My thoughts exactly, this seems to be a pattern with her, when she is spending 1 on 1 time with Drew she goes SM silent.

I think you have said it before, tully needs constant attention from her partner or somebody who will fill that role. She is happier to be close to drew and when she hits Sydney her attitude goes from happy and settled to lost and depressed. She looks to social media to fill the void IMO

After speaking about my harrowing Saturday night on-air, I was overwhelmed with how much love & support flooded in, not just from friends & family but from my fans and the listeners of TRFM! This arrived today from the Duckworth family; people who I have never met but have made a connection with me through radio. Such a sweet & unnecessary but thoughtful gesture; it's wonderful to know that my bad experience has raised awareness for others out there! #ilovemyjob#thankyou

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if either it was arranged maybe even by Ch 9 since they both work there - just from the weirdness of the pics including that phone shot when it wasn't on - or if we're being less cynical we could say paps were already there just hoping to catch someone, anyone, to sell pics for a few bucks. Either way though I'm happy they both got a bit of publicity. After seeing that Australian Story last night where Masterchef makes contestants fork over 15% of their media earnings for THREE flippin years after the show airs and then remembering someone saying during the season on here that BB had a similar contract although it was only a year or two from memory, I prefer them to be gaining intangible benefits like this in the media instead of selling stories and giving the producers a cut.

That's interesting, I have never heard about that before. How long has this been going on?

Not sure. Jules was on last year's season of Masterchef so I assume it's the same for the current one. There are snippets of one of the previous year's BB contracts floating around on here and the discussion at the time was about how Aussie reality shows were now following the model of the Real Housewives in the US. Once the HWs started to put out cookbooks and were selling stories weekly to tabloids, the producers caught on that they could lock up a piece of those profits for themselves and people would still sign contracts as they were desperate to get on tv... which Jules admitted to, along with barely reading the contract before she signed.

I know BB is not raking in the fat stacks of cash they used to, but that does seem a little on the nose. Although you said it, they want to be on TV so they will sign anyway. So, probably, all the ones back in the day that got cars and holidays also got to keep their appearance fees? Good for them. Shame for BB that the three biggest earners came in the first 4 seasons.

See, this is the one thing that's throwing me off. They'd get so much more publicity with speculation that they were dating one another than they would speculation they were dating a bunch of randoms. If they did initiate the article and pictures for hype, why crush it so soon? Seems pretty counter productive to me.

I'm still on the fence. Who wants to join me?

I never leave the fence. It's where the best alcohol is stashed.
