In this thought-provoking episode, we unpack the hot topicsof plagiarism, copyright law, and the growing popularity of dupes in the worlds of fashion, food, and music. From the viral Brookie Bakehouse controversy—where a food blogger was accused of copying recipes—to the legal grey areas of creative ownership, we explore where inspiration ends and imitation begins.

We dive into what makes something a dupe vs a copy, how copyright laws apply to recipes, music, and even chord progressions, and why consumers are turning to budget-friendly alternatives in a time of rising costs. Plus, we talk about how social media trends, intellectual property, and originality intersect in today's fast-paced content-driven world.

🎙 Key Topics Covered:

- What counts as plagiarism in creative industries

- Copyright issues in recipes and music

- The psychology and ethics behind fashion and food dupes

- How consumer behaviour is shaping the rise of alternatives

- Real-world examples of copyright disputes and brand controversies

Whether you're a content creator, foodie, fashion lover, or music enthusiast, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on the ongoing debate between originality, influence, and imitation.

In Episode 7, tensions are high and exits are higher. Beck bows out early, Emma makes declarations, and Chloe drops her mum's wisdom like a mic: "If there’s doubt, there’s no doubt." The triangles are crumbling, the Airbnb's are clearing, and the singles are left wondering if they've just been ghosted in real time. Peyton realises Jordan might be the Jack Black of her dreams (or nightmares), Mike proves he's still a defensive nightmare, and Chloe finally makes her decision—with Bernie, the “walking red flag,” waiting in Hyde Park.

There’s a soft breakup, a pros-and-cons list that needs fire, and a shocking number of people pretending flights from Melbourne to the Gold Coast are “cheap as chips.” And yes, there is another jingle. No, we’re not sorry.

Next week? The reunion. And let’s just say… the off-camera truth bombs are about to detonate.
