Chattr’s resident Billion Dollar Playground insider is back to break down another drama-filled episode of Binge’s new reality TV show. Read my recap of Episodes 1 and 2 here. Let’s get into Episode 6.
JB at breaking point
Episode 6 kicked off on the third and final day at Dovecote, and tensions were running high.
JB, still sulking from his recent demotion, admitted to Heaven that he felt underutilised—he was hired as a butler and believed he should be front and centre with the guests. Heaven commented on camera that his ego was bruised, and it was starting to show.
The morning guest service was rocky. Jasmin noticed the breakfast table wasn’t set and questioned JB, who claimed he’d been cleaning up from the night before. The chefs—usually fans of JB—weren’t impressed. JB seemed more preoccupied with his pride than with the guest experience.
Poolside drama and rom-com vibes
After breakfast, guests lounged around the pool. In true luxury resort style, they wanted canapés poolside. George, flexing his creativity, suggested they serve a savoury high tea.
Later, Jay caused a stir when he appeared as the ‘Pool Boy’ with his shirt off. The guests were loving it, and the crew watched on laughing. Jay admitted he enjoys breaking uniform rules.
Meanwhile, sparks flew between Nicole and Matt. Nicole tickled Matt after he revealed he was ticklish—RomCom energy continued.
JB walks off, Grace steps up
Tensions boiled over as Jasmin pulled JB aside to confront him. JB stood his ground, saying he’s a butler, not an errand boy, and stormed off. Elsie and Jay both overheard. Jasmin, unsure if JB would return, asked Jay and Nicole to help serve. Eventually, JB returned, frustrated and defensive.
Later, JB and Grace co-hosted a caviar tasting. As someone who has had a “caviar bump” myself, so I know what a highlight the experience is. When JB forgot key details, Grace stepped in smoothly. The chefs noticed—Grace was stepping up.
The feedback hits hard
Dinner was a hit with guests—a seafood buffet, lamb mains and chocolate desserts. But guest Sarah, with strict dietary needs, was upset after being served butter. The oversight went unnoticed by the crew and chefs alike.
The next morning, guest reviews were revealed. Fireworks and the winery helicopter trip were highlights.
They praised Grace, Heaven and Jasmin but they highlighted JB as a stand out – describing his drinks service as exceptional. JB was very happy with the feedback that he was “extremely polished and knows his stuff”.
There was negative feedback too: cold steaks and the butter incident. Matt admitted his mistake, confusing “no butter” with “dairy-free.” Alex didn’t mince words: the chefs had let the team down.
George took it to heart, tearing up in the bathroom. Jasmin later comforted him, saying it was hard to see him upset.
Grace’s Surprise Promotion
Alex met with Grace to talk career goals. Grace shared her ambition to become lead concierge. That night, at a wild house party, Jay spiced things up as a “stripper cop.” Heaven and Jasmin received lap dances, and Elsie declared it the best thing she’d ever seen—alcohol-licking included.
During the chaos, Grace received a cryptic text from Alex. Jasmin got one too, and looked worried. The next morning, Alex told Jasmin that Grace would be promoted—not as a demotion to Jasmin, but a chance for Grace to prove herself. Jasmin took it well, but the tension was real.
As the team relocated to Sunny Brae in Vaucluse, Grace announced her promotion via group call. George and Matt were supportive. JB was devastated. Jasmin quietly questioned what it meant for her.
What to expect in Episode 7
The teaser of next week’s episode reveals what could be the biggest drama of the show. The new guests have strong opinions and they aren’t shy about complaining. A heatwave shows one guest threatening to leave to a hotel if she doesn’t get a fan. Grace is seen panicking—if the guests walked, it would be game over for her. JB, not missing a beat, said it would be the “worst thing that could happen to a lead concierge.” Will Grace survive the pressure of leadership? Will Jasmine fight to reclaim her position?
