Undeniably, our TV sets are a major part 0:00:16.520 --> 0:00:19.320 of our home entertainment, and yet very little is known 0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:22.079 about how our favorite shows get made. So each week 0:00:22.160 --> 0:00:24.439 I've been getting guests that want to dive just that 0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:27.240 little bit deeper into the shows they're currently making so 0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:30.000 that you can get all their exclusive stories and gain 0:00:30.080 --> 0:00:33.200 access to the biggest names in Australian television.

Both 0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:09.000 girls will chat to me about their time in the jungle. 0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:12.280 I will talk about the controversial Kerry Anne and whether 0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:16.080 Bianca had any demands going in. I will also awkwardly 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:19.319 unpack Anna's girl crush on Dom and why the two 0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:22.280 connected so hard during their time on the show.

I will also have some interesting questions 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:35.160 about hierarchy and whether the celebs with more fame have 0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:38.480 a bigger advantage. And I'll also ask some interesting questions 0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:40.560 about whether or not we should be voting for charities 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:44.160 over personalities. Plus, we will get plenty of exclusives from 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:46.720 behind the scenes if I'm a Celebrity twenty twenty three, 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:49.800 which is delighting fans on Channel ten, which you can 0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:51.560 now catch up on if you've been missing it on 0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:55.280 ten play at your convenience.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:05.560 part one of this first eliminated chat for twenty twenty three. Hi, 0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:07.520 bi Ancha, how are you Hi. 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:11.320 I'm well, I've had my coffee or maybe two copies 0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:13.800 of my day, so I'm buzzing'. 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:14.480 Yeah. 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:16.840 We'll see how she goes in a few hours. 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:21.240 Congratulations on your time in the jungle. I loved watching 0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:22.840 you in there. Did you have a lot of fun? 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:23.639 Thank you? 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:24.520 Yeah? I did. 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:27.400 I think for the first few days slash week, I 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:29.040 was kind of like, oh what am I doing here? 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:32.880 But that was definitely the energy of everyone in there. 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:35.120 Because of course it was a massive adjustment. It's not 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:37.920 something that I'm very used to. I don't camp, you know, 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:41.639 been camping like twice in my life, so that's for me. 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:44.120 You know, we're there, well, in there for seventeen days, 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:46.119 so for me to like figure it out that long 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:48.320 was pretty incredible on my behalf. 0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:49.640 But yeah, it was. 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:52.480 It was a blessing, Like honestly, yeah, once in a 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:55.160 lifetime kind of spot to be in that space and 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:58.320 to be with everyone and just really detox from all 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:00.080 things general life. 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:02.400 Well, people can't see this because this is a podcast, 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:05.280 but you look fucking gorgeous, Like, I don't know whether 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:07.360 we all need to go and spend some time in 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:10.480 the jungle, but good lord, good lord, friend, I have 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:12.359 to ask you. One of my favorite questions to ask 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:14.520 people is, now that you've been out of the jungle, 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:17.359 what sort of feedback has surprised you since you've been 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:19.680 out of there once you've spoken to say friends and 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:22.760 family and had a look on, say, social media, has 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:24.640 there been in a thing that sort of surprised you 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:27.679 about what people are saying about your time in there. 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:29.400 So I haven't. 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:31.800 I'm not the sort of person that looked at comments 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:34.720 regardless if they're positive or negative. It's probably just like 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:37.160 the best thing for me from a mental health kind 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:39.600 of point of view to just like not engage in those. 0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:43.280 So what I did engage with was my mate and 0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:46.480 just kind of getting their input and insight. And there 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:47.880 was a lot of love. There was a lot of 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:51.280 colorful words of me not saying anything to them and 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:53.360 being like, hello, we would have loved to be like 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:56.600 celebrating this and knowing before so we could get around it. 0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:59.119 And I'm like, yeah, but that's the whole suspense, that's 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:01.200 the surprise of it. And you know, they knew I 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:03.440 had a project coming up. The good thing about being 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:05.360 in the TV industry is that you can say you 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:07.520 have a project and they're going to assume it's something 0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:09.960 to do with, you know, a show of production or whatever. 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:12.280 They never want to know what it is. So yeah, 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:15.119 it was. It was really good, really positive feedback from 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:17.880 my mate. So yeah, I couldn't couldn't hope. 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:20.200 For anything else when you get the phone call to 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:22.400 go and do something like this. You know, Kerry and 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:24.680 Kelly were saying that, you know, she wanted to have 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:27.479 her makeup. Did you try and suggest anything. Did you 0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:30.360 try and say, okay, great, thank you for asking, I 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:33.240 am thinking about doing it, but X, Y and Z 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:34.680 did you have any requirements? 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:39.360 So I fully wanted to commit to the process of 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:42.159 being in the jungle. From what I've seen of the 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:45.280 shows in the years, like I didn't even think about Contraband, 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:48.280 Like I really was, like, this is the first opportunity 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:51.080 I've had over the last four years of me being 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:55.279 in this industry where I can be myself completely. I 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:58.719 don't think everyone got to see the complete sides of me, unfortunately, 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:01.880 but you know, there's that I didn't have to wear makeup. 0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:04.680 You saw my natural hair, like in general, all that 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:06.880 sort of stuff, So I really wanted to commit to that. 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:10.240 And yeah, there's not a point now, I know, going 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:13.520 on screen that I wouldn't have makeup on. So you know, 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.040 it's like I really wanted to commit to that kind 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:20.159 of effort. And you know, like, of course Terran committed 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:23.280 to putting that into a contract, and I was like, 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:26.000 you know what, sometimes people need you know that as 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:28.640 a vice, and that's so fine. I would have loved 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:31.760 to know, you know why, But you know, we didn't 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:34.719 get that, and that's fine. But outside of that, I 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:37.920 just really really wanted to commit to, yeah, just being there, 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:41.640 being present, being myself and allowing people to kind of 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:43.560 just get to know me in my natural state. 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:45.360 What was it like, I mean, you know, yes, you're 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:46.920 saying that you want to commit to it, but then 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:50.159 it's another whole thing entirely to be in there. 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:50.640 You know. 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:53.360 Was it much harder than you thought it was going 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:56.279 to be or was it just as rough as you expected? 0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:57.640 A bit of both. 0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:01.440 So it's like I knew it was going to be rough, 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:03.520 like we're going to obviously, like in the sense that 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:05.880 we you know, we didn't have to creach comfort that 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:08.480 we normally have obviously, like the bed. To me, it 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:10.000 was fine to others might a bit. 0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:10.800 Of it painful for them. 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:14.240 I didn't mind being as sleeperback, I didn't mind being outside. 0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:17.039 I actually really enjoyed it. I loved hearing nature and 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:19.520 being in nature, which was an interesting one for me 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:22.320 because normally it's a little bit different, like I could 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:26.159 be a little bit more like, oh, I don't know, it's. 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:27.200 A little bit you know. 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:29.560 I'm hearing too many things and I'm feeling too many 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:33.520 bugs on me. But outside of that, like the detoxes 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:37.279 are incredibly real. The food being taken away, like not 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:41.000 having sugar, not having like it's very minimal carbs, sort 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:43.400 of you know, protein, all of that sort of stuff. 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:45.760 You're not eating as much as you normally would. That 0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:50.080 very much hit. But once they kind of got over that. Honestly, 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:52.080 it was just that sort of thing where we're like, okay, 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:54.120 we're in here, like we're used to this, this is 0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:58.159 our norm now. Yeah, so I kind of got really 0:06:58.240 --> 0:06:59.640 used to it, and then like by the time I 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:01.960 got really used to it or kicked out, so there you. 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:04.000 Go, like all right, it's all over. 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:04.440 You know. 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:08.719 Do you think back to my phone, thank you. 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:09.000 Give me my phone back right now? 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:09.440 You know. 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:11.840 Do you think that the level of how well people 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:14.760 are known is a bit of an unfair disadvantage with 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:18.800 some celebs who may not have had as many big headlines. 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:22.480 Yeah, Like, I mean it's an interesting one because of 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:24.800 course I knew coming into this I was a new innate, 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:28.760 so that side of things was not, I guess, like 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:31.080 a surprising one to me. Like, of course, like some 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.520 of them, I've either like pick or I brought up 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:36.360 watching you know, and I was idle when he you know, 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:39.800 again there's some cultural words and was a very known 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:42.520 judge for what for what he did, and some of 0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:44.640 the others like Pete and and all of that. I 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:48.040 wasn't familiar with deb very much. Like there was a 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:50.520 lot of people in there that actually wasn't familiar of 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:53.760 So it was just good to be in there and 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:57.240 get to know everyone. I guess in a very like 0:07:57.600 --> 0:07:59.480 I know bits and pieces of you, but I really 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:01.720 just want to get to know you. So I think 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:04.760 that was like a really good benefit. Of course, when 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:06.960 we're in there, we don't know what's being talked about 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:10.160 what's going to air, what conversations are kind of happening. 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:12.440 So I think that's the biggest one that you can't 0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:15.680 really control, is you're having all of these conversations and 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:18.200 not everything's going to go to air. So yeah, I 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:22.080 think it could be an advantage. I guess if someone 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:25.240 was trying to bring back a narrative, maybe they had, 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:28.160 you know, what Zigo had of the typical, you know, 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:30.760 nasty judge sort of energy. 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:32.120 A redemption story. 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:35.440 Yeah, and you have that kind of conversation, whereas for me, 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:40.120 I'm continuing to build my career and be in this space. 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:44.200 So yeah, it is definitely a different approach. But yeah, 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:47.280 I didn't feel like there was any of those like 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:50.760 negative thoughts towards it. Like I was incredibly embraced both, 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:53.520 you know, the people in there. Some of the people 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:55.640 in there were familiar with my work anyway, so it 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:58.360 was just like, yeah, I don't know, like you just 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:01.520 never know who watches what you do. So it was 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:04.200 kind of just good that the people that knew me 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:05.800 and the ones that didn't got. 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:06.160 To know me better. 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:08.920 Absolutely. You know, I've been watching this sort of trying 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:11.640 to read between the lines. Everyone's getting along very well, 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:14.080 which is great television. But do you think some of 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:16.600 these bigger egos that are in there that it's going 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:18.640 to really cut their cut to the bone if they 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:21.920 don't win. My question is, are there people in there 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:24.560 that are going to be really upset if they don't win? 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:25.599 Absolutely? 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:28.520 I think that's it's so. I mean, if I think 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:32.120 about myself, you know, coming into it, I absolutely felt 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:34.640 like I had more gas in the tank that I 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:38.200 could keep going, and I didn't feel like I got 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:41.160 to show as much of me as I could have. 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:44.600 So if that's how I am, and you know, and 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:46.520 I'm like, oh, like I knew I had more, I 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:49.200 could have absolutely kept going. If that's kind of where 0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:51.400 I'm at, I couldn't imagine how it would. 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:53.719 Be for the people that came in. 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:57.800 Incredibly fast, loud, very used to reality television, very used 0:09:57.800 --> 0:09:58.640 to that. 0:09:58.559 --> 0:09:59.320 Sort of energy. 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:02.199 I'm used to interviewing people, I'm used to hosting things. 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:04.959 It's a very different approach to being in a group 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:08.560 of twelve, thirteen, fourteen people at any given time. So 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:13.400 I definitely think that there will be a hard kind 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:16.960 of processing because no matter what, like, I don't think 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:20.400 anyone was really ready for a elimination, let alone a 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:23.440 double elimination. And to be honest, like Anna and I 0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:25.680 were you know, good mates in there, but we did 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:28.240 hold a really good space in terms of the camp. 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:33.120 So to know how that works now will be super interesting. 0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:37.400 And no matter what, everyone's charities were incredibly like worthy 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:40.600 of you know of that of winning as well as 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:42.760 you know of course the person. But yeah, it would 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:45.120 be interesting to see how how people react when they 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:46.480 if they get kicked out. 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:50.120 Yeah, it can be very hard before you go. Something 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:52.840 I ask everyone who joins the podcast is what's something 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:55.880 from behind the scenes, something that we did not see, 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:58.600 something that maybe fans would love to know, kind of 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:00.520 like a bit of a behind the scenes secret to 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:01.640 your time in the jungle. 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:03.840 Ooh, behind the scene secret. 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:08.200 It's so interesting because again I'm not sure like one 0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:10.920 hundred percent what we showed because they've only had like 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:13.800 a few hours to kind of get across what's happened. 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:17.319 But I think they might not have seen how well, 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:19.520 like I think you would see how well we clicked together. 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:24.120 But it was a genuinely strong cust like everyone in 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:27.680 there was actually so kind. What you see is what 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:30.240 you get, Like if you saw really strong relationships. That's 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:33.120 just how it was, which I'm proud that that was 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:35.400 kind of the way that we were and it wasn't 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:37.600 just putting on a show or anything like that. Like 0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:41.240 everyone did get along really well and we connected very quickly. 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:44.000 And yeah, like some some people didn't get as much 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:47.760 time in there, and and some will have a crazy 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:50.640 amount more, but there was nothing that really stood out, 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:53.320 like until I watched back what's happened? 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:59.280 Yeah, yeah, you know, I actually thought you did very well. 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:01.480 And I also think that, you know, you, unlike some 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:03.520 of the others, are at the beginning of your career. 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:04.880 I feel like we're going to get to see a 0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:07.240 lot more of you after this as well. I think 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:09.000 it's great that this is sort of up to the 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:11.320 antie of making you more of a household name. I've 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:13.960 loved watching you in there, and I'll be in your audience, 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:16.360 So I just want to say thank you for being 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:18.400 so amazing and for being so generous and chatting with 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:19.040 me this morning. 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:21.280 Of course, thank you so much, and thank you so 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:24.960 much for watching and engaging and coming into my audience now. 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:28.600 It's so nice to Yeah, yes, obsessed with you. I've 0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:29.200 got the tea shirt. 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:29.840 Thank you. 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:35.120 So much energy from Bianca, which I love. Some interesting 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:37.719 thoughts on fame and if that is playing into the 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:41.480 voting in any way. Anyway, let's bring Anna into the podcast. 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:44.480 I hope you enjoy Part two of this first eliminated 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:48.000 chat for twenty twenty three. Hi Anna, how are you? 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:48.480 Ben? 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:51.320 I am fantastic, A little bit upset, you know, I 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:54.000 didn't want to leave so early. I mean, at one 0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:57.040 stage I was thinking about staying and getting escorted out 0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:59.599 by security. But I don't know that was going to 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:02.920 be or bad TV. So I decided to do the 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:04.840 right thing and follow the rules and leap. 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:05.360 Yeah. 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:07.360 I once didn't get asked to do a reality show 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:08.520 that I wanted to do, and I was going to 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:10.559 do the other thing, which was just turn up and 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:13.360 just be like hey, and so maybe if you haven't 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:15.560 had your celebrity fix, you could just turn up again 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:16.080 next year. 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:16.400 Yeah. 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:18.439 Can you imagine me trying to jump the face to 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:18.959 getting there? 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:22.800 People all have thought about doing that, I'm sure, yeah, 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:23.560 one hundred percent. 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:26.760 I mean, what an experience. I loved it. It was great. 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:28.920 Well, I'm excited to be talking to you because I 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:32.280 loved you on Snack Masters and other shows. But this 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:34.560 this must have been really challenging for you compared to 0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:36.160 some of those other TV roles you've had. 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:38.319 Yeah, I was just out of my comfort zone, and I. 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:41.199 Think me going in there was always about feeling uncomfortable. 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:43.120 That was a challenge for me. I didn't want to 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:45.640 go into something that was easy. I wanted to go 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:48.560 on something that's challenging because I don't like obviously camp 0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:51.120 I don't. I'm scared of the dark. I'm scared of 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:54.080 spiders and snakes and just everything that the Jungle was 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:56.560 about I'm scared of. But then I knew that I 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:58.720 was going to come out as a better person and 0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:02.680 more explore or up for challenges and stuff. 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:04.160 That was important for me too. 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:08.320 I think you have a really strong following with people 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:11.320 along the fan forums. I've been watching the show and 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:13.280 I read the fan forums. Don't do that when you 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:15.360 are one of the contestants. That can be a bit hectic, 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:18.120 But I have to say you and Bianca had such 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:21.160 a strong and warm connection with a lot of people 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:23.960 who were absolutely devastated to see you go in that 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:25.440 first double elimination. 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:28.360 Yeah, I know that on mindset it's been going crazy, 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:33.040 and I know it's going wild on Slip as well, but. 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:33.720 That's quite nice. 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:35.880 Yeah, you know, And it doesn't matter if your first 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:38.360 or love, it doesn't matter. I mean to make sure 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:41.720 that you get your charity across is really important. 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:45.240 Awareness, but it's also important to get the maximum out 0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:46.320 of being there as well. 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:49.120 You have a great charity though. You just mentioned that then. 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:50.520 And I want to talk to you about this because 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:52.640 I read on one of the fan sites earlier today 0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:56.800 that they think voters should be thinking more about which 0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:59.720 charity they want to vote for and where they want 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:01.560 that much I need to go, rather than voting for 0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:04.640 a celebrity who may have the biggest personality. How does 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:05.680 that all land with you. 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:08.720 I just think it is open for the general public, 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:11.080 and I think they should vote what she was right 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:13.720 for them, you know, And sometimes we fall in love 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:17.720 with personalities. Sometimes it's the charity of choice. But I think, 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:19.920 you know, again, it is open for the public. 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:21.800 And we should allow them to just go nuts for it. 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:23.840 You know what she was right for you Because each 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:28.080 charity was special, then each charity had a purpose as well, 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:30.040 so no charity was better than another. 0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:31.120 That's how I see it. 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:32.520 I think that's a good way to look at it. 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:36.160 You know, in the elimination that we saw whilst you 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:39.280 were talking to doctor Chris Brown and Julia Morris, it 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:41.360 sounded like you have a bit of a girl crush 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:44.320 on Dom Am I reading into something. I mean, is 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:46.520 every one of the girl they all got girl crushes 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:47.960 on her? I mean, what's going on here? 0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:52.160 No, Dom and I just built a very strong relationship 0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:55.040 as a friendship. I mean she spoke about her partner, 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:55.960 I spoke about mine. 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:58.840 We spoke about ours, the babies together, you know, and 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:01.040 don't forget when I was read down, Don was there 0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:03.320 for me, and when she was really down, I was 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:05.360 there for her. So I don't think Australia got to 0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:09.000 see that side because we both had dumb moments and. 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:11.360 Australia really didn't see that. So we're always comforting. 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:13.840 I mean, Gon, for me, was the first person to 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:16.240 know what I was going through, and we spoke about it, 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:18.200 and I try to hold it as black. 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:20.280 As I've called from the campmates. And then there's a 0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:23.040 lot of sensitive times that Don went through that I 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:25.280 was just beside her and saying, you know, Australia loves 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:27.040 your baby. You're going to do this, You're going to 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:27.560 smash it. 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:30.320 I'm here for you. And every night we just will 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:33.520 chat like we don't forget. We'll bed buddies as well, 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:36.040 like side by side. So we spent a lot of 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:40.680 time just chatting, chatting about life, chatting about what we're after, family, 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:42.120 loved ones, everything. 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:44.920 So I say, the best friends, you know, And that 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:46.800 was the thing. Like I loved Dom. 0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:50.600 I think she's gorgeous and it's not a girl crush. 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:54.320 It's more of a beautiful friendship more than anything. I 0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:56.000 have a lover of fourteen years. 0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:56.760 I know you do. 0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:58.040 I know you did it. I didn't want to be 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:00.320 I'm not being disrespectful to that as well, because you 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:03.120 can have a non sexual goal crush. And I was saying, 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.119 you know, maybe everyone's got a crush on Dom this 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:07.879 season because we are seeing a very different side to 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:10.560 her than what I think fans who may have seen 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:12.720 her married at first sight had seen. You know, she 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:15.439 seems to be having a real redemption story with a 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:16.960 lot of the people watching the show. 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:20.360 I admired Dom, you know, and I think that's where 0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:21.840 that comes into it. 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:23.600 It was funny that you said that about Cruss because 0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:27.480 Nathan's like, oh now I really like domce I'm over 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:30.040 Asia and I'm open Nathan. So maybe it's such a 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:33.200
