Hunted is a very silly show and I have watched every minute of it. Ten’s reality breakout competition in which contestants try to stay one step ahead of the production’s professional pursuers – alternative title: Tom Clancy’s Amazing Race – is a blanket of simulation and shortcuts tied to a fantastic concept and some interesting implications. It also features a tall man with a thick beard who tries to disguise himself as “nonna” so as not to draw attention to himself. In this series being serious is always going crazy. If you’ve ever enjoyed the many sequences in Jason Bourne’s films where the supporting cast stand in a dark control room full of surveillance technology and bark orders as they chase the elusive mine, Hunted maybe for you. Based on the successful British format (they even made a celebrity edition, which is a funny concept), the show is a tricky game of tag: with limited resources and a lack of digital privacy, nine teams of ...

The NRL had defended the call to allow North Queensland to challenge a last-minute game and kick their way to a controversial 27-26 win over the Wests Tigers. Key points: Down by a point, the Cowboys call for a review with a second remaining, claiming winger Kyle Feldt is hampered After The Bunker awarded the home team a companion penalty, Valentine Holmes kicked North Queensland to victory Wests Tigers officials have called for a review of the decision Down 26-25 with a second remaining and play restarted after a Tigers attempt, North Queensland claimed winger Kyle Feldt was hampered in his run after kick-off when referee Chris Butler blew his whistle after the siren. Although no penalty has been awarded, Cowboys captain Chad Townsend may request that the play be reviewed. Bunker then gave North Queensland a companion penalty, and Valentine Holmes kicked the Cowboys home. Amid the controversy, Wests Tigers officials told the Sydney Morning Herald that they would consider legal options...

More and more Australians are turning to creative ways of earning a side income, many combining a second gig with pursuing their hobby. Data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows that 867,000 Australians have odd jobs, ranging from odd jobs to running their own businesses. Ben Svenson’s day job is in the steel manufacturing business while his partner Evie Black is a dental nurse. Their passion for fishing is shared on several social media accounts as Northern Addicts, from which they earn their income through sponsorship and clothing sales. “It’s easier to collect content when it’s something you’re passionate about,” says Ben. “Ultimately you have to enjoy what you’re doing. So fishing is what we enjoy.” His favorite aspects of the Northern Addicts account are the people he meets and the relationships he builds with those who follow the pair. “I’m a Sydney Swans supporter and I’m constantly talking to some ...

Playing an iconic character on stage that was so well portrayed by others in the film can come with a certain level of expectation. However, Kirby Burgess, who plays Kathryn — in Cruel Intentions: The 90s Musical — takes things in stride. “Most people say, ‘Oh, you play Sarah Michelle Gellar,'” Burgess laughed. Sarah Michelle Gellar played the cunning Kathryn in the 1999 film Cruel Intentions, based on the 1988 film Dangerous Liaisons. The film, in turn, was inspired by the 1985 play Les Liaisons Dangereuses, which was adapted from the 1782 French novel of the same name. “Sarah Michelle Gellar, herself, was a ’90s icon,” Burgess said. “So stepping into his position, regardless of what role he plays is already quite a feat. “But it’s also an honor. He did an amazing job with this role.” In Kathryn, Burgess plays the villain. But he’s a fun villain. “I love playing the villain,” said Burgess. “I think the...

The thing I like the most Physique is the show’s unwavering refusal to be liked. Led by Rose Byrne and her rich hair Jaclyn Smith, this 1980s comedy-drama Apple TV+ about a San Diego housewife who finds her self-purpose with the advent of aerobics is fueled by a sting of self-loathing. Now in its second season, the series is full of hilarious period details and brief discontent; for the main character, happiness is almost always an illusion that disappears too quickly. The lack of cuteness is interesting. The strongest voice – so powerful that it is almost a separate character that deserves its own bill – is the monologue in Byrne’s Sheila Benson. It’s been around since Sheila’s first apparition in 1981, nonchalantly looking at herself in the mirror and delivering a verdict she’s eager to share but is afraid that others will find out. “Do you really think you did all this?” he asked with rhetorical bitterness. Every installment since th...
