Post Holiday Blues Streaming 25' - The Real Housewives of Sydney - Season Three

The Real Housewives of Sydney are back! The bitches from the East are back with all their claws completely out. No one was playing this season!

This season was packed with luxury getaways to New Zealand and Noosa, next-level fashion, all while being set against Sydney’s stunning skyline & iconic harbour. 

The 10-part BINGE original series commended earlier this year, concluding last month. However with holidays, life and other shows in my way, It took a while to catch up on all ten plus one reunion episodes from season three.

Caroline Gaultier’s feud with Dr. Kate Adams erupts into a social media ‘blocking war,’ all while she balances caring for her ailing mum and a whirlwind romance. 

Sally Obermeder debuts a stunning transformation but is pushed to her limits during a tense girls’ trip to Noosa. 

Meanwhile, Nicole O’Neil faces empty-nester blues and mounting tension with the Terry Biviano. 

Newcomer Martine Chippendale stirs the pot, clashing with the outspoken Krissy Marsh. The drama peaks during an adrenaline fuelled NZ, where tempers flare, and one housewife makes a dramatic exit. 

But as alliances shift, rivalries heat up and the bonds of sisterhood are tested!

However it wasn't all roses developing this third season for Binge. Production on the third season was interrupted multiple times. In May 2024, Marsh, O'Neill and another cast member reportedly threatened to quit, after objecting to Biviano returning to the series midway of filming.

In December 2024, reports of an alleged physical altercation saw production abandon filming. Unedited rushes were subsequently sent to NBCUniversal, owner of Matchbox Pictures, following complaints from several cast members. 

Then came the reunion special hosted by Osher Günsberg was filmed, with O’Neil again not in attendance, instead appearing from the UK. This was after refusing to fly economy home to film the special episode. So not surprisingly, last month O'Neil announced her departure from the show after three seasons.

We also had a bit of a crossover from Jackie Gillies. Originally from The Real Housewives of Melbourne, she made a guest appearance during the fourth and fifth episodes, and additionally the reunion. Where the fireworks really went off. The healing session, obviously involved, zero healing!

Also last month, anAustralian spin-off of The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip was revealed to be in development by production company, Matchbox Pictures. 

The series is set to combine cast members from both The Real Housewives of Melbourne and The Real Housewives of Sydney franchises. So does this kill the hopes of a fourth season?

I hardly think there is much new ground to cover for a potential fourth season. Even with the addition of Martine Chippendale, you can hardly just keep adding new housewives, till something sticks.

That said the drama, the wild comments and the big bitch energy was a hoot. A really wonderful distraction from everyday life. Well done to Binge for continuing to bring a variety of local content. Here is to Mixtape starting this week!
