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.

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 wit...

Montana has been dreaming on getting to the Masterchef Australia kitchen for a very long time. Just missing out when she was only 19 years of age. Not to let that get her down from that missed opportunity Montanan took to Tic Tok and has had views up in the millions.

However, it was a seafood plate that saw her packing but unlike the s...

Today on the podcast, I have Drew from Big Brother Australia 2022. Which is kind of freaky as I had just had Tully on the podcast and coincidentally Drew has become the next evictee! When the iconic housemates (Tully and Drew) left the Big Brother house in 2013 some BB viewers, who don’t have phones, instagram (living under a rock) might be forgiven for thinking these two walked off into the sunset and had instagram babies?

Tully entered Big Brother in 2013 and we have followed her story whether it was on social media, in the press or on her podcast 'Too Much Tully' - we have been fascinated with her storytelling. Tully said she would play the game...

Some intruders play a small game- they creep in, hook up with housemates and try to win over audiences with a loveable attitude. NOPE! Not this 'bish!' Jules made deals, played games and unfortunately got booted before all her plans were executed. With a best mate in Estelle and not always a clear flight path with both allianc...
