WEBVTT - UNPACKED REALITY - MASTERCHEF AUSTRALIA - STEPH 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:01.760 It's in the news today, but it was actually on 0:00:01.800 --> 0:00:02.920 TV Reload. 0:00:02.600 --> 0:00:04.040 The podcast last week Their Life. 0:00:04.760 --> 0:00:07.200 Hey guys, welcome back to TV Reload. I want to 0:00:07.240 --> 0:00:09.840 thank you for clicking and downloading on today's episode with 0:00:09.880 --> 0:00:12.840 Steph the second elimin at a contestant from Master Chef 0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:16.000 Australia for twenty twenty four, which is on Network ten 0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:18.640 from Sunday through to Thursday nights at seven point thirty. 0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:21.599 After making it into the Master Chef Australia Class of 0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:24.799 twenty twenty four, Steph had proven to Australia that she 0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:27.560 was a breath of fresh air, giving this competition her all. 0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:31.440 She identifies as a savory girl through and through Steph 0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:34.839 Cook's meat to perfection and loves creating high end dishes 0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:39.440 inspired by favorite chefs like Jamie Oliver, Nigella Lawson, Ruth 0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:42.000 Rogers and Mike Reid. Steph is on a mission in 0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:45.040 the kitchen and in her future and hopes to host 0:00:45.159 --> 0:00:49.400 exclusive pop up dining experiences. Steph reveals with me today 0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:52.000 what was really going on inside her head and why 0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:55.319 she struggles to listen at times. We will also find out, 0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:57.360 of course, what her mum did think of that comment. 0:00:57.400 --> 0:00:59.120 That she made about her on the show, and why 0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:01.960 she thinks that staff went home last night. We will 0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:05.800 discuss Jamie Oliver and what he's really like during filming, 0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:08.760 and if Steph thinks that Jamie Oliver is stopping viewers 0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:11.080 from getting to know some of the other new judges. 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:14.360 I will get Steph's insights into how they collect the 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:17.679 stories during filming and how they do actually have producers 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:20.520 on set that eventually get edited out. There is also 0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:23.120 a fun analogy of one of the judges being a 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:25.040 little bit like mister Bean. I'm pretty sure you can 0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:27.320 probably guess, and I'm sure you'll have a bit of 0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:29.959 a giggle with that. There is so much to unpack 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:32.560 with Steph, so sit back and relax as we unpack 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:37.040 her time in the Master Chef Australia kitchen. Hi bad Hi, 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:37.880 how are you? 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:41.560 I'm good considering circumstances. 0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:44.720 How were you feeling after last night? I mean, it's 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:46.600 such a long time to wait. I mean this was 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:51.760 all started filming, was it last year? And then yeah? Yeahsia. 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:53.560 The pressure test of waiting. 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:55.040 The pressure test of waiting. 0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:58.600 Look it's a little bit traumatic, but look that's also 0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:00.480 I am really proud of myself. 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:01.600 What an experience. 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:04.840 So although it was very short, but sweet, and I 0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:06.640 didn't expect it to be this short. 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:08.960 My moment on Master Chef, what a journey. 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:11.480 Well, that's a good point to make. I think when 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:14.079 you sign up to these shows, you don't necessarily know you. 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:15.760 I mean, I guess you hope that you're going to 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:17.920 make it to the end. Did you talk about that 0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:20.200 with your friends and family and say I think I'm 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:23.160 going to make it midway? What was that sort of conversation. 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:27.400 With friends, family, fellow contestants. We all said, which probably 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:30.240 everybody who comes into this competition says, is as long 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:32.000 as I make it to the top ten, I'm happy. 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:34.760 And I know that I had you know what it's 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:36.680 worth to get there. I knew that I had it 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:39.560 in me so and I had so much more to give. 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:42.120 As everybody says as well, I knew I wouldn't. 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.640 Make it to the very end, maybe not like you know. 0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:46.640 I knew I wouldn't win, But it feels like you 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:49.320 are a winner even just being selected to go on 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:49.720 the show. 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:52.960 I really warm to you straight away in the part 0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:55.640 that I saw you in this show, I just thought 0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:58.119 there was something quite special about you, and you could 0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:00.600 see why they've sort of matted you into the mix 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.000 of something like this show. Do you know what's interesting 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:05.840 about Master Chef is there's no real conflict. That's not 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:07.720 how the show is set up, I mean. 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:09.000 How it's classes. 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:11.040 Would you have done a show? I mean, would this 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.640 show work if there was some tension in the kitchen? 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:14.200 Oh? 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:17.040 Look, what makes this show is just the connection that 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:21.000 everybody has to each other, from the producers, everybody working 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:24.440 the coal crew, the contestants of course, and the contestants 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:25.760 relationship with the judges. 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:29.720 Like it's just that's what makes it so incredible. 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:32.640 You walk into that kitchen and you just feel this 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:36.480 positive energy and it's amazing, amazing to be part of. 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:37.920 So no, it totally wouldn't be. 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:40.920 The same, It wouldn't be Master Chef if it had 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:43.080 a slight bit of bitchiness involved. 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:46.440 Do you get to keep your Master Chef aprons? Because 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:49.320 I do do. Oh my god, that's amazing. 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:50.680 I'm so happy. 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:54.080 You know that they released I think it was Cole's 0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:57.560 last year released versions of the Master Chef aprons. 0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:01.160 I know, I'm like, ex use me, I worked very 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:02.360 hard to get that. 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:04.600 I know did you feel a little bit robbed because 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:07.200 my partner's got one of home. He bought it as 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:09.360 soon as he saw a pair, and you should see 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:11.880 he walks around our kitchen when he's got. 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:12.400 That apron on. 0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:15.360 Think they any of all that in a bag of chippies? No, 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:15.880 I love it. 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:18.279 I actually went to the Fence Square activation and they 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:21.080 were pumping about. You know, there were people everywhere wearing 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:23.880 these aprons, and I was like, oh, my goodness, didn't 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:25.520 go through what I went through. 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:28.719 Earn your stripes, own your stripes? What's the banter like 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:30.600 with everyone? Are you? 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:31.799 Oh that's funny? 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:34.640 Do they help you organize like a WhatsApp to like 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:37.320 do the master chef God say, guys? You know, do 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:40.159 you swap numbers? Is there something facilitating? Or do you 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:42.520 just gravitate towards all being on WhatsApp? Like how does 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:42.960 that work? 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:46.320 Yeah? So, look, they were originally going to set it 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:48.520 all up, but we just loved each other so much 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:51.000 straight away we kind of took that to our own 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:53.880 hands and started the group up straight away. Of course, 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.200 you know, me being eliminated, you get off that group 0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:57.080 to make sure that. 0:04:57.480 --> 0:04:59.960 You know, you don't know any inside a secrets of whatsapped. 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:03.200 Well, it's airing, but then we have an eliminated group 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:05.760 chat and it's all fun and games there. 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:07.960 Oh wow, so hanging a sex So like, just to 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:10.600 get this right, you've got two chats. So there's a 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:13.480 certain sort of unspoken rule that once you leave the show, 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:16.240 you have to leave the chat or do you get booted? 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:19.320 For me, I took myself off right away, just because 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:21.480 what's going on behind the scenes, it's you. 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:23.040 Want it to be a secret uself at the end 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:25.400 of the day as well when it's airing, so you know, 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:28.240 a little bit of a surprise. So yeah, we created 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:31.479 our own for the eliminated people in the afterlife. 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:35.760 It's definitely version of reality series I think happening. You know, 0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:38.920 it's time to go, you know, No matter how many 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:41.880 times that I was told as a child and I 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:45.920 think as an adult, I just never did it. And 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:49.719 I just don't know if my brain is whired that way. 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:53.239 But did that haunt you watching that sort of moment, 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:54.799 even you bringing it up a camera? 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:56.880 Wow? I know. 0:05:57.279 --> 0:06:00.800 And then because I'm living in Melbourne now in Queensland 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:03.080 and we were messaging in the family group. 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:04.760 Chat and we were having. She was like, I don't 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:06.000 know whether to laugh or cry. 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:08.640 Well yeah, literally both. 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:11.800 But no matter how many times she can tell me, 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:13.120 you got to learn the hard way. 0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:15.960 It's like your brains. I don't know. I mean, I 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:17.240 can't speak for you, and I don't want to put 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:19.640 words into your mouth. But like when I was in 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:22.960 a classroom, or if I'm in a classroom format, there's 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:26.720 something about this feeling or a sense of being kind 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:30.200 of underwater, and also the pressure that I put on 0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:32.279 myself because I'm so aware of it. You know, come 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:35.240 on listen, really, come on listen. And then because my 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:38.920 brain is doing that in some way, it's blocking it out, 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:39.320 does that. 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:41.240 I resonate with that immensely. 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:43.200 Like I was on the phone to Mum this morning 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:45.839 and she said, you know, I think it wasn't about 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:49.240 you not listening. It was completely the environment that you 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:51.679 were in. I was struggling to be able to see 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:54.159 what was going on to start with because of where 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:55.120 I was placed, and. 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:57.160 You're just trying to get it all right, So your 0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:58.960 brain's in overdrive. It's hard. 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:02.159 So it's not really a matter of not listening at times, 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:04.720 it's just trying to keep up with that. You know 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:07.240 that episode's about keeping up with Jamie, not catching up 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:07.839 with Jamie's. 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:10.320 So I'm pretty shit at those sort of look and 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:13.280 learn cooking tutorials. I just the YouTube. 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:16.960 Try hate following instructions. 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:19.280 I hate it. I get Ikere. I'm like, I'd rather 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:22.040 struggle for hours than read the instructions. 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:24.920 Jill screw the desk outs upside down, you know what 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:26.400 I mean. Like that's just. 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:28.000 A friend to come over and help with the wine 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:30.760 or something for me, and they can read the instructions. 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:34.440 But you know, I look those tutorials on YouTube in 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:38.080 my kitchen, I top up on the counter and it's 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:40.520 certainly like I make. It doesn't matter how many times 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:42.760 I've made my besh mal sauce. I've still got that 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:45.680 lady in the background, some weird Canadian lady telling me 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:48.880 to make New Orleans besh male sauce. And it takes 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:51.800 She's on loop, Like you know, I could never you know. 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:55.480 It's not going to be good anyway. A French one 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:57.360 reading the subtitles or something. 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:00.360 Okay, Souff, you're gonna have to google that because there's 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:02.640 a difference between the French and the New Orleans besh 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:03.160 mal souce. 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:05.200 Oh stop, but you're teaching me something. 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:07.480 Well, this is only because I've been on loop this 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:12.760 YouTube tutorial for about ten years. My friend, Oh my goodness, 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:14.400 I love it. 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:16.480 I'm going to be googling this right after. 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:18.960 Yeah, I think it's the nutmeg. But anyway is that's 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:23.120 a different podcast. So cooking with Jamie Oliver would have 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:25.160 been a real life. 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:29.600 It was. Look, it was incredible, and to be able 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:30.520 to taste his food. 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:31.600 As well, I was like, oh, he made this, so 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:33.720 it's going to be like ten times more delicious. 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:35.440 I mean, I hadn't heard of it, like a chicken 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:37.480 Wellington or you know, the chicken that he cooks in 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:39.959 his family's part, but I'd never sit of seen that before. 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:43.040 I had made a beef Wellington before, so I kind 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:46.079 of had some idea. What was your relationship to that 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:48.520 kind of food? And when he was presenting that, did 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:51.440 you start to have a sinking feeling or did you think, oh, no, 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:52.320 I could do this. 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:54.599 When they first kind of when it was unfolding and 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:55.440 I knew what it was. 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:58.720 It's not the type of dish that I would be like, oh, 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:01.080 I'm going to make that at home. So it was 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:03.720 relatively new to me. But also, you know, how hard 0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:06.280 could it have been that puff pastry that was already made, 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:10.319 bloody chicken, breast, mushroom, duck cell and a beautiful sauce 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:11.000 and some sides. 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.160 So part of me was like, you know, this is 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:13.800 really easy. 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:16.720 But thinking back, my headspace wasn't good from the very start, 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:19.520 So I think that that was actually the undoing of me. 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:21.760 If I was in a better headspace, I would have 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:23.679 been fine. And you can really see that on screen 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:24.040 as well. 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:26.160 From the very start, you know, being on a show 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:29.000 like this and getting to see Jamieliva up close and 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:32.319 then having to have you know, that first hand experience, 0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:35.240 did you get to learn anything about him that maybe 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:37.880 most people wouldn't know about Jamie, he. 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:41.760 Is the most beautiful person. He's exactly how you would 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:44.120 how you think of him to be. And there's not 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:47.559 many times that you meet your hero and they are actually. 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:48.920 As amazing as what you thought they would be. 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:52.640 So he's super passionate about what he does, of course, 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:54.680 and he's so just calm. 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:55.960 His energy is beautiful. 0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:58.080 Like he walked into the green room and he was 0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:00.800 talking to us, and I was just so capped baby looking. 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:00.960 Up at him. 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:04.319 It was really engaged with us and trying to motivate us. 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:07.560 And he's just incredible. He's an amazing person. 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:10.200 In the last couple of episodes, you know the judges 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:11.959 who are knew some of them are you and we've 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:15.160 got Andy back again. But we asked sort of seeing 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:17.920 them taking a back seat. And I was looking online 0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:21.320 this morning and there's a few publications taking the show 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:24.360 to task to say, by having Jamie Oliver in the kitchen, 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:28.319 we're not really getting to know Sophia. Maybe an o 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:32.840 christoph as much. Interesting? Was that a feeling that you 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:34.640 guys had though in the kitchen was. 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:35.640 It definitely not? 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:38.280 Look, they were also present and my very first cook 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:40.840 in the kitchen, John Kustaf came up to me and 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:45.120 he was already teaching me techniques and they they're really. 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:46.240 Genuine gorgeous people. 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:48.400 So I think that Australia they're going to learn to 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:50.360 resonate with them and grow. 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:52.640 To love them if they don't already. So we definitely 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:53.439 I've read. 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:57.040 This from the morning and I was like, okay, I 0:10:57.080 --> 0:10:59.080 was like, I guess them bang up on the gantry 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:03.840 and being amongst the contestants. You know, maybe isn't positioning 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:06.400 them for some audience or for some people watching the 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:08.360 show in the way that they want. Like you know, 0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:10.640 when a new kid comes to school and you want 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:12.360 to get to know that new kid, you kind of 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:15.360 like everyone turn. So I think that's what's happening for them. 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:18.520 Yeah, I feel like, you know, you're starting to see 0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:20.760 their personality, their humor coming out. 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:22.840 Oh my god, John Kostoff, he's so funny. 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:25.480 He would have us just in absolute hysterics, but then 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:27.480 he's so genuine and caring as well, Like he just 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:29.440 comes up to him goes, how are you today? 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:33.520 And that's so nice. So they're all really really good people. 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:35.560 And I was always had to beat Poe and she's 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:36.880 just amazing as well. 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:39.319 So we're surrounded by the best, we really are. 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:41.920 Jean Christoph kind of reminds me of a couple of 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:45.760 people and I'm probably who laughing, Like he's like a 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:49.240 really smart mister bean with a bit of oh my god. 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:53.520 I've said that and he acts like it too, and 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:54.440 it's so goofy. 0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:56.520 You know, let's just put a pinch of you know, 0:11:56.600 --> 0:12:00.320 the chef from the Muppets, and oh my god Time 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:04.640 from Sesame Street. You know there's he's Erica Caricaturi, you 0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:05.120 know what I mean? 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:08.600 Gosh that Honestly, I've said so many times he's like 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:11.960 mister Bean because he pulls these spaces and he just 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:14.040 doesn't care what people think, like he just what he 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:15.040 wants to make people laugh. 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:16.120 He could be a comedian. 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:19.280 Are the producers collecting the stories or is it those 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:21.880 judges the whole time? Like, well, I've never been in 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:24.680 that kitchen, so I don't really necessarily. Is there like 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:27.120 story producers around watching you the whole time to make 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:30.000 sure that there's a cohesive story or is that being 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:32.520 left to a lot of the judges to collect story 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:33.920 like that the whole floor. 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:37.320 What's so amazing about watching Mastership is you could be 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:40.439 watching it and you only see the contestants and the judges. 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:44.280 There is so many incredible talented people all around, from 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:47.440 yes story producers to the cameramen, and they're. 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:50.160 All dressed in black so you don't see them in everything. 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:51.480 They're all hidden away. 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:53.720 But you know they're asking us questions along the way, 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:57.560 basically like a bank of information as well, so they. 0:12:57.440 --> 0:12:59.000 Remind me of things. I'm like, oh, my gosh, did 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:00.960 that actually happen? Did I do that? They know me 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:02.320 better than I know me. 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:05.600 So the way in which I think that this show 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:08.240 is produced, I think it is really hard to always 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:10.439 know as a viewer who's going home, because they're quite 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:13.840 often switch us, you know, with the drama. Now that 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:16.760 you've been in the Magic, you've seen how the strings 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:19.000 are being pulled at the Puppet Show, do you think 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:22.200 that you now will never be faked out by the 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:24.360 bait and switch? Because in some ways we could have 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:27.400 thought that Stephen or Lily could have gone home the 0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:31.280 way in which that that episode unfolded. But like you've 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:33.280 been in there, do you reckon you'd never be double 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:35.280 faked out by that kind of stuff again, because you 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:37.760 understand they. 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:37.880 Do it so well. 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:40.320 But it's interesting that you say that, because when Lil 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:42.839 and I were standing up there waiting to see who's 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:43.920 going home, I. 0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:46.760 Could I was watching Poe as she was speaking, and. 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:49.400 She was really looking at Lil, and I'm like, previously, 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:53.000 when I have watched Master Chef, you know that they 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:55.040 try and like, you know, the person that they're looking 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:57.160 at the most is not the one going home. 0:13:57.200 --> 0:13:58.320 So that's when I knew are screwed. 0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:00.360 So I knew that what they were trying to do, 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:03.680 like head scool almost to keep people like, oh my god. 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:06.120 You know I've spoken to I've got few friends that 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:08.640 host TV shows and they have to do this moment 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:11.760 with elimination. And I remember Sandel Krueger was telling me 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:15.200 that she would look above the people, so she would 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:17.240 look them at anyone, No one would be looked in 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:17.720 the eye. 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:19.360 Interesting, that's good. 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:23.120 And yeah, so Andrew g who as we know, is 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:27.400 now Osha Ginsburg, but he was referring to Andrew g days. 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:30.040 He was saying that he used to look at the 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:34.200 person who was safe because he felt more comfortable being like, well, 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:36.160 well I feel guilty I'm looking the other one in 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:36.720 the face, you know. 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:40.280 Yes, Okay, So it's like their own like kind of 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:42.160 personal way about it. 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:44.960 Maybe, however, they Cote. 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:47.760 Beth, looking back at the show, is there any kind 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:50.800 of intricate detail that you think might have worked better 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:52.160 or you could have done something different? 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:52.800 Yeah? 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:56.560 Look, I look back on what I've done, and you know, 0:14:56.640 --> 0:15:00.120 although I nearly caught the kitchen on fire, could have changed. 0:14:59.880 --> 0:15:03.480 It for the world. Like I really pushed myself. I 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:04.440 challenged myself. 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:09.000 I did the very best I could do in each challenge. 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:10.480 I knew that I did the best, and I couldn't 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:12.680 have done anymore. The only thing that I would say 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:17.080 is in last night's you know, elimination, I could see 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:21.360 from the very start, I wasn't there. I was you know, 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:24.920 I wasn't feeling it. I was nervous. My brain space 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:26.800 wasn't right from the start. So I guess that's taught 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:28.200 me to get out of my own head. 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:31.760 Say that on reality shows, they pulled them aside and say, 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:34.000 by the way we can see you're in your head, 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:35.480 You've got to get out of your own head. But 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:37.760 if anyone said that to me, what I'd be further 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:39.520 back in my head, Like if there's a space in 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:41.640 my head I've never been before, that's where I've gone to, 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:42.320 you know what I mean? 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:44.840 Yeah, yes, And that's exactly right. That's the way that 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:47.520 i'd work as well. So I think you're either you 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:49.760 got the mojo or you don't. And last night I 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:51.880 did not have my mojo, and that was the undoing. 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:53.560 So book's the plan. 0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:56.480 Now, Oh gosh, I have so much which I'll be 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:57.280 launching today. 0:15:57.960 --> 0:15:59.920 But I've been, you know, having fun at all.
