So, remember all those times I’ve said I was going to hang up my culinary-comfort-come-recap hat? Well, you should probably also remember all the times I have been wooed back into said game via the glistening, sexy majesty of Jonathan’s biceps.

Like John Farnham, just consider me on a permanent farewell tour, okay? Until someone iconic enough *coughs* Shonee *coughs* takes out victory (in a good season, sorry Alyssa Edwards) and lets us finish on a high.

Anyway, I’m rambling. But that, my friends, is the brand. That and thirsty, which is why JLP keeps me coming back. Again and again.

And again.

Which coincidentally is the approach he took with this year’s pitch.

“Ben, I know you’re tired and want to give up providing emotional support to reality cast-offs. But what if I told you we cast an extremely attractive gay man with a penchant for speedos. Remember what happened to Locky and his speedos that time?”

And just like that, I was back in the game. Thanks Paulie!

Will this Brains V Brawn rematch lead to another smartypants taking the crown in the form of PTA vice-queen Zara? Or will zaddy Paulie do it for more than just my loins and secure the bag for the strong-uns like the soon-to-return two-time winner Tony Vlachos?

You’ll just have to watch to find out. And then join us each Sunday as we turn back time and eat our feelings, just like Cher’s Uber Eats ads.

Oh and Paulie and Zara are brat, confirmed.
