<v Speaker 2>I can call him Michael now, not your man.

0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:27.760
<v Speaker 1>We're allowed to call him by name. Matt was actually

0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:30.240
<v Speaker 1>banned from calling him by name, and so many times

0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:33.440
<v Speaker 1>when we have been recording our podcast, I've been like, no, no, no, no,

0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:35.120
<v Speaker 1>don't say the name.

0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:37.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we don't want to get out too early. But yeah,

0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:40.280
<v Speaker 2>so how is Michael going. You've dropped it on Instagram

0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:41.480
<v Speaker 2>to everyone the exciting news.

0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we're instir official. You know that's a really big

0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:47.239
<v Speaker 1>deal these days, Like when you go insur official, it's

0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:49.079
<v Speaker 1>like a milestone in a relationship.

0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:51.200
<v Speaker 2>Don't you think it's announcing it to the world. Really,

0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:52.880
<v Speaker 2>once it's on the internet, it never comes down.

0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:55.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh God, don't just stress me out like that.

0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:58.760
<v Speaker 2>It's out there for everyone now it is.

0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:00.959
<v Speaker 1>But I'm happy, Like I think it's been a long

0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:03.760
<v Speaker 1>time coming. We've been seeing each other for a while now,

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:06.120
<v Speaker 1>so it was the right time for us, and I've

0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:10.040
<v Speaker 1>been excited to share. And we're always together, as you know.

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:11.799
<v Speaker 1>So there's so many times when I'm with him and

0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:14.480
<v Speaker 1>I want to do an instant story or something and

0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:17.840
<v Speaker 1>I can't because I'm with him. So now now I'm free.

0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:20.239
<v Speaker 2>Beneficial to be in your close friends.

0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I did have a close friends story when Michael

0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:26.680
<v Speaker 1>did make an appearance. But now that's kind of free.

0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:30.200
<v Speaker 2>Reign, so all positive feedback, so that's good as well. Yeah.

0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:32.840
<v Speaker 1>No, I think everyone seems to be really happy for me,

0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:33.720
<v Speaker 1>so I'm happy.

0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:36.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm happy for you as well. Yeah, but I've got

0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:39.840
<v Speaker 2>a question actually, which is on topic. Yeah, has Michael

0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:43.880
<v Speaker 2>watched you on Love Island? He hasn't, not even before

0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:46.400
<v Speaker 2>or while you guys are dating. You haven't showed him anything.

0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean you've sent me clear. I reckon Matt

0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 1>has watched our season of Love Island like at least

0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:01.800
<v Speaker 1>thirty times at a minimum. You constantly send me clip

0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:05.480
<v Speaker 1>and then you'll like, show Michael this, and then I'm like, oh, okay,

0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:08.320
<v Speaker 1>but you No, he hasn't watched the show. He's thirty

0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:12.800
<v Speaker 1>three and not really into reality TV. So yeah, it

0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:14.400
<v Speaker 1>was perfect like when we met.

0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:18.159
<v Speaker 2>In my defense, first, I only send those clips because

0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:20.480
<v Speaker 2>when I'm sitting down and on board, I'll go on

0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:23.480
<v Speaker 2>YouTube and the stuff that come up. I love iland clips.

0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:25.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, oh I remember this, and I'll click on it.

0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:27.760
<v Speaker 2>I'll watch it and I'll be like, oh Anna will

0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:28.520
<v Speaker 2>appreciate this.

0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:32.040
<v Speaker 1>No, that's because you watch these clips so many times

0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:37.520
<v Speaker 1>they become your recommended videos because the YouTube algorithm knows

0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:40.159
<v Speaker 1>that you're going to click back on them. So don't

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:42.600
<v Speaker 1>make out like you haven't been searching for this.

0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:43.239
<v Speaker 2>This is true.

0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:45.720
<v Speaker 1>It is so let me ask you a question. Michaels

0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:48.800
<v Speaker 1>seen a few clips only because you have sent them

0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:51.279
<v Speaker 1>through and then I've ended up showing him one or

0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:54.560
<v Speaker 1>two things. But I know for a fact that with

0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:59.000
<v Speaker 1>the girls that you day you love showing a Love

0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:03.359
<v Speaker 1>Island clip, and I know the Magical Date girl is

0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:05.760
<v Speaker 1>still very much on the picture, which we're really very

0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:10.279
<v Speaker 1>excited about. Have you shown her any Love Island clears

0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:13.719
<v Speaker 1>or have you even probably watched the whole series with her?

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:16.599
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so she didn't watch the show. She's not a

0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:19.919
<v Speaker 2>fan of reality TV, so she didn't know anything about

0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:23.400
<v Speaker 2>the show. But her sister and best friend after I

0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:25.599
<v Speaker 2>met them, went back to watch the show.

0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:28.160
<v Speaker 1>And they sent her see some homework.

0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:30.160
<v Speaker 2>And they sent some snaps while we were laying in

0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:33.880
<v Speaker 2>bed one time of them watching it, and I was like, well, look,

0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:35.760
<v Speaker 2>you don't want to be in the dark. You want

0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:37.520
<v Speaker 2>to know what they're seeing, so let's chuck it on

0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:42.080
<v Speaker 2>if you aren't, And then so we put it on

0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:43.120
<v Speaker 2>and I was like, look, we're not just going to

0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:44.920
<v Speaker 2>watch it from the start, like I've seen it and

0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.960
<v Speaker 2>lived it. It's boring. Like, let's get to some juicy bits.

0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:50.120
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, hang on, I'm going to show

0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:51.599
<v Speaker 2>you when I had a baby, and I'm going to

0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:53.480
<v Speaker 2>show you how good of her father I will really be.

0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I see what you're doing.

0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:57.680
<v Speaker 2>So I used it as a tactical thing to show it,

0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.000
<v Speaker 2>and she said, yeah, you would make a good baby daddy.

0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So for anyone who didn't watch Love Island, there

0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:05.400
<v Speaker 1>was a day where we were given fake children.

0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:06.120
<v Speaker 2>Yep.

0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:08.480
<v Speaker 1>And so I guess what you're saying is you were

0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:10.960
<v Speaker 1>showing her how good of a future father you'll be.

0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:17.839
<v Speaker 1>That's big, Matt. Your brain is going down that path

0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:20.120
<v Speaker 1>of thinking that she's your future baby.

0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:26.520
<v Speaker 2>Maka yet guilty. I've been called out there. I don't

0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:27.159
<v Speaker 2>even know what to say.

0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:30.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, Well, on that note, let's get into our

0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Love Island episode. Okay, Matt, So, going on a show

0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:41.480
<v Speaker 1>like Love Island is a really unique experience. What made

0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:43.839
<v Speaker 1>you sign up for the show?

0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:48.400
<v Speaker 2>So I got messaged by a producer on Instagram asking

0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:50.919
<v Speaker 2>me if I'd like to audition and try it for

0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:53.040
<v Speaker 2>the show. They said, obviously, this doesn't mean you're going on.

0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:54.680
<v Speaker 2>You're just going to do the same things, but we've

0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:56.599
<v Speaker 2>come across you and we think you'd be right for

0:06:56.640 --> 0:07:00.400
<v Speaker 2>the show. Cool. So I was at the time broken

0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:03.400
<v Speaker 2>up with my ex real recently, and I was like,

0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:05.520
<v Speaker 2>I've got nothing to lose. Like I spoke to my

0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:07.760
<v Speaker 2>family about it. I was like, it's a once in

0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:10.240
<v Speaker 2>a lifetime opportunity. Like you said, if what's the worst

0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:11.760
<v Speaker 2>thing that happens, you could go on a holiday in

0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:14.240
<v Speaker 2>Fiji and sit by a pool, which literally, did I know,

0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:15.040
<v Speaker 2>is so far.

0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.040
<v Speaker 1>From, so far from the truth.

0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:19.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so far from a relaxing holiday sing by a pool.

0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:21.240
<v Speaker 2>But at the time, I was like, Yeah, what's the

0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:23.080
<v Speaker 2>big deal. I get to meet some hot people, you know,

0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:25.000
<v Speaker 2>like be a bit of fun.

0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:26.640
<v Speaker 1>So revel in the single life.

0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:28.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah exactly. So I was like, I'll give it a go,

0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:30.400
<v Speaker 2>like and how many people get to do it? And

0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:32.840
<v Speaker 2>I can tell my grandchildren like that I did this,

0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:39.520
<v Speaker 2>you know. I mean, it's it's a weird experience. Shut up, Puffy,

0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:43.520
<v Speaker 2>no one cares. How about yourself? Why did you go on?

0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:44.600
<v Speaker 2>Why did you so?

0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:47.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm originally from the UK, and so every year I

0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.640
<v Speaker 1>would go back to visit my family in the UK

0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:54.960
<v Speaker 1>and I was staying with my cousin and I was

0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:57.040
<v Speaker 1>at her house and she was like, oh my god,

0:07:57.240 --> 0:07:59.520
<v Speaker 1>we have to get home because I have to see

0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:02.800
<v Speaker 1>Love is tonight. And I was like, what is this show?

0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:05.640
<v Speaker 1>Like She's obsessed with it, like I've never heard of

0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:09.000
<v Speaker 1>it before. And I watched an episode with my cousin Sarah,

0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:12.560
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, this is amazing, Like I never

0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:15.480
<v Speaker 1>seen a show like it. It just seems like a

0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:18.600
<v Speaker 1>different world the way like it's created. It just looks

0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:22.480
<v Speaker 1>like this magical lamb all of these amazing people. And

0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:25.880
<v Speaker 1>from then on, when I came back to Australia, I

0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:30.880
<v Speaker 1>binge watched the UK seasons and loved it. And this

0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:34.240
<v Speaker 1>sounds really bad, but I was watching Love Island season

0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:39.320
<v Speaker 1>one with my ex boyfriend yep, and this sounds awful.

0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:42.640
<v Speaker 1>I actually feel bad about this considering anyway, let me

0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:45.320
<v Speaker 1>just tell the story the other turn of events. I

0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:47.760
<v Speaker 1>said to him, if I ever become single again, I'm

0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:50.400
<v Speaker 1>going to go on Love Island. Little did I know

0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:53.720
<v Speaker 1>that like a year and a half later, I would

0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:56.839
<v Speaker 1>actually be going on the next season of Love Island.

0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:59.959
<v Speaker 1>Oh you manifested it then, Yeah, I definitely did manifest it.

0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:01.640
<v Speaker 1>Had you ever seen the show before?

0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:06.080
<v Speaker 2>I had briefly watched season one of Australia when my

0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:08.800
<v Speaker 2>good mate Justin was on, so i'd watch it to

0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:12.600
<v Speaker 2>support just like so i'd watch bits of it, but

0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:15.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to I didn't get invested in imagination.

0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:17.000
<v Speaker 2>I just had it on in the background, like when

0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:19.000
<v Speaker 2>I was cooking dinner or doing that, like, and watch

0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:21.319
<v Speaker 2>bits when he was on. So I didn't really get

0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:22.200
<v Speaker 2>what it was about.

0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:25.280
<v Speaker 1>You're not a reality TV person, Like, it's not something

0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:26.720
<v Speaker 1>you watch. You're a movie buff.

0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:28.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, a massive movie buff. So I don't watch reality

0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:30.880
<v Speaker 2>TV unless someone I know is on it. So I

0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:31.720
<v Speaker 2>was watching it for him.

0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:32.240
<v Speaker 1>Cool.

0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:34.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So I didn't know what I was getting myself

0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:37.360
<v Speaker 2>into when I went onto the show. You obviously did. Yeah,

0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:38.080
<v Speaker 2>you did watched it?

0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:39.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah all right.

0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:42.640
<v Speaker 2>So and when you got onto the show, was there

0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:45.079
<v Speaker 2>any blokes that were like the front runners and the

0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:46.640
<v Speaker 2>ones that you were going for, because obviously you were

0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:50.040
<v Speaker 2>a bomb on what day three or day three? Did

0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:52.040
<v Speaker 2>you know who was already in there? Had they? So

0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:52.600
<v Speaker 2>you are?

0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:56.600
<v Speaker 1>As I was driving to the airport, I think, because

0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:58.600
<v Speaker 1>as you know, when you go on Love Island, you

0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:00.640
<v Speaker 1>have to go into lockdown for a about a week

0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:03.720
<v Speaker 1>or two before you go in, depending if you're the

0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:06.400
<v Speaker 1>starting lineup or if you're a bomb coming in. Throughout

0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:08.560
<v Speaker 1>the series, I was in there for eight days, yeah,

0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:11.240
<v Speaker 1>and I was in there for four in lockdown. But

0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:13.040
<v Speaker 1>as I was on my way to the airport, they

0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:18.440
<v Speaker 1>released the ten starting lineup people, one of them being you.

0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:21.600
<v Speaker 1>So I was obviously like, I know Mat from our

0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:25.880
<v Speaker 1>modeling days, and then definitely I think a front runner

0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:28.600
<v Speaker 1>from me would have been Owen because as you know,

0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:32.000
<v Speaker 1>I like the long hair, tall type of look. So

0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:34.439
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I guess going in I was kind of like, O,

0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:38.040
<v Speaker 1>while I've got Matt. Or aside from.

0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:42.840
<v Speaker 2>When you got in there, my situation was it was very.

0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:46.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I think as soon as I got in there,

0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:51.760
<v Speaker 1>I realized that you had been claimed very hard by Vanessa,

0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:54.280
<v Speaker 1>and I was very put off that situation. I was like,

0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:57.680
<v Speaker 1>too much drama, staying well out of it. I'm already

0:10:57.679 --> 0:11:00.440
<v Speaker 1>on a reality TV show that's already a lot for

0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:03.480
<v Speaker 1>me to handle, Like, I don't want to put myself

0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:07.040
<v Speaker 1>into a hectic situation. But in saying that, were you

0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:11.400
<v Speaker 1>happy to be paired with Vanessa? Would you say at

0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:11.920
<v Speaker 1>the start?

0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:14.400
<v Speaker 2>I was. I mean when I first walked out, I'm

0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:16.920
<v Speaker 2>not gonna lie. I actually was looking at Jesse a

0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:24.400
<v Speaker 2>fair bit. Yeah, but I remember Maurice, motherfucking Maurice had

0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:27.760
<v Speaker 2>his arm around her and like was like grasping at

0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:29.440
<v Speaker 2>her and was like staring a hole through me. And

0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:31.640
<v Speaker 2>I was like, I was like, look, I don't know

0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:33.880
<v Speaker 2>how much these guys have been chatting or what's been

0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:35.760
<v Speaker 2>going on, but they look pretty happy. So I was like,

0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:38.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to break that up. And obviously Vanessa

0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:42.080
<v Speaker 2>looks wise is my type. So I was like, okay,

0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:45.400
<v Speaker 2>I'll go with Vanessa. But I had a feeling you

0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:48.040
<v Speaker 2>were going to be on the show, did you? So

0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:51.000
<v Speaker 2>I've tried to find the photo. I was talking to

0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:54.079
<v Speaker 2>a girl at the time, like obviously like hanging out.

0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:56.560
<v Speaker 2>We weren't like dating or anything, just like hanging out.

0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:59.439
<v Speaker 2>And you put up a story and it was like

0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:01.560
<v Speaker 2>you I can't remember what you said, but I remember

0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:04.560
<v Speaker 2>you were in a bathroom and I just got back

0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:07.679
<v Speaker 2>from shooting in Sydney like a day before, and I

0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:08.400
<v Speaker 2>was like, so you.

0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Were shooting the promos for Love Island in Sydney. In Sydney,

0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:13.880
<v Speaker 1>we all had to go up to Sydney to shoot promo.

0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:16.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, to shoot promos. Yeah. So I saw your story

0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:18.480
<v Speaker 2>and you're in a bathroom like it was a boomerang.

0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:21.120
<v Speaker 2>I can't even remember what it was. And then there

0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:23.719
<v Speaker 2>was two toilet roll things and I was actually the

0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:26.080
<v Speaker 2>girl was like, she's in a hotel room. She's going

0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:27.720
<v Speaker 2>on Love Island, and she's like, how do you know that?

0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:29.480
<v Speaker 2>And I'm like, I have a feeling in my gut.

0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:31.400
<v Speaker 2>I was like, I know she's going to be on there.

0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:33.640
<v Speaker 2>And I was like I just know it. I just

0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:35.400
<v Speaker 2>know the way, Like I just have a feeling, like

0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:37.680
<v Speaker 2>that's a hotel room, she's up in Sydney shooting her promos.

0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:38.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, she's going to be on.

0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:40.640
<v Speaker 1>Your gut was right, Yeah, it was.

0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:41.559
<v Speaker 2>But I thought you were going to be in the

0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:43.439
<v Speaker 2>original line up. So when I walked out, you weren't there,

0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:46.000
<v Speaker 2>so I probably I probably would have picked.

0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:48.080
<v Speaker 1>You a bit disappointed.

0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:49.800
<v Speaker 2>A little bit. I was. I remember driving. I was like, right, well,

0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:52.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm clearly going to pick Anna if what I was

0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:54.079
<v Speaker 2>thinking was true. But you weren't there.

0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:57.160
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't there, So, yeah, why didn't you message me

0:12:57.320 --> 0:12:58.800
<v Speaker 1>if you thought I was going to be on there? Like,

0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:00.839
<v Speaker 1>why didn't you reach out, Hey, you're going to be

0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:01.559
<v Speaker 1>on Love Island?

0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:04.319
<v Speaker 2>Because I was seeing you that we give our instagrams

0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:07.040
<v Speaker 2>to them, and I didn't know what your reaction would

0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:09.240
<v Speaker 2>have been. You might have been like, you know what.

0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:13.480
<v Speaker 1>I Love Island was very intense and strict, Like the

0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:17.480
<v Speaker 1>production team. They're so intense with you about leaking the

0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:20.040
<v Speaker 1>fact that you can't tell anyone, and they make it

0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:23.160
<v Speaker 1>such a big deal about not telling anyone that you're

0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:23.679
<v Speaker 1>on the show.

0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:24.800
<v Speaker 2>Email.

0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:28.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we got a magical email.

0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:30.520
<v Speaker 2>That someone had leaked something and they'd been kicked off.

0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:31.920
<v Speaker 1>They'd been kicked off the show.

0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:35.080
<v Speaker 2>So it was a smoking mirrors, such a problem. Even

0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:36.280
<v Speaker 2>when I read it, I was like, this is such

0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:36.680
<v Speaker 2>a bluff.

0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:38.120
<v Speaker 1>And then I was like, going back, I'm like, who

0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:40.600
<v Speaker 1>have I told? Oh my god? Am I kicked off?

0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:42.480
<v Speaker 2>I was at the local pub the week before.

0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:47.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm going, oh my god, doesn't surprise me.

0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:50.760
<v Speaker 2>Just with all the boys. But yeah, still okay, So

0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:53.840
<v Speaker 2>obviously you won. Anna and I came runner up. Yes,

0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:57.400
<v Speaker 2>and we finished in a coupling with someone. Do you

0:13:57.400 --> 0:13:59.199
<v Speaker 2>think you found true love on the show? Do you

0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:00.240
<v Speaker 2>reckon it worked?

0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:03.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean yeah, I think I definitely fell in love

0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:06.320
<v Speaker 1>with Josh. I think we're both in love with each other.

0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:09.520
<v Speaker 2>So the show worked. You found love on Love Island.

0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:12.120
<v Speaker 2>So when all those haters say that you can't find

0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:14.000
<v Speaker 2>love on a reality show, you think you did.

0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:17.800
<v Speaker 1>I think you definitely can find love on a reality show.

0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:22.000
<v Speaker 1>If me and Josh met in the outside world, would

0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:26.000
<v Speaker 1>we have worked. Maybe not, because from the moment I

0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:29.000
<v Speaker 1>met Josh, we were spending every day with one another.

0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:34.800
<v Speaker 1>And there's also no one else like distracting you. So

0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:39.040
<v Speaker 1>it's just zero to one hundred style. So you're put

0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:41.920
<v Speaker 1>into an environment that makes you fall in love. You

0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:45.640
<v Speaker 1>go on really nice dates, you do dates that that

0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:48.520
<v Speaker 1>person would probably never do with you in real life.

0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:51.160
<v Speaker 2>You're encouraged to chat to them about your feelings as well.

0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:53.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so the producers will say, hey, Anna, go have

0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:56.080
<v Speaker 1>a chat with Josh, and I want you to tell

0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:59.600
<v Speaker 1>him how you feel. For me, that was super uncomfortable,

0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:02.200
<v Speaker 1>and I know for him it was uncomfortable, and pretty

0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:04.600
<v Speaker 1>much everyone in there, You're like, oh God, like I

0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:06.480
<v Speaker 1>have to talk about my feelings. You know, it's being

0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:08.280
<v Speaker 1>filmed as well in the back of your mind, so

0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:10.680
<v Speaker 1>you're like, oh, but you have to do it. So

0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:15.560
<v Speaker 1>they're constantly pushing you to evolve your relationship. And did

0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:18.680
<v Speaker 1>I fall in love in that process? Yeah? I did,

0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:21.240
<v Speaker 1>And I did really love Josh and he loved me.

0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:26.240
<v Speaker 1>But it's a manufactured environment. So I think getting out

0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:29.080
<v Speaker 1>into the real world is a test as to whether

0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:33.960
<v Speaker 1>it's lasting love that can endure. And I guess a

0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:36.120
<v Speaker 1>lot of the time it can't because you don't see

0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:41.000
<v Speaker 1>that person in reality, Like you don't see those little

0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:45.400
<v Speaker 1>things like how they treat weight stuff or how they

0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:48.440
<v Speaker 1>drive a carha or anything like, you don't see any

0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:51.320
<v Speaker 1>of that. And then I guess when you come into

0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:53.280
<v Speaker 1>the real world, it's kind of a bit of a shock.

0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:54.680
<v Speaker 1>You're like, oh, didn't know.

0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:57.440
<v Speaker 2>That, didn't know that you do this, you do it

0:15:57.440 --> 0:15:58.400
<v Speaker 2>this way? Yeah?

0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:01.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, what about you? Do you think you found love.

0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:03.960
<v Speaker 2>At the time? Yes, So, like you said, you're in

0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:07.240
<v Speaker 2>this manufactured world. And obviously I was coupled with Cartier

0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:10.040
<v Speaker 2>in the last week, and the last week is really

0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:13.960
<v Speaker 2>based around like you're coupling my feeling and your feelings

0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:16.200
<v Speaker 2>like there's what like the final date, what was a

0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:19.840
<v Speaker 2>commitment ceremony ceremony? There was like a dates and like

0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:22.600
<v Speaker 2>it's just really intense and everything in there is obviously intensified.

0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:25.600
<v Speaker 2>So like I was like, yeah, I really like this girl.

0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:28.360
<v Speaker 2>Like I've gone through what seven weeks of like fucking

0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:31.600
<v Speaker 2>an emotional rollercoaster. I finished with someone that I like,

0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:33.840
<v Speaker 2>and obviously she was telling me all the right things.

0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:36.880
<v Speaker 1>And it feels like the aim of the game doesn't, yeah,

0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:38.960
<v Speaker 1>to find Like if you don't find someone, why are

0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:39.360
<v Speaker 1>you there?

0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:41.040
<v Speaker 2>You're almost like, well, fuck, I would be robbed if

0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:43.200
<v Speaker 2>I came off here without someone. Yeah, I mean so,

0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:46.240
<v Speaker 2>and obviously everything is like pushed in that direction to

0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:48.680
<v Speaker 2>feel like you love them and then you come off obviously,

0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:51.480
<v Speaker 2>And like, don't get me wrong, I still wanted to

0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:53.840
<v Speaker 2>give Cartier and me a shot. When we finished, I

0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:55.240
<v Speaker 2>was like, I'm not just gonna let.

0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:57.440
<v Speaker 1>It go, ye, like we did all you were invested.

0:16:57.640 --> 0:16:59.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I was really invested in the situation of a.

0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:02.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't think she was invested as I was, so

0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:03.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to speak for her.

0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:08.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but I mean obviously, as Cartier's friend, you knew

0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:09.840
<v Speaker 1>that she was not over Adam.

0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:13.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean I did, but I didn't because she

0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:15.720
<v Speaker 2>was telling me all the right stuff, like remember that

0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:18.040
<v Speaker 2>I saw a cliff. We're talking about cliffs I seen.

0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:20.840
<v Speaker 2>I saw it afterwards where I come up to you

0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:23.040
<v Speaker 2>in there and I go, where's Cartia And You're like

0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:24.879
<v Speaker 2>she's upset, and I'm like.

0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:25.680
<v Speaker 1>She needs space?

0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:28.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And I say what about And then you're like

0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:30.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, and I remember I walk off. I'm like,

0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:31.159
<v Speaker 2>what are you talking about it?

0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? I think for me, I just assumed that you

0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:35.960
<v Speaker 1>were kind of like, I'm going to see how it goes.

0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:38.920
<v Speaker 1>But I know that deep down, she's probably not over

0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:41.200
<v Speaker 1>the situation because you spent the whole time in there

0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:46.000
<v Speaker 1>investing in someone else. But I think maybe you had

0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:49.000
<v Speaker 1>the rose colored glasses on maybe a little bit. But

0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:51.480
<v Speaker 1>at the same time, like if someone's telling you something,

0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:53.159
<v Speaker 1>of course you're going to be like, yeah, I'm all

0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:55.840
<v Speaker 1>into and you're zero to one hundred. So like, it's

0:17:55.880 --> 0:17:57.600
<v Speaker 1>also not a shock to me that you were like,

0:17:57.680 --> 0:17:59.679
<v Speaker 1>let's give this red hot crack.

0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:01.359
<v Speaker 2>Even on the so I just wanted like a bit

0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:04.320
<v Speaker 2>of time to give it a go. But she wasn't interested.

0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:05.000
<v Speaker 1>She wasn't keen.

0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:06.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she wasn't keen. I wanted to at least give

0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:09.119
<v Speaker 2>it like one trip and see what we could do,

0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:11.080
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean. Yeah, Oh well it is

0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:13.840
<v Speaker 2>what it is. I mean I eventually like got over it.

0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:16.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but you were sad about it for a bit,

0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:17.479
<v Speaker 1>for a little bit.

0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:18.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that was pretty sad.

0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:22.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's a tough one. When you watch the show back, Matt,

0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:27.639
<v Speaker 1>do you think it was an accurate representation of what happened? Like,

0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:31.760
<v Speaker 1>was it fully edited or was what you saw actually

0:18:31.880 --> 0:18:32.760
<v Speaker 1>what happened in there?

0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:35.879
<v Speaker 2>I think it was pretty bang on for my story

0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:39.560
<v Speaker 2>of what happened. I mean, obviously I went through like

0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:42.680
<v Speaker 2>an emotional rollercational that sort of stuff. I mean, that's

0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:45.600
<v Speaker 2>probably one bit I feel was a bit more produced.

0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:48.840
<v Speaker 2>Was the whole Jordan and Owen situation with me. I

0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:51.159
<v Speaker 2>think that was a bit heavily produced, like the bro

0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:53.160
<v Speaker 2>code sort of thing. They saw something and they jumped

0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:57.160
<v Speaker 2>on it there. But again, Owen did pull a swifty

0:18:57.200 --> 0:19:00.159
<v Speaker 2>of me, but they obviously played it up a lot

0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:03.560
<v Speaker 2>more for the storyline. But apart from that, I think, yeah,

0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:06.080
<v Speaker 2>everything that happened with me was pretty bang on. Yeah,

0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:08.560
<v Speaker 2>what about yourself, do you think your story was told

0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:09.760
<v Speaker 2>the right way.

0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:13.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean most of the things that happened was

0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:17.399
<v Speaker 1>pretty well told. When I watched the season back, I

0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:22.119
<v Speaker 1>think watching it back, I realized that if the producers

0:19:22.400 --> 0:19:25.760
<v Speaker 1>wanted you to come across really well, you did. So

0:19:25.800 --> 0:19:28.720
<v Speaker 1>there were specific people, and there's a lot of them

0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:35.440
<v Speaker 1>who some of the good parts of their personality were

0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:37.879
<v Speaker 1>the only things that were shown. And then there was

0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:41.120
<v Speaker 1>other people who got a really bad edit and they

0:19:41.200 --> 0:19:44.440
<v Speaker 1>just took one small aspect of their personality that wasn't

0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:47.200
<v Speaker 1>that nice and missed out all of the great stuff.

0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:50.720
<v Speaker 1>And I mean, I just think no one's perfect. We

0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:54.159
<v Speaker 1>all have good and bad and I think to be

0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:58.080
<v Speaker 1>represented as solely the bad parts of your personality or

0:19:58.200 --> 0:20:01.800
<v Speaker 1>solely the good parts of your persononality is not an

0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:03.160
<v Speaker 1>accurate representation.

0:20:03.400 --> 0:20:05.120
<v Speaker 2>So how I explain it to people when they ask

0:20:05.160 --> 0:20:08.720
<v Speaker 2>about that where you represented the right way? I say, Look,

0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:11.520
<v Speaker 2>at one time, there's twelve people in a house. How

0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:12.639
<v Speaker 2>long does an episode run for?

0:20:13.280 --> 0:20:13.720
<v Speaker 1>An hour?

0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:16.800
<v Speaker 2>An hour? So what's that divided by sixty minutes divided

0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:20.520
<v Speaker 2>by twelve people plus other bits? Right, plus challenges all

0:20:20.560 --> 0:20:23.159
<v Speaker 2>that they can only hone into one bit of your

0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:26.000
<v Speaker 2>personality to show that, because you're getting what three minutes

0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:28.960
<v Speaker 2>of air time to like four minutes in an episode,

0:20:29.200 --> 0:20:32.040
<v Speaker 2>So like, you could be like funny, you could be charming,

0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:33.679
<v Speaker 2>you could be like sensitive, you could be like all

0:20:33.720 --> 0:20:35.800
<v Speaker 2>this sort of stuff, but they only have enough time

0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:38.639
<v Speaker 2>to show one bit of your personality for that episode,

0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:41.040
<v Speaker 2>so they have to pick what one it is and

0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:43.840
<v Speaker 2>run with it. So for me example, at the start,

0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:47.760
<v Speaker 2>I was the emotional guy, right, and then they realized, wait,

0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:50.439
<v Speaker 2>this guy's got more layers to him. Let's show the

0:20:50.480 --> 0:20:53.160
<v Speaker 2>other sides, like the funny side, all this sort of stuff,

0:20:53.160 --> 0:20:55.480
<v Speaker 2>which I was doing the whole time I was in there.

0:20:55.280 --> 0:20:57.280
<v Speaker 1>But it only got shown as it.

0:20:57.280 --> 0:20:59.119
<v Speaker 2>Progressed as they progress and they realized, do you know

0:20:59.160 --> 0:21:00.800
<v Speaker 2>what I mean, Like, let's show more of this guy?

0:21:00.920 --> 0:21:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Because yeah, as human beings were all very multifaceted,

0:21:04.640 --> 0:21:07.440
<v Speaker 1>and I guess when you go onto a reality TV show,

0:21:07.480 --> 0:21:10.360
<v Speaker 1>you have to be mindful that a part of your

0:21:10.359 --> 0:21:12.680
<v Speaker 1>personality that you might not be proud of it or

0:21:12.760 --> 0:21:15.959
<v Speaker 1>might not like could be zoned in on and that

0:21:15.960 --> 0:21:18.040
<v Speaker 1>can make you feel really insecure. I know that a

0:21:18.040 --> 0:21:20.680
<v Speaker 1>lot of people came out of the show, pretty much

0:21:20.760 --> 0:21:24.960
<v Speaker 1>everyone with really big mental health issues, and you know,

0:21:25.040 --> 0:21:28.680
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't good, Like everyone was struggling. Everyone. There wasn't

0:21:28.720 --> 0:21:32.280
<v Speaker 1>one person who went into Love Island season two that

0:21:32.400 --> 0:21:34.919
<v Speaker 1>I know of that didn't come out and have some

0:21:35.000 --> 0:21:36.919
<v Speaker 1>mental health issues after the show.

0:21:37.760 --> 0:21:41.240
<v Speaker 2>So, for instance, Maurice, he was portrayed.

0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:43.879
<v Speaker 1>As really badly on the show. He didn't get a

0:21:43.920 --> 0:21:44.800
<v Speaker 1>good edit.

0:21:45.400 --> 0:21:47.919
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I never clicked with the bloke. I couldn't.

0:21:47.920 --> 0:21:49.399
<v Speaker 2>I found him very hard to talk to you, so

0:21:49.400 --> 0:21:50.920
<v Speaker 2>I didn't have much time with.

0:21:50.960 --> 0:21:53.639
<v Speaker 1>Him, whereas I did click with him. The way I

0:21:53.680 --> 0:21:56.800
<v Speaker 1>saw Maurice is like he was a very grounded, wholesome,

0:21:57.000 --> 0:21:59.840
<v Speaker 1>kind guy, and then there was this other side to

0:21:59.880 --> 0:22:02.560
<v Speaker 1>a personality that I didn't even get to see firsthand

0:22:02.600 --> 0:22:06.720
<v Speaker 1>from knowing him, that he was kind of like maybe

0:22:06.720 --> 0:22:08.360
<v Speaker 1>that he got his back up a little bit if

0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:10.280
<v Speaker 1>someone didn't like him, like Jesse didn't really like him,

0:22:10.320 --> 0:22:11.840
<v Speaker 1>and he got his back up a bit and maybe

0:22:11.960 --> 0:22:14.479
<v Speaker 1>didn't say the right thing, but they just zoned in

0:22:14.520 --> 0:22:17.280
<v Speaker 1>on that, or like they made a big deal out

0:22:17.320 --> 0:22:20.520
<v Speaker 1>of the fact that he had a girlfriend before the show,

0:22:20.640 --> 0:22:23.119
<v Speaker 1>But actually what happened is he broke up with his

0:22:23.160 --> 0:22:26.440
<v Speaker 1>girlfriend because he wasn't happy in the relationship and then

0:22:26.480 --> 0:22:28.560
<v Speaker 1>decided to go on Love Island. And let me tell you,

0:22:29.040 --> 0:22:33.000
<v Speaker 1>we've spoken about this. Every single person who was on

0:22:33.119 --> 0:22:38.080
<v Speaker 1>Love Island was seeing someone before they came into Lover.

0:22:38.840 --> 0:22:40.520
<v Speaker 1>We're all single, of course, we.

0:22:40.440 --> 0:22:44.399
<v Speaker 2>Are always seeing sleeping, dating and whatever you want to

0:22:44.400 --> 0:22:46.960
<v Speaker 2>call it. Like with someone it might not be official obviously,

0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:50.159
<v Speaker 2>because you can't be taken to on the show. Everyone

0:22:50.240 --> 0:22:51.879
<v Speaker 2>was seeing someone before that went on that show.

0:22:52.080 --> 0:22:54.639
<v Speaker 1>If Maurice has broken up with his girlfriend to go

0:22:54.760 --> 0:22:56.639
<v Speaker 1>on the show, I guess that's a little bit of

0:22:56.640 --> 0:22:59.520
<v Speaker 1>a different story. But then at the same time, like

0:22:59.800 --> 0:23:03.359
<v Speaker 1>this girl was like posting YouTube videos and like she

0:23:03.480 --> 0:23:06.560
<v Speaker 1>saw it opportunity, she saw her opportunity. I mean, look,

0:23:06.640 --> 0:23:10.600
<v Speaker 1>I just think they really portrayed him in a negative light.

0:23:10.800 --> 0:23:12.879
<v Speaker 1>If that was me and I had been portrayed in

0:23:12.880 --> 0:23:15.320
<v Speaker 1>that way, I would have been so upset.

0:23:15.560 --> 0:23:16.960
<v Speaker 2>That was the one thing my old man said to

0:23:16.960 --> 0:23:19.000
<v Speaker 2>me before I went on. He's like, are you, like,

0:23:19.240 --> 0:23:20.560
<v Speaker 2>why are they going to make you look to be

0:23:20.600 --> 0:23:23.639
<v Speaker 2>a dickhead? And I was like, well, no, I said,

0:23:24.200 --> 0:23:26.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm not a dickhead. I'm not an asshole. I was like,

0:23:26.520 --> 0:23:28.680
<v Speaker 2>if they can get enough content of me, to make

0:23:28.720 --> 0:23:30.960
<v Speaker 2>me look like that, well, then I deserve it. But

0:23:31.000 --> 0:23:32.760
<v Speaker 2>I was like, I know who I am, I know

0:23:32.800 --> 0:23:34.720
<v Speaker 2>what I'm about, so I'll be fine when I go on.

0:23:34.760 --> 0:23:36.480
<v Speaker 1>That's what I thought. I was like, I feel like

0:23:36.560 --> 0:23:39.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm a good person to my core. Yeah, if I

0:23:39.119 --> 0:23:41.840
<v Speaker 1>lose my mind one too many times, that's on me.

0:23:42.960 --> 0:23:45.400
<v Speaker 2>I definitely lost my mind a couple of times in there.

0:23:45.840 --> 0:23:48.159
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, So, I mean, there was two things that

0:23:48.280 --> 0:23:51.800
<v Speaker 1>happened where I felt like it wasn't really a true

0:23:51.880 --> 0:23:54.960
<v Speaker 1>reflection of what happened. The first one was there was

0:23:55.040 --> 0:24:00.000
<v Speaker 1>three girls and we got to choose to send either you,

0:24:00.240 --> 0:24:06.080
<v Speaker 1>oh when Jared all Maurice home. Yeah, and we all

0:24:06.160 --> 0:24:10.119
<v Speaker 1>chose to send Jared home, and the producers basically said,

0:24:11.440 --> 0:24:12.879
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that's the right choice.

0:24:13.119 --> 0:24:15.040
<v Speaker 2>This was the night when we were up till like

0:24:15.119 --> 0:24:17.359
<v Speaker 2>four am, we're doing that ceremony.

0:24:17.400 --> 0:24:21.400
<v Speaker 1>It was brutal, Yeah, and the producers we were very sleepy,

0:24:21.640 --> 0:24:23.720
<v Speaker 1>and I pretty much stuck to my guns and I

0:24:23.760 --> 0:24:25.679
<v Speaker 1>was like, no, we want to send Jared home. It

0:24:25.760 --> 0:24:28.040
<v Speaker 1>was a two by one like me and Cathy wanted

0:24:28.080 --> 0:24:32.520
<v Speaker 1>to send Jared home, and Carty wanted to send Maurice home,

0:24:32.560 --> 0:24:35.560
<v Speaker 1>and in the end because we were so exhausted from

0:24:35.600 --> 0:24:38.760
<v Speaker 1>the show, we ended up just saying okay, fine, like

0:24:38.760 --> 0:24:40.960
<v Speaker 1>we'll send Maurice home, Like that's what you guys want.

0:24:41.359 --> 0:24:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't seem like we got We're going to be staying

0:24:43.840 --> 0:24:47.280
<v Speaker 1>here up all night, put us to bed, and let

0:24:47.359 --> 0:24:49.880
<v Speaker 1>us move on with life. And honestly, I felt really

0:24:49.880 --> 0:24:52.680
<v Speaker 1>bad when Maurice went home because that wasn't our choice,

0:24:53.240 --> 0:24:56.920
<v Speaker 1>that was the production company's choice. And then the second thing,

0:24:57.600 --> 0:24:58.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't.

0:24:57.880 --> 0:24:59.720
<v Speaker 2>Even remember that Marie. I was too busy.

0:24:59.720 --> 0:25:07.479
<v Speaker 1>Crime The second thing that I felt like was a

0:25:07.480 --> 0:25:14.000
<v Speaker 1>misrepresentation was just before the finale, the producer came up

0:25:14.040 --> 0:25:16.960
<v Speaker 1>to Josh and said, we're gonna ask you if you

0:25:17.000 --> 0:25:20.760
<v Speaker 1>love Anna in the finale, just so you know, like

0:25:20.840 --> 0:25:25.280
<v Speaker 1>we think you that you do love her. Yeah, And

0:25:26.440 --> 0:25:28.879
<v Speaker 1>I guess it was kind of just implying that, like

0:25:28.920 --> 0:25:31.280
<v Speaker 1>it would be good for the show and the ratings

0:25:32.040 --> 0:25:34.960
<v Speaker 1>if he told me he loved me in the finale episode.

0:25:35.240 --> 0:25:38.680
<v Speaker 1>And so basically we were in here and makeup before

0:25:39.040 --> 0:25:41.840
<v Speaker 1>we filmed the finale. Is it finale? I don't know

0:25:41.840 --> 0:25:42.880
<v Speaker 1>if I'm saying right.

0:25:42.960 --> 0:25:43.720
<v Speaker 2>Don't ask me.

0:25:45.480 --> 0:25:48.240
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, And yeah, we were in here and makeup, and

0:25:48.320 --> 0:25:51.720
<v Speaker 1>Josh pulled me aside and said, Hey, Anna, I just

0:25:51.760 --> 0:25:54.240
<v Speaker 1>want you to know that I love you. And I

0:25:54.280 --> 0:25:56.760
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh, like, I love you too, and he's like,

0:25:57.119 --> 0:25:59.920
<v Speaker 1>just so you know, the producers are going to ask

0:26:00.119 --> 0:26:03.959
<v Speaker 1>me when we film the final episode, and I'm going

0:26:04.040 --> 0:26:06.240
<v Speaker 1>to say I love you, but I just wanted to

0:26:06.280 --> 0:26:09.640
<v Speaker 1>say it privately first to you before I basically said

0:26:09.680 --> 0:26:13.040
<v Speaker 1>it on national television, so I guess from a public

0:26:13.080 --> 0:26:16.400
<v Speaker 1>perspective watching it, he told me he loved me on air,

0:26:16.480 --> 0:26:19.520
<v Speaker 1>but actually he had told me an hour prior, so

0:26:19.560 --> 0:26:20.160
<v Speaker 1>it was that the.

0:26:20.160 --> 0:26:22.840
<v Speaker 2>Hair and makeup before we went out to the finale. Yep, Yeah,

0:26:22.960 --> 0:26:33.040
<v Speaker 2>everyone's a bit pissed on Champagne. I remember that, all right, guys.
