After a tough Pressure Test on MasterChef Australia, macaron queen Rue Mupedzisadly hung up her apron and left the kitchen. She was faced with an epic challenge set by Blayne Bertoncello to create five perfect plates of his Sourdough and Strawberry with Elderflower and Balsamic dessert, and in the end, her biggest downfall was herself.
Although Rue’s strength lies in all things sweet, having a dessert Pressure Test upped the ante and caused her to crumble. “I really wanted to be confident because it was dessert, but I think I was just putting so much pressure on myself because a part of me was just thinking, ‘Oh my gosh, I can’t leave on a dessert’,” she explains.
“I [knew I had] to get everything perfect on a dish that I felt like I was supposed to shine on, like really well, because I’ve made most of those elements over 1000 times. I actually don’t think I was confident enough.”
The cook tells us she already “hated” Pressure Tests going into it, and it was “harder” knowing she should excel. “I was thinking, ‘I’m really known for desserts. I’ve made some really good desserts in the kitchen, and I really want to do well’,” she admits. “And that obviously became a bit of self-sabotage on myself because I was just putting unnecessary pressure on myself.”

In the end, while Rue’s sorbet was praised by the judges, her pastry cream was grainy and unpleasant to eat. Tim Bone was also on the chopping block, due to his thick tuilles and avant-garde emulsion, but Rue doesn’t believe she had any hope in staying after what she served up.
“I knew I was gonna go home. I didn’t think I deserved to stay more than [Tim], like, you know, he also worked really hard in that Pressure Test, and he did have a few flaws, but I feel like a bad pastry cream is like, you know you’re gonna go home,” she says. “I was very bummed, because I felt like I still had so much more to showcase, so much more to give. And unfortunately, that doesn’t always happen. I felt like, ‘Oh, I’m saving all these good dishes so that I can make them another time’, and another time never came.”
Would MasterChef Australia’s Rue return to the show?
Rue feels she needs a little more cooking experience before she jumps back into the MasterChef Australia kitchen to compete again, but if the show calls her in 2030, she might say yes.
“I just feel like I just need to get a little bit more experience under my belt… would [I] come back in two years? Most likely, no. But five years, definitely,” she promises.
Her food journey hasn’t finished with MasterChef Australia, and she has big plans for the future. “I am going to be going to Europe,” she spills excitedly. “The goal is to go to France for six months to a year and just work a little bit in pastry, because obviously I really love pastry.”

She’s going to take the skills she learns in France and bring them back to Perth, where her aim is to open a dessert bar or a patisserie. There’s no name picked out yet, but watch this space — success is headed Rue’s way.
MasterChef Australia airs on Sunday at 7pm and Monday – Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 10 and 10Play.
Drama erupted on the latest Farmer Wants A Wife 2025 episode, after Farmer Thomas informed his Ladies he had received a text message from previous contestantClaire. Original contestants Clarette and Rachael weren’t happy, with Rachael calling Claire “f**king disrespectful”.
However, Claire tells Chattr her texts to Farmer Thomas were “platonic” so she wasn’t meaning to start any drama.
“I actually just messaged him to check in on him and see how filming was going. I knew he was worried about filming during harvest so I wished him all the best,” Claire explains.
She confirms Farmer Thomas never messaged her back, and said it was “very much platonic” on her end.
She isn’t sure whether he ended up blocking her, but to be honest, it doesn’t sound like that big of a deal!
However, on the show, Clarette ended up storming off and calling Thomas a “prick” after seeing the amount of messages he apparently exchanged with Claire prior to that night.
“I believed that a line had been drawn under everything and there was no contact and I found out tonight that there has been contact and it’s that point, so, yeah, really upset. Thomas didn’t open the message, you could just see the start of the message which was ‘I’ve been thinking about you a lot…’,” Clarette said on the show.
Thomas told both Rachael and Clarette that Claire was “dead to him”, which is kind of excessive, but he was definitely in the dog box.
The most awkward conversation in the world. Image: Seven
Were Farmer Thomas and Claire flirting over text message?
In an effort to regain Clarette’s trust back, Farmer Thomas decided to show her his message history with Claire.
“We’ve been flirting a bit,” Thomas admitted. “I think it’s going to hurt you though.” As Clarette scrolled through what sounds like an excessive amount of messages, she flipped out, understandably!
“Look at how many messages there are. So when you were trying to get with me, you were still flirting with her. Everything has been a lie, everything. Like, look at all those messages,” Clarette fired out.

Thomas said that most of the messages happened the day after Claire left the farm, and he was “trying to work out what was going on”.
“Look how many messages there are, you f**king prick,” Clarette yelled, as she stormed off.
The promo for next week looks spicy, as Farmer Thomas has left the farm and his four Ladies are alone. He’ll have to come back and grovel for forgiveness, that’s for sure.
Farmer Wants a Wife airs on Monday and Tuesday nights at 7:30pm on Channel 7 and 7Plus.
In the end, Keeley and Corey denied having a rendezvous together, but Annie doesn’t totally buy it. “It’s hard to say [if they were lying], I saw what I saw, and they have their version of events, so I guess it’s kind of my word against theirs, but yeah, it’s hard to say. I don’t know what they were doing either, it was just the situation didn’t sit right with me,” Annie spills.
She assures Chattr the confrontation didn’t come from a place of “jealousy”, but more because it felt like the intruders were forced to follow rules that the original Ladies didn’t have to.
“[We didn’t have a pact] explicitly to not have sex [with Farmer Corey], it was just more of a discussion that we had, about boundaries and respect while we’re in the house together,” she explains. “I got up in the middle of the night and [Keeley] wasn’t in her bed, and then had a look and she wasn’t in the lounge either. So I checked a few different places, and I guess what was running through my head was just, I wanted to make sure I got everything right on my end.
“I guess it was disappointing that the rules maybe didn’t necessarily apply to everyone else but me and Chloe. That’s what it kind of felt like.”

While it seemed like Annie was so upset during the episode because she had feelings for Corey, she actually reveals she was planning on leaving the farm by this stage. She could see Corey had deeper connections with the other Ladies, so there wasn’t much point in sticking around.
“I definitely wasn’t jealous at all. I knew from probably a week prior that I didn’t have any feelings for him, and I felt like it wasn’t the right environment to, you know, for anything to develop. It definitely didn’t come out of jealousy at all,” she claims. “I had been thinking about [leaving] for a little bit. I was upset to leave… [but] I felt like it was taking away from my chance of finding love.”
Where do Farmer Wants A Wife’s Annie, Farmer Corey, and Keeley stand now?
Since leaving the show, Annie says she hasn’t been in contact with Farmer Corey, but surprisingly got back in touch with Keeley.
“Keeley and I [were] really close during filming. So that’s why it was a really uncomfortable thing for me to bring up,” she reveals.
“I felt like not the nicest human for bringing it up [the bed-sharing accusations]. It’s not my nature to bring up drama. I just really didn’t think it was going to go that way, [and] the reactions [were] definitely not what I was expecting from everyone.”

Annie and Keeley are now good friends, but it did take a beat for the pair to get over the hurt from tonight’s episode. “We took a bit of time, and now we’re closer than ever. We talk all the time. Keeley’s a beautiful girl, so I just wish her all the best,” Annie says.
Chattr’s resident Billion Dollar Playground insider is back to break down another episode of Binge’s new reality TV show. You can read about my experience being a guest on episodes 1 and 2 here. Here is my take on episode 3.
After a glamorous first two episodes set in Sydney Harbour’s picturesque backdrop, Billion Dollar Playgroundnow takes viewers inland to Luxico’s retreat at Sweven Estate in Cattai — an ultra-secluded luxe country escape previously graced by the likes of Ed Sheeran and Julia Roberts. After being the primary guest in the first two episodes with my glamorous friends, this episode sees a fresh new group touch down (by helicopter, no less) for a wellness and spiritual-themed immersion.

With Salvatore gone, concierge Jasmin steps into the leadership role, but not without challenges. Managing a crew under pressure, this retreat proves that being a boss isn’t always bliss.
The primary guest is Curtis, a military veteran who leads his group with precisionand expects the same in return. Their mornings are filled with sage smudging, juice shots, and ice baths (set up by everyone’s favourite sunshine boy, Jay). But it’s not all Zen and good vibes.
Laundry continued to cause drama between the Luxico team and the guests. While during our stay it was the amount of steaming, this time, the guests arrived with bags of washing and stained designer jackets to deal with. Elsie, who loves complaining about the laundry, is overwhelmed once again. Nicole is asked to jump in, but eventually Heaven has to get involved to meet the deadline before dinner (but this seemed to cause even more problems). Even then, Curtis and his fellow male guests end up standing around shirtless, waiting for their clothes (although it’s more eye candy for viewers). Curtis complains to Nicole, who makes things worse by getting his name wrong (something my group experienced too).
Curtis then calls the team out at dinner in true military style: direct, pointed, and low-key intimidating. “There hasn’t been a real clean line of communication,” he says, and it’s clear the pressure is mounting on the team. Elsie and Heaven have a bit of a blow-up, while the chefs are scrambling to meet increasingly lavish last-minute food demands — steaks for breakfast, and even a pig-on-a-spit barbecue that George admits he’s never cooked before. Eight hours of prep, no pressure.

After being the centre of conflict and drama in the previous episodes, Heaven shines as she leads the Cocoa ceremony with the guests.
Elsie and Nicole use their time in the laundry room to gossip about the guests and their fellow crew. This included making fun of Heaven and the Cocoa ceremony, and Jay’s struggles setting up the ice baths.
One of the main points of contention for the pair was the discussion of Jasmin’s leadership abilities — claiming she wants to be everyone’s friend, not their manager — and it’s a sentiment echoed by others. There’s definite friction brewing between staff expectations and what this high-stakes role actually requires.
Midway through the episode, the group is swept away to the Windsor Polo Club for an exclusive exhibition match. Hosted by Heaven and Jay, the polo event oozes countryside luxe — think champagne flutes, sunshine, and the royal treatment. Jasmin serves up an elevated drinks experience for the guests, which pairs perfectly with the lush polo backdrop. It’s one of the episode’s more serene moments — before the drama heats up again back at Sweven.

The biggest twist comes from JB, who’s meant to be serving drinks to the guests but instead sneaks off to call Alex, Luxico’s boss. On camera, JB reveals he’s vying for Jasmin’s job — and Jasmin catches the tail end. Cue one of the most awkward moments of the season so far.
The episode closes with a teaser of things to come: much to JB and Jasmin’s shock a new concierge Grace arrives, Nicole finds herself in hot water with Alex over guest feedback and the blossoming romance between Matt and Nicole heats up.
Billion Dollar Playground episodes drop weekly from May 13 on BINGE and Foxtel.
Married at First Sight (MAFS) star Ella Ding has launched a new podcast, The Ella Era — her second venture into the podcasting world following the success ofSit With Us, which she originally co-hosted with Domenica Calarco.
She is hosting The Ella Era alone, an opportunity she had longed for for years.
“It’s something that I’ve dreamt of since COVID. I always wanted my own podcast,” she told Chattr.
Ella regularly shares her journey with spirituality on Instagram and has heavily documented her experience visiting a healer in Bali. She told Chattr that her podcast will focus on health and wellness.
“It’s nothing like any other project I’ve ever worked on before or had before. It really is everything that I’m passionate about, everything I preach on my socials around health, wellness and success as well, wanting to learn how to be better.
“So it really will be focused on conversations around health and wellness, but also a big part of The Ella Era is going to be interviewing self made entrepreneurs that are successful and as well, sharing their ways on how they got there, their failures as well.
“Honestly, it’s just like everything that I love and learn about on a day-to-day basis, but bringing it to a platform so others can learn from it, too.”

How The Ella Era will be different from Sit With Us
Ella’s touched on how Sit With Us focused a lot on reality TV and her and Domenica’s personal lives, and said that while she still wants to open up about her life in The Ella Era, the podcast will take a different route in general.
“Sit With Us was very much reality TV, like pop culture, you know, a bit gossipy. It definitely will be completely different to that podcast.
“I think for Sit with Us, we shared a lot of our lives on that platform, which I still will continue to share, because I think that’s so important. Being in the public eye, it’s important to share a lot to make your listeners feel like they’re not alone, and that we aren’t that different.”
Sit With Us quickly gained a massive following, but was abruptly pulled after Ella and Dom faced backlash over an interview with MAFS‘ Jack Dunkley and Tori Adamswhere they talked about comments Jack had made about Lauren Dunn at a MAFS Dinner Party. Both women wanted to handle the pushbackdifferently, which led to the cancellation of the podcast and a friendship falling out, and they are are no longer on speaking terms.
While Ella didn’t want to focus on the fallout, she said she’ll take lessons from her first pod and implement them into The Ella Era.
“I think with any business venture you do tend to learn lessons along the way,” she said.

Will Ella’s pregnancy be a main part of Ella’s Era?
While Ella and Guy discussed her pregnancy in episode one, she told Chattr that she’d started forming the podcast before she’d found out she was pregnant, and it won’t specifically be a podcast about pregnancy.
“The podcast and the pregnancy are very much like two separate journeys,” Ella said.
“I think naturally that will come with it, you know, just natural, organic check-ins with how the pregnancy is going.
“I would definitely love to get on maybe a with a midwife or even my Doula because, before falling pregnant for myself, like, I’ve never really gone out of my way to teach myself anything about it. So there’s a lot that I’m learning that’s like, whoa. It’s quite overwhelming.
“I think being a young woman and going through this phase of life, like there’s so much information out there, especially on the Instagrams and the TikToks, it’s so easy to get caught in this rabbit hole. So I think it could be really cool to kind of put that stuff aside and actually get a specialist on in that specific area.
The promo for the next Farmer Wants A Wife 2025 episode looks spicy, with intruder Annie accusing Keeley of sleeping with Farmer Corey. It’s already a weird situation, with all the Ladies living together on the farm, but when you add sex into the mix? That would get messy, quickly. So, do the Farmer Wants A Wife contestants have sex, and how do they find a private moment to do the deed? We spoke to some ex-contestants to get the inside intel on what really goes down on the farms.
Ellen Dunger, who was competing for Farmer Todd Melbourne’s heart in 2024, tells Chattr that no sex took place on their farm. However, it varies from farm to farm.
“Apparently last year it was a done thing and multiple girls slept with their farmers. Not on our farm though! From what I heard, it was during the 24-hour date scenarios where they are not around the other girls,” Ellen spills.
“Everyone has STI checks before [going on the show], they do have consent regulations. I didn’t get a proper solo date, so I don’t know the ins and outs, but I know they have to consent and record it on camera. And they have condoms on hand,” she adds.

It doesn’t sound very romantic, but I guess that’s what happens when you’re filming a reality TV show. Farmer Todd’s winner Daisy Lamb confirms there was no sex on their farm, but says other farmers on the Farmer Wants A Wife 2024 season definitely slept with some of the women.
“There [are] farmers who choose not to sleep with the women, however there are girls who have the opinion that they need to ‘try before they buy’ sort of thing,” Daisy explains. “I would have left if Todd did that, but I know other Farmers on our season slept with multiple women.”
Krissy reveals she had sex with Farmer Tom throughout the entire show
“We had a sexual relationship right up until the day I was told he was not going to choose me in that finale. You could imagine how shocked I was to be sidelined at that point,” she said. “We had lay in bed talking at night and I couldn’t have imagined he would pick anyone else.”

Farmer Tom ended up picking Sarah Cranley as his winner, but they didn’t last long. Perhaps she found out about the way he treated Krissy? In an Instagram post, she hinted that Tom hadn’t been completely honest.
“Relationships don’t always work and people are not always who you think they are,” she spilled. It can get messy when sex with multiple people is on the table! Let this be a lesson to all future Farmer Wants A Wife contestants.
Farmer Wants a Wife airs on Monday and Tuesday nights at 7:30pm on Channel 7 and 7Plus.
Tonight’s episode of Farmer Wants A Wife 2025was filled with tears as Farmer Tompicked Georgie over Eliza in an emotional moment. Rumours have since emerged that Tom has swapped his winner pick for Eliza, so we’ve done some digging to see whether or not the pair are still together in 2025.
Eliza breaks silence on her current relationship with Farmer Tom
In a TikTok, Eliza finally addressed the rumours about whether or not she is currently living with Farmer Tom on his farm. “I am not living on the farm and I’m not working near the farm, I’m in Melbourne, I’m in Melbourne, and yeah. After final decision, Tom and I didn’t rekindle a relationship, we didn’t speak,” she said.
“We haven’t [spoken] since, and there isn’t any truth to that rumour… so yeah, I guess the moral of the story is I will never be somebody’s second choice or second option, so we can put any rumours to bed that I’ll ever be on the farm, I’m not there, I will never be there, Tom made his pick and it wasn’t me,” she added.
What was Farmer Tom’s final decision?
After Farmer Tom met both Eliza and Georgie’s families, both Ladies seemed absolutely smitten with the bloke. However, Tom had to break one of their hearts.
The Farmer broke down in tears as he let Eliza down gently, saying: “You have so much love to give, and I truly believe you deserve to find someone to give you that much love back. Sorry Eliza, but I’ve fallen for someone else.”
Eliza was left heartbroken. Image: Seven
Eliza broke down in tears as she walked away, and she didn’t hide how disappointed she was.
“I’m a bit heartbroken, it’s hard to hear,” she said. “I came in today feeling hopeful and [I’m] disappointed and yeah.”
It seems as though he’s found his one true love with Georgie, however, as he told her his feelings have become extremely strong.
“I’m excited to take the next step in this and I’ve fallen really hard and fast for you, Georgie, I’m totally in love with you,” he said.
Georgie told him she feels exactly the same way, and called Farmer Wants A Wife the “best experience” of her life.

Does Farmer Tom swap Georgie for Eliza?
There are rumours that while Farmer Tom picked Georgie, it was actually Eliza who has moved to the farm. Former FWAW star Daisy Lamb shared that a neighbour DM’d her some spicy information.
“It’s come from multiple sources that Tom picks Georgie,” Daisy tells Chattr. “However, one of his neighbours near him actually messaged me and said that Eliza had moved to the farm and is working as a teacher there.
“So I’m not too sure whether he does pick one girl and changes his mind and goes to the other, I’m not too sure, but that was a major update spoiler.”

Wonder if Georgie will speak out like Emma did after the show to share her side of the story? We need all the goss!
Another insider claims Georgie and Farmer Tom are still together in 2025
However, a separate Farmer Wants A Wife source was on the same page as Eliza and told Chattr this rumour about Farmer Tom swapping his Ladies isn’t true.
In fact, it’s believed that Tom is still with Georgie and they are happily in a relationship after the show.
“He’s with Georgie and they’re still together. I don’t know where that rumour started with Eliza, but that’s not true at all,” the insider spills.
“Eliza is doing her thing and is going alright.”
We’ll just have to see what happens once the contestants are able to post on social media again!

Farmer Tom is being replaced by intruder Farmer Jack L: who is he?
Farmer Jack L from Tasmania has just arrived to replace Farmer Tom as the new intruder Farmer. It will be interesting to see how his new set of Ladies shakes things up!
Jack was included in the original casting notice posted by Seven in 2024, and we know a few things about him from his intro video.
He’s a dairy farmer from Sheffield in Tasmania, and “being on the land” is a “non-negotiable” for him.
His dream date would be going to the pub, which doesn’t sound very romantic… but he also loves a spot of karaoke.
“If I could find a girl that could do some harmonies, that would be pretty cool,” he said.
His owner Shelley posted a tribute to the pup on Instagram, saying: “I have lost my Buddy. We did so many fun things together over the years. His time on Home and Away was definitely the highlight for him and me. He loved going more than anything.
“We had a final trip to the beach planned but he just didn’t make it. He left peacefully at home in his bed while I held him. I have lost a big piece of my heart.”
Cast and crew members were quick to comment, with Lynne McGranger, who played Irene Roberts for 33 years, saying: “Oh I am so sorry to read this. Beautiful buddy.”
“Sending you so much love. The goodness boy ever,” added Sophie Dillman, who is known as Ziggy Astoni.
“Awww buddy,” wrote a former second Assistant Director.

One fan also joked that Buddy was “the best actor” on the show. “He was the best thing in Home and Away for many years. By far the best actor. He was an amazing dog and may he rest in peace and enjoy his time over the rainbow bridge,” they wrote.
Buddy was hired through Kirsko Film Animals, a company that provides animals for Film and TV work. The company has supplied animals for movies such as The Great Gatsby, Fury Road, Wolverine, and a variety of TV commercials.
Did the cast of Home and Away like working with Buddy?
James previously told New Idea Buddy the dog was intelligent. According to the actor, Buddy “always [knew] his lines, always [knew] his cues”. He also “recognise[d] and love[d] the Morgan family as if they were part of his own family in real life”. Awww.
The famous canine had plenty of experience before nabbing the role on Home and Away, making appearances in multiple TV commercials before his big break.
He hasn’t been seen on screen in a long time, but the characters will still mention him from time to time. It’s possibly due to his declining health, and it’s not known at this stage if there will be another dog taking over the role.
From team-based Service Challenges to the highly intricate Pressure Tests, MasterChef Australiacontestants face a wide range of demanding tasks, and fan-favourite Rhiannon Anderson has revealed to Chattr which one she finds the toughest.
While some tests, such as the Themed Challenges and Mystery Boxes, require contestants to cook from memory, the Pressure Tests come with a recipe to follow. However, despite being given the steps for a Pressure Test, Rhiannon told Chattr she always found it the hardest challenge.
“I think Pressure Tests are the most stressful because you’re following someone’s recipe and you’ve got to stay in it. And for me, I’m not a recipe follower. I make up things, if you know what I mean. My brain’s a little bit chaotic. So, for me to stay in someone’s recipe for hours on end is probably my biggest struggle,” she said in a post elimination interview.

Contestants are always given a time limit for MasterChef challenges and while some can be as quick as twenty minutes, the cook time for Pressure Tests is generally hours. But, because the recipe is so complex, Rhiannon said that the time absolutely flies.
“Honestly, you’re just cooking along, and you’re running! Sometimes I stop and I’m like, ‘Oh my god, I’m not even breathing’, because it’s kind of like you’re just so panicked to get everything done. It definitely gets you,” she explained.
“You walk out and you go, I have no idea what the judge has said to me. I have no idea what happened. I don’t know what I just put up as a dish, but honestly, it’s all a blur, the whole thing,” she added.

Rhiannon’s favourite MasterChef Australia challenge
While the thought of cooking a dish for judges Andy Allen, Sofia Levin, Poh Ling Yeow and Jean-Christophe Novelli with unknown ingredients may send most people into an anxiety spiral, Rhiannon is firmly not in that camp.
She listed her favourite challenge as the Mystery Box, which involves the contestant whipping up a dish from surprise ingredients chosen by the judges, or guest judge.

“I love the unknown. I love being thrown produce that I just have to do something with. To me, the Mystery Box is my absolute favourite. I love it,” she said.
We’re going to miss Rhiannon’s enthusiasm around the MasterChef Australia 2025 kitchen!
MasterChef Australia airs on Sunday at 7pm and Monday – Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 10 and 10Play.
If you’re anything like me, your feed has been completely taken over by The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping casting application videos. They range from silly and bizarre — one person auditioned as Beetee’s potato — to serious monologues and performances.
However, the Sunrise on the Reaping fan casting contest isn’t what it seems. A quick look at the Terms and Conditions on Liongate’s website will crush many dreams — especially in Australia.
The original casting call stated that a lucky fan would be selected for a role in Sunrise on the Reaping, and said the winner doesn’t need to have acting experience. “To audition, show us your best: act out a scene, perform a song, or surprise us with something completely new. All talents welcome. No previous experience necessary. Each video entry must be one minute or less,” the post reads.
Your turn.
This is an official casting call: one lucky fan will be selected for a role in Sunrise on the Reaping.
To audition, show us your best: act out a scene, perform a song, or surprise us with something completely new. All talents welcome. No previous experience… pic.twitter.com/s4G3pcNBVq
While this seemed like it was an open casting call, the Terms and Conditions reveal that you have to be a legal resident of the United States of America, be at least 18 years old, and have a valid US passport. This is super disappointing, especially since the lead role of Haymitch Abernathy is being played by none other than Australian Joseph Zada! Justice for SOTR Aussie fans!!!
The prize isn’t a major role either, and the lucky winner might not even appear on screen. To be fair, the winner will still get to visit the Sunrise on the Reaping set with a guest, but the role up for offer isn’t that juicy.
“[The winner has] the possibility… to appear in the picture, including potentially in the background as a non-speaking ‘walk-on’ in the picture during the set visit, subject to the winner’s eligibility, availability and any other conditions,” the rules state. The total value of this prize is $4100 USD (approximately $6285 AUD), and while it isn’t as incredible as you first think, a set visit would be pretty amazing.

Fans criticise Sunrise on the Reaping casting contest
On Reddit, some fans took to the Hunger Games subreddit to complain about the competition.
“So ridiculous. It’s always exclusive to the States which sucks,” one person wrote.
“It’s like the US is the Capitol and people in the rest of the world are from the districts,” another complained.
“I’m heartbroken. It would be a dream come true,” a Canadian wrote.
Another noted that it wasn’t a “real extra casting call” but a “competition and PR stunt” to promote the movie. The strategy seems to be paying off, so kudos to Lionsgate’s marketing team!
Who is in the cast of The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping?
The cast of The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping is absolutely stacked. We have Joseph as Haymitch, Ralph Fiennes as President Snow, Jesse Plemons as Plutarch Heavensbee, Mckenna Grace as Maysilee Donner, Lily Taylor as Mags Flanagan, Elle Fanning as Effie Trinket, Maya Hawke as Wiress, Kieran Culkin as Caesar Flickerman, Kelvin Harrison Jr. as Beetee Latier, Whitney Peak as Lenore Dove Baird, Molly McCann as Louella McCoy, Iona Bell as Lou Lou and Ben Wang as Wyatt Callow.
When does The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping movie come out in Australia?
The Sunrise on the Reaping movie will be released in Australia on November 20, 2026. It’s going to be a huge event, especially since an Aussie is in the title role.
Is there a Sunrise on the Reaping movie trailer?
Not yet! We’ve had a small promo video when the movie was announced, and it looks like it will be epic. As someone who has read the book, I can’t wait!
We’ll make sure to update this as soon as more details are dropped.
Sunrise on the Reaping will be released on November 20, 2026
Former FWAW contestant Daisy Lambis “worried”for the current Farmer Wants A Wife 2025 Ladies after seeing how much impact producers have on storylines. Daisy, who is still happily with Farmer Todd, has been outspoken about her “villain edit” from 2024 and is concerned for the well-being of current and future contestants.
She tells Chattr the producers on her season were “hot off MAFS” and were “pretty open about chasing storylines”. Not exactly what you’d expect from the most wholesome reality TV show in Australia!
“The drama does sell, so people tune in and they need someone to love and they need someone to hate,” Daisy explains. “On our farm, the producers sort of gave Grace the angel edit, and they gave me the villain edit just purely because I was more outspoken, and I would be the one to actually say how I’m feeling and how that sort of affected me.”
She recalls crying during every episode that aired in 2024, and said it was an “awful” time. “It was not only awful for me, but awful for our friends, awful for our family, awful for Todd, because that’s not who we are,” she says. “I got sucked into a rabbit hole… because I’m part of all the groups. And you do, you sit there, and you read about yourself, and you think, is that actually true?”

Daisy believes the “duty of care is null and void” when it comes to production on Farmer Wants A Wife, and this concerns her, especially when she’s seeing contestants like Clarette on Farmer Thomas’ farm receiving the same “villain edit”.
“[Production doesn’t] care. They care about the storyline, they care about the edit, and they care about views,” she claims. “I think I just worry about the next women on the show and a lot of them do reach out to me, because I have been quite outspoken.”
“[Production is] really, really big on protecting Farmer Wants A Wife, but they’re not big on protecting their cast members, I suppose, which is a real shame.”
Farmer Wants A Wife’s Farmers don’t have as much at stake as the Ladies
It’s true that on Farmer Wants A Wife, it tends to just be women who receive “villain edits”, and the Farmers can usually do no wrong. They’re the heroes of the story, after all.
“If couples don’t work out, the Farmers, they go back to their life, they don’t really lose much, but it’s the women who have sacrificed so much that they lose everything,” Daisy explains. “There’s so much pressure, I suppose, for the women on the farm from all of Australia… [The Farmers] get put in this beautiful light. You know, it’s their love story. They’re trying to look for someone. It’s just that women that unfortunately, like, we get chucked into this like, demon light.”

Daisy tells us she’s so outspoken and shares spoilers about the show to try and put a dent in ratings, so producers will have no choice but to go back to a more wholesome format, which was a lot nicer than the MAFS-styled format today.
“They started chasing ratings, and they started chasing drama… so they’re running off a high and thinking [everything is] okay, even though there’s been several complaints throughout filming,” she says. “I have no loyalty to them at all anymore.”
We’ll have to wait and see if there are any changes to Farmer Wants A Wife in the future, but it sounds like that would be a positive shift.
Farmer Wants a Wife airs on Monday and Tuesday nights at 7:30pm on Channel 7 and 7Plus.
Awhina posted a TikTok trend on May 22 to announce that Jacqui had restricted her on the platform, captioning the video, “Can I still come to the wedding?”.
The short clip had many of Awhina’s followers asking the same question: Why did Jacqui block her? And Awhina has told us the answer.
“I’m still blocked,” she told Chattr. “I don’t hate Jacqui; it was a trend on [TikTok] and relevant because I am blocked.”
“But she blocked me because she called me a mean girl in a post, and I responded with receipts, and then, because I have more credibility, to her, it’s easier to block.”
“In saying that, I don’t want to start an online feud with Jacqui. If I see something I don’t agree with, I’ll reply, but my [TikTok] isn’t really that deep, it was just a trend.”
Awhina was referencing a heated social media exchange between the two brides, which hit a boiling point when she claimed Jacqui should have been matched with her estranged ex, AdrianAraouzou. Jacqui responded by calling Awhina “jealous” of her relationship with ClintRice.

MAFS’ Awhina responds to Jacqui’s TikTok video about blocking “trolls”
Shortly after Awhina posted on TikTok about being blocked, Jacqui took to the platform to share an ambiguous clip about blocking people to protect her peace.
“It really annoys me about social media is when people are so desperate to get a following that they use your name and try to troll you or criticise you or pick a fight with you just to gain popularity,” she pointedly said.
“At first, I tried to argue. I realised, like, giving them airtime doesn’t serve anyone. They’re a troll, and you shouldn’t be giving them airtime. So then I went to blocking them. And now, when someone tries to engage with me and criticise me, I literally just block trolls,” she added.
When asked about Jacqui’s video, Awhina pointed out that Jacqui was highly active on social media while MAFS was airing, and hosted regular Q&As with her followers about the show.
“Jacqui, for 12 weeks, when no one had social media besides you and my ex, it’s all you did was talk MAFS for traction,” she said, adding: “Pot kettle black.”
The news was first reported by New Idea, with television insiders pegging Jamie as a “must-have” for an upcoming season. “She was their top pick,” the source claimed. “They loved her strength, her vulnerability, and the United Kingdom is obsessed with her story post-MAFS. She would’ve been perfect.”
Jamie tells Chattr while she was approached to be on a reality TV show, Eliot had nothing to do with her decision to turn it down.
“I was contacted about potentially [doing] another [TV] show. I wasn’t told what the show was,” she spills. “But I can’t work on another TV series outside of the network, so any show that approaches me is going to have a no.
“I didn’t say no because [of] Eliot, I didn’t know what the show is. That could be a speculation. They didn’t actually tell me what it was. But also, why the hell would I be doing SAS? I ain’t built for that shit,” she adds.
The reality TV star recalls a moment on her MAFS honeymoon where she was successfully able to paddle a kayak, and jokes that was her “living on the edge”. So no, she wouldn’t be a fit for SAS!

Is MAFS’ Jamie Marinos planning on doing another reality TV show?
Jamie is open to doing more reality TV shows, and reveals she’s interested in doing Big Brother. She could get tips from Big Brother alum and MAFS castmate Teejay Halkias!
“I do think something where it’s more social, so again like Big Brother, I could do Big Brother, not the fear challenges though, like talking to someone,” she muses. “But the whole being trapped in a room, I’d become a massive bitch, I’d be so cranky.”
It doesn’t look like she will be joining I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! or Survivor, even though we’d all love to see Jamie in the jungle somewhere.
“Everyone really wants to see me doing some wild adventure show, which I’m like, I’m useless with all that stuff. I’m like a princess, I need electricity and my skincare and stuff like that, and I’m a pedantic person with food. So I feel like I’d be no fun in the jungle, but I’d make for great ratings,” she admits.
Hear me out… Awhina and Jamie on The Amazing Race Australia! Image: Nine
“I always say I don’t [even] eat chicken thigh. Like, I’m so basic. I love my cooking, I would struggle even, I remember [at] the Dinner Parties sometimes, [I’d think] ‘what the fuck is this’?”
Look, I know we haven’t had The Bachelorette on our screens for a while, but if there’s anyone who deserves love after MAFS, it’s Jamie. So could we please make that happen?!
Jacqui, who’s represented by Marta Wiacek at Markson Sparks, told Chattr that she and Clint signed with the agency to expand their brand into the lifestyle and sports realm.
“Being focused on professional golf and business, we’re both well invested in building strong, lasting brands. We are not just ‘TV personalities’ and needed an agency that could manage our brands as professional sports players, business owners, as well as being a well-known, highly entertaining, engaged TV couple (with a love story and family plans which fans are invested in),” she said.

“Joining Max and Marta at Markson Sparks was an easy decision — they’re Australia’s most well-renowned PR and media titans, known for representing some of the country’s most recognised talent across all industries, including our key ones — sport (golf) and television. We’re delighted to be joining a legacy team.”
Sounds like it’s just a matter of time until we see Jacqui teeing off at a golf course!
Max told Chattr that they’re delighted to have Clint and Jacqui onboard and will work to continue the huge growth in their social followings.
“We’re so excited to be representing Jacqui and Clint, who have a very bright future ahead of them. With an incredible social media presence of over 350,000 followers since coming off MAFS, we’re looking forward to seeing their brands develop and their profiles continue to rise,” he said.
Who else from MAFS 2025 has signed with a talent agency?
The MAFS 2025 cast hasn’t wasted any time signing on the dotted line with talent managers. Since the season wrapped, CarinaMirable, JamieMarinos, Eliot Donovan and AdrianAraouzou have all signed with an agency.
Adrian signed with Roxy Jacenko‘s company, Ministry of Talent, in May. However, he was dropped a week later and told Chattr that he believed it was due to the backlash she received for signing him.
“I can understand [Roxy’s] point of view [if she received] backlash. People hate seeing people do good and unfortunately, a lot of people will do the most to make sure I don’t,” he says.
“The consensus from most of the cast that spoke about this was that it was really unprofessional from the agency’s end, because they knew what they were getting when they signed Adrian,” the insider said.
We’ve already seen Farmer Jarrad choose Chloe over Ashlee early on in the season, and Farmer Tom made his decision this week. Chattr had intel that Tom would pick Georgie, which turned out to be correct, so we’re feeling confident about our sources!
We’ve reached out to former contestants, insider sources from Farmer Wants A Wife 2025 and scoured message boards to bring you the latest and up-to-date info. Obviously, there are spoilers included below, so it’s up to you if you want to keep scrolling!
Let’s take a look at all the leaked Farmer Wants A Wife 2025 winners below.
Has Farmer Thomas’ winner leaked and are they still together?
“Clarette ends up with Thomas,” Daisy told Chattr. “I do think they’re still together [since the show ended]. I was told by a couple of the girls from Thomas’ farm that Clarette is actually living at the farm. She is a teacher, so I’m assuming that she’s relocated and she’s working at a school there.”
Farmer Thomas and Clarette. Image: Seven
Chattr found a school newsletter from a school in Wudinna which shows Clarette started teaching there in 2025, meaning she has likely relocated to be with Thomas.
Assistant Principal-Secondary Jamiee Bensen made the announcement, saying: “I would like to welcome Clarette into our Secondary Teaching cohort for 2025. Clarette (Miss G) joins us from New South Wales and originally from England. She is a specialist English teacher and we look forward to the expertise she will bring to our classes.”
Despite Daisy claiming Clarette has had the “villain edit”, the pair actually do seem quite smitten with each other and appear to go the distance.
Has Farmer Corey’s winner leaked and are they still together?
The Optometrist from Victoria has had undeniable chemistry with Corey, so the majority of fans will be pleased with his choice. “It’s come from a couple of girls that Corey picks Keeley,” Daisy said. “But someone says he’s now single.”

Oh no! We were rooting for these two. There’s still hope, however, because Daisy warned fans not to take her sources as gospel.
“But again you just don’t know whether to believe the rumours or not until the show ends. This is all alleged spoilers! I never know if people are leading me down the garden path or not with their messages… we’ll just have to wait and see,” she added.
Has Farmer Jack’s winner leaked and are they still together?
Farmer Jack’s winner has not leaked yet, and we’re yet to even see him pick the five ladies to return to his farm with him.
Don’t worry, we’re working on finding out the answer for you and will update this as soon as we hear more!

Are Farmer Tom and Georgie still together?
After Farmer Tom picked Georgie as his winner, Eliza was left heartbroken and in tears. While there were rumours that Eliza was spotted living at the farm with Tom instead of Georgie recently, an insider told Chattr this wasn’t the case.
So for all of you Tom and Georgie fans, the couple seem to be very much in love and still together to this day.

“He’s with Georgie and they’re still together. I don’t know where that rumour started with Eliza, but that’s not true at all,” the source claimed. “Eliza is doing her thing and is going alright.”
Are Farmer Jarrad and Chloe still together?
Farmer Jarrad chose Chloe early on in the season and the couple looked like they were getting their happy ending.
However, their future doesn’t seem too bright. Chloe doesn’t follow Jarrad on Instagram, and some fans think the country singer is after fame rather than a wife. He’s certainly been milking the publicity opportunities, recently performing at Chattahoochees to a packed audience.
The Daily Mail also said Jarrad went out and acted very single in January 2025, and didn’t care who saw him flirt up a storm. “He didn’t act like someone in a relationship,” the source said. “He was chatting up women left and right. He even joked about being ‘done with dating shows’. Honestly, it seemed like he was single or just didn’t care who saw.”
Ouch. We’ll have to see what happens during the Farmer Wants A Wife reunion episode!
Farmer Wants a Wife airs on Monday and Tuesday nights at 7:30pm on Channel 7 and 7Plus.
Love Triangle 2025 saw Original Suitor Payton offered two Singles to date: Dante and Jordan. She initially formed a stronger connection with Jordan, and the pair moved in together.
However, as the premise of Love Triangle goes, Dante later moved into the house with Payton and Jordan, and while there were some hiccups along the way, the trio seemed to form a good connection. Payton ended up picking Jordan at the Final Decision, but things went south when she was shown a vile comment he made about her at the Reunion, and the couple split straight after.
So, does Payton wish she had picked Dante? We went straight to the source and asked Payton herself, and she gave us an update on where she and Dante stand now.

Are Love Triangle’s Dante and Payton together?
While Payton only had positive things to say about Dante, she doesn’t think they would have worked out as a couple if she had picked him over Jordan.
“I think that Dante and I weren’t necessarily right for each other either,” she told Chattr.
She went on to share an exciting update about Dante’s current relationship status.
“I think that Dante is an incredible person and that he is absolutely wonderful, but he’s — I’m not speaking for him — but he’s with someone right now, and he’s really happy.”
“He lives far away from where I am, and who’s to say that, like, long distance might have worked, but I wasn’t ready to move, that’s the thing.”
“He’s with someone who’s from his town, and he’s really happy, and I would have stopped that for him, you know. So everything happens for a reason, and I think he’s in a place that’s really good for him.”
Payton confirmed that she and Dante are still really good friends and said they stay in contact.

Are Jordan and Dante still friends?
At the Love Triangle Reunion, viewers heard Dante sing Payton and Jordan’s praises.
“I’m genuinely happy for them. At the end of it, I came out with love for both of these guys. So if they’re happy together, I’m sincerely happy for both of them,” he said.
So, are Dante and Jordan still friends after his shocking comment about Payton?
“I’m unsure, I think [Dante] was trying to maintain a friendship with Jordan,” Payton told us.
Dante deserves better!

What was Jordan’s controversial comment about Payton at the Love Triangle Reunion?
As we already know, Jordan said some pretty horrible things about Payton during the first Dinner Party.
“Fuck you man, you know I’m not attracted to that,” Jordan said to someone, about Payton. “I asked for small, tanned, ethnic… She is the complete opposite in every single thing.
“Literally any other girl here I would be into,” he continued. “If I fucked her or whatever then I’m like even more of a fuckwit. Like, there’s just no way I’m not looking like an arsehole after this, dude.”
If you thought it was impossible for Jordan to sink any lower, we’ve got bad news. Love Triangle Reunion host Chrishell Stause told Chattr that there were even more comments Jordan made that didn’t air.
“I actually wish they left this part in. He made some comment about Peyton on the F ability factor of one to 10, and it was so disgusting. It was so gross,” she revealed.
“And so I said, Okay, Jordan, where do you think you fall on that list? And you know, of course, then he shrinks back. And you know, he’s a big, tough guy when you know he’s speaking, but now in front of everyone, where he has to basically own up to his actions, he kind of shrank away.”
Chrishell added that while it was “really hard” to watch Payton see Jordan’s comment for the first time, she’s glad that Payton learnt the truth.
“I wanted her to see the video,” she said. “I know the public’s going to get behind her, and I hope it makes her feel herself and find that self-worth that I really want for her so that she never puts up with this behaviour again.”
This year on Married At First Sight (MAFS) 2025, fans were convinced Jamie Marinos and Dave Hand were the real deal… until he promptly switched gears and decided he “didn’t hate the girl”, and went pretty cold. He’s made some comments about his ex since getting his social media back, and an insider tells Chattr they haven’t been received well.
ICYMI, Jamie has been heavily linked with Eliot Donovan, but she was intimate with Dave on the show and also slept with Teejay Halkias years ago. In an Instagram Q&A, Dave addressed Jamie’s new relationship with Eliot and threw in some shady comments.
“Honestly I don’t have any thoughts on it. I don’t care. But I highly doubt she’s going to sleep with three cast members from this year’s season, I think it’s just a TikTok, Instagram thing whatever they’re doing. But good luck to them,” Dave declared.
It’s quite a loaded statement, and an insider says Jamie wasn’t pleased when she heard about Dave’s “awful” comments.
“Jamie was in Queensland for an appearance when she saw that , she was really upset,” the source spills. “She didn’t appreciate the shame — if she wanted to sleep with everyone on MAFS, that’s her prerogative, not that she necessarily would.”

“Dave didn’t want to be in the relationship, so they both left, they’re both at peace. So if she finds someone else or is moving on with someone else, why not let her?”
The insider adds that the MAFS bride felt the comment was “very disappointing”, because even though the pair are no longer in contact, there had been mutual “respect” between them.
“They hadn’t spoken about each other, and so for that comment to be made on such a public [platform] was really disappointing,” the source says.
Where do Jamie and Dave stand after MAFS?
Even though Jamie and Dave broke up prior to the MAFS reunion, the exes stayed in touch while the show first started airing.
“They were in contact for most of the show airing, and then once Jamie and Dave started to fall apart, they switched to no contact and haven’t spoken since,” our source claims.
Jamie didn’t hold back during the reunion dinner. Image: Nine
During the reunion, Jamie lifted a lid on Dave’s behaviour, saying: “He just can never be honest with how he’s feeling, ever. It’s just so frustrating because it’s like I had to initiate the breakup, I had to initiate the conversation like he’s not into me.
“He strung me along… and he’s done it to me twice. It’s just really sad because it was real for me and he just couldn’t figure out how to tell me.”
It doesn’t look like there will be a fairytale ending for these two after all, and that’s probably for the best.
With only two more undecided Farmers left in the mix, a third is being brought in, Farmer Jack, and he has a whole bunch of new Ladies to choose from.
Prior to applying for the show, the FWAW Ladies watched videos about eight potential Farmers who could be starring on the show. They picked their favourite Farmer and applied themselves.
After that, the four Farmers were cast, as well as eight potential matches for them. Those ladies were whittled down to five on the first night, when each Farmer chose to send three of his potential matches home.
The remaining five Ladies then moved in on their Farmers’ farm, where they will have had time to get to know each other better. As the Farmer’s journey continues, they’ll eliminate FWAW Ladies until they’re left with their final pick, who will hopefully be their forever love!
Meet the FWAW Ladies who the Farmers chose to bring back to their farms.

Farmer Wants a Wife 2025 airs Mondays and Tuesdays on Channel 7 and 7Plus.
MasterChef Australia 2025 has delivered not only a feast of mouthwatering dishes but also some genuinely sweet friendships, most notably the heartwarming bond between Jimmy Wong and Audra Morrice.
Their close relationship was highlighted when Jimmy was eliminated during the Pressure Test which aired on May 20. As his elimination was announced, the camera panned to Audra, who was in tears.
“I fell in love with him the moment I met him. He’s just such a generous spirit. He’s always smiling, such a wonderful cook. He’s got such natural instincts, and everything comes from his heart. I think he is incredible,” she said.
Now, Jimmy has opened up about the beautiful connection he built with Audra during his time on MasterChef Australia Back to Win 2025.
“It was emotional because it was so heartfelt. Very lucky to have those words from Audra,” Jimmy told Chattr of Audra’s on-screen comment.

“We are such good friends because we share so many similar values when it comes to cooking, really cooking from the heart, and our culture. And it was amazing to hear [that] from her. We’ve become great friends. “
Jimmy explained that he and Audra had met in passing before MasterChef Back to Win filmed, but being on the show together cemented their friendship.
“We met before when she had a book launch and a few other circumstances, like acquaintances, but it wasn’t until this particular season that we really bonded.”
Jimmy added that his and Audra’s friendship is still going strong after the show, and said they keep in touch regularly.
“She is absolutely a beautiful soul. But what’s even more lovely is that we are kind of discovering food in our heritage and our culture together. And it’s so lovely to be able to travel this journey with her.”
Awww!

What’s next for Jimmy after MasterChef Australia Back to Win?
While Jimmy told Chattr he was disappointed to be out of the running early on in the piece, he said he’s excited to continue his career in food outside of the show.
“I love discovering the stories behind food. So through photography, through my collaborations and content creation, I’m able to sort of discover and tell those stories, and that’s what I hope to continue.

“Post MasterChef is definitely continuing with my food photography and collaborations with some brands,” he added.
“So right now, there are a lot of food brands that I’m working with and I couldn’t ask for anything better, because it allows me to discover all these amazing stories behind food.”
Jimmy will be missed on MasterChef Australia, but we can’t wait to follow his journey outside of the show.
MasterChef Australia airs on Sunday at 7pm and Monday – Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 10 and 10Play.
She tells Chattr she’s actually “in negotiations” to find the best talent agency that suits her, and hopes to make some big moves. It’s what she deserves after how Dave Hand treated her on the show!
“I’m actually in negotiations, so I have been lucky, I’ve had a lot of agencies reach out. I think I’m a little bit more pedantic. Coming from corporate, I think I’m a lot more nitpicky,” Jamie reveals.
“I’m in the process of signing with an agency, we’re just doing a few negotiations. I’m also potentially looking at having an agent on board in the UK as well.”

Jamie tells us she “feels a pull to the UK” and wants to “spend more time overseas”, so could she be following in Lucinda Light’s footsteps? Lucinda has gone on to rack up 643K followers on Instagram alone, and now hosts Channel 4’s Honesty Box. Not too shabby for just a year after MAFS.
“I remember when I was in the experiment, I was always wanting to like, be big in the UK. I don’t know what it is about the UK, but you know when it’s just like your intuition, like pulling you somewhere? And I was like, I would love to do work in the UK,” Jamie explains.
“Now I’ve got this amazing audience in the UK, and I feel like it’d be just, I don’t know, awesome. There’s something that’s calling me there, so I’ve got to see what’s going on.”
Who is Jamie Marinos’ talent agency?
Since our chat with Jamie earlier this week, the MAFS star has quietly added a talent agency email address to her bio on Instagram. Her agent appears to be Amy from One Daydream, and her bestie Eliot is also repped by the same agency.
Her bio reads: “[Jamie is] focused on working with brands she genuinely connects with, building a presence across both Australia and the UK.”
One Daydream also represents other reality TV stars, such as Love Island’sMatt Zukowski and MAFS star Eden Harper.

Could we see MAFS’ Jamie Marinos back on our TV screens?
Jamie was obviously a natural on MAFS, and her wild facial expressions only added to the drama. So, what does she have planned for the future? Will she be back on TV as a host?
“I think I’m someone who it’s like, I can kind of see what I want to achieve. And I have vision boards of really, just like, almost feelings of this amazing life,” she starts. “Obviously through MAFS, it’s like I quantum leapt into this crazy world. I think I just want to keep following whatever path I’ve been given and definitely keep growing this social platform I’ve been gifted.”
She hints we could be seeing her back on TV at some point, because she was “super comfortable in front of a camera” while filming MAFS. Can someone make it happen ASAP?!
