2d ago1:17:49

1:17:49

This week there was not enough time for us to adequately cover the full breadth and depth of even these topics: As quickly as the horror unfolded at what became the tragedy of WESTFIELD BONDI JUNCTION, so too the TV networks leapt into rolling coverage.

The Real Housewives of Sydney S02 REUNION 56:36

4M ago56:36

56:36

Hello lovers. Well...what a fucking letdown. Nicole was AWOL, and so the major conflict of the end of the season (late-gate with Terry) fell into...not very much. Kate and Caroline clashed, as did Victoria but not for why you think, while Sally was very polite and didn't upset anyone (and barely spoke). Meanwhile, Krissy didn't really get to fire u…

The Real Housewives of Sydney S02E10 1:10:13

4M ago1:10:13

1:10:13

Hello lovers. One must completely debrief any issue that happened between people from a previous ep with seventeen other people (it's a rule), so it's just as well Victoria has returned so Nicole can explain everything while Terry and Kate debrief each other, and Krissy fills Dee Dee in while buying a Chanel coat. Natch. Everything else is filler f…

1:12:49

Hello lovers. Our Tokyo trip continues and tardiness is the top of the list of issues that spring forth. Sure, we get all the standard touristy things from Krissy and Nicole and Terry and Caroline looking around the fish markets, but it's Biv's penchant for being late that gets right up Nicole's nose and opens up quite the side-taking conflict! Tha…

1:26:35

Hello lovers. We've headed overseas sans Victoria (who is understandably loving herself sick in Europe for her 40th), with the rest of the ladies on Terry's trip to boost Caroline's spirits in Tokyo! Kimono-tastic! If's it's not saké it's sushi, and if it's not sushi it's sobbing, and with it all comes Kate who is doing very well to stay out of eve…

Just when you thought you got out...they drag you back in, eh Caroline? Hello lovers. The aftermath of Killcare and 'fur-gate' looms large in this bitsa episode, however it's the efforts of Krissy and Caroline to try to broker peace between Kate and Victoria that draws everything together quite neatly.

54:28

After attending both the Foxtel and SBS Upfront events on his lonesome, Molk reflects on the announcements - corporate and content - and the general vibe of both events (which were very different - one at night, one in the middle of the day).
