1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation.

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 2: Good morning guys. Great to be with you.

3
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,479
Speaker 1: It looks so cuddly and snugly. What have you got on?

4
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,959
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm cozy. This is my udie, my daughter, Maddie

5
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 2: and I have matching uddies and these are actually glow

6
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 2: in the dark stars. So we're already for bed.

7
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 3: So you can't be lost in the night.

8
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 2: No, I'll never be lost.

9
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,479
Speaker 3: You look fantastic and we've all been well aware of

10
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 3: your health journey. How are you going?

11
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks for asking. I'm doing really well. Thank you

12
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,599
Speaker 2: that the cancers in remissia that I'm feeling strong. It's

13
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 2: about six months post chemo now, so I'm starting to

14
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 2: feel like me again, which is great.

15
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 4: Long, luxuriant hair that didn't take long to happen again.

16
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 2: It's called extensions, Amanda.

17
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: It looks great.

18
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 2: Thanks.

19
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: So the new season, make it?

20
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 4: The new season's about to kick off. Every year it

21
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 4: gets more and more extreme. There's a new twist or something.

22
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 4: Where are we going to go into AI sex robots?

23
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: Where we go to where are you leading us this time?

24
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 2: There's an idea? Is that your ip?

25
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 3: Yes?

26
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: Actually yes, copyright me. I'm just signing my own name

27
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: on it stamp.

28
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 2: No. There actually is something quite new this year that

29
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: we've never done before. We've thrown in I guess you'd

30
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 2: call it a spanner towards the end of the experiment

31
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 2: where when we really get to the you know, the

32
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 2: last sort of group of couples who are really serious

33
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 2: about each other, and we throw this challenge to them.

34
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 2: That is another step closer, we think to emulating real life,

35
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 2: where we actually dangle some temptation in front of them,

36
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 2: which you know, as we know happens in real life.

37
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 2: You meet other couples, you know there are times perhaps

38
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 2: when someone else is there and maybe you know, I

39
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 2: start to wander. So we put them to the test,

40
00:01:55,080 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 2: and you'll find us presenting other people to our couples

41
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 2: and really throwing the question is the grass greener on

42
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 2: the other side, And you're going to see in some

43
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 2: couples both of them decide to go and explore follow

44
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 2: their curiosity. In other couples they both say no. And

45
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: then in other couples, one partner says yes and the

46
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 2: other says no. So you can imagine relationships.

47
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 3: It's quite it's quite extreme when you look at it.

48
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 3: And I've been watching the show since it started. But

49
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 3: you know, things like the honesty box and ranking how

50
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 3: the other how the other participants look on the scale.

51
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 3: And I would just do that with my bunch of friends.

52
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 3: And I should imagine if we sat down and had

53
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 3: to rank how good looking we were to all our friends.

54
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 3: How bad would that be?

55
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 2: You know?

56
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 4: Even just mentioning that, even mentioning it makes it scratch

57
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 4: everyone's eyes out.

58
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: It's tough friendship. I guess what you're doing.

59
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 4: It's doing a twenty year relationship trunk hating into a

60
00:02:58,200 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 4: couple of months.

61
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 2: That's it. That's it, and all of the pressure that

62
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 2: comes with you know, that long term relationship condensed down

63
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 2: as well, So it's incredibly intense for a couple.

64
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 4: You also play the same expert position for the English version.

65
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 4: How different are we culturally from the English? Or is

66
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 4: it all the stuff is the same?

67
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 2: Do you know? I think when I came over here,

68
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 2: I've done four seasons here in the UK now, and

69
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 2: I think initially I came over with a lot of

70
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: preconceived ideas. Really, I guess just playing into those stereotypes

71
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 2: of the British, you know, the stiff upper lip, And

72
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 2: I did expect them to be a lot more reserved

73
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 2: and to have to work a lot harder to get

74
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 2: their stories out. And I guess it was that way

75
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 2: a little bit initially, But I really think now if

76
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 2: you were to play the two shows side by side

77
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 2: and heard the sound off, you probably couldn't tell the difference.

78
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: They're just as open as the Aussie although the Brits

79
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 2: think the Aussies are a lot looser.

80
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 5: They're often say to me, oh, the other Aussie one,

81
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 5: it's so loose, And I guess compared with the Brits

82
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 5: we are. We're probably a bit less filtered, a little

83
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 5: bit more open, but they're still very much prepared, you know,

84
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 5: to open up and be vulnerable and throw themselves into

85
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 5: the experiment.

86
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 3: There's been a lot of chat about this Bonnie Blue

87
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 3: and this conquest of having a thousand guys and stuff

88
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 3: is married at first sight part of this. You know this,

89
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 3: I don't sound like a big preacher breakdown and morality.

90
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 2: I really hope not. I certainly don't see it that way,

91
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 2: and I don't think our audience sees it that way either.

92
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 2: I think our audience, whilst they're there for the confrontation

93
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 2: and they love the drama. They really do get. I

94
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: believe that underneath all of this is the quest for

95
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 2: love and that, you know, the heart and soul of

96
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 2: this show or this experiment really is if you put

97
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 2: two people together without them ever having that, can a

98
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 2: relationship work? You know? So that's really, you know, the

99
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 2: underlying premise. I don't think it's about salaciousness or you know, exploitation.

100
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 2: I really don't. I don't think the show would have

101
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 2: lasted this long, and I certainly wouldn't have been involved

102
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 2: in fifteen seasons across two countries if I thought that

103
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 2: it was. I think, you know, I think I think

104
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 2: we're talking about two very different things there.

105
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: And you've lasted this long without getting a neck tattoos. Congratulations.

106
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 3: And I haven't heard I haven't heard you say one

107
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 3: hundred percent. I haven't heard you say one hundred percent.

108
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 3: They love one hundred percent?

109
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 2: I lovey.

110
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 3: What about this lady two thousand percent? Well, it's been

111
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 3: going on for a long time. You look at Adam,

112
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 3: and that's how it started.

113
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: You've got to get the percentage.

114
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 3: Maybe God was the first God was the first expert.

115
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: And said, go you to the fourth one.

116
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 3: Just don't eat the fruit.

117
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,799
Speaker 1: Maybe that's what you do. You ten people with fruit

118
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: and see how you go.

119
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 2: Well, it's great season.

120
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 3: It's great to see that you're on the mend and

121
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 3: you look fantastic. Thank you for joining us. Then you

122
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 3: Season and Meridith First Sight kicks off on Monday at

123
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 3: seven thirty on Channel nine. Melchilling.

124
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thanks guys, nice to see you. You take care.
