1. "When you know you know." MasterChef's Melissa Leong on eloping after five months.

Earlier this season, MasterChef fans were given a glimpse into the lives of judge Melissa Leong and her husband Joe Jones.

And now the 40-year-old chef has shared how she and Joe decided to get engaged three months after dating and then elope two months after that.

"When you know you know," Melissa told TV WEEK.

The couple first met at a bar in Melbourne's Romeo Lane.

"Then we met again properly about 18 months later at a function. We started talking there and we've just not ever ceased since really. It's pretty cool."

Three months later, they mutually decided to get engaged and agreed to elope shortly after.

"I planned our elopement in between takes while filming another TV show [SBS'sThe Chef's Line]," Melissa told the publication.

"When that wrapped, we went to Joshua Tree in California and eloped. It was all very fun."

The couple, who married in February 2017, opted for a 60s, rock’n’roll-style ceremony.

"Joe and I share a common aesthetic for all things vintage and a bit rock’n’roll. And I think eloping is a pretty rock’n’roll way to say ‘I do’! The theme of our wedding day, if I had to label it, would probably be ’60s rock’n’roll. Think Bourbon and records at dawn, a shift dress, beehive hair, slim cut suiting… and cake for breakfast," she told Vogue.

The pair have been inseparable ever since.

2. Shower time limits and countless cameras: What we know about the Big Brother house.

With just six (yes, you heard me right, SIX) nights until the premiere ofBig Brother AU, Channel Seven are finally revealing some BB house secrets that are getting us extremely excited, thank you very much.

The house, which has been purpose-built inside a warehouse at Sydney's North Head, has been very ecologically conscious, using rainwater toilets and limiting housemates shower-times.

Although the show will consist of mainly pre-recorded episodes, the finale will be live, and a winner will be crowned by the public to receive a $250,000 cash prize.

The program will be hosted by Sonia Kruger since Channel Seven's poaching from Channel Nine.

Housemates will be varying in age from 19-62, which should make for a very interesting mix...

Big Brotherpremieres at 7.30pm on Monday May 8 on Channel Seven.

3. Oh... no. Carole Baskin has won control of Joe Exotic's former zoo.

Although it was only two months ago that the whole world was captivated by Netflix's wild docuseries, Tiger King, it feels like a bloody lifetime ago.

And to rope you all back into the world of Joe Exotic, Carole Baskin, and various large animals, there has been an update to their story: Carole Baskin has just won control of Joe Exotic's former zoo.

A federal judge ruled that Carole's Big Cat Rescue Corp will take over the Greater Wynnewood Zoo (The G.W Zoo) that is heavily featured throughout the eight-part series.

The current owners have been told they have 120 days to vacate the zoo, along with the exotic animals inside of it. The only things that Carole will be keeping are several trucks.
