He became one of the breakout stars of Married At First Sight Australia last year, but life after it wasn't exactly what Dave Hand expected. The self-described "gentle giant" found himself navigating one of TV’s biggest experiments, alongside sudden fame and online scrutiny all while his dad was undergoing cancer treatment. And this year he swapped one reality TV juggernaut for another, joining Netflix's Perfect Match alongside stars from Love Is Blind, Love Island, Vanderpump Rules and Too Hot To Handle. In this episode of The Weekend Briefing, Dave joins Chris Spyrou to unpack the reality behind reality TV, from MAFS dinner parties to producer relationships, tattoo regrets and how he managed to avoid Bali belly while filming in ... Mexico.

As a wave of safeguarding scandals hits the Married At First Sight (MAFS) shows around the world and the former head of Channel 4 and OFCOM says he would never have commissioned a show this potentially hazardous for participants we ask is this a good moment to call time on the controversial reality series. Former MAFS UK star, Liverpudlian Thomas Hartley returns to Outcast World a different man from the one who last sat in our studio. As Married at First Sight UK brings one of the biggest scandals to TV in years, he gives us the rarest thing in the whole story, the view from inside the format. Back in 2022 he was going viral for his antics on the show's 10th season, but now he says he was out of control at the time and was drunk for most of the recording. He is unsparing about ten years of daily addiction and the queer pain underneath it, but generous about the welfare team who looked after him, and unflinching that the format itself is dangerous and should be redrawn by the very people who have lived it. CONTEXT: A BBC Panorama investigation set out allegations from former contributors that two women were raped by their on-screen husbands during filming, and that a third was subjected to a non-consensual sex act. The men deny the allegations, and the Metropolitan Police have asked anyone affected to come forward. Channel 4 has pulled every episode and a major sponsor has walked, and the regulator is reviewing the broadcaster's own welfare report. Thomas is neither an accuser nor one of the accused, and throughout this conversation he is speaking only about his own experience. Other contributors, and the reporting around the show, have described aspects of the production, including alcohol, differently to Thomas. If anything in this episode affects you.

Deze keer een iets andere aflevering. Timo, Tom en Sophie bespreken de schandalen rondom MAFS UK. Afgelopen week kwam naar buiten dat twee vrouwen zijn verkracht tijdens de opnames van Married At First Sight UK. Een derde vrouw heeft melding gemaakt van vermeend seksueel geweld. Ze zeggen dat het programma onvoldoende heeft gedaan om hen te beschermen, dat de producent op de hoogte was van de beschuldigingen voor de afleveringen werden uitgezonden en dat ze er toch gewoon mee zijn doorgegaan. Inmiddels is de Britse show volledig van de buis en zijn alle seizoenen per direct van de streamingplatforms verwijderd. Wat zegt dit over Reality TV en wat betekent dit schandaal voor de toekomst van MAFS? Heb jij iets meegemaakt, of ken je iemand die iets heeft meegemaakt en wil je erover praten? Dan kun je 24/7 terecht bij Centrum Seksueel geweld op 0800-0188. Praat je liever met de politie, bel dan 0900-8844 of een politiebureau bij je in de buurt.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#156 - Isa heeft een feestweek achter de rug, dus die mogen we best nog even doortrekken naar vandaag (afvallen kan altijd nog).

Hello EICorroborators! Happy Friday and welcome back to Everything Is Content- your one stop podcast shop for everything pop culture and beyond.This week- and trigger warning for discussion of sexual violence and abuse- we're discussing BBC Panorama's harrowing new documentary ‘The Dark Side of Married at First Sight' in which former MAFs UK contestant Shona Manderson alleges that her on-screen partner had sex with her without a condom against her wishes. She alleges the team took her to get the morning after pill, but that nothing else was done. The show has pulled all of its episodes from the internet while discussions continue to rage on about how reality TV can't seem to stop failing its subjects. We share our takes as (former) fans of the show.Next up we're talking about Harry Styles' new tour- which has been criticised after some attendees reported having little to no visibility of their fav as he happily scampered around his enormous walkway stage set-up. Has the singer prioritised his Strava over his set design? We investigate.Then we mull over Jacob Elordi's love life after the actor was spotted out and about with model and the inventor of tequila, Kendall Jenner. The internet has separated into two camps in response to the possible pairing- people saying "huh??" and people saying "duh...". Plus: Everything In Conversation with... Kylie?Also (and we're sorry) we chat about Elon Musk's latest MORONIC OUTBURST after the friendless loser suggested that Oscar winning actress and generational beauty Lupita Nyong'o was somehow badly cast as the fictional generational beauty Helen of Troy in Christopher Nolan's upcoming adaptation of Homer's Odyssey. We insult Elon Musk's pathetic existence discuss with consideration for all sides.And finally we revisit the topic of internet fakery and advertising creep after a new piece in Vulture by Lane Brown suggested that just about everything we see online nowadays has been placed there to sell us something. From the piece: "On social media, popular opinion is being formed, measured, and manipulated all at once, and every signal the platforms produce... can now be fabricated by unseen actors with hidden agendas." In other words... is it time to log off?This week Ruchira was loving Legends on Netflix and Lost Lambs by Madeline Cash, Oenone was loving Sister Europe by Nell Zink and Beth was loving SNL UK and London Falling by Patrick Radden Keefe. Thank you SO much for listening, commenting, agreeing, disagreeing, sharing us on socials or leaving us a review. It means the world and really does help us keep making the show. See you Wednesday!

On this episode of Where's Your Head At, we are joined by Gia Fleur who was one of the most explosive participants on the show this season. We have seen nothing but chaos this season of MAFS with no real context or answers, so we wanted to chat to Gia about it all: from her most regrettable moments to the very real backlash she lives with today. This is in no way an endorsement of the behaviour we saw on the show, but moreso a real conversation about reality TV & accountability. Enjoy x See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We’re breaking down the chaotic Married at First Sight reunion, and if you thought the finale was dramatic, nothing could prepare us for the secret audio that caught one groom’s terrifying true colours.This week, the scorecard for the season was officially tallied - and with only one couple walking in together, we need to talk about why this year felt like an exercise in public humiliation for the women involved.Plus we discuss the fallout from the Danny/Steph/Bec triangle. We’re dissecting the story they told about those leaked bikini photos and how that aggressive off-camera audio proves why this groom might be one of the most manipulative contestants the show has ever seen.Plus, we’re unpacking the logic behind Steven’s "seasonal" approach to romance (spoiler: there is none) and hear why his pathetic excuses had us feeling "broken but hopeful" for the end of the season.Love binge-watching TV?

Alissa had - to put it mildly - a rollercoaster on this season of MAFS. Alissa went fiery wedding ceremony, to being relentlessly bullied by fellow participants - then from what seemed like a rock solid relationship to being left at the altar at final vows.

Helllo friends! Welcome to the EIChapel! This week we're making a vow to you all to cover interesting stories, dive deep into the discourse and share yet another bouquet of excellent recommendations.First up we're discussing a pretty grim story out of Manchester, after a school librarian revealed she had been asked to remove a host of book titles from her shelves. These books included Heartstopper, The Da Vinci Code, 1984, We Should All Be Feminists and Men Who Hate Women by Laura Bates. We discuss the importance of reading beyond your age group and why we think these decisions fail children rather than protect them.Secondly we're untangling some thorny feminist internet discourse, after one Gen Z account accused millennial feminism of being sex-obsessed, shallow and misguided. They wrote "Gen Z is kinda clocking millennial/Gen X feminists tea. Y'all said/say men are trash but then advocate for having casual sex with many of them and partaking in kinks that may be harmful. It never made sense." We unpack this idea and interrogate the feminist messaging that we grew up with and whether our attitudes to sex really have been harmful to younger generations.And finally- Kristoffer Borgli's new Zendaya/R-Pattz fronted film The Drama. If you've not heard about it, then congratulations on being born literally this morning. To catch you up: what starts as a gorgeous meet-cute becomes something else after Emma (Zendaya) shares the worst thing she's ever done during a pre-wedding dinner with her maid of honour (Alana Haim), her husband (Mamoudou Athie), and Charlie (Edward Cullen Robert Pattinson). Don't worry- we signpost our spoilers very clearly.Thanks so much to Cue Podcasts for the edit and for all of you listening at home!----------This week Ruchira was loving MAFs and reformer pilates, Oenone was loving The XX radio on Spotify and hating Leave The World Behind, and Beth was loving learning her lesson about ChatGPT and Dandelion Is Dead by Rosie Storey.School book banning escalates in the UK as Greater Manchester secondary school censors scores of books - Index on CensorshipQueer author from Essex devastated after school removes book - BBC NewsMen Who Hate Women by Laura BatesNo, Millennial Feminism Did Not Trick You by Michaele Makusha on SubstackRoger Ebert - The Drama review by Robert Daniels Hosted on Acast.

On the show today, we’re breaking down the two-part finale of Married at First Sight Australia, and even if you think you’ve seen it all, you are going to want to hear about the secret footage that didn’t make the final edit.This week we saw the rise of the "out-victim the victim" strategy and a dinner party that felt more like a scripted movie than reality, and we need to talk about the fallout from Gia and Scott’s explosive exit.Plus, the aftermath of the final vows was brutal, with one groom delivering a mic-drop line that left us cheering and his bride flailing. We need to explain why Bec’s "delulu" behaviour in the forest had us screaming at the screen and what "cross-pollination" means for the upcoming reunion. Love binge-watching TV?

The final trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2 has dropped (excited!) and we break down every juicy detail, like which celeb cameos we’re expecting and whether Andy will finally turn on Miranda Priestly with a definitive exposé.Plus we’re loving the reveal about how many babies have come from Survivor US crew members finding love behind the scenes of the show. Lucky we have our own reality TV expert Tina Provis to answer the most asked questions she gets - like whether contestants are actually "manipulated" by producers and what really happens during those mysterious "dark days" when the cameras stop rolling (intense!).And with Euphoria season 3 back on Monday, we cover everything you need to know before it starts, like the off-screen friction between Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney and how social media "thirst traps" may be fuelling one of Hollywood's most speculated feuds.

Vic is joined by journalist and author Jenny Valentish for a warm, funny and honest conversation about introversion, overstimulation and knowing when it's time to quietly exit stage left.Jenny is the author of An Introvert's Guide to Leaving the House, a brilliant and reassuring book about navigating the world without pretending to be more extroverted than you are. It's not about becoming louder or more outgoing. It's about understanding your social limits, honouring your wiring and building a life that actually suits you.Both originally from Berkshire, Vic and Jenny bond over British roots and swap stories about “brownouts”, and no, it's not what you think. They chat about social batteries, the pressure to perform, and how to recognise when you've tipped from “coping fine” into “I need to go home immediately”.If you've ever stayed too long out of politeness, or wondered whether staying in is self-care or avoidance, this episode will help you work it out. And yes, sometimes the most emotionally intelligent thing you can do is leave early and go home to watch MAFS.Find out more about Jenny and her incredible books and more at instagram.com/jennyvalentish_publicAnd valentish.net because she loves nothing more than helping people write their addiction stories as a writing teacher.
