Speaker 2: Hello Anna, what's the full name? Introduction?
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I'm looking at matt right now, and
Speaker 1: he's wearing a custom made Love Island jacket that has
Speaker 1: a huge bold letter saying Matthew Zakowski and there's an
Speaker 1: even bigger photo of his face on the back of it.
Speaker 1: And I mean, I don't know who on earth would
Speaker 1: get this made. Actually I do. The only person I
Speaker 1: know who would get a jacket like this, maid is
Speaker 1: our good friend, Matthew Zakowski.
Speaker 2: Well, I thought we were talking about Love Island today,
Speaker 2: so I was like, I'm going to dress up for
Speaker 2: the occasion and I'm going to chuck on my Love
Speaker 2: Island custom made jacket.
Speaker 1: When did you get this made?
Speaker 2: A couple of months ago? Now, I got one for
Speaker 2: myself and Charlie Matthew's maid.
Speaker 1: Is this like a legacy jacket for your future grandchildren
Speaker 1: so that they can be proud of their dear old
Speaker 1: grandfather who is Loveland.
Speaker 2: I'll gift it to him on their eighteenth birthday with
Speaker 2: a package of all my best highlights.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, oh god.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm excited to talk about Love on But before
Speaker 2: we jump into that, Anna, you've gone official with Michael.
Speaker 2: I can call him Michael now, not your man.
Speaker 1: We're allowed to call him by name. Matt was actually
Speaker 1: banned from calling him by name, and so many times
Speaker 1: when we have been recording our podcast, I've been like, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: don't say the name.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't want to get out too early. But yeah,
Speaker 2: so how is Michael going. You've dropped it on Instagram
Speaker 2: to everyone the exciting news.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're instir official. You know that's a really big
Speaker 1: deal these days, Like when you go insur official, it's
Speaker 1: like a milestone in a relationship.
Speaker 2: Don't you think it's announcing it to the world. Really,
Speaker 2: once it's on the internet, it never comes down.
Speaker 1: Oh God, don't just stress me out like that.
Speaker 2: It's out there for everyone now it is.
Speaker 1: But I'm happy, Like I think it's been a long
Speaker 1: time coming. We've been seeing each other for a while now,
Speaker 1: so it was the right time for us, and I've
Speaker 1: been excited to share. And we're always together, as you know.
Speaker 1: So there's so many times when I'm with him and
Speaker 1: I want to do an instant story or something and
Speaker 1: I can't because I'm with him. So now now I'm free.
Speaker 2: Beneficial to be in your close friends.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did have a close friends story when Michael
Speaker 1: did make an appearance. But now that's kind of free.
Speaker 2: Reign, so all positive feedback, so that's good as well. Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, I think everyone seems to be really happy for me,
Speaker 1: so I'm happy.
Speaker 2: I'm happy for you as well. Yeah, but I've got
Speaker 2: a question actually, which is on topic. Yeah, has Michael
Speaker 2: watched you on Love Island? He hasn't, not even before
Speaker 2: or while you guys are dating. You haven't showed him anything.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean you've sent me clear. I reckon Matt
Speaker 1: has watched our season of Love Island like at least
Speaker 1: thirty times at a minimum. You constantly send me clip
Speaker 1: and then you'll like, show Michael this, and then I'm like, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: but you No, he hasn't watched the show. He's thirty
Speaker 1: three and not really into reality TV. So yeah, it
Speaker 1: was perfect like when we met.
Speaker 2: In my defense, first, I only send those clips because
Speaker 2: when I'm sitting down and on board, I'll go on
Speaker 2: YouTube and the stuff that come up. I love iland clips.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh I remember this, and I'll click on it.
Speaker 2: I'll watch it and I'll be like, oh Anna will
Speaker 2: appreciate this.
Speaker 1: No, that's because you watch these clips so many times
Speaker 1: they become your recommended videos because the YouTube algorithm knows
Speaker 1: that you're going to click back on them. So don't
Speaker 1: make out like you haven't been searching for this.
Speaker 2: This is true.
Speaker 1: It is so let me ask you a question. Michaels
Speaker 1: seen a few clips only because you have sent them
Speaker 1: through and then I've ended up showing him one or
Speaker 1: two things. But I know for a fact that with
Speaker 1: the girls that you day you love showing a Love
Speaker 1: Island clip, and I know the Magical Date girl is
Speaker 1: still very much on the picture, which we're really very
Speaker 1: excited about. Have you shown her any Love Island clears
Speaker 1: or have you even probably watched the whole series with her?
Speaker 2: Okay, so she didn't watch the show. She's not a
Speaker 2: fan of reality TV, so she didn't know anything about
Speaker 2: the show. But her sister and best friend after I
Speaker 2: met them, went back to watch the show.
Speaker 1: And they sent her see some homework.
Speaker 2: And they sent some snaps while we were laying in
Speaker 2: bed one time of them watching it, and I was like, well, look,
Speaker 2: you don't want to be in the dark. You want
Speaker 2: to know what they're seeing, so let's chuck it on
Speaker 2: if you aren't, And then so we put it on
Speaker 2: and I was like, look, we're not just going to
Speaker 2: watch it from the start, like I've seen it and
Speaker 2: lived it. It's boring. Like, let's get to some juicy bits.
Speaker 2: And I was like, hang on, I'm going to show
Speaker 2: you when I had a baby, and I'm going to
Speaker 2: show you how good of her father I will really be.
Speaker 1: Okay, I see what you're doing.
Speaker 2: So I used it as a tactical thing to show it,
Speaker 2: and she said, yeah, you would make a good baby daddy.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So for anyone who didn't watch Love Island, there
Speaker 1: was a day where we were given fake children.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: And so I guess what you're saying is you were
Speaker 1: showing her how good of a future father you'll be.
Speaker 1: That's big, Matt. Your brain is going down that path
Speaker 1: of thinking that she's your future baby.
Speaker 2: Maka yet guilty. I've been called out there. I don't
Speaker 2: even know what to say.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Well, on that note, let's get into our
Speaker 1: Love Island episode. Okay, Matt, So, going on a show
Speaker 1: like Love Island is a really unique experience. What made
Speaker 1: you sign up for the show?
Speaker 2: So I got messaged by a producer on Instagram asking
Speaker 2: me if I'd like to audition and try it for
Speaker 2: the show. They said, obviously, this doesn't mean you're going on.
Speaker 2: You're just going to do the same things, but we've
Speaker 2: come across you and we think you'd be right for
Speaker 2: the show. Cool. So I was at the time broken
Speaker 2: up with my ex real recently, and I was like,
Speaker 2: I've got nothing to lose. Like I spoke to my
Speaker 2: family about it. I was like, it's a once in
Speaker 2: a lifetime opportunity. Like you said, if what's the worst
Speaker 2: thing that happens, you could go on a holiday in
Speaker 2: Fiji and sit by a pool, which literally, did I know,
Speaker 2: is so far.
Speaker 1: From, so far from the truth.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so far from a relaxing holiday sing by a pool.
Speaker 2: But at the time, I was like, Yeah, what's the
Speaker 2: big deal. I get to meet some hot people, you know,
Speaker 2: like be a bit of fun.
Speaker 1: So revel in the single life.
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly. So I was like, I'll give it a go,
Speaker 2: like and how many people get to do it? And
Speaker 2: I can tell my grandchildren like that I did this,
Speaker 2: you know. I mean, it's it's a weird experience. Shut up, Puffy,
Speaker 2: no one cares. How about yourself? Why did you go on?
Speaker 2: Why did you so?
Speaker 1: I'm originally from the UK, and so every year I
Speaker 1: would go back to visit my family in the UK
Speaker 1: and I was staying with my cousin and I was
Speaker 1: at her house and she was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: we have to get home because I have to see
Speaker 1: Love is tonight. And I was like, what is this show?
Speaker 1: Like She's obsessed with it, like I've never heard of
Speaker 1: it before. And I watched an episode with my cousin Sarah,
Speaker 1: and I was like, this is amazing, Like I never
Speaker 1: seen a show like it. It just seems like a
Speaker 1: different world the way like it's created. It just looks
Speaker 1: like this magical lamb all of these amazing people. And
Speaker 1: from then on, when I came back to Australia, I
Speaker 1: binge watched the UK seasons and loved it. And this
Speaker 1: sounds really bad, but I was watching Love Island season
Speaker 1: one with my ex boyfriend yep, and this sounds awful.
Speaker 1: I actually feel bad about this considering anyway, let me
Speaker 1: just tell the story the other turn of events. I
Speaker 1: said to him, if I ever become single again, I'm
Speaker 1: going to go on Love Island. Little did I know
Speaker 1: that like a year and a half later, I would
Speaker 1: actually be going on the next season of Love Island.
Speaker 1: Oh you manifested it then, Yeah, I definitely did manifest it.
Speaker 1: Had you ever seen the show before?
Speaker 2: I had briefly watched season one of Australia when my
Speaker 2: good mate Justin was on, so i'd watch it to
Speaker 2: support just like so i'd watch bits of it, but
Speaker 2: I'm not going to I didn't get invested in imagination.
Speaker 2: I just had it on in the background, like when
Speaker 2: I was cooking dinner or doing that, like, and watch
Speaker 2: bits when he was on. So I didn't really get
Speaker 2: what it was about.
Speaker 1: You're not a reality TV person, Like, it's not something
Speaker 1: you watch. You're a movie buff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a massive movie buff. So I don't watch reality
Speaker 2: TV unless someone I know is on it. So I
Speaker 2: was watching it for him.
Speaker 1: Cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I didn't know what I was getting myself
Speaker 2: into when I went onto the show. You obviously did. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you did watched it?
Speaker 1: Yeah all right.
Speaker 2: So and when you got onto the show, was there
Speaker 2: any blokes that were like the front runners and the
Speaker 2: ones that you were going for, because obviously you were
Speaker 2: a bomb on what day three or day three? Did
Speaker 2: you know who was already in there? Had they? So
Speaker 2: you are?
Speaker 1: As I was driving to the airport, I think, because
Speaker 1: as you know, when you go on Love Island, you
Speaker 1: have to go into lockdown for a about a week
Speaker 1: or two before you go in, depending if you're the
Speaker 1: starting lineup or if you're a bomb coming in. Throughout
Speaker 1: the series, I was in there for eight days, yeah,
Speaker 1: and I was in there for four in lockdown. But
Speaker 1: as I was on my way to the airport, they
Speaker 1: released the ten starting lineup people, one of them being you.
Speaker 1: So I was obviously like, I know Mat from our
Speaker 1: modeling days, and then definitely I think a front runner
Speaker 1: from me would have been Owen because as you know,
Speaker 1: I like the long hair, tall type of look. So
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess going in I was kind of like, O,
Speaker 1: while I've got Matt. Or aside from.
Speaker 2: When you got in there, my situation was it was very.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think as soon as I got in there,
Speaker 1: I realized that you had been claimed very hard by Vanessa,
Speaker 1: and I was very put off that situation. I was like,
Speaker 1: too much drama, staying well out of it. I'm already
Speaker 1: on a reality TV show that's already a lot for
Speaker 1: me to handle, Like, I don't want to put myself
Speaker 1: into a hectic situation. But in saying that, were you
Speaker 1: happy to be paired with Vanessa? Would you say at
Speaker 1: the start?
Speaker 2: I was. I mean when I first walked out, I'm
Speaker 2: not gonna lie. I actually was looking at Jesse a
Speaker 2: fair bit. Yeah, but I remember Maurice, motherfucking Maurice had
Speaker 2: his arm around her and like was like grasping at
Speaker 2: her and was like staring a hole through me. And
Speaker 2: I was like, I was like, look, I don't know
Speaker 2: how much these guys have been chatting or what's been
Speaker 2: going on, but they look pretty happy. So I was like,
Speaker 2: I'm not going to break that up. And obviously Vanessa
Speaker 2: looks wise is my type. So I was like, okay,
Speaker 2: I'll go with Vanessa. But I had a feeling you
Speaker 2: were going to be on the show, did you? So
Speaker 2: I've tried to find the photo. I was talking to
Speaker 2: a girl at the time, like obviously like hanging out.
Speaker 2: We weren't like dating or anything, just like hanging out.
Speaker 2: And you put up a story and it was like
Speaker 2: you I can't remember what you said, but I remember
Speaker 2: you were in a bathroom and I just got back
Speaker 2: from shooting in Sydney like a day before, and I
Speaker 2: was like, so you.
Speaker 1: Were shooting the promos for Love Island in Sydney. In Sydney,
Speaker 1: we all had to go up to Sydney to shoot promo.
Speaker 2: Yeah, to shoot promos. Yeah. So I saw your story
Speaker 2: and you're in a bathroom like it was a boomerang.
Speaker 2: I can't even remember what it was. And then there
Speaker 2: was two toilet roll things and I was actually the
Speaker 2: girl was like, she's in a hotel room. She's going
Speaker 2: on Love Island, and she's like, how do you know that?
Speaker 2: And I'm like, I have a feeling in my gut.
Speaker 2: I was like, I know she's going to be on there.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: And I was like I just know it. I just
Speaker 2: know the way, Like I just have a feeling, like
Speaker 2: that's a hotel room, she's up in Sydney shooting her promos.
Speaker 2: I'm like, she's going to be on.
Speaker 1: Your gut was right, Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2: But I thought you were going to be in the
Speaker 2: original line up. So when I walked out, you weren't there,
Speaker 2: so I probably I probably would have picked.
Speaker 1: You a bit disappointed.
Speaker 2: A little bit. I was. I remember driving. I was like, right, well,
Speaker 2: I'm clearly going to pick Anna if what I was
Speaker 2: thinking was true. But you weren't there.
Speaker 1: I wasn't there, So, yeah, why didn't you message me
Speaker 1: if you thought I was going to be on there? Like,
Speaker 1: why didn't you reach out, Hey, you're going to be
Speaker 1: on Love Island?
Speaker 2: Because I was seeing you that we give our instagrams
Speaker 2: to them, and I didn't know what your reaction would
Speaker 2: have been. You might have been like, you know what.
Speaker 1: I Love Island was very intense and strict, Like the
Speaker 1: production team. They're so intense with you about leaking the
Speaker 1: fact that you can't tell anyone, and they make it
Speaker 1: such a big deal about not telling anyone that you're
Speaker 1: on the show.
Speaker 2: Email.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got a magical email.
Speaker 2: That someone had leaked something and they'd been kicked off.
Speaker 1: They'd been kicked off the show.
Speaker 2: So it was a smoking mirrors, such a problem. Even
Speaker 2: when I read it, I was like, this is such
Speaker 2: a bluff.
Speaker 1: And then I was like, going back, I'm like, who
Speaker 1: have I told? Oh my god? Am I kicked off?
Speaker 2: I was at the local pub the week before.
Speaker 1: I'm going, oh my god, doesn't surprise me.
Speaker 2: Just with all the boys. But yeah, still okay, So
Speaker 2: obviously you won. Anna and I came runner up. Yes,
Speaker 2: and we finished in a coupling with someone. Do you
Speaker 2: think you found true love on the show? Do you
Speaker 2: reckon it worked?
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I think I definitely fell in love
Speaker 1: with Josh. I think we're both in love with each other.
Speaker 2: So the show worked. You found love on Love Island.
Speaker 2: So when all those haters say that you can't find
Speaker 2: love on a reality show, you think you did.
Speaker 1: I think you definitely can find love on a reality show.
Speaker 1: If me and Josh met in the outside world, would
Speaker 1: we have worked. Maybe not, because from the moment I
Speaker 1: met Josh, we were spending every day with one another.
Speaker 1: And there's also no one else like distracting you. So
Speaker 1: it's just zero to one hundred style. So you're put
Speaker 1: into an environment that makes you fall in love. You
Speaker 1: go on really nice dates, you do dates that that
Speaker 1: person would probably never do with you in real life.
Speaker 2: You're encouraged to chat to them about your feelings as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so the producers will say, hey, Anna, go have
Speaker 1: a chat with Josh, and I want you to tell
Speaker 1: him how you feel. For me, that was super uncomfortable,
Speaker 1: and I know for him it was uncomfortable, and pretty
Speaker 1: much everyone in there, You're like, oh God, like I
Speaker 1: have to talk about my feelings. You know, it's being
Speaker 1: filmed as well in the back of your mind, so
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, but you have to do it. So
Speaker 1: they're constantly pushing you to evolve your relationship. And did
Speaker 1: I fall in love in that process? Yeah? I did,
Speaker 1: And I did really love Josh and he loved me.
Speaker 1: But it's a manufactured environment. So I think getting out
Speaker 1: into the real world is a test as to whether
Speaker 1: it's lasting love that can endure. And I guess a
Speaker 1: lot of the time it can't because you don't see
Speaker 1: that person in reality, Like you don't see those little
Speaker 1: things like how they treat weight stuff or how they
Speaker 1: drive a carha or anything like, you don't see any
Speaker 1: of that. And then I guess when you come into
Speaker 1: the real world, it's kind of a bit of a shock.
Speaker 1: You're like, oh, didn't know.
Speaker 2: That, didn't know that you do this, you do it
Speaker 2: this way? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, what about you? Do you think you found love.
Speaker 2: At the time? Yes, So, like you said, you're in
Speaker 2: this manufactured world. And obviously I was coupled with Cartier
Speaker 2: in the last week, and the last week is really
Speaker 2: based around like you're coupling my feeling and your feelings
Speaker 2: like there's what like the final date, what was a
Speaker 2: commitment ceremony ceremony? There was like a dates and like
Speaker 2: it's just really intense and everything in there is obviously intensified.
Speaker 2: So like I was like, yeah, I really like this girl.
Speaker 2: Like I've gone through what seven weeks of like fucking
Speaker 2: an emotional rollercoaster. I finished with someone that I like,
Speaker 2: and obviously she was telling me all the right things.
Speaker 1: And it feels like the aim of the game doesn't, yeah,
Speaker 1: to find Like if you don't find someone, why are
Speaker 1: you there?
Speaker 2: You're almost like, well, fuck, I would be robbed if
Speaker 2: I came off here without someone. Yeah, I mean so,
Speaker 2: and obviously everything is like pushed in that direction to
Speaker 2: feel like you love them and then you come off obviously,
Speaker 2: And like, don't get me wrong, I still wanted to
Speaker 2: give Cartier and me a shot. When we finished, I
Speaker 2: was like, I'm not just gonna let.
Speaker 1: It go, ye, like we did all you were invested.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was really invested in the situation of a.
Speaker 2: I don't think she was invested as I was, so
Speaker 2: I don't want to speak for her.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean obviously, as Cartier's friend, you knew
Speaker 1: that she was not over Adam.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I did, but I didn't because she
Speaker 2: was telling me all the right stuff, like remember that
Speaker 2: I saw a cliff. We're talking about cliffs I seen.
Speaker 2: I saw it afterwards where I come up to you
Speaker 2: in there and I go, where's Cartia And You're like
Speaker 2: she's upset, and I'm like.
Speaker 1: She needs space?
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I say what about And then you're like
Speaker 2: you know, and I remember I walk off. I'm like,
Speaker 2: what are you talking about it?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think for me, I just assumed that you
Speaker 1: were kind of like, I'm going to see how it goes.
Speaker 1: But I know that deep down, she's probably not over
Speaker 1: the situation because you spent the whole time in there
Speaker 1: investing in someone else. But I think maybe you had
Speaker 1: the rose colored glasses on maybe a little bit. But
Speaker 1: at the same time, like if someone's telling you something,
Speaker 1: of course you're going to be like, yeah, I'm all
Speaker 1: into and you're zero to one hundred. So like, it's
Speaker 1: also not a shock to me that you were like,
Speaker 1: let's give this red hot crack.
Speaker 2: Even on the so I just wanted like a bit
Speaker 2: of time to give it a go. But she wasn't interested.
Speaker 1: She wasn't keen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she wasn't keen. I wanted to at least give
Speaker 2: it like one trip and see what we could do,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Yeah, Oh well it is
Speaker 2: what it is. I mean I eventually like got over it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you were sad about it for a bit,
Speaker 1: for a little bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was pretty sad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a tough one. When you watch the show back, Matt,
Speaker 1: do you think it was an accurate representation of what happened? Like,
Speaker 1: was it fully edited or was what you saw actually
Speaker 1: what happened in there?
Speaker 2: I think it was pretty bang on for my story
Speaker 2: of what happened. I mean, obviously I went through like
Speaker 2: an emotional rollercational that sort of stuff. I mean, that's
Speaker 2: probably one bit I feel was a bit more produced.
Speaker 2: Was the whole Jordan and Owen situation with me. I
Speaker 2: think that was a bit heavily produced, like the bro
Speaker 2: code sort of thing. They saw something and they jumped
Speaker 2: on it there. But again, Owen did pull a swifty
Speaker 2: of me, but they obviously played it up a lot
Speaker 2: more for the storyline. But apart from that, I think, yeah,
Speaker 2: everything that happened with me was pretty bang on. Yeah,
Speaker 2: what about yourself, do you think your story was told
Speaker 2: the right way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean most of the things that happened was
Speaker 1: pretty well told. When I watched the season back, I
Speaker 1: think watching it back, I realized that if the producers
Speaker 1: wanted you to come across really well, you did. So
Speaker 1: there were specific people, and there's a lot of them
Speaker 1: who some of the good parts of their personality were
Speaker 1: the only things that were shown. And then there was
Speaker 1: other people who got a really bad edit and they
Speaker 1: just took one small aspect of their personality that wasn't
Speaker 1: that nice and missed out all of the great stuff.
Speaker 1: And I mean, I just think no one's perfect. We
Speaker 1: all have good and bad and I think to be
Speaker 1: represented as solely the bad parts of your personality or
Speaker 1: solely the good parts of your persononality is not an
Speaker 1: accurate representation.
Speaker 2: So how I explain it to people when they ask
Speaker 2: about that where you represented the right way? I say, Look,
Speaker 2: at one time, there's twelve people in a house. How
Speaker 2: long does an episode run for?
Speaker 1: An hour?
Speaker 2: An hour? So what's that divided by sixty minutes divided
Speaker 2: by twelve people plus other bits? Right, plus challenges all
Speaker 2: that they can only hone into one bit of your
Speaker 2: personality to show that, because you're getting what three minutes
Speaker 2: of air time to like four minutes in an episode,
Speaker 2: So like, you could be like funny, you could be charming,
Speaker 2: you could be like sensitive, you could be like all
Speaker 2: this sort of stuff, but they only have enough time
Speaker 2: to show one bit of your personality for that episode,
Speaker 2: so they have to pick what one it is and
Speaker 2: run with it. So for me example, at the start,
Speaker 2: I was the emotional guy, right, and then they realized, wait,
Speaker 2: this guy's got more layers to him. Let's show the
Speaker 2: other sides, like the funny side, all this sort of stuff,
Speaker 2: which I was doing the whole time I was in there.
Speaker 1: But it only got shown as it.
Speaker 2: Progressed as they progress and they realized, do you know
Speaker 2: what I mean, Like, let's show more of this guy?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Because yeah, as human beings were all very multifaceted,
Speaker 1: and I guess when you go onto a reality TV show,
Speaker 1: you have to be mindful that a part of your
Speaker 1: personality that you might not be proud of it or
Speaker 1: might not like could be zoned in on and that
Speaker 1: can make you feel really insecure. I know that a
Speaker 1: lot of people came out of the show, pretty much
Speaker 1: everyone with really big mental health issues, and you know,
Speaker 1: it wasn't good, Like everyone was struggling. Everyone. There wasn't
Speaker 1: one person who went into Love Island season two that
Speaker 1: I know of that didn't come out and have some
Speaker 1: mental health issues after the show.
Speaker 2: So, for instance, Maurice, he was portrayed.
Speaker 1: As really badly on the show. He didn't get a
Speaker 1: good edit.
Speaker 2: I mean, I never clicked with the bloke. I couldn't.
Speaker 2: I found him very hard to talk to you, so
Speaker 2: I didn't have much time with.
Speaker 1: Him, whereas I did click with him. The way I
Speaker 1: saw Maurice is like he was a very grounded, wholesome,
Speaker 1: kind guy, and then there was this other side to
Speaker 1: a personality that I didn't even get to see firsthand
Speaker 1: from knowing him, that he was kind of like maybe
Speaker 1: that he got his back up a little bit if
Speaker 1: someone didn't like him, like Jesse didn't really like him,
Speaker 1: and he got his back up a bit and maybe
Speaker 1: didn't say the right thing, but they just zoned in
Speaker 1: on that, or like they made a big deal out
Speaker 1: of the fact that he had a girlfriend before the show,
Speaker 1: But actually what happened is he broke up with his
Speaker 1: girlfriend because he wasn't happy in the relationship and then
Speaker 1: decided to go on Love Island. And let me tell you,
Speaker 1: we've spoken about this. Every single person who was on
Speaker 1: Love Island was seeing someone before they came into Lover.
Speaker 1: We're all single, of course, we.
Speaker 2: Are always seeing sleeping, dating and whatever you want to
Speaker 2: call it. Like with someone it might not be official obviously,
Speaker 2: because you can't be taken to on the show. Everyone
Speaker 2: was seeing someone before that went on that show.
Speaker 1: If Maurice has broken up with his girlfriend to go
Speaker 1: on the show, I guess that's a little bit of
Speaker 1: a different story. But then at the same time, like
Speaker 1: this girl was like posting YouTube videos and like she
Speaker 1: saw it opportunity, she saw her opportunity. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: I just think they really portrayed him in a negative light.
Speaker 1: If that was me and I had been portrayed in
Speaker 1: that way, I would have been so upset.
Speaker 2: That was the one thing my old man said to
Speaker 2: me before I went on. He's like, are you, like,
Speaker 2: why are they going to make you look to be
Speaker 2: a dickhead? And I was like, well, no, I said,
Speaker 2: I'm not a dickhead. I'm not an asshole. I was like,
Speaker 2: if they can get enough content of me, to make
Speaker 2: me look like that, well, then I deserve it. But
Speaker 2: I was like, I know who I am, I know
Speaker 2: what I'm about, so I'll be fine when I go on.
Speaker 1: That's what I thought. I was like, I feel like
Speaker 1: I'm a good person to my core. Yeah, if I
Speaker 1: lose my mind one too many times, that's on me.
Speaker 2: I definitely lost my mind a couple of times in there.
Speaker 1: But yeah, So, I mean, there was two things that
Speaker 1: happened where I felt like it wasn't really a true
Speaker 1: reflection of what happened. The first one was there was
Speaker 1: three girls and we got to choose to send either you,
Speaker 1: oh when Jared all Maurice home. Yeah, and we all
Speaker 1: chose to send Jared home, and the producers basically said,
Speaker 1: I don't think that's the right choice.
Speaker 2: This was the night when we were up till like
Speaker 2: four am, we're doing that ceremony.
Speaker 1: It was brutal, Yeah, and the producers we were very sleepy,
Speaker 1: and I pretty much stuck to my guns and I
Speaker 1: was like, no, we want to send Jared home. It
Speaker 1: was a two by one like me and Cathy wanted
Speaker 1: to send Jared home, and Carty wanted to send Maurice home,
Speaker 1: and in the end because we were so exhausted from
Speaker 1: the show, we ended up just saying okay, fine, like
Speaker 1: we'll send Maurice home, Like that's what you guys want.
Speaker 1: Doesn't seem like we got We're going to be staying
Speaker 1: here up all night, put us to bed, and let
Speaker 1: us move on with life. And honestly, I felt really
Speaker 1: bad when Maurice went home because that wasn't our choice,
Speaker 1: that was the production company's choice. And then the second thing,
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 2: Even remember that Marie. I was too busy.
Speaker 1: Crime The second thing that I felt like was a
Speaker 1: misrepresentation was just before the finale, the producer came up
Speaker 1: to Josh and said, we're gonna ask you if you
Speaker 1: love Anna in the finale, just so you know, like
Speaker 1: we think you that you do love her. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: I guess it was kind of just implying that, like
Speaker 1: it would be good for the show and the ratings
Speaker 1: if he told me he loved me in the finale episode.
Speaker 1: And so basically we were in here and makeup before
Speaker 1: we filmed the finale. Is it finale? I don't know
Speaker 1: if I'm saying right.
Speaker 2: Don't ask me.
Speaker 1: Anyway, And yeah, we were in here and makeup, and
Speaker 1: Josh pulled me aside and said, Hey, Anna, I just
Speaker 1: want you to know that I love you. And I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, like, I love you too, and he's like,
Speaker 1: just so you know, the producers are going to ask
Speaker 1: me when we film the final episode, and I'm going
Speaker 1: to say I love you, but I just wanted to
Speaker 1: say it privately first to you before I basically said
Speaker 1: it on national television, so I guess from a public
Speaker 1: perspective watching it, he told me he loved me on air,
Speaker 1: but actually he had told me an hour prior, so
Speaker 1: it was that the.
Speaker 2: Hair and makeup before we went out to the finale. Yep, Yeah,
Speaker 2: everyone's a bit pissed on Champagne. I remember that, all right, guys.
Speaker 2: So we have only just hit the tip of the
Speaker 2: iceberg on all this Love Island goss, haven't we ona.
Speaker 1: Yes, this has been so juicy and honestly, we have
Speaker 1: just begun telling you, guys all of the juicy gosp
Speaker 1: from Love Island. So we've decided to make this episode
Speaker 1: into two parts. The next part is coming very soon,
Speaker 1: so keep track of our socials to make sure you
Speaker 1: don't miss the drop of that. Okay, guys, until next time,
Speaker 1: see you later.
