WEBVTT - What Really Goes Down On A MAFS Promo Shoot 

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.600
<v Speaker 1>This podcast was recorded and produced on gadigle Land.

0:00:02.759 --> 0:00:05.240
<v Speaker 2>We would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians and.

0:00:05.280 --> 0:00:08.559
<v Speaker 1>Pay our respect to Elder's past and present. Ladies and gentlemen,

0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Can I please have your attention?

0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:12.960
<v Speaker 2>This is my final Maths related interview?

0:00:13.039 --> 0:00:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Are they talking about me?

0:00:13.880 --> 0:00:18.360
<v Speaker 2>She's like, yeah, it was Australia's reactions.

0:00:17.440 --> 0:00:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Because a lot of drama and they never got it.

0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:26.720
<v Speaker 2>It just went nuts. Hi, guys, it's tany Alena and

0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:28.440
<v Speaker 2>this is not a normal episode. We're coming at you

0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:31.080
<v Speaker 2>because we'd have some things to discuss. Normal episode is

0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:32.199
<v Speaker 2>dropping on Thursday.

0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:35.080
<v Speaker 3>Hello, this is producer Hannah. As you said, we dropped

0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:37.839
<v Speaker 3>episodes on a Thursday, we're sticking at that. But you

0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:41.560
<v Speaker 3>guys have experienced Maths, You've lived it. And something happened

0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:44.120
<v Speaker 3>this week that I feel like as a viewer myself,

0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:46.519
<v Speaker 3>I was like, I need to ask the girls. So

0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:51.519
<v Speaker 3>we saw a Fina very upset because Adrian walked out

0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:55.040
<v Speaker 3>of a promo shoot. Yes, what the hell is this done?

0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:57.080
<v Speaker 3>Promo shoot? And why was she.

0:00:57.200 --> 0:00:59.720
<v Speaker 1>There without him? He was pissed off.

0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:03.320
<v Speaker 3>I'm assuming this is promo for the show, correct, but

0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:07.080
<v Speaker 3>I would think you would do it with your partner. Yes,

0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:11.319
<v Speaker 3>you would do it before the show starts, It's okay.

0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:14.320
<v Speaker 2>First yeah, break it down because first of all, you

0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:16.319
<v Speaker 2>can't do it before the show starts because no one

0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:19.680
<v Speaker 2>can have met yet. Right, So it's about it's literally

0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:21.600
<v Speaker 2>the week after the intruders come in that you do

0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:26.280
<v Speaker 2>a full day Channel nine press everything. It's literally from

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:30.080
<v Speaker 2>like the morning to the nighttime. Your your head shot, images,

0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:35.040
<v Speaker 2>your couple photos, random publicity shots, your like media.

0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Even the gifts on Instagram, all of that to do

0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:43.520
<v Speaker 1>all of the awkward dances and even the commercial that's

0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:48.320
<v Speaker 1>yes you shown yes to promote the show. I noticed

0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 1>there was one season where they didn't have like an

0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:54.840
<v Speaker 1>actual commercial. Sure was that your season?

0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:57.880
<v Speaker 2>No, we did. So here's here's the thing. Because we

0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:00.120
<v Speaker 2>obviously saw Adrian get upset that he wasn't in it.

0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:02.760
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't in the like the promo.

0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 2>So they had selected certain brides and grooms an hour

0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:08.560
<v Speaker 2>and was like stuper dramatic black and white and had

0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:11.480
<v Speaker 2>people turning back, like turning around as if they were

0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:15.120
<v Speaker 2>meeting marrying a stranger. And they selected like very like

0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:18.920
<v Speaker 2>a random mixed They also, I think they strategically.

0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Didn't choose couples exactly.

0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:21.680
<v Speaker 2>I think they try to have people that weren't together

0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:24.080
<v Speaker 2>to not make it confusing, but it's also blended in

0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:27.359
<v Speaker 2>with models, so it's like random people that aren't even

0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:28.560
<v Speaker 2>on the show.

0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:30.400
<v Speaker 3>So it's kind of like in Love Island where you

0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:32.880
<v Speaker 3>see the hot people yes, getting out of the pool,

0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:35.920
<v Speaker 3>and you're like, exactly, that's not the person. Because I remember,

0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:39.239
<v Speaker 3>as an avid watcher of maths, the promo that stands

0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:43.000
<v Speaker 3>out to me the most is Martha blindfold yes, and

0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:46.640
<v Speaker 3>she's leaning up to kiss. And so the people that

0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:51.440
<v Speaker 3>remember that season, Sam was with Lizzie, right, So Martha

0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:53.639
<v Speaker 3>and Sam weren't a couple together. Would they have been

0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:56.280
<v Speaker 3>in the same room shooting that pretending to kiss or

0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:59.440
<v Speaker 3>would they have done separate shots and they've photoshopped it together.

0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:02.359
<v Speaker 2>I reckon from that, I reckon they've shot that together

0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:06.080
<v Speaker 2>with the whole When you see the imagery of like

0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:09.120
<v Speaker 2>which is on nine now, of people sitting at a

0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:12.519
<v Speaker 2>table and that kind of promo stuff. They do different scenes.

0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:14.240
<v Speaker 2>So for example, I don't know if you had this,

0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:15.880
<v Speaker 2>but I had to do something with Harrison where he

0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:18.240
<v Speaker 2>was like had a glass of wine, like feeding me

0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:20.680
<v Speaker 2>a glass of wine. It was very random and it

0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:22.359
<v Speaker 2>was like Harris and then I think it was like

0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:25.200
<v Speaker 2>Homer whose was like random mix of people and then

0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:29.160
<v Speaker 2>Sandy was there with maybe Jesse and they just I

0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:31.280
<v Speaker 2>don't know, I don't know why if that goes the

0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:34.720
<v Speaker 2>storyline or then they can then edit people on together based.

0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:37.240
<v Speaker 1>On what you pose as. Is that what happened to you?

0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:37.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:41.240
<v Speaker 1>I think I was with Mitche Yeah, with Cody, Like

0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:42.440
<v Speaker 1>it was really read.

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:45.800
<v Speaker 3>Trying to accuse people because these promos are obviously going

0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:48.560
<v Speaker 3>out before the show starts. Eric, Yes, yes, so they're

0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:50.440
<v Speaker 3>wanting people to guess who's with her.

0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:52.080
<v Speaker 1>Correct even though it's always spoiled.

0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:55.240
<v Speaker 2>But even when you do that, the reaction ones when

0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:57.720
<v Speaker 2>the people are like angry or shocked. That's all shot

0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:01.040
<v Speaker 2>on your publicity day, So when it's like bombshell, they'll

0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:04.080
<v Speaker 2>use that image with the headline for that. So everyone

0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:06.240
<v Speaker 2>has to shoot that. Everyone has to shoot happy, sad,

0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:09.960
<v Speaker 2>excited like they have. Everyone has to shoot all these expressions,

0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:12.920
<v Speaker 2>did you realize? Yeah, and then they edit it in

0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:16.640
<v Speaker 2>when you have when it suits the storyline. So they

0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:18.960
<v Speaker 2>have all this content and this is a key thing

0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:22.000
<v Speaker 2>as well. You can always tell every year if people

0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:25.520
<v Speaker 2>are not staying staying on the show because they don't

0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:29.800
<v Speaker 2>have a professional image. So Tim Jake, if you look

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:33.400
<v Speaker 2>back at their promo images or they're like their key image,

0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:35.320
<v Speaker 2>it's literally taken from the wedding day and they've just

0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:39.560
<v Speaker 2>photoshopped on. If they cut past is giving, they couldn't

0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:40.159
<v Speaker 2>be asked to go to.

0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:41.360
<v Speaker 1>The promo day.

0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:44.040
<v Speaker 3>Interesting, So, yeah, they've already had some of that drama.

0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:47.680
<v Speaker 3>So some people have stormed out. Jules left. Yeah, so

0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:51.039
<v Speaker 3>they never made it to that promo stage of productions.

0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:52.560
<v Speaker 1>So you get photos.

0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:54.880
<v Speaker 2>So I had took a photo with my partner, But

0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:57.720
<v Speaker 2>some edit people together if they weren't happy, or they left,

0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:00.400
<v Speaker 2>or they weren't on talking terms. So some cup could

0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:02.440
<v Speaker 2>take it together and some would take it separately that

0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:04.960
<v Speaker 2>they just edit them so that looked like they're standing there.

0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:07.160
<v Speaker 3>I think I know the answer to this, but I'm

0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:11.279
<v Speaker 3>gonna ask anyway, do you think Adrian is justified in

0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:13.680
<v Speaker 3>being pissed off about not being included in the promo

0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:16.720
<v Speaker 3>and leaving the woman who he is being intimate with

0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:20.200
<v Speaker 3>and saying he wants to stay. But then that's the

0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:25.440
<v Speaker 3>thing that makes you want to leave what's your thoughts, babe.

0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:28.320
<v Speaker 1>On my season, there was a bit of drama around

0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:32.160
<v Speaker 1>the publicity. Yeah, Cody did get upset that he didn't

0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:35.520
<v Speaker 1>shut up, but I did. But then in the end,

0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:37.920
<v Speaker 1>because he made a big deal, they got him involved.

0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:42.480
<v Speaker 1>Right now, after my season, they stopped doing that visual

0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:45.320
<v Speaker 1>of like you know the mathay.

0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:46.680
<v Speaker 3>Sam, they get a model to do it.

0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:50.080
<v Speaker 1>They do models now, But up until then, Brent was

0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:52.200
<v Speaker 1>like to Tomorrow, who he was matched with at the time,

0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:53.960
<v Speaker 1>he was like, Oh, I bet you we're going to

0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:56.320
<v Speaker 1>get that. He was convinced that he was going to

0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:58.880
<v Speaker 1>be the model for it, and then obviously they weren't

0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:01.120
<v Speaker 1>doing it anymore. But he got so upset that he

0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:03.320
<v Speaker 1>wasn't picked to do that.

0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:06.520
<v Speaker 2>That's so interesting. Like I remember when I I was

0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:07.920
<v Speaker 2>kind of like, oh, that's a bit shit to be

0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:10.480
<v Speaker 2>left out, But I was like, okay, cool, Also go

0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:13.240
<v Speaker 2>home and go to sleep like it's been a long day. Yeah,

0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:14.560
<v Speaker 2>And so I think there was a little bit of

0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:16.560
<v Speaker 2>me that felt like I was left out, which I

0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:19.480
<v Speaker 2>didn't love that, But I don't know again, like like

0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:22.320
<v Speaker 2>Mfina said, it's not the priority of why you're there

0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.680
<v Speaker 2>to be in a stupid promo that no one watches.

0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:28.000
<v Speaker 3>Sure, it would be a really fun experience and part

0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:31.160
<v Speaker 3>of scene behind the hundreds. At the end of the day,

0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:34.400
<v Speaker 3>if you're there for quote unquote the right reasons, it's

0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:37.680
<v Speaker 3>not enough of a reason to leave the whole experiment. No,

0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:40.719
<v Speaker 3>I feel like when I listened to that conversation, it

0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:43.000
<v Speaker 3>felt like a lot of that conversation was cuts.

0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:43.640
<v Speaker 2>It was choppy.

0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:48.440
<v Speaker 1>It was very choppy. So I feel like, what nationality

0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:51.960
<v Speaker 1>or ethnicity is Adrian? I don't know, do we know?

0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:54.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure because I'm like, maybe he's saying, like

0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:55.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, it was I think he's Greek. I feel

0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:58.279
<v Speaker 1>like he's great. Yeah, I feel like only maybe the

0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:00.039
<v Speaker 1>Caucasians got picked.

0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:01.400
<v Speaker 2>Or more like, maybe there's something more.

0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:02.480
<v Speaker 1>But he was insane.

0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:03.960
<v Speaker 2>He was the only one left out, But then the

0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:05.479
<v Speaker 2>other girls.

0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:07.680
<v Speaker 3>He wasn't the only one. This is a thing. It

0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:10.040
<v Speaker 3>would be half and half, right, like half of the

0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:11.280
<v Speaker 3>cast is in the shoot half or not.

0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:15.520
<v Speaker 1>But the way that he just kept saying it's wrong, disrespectful.

0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:19.320
<v Speaker 1>What else happened? I yuah, I'm not trying to no, no, no,

0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:20.400
<v Speaker 1>But I feel like there's more.

0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:23.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I guess Also with the editing that happens where

0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:27.240
<v Speaker 3>sentences are spliced together. If a conversation is coming to

0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:29.640
<v Speaker 3>you through a phone and the phone is sitting there

0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:32.720
<v Speaker 3>on speaker, you don't know what the order is. You're

0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:35.040
<v Speaker 3>never seeing that come out of their mouths. The only

0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:36.680
<v Speaker 3>thing that we know for sure is that he hung

0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:38.800
<v Speaker 3>up on her because it hangs up and then you

0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:41.520
<v Speaker 3>hear the producer did he just hang up on you?

0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:44.080
<v Speaker 3>And she said yes, So we know he was obviously

0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:47.000
<v Speaker 3>angry enough to hang up, but we don't know the

0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:47.600
<v Speaker 3>full content.

0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:48.000
<v Speaker 2>Yes.

0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:52.080
<v Speaker 3>Another question I had is this the first time I'm

0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:54.080
<v Speaker 3>trying to cast my mind back that we've seen this

0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:58.840
<v Speaker 3>kind of out of show production element brought into a storyline. Yes,

0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:01.520
<v Speaker 3>because usually they're not showing that side of stuff. They

0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:04.360
<v Speaker 3>try and keep it really separate and really polished. They

0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:06.840
<v Speaker 3>would never be like we're doing promo. It's just like

0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:09.280
<v Speaker 3>these people are finding love, Like, what's that about?

0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:11.080
<v Speaker 2>I agreed, I don't know if this is the same

0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:13.600
<v Speaker 2>for you. You could never refer to being there as

0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:15.560
<v Speaker 2>being on the show. You had to say the experiment,

0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:19.440
<v Speaker 2>the experiment, so you were never allowed to refer to

0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:21.280
<v Speaker 2>pretend the cameras weren't there. Yeah, you could never refer

0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:24.160
<v Speaker 2>to it being a show and this like huge maps thing.

0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:26.840
<v Speaker 2>So it's so interesting seeing like even just like the

0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:29.560
<v Speaker 2>cuts of like the producers in the shots and like

0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:31.640
<v Speaker 2>the drama of like the cameras at the.

0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Bath that did happen for either of our seasons, because

0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:36.959
<v Speaker 1>we had so much drama happen with us. At the

0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:40.240
<v Speaker 1>promo day, even just with Cody and I, we had

0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:45.400
<v Speaker 1>the biggest bite at that were ever like you guys,

0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:49.360
<v Speaker 1>Because the other thing is when we've seen the recent

0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:52.080
<v Speaker 1>intruder weddings, Elliot said, this is not my first time

0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:52.920
<v Speaker 1>doing maths.

0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:58.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like he said, such a weird thing to see.

0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:00.320
<v Speaker 3>Anyway, I feel like we could go on forever. But

0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:03.480
<v Speaker 3>this is just a juicy little bit of exclusive content

0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:07.000
<v Speaker 3>for you guys. Our normal episode will be happening me

0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:11.160
<v Speaker 3>on Thursday. Stay tuned, really
