Already Saturday

This week on Already Saturday we enter the Big Brother house with special guest James Law, and discuss the VIPs in the house (plus Meghan Markle's brother, who's also there). Big Brother is watching, but is Trump? Omarosa certainly thinks he is tuning in to 7Plus to spy on her, but we aren't so sure. Caitlyn Jenner's reality show experience is paying off big time in the BB house, too. We also have some insight on what her trip to Australia cost her run in the California Gubernatorial Recall Election.

We also discuss the latest season of Succession, and wonder why anti-heroes (like Kendall, Shiv, Roman and Logan Roy) rule the small screen in the modern TV era.

Already Saturday is an independent podcast, hosted and produced by Sydney-based journalists Phoebe Loomes and Nathan Jolly.

This week on Already Saturday, we open by bragging about how tough we were to survive the AZ shivers, before diving into a critical look at why this season of The Bachelor isn't hitting the right notes. The ratings are down, the drama is toothless, and all the women keep walking out of the mansion.

We have a few theories on why this may be, ahead of the season finale.

And because there is no televisual way to Keep Up With The Kardashians anymore, we have done a news sweep to bring you the latest and greatest news about the Kardashian clan and all their extended family. We've got a run for political office, the most boring soft drink range ever, inappropriate middle-aged PDAs, a new swim-wear line, and an ex-flame who's moving back to California.

This week on Already Saturday, we talk about the current seasons of The Bachelor and Survivor.

Who will Bachelor Jimmy pick? Does a comment he made on The Project hold the key to who he chose? Why does he take flight simulators so seriously? We discuss all this and more.

Survivor is also into the business end of the season, and we discuss George from Bankstown, a Labor political strategist who has found his role in the tribe as annoying but useful guy - it's probably a smart move, given that big game hunters have already picked off a few of the favourites.

This week on Already Saturday, we go deep on the latest season of Beauty and the Geek, and how it's a breath of fresh air during the pandemic.

We also discuss Kanye West's latest album, and ask why he is currently living in a dorm-style locker room in a stadium, racing to finish the record. Don't worry, we are as confused by Yeezy Season 2021 as you are.

We also check in on the Olympics and discuss Simone Biles' shock exit from the Games, and how fandom can be a possessive pursuit.

This week on Already Saturday, Sydney has been plunged into a lockdown, again.

During the week, Britney Spears gave a shocking and heartbreaking testimonial about the controversial conservatorship she is under, and the inhumane treatment she has been subject to. We discuss the bombshell revelations, and how in hell this can all happen legally, and in relatively plain sight.

Liz Phair, Justin Timberlake, Rose McGowan, and Tucker Carlson (yup) have also commented on the #freebritney movement, and we comment on them commenting.

Australian musician The Kid Laroi has just been signed up by Scooter Braun, manager of Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato and more. This comes after the Aboriginal teenager had a top three US album, hit songs with Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber, a brilliant SNL performance, and became the youngest Aussie to top the ARIA charts - so why isn't mainstream Australian media paying attention? 

Australian designer Camilla reacted to criticism of her misguided collection that 'glamourises colonialism' by launching a more inclusive runway show with Pip Edwards at Australian Fashion Week, and boy did it go wrong! 

Elsewhere, Kanye West has been spotted with his new lover Irina Shayk (in France, on his birthday, of course), and Harry and Meghan welcome their new baby Lilibet into the world - but not without a lot of controversy.

Instagram influencers keep hitting out at Netflix production Byron Baes — but have they shot themselves in the (shoeless) foot? The streaming service draws in hundreds of millions of viewers, and this program could be one of Australia’s biggest ever reality series.

Online vigilantes Anonymous have sent a warning to Tesla CEO Elon Musk, so is the beloved billionaire in for a wake up call, or is he just a loveable genius? Or both? Or neither? 

And a new auction of Marilyn Monroe’s only known cookbooks has revealed some of her hand-written notes and one of the diets she used to follow. We go into what the silver screen siren ate (spoiler: it's a starch and egg-fest) and we explore another ill-informed diet from the 1960s that you really shouldn't follow if you want to be a functional human.

Listen to our interview with Emma Swift, who released her critically acclaimed album Blonde On The Tracks in 2020.

Emma talked to Already Saturday, from hotel quarantine in Sydney, about releasing a successful record in a pandemic, living through the Donald Trump presidency in a Republican state, and how Nashville, Tennessee is a lot like meeting a new boyfriend.

She also talked about how streaming services affect indie artists, and shared details on her upcoming work — saying she’s been inspired by musicians like The Go-Betweens, Nick Cave, and The Triffids — Aussies who fled overseas to find themselves.

Spoiler alert: YUCKO! 

We review Hungry Jack's Yumbo, the only burger in the world to contain two heat-blasted slices of plastic cheese, smothered in five warm slices of sub-deli-quality ham. You can smell it well before you can taste it. And well afterwards, too.

Welcome to Already Saturday, and you are very welcome to it. It's the weekend, so delete all your weekday computer files and settle in to listen to the latest gossip about all that truly matters.

This week, we blow the lid off a Kardashians scandal that has laid dormant for years - did we find proof that Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and Kourtney have been close for longer than they admit? 

Justin Bieber released his new album 'Justice' yesterday, and the dance band with the same name have sent him a cease and desist, claiming the crucifix-adorned lettering he uses on his album art is a little too... familiar. 

Paris Hilton finally explains that iconic car photo with Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears, and has no regrets about her wild nights out on the town, despite being hounded by paparazzi. She also reviews her own birthday party.

We also discuss Jimmy Fallon's insane Willy Wonka-esque three-storey Manhattan apartment, and the worm-like renovations he undertook to make his Richie Rich-type dreams come true (including his very own speakeasy-style dive bar) and whether a new proposal legalisation for Netflix, Disney Plus, and Amazon Prime could turn Australia into Hollywood? Hemsworth is doing his best to make this happen, but he needs some help!
