How to apply for FBoy Island Season 3
With its free-flowing satire, FBoy Island Australia is a bit unconventional when it comes to dating reality TV shows. So, it makes sense that the casting process is, too.
Instead of filling out an application form online like other popular shows, the FBoy Island Australia official Instagram account asks interested candidates to slide into their DMs.
“Ladies, FBoy’s & Nice Guys – DM us your contact details if you would like to find love (or money) on the island!” the caption begins.
“If you know someone else who would be a great fit, tag them in the comments!!” it continues.

Who won The Voice last year?
Whittlesea-based singer and mum of two TarrynStokes took out The Voice 2023 as part of Team Rita. At 40 years old, she was the oldest winner of The Voice since the show’s inception in 2012.

The future of SAS Australia has been surrounded by rumours of late, with many speculating that cancellation was coming for the series. However, we’ve now had confirmation that SAS Australia will be returning (likely in 2025).
Here’s what you can expect from the upcoming series and what we know so far.
SAS Australia 2025: What to expect from the next season
SAS 2025. Network Seven
Back in August this year, the show’s chief instructor, Ant Middleton, confirmed to Yahoo Lifestylethat the series would be returning. He highlighted that the delay was simply due to efforts to find “the right cast, we need the right location, and we need the right production company on board.”
“Of course we’re coming back, SAS Australia’s gone nowhere. You’ve heard it from the horse’s mouth,” he told the outlet.
Per reporting fromNew Idea, it’s expected SAS Australia will hit screens in 2025 but there are no confirmed dates as yet. It’s thought we will get a more concrete update during Channel Seven’s Upfronts event in mid-November.
Which cast members will be appearing in SAS Australia 2025?
Following the initial update, Ant shared with the Herald-Sun that former contestant Merrick Watts would be returning to the series on the directing staff.
“He is going to be by my side on the next SAS. I guess the cat is out of the bag now. We have to keep evolving it (the show), keep it fresh,” he said.
Merrick was quick to deny the claims, however. Speaking on FOX FM’s Fifi, Fev & Nick, he shared that he has never been spoken to about an opportunity to return to the show.
The remaining My Kitchen Rules (MKR) 2024 teams were in for a shock when they were informed that they were about to take part in the Ultimate Instant Restaurant round.
In recent seasons, there was a maximum of two Instant Restaurant rounds per season. However, if you cast your mind back to MKR 2017, you’ll remember that the top eight teams took part in the Ultimate Instant Restaurant round.
This season, it’s back again, with Judge Colin Fassnidge announcing during the October 22 episode that Simone and Viviana, Caz and Fergus, Mike and Pete, Janey and Maddie, and Rob and Liam will be travelling around the country for another round.

How will the My Kitchen Rules Ultimate Instant Restaurant round work?
Colin teased that a twist was coming for the top five teams, telling them the competition was about to ramp up.
“We’re going back around the country; it’s time for the Ultimate Instant Restaurant round.”
Manu explained that the third round would be even more challenging than the first two.
“We’re asking for twice as many dishes to give your diners a choice. That’s two entrees, two mains, and two desserts,” he said.
“Over the years, the Ultimate Instant Restaurant rounds have been the make or break for teams,” Colin added.
“It is as tough as it gets. But, survive them and you will have all the tools you need to come back here to Kitchen HQ and take out the title.”

Who has done the best in the MKR 2024 Instant Restaurants?
Earlier this season, Simone and Viviana made MKR history by receiving the highest Instant Restaurant score ever.
They earned 104 out of 110 for their entree of Beef Tartare with Crumbed Yogurt and Crostini, main of Prawn and Potato Ravioli with Prawn Bisque and dessert of Millefoglie.

Where does the MKR Leaderboard currently sit?
The MKR Leaderboard determined who was eliminated in round one and round two of the Instant Restaurant round.
Round one saw Rob and Liam take out the win with a score of 84 out of 100. Of course, round two saw Simone and Viviana top the leaderboard with their record-breaking score of 104 out of 110.

What do the judges ofThe Voice Australia have to say?
Each of the coaches in this season of The Voice Australia has given a message of support for their respective contestants; with all four praising the talent of the finalists and gushing about how proud they are.
In a statement on the upcoming final, Adam shared:
“Annie, you get up there, and something really magical happens. You take the energy in the room, and you make magic with it.” Annie responded by sharing, “Being the youngest artist is crazy. I am so grateful that I’m here right now.”
Kate said of Jaedyn, “…you are an incredible singer. I love your voice. I want to just dive into it, live there forever.” To which Jaedyn replied, “I’m so grateful. I’m so excited for us to continue to work together.”
LeAnn raved about Reuben’s talent, sharing: “Reuben, you are the epitome of an artist. You really have such soul. I’m blown away every time you walk on stage.” Reuben replied, “A couple of months ago, I wouldn’t even have thought I’d be here. I’m pretty stoked”.
And finally, Guy shared to Skÿe: “Skÿe, there’s something special, something unique, something magical, and that’s been really exciting for me as a coach.” Skÿe responded, “Thank you for betting on me, for taking a chance on me.”
What does the winner of The Voice Australia receive?
Okay, so we know when and where you can watch the finale of The Voice Australia 2024, but what’s in store for the winner of the competition?
The winner of The Voice Australia will walk away with $100,000 in prize money (not too bad).
In previous years, winners reportedly also won a recording contract with Universal Music Australia or EMI Music Australia, but per reporting from Yahoo Lifestyle, this has been ditched in 2024. Instead, it is believed that the winner will get an “artist development package with a recording studio” as part of their prize.
It’s grand finale week for The Voice Australia 2024, and whispers about the potential winner of the competition – and whether or not that winner has been leaked – have been circulating.
Let’s take a look at what folks have been discussing regarding the winner of The Voice Australia 2024, shall we?
The Voice Australia: Was Skÿe leaked as the winner of this season?
Seven Network
The short answer here is, not officially. However, people have noticed an interesting detail that has them convinced they know who will walk away with the win this year. (We’re still very much working with rumours, though.)
As has been reported by Who, there are theories that Team Guycontestant Skÿehas been slated to win The Voice Australia 2024.
This comes after fans noticed the contestant had been appearing in Afterpay commercials since early in the 2024 season. Per Who, one fan commented on Facebook, “Why is SKŸE already in ads? I hope that isn’t a clue.”
Moving over to X, another user shared, “Kinda predictable since Skye is in ads for Afterpay.”
With fans noticing that Skÿe is the only contestant who has appeared in ads throughout The Voice Australia competition, it has sparked rumours that this is a hint at Skÿe’s success in the show.
The suspicions around a pre-selected winner have escalated from here, with folks complaining that live shows and voting should be brought back to the series.
So disappointed with what channel 7 have done to The Voice. Too rushed with shortened performances shown (hopefully longer at the time of recording). Please go back to live shows with public voting once it gets to knockout rounds, even with no international judges. #TheVoiceAU
Additionally, there are fans questioning whether or not it’s fair that Skÿe has been on the show before. The singer appeared on The Voice Australia in 2015 and was a part of Team Delta.
@chattrau If you think Skÿe looks familiar, then you're right! The Voice contestant applied for the show in 2015 under his birth name, Nicolas Duquemin. See who else from this year's lineup has been on TV before at the link in bio. #Skye#TheVoiceAU♬ original sound – Chattr
One fan commented on TikTok, “Omg wow. Why couldn’t he just be honest and say he’s been on the show before?”
Another followed with, “Why is he allowed twice?”
However, there have been many fans responding to the criticism, highlighting that it’s not exactly a big deal to see contestants enter to be on The Voice multiple times.
One user wrote, “heaps of people re enter [in The Voice competition]” and another shared, “So many people have come back and reapplied, why does it matter any more for Skye?”
In any case, what we’re most interested in is whether or not fans have, in fact, spotted a clue regarding the final results of The Voice Australia 2024. We’ve reached out to Afterpay for comment, but in the meantime, we’ll have to wait and see.
Well, Married at First Sight (MAFS) 2025 has not even hit screens yet, and we’re already hearing rumours about whether or not couples are still together. Wild, we know.
As we’ve reported already, a number of the contestants from MAFS 2025 have already been leaked. But the latest in this space is that this upcoming season could be one of the most successful yet.
How many couples from MAFS 2025 are still together?

According to Yahoo Lifestyle, MAFS 2025 is slated to end with a “record-breaking” number of successful pairings, with an impressive percentage remaining together at the time of writing.
“Everyone thought this season was a lost cause, but a surprising amount of couples have really pulled through and made it to the end of the experiment,” an insider told the outlet.
While we don’t have specifics in terms of names just yet, whispers from MAFS 2025 insiders suggest that a solid number of couples will remain together after the show wraps.
Six couples have been leaked from the cast line-up of MAFS 2025. While we don’t know which pairings have made it all the way through, we can deduce that there should be at least a couple successful matches made in the bunch.

Teegan was delighted by the news and told Dean that she was “falling in love” with him.
At the FWAW Reunion, Teegan revealed that she had moved to the farm; however, after a short time together, she ended the relationship with Dean.
“We decided to go our separate ways,” Dean explained. “It was definitely a bit of a shock.”
Teegan added: “It was my decision. Coming into the experience, you expect a farmer to work a lot, but I think my expectations were a little different to what it was.”

Here’s everything you need to know about The Voice’s Skÿe
Skÿe has emerged as a real fan favourite during the 2024 season of The Voice, with audiences loving his performances each and every week.
This, however, was not the first time the young singer had appeared on The Voice as a contestant. Back in 2015, he competed in The Voice as a 17-year-old, and although he did make it into Team Delta, Skÿe was eliminated during the first live competition round.
Who is Skÿe’s coach on The Voice Australia?
During his blind audition, the 26-year-old received four turned chairs with all judges keen to work with him. But this time around, Skÿe wound up as a competitor from Team Guy on Season 13 of The Voice Australia.
His teammates included: Beau Shearer, Shannen Wick, James Vass, Kyle Wilson, Priscilla Stanley, Hannah Sands, Jaydin Shingleton, Roland Williams, Eden Borrie, Paea Havili and Arthur Hull.
What songs has Skÿe performed?
It was Skÿe’s performance of Joni Mitchell’s Both Sides Now that won him a place in the final of The Voice Australia 2024, but there have been many memorable performances over the weeks.
The Blind Audition song Skÿe performed was Billie Eilish‘s What Was I Made For.
Moving forward to the battles, Skÿe performed The Beatles‘ Yesterday with Eden.
In the knockouts, Skÿe performed Miley Cyrus‘ The Climb, which you can watch here.

Tai ‘Bam Bam’ and Logan Tuviasa were front runners all season on The Amazing Race Australia 2024, and they took out the win at the grand finale.
While the brothers were delighted about winning the reality TV show and receiving $100,000 prize money for their charity, Sydney Region Aboriginal Corporation, they both agreed that the hardest part about being on The Amazing Race was being away from their families. Logan has two daughters and Tai has one son.
“[The hardest part was] definitely was being away from my family. I had a lot of emotional trips on that. But being with my brother was sort of saving me, and Beau[Ryan] had some good advice after each race, too,” Logan told Chattr in an exclusive interview.

Tai and Logan revealed that after filming wrapped each day, they were able to talk to their loved ones.
“We got out phones after the day was done,” Tai said.
Reflecting on the moment that they reached the final The Amazing Race pitstop, Logan said that he instantly thought of his two daughters.
“It was a big relief for me, he said. “It was a long race. We had some big days, and just crossing that line, I felt this big sigh of relief, just knowing that I was able to see my kids again.”

Tai and Logan’s charity
Along with bragging rights, Tai and Logan received $100,000 for their charity for winning The Amazing Race Australia 2024.
The brothers chose Sydney Region Aboriginal Corporation, which is an organisation with a range of programs to address the ongoing disparity between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people.
“I used to work for them,” Tai revealed. “I used to run a men’s group, and used to look after men down there. So we do a lot of work with the community so I was really familiar with them. I had been doing a lot of football stuff with them.”
This past week, the contestants of The Blockpresented their final guest bedroom and laundry designs to the judges. Maddy and Charlotte’s choice to add a toilet in the laundry, however, received some mixed commentary.
Here’s what went down.
The Block’s Maddy and Charlotte ‘nasty’ toilet
Nine Network: The Block laundry reveal
Maddy and Charlotte went for a rather simplistic design in their laundry; using neutral shades, whites and natural wooden finishes.
It was the placement of a toilet, however, that captured the most attention.
Shaynna shared that the design lacked a frosted glass door.
“Great idea having a glass door but not so everyone can look through,” she said. “You need a frosted door.”
Marty added, when walking up to the toilet, “And when you’re positioned here, looking over my right shoulder, dare I say it, that’s probably a sitting area in front of the fireplace.”
“That’s nasty,” Shaynna added.
Darren agreed that the layout didn’t feel “very private”.
Overall, Marty did enjoy the general look of the space, however, he added “…it just doesn’t function well as a laundry for a house that sleeps 10 people.”
What did fans of The Block think?
Fans of the show were equally confused by the placement of the toilet, it seems. Folks on X have shared their opinions, stating that the laundry toilet – without a frosted door – was an odd choice by the girls.
#TheBlock Like the girls but just wondering why they would put a toilet in a laundry.
Yeah….the elevated bed just didn't work, even though it was built beautifully. Either did the laundry with a toilet and a glass exterior door . #TheBlock
Following toilet-gate, Marty shared that he was concerned Maddy and Charlotte may have “hit a little bit of a lull”.
The girls responded to the criticism, with Maddy explaining, “We knew we were going to get roasted. I just feel exhausted from the week, to be honest.”
“I just feel a bit meh… emotionally, absolutely drained. But, it’s another week tomorrow!” she said.
In addition to the situation with the toilet placement, there was also the issue of the girls’ laundry not being finished due to their inability to bring the laundry appliances into the room alone – because of how heavy they were.
Fans of the show took issue with this, complaining that Maddy and Charlotte were not offered any assistance with this challenging part of the job.
Breaks my heart to know they couldn’t ask any of the other teams to help them lift the machines. I hope channel 9 are proud of the bullies they’ve shown this season #TheBlock
Maddy & Charlotte are the best contestants in some time.
They hustle, are smart & thoughtful, with great attitudes.
Cannot imagine the extra stress on them by the other contestants. While their resilience is commendable, it shouldn’t have been necessary. #TheBlockpic.twitter.com/iQQHqNomFH
Farmer Wants A Wife‘s (FWAW) Andrew Coleman has shared his perspective on the break up of his engagement with Claire Saunders, and his comments have turned a whole lot of heads.
Andrew of FWAW shares his perspective on his split from Claire
Speaking with Woman’s Day, Andrew shared that after Claire had “an extended stay in Tasmania” she wanted to speak with him about the wedding.
“She asked me how I was feeling about it all,” he said.
“During that conversation, I expressed some doubts about getting married, and I remember saying I felt like something had changed, but I didn’t know what.”
According to Andrew, things seemed fine after that initial chat, “But the next day I was at a field day, and Claire texted me saying she’d cancelled the wedding – and she’d already informed her family and friends and that I probably should come home.”
“When I got back, Claire was quite upset, as was I. She told me she had work to go to in Darwin and I was quite shocked and confused – when I left that morning, I thought things were OK!”
In the end, however, he shared with the outlet that “despite the pain, I feel like we both made the right decision and in moving forward, we can both take some learnings from our time together.”
Earlier this month, Claire opened up about her reason behind the split with Andrew.
Claire and Andrew were supposed to get married in July 2024 but called off the wedding at the last minute. At the time, Claire took to Instagram to reveal that her wedding to the 2023 FWAW lead was off.
“My dogs and I have headed north to Darwin to work for the dry season. Andrew and I have had to cancel our wedding due to reasons out of our control, but we are both okay,” she began in an Instagram post.
“I’m not sure what else to say other than, sometimes life is hard and we all just need a little breathing space. There will be no farming content from me for the foreseeable future,” she cryptically added.
Now, she’s opened up about why they decided to cancel their wedding, and where their relationship stands now.
Claire and Andrew on FWAW. Image: Seven.
Why did FWAW’s Claire cancel her wedding to Andrew?
Claire told So Dramatic that she and Andrew had spent time planning their nuptials before she decided to pull the plug.
“Andrew was quite stressed due to the wedding planning and his father being unwell… so we started arguing about silly things,” she told the podcast.
“I asked him why we got engaged, and he said it was because that’s the natural progression of things.”
Claire explained that his non-committal reply led her to call the wedding off.
“I saw red. Then I said,‘I’m not going to drag you to the altar.’ And the next day I told him I was cancelling the wedding. It was supposed to be a joyous time… I felt like he took that away from me.”
Reflecting on her life since breaking up with Andrew, she toldYahoo Lifestyle that they no longer talk.
“I cancelled the wedding in July. You can’t make someone marry you,” she said.
“He wanted some space so I went to Darwin for the dry season and the wheels really fell off after that.”
Are Claire and Andrew still together?
Following Claire’s announcement that she and Andrew had cancelled their nuptials, she posted her wedding dress for sale on Facebook.

While the wedding is clearly not going ahead, are FWAW’s Claire and Andrew still together?
“We’re over, we’re finished,” she told the So Dramatic.
“I’m seeing out the dry season here in Darwin, and when that finishes up, I’ll pick up the rest of my stuff [from Andrew’s farm] and head to Tasmania.”
She added that she doesn’t think she and Andrew will get back together.
“The ship has sailed for me because of the amount of damage that he has caused in all relationships, not just ours,” she said.
“My family’s relationship with him, his family’s relationship with me. It’s not harmonious now. It’s not as pure as it was.”
Claire reiterated the sentiment to Yahoo Lifestyle.
“We’re not in contact now at all. It’s been a terrible time.”
The Blind Auditions saw some highly talented contestants assigned to the coaches’ The Voice teams. Since then, the contestants have been through the Knockout rounds and Battle rounds, and the grand finalists have been decided.
The Voice Australia 2024 started off with superstar coaches Guy Sebastian, LeAnn Rimes, Adam Lambert, and Kate Miller-Heidke blindly listening to contestants perform and then slamming their buzzers when they heard something they liked.
This year, the competition levelled up a little; each coach had an ultimate block, which allowed them to block all of their fellow coaches and ensure the contestant joined their team. The Voice 2024 coaches also received a block, which allowed them to block just one judge.
At the end of the Blinds round, The Voice teams were complete. However, during the Battle round, a chunk of these contestants were sent home. Now, with the Knockouts done and dusted, the coaches have eliminated another five contestants each.
Find out which artists from the The Voice teams have made it to the grand finals.
Team Adam
This is Adam’s first time on The Voice Australia. Fellow judge Kate labelled Adam as a bit “trigger-happy” when it came to pressing that buzzer during The Blinds.
Annie Jones
Annie, 16, from Melbourne, performed Holding Out For a Hero by Bonnie Tyler. Guy, Kate and Adam all turned their chairs.
Team LeAnn
This is LeAnn’s first time on The Voice Australia.
Reuben De Melo
31-year-old Reuben from Perth scored a stand ovation and a unanimous chair turn from all the judges. He sang I See Fire by Ed Sheeran at the first Blind Auditions.
Team Kate
This is also Kate’s first time on The Voice Australia. She told Chattr she would be looking for singers who would give her “goosebumps” or surprise her.
Jaedyn Randell
Kate, Guy and LeAnn turned their chairs for 22-year-old Jaedyn from New Zealand. She performed Jessie J’s Big White Room, and Kate used her Block to score Jaeydn on her team.
Team Guy
Guy is the only The Voice coach who’s been on The Blinds panel before, so it’s safe to say he knows what he’s doing!
Skÿe
Skÿe, 26, from Melbourne, received a standing ovation and a four-chair turn after delivering an emotional performance of Billie Eilish’s What Was I Made For. His powerful rendition had all The Voice teams eager to add him to their lineup.
The Voice Australia airs on Sundays at 7pm and Monday – Tuesday at 7:30pm on Channel 7 and 7Plus.
Cinephiles, look alive, because we have some news that will likely interest you. A new adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis‘ book American Psycho is in the works. While the film is not a classic remake of the 2000 American Psycho film, it will revisit its source material and interpret it anew.
Here’s what we know about the new take on American Psycho and what fans can expect from it.
What was the premise of the original American Psycho film?
Lionsgate
If all this talk about the new American Psycho project has you curious about the original, allow us to offer a brief recap.
The 2000 film starred Christian Bale, Justin Theroux and Josh Lucas, and the synopsis reads as follows:
“A wealthy New York City investment banking executive, Patrick Bateman, hides his alternate psychopathic ego from his co-workers and friends as he delves deeper into his violent, hedonistic fantasies.”
Who is directing and producing the new American Psycho film?
Per reporting from Variety, director Luca Guadagnino is (Challengers, Call Me By Your Name) in the final stages of negotiating the project, which is set to feature a script by Scott Z. Burns.
Also attached to the Lionsgate film will be executive producer Sam Pressman.
Who will star in the American Psycho remake?
We don’t currently have any insight into casting, release date or how this film will differ from the 2000 American Psycho, which was directed by Mary Harron and starred Christian Bale.
What will the new story be about?
For now, we simply know the film will be a fresh adaptation of the original novel.
On the American Psycho ‘remake’, Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chair Adam Fogelson said (per Variety), “We are thrilled to add another elite filmmaker to our upcoming slate. Luca is a brilliant artist and the perfect visionary to create a whole new interpretation of this potent and classic IP.”
Looks like we’ll be waiting a while yet for the remake of American Psycho, so it may be worth revisiting the original in the meantime.
There were 11 teams of Australian celebrities who packed their bags for The Amazing Race Australia 2024, but not all of them made it to the end. As the season progressed, the lastThe Amazing Race cast members to make it to the check-in point were eliminated one by one.
In each episode, the celebrities competed in gruelling challenges – which usually involved something very physical, scary or tricky. Think devouring an entire pig’s head or a deep-fried tarantula.

Members of One Direction have come out posting their devastation surrounding their band member Liam Payne’s death.
Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik have all expressed their sadness and disbelief over Liam’s death earlier this week.
TMZ reported Liam fell from a third-story balcony at CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Costa Rica. The publication said that several witnesses saw Liam fall from the balcony just after 5pm on Wednesday evening, local time.
At the time of publishing, Niall Horan was yet to post about Liam’s death.
What did One Direction say about Liam’s death?
Harry posted a photo of Liam to Instagram, and said he is “truly devastated” by Liam’s passing.
“His greatest joy was making other people happy, and it was an honour to be alongside him as he did it,” he wrote.
“My heart breaks for Karen, Geoff, Nicola and Ruth, his son Bear, and all those around the world who loved him, as I did.”
Louis also paid his respects on the social media platform, saying he is “beyond devastated” about losing a “brother”.
“I first met Liam when he was 16 and I was 18, I was instantly amazed by his voice but more importantly as time went on I got a chance to see the kind brother I’d longed all my life for,” he wrote on Instagram.
“Payno, my boy, one of my best friends, my brother, I love you mate. Sleep well X.”
Some sleuthing fans have spotted My Kitchen Rules (MKR) 2024‘s Lawrence Murphy on a popular TV series, raising questions about his career as an actor.
One MKR viewer took to a Facebook group to share a photo of Lawrence in a jury scene on Aussie Drama The Twelve Season 2.
And his IMDB profile shows that The Twelve isn’t Lawrence’s only acting credit.

The home cook was the lead in the movie Lies Within Us and had parts in He Aint Heavy and Before Dawn, the latter of which was nominated for an award at the Vienna Film Festival.

Lawrence’s girlfriend Hannah was on Big Brother
Lawrence isn’t the only home cook on his team with experience in front of the camera. His girlfriend Hannah Campbell was on Big Brother. She came in 10th place and lasted 27 days in the house.
“I thought if I can do Big Brother, being locked in a house with randoms, I could do MKR,” she told TV WEEK.
“But let me tell you, MKR was 1000 times harder. I would do Big Brother every single year if I could. MKR, I don’t think I’d go back and do that!”

Fans react to Lawrence’s acting career
MKR fans have had mixed reactions to discovering that Lawrence is an actor.
Some assumed that — given his career history — he was a producer plant on the show.
“It’s pretty bad now to know that these so-called TV competition shows could all be rigged with some of them being actors to increase the shows viewing and writing interesting storylines in them. Very disappointing,” one person wrote.
However, others say that just because Lawrence is an actor doesn’t mean he can’t be an aspiring cook, too.
“Who cares? Every person around that table has a job, I’m sure. He just happens to be a small-time actor and has been for a while. He has probably been in many ads and shows as a background fill-in, but no one noticed until now,” a user wrote.
Watch MKR on Mondays and Tuesdays at 7.30 pm on 7 and 7plus.
