Love Land is actually the most honest 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:08.720 reality show there is because we don't have Frankly, we 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:10.799 don't have time to do all the frank and grabbing 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:12.960 stuff that you know.

And I've got people I respects work 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:19.280 on them. You know, shows like Married at First, like 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:22.480 The Bachelor, you know all those other shows. You know 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:26.320 they have months in the edit, sweet months, literally multiple suites, 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:30.400 multiple editors. We have one night to get our show together. Certainly, 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:33.160 when you guys did it, you know, like literally ten 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:35.080 hours in an edit sweet, So you are what you are. 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:37.920 I remember when I was with my ex QR. She 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:40.920 was messaging you about frankin Bye and you you had 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:42.200 some strong words. 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:45.360 To say about it. You hated it. Yeah, you said 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:47.040 it's bullshit or something like that, do you. 0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:51.440 I mean, look, it's not fair. I agree, I get 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:54.120 I get it sometimes, like if someone misses up their words, right, 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:56.720 if I was to say, oh, you know, hi Matt 0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:58.839 and Sue sorry, I mean, and I are doing nice 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:01.040 to see you today. Yeah, I've got no problem with 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:03.839 you cutting out the yan Sue and blah blah blah 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:05.520 and making it high man and Anna. That is that's 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:07.560 fair game because I'm meant to say it. Yeah, But 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:10.960 if I say Anna, I you know, I love you, 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:13.080 and then hey Matt, I hate you, and then suddenly 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:16.440 on television and say Anna, I hate you, that's not fair. 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:17.520 Yeah, it's not. 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:21.040 It's not what actually happened. So it's yeah, essentially it's 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:21.719 not fair. 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:23.680 But you know, we've got a job to do. We've 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:25.719 got twenty four hours of vision to get down to, 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:28.720 you know, one hour, so we're always going to cop 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:31.919 it from Theorlanders every single time, you know, any reality 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:34.279 TV show producer will cop it no matter what a 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:37.240 great job they do, because people will be like, why 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:39.400 didn't you show that bit? Why didn't you show that bit? 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:44.000 And that's just like because there's twenty three hours you know, 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:45.960 or you know, twenty three hours of the day that 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:47.279 are not going to be on television. 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:50.080 So have you guys had a lot of backlash as 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:53.320 producers from ex contestants coming to being like, what the 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:54.119 fuck is this? 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:59.839 Honestly no, because I believe that the three big reality 0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:02.120 ses shows that I've done in Australia, Big Brother you 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:04.080 know when it was proper Big Brother, I'm a celeb 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:07.200 to get me out of here, and love Land, I've 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:09.640 all been fast to turn around shows. And even now, 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:11.480 even though the Spain is already in the can, our 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:13.960 series pause in the can, we still cut it exactly 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:16.160 the same, you know, So it looks and feels like 0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:18.839 love l Like we've shot one episode a day, we 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:22.320 will cut one episode a day. It is exactly the same. So, 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:26.080 like I said before, the fact, the fact is on 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:28.719 my shows, I don't have the ability to turn you 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:32.000 from the hero into the diket, you know. So the 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.279 answer is no, I have absolutely no doubts. I'm not 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:37.160 stupid that people will slag us off behind our backs 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:39.560 and go, they really fucking you know, they've done this, 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:41.920 and they've done that, blah blah blah blah blah. More 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:44.279 with us, it's a bit, you know, it's the dramatic edit. 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:46.400 So like, let's say there's a fire pit, right, I'll 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:48.719 give you the example. There's a fire pit and you know, 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:51.919 the commercial track is pumping, you know, and the drama 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:54.359 you know, and you've got the flames and the moon 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:56.680 and it's all you know, and you know, and you 0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:58.960 cut to a shot of Matt's face. Now we want 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:01.719 Matt to be sitting himself because he's about to get dumped, 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:03.080 and that's her going. 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:04.560 That's good. 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:08.960 Will we use a shot of him looking serious and 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:11.279 five minutes before you better ask your all because you 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.800 know it's a television show and you know we're building 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:17.000 the drama. But again, that's fair because that was how 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:18.360 he was feeling at the time, do you know what 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:21.080 I mean? Yeah, that is that's that's the limit to 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:24.280 what we go. I've heard horror stories about other producers 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:28.720 getting absolutely you know, trolled and ripped apart, you know. Yeah, 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:31.240 but not me, but like, look, you. 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:34.360 Guys can turn someone who's like maybe not like that 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.680 much of a likable person into a really good person, 0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:40.760 like you can give someone like a superstar edit though, right. 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:43.240 Yeah, I mean yeah, but again, we don't have a 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:45.560 lot of time to do that. I mean, it's pretty 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:48.320 hard to hide a bitch you're a dickhead, you know. 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:53.000 On I'm a celeb. We've had some celebs that, you know, 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:57.279 it was pretty hard to make them heroes, you know, 0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:00.080 and there's a show, it's a show about heroes, and 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:04.000 we made the decision you know, not to because we're 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:06.120 showing what actually happened. So you know, there were a 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:07.440 few and I'm not going to name drop now, but 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:11.000 you know there were real dicks in camp, and we 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:13.679 showed them being dicks, you know, because that's what happened. 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:16.640 I can't think of an example where we turned someone 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.440 who was, you know, a really terrible human being into 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:22.360 a nice person. Well, yeah, sure, we might have to 0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:25.720 sanitize stuff, like if there is something that is really 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:29.920 full on, you know, or can't be shown for classification reasons. 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:32.840 You know, we've had arguments in the Love Island Villa 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:35.320 before that, you know, are you know, all fs and 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:37.760 cs and screaming and shouting and we can only show 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:40.240 this much of this much because if we showed the 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:42.160 rest would be taken off air. Yeah, you know, so. 0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:46.720 On that, what was the biggest drama you've had to 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:48.240 deal with as like a producer? 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:49.960 Like actually on TV? 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:54.080 I mean, look, there's there's sad ones and there's massive ones. 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:56.400 I mean, I'll start in love I in terms that 0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:59.880 the physical fight between Grant and Eden in season one 0:07:59.880 --> 0:08:05.360 and Spain was full on. You know, there was a guy, 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:07.640 one of the bombs called Dom I thank god he 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:12.840 was six foot five. He essentially saved that franchise. You know, 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:14.800 he doesn't know this, he's probably never heard that story, 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:20.680 but he put his body in between these two bull elephants, 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:22.320 you know, who were about to rip each other's fucking 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:26.600 eyeballs and stood like this. And because we can get 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:28.320 there quick enough, you know, we had security there and 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:30.960 they were in pretty quickly, and all the islanders were great, 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:33.760 but you know, you had Taylor, Demir and Eron and 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:36.760 you know Millie and you know, all these kind of 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:40.840 tiny human beings around and these two blokes going at 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:43.760 each other and Dom put himself in the middle, and 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:46.480 I think, and I'm a fat bastard, and you know 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:49.280 I'm The villa was four hundred meters away from the 0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:50.880 control room.

That I feel, don't. 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:57.440 Yeah, I still remember an hour on when you said 0:08:57.480 --> 0:08:59.360 that you did a mercy run up to the villa 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:03.120 when yeah, when Luke said he was going home, I 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:04.480 still use that expression now. 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:10.640 I remember. I remember I had to give Luke a cigarette. 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:14.400 So there's a little there's a little behind the scene. 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:14.960 Behind the scenes. 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:18.000 I got a cigarette at one point. 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:23.439 Sure n Yeah, I think you're giving a lot of 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:24.000 darts here. 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:28.640 Every we needed a relax and at that point anything 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:30.480 was give me anything. 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:31.079 I mean. 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:33.520 That's actually one of the questions I had for you. 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:37.800 Why do we only get one alcoholic beverage a night 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:40.760 on Love Island when in other reality TV shows they 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:43.040 get them absolutely hammered. 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.960 Yep, Okay.

The worst thing 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:53.920 that can happen on Love Land, and there's no secret 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:56.600 around this, is that someone touches somebody that doesn't want 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:59.640 to be touched, or something inappropriate happens and there is 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:02.319 a lack of of consent and alcohol blurs those lines. 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:02.640 Yeah. 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:06.520 You know how many times in our normal lives have 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:09.160 we done stuff when we're pissed and the next morning 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:10.640 woke up and gone, oh. 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:11.800 Ship mate every weekend. 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:18.040 Yeah, so that's why that is the number one reason. 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:20.000 The number two reason is I think it makes shit 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:23.560 TV because you know, you are slurry, you make, you 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:26.640 make poor decisions. I don't want to make a show where, 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:29.319 you know, drunk people are screaming each other. I'd rather 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:31.280 make a show where scream the sober people are screaming 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:33.080 each other. And Love Hold is a show where we 0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:35.680 want you to look amazing all the time. Who looks 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:38.840 great when they're off their tits? Nobody? You know, you 0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:42.280 might look great to other people who are off but 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:45.600 trust me, you know I made I made Big Brother 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:48.400 for many many years back when it was filmed up 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:51.920 here in Queensland. And you know they might get four 0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:54.720 sometimes five drinks a night back in the good old days. 0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:59.000 And you know when when you go past a level, 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:01.959 you can't it anyway because they just they'd look pissed. 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:05.880 It's not you know, it's just not the way to 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:08.120 make the TV and it's not responsible, especially with you know, 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:10.720 we're putting boys and girls together in an intimate situation 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:12.200 and you're all under our duty of care. 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.400 So you know, every single year, please we have another beer. 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:18.720 Please give another beer, Please with another glass. It's like 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:27.800 it's like herding cats, and you'd be like, yes, I 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:31.120 want one now. But in hindsight, when you look back 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:34.080 at that series and look at how good you looked? Right, Like, 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:35.520 how good did you guys? 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:37.240 Look? You know you're never going to look better at 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:39.000 any time in your life than you do when you're 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:41.600 in love Land Villa. Right, Yeah, you are the peak 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:44.960 of your health, the peak of your hotness. And that's 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:50.199 because you can google you know, Anna from Love Island, 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:51.800 and that's what's going to come up. Do you know 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:54.080 what I mean? So do you want to be that? 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:55.640 Or do you want to be the pissed girl? 0:11:56.400 --> 0:12:00.360 I thank my lucky studs every single day that I 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:02.920 wasn't allowed more than one drink in that shark as 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:06.040 well things one hundred real quickly. 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:09.240 Yeah, don't think, don't think you're lucky stars thank. 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:09.840 God, thank you. 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:12.679 Do you remember me walking out of the finale? Was 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:14.360 like a six pack under my arm. I was like, 0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:15.200 I haven't heard this. 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:19.160 But once the cameras are off, are off. 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:23.679 Look for people listening at home and they look at 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:27.000 you and they're like, wow, he's the executive producer of 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:30.240 Love Ireland. Shows like I'm a celebrity big brother, like 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:34.640 amazing shows like the best shows essentially in Australia, How 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:35.480 do you get there? 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:36.199 Do you study? 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:36.480 Like? 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:38.760 What's the process to getting to where you are? For 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:40.720 people who are aspiring to do what you do? 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:44.400 Look starting from the absolute bottom level. So I've been 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:46.520 in Australia since film obviously English, I've been in Australia 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:48.000 since two thousand and one, so I've been there for 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:51.080 a long time now two thousand actually, yeah, twenty two 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:58.319 years now. I did a media degree which was all right. Honestly, 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:00.280 in hindsight, going back to whenever that war, you know, 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:02.680 a million years ago, nineteen ninety seven or whatever it was, 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:05.080 I actually think I probably could have done what I 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:06.959 did without it, because I don't know that I learned 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:10.400 much and just got myself into debt. And having said 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:13.800 all that, I did the degree, but actually a funny story. 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:15.680 And I wrote a letter to a local production company 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:17.000 and it was the best letter I've ever written in 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:18.920 my life, but probably the most important letter I've ever 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:21.079 written in my life. And it basically said, you look 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:23.720 I am. You know, I've always wanted to work in television. 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:26.480 I knew I've always wanted to work in television. I've 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:29.840 always wanted to hear the words that I write, the 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:31.840 games I come up with, the things that you know 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:35.280 come from my brain on the screen and entertain people 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:37.920 around the world. And they loved that letter and I 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:40.880 got job as a runner. I was never asked to 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:44.640 show my university degree once. It's still in the loft 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:47.040 at my dad's house. It's never come out of the 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:50.240 envelope that I got in it. So I could have 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:52.480 basically lied and said I've got a media degree in like, 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:54.600 you know anyway, I'm not. I'm not suggesting people can 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:56.120 go a union anyway. So I write it really. 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:02.320 Do lots coaching even always stay in school. You're like, 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:03.640 don't go to school. 0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:08.280 Go to school. So I wrote really good letter, but 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:10.280 I started at the bottom of the bottom, you know, 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:12.240 And I'm talking about you know, a runner's job in 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:14.120 television is one of the hardest jobs in the world. 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:17.440 You know, you will be driving cars with idiots in 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:19.240 the back of them. You know, you'll be photo copying, 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:22.160 You'll be making sandwiches, You'll be doing coffee runs. Some 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:23.840 of the things the runners have got to do on 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:26.160 Love Island, you know, like you know what happens in 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:28.240 that villa. These guys have got to change the sheets, 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:31.640 do you know what I mean. It's it's not a 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:35.440 great job, but you've got it. You've got to do 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:37.760 it because that's how you that's how you get in now. 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:39.440 I was lucky enough to be working for a very 0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:43.120 small budget show and that meant that many people working 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:44.800 on it. So but you know, I got to operate 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:47.600 cameras and I got to write some funny lines, especially 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:51.040 it's a teenage show about you know, teenage issues, and 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:53.080 so I managed to get up pretty quickly. And then 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:55.080 I found myself working at the BBC on the Live 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:57.320 Hospital Show, which is nothing like what I do now. 0:14:57.360 --> 0:14:59.160 Of course, there was a show that round for many 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:02.480 years of BBC One, and I remember I worked with 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:05.120 an Australian guy and I remember being in the car 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:08.200 park at Guy's Hospital in London that was pissing down 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:11.480 a rain and our porter cabins were next to the 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:14.120 place where they used to incinerate like bits of dead skin, 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:17.880 and you know, so you'd have this constant smell of 0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:20.840 dead flesh in your nostril and it was raining and 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:24.160 you could smell like, you know, massacres going on next door. 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:26.120 And then my phone rang and it was this guy 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:27.960 and he said it was Chris, his name is And 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:30.080 he said, I've just got the job as a series 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:35.520 producer on Temptation Island with filming in Fiji. Would you 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:37.960 like to come over and be a field producer on it? 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:45.320 And I was like, yes, got myself working holiday visa, 0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:48.120 came over, did the show in Fiji, came back to 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:51.840 Australia and honestly, my plan was to you know, drink 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:54.000 and shag my way around Australia for six months, honestly, 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:56.360 but you know it didn't work out. I met a girl, 0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:58.160 I fell in love. I've got a job on Big 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:01.200 Brother season two two thousand and two, did a good 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:03.480 job and it's kind of all gone on from there. 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:07.040 And really, you know, my advice to anyone who wants 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:09.120 to work in this genre. Television is just is to 0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:14.160 understand storytelling and understand casting really because you know, it's 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:17.640 all it's all about the cast these shows, and it's 0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:19.160 all about how much you're willing to put into it 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:22.360 because you've got to sacrifice a lot. People don't think 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:25.880 about the people behind the camera as much as they should. 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:28.760 You know, we spent so much time away from our families. 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:32.200 We work outrageously long hours. And look, I'm not complaining 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:33.760 because I love it. You know, I love my job 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:35.320 and I believe I work on the best two shows 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:38.800 in Australia, So not complaining for a second. But you 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:40.480 know you've got to You've got to put in the 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:43.480 hours you really really do. I mean, if you can 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:46.920 understand what makes good entertainment, then you're halfway there. 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:49.640 Amazing on that when you got the job for like 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:53.520 Love Island Australia, had you done your research and watched. 0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:56.960 A lot of Love Island UK? Or how'd you just when? 0:16:57.520 --> 0:16:59.320 So I was ICV, I was doing on a celebri 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:01.680 it TV. You know, got the tick for Love Islands 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:04.800 and I started frantically researching. So you know, I certainly 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:08.520 wasn't a fan at the time. But I remember watching 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:10.520 the UK season three, that was the one with Kem 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:14.520 and Chris and Anbur and Montana. I mean that was 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:17.680 the best apart from our seasons. Obviously the best Love 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:19.199 Islands ever have been made, you know, And it was 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:21.679 just like, I want to make this show for the 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:25.399 rest of my life.

Yeah, that's in two rules. 0:21:28.640 --> 0:21:32.399 Well, when you're choosing contestants, is there like obviously like 0:21:32.480 --> 0:21:35.240 you have I don't know how many is in the 0:21:35.280 --> 0:21:37.119 cast this year, Like thirty. 0:21:36.840 --> 0:21:39.680 Twenty twenty four, twenty five. 0:21:40.000 --> 0:21:40.520 Twenty five. 0:21:40.600 --> 0:21:43.480 So are they kind of all sorted out into, like, 0:21:44.160 --> 0:21:47.160 you know, like the person who you think could potentially win, 0:21:47.200 --> 0:21:49.560 the funny guy, the villain, Like, are they kind of 0:21:49.800 --> 0:21:51.840 pre sorted before you start filming? 0:21:52.520 --> 0:21:54.439 Certainly not who we think can win, because I'm going 0:21:54.480 --> 0:21:56.000 to say that we don't give a ship that wins, 0:21:56.320 --> 0:21:57.679 you know, I mean, you know, we do, we do, 0:21:57.720 --> 0:21:59.879 we do when it comes down to the crunches, obviously 0:22:00.000 --> 0:22:02.439 obviously with human beings and people that absolutely deserve to 0:22:02.440 --> 0:22:06.280 win the people that don't. But when we're casting that, 0:22:06.280 --> 0:22:09.359 that's the last thing on my mind. You cannot put 0:22:10.280 --> 0:22:12.000 I'm just going to say the number of ten because 0:22:12.040 --> 0:22:13.520 that's sort of how many you start with. You cannot 0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:17.920 put ten people that are the same in a villa. 0:22:18.000 --> 0:22:19.840 So that doesn't mean we're looking for heroes and villains. 0:22:19.840 --> 0:22:23.199 We're looking for people that are going to provoke a 0:22:23.240 --> 0:22:28.280 reaction with the audience. Okay, you can't put ten bubbly 0:22:28.359 --> 0:22:31.880 blonde girls in the villa who are a bit sweet 0:22:32.240 --> 0:22:35.800 and you know, a little bit funny. You can put 0:22:35.960 --> 0:22:38.200 one of those in, and then you need to put 0:22:38.200 --> 0:22:41.560 in the fari brunette who looks completely different. Because let's 0:22:41.560 --> 0:22:43.399 be honest, you know, it's a TV show and when 0:22:43.440 --> 0:22:45.720 you put up we call it the bust back as 0:22:45.720 --> 0:22:47.800 our industry term, when you put up the bus back 0:22:47.840 --> 0:22:51.880 of the ten Islanders. Okay, you need different colors of hair, 0:22:51.920 --> 0:22:56.399 different colors of skin, different different heights, different levels of 0:22:56.440 --> 0:23:00.959 tax different you know everything because viewers and I include 0:23:01.000 --> 0:23:02.879 myself in this because I'm a viewer too. You know, 0:23:03.080 --> 0:23:06.720 human beings. I should say. When you sample a show 0:23:06.760 --> 0:23:10.760 in ten seconds, you don't say, Okay, that's Anna mackelvoy 0:23:10.800 --> 0:23:12.840 from Melbourne and she's twenty seven years old, and well 0:23:12.960 --> 0:23:14.199 you know all that kind of stuff. You don't take 0:23:14.200 --> 0:23:15.800 the whole backstory and you go, oh, there's a hot 0:23:15.840 --> 0:23:18.440 blondeing yeah, oh, there's the tall wrestler guy. 0:23:19.119 --> 0:23:21.560 And everyone has different flavors as well, so they might 0:23:21.600 --> 0:23:23.480 see one that stands out to them and they go, oh, 0:23:23.680 --> 0:23:25.920 I want to see you know that blonde haired one. 0:23:25.960 --> 0:23:26.840 There she looks fair. 0:23:26.960 --> 0:23:29.120 Yeah. And again with the edit is you can't bring 0:23:29.160 --> 0:23:31.879 everybody up in episode one. You know you've got to 0:23:33.000 --> 0:23:34.640 You've got to look at that day as a whole 0:23:34.680 --> 0:23:36.240 and look at you know who couples up with who 0:23:36.280 --> 0:23:38.960 and you've you've basically got to go, Okay, We'll save 0:23:39.760 --> 0:23:42.439 Matt a bit until tomorrow, you know, because he's you know, 0:23:42.440 --> 0:23:44.879 he tells that hilarious story in the morning, you know, 0:23:44.960 --> 0:23:47.480 so we will.

Fuck, 0:25:15.520 --> 0:25:19.480 because you know, you know, what is the fun going 0:25:19.600 --> 0:25:24.280 Welcome to Loveland. Here are some really well rounded individuals 0:25:25.119 --> 0:25:27.359 who have got no problems at all, you know what 0:25:27.359 --> 0:25:27.640 I mean? 0:25:29.160 --> 0:25:29.920 It's so true. 0:25:29.960 --> 0:25:32.000 Like, Okay, so when we went on Love Island, and 0:25:32.000 --> 0:25:34.840 I'm sure with every season that you do, you guys 0:25:34.920 --> 0:25:39.480 do like a pretty vigorous mental health assessment. Is there 0:25:39.520 --> 0:25:42.119 anything that you look for specifically that kind of like 0:25:42.400 --> 0:25:43.320 kicks people out? 0:25:43.640 --> 0:25:45.359 Yes, with your psyche assessment, that could be things that 0:25:45.440 --> 0:25:48.320 kick you out, definitely, because duty of care is absolute 0:25:48.440 --> 0:25:50.840 number one. And look, you know it is a really 0:25:50.920 --> 0:25:53.840 full on thing to not only be on television twenty 0:25:53.880 --> 0:25:56.960 four hours a day. Yeah, like you know, you're on camera. 0:25:57.320 --> 0:26:00.399 Everything you do, You're put in a situation where you 0:26:00.480 --> 0:26:03.840 are being chosen from you know, you could get rejected 0:26:03.880 --> 0:26:05.440 by a member of the opposite sex. You're putting a 0:26:05.440 --> 0:26:07.880 situation with a whole load of other people who, let's 0:26:07.920 --> 0:26:10.680 be honest with you, generally high achievers in life because 0:26:10.680 --> 0:26:12.760 they're so hot. You know, they've had to do much. 0:26:12.840 --> 0:26:18.960 You know, It's true, It's true. It is a very 0:26:19.000 --> 0:26:22.680 confronting thing, and you need to be very psychologically robust 0:26:22.720 --> 0:26:24.920 to do the Love Island villa. So is the things 0:26:24.920 --> 0:26:27.439 that can rule you out through the psycho evaluation one 0:26:27.520 --> 0:26:30.600 hundred percent. We don't cast with the psycho evaluation though. 0:26:30.760 --> 0:26:32.800 I think that you know, as you two would both know, 0:26:33.680 --> 0:26:35.960 you guys are pretty much already in before you did 0:26:35.960 --> 0:26:37.760 the syite test. The site test is what knocks you 0:26:38.000 --> 0:26:40.800 could knock you out, you know, and it's a really 0:26:40.840 --> 0:26:44.840 important part of the process because Love Island starts from 0:26:44.840 --> 0:26:49.600 the second iPhone you up and say you're in to eternity. 0:26:49.880 --> 0:26:51.640 Do you know what I mean? Like you two could 0:26:51.720 --> 0:26:54.119 still you know, get some PTSD or whatever from your 0:26:54.119 --> 0:26:55.760 loveld experience, and you know, you know, do you know 0:26:55.800 --> 0:26:59.080 what I mean? Like it's really for long and it 0:26:59.560 --> 0:27:02.960 goes on, you know forever, you will forever be a 0:27:03.080 --> 0:27:06.240 member of a really exclusive group of people that have 0:27:06.320 --> 0:27:09.840 been in the Love Island villa. And we have had 0:27:10.600 --> 0:27:13.280 no issues in Australia because of that. Again, because going 0:27:13.320 --> 0:27:15.439 back to the way I believe the show is fairly 0:27:15.560 --> 0:27:20.080 edited and the way that we treat our Landers, whether 0:27:20.080 --> 0:27:22.000 they're in the villa now, or they're in the or 0:27:22.000 --> 0:27:23.360 they're about to go in the villa, or whether they're 0:27:23.400 --> 0:27:25.879 in the villa three years ago. But more important than 0:27:25.880 --> 0:27:28.240 them all those things is that we won't put anyone 0:27:28.240 --> 0:27:30.760 in our villa that we would worry about, like, you 0:27:30.800 --> 0:27:32.399 have got to be tough enough to do this. And 0:27:32.440 --> 0:27:33.679 I say this to them all the time. You know, 0:27:34.400 --> 0:27:36.399 when you're in the villa, you're on TV all the time, 0:27:36.440 --> 0:27:38.399 and there's pressure to will always look good. There's pressure 0:27:38.440 --> 0:27:40.000 to be on the show more, and there's pressure to 0:27:40.000 --> 0:27:41.640 hook up with this guy and this girl, and there's 0:27:41.640 --> 0:27:44.320 pressure to kiss somebody, and there's pressure to not get 0:27:44.400 --> 0:27:47.800 dumped after the show. You know, you've got people going 0:27:48.520 --> 0:27:50.760 you're a fucking dickede or Love old. You know, I 0:27:50.800 --> 0:27:53.119 don't like your face, you know, it's like, well, you know, 0:27:53.200 --> 0:27:56.400 are you are you tough enough to deal with that? 0:27:56.720 --> 0:28:00.320 It takes a tough person, you know, to ignore, ignore 0:28:00.359 --> 0:28:03.360 the trolls, ignore all the bullshit and realize that, hey, 0:28:03.359 --> 0:28:06.239 it was actually a really great experience. It's actually a 0:28:06.280 --> 0:28:10.440 really great show, and nothing bad can happen here, right, 0:28:10.600 --> 0:28:12.679 what's the worst thing that can happen? You leave the 0:28:12.760 --> 0:28:15.359 villa without a partner, you go back and you've got 0:28:15.359 --> 0:28:18.040 a few hundred thousand more followers, and you go back 0:28:18.040 --> 0:28:18.920 to your life. 0:28:19.840 --> 0:28:26.040 Fine, Yeah, So what type of things rule people out there? 0:28:26.040 --> 0:28:27.240 And just out of curiosity? 0:28:27.280 --> 0:28:29.440 So like, let's just say I'm like at the very 0:28:29.560 --> 0:28:31.560 end of the road, I'm about to be in the villa. 0:28:31.720 --> 0:28:34.240 What's gonna kick me out? 0:28:35.000 --> 0:28:35.639 A boyfriend? 0:28:35.880 --> 0:28:36.240 Okay? 0:28:36.440 --> 0:28:41.720 Yeah, you want to get around. 0:28:43.040 --> 0:28:47.320 A police report that says that you stabbed a granny. 0:28:47.120 --> 0:28:49.760 Or something, you know, definitely definitely out with that one. 0:28:51.320 --> 0:28:53.800 Yeah. Look, there's more serious stuff that I don't think 0:28:53.800 --> 0:28:55.719 we should go into with the Cyde reports. But you know, 0:28:56.080 --> 0:29:01.320 it's pretty obvious that if you have got a long history, 0:29:01.400 --> 0:29:03.040 or not even a long history, you know, a history 0:29:03.080 --> 0:29:09.080 of mental health issues, then probably being on a television 0:29:09.120 --> 0:29:11.080 show you know the films twenty fur hours Day is 0:29:11.080 --> 0:29:13.720 not not the place. Have you have. 0:29:13.720 --> 0:29:16.000 You regretted putting any contestants into the villa? 0:29:17.200 --> 0:29:20.400 Look, I regret every every series. Every series, there's always 0:29:20.440 --> 0:29:22.360 a couple that you go, oh, probably could have done better. 0:29:22.360 --> 0:29:24.320 I'm not going to know names anything to ask me, 0:29:25.000 --> 0:29:28.160 but yeah, you're both. 0:29:30.360 --> 0:29:32.800 Does that come? Does that come? 0:29:33.000 --> 0:29:34.520 Or is it? But you get it wrong every time. 0:29:34.600 --> 0:29:37.680 I mean, okay, so I'm going to go right back, 0:29:37.840 --> 0:29:41.520 right back to Big Brother in two thousand and nine 0:29:41.560 --> 0:29:44.240 when I became a Big Brother and you know, that 0:29:44.520 --> 0:29:46.320 was the final the first time when I started doing 0:29:46.360 --> 0:29:48.640 casting tours and talking to people face to face, and 0:29:49.480 --> 0:29:51.240 you know, and you'd go into a network and go, right, 0:29:51.320 --> 0:29:55.719 this person is amazing because they're infectious. You know, they're funny. 0:29:55.800 --> 0:29:57.680 You know, they look you into eye and they talk. 0:29:57.920 --> 0:30:01.080 They've got this funny, cute little giggle. Know they you know, 0:30:01.080 --> 0:30:03.440 they've got an amazing backstory because you know they were 0:30:03.520 --> 0:30:05.520 born in an orphanage and you know, sorry, they were 0:30:05.520 --> 0:30:08.360 an orphan and all you know, you sell these people 0:30:08.560 --> 0:30:10.719 because you're convinced they're going to be great, and then 0:30:10.720 --> 0:30:13.920 they walk into the house and they do fuckle and 0:30:13.960 --> 0:30:17.520 you go shp okay. But then you really think about it, 0:30:17.880 --> 0:30:20.560 and you know you've met them maybe four maybe three 0:30:20.600 --> 0:30:24.440 times face to face. You know, you've looked at all 0:30:24.480 --> 0:30:26.560 their socials, you've talked to their friends. You know, Like 0:30:26.680 --> 0:30:29.360 we go hard on casting because it is everything, but 0:30:30.520 --> 0:30:33.960 you can't ever be certain. You can never ever ever 0:30:34.080 --> 0:30:37.760 be certain and say, hey, this person is going to 0:30:37.760 --> 0:30:39.800 be the best islander of all time. You know, I've 0:30:39.840 --> 0:30:42.600 got a lot of experience in this in this industry now, 0:30:42.840 --> 0:30:44.600 and I still get it wrong. Like you know, I've 0:30:44.640 --> 0:30:46.480 got a pretty good hit rate. Nine times out of ten, 0:30:46.520 --> 0:30:47.760 you go, this person is going to be great. Put 0:30:47.760 --> 0:30:49.040 them in. You're never going to regret the same. But 0:30:49.080 --> 0:30:51.960 I'm a celeb as well. You put them in, But 0:30:52.120 --> 0:30:54.280 every single time, what you're actually doing is God, I 0:30:54.320 --> 0:30:55.560 really hope this person is going to be as good 0:30:55.600 --> 0:30:57.200 I think they're going to be. You know, and most 0:30:57.240 --> 0:30:59.120 of the time we get it right. Sometimes we get 0:30:59.160 --> 0:30:59.400 it wrong. 0:30:59.400 --> 0:31:01.280 Do you remember any thing when you're casting either of 0:31:01.360 --> 0:31:04.720 us to get us? 0:31:04.800 --> 0:31:07.480 I remember we went back and forth with you, Ana 0:31:07.520 --> 0:31:09.280 as to whether they put you in from the start, 0:31:09.360 --> 0:31:11.960 whether to make you that first bomb, and we we 0:31:12.240 --> 0:31:16.160 were arming and ouring for so so so long because 0:31:16.160 --> 0:31:19.600 we like, we really felt, well, we really felt that 0:31:19.640 --> 0:31:21.480 you were genuinely in it for love, like you're right, 0:31:21.520 --> 0:31:25.840 we say.
