I mean, 56 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 2: this is what Australians do, don't they. I mean we 57 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 2: make our first impressions and we work people out in 58 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 2: half an hour of a show. 59 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's uh, he said when we were talking about 60 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 4: self love before, and then you really do need that 61 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 4: self love to find a partner.

And I've got 69 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 4: to be honest, it really kicks off our own five 70 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 4: or six. So please make it through Australia because it 71 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 4: really gets good. And Dalton is that at the midst 72 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 4: of most of the drama that unfolds throughout the series. 73 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: There's nowhere you can run either. I mean, if you're 74 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: there the options are in front of you too. You're 75 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: on a boat, and the great thing about a boat 76 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: is it feels It always feels exciting, and if you 77 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: feel like your mood needs to live. So the minute 78 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: there's drama involved, it almost doesn't fit. It doesn't fit 79 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: with the fun time you meant to be having. 80 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 4: It was great, but what a lot of people didn't realize. 81 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 4: They thought we kind of rented out this cruise ship, 82 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,679 Speaker 4: but it was actually a working cruise ship with three 83 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 4: and a half thousand people on board, not all happy 84 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 4: to see it. 85 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 5: So where do you started?
