Speaker 1: This podcast was recorded and produced on gadigle Land.
Speaker 2: We would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians and.
Speaker 1: Pay our respect to Elder's past and present. Ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 1: Can I please have your attention?
Speaker 2: This is my final Maths related interview?
Speaker 1: Are they talking about me?
Speaker 2: She's like, yeah, it was Australia's reactions.
Speaker 1: Because a lot of drama and they never got it.
Speaker 2: It just went nuts. Hi, guys, it's tany Alena and
Speaker 2: this is not a normal episode. We're coming at you
Speaker 2: because we'd have some things to discuss. Normal episode is
Speaker 2: dropping on Thursday.
Speaker 3: Hello, this is producer Hannah. As you said, we dropped
Speaker 3: episodes on a Thursday, we're sticking at that. But you
Speaker 3: guys have experienced Maths, You've lived it. And something happened
Speaker 3: this week that I feel like as a viewer myself,
Speaker 3: I was like, I need to ask the girls. So
Speaker 3: we saw a Fina very upset because Adrian walked out
Speaker 3: of a promo shoot. Yes, what the hell is this done?
Speaker 3: Promo shoot? And why was she.
Speaker 1: There without him? He was pissed off.
Speaker 3: I'm assuming this is promo for the show, correct, but
Speaker 3: I would think you would do it with your partner. Yes,
Speaker 3: you would do it before the show starts, It's okay.
Speaker 2: First yeah, break it down because first of all, you
Speaker 2: can't do it before the show starts because no one
Speaker 2: can have met yet. Right, So it's about it's literally
Speaker 2: the week after the intruders come in that you do
Speaker 2: a full day Channel nine press everything. It's literally from
Speaker 2: like the morning to the nighttime. Your your head shot, images,
Speaker 2: your couple photos, random publicity shots, your like media.
Speaker 1: Even the gifts on Instagram, all of that to do
Speaker 1: all of the awkward dances and even the commercial that's
Speaker 1: yes you shown yes to promote the show. I noticed
Speaker 1: there was one season where they didn't have like an
Speaker 1: actual commercial. Sure was that your season?
Speaker 2: No, we did. So here's here's the thing. Because we
Speaker 2: obviously saw Adrian get upset that he wasn't in it.
Speaker 1: I wasn't in the like the promo.
Speaker 2: So they had selected certain brides and grooms an hour
Speaker 2: and was like stuper dramatic black and white and had
Speaker 2: people turning back, like turning around as if they were
Speaker 2: meeting marrying a stranger. And they selected like very like
Speaker 2: a random mixed They also, I think they strategically.
Speaker 1: Didn't choose couples exactly.
Speaker 2: I think they try to have people that weren't together
Speaker 2: to not make it confusing, but it's also blended in
Speaker 2: with models, so it's like random people that aren't even
Speaker 2: on the show.
Speaker 3: So it's kind of like in Love Island where you
Speaker 3: see the hot people yes, getting out of the pool,
Speaker 3: and you're like, exactly, that's not the person. Because I remember,
Speaker 3: as an avid watcher of maths, the promo that stands
Speaker 3: out to me the most is Martha blindfold yes, and
Speaker 3: she's leaning up to kiss. And so the people that
Speaker 3: remember that season, Sam was with Lizzie, right, So Martha
Speaker 3: and Sam weren't a couple together. Would they have been
Speaker 3: in the same room shooting that pretending to kiss or
Speaker 3: would they have done separate shots and they've photoshopped it together.
Speaker 2: I reckon from that, I reckon they've shot that together
Speaker 2: with the whole When you see the imagery of like
Speaker 2: which is on nine now, of people sitting at a
Speaker 2: table and that kind of promo stuff. They do different scenes.
Speaker 2: So for example, I don't know if you had this,
Speaker 2: but I had to do something with Harrison where he
Speaker 2: was like had a glass of wine, like feeding me
Speaker 2: a glass of wine. It was very random and it
Speaker 2: was like Harris and then I think it was like
Speaker 2: Homer whose was like random mix of people and then
Speaker 2: Sandy was there with maybe Jesse and they just I
Speaker 2: don't know, I don't know why if that goes the
Speaker 2: storyline or then they can then edit people on together based.
Speaker 1: On what you pose as. Is that what happened to you?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think I was with Mitche Yeah, with Cody, Like
Speaker 1: it was really read.
Speaker 3: Trying to accuse people because these promos are obviously going
Speaker 3: out before the show starts. Eric, Yes, yes, so they're
Speaker 3: wanting people to guess who's with her.
Speaker 1: Correct even though it's always spoiled.
Speaker 2: But even when you do that, the reaction ones when
Speaker 2: the people are like angry or shocked. That's all shot
Speaker 2: on your publicity day, So when it's like bombshell, they'll
Speaker 2: use that image with the headline for that. So everyone
Speaker 2: has to shoot that. Everyone has to shoot happy, sad,
Speaker 2: excited like they have. Everyone has to shoot all these expressions,
Speaker 2: did you realize? Yeah, and then they edit it in
Speaker 2: when you have when it suits the storyline. So they
Speaker 2: have all this content and this is a key thing
Speaker 2: as well. You can always tell every year if people
Speaker 2: are not staying staying on the show because they don't
Speaker 2: have a professional image. So Tim Jake, if you look
Speaker 2: back at their promo images or they're like their key image,
Speaker 2: it's literally taken from the wedding day and they've just
Speaker 2: photoshopped on. If they cut past is giving, they couldn't
Speaker 2: be asked to go to.
Speaker 1: The promo day.
Speaker 3: Interesting, So, yeah, they've already had some of that drama.
Speaker 3: So some people have stormed out. Jules left. Yeah, so
Speaker 3: they never made it to that promo stage of productions.
Speaker 1: So you get photos.
Speaker 2: So I had took a photo with my partner, But
Speaker 2: some edit people together if they weren't happy, or they left,
Speaker 2: or they weren't on talking terms. So some cup could
Speaker 2: take it together and some would take it separately that
Speaker 2: they just edit them so that looked like they're standing there.
Speaker 3: I think I know the answer to this, but I'm
Speaker 3: gonna ask anyway, do you think Adrian is justified in
Speaker 3: being pissed off about not being included in the promo
Speaker 3: and leaving the woman who he is being intimate with
Speaker 3: and saying he wants to stay. But then that's the
Speaker 3: thing that makes you want to leave what's your thoughts, babe.
Speaker 1: On my season, there was a bit of drama around
Speaker 1: the publicity. Yeah, Cody did get upset that he didn't
Speaker 1: shut up, but I did. But then in the end,
Speaker 1: because he made a big deal, they got him involved.
Speaker 1: Right now, after my season, they stopped doing that visual
Speaker 1: of like you know the mathay.
Speaker 3: Sam, they get a model to do it.
Speaker 1: They do models now, But up until then, Brent was
Speaker 1: like to Tomorrow, who he was matched with at the time,
Speaker 1: he was like, Oh, I bet you we're going to
Speaker 1: get that. He was convinced that he was going to
Speaker 1: be the model for it, and then obviously they weren't
Speaker 1: doing it anymore. But he got so upset that he
Speaker 1: wasn't picked to do that.
Speaker 2: That's so interesting. Like I remember when I I was
Speaker 2: kind of like, oh, that's a bit shit to be
Speaker 2: left out, But I was like, okay, cool, Also go
Speaker 2: home and go to sleep like it's been a long day. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And so I think there was a little bit of
Speaker 2: me that felt like I was left out, which I
Speaker 2: didn't love that, But I don't know again, like like
Speaker 2: Mfina said, it's not the priority of why you're there
Speaker 2: to be in a stupid promo that no one watches.
Speaker 3: Sure, it would be a really fun experience and part
Speaker 3: of scene behind the hundreds. At the end of the day,
Speaker 3: if you're there for quote unquote the right reasons, it's
Speaker 3: not enough of a reason to leave the whole experiment. No,
Speaker 3: I feel like when I listened to that conversation, it
Speaker 3: felt like a lot of that conversation was cuts.
Speaker 2: It was choppy.
Speaker 1: It was very choppy. So I feel like, what nationality
Speaker 1: or ethnicity is Adrian? I don't know, do we know?
Speaker 1: I'm not sure because I'm like, maybe he's saying, like
Speaker 1: you know, it was I think he's Greek. I feel
Speaker 1: like he's great. Yeah, I feel like only maybe the
Speaker 1: Caucasians got picked.
Speaker 2: Or more like, maybe there's something more.
Speaker 1: But he was insane.
Speaker 2: He was the only one left out, But then the
Speaker 2: other girls.
Speaker 3: He wasn't the only one. This is a thing. It
Speaker 3: would be half and half, right, like half of the
Speaker 3: cast is in the shoot half or not.
Speaker 1: But the way that he just kept saying it's wrong, disrespectful.
Speaker 1: What else happened? I yuah, I'm not trying to no, no, no,
Speaker 1: But I feel like there's more.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess Also with the editing that happens where
Speaker 3: sentences are spliced together. If a conversation is coming to
Speaker 3: you through a phone and the phone is sitting there
Speaker 3: on speaker, you don't know what the order is. You're
Speaker 3: never seeing that come out of their mouths. The only
Speaker 3: thing that we know for sure is that he hung
Speaker 3: up on her because it hangs up and then you
Speaker 3: hear the producer did he just hang up on you?
Speaker 3: And she said yes, So we know he was obviously
Speaker 3: angry enough to hang up, but we don't know the
Speaker 3: full content.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 3: Another question I had is this the first time I'm
Speaker 3: trying to cast my mind back that we've seen this
Speaker 3: kind of out of show production element brought into a storyline. Yes,
Speaker 3: because usually they're not showing that side of stuff. They
Speaker 3: try and keep it really separate and really polished. They
Speaker 3: would never be like we're doing promo. It's just like
Speaker 3: these people are finding love, Like, what's that about?
Speaker 2: I agreed, I don't know if this is the same
Speaker 2: for you. You could never refer to being there as
Speaker 2: being on the show. You had to say the experiment,
Speaker 2: the experiment, so you were never allowed to refer to
Speaker 2: pretend the cameras weren't there. Yeah, you could never refer
Speaker 2: to it being a show and this like huge maps thing.
Speaker 2: So it's so interesting seeing like even just like the
Speaker 2: cuts of like the producers in the shots and like
Speaker 2: the drama of like the cameras at the.
Speaker 1: Bath that did happen for either of our seasons, because
Speaker 1: we had so much drama happen with us. At the
Speaker 1: promo day, even just with Cody and I, we had
Speaker 1: the biggest bite at that were ever like you guys,
Speaker 1: Because the other thing is when we've seen the recent
Speaker 1: intruder weddings, Elliot said, this is not my first time
Speaker 1: doing maths.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like he said, such a weird thing to see.
Speaker 3: Anyway, I feel like we could go on forever. But
Speaker 3: this is just a juicy little bit of exclusive content
Speaker 3: for you guys. Our normal episode will be happening me
Speaker 3: on Thursday. Stay tuned, really
