The juggernaut reality series is back on TVNZ+ and has switched up the format a bit. Girls AND boys mingling at the start? Levitating contestants? Turkey teeth? Jane and Alex dissect their first impressions of the show and the cast, and Duncan ponders a new set of gnashers on his upcoming trip to continental Europe. Also, there's another Bachelor baby on the way, Shortland Street is about to drop a massive three-night cliffhanger, and Below Deck Down Under is coming back!
