Speaker 3: he did. I actually don't care what he did. I
Speaker 3: don't care. I really don't care. I really don't care.

Speaker 3: still there. I'd be there too. He's in Woollongong. She's
Speaker 3: in Vegas. Oh, I know what, I'd prefer to stay Vegas.
Speaker 3: So he's been here for two years and he's trying
Speaker 3: to work out how am I going to get back there?
Speaker 3: So he had this amazing idea, like amazing idea. I'll
Speaker 3: go and marry at First Sight, and when I go
Speaker 3: on there, I'm going to drop a bombshell. I'm going
Speaker 3: to tell directors and producers, let's bring my wife in
Speaker 3: because I love my wife. I want my wife bringer in.
Speaker 3: It's going to make a great, great show. Now. He
Speaker 3: said all of this on camera. He said all of
Speaker 3: this on the commitment ceremony, which one can the one
Speaker 3: that they didn't show obviously, the first commitment ceremony. When
Speaker 3: I sat at the first CC ladies, I thank The
Speaker 3: first thing I did was thank everyone, production, directors, film crew,
Speaker 3: everyone for the best wedding ever. Sorry, my wedding was
Speaker 3: better than yours.
Speaker 1: You have no idea.
Speaker 3: It was so magical, everything I wanted. I've never felt
Speaker 3: like that in my life. My kids, my beautiful friends,
Speaker 3: they all cried because it was just so I'm going
Speaker 3: to get goosebumps in so real. It was so I
Speaker 3: thank production for that. They they gave me everything I wanted.
Speaker 3: And then it wasn't no, like literally within hours, within hours.
Speaker 3: It all started with I didn't order a fifty seven
Speaker 3: year old. Okay, I'm too old. Here's a repulse by that.
Speaker 3: You know what, I don't really care. That's fine. You're
Speaker 3: repulse by me because I'm old. That's okay. You're entitled
Speaker 3: to have your checklist. So I really thought that was
Speaker 3: my bombshell. We get to the honeymoon the next day.
Speaker 3: Did you see the honeymoon on air?
Speaker 4: Where did you guys even go?
Speaker 3: Oh, darling, it doesn't matter. I owned it. That's why
Speaker 3: there's no footage. Oh, how did Modena ruin it? We
Speaker 3: see that the commit at the honesty box.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that, which was so.
Speaker 3: As soon as we arrived to our honeymoon, the first
Speaker 3: thing we did was try and light the fire because
Speaker 3: it was freezing mm hmm. And from that, get ready Morenna,
Speaker 3: you're going on a date. Oh okay, and it said,
Speaker 3: you know, we're going to go to the restaurant. They
Speaker 3: close up the restaurant. I felt like Lady Gaga. It
Speaker 3: was amazing. I did. I felt like wow, look like wow,
Speaker 3: what an experience. As we got there, we sat, we
Speaker 3: were miked up. He said, Modnna, I have to tell
Speaker 3: you something, and they told me I have to tell
Speaker 3: you now. Oh and straight away. I thought, okay, so
Speaker 3: it mustn't be the age thing. They told him. You
Speaker 3: have to tell me now, I thought, okay, here's bombshell
Speaker 3: number two. We sit over the box and he says
Speaker 3: I'm married. I just went sorry, no, no, no, nothing
Speaker 3: came out of my mouth. The wine just sat here.
Speaker 3: I remember it as if it was happening right now.
Speaker 3: I took a sip of the wine because I thought,
Speaker 3: don't talk, don't talk, don't talk, camera, camera, camera, camera,
Speaker 3: because are you going to say anything. I swallowed my
Speaker 3: wine and I said, you mean you're separated, because people
Speaker 3: under pressure can say the wrong thing. Hecause, no, I'm married.
Speaker 3: God bless my producer, Jane your gold. She then comes in, okay, guys,
Speaker 3: can you move it along? And I looked at her
Speaker 3: and I said, move what along? We're not going to
Speaker 3: talk about that anymore. Can you just reset and can
Speaker 3: we just go on with the box. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 3: He's just Tommy, he's married. And I got clarification, Jimmy,
Speaker 3: you're separating. No, I'm not separated. I'm married. I love
Speaker 3: my wife. I want my wife, so that holy crap.
Speaker 3: That okay, Marina, don't talk all I did was no, Jane,
Speaker 3: you don't want to talk about this situation. Well, I'm
Speaker 3: not done. So I went on and I went on
Speaker 3: and I went on and I went on, and all
Speaker 3: I got from my producer you are ruining filming time,
Speaker 3: am I? Well, why don't you take me right out
Speaker 3: of this equation because I'm happy to go home? Wow,
Speaker 3: And it just got worse and worse and worse. Day
Speaker 3: two ruined the confession box. So that wasn't shown was that,
Speaker 3: of course, day two, we're going to set up a
Speaker 3: date for you, and you're going to go on a date.
Speaker 3: And I said, what with the married man? Stop saying that.
Speaker 3: Stop talking? So that stopped talking. Started from there. He
Speaker 3: would say to the producer, you said that we're not
Speaker 3: going to talk about it anymore. And she'd say, well,
Speaker 3: I can't help that she's going on about it. I said,
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, guys, I'm right here. I am going to
Speaker 3: go on about it. I'm so sorry. I need to
Speaker 3: understand what the hell's going on. I expected to be
Speaker 3: matched with an idiot. I expected to be matched with
Speaker 3: someone who was not attracted to me. I was expected
Speaker 3: to be matched with somebody who potentially had bad breath.
Speaker 4: I have all these scenarios, but never I'm married.
Speaker 3: Never what I got. So anyway, okay, I agreed, Okay,
Speaker 3: let's have a date. And I said I'm not going
Speaker 3: anywhere though, okaying anywhere with him? That was my attitude.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. Yeah. So we sit downstairs by the pool
Speaker 3: and we get a beautiful cheese platter. It was a
Speaker 3: tower and all I want to do is eat? Can
Speaker 3: you stop eating? Sorry? Is it hurting your mic? Because
Speaker 3: that's what it was doing, you know, because the mic
Speaker 3: was there and it's like, stop chewing. Anyway, and we
Speaker 3: sit down, said so, Tony, we need to take off.
Speaker 3: We need to continue from where we left off yesterday.
Speaker 3: He cracked it. You said we weren't going to talk
Speaker 3: about it anymore. Who said that. I don't know what
Speaker 3: you're doing here, but you're matched here with me. You
Speaker 3: need to explain to me what's going on? He said. Look,
Speaker 3: he just keeps saying, I'm sorry. I go. Do you
Speaker 3: understand you've taken up the space of somebody who potentially
Speaker 3: could have really been looking for someone? Why are you here?
Speaker 3: He goes? I want fun? You want fun? He goes, yeah,
Speaker 3: and you're no fun. I'm not am I. No, no,
Speaker 3: I'm actually not. But this is what you've done to me.
Speaker 3: You've automatically shut me down before I even begin. Did
Speaker 3: you see the wedding day? How amazing it was. That's
Speaker 3: me to a tee. Now, I'm a human being. I
Speaker 3: don't act. I'm not an actress. I wasn't there since
Speaker 3: the cameras come on to go, okay, the cameras are on. No,
Speaker 3: that wasn't me. If I was angry, I was really angry.
Speaker 3: If I was sad, I was sad. If I was happy,
Speaker 3: I was really happy. So he said, I just wanted
Speaker 3: a holiday. I wanted my nephew. I wanted my nephew
Speaker 3: to know what it's like to run the charter business
Speaker 3: on his own, to realize how important I am. And
Speaker 3: he goes, and I've really thought I could get my
Speaker 3: wife in there, And I said, your wife from where?
Speaker 3: Like I was so confused. Well then I understood very quickly.
Speaker 3: He really did believe he could get her in because
Speaker 3: he can't get to her.
Speaker 1: Wow, have you spoken to her since?
Speaker 3: Or why would I want to speak to her? It's
Speaker 3: got nothing to do with her. Yeah, Now I think
Speaker 3: it was yesterday because I don't look at all this
Speaker 3: rubbish it's going on the internet. It's hilarious. I just laugh.
Speaker 3: In fact, the more I'm getting from viewers, the more
Speaker 3: it's fueling me for positiveness. It's not doing whatever these
Speaker 3: viewers are trying to do to me. I just thank them,
Speaker 3: I really do. You're not going to break me with
Speaker 3: words sitting behind a computer.
Speaker 4: It's a great attitude to have. I think it can
Speaker 4: be hard when it's so.
Speaker 2: I think every year it gets worse and worse with
Speaker 2: what people say.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the TikTok video is how aggressive it gets.
Speaker 2: So it's actually so great that you have that like mentality. Yeah,
Speaker 2: mindset when it comes to it, because it's hard. I
Speaker 2: can't even imagine what it'd be like in that position.
Speaker 3: Honey, it's very easy. You're talking out of your rear end.
Speaker 3: Why would I be? You don't know me, Why would
Speaker 3: I be? Why would I care what you're saying or
Speaker 3: what you're thinking? Kink bring Yeah, love it, but I
Speaker 3: mean it. I've truly mean it. Now are the days
Speaker 3: where I just think, wow, why of course I do?
Speaker 3: I think. I think I've got a heart and veins
Speaker 3: and blood. I'm human. When I see my kids upset. Hey, guys,
Speaker 3: you're crossing the line. My kids are My kids are divine.
Speaker 3: My son's got a disability. Back off, I'll killed for
Speaker 3: my kids. You've crossed the line. Yeah, for sure. So
Speaker 3: that's what I've got to say to you, is it's okay.
Speaker 3: If you don't like me, you don't have to like me.
Speaker 3: But realize that this is entertainment. I actually didn't realize
Speaker 3: that I really believed that I was going into something.
Speaker 3: This is what I believed. I believed I was going
Speaker 3: to go into this experiment. I'm divorced because I've messed
Speaker 3: up in life. Because if I didn't mess up, i'd
Speaker 3: still be married. Okay, when there's a divorce, it takes two.
Speaker 3: That's just one to get to a divorce. So I thought, now, okay,
Speaker 3: by going on to this show, I'm going to have
Speaker 3: I call them puppeteers because that's what they are. They're
Speaker 3: not experts, they're hilarious. I really thought that they were
Speaker 3: going to give me strategies on whatever's going on in
Speaker 3: our marriage. Even though it's a pretend marriage. Viewers, it's
Speaker 3: a pretend marriage. It's not real. Can you see I'm single,
Speaker 3: very single. So I thought that whatever we encounter, now
Speaker 3: for me to be in an experiment and to be
Speaker 3: in a to share. I've never lived with anyone except
Speaker 3: for my ex husband. Wow, like I thought, Wow, that's
Speaker 3: going to be amazing. And then no matter what he is,
Speaker 3: I want to learn how to adapt to personalities problems.
Speaker 3: Have I said something in the wrong tone? Teach me?
Speaker 3: But I was wrong. They wanted me aggressive, so they
Speaker 3: threw all these scenarios at me behind the scenes. I
Speaker 3: mean they called me cunt.
Speaker 2: What as ah your juices?
Speaker 3: All the experts, Oh yeah, we won't even mention names
Speaker 3: because you know what. You know who you are and
Speaker 3: you ought to be ashamed of yourself. But you know
Speaker 3: what did they get? Aggression out of me? Tones out
Speaker 3: of me? Hell yeah? But you get cornered in a
Speaker 3: corner and you get told you don't do this and
Speaker 3: you will never work in Australia again. Holy shit. You
Speaker 3: don't get to do that to a decent human being
Speaker 3: who's turned her life around. It's taken me seven years
Speaker 3: to get to where I am today. This is not
Speaker 3: what I signed up for. So you think now you're
Speaker 3: going to break me? All the best keep going. All
Speaker 3: you're doing is inspiring me to help others have courage,
Speaker 3: stand up for yourself, even though you might be different
Speaker 3: to everyone else. I don't want to yell at you.
Speaker 3: I don't want to carry on with you. But in
Speaker 3: that environment, after being locked up, I was always the
Speaker 3: longest in the tent. Always it was the tents were
Speaker 3: the honey honey girls. I was in there. It was daytime.
Speaker 3: I came out at night. I'm thinking, am I in space?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 3: The time? Is it legit? Pitch black?
Speaker 1: No, No, you don't have to tell us.
Speaker 3: We've been through it.
Speaker 4: We lived and breathed, and we get you.
Speaker 2: We understand it's a lot, especially if you're the last one.
Speaker 2: Was the last one only once out of the however
Speaker 2: many weeks, And it was like and I knew it
Speaker 2: was like kind of punishment for something that happened that
Speaker 2: my partner had done. And I knew that they were
Speaker 2: like punishing us for what he did. And I was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: this is like this is a reaction to something he's
Speaker 2: done that's pissed them off, and now we have to
Speaker 2: like suffer by like being dragged out for this.
Speaker 4: I just knew. I just knew that's how it worked.
Speaker 3: It's interesting from what I saw from my from my perspective,
Speaker 3: they look at you, they look at you, and they go,
Speaker 3: we're going to roll the dice and we're going to
Speaker 3: give it to you. You're good, We're going to give
Speaker 3: it to you, no reason, no reason. I remember being
Speaker 3: on the couch at every CC give it to her.
Speaker 3: She's going to crack. Give it to her, and I'm
Speaker 3: sitting there and thought, I'm not going to crack. I
Speaker 3: only cried once. That's because they mentioned my daughter.
Speaker 2: How you know what this is such interesting insight. When Alyssa,
Speaker 2: I don't know, if you watch my season, they would
Speaker 2: mention her son and then she would start crying, and
Speaker 2: the edit her reaction to something else. Yes, so I
Speaker 2: wouldn't be surprised if we watched that and her being
Speaker 2: brought up is actually not shown, but your reactions then
Speaker 2: matched in with something else.
Speaker 3: Can I tell you what happened on that scenario. And
Speaker 3: it's really important to show viewers. Hey, when my scene
Speaker 3: is up, they've either got me on the side. They've
Speaker 3: either got me on a frame where I don't move.
Speaker 3: My editing is so bad because all they had to
Speaker 3: go with me, is she talks too much? He's bored.
Speaker 3: I was thinking you had such good bombshells with me.
Speaker 3: I don't get it. See what Tim and Katie spot on.
Speaker 3: They got their story out, and I feel for Tim.
Speaker 3: He's still somebody's loved one. And I said to him, sweetheart,
Speaker 3: you can't talk like that. Now. That's a big lesson
Speaker 3: for him to learn, and I hope he's learned that
Speaker 3: you cannot talk to anyone like It's okay if you
Speaker 3: don't like what you see. We've all got checklists, but
Speaker 3: you don't have mine. But you know what they showed
Speaker 3: it for how it was. There was nothing exaggerated. There
Speaker 3: was nothing they showed it for how it was. Why
Speaker 3: was I denied that? That's what's maybe up to say
Speaker 3: the fact that I've got the crown this year the
Speaker 3: villain bring it on. Not many women can say on
Speaker 3: the villain. I'm happy. I don't care about my edit.
Speaker 3: I signed up with that, but I thought that they
Speaker 3: would really show why I'm reactive. So let's go to
Speaker 3: my tears on the couch, because you're only going to
Speaker 3: get it once. He calls me an s l ut?
Speaker 4: Why who even uses.
Speaker 3: That word any more No no, no girls.
Speaker 4: Is crazy girls girls. Tony. Sorry, Tony says this to you.
Speaker 3: God, God bless him. And you know how we always
Speaker 3: had to put on our outfits and then we had
Speaker 3: to get him improved. Yes, So the outfit that I
Speaker 3: got approved was a gorgeous brown dress. You're going to
Speaker 3: see it on the sea six cause when I was
Speaker 3: wearing at the CC, I just know that I just
Speaker 3: finished throwing up. So when you see me, I've just
Speaker 3: finished thrown up, and that is cheap. Nobody even noticed,
Speaker 3: no one, and that's what upsets me. Nobody noticed the
Speaker 3: amount of weight I lost from the start of the
Speaker 3: show to the end. Nobody knows I was invisible. But
Speaker 3: that's okay. So I come back with my up and
Speaker 3: I said, Tony, can you take a photo of this?
Speaker 3: He goes, oh, because she got the look of an
Speaker 3: s l u T. And I said, what did you say?
Speaker 3: What did you just say? You can call me whatever
Speaker 3: you want, as long as it's got some truth behind it,
Speaker 3: I'll get you around.
Speaker 1: When this happened, set.
Speaker 3: It in front of a producer, oh my god, and
Speaker 3: I looked at her and she goes, oh my god, Modena,
Speaker 3: you're about to fume, and I said, no, not at
Speaker 3: all talk to him because I don't want to look
Speaker 3: at him anyway. I walk away. She had a chat
Speaker 3: to him. He came and apologized to me. Sorry that
Speaker 3: apologies up your rear end when somebody has to tell you. Anyway.
Speaker 3: When we got to the commitment ceremony, I said to them,
Speaker 3: I sat there, I've waited a whole week to ask
Speaker 3: the three of you, how does a woman or a
Speaker 3: man deal with being called something? Madnna? What would you called?
Speaker 3: She had such a sweet voice on camera anyway, and
Speaker 3: I said, he said tonight, based on what I'm wearing,
Speaker 3: and I've got boots on. You'll see what I'm wearing
Speaker 3: when I wear it. I've got the look of a slut.
Speaker 3: What does Alessandro do? Bless you, darling your gold as well.
Speaker 3: Hope no one ever does this to you. Are you triggered, Morena? Morena?
Speaker 3: Are you triggered? You look very teary, Morena? What's going
Speaker 3: on in your.
Speaker 1: What an odd thing to say?
Speaker 3: No, it's not odd because they want a reaction and
Speaker 3: they're they're not going to show. They're not going to
Speaker 3: show what he called me. Because the dinner party of
Speaker 3: the night before that was brought up at the dinner
Speaker 3: table and one of the beautiful young young girls who
Speaker 3: the whole world loves her and I'm not mentioning her
Speaker 3: name because she'll be destroyed if they do show it.
Speaker 3: She said, get over it, big deal. He called you
Speaker 3: an slut. I wish my husband would call me an
Speaker 3: slut and slap me on the butt while he's saying it.
Speaker 3: Because of your age, you don't understand the terminology. I said, what, No, no, okay,
Speaker 3: what she said it means you're hot.
Speaker 4: No, it does not. It's a geogratory.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Time. No, I just said, stop talking. So I
Speaker 3: said to her, stop talking. She's my daughter's age. You're
Speaker 3: going to be wrong. Stop talking. She knows who she is.
Speaker 3: You ought to be ashamed of yourself. So nobody ever
Speaker 3: stuck up for or never, no one ever put Tony
Speaker 3: in place at the commitment ceremony. I'm not going to
Speaker 3: be shown, honey, No, won't be shore. So I started
Speaker 3: crying because I looked at Tony and I said, no
Speaker 3: one has ever made me look or feel the way
Speaker 3: you have in such a short time. And he turned
Speaker 3: around and said, you liar. Your ex husband has, I said, no, no,
Speaker 3: he has. My ex husband did a lot of things,
Speaker 3: but he never called me an slut. He called my
Speaker 3: daughter that twice. And that's when I started crying. And
Speaker 3: then I stood up at the commitment ceremony. I said, right,
Speaker 3: are you all going to be sharing that now about
Speaker 3: my daughter? And I said, Tara, I looked at that wall,
Speaker 3: Tara John Alex, get out here, get out here, now,
Speaker 3: come come and talk to me. Come are they going
Speaker 3: to show that now? No? All they're going to show
Speaker 3: it's my tears because I cried and off camera obviously.
Speaker 3: I go back to my room that night when I
Speaker 3: ring up my daughter and I said, my darling, I'm
Speaker 3: really sorry your name got mentioned. You know what she
Speaker 3: said to me, don't be mum. She goes, did you lie?
Speaker 3: I said, no, she goes, Dad did call me that twice.
Speaker 3: Now you've seen my daughter, you've seen her. She's just beautiful.
Speaker 3: She's far from it. So she said Dad will have
Speaker 3: to put his head down and be ashamed of what
Speaker 3: he called me. And I said, I'm so proud of you.
Speaker 3: That's what made me cry. So how are they going
Speaker 3: to edit that? Yeah, we shall see.
Speaker 2: Anyone else from your from obviously watching the show that
Speaker 2: you feel like is being portrayed badly or better than
Speaker 2: what they were.
Speaker 3: From your experience. Billy's getting a good edit. Yeah really okay,
Speaker 3: And good on you, Billy. Okay, so happy for you.
Speaker 4: What about Sierra?
Speaker 3: I don't know why they're protecting her, but there's something
Speaker 3: going on there. Good for you, Sierra, Okay? Who else?
Speaker 1: What about Ree and Jeff?
Speaker 3: They're the only two that I was actually rooting for
Speaker 3: because they at least had something real in the real world.
Speaker 3: Remember this is the pretend world. And now the fact
Speaker 3: that they're back in there and they've got a chance,
Speaker 3: I'm really happy for them. Okay, But they just wanted
Speaker 3: to sit on the fence.
Speaker 2: Yep, So I'm not going to hate.
Speaker 3: Look, you've got to live with what what you do
Speaker 3: or what you don't do. Now, by you speaking up,
Speaker 3: you could actually save a life, and by you not
Speaker 3: speaking up, you can actually push someone over the edge.
Speaker 3: Why would you want to be that person? I'm just
Speaker 3: going to sit on the fence because the camera's on.
Speaker 3: Tony is a good example. He's getting a graded. He
Speaker 3: actually believes his edit. Okay, I actually don't care about
Speaker 3: my edit. I was there, Yeah, now to edit Katie. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but honey, that was true.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what about Jackie, she's copying it, I know.
Speaker 2: Honestly, I'm like, Jackie is the best TV I've ever seen, chaotic,
Speaker 2: raw emotion.
Speaker 3: I love her.
Speaker 4: I think she's absolutely gold.
Speaker 2: Do you do you think like it's really confusing to
Speaker 2: watch because it's very like crying, stop crying upset about something?
Speaker 2: Not upset about something? What's your what's your thoughts on that?
Speaker 3: They're cutting to those points. Okay, they're going from tears
Speaker 3: and then they'll show which happened five hours later, where
Speaker 3: she's I'm good that didn't happen.
Speaker 1: But there was this one scene where Athena pulled aside
Speaker 1: and said, hey, this is not your wedding. Let's be
Speaker 1: a bit more respectful, and she would cry, was stripping
Speaker 1: down her face, poor thing, and then she was up.
Speaker 1: She wiped her tears.
Speaker 3: Do you remember girls being in that hot pot?
Speaker 1: Of course, of course, respectfully, I'm not saying no, no.
Speaker 1: That didn't look like a cut scene. It looks like
Speaker 1: a full, you know, whole scene.
Speaker 3: Because because there's that moment when you actually switch off.
Speaker 3: It's like I was on the couch. I was like
Speaker 3: this and then all of a sudden, remember where you are,
Speaker 3: and then there's this mechanism just goes. Remember I'm not
Speaker 3: making excuses for the hours that we're filming. But she
Speaker 3: coped so much that she was drained, she was tired,
Speaker 3: she was emotional, and they kept giving it to her.
Speaker 3: They kept giving her to it, they kept giving it.
Speaker 3: How much can one take?
Speaker 4: Do you think?
Speaker 1: Just quickly, because I remember how much alcohol we're all
Speaker 1: consumed at the weddings, at the dinner parties. A lot
Speaker 1: of the times we were blind. And there was one
Speaker 1: scene where she was talking about something and I could
Speaker 1: visibly see that she's intoxicated. She started slurring. I don't
Speaker 1: know if anyone else picked that up. Do you think
Speaker 1: alcohol had a little bit to.
Speaker 3: How alcohol was capped? No way, two glasses, that's all hell. Yesohol.
Speaker 3: There was an episode. I'm not going to mention her name.
Speaker 3: She got a fist, she came into the dinner table,
Speaker 3: she slammed, and she said, you're all mine, you all
Speaker 3: belong to me. You give us the show that I want,
Speaker 3: or none of you. She's a producer. Producers, don't do that, Dune,
Speaker 3: did you ever see a producer comeing in the dinner
Speaker 3: table and slam on the table.
Speaker 2: I saw a producer come and yell at us that
Speaker 2: we needed to give more else when not going home?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, no, this was next level. She slammed
Speaker 3: so hard that everything on the table jumped. And I
Speaker 3: was the grandma, so I was always at the end.
Speaker 3: I and in that scene, I just stood up. I
Speaker 3: had my hands up like this, and I said to
Speaker 3: the lovely woman that came in at the end, who
Speaker 3: was so mad, and I said to her, you want
Speaker 3: to show at least give me some wine because all
Speaker 3: of these lovely people here have just taken all the wine.
Speaker 3: She go, sit down, You'll get a wine when I
Speaker 3: give it to you. I said, no, I'll stand thanks.
Speaker 3: I'm going to stand with you. You give me my wine.
Speaker 3: I want my wine now because for me to put
Speaker 3: up with this rubbish, I really need a wine. The
Speaker 3: poor guy that came in, I've actually I want to craft. Thanks.
Speaker 3: So the poor guy that came in, he was trembling
Speaker 3: because I wasn't going to sit down, not sitting. He
Speaker 3: was shaking, and I said, thank you. I poured a glass.
Speaker 3: The minute I poured that glass. Dave went to grab
Speaker 3: it and I said, take it. I just needed one.
Speaker 3: I needed one because one I don't I'm not I'm
Speaker 3: not a drinker, but one blast just sedated me a
Speaker 3: little because it was a zoo. I just didn't know
Speaker 3: it was going to be like that. I don't want
Speaker 3: to be around no. And it's really hard to explain
Speaker 3: to viewers. They don't see that. Then they just see, oh,
Speaker 3: you yelled at You yelled at poor Paul, Poor Paul.
Speaker 3: You know he's going to have to leave the country. Really,
Speaker 3: it's coming right. I call that the karma bus. The
Speaker 3: karma bus. Look, you have you heard of that? He
Speaker 3: don't don't set someone up, which is what he did
Speaker 3: to me at the first innner party, made up a
Speaker 3: story I just finished throwing up and yelled at because
Speaker 3: you better give us a show continuously with the guy
Speaker 3: I was matched with. Look, you know you and I
Speaker 3: are never going to be And I thought, it's okay,
Speaker 3: I don't want you. I just had to figure out
Speaker 3: in my head how I'm going to get out of here.
Speaker 3: That's all I want to do. So you saw I
Speaker 3: wrote leave on the second week. Soon after writing leave,
Speaker 3: it was made very clear, three couples have left before me.
Speaker 3: You're not going anywhere.
Speaker 2: I remember seeing you mention that you felt held against
Speaker 2: your will? Can you share more of that? Because I
Speaker 2: felt like there was times where I there was one
Speaker 2: time that I wanted to leave and it was a
Speaker 2: full discussion. I ended up getting put into another room.
Speaker 2: But I was like, see, I'm out here and gone
Speaker 2: to my easier for me because I lived in Sydney
Speaker 2: and I could have just gone fifteen minutes to my house.
Speaker 4: What was that like for you?
Speaker 2: Obviously not being from Sydney, being in a foreign city
Speaker 2: with no friends and family here?
Speaker 3: Does anyone remember COVID? Right? Can you triple it? And
Speaker 3: can you triple it again? And can you triple it again?
Speaker 3: And can you triple it again? What are we up to?
Speaker 3: That's what it was like, see COVID, honey. I could
Speaker 3: go seven kilometers within my radius. I lived with my
Speaker 3: beautiful kids. I played music, I DJ'ed, I was at home. Sure,
Speaker 3: I was without without work. It was hard. This was
Speaker 3: next level. And I actually said to nine and I
Speaker 3: said to Edam or shine, and I don't think they
Speaker 3: believed me. They really didn't. I said to them, you
Speaker 3: show my story. I won't have a problem. I've got
Speaker 3: a problem if you don't share my story. And they've
Speaker 3: not shared my story, yeah at all. So all I
Speaker 3: want view is to know is, Hey, you've got to understand.
Speaker 3: Can you see that? How did I go from one
Speaker 3: hundred to zero? Actually below zero? My girlfriends who know me, well,
Speaker 3: they've gone. It doesn't even look like you're on TV.
Speaker 3: That's what happens when you throw up. That's what happens
Speaker 3: when you're ganged up on. I had not The only
Speaker 3: person I had was Ali. I never harmed myself for
Speaker 3: ladies because of Ali. Ali's going to be my life
Speaker 3: for the rest of my life. This is not I
Speaker 3: don't want anything from Ali. I've told him I'm gonna
Speaker 3: hear to use you. I don't do that because I've
Speaker 3: worked that out with you. I call a spade a spade. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but I had you, my kids would have been without
Speaker 3: a mother. Do you understand what that actually means?
Speaker 2: Like that?
Speaker 3: That's that's not right. Channel nine, Edam mol Sewan, You've
Speaker 3: got obligation to look after me too. For sure. You're
Speaker 3: protecting Sarah because she went off to hospital. You're protecting
Speaker 3: Tony because John Walsh, his brother law, his neighbors with him.
Speaker 3: That's brilliant. You look at your faces. This somebody's always
Speaker 3: protected for a reason. That's just wrong. I'm trying to
Speaker 3: think who else why I want you to protect him?
Speaker 2: If we name a couple each, can you tell us
Speaker 2: if you think that they're faking it? Okay, I'm going
Speaker 2: to go, you're cheeky, don't which one if it's out,
Speaker 2: If it's out of the two people in, I'm going
Speaker 2: to say Karina and Paul.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna say Jamie and Ryan.
Speaker 4: That's what I wanted to know.
Speaker 2: Dave, are either of those two? Is any of those
Speaker 2: two couples faking it?
Speaker 3: Dave is beautiful? Oh?
Speaker 4: Really, Dave, specifically Jamie.
Speaker 3: Dave is beautiful, Okay, Dave between the lines. Dave. Dave
Speaker 3: every single day in that Codor hugged me so tight
Speaker 3: every day, And I've even spoken to my said, you know,
Speaker 3: I'm going to tell your parents one day what a
Speaker 3: remarkable job they's done on you. He's here's what you see.
Speaker 4: And we obviously know you don't.
Speaker 3: Like saying that. Hang on me in saying that Dave
Speaker 3: never stuck up for me when wrong was done at
Speaker 3: the table because they all like Tony. Okay, now, Paul,
Speaker 3: what did you want to know about Paul?
Speaker 2: We obviously think you don't like him based on the
Speaker 2: t if you had, what's your opinion on those?
Speaker 3: He apologized to.
Speaker 4: Me, Okay, did you accept it?
Speaker 3: And I said, well, honey, there's no point apologizing because
Speaker 3: now you're screwed over. That's called the karma bus. The
Speaker 3: karma bus that you've got to apologize when you know
Speaker 3: you've done something and you know it's wrong. He made
Speaker 3: up a whole scenario that I was screaming down the
Speaker 3: corridor and I'm an idiot, that I just like I
Speaker 3: was already wound up because of what was being told
Speaker 3: to me in the background. Okay, so I fell for it,
Speaker 3: So I should have known better. I'm fifty seven. I
Speaker 3: should have known better, but I but I didn't. So
Speaker 3: I just he threw the bait and I just attacked. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I did. But Paul will now have to leave Australia.
Speaker 3: He's gonna have to go back to France. So now
Speaker 3: do you come and apologize to me, because now what
Speaker 3: you did is way worse than me talking too much,
Speaker 3: So that's not an apology. You do not apologye you
Speaker 3: do not apologize because something now terrible has happened to you,
Speaker 3: and now you know what it feels like. The difference
Speaker 3: is what he did, which you're going to find out
Speaker 3: is legit. He did it, and they're gonna go with it.
Speaker 4: So there's drama coming up with those two.
Speaker 1: So I think I did see a little preview somewhere.
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter what he did, he's going to have
Speaker 3: to wear it. He's gonna have to wear it. First
Speaker 3: week I write stay willingly. I needed to find out
Speaker 3: what's wrong with this human being? Week two, I write leave.
Speaker 3: If I was so bad, why did he write stay?
Speaker 3: He was so angry? Week three, I don't write stay
Speaker 3: or leave. Have a good look at what I write.
Speaker 1: Okay, wow, stay tuned everyone. This is what I love
Speaker 1: about you, Just so real and authentic, darling.
Speaker 3: Do you see me with any notes you talk? It's
Speaker 3: in my heart. And then week four was all pre
Speaker 3: arranged that I could walk in and attack Tony because
Speaker 3: Tony did this, this, this, this, this and this, and I
Speaker 3: just fell for it. I'm too scared to watch the
Speaker 3: last c S. I really am. I go persuk and
Speaker 3: then I say good riddance. The whole cast all boo me,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, you don't get to talk. I gave
Speaker 3: it to them. You don't get to talk. Poor TJ. Marena,
Speaker 3: that's me. You just got here. TJ. Don't talk, Adrian,
Speaker 3: however you talk. Shut up, Adrian, shut up, shut up,
Speaker 3: shut up. This is my seat, not yours. I actually
Speaker 3: get him to shut up, because no one can. And
Speaker 3: then poor Dave, he tries to say something I must say, Dave,
Speaker 3: and then he just backs off. Now this is my seat.
Speaker 3: And the reason why it was all pre arranged for
Speaker 3: me to walk in there was because I said to them,
Speaker 3: I'm going to call the police. You're holding me against
Speaker 3: my will. You've pushed me and pushed me. I've got
Speaker 3: nowhere else to go. So I didn't call the police.
Speaker 3: But I tell you what it was a bees a
Speaker 3: bees dick? Yeah off calling? Can I say that word? Yes?
Speaker 3: Well I am fifty seven right right, So I didn't.
Speaker 3: So it was all pre arranged by our lovely directors.
Speaker 3: You storm in and give it to Tony because he
Speaker 3: deserves it. I freaking felt for it. Anyway, It's going
Speaker 3: to be very entertaining for viewers. I've been told I'm
Speaker 3: a queen. The viewers out there who don't think I'm
Speaker 3: a queen, I really don't care a lot of honey,
Speaker 3: but honey, I mean that.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: The only thing that makes me emotional. My kids love that.
Speaker 3: We're on touch like and we laugh because the three
Speaker 3: of us are single. And I just say, yeah, stupid
Speaker 3: at fifty seven, stupid at you know thirty two, stupid
Speaker 3: at you know twenty seven. The age makes no difference.
Speaker 3: There's stupid in all age groups. But that's okay.
Speaker 1: You got each other and they're very lucky to have
Speaker 1: you as a mother.
Speaker 3: I'm lucky to have them. I've done some things right
Speaker 3: in life. I stayed in a loveless marriage, but I
Speaker 3: had two amazing kids. Goodbye, my love, goodbye.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for bringing your beautiful energy. She
Speaker 1: is exactly like the well the social media marena, that
Speaker 1: not the math version.
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you, sweet, that is me.
Speaker 1: That's you.
Speaker 3: I don't say that you can't.
Speaker 1: You can't.
Speaker 4: And next time I would love you to come in
Speaker 4: and teach how DJ.
Speaker 3: Have a party here in Sydney. Yeah done. Thank you, angels,
Speaker 3: More of you
