    Love is Blind: Season 8

    First up, we dive headfirst into LIV Golf 2025 and our official realisation that we’re done with lining up for things.  In the world of Australian TikTok drama, we dissect the Jordan Tan vs. Jack McIntosh drama, unpacking the cringeworthy encounter and the important conversations it sparked about consent, boundaries, and male ego. We also call out Kayla Itsines for her hypocritical rant about "hyper-sexualised" fitness content, given her own history of profiting off women's body insecurities.  We’re drowning in reality TV lately. This week, we share our lukewarm takes on the latest season of Love is Blind. With the biggest cast ever, this Minneapolis season is surprisingly boring and forgettable. We're also back in the Hamptons with Summer House, discussing Paige and Craig's breakup, the cheating rumors, and Lexi and Jesse's hilarious dynamic. And of course, we can't forget MAFS. We break down all the couples, from Carina & Paul to Jacqui and Ryan and their "crazy eyes" drama. Plus, we discuss the brewing cheating scandal with Sierah and Adrian, and Morena's explosive appearance on Abbie Chatfield's podcast, where she spilled some serious tea (and maybe broke contract?). Finally, we wrap things up with Danika’s latest read: The Wrong Daughter by Dandy Smith. This popcorn thriller about a kidnapping, family secrets, and unexpected twists is perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Jeneva Rose, or Sally Hepworth.   Follow us on socials: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedeluludiariespod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thedeluludiariespod Danika's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danikarbrown Caitlin's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/caitlinsltr

    Apple Cider Vinegar

    It was the Grammys for the girls last week, with huge performances and wins by Docheii, Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter, plus Beyonce FINALLY went home with her first ever Album of the Year award. Netflix’s latest series, Apple Cider Vinegar, was released over the weekend too and Caitlin shares her initial thoughts on the dramatised look at the life of wellness guru Belle Gibson, who had a large social media following, where she pretended to be suffering from cancer but keeping the disease under control using self-care therapies. She confessed that none of it was true. We recap a week of MAFS, with the couples entering challenge week. As always, the men proved to be weasels while the women were starting to realise they are too good for their ‘husbands’.  We wrap this week’s episode with Caitlin’s review of The Reunion by Bronwyn Rivers: Ten years ago, six teenagers hiked into the Blue Mountains wilderness - and only five came out alive. The survivors have barely seen each other since the tragic bushwalk. Yet when an invitation arrives to attend a 10-year memorial of their friend's death, Hugh, Charlotte, Alex, Laura and Jack find themselves travelling back into the rugged landscape where it all began. The weekend at an isolated homestead in the bush - no phone signal, no distractions - should be a chance to reflect and reconnect. But each of the friends has been carrying secrets from the fateful hike. And someone will stop at nothing to get the truth.    Follow us on socials: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedeluludiariespod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thedeluludiariespod Danika's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danikarbrown Caitlin's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/caitlinsltr   Watch the episode in full on YouTube: https://youtu.be/UqhxjHXUKnY

    MAFS Season 12

    This week's episode is packed with drama! First, we spill the tea on a huge influencer feud: Australian influencer Mikaela Testa's explosive 9-minute video exposing fellow influencer Anna Paul for alleged manipulation and exploitation of her young followers to boost OnlyFans subscriptions. We then dive headfirst into the chaos of Married At First Sight (MAFS) Australia Season 12! From the weddings and walkouts to the tears and those wedding guests, we're breaking down everything from the first week with our highly opinionated recap. We discuss who we're already loving and who we're already hating. After all that reality TV drama, we're switching gears to discuss the critically acclaimed film We Live In Time starring Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield. Prepare for some unpopular opinions on this highly popular movie – you might be surprised by what we have to say! Finally, we're sharing what's on our reading lists: The Wrong Daughter by Dandy Smith and The Reunion by Bronwyn Rivers.

    BOOK CLUB: The Ledge by Christian White

    WELCOME TO THE DELULU DIARIES BOOK CLUB! Each month, we will be releasing a dedicated episode to our book club read for that month, and to kick things off, we're starting with The Ledge by Christian White. When human remains are discovered in a forest, police are baffled, the locals are shocked and one group of old friends starts to panic. Their long-held secret is about to be uncovered. It all began in 1999 when sixteen-year-old Aaron ran away from home, drawing his friends into an unforeseeable chain of events that no one escaped from unscathed. In The Ledge, past and present run breathlessly parallel, leading to a climax that will change everything you thought you knew. This is a mind-bending new novel from the master of the unexpected.   Join the Delulu Diaries book club on Fable and be part of the conversation: https://fable.co/club/delulu-diaries-book-club-with-caitlin-slater-173952701938   Follow us on socials: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedeluludiariespod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thedeluludiariespod Danika's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danikarbrown Caitlin's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/caitlinsltr   Watch the episode in full on YouTube: https://youtu.be/UqhxjHXUKnY

    Prime Target

    This week, Caitlin is starting us off with a detailed review of her latest podcast obsession, The Con: Kaitlyn’s Baby by CBC & BBC World Service about a woman conning doulas with multiple fake pregnancies. We take a look at the 2025 Oscar nominations to see who is up for awards and who got snubbed (cough cough Challengers) before diving right into our viewing for the week. Despite our busy week, we managed to watch the first episode of the three part reunion for The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City S5 (Hayu) and Apple TV’s newest series starring Leo Woodall, Prime Target. We take an early look at an exciting new series by Mindy Kaling starring Kate Hudson called Running Point (Netflix), a basketball themed, workplace comedy dubbed the next Nobody Wants This by Mamamia.  We wrap this week’s episode with Danika’s review of Rebecca Yarros’ Iron Flame and our first thoughts on the third installment in the series, Onyx Storm.   Follow us on socials: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedeluludiariespod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thedeluludiariespod Danika's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danikarbrown Caitlin's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/caitlinsltr   Watch the episode in full on YouTube: https://youtu.be/UqhxjHXUKnY

    Molly Mae Behind It All

    Happy Monday girly pops! With Onyx Storm releasing this week, Danika is crashing out trying to finish Iron Flame. She's also discovered a new hidden talent: tarot card reading. Caitlin dives right into the major news story of the week: the arrest and charging of an Australian influencer for poisoning her baby girl to elicit donations and boost online followers. We then jump into our latest viewing: Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action (Netflix), Molly Mae Behind It All (Amazon Prime) and The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City finale (Hayu), which might we add, was the most batshit and iconic finale ever (thanks Angie K). Caitlin reviews one of our latest reads: an advanced readers copy of Three Little Lies by Danielle Stewart, coming out March 13.   Follow us on socials: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedeluludiariespod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thedeluludiariespod Danika's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danikarbrown Caitlin's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/caitlinsltr   Watch the episode in full on YouTube: https://youtu.be/UqhxjHXUKnY

    Nosferatu

    This week, Caitlin talks about her experience braving Sounds by the River with the oldies in 37-degree heat while Danika decompresses from her first week back at work.  We discuss the tragic and terrifying fires in LA, from the TikToks we have seen to the celebrities impacted by the devastation and Spencer Pratt's unexpected success after losing his home. In a complete 180, we talk about Lily Allen's split from her husband, David Harbour, after finding him cheating on her. Earlier in the week, we made a visit to our favourite place on Earth, the cinema, and saw Nosferatu starring Lily-Rose Depp, Bill Skarsgård, Willem Dafoe, Emma Corrin, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Nicholas Hoult. We deep dive into the history of the film and our thoughts on this gothic tale of a horny vampire. Caitlin reviews the 2023 film, Bottoms, starring Rachel Sennott and Ayo Edebiri before we dive into our latest reality TV viewing: Selling the City (Netflix), Southern Charm (Bravo) and Real Housewives of Salt Lake City (Bravo).  To wrap up the week, Caitlin talks about her latest read: Talking at Night by Clarie Daverely, while Danika talks about her qualms with Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros.   Follow us on socials: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedeluludiariespod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thedeluludiariespod Danika's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danikarbrown Caitlin's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/caitlinsltr   Watch the episode in full on YouTube: https://youtu.be/UqhxjHXUKnY

    Squid Game: Season 2

    Happy New Year, girlie pops! We're diving deep into everything we've been watching and reading and what we're hyped for in 2025. First up, we're venturing into the world of body horror with The Substance (Amazon Prime), starring Demi Moore as a fading celebrity who takes drastic measures to reclaim her youth with some seriously freaky side effects. We also check back in with Seong Gi-hun in Squid Game Season 2 (Netflix). This season promises to be even more politically charged, with creator Hwang Dong-hyuk exploring the conflicts arising from the choices we make. Plus, we're spilling the tea on the K-pop connections! Then, we're blasting off into space with Alien: Romulus (Disney+), a thrilling addition to the Alien franchise. We rave about the acting, especially David Jonsson as the AI Andy, whose transformation is seriously mind-blowing. On the book front, we've got a mixed bag of reads. We start with the heartwarming yet grumpy charm of A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman, followed by the mind-bending premise of The Husbands by Holly Gramazio, where changing a lightbulb changes your entire life (and husband!). We also discuss Talking at Night by Claire Daverley, a poignant love story spanning years and marked by tragedy. Our January book club pick, The Ledge by Christian White, gets some love, as does Evenings and Weekends by Oisin McKenna, a literary fiction gem reminiscent of Love Actually, exploring the lives of interconnected friends during a London heatwave. We also dive into more of Fredrik Backman's work with The Answer Is No, a short and sweet read about a man who hates decisions, and She’s Always Hungry by Eliza Clark, a collection of short stories exploring human hunger and desire (which, sadly, didn't quite hit the mark for us). Finally, we celebrate the brilliance of Greta & Valdin by Rebecca K Reilly, a witty and chaotic story about siblings navigating adulthood and love.   Get your hands on Delulu merch: https://thedeluludiariespod.theprintbar.com/   Follow us on socials: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedeluludiariespod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thedeluludiariespod Danika's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danikarbrown Caitlin's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/caitlinsltr   Watch the episode in full on YouTube: https://youtu.be/UqhxjHXUKnY
