About this listen
When former government staffer Alisha Aitken-Radburn was given a 'villain edit' on her first season of The Bachelor, she wasn't entirely surprised – there are only a handful of character tropes producers can manipulate into storylines. But the backlash on social media was unexpectedly intense, and Alisha found her sense of identity completely rocked by a single comment: 'You are a bad person'.
Determined to shake the 'villain' label, she returned to reality TV screens, and this time, she got a different edit. She was met with praise and empathy, and her portrayal led to a third and final season, where she met the man she would marry.
But along Alisha's rocky path in the reality TV spotlight, the line between truth and fiction blurred. The Villain Edit charts her journey through the smoke-and-mirrors worlds of politics, reality TV and social media, revealing how the perceptions of others can rewrite the story of who we think we are, and how important it is to know when to go off-script and take control of the narrative.

Really good!
I've followed Alisha's Bach story since the beginning, and she's done an amazing job with this book. This was a compelling insiders look into two worlds, really - reality TV and Aus politics. As a lover of both, I was captivated til the end. Great work Alisha!

Alicia's voice kept me interested....🥰
My Audiobook, and Alicia's voice kept me interested and intrigued. She didn't allow me to get bored, I hung on every word. Great report on the reality TV life and behind the scenes.
