TV RELOAD Benjamin Norris

Hi Guys, welcome back to TV Reload. Thank you for clicking or downloading on today’s episode with Sue the 11th eliminated contestant on Masterchef Australia. Which is on Network Ten from Sunday through to Wednesday nights at 7:30.


Married to high school sweetheart Glenn for 33 years, and together for 43, Sue is an extrordnary mum to son and daughter. Most recently, Sue was Head of Customer Experience for a building company, but when its collapse left her unexpectedly unemployed, she was able to reassess her priorities. With the encouragement of all at home, sue took on the Masterchef kitchen and while we didn’t always see a lot of her - I think audiences did really connect with her story.

I loved catching up with Sue today and I am sure you will enjoy our chat which gives us a whole new Sue to fall in love with.



Sue will talk about her invisibility. What she thought of that nickname, if she felt invisible in the kitchen and how she turned spotting herself into a game.
We will also unpack the reason why the contestants this year have falling in love with Poh. Who seems to be most of the guests this year’s favourite
I will ask about her Sue’s children who she wanted to inspire and what it meant to them to see her on the show!
We will also discuss the behind the scenes relation with Sameet and how they bonded and kept themselves buy in between filming. 

There is so much to unpack with Sue. So sit back and relax as we unpack her time in the Masterchef Australia.

Hi Guys, welcome back to TV Reload. Thank you for clicking or downloading on today’s episode with the winner of Channel Nine’s The Summit! Which finished this week in a nail biting and somewhat polarising finale!


In the last episode we saw an obstacle challenge for the final hikers' nerves, plus a brutal sacrifice. Then it all ended with in agonising decision for one hiker; the ascent to the summit was never going to be easy and I have all the behind the scenes goss!

I have to say I don’t usually see as much negativity online for a decision on a reality show and I am disappointed that so many people have been saying Charlotte should have split the money evenly… it is a game and we all don’t know what we would have done in Charlotte's situation. 



I will talk about the highs and lows of climbing The Summit. From the conditions to the hard decisions. The Choice to not split the money and what Charlotte will remember now that the experience is behind her. 
We will unpack trolls online and how to deal with the comments section. With some insights into who have been her biggest supporters and what Charlottes friendship looks like with Simmone and Matt!
Charlotte will talk about her disability and what she did to prepare for the show. Including what we didn’t see was a big disadvantage! 
You will find out what the host Jai is really like and if those helicopters are as menacing as they look!

There is so much to unpack with Charlotte. So sit back and relax as we unpack the world of The Summit!

Hi Guys, welcome back to TV Reload. Thank you for clicking or downloading on today’s episode with David the 10th eliminated contestant on Masterchef Australia. Which is on Network Ten from Sunday through to Wednesday nights at 7:30.


With a degree in pharmacology and toxicology to his name, David Tan’s day job is as a national clinical trials administrator. While he is committed to his important work with cancer patients on their crucial treatments, David put his profession on hold to see where his MasterChef Australia journey may take him.

Growing up in Singapore, in a food culture that underpins society, David jokes that eating is the national hobby and notes that his family of five would think nothing of driving to Malaysia on the weekend just for lunch.

I loved catching up with David today and I am sure you will enjoy our chat which  is filled with his humble attitude. 



Steve will talk about his journey to MasterChef Australia and what sort of preparation he put in to his abilities including what dish he worried the most about.
We will also unpack his international cooking and if that is an advantage to being a skilled chef. 
I will find out why he connected with Poh and who he now wants to win!
We will also discuss the contestants who came back. Who he thought should have returned and if he knows why two of them eliminated participants were not there?

There is so much to unpack with David. So sit back and relax as we unpack his time in the Masterchef Australia.

Hi Guys, welcome back to TV Reload. Thank you for clicking or downloading on today’s episode with Steve the 9th eliminated contestant on Masterchef Australia. Which is on Network Ten from Sunday through to Wednesday nights at 7:30.


Steve’s experimentation in the kitchen saw him stand out to the judges, fellow contestants and fans of the show. His love of Australian native ingredients sits in tandem with his favourite refined flavours.

A self-taught cook, Steve’s cookbook collection tallies upwards of 70 and he says it all started with his Mum gifting him the Australian Women’s Weekly cookbook at age 18, a resource which, to this day he still treasures.

Father to two adult sons, Steve has been fortunate to travel the world with work, experiencing many cuisines on his travels. Japanese and French are amongst his favourites, the former for its simplicity and the latter for its complexity.

I loved catching up with Steve today and I am sure you will enjoy our chat which  is filled with a similar warmth he put into his cooking.



Steve will talk about his journey to Masterchef and how he was nearly the first contestant ever to step into the kitchen.
We will also unpack his age and how agism still plays an unfortunate card in Australian work places. 
I will find out who of the Masterchef judges have contacted him since the filming ended and how Jamie Oliver surprised him. 
We will also discuss what big change he would make when preparing his food and why making your food with extra can help you survive elimination.

There is so much to unpack with Stephen. So sit back and relax as we unpack his time in the Masterchef Australia.

Hi Guys, welcome back to TV Reload. Thank you for clicking or downloading on today’s episode with Snezana the 8th eliminated contestant on Masterchef Australia. Which is on Network Ten from Sunday through to Wednesday nights at 7:30.


With food always on the brain, it’s little wonder Snezana has found her way to the MasterChef Australia kitchen. At breakfast, she’s thinking about lunch; at lunch, she’s planning dinner; and she reads cookbooks to relax. 

Snezana started cooking around age seven, learning her skills in the kitchen from observing her Mum over the years and heavily inspired by traditional Serbian culture.

Showing her love through food to her own family now, she cooks for husband Aleks, daughter Lenka, aged seven and son Lazar, five. The extended family are also a big bunch of foodies, and Snezana is proud that her own daughter is showing a keen interest.

I loved catching up with Snez today and I am sure you will enjoy our chat which details her final cook last night.



Snez will talk about her knowledge of desserts what she knew of Anna Polyviou’s resume
We will also unpack the debate over presentation vs flavour! To see what Snez thinks of the way in which the judges make their critics.
I will find out who Snez would like to see win, who her favourite judge is and I will even get a couple of recipe recommendations. 
We will also discuss what Snez had to give up and leave behind to take part in the show 

There is so much to unpack with Snezana. So sit back and relax as we unpack her time in the Masterchef Australia.

Hi Guys, welcome back to TV Reload. Thank you for clicking or downloading on today’s episode with three of the hardest working TV presenters in Australia. We have Jonathan Lapalia, Beau Ryan and Blair Joscelyne and we will be unpacking the new Top Gear Australia season. Now available on Paramount +.

(I have to say I don’t normally have three people on the pod at once and these guys were pretty wild but I do my best to make sure you can still get to hear them all as clearly as I could.)


The eight-part series sees Blair, Beau and JLP hitting the road in Australia, and in also places that aren’t Australia. 

Highlights include the trio testing out the very expensive various cars an Italian road trip, tackling a coffee run across the Colombian jungle, racing the new Lotus from Monaco to St Tropez against a very expensive boat, and taking on the wintery Alps.

This show is not just about cars and I have to say this a very fresh take on the popular series that has been made countless times all over the world. 



I will talk about the first three Top Gear Australian series and find out of the boys had watched them to get some tips.
We will unpack the danger of this series, why they mostly dress themselves and if they all had to audition for their roles.
Beau and JLP will talk about their other shows (Australian Survivor and Amazing Race) soon to go into production and what we know has been planned?
You will find out what they really think of each other and if they had ever met before filming the show.

There is so much to unpack with the boys. So sit back and relax as we unpack the world of Top Gear Australia!
