TV RELOAD

Featured guest Samatha Gash from Network Ten's Australian Survivor !

Samatha re entered the competition with her now husband Mark Wales and played a game of Blood vs Water with gusto, passion and determination. 

Outside of the game, Samantha is a social entrepreneur with heart, grit and intelligence. Affectionately nicknamed Sammy.

Her authentic storytelling bleeds a mission statement that has inspired millions and has won friendships with her philosophies on life. You spend a minute with Sammy and you immediate heard and involved.

We will talk about her time in the competition, the decisions she made, the flack she coped and the way in which she built lifelong friendships with the entire cast.

Featured Guest: TV presenter Andrew Winter. Who is currently celebrating 20 years in Television. As we eagerly await the launch of his latest series of Selling Houses Australia on Foxtel - it is hard to imagine this show has been on our screens for 14 seasons. 

Andrew is often described by the Media as ‘straight talking’ and he is known for cutting to the chase and actually saying what everyone else is avoiding when it comes to real estate. Owning his domain regarding the multiple facets of renovating, buying and selling properties. 

I mentioned Andrew was on the podcast today and one of my female friends declared she absolutely loves him and would watch repeats of Selling houses Australia or Love it or list it on the Lifestyle channel for days if she could. This is proof that Andrew is just as fascinating as the homes he takes on… 

Today we will go behind the scenes of the much loved show, finding out how the show is made, I will ask if he misses Shayna Blaze, what is in stall for this upcoming season and you might pick up some bonus tips along the way.

Synopsis: 

Featured guest Michelle who is the latest castaway to be eliminated from Channel Ten’s Australian Survivor.

Joining the popular reality TV companion themed 'Blood vs Water 'with her twin sister was not something Michele had foreseen in her future but with a slight twist of the arm - both twins took part in the 2022 competition and made it all the way to a rightful spot on the jury. I thought I wouldn’t get a chance to have such an open and honest conversation with Michelle because there has been so much said about her lack of screen time... I had worried it might be too controversial to ask about her take on the editing process but I was able to tackle those questions in a way where everyone was comfortable and to be honest my main concern was making Michelle comfortable with this interview. As I really respected her game play on the show. There are some really interesting insights in this chat and I loved every minute I had with Michele because there was an immediate warmth and honesty that made me realise - we could all do with some Mel and Michelle values in our life.

SYNOPSIS:

Featured guest Alexander Reid who is the latest "Reality TV sensation" from the Netflix Australia series 'Byron Baes!'

This show has been given more flack than any Australian made series on record. From the announcement to the launch, everyone can’t stop talking about the polarising nature of this Doco-Reality-Series set in Byron and centring around 'Influencers.' 

To say that you like this show publicly is almost "social suicide" but for me I am just going to wave my freak flag and say that it is a great snap shot at a world I don’t take too seriously and therefore I thoroughly enjoyed my binge of the first series made by Eureka Production.

In today's chat Alex gets his head around anything I can throw at him and I love his take on the show. We will talk about the countries hatred of both Byron and influencers, why he joined the show and if he has sexual chemistry with Jade Kevin Foster... his series nemesis

There is so much more to this chat and I hope you enjoy it.

Synopsis: 

Featured guest Jessie Hansen. Who is the latest eliminated castaway from Australian Survivor on Channel Ten.

This season has seen the competition tackling an age old debate - 'Blood vs Water' and when Jessie’s brother asked him to join him on the 2022 series - it was a no brainer for the Survivor enthusiast. 

However, in one of the biggest moves of the game, Jessie’s closest alliance Sam not only blindsiding him, which saw Jessie leave the competition but the knife certainly twisted when Sammy also swindled his idol at the same time.

What I expected from Jessie today was vengeance but I was surprised that he is leaving that kind of retaliation for the latest Batman film. 

Jessie talks his relationship with Sammy, where they are at now, what he thinks will be the fate of his brother and we get a sneak peak behind the scenes from the aftermath of Blood vs Water.

Featured guest Simone Holtznagle who is the latest recruit to leave SAS Australia on Channel Seven.

Over the last few episode’s of TV reload - you would have heard me reference my personal relationships with Angie Kent and Khan Ong and now with this episode it might seems like I must be pretending that I know everyone… I honestly don’t know everyone but a bizarre anomaly was that three of my friends left reality shows this week. And I got the privilege of talking to them about their experiences. So full disclaimer - I have known Simone for nearly 10 years - so we will share some of our history - especially with our mutual friend the late Charlotte Dawson. 

Simone became a household name in 2011 when she appeared on Next Top Model, she then went on to international acclaim gracing the cover of Playboy Magazine and also became a featured Guess Model - which is massive achievement for our girl from AUS - in later years you might have seen her on I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here. However, her post pandemic role in SAS Australia has us talking about her career, her friendship with Charlotte, that pepper Spray and some behind the scenes gossip from the show. 

I think you will love Simone’s honesty in the chat but I will offer a trigger warning, this episode does include the discussion of suicide and if that does provoke your own feelings of distress please call life Line on 13 11 14. ‘

Featured guest Khanh Ong who is the eleventh person to be eliminated from Australian Survivor 2022.

Channel Ten didn’t have to look far with this reality TV superstar, having competed in two seasons of Australian Masterchef and I don’t even think the producers at Endemol Shine Australia had any idea how great a player Kahn would prove to be.

While he won 60,000 dollars before being eliminated last night - Khan walked away with his head held high and a nick name commonly used to a super players, that being a King. 

We talk what the game would have looked like had his sister Amy survived a little longer, what he thinks about Sam not giving him 'the heads up,' a secret injury and who he thinks will win?

Featured guest Angie Kent who you might now as a darling reality TV. From Gogglebox to the jungle - from The bachelorette to the dance floor - there isn’t a network or production company that hasn’t hit her up for a job in the last few years.

Angie wears her heart on her sleeve and is one of the most relatable personalities on the TV circuit. I feel like we have only just seen the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what Angie is capable of. If you can’t get enough of the pint sized Queenslander with her presence on the telly you can catch her with best friend Yvie Jones on the popular weekly podcast Two Girls One Pod. 

Today we are talking Dancing with the stars which will see Angie return to the popular format. The Allstars juggernaut is on channel Seven Sunday nights at Seven Thirty and while I have been lucky enough to see this weeks episode ahead of this chat - I can’t recommend enough the chance to see Angie dance with Partner - as I am still bobbing to the moves and will no doubt be rewatching the episode when it goes live. 

We talk behind the scenes, future projects and all that is in between.

It may appear that I have become the Australian Survivor Podcast but I promise you - I have a great Married At First Sight coming up. Thanks to the team at Channel Nine and also a chat with one of the fallen SAS competitors competitors from Channel Seven but I have been lucky enough to get some time with Ben to discuss all the mess and mayhem from his time on Australian Survivor.

The 33 year old 'tradie' from Queensland will be remember for getting into some hot water with a mates blindside but for a lot of fans he will be remember for how hot he looked in a pair of speedo’s. Joining the show this his partner Shay - the pair have certainly oozed a lot love and respect for each other -which was evident on the show. 

We will find out what the couple have said behind closed doors, how he feels about his game play, whether he would ever return to Survivor and what he might have changed - if he had his time again.
