Intro
SPEAKER_00This podcast was produced on the land of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. Welcome to Australia. Someone who is such a connoisseur of reality television. The content is hideous.
SPEAKER_02So sorry about this. Oh my god.
SPEAKER_00Frida, calm the fuck down.
SPEAKER_01It's because she's a Hollywood celebrity now.
SPEAKER_00I know. The fame's gone straight to her head.
SPEAKER_01She's such a D Vir.
SPEAKER_00She's like all over. You have to say for yourself.
SPEAKER_01Um, hi.
SPEAKER_00How you going, Cutie?
SPEAKER_01I'm good. How are you? Good. Wait, are we recording? Yeah. Oh. Hi. We're on. We're live in the stew. Frida just left because she knew that we were recording. She's such a good girl.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Oh no, she's gone to get her bone. And she's been chewing on. I wonder what Dr. Kate would have to say about that. She'd be like, no. Brush her teeth.
Dr Kate's Impact
SPEAKER_01What I learned is that the reason that we don't see you know how when we went to like walking to school you'd see white dog poo? Like that was a thing. Oh my god. So the reason we don't see what was that about? So because what makes dog poo white is apparently all the bones that they were eating, but we don't really feed our dog like lots of bones anymore, which is why their poo was not white. But no, Dr. Kate told me. That is we don't see white poo anymore. Yes, but it's absolutely correct. It's like the gum trees. The cum well no, I still pass them all the time. Yes.
SPEAKER_00Or no, the itchy bomb trees. What's that? Do you remember did you not have those on your school property? We probably just like we had one. It was a tree that had a small fruit that inside had like fluffy seeds and they were the world's itchiest thing. And so of course kids would put them down each other's fucking backs and stuff. Oh no, I went to a itchy bomb.
SPEAKER_01I went to a good school. I don't know where you we didn't do that in Q. Did you go to school?
SPEAKER_00That's just in Flemington, and yes, we did. We did do that. The other side of town. Oh my god. Um, so fucking much to discuss.
SPEAKER_01Big
Big Brother Australia is BACK!
SPEAKER_01weeks slash month in TV.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Where do we start? Let's should we just quickly start because I want to get out of the way. Big Brother Australia is back with with three episodes. Something like that. Something like that. Um in case you're wondering, yes, I am covering it. But over on Patreon. So go and have a listen over there. I've got absolutely that'll be every week starting later this week. But I love your high-level thoughts on the show so far.
SPEAKER_01So I watched the like first episode, the premiere.
SPEAKER_00Which was not live, which drove me insane. Yes. Because they get because they did this promo.
SPEAKER_01It was filmed as live, like there were no cuts or anything, but it but you're right, it wasn't live.
SPEAKER_00They should have been a live launch. That's my one.
SPEAKER_01It definitely felt live with all the shit going around. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Oh fucking shit.
SPEAKER_01That made me so sad. But Mel, like she did a great job.
SPEAKER_00I'm liking Mel because I'm not familiar with her whatsoever, but she's cute. She's so small. She's tiny. Because the housemates came up, and I was like, whoa. Like they're all so tall, but wow, what a huge man. And then I was like, no, no, she's just she's just fully tiny.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah, yeah. But she like to do all the things that were going wrong, like live with the rain and everything. Like, she has a teleprompter that she's hitting. She's got a script in her head that she has to meet. She's got her producer in her ear telling you you've got 45 seconds in and in and out. She's asking the questions that are scripted, and then she's also going off script because the rain, they're slipping. She'll she'll you know, feed off them, she'll feed off the audience, and she's still hitting her mark and time every time. Like, there are very few people in the country that actually can do what she did. Yeah. And she is like 31 or something. Very good.
SPEAKER_00And from what she've kind of they were, it's a bit touch and go there for a minute in terms of like they were literally like build, they were like painting the house.
SPEAKER_01Like up until like the last second. I'm not surprised. There will be like plumbing issues.
SPEAKER_00The house, we must address it, looks fucking shit house. Like it's very clearly a set. Whereas the old deck felt more as a house. I wouldn't have any of these issues except for the fact that for the last few months they've been ramming down our throats in marketing that they're going back to back to the original format. Yes. Don't tell us that and then not do a live launch and have a house that looks kind of shit. I don't know, I feel like a bit ripped off.
SPEAKER_01And the studio, well not the studio, but like where Mel was hosting, and there was just like 12 people like scattered about that she found off the street wearing Kmart ponchos.
SPEAKER_00Gold Coast, like local.
SPEAKER_01And half of them would have been like the crew. Yeah. So I was just, I don't I don't understand why. And I I guess they wanted that like drone shot of Dream World, because you got like the roller coaster and the wheel, and then you've got the house and the sweet, it's like they've built this house like literally just like on a piece of roller coaster.
SPEAKER_00Well, they would have been out the front of the fucking roller coaster.
SPEAKER_01But that's what they I yeah, I don't know if it was that close to the rides, but they they built so much last time. Like they had the house and they would walk from the like giant you know stadium or whatever.
SPEAKER_00They can't have any like wide shots because there's no fucking ceiling. But it used to be a ceiling.
SPEAKER_01Are you sure there used to be a ceiling?
SPEAKER_00Yes, one thousand percent.
SPEAKER_01So then how did they so why would they not do a ceiling? I mean, they don't do a ceiling because they have lights everywhere.
SPEAKER_00This year they're like, it's back to basics. But I yeah, it's pennies. I don't know. Look, look, look, overall loving it, loving the casting choices. Yes. Mainly because 10 is rage baiting the fuck out of us. Oh, yeah, with the 10. And we're all falling for it with the misogynistic guys, yeah, with the fucking Jane who's like a Trump supporter. That'll come out.
SPEAKER_01Is she the one that'll come out of 13th housemate?
SPEAKER_00Yep, that'll come out to James. And I felt for it with Jane. I voted for you, you fucking bitch.
SPEAKER_01That was also like so dog of Channel 10 to set the two up where I'm like, obviously Jane's gonna get in. There's no way.
SPEAKER_00Jane, who was like, I'm a crazy great, and then a guy whose personality was hard rubbish. Like sorry.
SPEAKER_01I was like crusty cumtail. That's he was uh There's no way you could like There's no way you could vote for him, and they even they didn't choose any grabs, like any any sound bites that showed anything with him, but with Jane, it was like, oh, she's obviously very likable, different, authentic.
SPEAKER_00But then I went online uh because friend of the pod, Stephen Wakefield, was like, you know she's a Trump supporter, right? And I was like, excuse me. And then a quick search of her even her channel 10 profile says Jane's a Trump supporter, but she's gonna keep it quiet from the housemates. I was like, wait, actually, excuse me? Really? It says it on her bio.
SPEAKER_01Well, that was obviously they they knew that like they wanted her to all do us. Yeah, because if they they knew that if they put that in the thing, no one would ever vote for her.
SPEAKER_00But it's the Big Brother UK method. We've talked about it on the pod with Ash. Like, they do this in the UK so well. They purposely get right wing people and have political arguments and woke people and put them together. And it's a great format. I just don't think they I think they've done a lot of the right wing people, but uh where's the where is the woke team? Yes, like I feel like Paul. No one's coming up against them. I feel like she has been put in as a triple diversity hire. Yes. Which feels a bit unfair. Yes. I would have liked a bit more.
SPEAKER_01Well, it's interesting the conservatives are way older than any of the like, you know, people that they think are gonna spar with them. Because I feel like it it's a bit unfair to get like a 22-year-old or a 21-year-old to think that they're just gonna get into some political argument with a 50-year-old, you know, man.
SPEAKER_00And even like the thing with Mia, with the two blokes being like, oh, they basically gasled her into believing that the gender pay gap is not real, which I was screaming. I was like, sorry, and she was so good. But I feel even for her, I'm like, she and fun fact, I know uh her brother. Oh yeah, cute, and get her on the pod. So shout out, hey guys, hey, um, I should get them on the pod. But uh yeah, and they're so so stoked she's on and everything. But like I feel like she's like she probably doesn't want to be doing no she wants to be in the house made just like having fun, like anyone. Yeah, she doesn't have to single-handedly like educate these stupid men. And also the face of feminism, and how awkward, because you can tell she's holding back because she's like, I don't want to be, I don't want to be like typecast as like a fucking angry black woman in week one, but you are really making it hard for her.
SPEAKER_01Also, like such responsibility to then be like, okay, am I gonna get into this conflict and then I have to like speak perfectly because it's being broadcasted around the world. Totally. Like it's it's a lot to put on like a early 20-year-old. It's a lot, yeah. Um, no uncut.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Well, we knew they weren't gonna do it. I know, but it's so sad because it's so sad because Colin, from what I can see, packing a fucking huge cock. And I wasn't.
SPEAKER_01I'm not surprised that you are aware of that.
SPEAKER_00I am in love with Colin. Oh, he's very sweet. He's he's winning, he's winning the game. 100%. When he cried on episode two, I was like, he's one.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Because they is it that it's old school where they will nominate three housemates and then Australia votes one out or or doesn't whichever votes to save or whatever.
SPEAKER_00They probably figured that out, depending on who gets nominated, I reckon. But Colin's never got two sets of like graphics ready to go, like to save or to evict based on who goes up, do you reckon? I think we don't know yet.
SPEAKER_01Oh, we don't know if it's save to evict. Yeah, right. Well anyway, Colin's winning, because like how else?
SPEAKER_00Well, I remember on previous seasons they even changed it halfway through.
SPEAKER_01Like this time now it's to save, and it's like girl because I people it was it was a very negative, I think, to vote to evict.
SPEAKER_00I think vote to yeah, and then you ended up losing all of the interesting characters. Yes. Because it was like, oh, because you felt something. Yeah. Whereas, yeah, vote to save is a way nicer way to hope they do that.
SPEAKER_01You l you lose the boring people.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Anyway, yeah. If you want more of that, head over to Patreon later this week or Apple subscriptions. Okay, talking about it. Um But we also need to talk about
The Celebrity Traitors UK Finale
SPEAKER_00Celebrity Traders UK. Now, wow. Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. Show of the fucking year.
SPEAKER_01Oh, oh, oh. And Alan Carr, like, best celebrity booking on any TV show ever. Like, on like it was just gold. And I love that it's come at a time where like I know now they've brought you know Australian traders back, which we can talk a little bit about.
SPEAKER_00Oh, and we saw two second glimpses of it in the 10 2026 promo. Gretel's hair looks amazing. Thank you to the gay that fixed the hair.
SPEAKER_01The promos I think they like slapped together like yeah, they had no that's what that's what always happens with the upfronts as well. They they never have any time, and then that like the day before they're like, fuck, we need something. Um but celebrity traders UK, like it it was the highest rated entertainment show on BBC for that whole year.
SPEAKER_0012 million people watched the finale live, which is in live, like people watching on their Melbourne.
SPEAKER_01Turned on the TV, like who does that anymore? And on iPlayer, which is their like you know, on-demand streaming, was the highest rated like entertainment show ever.
SPEAKER_00Apparently, it was on at every pub. I would have loved to have been in like a London pub watching it. Can you imagine? I was I mean I was with the guys, like, oh my god, we were screeching. Yeah, when Ellen, when they did I think the best moment of the whole season, and I've watched this clip so many times, is when they were like, Now just everyone say you're faithful, and Alan's like, I'm faithful, and starts laughing.
SPEAKER_01Oh my god. I died. That poor oh, it was so funny. Just watching his growth from like being petrified, covered in sweat when he's chosen as a trader to then winning the game. Oh, spoilers.
SPEAKER_00I thought if you haven't fucking seen it by now, what is wrong with you? Yeah, but also I thought there's no way in hell he was gonna win, right? No, that second last episode was genius because you leave it thinking, oh yeah, he's done for. Yes. But then Nick, bless him. Voted Joe. Voted Joe, which was, but do you know what? Perfect.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I'm so thrilled about the ending. But I was I thought like Alan could win if like Kat took him to the end. Yeah. But then when they voted out Kate, and you're right, going into that last episode, I was like, wow. Yeah, because there's only one woman left, and it's like I don't think anyone's gonna like no one's gonna think that the BBC, public broadcaster, chose three men to be their traitors. Yeah, like obviously the final woman, you're like, okay, well, obviously it's Kat.
SPEAKER_00Fantastic as well. She was great, really. What a great phone. Like to balance out everyone else's energy. Yep. Um, love her like weaponizing her like energy. That was amazing. Like just genius move to future players of the game. Yeah. Do that.
SPEAKER_01But to like be up against, you know, Jonathan Ross and Alan Carts, probably two actually the two biggest personalities, maybe Stephen Fry, like of the entire season. I mean, you know, for her as this 25-year-old singer that I would say most people watching have not heard of, yeah, yeah, yeah. To go up against to hold her own. Is it good? I think I heard one song the other day and I remember liking it. Oh, great. Yeah. What kind of genre? Oh, don't I can't remember. Anyway, yeah, something like that.
SPEAKER_00She's a she a pop girly. I can't pick honestly, she didn't give performer because she wasn't like crazy confident or anything, but I loved that. Because she was so young, I think. And then Paloma Faith at the reunion was amazing. I didn't know. Her finally I think she realized that she didn't want to look like a sore loser, so she kind of like Oh, you should watch the reunion, it was really good.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, no, I've seen like lots of clips online of of um when the faithfuls, after they've been voted out, find out who the track is. Those were great. Those were great. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00That needs to be I mean, I get they need extra content, but I would love that to be worked into the show somehow. Yes, but I agree. It's also a perfect thing to do as an add-on.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, it just adds, I guess, extra time in the episode.
SPEAKER_00But the format's flexible, they can do whatever they want. Oh, can't wait. I'm already so excited about the next time I do this, which is obviously happening sooner rather than later. Yes. And I want Gemma Collins in there. I want Katie Price. I want Sam Campbell.
SPEAKER_01You what I think is is good is that clearly they were able to get the bit like Stephen Fry doing a competition reality show. Sorry, what? Crazy.
SPEAKER_00He's just he's just given it this huge credit. Like he's like authenticated it, like he's basically told a whole demographic of people that it's okay for you to watch this show.
SPEAKER_01Exactly. And now I think a lot of the people, particularly you know, someone like Jonathan, yeah, they were clearly huge fans of the traders, and that's why they've gone on. So now I think the UK is just going to be full of these like really interesting, great characters, great celebrities who are gonna want to be.
SPEAKER_00Echelons of people they're gonna get. Oh crazy. Speaking of echelons, yeah, uh, last
All's Fair?
SPEAKER_00thing I want to talk about before we get into Aussie Shaw, which we are here to talk about today. At some point, uh, is Ryan Murphy all's fair. Okay. Have you fucked with it yet?
SPEAKER_01So I watched the first 15 minutes and I I will watch about as much as I've seen as well.
SPEAKER_00Okay, great. And I was, I'm not joking, I was in that 15 minutes screaming. It's like I was like, what is this? The way they just start, and it's like bang. I'm the greatest lawyer. Oh, remember when remember when we started our own law form? I'm like, sorry, this is no place to start this.
SPEAKER_01I don't understand like she's an all jazz done. She's having a violent zoomies.
SPEAKER_00Ryan Murphy is her fucking trigger.
SPEAKER_01She's all she's like the blah. But I it was so poorly written. Like, but it wasn't even in the sense like, like, have you seen Scream Queens? Yes, love that. So exactly. So that's what I think. Like, were they trying to cleaning in? Exactly. Very camp, very silly, but not bad. It's all very intentional. Um, I don't mind.
SPEAKER_00You keep going, I need to do this because she needs to learn.
SPEAKER_01Oh, you're spraying her?
SPEAKER_00No, the thread of the spray. Uh we don't condone animal violence.
SPEAKER_01Listening, Frida will be goring at my hands, which I was fine with. Oh, and then Sam's got the spray bottle. And she was just sprayed. We've had a doggy assault live on camera. Oh, she's pissed. She's pissed. Just going straight for your jugular now.
unknownCome here. Oh my god.
SPEAKER_01Anyway, she's changed since she's been on TV.
SPEAKER_00She fuck.
SPEAKER_01She's a fucking demon. Yeah, has she got an agent yet? Yep. Hi, Queen.
SPEAKER_00Sorry. Ryan Murphy. Oh, Ryan Murphy. And his guy is.
SPEAKER_01Well, no, so so Screen Queens was like, it was good writing, good acting, extremely silly and camp. What's her name? Emma Roberts. Emma Roberts. Fuck brilliant. Love Emma Roberts. So All's Fair does not hit that.
unknownNo.
SPEAKER_00Do you know why? Kim Kardashian and Chris Jenna are executive producers. I know why.
SPEAKER_01But the but like those type there are okay, I saw there are 16 executive producers on this show, but about one of them did an actual job.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Um But those two are No, yeah, but they they they would have had no input. All it would have been is like Kim Kardashian say, I'll come on as long as me and Mum are EPs.
SPEAKER_00And uh And then they've just pulled in everyone awesome.
SPEAKER_01And because they're all EPs, you know, yeah, Glenn Close is an EP, Sarah Paulson's an EP, but none of them actually do anything, they're just actors. It's bad.
SPEAKER_00But yeah, but I will I will watch it only because I mean it's me. And it's and it's terrible. You have to watch it. I have to watch it.
SPEAKER_01You've watched worst things.
SPEAKER_00Oh, absolutely.
SPEAKER_01Did you watch American Horror Story with Kim Kardashian?
SPEAKER_00No, that's when I I dropped off by then.
SPEAKER_01So I yeah, I still watch everything else. I'm watching the monster one.
SPEAKER_00The monster ones are good. Yeah. But like I think he's I think he peaked at Versace. That was that was fucking good. And then everything after that, I'm like, girl, just.
SPEAKER_01Oh, did you like the um the latest monster the the with the twins, the Menendez product? Loved that. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Loved all of the penis that we saw in there.
SPEAKER_01There was a lot of that. Yeah, apparently real, like not prosthetic. I like how I'm telling you as if you didn't already know.
SPEAKER_00We were on the same forum. Um, yeah, but can't wait to watch it all and just uh like a good hate watch. How what a little Christmas has come early.
SPEAKER_01I do like seeing a show that looks very expensive and polished. Same.
SPEAKER_00Uh polished is probably not the right word, but and the filters in that first episode. Glenn Close's face, I was like, what's with the special effects? Yeah. Also, side note but Glenn Close looks exactly like my dad. It looks like my dad in a wig. Like I'll show you a photo of my dad later and you will be like, wow, work. Yeah. She's got we we've got the the chin, the chin, the nose, yeah, the schnazz and chin combo. Okay. Anyway. Right. Kind of like crowy. Oh, that's alright. We'll race through it.
Aussie Shore S02E07 Recap
SPEAKER_00Not gonna lie, this week on Aussie Shaw. Little bit of a filler ep. Yeah. Didn't you say?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yes. I usually get good eps when I No, look, every every ep of Aussie Shaw, I think, is actually really good. They're all good. So I had never watched it before. And I was I hadn't really watched Geordie Shaw or Jersey Shaw before you were.
SPEAKER_00No, see, I never fucked with those either. Yeah. Because I feel like they were and hear me out, back to nostalgia. Yes. If you had Foxtel growing up, I feel like it was a show that you had watched because you had MTV, right? But I did not come from a Foxtel household. So to me, Jersey Shaw was this really like naughty show. Yes, only the rich kids with Foxtel would talk about. Right. Do you know I remember that? Yes.
SPEAKER_01Well, I mean, I guess I was one of those rich kids with Foxtail. But I never But I never no, but I I I never actually I had seen a bit of Jersey Shaw, but I wasn't, yeah, no, I wasn't a I wasn't a huge fan.
SPEAKER_00And when I heard about Aussie Shore, I was like, oh god, like it's another one it's another Australian reality show China Plus need to watch themselves because all they seem to fucking do is pluck formats. Yes. Like I'm sorry, but The Office Australia, which I could have told you. Yeah. Ghosts. Yeah. Ghosts. Can you hire just one writer? I don't know. Crazy idea. Just thinking out loud here.
SPEAKER_01It's take a risk on a new show. Yeah, no. Well, look, so Aussie Shaw was, I believe, a co-production between Paramount Plus and CBS or something. Anyway. But I th but so yeah, so they so they did the cans film board. They did that with a real Love Boat as well, where they like essentially split the production costs. Yes. So that was a co-pro with the American.
SPEAKER_00Oh. Well, no, as in Korea. Sorry. Actually, I love you. I did not watch it. No, neither. But I just remember I remember those promos, girl. Ten were push and shit up.
SPEAKER_01Oh, yeah, yeah, because I spent a lot of money. But Aussie Shore I thought was just going to be another one like made in Bondi, you know, where it's just we're trying to copy American formats. But it was Terrible, wasn't it? But like in a boring way, not in an Aussie Shaw way. Aussie Shaw, I think, is like very engaging.
SPEAKER_00Oh no, no, no. It's it's it's completely different from Aussie Shaw. It was boring as fuck, but it was so awkward that it was delicious.
SPEAKER_01So I think you're the only person in the world that I think would enjoy you, but you thrive off terrible shows that are cringe. I mean that's the name of the part. Um where like I do still want it to be like interesting. I wanted the hate experience to be pleasurable. Like Aussie Shaw when they're fucking, when they're fighting and all of that, it feels very real. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Even when they handpick Manaki a hot gay that was absolutely not hanging out in that club.
SPEAKER_01I'm sorry. I don't understand how they get people like these people in the club who are then just like, yeah, sure, I'll just like go back to the Aussie Shaw house on camera and I'll exactly I'll put a mic on, I'll sign a one. How many beers in? Yeah. Amazing. I don't know how that works because they have to go through a lot of like legal stuff. Because they they they with Love Island, for example, like they have people watching on cams and like before they have sex will stop them to be like, Do you consent to this? So I'm I'm sure they're I'm not laughing at consent.
SPEAKER_00I'm laughing at that person at that being a job.
SPEAKER_01Oh yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, wow, so they really do that.
SPEAKER_01They will they have to be really coordinate. They do they they kind of do because they don't want if they have sexual assault, they're essentially employers. Um so I don't see how they find all these strangers, but no, Aussie Sharai think it's is is works very well because they're like they've done such a great job with casting. So good.
SPEAKER_00I actually want to hang out with these people.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, like I would hang out with these people.
SPEAKER_00I wouldn't last oh, I wouldn't last a minute, but I still want to do it. Right as opposed to yeah, the cast of Maine and Mondo who were just annoying Braddy influences and these people are these are genuine people, 100%. They're really like self-assured, sex positive. They're exhibitionists. Yes, I love it.
SPEAKER_01It's great producing and editing and everything, but but like to have them in a in a interview and then suddenly one of them just like farts or burps, yeah. You know, like that's great to leave that in because it makes it feel so real and authentic, but then also like the people the fanny fart, it's like they're people that would like actually do that. They're not gonna fart on camera unless they would want to do that anyway. It just it it feels like it's not pretending to be an American show, it's just very Aussie, it's just Aussie, it's doing what it is.
SPEAKER_00Perfect location. I can't say I've gone party pink hands. See, I have, and it is it's uh it's a party town. It is a party town, but it is a heterosexual party town.
SPEAKER_01Well, indeed, yes.
SPEAKER_00I don't know how Monarchy has done this, and he's doing a great job of pretending like he's everything is fine. And I'm like, girl, you are a queer person of colour in Queensland. Yeah, blink if you need help. Do you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_01Only partying with straight people. Girl. It sounds like my living nightmare to go straight clubbing in Queensland to I would actually shoot me in the face.
SPEAKER_00Next week it looks like uh old Carl's back. Let's start the app. It's called Emergency Meeting, it's episode seven. Kind of like what we're doing now. Yeah, it totally. And it starts with a flashback to Lily's iconic chair throw. Yes. So she was like, get this fucking can't get this, no tits, no ass, bitch out of here. When she got it, no tits starts. I was like, oh Mike Lily, just because you have incredible tits doesn't mean you can tit shame everyone else. Are they real? I don't know.
SPEAKER_01They look but she's so young. I forget how young, like, okay, not going back to Big Brother, but do you remember when like we'd watch this show and be like, oh my god, they're so old. And then now you realize that they were just like 22 and they're literal children. Yeah. This is how I feel watching Aussie Shaw, where I'm like, uh, it comes up with eight, they're literally like 22, 21. Yeah, they're on school, and they're talking about like, I remember in school when you did this. I was like, that was last year. Yeah, totally.
SPEAKER_00Anyway, no, absolutely. Lily uh wakes up the next day. Oh, so also I was shook that she was in the house, like when they woke up. I thought they were gonna be like over at a hotel around the corner. He's because she was like violent, no? Take her out of like they really should have put her up in a hotel. I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_01Well, they probably just like well, it was so good watching her like leave the fence, and then you see all the production hub, like with the tents and the computers and all the crew and everything. Yeah. Um, so clearly she was just like chilling there for hours, and then they like they probably just gave her a tank dart. They were like, they just like a social producer in the bushes with a blow dart of ketamine therapy all over again.
SPEAKER_00Uh she is in the house, which I was like, okay, she's still there. And she's not at all in any way apologetic or remorseful for her baby. She's just like, yeah, that fucking bitch was going me.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, obviously, I had to throw a chair at him. That's a normal thing to do. Yeah. Um, but they were all turned on her. Like they they no one was on her side, even before her like fake apologies and stuff. Like, she's kind of the worst. Yes, I don't know how like so much fun watching TV. Very hot. I mean, sure, I don't yeah, look, none of them are for me.
SPEAKER_00Um not even Chesco?
SPEAKER_01I mean, like, no, they're all like attractive, yeah, yeah. But they're just I look at them and them just like they're they're heterosexual children. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Which I know you love.
SPEAKER_00Uh Cardi R, messy fucking bitch that I love. She's like, I loved last night. She's like, that chair throat? How creative. So funny. She's so good. She's the best line. Her and non as tits that not the tits nonna paid for, everything. Uh she does give good lines.
SPEAKER_01Was she like the main character in the season one?
SPEAKER_00Uh no, fucking Lily was. Yeah, of course. Of course. Oxygen stealer.
SPEAKER_01Well, I guess it's like she can do the girl thing, she can like always will find the nearest boy and then be so jealous. Me all over again. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Uh Lily's very unapologetic and defensive, which Connie's like, are you serious? Um she's like, I didn't even give a fuck about what happened. I'm like, girl, you are spiralling on the inside.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, and I'm I'm I'm like, I do wonder what the Well, because they brought Charlotte in, right? Charlotte!
SPEAKER_00Charlotte! Yeah, Charlotte. Well, they've got uh so Manaki, he's upset that he's had a chair thrown at him, but I also love that he's like, oh, but I gotta root. Like he's he's how he's equal parts. He's fine. He's so funny. Yeah. I love that he's just like, I want to fuck. He's like, these guys are all doing it. I want some. So good. Do you think he's gonna be like that on the traders? What fucking? Yeah. Who's he gonna fuck in the traitors house?
SPEAKER_01Or I don't know. Literally no one. Yeah there's there's not a lot of eye candy for you in the traders.
SPEAKER_00No, there's Lawson from Maiden Bondi. Right, yeah. So he has ended up. You would be the only person in Australia who recognizes people people will recognise him, but not from that show from Instagram. Oh, okay. He's like he's not for me, but he's like objectively good looking. Sure. But no, you're right, there's no eye candy. Isn't that a shame?
SPEAKER_01I mean, that's fine. It's the traders. Anyway, but Minaki, he's great, great casting, and traders.
SPEAKER_00Have you got a root? Charlotte rocks up, she's like, oh, there's been a rule breach.
SPEAKER_01What do you make of Charlotte's role this season? Well, she she what does she make of it? She's already given up. I thought, like, when we we saw like an interview with her in in one of the earlier episodes, and then clearly I was like, oh, so they obviously didn't fly her out. They're just like they filmed a couple of they filmed a bunch of interviews after the season's aired to get her to say a bunch of lines to make it look like she's you know involved. But then they actually then she's there. Was she in season one? Was she in it much?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, she was there more, she didn't do it the working from home thing, she was there like the whole time. Right. From the start. But the same role. Yeah. Just like I'm angry, get back to work. Do you think we need that? No. I think they just wanted a familiar I think they wanted to bridge from the beloved franchise.
SPEAKER_01So do you think fans of Geordie Shaw will tune in because I think that's what they're hoping. Right. I don't know if they actually will. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00She just like had a kid and stuff. It's not like the same. Do you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_01It's it because Geordie Shaw when she was on it's like a decade ago.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, like it's Oh, it's giving like Degrassi next generation. Do you know what I mean? I think put her to bed. Yeah, no, I don't mind Charlotte. Who I didn't like was Callum, who was in he was at the boat party episode. Oh, yes. He was a character like last season. Yeah, but they didn't bring him back. No, but like again, they just bought him into like flirt with the girls. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I I don't like he does nothing for me.
SPEAKER_01There's a f a few men that weren't uh returned.
SPEAKER_00Yes, so the other one was Tom, who yeah, that's the whole thing. No wonder he didn't want to come back. He he was like the center of the drama. I mean, not really. Lily was the villain, but like he was.
SPEAKER_01But in Lily's mind, it's like she was traumatized by him.
SPEAKER_00Which every time she says that, I'm like, girl, it was filmed. Like you receipts. Yeah, yeah. Anyway, poor guy. I think he's back in Bendigo or wherever the fuck he was from. So he was cute. I think you would have liked him. Yeah. Okay. I'll watch. Um where are we? Alright, so Charlotte's like you've broken the rules. Um but then she sits down with Lily and she's like, Bib. I can totally relate. But it's unacceptable behaviour. And then um Lily's like, nah, I can't. She goes, I've got PTSD from Tom. Girl.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00No. So she has to throw chairs. Charlotte's like, Alright, babe, but we're gonna have to get you to apologize. And Charlotte's like, great. And she's like, I'm not fucking doing it. She goes, I but I she goes, I don't believe in apologizing. She's just against it.
SPEAKER_01But I thought Charlotte was quite she she's good.
SPEAKER_00She did good here.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, she was she really like felt like was able to speak to her like in a relatable way. I can imagine like pr her little listening to the producers and just being like, fuck off. Where they were like, Alright, we need Charlotte. No one else is no one else can level with this crazy bitch.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, yeah, no, it was nice. I'm just like apologizing is so whatever. Like, you know, you can just like fake it up, girl. Come on.
SPEAKER_01It's just like it's also unnecessary. I don't know, like I feel like the way that Monarchy as well was saying it, having a chair thrown at them and screaming is just so normal to them.
SPEAKER_00Well, that's why I'm a bit like yeah, I I don't know. It felt weird that she was just still there and everything. I guess they they can't lose her from the show. She is the drawing.
SPEAKER_01No, she's the main character. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, and I think that's why they made it. They probably did make a thing to show that Monarchy was like fine with everything that happened, so we don't have to feel bad.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Then uh enter Gina, their boss for the day, because of course they've got to go to work. Yeah, Gina was Gina was the star of this episode.
SPEAKER_01Wait, is she the fake tan? Yes.
SPEAKER_00So then they're like, Your job is spray tents, and obviously I'm glad they finally gave something for poor old Rhee. Because Rhee's been on the show, she's been not having a good time. No, and I'm glad they I'm glad they were like, Ray, this one's for you.
SPEAKER_01Yes, and they they started it with having that chat with Charlotte, right? You're really like, hey girl, like let's let's get into it.
SPEAKER_00Literally, are you okay? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, loving the mental health um the check-ins on this show, yeah.
SPEAKER_01The the duty of care is just so moving.
SPEAKER_00But exactly. But spray tans, I mean speaking of side note, I've been watching Dating Naked, UK. No, I haven't seen it. Amazing. Yeah, but fully uncensored. How much pain? You see everything. Do we see erect pain? You see some SEMs. It's great though, and they have this disclaimer at the end of every episode, yeah. And it says Um But there were mental health professionals on site that looked after the contestants, which I'm like, cute. Okay, and then under that it goes, and there were strict hygiene practices. So many people must have ridden being like, Yeah, do they just sit on the couch?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, but then like sharing, yeah, just like feces everywhere.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, so that that is addressed. And I was like, these are the best disclaimers ever. It's like mental health and hygiene.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, certainly not on this show. No, no hygiene or mental health.
SPEAKER_00The house is disgusted. I don't get it. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Anyway, I feel so old watching this.
SPEAKER_00Same. Lockie fucking can't deal. Sharp has heard about San Fran's instant hard-ons, which I was like, tell me more about than this.
SPEAKER_01Uh how many inches are we? Yeah. Oh.
SPEAKER_00What are you saying? Well, it was described as thick by um Jada.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, but I got a feel. But I like never trust like women. You know, don't believe women.
SPEAKER_00No, I know what you mean. I have like girlfriends of mine when they've been like, oh, here's like a pick of my like husband's dick or whatever. I'm like, yeah, you thanks for it. And they're like, isn't it huge? And I'll be like, It's literally coverage. Yeah, it's fine. But they don't see as many as we do.
SPEAKER_01No, yeah. I mean, I've only seen one. What are you talking about? I know. Yeah, because you're saving yourself a marriage.
SPEAKER_00Just like my pioneer ancestors. Uh then Gina, so Gina's amazing. Yeah. And I love Gina, it's just like there in the house still. There's this awkward period where they're just hanging around. And they're oh no, they're in the car, sorry. And San Fran's like talking about how old Charlotte is. Yes. Which yes made me feel in a compliment way. Yeah, but it was still a bit like awful. And then she's like, I'm 34. And then Gina in the backseat goes, I'm 42. And it's like, thanks, Gina. Thank you. No one did ask.
SPEAKER_01She's auditioning as Charlotte's role next year.
SPEAKER_00I don't know why I got stuck out of it. I thought she's her hair was so Queensland, I died.
SPEAKER_01It's like those housewives episodes where they've clearly brought in like someone that they're kind of auditioning to potentially be in the next cast.
SPEAKER_00But look, put her on.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Well, they brought back the retirees from the aged care home. So Oh really? Yeah, they were from season one.
SPEAKER_01Oh, right. But last time they went to them. Okay. I like tuned out of that.
SPEAKER_00Then, cut two. Not only are they doing spray tans, they're just spray tanning drag queens. Which I was like. Who came up with that? Pay rise. Just amazing. But also these were a random story idea. I know, but they were rough. Yes. Queenslanders fuck drag queens. They all looked like truck drivers. Do you think?
SPEAKER_01I wonder where they found them. Were they famous? I can't say I'm tuned into the Queensland.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. I was they are now. They were so good. Yeah, they were good sports. Good sports. Of course, San Fran stray plate. I feel like straight men like they just want to know what it like. Yeah. They're obsessed with boots. Everyone wants to have a day with just big tits, right? How fun. You get to know what it feels like to be Lily.
SPEAKER_01Honestly, he that that did also remind me of how young he is because he looks like a little boy for dress-ups. He was a boy. Hong Kong, yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00His mum cuts his smallet for him, which is just my heart. Uh puts it in the middle.
SPEAKER_01But everyone got around it, and I love Rhee, was obviously stealing some fake tan for herself. Yeah. Blessed. She got she got a bit of content.
SPEAKER_00I like Sam Fran flirting with the drag queens as well, but like not very well. He's just like, oh yeah. His idea of flirting was like, I'm not gonna bash ya.
SPEAKER_01It would work on me. I got a little semi just thinking about it.
SPEAKER_00But he was like, You look beautiful, you look amazing. I was like, Don't lie. Don't lie to these old men.
SPEAKER_01What was more uh I found more arousing was in a previous episode when he was talking to Manaki asking about like how gay sex works. That was hot.
SPEAKER_00Because he was like, Oh, but so what but also you'd never thought about what that was?
SPEAKER_01He's never met a gay person that he can ask. Yeah, it's like what do you that's how do you put it in? Yeah, but also love that that curiosity.
SPEAKER_00Exactly. I was like, oh show. What else are you curious about? We could do it right now if you want. Where's the fan fiction? Monaki is the abbeola of this house, like carrying all of the weight of the diversity for these fucking white people. Like, oh my god. Uh Gina, joiner. Yeah, she's still of course, yeah. She's an important role now. She's the judge. She's the one that decides if the spray tans were acceptable or not. Uh-huh. I loved this. And she's like the edge of my seat. I was like, I wonder what's gonna happen. And she goes, the the votes are in, I can confirm. You guys bloody nailed it. Yeah, Joina, tick of approval, and they're like, whoa. So this was a nice little feel-good moment. Yeah. We needed this.
SPEAKER_01What do they actually get when they do a good job at work or not? Like, is there any actual That never happens, so I don't know. So the premise of the show, which I know I'm not meant to think about, and I know we don't often get bugged down with things like that on this pod. But it did confuse me a little bit jumping into season two, not having seen season one, which I'm sure they explain it. But they just they're No, they absolutely don't. But and they just like randomly.
SPEAKER_00Just like we're here to have the summer of our lives or something.
SPEAKER_01But now we have to work. Yeah. Yeah, it's like the boyfriend where they had the random like cafe job.
SPEAKER_00But the way that those Japanese people take that work so seriously. Oh, yeah. They are they are like doing barista they actually did like a barista course. Yeah at the start of the show.
SPEAKER_01It was so beautiful.
SPEAKER_00It was, but it was also like quite different. I was like, I don't want to watch people fucking call it.
SPEAKER_01I know, unless they're fucking in the cafe truck. Season two. So excited. So excited. Have me on, please.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, we're doing it. Oh, great. We are doing it.
SPEAKER_01So they did well at the tanning, and that means nothing, just that they get to celebrate.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_01Like there's nothing. It's not like they get extra money for food or something like that.
SPEAKER_00They don't get Charlotte going, Oh, I've had it with the lawyers. They don't get that, which is a reward in itself.
SPEAKER_01And I guess that's why they like uh love Charlotte so much. They're just they're they're hoping for her approval at every moment of their life.
SPEAKER_00She's a mentor.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. And she naturally does feel like that. Like, yeah, she's very good with them, and she is obviously. One of her eyes doesn't quite like it's gone a bit lazy, has it?
SPEAKER_00It's gone a bit, I don't know, I think the all the fillers and shit of like one arm doesn't quite line up at times.
SPEAKER_01I'll have to keep an eye out. I must admit, it's sometimes when Charlotte's on, like it's not because she's boring, but she only comes on in the boring scenes. Like obviously, I'm interested in when they're like drunk fighting, when they're fucking, all of that. Like Charlotte's nowhere to be seen in any of those scenes.
SPEAKER_00Well, she's about to get the fuck out of there forever, so you don't have much longer of her. Back at the house, Loki is trying to school Lily on not being a shit cunt. But she's good luck. Yeah, right. Honestly, like barking up the wrong trait. Yeah. But she just can't do it. She just will not it's like she's like, oh be the bigger person. Boring. She's like boring, but why when I could just be a cunt. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01But also like, do love her. Love. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Love her, love.
SPEAKER_01Like that's what I think is great. Like, even when these people are being so horrid or immature or whatever, not once am I like get them off my screen.
SPEAKER_00Never.
SPEAKER_01Where in other shows when the villain or whatever are like that, I'm like, I actually am not enjoying watching you right now. Where I've never felt that about any of that.
SPEAKER_00That's how I can I be real, and it's why I think I'm gonna struggle with all's fair, but that's how I feel like Kim K. When she's on my screen, I'm literally like, uh Yeah, it takes I feel dirty. I don't know, I don't it's and not even in I don't have that like parasocial like interest in her life. I just I don't find her interesting at all.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I don't I don't I don't watch all so forced, it's so guarded. I don't know, like she's the main character.
SPEAKER_00No, it just her face is like a sponsored post. Do you know what I mean? Like it feels like advertising.
SPEAKER_01She'll smile at you and you're like, you're selling me ginger tea, relaxatives, yeah.
SPEAKER_00Oh uh Lockie tries to pay me in here. Can we just talk about how annoying Lockie has gotten?
SPEAKER_01Yes. Like although I I I'm I'm a bit of a clean freak, so I'm kind of on his side.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, I mean, yes, it would drive me nuts.
SPEAKER_01He's the one I find least attractive, thoroughly. Same. Oh, right.
SPEAKER_00I would have thought you'd be into him. I'm so happy. Hard on Sam Fran, and that is about it. Oh, and I think Con is very cute too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And Manaki's beautiful, but too sort of hairless and twinky for me. Yeah. Too shiny for me. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Like a little rough around the edges, which is why I thought No, no, I like I like the thick boy energy from Sam Fran. Loki's too like, especially how aggressive he gets in these last two episodes. What a turn off.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. And not and and petty. It's a little scary when she starts yelling. When a woman yells, I'm like, Queen. When a woman yells, it's like, whoo!
SPEAKER_00Yeah, throw that chair. Go up, Diva. Go off. Lucky does I was like, oh. Call the cops. Oh no, no, no. Get this out of here. Get him out. Get him in the hotel next door.
SPEAKER_01Lily can stay in the house. In the tent. No, I was scared. But though I would also I probably wouldn't be going at it as aggressive as he is, but I am on his side in terms of clean up your shit. Like that house, like if there's if there is like food, it was booking one of yours.
SPEAKER_00But if there's like food with like flies everywhere, then honestly that is still as fucking gross as somewhere. Yeah, so Monaki's like uh Lily can get fucked if she doesn't apologize. And then they do this mediation thing, and it's a bit of a disaster. She's like surprise, surprise. Yeah, because of course her version of apology is look, I'm sorry, but I'm still learning. She says, I'm still learning to handle my emotions. I'm like, are you a minute? What are we talking about?
SPEAKER_01Like, what are you talking about? So, like, I'm just gonna have to throw chairs at you. It's kind of and you're gonna have to deal with it. And I'm sorry if it sometimes hits you in the face.
SPEAKER_00Pretty much, but then finally she does. I don't know, probably someone off camera was like, Alright, doll. We need to move past it. Legally, we need an apologically.
SPEAKER_01But in her interview, she's just like, I didn't mean it.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, which I was like, oh yeah. She's but also how dangerous that now she has learnt to fake apologize, watch out, world. Like she will never be sincere again. Exactly. At least before she was just not apologizing. Yeah. Now she's out there on the streets.
SPEAKER_01Lock up your sons. She's she's learned yet another way of how to get away.
SPEAKER_00Queen! Queen! Truly. Oh, yeah. If I was born a woman, I would be literally like I'd be such a fucking piece of work.
SPEAKER_01I actually really see that. Yeah. Fully insufferable. Giant tit. Huge tits.
SPEAKER_00Sleep him with everyone. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Giant. So Manaki's like, alright, he for the greater good moves on, but he's like, bitch. I've remembered, you know, we're not gonna be forgive, not forget.
SPEAKER_01Not gonna be near any more chairs around you.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, safety reasons. And then she also has to apologise to Cardi Hardy Cardi, which she struggles with. I don't know, fucking no. But she tells us in confessional that that one was fake. Yes. So I'm like, whoa. Yeah. Uh what a little actress. Then Lexi says, Lexi is still on the show, by the way.
SPEAKER_01I know. And look, I occasionally she gives really fun interview grabs.
SPEAKER_00She was great, she was a late arrival in season one. Oh and it like spiced everything up. Oh, interesting. She's bisexual then and single.
SPEAKER_01Right. So she was for whereas now she is a lesbian in a relationship.
SPEAKER_00She's the you-haul fucking lesbian.
SPEAKER_01But I yeah, classic. But I do I actually really do like her. Like she's kind of Hey Frida.
SPEAKER_00You've rejoined us.
SPEAKER_01But um I I think like when she did gives her really fun interview grabs, like I think she's funny. She's good. Yeah, yeah. And she'll do her like queefing.
SPEAKER_00Get the girlfriend on the show. I don't know.
SPEAKER_01Like I'm sure they thought about it, but yeah. I'm sure her girlfriend's just a bit boring.
SPEAKER_00Cardias says that um Lily should call it off with San Fran, which I'm like, yeah. Also, I think he's like not keen anymore. Oh no, he's fully moved on.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. I do love that they're the only couple in the house that like have actually talked about oh, we're we're fully casual, like, don't worry about it. And that was her idea, by the way, as well. She brought it up and he's like fantastic. He was like, I was just gonna not say anything. Yeah, here you are with the coming at it, friends with Ben's girl. He's like, well, this is fantastic. I now don't have to worry about it. And then he's probably least affected and involved by Lily's behaviour, despite being the centre of it in her mind. He is on another planet. Yeah. He couldn't give a shit.
SPEAKER_00Lockie and Cardia. What the fuck? So they haven't fucked yet, but they've done some other stuff. Yes. And it's like this whole thing, when are they gonna seal the deal? Yeah. And he's like, Oh, Cardia, you plan with old mate's head pointing at his stick, yeah.
SPEAKER_01A separate a separate entity.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. The entity of Lucky's big schlong. Do you think it's big? Well, he thinks he seems to think so. Yeah, well, we'll find out. If only we could know for sure.
SPEAKER_01But what oh god, when was it this episode or last or the one before where um he was like, you know, I just don't want to have sex with you because like I care about you so much and like I'm worried that you know I quarry about your emotions, and then she said, You actually don't give a fuck about me, you're worried you're more worried about your reputation.
SPEAKER_00Which was I think is she's absolutely correct. She is dead on that. Vanglord me.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, and that's why they got such a reaction.
SPEAKER_00Nona fucking raised her wealth. Oh yeah. So oh, so there was a reward from doing the spray tanning drag queens. They get to go to drag bingo. Woo! Drag bingo. Yeah, Lexi goes, oh my god, Lexi's like Lexi's like, hello, rainbow flag over here. I love drag bingo. And Lexi's drag name is Quif Latifa. Pretty good. I know, I know. I was like, oh, and then I was like, okay, actually, hold on. Um Ree can't stand Lily, but this so this was amazing. Yeah. She's like, she opens up, she's like, look, Lily has just been dimming my fucking light this whole time. Yeah, and she's sucking all the oxygen out of the and I was like, We haven't heard this. I was like slow clapping for Ree at this point.
SPEAKER_01And you can you could totally see that happening. Like Paul Reed Re is probably used to being like the most loud, the most annoying, you know, extroverted person in her world. And then she gets into this house and she's like, oh wow, okay, I'm suddenly the shy, weird outsider.
SPEAKER_00And Lily's this pick me girl that's just getting all the boys' attention. All the attention. Rhee's not even been in discussion for the guard's attention at any point. Because it's like Lily's hot. Like that would drive me inside.
SPEAKER_01And she's I'm sure a lot of it is like a bit of reprojecting or feeling a bit of jealousy over Lily's. 100%. But I but I'm sure there's truth to Lily, to that where Lily is actually like pushing her to the sidelines, not letting her, yeah, not making her feel included. And so now when the rest of the house is is feeling that Ree's like, oh great, I can now be honest about it.
SPEAKER_00It it was amazing. I was like, finally, we're getting this was this was the Ree storyline I wanted. I mean, not this, but I wanted her to open up about something. I know, and it wasn't. So she's done it, but it's kind of fucked that it's about how toxic Lily is. But it makes so much sense, and it's like this whole time I was like, oh, Ree's just a bit shy or whatever. I'm like, no, Lily's been like so I don't know, squashing everyone else's fucking personalities.
SPEAKER_01But I don't think Lily gives a single fuck about Ree. No. So I don't see this as like an ongoing.
SPEAKER_00Oh no, it this is gonna end so badly for Ray. I know yeah, it's like I I don't you think like she'll probably it'll probably get back to Lily somehow and then he's gonna be like, you fucking bitch. I've never done anything bad to you. How dare you say that I've done something to you, I've never done anything to you. It'll be like that.
SPEAKER_01Re does not stand a chance. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Not a chance. Poor thing. It's like professional gaslighting attention whore. Yeah. So Queen! Queen! We're like Snap. Re uh yeah. She's showing her true colours. Um then. Oh, we're not at the end of the episode. No, a lot of things happen. No, there's more. Oh, then of course they go out. Oh yeah, they always go out. Oh, this was hot as well. Cardia goes to Lockie. I just need you to finish me off. I thought that was really hot. Oh, really? Yeah, well, like, I don't know. Do you think like having someone be like that? I don't know. Like the tension between them is like quite hot.
SPEAKER_01Yes, but like I I don't know. I just feel like it couldn't be me because as soon as I feel any even the slightest hint of rejection, I'm the fuck out of there.
SPEAKER_00Tot same.
SPEAKER_01I don't get this like conversation. Oh, no, the fact that they just came out. Here to pick me, what about today?
SPEAKER_00What about there is a whole club full of drunk Queenslanders to choose from? Yeah, move on. Move on. I don't get it. Nah, they're obsessed. In the car on the way to the club, they have a very eye roll conversation about um it's okay to be gay.
SPEAKER_02Vote Yes!
SPEAKER_00It was very love is love.
SPEAKER_01Oh, and love is love. Choose love, it gets better. Yeah, I mean, good for them. Great two queer castmates.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, great, but also like I don't know.
SPEAKER_01I know. Well, but that but that's literally where that's the that's the where you know the men are at in this show. Like that's the level.
SPEAKER_00No, true. You're right. San Fran never having met a gay person or something.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, never thought about it. He's like, I actually think that being gay um might be okay.
SPEAKER_00The best thing though was at the drag bingo when the drag queens had clearly been worded up by the cast to just like hang shit off Lily. I died. Like they roasted, they're like, oh, number 77, uh, Lily's a slut.
SPEAKER_01So good. Yeah, yeah. I actually was like, This is amazing. Yeah, number 24, Lily's a whore or whatever.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, but like Lily, um oh, so good.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, you can always count on a drag, queen, bingo to destroy someone.
SPEAKER_00But then it's like 77 sunset strip, and then Lockie goes, Did somebody say strip? And then for no reason starts to do a full strip tease magic mic routine, which I was like, Yeah, no.
SPEAKER_01In front of like Bev and Barry having a palmer and a pot in the country pub. Bizarre. Yeah, it was weird. Also, I didn't like it because I was like, Well, you know, the drag queens are the performers, like they're it's their show, that's on their stage, and you're just taking all of it. I'm sure they were worded up and it was all part of it, but yeah. I was like, they can't stand to not they're the type of people like at a drag bingo or anything else or a trivia or something where they're just stealing all the attention, sucking the oxygen out of the room.
SPEAKER_00Also, straight people listening, this is not how you be an ally in a queer space. No, rule number one, shut the fuck up. Rule number one, shut the fuck up. Yeah, it's quite simple. Touch the fucking drag queen, like seriously.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, they were anyway, anyway, good for them.
SPEAKER_00It was great, but also, yeah, this was when I was like, Oh, I'm really not into Lockie in any way. No, no, um, Lexi's like, I'm gay, everyone. Hello, yes, me, hi. It was very Jojo Siwa coded. Yes. San Fran tells the boys he can't fuck Lily anymore. And I'm like, yep. Even though she's got that bangin' rig, he's still lighting up. That chair through the floor. And we've all had this chair. We've all had this half last to someone in our life where we're like, they're so hot, but like, whoa, not worth it.
SPEAKER_01All the men have like clearly gone into this house being like, I can't wait to fuck everyone.
SPEAKER_00But then of course it's never gonna happen.
SPEAKER_01It's never gonna happen, but then like as soon as and then the women will just feel attached and then super jealous, which is such a turn-off for them. And his San Fran's already had sex with Lily. Yeah. So he's now like, okay, that's great. Now we move on to other people. And he that's the beginning, middle, and end of his thought process on it. And Lily is like writing her memoir about San Fran.
SPEAKER_00Does he not want to fuck Cartier or something? So they get back to the house, Cartier's like, Shagpad, here we come, and he's like, I'm gonna take this opportunity now, drunk at the end of the night, to lecture everyone about cleaning the house, which agree, but not the time.
SPEAKER_01Not the time, no one wants to hear that.
SPEAKER_00You're about to get just gonna be puss, mate. Yeah. I was shook by this, as Cartier was. She was like, she was like, I had someone choose cleaning over me. Uh-uh.
SPEAKER_01I mean, I would. But yes, no, I I get it. I think I was fucked. It's it's it's his equivalent of like Lily throwing a chair where he's just feeling so emotionally triggered by all of this mess.
SPEAKER_00I was like, did he do meth? What happened? Like, seriously, he does.
SPEAKER_01It was very methy, like, I've got to clean.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, gotta clean the place.
SPEAKER_01It's the kind of guy on a tram that you'd avoid eye contact with, and everyone is just connected, been like and he's trying to get your eye contact so bad.
SPEAKER_00Like, I know who was that? Anyway. Uh Lexi's pissed.
SPEAKER_01Um Lexy's pissed. I love how they're like, I have no context for what you're talking about. You're just like Lexis pissed, and you're like, I yeah, I'm on board.
SPEAKER_00Full disclosure, I wrote these notes when I was veristoned. Oh, really? So some is it a good show to watch stones? Yeah, absolutely. Is it? Yeah. But I've been reading some of them and I'm like, who's who wrote this? Cardia is cactus. Um like it's just cactus, is like Nana's tit job needs to pay off. Like, who wrote those notes? Please no, just throw it to me. I'll take it. I could just read them out at the bottom if you'd like.
SPEAKER_01I love the level of preparation that you do. It is very professional.
SPEAKER_00Someone's gotta do it. Uh, but they don't fuck, of course, no one's fucking the clean police.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, true.
SPEAKER_00Like, ooh, anyway, but she's so mad.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I don't get why she's so into it.
SPEAKER_00She's like, I douched and everything.
SPEAKER_01Oh, I don't get that the the kebabs that are always just waiting for them. Love it. Yeah, there's a lot of straight producers there. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00The night. The ten kebabs that they order. Uh anyway, next day, Charlotte calls an emergency meeting at the courthouse, and they go to this courthouse. This was so dumb, but I loved it. Um, they're in a scary waiting room. Charlotte does like a one-on-one interrogation with everyone, but it's also like a job interview for assistant manager. Yeah. Because she's got to go back to the UK because she's just had a child. Uh-huh. And Monaki doesn't want the job. Fair. I wouldn't either. I'd be like, this is a stitch-up.
SPEAKER_01Yes. I think like it's for um, like someone like Loki who just wants to yell at everyone and have a power trip.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Well, it was for two reasons. A fun little montage of the job interviews and a way to introduce Kyle back into the cast because then she goes, guess who got the job? And then in walks Kyle. So we're gonna get gay drama.
SPEAKER_01So tell me about Kyle from season one. Give me the 30-second pitch.
SPEAKER_00Kyle sucked Minaki's dick on the lower bunk with Cooper in the top bunk, eating shapes.
SPEAKER_01Okay, so when you asked me to do this pod, and you're like, Are you watching Ozzy Shore? And I said no, and you said please watch it so that we can podcast about it. And I said, Okay, anything for you. Except actually I said no. I'm like, that's your version of it. But in my version of it, you were like, please let me on the podcast, I'll watch it. No, but you described to me that scene without having any other context of the show, and you said this is what happens, and you're like, I'm on board.
SPEAKER_00Oh, yeah, it's oh, it was like the moment of yeah, yeah. I think it happened in like the first or second episode as well.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, so you're just like what is this show after watching Made in Bondi. No, so I need to go back and watch it. So wait, so this Kyle sucked Monarchy's dick. Yeah, yeah, but then and then I don't know, and then drama.
SPEAKER_00So but I'm glad, yeah. Very good.
SPEAKER_01We did and we did see in the tears that they make out. Which I'm can't wait. Because Monarchis are like, oh, I fucking hate Kyle, and then and then obviously, like every other gay man, obviously they hook up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, I hate him, I'll never hook up with him, and then obviously after one.
SPEAKER_00What happened to Anthony? He was fucking hot.
SPEAKER_01Which one is that? Oh, the one that the first plant. Yes, the one that stayed over.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, he was insane.
SPEAKER_01Yes. The one and and Monarchy said that he's a top, right?
SPEAKER_00Yes.
SPEAKER_01Why you laughed though? Don't believe him. Yes. Um, very exciting. There's it seems to be more like gay sex. I was promised by you that there would be gay sex. And there has not been gay sex, there has.
SPEAKER_00But it's just been with Randos from the clerk.
SPEAKER_01Which is fine. But now we've got Kyle in the house. And in Monarchy, maybe. Maybe the other way, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll see. I can't wait.
SPEAKER_00Can't wait. Thank you so much. Thank you for joining me this week, Michael. So good.
SPEAKER_01Okay, bye. Bye.
