Show Notes
Can you believe it - The Bachelor is back on Australian TV! This week, The Golden Bachelor AU made its official premiere, and we're putting our expertise to good use in pulling apart the first week of the show. Is playing it safe the right move for the producers, or does it feel like more of the same? We analyse the limo exits, first dates, and the woman who at least seems to be getting a slight villain edit (but it's too soon to tell). If you're wondering if you have to watch the show to listen to the pod - you definitely don't! But we were pleasantly surprised by a lot of things on the TV this week, and you might be too. Let us know how you feel about Week 1 on our socials @bohpod and share the pod with a friend for extra brownie points! 🌹

This week, Traitors AU S3 came to its thrilling conclusion, in a nail-biting finale that gave us plenty of space to appreciate the amazing characters on this season. We’re particularly moved by the iconoclastic presence of perhaps Australian reality TV’s biggest enigma, Keira Maguire, who we’ve been championing on this podcast for over a decade now. Between Keira, the endlessly charming Rhys Nicholson, the shrewdly sagacious Kirby Bentley, and the effortlessly iconic Krissy Marsh, this finale gave us all we could have asked for. Bask in the glory with us!
This week, we’re joined by Ione Skye and Ben Lee to discuss the penultimate week of Traitors AU S3! We applaud the conspiratorial efforts of the fruitiest Conclave in Traitors history, and analyse the various efforts of the Faithful to heterosexually dethrone them - from the alpha-male bravado of the Twins to the branching paths presented by Keira and Tully. Plus - how would Ben and Ione fare on the show? Are the cast members hooking up? And how can we get the cast eating a proper breakfast? All this plus our finale predictions, and of course a shout out to Griffin Feldman! Subscribe to Ione and Ben’s podcast Weirder Together on YouTube or wherever you get podcasts! Pick up Ione’s memoir Say Everything in stores now, and catch Ben on tour with Georgia Maq later this month! Get in touch with us at @bohpod / [email protected]!

This week, Max is joined by guest cohost Callan Brunsdon to break down all the action from episodes 7 and 8 of the Traitors Australia. What happened with AJ? Which twin is the most disgraceful? And is it possible that our dear Xavier RN could be the REAL traitor? All will be revealed.
This was a big, juicy week for The Traitors AU - thanks to some expert detective work and a duplicitous auto-cannabilistic sacrifice, the first Traitor has been banished from the game. We break down how it all went down and speculate on what the best next steps are for Traitor and Faithful alike. Plus, is Gretel’s character subtly bi? Is it cruel to kick a dog when it’s down? And is Alex getting off on all this? Get in touch with us at @bohpod / [email protected]!

This week, we're diving even deeper into The Traitors AU's third season. As the Faithfuls' numbers are gradually chipped away, we focus on the important things, such as what food is looking yummy, and what's going on with the background music? Plus - Mediterranean Communication, Max's cousin Palan Quin, and an unexpected visit from Mr. Tickles. Get in touch with us at @bohpod / [email protected]!
