit Channel Ten program.

Julie had the entire cast talking about her affable nature and warm presence in the competition.. With every stating what you see is what you get. Julie has been in the Jungle, on radio, in your cook books and many budding chefs have been in her cooking classes. Is there nothing this powerful woman can not do.

There is a moment in this chat where Julie refers to her 'Forrest Gump life' which actually made me giggle. The extraordinary story just keeps getting bigger and better. All the while being her humble self. 

We will talk, what’s next, what she thought in the final cook, drinking culture, best career moments and who she thinks will win.

BURYING THE HATCHET.

Today on the podcast I have celebrated former 2012 housemate and returning favourite Estelle.

This episode in my mind was something I never actually thought would happen because Estelle and I have a some issues in the past but I am grateful when the opportunity came up. As we were able to talk about our previously problematic relationship and then move on to celebrate her time in the new Big Brother house.

I can’t believe we caught up like this and we’re able to discuss the ‘bully’ and ‘victim’ labels that have haunted us for 10 years.

I‘d love for people to understand that while housemates can clash and fall out there is usually a lot of love left in the tank - no matter how fractured the relationship has been. We discuss this in our chat and I hope we can offer some clarity on our falling out, which has been widely discussed amongst the BB forums.

Estelle has played a huge role in the recent competition but sadly Estelle has lost her place in the house only a week away from the end..

Estelle is most definitely a interesting player and yet again she has navigated her way through the another iteration of Big Brother. No mater what anyone says she has resonated with a mammoth following all over again.. 'The Estellahood!'

We will talk ‘heart players!’ Should ‘lies’ be called moves? Where she stands with Tim and Taras? Estelle’s friendship with Justin Bieber! Public twitter feuds and even her thoughts about the pandemic. After a contentious media presence saw people question if she was vaccinated for her Big Brother return.

It’s is unfiltered, barely edited and I am very grateful for Estelle and for her time.

Today on the podcast I have the greatest Big Brother housemate Australia has ever seen.

He may polarise his viewers but the love for Tim far out weighs the hate and one thing I know about Tim Dormer is his truth, packaged up with mischief and intelligent insights is always great entertainment.

Back in 2013 Tim played Big Brother so well, I felt like no one was ever going to come close to his celebrated win... and in some ways they really haven’t.

Sadly, our relationship has had a few bumps in the road and while we did have a lot in common - nothing ever seemed to make sense in our feud that has lasted nearly a decade.

The last few months has been like therapy for me and it is a joy to share this chat with you because I have never talked to Tim Dormer like this before. (We have a lot to unpack)

Tim was hesitant to return to the Big Brother franchise this year but without him it would have been a massive hole in the series. So producers pulled out the stops to lock him down and put him back in the house to celebrate 21 years of Big Brother history.

Tim will talk problematic relationships including 'the Amber Heard tweet' to Estelle, how Ben Zabel would have gone in the new format, his personal journey, who he thinks will win and so much tea will be spilt - I suggest you go and grab two empty cups!

However, lets get started with todays guest I would like to welcome Tim Dormer to TV Reload!

Today on the podcast I have Masterchef Australia’s latest eliminated contender its a favourite returning contestant Alvin.

This season we have been lucky enough to welcome back some of the most powerful cooks ever seen on the hit reality show and Alvin has been in our minds ever since we saw him on series 2.

Alvin is as cute a button and has been on an emotional but fulfilling ride this series of fan vs favourites. We have seen him cry, we have seen him overcome his demons and making it all the way to finals week has been a joy to watch.

We will talk about the highs and lows, his up coming projects who he thinks will win and also which judge he would like to have over for dinner.

Today on the podcast I have Masterchef Australia’s latest eliminated contender its our gorgeous indigenous gal, Mindy. 

This season we have been lucky enough to welcome back some of the most powerful cooks ever seen on the hit reality show and Mindy has been building her story ever since we last saw her in 2012!

Mindy has a special connection to our country and this year she has brought more than just her food to the competition. Her powerful presence allowed her to influence her rivals and the positivity in her mantra is simply inspiring.

We will talk culture and the importance of food, what Mindy has planned for the next generation, who she would like to see win and how the return to home country in Byron has been so important to her story.

Today on the podcast I have Gabbie from Big Brother 2022! One of the youngest newbies in the competition. I believe this housemate was strategically place to keep the average age down of all the housemates for this season.

Gabbie played a great game and she was more than just 'mermaid hair' or a seat filler. We saw her relationship grow and change but ultimately she was navigating what she thought was right… and guys that’s why this podcast chat is super fun.

Gabbie had a fair few challenges within her time in the house - one being Queen Reggie not quite buying into her game, Gabbie was also the third wheel in this years 'showmance,' not always being sure on Tim and Estelle and who to trust but overall fighting her way to the second last week of Big Brother.

We will talk post show. Why BB is like a 'Kontiki tour,' who will win and who need Dr Phil at this point of the competition

Today on the podcast I have Masterchef Australia’s 'gorgeous Italiano' Aldo!

I have loved watching Aldo’s journey on Masterchef Australia. He cooked with a lot of heart and gave the competition everything. If he wasn’t crying we certainly were at home. He told stories about his life and shared cooking techniques that allowed us as audience to whole heartedly fall in love with him all over again.

It was sad to see him go as he went up against fellow Masterchef Australia favourites Billie and Julie. He did his best with a pressure test that included a vegetable in his words with no flavour.

We will talk about his husband and the choices they made for this return, we do discuss the crying, the sweat and thankfully not so much the blood and what he thinks needs to happen next for the reality show - which he loves unconditionally.
