MAFS cast flood our comments, ditching the 'bad edit' excuse
<p>Alex' expert MAFS commentary & Jordy's viral memes have brought some new showbies to the block this week and we're SO happy you're here. </p><br><p>Last week's dinner party could go down in history as the most BRUTAL. Over the course of the episode, we watched Brook & Gia relentlessly taunt & mock fellow contestants, Alissa & Stella. Cue the public backlash, but in a time when villains gone by would blame the edit, Brook & Gia were forced to take responisiblity for their behaviour. Why? Because we had seen so much unedited, terrible behaviour that this excuse simply wouldn't fly. Of course, Alex & Jordy RACED to socials to point this out & hint that perhaps, the 'bad edit' has been a phallacy all along. To our surprise, comments from past contestants came in thick and fast. What did they say? You'll have to listen to find out...</p><br><p>Every man & their dog is trying to get Hilary Duff tickets, so Jordy finally shares the story about how she almost entered the family tree.</p><br><p>We discuss the recently released Netflix docouseries that focuses on the controversial legacy of America’s Next Top Model. As Jordy predicted, Tyra Banks gave a lacklustre apology & denied A LOT of responsibility. We recount some of Tyra's most unhinged moments, including the time that, for absolutely no reason at all, she pretended to have rabies on live television. </p><br><p><strong>Make sure you connect with us on socials for more showbiz BTS & truth telling:</strong></p><br><p>TSB INSTAGRAM / TikTok @thatsshowbizbaby.pod</p><p>Jordy Instagram / TikTok @jordy__lucas</p><p>Alex Instagram / TikTok @Alexandria.funnell</p><br><p>Book a psychic reading with Alex > https://psychic-tarot-readings-with-alexandria.square.site/</p><br><p>Subscribe to Alex's Substack: Confessions of a MAFS Producer > https://substack.com/@alexandriafunnell</p><br><p><br></p><p><strong>TIMESTAMPS</strong>:</p><br><p>Social Media Growth & MAFS Audience (00:00:44)</p><p>MAFS Contestant Stereotypes (00:02:04) </p><p>Online Drama with Former Contestants (00:04:45) </p><p>Our First Complaint & Contestants in our Comments (00:05:58) </p><p>Why MAFS Will Never Die (00:15:35)</p><p>MAFS as a Social Media Ecosystem (00:17:19) </p><p>The Time Jordy Almost Became Part of The Duff Family Tree (00:19:08) </p><p>America’s Next Top Model Documentary (00:26:33) </p><p>Wind Up Tidbit/Showbie Question: What is a FrankenGrab?

Alex claps back at MAFS allegations & an exclusive psychic prediction for a Baldoni victory
<p>We're back for 2026 baby! And honestly, a lot happened while we were gone. Our break saw Jordy saving her mum’s life (LITERALLY) & Alex surprising us all with a career pivot into a professional psychic tarot reader. Ironically, even she did see this one coming...</p><br><p>We discuss the dynamics of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's relationship, and the ongoing controversy surrounding Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. Alex whips out the tarot cards & gives us her prediction for the outcome & spoiler alert, it doesn't end well for Lively.</p><br><p>Of course, we have to weigh in on the new season of MAFS (the TSB Super Bowl). Alex weighs in on the alleged production techniques & Jordy is questioning how casting has never once run out of unhinged applicants. </p><br><p><strong>Make sure you connect with us on socials for more showbiz BTS & truth telling:</strong></p><br><p>TSB <a href="instagram.com/thatsshowbizbaby.pod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">INSTAGRAM</a> / <a href="tiktok.com/@thatsshowbizbaby.pod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TikTok</a></p><p>Jordy <a href="instagram.com/jordy__lucas" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> / <a href="tiktok.com/@jordy__lucas" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TikTok </a></p><p>Alex <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alexandriafunnell/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> / <a href="TikTok.com/@alexandriafunnell" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TikTok</a></p><br><p><a href="https://psychic-tarot-readings-with-alexandria.square.site/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Book a psychic reading with Alex</a></p><p><a href="https://psychic-tarot-readings-with-alexandria.square.site/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://psychic-tarot-readings-with-alexandria.square.site/</a></p><br><p><a href="https://substack.com/@alexandriafunnell" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Subscribe to Alex's Substack: Confessions of a MAFS Producer </a></p><p><a href="https://substack.com/@alexandriafunnell" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://substack.com/@alexandriafunnell</a></p><br><p><strong>Time stamps:</strong></p><br><p>00:00 Welcome Back to That's Showbiz</p><p>05:15 New Content Pillar: Alex' surprising career pivot</p><p>10:47 Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce: Relationship Dynamics</p><p>11:07 Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni: The Controversy Unfolds</p><p>20:59 The Impact of Showbiz Decisions</p><p>36:46 Reality TV: The New Season of MAFS</p><p>50:19 Closing Thoughts and Future Insights</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
