1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: This is a really interesting one reality television. We need

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: to talk about this, mate, because floodgoats are right, Well,

3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:11,239
Speaker 1: this is the thing now House Rules Now, I just

4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: quickly want to bring up because Joanna Griggs has left

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: the show because she was pretty upset with the way

6
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 1: things were going on that show. Yeah yeah, and the

7
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: roads that it was going down.

8
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 2: Is that why she left?

9
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: That confirmed? I don't know, it's not confirmed. It was

10
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: an article written saying that might be one of the reasons.

11
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: But I mean, Griggsy's done everything for Channel seven over

12
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: the years.

13
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 3: It's been amazing.

14
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 1: She wouldn't walk away from I suppose she is doing

15
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: quite a bit. That could be the reason why she does.

16
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 2: Better homes and gardens.

17
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, So this is to do with House Rules

18
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 3: and a former contestant who was portrayed as a villain.

19
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 3: So House Rules has won a worker's compensation case against

20
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,919
Speaker 3: Channel seven for the psychological injury that this woman has sustained.

21
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 3: Nicole Prince was her name. They haven't declared how much

22
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 3: money was given to her, but I'll tell you what.

23
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 3: It just opens the floodgats. You see what these reality

24
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 3: shows are and you think, I wonder how that person's

25
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 3: being treated behind the scenes because they are often employed

26
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 3: by the network or the production company all that time

27
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 3: on the show.

28
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: If you've been in reality TV contestant on a show before,

29
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 1: and you're listening to us right now thirteen twenty fourteen,

30
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 1: give us a call. I mean everyone, here's them complaining

31
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: when they get off a show the way that it's

32
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: been edited. Of course, you know, and the argument always

33
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: will you still said that? But see reading this story

34
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: on Nicole Prince. She basically said Sarah that every time

35
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: that she would go in and they would look at

36
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: another contestants room, they only showed the negative comments that

37
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: her and her partner said on the show. Can she

38
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: proves that long?

39
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: She said?

40
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: Where do you get the vision?

41
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 3: She said, as soon as and I enter the studio,

42
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 3: this was the team the scoring weeks, we could see

43
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 3: and feel the hatred from the other team, she said.

44
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 3: We did not understand where all of this was coming from.

45
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 3: We discovered months later that the revealed footage that were

46
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 3: shown to the other teams only contained our negative comments

47
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 3: about their innovation work and none of the positive things

48
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 3: we had said during every camera interview. Both myself and

49
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 3: Fiona complained on film that we were being subjected to isolation,

50
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 3: bullying and harassment by the other teams. She said. On

51
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 3: one occasion, I witnessed Fiona being physically assaulted. Channel seven

52
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 3: portrayed Fiona as bullies in the episode featuring our team.

53
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 3: She said after the episode was aired, I was subject

54
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 3: to online abuse on the Channel seven Facebook page, including

55
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 3: receiving threats of serious physical assault. I have been fearing

56
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 3: for my safety ever since. I'm no longer off at

57
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 3: interviews for jobs because of how I was portrayed. Oh,

58
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 3: not that many people.

59
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 2: Do you feel like that though, fits, I mean, you're

60
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 2: the one in the room that's done reality TV.

61
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: Well, this is the look I can I can understand

62
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: the argument of what you say on television you can't

63
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: go back on. I mean, they've got that, that vision

64
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: is there. The way that they put it into a

65
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: story can make you look in a negative light. That's

66
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: the only thing that you worry about. But I feel

67
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: like when I did it over fifteen years ago, back

68
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 1: in two thousand and four, it's nowhere near as bad

69
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: as it is now because you look at married at

70
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: first sight. Now you've got a mate that's going on

71
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: married at first site at the moment, are you worried

72
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: about how he's going to be portrayed.

73
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 2: The difference between say Big Brother and reality shows outside

74
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 2: of it is you didn't have producers in your ear. Yes,

75
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 2: And with all these shows, there are always producers trying

76
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 2: to get you down a road, or to say a thing,

77
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 2: or to make you worry about something that may or

78
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 2: may not be real, so you react to it. But

79
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 2: the one thing that they consistently say, and anyone that's

80
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 2: been on shows Mattie Jail talk about it with the

81
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 2: Bachelor or whatever, is they can only lead you to water.

82
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 2: They can't make you do it. And so if you

83
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 2: don't want to say the thing or engage in the

84
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 2: interaction that they're trying to get you to do, you

85
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 2: just don't have to. But you do it.

86
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 3: If I'm on a show like this right on Channel seven,

87
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 3: and I walk into a room and I say, you know,

88
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 3: I'm looking at all the other contestants bedrooms and I go, oh,

89
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 3: beautiful BedHead. I'm not sure about that. In the bathroom

90
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 3: next him, I walk into. I love what they're done

91
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 3: with the lighting. That's not the color scheme I like.

92
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 3: And then you cut out all the positive comments. You

93
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 3: haven't portrayed a realistic view of what I've done. The

94
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 3: problem with this is that with the success of this case,

95
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 3: if you would if the law was to change and

96
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 3: the director and the producers in the edit suite had

97
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 3: to had to portray and even balance view for the

98
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 3: person said reality TV. So the other thing is the theme.

99
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: The other thing is, well, we've worked in the industry

100
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: for a long time, so we understand that. But these

101
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: people have never been to a studio in their lives

102
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: before or been behind a camera before.

103
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 4: Now.

104
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: You know, let's say on a Saturday night, you get

105
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 1: a few friends around in the backyard and you have

106
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: a few drinks. Sometimes the conversation can get a bit dark,

107
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: you know, the humor can get a bit dark. You

108
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: just forget sometimes that these people and when alcohol is involved,

109
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: you start, you know, you start cracking jokes that might

110
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: be a bit rude, incorrect. You don't even know about it.

111
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 1: You go to bid that night, you wake up the

112
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: next day and you don't know that there's a storm

113
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: going on outside.

114
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 2: And people go into this always thinking they're going to

115
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 2: be smarter than the show, but you don't realize they

116
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 2: want you to be your tevied end always. So whereas

117
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 2: you go on my best day, I'm going to be

118
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 2: friendly and polite and patient. But if you have been

119
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 2: sitting outside in the cold for four hours, you're hungry,

120
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 2: you haven't been able to go to the bathroom, and

121
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 2: then you get put a camera in front of you,

122
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 2: you're going to be more testy, more angry, more aggressive,

123
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 2: less patient. And that's when you say the things that

124
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 2: they'll portray you saying. And you might go, that's not

125
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 2: what I mean. But you said it legal.

126
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 3: Cases to come, Blake Garvey, I would have thought, he says,

127
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 3: I mean the producer. I'll tell you what, when Blake

128
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 3: Garvey decided that he wanted to switch things at the

129
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 3: last minute, the producers, we have got a home run here.

130
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: All right, we go, We got we got Deane on

131
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: from Married at first sighting? You there, buddy, mate, Okay,

132
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: So this this couple, they've won a bit of a

133
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: case against Channel seven and house rules with the way

134
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: that they've been portrayed. Do you reckon this could open

135
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: the floodgates for other reality contestants, team.

136
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 4: Mate, it totally could. I know it happens a lot,

137
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 4: and I know you know, people get edited and portrayed

138
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 4: in different ways, and yeah, I could see a lot

139
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 4: of people. I've spoken to a lot of people that

140
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 4: have had this happened to them. I kind of spoke

141
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 4: out about it. I have like five or six different

142
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 4: reality TV people reach out to me and say, yeah,

143
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 4: the same thing happened to me. So it could open

144
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 4: the floodgates for sure.

145
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 2: I think the big.

146
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: One that we need to ask Deean is that you

147
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: went on that show to find love, right, but then

148
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: there was another storyline that happened with you and Divina.

149
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: I think the question that needs to be asked was

150
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: were you pushed into And I mean people will stay

151
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: you can't be pushed. If you don't want to do that,

152
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: you don't have to do that. But was that sis

153
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: to you to go down that road?

154
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 4: No, that's not what I'm talking about. That was my suggestion.

155
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 4: If anything okay, well you've just done. You're going to

156
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 4: get a good pay out there. I take more responsibility for.

157
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 4: What I don't take responsibility for is all the other

158
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 4: stuff where they send that I want a woman to

159
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 4: obey me and things like that when you work like

160
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 4: that never came out of my mouth. I never said

161
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 4: anything like that. They died all that together and made

162
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 4: me look like this guy that wanted a woman to

163
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 4: obey him.

164
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 3: But you would see very early on I reckon if

165
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 3: you if you were clued in and knowing you're going

166
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 3: on a show like this, you know that very quickly

167
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 3: the producers are going to try and choose some storylines.

168
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 3: So they're going to be asking questions that encourage you

169
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 3: to say, did you have that feel about working with

170
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 3: the producers.

171
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 4: Inside as much like to the extent that that would

172
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 4: happen I had, I had my eatlings, But you know

173
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 4: I also said so many like positive and nice, friendly,

174
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 4: happy tears, yeah, and they just never use any of that.

175
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 4: So in your head, you're painting a picture, a positive

176
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 4: picture of how you're going to be portrayed, like yeah,

177
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 4: I'm a normal, regular, reasonable person, and then when you

178
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 4: get to edit, it's like, no, that's here and this

179
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 4: works from there, and didn't show your lips moving in

180
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 4: sync with that stuff, And they made a whole different

181
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 4: picture of what happened that night. Yeah, there's that day

182
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 4: at that dinner party.

183
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: You know, well, see this is the thing now, when

184
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: something like this happens in this case, she wins this case.

185
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: I mean, this opens up now you might have a

186
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: case yourself, don't.

187
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, look, I don't think personally I'll be taking any

188
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 4: further action. I do take responsibility for what I said

189
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 4: and did. And you know, I know Channel nine has

190

193
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 4: here and there, these days, I'm fine with it. But

194
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:55,120
