It’s episode 33 of The Block and time for the master bedroom ensuite reveals. But before we see what magic the Blockheads have created, here’s what happened during the episode.
After thinking about it all week — and Kristy’s horrendous behaviour during episode 32, Leah heads to Kristy and Brett’s house to voice her concern about their behaviour, especially towards Eliza and Liberty.
As expected, it doesn’t go down well.
Kristy bites back and says she is only saying this because she is worried about how she is going to be portrayed on TV. LOLz.
Taking precisely zero responsibility, Kristy wonders why she is to blame for the so-called “mean girls” behaviour, saying that Leah was a willing accomplice. LOLz again.
Leah and Kristy. Nine
Ash then admits that the confrontation was necessary as he and Leah are not like this at home and they want to be true to themselves and set a good example for their three kids.
Unsurprisingly, iIt all ends in tears and Leah says that her once close friendship with Kristy is now gone.
Meanwhile, Eliza and Liberty can’t stand Kristy and Brett, managing to avoid them as much as possible.
After another drama-filed week, Scotty arrives on Charming St and judging gets underway on their master ensuite bathrooms.
Room Reveals
Kyle and Leslie – $$25,969
Although initially being well-received by the judges, Kyle and Leslie’s creation unfortunately faced several significant functionality issues. The double shower proved to be excessively cramped, and the positioning of the shower grate was completely off.
Leah and Ash – $26,014
The judges were impressed by the extensive bathroom design, particularly the spacious shower. However, Shaynna expressed her disappointment in the immature styling, which ultimately affected Leah and Ash’s overall performance.
Kristy and Brett – $31,608
The judges were impressed with how seamlessly the bathroom in House Three connected with the other rooms. Shaynna praised its functionality, while Kristy and Brett received their best feedback yet.
Steph and Gian – $31,753
The judges found this bathroom was more suited to social media, rather than being great overall. Marty even went as far as likening it to a “quarantine facility”, expressing his strong dislike for it.
Eliza and Liberty – $29,662
The judges were in awe when they entered the room, impressed by its thoughtful layout. However, they had one critique, mentioning the positioning of the face-level storage.
Scoring
Eliza and Liberty and their arch-rivals Kristy and Brett tied for the win, pocketing $10,000 each.

It’s episode 13 a.k.a the Quarter Finals of My Kitchen Rules 2023 and the Kween has arrived! Yup, Nigella Lawson is back for Finals Week and we must bow down!
The episode was split into two rounds and given Radha and Prahba and Sonia and Marcus were already sent straight to the semi-finals, they got to sit back, relax and enjoy the food that was being served.
Colin Fassnidge then announced that since Tommy and Rach were third on the Leaderboard, they would also get a fast pass into the second round. This left Nick and Christian, Claudean and Anthony, Aaron and Chris and Amber and Mel to face off in Round One.
After the first round, one team would be eliminated and after the second, two more would be sent packing.
Here’s everything the teams cooked.
Round 1
Four fridges contained a hero ingredient: beef, pork, chicken and fruit and veg. The teams had to then choose a fridge that held the ingredients they would feature in their dish.
Nick and Christian: Fruit and Veg
Aaron and Chris: Pork
Claudean and Anthony: Chicken
Amber and Mel: Beef
The Leaderboard came into play, with each team starting to cook five minutes after the next.
Nick and Christian
Dukkah Roasted Pumpkin
Aaron and Chris
Dong Po Rou
Claudean and Anthony

Amber and Mel

Team Eliminated
Amber and Mel
Round Two
For the second round, the remaining teams had to present a dessert in 60 minutes.
Tommy and Rach were the first My Kitchen Rules 2023 contestants introduced and they’ve been presented as friends with a potential romantic agenda ever since.
However, during an interview withChattr, the two reality stars stressed that their relationship is platonic and challenged the narrative that mixed-gender relationships can’t be.
“It’s so funny to us,” Rach said of their speculated courtship. “Let’s normalise having really close friendships and that being okay and that they don’t need to be romantic.”
“Tommy and I exist within our own eco-system, we’re housemates, we’re friends, we’re besties. We have so many shared friends among us,” she added.
Tommy and Rach. Instagram.
Tommy agreed with Rach and said that he hopes viewers are inspired by the close friendship they share.
“What people do see on TV is Rach and I, that’s our relationship. While we might be affectionate and it’s evident that we love each other, we are just friends. Why can’t any friendship be like this?” He said.
“We have this friendship, this level of intensity with all of our friends and it makes for such a rich and happy life. I just hope that’s inspiring to watch and people can see that you can enable this in your life as well,” he added.
Why weren’t Tommy and Rach in round two of the Instant Restaurants?
Tommy and Rach have been missing from My Kitchen Rules episodes for a few weeks now – but it’s for a positive reason. The WA team came in second place in the first round of Instant Restaurants, which meant that they were sent straight through to the quarter-finals.
MKR. Seven.
When are the MKR quarter-finals on?
The My Kitchen Rules quarter-finals will air on Sunday, October 1st at 7pm on Channel 7 and 7Plus.
The My Kitchen Rules Grand Final airs on Tuesday, October 3rd at 7:30pm on Channel 7 and 7Plus.
Mother-son duo Marcus and Sonia have won over hearts all over the nation, but will they win My Kitchen Rules 2023?
Well, you’ll just have to wait to find out. But, according to Marcus, there’s one specific way to come out triumphant on the cooking show.
“I feel like the way to win My Kitchen Rules is not in the cook, it’s not in your stress management, It’s not in your teamwork,” he said in an interview with Chattr.
“I mean it’s all in those things, and there’s a million other things combined that go into it. But the key is the recipes you submit.
My Kitchen Rules. Seven.
“You need to understand what the brief is and sometimes you don’t need to do a million different things that are crazy and that taste amazing. You just need to do a few simple things that really well, and you’ll kick ass.”
Sonia agreed with her son and reiterated that MKR is about good home-style cooking.
“I think everyone tries to zhuzh it up because you think, ‘Oh Colin [Fassnidge], Manu [Feildel] and Australia are watching, we can’t do what we do on a normal Sunday lunch.’
“But if you stick to [what you know] and have conviction in that and you do it really well, I think Marcus is right, that’s one of your best strategies,” she said.
“They want the food you can do well, not an attempt at the food you think you can do,” Marcus added.
My Kitchen Rules. Seven.
Who’s still in the competition?
As of now, only two teams have been eliminated from My Kitchen Rules; Coco and Pearls and Patricija and Brigita.
Coco and Pearls were eliminated in the first round of Instant Restaurants, and Radha and Prabha and Tommy and Rach were sent straight through to the finals. Patricija and Brigita had the lowest score in the second round of the Instant Restaurants and were eliminated.

Wolf Like Me is back for a season 2 and the trailer is a wild ride! A familiar face from Mary’s past returns with the goal of getting her back, leaving both her and Gary questioning their relationship.
As Mary’s pregnancy progresses, the lovers question how dangerous it is bringing the baby into the world, considering that she’s, well, a werewolf.
The Stan original romantic dramedy is returning for its sophomore season on October 19, and we’re sure it’s going to be nothing short of juicy.
Watch for yourself:
What is Wolf Like Me season 2 about?
In the second season of Wolf Like Me, Mary and Gary (Josh Gad) embark on the next chapter of their relationship, facing their greatest challenge: pregnancy.
Wolf Like Me. Stan.
Striving for a “normal” experience, they find themselves overwhelmed with uncertainties. Will their child be human or wolf? How long can they keep this hidden from their families? And will their past in the outback catch up with them?
Amidst it all, Mary’s former professor, Anton (Édgar Ramírez), resurfaces, unearthing hidden secrets from her past. Now, Mary and Gary question if they are truly destined to be together.
Wolf Like Me. Stan.
“When season one of Wolf Like Me concluded, there were countless directions the story and characters could take,” series creator, writer, director, executive producer Abe forsythe said about the new season.
“In this new world, Isla’s portrayal of Mary continued to surprise me with her heartbreaking vulnerability. She’s operating at another level this season and it continues to be a privilege to push her further and further into what she does best.
“And Josh always impresses me with how he can register ridiculousness in a way that lets the audience into how crazy everything is, without breaking the tension and letting it fall apart. This season, humour plays an even larger role as we explore the inherent absurdity that ensues when their secrets spill into the open.”
Wolf Like Me. Stan.
Who’s in it?
Along with Isla Fisher, Josh Gad, Édgar Ramírez and Ariel Donoghue, the new season also includes Emma Lung, Anthony Taufa and Honour Latukefu.
Former Below Deck Mediterranean bosun Ruan Irving has broken his silence and insisted that he didn’t fake his working documents.
The first episode of Below Deck Mediterraneanseason eight saw Ruan become the fastest crew member in history to be booted off the ship. Captain Sandy Yawn decided to leave the South African at the Genoa port when the photo on his yachtmaster paperwork’s was someone else.
Shortly after the debacle, Ruan found out that his close friend had tragically died, and called Captain Sandy and quit the season.
The former bosun has now taken to Instagram to explain what actually went down with his paperwork.
“The yacht masters that was the main issue, it was through a guy that worked at the school I had done my yacht masters 5 years or so ago with who I contacted and asked to extend my expiry date because of the show etc!” He began.
“I paid a fee and I got sent a back and front copy of the yacht masters with [a] new expiry date. The show started and then MCA discovered if you scan the barcode it comes up with someone else’s name and picture. Was I scammed? Most probably!! Courses were taken, Guy got paid and I ended up with a f**ked license. Period!”
While the mismatched photo was certainly the biggest red flag when it came to Ruan’s license, he didn’t have original copies of his other boating documents, either.
Boaties are required to carry original copies of their licenses when working on superyachts, but Ruan only bought along copies of certified copies.
He said that the real copies do exist and that he sent a video of them to his ex-employers.
“then the certificate issue, all my original hard copies were in South Africa. I never travel with them that’s why I get certified copies made!
“Now the show had copies of certified copies because I sent them copies as requested ( nobody ever asked for the originals till MCA came on board ) after the show I flew to Cape Town and I got my certificates and sent the show a video with all originals.”
Despite being one of the standout stars of Selling the OC, Tyler Stanaland appears to be disassociating from the franchise as he’s deleted all of his show-related posts on Instagram.
He’s even taken it one step further and unfollowed his Selling the OC BFFs, Alex Hall and Polly Brindle. Interestingly, fans of the show will know that Hall and Stanaland struck up a romance during season two and it was confirmed in the finale episode.
The potential beef appears to be a new development, as Hall held an Instagram Live on September 11 at a pool party, and all three Selling the OC stars goofed around together on camera.
Alex Hall. Instagram.
Why has Tyler distanced himself from Selling The OC?
Stanaland hasn’t addressed why he is distancing himself from the franchise, nor why he unfollowed Hall and Brindle, however, the feeling seems to be mutual from Hall’s side. The mum of two doesn’t follow Stanaland either, but Brindle still does.
Stanaland and Hall received a backlash on social media over their budding romance after Selling the OC season two was released. Stanaland had just finalised his divorce from his ex-wife Brittany Snow and hooked up with Hall before the documents were signed.
Selling the OC. Netflix.
Furthermore, while Hall and Stanaland weren’t romantically involved on camera in the first season, they were suspiciously close in a number of scenes – while he was still married. There was one particular point where Alex sat on Tyler’s lap and gave him her version of a ‘wet willy’.
While the removal of Stanaland’s Selling the OC posts could indicate his departure from the show, he does still follow The Oppenheim Group owners Jason and Brett Oppenheim. So, the online conscious uncoupling from Hall and Brindle could just be indicative of some (more) d-r-a-m-a.
Did Tyler Stanaland and Alex Hall split up?
All signs point to yes, considering the Instagram unfollowing. Plus, People recently published photos of Hall kissing a mystery man who definitely was not Stanaland. You can check them out here.
The concept of the Masked SingerAustralia is quite simple: celebrities don extensive costumes so that their identities are hidden and perform a song before a panel of judges try to guess who they are. The least popular singer – as voted by the judges and audience – must remove their costume and reveal who they are at the end of the episode.
However, according to a new theory floating around the interwebs, it’s been speculated that the performer is actually a rando, and the celebrities only appear to film their own reveals.
“The reason is they don’t want audience members to give spoilers away. They film all of the reveals, every single Masked Singer, at the start of the show before it’s even gone to air, so they have them in the bank,” TikTok user Mason Hell-Cat dished.
“The celebs go in a sound booth and record their songs. The songs are just played each week and there’s somebody inside the suit dancing around on stage, but it’s not the celeb… They just play the tape of the reveal, depending on who they want to reveal that week.”
While the theory is questionable, a follower shared some supporting information in the comments section.
“Wow! That’s how Ryan Reynolds was on Japan’s version but wasn’t even in the country for the reveal,” they wrote.
Our theory
With a whopping nine seasons of The Masked Singer America and four of The Masked Singer Australia already released, it feels as though a bombshell like this would have already been leaked if it were true.
The Masked Singer episodes are pre-recorded, which explains why some of the celebrities who’ve been revealed aren’t in the country at the time their episode airs.
Plus, to debunk the theory even further, the celebrities perform their song again after their mask has been revealed.
The Masked Singer. Ten.
Of course, who’s actually behind the costumes is one of the most compelling aspects of the show. So, a simpler explanation would be that live audience members aren’t allowed, so they don’t spoil the reveals before the episode airs.
The Masked Singer Australia Chrissie Swan has confirmed that live audience members are avoided for this reason.
“That is true, so the show goes on completely as normal. The audience sees all the performances and we are the only ones that see the reveal,” she said on The Chrissie Swan Show.
“So Linc [Lincoln Younes] and Benny [Ben O’Toole] and myself all lived with Kick [Gurry] in LA,” he said. “And we’d just go on adventures around LA and have a have a great time together.
C*A*U*G*H*T. Stan.
“And it was sort of from some silly conversations in that house. We joked about how ridiculous it would be and during COVID, Kick really sat down by himself and wrote it all down and structured these silly ideas into a much broader narrative. And from there, that was where the spirit of the show was born.”
C*A*U*G*H*T follows four Australian soldiers into a war-torn country to retrieve an important file. Once there, the soldiers are captured and a hostage video that goes viral is released. The soldiers enjoy their newfound fame and strive to work together with the captors to raise their profiles even more.
Alexander England loved watching Kick Gurry’s directorial dream come true
England said that after that the formation of C*A*U*G*H*T began to take off, he found it especially poignant seeing his friend’s professional dreams come to fruition.
“When this all started to actually happen, it was a really beautiful experience because part of this show was watching a friend’s dreams come true. Kick, wanting to be a writer and a director,” he said.
“We were watching it happen in real time and it was such a special and amazing gift to be able to actually do this crazy thing.”
The Stan Original Series C*A*U*G*H*T premieres September 28, all episodes at once and only on Stan.
My Kitchen Rules 2023 has some exceptional home chefs competing for the title, as well as others who could, well, learn a thing or two from the judges.
Their Instant Kitchen efforts and skills are reflected in their scores. In each episode, a pair of contestants take a turn cooking for the judges Manu Feildel and Colin Fassnidge as well as the other teams at their home.
After they serve up an entree, main and dessert, both the judges and fellow contestants score their effort. This figure determines where they sit on the leaderboard.
By the end of the Instant Kitchen rounds, the teams with the lowest score will be eliminated from the competition, and the rest of the contestants head over to Kitchen HQ to continue the cooking battles.
Here, Feildel and Fassnidge are joined byNigella Lawsonwho will help them decide the winner of MKR 2023 through a series of challenges and cook-offs.

My Kitchen Rules Australia 2023 continues on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights at 7.30 pm on 7 and 7plus.
It’s episode 12 of My Kitchen Rules 2023 and it’s time for Gatecrashers Patricija and Brigita’s Instant Restaurant.
While it’s their first opportunity to impress the judges, the stakes are high given that those who survive after this final cook, are off to Kitchen HQ for the finals!
With elimination looming, the sisters have to beat a score of 61 set by Amber and Mel to stay in the competition, whilst Sonia and Marcus, who scored 85 during episode 11, are hoping they’re not pipped from the top spot!
With an entirely traditional Lithuanian menu for their restaurant (and some strict instructions from their mother) Seimininke, the Brisbanites are hoping to wow everyone with flavours they’ve never tasted before.
Here’s how it all went down.
Entrée
Lithuanian Šaltibarščiai (Cold Beat Soup) with Potatoes and Dill
Judging:
Served with a whole hot potato, which lacks seasoning, Manu reveals to the table that during the kitchen visit, he noticed them using packet beetroot…
Seven
Main
Vedarai (Potato Sausage) with Bacon Sour Cream Sauce
It’s purely traditional, not served with a side, which is a miss from the judges
Dessert
Medaus Tortas (Honey Cake with a crème anglaise)
Judging
The guests and the judges are impressed with the dessert; however, everyone thinks it would have been better without the crème anglaise
It’s episode 32 of The Block 2023 and after Steph and Gian’s EPIC win during the Domain Listings Challenge, they head to the after-party at Kyle and Leslie’s.
Everything was hunky dory until a bunch of the contestants – including Leah and Ash (wut?!) and her sister Ellie who was visiting from Brisvegas – went to hang out at Eliza and Liberty’s house, who had taken themselves to bed.
Kristy notices that her BFF — well, she thinks — is missing after requesting the DJ play “their song” and she was nowhere to be found.
“Ash, where the f**k is your wife, bro?” she can be heard saying, before later adding: “I’m gonna rage.”
Nine
Finding out she has the audacity to hang out with the OTHER teams, she heads to House Five in an absolute fit of fury. Upon her arrival, she not only swears but berates Leah for being there.
“Why the f**k are you here?” Kristy says.
According to Ash, after returning to the after-party, Kristy told him: “I’ve just seen your wife, she’s dead to me!”
During her piece to the camera, Leah reveals that she didn’t speak to her “for the rest of the night. All I could think was, thank God the girls [Eliza and Liberty] went to bed!”
Nine
Firstly, Kristy’s behaviour is absolutely disgusting and secondly, the other Blockheads are shocked,
Meanwhile, unsurprisingly, Kristy sees no issue with it. Cool.
Shaken up by the confrontation, Leah and Ash wake up the following day in all sorts. Leah continues to question her friendship with Kristy and is starting to turn against her…
Meanwhile, Kristy does not GAF.
Scotty and Shelley’s Walkaround and the building continues…
During the weekly walkaround, Scotty and Shelley are concerned about Kyle and Leslie and Kristy and Brett’s MAJOR budgeting issues.
And in case you had forgotten, the Blockheads are currently working on their master ensuite bathrooms. We remind you because it seems the teams have forgotten themselves, given they are consumed by all the drama…. except for Steph and Gian — the youngest couple on The Block — who care more about their home. Praise be!
Given their win at the challenge, they have lunch with the Domain team at Grossi Florentino.
Scotty and Shelley. Nine
Leah seeks advice from her sister
Over in House Two, Ellie’svisit has drawn to a close and when Leah drives her back to the airport, she discusses her relo with Kristy.
Ellie — the only sane person it seems — tells her sister to stay true to herself, even if that means calling Kristy out. Yeah, that will end well!
When Leah arrives back at The Block she convinces herself that Kristy and Brett’s behaviour the past few weeks doesn’t align with her and Ash’s morals, and decides to confront her…
Could this be the end of Krett LeAsh?

A Friend of the Family is based on the harrowing true story of the Broberg family, the jaw-dropping, stranger-than-fiction story has stunned true crime fans for decades.
The chilling nine-episode drama, which premieres on October 25 on 7plus, explores how one family’s lives were forever altered when they meet a married father, whose interest in their eldest daughter becomes dire.
Here’s everything we know.
What is Friend of the Family about?
Over several years, the Brobergs’ eldest daughter Jan was kidnapped multiple times by a charismatic, obsessed family “friend”.
Devoted to their faith, family, and community, the Brobergs were utterly unprepared for the sophisticated tactics their manipulative neighbour used to exploit their vulnerabilities, drive them apart, and turn their daughter against them.
A Friend of the Family. 7Plus.
Who is in the cast?
The cast has some seriously big names on the bill, including Oscar Award-winner Anna Paquin (Flack, The Irishman, True Blood) and Emmy Award-nominees Jake Lacy (TheWhite Lotus, Being the Ricardos),
It also includes Colin Hanks (The Offer, Impeachment: American Crime Story) and Mckenna Grace (Ghostbusters: Afterlife, The Handmaid’s Tale).
Lio Tipton (The Edge of Sleep, Why Women Kill), Hendrix Yancey (George & Tammy, Unbelievable), Austin Stowell (The Hating Game, Three Women), Patrick Fischler (American Crime Story: Impeachment, The Right Stuff), Bree Elrod (Red Rocket) and Philip Ettinger (First Reformed, Angelyne) also star.
Is there a trailer?
There sure is! You can watch it below.
What has Jan Broberg said about the series?
Jan told TIMEthat while it was hard to relive her trauma, she and her family decided to go ahead with the show in the hope that they could help others.
“The ugly and bitter truth of insidious and pervasive child sexual abuse (1 in 4 girls, 1 in 6 boys), and the grooming tactics used by predators, is hard to talk about,” she told the publication.
“But my family and I decided to expose every awful detail, every mistake made, every subtle sign missed, in order to help even one person see what we did not. Complete transparency and vulnerability left us exposed to harsh criticism and scrutiny. I now see the bravery, honesty, vulnerability and commitment it takes to pry open the proverbial can of worms.”

What are the sexual assault allegations against Gary King?
Three other members of the production crew, who chose to remain anonymous backed Suarez’s claims in the article and alleged that Bravo tried to cover up his behaviour.
“It was insane. There were multiple incidents of sexual harassment in front of multiple producers after this person had been given verbal warnings multiple times,” one of the sources claimed.
“I had to promote and make this guy who just assaulted someone look awesome. That was my job, to make this person look cool, capable, and exciting.”
Has Gary King responded to the allegations?
Yes! He took to social media to refute the claims but deleted his post shortly after.
“It’s so weird, it’s also so far from the truth. She always wanted a platform and unfortunately, I’m the unlucky target. I’m not going to let some lying girl get to me… read that article fully, multiple times, and this happened to her on multiple seasons … seems odd,” he wrote.

Will Gary King appear in future season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht?
Gary has been a recurring BD cast member and was the First Officer in seasons two, three and four. He was joined by friends and co-stars Daisy and Colin on all three seasons.
The cast hasn’t yet been confirmed for Below Deck Sailing Yacht season five, so it’s still unknown whether he will be making a return – especially considering the allegations.

Another Shark Tank episode, another great investment by Showpo CEO Jane Lu. This time the businesswoman invested in a modern cloth nappy called Mimi & Co and has shared that she even uses it on her daughter Rosie.
Mimi & Co produce eco-friendly nappies in stylish prints that can be used by newborn babies all the way through until they’re potty trained.
Lu took to Instagram to promote the product and explain why she invested in it.
“Did you know the average baby goes through 6000 – 7000 nappies until they’re potty trained?” She began. “Not only is that so much waste created, but it’s also so much money!”
“So that’s why for my latest Shark Tank investment I’ve invested in Mimi & Co! Mimi & Co is the world’s first one-size-fits-more nappy. It fits a baby from 2.5kg to 20kg to potty training.”
“How? Look at all the buttons. Regular cloth nappies just aren’t as adjustable,” she explained.
Lu then shared a sweet clip of her daughter wearing the nappy.
“Rosie clearly loves it, I love it, and you should check out Mimi and Co for yourself,” she said.
How much did Jane Lu invest in Mimi & Co?
Mimi & Co’s founder Aami entered the Shark Tank hoping for $100,000 for a 10% equity in her company. While she did get a deal from the Sharks, as always, they opted for additional ownership.
Aami came to an agreement with Lu and Davie Fogarty to come on board for 30% equity in exchange for a $100,000 investment.

There are also individual nappies for purchase, and their prices range from $12 to $53.
As well as various nappies, Mimi & Co also sell baby accessories including wet bags, travel change mats and backpacks.
