Speaker 1: It's in the news today, but it was actually on
Speaker 1: TV Reload the podcast past week that might welcome back
Speaker 1: guys to TV Reload. As you may know, my name
Speaker 1: is Benjamin Norris and this is your podcast to get
Speaker 1: all the inside goss on the popular TV shows that
Speaker 1: you may be watching from around the world. Undeniably, our
Speaker 1: TV sets are still a major part of our home entertainment,
Speaker 1: and yet very little is known about how some of
Speaker 1: our favorite shows get made. So each episode I've been
Speaker 1: finding guests they want to dive just that little bit
Speaker 1: deeper into the shows that they're currently making so that
Speaker 1: you can hear all their exclusive stories and gain access
Speaker 1: to some of the biggest names in Australian television. I
Speaker 1: want to thank you for downloading or subscribing to this
Speaker 1: podcast however you found me. I love hearing your feedback,
Speaker 1: so if you can, please leave a review or a
Speaker 1: comment on your chosen podcast platform. On today's podcast, I
Speaker 1: have the winners of Big Brother Australia twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1: This week we saw Tay and Ari take out the
Speaker 1: competition in a very well documented pre recorded finale that
Speaker 1: saw Australia vote in the sisters over loved competitors Louis
Speaker 1: and Manet. In a nail biden grand finale that had
Speaker 1: Australian viewers the most uncertain of their winner in the
Speaker 1: show's twenty two year history. We saw siblings win for
Speaker 1: the second time, not seen since the Logan Twins in
Speaker 1: two thousand and five. Even I had no bloody clue
Speaker 1: and thought that Louis would probably win, so shows you
Speaker 1: what I know. Both girls proved to be quite popular
Speaker 1: and powerful inside the house. They fell in love and
Speaker 1: made friendships, proving the strongest connections was the ticket to
Speaker 1: the finale. Big Brother Australia focused in on love this season,
Speaker 1: and while that did polarize its audience, the experiment was
Speaker 1: still fascinating to see how a houseful of potential singles
Speaker 1: would use their relationships to get them to the end.
Speaker 1: I will ask the girls about their relationship with TJ
Speaker 1: and Josh and find out where they stand with the boys.
Speaker 1: Now the show is over, we will unpack the pre
Speaker 1: recorded finale and add further speculation to my theory that
Speaker 1: the first filmed winner when pre recording multiple endings is
Speaker 1: in fact always is the actual winner. The girls will
Speaker 1: reveal of being TikTok famous help them win the show
Speaker 1: and if Australian reality TV is still appealing to the
Speaker 1: content creators who can find broader audiences on larger and
Speaker 1: more lucrative social media platforms. Plus, we will get plenty
Speaker 1: of exclusives from behind the scenes of that Big Brother finale,
Speaker 1: which you can now catch up on on seven Plus,
Speaker 1: also the exclusive home of Big Brother and Kat, which
Speaker 1: was a welcome return to the series. Let's bring Tay
Speaker 1: and Ari into the podcast and guys, I think today's
Speaker 1: chat is actually the most compelling and informative chat that
Speaker 1: I've recorded for Big Brother this season. So buckle up
Speaker 1: as we celebrate this year's winner's time in the house.
Speaker 2: Hi, Hi, sorry, just connected for us.
Speaker 3: Then it's muted. We can't hear.
Speaker 1: I coup believe how beautiful the two of you look
Speaker 1: this morning. I thought you'd be hungover, you'd be out celebrating,
Speaker 1: and you look like supermodels.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Last night we had excited. Couple of wives were like,
Speaker 2: you got to keep it together for today.
Speaker 1: Did mum and dad and say, guys go to bed.
Speaker 2: You know, I think we went a better round. I'd say, too,
Speaker 2: wish Yeah.
Speaker 1: And you look back and we got up.
Speaker 3: I know, we're depically rushing, quickly, rushing, ready to say,
Speaker 3: oh I loved it, and I was so tired and
Speaker 3: I was going to smash the interviews out.
Speaker 2: I don't. I think we couldn't sleep. We're too excited.
Speaker 2: We literally the adrenaline was just running out. It was
Speaker 2: so hard to get to sleep last night.
Speaker 1: Did you guys this seems like a really strange question
Speaker 1: to ask, who was it in your mind that was
Speaker 1: going to win when that finale was recorded?
Speaker 3: Do you know what?
Speaker 2: When we did it, obviously we had no idea or
Speaker 2: who was going to win. We just knew who was
Speaker 2: in the top three. But seeing the show, I think
Speaker 2: it made it so hard to know who was actually
Speaker 2: going to win. So I feel like we were quite
Speaker 2: played evenly, if that makes sense. I feel like, you know,
Speaker 2: there wasn't really stand up out of us three compared
Speaker 2: to each other. So and then you know, we were
Speaker 2: like stalking the comments, you know, the last day, we're
Speaker 2: like we're voting, like you know, where's it going? And
Speaker 2: it was so like Maney Louis sisters are so even
Speaker 2: So at the time.
Speaker 3: When we were standing there, we obnestly had no idea.
Speaker 3: We'd all been through a bit of controversy and like
Speaker 3: all thinking to each other, we don't know who's going
Speaker 3: to win. Yeah, yeah, it was, it was.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 3: It was really our situation where it was so good.
Speaker 3: I'm so glad we came around the win.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm so happy for the two of you. I mean,
Speaker 1: it was so exciting for you guys to get the win.
Speaker 1: There was a lot of talk last night on all
Speaker 1: the social media forums about the fact that the show
Speaker 1: was pre recorded, which everyone knew that that's why they
Speaker 1: that's how they make reality shows these days. I mean,
Speaker 1: marka been doing that for fifteen seasons. However, what was
Speaker 1: the order that they filmed it in? And I have
Speaker 1: a I'm trying to put together a dorser on this
Speaker 1: because everyone I speak to on pre recorded finales, the
Speaker 1: people that record their's first always end up being the winner.
Speaker 1: Were you the first to record your finale ending?
Speaker 2: I think about that. Yeah we did, Yeah, we did
Speaker 2: go first. But I think on the show last night
Speaker 2: they asked us last, I think, but we actually recorded
Speaker 2: it first.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think the order was last last night.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you think. Having a fairly substantial following on social media,
Speaker 1: like being TikTok famous, you know that kind of thing.
Speaker 1: Does that help with the voting? Were you able to
Speaker 1: campaign by using that sort of following to get you
Speaker 1: to the win last night?
Speaker 2: Yeah? So it's actually crazy for us because with our
Speaker 2: TikTok tiktoks, that was our biggest platform. But our TikTok
Speaker 2: follow is not Australian, so we actually in that when
Speaker 2: it came to that, it didn't help us at all
Speaker 2: because I don't.
Speaker 3: Really post anything on our TikTok. I think we may
Speaker 3: have posted one one or two video and like they
Speaker 3: honestly had no traction at all. We haven't been posting
Speaker 3: on our TikTok, so we honestly had none of our
Speaker 3: TikTok following on board.
Speaker 2: Because obviously, like we have a massive like UK and
Speaker 2: the big US following, so obviously that doesn't help when
Speaker 2: it comes to Australian voting. So we really just had
Speaker 2: like family friends. So yeah, it was really word of mouth.
Speaker 2: Like all of our friends, like close friends, they would
Speaker 2: posted all of their stories. Our brother is rugby club
Speaker 2: that watched them every Saturday.
Speaker 1: It's all it takes. When your sisters look like this
Speaker 1: the rugby club. They goin to vote and you're going
Speaker 1: to one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: Honestly, really awesome to see who literally would like put
Speaker 3: us on their Facebook pages on honestly everything. Our little
Speaker 3: cousins from Byron Bay. They were asking their ballet schools
Speaker 3: and everything, and I was like, it's the cutest thing ever.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think word of mouth.
Speaker 1: Biggest thing I heard that you guys live. Do you
Speaker 1: live in Kumera in Queensland? Is that where you guys
Speaker 1: are from? That was the original home of Big Brother.
Speaker 1: I actually coincidentally was in Kumra last week and I
Speaker 1: didn't I'm not famous at all from my Big Brother
Speaker 1: time ten eleven years ago. But I was in Kumra
Speaker 1: and I walked through that westfield and I was like
Speaker 1: mobbed by people, and so I was wondering whether or
Speaker 1: not is Big Brother in Kumra's DNA like, because that's
Speaker 1: where it used to be the home of it.
Speaker 2: Might be you never know.
Speaker 3: Well, we actually went to was field the other day
Speaker 3: and everyone was like coming up to us and I
Speaker 3: was said, oh my god, I didn't be anyone.
Speaker 2: Who would ever noticed us. Yeah, so maybe maybe it's
Speaker 2: just that Westfield really big Brother fans.
Speaker 1: They were quite warped though with some of the questions
Speaker 1: they were asking me, Like they were like, what was
Speaker 1: it like to live with Chrissy Swan? And I was like,
Speaker 1: you know, she was fourteen years before me, she wasn't
Speaker 1: in my series, and they're like, yeah, but what was
Speaker 1: she like? And I'm like, sure, she's lovely. I loved
Speaker 1: that funny that they feel like they have that kind
Speaker 1: of ownership over it. But I was wanting to ask
Speaker 1: about young people these days, and I sound like a
Speaker 1: boomer saying it like this, but is there an attraction
Speaker 1: when you've already got so much attention and following from
Speaker 1: being on TikTok and having all of this to be
Speaker 1: on reality television? I mean, do young people still watch
Speaker 1: reality television and want to go on shows like this
Speaker 1: when they already have such a substantial following.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like it's probably different for every single person.
Speaker 2: I think definitely for us, it was just a very
Speaker 2: spontaneous you know what, we got asked, so we may
Speaker 2: as well doing if we've got asked to be your
Speaker 2: sisters as well, so we're like, obviously, let's do it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Actually, reality is such a hit and missing these things
Speaker 2: because a lot of people don't actually watch it. I
Speaker 2: don't think the younger crowd doesn't really watch it as
Speaker 2: much unless you're like, you know, for example, on a
Speaker 2: Netflix show or you know that type of thing. So
Speaker 2: I think for us, for example, you know, coming off
Speaker 2: the show, we didn't gain massive followings, we didn't anything
Speaker 2: like that. Does that make sense? I feel like back
Speaker 2: in the day, I feel like you definitely TV was
Speaker 2: a massive thing where now it's not.
Speaker 3: Back in the day it was a big thing, but
Speaker 3: I think now it's not as much of a big thing.
Speaker 3: And yeah, I'm not too sure.
Speaker 1: I just think people will be like, why would I
Speaker 1: go on a reality show off, I'm not going to
Speaker 1: get any followers, you know that, it's not going to
Speaker 1: lead to becoming additionally Insta famous or whatever. It's not
Speaker 1: going to add to it. So I can't see that
Speaker 1: the because back in the day there was no Instagram,
Speaker 1: there was no social media. So people go on shows
Speaker 1: like this and they would be really successful, really famous.
Speaker 1: And these days you can go on a reality show
Speaker 1: at it can finish and the next day you can
Speaker 1: walk down the street and people be like, I don't
Speaker 1: know how that is. So I just wonder whether young
Speaker 1: people would want to go on reality TV anymore.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I feel like maybe something that
Speaker 2: will fizzle out down the track. I don't know, but
Speaker 2: you know, it's still going good now, which is good,
Speaker 2: and we've got on while we.
Speaker 1: Could and it pays well, right, Yes, okay, definitely. You know,
Speaker 1: do you think it was interesting that a couple or
Speaker 1: should I say a romance didn't come out on top?
Speaker 1: You know, considering this series was House of Love. We
Speaker 1: did see a couple that was still together in that finale,
Speaker 1: however they didn't win.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I definitely think being the House of Love, he
Speaker 3: thought there might have been some kind of twist where
Speaker 3: it was like a couple can win or do you know,
Speaker 3: but I mean young, it's very strange the couple didn't
Speaker 3: come out on top. I guess it was just it
Speaker 3: really was like the old Big Brother. It was just
Speaker 3: picking people off.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really quite interesting. You guys were pretty ruthless
Speaker 1: with your decision making, one thing being TJ being put
Speaker 1: up for eviction, and even your decision to have an
Speaker 1: all girl finale that had Josh not really included in
Speaker 1: your final plan. Do you think that you were as
Speaker 1: ruthless as Money and as Louis.
Speaker 2: I think if you're watching from a TV because spective
Speaker 2: from what they've shown, it looks like we were very ruthless,
Speaker 2: But I don't think we definitely. Oh, it's kind of
Speaker 2: hard because with us, we always voted on our own accord.
Speaker 2: Sometimes I would match up with everyone else's votes, but
Speaker 2: at the same time, we would always have our own.
Speaker 2: We were just voting we wanted to vote. So I
Speaker 2: feel like we obviously were friends with me with Monae
Speaker 2: and Lawie in the house, very close to them as well.
Speaker 2: So I feel like, you know, I voted sometimes match up,
Speaker 2: but I don't think we were as ruthless, if that
Speaker 2: makes sense, Like.
Speaker 3: We were, but people could think we were ruthless. I
Speaker 3: think with Manet, they kind of just had a plan
Speaker 3: of getting themselves always to the top three already them too,
Speaker 3: And I think with me and Tay, we were just
Speaker 3: kind of riding the way, like we knew where the
Speaker 3: votes were going, Oh, we knew, Like, how do I
Speaker 3: explain it?
Speaker 2: Like we I think you're trying to say, like, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's kind of hard. Because TV is very different to
Speaker 2: how it actually was, so totally we did vote people
Speaker 2: out in there. I think I think our tent behind
Speaker 2: the voting was a lot more genuine than what this show.
Speaker 2: I think they were a bit more resident that way.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, because I mean they did seem to play
Speaker 1: very hard, and you know, they kind of manipulated their
Speaker 1: way to the end. Is it worth playing that hard
Speaker 1: when you'll put up for the public vote, because the
Speaker 1: public doesn't seem to vote for strategy like they would
Speaker 1: in a jury council on Survivor, do you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Like in a jury council, if all of
Speaker 1: you as housemates, if Big Brother were to vote for
Speaker 1: a winner, they would normally vote for who had the
Speaker 1: best strategic game, the best manipulation. However, with this show,
Speaker 1: it is like Survivor. But then at the end the
Speaker 1: public votes, and I feel like the public still vote
Speaker 1: the way that they did back in two thousand and one.
Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean? They just picked the
Speaker 1: nicest person, the person they love the most. So I
Speaker 1: was curious to know about whether you think it's worth
Speaker 1: manipulating everyone to get to a finale if the public
Speaker 1: aren't going to vote for you, you know.
Speaker 2: What it's I don't think it's yeah. I think it's
Speaker 2: very hard because I think if you know, say, for example,
Speaker 2: that Gracey May was a big player this year, so
Speaker 2: us putting up in that chair, we've got a lot
Speaker 2: of backlash for that. So I feel like, you know,
Speaker 2: you do have to be careful. Like I guess, like
Speaker 2: when you're in the house, you don't know who's going
Speaker 2: to be a fan favorite, so you're just voting with
Speaker 2: how you think. But then when you watch it back,
Speaker 2: it's like you do kind of have to be careful
Speaker 2: with how you vote because I one wrong move that
Speaker 2: one hundred thousand dollars could not be yours at all.
Speaker 1: Well, when doing these elimination chats, I have been able
Speaker 1: to talk to the housemates, and the housemates did say,
Speaker 1: you know, the sisters really went hard to get Gracie
Speaker 1: May out of the show, like they they hung on
Speaker 1: to that point, and clearly that's what you did. But
Speaker 1: if you look at the way this show unfolded, do
Speaker 1: you think if Gracie May had been in that finale
Speaker 1: with you girls, we would have had the same result,
Speaker 1: or do you think that Gracie May might have won.
Speaker 3: Oh, I think definitely. I think she would have definitely
Speaker 3: been a favorite. And I think she was such She's
Speaker 3: such a big Big Brother fan, Like, she knew exactly
Speaker 3: what she was doing. She knew how to play the game,
Speaker 3: she knew how to play with the cameras with Big Brother.
Speaker 3: She was really good at it. And you know, kudos
Speaker 3: to her. She did an amazing job at you know,
Speaker 3: making good television. But I think even with the voting,
Speaker 3: a lot of people wanted her out of the house.
Speaker 3: At this point. It wasn't even just me and Tate.
Speaker 3: There was a lot of other people and Tay and
Speaker 3: I sometimes would just sway with the house would be like, okay,
Speaker 3: if everyone wants her gone, then we'll vote as well.
Speaker 3: So never was just me and Tay that wanted her
Speaker 3: so badly gone as people have same.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it just worked because we prep in
Speaker 2: the chair, but then you know, they came out, the
Speaker 2: whole house had to vote.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So what I think is, you know, yes, we
Speaker 3: put her up, but the whole house voted her out.
Speaker 3: We didn't get the vote. I always think that, But yeah, no,
Speaker 3: she she had amazing on the show, and I think
Speaker 3: she was a great.
Speaker 1: Girl and she made she's so good. But you girls
Speaker 1: are fun. Like, it's so great meeting all of everyone
Speaker 1: from the house. Like you'll have an impression of people
Speaker 1: watching the show because it's stylized and edited and you're
Speaker 1: kind of are made to have polarizing opinions of people.
Speaker 1: But every housemate that's come out, I thoroughly enjoyed meeting
Speaker 1: because everyone's so lovely and I can understand why watching
Speaker 1: the show now and reading between the lines, that there
Speaker 1: really was a lot of love in that house and it.
Speaker 3: Was I think that's the reason why it was so
Speaker 3: hard to vote people and putting people up. People got
Speaker 3: really offended because we all really loved each other, Like
Speaker 3: it was so hard to be like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: who are we going to put up next?
Speaker 2: Or are you going to be next?
Speaker 3: And I think people took it really personal as well,
Speaker 3: because we all had so much love.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it was actually scared to see how
Speaker 2: close we actually all were, and I don't think they
Speaker 2: ever showed that on TV.
Speaker 3: I think that was the biggest surprise for me, as
Speaker 3: well as how much we all got along really well,
Speaker 3: Like they did show the drama, but behind all the drama.
Speaker 3: There was a lot of love and you know, connections,
Speaker 3: so it was really good.
Speaker 1: So we need to really talk about the boyfriends, because
Speaker 1: you both had boyfriends in the show, Like you got
Speaker 1: your found fellas, good looking fellas, well done. But what
Speaker 1: I found interesting was that you know, you guys did
Speaker 1: sort of have something to do with both of those
Speaker 1: boys leaving the show. Did that affect the way in
Speaker 1: which you tried to have a relationship with those boys
Speaker 1: once the show finished, because I could imagine if you'd
Speaker 1: booted me off Big Brother, I'd imagine if my partner
Speaker 1: booted me off Big Brother. I don't know if I'm
Speaker 1: making breakfast in bed. You know, it's a hard one.
Speaker 2: And I think when it got to that stage, I
Speaker 2: think that they all knew that it was coming down
Speaker 2: to very gameplay, if that makes sense, So like, yeah, obviously,
Speaker 2: I think when I watched it back, I'm like, you
Speaker 2: know what, that shouldn't have happened. I think we got
Speaker 2: so caught up in the gameplay towards the end of it.
Speaker 2: You know, you're starting to think with their heads more
Speaker 2: than we're thinking with their hearts, and like they were
Speaker 2: all very chill, so for like you know, we were like, oh,
Speaker 2: they won't take it to heart. Yeah, But if it
Speaker 2: was the other way around, I feel like I'd be like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm not seeing you on the outside round you were done?
Speaker 1: Is there a deleted scene though? On your rational with TJ?
Speaker 1: The TJ one really got me. I was like, I'm
Speaker 1: in love. I've just been seeing kissing this one and
Speaker 1: I'm having such a good time. And next minute, you
Speaker 1: guys get to choose who is being eliminated, and you're like,
Speaker 1: I know who we should pick. We should pick my boyfriend.
Speaker 1: And it's like, why would you do that? There were
Speaker 1: so many other housemates that you could have chosen. What
Speaker 1: was going through your minds?
Speaker 3: Yes, so obviously the house nums, you know, everyone picked
Speaker 3: two people to put up for nomination, and at the time,
Speaker 3: I personally was wanting to put up a few of
Speaker 3: the bigger names in the house, say Louis Lewis.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think our vote was going on Louie Lewis.
Speaker 2: And we took it to the diary room. Obviously, we
Speaker 2: took it tend. We knew that a lot of the
Speaker 2: house wanted TJ gone, So when we went in there,
Speaker 2: we actually spoke to big brother and Big Brother. I
Speaker 2: think Big Brother was like, don't waste a vote on
Speaker 2: someone that's massive that could affect you guys in the game.
Speaker 3: Because he pretty much saying don't yeah.
Speaker 2: Because obviously like that's not going to get t J.
Speaker 2: We're not sending TJ home, We're just adding that's already gone.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So I think the chat in the house at
Speaker 3: that time was TJ and Dion were the main people
Speaker 3: that everyone had that and we.
Speaker 2: Were like, well, Diane, we were never ever going to
Speaker 2: one person.
Speaker 3: We were never going to vote was on and that
Speaker 3: that was it. I would we were never putting him up.
Speaker 3: So yeah, we chose TJ for the fact that we
Speaker 3: knew everyone in the house was voting for him, but
Speaker 3: we were never going to put the final you know.
Speaker 2: We never voted him while he was in the eviction.
Speaker 1: In the eviction, we've never you wouldn't. But at the
Speaker 1: same time it was the reason why I left. It's
Speaker 1: starting to sound like Big brothers that reasonable friend. You
Speaker 1: know when you're at the club and you're like, I've
Speaker 1: just met this guy, what do you think And your
Speaker 1: friend's like, nah, girl, I think you could do better.
Speaker 1: Like I feel like he's whispringing your eg telling you
Speaker 1: to do things. But you know that friend that does that.
Speaker 1: When you're like, you know, what.
Speaker 3: Do you think about it, I'm like that's so bad.
Speaker 3: Like watching it back, I'm like, yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, what they didn't show as well is that we
Speaker 2: actually went straight to t Jane told him because we
Speaker 2: were like. One thing with us is that we were
Speaker 2: very genuine, very honest. So say for time with Jake,
Speaker 2: when we when we were going to vote someone and
Speaker 2: they did ask us, we were dead sit honest, We're
Speaker 2: not going to be like no, like you're safe, We
Speaker 2: don't want you to go to that thing. We were
Speaker 2: dead tied to be like you know what, baby, you
Speaker 2: know what we did. So we did put you up.
Speaker 2: But sometimes when we put someone up, we actually didn't
Speaker 2: want that person to go. We just need that they'd
Speaker 2: be able to take that being nominated compared to someone else.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because people took things very personally.
Speaker 2: Some people like so example, Jake, Jake is a very
Speaker 2: sensitive boy, so you know, we didn't realize that. So
Speaker 2: when we put him up, we were like, holy shit,
Speaker 2: he didn't take that very well.
Speaker 3: I genuinely thought me explaining to him being like you
Speaker 3: know everyone wants, but gone, You're you're not going to
Speaker 3: be You know, we're putting you up, but you're not
Speaker 3: going to go. He was a bit of a floater
Speaker 3: in the house. He didn't have very strong connections with
Speaker 3: many people, so we're like, he'll be fine. And then
Speaker 3: when I told him, he was so upset. And I
Speaker 3: do get why he's upset, but I think we knew
Speaker 3: he wasn't going to go home.
Speaker 1: I can imagine. There was a deleted scene of him
Speaker 1: in the dial room crying for a good few hours,
Speaker 1: like he looked pretty salty.
Speaker 2: Oh, I actually felt really bad.
Speaker 1: I felt bad for him. I felt bad for you too. Actually,
Speaker 1: I didn't feel bad for you. I thought that you
Speaker 1: guys were the devil at that point. These relationships, we
Speaker 1: know that they haven't worked out. People have been saying that,
Speaker 1: you know, you both left the show, and you know,
Speaker 1: you were still with josh was still with TJ, and
Speaker 1: they were very supportive in that finale. Whose relationship lasted
Speaker 1: longer outside of the house definitely Man and Joshua Okay.
Speaker 2: Going strong for a bit after the show. I think
Speaker 2: maybe like three or four months. We gave it a
Speaker 2: good crack, like I'd gone visit him in Sydney, he
Speaker 2: would come here. But for Josh, I think he just
Speaker 2: honestly had a lot he's played at the time. I
Speaker 2: think it just was really wrong timing. Like obviously, when
Speaker 2: we're in the house, there's nothing on the outside world
Speaker 2: going on for us, so like, you know, we can
Speaker 2: meet together and there's no problems. It's fine. But obviously
Speaker 2: like coming back out with his work and stuff like that,
Speaker 2: it just didn't work. But to this's day, it was
Speaker 2: still super great friends and I'm seeing him this weekend,
Speaker 2: which is really cool.
Speaker 1: If we can just shorten it into an answer, both
Speaker 1: of you can give me the rationale as to why
Speaker 1: the relationship ended, Like can you give me just like
Speaker 1: a quick rationale, Yeah.
Speaker 3: I'll get th TJ and I had a bit of
Speaker 3: a split, yeah, towards the end of the show, but yeah,
Speaker 3: we got We tried to make a work spend news together.
Speaker 3: But yeah, the reason it ended was because I don't
Speaker 3: think TJ was ready for commitment and he wasn't giving
Speaker 3: me one hundred percent. So yeah, we're still really good friends,
Speaker 3: but it was just the commitment. I don't think he
Speaker 3: was ready and.
Speaker 1: I don't think I was ready, Yeah, girl buy next.
Speaker 2: And then with myself and Josh, we gave it a
Speaker 2: really good crack after the show about three or four
Speaker 2: months and then yeah, just due to the long distance
Speaker 2: in his work, it just didn't really work out for
Speaker 2: us in that way. But like I said, really good friends.
Speaker 1: Everyone was also celebrating this finale in different places last night,
Speaker 1: so money would have been somewhere different or I don't
Speaker 1: know if man to be with Louis. But once you won,
Speaker 1: did you guys send an awkward text message to say,
Speaker 1: hope you guys are okay? Did you call them? Have
Speaker 1: you been in contact with those guys? Are they all right?
Speaker 2: So last night we all made a pat on like
Speaker 2: a little group chains that that we wouldn't no one
Speaker 2: would spoil it because obviously Louise and Melbourne, so he
Speaker 2: found out for fed at first. We're in Queensland and
Speaker 2: the Manne's and Perth, so we're all separate, so we
Speaker 2: were like, we all turned our phones or so we
Speaker 2: had our phones off so we didn't see anything.
Speaker 3: So we found out honestly when we watched on the telly.
Speaker 3: We turned off all of our phones and we were like,
Speaker 3: and I think many did the same thing too, So yeah,
Speaker 3: we were kind of just waiting for Maney to find out.
Speaker 3: But then by that time we had a few drinks
Speaker 3: and we were like, we'll message everyone in the morning,
Speaker 3: but we've had the most amazing messages from every housemate
Speaker 3: and that they've been so supportive.
Speaker 1: So what, look, can you read me the text messages?
Speaker 1: This is really invasive, but like, just what did they say? Like,
Speaker 1: if you got your phones there, I want to know
Speaker 1: what Louis wrote back to you. I want to know
Speaker 1: what Mone wrote back to you. And feel free to
Speaker 1: not do this, but I feel like everyone listening to
Speaker 1: this podcast is going to ask He's going to want
Speaker 1: to know the same answer.
Speaker 2: Yes. So I think we just sent a message saying like,
Speaker 2: thank you guys so much for having us like next
Speaker 2: to you and the sees. I couldn't ask a better
Speaker 2: top three and we're just so grateful for obviously the
Speaker 2: whole experience. And then I think nay, also, she just
Speaker 2: says she said them on the lines of life.
Speaker 3: Don't think you're saying about what No, no, she said
Speaker 3: they sent us up when we want Yeah, I think, sorry, Sassy, I.
Speaker 1: Couldn't hear what you said, it's like the two of
Speaker 1: you talk like like I noticed that on the show.
Speaker 1: You guys are like a secret language. Sometimes you guys
Speaker 1: talk in shorthand.
Speaker 2: I know, even Big Brother when we we've done the
Speaker 2: dims and we're talking about it, he's like, you guys
Speaker 2: can speak up, and I'm like, we're talking. He's like,
Speaker 2: we can't hear anything you guys are saying at all.
Speaker 1: So we got nothing juicy out of those text messages
Speaker 1: that I feel. What did Louis say?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like something Louis said, great work, everyone one
Speaker 3: an experience. Congratulations, sister so observed, so very sure. Yeah
Speaker 3: there was maybe something beautiful Taylor Rick goh sisters. Everyone
Speaker 3: kind of said congratulations. Deon sent us a reaction video
Speaker 3: of him reacting to it. It was hilarious, honestly, such
Speaker 3: a good video.
Speaker 1: Of course he did. She was so funny about Dan.
Speaker 1: Was he got a really dramatic storyline in the finale
Speaker 1: with Josh storming out? Was it as dramatic as it
Speaker 1: looked on television? And was a kind of stage that
Speaker 1: Josh stormed out, Like, I mean, it kind of seems
Speaker 1: like it's out of the cannon for Josh to storm
Speaker 1: off like you would on The Real Housewives? Can you
Speaker 1: tell me some? Can you tell me some? Like it
Speaker 1: sounds like something Petty Flow would do or Gamble would.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. It actually was quite intense. Yeah, it
Speaker 2: was very intense. And then how would you explain it?
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, no, so pretty I just kind of know
Speaker 3: it was not stage like Dion really he knew what
Speaker 3: he was doing. He wanted to show. He's literally a showman,
Speaker 3: like he makes television so much fun, So he knew
Speaker 3: what he was doing and he knew it would stare
Speaker 3: a bit of a reaction with the boys, and yeah,
Speaker 3: it was those dramatic he did walk off.
Speaker 2: It was, Yeah, I think someone's very emotional, so I
Speaker 2: think at that stage, you know, he believes the whole thing.
Speaker 2: Even I was saying, you know, like Dione wouldn't do that.
Speaker 2: And then I think when it came out, he was
Speaker 2: kind of like your dog boys, just Josh is the
Speaker 2: guy that's true to his word, And yeah, I think
Speaker 2: he just took it a bit to heart.
Speaker 3: I think they're all good now, there's no bad blood.
Speaker 3: But it definitely was those dramatic as you've seen.
Speaker 2: It was worse.
Speaker 1: Okay, I've spoken to both of them and they said,
Speaker 1: it's fine. Girls, I literally talk to you forever because
Speaker 1: there's so much I actually said. Originally, I was like,
Speaker 1: a twenty minute chat, that'll be fine, you know, because
Speaker 1: it's a winner's chat, you can make it quite tight.
Speaker 1: But then by the time I watched the finale and
Speaker 1: you'd won and I started writing these questions, I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, the sisters have there's so much to
Speaker 1: one pack with your story, and I can't wait to
Speaker 1: see what you girls do next with your journey after this.
Speaker 1: One hundred thousand dollars doesn't go very fast. So I
Speaker 1: heard you guys saying we're going to help everyone in
Speaker 1: the world basically with the money. I think split the
Speaker 1: fifty thousand and put it on a de positive a home.
Speaker 2: You know, such a smart idea, but thank you, really,
Speaker 2: it's fine.
Speaker 1: Before we go, though, everyone who joins the podcast gets
Speaker 1: asked this question, what is something from behind the scenes,
Speaker 1: Maybe something from behind the scenes the finale, something that
Speaker 1: we didn't see that people might enjoy as a bit
Speaker 1: of a behind the scenes secret of your time in
Speaker 1: that finale?
Speaker 2: Oh what could it be? Probably just how long we
Speaker 2: actually filmed that Grand finale for yeah, do the endings
Speaker 2: a couple of times, so like I was worried that
Speaker 2: it wasn't going to be as genuine because like obviously
Speaker 2: we had to say that we won three times, and
Speaker 2: we had to do three times a speech. So I
Speaker 2: think definitely, just like you know, pre recording that finale,
Speaker 2: when you see it's a lot different behind the scenes,
Speaker 2: it looks.
Speaker 1: From leaving the house though, in that final part of
Speaker 1: leaving the house, did the finale happen? Did you walk
Speaker 1: straight into that zone to film the finale? Was there
Speaker 1: a time period? Did everyone have to fly back from
Speaker 1: their different states to be there?
Speaker 3: Me and Tate, Manet and Louis we were still in
Speaker 3: the house and we had just finished during interviews. We
Speaker 3: didn't get didn't get to leave the house. We were
Speaker 3: stuck in the house. But everyone else got to fly
Speaker 3: back and all that, and they all caught up beforehand,
Speaker 3: so we were kind of like like in a weird
Speaker 3: zone where we were like, we haven't even been out
Speaker 3: into reality.
Speaker 2: Anyone find it.
Speaker 3: We're just like in the zone. So yeah, everyone else
Speaker 3: flew back in and we were stuck in the house.
Speaker 1: Still, Well, I just want to say thank you so
Speaker 1: much for being so generous and sharing your stories on
Speaker 1: the show. I can't wait to see what happens with
Speaker 1: the two of you next. I could only wish that
Speaker 1: all Big Brother winners could look as good as you.
Speaker 1: I think you might be the most attractive people to
Speaker 1: ever win the show. But yeah, all the very best,
Speaker 1: and yeah again, congratulations on the win. It's very exciting
Speaker 1: for the two of you.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, appreciate it.
Speaker 1: The winners club now, it was so funny. I was
Speaker 1: talking to I've spoken to a few winners this morning
Speaker 1: and they're all we're all texting, and it's so funny
Speaker 1: because you're bringing people into like a club. I'm sure
Speaker 1: all the winners will start to text you to be like,
Speaker 1: you know, welcome. It's like we're getting sisters, do you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. It's like we're getting new additions
Speaker 1: to our family. Anyway, lots of love to the two
Speaker 1: of you. Take care,
