Blue Chip Talent - TV Appearances

Securing TV opportunities for our Team is critical for the Talent we represent and expanding their earning capabilities and awareness among the TV Viewers at home. We have been fortunate enough to have secured the below across the journey!

SAYA SAKAKIBARA | AUSTRALIAN STORY

Saya Sakakibara in the lead up to her book launch was covered by Australian Story on the ABC. Blue Chip Talent partnered with Australian Story thanks to the help of Simon & Schuster and the hardworking PR Team behind the scenes from our book partnership. The goal was to reach a new audience for Saya with 1 million + Australian's tuning in as an older demographic to her usual following. The episode is available on ABC Streaming https://iview.abc.net.au/show/australian-story.

ALEX NATION | THE TRAITORS AUSTRALIA

In October 2025, it was announced that Alex Nation, known from The Bachelor Australia and Bachelor in Paradise, would join the 2026 season of The Traitors Australia alongside other reality TV personalities (from The Bachelor Australia, Real Housewives, MasterChef, Big Brother, etc.).

This upcoming season marks a shift to an all–reality TV personality cast, moving away from previous seasons that featured unknown contestants. It will also see a hosting change, with Gretel Killeen taking over from Rodger Corser.

SAYA SAKAKIBARA | 60 MINUTES

60 Minutes has followed Saya for the early months of 2024 as she ascended to World Number 1 in BMX. They cover the highs and lows of her journey and we were so proud to cast Saya on such an iconic show and get them to share the story of this wonderful family. This piece was filmed predominantly at Blue Chip HQ and was supported heavily by our team of staff to bring it together with the excellent team from 60 Minutes and Channel 9.

PHOEBE TIMMINS | SURVIVOR ALL STARS

After an impressive display on Survivor Australia’s Season 1, Phoebe was always a frontrunner to make a return and feature in All-Stars.

Phoebe joined The Project to promote the show, Studio 10 and featured heavily in Daily Telegraph, News.com.au and the Daily Mail.

RIANA CREHAN | SAS AUSTRALIA

Riana is not one for too much Reality Television, but when the opportunity to test herself against one of the hardest challenges in Australia came up - it was something she could not pass on.

Riana will be one of the recruits to watch in 2022 with her Fitness focused lifestyle and strong mindset. She has always held a high level of respect for those that served and it was only heightened in this experience.

BECK ZEMEK | CELEBRITY APPRENTICE AUSTRALIA

TV is hard enough, let alone when you are hiding a pregnancy and doing whatever it takes to support a Charity you care for. This was Beck’s challenge as she filmed Celebrity Apprentice in late 2021.

Weeks away from home, a spate of pregnancy related illnesses and the uncertainty of whether she could get back to Perth with the chaos Omicron created. Despite all these challenges, Beck gave the show everything and with her business background - she will be one of the top contenders on the show when it airs in 2022.

Celebrity Apprentice is on Channel 9 and streaming free on 9now.

KAI & SAYA SAKAKIBARA | BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS

The Sakakibara Family had a tough 2020, with Kai's accident they gave their heart and soul to his rehabilitation and Mum - Yuki and Dad - Martin put themselves second to help get him back to a good quality of life.

So Blue Chip Talent, in conjunction with the wonderful team at Channel 7, wanted to do something special for the Sakakibara's. After hearing of the difficulties Martin had with his backyard, BCT spoke to Better Homes and Gardens and a talented executive they had there who had previously booked Kai and Saya on the show for an Olympics Special.

The Better Homes and Gardens conducted an exceptional backyard makeover worth 6 figures for the Family and it has brought a smile to everyone's face, everyday since. We cannot thank Better Homes and Gardens enough for pulling this project together with us and it truly humbled us all.

SAYA SAKAKIBARA | ONE PLUS ONE

Saya, after a whirlwind 2021 - joined One Plus One and host Kurt Fearnley to discuss her Olympic experience as well as the highs and lows from the journey she had to get there. She spoke excitedly about her bright future and the road the the Paris Olympics in just a few years time.

SAYA SAKAKIBARA | THE BACK PAGE

Blue Chip Talent secured Saya her first live TV opportunity with The Back Page on Fox Sports. We felt this opportunity was important for Saya to show the world how natural she is in front of camera and what a great conversationalist she can be on Sport in general. Saya impressed the panel with her easy going nature and won the hearts of the audience as she spoke her truths across Foxtel / Kayo live. Saya loved spending time with such a knowledgeable sports team, who had clearly done their homework!
