On the podcast, I have superstar Intruder Brenton, 0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:39.639 who has been eliminated at that final hurdle. Brenton entered 0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:42.360 the competition with one of the funniest game plans to 0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:46.240 start with, which was quickly mixed. For his challenge b status, 0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:49.760 the actor turned TV star, pulled off some great moves 0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:52.479 and proved to some of the biggest doubters that he 0:00:52.560 --> 0:00:55.360 was a force to be reckoned with. We talk why 0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:58.920 he entered the house, whether he genuinely thought Trevor was 0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:02.440 actually Big Brother, what he thinks about flying under the raidar, 0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:05.560 and how his time in the house won't affect he's 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:09.039 acting However, let's get started with today's guest. I'd like 0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:11.240 to welcome Brenton to tvvery load. 0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:14.520 I guess I wasn't. 0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:17.640 I didn't come across as, in my opinion, a big player. 0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:21.080 We've been through a lot together, haven't we. 0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:24.480 Lasting first out, so I'm trying to get rid of 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:26.640 me straight away this year. 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:29.280 It's my twenty first birthday. 0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:35.000 I really wish I was there when Josh was there, and. 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:40.200 I've invited housemates both new and legendary. 0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:43.800 It was definitely a choice being in the Big Brother house. 0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:49.480 Will experience be enough to take on the next generation 0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:50.720 of housemaid? 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:53.400 She's not going to let me ever go on the 0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:53.840 show again. 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:55.639 Yes, he's Big Brother. 0:01:57.680 --> 0:01:59.160 Hi, Brenon, how are. 0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:03.559 You feeling good? Feeling good? I was evicted last night? Yeah? 0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:07.880 Yeah, yeah, A bunch of dogs feeling good considering I 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:11.480 was evicted, But honestly, regarding who's sitting there in the 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:14.480 top three, I'm very proud and I would not substitute 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:16.400 any of them for any of the other housemates. 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:19.200 Wow. And then my first question has to be this, 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:22.280 did you really think that Trevor was Big Brother? 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:23.919 Not at all, Not at all. 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.399 I think like I came in on the back foot obviously, 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:30.160 and I wanted to be the physical threat guy and 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:32.720 maybe bully people around, like be that big presence. And 0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:34.480 as soon as they started saying you're the new goal, 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:36.400 You're the new challenge beast, I took the back foot. 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:39.320 I'm like, okay, no, I don't know what a challenged beast. 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:41.320 I don't know what's big brother. So I kind of 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:44.560 really pushed that card. And yeah, Trevor fell in the 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:45.280 firing line. 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:49.400 There, But were you playing into something that wasn't really sustainable? 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:51.640 I think so. I think it was the last minute 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:53.320 decisions to just play the dumb guy. 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:56.200 I think because the whole as you know, with intruders, 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:58.880 that's they say, last in, first out, So trying to 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:00.600 get rid of me straight away. So I had to, 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:04.840 I guess, come off not so threatening and just just 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.280 mom harmless, still good, keep me around guys, it's. 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:09.680 You know, take care of you. So it worked for 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:10.960 a while for. 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:13.880 A while for you, I think, But I think the 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:15.920 audience was like, what game is this guy playing? 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:18.680 Yeah, I don't think the audience liked it very much. 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:22.000 It was it's iconic. It's an iconic moment. I mean 0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:23.600 I don't think anyone has ever turned up in the 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:27.320 Big Brother House pretending that they know absolutely nothing about 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:30.520 the show, which led everyone online saying, how much did 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:34.120 the producers tell you before you even went in there? Yeah? 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:36.360 I mean to be fair, like, I think I got 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:38.360 three days notice. I was trying to get my affairs 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:40.600 and my work and wife and everything in order, so 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:43.240 I couldn't do that much research anyway, but it was 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:44.800 certainly I kinda chose to play. 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:47.680 How did Big Brother come up for you? If it's 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:51.520 such a quick turnaround? Had you applied through the normal process? 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:53.520 Did they pick you on the street because you are 0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:55.800 ridiculously good looking? How did it happen? 0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:01.160 I think I got the call about Survivor, who's obviously 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:04.840 the same producers and the same production company, and I thought, 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:06.800 you know what, Like I've been us to do a 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:08.480 lot of reality shows in the last couple of years, 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:10.560 I've always said no, like I'm a I guess because 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:12.640 I'm a trained actor. I feel like I never wanted 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:14.560 to go into that reality space, And as much as 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:17.279 I find it entertaining, I try and stick to this lane. 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:19.120 But there's something about Survivor and. 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:21.240 Big Brother that I do love. You know, I play 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:23.599 a lot of characters in my acting. You can't hide 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:25.520 behind yourself. This is who you are and this is 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:27.479 how you're going to be presented. And I chose to 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:29.719 do a Big Brother because it was a huge challenge. 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.160 It was a physical challenge, it was a mental challenge 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:34.560 being away from technology and your family and stuff. And 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:36.000 it's a good time in my life to do it, 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:36.720 so I wanted to do it. 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:38.680 And you also didn't have to be in the desert 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:42.520 or in a rainforest or have terrible conditions. They gave 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:44.800 you a bed to sleep in at night, still no food, 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:46.200 and still pretty horrendous. 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:49.039 Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean Tim Dillmer is probably just 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:51.599 as bad as the Wild, But yeah, it was pretty 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:52.760 pretty full on in there. 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:58.880 Good call, good cal. I guess it is an interesting 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:01.160 thing to go through the pro thinking about being an 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:04.960 actor and then doing reality television. Are you worried or 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:08.440 were you worried about this reality TV tag now being 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:11.160 attached to you? And do you think that that'll interfere 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:13.000 with the way in which people choose you for roles. 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:15.000 It has been a bit of a fear of mine, 0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:18.200 but like my acting agent is because I'm now swapping. 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:21.200 I'm about to go into a different agency, and they're 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:23.640 kind of saying, why did you do really, And I 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:25.280 was like, I know, I know, but the good thing 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:27.160 is I didn't make it to the final three, and 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:29.520 I guess I wasn't. I didn't come across as in 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:33.039 my opinion, a big player like some of the other guys, Like, 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:35.520 so I don't. I don't think it'll be a tag 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:37.240 on my on my life. But it was just a 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:38.279 bit of fun in the meantime. 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:41.160 Well, to be fair, there was episodes where you were 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:44.080 barely even seen. I was like, he's flying under the radar, 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:47.200 Like he isn't anywhere near the radar, He's gone, Like 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:49.800 there was a lot of episodes that we really didn't 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:50.200 see of you. 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:52.880 Yeah, those two episodes, I thought I was evicted already 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:54.680 and then I just came back later in the week. 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:57.280 But no, you're right, like there's a lot that as 0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:59.400 much as I wasn't a big game player like you know, 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:01.279 Johnson or him, there was a lot of things, a 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:03.000 lot of moments that I did have and I thought 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:05.760 that might to get it. Even the tim diction, Like 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:07.960 I was in there for three days. I didn't trust him, 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:10.360 and I love him now because I've got to know him. 0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:12.000 But for ages, I didn't get to know him and 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:14.720 I didn't trust him. So I started this whole timviction thing, 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:17.159 and I wrote a song about it, choreographed it. I 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:20.360 was waiting big day to perform this major tim diction ceremony, 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:21.719 and none of it got shown. 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:24.760 It just showed me having to cry and not knowing 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:26.159 who to choose, and he be left. 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:27.919 And in the long run, it just means that, you know, 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:30.919 you'll probably get cast in a movie with Eric Banner 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:33.720 because no one will remember you as a big brother house. 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.599 Mate absolutely, or maybe I'll be like a tree in 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:38.360 the background of Home and Away because I don't make 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:39.320 much screen presence. 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:43.599 You've got I've got on my resume. I can blend 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:44.480 into the background. 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:47.279 You know, Yeah, I can do nothing well. 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:50.040 But at the same time, you are you are an 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:53.520 attractive man, you were a lovely man. We can see 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:57.480 that you can clean up a hurricane in Yespiedos. Look, 0:06:57.839 --> 0:06:59.560 you're not the type of guy in my mind that 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:01.839 lies under the radar in your real life. 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:04.800 No, in my real life, I'm very hands on. 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:07.159 I'm my hard work I'm very driven and usually the 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:08.680 loudest person in the room, so. 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:10.880 It was definitely a choice being in the Big Brother house. 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:13.240 Like, as you know, there's a lot of big personalities 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:15.800 in front of you and if sometimes if you're the loudest, 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:18.520 that can come back to buy you. So in my house, 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:21.680 the loudest personalities were voted out a lot quicker than 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:22.040 I was. 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:24.080 So it was all a choice, a good game play. 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:26.160 So you said that you grew up you will, You 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:28.760 said that you grew to love Big Brother as the 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:31.080 time went on. Do you think that you might have 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:34.280 won if you'd had been put in at the start? 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:34.880 I don't. 0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:37.240 I don't personally think it would have made a difference, 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:40.400 and you never really know. But for me, it was 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:45.480 how I left and I did trass over really bad. 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:48.320 It wasn't shown too much, but I convinced him to 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:51.360 put up his best friend and alliance Aleisha, and before 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:52.760 that he was going to take me to the end. 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:54.320 We knew he was going to the end because he's 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:56.760 a challenge beast, and if I had not put up 0:07:56.760 --> 0:08:00.800 a Leisha and blindsided him with Reggie would have taken me. 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:03.320 I think, I really think me it just came down 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:06.000 to that last moment, that last couple episodes. 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:07.600 And how much you're beating yourself up over that at 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:07.960 the moment. 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:11.880 Sometimes I think about it at night, like, wonder what 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:13.800 it would be like if I was in the top three, 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:16.800 just because it's it is just the funnest as you know, 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:20.000 it's the funnest experience. But putting my acting career first, 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:21.880 I don't want to have that big bron the tag. 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:24.440 So I am grateful, like I just trust God. I'm 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:26.520 grateful that I left what I did. 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:30.360 Why can't intruders win this show? I mean, this is 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:33.640 Big Brother Series fifteen. I think we're up to It's 0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:36.320 been on television for twenty one years. Why do you 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:38.199 think it is the biggest hurdle for an intruder to 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:40.120 make it to the end and take the competition out. 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:43.520 I think the audience you'd probably know better than me. 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:46.200 But I think the audience just they haven't got to 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:49.559 know the intruder like they have the other housemates. They 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:52.080 also the audience might see they don't deserve it because 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:53.000 they came in halfway. 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:54.480 It's almost like when someone cuts in. 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:56.880 Line halfway down the line and you're like, why do 0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:58.559 they deserve to be ahead of me. So I think 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:02.080 there's that that thing like coming in halfway and just 0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:03.000 sneaking towards the end. 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:05.520 Yeah, I think that that's a good point. You came 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:07.319 in with Jewels, though, you know, what sort of a 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:09.559 chance did you think that Jewels would have of taking 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:10.560 the competition out. 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:13.160 I don't think Jewels made a smart move with going 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:17.120 to the OG side because she's not an OG. You 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:19.240 can fit in with them for as long as you 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:20.960 you know, you're one, and they can use you as 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:23.000 a point as a vote on their site, but at 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:25.240 the end of the day, they're going to get rid 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:26.760 of you first because you're not an OG. 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:28.680 So I don't think she had much of a chance 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:28.960 from the. 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:31.360 Start vice versa in a way, you know, Drew going 0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:34.720 and making his alliance stronger with the newbies as well, 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:38.080 you know, played the same way. You know you've for 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:41.000 some reason because of this particular format, being that it 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:44.840 kind of is OG's versus newbies, fans versus favorites. Should 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:46.920 we say, you know, you kind of have to stay 0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:48.400 in your lane, stay in your category. 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:51.440 Yeah, and you have to own that as well as 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:53.640 soon as you start picking and choosing and fighting around 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:54.120 and doing that. 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:55.880 It doesn't work, Like you just have to own where 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:56.840 you are and who you are. 0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:01.719 Well, I kept thinking to myself, does Brenton believe if 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:05.000 he goes up against Reggie and Tim in the finale? 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:08.000 You know, did you really believe that you would stand 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:08.520 out and win? 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:12.960 Now watching the season, you know play out, there's no 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:15.320 way I could have beat Reggie and And I think 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:16.800 I don't know if you've heard this yet, but we're 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:19.760 all kicking ourselves because we wanted to take Reggie to 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:22.000 the end. We wanted to be the heroes, to bring 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:24.240 the fan favorite to the end and give her the 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:27.920 glory and will win because we've done such a good move. 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:29.960 But now we're all like, why did we take it 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:30.480 so far? 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:32.600 We could have got rid of her at the start, 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:36.560 terrible with challenges and you know, all the running around 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:38.600 and stuff, but we chose to carry us. 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:39.480 I was so silly. 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:43.240 But were you buying into Tim's speech? Because Tim's there 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:46.440 selling it to you, and whilst you never really verbally 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:49.160 confirmed into it, I don't think you know, were you 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:52.360 believing what Tim was saying? And had Tim changed your mind? 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:53.320 Yeah? I did? 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:55.680 When Tim pulled me into the room and said basically 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:57.280 laid out a plan for me and him to go 0:10:57.320 --> 0:10:57.720 to the end. 0:10:57.800 --> 0:10:58.600 I did believe it. 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:01.200 We had some deep chats in the waiting room, and 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:04.240 as much as he's manipulative, I really we do have 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:06.319 a connection like he doesn't with. 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:08.240 A lot of the other housemates. So when he laid out. 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:09.760 The plan for us to go to the end and 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:11.760 for me to take him, I believed it, and I 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:14.200 knew that was my ticket to the end. So that's 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:15.679 why I was really upset at the end of the 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:17.800 episode when I had to choose between the weight to 0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:20.040 the end or my best friend, and so I was 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:21.520 really upset and really torn. 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:23.960 Well, you had this knack of getting people to do 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:26.800 all the talking, and that was interesting to watch in 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:29.880 the scrambles. Was that a deliberate tactic or is that 0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:32.240 an editing? Is that a result of the editing. 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:34.160 I'd say the editing. 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:36.960 As much as people would talk a bit more than me, 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:40.520 they really just the producers haven't shown a lot like 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:43.040 there's there's really a lot that they've missed out on 0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:47.680 a lot of my tactics or moves or even you know, 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:50.439 there was this whole like the day that we were 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:53.000 tied to the pole, like we slept that whole night 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:54.360 on the pole, you know, and. 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:56.840 Where there was like all these like hilarious stuff. 0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:59.520 I guess it doesn't benefit the story, but you know, 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:01.800 the next day I lost at someone in the kitchen 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:03.680 and threw a pen and I was just angry and 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:05.400 sleep deprived that I had to go to that challenge 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:07.640 and I was wigging out and I fainted. Didn't say 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:09.360 any of that, like there was this whole kind of 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:11.400 thing that you just don't see in the end edit. 0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:14.120 Yeah, it's so, it's it is really strange that we 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:16.080 have missed out on some of that stuff because I 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:17.800 think a lot of that would have made you know, 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:21.480 really good TV. Yeah it is, I mean it is 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:24.480 what it is. Well, A good question for you, because 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:26.319 you very much are married and you had a child 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:27.880 on the way. Do you think the Big Brother is 0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:30.920 easier for single plans. I think having so much left 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:33.640 in the real world might have made things or might 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:36.040 make things a bit harder for people who, you know, 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:37.760 have a family on the outside. 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:41.640 It's a good question. I think it's who you are 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:42.360 as a person. 0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:45.280 For me, it drove me to go harder because I'm 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:47.680 doing it for my family, Like even the prize money, 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:50.360 imagine how much I can provide for my family. But 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:53.360 if I guess on the other side, like you could 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:55.240 be thinking about your family life and make you sad, 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:56.559 it can make you want to go back to that. 0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:58.600 I know we Trevor, like he was defeated in the 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:00.560 end and he just wanted to go and see his kids. 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:02.839 So I think it depending on who you are, can 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:06.160 really help, will really hinder your role as a player 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:06.640 in the house. 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:09.240 And now after meeting some of the victive players, or 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:11.560 maybe not even meeting them, now seeing them, you know, 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:14.400 on the TV and seeing which players were evicted, who 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:16.840 do you feel sad that you missed out on spending 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:17.720 time with him the house? 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:20.800 I wish I spent more time with Trevor. I was 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:22.640 only with him for literally two nights, and. 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.520 We had some awesome conversations about family and values and 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:28.560 stuff just laying on the lounge together. And he's just 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:30.440 got a massive heart, as you know, Like he's an 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:32.439 awesome dude, and I wish I've got to spend more 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:33.000 time with him. 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:35.040 You did cross over with him, though, so was there 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:37.320 anyone that you never lived with that. You were like, Oh, 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:39.320 I wonder if that had been a better you know, 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:41.680 I wonder if I had had a good relationship with them. 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:44.600 Yeah, I really wish I was there When Josh was there, 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:48.000 the first house mate, he just looked like I would 0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:49.920 have had a lot of fun with him, causing a 0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:52.440 lot of ruckus, just throwing him in the firing line 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:53.800 and using him as a bit of a gun and 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:55.760 a shield at the same time, like he was ready, 0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:58.280 he was ready to do some damage that one. 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:00.760 Well, there's been a fair bit of drama with him. 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:02.360 There's been a fair bit of drama with a lot 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:04.960 of the housemates. After the show, What does your wife 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:07.880 think about it all? When you're telling her about what's 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:10.640 happening in behind the scenes with all this drama, does 0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:14.240 she just go, oh God, the show's more dramatic out 0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:15.640 of the show than it is in the show, Like, 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:17.520 what's the conversation like being at home? 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:20.520 Yeah, what I share with with Beth my wife at home, 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:22.560 some of the stuff that happens behind the scenes. 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:24.920 She's not going to let me ever go on the 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:25.640 show again. 0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:25.920 But. 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:31.600 She's just grateful that, you know, they don't show to 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:34.120 the extent what they show because there are there is 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:36.760 a lot of you know, it gets really full on 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:38.600 behind the scenes, and it is a family show at 0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:39.640 the end of the day, so a lot of the 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:40.920 stuff is hidden, which is good. 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:43.320 Yeah, that's not letting you out of the house ever again. 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:47.000 No, no, she's with me now I'm getting pulled by 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:48.440 this leash.
