Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to the Maththony podcast. And after
Speaker 1: a week or two of confusion and speculation about what
Speaker 1: actually went down between Alyssa and David, which led to
Speaker 1: their relationship becoming so toxic to the point they're now
Speaker 1: subtly taking swipes at each other in their various radio interviews,
Speaker 1: Well we now have our answer. And it turns out,
Speaker 1: as I've been recently saying on here, they didn't abruptly
Speaker 1: fall apart at this part of the experiment after two
Speaker 1: months of living the dream. But it actually turns out
Speaker 1: they were never actually that perfect after all. But again,
Speaker 1: and like I've been saying, this show just decided to
Speaker 1: not include any of their drama as it would take
Speaker 1: away from how we felt about the mean girl's situation
Speaker 1: and the sympathy they wanted us to feel for a Lissa,
Speaker 1: because it turns out, after all, the real reason they
Speaker 1: ultimately didn't work seems to be because Alyssa just well,
Speaker 1: she wasn't actually that great of a person. And remember
Speaker 1: this moment Alyssa and David's wedding when we kind of
Speaker 1: saw a snippet of a personality that was a little
Speaker 1: bit extra Wow, do I have to do it right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to get on one knee. We'll see. No,
Speaker 2: I'm not going to marry you until you get and
Speaker 2: ask me to marry you late. I'm not marrying you
Speaker 2: until you get gale and proposed to me.
Speaker 1: Well, it turns out, and this is going solely off
Speaker 1: the unseen footage they've shown on last night's episode of
Speaker 1: After the Dinner Party on Stan that she was actually
Speaker 1: just like that all of the time. Take a listen
Speaker 1: to this little clippaer from the retreat when Alyssa decided
Speaker 1: that her room with David wasn't good enough, so she
Speaker 1: decided to take that out on David.
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to fix the fucking idea and you're
Speaker 2: just starting, not coming up with a solution.
Speaker 1: You have.
Speaker 2: Fuck you, I've fucking solved every fucking problem that.
Speaker 1: Don't cancel me.
Speaker 2: Don't cancel me like that. That's disrespectful. Have a shower
Speaker 2: and fucking come to bed.
Speaker 3: Don't talk to me like that.
Speaker 1: Please have some respect.
Speaker 2: Look at it. Do you want to see right light? Look,
Speaker 2: there are no blinds. There is no blinds. I can't
Speaker 2: sleep in here, I can see outside.
Speaker 1: And now take and listen to this little clip pair
Speaker 1: of Alissa talking about how much better she is than David.
Speaker 2: To David, I feel like, obviously, I am really ambitious,
Speaker 2: like I'm I never stop, and I feel like I've
Speaker 2: traveled the world, you know. I've been able to see
Speaker 2: the world, you know, over twenty countries. And I've built
Speaker 2: my house, yes, and I've built you know, my brand,
Speaker 2: my personal brand as well with amazing sponsorships. I've done
Speaker 2: it all. I've got it all except for this part
Speaker 2: of my life that's been missing. I know that you've
Speaker 2: been working so hard, but it would be cool to
Speaker 2: like see you do something with your earnings and your
Speaker 2: hard work. It's just about taking those steps, and it's
Speaker 2: just more reassuring for me knowing that you've got something
Speaker 2: to fall back on. I feel like you are ambitious,
Speaker 2: and you've built your business obviously, and you're doing really
Speaker 2: well in your business. I don't know about all the
Speaker 2: back end stuff like you know, because I'm like just
Speaker 2: getting to know you. But that's why I wanted to
Speaker 2: bring that up with you. Are we both going to
Speaker 2: be grinding? Are we both going to be able to
Speaker 2: live this lavish lifestyle that I want to live and
Speaker 2: that he wants to live. Are we're going to be
Speaker 2: able to afford it? Because you know, it's important that
Speaker 2: we can keep up with each other. Obviously, you know
Speaker 2: he's still renting. He might drive a car that he
Speaker 2: might own, But where are your assets? You know, I
Speaker 2: need to know that you are financially stable and you
Speaker 2: know you can look after a family.
Speaker 1: And in recent weeks, as I've discussed on this podcast,
Speaker 1: as all the various anonymous Sauce News articles have had
Speaker 1: this questioning will which one of them will come out
Speaker 1: of this like as the villain in the relationship, it
Speaker 1: now seems very clear that that is Alyssa, with even
Speaker 1: the After the Dinner Party hosts Brittany Hockley and Laura
Speaker 1: Burn making their opinions very clear on this situation. And
Speaker 1: bear in mind Brita and Laura are two people whose
Speaker 1: entire brand has been built on championing women.
Speaker 3: Oh, David, I just feel like you have the patience
Speaker 3: of a saint with this kind of thing happening all
Speaker 3: the time behind the scenes.
Speaker 1: That was probably the worst. That was the worst.
Speaker 3: I think that this might be a perfect example of
Speaker 3: when Alissa says, you know, I want someone who he
Speaker 3: stimulates me, or you don't stimulate me necessarily. What she
Speaker 3: might actually be saying is that you're not rising to
Speaker 3: the dry because she's throwing it at you and you've
Speaker 3: stayed really calm. David. I think in the world of
Speaker 3: the MANI sphere that we're in right now, you are
Speaker 3: a wonderfully beautiful example of the way a man should be.
Speaker 1: Having now listened to all of that which was purposely
Speaker 1: excluded from the main show in Channel nine, let's briefly
Speaker 1: go back to this radio interview Alica did recently, who is.
Speaker 2: Getting a bad edit?
Speaker 1: And actually isn't that bad? Steve?
Speaker 3: Who's getting a good edit?
Speaker 2: David?
Speaker 1: Is there anyone you wouldn't talk to if you bumped
Speaker 1: into them? Had an a bit Alyssa suggesting weeks ago
Speaker 1: ONLVE Radio there that David was getting a good edit
Speaker 1: and suggesting that the real David was nothing like the
Speaker 1: one on the show we'd been watching. Just seems bizarre
Speaker 1: and almost like she was trying to plant this public
Speaker 1: narrative so she could ultimately come out on top. And
Speaker 1: let's also go back to that New Idea article I
Speaker 1: read on her last week with these source quotes, which
Speaker 1: read Alyssa's incredibly anxious about what viewers might think of her.
Speaker 1: She's scared that the narrative will make her look paranoid
Speaker 1: or over emotional when there was actually a lot more
Speaker 1: going on. Reality TV can be brutal. She just hopes
Speaker 1: viewers understand that what they're seeing isn't the full picture.
Speaker 1: Now to me, at least, that actually reads that Alyssa
Speaker 1: is potentially the source of that article and she's trying
Speaker 1: to plant this like seed in the public domain. That again,
Speaker 1: David is the bad guy, even if we do see
Speaker 1: unseen moments like that which possess that Nah, it's actually
Speaker 1: her who should daddy?
Speaker 2: I'm my daddy, who's a slagquing, I'm a slagueen, I'm Melissa,
Speaker 2: I'm from Adelaide, and I'm a nurse and social media manager.
Speaker 1: Now, before I wrap this pot up, I do actually
Speaker 1: have one final little point to share in all of this,
Speaker 1: and that's throughout this season, I've spoken a lot on
Speaker 1: this podcast about story acts and how producers approach things
Speaker 1: in a way where they kind of predetermine the start, middle,
Speaker 1: and end of any storyline they actually want, and they
Speaker 1: will then exclude footage or manipulate footage of what may
Speaker 1: actually happen so they can get that start, middle, and
Speaker 1: end and the narrative they want to play out on screen,
Speaker 1: and throughout this season, it really appears. And as I've
Speaker 1: been saying that the main story act up until this
Speaker 1: point of the experiment they wanted was to make the
Speaker 1: mean girls seem as bad as possible, and in order
Speaker 1: to make us feel even more discussed and hate towards them,
Speaker 1: they had to make a Lista seem like an angel
Speaker 1: in comparison. Again, which is why I believe they purposely
Speaker 1: chose to cut all of that unseen stuff just out
Speaker 1: of the main Channel nine show, because that would take
Speaker 1: away from this narrative and if we didn't have that
Speaker 1: sympathy for a Lissa, we maybe wouldn't feel as strongly
Speaker 1: when everybody tried to tear her down and ultimately and again,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, this After the Dinner Party Stands show
Speaker 1: this year has done more bad than good for the
Speaker 1: overall Maths brand because bringing out unseen moments like this
Speaker 1: now just proves what viewers have long suspected, and that's
Speaker 1: how the version of the show that they edit and
Speaker 1: show towards on Channel nine is actually fake, while proving
Speaker 1: to us through this stand show this year how they
Speaker 1: can so easily manipulate things in a way that does
Speaker 1: skew reality to go with the fake version of reality
Speaker 1: that they want us to believe.
