Whether you were Team Brooke or Team Peyton, One Tree Hill girlies are going wild over Sophia Bush rocking multiple Brooke Davis outfits 21 years later.
Taking in the “emergency” TikTok trend, Sophia transitions between some of her most iconic Brooke outfits on the hit TV drama.
From the red-lace cami from the One Tree Hill promo shoot to the red bridesmaid dress Brooke and Peyton Swayer wore for Haley and Nathan Scott’s wedding, the whole thing is nostalgic heaven.
“We all know B. Davis would have *loved* TikTok trends,” Sophia wrote alongside the video which has amassed close to 7 million views at the time of writing this article.
So have the items been sitting in the wardrobe for 21 years? Not exactly.
Where did Sophia Bush find the Brooke Davis outfits?
Sophia has Audrey Long, founder of xoxoposhipgirl, to thank for sourcing these iconic looks.
“I owe it all to sweet Audrey, who brought me all of these ACTUAL pieces of my #BDavis wardrobe from #OneTreeHill. Legend! I had to give them a spin,” Sophia gushed on X (formerly known as Twitter).
Audrey, 18, finds exact matches of the clothes that TV’s most iconic characters wore on their respective shows including Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, The Vampire Diaries, Pretty Little Liars and Friends. And yes, she ships worldwide!
Audrey told Chattr that she sourced 16 authentic Brooke outfits from One Tree Hill over the course of many months, ranging from BCBG Maxazria, Juicy Couture, Dolce & Gabbana, Catherine Malandrino, and more.
Earlier this year she was invited to meet Sophia at a convention where she brought a bag that was filled with the outfits.
“Each outfit was paired with the image of Sophia wearing it in the show,” Audrey recalled to Chattr.
“She was so excited and immediately started pulling dresses out of the bag,” Audrey continued, noting that Sophia recognised the scenes and moments she wore the pieces she was seeing.
“It was such a fun experience seeing her reaction to being reunited with her iconic outfits. I’ve talked with some of her team and they all mentioned how “cool and unique” she thought this was!”
Audrey says that seeing Sophia’s TikTok was “truly such a dream come true moment”.
Is anyone else secretly hoping this becomes a new trend? Leighton Meester re-rocking all her iconic Blair Waldorf pieces? Jennifer Anniston whipping out some Rachel Green gold?
One can hope! Anyway, see you all in 6-8 months as I’m going to rewatch the entirety of One Tree Hill for the seventh time.
You can stream One Tree Hill Seasons 1-9 on Stan in Australia to relive all of the Brooke Davis outfits.
Former Home and Away actor Sarah Roberts has opened up about her divorce from James Stewart.
Sarah and James met on the set of Home and Away in 2017 and got married at Luttrellstown Castle in Ireland in 2019.

In April 2024, Sarah confirmed to Stellar Magazine that she and James had divorced. That same month, James was reportedly spotted kissing his co-star Ada Nicodemou by the Sunday Telegraph.
Since then, rumours have been swirling that James and Ada are an item, and the actress confirmed their relationship in an interview with Stellar that was published in July.
Now, in an interview with Herald Sun, Sarah has seemingly referenced articles about James and Ada’s relationship, and the emotional impact it had on her.
“For a while, I wasn’t the happiest chappy on the block but I’m loving life at the moment,” she told the publication.

Sarah Roberts says that she avoids looking at magazines
Ada and James’s Home and Away characters, Leah and Justin, tied the knot in April, and their real-life relationship has dominated headlines ever since.
“I’m not a robot, of course, and things hurt — like I definitely don’t hang out in the magazine aisle,” Sarah told Herald Sun.
“[But] I really dislike dishonesty and I think if people can step into their authenticity, there’s power in that.”

Sarah went on to say that she’s tried to see the silver lining in her divorce.
“I’ve learned a lot from that experience (divorce) and from other relationships I’ve had, too,” she said.
“So much has changed. I don’t have any regrets.”
“I think (it’s good) if you can learn to grow, which is what I always wanted to do within my marriage. I wanted to do it with a team partner and that’s going to be someone else now.”
Home and Away airs Monday – Thursday at 7:30pm on Channel 7 and 7Plus.
American actor Eric André said that he was “racially profiled” after he was stopped and searched when travelling through Melbourne airport.
“I got detained,” Eric began in an Instagram video.
“I got pulled out of a line-up and put in a special line in Melbourne where I was sniffed thoroughly by a dog.”
Eric, who starred in the Netflix special Eric Andre: Legalize Everything, told his followers that he was stopped in Terminal 2 following 25 hours of transit from New York via Los Angeles.
“It’s one of the many times I’ve been racially profiled at the airport,” he said.
“So this is a message for all Black, brown and Indigenous people travelling through Melbourne today, especially if you’re travelling Qantas International by Terminal 2, please be careful.
“They are searching Black, brown and Indigenous people.”
Eric requested that anyone who booked him for appearances in the future ensure that he doesn’t fly through Melbourne Airport, or to provide him with personal security.
“Please provide a police escort or some type of security escort for me or have me fly into Brisbane or Sydney directly,” André said.
“I do not feel safe in the Melbourne Airport. I do not want to be humiliated or racially discriminated against anymore at these airports.
“I don’t want to cut my hair and wear a three-piece suit so that I’m treated like a first-class citizen,” he continued.
“I shouldn’t be made to feel that I am not accepted by entering a country. Shame on the people at the Melbourne Airport that have this cockamamie procedure.
“I doubt it yields any safer world for anybody in Melbourne or Australia. I’d love to dig up the statistics on what is coming out of that program.”
“It has nothing to do with safety. It has everything to do with racial harassment,” he claimed.

Reactions to Eric Andre’s experience at Melbourne airport
Eric’s fans took to his comments section to show their support.
“The fact that he posted this just tells me how bad the experience was, I’ve never seen Eric be so serious. Hope he gets sent all the info he needs,” one person commented.
“I’m so sorry that happened Eric. Melbourne is one of the most accepting states of all nationalities so I’m very pissed off and hurt that this happened to you. It’s not ok,” another commented.
The official Melbourne Airport Instagram page also responded to Eric in the comments section.
“Melbourne Airport does not tolerate racism in any form,” the reply began.
“We are following up your complaint with the Australian Border Force (ABF) and the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) who are in charge of processing all international arrivals at Melbourne Airport and other Australian international gateways.
“Melbourne Airport is proudly the gateway to one of the most multicultural cities in the world.
“We welcome ALL passengers to Melbourne, and we expect everyone to be treated equally.” Want to CHATTR with us? Follow us on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok for more entertainment news.
Every Married At First Sight (MAFS) season we’re told it will be like nothing like anything you’ve ever seen before. However, I actually think the 2025 MAFS couples are going to bring the goods with reports that several pairings from the MAFS cast have already quit.
Daily Mail Australia reports that one groom quit the experiment just hours after his MAFS wedding, which I’m sure aggravated the production team (and the budget they used for his nuptials) greatly.
The groom in question is Eliot Donovan. He is set to marry Lauren Hall (who, funnily enough, is Jono McCollough‘s ex).
“Eliot was anything but impressed when he met Lauren. From that moment, it was downhill,” an insider told Daily Mail Australia.
“By the next morning, Eliot wanted out — no second thoughts, no hesitation. Everyone was shocked, asking, ‘WTF is going on?’
“Eliot was nothing short of disrespectful, not just to Lauren but to the entire crew.”
Photos from the first MAFS dinner party support this theory with Lauren arriving solo.
That sounds bloody horrible for her and we hope they bring in a replacement groom who respects and appreciates her.
More MAFS couples quit the experiment early
It doesn’t end there. Rumours have surfaced that even more MAFS couples quit at the first Commitment Ceremony — within weeks of the show beginning filming.
“We’re already down six people and it’s only been two weeks. The pressure on the remaining cast is enormous, and it’s creating a lot of tension,” an insider told Daily Mail Australia.
Production are reportedly looking to fill the cast hole with intruders.
Chief Hunter Reece Dewar has revealed which Hunted Fugitives will give the Hunters a real “run for their money” this year.
Amongst the Hunted Australia 2024 cast is an investigator who works for the government, a CEO and a firefighter.
While the Hunters have hugely impressive resumes and access to advanced intelligence, Reece believes that there are three Fugitives who will be particularly tricky to catch.
“A lot of the fugitives have very fugitives have very distinguished backgrounds as well,” he told Chattr in an exclusive interview.
Reece on Hunted. Image: Ten.
Which three Fugitives is Hunted’s Reece concerned about?
“Andy and Deb have an awesome background. Andy is a fireman and Deb, her dad was a safe cracker back in the day,” he said. A safecracker is a person who breaks up and robs safes.
“They’re a dynamic pair, those two,” he added. “And the other thing is they’ve been married for over 20 years, so they know each other very well, know what they’re capable of, know what their mindset is going to be like, so they’re pretty good. “
Aside from Andy and Deb, Reece believes Akec is another Fugitive who might prove hard to catch.
“She’s a former AFLW player, so she’s going to be fit as and she’s going to give the Hunters a run for their money,” he said.
Andy and Deb. Image: Ten.Akec and her team mate Joe. Image: Ten.
Reece explains why viewers side with the Fugitives
Generally speaking, if Hunted was real life, the Fugitives would be considered the ‘bad guys’ and the Hunters would be the ‘good guys’, who are maintaining justice.
However, viewers of the show generally tend to side with the Fugitives and barrack for them to evade the Hunters.
Reece believes the reason for this comes down to Australians’ upbringings and backgrounds.
“I think it’s Australian nature, right?” He said. “I think we all, we all like a little bit of an outlaw, we’re a notion of convicts if we want to go back like that.
“We like the thrill of a hunt. We like the thrill of not being caught, and we like a challenge.”
Will Reece and his team of Hunters be able to catch Andy, Deb and Akec before they make it to extraction? We can’t wait to find out!
Hunted Australia airs Monday – Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 10 and 10Play.
With Married At First Sight (MAFS) Season 12 production underway, it was only a matter of time before the MAFS 2025 cast started leaking to the public.

Paul Antoine

Paul Antoine was the very first MAFS Season 12 groom to be announced by Daily Mail Australia. And guess what? It turns out he’s already been on reality TV before.
Only two years ago, Paul was one of 21 contestants who tried to find love on Channel Ten’s The Real Love Boat Australia.
MAFS fans are sceptical about the Season 12 cast
Fans have been quick to flood the comments section of the MAFS cast announcements on Instagram page @mafsgossip.
“Influencer at first sight,” one commenter wrote under an image of Antoine.
“On a scale of One to Only Here to be famous, how invested in finding love is this guy?” wrote another.
“Jesus when are they going to listen to what the viewers want! Genuine people looking for love not fame.”
Sierah received a similar reception on her announcement through the gossip account.
“The show has become about launching careers not finding love,” someone wrote under images of Sierah.
Rhi doesn’t have a reality TV past (that we know of) but she still copped the wrath of MAFS fans claiming she was looking for fame. That says more about what the show’s become, don’t you think?
“You guys really can’t let a woman be pretty without saying she’s on it for attention or the wrong reasons,” a commenter wrote to defend Rhi.
“You know nothing about her yet, let her live.”
With plenty of MAFS cast names yet to be announced, it’s still unknown what the overall vibe of the show will be. Will there be more ex-reality TV contestants, or will we see some fresh faces?
Time will tell.

Long-time judge Neale Whitakerstepped back fromthe 2024 season ofThe Block, and now he’s explained the reason behind his choice.
After over a decade as a judge, Neale announced in May that he won’t be returning for the 20th season. He shared the sad news on Instagram and said that he’s prioritising spending time with his partner David, who’s unwell.
During an interview with Yahoo Lifestyle at the 2024 Logies, Neale elaborated on why he decided to leave the popular reality TV show.
“Oh gosh, it was a big decision, but it was something that I had to do for my personal life,” he said.
“After 13 years, it kind of felt like the timing was right. I gave it my best shot for all those years, and it was time to move on.
Neale before the Logies. Image: Instagram.
Will Neale Whitaker return to The Block?
Earlier this year, Neale confirmed in a statement that he’s “permanently” handed his role over to Marty Fox.
However, he hinted that he’ll still be attached to The Block in some way.
“It’s always going to have a very special place for me, that show, always,” he told Yahoo Lifestyle.
“And I think if I’m honest, I’ll always feel like an honorary member of the show – I don’t know whether they’ll approve of that, but that’s how I feel.”
Marty and Neale judged alternative weeks while Shaynna and Darren were full-time The Block judges.
With Neale making the decision to step back from his judging gig, Marty has become a full-time judge.
“I’ve handed my judging sheet permanently to Marty Fox (who stepped in so brilliantly last season) and I know he will have a blast with Shaynna and Darren as I did for 17 seasons,” Neale said in the Instagram post he published in May.
“It’s been such a privilege to be part of Australia’s most iconic TV show for an unbelievable 13 years – unbelievable to me, anyway.”
Here’s to hoping it won’t be too long until we see Neale back on our screens.
The Block airs on Sundays at 7pm and Mon – Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
After four decades in the biz, The Morning Show hostLarry Emdur took home gold at the 2024 Logies.
The prestigious awards weren’t announced until a stroke before midnight, but Larry still had the energy to deliver a truly entertaining acceptance speech.
In his speech, he made a joke about being “TV’s most axed man” and said that his kids hadn’t watched free-to-air TV “for about 15 years ” but were proud of him.
Larry. Image: Instagram.
Fans’ reactions on Twitter proved that Larry’s light-hearted speech was clearly a hit.
“Larry Emdur possibly the greatest, sincerest & funniest Logies acceptance speech ever,” one person wrote on X (previously Twitter).
Check out the best reactions to Larry’s Gold Logie win.
Larry Emdur, best acceptance speech ever! Entertaining and genuinely funny. Worthy winner and should host the Logies next year. Definitely funnier than Sam Pang. #Logies2024#LarryEmdur
Larry Ember for gold!! What an incredible career and can’t believe it’s his first 2 ever Logies tonight!! Super stoked for him and great speech 🙌 … but honestly I just can’t wait for the tattoo on live TV tomorrow 😂🤣 #TVWeekLogies#GoldLogie#TheMorningShow@morningshowon7
Read Larry’s full Gold Logie acceptance speech below.
“Wow. Forty years I’ve been in this business, 40 years.
“For 25, maybe 30 times I’ve sat in this room and thought, ‘I wonder what it’s like sitting on this fancy table down here.’
“Oh sh*t, I just remembered. I was so convinced that I wasn’t going to win this that I said that if I did win it, I would have all the nominees’ initials tattooed on my a** live tomorrow morning.
“So that’s what you will see on The Morning Show tomorrow.
“I know it’s late, I’m sorry, I’ve just got a couple of people (to thank).
“Nat Barr is looking at me like, ‘Baby, I’ve got to get up in 25 minutes.’
“I love this business so much. I love being in TV, I love being on TV and I’ve never done anything else and I’ve never wanted to do anything else.
“Whether it’s sitting on The Morning Show couch interviewing Lindy Klim who has invented a new product which is a face mask for vulvas or a 150kg truck driver who has won on The Price Is Right, dry humping me.
“Being the most axed man in television, and there have been some terrible things, plenty of times I’ve had to think do I look right, am I right for this?
“Red Symons, the first time I got to host Hey, Hey It’s Saturday, I was so nervous, I was filling in for Daryl and Red Symons came up to me and he said, ‘Mate, if your eyes were any closer together they’d be in the one socket.’
“So there are times like that where I was like, ‘I should not be in this business.’
“You know, it’s about the shows, I touched on them before, The Chase family, Deb and Andrea, all the Chasers.
Larry and Kylie on The Morning Show. Image: Seven.
“The Morning Show, Sarah Stinson, the whole team, I adore you.
“Kylie Gillies, my TV wife, thank you. We campaigned hard. I wrote in my book, which is now available in all good clearance bins, that Kylie and I sat on The Morning Show 17 years ago and we clicked and we’ve never un-clicked.
“We say we get married at 9.30 in the morning and then divorced at 11.30. Now I’m getting older, I need to get closer to the toilet so it can be closer to 11:28.
“I asked my dad, when I went in for my first day on the job in the seven newsroom, I asked what I did and he said, ‘Just be nice to everyone.’.”
“After a few days, he asked me how it’s going and I said, ‘Dad, I’m trying but there’s so many a******s in this business.’ Like,so many.
“My kids, Jye and Tia, I know it’s a thing to get up and say, ‘Kids, it’s late to go to bed’. They’re 20 and 30. Do whatever you want.
“Apparently they love the fact that it’s rhyming slang, if you’re going on a bender, you’re, ‘Going on a Larry Emdur.
“My beautiful wife Sylvie, thank you for everything you’ve done.
Larry and his wife Sylvie and the Logies. Image: Instagram.
“After Price is Right, I took a couple of steps down and got axed and axed and axed and Sylvie and I said that’s it, no more crappy shows.
“Then Channel Ten called me about doing a show called ‘Celebrity Dog School’ and I said we agreed not to do any more crappy shows and she said ‘I need a new kitchen, you are doing it.’
“When I had this suit made, I had them put the nominees in here for me
“Because in 30 years time when I’m at the Shady Pines Nursing Home and I’m calling bingo because that’s what I’m doing, I want to remember this in 30 years time.
“Thank you so much. Let’s get on a ‘Larry Emdur’.”
The newest season of The Voice Australia is upon us with LeAnn Rimes, Adam Lambert and Kate Miller-Heidke joining Guy Sebastian to find Australia’s next singing sensation.
But here’s the thing: The Voice 2024 isn’t live even though the Australian public will be called on to vote for a winner.
So how does that work? Well, similarly to Love Island Australia in recent years, the show has filmed multiple endings based on who the Australian public voted for.
When Chattr spoke with coach Kate in August, she confirmed that “all of [The Voice 2024]” had already been filmed “including four different endings”.
“We don’t know the winner because the winner’s by public vote,” Kate clarified.
The Voice 2024 coaches. Image: Seven.
Basically, once the final four are decided, the lines will open up for the public to vote. When voting closes, production will select the ending filmed for that particular winner.
Obviously it’s less authentic considering the contestant is acting as if they’ve won (without actually knowing if they’ve won).
“We got to see the acting chops of our final four,” Kate joked. “They were quite good.”
The good news? We’ll no doubt see a real reaction from the winner pop up on social media following the finale. We hope!
Keep reading for everything we know about The Voice Australia 2024.

What rounds will be on The Voice 2024?
The Voice 2024 will follow the same premise as past seasons, which means that the contestants will need to make it through multiple rounds to reach the final.
The first stage is the Blind Auditions, which sees the contestants take to the stage hoping to turn the coaches’ chairs. Leann, Adam, Kate and Guy will only be able to select 12 contestants each. If an artist receives more than one chair turn, the coaches will pitch and the contestants will decide.
The Blind Auditions. Image: Seven.
Unlike previous seasons, there will be an Ultimate Block available for each coach, which allows them to block all of their fellow coaches and ensure the contestant joins their team. They also receive a Block, which allows them to block just one judge.
The next stage is the Ultimate Battles, which sees artists from each team face off in pairs. Only one contestant from each battle will survive. Coaches will be given the power to save one artist.
The third round is the Knockouts, which is where teams go from seven to two. Grouped in duos or trios for the three Knockouts per team, the artists sing individual songs based on a theme. The winners from each Knockout face off in a final Showdown with a song of their choice resulting in two artists progressing to the Semi-Final.
After that, there will be eight contestants in the Semi-Finals, and four in the Finals.
The Voice 2024 premiere date
The Voice Australia announced that it will be premiering on Monday, August 19. That’s the day after the 2024 Logies, in case you were wondering!

How to watch The Voice Australia
The Voice will be available to watch on Channel 7 and 7Plus.
What can we expect this season?
The spectacular combination of brand-new coaches LeAnn, Adam, Kate and returning coach Guy promises a season filled with phenomenal performances, emotional moments and life-changing opportunities.
All four coaches are set to take their place on the iconic red chairs with their hands hovering to spin when they hear a voice they must have on their team. That, or hit the infamous Block button to stop another coach from securing an artist that has what it takes to win it all.
This season, The Voice is set to elevate its platform for discovering and nurturing extraordinary talent, offering artists the unique opportunity to be mentored by some of the most successful and diverse artists in the global music industry.
Coach Adam Lambert. Seven.
Who are the coaches?
This year will see a largely new set of coaches on The Voice Australia. As previously mentioned, LeAnn, Adam and Kate will join returning coach Guy and the four celebs will compete to score their favourite contestants for their teams.
Is there a trailer?
There is! The newest clip shows the four coaches battling each other to score the most talented contestants on their teams.
As the premise of the show goes, during the Blind Audition rounds, the coaches listen to contestants sing, and can turn their chairs if they want to recruit them to their own teams.
The competition progresses to Callback and Battle Rounds which see contestants gradually eliminated. At the Grand Final, just one singer is crowned the winner, and their coach technically wins as well.
Will a newbie coach take out the win this season?!
Gold Logie winner Larry Emdur has followed through on his promise to get a tattoo on national TV.
Ahead of the 64th TV WEEK Logie Awards Larry told news.com.au that if he were to win the top trophy, he’d get a tattoo on his bum during The Morning Show.
“I’m so confident I won’t win, I’ll happily get all the nominees’ name initials tattooed on my a*** on the show on Monday [if I do win]” he told the publication.
Fans tuned into the show with bated breath to see if Larry would stick to his word. And, being the Australian icon he is, the TV host got inked up.
A tattoo artist from Bondi Ink arrived on The Morning Show on Monday, and put together a design for Larry which featured the initials of the fellow nominees he beat; Tony Armstrong, Andy Lee, Sonia Kruger, Robert Irwin, Julia Morris, and Asher Keddie.
“Kylie [Gillies], I can’t see what’s happening,” Larry told his co-host as he stretched out on the tattoo bed.
“Is this what it is like being in those rooms in Border Security,” he joked.
Larry explained to viewers what his new tattoo looked like.
“Basically, it’s a little line drawing of a Logie holding the TV and within the TV are the initials of the other wonderful nominees who were up for a Gold Logie last night,” he explained as the artist was tattooing him.

Larry won his first two Logies in 2024
Larry has been a TV host since 1993, and over the years he’s hosted a variety of shows including The Price is Right, Hey Hey It’s Saturday and Wheel of Fortune.
He’s hosted The Morning Show alongside Kylie since 2007. However, despite his lengthy TV career, Larry had never won a Logie until the 2024 Awards Ceremony.
Larry received two awards at the 64th TV WEEK Logie Awards; the Gold Logie and the Bert Newton Award for Most Popular Presenter.
The 64th annual Logie Awards have officially arrived to Sydney’s The Star and now the the red carpet is done and dusted, it’s time to find out who our 2024 Logies winners are.
While people think they know who the Gold Logie is going to already, no one will know for sure until the broadcast hosted by Sam Pang is complete.
We’ve already had a live cross from Raygun saying, “Please feel free to pull out any of my signature moves in celebration”, so we’re surely in for a good night.
So which nominees will be taking home a Logie? Keep reading for your complete list of 2024 Logies winners which we’ll be updating as they happen.

A quick scroll through the Made In Bondicast’s Instagram accounts will show fancy cars, five-star hotels and designer clothes galore.
If there’s one way to describe the life the Made In Bondi cast live on Instagram, it’s aspirational.
While it’s always fun to get a glimpse into how the one percent live, it’s equally as interesting to scroll back through the cast’s feed and find out who knew each other before the show began filming.
Scroll on to take a snoop at each of the Made in Bondi cast’s Instagram accounts.

The entertainment industry has been buzzing ever since the 2024 Gold Logie nominees were announced, and the winner may have already leaked.
According to TAB betting odds, there’s one frontrunner. At the time of writing, first-time Gold Logie nominee Larry Emdur has the best betting odds to take out the gong, with a return of $1.72.
Gold Logie Nominees. TV Week.
What are the current betting odds for the 2024 Gold Logie winner?
Larry is in the lead with his return of $1.72, the lowest return of any contestants, meaning that the most amount of money has been bet on him to win.
Not far behind him sits both Robert Irwin and Tony Armstrong with equal odds of $4.50. Andy Lee sits in fourth place with a return of $9.00.
You can find all of the betting odds below:
Larry Emdur – $1.72
Robert Irwin – $4.50
Tony Armstrong – $4.50
Andy Lee – $9.00
Asher Keddie – $17.00
Julia Morris – $17.00
Sonia Kruger – $21.00
How do betting odds work?
Betting odds are tied to dollar amounts, and those with lower odds are recognised as more likely to win, hence the lower return. For example, if someone bets $1 on Larry winning the Gold Logie and he does, they’d receive the amount that outcome is listed at, which is $1.72.
The return is based on how much someone bets, so if they bet $10.00 on the same thing, they’d receive $17.20. If they bet $100, they’d receive $172 and so on.
Robert and Julia are both nominated for Gold Logies. Image: Instagram.
Are betting odds always right?
Not necessarily, however, they do give a good indication of who may win. Plus, in many past reality TV shows, they’ve correctly picked the winner.
For example, Brent Draper had the best betting odds to win MasterChef 2023, and he took out the title. Plus, betting odds suggested thatLiz Parnov would win Survivor: Heros vs Villains, and she was, in fact, crowned the winner.
The Block 2024 is in full swing and while drama is truly front and centre of the season, there are some golden rules the Blockheads have to follow.
There are building regulations the contestants must abide by, but there are also some lesser-known by-laws that must be adhered to – and we’ve compiled them here all in one place!
Grant learning the rules. Image: Nine.
The rules of The Block
1. No help from any outside designer
Simply put, all designs including styling must come from the Blockheads themselves.
2. Contestants must do their own painting
Much to the horror of the contestants, they must do all of their own painting.
3. All trades must be paid the award rate
Duh! They’re not working for free!
Ricky writing down rules. Image: Nine.
4. All trades must be inducted
According to Safe Work Australia, “Any person who is to carry out construction work must complete general construction induction training to receive a general construction induction training card, commonly referred to as the ‘White Card’.”
In an interview with Domain, former foreman Keith Schleiger revealed that safety is paramount on The Block.
“We’ve got a very good record on The Block and we want to maintain it, so we’re very militant with our safety procedures,” he told the outlet.
5. No more than 50 per cent discount on any trade goods
It may be a TV show, but the Blockheads still have a budget.
The Block 2022 winners, Omar and Oz, learned a tough lesson when they scored a sweet deal on a baby grand piano and ended up paying the price.
6. No working ahead
After #CheatingGate2021, host Scotty Cam revealed the full schedule ahead of time to avoid any ahem, dodgy behaviour.
Scotty Cam and the infamous whiteboard. Nine
7. No power tools after tools down
This rule is another way to keep an even playing field among the Blockheads.
8. No power tools on Sunday or public holidays and no noisy building work after hours
Nobody likes to hear a power tool on a Sunday and all public holidays must be adhered to.
As for the “no noisy building work after hours”? The same rule applies. Phillip Island is a residential area.
9. Contestants must hire their own trades
This is to keep to the authenticity of the series. We’re really renovating here people!
The Block airs on Sunday at 7:00pm and continues Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 9 and9Now.
Australian Survivor winnerLiz Parnov and her partner, Daniel Bradshaw, have welcomed an adorable baby boy into the world. They announced the news in a sweet Instagram post.
Liz shared a carousel of black and white photos of her and Daniel with their newborn and simply captioned the pics with their son’s name, Texas Bradshaw.
The Australian Survivorstar also shared a heartwarming video from her hospital which showed the lead-up to the birth and her and Daniel meeting Texas for the first time.
In February Liz announced her pregnancy in a very creative Instagram post. She took to the platform to share a photo of her pregnant belly, whichDanielwas holding while sucking on a dummy and wearing what looks to be great nappy-esque swimming briefs.
She captioned the post, “Just left pound town 👶🏼,” and the whole thing was a nod to Drake’s audio show Table For One.
The comments section of Liz’s post was flooded with blue tick accounts sending their well wishes.
“Yaayyyy I love you Texas!!! 🩵”, wrote Shonee Bowtell, who was Liz’s Survivor bestie.
Their alliance member George Mladenov also sent his well wishes. “Congrats Liz and Dan 🥹🥹🥹,” he wrote.

“Congrats mamma!!!! 😍😍😍💙💙💙 sending healing energy your way! He’s perfect 👼🏼,” commented American Survivor Season 45 winner Dee Valladares.
Two-time American Survivor winner Sandra Diaz-Twine chimed in as well. “Congratulations Momma. May the Lord bless your beautiful bundle of joy and remember when baby naps you nap,” she wrote.
Foreman Keith is noticeably missing from The Block 2024, and he’s now revealed the reason why.
Keith first joined the show in 2011 and has been a part of The Block for a whopping 16 seasons. This season, however, he decided to step back so he could spend more time with his daughters Ebony, 14, and Jasmin, 11.
The Block 2024is located on Phillip Island, which is a two-hour drive from Melbourne city.
“I couldn’t see a way of seeing my children more than once a week or something like that,” Keith explained to9Entertainment.
Keith and his daughters. Image: Nine.
“I wouldn’t have been able to commute from Melbourne, I would have to live down there. That was always going to be very hard and it just didn’t feel it was the right thing to do at the time – I don’t really want to spend three months without them.”
Keith admitted that his decision wasn’t an easy one.
“I’m definitely going to miss it,” he said. “It’s basically been 20 per cent of my life.”
Keith. Image: Nine.
Who replaced Keith as The Block’s Foreman?
With Keith stepping back, his right-hand man Dan has taken up his Foreman position and is overseeing the contestant’s build on The Block Season 20.
“At the start, it was a bit odd as I’ve always had Keith next to me and we are good mates,” Dan told 9Entertainment of his new gig.
“But I think I slowly grew into it and got more comfortable in the role on my own. I will definitely miss him though.”
Dan and Keith. Image: Nine.
Will Keith come back to The Block?
The Block 2025’s location has been confirmed as the Victorian countryside town of Daylesford, which is approximately a two-hour drive from Melbourne.
The distance may be an obstacle for Keith, but he hasn’t confirmed yet whether he will be part of The Block 2025.
However, Keith fans needn’t worry because he will be appearing in a few episodes this season.
“You’ll see me there for about four or five days,” he confirmed to 9Entertainment.
We love a family man!
The Block airs on Sundays at 7pm and Mon – Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
