Speaker 1: Maths.
Speaker 2: What a journey Joe's. We've met so many unbelievable, unique
Speaker 2: individual characters. We've met Jesse, we've met Melissa as well.
Speaker 2: It's time now to meet I reckon. The most interesting
Speaker 2: character on this.
Speaker 3: Experiment, the most interesting.
Speaker 4: Yes, I think one of the experts has called him
Speaker 4: the most controversial of all.
Speaker 1: Time, certainly the most talked about.
Speaker 3: Yes, exactly what do you think about that? Harrison?
Speaker 5: Well that's a very flattering intro. Thank you very much.
Speaker 5: The most interesting? I look, I'll take it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I binged watched about eight episodes yesterday, Harrison.
Speaker 3: So I feel like I know you pretty well by now.
Speaker 5: You know about one percent? Yeah, I say, if you
Speaker 5: watch the.
Speaker 4: Show, yeah, are you playing a bit of a character
Speaker 4: or are they just.
Speaker 3: Portraying you as a bit of a villain? What's going
Speaker 3: on here?
Speaker 5: Look? I heard Johnny say the other day there's no
Speaker 5: such things bad edit, and I have to agree. I
Speaker 5: think I think there is some things to do with
Speaker 5: the editing where you can catch out. Okay, they used
Speaker 5: a reply that I did one comment over here instead
Speaker 5: of to there, and look, there is there is a
Speaker 5: TV show to be made. But what I will say
Speaker 5: is You've got to remember math is basically the one
Speaker 5: percent of what the audience is one percent of the
Speaker 5: one hundred percent of everything we shoot over three months,
Speaker 5: and the one percent that you see is the worst
Speaker 5: one percent. The stuff that's going to make great television.
Speaker 5: The rest of the stuff is pretty boring. It's like
Speaker 5: us making a coffee or just having a chat about
Speaker 5: our day. The stuff that the audience sees is like,
Speaker 5: you know, it's the explosive stuff, it's the controversial stuff.
Speaker 5: And yeah, so just keep that in mind, and and
Speaker 5: remember that, you know, I'm not I'm not an arrogant
Speaker 5: asshole all of the time, just most of the time,
Speaker 5: but not all of the time.
Speaker 2: Did you know Harrison that it was going to go
Speaker 2: down this path early?
Speaker 1: Like? Did you did you get a bit of.
Speaker 5: Yeah, about two hours into the wedding, I think about it.
Speaker 5: I was like, all right, I'm going to be that guy.
Speaker 3: Well, whether it's the creative editing or not.
Speaker 4: I did watch yesterday and I thought, gosh, he's kind
Speaker 4: of gas lighting her a bit and not really taking
Speaker 4: much responsibility.
Speaker 3: But you reckon, that's just the way it's put together.
Speaker 5: Well, like, just to push back on that, a little
Speaker 5: bit right if I'm saying, if I'm saying, yeah, I
Speaker 5: was dating around, but I'm here now, how much more
Speaker 5: responsibility could I take?
Speaker 1: Okay, so well, last time at the.
Speaker 5: Dinner party, I've gone, yeah, okay, that's who I was,
Speaker 5: But I'm here now. Yeah, I mean, I mean, I
Speaker 5: don't understand where the gas lighting or where the lack
Speaker 5: of accountability is. Like, I've put my hand up for it.
Speaker 5: I've admitted to it. It's not like I've lied about it.
Speaker 5: I mean, people, the feedback I've gotten is that people
Speaker 5: just don't like my type of honesty. But the thing is,
Speaker 5: we've had people on previous seasons which have lied and
Speaker 5: swirmed their way out of things, haven't owned anything, and
Speaker 5: then it comes out in the long run. It's like
Speaker 5: people said, oh, we want someone honest, we want a
Speaker 5: real person. They get it, and they don't like how
Speaker 5: I'm honest and real.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I guess where that comes from is the fact that
Speaker 4: when it did upset her, then she was you know,
Speaker 4: you were sort of like, that's on.
Speaker 5: You responsible for other people's feelings. When you're being honest
Speaker 5: about who you are and how you feel.
Speaker 1: Truth can hurt John.
Speaker 3: I know I'm very brutal defending here a little bit,
Speaker 3: saying she was upset, and she's oh, I.
Speaker 5: Love the pushback. But yeah, you've got to remember that
Speaker 5: if we're having a conversation and you're telling me how
Speaker 5: you feel, right, are you then responsible for if I
Speaker 5: get upset about that? No, you're You're just being honest
Speaker 5: and like that's that's where being a mature adult comes
Speaker 5: in and you can sit down and actually have a conversation.
Speaker 3: So is Harrison gas lighting me?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 5: How conversations work?
Speaker 1: Okay? So if we're going to play good cop bad.
Speaker 3: They give a man's plaining Harris, Now I'm in.
Speaker 1: I can't win.
Speaker 5: I just can't win.
Speaker 2: Hey, So, if we're gonna play good cod bad cop,
Speaker 2: what about this Harrison? So I from what I can
Speaker 2: see as well, and maybe this is an alternate theory.
Speaker 2: So the story about everything that was happening outside which
Speaker 2: ended up turning into beloney, it feels like the other
Speaker 2: couples have still held onto that story and they've locked
Speaker 2: it in as fact.
Speaker 5: About the other girl you're talking about, Yes, yeah it was.
Speaker 5: It's actually a bit disappointing. Like I was watching last night,
Speaker 5: even the experts were referring to like a partner on
Speaker 5: the outside and all that sort of stuff. I'm like, guys,
Speaker 5: you knew exactly who I was coming in here. I
Speaker 5: didn't shy away from the fact that I was dating.
Speaker 5: All the producers knew, the experts news. So I just
Speaker 5: find it like a bit disingenuous that they're like pretending
Speaker 5: like they didn't know, or and then pretending like I
Speaker 5: was in some sort of a relationship, Like and I
Speaker 5: can say her name now because it's all over the media.
Speaker 5: Abby is a great girl. You know. We had a
Speaker 5: lot of fun, but there's no there was no committed
Speaker 5: relationship there. Like we both knew, like Abby had just
Speaker 5: got off the Bachelor, she couldn't be seen with anyone
Speaker 5: I had. I hadn't been given a wedding date yet,
Speaker 5: but I'd sort of more or less said yes to
Speaker 5: mass So, I mean, we both knew that this was
Speaker 5: a match that wasn't going anywhere. It was it wasn't
Speaker 5: made in reality TV, you know, heaven it was. It
Speaker 5: was essentially, there's no future here. Let's just have a
Speaker 5: little bit of fun, you know, until until such time
Speaker 5: as I had to go in or whatever happens. You know,
Speaker 5: we don't know what the future holds. And Abby wasn't
Speaker 5: the only girl, so it's it's not like it's not
Speaker 5: like I was dishonest about it or hit it from anyone.
Speaker 5: And you saw at the wedding. As soon as I
Speaker 5: was called out for it, I was like, yeah, okay,
Speaker 5: like yeah, I was. I was dating around. I was
Speaker 5: dating multiple women, Like you know, I hadn't found what
Speaker 5: I was looking for. That's why I'm here. And the
Speaker 5: the thing is that most of the people in the experiment,
Speaker 5: we're also dating up until the point that they went
Speaker 5: into the experiment. Melinda wasn't. And Melinda made a really
Speaker 5: good point. She's like, well, if you have the ability
Speaker 5: to find someone, why are you here and you don't
Speaker 5: actually see me Stay to Melinda at their dinner party,
Speaker 5: I said, well, if you're not dating and you haven't
Speaker 5: found someone and you're here and I am dating and
Speaker 5: I haven't found someone and I'm here, then measuring by
Speaker 5: the same metric, we both deserve to be here. And
Speaker 5: then Melinda didn't have an answer for that. You know,
Speaker 5: you just see me. Every time I get a question
Speaker 5: post to me, they just cut to me. And it's
Speaker 5: like in reality, I'm actually quite quick on my feet.
Speaker 5: So yeah, look, there's a couple of things with the
Speaker 5: with the editing that I I can pick up just
Speaker 5: watching myself back. But you've got to remember we're there
Speaker 5: to make a television, so it's not a documentary. A
Speaker 5: lot of it is for entertainment, so you know, you
Speaker 5: just have to sort of swallow that feel.
Speaker 2: I guess mate, if you said everything that you thought
Speaker 2: people wanted to hear, the show would be boring. So
Speaker 2: your honesty is appreciated.
Speaker 1: I'll say that, Team Harrison, thank you.
Speaker 5: That's really nice of you to say that. I haven't
Speaker 5: actually had any one to say that yet, so thank you.
Speaker 2: Before we let you go, Harrison, there's a quick little
Speaker 2: game that we'd like to play with you, if that's okay,
Speaker 2: because we just want to get.
Speaker 1: A bit of inside.
Speaker 3: Explaining with Harrison. That's a podcast down the track.
Speaker 1: That's definitely yeah, don't ruin it.
Speaker 2: We want to play a game called fairy Tale or Fail.
Speaker 2: So just a quick little rating out of ten of
Speaker 2: all the couples or the main couples that are going
Speaker 2: through it. Ten being a little fairy tale forever. If
Speaker 2: it looks like or it feels like these two were
Speaker 2: meant to be together and one being an absolute dismal fail.
Speaker 2: So can we start with an obvious one? Cam and Lyndall.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, that's that's the fairy tale. They are
Speaker 5: lovely people. A lot of respects for Cam, one of
Speaker 5: my best mates. And yeah, yeah, beautiful couple.
Speaker 1: Okay, and oh.
Speaker 5: Definite fairy tale. Yeah, love those.
Speaker 1: Two, beautiful Melissa and Josh.
Speaker 5: Melissa and Josh, well you can see from episode one
Speaker 5: there where and last night at the dinner party things
Speaker 5: that aren't going well for them. So I'd be very
Speaker 5: interested to see where they go in the future together
Speaker 5: because it seems like they speaking two different languages. Melissa's
Speaker 5: love language seems to be rooting and Josh's love language
Speaker 5: is definitely you know, well, I can't even remember the
Speaker 5: five love languages now, but I think I think if
Speaker 5: there is one about being intellectual and deep talk, that's
Speaker 5: definitely Josh.
Speaker 3: I kind of love how horny mill is. I kind
Speaker 3: of like it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know. It kind of really puts me off,
Speaker 5: to be honest. Yeah, if that's all you talk about,
Speaker 5: like there's no depth to a person. If all they
Speaker 5: talk about.
Speaker 1: Is sex Jesse and Claire.
Speaker 5: I would like to thank Jesse for taking the heat
Speaker 5: off me get the party for about five minutes. So Jesse,
Speaker 5: if you're listening, shout out, brother, thank you for that.
Speaker 5: Look another couple of to a difficult start. But I
Speaker 5: think that Claire is quite passionate. I think that if
Speaker 5: she puts the passion into the marriage like she is,
Speaker 5: I can really see Claire trying at the moment, and
Speaker 5: I think Jesse just needs a bit of time to
Speaker 5: get out of his own head. So I think I
Speaker 5: think there's potential there and I'll be very interested to
Speaker 5: see where those two go.
Speaker 1: Okay, last one, Harrison and Bronte.
Speaker 5: Oh, total fairy tale guys. But no fairytale would be
Speaker 5: complete without a challenge that the protagonists have to overcome
Speaker 5: exactly right.
Speaker 4: Exactly just before we let you go, Harrison, you mentioned
Speaker 4: the girl on the outside. Her name is Abby. We've
Speaker 4: got an Abby who reads our news for us. Can
Speaker 4: we confirm or deny this was you?
Speaker 3: Abby? I will not be making any comments at this time.
Speaker 3: Morning Abby, Morning Harrison.
Speaker 4: But you do love Harrison though I do, I think
Speaker 4: I'm one of my favorite.
Speaker 5: Oh thank you.
Speaker 4: That's really sweet, no worries, but yeah, hopefully it doesn't
Speaker 4: work out, because you're quite welcome to come to Adelaide.
Speaker 5: Having you and not one of my favorites.
Speaker 4: Thank you so much, Harrison, thank you so much. If
Speaker 4: you can't handle the smoke, don't light the fire. I
Speaker 4: don't mind that philosophy.
Speaker 3: Well done.
Speaker 5: Bye, guys, Thank you so much for having me on
Speaker 5: Teez made all the best you too, Thank you you, babe,
