Ever had a celebrity encounter but not realised till after the fact? You won't believe who was in Alex' F45 class this week...

We discuss the infamous photo ranking challenge on MAFS and why Jordy believes that sometimes telling a lie is better than the truth. Alex reveals what really happens in the editing suites when post-producing episodes containing sensitive subjects and which contestant put the whole team of producers 'off' with his off remarks when it comes to ethnicity.

An interview with a Brisbane radio show has us reminiscing about "Couch time", which was, according to some, TV's lowest point, but that doesn't stop us from flogging the dead horse and pitching a reboot.

Of course, we can't end the ep without a LOL at the last week of MAFS, the batch!t contestants and the Reddit live thread that is possibly more entertaining than the first two combined.

In a delightful turn of events, Alex went viral last week after sharing her online dating history with Tim, the front runner for MAFS #1 villain in 2025. Keen to be known as more than just one of Tim's bitches, Alex reminded the internet that she's also an ex- post-producer WITH a podcast - and boy, did the people flock?!

We share (with permission) war stories sent in from women who have had the displeasure of encountering Tim, and Alex drops a bomb that Katie may not be as innocent as she appears.

Then, as promised, Jordy puts Alex in the hot seat and demands answers to a handful of the BTS questions we received throughout the week:

• Honeymoons: Who goes where and when?
• How many of the cast are approached in real life/social media?
• Is it true that the chaotic dinner parties take less time to film?
• Are the contestants contracted to attend dinner parties etc.?
• Who has had the best/worst edit and why?

Stay tuned for our next episode where we'll be delving deeper into the ethics (or lackthereofof) surrounding reality TV at large.

WE'RE BAAAAAAAAAAACK! And it seems we have some explaining to do...We know we kind of fell off the face of the earth at the end of last year, but hear us out okay? We had good reason! Or at least that's what we're telling ourselves.

We then get straight back on our bullshit, playing a good old fashion game of "Who's the Arsehole?" in the Justin Baldoni/Blake Lively/Ryan Reynolds saga. Is Ryan Reynolds a manic control freak? Will the case make it to court? Or will Justin Baldoni accept a healthy cheque and never speak of the matter again? Only time will tell...

Discussion turns to the devastating Los Angeles fires and the disturbing #EatTheRich mentality existing online, or perhaps not-so-rich when it comes to Spencer & Heidi Pratt.

We then discuss the Jerry Springer doco on Netflix, which explores the ethics (or lackthereof) involved in producing the landmark 90's talk show. We ask the big question: "Can you have a successful TV show that is both wholesome AND outrageous?" Alex also reveals some MAFS BTS juice on how a change in production and staff lead to a shift in tone (and overall success) of the show.

At this point, we're both a glass of Rose deep, but we vow to pause recording, watch the MAFS premiere & come back to debrief.

Listen to our unfiltered and slightly delirious take on the new batch of contestants who are clearly all there for the RIGHT REASONS and not to become influencers.
