Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to the Math twenty podcast. And today, guys,
Speaker 1: I'm going to be talking about the damage control PR
Speaker 1: strategies that we're now seeing play out in real time,
Speaker 1: and I've already touched on how Gia is trying to
Speaker 1: shift her public narrative by bringing her daughter into the conversation, which,
Speaker 1: if you're not across, listen to the episode I did
Speaker 1: earlier this week titled The boss Babes have Turned on
Speaker 1: each Other. But in this podcast, I'm going to be
Speaker 1: speaking mostly about Alyssa. Up until now, Alyssa's been presented
Speaker 1: to us mostly as an angel, like the lovely girl
Speaker 1: just on the show for love who's been up against
Speaker 1: all of the mean girls who have been trying to
Speaker 1: tear her down, and the public of Bacta and her
Speaker 1: edit until this week was so glowing that, as far
Speaker 1: as I'm told, she started to believe this version of
Speaker 1: her time on the show, and although she knew that
Speaker 1: there may be a little bit of drama towards the end, now,
Speaker 1: ultimately and again I'm told that she thought she would
Speaker 1: maintain her halo as one of the show's goodies and
Speaker 1: come out as someone loved by most viewers. Yet now
Speaker 1: as things have shifted as fast as they have, it's
Speaker 1: like she's had the carpet pulled from beneath her feet
Speaker 1: and she's spiraling thinking, shit, how much worse can this get?
Speaker 1: So yesterday, as Alyssa spoke to Triple M and did
Speaker 1: a live radio interview, I figured out her entire play
Speaker 1: for the next few weeks within seconds, or I at
Speaker 1: least came up with a theory which I fully back.
Speaker 1: And remember, I've been in this industry for what ten
Speaker 1: years now, especially working with reality stars, not just from maths,
Speaker 1: but you know, as far back as my days in
Speaker 1: the UK with the Love Island UK cast and the
Speaker 1: Joddy Shorecast, and yeah, I kind of just see through
Speaker 1: most things now to be honest. Then, yeah, let's go
Speaker 1: back to Alyssa on the radio yesterday. Take a list
Speaker 1: into this.
Speaker 2: There was an issue that happened between us and that
Speaker 2: definitely broke my trust very early on in the experiment,
Speaker 2: and it was something that I never really got over.
Speaker 1: You dropped a bomb there trust issues. So was it
Speaker 1: David texting another girl or what was the trust issue
Speaker 1: that was broken?
Speaker 2: H Look, he lied about something.
Speaker 1: That's Alyssa insinuating that the real reason things didn't work
Speaker 1: out with David and the real reason she's acting as
Speaker 1: she is now like and saying she's only seventy percent
Speaker 1: in the marriage and flirting with the other guy was
Speaker 1: because of something that David did which we never got
Speaker 1: to see. And as the radio host in the interview
Speaker 1: then pushed to find out, well what did he do, Alissa.
Speaker 2: Said this, Look, he lied about something to me.
Speaker 1: What was it? His assets?
Speaker 2: I can't I can't, shay, I can't say. Look, I
Speaker 2: will tell my story one day.
Speaker 1: Is it something that we see on spread?
Speaker 2: You're not going to see on screen because they never
Speaker 2: put it into the edit, unfortunately. But we did talk
Speaker 2: about it, but it just never made it to air.
Speaker 1: And despite alyssa center in that whole interview around an
Speaker 1: incident that she didn't actually want to reveal, she did
Speaker 1: tease at the end that she may one day share
Speaker 1: it with people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so this is something maybe I don't know. We'll
Speaker 2: just have to wait and see. If I feel like
Speaker 2: I want to tell my story one day, I might.
Speaker 2: And yeah, it will make a lot more sense to
Speaker 2: the viewers. As to the build up and as to
Speaker 2: the spiraling and whatnot. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Also yesterday, as well as doing that radio interview with
Speaker 1: Triple M, Alyssa spoke to The Daily Mail and she
Speaker 1: basically said the same thing, that her relationship with David
Speaker 1: fell apart because of something he did. But again she
Speaker 1: didn't say what. And here's the exact quote. We had
Speaker 1: an early incident maybe four weeks into the experiment that
Speaker 1: really rocked us. Trust was broken and looking back now,
Speaker 1: I never really healed, I never fully let go of
Speaker 1: that hurt. I guess more cracks then started to show
Speaker 1: because of that issue. Alyssa now saying all of this
Speaker 1: on record in those two interviews now makes me think
Speaker 1: that she was the source behind these two stories a
Speaker 1: week or so ago, where firstly an insider said this
Speaker 1: to the Daily Mail, viewers are only seeing part of
Speaker 1: the story. The Daily Mail can reveal that a turning
Speaker 1: point in the couple's relationship, one that would provide insight
Speaker 1: into their current struggles, was left on the cutting room floor.
Speaker 1: This incident, I'm told, okay, the insider is told, involved
Speaker 1: an awkward mishap during intimacy. Again, though that article didn't
Speaker 1: say what the incident was. The Same day as the article,
Speaker 1: another one popped up on New Idea, quoting another insider
Speaker 1: who said this, Alyssa's incredibly anxious about what viewers might
Speaker 1: think of her. She's scared that the narrative will make
Speaker 1: her look paranoid or over emotional when there was actually
Speaker 1: a lot more going on. She just helps viewers understand
Speaker 1: that what they're seeing isn't the full picture. Now, my
Speaker 1: current theory is this those two stories that either came
Speaker 1: from Alyssa or someone she knows, and they were given
Speaker 1: to Daily Mail a New Idea as a way of
Speaker 1: potentially planting this seed that yes, drama's coming that will
Speaker 1: show a Lissa negatively. But everyone please have in the
Speaker 1: back of your mind that, hey, there's actually more to
Speaker 1: the situation than you're not going to see on the Telly.
Speaker 1: And now that the negative scenes of Alyssa are airing
Speaker 1: and public opinion is quickly changing, Alyssa going on record
Speaker 1: yesterday again teasing this big unaired incident and moment now
Speaker 1: feels like her building on those first stories again saying
Speaker 1: to anyone reading, please know there's a lot more to
Speaker 1: what you're watching, but I'm not going to tell you
Speaker 1: what and what I believe will now happen next is
Speaker 1: over the next two weeks, as the show slowly comes
Speaker 1: to an end, and presumably Alyssa is going to be
Speaker 1: portrayed even worse and attract more backlash from viewers. I
Speaker 1: suspect that we'll see more interviews with her popping up,
Speaker 1: where she'll keep teasing this mystery, real reason and incident
Speaker 1: we didn't get to see, and she'll perhaps give a
Speaker 1: little bit more where she might say how it made
Speaker 1: her feel, how it impacted her for the rest of filming,
Speaker 1: but again without saying what it was. And then and
Speaker 1: only when the show is finished airing on TV and
Speaker 1: these no more episodes to come out that will keep
Speaker 1: portraying a listen negatively. I believe that's when she will
Speaker 1: then tell us the full story, and she'll do that,
Speaker 1: presumably in a video on her own social media, where
Speaker 1: she can control the edit and the narrative and what
Speaker 1: she says, and she can do different takes if it
Speaker 1: doesn't really convey the emotions she wants it to. And yeah,
Speaker 1: I think she'll wait and do it like that, because,
Speaker 1: for example, if she said in those interviews yesterday what
Speaker 1: the incident was, and then in the next episode there's
Speaker 1: a big thing that makes her look more negative. Whatever
Speaker 1: that incident is, and this big thing she's teasing it
Speaker 1: would just be lost because the conversation will shift to
Speaker 1: the latest episode, and her big play would then have
Speaker 1: just been wasted because timing is everything in the PR world.
Speaker 1: Whereas if she waits until the show, he's done again
Speaker 1: and these no more bombshells on screen to distract from
Speaker 1: whatever this card she's currently holding so close to her
Speaker 1: chest is. Only then will shall revealed the big thing
Speaker 1: almost has her own season finale to try and bring
Speaker 1: the narrative back in her favor by presumably prompting sympathy
Speaker 1: as she shares whatever this finger is after again. I
Speaker 1: suspect the TV finale will leave most viewers going away
Speaker 1: from this season being like, Nah, we don't like her,
Speaker 1: and do I think this is bad of Alissa? Nah.
Speaker 1: If she plays it this way, it's actually pretty clever
Speaker 1: and the smartest way she could do it, and it
Speaker 1: would also ensure that she kind of has the last say.
Speaker 1: She could literally second after the final episode wraps on TV,
Speaker 1: she could then drop this bombshell whatever it is, across
Speaker 1: all socials, so then the season ends again. With her
Speaker 1: having that final word and giving this thing that would
Speaker 1: presumably turn things around for her. And it's worth noting
Speaker 1: I've got no idea what this incident is. No one
Speaker 1: has spoke to seems to know what the incident is,
Speaker 1: and hey, maybe it is something serious enough that will
Speaker 1: turn things around for her. And if she did endure
Speaker 1: something as bad as she is eluding, then I suppose
Speaker 1: the season would dead end when she reveals that, raising
Speaker 1: all these questions about hey, why did production allow so
Speaker 1: why did they cut such an integral storyline. But if
Speaker 1: it turns out to be nothing or a beat up,
Speaker 1: as we say in the media, then if anything, after
Speaker 1: all these weeks of teasing something that is nothing, it's
Speaker 1: only going to turn even more people off her. And also,
Speaker 1: on a last note, just on this subject of like
Speaker 1: pr plays, here's what I predict we'll see Gia say
Speaker 1: and doing, maybe like a month's time now, if she
Speaker 1: does go through with a current plan of launching an
Speaker 1: only fans post show, which for the record, I'm not against.
Speaker 1: I know many people in the industry and all power
Speaker 1: to them, But if Gia does go down that path
Speaker 1: and then it does attract negativity, which it will do,
Speaker 1: especially after her comments shaming Scott Sex on the show
Speaker 1: for having an Only Fans. I guarantee you that we
Speaker 1: were then see stories, whether they're from Gia directly or
Speaker 1: sources talking about how much money she's made in her
Speaker 1: first day or her first week or her first month
Speaker 1: on Only Fans, which I I've seen and I'm sure
Speaker 1: you guys have time and time again, whenever anyone, especially
Speaker 1: someone controversial, joins OnlyFans, they will always boast about their
Speaker 1: earnings as a way to kind of be like, hey,
Speaker 1: you can say this and that about me, you can
Speaker 1: try and shame you, but hey, I've got the last
Speaker 1: laugh because look at me. I've just made twenty grand
Speaker 1: today or something like that. And time will tell if
Speaker 1: that actually happens, though, but I suspect it will, just
Speaker 1: like I suspect the alict of stuff will play out
Speaker 1: exactly as I speculate. Or actually, here's a final four him.
Speaker 1: Maybe I've kind of shot myself in the foot a
Speaker 1: bit by predicting all of this publicly. And now, Alyssa
Speaker 1: and you are going to listen to this and purposely
Speaker 1: like restrategize and not do any of that, just to
Speaker 1: prove me wrong, which if they do that, you know,
Speaker 1: fair play because I'm going to look stupid. But again
Speaker 1: time will tell. Say yah
