Have you ever wondered what it's like to live on a remote island for 55 days with a bunch of strangers, no food and no soap? We speak to Survivor contestant Peter Conte about life on the island and how he's holding up. Plus, why is everyone obsessed with the Norwegian drama Acquitted? Gemma has some ideas. And should we leave Big Little Lies and The Handmaid’s Tale alone and demand they don't make a sequel? Clare thinks so…. Show Notes This episode is hosted by Gemma Garkut and Clare Stephens Th...

Apparently all those safety harnesses were just for show and Sophie and Jarrod were in VERY REAL DANGER. But Miss Monk really impressed us on this date, while Jarrod might just be this season's Alex Nation *cue creepy stalker music.* We were almost giddy at James for emerging as a dark horse in a fat friar's get up, while Sam screwed up his chances royally by getting more excited about boobies than a twelve year old.

We learnt a lot about dating this week. Like, never give a girl roses when you could give her pizza. And please, PLEASE do not throw your knickers at someone you want to date. From the worst first impressions to the best, the Sophie Monk one-liners we're writing down for later and the international sign of a douchebag, Bach Chat discusses everything you were thinking during that glorious first night. THANK YOU Channel 10 for bringing this magnificent, savage goddess into our lives. Show notes To...

Bad news for anyone who is afraid of the dark, because horror is making a return to the small screen. If you felt a shiver up your spine this week, that’s because Aussie drama Glitch is back for second season. The show about the undead walking the earth caused quite a stir with its first season, and now we’re going to deep dive on where it goes next. And, move over Making A Murderer because there’s a new Netflix true crime obsession in town called Confession Tapes. But is this TV trend doing mor...

Yes, you read that correctly. Diana Trout (real name Miriam Shor) is on this podcast. And she is here with us to talk about all things Younger Season Four and some of her favourite memories from filming, like that time she broke a penis. But before we get into that interview, we had to unpack the season so far. From that final episode in Ireland to the ever changing Team Charles/ Team Josh dynamic - if you're feeling a little underwhelmed about how things ended, this one is for you. Show Notes T...

There were tears, fancy frocks, and proclamations of love. But there were two big, important things inexcusably missing from the finale of The Bachelor Australia: 1. We want the limos back and 2. WHERE THE HECK IS BABY NEPHEW GEORGE? We're legitimately weeping for poor Elise, but we must admit - that final scene between Matty and Laura was written in the stars... or, you know, two minutes into episode one.

There are a million ways to answer someone who says those three magical words. At the top of the hierarchy we have “I love you too.” And somewhere down the bottom, right near “thank you,” there’s Matty J. But while Elise will probably have her heart broken tomorrow night, it was ours that broke today as we said goodbye to a favourite. Join Bach Chat as we dissect the train metaphors and death-defying dates in the final hours of The Bachelor. Show notes Today's show was hosted by Zara McDonald an...

Lock up your roses and put your best cocktail dress on. We are mere days away from finding out who Matty J chooses to be his Bachelorette. But why have so many people tuned out of The Bachelor this year? Plus, Twin Peaks has finally wrapped up - and according to Laura it has changed the way that reboots are done forever. Even though we can’t work out what happened. And, all that McLeod’s Daughters revival talk seems to have paid off according to the show’s creator. But do we really need the once...

Move over Matty. There’s a new man in our lives and his name is Buster. Not only did we all fall in love with a three-legged dog this week, but we got to know the girls’ families. And we’re not sure we can say goodbye to any of them. Can we please be adopted into Elise’s family right now? There’s bogan dates. Windmills. Liars. Grotty beaches.

What’s it like being the most popular actress on Australian TV? Only one person in Australia can answer that at the moment and that person is Jessica Marais. So, lucky she is on the show. Plus, The Defenders is Netflix’s biggest success story of the year. And because Laura can’t stop telling us this we are going to let her talk about it. And do we know who Matty J ends up with already? According to the tabloids - we do. And Clare is not happy... Show Notes This episode is hosted by Laura Brodnik...

If your girlfriend tries to kiss you in front of your six other girlfriends should you (a) let her down gently or (b) pull her behind the curtains for a steamy pash? It turns out there are rules for these things, and Elora broke them. Tsk tsk. Another week, another group date that leaves us pondering whether we’re watching The Bachelor or Fear Factor. But the girls aren’t facing their fears of heights or spiders, it’s all about putting their hearts on the line. Yawn. Plus, is buying your lover a...

Offspring used to be the biggest show on Australian TV. But somewhere between The Bachelor and killing off Patrick, no one seems to care about the Proudman family anymore. So is it time for an Offspring revival or should the hit show end? We’ve heard a lot about Ray Donovan on Stan - but is it worth watching? There’s a new show coming soon that Laura thinks will be better than Stranger Things. Plus, The Katering Show girls are back with a brand new TV show and it’s everything we imagined and mor...

If you spent the Game of Thrones season seven finale on the edge of your seat holding back screams, then you have come to the right place. Because HOLY HELL SO MUCH HAPPENED AND WE DON’T KNOW WHERE TO START. All of our favorite characters came together at Kings Landing. There was a White Walker, a Clegane reunion and of course, Jon Snow proved he knew nothing. Meanwhile in Winterfell we learnt that sisters never cross each other. Especially when Littlefinger is involved. And then you know, there...

Can someone please tell Matty J that living in London for a few years does NOT make you cultured? Next thing he'll be telling us he met his first love on a Contiki tour. But on a more serious note - why are the producers so reluctant to let any of the girls leave the Bachie prison? Ahem, mansion... And are sporty girls a turn off?

Holy Mother of Dragons. The second last episode of season 7 of Game Of Thrones aired this week, and in true GOT style, it was epic. So what does a zombie dragon mean? And what about the hand holding with Jon and Daenerys? Plus the new season of Top Of The Lake has started, and according to Laura, it’s the best thing she has watched all year. The Kardashians are about to celebrate their 10 year anniversary, so how have they changed TV? And, was Netflix’s new show The Defenders worth the wait? Sho...

In case you didn't get the memo, Man Nipples = totally fine, but Lady Nipples = complete evil. Oh, and what is UP with Elora being the first contestant to get a second date? We're just not buying it, sorry. While we don't see her making it past the home visits, sassy Flo is becoming a front-runner in our eyes... especially because she cheats at every game she plays. As the women fall like flies, Bach Chat will keep you up to date on what's happening in that crazy mansion. Show notes Today's show...

It's the show that Australia didn't even know it needed. The Other Guy, Matt Okine's new show, is a raw, refreshing and tragic look at modern dating, and it breaks all the rules of network TV. We go behind the scenes with the breakout star, Harriet Dyer, who tells us exactly why it's so different. Will and Grace is the latest show to jump on the reboot bandwagon - but has the world moved on from the 90’s sitcom?

Can you believe we went an entire week without seeing a single boat? Is this even The Bachelor? Instead we took to the skies and discovered some of Matty J's dealbreakers. If you're afraid of heights, you're out. If you don't want to procreate, see ya later. Plus, out of 22 girls, is it possible that one or two might not be in love with Matty already?

Death, dragons, and damn, Daenerys. Game of Thrones Season 7 just seared through its most epic battle yet, before it melted our hearts with a family reunion. But was there a Stark plot warning amongst the fight scenes? Kylie Jenner's reality show has finally hit screens - we review it so you don't have to watch it. Hot lawyer drama Suits is dragging us through court for another season, but should this Netflix hit have removed itself from proceedings? There's a 90's Aussie drama that everyone mis...

In heartbreaking Bachie news, our Love Coach is now on the hunt for a new boyfriend (and probably a new job.) And could Matty have found his new (Georgia) love already?

Someone call Tina Fey, The Bachelor just ripped off Mean Girls. The 'posse' of plastics - Jen, Sian and Leah - are taking us back to high school. They've got their claws out and no one is safe. Not even Tahitian princess Elora. But could our very sweet and provincial Matty fall for an exotic French speaking goddess? Parlez vous huh? We guess that's a no.

We hope you packed your moist towelettes, this is going to be a dirty season. There's putrid dresses and even more putrid cat-fights. Yes, The Bachelor is back and it has brought with it some flame-throwing, ribbon twirling, grass-cutting women willing to fight to the death for Matty’s dangly bits. Who will get a rose? Who will Matty show his secret garden to? Who will get drunk and confess to a crime? We've already got ourselves a Georgia Love lookalike, an Insta-stalker and TWO mean girl villa...
