0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:01.720
<v Speaker 1>It's in the news today, but it was actually on

0:00:01.800 --> 0:00:05.000
<v Speaker 1>TV Reload, the podcast last week they light Welcome back

0:00:05.000 --> 0:00:08.039
<v Speaker 1>to TV Reload. My name's Benjamin Norris, and on this

0:00:08.119 --> 0:00:11.280
<v Speaker 1>podcast I go behind the scenes with the biggest players

0:00:11.320 --> 0:00:14.640
<v Speaker 1>in television. Each episode you will get a front row

0:00:14.720 --> 0:00:19.560
<v Speaker 1>seat with content makers like executive producers, writers, editors, and

0:00:19.640 --> 0:00:23.400
<v Speaker 1>casting agents, plus the talent that we see on our screens.

0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:27.400
<v Speaker 1>TV Reload reloads the shows that you are currently watching

0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:30.800
<v Speaker 1>and gives you a better insight at our television industry

0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:34.520
<v Speaker 1>and streaming services today. On the podcast, I have second

0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:37.600
<v Speaker 1>to vict Mel from Big Brother twenty twenty two Back

0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:40.599
<v Speaker 1>to the Future, which is now on Channel seven from

0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:44.279
<v Speaker 1>Monday to Wednesday. The first cut is often the deepest,

0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:47.720
<v Speaker 1>but as Mel leaves the competition second, I can't help

0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:51.000
<v Speaker 1>but wonder what else we would have gained from her experience.

0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 1>Being just a little longer, Mel was a beacon of

0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:57.840
<v Speaker 1>shining light. Her positivity and energy is super prevalent in

0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:01.040
<v Speaker 1>this chat, and today you will get to hear everything

0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:04.080
<v Speaker 1>about her time in the Big Brother House. Go behind

0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:07.320
<v Speaker 1>the scenes as Mel unpacks the highs and lows, find

0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:09.880
<v Speaker 1>out some secrets that we didn't see on the show,

0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:14.200
<v Speaker 1>and I'll also reignite a famous tradition with Gretel Colleen's

0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:17.440
<v Speaker 1>top ten questions, made famous from the first iteration of

0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:21.400
<v Speaker 1>the series back when it debuted in two thousand and two. However,

0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:25.440
<v Speaker 1>let's get started with Mel, affectionately known as Mel from Melbourne,

0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:27.880
<v Speaker 1>as we welcome her to TV Reload.

0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:33.399
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how to be anything other than myself.

0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:36.319
<v Speaker 3>This year it's my twenty first birthday.

0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:38.800
<v Speaker 2>They were just like, we think that you could be

0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:41.320
<v Speaker 2>different for the house and.

0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:46.520
<v Speaker 3>I've invited housemates both new and legendary.

0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:49.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. What, it's a funny thing called hindsight.

0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:54.080
<v Speaker 3>Will experience be enough to take on the next generation

0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:55.120
<v Speaker 3>of housemates?

0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:57.640
<v Speaker 2>I wish I could turn back time and do a

0:01:57.640 --> 0:01:58.880
<v Speaker 2>little bit more research and.

0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 3>The new contender out Big Brother.

0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:07.000
<v Speaker 2>Just because things happened to you when you're younger for

0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:09.680
<v Speaker 2>all different reasons doesn't mean it's all you know doom

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:10.080
<v Speaker 2>and gloom.

0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:11.840
<v Speaker 3>This is Big Brother.

0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Hey, Mel, how are you?

0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:15.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm well? How are you?

0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:18.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm very good because I get to sit down and

0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:20.800
<v Speaker 1>talk about Big Brother with you.

0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, big Brother, you mean big little lies?

0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Okay, why are you calling it big little lies?

0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:29.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you realize, But like I was

0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:32.680
<v Speaker 2>under the impression that we were all telling the truth,

0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:34.000
<v Speaker 2>but we were.

0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:36.160
<v Speaker 1>So what you're saying is that there was a lot

0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:37.720
<v Speaker 1>of liars in the show.

0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:44.720
<v Speaker 2>Yes, did someone SAYKFC? Of course there was lying going on.

0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:47.480
<v Speaker 2>That's why I'm out, baby, That's why I'm out.

0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:51.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, we are getting a little ahead of ourselves. Mel

0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:54.959
<v Speaker 1>You're very well known on the social scene of Melbourne.

0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:58.400
<v Speaker 1>Where did the nickname Mel from Melbourne come from?

0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:03.960
<v Speaker 2>So? I was atendant for ten years and having a

0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:07.080
<v Speaker 2>lot of different bases within Australia, there's a lot of

0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:11.520
<v Speaker 2>other males. So rather than describe me with Mal the tall, blonde,

0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:14.079
<v Speaker 2>the loud, the energy, it was just Mal from Melbourne.

0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:15.760
<v Speaker 2>You know Mal from Albourn, you know Mal of Melbourne,

0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:18.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, And it just stuck. And I have been

0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:22.880
<v Speaker 2>receiving that for as over ten years now, because I've

0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:26.160
<v Speaker 2>been a flight attendant for like longer than ten years.

0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:29.960
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I'm kind of listening to it now, going wow,

0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:32.160
<v Speaker 2>hearing it on TV is a bit different than hearing

0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:36.000
<v Speaker 2>it in the crew room, but that's okay. Sorry, I'm adjusting.

0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:41.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm Melanie Todd and I'm from Albourn and I'm forty

0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:45.520
<v Speaker 2>years young. The housemates, a lot of them will be

0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:48.080
<v Speaker 2>a little bit like, WHOA, what have I got here?

0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:51.400
<v Speaker 2>I know, my high energy isn't for everybody here, but

0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:54.040
<v Speaker 2>then so many will be like, thank god she's here

0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:56.400
<v Speaker 2>us because time flies when you're having fun, and I

0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:59.880
<v Speaker 2>bring the fun. I was Cavin Crue for ten years.

0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:03.840
<v Speaker 2>I've always been able to adapt in every situation because

0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:05.440
<v Speaker 2>you never know what you're going to get on each

0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:09.160
<v Speaker 2>aircraft and what sort of guests you're going to have

0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:12.280
<v Speaker 2>to deal with. I guess that's what gives me the

0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:14.080
<v Speaker 2>preparation that I can handle anything.

0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:20.080
<v Speaker 1>I can't think of anyone who's been in Big Brother

0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:23.479
<v Speaker 1>who has had their names sort of changed to being

0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:24.799
<v Speaker 1>Mel from Melbourne.

0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:25.039
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Big Brother would always say Hi Benjamin, you know, but

0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:33.160
<v Speaker 1>in actual fact, you've coined the phrase Mel Mel from Melbourne.

0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:37.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm kind of lucky because I think that's another unforgettable

0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:42.520
<v Speaker 2>moments in my life where you know, I rewrit Big

0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:45.120
<v Speaker 2>Brothers you know way of doing things. You know, I

0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:46.799
<v Speaker 2>must have some sort of special talent.

0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:51.159
<v Speaker 1>After all, How does someone full of sunshine and positivity

0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:55.400
<v Speaker 1>end up on a competitive show like Big brother in

0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:56.520
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty two.

0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:59.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, there was a thing called COVID, and there was

0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:03.480
<v Speaker 2>a thing called botom and isolation and quarantine. And I

0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:10.320
<v Speaker 2>was being very very honest throughout my social medium media forums,

0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:15.000
<v Speaker 2>and people were screenshotting my funny things. And I'll give

0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:18.000
<v Speaker 2>you an example. When I wasn't flying, I moved back

0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:22.120
<v Speaker 2>home and I was a forty year old girl living

0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:24.760
<v Speaker 2>in a bedroom where there was glowing the dark stickers

0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:27.400
<v Speaker 2>on my wall. And I went back in time and

0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:29.880
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden, I was fifteen. So I was

0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:32.680
<v Speaker 2>quite active and open with what I was, you know,

0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:36.400
<v Speaker 2>how I was feeling in those you know, uncertain times.

0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:40.400
<v Speaker 2>And someone screenshot at it to the right people and

0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:41.839
<v Speaker 2>they were like, we would like to put her on

0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Big Brother, would Chip be up for it? And I

0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.200
<v Speaker 2>was like when in Rome, like, you know, put nothing

0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:50.719
<v Speaker 2>else to do. Isolation is not happening for me right now.

0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:52.960
<v Speaker 2>And hey, they've got a poll in Spa and they've

0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:55.919
<v Speaker 2>got people to play with, so isolation just got better.

0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:57.080
<v Speaker 2>So that's why.

0:05:57.320 --> 0:06:01.080
<v Speaker 1>So they contacted you. So they'd seen you Instagram and

0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:05.960
<v Speaker 1>being fabulous and they've contacted you. So no application process, well.

0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:07.520
<v Speaker 2>They had to do still do that because what they

0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:11.240
<v Speaker 2>wanted to know is they wanted to tell me why

0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:14.240
<v Speaker 2>I should apply. And they did not talk to me

0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:18.479
<v Speaker 2>about strategies and gameplays and lies. They were just like,

0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:21.160
<v Speaker 2>we think that you could be different for the house.

0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:23.240
<v Speaker 2>This could be, this could be new, this could be

0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:25.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, like you could change things. And I was

0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:28.279
<v Speaker 2>excited because I was thinking, I've got a bigger Instagram

0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:31.080
<v Speaker 2>Facebook called the Big Brother House. I can I can

0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:35.480
<v Speaker 2>share share my humor and funny stories, you know, on

0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:36.880
<v Speaker 2>a on a bigger stage.

0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:40.360
<v Speaker 1>But did you watch much of this new incarnation of

0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:42.400
<v Speaker 1>Big Brother. I mean, we all know that Big Brothers

0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:44.600
<v Speaker 1>had a bit of a glow up and it's no

0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:47.560
<v Speaker 1>longer you know, Sarah Marie making fish and chips in

0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:50.599
<v Speaker 1>the kitchen. Had you seen that it had like a

0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:51.560
<v Speaker 1>complete change?

0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:54.280
<v Speaker 2>You know what. It's a it's a funny thing called hindsight,

0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:56.599
<v Speaker 2>and I wish I could turn back time and do

0:06:56.680 --> 0:07:02.440
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more research. However, I while I was

0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:06.040
<v Speaker 2>in isolation waiting to go into the house, I watched

0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:09.120
<v Speaker 2>a few clips and I was like, oh, you know,

0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:13.360
<v Speaker 2>there's it's a bit different. But I still believed that

0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:17.040
<v Speaker 2>because everyone that I'd spoken to you know, leading up

0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:19.920
<v Speaker 2>to it, like you know, producers and things like that.

0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:22.280
<v Speaker 2>They were like, yeah, mall, that's your tactic. You are

0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:25.000
<v Speaker 2>very relative, and they kind of made me believe that

0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:27.680
<v Speaker 2>that was a secret weapon, like being a friendly person.

0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:32.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh wow, you've got it. I didn't have it, And yeah,

0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:34.760
<v Speaker 2>I wish I kind of got a little bit more

0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:37.280
<v Speaker 2>secret weapons other than just a friendly personality.

0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:41.240
<v Speaker 1>But you live yourlyn I think that your kind of experience. Though,

0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:45.000
<v Speaker 1>even though you've come out and your personality probably doesn't

0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:48.600
<v Speaker 1>lend itself as much to that sort of competitive process,

0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:51.360
<v Speaker 1>I think the integrity of who you are is still

0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:53.920
<v Speaker 1>quite protected. I think you've come out of this experience

0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.320
<v Speaker 1>and people have got a fair whack of who you

0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:57.160
<v Speaker 1>are as a person.

0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:03.320
<v Speaker 2>The housemates expected you. Now I think I've got to believe.

0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:11.160
<v Speaker 2>It's called high energy and loud loud, loud volume. But

0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:16.160
<v Speaker 2>I am a lover of life, tornado of happiness, but

0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:17.360
<v Speaker 2>mostly I'm so kind.

0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:20.080
<v Speaker 1>I could feel like the positivity coming out of you

0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:25.120
<v Speaker 1>and washing over me. What did Sonya say to you

0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:26.440
<v Speaker 1>as well when you were going in?

0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:28.640
<v Speaker 2>Oh, she said, I was you know, she could feel

0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:33.160
<v Speaker 2>the positivity radiating, radiating, and you know, that that's that's

0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:36.480
<v Speaker 2>an unforgettable moment also that I think about and I

0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:40.840
<v Speaker 2>smile instantly. But yeah, you know what I all I wanted,

0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:45.480
<v Speaker 2>like as in, once I understood that I was in

0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:48.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, like no offense, but like I've been thrown

0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:51.920
<v Speaker 2>to the wolves, my purpose was greater than ever because

0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:55.839
<v Speaker 2>I just didn't want to be known as someone that

0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:59.920
<v Speaker 2>went out of their way to you know, cause trouble

0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:03.480
<v Speaker 2>or you know, saything bad about others. And my mum's

0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:06.200
<v Speaker 2>quotes kept on coming into my head in this game

0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:09.079
<v Speaker 2>preparation where I'm trying to be fierce and strong, and

0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:11.120
<v Speaker 2>it's like, if you don't have anything nice to say, Melanie,

0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.719
<v Speaker 2>don't say anything at all, and treat people how you

0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:16.679
<v Speaker 2>want to be treated. So I'm like, oh god, how

0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:22.240
<v Speaker 2>do I do this without disappointing so many people? So yeah,

0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:24.839
<v Speaker 2>it was tricky, but I must admit I did stay

0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:28.000
<v Speaker 2>true to myself, and I have been bombarded with such

0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:31.439
<v Speaker 2>beautiful messages saying that it was beautiful to see me

0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:34.400
<v Speaker 2>stay true to myself and not get caught up in it.

0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:37.400
<v Speaker 1>So well, you've just well I see it this way.

0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:39.880
<v Speaker 1>I think you just transported who you are on the

0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:42.040
<v Speaker 1>outside world and you've picked it up and put it

0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:44.840
<v Speaker 1>into the Big Brother experience, and that integrity has stayed

0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:47.640
<v Speaker 1>the same. I mean you have so many I mean

0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:51.559
<v Speaker 1>you're very well connected in Melbourne, you have famous connections

0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:54.240
<v Speaker 1>everywhere all around the world, and so I think it's

0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:55.839
<v Speaker 1>a good thing that you've been able to go in

0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:59.800
<v Speaker 1>be who you are and come out with your own integrity.

0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:04.040
<v Speaker 2>Thank you so much, I guess. I guess what really

0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:07.920
<v Speaker 2>made me believe that, you know, like, there is this

0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:11.760
<v Speaker 2>can do attitude in me is when I got asked

0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:15.720
<v Speaker 2>to look after the Rolling Stones music group. Once again,

0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:18.240
<v Speaker 2>the humbleness was in me and I got asked and

0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:22.199
<v Speaker 2>I asked my parents if it was okay, and my

0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:25.080
<v Speaker 2>parents were like, oh, my goodness, Nolanie, of course take

0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:26.760
<v Speaker 2>that opportunity and da da da dah. And then my

0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:29.360
<v Speaker 2>mom was like, oh, you know, tell them you've got

0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:33.120
<v Speaker 2>a boyfriend. And I was like, I don't think they would. Yep, okay, yep,

0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:36.160
<v Speaker 2>cool moum no raies, no raes. And whilst I was,

0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:38.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, you know, being their hostess of the mostest

0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:44.719
<v Speaker 2>on their Hunter Valley tour, I was so amazed that

0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:49.520
<v Speaker 2>I nailed it, but also they couldn't believe that someone

0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:52.360
<v Speaker 2>like me that you know, hasn't had that experience before

0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:55.800
<v Speaker 2>except you know, being a flight attendant, like memorize their

0:10:56.000 --> 0:11:00.320
<v Speaker 2>diet requirements, memorize their you know, their itinery. And they

0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:03.320
<v Speaker 2>were just like, you've made this effortless like it could

0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:06.000
<v Speaker 2>have been like, oh, you know, we don't connect with

0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:10.920
<v Speaker 2>this girl. It's you know, like she's not approachable. And

0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:13.760
<v Speaker 2>then after the tour, I remember, you know, the band

0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:17.480
<v Speaker 2>said to me, if you ever feel in doubt, which

0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:20.360
<v Speaker 2>you know that does happen. I am human. Remember you

0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:24.040
<v Speaker 2>wowed the Rolling Stones. So having that moment and going

0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:27.319
<v Speaker 2>into the house, I was like, come on, I wowed

0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:30.840
<v Speaker 2>the Rolling Stones. I can wow my housemates. But yeah,

0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:34.199
<v Speaker 2>great experience that I am blessed beyond belief that I

0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:35.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, can share that story.

0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:39.920
<v Speaker 1>So what happened and what was the anticipation like waiting

0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:42.040
<v Speaker 1>to go into the house because I know that they

0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:43.880
<v Speaker 1>can do things like they might leave you in the

0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:46.280
<v Speaker 1>car for five hours or I mean they're trying to

0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:48.959
<v Speaker 1>create like a certain tension before they put you in.

0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:51.800
<v Speaker 1>What happened and what was it like before you went

0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:52.280
<v Speaker 1>in the house.

0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:56.079
<v Speaker 2>To me, it was the unknown like I normally, you know,

0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:58.839
<v Speaker 2>like I normally have my phone on me, and I

0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:00.319
<v Speaker 2>was didn't have my phone on me, and we have

0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:01.839
<v Speaker 2>a watch, and I didn't know what the time was,

0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:04.320
<v Speaker 2>and I didn't even know how long I'd been sitting,

0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:07.559
<v Speaker 2>you know, in the car for And then next minute,

0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:10.480
<v Speaker 2>Mariah Carey Fantasy came on and I just was like,

0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:14.400
<v Speaker 2>you know what it's gonna be. Okay, Mariah Carey's talking

0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:16.640
<v Speaker 2>to me through the radio. We've got this, And I

0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:19.079
<v Speaker 2>couldn't stop dancing. And even the driver, who was meant

0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:21.160
<v Speaker 2>to be so poker faced and look at me through

0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:23.599
<v Speaker 2>the rearview and be like he even snirked at me

0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:25.800
<v Speaker 2>and went, yeah, this is a good change, you know.

0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.559
<v Speaker 2>And yes, so yeah. It was the build up and

0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:31.400
<v Speaker 2>the anticipation and the unknown feelings. But when you hear

0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:34.800
<v Speaker 2>a familiar song, like you just all those butterflies go away,

0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:37.960
<v Speaker 2>like Miley Cyrus, you know, like hands, yeah, I won't

0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:39.520
<v Speaker 2>sing because it's not a good thing, but you know

0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:41.280
<v Speaker 2>what I mean, Like, I just think you find that

0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:44.080
<v Speaker 2>joy and you hold on to it and it gets

0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:46.439
<v Speaker 2>you through a little bit more of those nervous feelings.

0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:49.839
<v Speaker 1>I Marian Carey has also saved me, by the way,

0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:52.640
<v Speaker 1>and probably probably a lot of other people. You know,

0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:55.760
<v Speaker 1>Big Brother is back with the Ogs, and we have

0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:59.520
<v Speaker 1>some very iconic players back inside the Big Brother House.

0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:03.719
<v Speaker 1>If you had known that the format was going this

0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:06.840
<v Speaker 1>way and that these ogs would be in the house

0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:08.840
<v Speaker 1>with you, would you have signed up?

0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:13.160
<v Speaker 2>Definitely? Not like like like you're noticing, I didn't really

0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:15.920
<v Speaker 2>have a lot of knowledge on the show. All the

0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:19.440
<v Speaker 2>concept of the show. Putting myself in a situation where

0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:22.680
<v Speaker 2>they've done it before and it's my first rodeo knowledge

0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:25.439
<v Speaker 2>is power. They're coming in with an understanding of what

0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:29.360
<v Speaker 2>it's like to have gone through those emotions and you know,

0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:33.760
<v Speaker 2>had you know, the moments where they were without their normality,

0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:37.679
<v Speaker 2>And I went in you know, like pretty much blind. Sorry,

0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:43.120
<v Speaker 2>reg but I just went in thinking that like I

0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:45.439
<v Speaker 2>had these newbies and we were all thinking that we

0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:47.920
<v Speaker 2>were on the same page and we could all relate

0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:50.319
<v Speaker 2>to each other because it was our first time and experience.

0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:53.960
<v Speaker 2>And then next minute I find out they've done it before,

0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:56.640
<v Speaker 2>and also they know what to expect and they know

0:13:56.840 --> 0:13:59.920
<v Speaker 2>how to prepare themselves for what you know, they're like

0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.440
<v Speaker 2>last experience was and what they could do better where

0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:04.520
<v Speaker 2>I thought there was a hair dryer, Like, I was like, oh,

0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:06.600
<v Speaker 2>I miss the hair drying brother looking in the cupboards

0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:09.480
<v Speaker 2>and they're like He's like, no, there's no hair dryer,

0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:11.520
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like, oh, what do you mean. I'm gonna

0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:14.880
<v Speaker 2>have wet puppy dog drizzling hair and everyone's gonna think

0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:16.840
<v Speaker 2>that I don't know how to do my hair properly.

0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:19.480
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I would have done things differently for the

0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:23.280
<v Speaker 2>fact that knowledge is power, and they surely have knowledge

0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:24.320
<v Speaker 2>because they've done it before.

0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:28.240
<v Speaker 1>Well, they don't have hair dryers because you can't be

0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:29.960
<v Speaker 1>hair drying your hair because you might miss out on

0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:32.960
<v Speaker 1>some you know, juicy dialogue from one of the other housemates,

0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:36.320
<v Speaker 1>you know with the OG's playing this differently to how

0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:39.560
<v Speaker 1>we saw them the first time round. Had they changed

0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:44.320
<v Speaker 1>the way in which Australia knew who they were? Like I.

0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:49.040
<v Speaker 2>Watched it last night, you know, I've still got PSD

0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:52.320
<v Speaker 2>because it was quite scary. The fact that you know,

0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:56.760
<v Speaker 2>Tim and Reggie use the words if you don't vote

0:14:56.840 --> 0:15:00.760
<v Speaker 2>for us, so if you don't vote against mal Lulu,

0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:04.160
<v Speaker 2>We're coming at you. I was like, oh my goodness,

0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:07.080
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't imagine Readie talking like that a long time ago.

0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:09.800
<v Speaker 2>You know, I knew Tim was always prank star, and

0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:14.720
<v Speaker 2>you know I did see him take to Hans whatever

0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:19.520
<v Speaker 2>the curling thing was, Traitna or whatever, but he never

0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:23.120
<v Speaker 2>had that viciousness in him. And then there was words

0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:26.840
<v Speaker 2>like we saved you in the first eviction, Lulu, you

0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:31.000
<v Speaker 2>owe us, and I was actually like, my mind was

0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:36.000
<v Speaker 2>blown that it turned into a vicious environment. But also

0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:38.800
<v Speaker 2>I think it was more cutthroat than Survivor episodes that

0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:42.120
<v Speaker 2>I've seen this year. And I watched Survivor religiously sad

0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:45.480
<v Speaker 2>friends on it and they messaged me last night and

0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:48.360
<v Speaker 2>they actually said to me, I feel for you, Mel

0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:50.680
<v Speaker 2>because all you wanted to do was do what you

0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:53.600
<v Speaker 2>do on a daily and just ease people's worries and

0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:56.360
<v Speaker 2>make the day go quick by spreading joy. But they

0:15:56.760 --> 0:15:59.040
<v Speaker 2>had their eyes on the prize, and you know, eyes

0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:01.560
<v Speaker 2>on the prize means we will throw anyone out of

0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:06.000
<v Speaker 2>the house literally to get what they want.

0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Is it a long term goal though, because no matter

0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:12.360
<v Speaker 1>how you play the game throughout the show, and you

0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:14.800
<v Speaker 1>might make it to the end by wheeling and dealing

0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:17.760
<v Speaker 1>and being very cutthroat. Australia is still going to have

0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:20.320
<v Speaker 1>to pick a winner. So, no matter what these people

0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:23.360
<v Speaker 1>are doing to keep themselves in the show, is it

0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:26.960
<v Speaker 1>a long term game, should they maybe being more mindful

0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:30.040
<v Speaker 1>of their integrity of how they're playing the game one.

0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:33.640
<v Speaker 2>Hundred percent, Because we're in twenty twenty two and it's

0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:36.000
<v Speaker 2>not black and white anymore. It's there's there's a beautiful

0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:39.920
<v Speaker 2>color called gray, and sometimes, you know, the viciousness and

0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:43.320
<v Speaker 2>that fight can kind of make people think you're not,

0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:45.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, as kind or as nice as what they

0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:48.400
<v Speaker 2>once thought you were. And we all have an idea

0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:52.280
<v Speaker 2>of how you know our person that we've been watching

0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:56.960
<v Speaker 2>for years, and they disappoint you, it would be really

0:16:57.080 --> 0:17:00.640
<v Speaker 2>really you know, sad if they lost respect to Reggie

0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:05.240
<v Speaker 2>last night when they went in for the attack. But hey,

0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:08.600
<v Speaker 2>like you know, or like hopefully it doesn't happen. But

0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:11.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm just saying that with me, if I was to

0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:16.040
<v Speaker 2>see my person that I've always thought was amazing do

0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:19.000
<v Speaker 2>something that kind of made me think, well, that's new

0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:20.639
<v Speaker 2>to me, it would take me a little bit to

0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:24.000
<v Speaker 2>just understand that that's that's the new Reggie, that's the

0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:24.960
<v Speaker 2>new team in this game.

0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:28.639
<v Speaker 1>Two point zero, two point oh, Tim two point oh,

0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:32.080
<v Speaker 1>Reggie two point oh. I think both of them, knowing

0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:34.960
<v Speaker 1>them as well as I do, they have been watching

0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:38.080
<v Speaker 1>this Channel seven version and they know that they actually

0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:40.840
<v Speaker 1>have to be cut throat to make it through the game.

0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Who was more trustworthy the newbies or the ogs?

0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:52.399
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Newbies for sure, for sure. Like even though Gabby

0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:54.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, did what she had to do and Lulu

0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:59.439
<v Speaker 2>did what she had to do, they What I felt

0:18:00.320 --> 0:18:04.320
<v Speaker 2>is that it wasn't frightening to have a conversation with them,

0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:07.159
<v Speaker 2>or to see them have a conversation with others, like

0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:11.680
<v Speaker 2>when Tim and Reggie want something. Oh. I was trembling

0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:14.480
<v Speaker 2>watching it last night. I was like, Paul, Lulu, She's like,

0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:16.080
<v Speaker 2>let me think about it, and like, what do you

0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:18.240
<v Speaker 2>mean let me think about it. I'll come back to you.

0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:21.480
<v Speaker 2>And she's trying to like deflect the situation because she

0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:23.480
<v Speaker 2>knows I'm around the corner and I don't miss a beat.

0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:26.360
<v Speaker 2>Like I actually can see myself going, oh, that's interesting

0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:29.280
<v Speaker 2>that those three are in the you know whatever that

0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:31.160
<v Speaker 2>area is called. I think Tim came up with a name.

0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:34.040
<v Speaker 2>But my PSD is sort of blocking me from actually

0:18:34.080 --> 0:18:36.800
<v Speaker 2>remembering most of the house. But the point of the

0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:40.080
<v Speaker 2>story is that even two people confronting one person is

0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:43.480
<v Speaker 2>an ambush, and that to itself isn't like Reggie and

0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:46.320
<v Speaker 2>Tim because they normally, you know, would probably have a

0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:48.560
<v Speaker 2>conversation one on one with people because it's a little

0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:51.080
<v Speaker 2>bit more gentle. But the word gentle isn't in Big

0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:56.159
<v Speaker 2>Brother twenty twenty two. It's a cutthroat and you know,

0:18:56.760 --> 0:19:00.600
<v Speaker 2>it's a game and feelings are forgotten out. And I

0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:04.000
<v Speaker 2>learned that watching myself in the eviction jet.

0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:06.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, Mel from my perspective and watching it, you

0:19:06.960 --> 0:19:09.399
<v Speaker 1>seem to be talking people up and you seem to

0:19:09.440 --> 0:19:13.639
<v Speaker 1>have divided your time away from strategy. Did you choose

0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:16.840
<v Speaker 1>that or were the housemates inside the house just not

0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:20.440
<v Speaker 1>involving you in you know, the deals and the contracts.

0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:24.280
<v Speaker 2>That's a brilliant question. Thanks for asking that, because a

0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:26.320
<v Speaker 2>lot of people that I've spoken to is like, God,

0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:28.320
<v Speaker 2>now you dropped the ball, and I was like, but

0:19:28.440 --> 0:19:32.680
<v Speaker 2>I didn't get the invite to RSVP, Like I didn't

0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:36.359
<v Speaker 2>know that things were going on. And also, you know,

0:19:36.680 --> 0:19:39.159
<v Speaker 2>with the person that I am, like, I get so

0:19:39.640 --> 0:19:42.000
<v Speaker 2>caught in the moment of being present with whoever I'm

0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:45.000
<v Speaker 2>talking to. If I'm hyping them up. If I'm telling

0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:47.600
<v Speaker 2>Dave you know that we can distract him with a

0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:50.680
<v Speaker 2>memory game instead of coffee, or I'm doing something that

0:19:50.840 --> 0:19:54.280
<v Speaker 2>you know at the time feels really relevant, I don't

0:19:54.359 --> 0:19:56.800
<v Speaker 2>know that there's a conversation going on in another room

0:19:56.920 --> 0:20:00.359
<v Speaker 2>plodding against me. So yeah, it was a bit a

0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:03.600
<v Speaker 2>bit of an an eye opener for me that I

0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:07.360
<v Speaker 2>wasn't involved in a lot and I'm thinking to myself,

0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:12.520
<v Speaker 2>how did I not get the invitation? But yeah, it

0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:14.639
<v Speaker 2>is what it is. I think that you're right, and

0:20:14.760 --> 0:20:17.200
<v Speaker 2>thank you for acknowledging that, you know, I was hyping

0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:20.879
<v Speaker 2>others up and I was missing vital, vital, vital conversations.

0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:24.639
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I don't know that answer rather than I

0:20:24.800 --> 0:20:27.959
<v Speaker 2>wasn't invited or I missed that I could see them

0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:31.119
<v Speaker 2>lingering and walking over to that room where the conversation

0:20:31.320 --> 0:20:34.680
<v Speaker 2>would be held. Yeah, rookie era.

0:20:35.280 --> 0:20:38.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, before I even did Big Brother in twenty twelve,

0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:41.639
<v Speaker 1>someone who'd done the show before said to me, housemates

0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:45.880
<v Speaker 1>are like vampires, and they will drain what they need

0:20:45.960 --> 0:20:48.800
<v Speaker 1>from you, and once they've got it, they move on.

0:20:49.600 --> 0:20:51.840
<v Speaker 1>And so the way I did the show was I

0:20:51.960 --> 0:20:54.800
<v Speaker 1>made sure that they were never taking everything from me.

0:20:55.440 --> 0:20:57.560
<v Speaker 1>And yet while you were doing the show, I think

0:20:57.600 --> 0:20:59.920
<v Speaker 1>you are one hundred and ten percent. In the real world,

0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:03.040
<v Speaker 1>you are one hundred and ten percent. Do you think

0:21:03.080 --> 0:21:06.360
<v Speaker 1>maybe that you gave yourself up to these people too much,

0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:08.000
<v Speaker 1>not leaving yourself with enough.

0:21:08.359 --> 0:21:11.600
<v Speaker 2>I wish I knew that analogy before I went into

0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:14.840
<v Speaker 2>the house, because now I understand why so many people

0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:18.560
<v Speaker 2>did come to me with their problems, because maybe they

0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:22.480
<v Speaker 2>were distracting me. And you know, like I guess the

0:21:22.560 --> 0:21:25.040
<v Speaker 2>old saying is, they were probably taking everything out of

0:21:25.119 --> 0:21:27.359
<v Speaker 2>my tank, so I didn't have anything left for myself.

0:21:28.280 --> 0:21:33.119
<v Speaker 2>But you know, in this beautiful world called you know,

0:21:35.359 --> 0:21:37.680
<v Speaker 2>you put out what you get back. And I'm proud

0:21:37.760 --> 0:21:40.520
<v Speaker 2>of the fact that, you know, Alicia was having, you know,

0:21:40.720 --> 0:21:44.159
<v Speaker 2>some down moments talking about some personal things, and I

0:21:44.280 --> 0:21:46.480
<v Speaker 2>flipped the script for her. I made her laugh and

0:21:46.600 --> 0:21:49.200
<v Speaker 2>things like that, and you know, like I had some

0:21:49.400 --> 0:21:54.199
<v Speaker 2>heartfelt conversations with Josh that even you know, convinced him

0:21:54.200 --> 0:21:56.440
<v Speaker 2>to stay. And he's like the most stubborn person I've

0:21:56.440 --> 0:21:59.879
<v Speaker 2>ever met. So I have to understand that, yes, the

0:22:00.400 --> 0:22:05.480
<v Speaker 2>sunshine and this positivity girl has different sides, and the

0:22:05.600 --> 0:22:10.240
<v Speaker 2>depth is really really powerful, and I hope that the

0:22:10.359 --> 0:22:14.239
<v Speaker 2>conversations I did have in the house were meaningful as

0:22:14.280 --> 0:22:15.280
<v Speaker 2>much as what they meant to me.

0:22:16.000 --> 0:22:20.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, people inside this particular social experiment can be

0:22:20.760 --> 0:22:23.600
<v Speaker 1>very different to the way they act in real life.

0:22:23.840 --> 0:22:27.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I again was told by a producer before

0:22:27.280 --> 0:22:30.920
<v Speaker 1>doing the show that you an extroverted person can be

0:22:31.520 --> 0:22:35.480
<v Speaker 1>become introverted, an introverted person can become extroverted, So people

0:22:35.600 --> 0:22:38.639
<v Speaker 1>inside this experiment can be very different. Were you surprised

0:22:38.720 --> 0:22:42.320
<v Speaker 1>that some people have been vastly different to who they

0:22:42.400 --> 0:22:49.399
<v Speaker 1>were inside the show? Inside the house, I don't know.

0:22:50.240 --> 0:22:53.640
<v Speaker 2>How to be anything other than myself, So I guess

0:22:53.800 --> 0:22:57.560
<v Speaker 2>I take pride in the fact that what I've watched

0:22:57.760 --> 0:23:01.520
<v Speaker 2>is exactly what I'm like, you know, on an everyday basis,

0:23:01.680 --> 0:23:06.120
<v Speaker 2>except you know, the conditions are very very different. But yeah,

0:23:06.359 --> 0:23:12.200
<v Speaker 2>it's it's interesting to think that, you know, like, we're

0:23:12.200 --> 0:23:14.880
<v Speaker 2>all so different in our own ways, and that's great.

0:23:14.960 --> 0:23:17.000
<v Speaker 2>While we all can't be the same, because otherwise the

0:23:17.040 --> 0:23:20.879
<v Speaker 2>world will be different. But I kind of have connected

0:23:20.920 --> 0:23:24.120
<v Speaker 2>to the people that I've connected with because I guess

0:23:24.160 --> 0:23:26.560
<v Speaker 2>they choose me, and they choose me, choose me loudly

0:23:26.840 --> 0:23:30.560
<v Speaker 2>and they choose me proudly and other people haven't chosen me,

0:23:30.920 --> 0:23:40.040
<v Speaker 2>and that's okay, But it's interesting because the real conversations

0:23:40.080 --> 0:23:42.000
<v Speaker 2>that I did have with them in the house, I thought,

0:23:43.640 --> 0:23:46.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, they would never put me in positions that

0:23:46.600 --> 0:23:52.879
<v Speaker 2>I was in. So yeah, to answer that question, I

0:23:53.600 --> 0:23:57.399
<v Speaker 2>expect the unexpected. Everyone's surprising me lately. Everyone.

0:23:58.000 --> 0:24:01.119
<v Speaker 1>Side note. The other day when we were at the

0:24:01.680 --> 0:24:04.359
<v Speaker 1>launch party in Melbourne, You're launch party four, Big Brother,

0:24:04.840 --> 0:24:06.600
<v Speaker 1>I said to you that you have a double ganger,

0:24:06.840 --> 0:24:08.520
<v Speaker 1>and I think I've worked it out. Is it a

0:24:08.600 --> 0:24:12.600
<v Speaker 1>mashup of Cameron Diaz and Anna Faris from you know

0:24:12.720 --> 0:24:13.359
<v Speaker 1>scary movie?

0:24:13.520 --> 0:24:16.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh please please do not say that. So Cameron Diaz,

0:24:16.680 --> 0:24:19.920
<v Speaker 2>I love that's That's that actually sits well with me.

0:24:20.440 --> 0:24:24.159
<v Speaker 2>The Anna one not so much because she pulls a

0:24:24.240 --> 0:24:28.040
<v Speaker 2>lot of crazy faces and she is crazy in most movies.

0:24:28.160 --> 0:24:30.040
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, you're probably right, damn you.

0:24:30.640 --> 0:24:34.200
<v Speaker 1>So we saw some hilarious antics of yours, which we've

0:24:34.240 --> 0:24:36.560
<v Speaker 1>seen on the extras Channel seven mainked and you know

0:24:36.720 --> 0:24:40.000
<v Speaker 1>we've seen it on the socials. What's a storyline that

0:24:40.119 --> 0:24:42.879
<v Speaker 1>we didn't see on the main channel that we that

0:24:43.040 --> 0:24:45.840
<v Speaker 1>maybe you think as an audience, we've been robbed.

0:24:46.119 --> 0:24:51.639
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, I guess my purpose of like really really

0:24:52.160 --> 0:24:56.000
<v Speaker 2>wanting people to understand is like I got barely bullied

0:24:56.520 --> 0:25:01.760
<v Speaker 2>in school from grade one to y're a because you know,

0:25:02.480 --> 0:25:05.480
<v Speaker 2>I had thick, thick glasses because I had astigmatism in

0:25:05.520 --> 0:25:10.000
<v Speaker 2>my eye and you can't wear cool glasses when you've

0:25:10.040 --> 0:25:15.879
<v Speaker 2>got such damaged eyes. But I think also I just

0:25:16.160 --> 0:25:20.680
<v Speaker 2>wanted you know, the public to understand that even the

0:25:20.800 --> 0:25:23.159
<v Speaker 2>hardest times that I went through in school, when they

0:25:23.240 --> 0:25:25.919
<v Speaker 2>were really really difficult, like in high school, I think

0:25:25.960 --> 0:25:28.560
<v Speaker 2>I got called a surfboard every minute of the day

0:25:28.640 --> 0:25:30.960
<v Speaker 2>because I believe it or not, I didn't have a

0:25:31.080 --> 0:25:33.480
<v Speaker 2>chest and now I do when it's real and spectacular,

0:25:33.560 --> 0:25:37.840
<v Speaker 2>just in case anyone wanted to know. But the point

0:25:37.880 --> 0:25:40.560
<v Speaker 2>of the story is life goes on and you do

0:25:41.440 --> 0:25:45.639
<v Speaker 2>still get some joyful, joyful times in life after you

0:25:45.720 --> 0:25:49.720
<v Speaker 2>know such a you know, heartaching time of my life.

0:25:50.160 --> 0:25:53.879
<v Speaker 2>I wanted kids today to understand and believe and have

0:25:54.040 --> 0:25:57.680
<v Speaker 2>hope that just because things happen to you when you're

0:25:57.720 --> 0:26:01.040
<v Speaker 2>younger for all different reasons, doesn't and it's all you know,

0:26:01.119 --> 0:26:04.399
<v Speaker 2>doom and gloom, you know, like there you can you

0:26:04.480 --> 0:26:07.640
<v Speaker 2>can overcome it and I am still the bubbliest person

0:26:07.720 --> 0:26:10.600
<v Speaker 2>in the room when I have every reason to to,

0:26:10.840 --> 0:26:14.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, to lose faith in in in humans and

0:26:15.000 --> 0:26:17.960
<v Speaker 2>to you know, be be disappointed in how I was treated.

0:26:18.400 --> 0:26:21.639
<v Speaker 2>But instead I love fiercely as you could see, and

0:26:21.880 --> 0:26:24.879
<v Speaker 2>I love freely. But I also you know, want everyone

0:26:24.960 --> 0:26:28.760
<v Speaker 2>to be seen and heard and accepted. And if I

0:26:28.840 --> 0:26:31.280
<v Speaker 2>could just you know, give one message, it is that

0:26:32.920 --> 0:26:35.880
<v Speaker 2>when this is happening to you, it's not you personally,

0:26:35.960 --> 0:26:38.800
<v Speaker 2>it's whatever that person you know is going through at

0:26:38.800 --> 0:26:41.160
<v Speaker 2>the time. But also it's doing you a favor because

0:26:41.200 --> 0:26:44.600
<v Speaker 2>it's got it's eliminating you from people that aren't your

0:26:45.040 --> 0:26:48.240
<v Speaker 2>your tribe. It's it's creating another tribe for you that

0:26:48.840 --> 0:26:52.200
<v Speaker 2>is bigger and will understand you, you know more, because

0:26:53.040 --> 0:26:55.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, you don't want to be around people that

0:26:55.920 --> 0:26:58.119
<v Speaker 2>you know, say all those nasty things about you.

0:26:58.560 --> 0:27:01.399
<v Speaker 1>I think there was a lot of positivity about who

0:27:01.480 --> 0:27:03.840
<v Speaker 1>you were on the show. But I want to know

0:27:03.920 --> 0:27:07.560
<v Speaker 1>from you watching it back, what's your favorite moment. What's

0:27:07.600 --> 0:27:10.240
<v Speaker 1>something that happened in the series that you're glad that

0:27:10.320 --> 0:27:11.320
<v Speaker 1>Australia got to see?

0:27:12.080 --> 0:27:15.440
<v Speaker 2>Uh in the deleted scenes? Yeah, but you mean on

0:27:15.560 --> 0:27:24.400
<v Speaker 2>the show on the show. Well, the snippets that I saw,

0:27:24.760 --> 0:27:29.040
<v Speaker 2>there was always me, you know, consoling someone like Estelle

0:27:29.200 --> 0:27:32.439
<v Speaker 2>got nominated and she was crying and I gave her

0:27:32.480 --> 0:27:34.440
<v Speaker 2>a kiss on the cheek because I just don't hold

0:27:34.520 --> 0:27:37.440
<v Speaker 2>back with affection. It's a good thing and a bad thing.

0:27:38.280 --> 0:27:47.159
<v Speaker 2>And also, I guess I was always me. I was

0:27:47.240 --> 0:27:52.840
<v Speaker 2>always trying, you know, to just radiate the joy that

0:27:53.400 --> 0:27:59.560
<v Speaker 2>we all need sometimes. And yeah, I the scenes that

0:27:59.720 --> 0:28:05.720
<v Speaker 2>weren't shown were my favorite, and that's the getting to

0:28:05.800 --> 0:28:07.879
<v Speaker 2>know your housemates the most. I just thought that that

0:28:08.040 --> 0:28:11.080
<v Speaker 2>was the most joyful scene, not just because of the

0:28:11.160 --> 0:28:15.520
<v Speaker 2>tap dancing, but I like, we actually thought Estelle could

0:28:15.720 --> 0:28:19.639
<v Speaker 2>play violin. Like we were just so you know, excited

0:28:19.760 --> 0:28:22.840
<v Speaker 2>and so happy that we were doing something, you know,

0:28:23.000 --> 0:28:26.159
<v Speaker 2>in that joyful moment that no right or wrong or

0:28:26.680 --> 0:28:30.480
<v Speaker 2>like whether or not there was talent, it didn't matter.

0:28:30.600 --> 0:28:33.520
<v Speaker 2>It was just we just saw so much in it

0:28:33.680 --> 0:28:36.359
<v Speaker 2>that everything just got blurred out, like we thought that

0:28:36.720 --> 0:28:39.680
<v Speaker 2>we were all talented because I guess we were just

0:28:39.760 --> 0:28:40.320
<v Speaker 2>in that moment.

0:28:40.600 --> 0:28:41.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, we're going to check that out.

0:28:41.960 --> 0:28:42.040
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:28:42.080 --> 0:28:44.160
<v Speaker 1>We're going to play a little clip from what is

0:28:44.240 --> 0:28:46.120
<v Speaker 1>being played on the extras. This is something just a

0:28:46.160 --> 0:28:48.560
<v Speaker 1>little bit extra that people might not have seen, and

0:28:48.680 --> 0:28:51.160
<v Speaker 1>you can catch up on seven Mate and on the

0:28:51.240 --> 0:28:52.000
<v Speaker 1>social channels.

0:28:54.320 --> 0:28:56.560
<v Speaker 3>Are you looking forward to opening a delivery from home?

0:28:56.800 --> 0:28:57.080
<v Speaker 1>I am?

0:28:57.240 --> 0:28:57.920
<v Speaker 2>I really am.

0:28:58.880 --> 0:29:02.280
<v Speaker 4>Well, now there's something a little different about your package.

0:29:02.520 --> 0:29:06.560
<v Speaker 4>Oh how so instead of your box containing a personal

0:29:06.680 --> 0:29:11.320
<v Speaker 4>item special to you, it's not actually yours. Big Brother

0:29:11.400 --> 0:29:14.200
<v Speaker 4>has a secret mission for you. Your task is to

0:29:14.280 --> 0:29:18.200
<v Speaker 4>open the box and convince your housemaids this random item

0:29:18.280 --> 0:29:22.320
<v Speaker 4>does indeed hold a special place in your heart. You

0:29:22.480 --> 0:29:25.200
<v Speaker 4>must come up with a believable story on the spot

0:29:26.080 --> 0:29:29.160
<v Speaker 4>and sell it hard. You cannot see it, yeah, until

0:29:29.200 --> 0:29:29.800
<v Speaker 4>you get out there.

0:29:30.120 --> 0:29:32.400
<v Speaker 2>So when I was a little girl, I got really

0:29:32.400 --> 0:29:35.600
<v Speaker 2>badly bullied and I used to watch movies and just

0:29:35.760 --> 0:29:38.000
<v Speaker 2>want to be like everybody else because that mean I

0:29:38.040 --> 0:29:40.400
<v Speaker 2>didn't have to live the life that I lived. If

0:29:40.480 --> 0:29:43.160
<v Speaker 2>I could just tap, maybe I could be someone else

0:29:43.280 --> 0:29:43.640
<v Speaker 2>for a day.

0:29:44.000 --> 0:29:45.600
<v Speaker 1>So how beautiful?

0:29:46.400 --> 0:29:49.200
<v Speaker 2>And these tahoes really got me through some really hot

0:29:50.720 --> 0:29:53.240
<v Speaker 2>can you tap for us? Oh? Is they gonna fig

0:29:53.360 --> 0:29:57.320
<v Speaker 2>me out? Like? All right, I'll give you a shuffle.

0:30:09.880 --> 0:30:12.640
<v Speaker 1>One thing I like to say to people when they've

0:30:12.720 --> 0:30:14.560
<v Speaker 1>come out of Big Brother is you know, yes, we've

0:30:14.600 --> 0:30:16.720
<v Speaker 1>all gone on the show to you know, win two

0:30:16.800 --> 0:30:19.600
<v Speaker 1>hundred and fifty thousand dollars and take the title, or

0:30:19.920 --> 0:30:22.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, I don't know, you know, get a job

0:30:22.640 --> 0:30:25.560
<v Speaker 1>on Totally Wild or whatever. But I always say to people,

0:30:25.640 --> 0:30:29.400
<v Speaker 1>whether we or lose, you always get something. Do you

0:30:29.600 --> 0:30:32.880
<v Speaker 1>think that this Big Brother experience came into your life

0:30:33.320 --> 0:30:35.240
<v Speaker 1>for the right reason? Do you think it's put you

0:30:35.320 --> 0:30:36.080
<v Speaker 1>on a better path?

0:30:36.560 --> 0:30:39.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Definitely. Everything happens for a reason. And I believe

0:30:39.160 --> 0:30:42.280
<v Speaker 2>that we gravitate to where we're meant to be or

0:30:43.080 --> 0:30:47.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, what we should you know, you know, try

0:30:47.520 --> 0:30:51.280
<v Speaker 2>or learn about self. Reflection is a big thing for me.

0:30:51.600 --> 0:30:59.120
<v Speaker 2>Like I learned a lot about myself watching myself and others,

0:30:59.840 --> 0:31:03.880
<v Speaker 2>and it is that I still am very sensitive and

0:31:04.040 --> 0:31:05.680
<v Speaker 2>as much as you know, I've done a lot of

0:31:05.720 --> 0:31:08.880
<v Speaker 2>work on myself and therapy and therapy and therapy to

0:31:09.120 --> 0:31:12.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, to become the person that I am today.

0:31:13.400 --> 0:31:18.480
<v Speaker 2>You know, growth is a dance, like it can be

0:31:18.560 --> 0:31:22.840
<v Speaker 2>triggered and it happens. It's not a light switch. You

0:31:22.920 --> 0:31:26.800
<v Speaker 2>don't just forget about things just like that. Like it's

0:31:26.920 --> 0:31:30.920
<v Speaker 2>it's tricky. So I think the thing is with me

0:31:31.320 --> 0:31:34.040
<v Speaker 2>is what will be will be and there's a lot

0:31:34.080 --> 0:31:35.959
<v Speaker 2>of closed doors in the world. You better have an

0:31:35.960 --> 0:31:40.000
<v Speaker 2>interesting knock. My interesting knock is on Male of Melbourne.

0:31:40.320 --> 0:31:44.680
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, I'm proud of everything I brought into that

0:31:44.800 --> 0:31:47.280
<v Speaker 2>house because I can honestly tell you I sleep very

0:31:47.320 --> 0:31:51.440
<v Speaker 2>well at night knowing that I'm magnified everyone's greatness and

0:31:51.600 --> 0:31:55.320
<v Speaker 2>I made everyone feel like they are a somebody and

0:31:55.480 --> 0:31:56.600
<v Speaker 2>they've got a lot to offer.

0:31:58.480 --> 0:32:00.600
<v Speaker 1>So something I'm gonna do to say to celebrate Big

0:32:00.680 --> 0:32:03.280
<v Speaker 1>Brother twenty one years is I'm going to go back

0:32:03.400 --> 0:32:06.720
<v Speaker 1>and ask Gretel Colleen's top ten questions to all the

0:32:06.960 --> 0:32:09.600
<v Speaker 1>eliminated housemates. So we're going to go, what did you

0:32:09.720 --> 0:32:12.920
<v Speaker 1>miss the most inside the Big Brother House?

0:32:13.160 --> 0:32:15.480
<v Speaker 2>Please don't say mobile phone, Please don't say mobile phone.

0:32:16.200 --> 0:32:18.840
<v Speaker 2>I miss conversations with my mum. My mum's a very,

0:32:19.000 --> 0:32:23.160
<v Speaker 2>very wise lady, and I actually was quoting a lot

0:32:23.400 --> 0:32:26.280
<v Speaker 2>of her quotes in the house that even Tim recited

0:32:26.320 --> 0:32:28.880
<v Speaker 2>a few times, which was mind blowing because I didn't

0:32:28.880 --> 0:32:32.200
<v Speaker 2>think I could have impact on him, considering apparently, you know,

0:32:32.520 --> 0:32:36.160
<v Speaker 2>I was trying too harder on too much. But anyway, Yeah,

0:32:36.480 --> 0:32:40.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm my mum. I have really really deep conversations with

0:32:40.840 --> 0:32:42.880
<v Speaker 2>my mum, and she's my role model.

0:32:43.040 --> 0:32:47.600
<v Speaker 1>Who was your favorite person? Who was your favorite housemates?

0:32:48.000 --> 0:32:52.520
<v Speaker 2>Dave? Definitely Dave. Oh how could we not? How could

0:32:52.520 --> 0:32:53.640
<v Speaker 2>I not say Dave?

0:32:55.040 --> 0:32:59.560
<v Speaker 1>Who was your least favorite person inside the Big Brother House?

0:33:00.640 --> 0:33:04.840
<v Speaker 2>Wow? I don't really like to answer these questions because

0:33:04.840 --> 0:33:13.480
<v Speaker 2>it's not mal friendly. The least person, I'm sorry, Tim,

0:33:14.080 --> 0:33:18.440
<v Speaker 2>was you because I was very intimidated to like really

0:33:18.800 --> 0:33:21.920
<v Speaker 2>have honest, vulnerable chats.

0:33:22.680 --> 0:33:27.520
<v Speaker 1>So who had the most annoying habit inside the house?

0:33:28.280 --> 0:33:32.160
<v Speaker 2>Uh? Oh, Alicia. One day she picked up all her

0:33:32.240 --> 0:33:37.880
<v Speaker 2>nails and left them on the you know, the lounge

0:33:37.920 --> 0:33:41.880
<v Speaker 2>room table for days. And I know, and I like

0:33:42.360 --> 0:33:46.360
<v Speaker 2>couldn't believe that, like it was okay, like like she

0:33:46.480 --> 0:33:47.880
<v Speaker 2>didn't think that that was a bad thing.

0:33:50.160 --> 0:33:52.520
<v Speaker 1>Who was the funniest person in the house.

0:33:52.720 --> 0:33:57.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh Dave for sure. Definitely Dave. Oh, Dave is hilarious.

0:33:57.560 --> 0:34:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Who was the laziest person in the house?

0:34:00.400 --> 0:34:03.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh, poorly shut But she admitted it. She said that

0:34:03.280 --> 0:34:07.240
<v Speaker 2>she didn't really have the like she didn't she didn't

0:34:07.280 --> 0:34:10.640
<v Speaker 2>really know how to participate in cooking and stuff like that,

0:34:10.840 --> 0:34:14.560
<v Speaker 2>because you know, like she just it wasn't her strength.

0:34:16.000 --> 0:34:21.000
<v Speaker 2>So still, Alicia, because I don't think I yeah, no

0:34:21.080 --> 0:34:22.759
<v Speaker 2>one actually omitted it except her.

0:34:22.920 --> 0:34:26.880
<v Speaker 1>To me, what is your greatest regret?

0:34:27.280 --> 0:34:32.040
<v Speaker 2>Ah, my greatest regret was probably I didn't And I

0:34:32.120 --> 0:34:34.600
<v Speaker 2>don't like the word regret because regret haunts me. And

0:34:35.080 --> 0:34:38.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm so okay with with everything that's you know, happened

0:34:38.840 --> 0:34:42.600
<v Speaker 2>and the experience. However, the male that's a flight attendant

0:34:44.320 --> 0:34:47.919
<v Speaker 2>is fierce, it's unstoppable, and I just I didn't think

0:34:47.960 --> 0:34:51.520
<v Speaker 2>I showed that, or I didn't really think it had

0:34:51.640 --> 0:34:55.719
<v Speaker 2>time to come out yet, because you know, I was

0:34:55.880 --> 0:34:59.719
<v Speaker 2>so about joy, like my motto is never postponed joy.

0:35:00.000 --> 0:35:03.920
<v Speaker 2>Because we had those two years of uncertainty, I just

0:35:04.520 --> 0:35:07.000
<v Speaker 2>don't want to add to someone's worries. I want to

0:35:07.040 --> 0:35:09.160
<v Speaker 2>ease them and I want to make them laugh and

0:35:09.239 --> 0:35:13.000
<v Speaker 2>I want to make them smile. And me concentrating on

0:35:13.120 --> 0:35:18.080
<v Speaker 2>that lost the role model I am in my workplace

0:35:18.239 --> 0:35:21.279
<v Speaker 2>that you know, nothing's below me, nothing's above me. I

0:35:22.000 --> 0:35:24.279
<v Speaker 2>make things happen. But also I think out of the

0:35:24.320 --> 0:35:28.600
<v Speaker 2>square and I've got so many proud moments where people

0:35:28.680 --> 0:35:31.440
<v Speaker 2>have gone, WHOA. I didn't think she had that in

0:35:31.520 --> 0:35:35.440
<v Speaker 2>her and I didn't show that. And that's the regret,

0:35:35.600 --> 0:35:39.800
<v Speaker 2>because there is so many different sides to me, depths funny,

0:35:40.000 --> 0:35:42.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, like the joy and everything like that. But

0:35:43.440 --> 0:35:46.160
<v Speaker 2>whoa mate? I am unstoppable when I put my mind

0:35:46.200 --> 0:35:48.680
<v Speaker 2>to something, didn't get to see it.

0:35:48.760 --> 0:35:50.640
<v Speaker 1>But who do you think is going to be out

0:35:50.719 --> 0:35:53.719
<v Speaker 1>next week? So who do you think is going to

0:35:53.800 --> 0:35:55.840
<v Speaker 1>follow you out of that Big Brother house?

0:35:56.239 --> 0:35:58.600
<v Speaker 2>It'll be the Als. It'll either be Leila or Lara,

0:35:58.920 --> 0:36:03.080
<v Speaker 2>because when I was involved in conversations their names came

0:36:03.160 --> 0:36:03.680
<v Speaker 2>up a bit.

0:36:03.719 --> 0:36:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Who do you think will win? So when you finished

0:36:06.080 --> 0:36:08.680
<v Speaker 1>up at the competition when you did, who did you

0:36:08.960 --> 0:36:10.359
<v Speaker 1>think was going to win the show?

0:36:10.600 --> 0:36:13.799
<v Speaker 2>I want Dave to win so bad, like I've got

0:36:14.320 --> 0:36:16.840
<v Speaker 2>a big Dave crush. But it's not even that, Like

0:36:16.960 --> 0:36:20.680
<v Speaker 2>I just I give credit where credits to and Dave

0:36:21.400 --> 0:36:26.520
<v Speaker 2>is a phenomenal human. However, he's also like someone that

0:36:26.719 --> 0:36:30.640
<v Speaker 2>inspires me greatly because his charity, Rough Track, is doing

0:36:30.840 --> 0:36:35.160
<v Speaker 2>so much good for people, and he would do wonders

0:36:35.200 --> 0:36:40.080
<v Speaker 2>with that money. But also he knowing that he won that,

0:36:40.440 --> 0:36:42.080
<v Speaker 2>I think it would just mean the world to him.

0:36:42.200 --> 0:36:44.520
<v Speaker 2>And if that's going to make him happy, I'm all

0:36:44.560 --> 0:36:44.880
<v Speaker 2>about it.

0:36:46.000 --> 0:36:48.680
<v Speaker 1>Well, there's some great answers there. This is something I

0:36:48.760 --> 0:36:51.680
<v Speaker 1>ask everyone that joins the podcast, What is something from

0:36:51.719 --> 0:36:55.239
<v Speaker 1>behind the scenes that we didn't see that we won't

0:36:55.280 --> 0:36:58.720
<v Speaker 1>see from your time inside the show, something from behind

0:36:58.760 --> 0:37:01.480
<v Speaker 1>the scenes of Big Brother, from your experience.

0:37:02.520 --> 0:37:03.040
<v Speaker 2>This is? This?

0:37:03.239 --> 0:37:03.719
<v Speaker 4>Was this?

0:37:04.080 --> 0:37:08.840
<v Speaker 2>I wish I wish this got aired because I in

0:37:09.320 --> 0:37:12.040
<v Speaker 2>the moment of you know how I was feeling, and

0:37:12.480 --> 0:37:14.640
<v Speaker 2>I was still able to bring some humor to that

0:37:14.719 --> 0:37:18.719
<v Speaker 2>eviction chair is I Drew looked at me and he

0:37:18.840 --> 0:37:21.400
<v Speaker 2>was like, emt with you know you okay? And I

0:37:21.560 --> 0:37:23.840
<v Speaker 2>was like, I just hope it's not another pillow toss.

0:37:23.920 --> 0:37:28.480
<v Speaker 2>And he fell off his chair and he laughed so loudly.

0:37:28.600 --> 0:37:32.120
<v Speaker 2>I've never seen Drew actually laugh uncontrollably, like he was

0:37:32.280 --> 0:37:37.040
<v Speaker 2>off his chair crying. And I just remember thinking to myself,

0:37:37.760 --> 0:37:40.680
<v Speaker 2>anytime you can bring humor to a difficult situation, you win.

0:37:40.840 --> 0:37:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Because I forgot that I could go home. Seeing Drew

0:37:44.719 --> 0:37:49.239
<v Speaker 2>laugh uncontrollably just made me think I do have a gift,

0:37:49.360 --> 0:37:53.040
<v Speaker 2>because Drew doesn't really really let loose like that. Drew

0:37:53.120 --> 0:37:57.400
<v Speaker 2>doesn't like he doesn't bally laugh no, no, bally laughing. Well,

0:37:57.400 --> 0:38:01.520
<v Speaker 2>I've never never seen him do that. And I was like, Okay,

0:38:02.440 --> 0:38:04.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna be okay, if I can still bring humor

0:38:05.080 --> 0:38:09.680
<v Speaker 2>in even like the most you know, serious sad moments

0:38:11.040 --> 0:38:13.439
<v Speaker 2>that I'm you know, going through right now. So yeah,

0:38:13.520 --> 0:38:18.160
<v Speaker 2>I just think about Drew falling off the chair laughing uncontrollably,

0:38:18.239 --> 0:38:21.279
<v Speaker 2>and just thinking I can make Drew laugh, which it's

0:38:21.640 --> 0:38:25.320
<v Speaker 2>it's not always an easy thing because he does have

0:38:25.480 --> 0:38:30.040
<v Speaker 2>a stronger exterio, thank you, because some words don't come

0:38:30.120 --> 0:38:32.960
<v Speaker 2>easy to me unless it's male friendly dialogue than I

0:38:33.000 --> 0:38:33.839
<v Speaker 2>talk about every day.

0:38:34.000 --> 0:38:36.400
<v Speaker 1>What is so your Kruger doing when that stuff is happening,

0:38:36.440 --> 0:38:39.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, I mean she's interrogating everyone. So when you

0:38:39.320 --> 0:38:41.279
<v Speaker 1>know you're making Drew laugh and he's rolling on the ground,

0:38:41.280 --> 0:38:42.839
<v Speaker 1>what it's so on your Kruger doing at that point?

0:38:43.000 --> 0:38:47.279
<v Speaker 2>Well, I remember being brother kept on saying because this

0:38:47.480 --> 0:38:50.640
<v Speaker 2>is when it was everyone's going to you know, say

0:38:50.680 --> 0:38:53.280
<v Speaker 2>their final votes and everything like that. It was serious

0:38:53.719 --> 0:38:56.440
<v Speaker 2>quiet time and very serious quite time. And it was

0:38:56.520 --> 0:38:58.760
<v Speaker 2>like being in school when your teacher says, don't say anything,

0:38:58.800 --> 0:39:00.600
<v Speaker 2>and you just have to say and then you're get

0:39:00.640 --> 0:39:04.400
<v Speaker 2>in trouble. But yeah, it was it was the quiet

0:39:04.480 --> 0:39:08.400
<v Speaker 2>time that wasn't allowed to be you know, displayed the

0:39:08.440 --> 0:39:10.800
<v Speaker 2>way it was. But I remember looking at Sonya and

0:39:10.960 --> 0:39:16.399
<v Speaker 2>I think Sonya even went. But yeah, I just wish,

0:39:16.560 --> 0:39:20.040
<v Speaker 2>I just wish the timing was better and I could have,

0:39:20.560 --> 0:39:23.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, made true laugh like that whilst we were

0:39:23.960 --> 0:39:27.920
<v Speaker 2>allowed to, you know, on a normal you know, on

0:39:28.040 --> 0:39:29.120
