WEBVTT - Why Teejay Isn't Into Beth... But He Won't Tell Her This

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Hello, and welcome back to the Mathsphenny podcast with me

0:00:03.000 --> 0:00:07.360
<v Speaker 1>Joshua Fox. This morning, I'll be discussing Beth and TJ,

0:00:08.200 --> 0:00:10.640
<v Speaker 1>this year's most low key couple who have mostly flew

0:00:10.720 --> 0:00:13.880
<v Speaker 1>under the radar until this week, when TJ's lack of

0:00:13.920 --> 0:00:17.800
<v Speaker 1>feelings were made more than clear during the homestays, mostly

0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:20.680
<v Speaker 1>thanks to Beth's sassy mate who really steered things up.

0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:24.159
<v Speaker 2>I don't know TJ, but listening to some of the

0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:28.200
<v Speaker 2>stuff that he's set up, I'm like, wow, this seems

0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:29.120
<v Speaker 2>really rehearsed.

0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:33.080
<v Speaker 3>The friendship side of things between Beth and eys. The

0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:35.400
<v Speaker 3>friendship that we've built too, like I see best friendship

0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:39.680
<v Speaker 3>in the connection that we have is super super strong friendship.

0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:42.680
<v Speaker 4>Using the word friendship quite a lot.

0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:47.080
<v Speaker 1>Now, trust me when I say every girl needs a sassy,

0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:49.920
<v Speaker 1>gay best mate in their life, and that is proof.

0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:53.280
<v Speaker 1>TJ later then reiterated his lack of feelings towards Beth

0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:56.720
<v Speaker 1>to his mate, saying this, so.

0:00:56.640 --> 0:00:58.440
<v Speaker 3>What would you have to do between now and the

0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:01.720
<v Speaker 3>end of the experiment for you to be feel different?

0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 4>For you to feel different?

0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:05.640
<v Speaker 3>In mind a bit you can't write down on the list.

0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:08.039
<v Speaker 3>If you do these things right now, we're gonna be perfect.

0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:10.959
<v Speaker 3>I can't see how it would just snap in two

0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:15.000
<v Speaker 3>weeks and change completely. And you know her parents wanted

0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:18.720
<v Speaker 3>to answer last last night, if the experiments, my daughter

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:19.520
<v Speaker 3>gonna have a heartbroken.

0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:21.640
<v Speaker 4>Now.

0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:24.280
<v Speaker 1>For any of you wondering why is TJ still on

0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:27.840
<v Speaker 1>the show when it's quite clear after four weeks he's

0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:30.480
<v Speaker 1>yet to develop any real feelings for Bev and is

0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:34.360
<v Speaker 1>unlikely to ever do so, well, I was wondering that myself,

0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:36.000
<v Speaker 1>so I reached out to a few people in the

0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:38.920
<v Speaker 1>know and they all pretty much told me the same thing.

0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:42.319
<v Speaker 1>Before I get to that, though, For the handful of

0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:46.400
<v Speaker 1>hopeful romantics out there believing he will suddenly find feels

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:49.680
<v Speaker 1>and they're magically still together present day, one of my

0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:54.160
<v Speaker 1>favorite TikTok creators, Aims Dicko, actually bumped into Beth randomly

0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 1>in a cosmetic clinic over the weekend and she just said, yeah,

0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:00.240
<v Speaker 1>what's the go Are you still with TJ? And just

0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:02.080
<v Speaker 1>listen to Beth's response.

0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:06.760
<v Speaker 4>Guess who's here. It's Ben. It's a mass party. Beth

0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:09.400
<v Speaker 4>is in the chair. She's gonna tell us all about

0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:17.280
<v Speaker 4>her trauma. Spoiler, do you end up with TJ?

0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:26.840
<v Speaker 1>So now back to my initial question, is TDA just

0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:29.519
<v Speaker 1>stringing Beth along by this point or did he genuinely

0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:32.400
<v Speaker 1>believe that he would develop romantic feelings towards her the

0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:33.480
<v Speaker 1>more time that passed.

0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 4>I'm basically told by multiple people that he stuck.

0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:39.240
<v Speaker 1>It out so long, firstly because he didn't want to

0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:41.680
<v Speaker 1>look like a dickhead, a national telly, and according to

0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:44.519
<v Speaker 1>the people have spoken to, TJ is actually a decent guy.

0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:47.280
<v Speaker 1>But he knew from the very start that Beth was

0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:50.080
<v Speaker 1>not for him. And this also feels horrible to say,

0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:53.720
<v Speaker 1>but I suppose everyone has a personal preference. He wasn't

0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:56.840
<v Speaker 1>really that attracted to her either, and again that's just

0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:59.799
<v Speaker 1>because you know, she's not his type. Obviously, Beth is

0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:03.280
<v Speaker 1>the and he sees that, but apparently just not the

0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:05.240
<v Speaker 1>type of girl he would personally go for.

0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:08.080
<v Speaker 4>Someone who knows TV in real life.

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.160
<v Speaker 1>Then went on to tell me that if he went

0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:12.000
<v Speaker 1>on a first date with Beth in the real world,

0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:15.120
<v Speaker 1>he wouldn't have asked for a second date, but he

0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:17.040
<v Speaker 1>was cautious to at least try, you know, given this

0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:19.680
<v Speaker 1>is married at first sight, not a random Tinder thing.

0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:22.560
<v Speaker 4>And as much as he wanted to develop feelings.

0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:25.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm told that he still never felt a spark, and

0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:26.960
<v Speaker 1>then he just kind of stuck it out because he

0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:29.280
<v Speaker 1>felt if he left too soon, he would look like

0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:31.280
<v Speaker 1>a dickhead from not trying. But even when it then

0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:33.520
<v Speaker 1>became clear to him that there would never be a spark,

0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.560
<v Speaker 1>he then just didn't know how or when to leave,

0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:39.240
<v Speaker 1>so he kept spinning that same line about you know,

0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:42.160
<v Speaker 1>hopefully it will develop a relationship from the friendship.

0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:44.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm in a situation that I dreaded the most that

0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:48.360
<v Speaker 3>I have feelings for my partner and he possibly didn't have.

0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:48.680
<v Speaker 5>Them for me.

0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:53.400
<v Speaker 1>Another issue that I'm told apparently caused a lot of

0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:55.520
<v Speaker 1>issues for them though, is the fact that Beth has

0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:58.440
<v Speaker 1>never had a relationship as we know, and she's been

0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:01.160
<v Speaker 1>pretty open about how she's been broken in the past.

0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:03.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, once she's been intimate with a guy and

0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:06.560
<v Speaker 1>then they kind of just ghost her. So like intimacy

0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:10.440
<v Speaker 1>is a huge thing for her and for TJ, intimacy, well,

0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:13.560
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't have quite as much emotional attachment to it,

0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:16.599
<v Speaker 1>And that's going solely off this clip from TJ when

0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:19.840
<v Speaker 1>he was on Big Brother in twenty twenty three talking

0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:22.800
<v Speaker 1>about how many women he shagged. Take a listen to this.

0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:28.159
<v Speaker 2>How many sexual partners have you had?

0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:28.560
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:33.520
<v Speaker 2>That's not great at all. I'm not big brother. Can

0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:35.240
<v Speaker 2>I give you a.

0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 4>No that has to be within ten No? You told us.

0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:46.240
<v Speaker 2>Look, I'm not proud of this, a ol big brother,

0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:47.320
<v Speaker 2>and I hope that there's.

0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:49.240
<v Speaker 3>No relationships that are breaking up the head.

0:04:52.360 --> 0:05:08.560
<v Speaker 2>You might over two hundred. Oh, TJ, it's quite the

0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:10.880
<v Speaker 2>little rabbit. Again, I'm not proud of it.

0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:11.640
<v Speaker 3>And it was the old man.

0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:12.440
<v Speaker 5>I think it's.

0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Very crown that you're hot. So on one side, we've

0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:21.640
<v Speaker 1>got Beth who's been fucked around by so many footboys

0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:24.160
<v Speaker 1>before and she's now pretty vulnerable when it comes to,

0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:27.479
<v Speaker 1>you know, dating and sex. And then on the other side,

0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:31.000
<v Speaker 1>we've got TJ, who's previously shagged two hundred women. He

0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:33.120
<v Speaker 1>wasn't vibing bed from the start, but he didn't know

0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:35.440
<v Speaker 1>how to tell her, so you just strunger along. We're

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.480
<v Speaker 1>talking about hoping to build a connection which never came.

0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:42.400
<v Speaker 1>And also it's worth pointing out here that TJ dragging

0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:45.240
<v Speaker 1>out a non existence romance on a reality show with

0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:48.960
<v Speaker 1>someone while hoping to develop romantic feelings for them isn't

0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:52.080
<v Speaker 1>new either. Because this clip I've just found from his

0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:56.120
<v Speaker 1>Big Brother twenty twenty three reunion episode seems to suggest

0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:58.360
<v Speaker 1>that he did it on there with another housemate he met,

0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:01.120
<v Speaker 1>cod Bella. Take a listen to this, as the entire

0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:04.320
<v Speaker 1>cast of that season sat down with Sonya Krueger.

0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:06.000
<v Speaker 4>Bella, have you too kept in touch?

0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:11.760
<v Speaker 5>We have kept in touch. When TJ got out of

0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:14.960
<v Speaker 5>the house, he messaged me straight away and kind of

0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:17.680
<v Speaker 5>kept in touch ever since then. So it's been really nice.

0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:20.880
<v Speaker 2>So you guys are just friends.

0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:23.200
<v Speaker 3>No physical connection, if that's what you're asking been.

0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:26.599
<v Speaker 4>No physical connection, okay, but that's.

0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:27.520
<v Speaker 5>Not that you gotta worry about.

0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:31.280
<v Speaker 2>It's the mental connection that you have to worry about.

0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:32.680
<v Speaker 5>I'll just watch a movie tonight.

0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:35.960
<v Speaker 4>You knew you were going to see her, he is there.

0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:37.800
<v Speaker 2>There may be no physical connection, but is there a

0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:38.520
<v Speaker 2>mental connection?

0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:40.479
<v Speaker 4>Is there like an emotional connection?

0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:42.240
<v Speaker 2>I think we definitely get along well.

0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:46.720
<v Speaker 5>So yeah, Bella, Yeah, I think we've gotten along from

0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:49.560
<v Speaker 5>day one, to be honest, and I think we've probably

0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:51.160
<v Speaker 5>both like opened up to each other a little bit

0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:53.600
<v Speaker 5>more and seen a bit more of each other's personality

0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:55.880
<v Speaker 5>is coming out of the house, and that's been really nice.

0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:57.960
<v Speaker 4>I don't know much background context of that.

0:06:58.040 --> 0:06:59.760
<v Speaker 1>I didn't ever watched that season, and I don't think

0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:01.719
<v Speaker 1>many if you guys did, since it flopped and was

0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:05.080
<v Speaker 1>canceled after that. But the story just seems quite similar

0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:08.480
<v Speaker 1>to what's happening now. So basically, to summarized, TJ and Beth,

0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:10.800
<v Speaker 1>he knew from the start she wasn't for him. He

0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:13.040
<v Speaker 1>gave it a go at the start, still realizing, nah,

0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:15.320
<v Speaker 1>there's nothing there never will be. But he then didn't

0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:17.560
<v Speaker 1>know how or when to leave, so he just didn't.

0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:19.400
<v Speaker 1>And that's the place where right now, where it's just

0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:22.600
<v Speaker 1>a bit awkward. That's all I got for you today.

0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:24.800
<v Speaker 1>Thank you guys, and I will see you later. Have

0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:25.480
<v Speaker 1>a lovely day.
