Lol, 26, and Lil, 25, are the youngest duo in the competition, and have already clashed heavily with Michael and Rielli — with the former contestant writing them off due to their age.
However, Lol and Lil hate this sentiment. “We are definitely underestimated in this competition,” Lol tells Chattr. “You don’t have to be, as I said, 83 to know how to cook. I mean, there’s so many TikToks, there’s social media these days. It shows you different cuisines from all around the world.”
The duo have one aim this Instant Restaurant round, and that’s to prove Michael wrong.
“We are definitely after redemption. We are hoping to beat Michael and Rielli next round and prove him wrong again,” Lol says. “It absolutely feels like we’ve got a second chance and we are not going to let it slip this time.”
Where are MKR’s Lol and Lil from?
The pair are from Logan, Queensland, which is located between the Gold Coast and Brisbane. When Michael attended their first Instant Restaurant, he labelled the area “the slums” and called the girls “Logan bogans.” For Lol and Lil, it was hard watching it air on TV.
“It’s a bit rough. We definitely don’t go saying that to anybody else. I don’t think it’s necessary to judge someone based on where they live,” Lol tells us.
Before MKR, Lol had never been on a plane or left Queensland, but the best friends aren’t intimidated by Michael’s loud declaration that travel makes you a better cook.
“You don’t have to travel to know how to cook,” Lol hits back.

How did Lol and Lil learn to cook?
For Lol, her grandma is her “biggest inspiration”.
“I was in the kitchen with her for as long as I can remember and I learned so much from her,” she says.
Lil’s passion for cooking came later in life. “I always loved watching cooking shows growing up, they inspired me to learn. Cooking for my friends and family brings me so much joy,” Lil says.
What do Lol and Lil want to use the My Kitchen Rules prize money for?
Lol tells Chattr the pair have big plans if they walk away $100,000 richer at the end of MKR. They are hoping to release a three-part cookbook named Sugar, Spice and Everything Nice.
“And then, eventually, down the track, we would love a little cafe together,” she adds.
We’ll be the first ones at the cafe when it opens!
My Kitchen Rules (MKR) airs on Monday and Tuesday nights at 7:30pm on Channel 7 and 7Plus.
The Traitors Australia is returning to our screens in 2026, and Channel 10 has released some juicy details about the devious reality TV show. Gretel Killeen, who is known for her time hosting Big Brother Australia and competing on the current season of The Amazing Race Australia, will replace Rodger Corser as host for The Traitors Australia 2026.
“The Traitors is returning to 10 in 2026 with Aussie Legend Gretel Killeen as host! Dust off your cloaks, trusty Traitors, and prepare to bury the hatchet… in your closest ally’s back,” Channel 10 wrote on social media.
There have been plenty of rumours about who will be part of The Traitors Australia 2026 cast, including former Survivor Australia players and other celebrities. Below, here’s everything we know about The Traitors Australia 2026, including where it’s being filmed and who’s joining the cast.
Which celebrities have been cast in The Traitors Australia 2026?
Channel 10 says they are currently “assembling a brilliant cast of the most cunning and clever Aussies”, and the line-up will be revealed soon.
According to a reality TV fan account on X (formerly Twitter), Australian Survivor legend Kirby Bentley has been tipped to compete on The Traitors Australia 2026. This particular account knew the result of Survivor: Australia v The World before it had aired, so it’s possible they have connections.
“Queen Kirby will be competing on the next Traitors Australia season! Oh this is gonna be fun,” they wrote.
Kirby needs redemption after having her torch snuffed on Survivor: Australia v World.
Who is hosting The Traitors Australia 2026?
After rumours that Roger Corser would be replaced for the reinvented version of The Traitors Australia, Channel 10 announced Gretel Killeen as the new host on Sunday, September 28.
“As a writer and performer, I love a new experience and hosting the new Traitors gives me permission to explore an alternate version of myself in an imaginary place, full of challenging mischief,” Gretel said in a press release.
Channel 10 is equally as excited to have Gretel at the helm, with Vice President of Content at Paramount Australia, Tamara Simoneau, saying: “The Traitors format has fans obsessing over every twist and turn all over the world and it’s time we bring it back to Aussie screens with our very own version.
“There is no one better to bring it to life than the OG of groundbreaking, buzz-worthy reality shows, Gretel Killeen.”
Where will The Traitors Australia 2026 be filmed?
According to the New Zealand Herald, The Traitors Australia 2026 will be filmed at the 150-year-old Claremont Castle, situated at the foot of Mt Horrible near Timaru in New Zealand.
“That’s a big show of course, around the world now, The Traitors, and New Zealand’s own version, Season 3 is underway now in terms of production. I found out this week that The Traitors Australia show which hasn’t had as great a run over the Tasman has actually been picked up by South Pacific Pictures here in Auckland,” Editor at Large Shayne Currie said during Media Insider.
“[It] will be produced in South Canterbury, in the same place that they produced The Traitors New Zealand.”

When will The Traitors Australia Season 3 be released?
At this stage, we only know that The Traitors Australia Season 3 will hit our screens in 2026. Fingers crossed we don’t have to wait too long!
Is there a trailer for The Traitors Australia 2026?
Not yet, you’re far too early. The cast hasn’t been confirmed yet and filming hasn’t started. But make sure to bookmark this page, as we’ll update it as soon as more information is released.
You can stream The Traitors Australia on 10 and 10Play.
As Married at First Sight(MAFS)prepares to unleash its Season 13 cast into the spotlight in a mere matter of months, one former bride is offering up her time and advice to current participants filming.
Katie Johnston had a short-lived but memorable stint on MAFS, with the Season 12 bride going through the absolute wringer with her match Tim Gromie, who didn’t even try to give her a chance.
With those days behind her, and Katie surviving and thriving post-MAFS experience, she took to Instagram to pen a heartfelt message to the 2026 cast members.
“I’ve seen something recently where the MAFS 2026 cast have been branded ‘ick’ when reaching out for help (mind you I think this would have been taken out of context by the publication but I have not seen the original content). It’s absolutely not ‘ick’ to ask for help (call it ‘coaching’, ‘mentoring’, ‘a friendly chat with people with shared experience’),” Katie wrote.
“Breeding shame around people for seeking help isn’t OK. Some people don’t have the capacity to help, that’s ok too. If you guys and gals need help you just reach out to me, somethings aren’t easy to share in that environment, things are hard to navigate after that environment (knowing what’s fair or not)… and it’s hard to trust as there is an agenda during filming and that is filming a story (not necessarily an accurate one reflecting your perspective or reality). My time was brief but enough to witness the way it works. Be safe xxx.”
MAFS’ Katie reveals advice for Season 13 cast: ‘Everything comes to light eventually’
Katie revealed to Chattr that she’s had numerous upcoming MAFS participants reach out to her, but didn’t disclose their names.

She credited Andie Thompson and Lucinda Light as two former participants who were generous with their time after her stint on MAFS.
“I connected with Andie after I got home (a fellow Sunshine Coast local) she was such an amazing support and really understood,” she told us. “Later I got amazing advice from Lucinda too. The absence of gatekeeping was so refreshing with these two.”
On advice for the upcoming participants, Katie had this to say.
“Reach out to trusted ex-cast – it’s such a unique experience and not many people get all the nuances. There are a lot of sharks out there too, so exploitation is a real thing. Having a support system with people who are transparent and have no agenda to make money off you is crucial.
“I wish I knew ruthless the media are to generate clicks – unfortunately there is not much you can do but I would have been more mentally prepared for it,” she continues. “Seeing my fellow cast shrink and be overshadowed by whoever was the loudest and most ruthless was a microcosm of the world at large… sometimes there is nothing to do other than understand and know your truth. Everything comes to the light eventually.”
RealityTV_Fan, an Instagram account that’s usually bang on the money when it comes to leaked cast lists, has dropped names and photos of the 24 rumoured castaways, and you might recognise more than a few familiar faces.
If the leaked cast list is correct, the upcoming season, hosted by David Genat, will not only feature returning Survivor players but also familiar faces from Big Brother, The Traitors and The Voice.
There are whispers on the rumour mill that there will be four team captains — made up of returnee Australian Survivor players and TV Blackbox has confirmed that Brooke Jowett will be one of those.
Brooke Jowett competed on Australian Survivor 2016 and Australian Survivor: All Stars. While she hasn’t won a season, she has a whopping seven Immunity Idol wins under her belt, proving she’s a fierce competitor.
Simon Mee was the loveable villain who competed on Brains v Brawn and Heroes v Villains. During the latter season, George Vlandenov had a target on Simon’s back, but he found it very hard to get rid of him due to his multiple challenge wins.
Harry Hills is known as one of the most devious players in Australian Survivor history, thanks to his strategic ways and smart game play, earning him the nick name Dirty Harry. He competed on Champions v Contenders and All Stars.
Mark Warnock was largely considered one of the biggest masterminds on Rebels v Titans, and he narrowly missed out on the finals, coming in third place.

Throughout the 2025 season of The Block so far, Han and Can have gotten a pretty bad wrap, with many viewers questioning their relationship after numerous snaps and disagreements.
Viewers have seen them argue over painting, disagree on styling choices and exchange more than a few sharp remarks. However, with the season progressing, social media chatter suggests audiences are warming to the pair.
“I think these two have been an acquired taste. Really disliked them at first but now think they are quite funny, especially Can’s sense of humour,” one Reddit user wrote.
Another poster pointed out that perhaps Han and Can are painted to be more villainous than they actually are.

“I know that Han does things wrong, like the whole debacle with the builder and exaggerating his texts as an example. She’s also so snappy and rude to Dan when she should absolutely not be. But is she as horrible as they make her out to be? I honestly just think she’s a slightly awkward person who is a bit overwhelmed,” they wrote.
“I agree, I can’t bring myself to ‘hate’ them the way they seem to want us to hate them,” a third added. While a fourth chimed in: “They do seem the most hardworking house, but seem to lack the styling finesse of some of the other houses.”
Han and Can also defended their portrayal in an interview with Chattr earlier in the season.
“We’re both naturally fun, playful, and affectionate when not under extreme pressure. We love to laugh, dream up ideas together, and bring those ideas to life,” they told Chattr.
“We’re both perfectionists, and we take pride in creating something special, which meant during the show, we were often so busy on site or on the road that our lighter moments happened late at night back in the vans. If we had our time again, we’d have a bigger team and start the show with a builder to take some of the pressure off and allow us to enjoy those moments more often.”

How do the rest of The Block cast feel about Han and Can?
While Han and Can may come across as the group’s outcasts on TV — often missing group get-togethers — Sonny, Alicia, Mat, and Robby revealed that the girls actually share a strong bond with the rest of the cast.
“We speak to the girls a couple of times a week, we’ve been texting with them this afternoon. We have a very good friendship with the girls,” Sonny told Chattr in an interview in August.
“We absolutely love them,” Alicia echoed. “They are the kindest girls you’ll ever meet.”
Robby said that there’s no bad blood between any of the Blockheads, and that everyone gets along famously.
“We are very, very proud to say — and I know all the other contestants will be the same — that we went on this show just Matt and I, and we walked off with eight best friends — with Matt and myself making 10.
“Everyone’s still in the group chat. We speak every day, we laugh every day, we send videos to each other, we support each other, which is the first, I think, from feedback from previous years. And we’re, yeah, we’re all very good mates. And, you know, we’re proud of that.”
The Block 2025 airs on Sundays at 7:30pm and Monday – Wednesday at 7pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
Currently, we’re nervously awaiting next week’s dramatic run of Home and Away episodes, with Cash and Eden set to get married, only for a fan favourite to also meet their untimely end.
With the show teasing a car crash next week after the wedding, fans have already figured out who the likely poor victim is, with Theo’s days looking numbered.
But fans are also speculating this isn’t any old car crash, and that Theo might end up being the unlucky wrong target from someone who was trying to keep Lacey (his girlfriend) quiet.
Here’s the TL:DR.
Fans are worried for Theo. Image: Seven
Here’s what Home and Away fans think what will happen to Theo
For those catching up, Theo is dating Lacey. Lacey’s dad is David, the newish cop in the Bay, who is obsessed with investigating what happened to his wife, who died in a car crash. Lacey’s sister Jo was in the car with their mum at the time, and couldn’t remember the full circumstances until recently, when she underwent hypnotherapy and then remembered there was another car involved.
Her hypnotherapy session was so good she recalled flashes of a grey Mercedes coming to them on the wrong side of the road and even remembered a partial number plate. David, doing his detective work, soon discovered a potential driver Craig Wendell who is a local councillor in their previous hometown. Councillor Wendell had sold his grey Mercedes only days after Jo and her mum’s accident. Suspicious!
Do not trust this man!!!! Image: Seven
Now, with all that in mind, fans are speculating that the dubious councillor knows more than what he’s letting on and may go to desperate measures to stop David and his family from finding out what really happened.
This is where Home and Away fans think things go wrong for Theo.
“So here are my thoughts. Lacey starts her own investigation into her mother’s death, the councillor panics and tries to stop Lacey and that is how Theo dies in the car crash. The councillor kills Theo instead of Lacey” one person wrote.
“Think the bloke with the beard had it in for David. It might have been meant for David,” someone else speculated, with another fan saying, “I think Lacey’s interference will somehow have something to do with Theo’s accident.”
“Yep, Lacey [will be] harassing the councillor and he probably runs the car off the road to shut them up,” someone else speculated.
Poor Theo.
Fans think this is Leah running to the scene of Theo’s crash after Cash and Eden’s wedding. Image: Seven
When will Theo die on Home and Away?
All signs are pointing towards next week’s episodes. On Wednesday, Oct 1, as the wedding between Cash and Eden wraps up, the promo line for the episode says, “Lacey plots a sting.”
Thursday, Oct 2, the show hints at Theo’s final appearances, with the promo line reading: “Tragedy rocks Summer Bay. Bree is the bearer of bad news.”
Home and Away airs Mondays – Thursdays at 7pm on Channel 7 and 7Plus.
Between Brendan Fevola’s generosity towards other teams and the heartwarming bond he shared with his daughter Leni, it was clear the duo were fan favourites on The Amazing Race.
So when they were forced to withdraw due to Leni’s medical emergency, viewers were understandably heartbroken. But could the beloved pair make a return? It’s good news for fans hoping to see more of the iconic duo.
“One hundred per cent, without a doubt,” Brendan told Chattr in a post-elimination interview about a possible return to the show. “We loved it, it was so much fun.”
Brendan said that while travelling to different countries and experiencing new cultures was a highlight, there are plenty of other reasons he and Leni would love to return for another season.
“The people that we did it with—the other contestants, the crew, the producers, and the camera crew—everyone was just so beautiful, and it was just an amazing vibe,” he added.
“It was like, you know, when you go to Christmas dinner with your family? That’s what it was like every day. It was like, you’re hanging out with your family every day.
“And it was like, Oh, what are we doing today? Oh, we’ve got a couple of challenges. Oh, we’re gonna eat some testicles. We’re gonna do this. We’re gonna go down a big zip line and it was like, whoa! The challenges were just insane.”
The retired AFL player turned radio host explained that the camaraderie between the cast during non-filming time was another high point.
“At nighttime, we’d have a couple of beers together, and, you know, the Curry boys [Steve and Bernie] would get out the guitar, and then we’d sing songs. It was just so much fun. It was like we were on holiday, but then we had to compete.”

Brendan and Leni Fevola would love to see Stella and Lindy Klim return, too
At the mention of a second chance edition of The Amazing Race, Brendan and Leni said they’d love to return alongside Stella and Lindy Klim, who left during the same leg after Stella fell ill.
“Lindy, she’s so funny. Oh my god, she could be the funniest person I’ve ever met, and I don’t think she knows she’s funny,” Brendan said.
He explained that while most of the racers were adults, both Leni and Stella were teenagers during filming, and struck up a strong friendship.
“Leni and Stella are the same age, so they were both young. Well, Leni was the youngest; she’s a bit younger than Stella, by a few months. But, they got to hang out together, and it was good to have — we’re all immature adults that are on [the race] — but I think having Leni have someone that was her own age there was really comforting, and it was really cool. They hung out heaps together.”
We’d love to see all four racers return for another season, here’s hoping it happens!
The Amazing Race Australia airs on Sundays at 7pm and Mondays at 7:30pm on Channel 10 and 10Play.
Aussie Shore has officially returned for season 2, and House Boss Charlotte Crosby has warned that it’s even wilder than the iconic early days of Geordie Shore.
Season two will once again follow the wild antics of a group of young housemates as they work hard and party even harder — with a few new unruly cast members.
Charlotte reprises her role of House Boss, which involves setting unsavoury jobs for the housemates, and disciplining them when they get too far out of line. The OG Geordie Shore cast member compared the Australian cast to her old wild days in the franchise.
“Aussie Shore beats any series of Geordie Shore,” Charlotte told Chattr. “Like 10,000 times over, I have never watched a more wilder group of people, which actually made us feel a lot better, because people were like, ‘Oh no, what you did was so wild,’ the people were basically, like, it was so bad, but actually, now there’s worse,” she laughed.

Some of the wilder cast members include fiery Catia Sinigaglia, party girl Lily Stephenson, and reality TV veteran Callum Hole. When asked who she thought was the craziest, Charlotte couldn’t single anyone out — but admitted the Aussie Shore women are the ones bringing the fireworks.
“I think all of the girls are pretty wild. I would go as far as to say that they’re a lot wilder than the boys, she said.
“But the new guy, Lachy, is pretty wild. And I watched his audition tape, and I was like, ‘Wow, okay, he’s going to be a good cast member.'”
Lachy and Catia on Aussie Shore. Image: Paramount+.
When does Aussie Shore Season 2 air?
Aussie Shore Season 2 began airing on Paramount+ on September 25, with a double-episode drop on the premiere date. New episodes will be released weekly on Thursdays.
All 10 episodes of Aussie Shore Season 1 can be streamed on the same platform.
My Kitchen Rules (MKR) 2025 viewers were shocked when ‘villain’ Michael interrupted Mark and Tan’s judging to insinuate that Tan had professional cooking experience. While Tan manages five restaurants, he doesn’t work as a chef in any of the kitchens.
When judges Manu Feidel and Colin Fassnidge were complimenting Mark and Tan’s Chicken Khao Soi main, Michael asked Tan if this dish is served in his restaurants, to which he replied: “Absolutely. Any Thai restaurant should have it on their menu.”
Tan tells Chattr it was “annoying” to have Michael pipe up at the dinner table, but was pleased when Manu stood up for him.
“It was more annoying for me. We obviously know Michael talks a lot. Like any time, people are [allowed] to ask questions about whatever they want, but it’s more like a time and place,” Tan says.
“I think going into this competition, I [knew] there would be people [who would talk about my restaurants], but maybe not as much as Michael did. And after clearly explaining that I’m not a chef, [he still carried] on about it.”
After Michael had his moment during judging, Manu shut him down and told him off.
Manu and Colin weren’t happy with Michael’s interruption. Image: Seven
“It’s pretty cool, just in general, seeing Manu having your back kind of thing was a great moment. But other than that, it was kind of satisfying to have it put to rest,” the MKR contestant adds.
While Tan was a bit diplomatic about Michael’s behaviour, his mate Mark was pretty blunt.
“It’s just Michael being Michael. He’s always pretty rude and disrespectful… there’s a time and place, but you know, I guess that’s Michael, just trying to make excuses for why they might not cook as well,” Mark says.
“I think [he’s] trying to get the OGs on his side, so they [can] basically just try to push all the gatecrashers out.”
Does MKR’s Tan cook in his restaurants?

Tan tells Chattr he has no time to cook in his restaurants as he is too busy managing them.
“I am not a professional chef,” Tan says. “I have helped my parents in the kitchen, but [that wasn’t a] commercial setting, and that was a very long time ago when I was younger.
“I’ve got five businesses to manage, so I don’t have time in the kitchen.”
Mark and Tan ended up scoring an 80/110 for their Instant Restaurant, placing them second on the leaderboard behind Danielle and Marko.
My Kitchen Rules (MKR) airs on Monday and Tuesday nights at 7:30pm on Channel 7 and 7Plus.
My Kitchen Rules (MKR) 2025contestant Amy has come under fire from viewers and fellow contestants after not revealing her past as a private cook for celebrities like Chris Hemsworth and Lorna Jane. The drama blew up during Mark and Tan’s Instant Restaurant, with ‘villain’ Michael presenting his smoking gun: a printout of Amy’s Instagram post revealing her cooking past.
Amy wasn’t too phased by Michael’s big reveal, and says she “felt bad” for her fellow contestant. “Of course, Michael would do that. He’ll [always] do the most obvious thing,” Amy tells Chattr.
“He clearly needs a big mummy hug. He had to go and do a little bit of research and tell all the kids at school. That’s okay.”
The private cook defends her place in the competition, saying Michael’s claims that she worked professionally as a chef are all untrue.
“I am not a chef. Never have been, never been trained, nothing,” the MKR contestant declares. “We wouldn’t be here in the competition if we were; everyone sitting at the table is a home cook, everyone.
“Michael just doesn’t know when to stop. And I think that’s where he goes wrong.”
Michael whipped out these printouts to show the table. Image: Seven
Mark and Tan defend Amy against Michael’s criticism
While Michael seems outraged that Amy hid her previous experience as a private cook, MKR‘s Mark and Tan aren’t too fussed.
“You go on a cooking show, you expect people to have some sort of experience, right?” Tan tells us. “If anything, it motivates you to be better, and if you end up beating them, then it’s kind of a thing you should feel good about.”
“If she was that good to be doing [private cooking], she wouldn’t be on the show,” Mark adds.
Lol and Lil were shocked when they heard the news. Image: Seven
The pair believe Michael could be “insecure” about his own skills in the kitchen, so he’s trying to deflect in case he gets beaten by Amy and Lara or Mark and Tan.
“Maybe he doesn’t have any experience in cooking, so he’s finding ways to make excuses [in case] he gets eliminated,” Tan guesses. Mark also thinks Michael is trying to get the OG contestants on his side, so a gatecrasher will go home during this Instant Restaurant round.
Michael and Rielli have yet to cook during this Instant Restaurant round, so will they be able to put the money where their mouth is? Time will tell.
My Kitchen Rules (MKR) airs on Monday and Tuesday nights at 7:30pm on Channel 7 and 7Plus.
During a post-elimination interview, Stella told Chattr that despite not having a background in dancing, she’d be interested in making a play for the coveted mirror ball trophy.
“I’ve been saying I would love to go on Dancing With The Stars. I feel like I just love putting my mind to something and doing it. I don’t think I can dance very well, but I feel like I could somehow get there.”
“Dad did it around 20 or so years ago. So I’m like, it’d be pretty funny to do something that dad’s done before as well,” Stella added.
Her dad, Olympian swimmer Michael Klim, competed on the seventh season of DWTS back in 2007, and he was the first celebrity eliminated. Stella’s mum — and The Amazing Race partner — Lindy Klim, was all for Stella joining the show, and said that she thinks it won’t be hard for Stella to one-up her dad.
“I think you’d definitely do better than what Dad did,” Lindy laughed.
If Stella joined the dance competition, she’d be following in the footsteps of Brendan Fevola — who appeared on the same Amazing Race season as her and Lindy — and his daughter Mia. Brendan placed fourth on DWTS in 2012, while Mia reached the 2025 semi-finals.

Would Lindy Klim go on another Reality TV show?
While Stella is eager to return to Australian TV, Lindy is more hesitant. When asked about joining another reality show, she admitted she doesn’t really follow what’s on television.
“I definitely know that I don’t like the sound of those, I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here situations, I’m not up for that sort of stuff,” she said.
However, she told Chattr that a few people have suggested she join one of The Real Housewives franchises.
“People have been saying to me, I should do the Housewives of whatever they are, Melbourne, but then I’m like, I’m not a housewife, I’m not a wife,” she laughed, with Stella adding that it would be “so funny”.
Whatever the show is, we need this iconic mother-daughter duo back on our TVs stat.
The Amazing Race Australia airs on Sundays at 7pm and Mondays at 7:30pm on Channel 10 and 10Play.
If you need an addictive new show to binge-watch, Prime has you set with its spicy thriller series The Girlfriend.
The six-episode miniseries stars Robin Wright as Laura, an overprotective mother and wealthy gallery owner, and Olivia Cooke as Cherry, the working-class girlfriend of Laura’s son Daniel (Laurie Davidson).
What differentiates the show from your usual romance thrillers is that the series makes heavy use of dual perspectives: we see scenes played out with how Laura interprets moments and interactions, and then from Cherry’s perspective too. Seeing the same moments through filtered lenses makes opinions change as to whose side of the drama you’re really on.
Warning! This article is about to discuss The Girlfriend series in depth, so bookmark this if you haven’t watched it yet and come back to avoid spoilers!
The Girlfriend leaves viewers divided after tense six-episode series
Team Laura or Team Cherry? Image: Prime
Fans of the show are divided about whether they’re Team Laura or Team Cherry, with some thinking Laura was only trying to protect her son, while others are advocating for Cherry, saying she was only reacting to Laura’s behaviour.
Both characters displayed wild behaviour over the six episodes: from Cherry throwing Laura’s cat out a window, to Laura lying to Cherry and telling her Daniel had died after a rock-climbing accident. The nuances and two different perspectives have left fans debating who’s really in the wrong.
“The mother just digging for something wrong is appalling. Going through people’s things, phones, rooms, having no boundaries,” one person said on a Reddit thread discussing the show.
“I just finished it and OMG I genuinely was more on the side of the Mum tbh,” someone else stated. “Cherry just gave me the creeps the whole time and I felt like I hated her more and more as the show went on. The mum was extreme but I kind of understood her motive to protect her son even though she went too far.”
“I hate Cherry,” someone else agreed. “Anyone who is on her side or condones her behaviour has issues. Yeah, Laura is messed up AF. But all these team Cherry people are cray.”
What in the name of Freud??? Image: Prime
Other people pointed out there’s a likeness between Cherry and Laura.
“Too many are picking and choosing who’s the worst when they’re essentially the same person. There’s hints to it throughout,” one person pointed out. “Like when the husband notes that Laura did the same thing (BJ) upon meeting his parents. Laura getting Cherry fired, Cherry sabotaging Laura in the art world. Cherry saying her father was dead, Laura saying her son was dead.
“Both are very controlling and manipulative. Cherry definitely has a darker streak but Laura was willing to drug her own son to make him listen to her, so she’s not that far off. At the end of the day I think it was a trope on the whole men marry their mothers/girlfriends replace the mother.”
And some fans aren’t happy with The Girlfriend finale, calling it a ‘cop out’
If you’ve watched the season, you know it ends with Cherry heavily pregnant and everyone playing happy families after Laura’s death (where Daniel accidentally drowned his mum while trying to keep her away from Cherry, after Cherry discovered Laura had drugged Daniel while trying to tell him the truth about Cherry’s dad – yeah, a lot is going on here).
However, Daniel finds his late mother’s phone, charges it, and then finds a video message and the audio recording Laura took when talking to Cherry’s mum about her behaviour. In an earlier scene, Laura had visited Cherry’s mum to find out the truth about what had left Cherry’s dad in care after a brain injury, and found out Cherry had pushed him off a building. Like we said, a lot is going on in this show!!!
With the final minutes of the season painting Cherry as the villain, as a horrified Daniel realises “the truth”, fans have spoken up in defence of Cherry and the way the series ended.
“I was disappointed they copped out at the end and said Cherry was a psychopath and fortune hunter. She had her own prestigious job and she didn’t chase after him, he chased after her. She only lied about the school because her coworker got promoted for going there while being far less capable at the job,” one person said on Reddit. “Cherry is intelligent, hard-working, capable, good looking and never pretends to Daniel that she is upper class.
“I doubt they would let a child or teenage girl go up to the 13th or 14th floor of a building site. The father calling her a liar may easily have been abusive or incestuous and trying to hide his actions. And why would the [Cherry’s] mother, a butcher with a store full of sharp instruments, encourage Cherry to move back in if she got violent over simple frustrations?”
“I felt that the reveal about Cherry being a psycho at the end was unearned and underbaked because we did see her express genuine love and affection for Daniel and his dad,” another person said.
“Yes she did do some nuts things but beyond the initial lying, it was all in reaction to Laura’s escalations, like lying about Daniel’s death. I was intrigued with where they were going with Cherry, but to just plop in that she’s always been a violent psycho felt wrong.”
Will there be a second season of The Girlfriend?
With it ending on the cliff-hanger of Daniel finding the recording and Cherry ready to pop out their baby, fans are keen to see how the story would continue to play out.
As of right now, a second season hasn’t been announced, but we’re holding out hope.
Robin Wright, who starred as Laura and directed the show, dropped a tantalising line to Today. “Laura could still be alive,” she speculated. “If he resuscitates her, that’s not on camera.”
Well, as one person said about Season One: “It made little sense, but was very addictive. Very enjoyable.”
Lindy Klim was referred to as a “Balinese Princess” multiple times throughout The Amazing Race Australia 2025 — but is she actually royal?
Turns out Lindy is, in fact, a real princess by blood, and she explained her royal heritage in a post-elimination interview with Chattr.
“So my family come from a royal family in Denpasar,” she said. “So there are eight kingdoms in Bali, and we’re part of one of the royal families.”
“It’s my great, great uncle, who was the king, and then he passed away. So then they had to find another king. So the current king of Denpasar isn’t actually a blood relative of ours anymore, but that’s the lineage of the family”
Lindy competed on the popular reality show with her daughter Stella, who fell ill during the seventh leg of the race and was later diagnosed with epilepsy. With Lindy’s royal heritage, it begs the question — does that make Stella a princess too?
“I don’t know. I don’t think so. I wouldn’t say so,” Stella told Chattr. However, her mum confirmed that Stella is, technically, a princess, too.

“It does. We have a family name, which is Agron, which means children of the king. So all the kids have that same name.”
Lindy added that while she is royal, she doesn’t like to advertise the fact.
“I grew up in Australia. My father passed away, you know, many years ago, so I don’t really have that much of a connection with it. I still see my family here [in Bali] quite a bit, but I don’t consider myself sort of part of that [royal] family, you know, I don’t really understand what goes on. There is a big ceremony I have to go to, but I don’t really understand a lot of it. So that’s why I kind of don’t really call myself Princess, by choice.”
Stella was diagnosed with epilepsy after she and Lindy Klim left The Amazing Race
During the seventh leg of The Amazing Race Australia 2025, Stella fell ill and began to black out while doing a challenge, which involved digging through brine-filled barrels and laying fish out to dry. The mother-daughter pair were removed from the race, and Stella was diagnosed with epilepsy weeks later.
“I actually ended up getting diagnosed three weeks later with epilepsy,” Stella told Chattr. “I’ve had five seizures since, so we reckon it could be somewhat connected to that. And I think the change of temperatures, going from super cold to super hot, affected that and the lack of sleep and everything.”
Stella explained that she’s been working with doctors to find the right medication for her.
“It’s actually been quite tricky. Just since I have been having seizures, I’ve been on medication, but it just gets worse,” she said.
“I just had a seizure two weeks ago, actually, and I was in the back of an Uber with my manager, and I ended up having to go to the hospital, and my doctor came in and just goes, ‘That’s it, like we’re going to have to double your dose and just see if that helps’. So we’re just waiting to watch and see what happens, and hopefully I’m all good,” she explained.
The Amazing Race Australia airs on Sundays at 7pm and Mondays at 7:30pm on Channel 10 and 10Play.
Brendan previously chatted to the TikTokers on his show The Fox’s Fifi, Fev & Nick, where he claimed a contestant had treated them badly. “I witnessed what one particular contestant did to you boys, and he said it to me and said it to you previously. I just want to say to you boys that I’m sorry for what happened to you. I wasn’t privy to it [prior], and you guys were getting homophobic slurs thrown your way,” he alleged.
He tells Chattr he was “really happy” that he was able to support Luke and Scott through the tough moment. “It was a fleeting moment where things got a bit out of control, and I was just lucky enough that I was there to help support the boys. And, you know, they were petrified, and I was shaken up by it,” he claims.
According to Brendan, he threatened to quit the race with Leni if the Middleton brothers weren’t removed, which Leni supported.
“I think Leni was a bit shocked when I told her what had happened, and she’s like, ‘Dad, whatever you want to do, we will do’, and she was supportive,” he adds.

Leni tells Chattr she wasn’t surprised by Brendan’s reaction at all. “That’s just who dad is as a person,” she says. “I wasn’t shocked by how he handled it. Obviously very proud of him, but that’s just who he is.”
Brendan adds that Channel 10 handled the controversial situation professionally. “We all just moved on from it, and we’re all there to support each other,” he recalls. “The next day, we moved on, and we raced, and everyone had a great time.”
Why Brendan Fevola approached The Amazing Race with kindness
Viewers were constantly shocked by Brendan Fevola’s acts of kindness on The Amazing Race Australia 2025, as he was often helping his competition. Whether it was going back to help Gretel Killeen and Epiphany with their bags, or giving other contestants directions, he wasn’t afraid to give other people a leg up.
“Leni [was] like, ‘Why are you helping everyone?’, and I was like, because that’s what we do,” Brendan recalls. “Doesn’t matter whether [we are in] a race or not, at the end of the day, we’re all there having some fun and we’re travelling the world.
“Everyone just got along really well, and you didn’t want to see anyone struggle. And if you could help someone… I just sort of always thought I should help out.”

Brendan’s generosity was repaid by his fellow contestants when he raced the seventh leg without Leni, who was sick. When he struggled during the fish challenge on the beach, Rob Mills and Georgie Tunny stepped in to help.
“They’re so beautiful. I just didn’t want them to sacrifice [their race], but they insisted on helping,” he says. “The way they did it, was just beautiful… Luke and Sassy were the same; they were like, ‘Can we help you?’… even Lindy and Stella, before Stella got crook, they were saying, ‘We will help you. We’ll help you when we finish.’ But that’s just the way the race went. We all just helped each other.”
It’s unusual to see such wholesome moments on a reality TV show, but it’s truly beautiful to see.
The Amazing Race Australia airs on Sundays at 7pm and Mondays at 7:30pm on Channel 10 and 10Play.
It was some rare good news in Home and Away’sSummer Bay this week when Mack (Emily Weir) found out she and Levi (Tristan Gorey) were pregnant after going through some gruelling IVF treatments.
While it’s early days for the pair on the show, fans are already excited at the thought of a mini Mac and Levi, begging the show to let the couple have a happy ending.
“Please let her have the healthiest and best pregnancy so she can be happy!!! Don’t ruin it,” one fan begged on Home and Away’s Instagram, with another saying, “Yay! So happy for Mack and Levi… I’m excited like it’s real life.”
Some fans are already assuming the worst because, well, this is Home and Away and no one stays happy for too long.
“She can’t be this happy. Something will happen,” one person predicted. “Let’s just hope it actually wasn’t Levi that died in that crash after Eden and Cash’s wedding,” another morbidly said.
Now BIG warning. Do not keep reading if you hate spoilers. You’ve been warned!

Home and Away spoiler: Will Mack and Levi have a baby?
Just like the title describes, fans talk about various upcoming spoilers (your last warning). Recently, in the group, one admin shared an image from a recent filming with Mac on set showing no baby bump.

With the show filming months in advance, this means the actors are currently playing out scenes that will hit our screens sometime in 2026. So TL:DR, it’s not looking great for Mac and Levi.
“She has been seen filming even before the 15th of September with no baby bump or baby,” the admin said. “Remember, they film 4/5 months in advance. She would definitely be showing or at least had a baby by now. I hope I am wrong, but unfortunately it doesn’t look good.”
Given the emotional rollercoaster of Mack and Levi’s journey, fans are upset.
“That’s so sad, I was hoping for a happy ending for Mack as she has gone through a lot. It would be nice for her to be pregnant,” one person commented.
And unfortunately for Mack and Levi, this week’s series of episodes ended with Mack telling Levi she was bleeding, with next week’s promo showing a distraught Mack reading an entry in a journal she had already written for her baby.

Home and Away fan’s suggestion for ‘full circle’ moment
Despite the probable sad news, one Home and Away fan saw an opportunity for the writers.
“Wouldn’t it be nice if they bought the caravan park and started fostering?” they asked, with many of Home and Away’s original storylines revolving around Tom and Pippa Fletcher who bought the Summer Bay caravan and fostered kids.
“It’d bring everything full circle, as that’s what started the show,” another fan agreed.
Home and Away airs 7pm Monday to Thursday on Seven and 7plus.
Fans were devastated when The Amazing Race Australia 2025 contestants Brendan Fevola and his daughter, Leni, had to quit the show due to illness. After landing in Sri Lanka for the seventh leg, Leni came down with a severe bug, which they suspect could have been COVID. However, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
“[I] came down with a really, really nasty, what we think was a super aggressive strain of COVID or the flu or something like that,” Leni tells Chattr. “I [had a] high fever, I was achy, I was delirious. So the medics came and checked me out.”
Brendan adds that Leni has a “really bad immune system”, so he was hoping she would recover after having a couple of days off from the race. When he finished the leg and found out it was a virtual pit stop, he just “melted” and decided to withdraw from The Amazing Race — a decision that the Fevolas are grateful for.
“That led into a six-week chest infection, so good call by dad, because then the week that I got better, my appendix burst,” Leni recalls. “So it was just a series of unfortunate events.”
Throughout the seventh leg, Brendan was thinking about Leni the entire time. “She was in a hotel by herself you know, crook. So I was constantly checking with the producers throughout the race because they were in contact with her,” he says.

The contestant found himself racing to make Leni proud and wanted to push through for their chosen charity, Small Steps 4 Hannah. “I think it was the first time in the world that someone’s actually raced on their own,” Brendan tells us. “You want to obviously do it for your charity… [but] it was really hard doing it on [my] own. Didn’t have my little mate with me.
“All that’s going through your mind [is when] I get to the final mat… I can get home to her. And then [Beau] said, it’s a virtual pit stop. And I [just] literally melted. I cried,” he adds.
“I just wanted to go home to my wife and kids, and wanted to take Leni home, because I knew how sick she was — and I didn’t realise how sick she actually was — so I made the right call in the end.”
What did Leni think of Brendan Fevola’s decision to quit The Amazing Race?
When Leni heard the pair were now out of The Amazing Race Australia 2025, she had mixed emotions.
“I was devastated that our time on the race was over, because it was just, it was so incredible. And I’ll probably do nothing like that ever again,” Leni explains. “But at the same time, I was so sick. I was quite delirious. I don’t think I was quite aware of what was going on.
“I was quite excited to get home to my mum, be in the comfort of my bed, and have her and my sisters and just everyone.”

Now that they’re officially out, Brendan has his eye on Rob and Georgie to take out the grand prize, while Leni says it could be anyone’s game. No matter who wins, they’re both eagerly anticipating the grand finale.

Stella and Lindy Klim left The Amazing Race 2025 after Stella fell ill and began blacking out during a fish sorting challenge, and she revealed to Chattr that she was diagnosed with Epilepsy shortly after.
“I actually ended up getting diagnosed three weeks later with epilepsy,” Stella told Chattr. “I’ve had five seizures since, so we reckon it could be somewhat connected to that. And I think the change of temperatures, going from super cold to super hot, affected that and the lack of sleep and everything.”
Stella said her symptoms began a few days earlier, but they worsened during the fish challenge, where she and her mum had to dig through brine-filled barrels and lay fish out to dry under the scorching sun.
“I had been feeling kind of off… halfway through the show. I just kept getting dizzy spells. So that would be every time I stood up, turned around, whenever that type of strong movement would happen.
“And then when we got to Sri Lanka, I think with how tired I was and the heat, I just could not see anything, I would stand up and it just went so like my eyes were just black. I could not see a single thing, I was super, super dizzy, super nauseous. I was finding it really hard to breathe. My memory too, I couldn’t get the words out of what I wanted to say. And I think I got into a bit of a panic as well, just because I was so uncertain what was happening, plus like I wanted to do so well. So the pressure of like, wanting to feel better again, to keep on going, was really hard.”

Lindy added that she thinks the gruelling schedule of being part of the race is what exacerbated Stella’s symptoms, and ultimately led to her Epilepsy diagnosis.
“The travel, I think too, because it was a long stint travelling as well, and that’s what happened, and that’s what brings on her seizures, is the lack of sleep, stress and all those sorts of things. So I think that’s kind of what made that all come about.”
Stella said that although she was determined to continue racing, The Amazing Race medic deemed it unsafe for her to continue, and it was decided that it was best for her to fly back to Australia that night.
“We decided to leave that night after we did our interviews, and we ended up actually flying back with Leni and Fev, which was good, because we got to be together for that whole flight home.”
How Stella is dealing with her Epilepsy diagnosis now
Stella and Lindy told Chattr that they were relieved that they left The Amazing Race when they did, and that they’ve gotten a diagnosis for Stella. However, Stella said she’s experienced multiple seizures since and is struggling to find the right medication to handle her condition.
“It’s actually been quite tricky. Just since I have been having seizures, I’ve been on medication, but it just gets worse,” she said.
“I just had a seizure two weeks ago, actually, and I was in the back of an Uber with my manager, and I ended up having to go to the hospital, and my doctor came in and just goes, ‘That’s it, like we’re going to have to double your dose and just see if that helps’. So we’re just waiting to watch and see what happens, and hopefully I’m all good,” she explained.

Lindy added that Stella actually had her first seizure when they were chatting on a video call.
“When we did have the Zoom call with The Amazing Race a few weeks [after finishing filming], and Stella was in Bali on the Zoom, when I was in Australia, and she actually had her first seizure on Zoom.
“So that was really difficult because I wasn’t there. I wasn’t able to help or see what was happening or whatever. I could just see a fan going around the ceiling because the computer had fallen. That was really tricky. She had her boyfriend with her at the time, thankfully, but that was as a mum. Being stuck on the other side of the world was a really challenging time.”
We hope Stella has a steady recovery and wish her all the best.

The Block‘s Han and Can fired their chippy Ben during Episode 26, only for him to pop back up at Sonny and Alicia’s house a few weeks later. The return of Ben through the women for a loop, especially after the tradie shared a bunch of messages exchanged prior to his dismissal.
During the episode that aired on September 22, Han and Can confessed that they were surprised to see him back, claiming that he sent them a bunch of mean texts after they fired him.
“I’m a bit shocked, because after the way he spoke to me,” Han said in a producer-led interview. “The texts that we received after sending some lovely texts were quite gross, actually.”
Han refused to share the texts on camera. However, Ben later provided them, and the screenshots shown in the episode told a very different story — with Ben voicing his frustration at being let go right before Easter, but ultimately signing off by thanking them for reaching out and telling them to “take care.”
Fans respond to Han’s reaction to the text messages
While Han painted out Ben’s response to be out of line, fans have a different take after seeing the texts aired during Monday’s episode.
“That editing was just on point. Han is really lacking in character to try and paint him like that when she was the one that shafted him,” one person wrote on Reddit.
“The fact that Han tried to paint Ben in such a bad light was so vile. The only reason why she wanted to move on and not go through the message with the producers was because she had tried to spin the narrative, so she could once again make herself the victim. Fortunately, Hanzilla did not win this battle,” another person wrote.
A third user celebrated Ben being vindicated during the episode.
“Personally, I found it funny asf! Han’s there trying to tell the world he’s a c**t and sent all these abusive messages to her, and she’s just a poor widdle girl being targeted by a big mean man, but can’t show any proof. Then the big mean man shows up and ope! Receipts! Han’s a fool! Don’t lie about someone when they have the evidence you’re lying about them, it never works out well!!
Another person said that while they initially understood why Han didn’t want to show the texts on camera, given the circumstances, it would have made sense for her to share them.
“So she backtracked a bit and didn’t want to show the texts. And look — fair enough. I wouldn’t want to share personal communications with the whole world either. It is a bit unprofessional under normal circumstances. But it’s not normal circumstances. It’s The Block. Which means production is just going to go straight to Ben and stir the pot by telling him Han was bitching about the text he sent and ‘btw, can you show it to us?’”
The Block 2025 airs on Sundays at 7:30pm and Monday – Wednesday at 7pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
Han and Can have been under an immense amount of pressure, and fans have been speculating about their romance. One viewer said they’d “be surprised if these two are together after the show”, while another claimed Can often “looks disgusted” with Han.
However, the couple tells Chattr viewers missed out on seeing how “playful and affectionate” they can be with each other, and there are also rumours floating around about Han and Can’s engagement.
“We’re both naturally fun, playful and affectionate when not under extreme pressure,” Han and Can say. “We love to laugh, dream up ideas together, and bring those ideas to life. We’re both perfectionists, and we take pride in creating something special, which meant during the show, we were often so busy on site or on the road that our lighter moments happened late at night back in the vans.
“If we had our time again, we’d have a bigger team and start the show with a builder to take some of the pressure off and allow us to enjoy those moments more often.”
Can also told TV Week that The Block “is the ultimate relationship tester”, but said it made the pair come out “stronger in the end”.

Will Han propose to Can at The Block 2025 auction?
A source told New Idea that a big proposal is on the cards for The Block 2025 auction.
“Han really wants to propose, maybe at the auction, but all the backlash they’ve received during the airing is making her have second thoughts,” the insider said.
“It feels like it would just get torn apart, and she doesn’t want a moment like that to be ruined.”
Han previously mentioned taking the next step with Can in an interview with TV Week, saying: “The next step for us would be getting engaged, if we can afford a ring… if we earn any money from The Block.”
Considering Emma and Ben’s baby is also due around this time, there could be two big milestones on auction night. This is the type of reality TV drama we want to see!
The Block 2025 airs on Sundays at 7:30pm and Monday – Wednesday at 7pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
After claiming her second Survivor win on Australia v The World, Parvati Shallow has well and truly cemented herself as an international icon of the franchise — so, would she ever consider stepping over into a host role?
With the recent switch-up that has seen three-time player David Genat step into Jonathan LaPaglia’s hosting shoes on Australian Survivor, the question of who will eventually take over from the long-time Survivor US host Jeff Probst has been thrown around.
While it doesn’t appear that Jeff — who’s hosted the show for 25 years and is an executive producer — will be giving up his role anytime soon, Parvati told Chattr she wouldn’t be opposed to heading up the show if the opportunity arose.
“It’s not something I’m like, putting on my vision board. But, if Jeff wanted to step down, and he said he’s had enough, I would step up,” she told Chattr in a post-win interview.
“I would definitely throw my hat in the ring to host the show, especially if David is still hosting [Australian Survivor], and he and I could go head-to-head and kind of battle it out for whose game is the best. I live for competition like that. So that would be fun.”
Fans think Parvati ‘shaded’ Jeff Probst in our interview
During a post-win interview with Chattr, Parvati gushed about Australian Survivor host Jonathan.
“He was fun to play with because the host is part of the game. They influence the game. They become part of the game. He was fun to banter with on challenges, and he held my torch when I needed his help. He was very supportive.
“I really appreciated that he gave us contestants, space at Tribal Council to run it, like, he wasn’t trying to control Tribal or make it about him in any way. He really just offered us the platform he asked questions of us, and then let us run with it,” she added.
Some fans took Parvati’s positive comment about Jonathan as a dig at Jeff, who’s hosted the four US seasons she’s played.
“I feel like she’s shading Jeff,” one person commented. Another wrote: “I prefer JLP’s [Jonathan’s] approach to tribal council a lot more than Jeff’s. He gets to the point and asks the correct questions instead of some meta questions, motivating the players to make up the 826th metaphor for how playing Survivor is like. There’s no fluff.”
One thing is for sure, between Parvati and Jonathan, SurvivorUS would have no shortage of strong contenders if Jeff ever steps aside.
