Desperate for love, stranded in paradise

Stranded On Honeymoon Island sees singles on their final search for love

Brace yourself for a dating adventure like no other.  

Stranded On Honeymoon Island, premiering this June on Seven and 7plus, takes 12 unlucky-in-love singles on a wild romantic journey. 

After exhausting every romantic possibility close to home, they are taking one final chance: a bold and unconventional search for love in a remote setting.

After a speed dating event, couples will be matched and marry, before they are dramatically stranded on a deserted island for 21 days in nothing but their wedding attire.

These courageous couples will be completely immersed in their brand-new relationships, free from modern dating distractions: no phones, no outside influences and no easy escape.

In search of true love and with nowhere to hide, they’ll need to face their true selves, holding a mirror to their deepest fears and insecurities in a bid to move forward.

Will romance flourish in paradise, or will their dreams of happily ever after be Stranded On Honeymoon Island? 

Stranded On Honeymoon Island is narrated by broadcaster Jackie O, one of Australia’s most successful and high-profile radio personalities. 

Stranded On Honeymoon Island is created by Danish production company Snowman Productions and produced by Endemol Shine Australia (a Banijay Company) for the Seven Network.

Prepare For Global Domination. Meet The Full Cast Of Survivor: Australia V The World. Coming Soon To 10 And 10 Play.

Survivor is taking things to the next level with Australia v The World, bringing together some of the best players from around the globe and putting them to the ultimate test.

Iconic Aussie castaways will go head-to-head with players from Survivor US, Québec, South Africa, New Zealand and Finland, for the chance to be crowned Sole Survivor and win a cash prize of $250,000. 

Over 16 days, these 14 players will battle it out on the beaches of Samoa and attempt to Outwit, Outplay and Outlast each other in what will be one of the most talked about seasons of the franchise to date.  

Meet the cast of Survivor: Australia v The World:

AUSTRALIA

David Genat
Champions v Contenders (2019), Australian Survivor: All Stars 

 The Golden God and winner of Australian Survivor: All Stars, David Genat is back for his third go at the game. After making history by winning the largest cash prize ever awarded on network television in his recent appearance on Deal or No Deal Island, he’s regarded as one of the best game players to ever appear on TV. Can he take out the title of the world’s best Survivor player? 

George Mladenov
Brains v Brawn, Heroes v Villains 

King George is back to once again claim the crown that he so narrowly missed in both of his seasons. One of the biggest and boldest players to take on Australian Survivor, George has made some of the most jaw-dropping moves in the game. 

Janine Allis
Champions v Contenders (2019)

The founder of Boost Juice and Retail Zoo is better known by her Survivor moniker, the Godmother. Though she’s used to making moves in the business world, Janine is ready to return to the game and take out the win that slipped through her fingers back in Fiji.

Kirby Bentley
Titans v Rebels

Establishing herself as a titan of the game and earning herself the title of the Rebel Queen last year, Kirby returns fresh from the fight that saw her become an immediate fan favourite. A newbie, Kirby forged her own style of gameplay, a perfect blend of strategy and social prowess that saw her dominate the early stages and emerge as a huge threat in the game.

Luke Toki
Australian Survivor (2017), Champions v Contenders (2019)

Returning for his third time, the people’s champion and the King of the Jungle is back again this time seeking redemption after his heartbreaking fourth place loss in 2019. Missing out on his shot to go all the way, Luke is ready to once again have as much fun as possible... at other people’s expense, of course. 

Sarah Tilleke
Australian Survivor (2017)

After almost ten years since she first played the game, Sarah is back for a second chance at the title of Sole Survivor. Equal parts sneaky and a savvy social player, Sarah has learned from the mistakes she made the first time she was in Samoa and hopes to take it all the way to the top spot.

Shonee Bowtell
Champions v Contenders (2018), Australian Survivor All Stars, Heroes v Villains

Honeys, she’s home again. Proudly holding the record for the most days playing Australian Survivor, Shonee is back and hopes that fourth time is the charm. With her knack for a flawless social game and her aptitude for devious gameplay, Shonee has proven time and time again that she should never be underestimated.

THE WORLD

Cirie Fields
Survivor: Panama, Survivor: Micronesia, Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, Survivor: Game Changers

Often regarded as one of the best players to never win, Cire has over 120 days of playing under her belt. Having tackled the US versions of The Traitors and Big Brother she is a master strategist who is ready to take on what she’s calling the “championship of Survivor”.

Kass Bastarache
Survivor Québec 2024

A certified challenge beast, Kass was the runner-up in her season of Survivor but this time around she's hoping to be underestimated so she can go all the way and win the title that she so narrowly missed. 

Lisa Holmes
Survivor New Zealand: Thailand

As one of the few players who won their original season, Lisa will be coming into the game with a target on her back. But the superfan and self-confessed “really good Survivor player” isn’t afraid to play hard, and having watched every season of US Survivor, she’ll be familiar with some of her fellow castaways and their moves.

Parvati Shallow
Survivor: Cook Islands, Survivor: Micronesia, Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, Survivor: Winners at War

Parvati, aka the “Black Widow” is another former winner who is renowned for being one of the best players in the history of the game. Having recently competed on Deal or No Deal Island with David Genat, she’s coming into the game with connections across the globe, and she knows she’ll be equally underestimated and overestimated, which she’ll use to her advantage.

Rob Bentele
Survivor South Africa: Island of Secrets

The Sole Survivor of his season, Rob is the perfect blend of physical strength, strategic gameplay, and natural charisma that saw him take out the prize in 2019. The challenge beast dominated individual immunity challenges, but he knows he’ll need to lower his threat level to go deep in the game when facing the best from around the world.

Tommi Manninen
Selviytyjät Suomi Season 7

Radio presenter and journalist Tommi was the runner-up in his original season of Survivor Finland, losing by just one vote. Now he’s back, and he’s hoping that the other players will be less familiar with his series, allowing him to fly under the radar and go all the way to the final tribal.

Tony Vlachos
Survivor: Cagayan, Survivor: Game Changers, Survivor: Winners at War

The second two-time winner in Survivor history and one of only two people to ever win twice, Tony is known as the King of Survivor. Playing for his fourth time, Tony is hungry to add another win to his belt. His aggressive gameplay, physical prowess in challenges, and knack for winning immunity makes him a huge threat to the game, and an even bigger target.

 

Hosted by Jonathan LaPaglia, Survivor: Australia v The World is an Endemol Shine Australia (a Banijay Entertainment Company) production for Network 10.

UNCONVENTIONALLY CONVENTIONAL RESAY launches with a bang

Endemol Shine Australia (ESA), the multi-award-winning production powerhouse at the forefront of commercial television, has expanded onto the smallest of screens, creating vibrant, new and exciting content for an online audience through its brand-new YouTube channel RESAY with Tilly & Marley.

@RESAYtube is hosted by Big Brother 2021 winner Marley Biyendolo and fan favourite Tilly Whitfeld. So far the Big Brother besties have built an audience revelling in the good, the bad and the most watchable viral social media pop culture moments. And now, the channel is expanding to create its own original clickable content series.  

RESAY flips the script on ordinary, taking everything viewers love and twisting it to be utterly hilarious and delightfully warped. Viewers will see the world through Tilly’s glittery lens of pop culture and fun, while sports-loving Marley’s warmth and BFF persona hits all the right notes.

With the Big Brother breakout stars at the helm, this endearing, unfiltered and loveable duo will bring together their charm, wit and celebrity mates to create unmissable content. This is conventional done unconventionally.

In Squirm Sessions, Tilly and Marley sit down with a special guest for a no holds barred interview – but this time, the guest will be in full control. If they ever feel a question is too invasive or the chat is going off the rails, the guest can push a button which leads to some seriously hilarious punishments.

Will spice break the ice in Spicy Dates, when two singles sit down to a fiery flavoured meal? In each episode, Tilly and Marley will pair up potential lovers for an unforgettable dining experience, where each course will be hotter than the last. At the end, the couple will decide if heat in the kitchen has fanned the flames, or burnt out this brief love match. 

Also hitting screens is a series of Glow Ups, where Tilly and Marley team up with an expert to transform people into more confident and stylish versions of themselves in just two hours. Tackling self-proclaimed geeks and the most ocker of Aussies, each transformation will lead to a jaw-dropping reveal. 

On behalf of Tilly and Marley, Marley said: 

“This is the way of the world now, everyone is on YouTube. It’s quick, easy and engaging content to consume and it’s exciting. It’s the future and the fact Resay is on YouTube, I have high hopes that everyone can get their eyes on what we’re doing and enjoy watching it.”

ESA Director of Content Amelia Fisk said:

“We’ve seen the impact YouTube has had on the industry and we believe there’s a huge future in creating fun and bold content for the platform. We brought Marley and Tilly together for Big Brother and we always knew there was more we could do with them, so we’ve set them free in the RESAY world and think audiences will love it.”

AUSTRALIA HAS SPOKEN! THE HUNDRED IS BACK

THE HUNDRED WITH ANDY LEE RETURNS FOR SEASON 8 
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2, AT 7.30PM ON CHANNEL 9 AND 9NOW

Get ready for more laughs, more surprising stats, and find out what Aussies really think when The Hundred with Andy Lee returns in a new prime time timeslot on Wednesday, April 2, at 7.30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now. 

Each week host Andy Lee will be joined by a rotating panel of top comedians, alongside The Hundred, a cross-section of everyday Aussies from right across the country appearing via Zoom who reveal surprising, hilarious and sometimes shocking truths about our nation.

This season comedian Mike Goldstein and media superstar Sophie Monk return and are joined by a stellar lineup of guest comedians including Tom Gleeson, Joel Creasey, Kate Langbroek, Ross Noble and many more. Expect even bigger laughs, wilder stats, and the return of fan-favourite segments. 

In the first episode, everyone’s best friend, Hamish Blake, joins the panel and we learn what percentage of The Hundred consider their sibling their best friend, and who’s been busted sneaking out of home. Couples Court is back solving Australia’s relationship dramas, and we’ll find out who agrees that you eat the best part of a meal first. This or That also returns, where we will debate the best way to stack cutlery in the dishwasher. All that plus a curious foot reveal . . . 

Merv Hughes, David Walliams, Osher Günsberg and Glenn Robbins will brave The Hundred this season, seeing if their faces are as recognisable as they think, while other popular segments including Is That Rude? and Match Em also return. 

Andy Lee said: “We asked 100 Australians whether they wanted the show to come back and 98 said yes. Two of them must work for Channel 7. So excited to see what Australia is feeling and thinking again.” 

Mike Goldstein added: “Every year, the stats get crazier and the debates get funnier. I’m keen to find out just how weirdly predictable Australians really are.”

Sophie Monk said: “I learn so much on this show about how Australians think… I also learned that I’m terrible at grammer and spelling.”

No matter what’s making headlines or going viral, The Hundred with Andy Lee will uncover the nation’s real opinions when it returns in its new prime time timeslot of 7.30pm every Wednesday on Channel 9 and 9Now. 

The Hundred with Andy Lee is an original concept by Screentime Australia and Andy Lee, produced by Endemol Shine Australia (a Banijay Entertainment company) in association with Channel 9.
