1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda's.

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 2: Let's get on down to the Jonesy Demander Arts and

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 2: the part test this morning. Married at First Site last night,

4
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 2: I thought, being on holidays for two weeks.

5
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:12,120
Speaker 3: I wouldn't watch it. But it's the show that brings

6
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 3: our whole family together.

7
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 4: We've come a long way from the old days. We'd

8
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 4: stand around the pianola, roll.

9
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 3: Out the barge, pick a box. I married at First Sight,

10
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 3: but wrapped up last night. I wrapped up last night.

11
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 2: They had the reunion, So this is why they all

12
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 2: go back together, and then they have to watch what

13
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 2: they've said about each other in high definition television.

14
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 4: You know, Married at First Sights. Bryce and Melissa, we've

15
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 4: said we've worked here with Bryce.

16
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 5: He's the baddie of the season.

17
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 4: People like Melissa, but say why she giving herself over

18
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 4: to this toxic relationship. People have really been upset. I

19
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 4: saw that Georgia Love tweeted, I really feel for young

20
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 4: women watching maps this year.

21
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 5: Please no, it's not okay.

22
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 4: You don't need to stand by a man who only

23
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 4: makes you be behind closed doors. You don't need to

24
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 4: stand by a man who embarrasses, upsets and abandons you.

25
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 4: Ever not even once, and people here are saying it's unsettling,

26
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 4: it's triggering, it's watching red flag after red flag of

27
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 4: an abusive relationship. The toxicity is off the charts, et cetera,

28
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 4: et cetera, asking you for Channel nine to have a

29
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 4: duty of care with what we're seeing. When they came

30
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 4: in here to talk to us, they said, no, we're happy,

31
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 4: we're in love, we're separate.

32
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 5: To all this toxic talk. But from as a viewer,

33
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 5: it looks toxic.

34
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 3: Of course it does a TV show. If it didn't

35
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 3: look toxic, you wouldn't be watching it. But it's all nice.

36
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 2: When we're married at first sight, first started, and they're

37
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 2: all very nice to each other, it didn't really rate that.

38
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 5: Well, well, that's true.

39
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 4: People are enjoying the drama, but there's a difference between

40
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 4: drama and what people are seeing as an abusive relationship.

41
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 3: Well, it's a fine, psychologically abusive.

42
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 2: If this was a TV show, say like Home and

43
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 2: Away or Neighbors or something like that, you would be

44
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 2: watching it.

45
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 3: But you know that it's not reality. This is reality,

46
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 3: but it's really reality. It's not real.

47
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 2: Life, but it's their lives and I've and you're being manipulate.

48
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 2: You're being manipulated by as they are being manipulated because

49
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: all they want is fame.

50
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 3: And Bryce is treating it as a game show.

51
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 5: Like a competition and is twin.

52
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 2: He treats it as a Survivor. He even said, and

53
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: we said that to him. He even said, I wasn't

54
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 2: I didn't come here to win.

55
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 3: Friends. That's what they say on Survivor. And they're going

56
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 3: to go and stand on a coca nut for an hour.

57
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 4: Yeah. But in the meantime, there's Melissa and people are

58
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 4: women are seeing this relationship and I know a lot

59
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 4: of it. I haven't watched it. I'm hearing this from

60
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 4: you and what I read on social media. Some women

61
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 4: are saying this is very uncomfortable to watch. How many

62
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 4: times does she let him embarrass her, mock her, not

63
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 4: support her, make comments about her appearance, and she still says,

64
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 4: I'm hurt, but that's okay.

65
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 3: Some of his greatest hits were.

66
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 6: Probably completely honest, not my type, but she's not ugly.

67
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 2: There was also the time that he kissed Rebecca. Rebecca's

68
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 2: the one that was with Jake. She hasn't had any

69
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 2: relationship with Jake whatsoever.

70
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 3: Throughout the whole show.

71
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 2: But then Bryce took it upon himself to deem her

72
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 2: queen of the experience.

73
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 5: And he kissed her quite aggressively on the cheek.

74
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: Do you hey, Oh, you're the king of the experiment. King,

75
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: Why you're the king of the experiment and you are

76
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: the queen? You know what, you're the queen? Disgusting?

77
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 3: How do you do that?

78
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: Mate?

79
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 3: To my wife that doesn't like me.

80
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: I wanted to give her a kiss to say sorry.

81
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 5: Apparently they shut down production after that.

82
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 4: There was such an uproar on the set at that moment,

83
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 4: so Bryce's upset everybody.

84
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 3: Well, it was extraordinary. Last night.

85
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 2: They ended up playing a piece of Bryce's mates saying that.

86
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 3: He indeed brought a gift for his secret girlfriend on

87
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 3: the outside.

88
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 4: And Rebecca stills and Melissa still says, you know what,

89
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 4: that's okay?

90
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 6: Well, and then Bryce said, this last two months for

91
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 6: us has been unreal. I'm in love with Mussa and

92
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 6: honestly it's growing day by day like Lissa's nothing short

93
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 6: of perfect. We've moved in together, I've made the move

94
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 6: down to Melbourne for me obviously.

95
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: To move on from my job.

96
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 6: I thought, you know what, for once I'm going to

97
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 6: put someone else first in my life.

98
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 5: It doesn't looked like that in the show.

99
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 3: Of course, it doesn't look like that in the show.

100
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 2: But having been on a few reality shows myself, I

101
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 2: know how they edit these.

102
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 5: But all we can do is judge what we see.

103
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,799
Speaker 3: Well, what do you think? Do you think? Bryce and Melissa?

104
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 3: Do they pass the pub test?

105
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 5: What do you reckon?

106
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 3: Are we going to see love and marriage and baby carriage?

107
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 5: Well? Maybe, how do you see this going?

108
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 3: Marritive?

109
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 2: First sight? Bryce and Melissa? Do they pass the pub test?

110
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 4: Yes, there's been a lot of controversy with this couple.

111
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 4: I saw that Georgia Love tweeted I truly feel fear

112
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 4: for young women watching maps this year. Please know this

113
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 4: is not okay. You don't need to stand by a

114
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 4: man who only makes you happy.

115
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 5: Behind closed doors. You don't need to stand by a

116
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 5: man who embarrasses, upsets and abandons you.

117
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 3: Ever.

118
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 4: Lots of people saying that he's gaslighting her, that it's

119
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 4: been very unsettling.

120
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 5: Red flag after red flag.

121
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 4: That should have worried Melissa, but she still decided to

122
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 4: stay by his side, saying that this is the toxicity

123
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 4: of this is off the charts.

124
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 2: But it is reality TV and the narrative is changed

125
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 2: by the people that do the editing. And if you're

126
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 2: in a classic case an example, have a look at

127
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 2: Harry met Sally the horror movie trailer version on YouTube.

128
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 3: You are Harry met Sally. You wouldn't think that in

129
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 3: any way is a menacing, violent movie, would you.

130
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 2: But the way they do it, the editing and the

131
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 2: music in this particular one on YouTube, it's extraordinary.

132
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 4: But whether or not this is real or whether it

133
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 4: has been populated real, yes, but this is what we're seeing.

134
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 4: This is a relationship we are seeing on nightly television

135
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 4: as reality, and a lot of people are seeing it

136
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 4: as reality, So that's what you judge it on.

137
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 2: So so when people are buying into exactly what the

138
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 2: people that make merit at first sight want.

139
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 3: You to buy into, in the fact that you care

140
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 3: and watch the show. Yeah, here's the show that our

141
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 3: whole family watches together. That's the point of it.

142
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 4: But as relationships go, this doesn't kick many goals.

143
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 5: So what do you think Bryce and Melissa? Do they

144
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 5: pass the pub test?

145
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 7: Yes, they knew past the pup test. I went down

146
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 7: to Melbourne to see South Sydney play the Melbourne Storm

147
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 7: and Bryce was actually standing behind me and I said,

148
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 7: they don't paint you very well, and he said, they're

149
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 7: very good at editing what they do and making words

150
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 7: in my mouth that aren't really there. He was actually

151
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 7: a really nice guy.

152
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 2: No, I feel sick watching it and they both need

153
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 2: psychological help.

154
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 7: Oh, look, I think they do. I sort of feel

155
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 7: a bit little bit sorry for Bryce. He's a bit

156
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 7: of a dope and he said some really stupid things.

157
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 7: But my biggest scripe is with the rest of them

158
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 7: that just wouldn't leave him alone. They definitely go past

159
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,360
