Sara’s pure surprise
The evening began with a fashion faux pas when one star arrived in spectacular fashion at the party.
Sara Mesa, looking glamorous in a daring lilac dress, suffered an awkward wardrobe malfunction when her completely sheer dress slipped off.
But, as long as it was sport, she laughed off the gaffe and adjusted her outfit with the grace of a reality TV pro as she arrived alongside co-star Lauren Dunn.
While recovering from the malfunction, the close friends were later seen showing off their stylish ensembles as they posed for the cameras.

Ink instead of love
Ridge Barredo, always one to make a good impression, certainly made a memorable statement when he showed off his tattoo in tribute to his on-screen wife, Jade Pywell.
In a Bali-inspired moment of passion, Ridge revealed Jade’s name tattooed on his back in a very bold and permanent statement.
Jade’s reaction? A mix of adulation and fun.
“The joke is on him, because my name is there,” he chuckled, proving that love (or at least, tattoos) are forever.

Where is the love?

Meanwhile, Lauren Dunn had nothing but praise for her on-screen husband Jonathan McCullough, despite his dramatic texting scandal with fellow girlfriend Ellie Dix.
“He’s too nice for me,” she admitted while discussing the downfall of their relationship.

The elephant is not in the room
The conspicuous absence of Jack Dunkley and Tori Adams was the unsolved mystery of the night, leaving Timothy anxious for a confrontation that never came.
“You fucking liar,” he declared, directing his disappointment at Jack, the ghost of the party.
“He’s full of shit from head to toe,” he added.
When Kate Ritchie asked, “What’s Jack doing?”, Tim replied, “Everyone’s doing.”

Lucinda Light, opening up about her post-show dating details, revealed that her inbox is overflowing with potential suitors, both men and women.
However, her heart still waits for that special someone after her separation from Timothy, proving that even after the cameras stop rolling, the search for love continues.
“Right now I’m building something on my website called Lucinda Light Tribe,” she shared.
‘It’s a fortnightly Zoom chat with me, there’s Tribe Times, which is a weekly publication, it’ll have my emotional intelligence and refresher course and you’ll get a copy of my book.
‘This is really exciting from a business perspective. But I’m definitely looking at offers that have come to me from Iceland to Japan. Actually, it’s been crazy, like hundreds of offers. Business is booming.’
