Aussie singles survive day one of being stranded together

One of the most extreme and radical dating experiences to hit TV has arrived. Stranded on Honeymoon Island sees 12 unlucky-in-love Aussie singles marry a complete stranger who they met at a speed-dating event just two weeks prior. After tying the knot, the six couples are dumped on a deserted island where they will spend 21 days in isolation — love will either bloom or dreams of a happy ending will come crashing down. On the first episode, we are first introduced to Byron, a 33-year-old electrician from Queensland who loves to surf and eat pizza with mates. He reveals he lost his mum at just 15 and has always distracted himself from the grief by being busy, but as a result of his packed schedule, his dating life got pushed to the side. Byron is paired with 28-year-old Melbourne performer Brie who describes herself as 'bubbly and crazy'. She has never had a serious boyfriend and has never been in love. Brie and Byron.

Brie feels 'happy and relaxed' and Byron says he is one 'lucky guy'. The newlyweds begin to get on like a house fire thanks to Brie's quirky personality but she soon starts to become overwhelmed with the big life change. Commitment is one of her biggest fears and she usually runs away from men as soon as it begins to get serious — but you can't run from island life. She says she doesn't want to self-sabotage her relationship. During the episode, viewers are introduced to the second couple where they meet 30-year-old Queenslander, Amy, who is also looking to meet the love of her life. The 'outrageous and fun princess' has had a lot of bad luck when it comes to men and has become known on TikTok for sharing her horrid dating stories. After the speed dating event, she hoped to marry handsome AFL player Hayden, who wooed her over with his salmon pink suit jacket and man bun. However, she is immediately disappointed when she sees New Zealander Mike waiting for her at the altar. While the pair struggle through some cringy vows and seal their marriage with a quick kiss, Amy does admit that Mike seems fun and she wants to give him a chance. But once they are on the island, Mike's chance of winning over Amy starts to deplete as the two big personalities collide and a power struggle ensues. Both want to be the dominate one in the relationship and Mike doesn't understand why Amy won't let him 'be the man'. Next up is 46-year-old Chad who works in orthopaedics helping to save people's limbs before amputation is needed. His family life has complicated his dating experiences as he has spent a lot of time helping his mum care for his sister who has special needs. Chad said he is doing the experiment so there are no distractions stopping him from getting to know his potential love. Chad's lucky lady is Georgia who is over the moon to find out she is marrying him. While finding love is a first for Chad, it's not Georgia's first rodeo. She was once engaged for a planned destination wedding but her husband-to-be pulled out three days before their big day. 'It was a dagger to the heart,' Georgia said. 'I'm very scared to get married again but I want love and a Disney fairytale ending I didn't have last time.' Georgia is obsessed with Chad's tanned skin and dark features and is more than happy to be stranded with him The new couple seal their marriage with a kiss on the cheek. Georgia and Chad. Credit: Supplied With the marriages out of the way, night soon begins to fall on Honeymoon Island and sleeping arrangements between each pair needs to be sorted out. Each couple contemplates their first night as husband and wife and sleeping in the elements. The next day each couple is still trying to figure each other out and navigate living on a deserted island. Brie's commitment fears are in full swing and as soon as she hears the word wife, she 'wants to swim away'. But her struggle to be open with her emotions has left her withdrawn from Byron who starts to wonder if she's shutting down because of him. With 24 hours alone on the island now complete, the next stage of the experience soon arrives. Mysterious orange crates arrive in the water, with the couples sent out to retrieve and open them. A crate will be sent every week with each one containing surprises, tips and relationship tests. The first crate is an individual video message from the contestants' families back home, offering advice, warnings and support. The word from home brings a lot of comfort to Brie and Amy who have been feeling emotional. It's enough for Amy to finally get real and confront Mike for making her feel 'belittled and uncomfortable' following his controlling behaviour at times. 'It's nightmare island,' she said. With some questioning their decision to sign up, to others calling each other 'babe' on the first day, episode two is set to unpack more drama as we meet three more couples also hoping to fall in love.

TV wrap: What you missed on TV on Monday night

Don't miss out on the headlines from AFL. Followed categories will be added to My News. Premiership coach Chris Fagan says he has been sounded out to coach the Tasmania Devils but has no interest in a senior job once he finishes with the Brisbane Lions. Fagan is contracted with the Lions until the end of 2027, which would make it 11 years in charge, spearheaded by the 2024 premiership. A proud Tasmanian, Fagan has always been at the top of a wishlist to coach the Devils, should they enter the competition in 2028. But he said he would likely move to Melbourne to be closer to his daughters and grandchildren once he finishes at the Lions and wouldn't be tempted to coach another AFL team. 'I've been sounded out a little bit about coaching the team but I don't really want to coach after I'm finished at Brisbane,' he told Channel 7's Agenda Setters. 'I'd rather help someone else out. I have always thought that was my best role in footy: helping somebody else out. 'If an opportunity came up there that fitted in with my lifestyle and I could do it properly, then I would consider it but that may or may not happen.' AFL Jamarra Ugle-Hagan's difficult year has taken another bizarre turn, with the star Dog alleging on Instagram that his car had been stolen from Port Melbourne. AFL AFL fans have been left divided after a TV broadcast giant's 'uncomfortable' move during Carlton's shock loss to North Melbourne.

Long-standing The Project panellist Steve Price gets emotional in final appearance

A long-time panellist on The Project has become emotional while reminiscing on his time at the legendary show. A tear welled up in the eye of Steve Price, a long-term media commentator and television and radio host, appeared regularly on the show for some 15 years and a tear welled up in his eye as he say goodbye on Monday night. The recently axed show will stop airing on Friday and Monday marked Mr Price's final appearance. He appeared as a panellist since the show first aired in 2009 as The 7PM Project before its name was changed to The Project in 2011. When asked by a fellow host how he was feeling about the show concluding, he said he was 'sad'. 'I don't know what I'm going to do next Monday night,' he said. 'My daughter Kate is here tonight and she was 11 when I started doing this, so she was still in primary school. 'I've been very privileged to sit here. I've always been amazed that an old white guy like me sitting on the end of the bench was ever going to be allowed to stay for more than a week and I stayed here for 15 years.' Price, who also hosts a Friday evening program on Sky News, writes columns for the Saturday Herald Sun and has previously worked in radio. He praised his co-hosts and saluted the people who worked behind-the-scenes on the show. 'The on-air hosts have been fantastic. They've all been very generous and kind to me,' he said.
