So Dramatic would like to acknowledge

0:02

the traditional custodians of the land

0:04

this podcast was recorded on, the

0:06

vigil and Gadigal people. Always was,

0:08

always will be, Aboriginal land. So

0:11

Dramatic Daily, your

0:13

daily dose of the latest and

0:15

most dramatic reality TV news. Welcome

0:21

to So Dramatic Daily, I'm Megan Pastello.

0:23

Coming up today, former block stars are

0:25

begging producers for a second chance after

0:28

one team quit the 2024 season.

0:30

Fans reckon they've cracked who wins. I'm a celebrity,

0:33

get me out of here. And I wouldn't be

0:35

mad at this outcome at all. And

0:37

Married at First Sight's Eden and Jayden have

0:40

confirmed their split following reports that the couple

0:42

broke up weeks ago. So much

0:44

drama, so little time. Let's get into

0:46

the show. I'm

0:50

a celebrity, get me out of here. Fans

0:52

reckon they've figured out who wins the show.

0:54

And I for one hope they're right, because

0:56

this would be iconic. Each year, a bunch

0:58

of mostly washed up celebrities battle it out

1:00

in the jungle for a chance to win

1:02

$100,000 for a charity of their

1:05

choice. And while the catmates are still in

1:07

the thick of it, fans have already started

1:09

betting on which star will become the next

1:11

king or queen of the jungle. According

1:14

to sports bet, fan favorite Sky Wheatley is

1:16

tipped to win the show with attractive odds

1:18

of just $1.57. Not

1:21

far behind her is Love Island star Callum

1:23

Hall, whose odds currently sit at $2.25. And

1:25

I would

1:27

do anything to see either of these

1:29

guys win. Quite a far jump behind

1:32

is The Bachelor's Britt Hockley with odds

1:34

of $10. Whilst fans have bet $11

1:36

on Paralympian Ellie Cole to take out

1:39

the crown. Coming in fifth is TV

1:41

presenter Tristan McManus with odds of $13.

1:43

Followed by comedian Stephen K Amos whose

1:46

odds are at $15. May the best

1:48

celebrity win! Former

1:52

block contestants are chomping at the bit

1:54

to return to the renovation show after

1:56

one team quit just weeks into filming

1:58

the 2024 season. In

2:00

case you missed it, it was recently revealed

2:02

that one of the teams competing in the

2:05

blocks' landmark 20th season ditched their tools on

2:07

their own accord and left the show. It

2:10

was later confirmed that it was a blue team,

2:12

a young couple from Western Australia. Now

2:14

insiders have dished to Yahoo! Lifestyle that as

2:16

soon as producers realised the pair were born

2:18

for good, the decisions on who could replace

2:21

them started and there were a few

2:23

options discussed. The insider said they always

2:25

have teams on standby and while they

2:27

try and cast contestants robust enough to

2:29

finish the 12-week shoot, Channel 9 knows

2:32

life happens and that their participants might

2:34

buckle under the pressure of the show.

2:37

Case in point, Ryan and Rachel Carr, who were on the 2022

2:40

site just days after getting the call

2:42

that Elle Ferguson and Joel Patful had

2:44

quit. The source then told

2:46

the outlet that several 2023 contestants had called

2:48

the top dogs at Channel 9 to replace

2:50

the blue team. However, producers

2:53

deemed their return too soon, with the

2:55

source explaining, "...we wouldn't bring someone back

2:57

a year later. The contestants need time

2:59

to cool off." A number

3:01

of sources in the know at 9 confirm

3:03

multiple houses contacted the network executives begging for

3:05

another shot at the block and who could

3:07

blame them. Despite former blockheads

3:10

enthusiasm, producers have reportedly signed on two

3:12

Sydney women named Maddie and Charlotte and

3:14

they're already rumoured to be an exceptional

3:17

addition to the cast. So

3:19

I guess everything happens for a reason. Bury

3:23

it at first sight, Eden Harper and

3:26

Jaden Ennard have confirmed their breakup after

3:28

weeks of speculation. As revealed

3:30

by So Dramatic earlier this month, several

3:32

Maps participants revealed that the couple had

3:35

broken up weeks ago following Jaden's pretty

3:37

cooked behaviour after filming. Last

3:39

night, Eden took to Instagram to confirm this

3:41

news explaining that things didn't work out the

3:43

way she thought they would. She

3:46

wrote, "...when I decided at final vows to

3:48

be with Jaden, I really did that with

3:50

long-term intentions." Jaden and I spent many months

3:52

together after the experiment, during which cub

3:54

gained a dad and

3:57

I gained a second family whom I'm truly

3:59

grateful for. I'm saddened to share

4:01

that toward the end of the show airing,

4:03

our relationship came to an unexpected end. The

4:06

reality is, the person I chose didn't

4:08

choose me." Ouch. She

4:10

then explained that although she was disappointed, she'll never

4:12

regret the time she spent on Maths saying, "'Thank

4:14

you for supporting us and for also wishing for

4:16

the same fairy tale that I had hoped for.'"

4:19

Now, Jaden also addressed the breakup shortly after,

4:21

writing on Instagram, "'Sometimes in life, things don't

4:23

always go the way that you had hoped

4:26

for.' After the experiment, Eden and

4:28

I went back to the Gold Coast and continued

4:30

to enjoy living our lives together and getting

4:32

to know each other every day." He

4:34

then explained that their relationship ended not long before

4:37

the end of the experiment was airing, adding, "'As

4:39

sad as it is, I'm so glad I got

4:41

to go through this with such an amazing woman

4:43

and a beautiful son.' Referring to her dog Cub,

4:46

of course. He then said, "'You

4:48

will both always have a second family on the

4:50

Gold Coast.'" That

4:53

is the latest from So Dramatic Daily. If
