A fun episode and I'm totally invested in these characters already.

First makeovers are tomorrow, @GuardianAngel!

@Bobette thanks for all the highlights!! I'm not sure I can watch this epi, it will be too late for me. Sam and Angelique The modelling was out of this world, they all looked fabulous.

Makeover's already! I won't miss that one tomorrow night!

I love all the couples. The casting department did a great job!

Sportsbet coming through with the goods as always and this outcome pleases me greatly.

Aaron has already given us so many good moments - asking Sophie (host) if he can touch her shoulder, having to ask Sophie (contestant) if she was being genuine with her compliments because "I seriously can't tell; in the past I thought people were being sincere but it turned out they weren't" ( ).  

Quite honestly he's been my favourite since I saw the wholesome Instagram content.  I mean, come on

Jayden's no-filter facial expressions are fast becoming one of my favourite parts of this season.  




Sad to see Nate and Daniella go but hopefully he will be invited back for a makeover towards the end of the season.  

I want to see him with a hipster man bun and I don't even care if they're So 2018.

@Bobette IA about Aaron. I caught that when he asked Sophie if he could touch her shoulder. He has amazing pictures on his IG. Karly: He makes so much sense, she makes no sense, and somehow it all makes sense. What is the name of that precious little animal?



This dang show brings tears to my eyes. I'm so happy when they are happy and feel so bad for them when they talk about how they feel.

Michael's makeover is fantastic! I like him and Tara together. It was so cute when she said he gives her butterflies and she's nervous around him. That segment, realizing he was holding on to the emotional mask/beard was sad and very exciting for him at the same time. What a handsome guy.

The eliminations are sad but I hope we get to see Nate's makeover.

I think it's Christopher's turn for the makeover based on next epi's previews.

@GuardianAngel It's a sugar glider! One of our many adorable marsupials

@Bobette Adorable! I just got a lesson from Wiki and watched some vids. So cute!

Episode 5 Highlights:


Mike's Nonna on the video call, or at least, the top of her head.  




The porno sax music over the flight stimulator... I mean, simulator.






And Sophie's social skills lesson.  The boys seemed to find it genuinely helpful bless them.

Surprised to see Sam and Angelique go so soon.  I suspect there was a storyline left unexplored there, so will be interested to see if anything further comes out post-show.  Either way, a fun, quirky couple.  

Another pair are sent home #BATG pic.twitter.com/29mYrgy13c

Makeover of the year tomorrow night = Christopher?



Source: 9Now

@Bobette thanks for the highlights. Too bad Sam and Angelique have been eliminated. I wouldn't be surprised if they continue exploring their relationship. They are so cute.

I think it will be Christopher's makeover turn next based on last weeks previews it looked like his silhouette. It could have been a preview of another makeover and not necessarily that he was next.

The link is up now, so off I go to watch!

Excited for this.  I could happily watch a whole show of just geek makeovers.

Episode 6

Aw Aaron.  Aaron is scared of the dogs because of their "unpredictability".  I totally get it, though this one doesn't exactly look like a man eater




I like the way Aaron is candid about the things he finds difficult.  His story arc with Karly is coming along nicely and they'll be popular winners IMO.  




I know I say it every episode but Jayden and Aimee are soooo good together.  




The cast must be having so much fun watching this.  The editing is fantastic as always - plenty of cheesey humour but never at anyone's expense.  




Heidi asking Mike whether he minds if she kisses him, as if he's not deadset gagging for it. I applaud the show for foregrounding consent and respect.




And so Christopher gets the makeover and as predicted, emerges looking like he stepped straight off the cover of Teen Heartthrob Magazine.

From Mick Jagger to Mick Swagger! 🤩 #BATG pic.twitter.com/2shg2qfahd

Gotta say, personally I prefer the scruffy 70s mullet, but I have a feeling quite a few girls will go nuts over his new look.  Enjoy, Christopher.  




Awwww Allleeexxx.  How good is it though when boys show their emotions.  Does it seem like they started the eliminations really early this season?

Another good episode - there hasn't been a dud one yet.

Episode 5 didn't disappoint. I loved the flight simulator challenge.

@Bobette IA a show just on makeovers would be awesome!

I love how these contestants are so genuine! No acting at all.

Thanks for the recaps. I'm going to have to catch up tomorrow night. Ette USA is on now.
