Sexy Baby Wakefield is back to chat about British HIGH SOCIETY DARRLING. And I mean Ladies of London, Vanderpump Villa, Real Housewives and more.

Australian Survivor Redemption is almost KAPUT and Shane and Sam have a medium sized amount of things to say about it. Returnees are dead, my shopping trolley murdered, my Keeley just gone, and I don’t like it. Caleb is ratbagging, Cameron is stinking and Sally is well.. doing her best? This poor Jury is gonna have a hard task, lol. That and how these two feel gut punched by the edit this week.
