TV 0:00:21.600 --> 0:00:24.439 Reload reloads the shows that we are all currently watching 0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:27.360 and gives you a better insight into our television industry 0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:30.520 and our streaming services today. On the podcast, I have 0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:34.320 two of the latest eliminated contestants from Channel ten's new 0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:38.320 reality series The Challenge Australia. It is Olympic medalist Emily 0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:42.520 Sebom and Big Brother twenty twenty winner Marley Biendelo. Marley 0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:45.720 is the basketball loving, social game playing Big Brother winner 0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:49.680 who wild audiences with his first reality TV experience. He 0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:52.680 doesn't take himself too seriously and I think he was 0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:56.040 a really great addition to The Challenge first series. Emily 0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:58.760 is the Olympic gold medalist who was last seen on 0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:01.160 armas Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, and her addition 0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:04.040 to this series was epic with an ability to do 0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:07.800 challenges like nobody else. But unfortunately, she did pick a 0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:09.959 few enemies up along the way and gave us some 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:13.240 pretty tense moments between her and her competitors. I will 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:16.640 ask Emily about her current relationship with Ryan, I'll ask 0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:20.160 Marley who from the Big Brother universe he expected to see, 0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:23.280 and I will also get the dirt from their former rivalries. 0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:25.840 As I asked them, they need to know questions that 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:28.720 will no doubt have them squirming in their seats. However, 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:31.840 let's get started with today's guests. I'd like to welcome 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:35.240 Marley and Emily from The Challenge Australia to TV Reload. 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:40.760 I went into that not knowing a single person in 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:42.360 there previously. 0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:42.959 On the Challenge. 0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:46.400 You can't judge people on where they came. 0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:49.160 From, strength, teamwork, resilience. 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:52.360 Funny you asked that, because you know I wouldn't have 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:54.200 thought that before coming into here. 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:56.000 What just happened right there? 0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:58.640 We tried to congratulate them and then just walk off. 0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:01.600 I was a big stand of the show, so when 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:03.360 I got to call up the show, I was having 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:04.160 that down for it. 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:07.040 Emily, Marley, tonight wasn't your night? 0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:11.000 Guys. Yeah, I'm very out of the reality TV scene 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:11.480 in world. 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:16.960 I'd say, hey, Maley, congratulations on surviving the Challenge Australia. 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:19.560 Ben, thank you very much. Barely I did, but I hey, 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:20.639 I made it. I made it through. 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:23.520 How did the Challenge Australia compare to Big Brother? 0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:28.480 Honestly, I I think and how I describe it when 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:31.600 people ask me, I think it was a breeze compared 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:34.639 to Big Brother. Now, I don't know if that's because 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:38.639 I had that experience prior to going into the Challenge 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:40.720 as being in a very similar game in Big Brother 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:45.160 all that Big Brother was just an absolute nutcase, crazy 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:48.640 social experiment like the Truman Show, and this was a 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:51.079 lot different than that, So maybe that's why it was easier. 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:55.000 But I just I feel like Big Brother, we were 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:59.639 constantly playing the game always, whereas being in the Challenge, 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:02.840 I think there were times where we could rest relax 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:06.080 and they allowed us to like just chill out outside 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:08.640 and take naps, Like in Big Brother, you can't take naps, 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:10.520 you know what I mean. So I feel like the 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:14.239 challenges were like crazy in Big Brother. They were also 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:16.600 crazy in the Challenge, But I just feel like all 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:20.160 in all, it was an easier experience, which was cool. 0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:22.639 I enjoyed that it was a lot more laid back 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:22.920 for me. 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:25.880 I kept watching it and thinking, you know, you had 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:28.560 so much experience with the new format of Big Brother 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:31.280 and those challenges, and some of the challenges were quite 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:33.960 reminiscent of some of the challenges you may have done 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:36.080 in Big Brother back in the day, So I thought, 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:41.400 you know, you had maybe more experience or actually got 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:43.200 a head start on these people, you know how it 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:43.840 all happens. 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:46.640 Definitely, that's exactly right, and I felt like that was 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.120 an advantage going into the game. I also felt like 0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:51.160 that would have put a target on my back going 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:53.880 in because people would have realized that I played a 0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:58.560 game very similar to this prior and actually won that game, 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:01.080 I guess. So I was like, oh, this might not 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:02.760 be the best for me coming in, but I knew 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:04.480 that that was going to be an advantage coming in, 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:06.520 and that's I think why then I felt like it 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:08.480 was such a breeze to me compared to Big Brother. 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:10.680 Did you also think that there would be other Big 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:14.000 Brother housemates in there, because as your name was being rumored, 0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:16.719 there was like Tim Dormer and Tully and a few 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:18.960 other names being rumored. So were you surprised to see 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:20.920 that you were the only Big Brother person in there? 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:23.000 God, Yes, I was, And I was hoping there was 0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:25.160 someone else in there. Then I had no one. I 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:29.320 went into that not knowing a single person in there. 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:33.400 Literally never spoken a word to anyone in that house. Ben, 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:36.000 So I was like, dude, I'm the only one here, 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:38.360 and I'm coming up against all these people that have 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:40.800 been on The Bachelor together or married at First Side 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:43.359 or you know this and that survivor, and you know, 0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:44.640 and I'm the only one in there. 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:47.080 Was the alliances was unfair. That's what I've kept thinking. 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:49.120 I was like, Paul Marley, if you were in there 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:51.320 and Big Brother people, you'd know this from when you 0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:53.000 go to functions. You go to functions and all the 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:55.599 Big Brother people stick together like glue, very much like 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:57.400 the way the Bachelor contestants. 0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:57.520 Were doing that. 0:04:57.960 --> 0:04:59.160 You needed that absolutely. 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:01.919 I did hear that Dormer and Tully were on the 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:04.000 list of people that they were casting, but when they 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:07.800 found out they both were in relationships, they pulled them out. 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:10.320 But then you're still with the same girlfriend hunt you. 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:12.920 Yeah, that's right. I sure, am, yeah, still with her 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:16.000 and actually, funnily enough, I think they were interested in 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:19.200 having Lenn potentially be on the challenge, so maybe down 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:23.400 the line we might be on there together at some point. Yeah, 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:25.159 which would be awesome. I would have loved to have 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:27.880 gone in there with her. So yeah, yeah, that is 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:29.600 interesting to hear. I didn't I didn't actually know that. 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:31.599 Maybe you'll get married and then your children will be 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:32.960 on the challenge and see it. 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:36.640 You know, it's just a long Yeah. 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:37.960 Was there anyone though? From yours? 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:40.320 I feel like we need the juice on this, because, like, 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:43.359 if you could choose two people from the Channel seven 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:46.080 iteration of Big Brothers, so not you know, not the 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.800 previous ones, but maybe someone from your season, maybe a 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:51.440 Daniel Grange. I don't know, is there someone that can 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:52.640 you give me two names? 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:55.080 Yeah? So wait, do you want me to pick one 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:56.360 person from my season as well? 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:58.320 Yeah? Just pick one from your season and one. 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:01.960 From the one from the one before. Hey yeah, good, good, Okay. 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:04.680 I would have loved to have gone in there. I 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:07.520 think Katie from my season would have been awesome on 0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:10.000 the challenge. I think she would have crushed it. Yeah, 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:13.400 get along with Katie yeah, her, Oh, Jess, they're the 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:15.080 same to me, Her, Jess. We're gonna put them in 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.480 as a pair, okay together a Katie or Jess one 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:21.080 of them would be great. And then oh yeah, Dan 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:23.360 from the season before would have been hilarious. Even Matt. 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:25.799 I love Matt. That would have been great. Mad good time, 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:28.320 you know, Yeah, he's such an awesome guy. I would 0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:30.160 have loved Madden there with me. That would have been 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:32.159 perfect if I if I had Madden there with me, 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:33.159 I would have been chilling. 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:35.520 You know that we're What we're talking about, essentially, though, 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:37.440 is what they need to do, and that is a 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:41.240 all stars version of the Channel seven series, because I 0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:43.719 think that would be I think we need another series 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:45.640 to happen, which you know we know is on the way, 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:47.760 and then they need to do like a collection of 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:49.800 five from you know, all the seasons that we've seen 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:50.279 on seven. 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:52.800 That would be great. And all of those people agreed, Okay, great, 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:53.560 Well we've talked. 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:54.760 About that stuff, so we can get that out of 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:59.160 the way. You know, did the type of show, you know, 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:01.719 does the type of show that the contestants come from 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:04.159 say much about who they are in the show, Like, 0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:08.120 did you notice that, Oh that's behavior from a Bachelor contestant. 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:11.680 Oh that's behavior from a survivor. Can you tell someone's 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:13.760 personality based on the show they come from? 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:16.360 That's so funny you asked that because you know, I 0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:19.520 wouldn't have thought that before coming into here, But yes 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:23.080 you can, And I think that's why from the jump 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:25.960 as well. For example, I got really close with Troy 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:28.680 and Brooke j from the jump, I knew. I knew 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:31.440 Brooke came from Survivor, a very similar show to be Brother. Yeah, 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:34.000 and you know she she not only was just an 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:37.400 amazing human being overall, but she understood how to play 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:40.480 a game. And that's kind of why and where we 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:43.200 connected within that game. And then there was the other 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:46.200 end of the house where there was this you know, 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:49.160 Bachelor crew or people coming from Love Island, And yes, 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:51.840 you could tell that they were from those shows. 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:55.960 Yeah, I thought you. I'm agree, but. 0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:58.560 Yeah, no, you're spot on. You're spot on, Ben. 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:01.600 Yeah, And I also curious to know, like you know, 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:04.600 for you, you're not someone who's really known as having 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:06.880 outrageous things said about them in the media, like you're 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:09.560 pretty squeaky clean. But I love to ask people what's 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:11.800 the most outrageous thing they've read about them, you know, 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:12.600 in the news? 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:13.000 Have? 0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:15.440 And I tried to look, because you always looked for 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:18.000 something like that online, and I honestly couldn't find anything 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:18.880 that was untrue. 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:21.280 Everything that anyone was writing about it was pretty accurate. 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:24.760 You haven't robbed a bottle shop or done anything, dad, 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:28.080 But what's the most outrageous thing you've read about yourself online? 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:28.720 That's not true? 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:32.280 That's that's so good. I honestly, I haven't really seen 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:34.840 much either then, And I'm not gonna lie. I don't 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:38.120 even look into it too much. I really I couldn't 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:42.320 care too much about what people were to write up 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:46.200 about me, and I honestly I haven't seen anything outrageous myself. 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:50.000 Maybe you and I can make something up, you and 0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:52.640 I can put something out there, you know, then we 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:54.800 can maybe we can both say that we rubbed a 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:57.760 bottle shop together, and we need that. 0:08:57.840 --> 0:08:58.079 I mean. 0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:00.560 The funny thing about being in a reality show with 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:03.240 a collection of reality show contestants you know already been 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:06.040 through the process, is that they are the type of 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:09.600 people have Google alerts on themselves because you know, but 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:12.640 you're not like that at all. I know this not 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:15.760 at all the very little that I've had interactions with you. 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:17.280 You're just not the sort of person that's going to 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:18.920 be sitting there googling your name at home, you know 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:19.319 what I mean. 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:21.840 No, I'm so not in that And even though I've 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:25.280 been into reality TV shows now, I'm still so not 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:28.160 in that world. And hence why I didn't freaking know 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:31.600 anyone coming into this, Like I just came in not 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:34.000 only on my own so that was a disadvantage, but 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:37.920 also didn't even know anybody coming into this game. So yeah, 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:41.199 I'm very out of the reality TV scene and world. 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:42.360 I'd say that, But. 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:44.720 You also make good television, which is why. I remember 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:46.920 when they were casting one of the seasons of SAS, 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:49.200 I knew the casting woman, and I rang and said, 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:52.040 you have to put Marley on this show. You're awesome, 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:55.319 And I just still think that's a possibility. We've still 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:57.240 got to get you into SAS because I think that's 0:09:57.240 --> 0:09:59.760 a show that you would crush more than this. 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:00.680 I don't know why. 0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:03.880 Yeah, yeah, I agree. I'm such a competitive band and 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:06.640 that's where you know where and why I wanted to 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:10.040 do the challenge, but also why I was so disappointed. 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:12.040 I didn't, you know, get all the way to the 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:15.040 final and just missed out there at the end. Because 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:17.800 I'm just such a competitor. I just want to do 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:21.600 anything to win, and I will almost do anything to 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:25.960 win in a competitive sense. And yeah, no, definitely any 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:30.640 competitive based show. I am definitely open ears and down Fred. 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:32.520 What about Emily studying this show? 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:35.199 Though? I was wondering whether you studied the show, because 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:37.319 you know, The Challenge is a show that's been happening 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:40.199 around the world. They have different iterations of it. Did 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:42.200 you go and watch those to sort of bone. 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:42.760 Up like she did? 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:43.559 Absolutely? 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:43.920 I did. 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:48.199 I definitely did. I It's funny. Actually, so my girlfriend 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:50.640 when I came out of Big Brother, she was such 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:53.600 as she's American, she has watched the Challenge since she's 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:56.240 been little. So when I came out of Big Brother, yeah, 0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:57.840 her and all her teammates like, you got to do 0:10:57.840 --> 0:10:59.480 the Challenge next, You got to do the Challenge next. 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:02.120 So it's so funny, this full circle moment that almost 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:03.880 a year later I got asked to be on the 0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:07.880 Challenge and from that point I started watching the American 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:12.120 seasons and I was freaking like, yo, this is wild right, 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:16.839 like insane. And I had a little moment in the 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:19.800 actual game where we were in water at twelve am 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:23.319 at night, this random Argentinian lake. It was freaking freezing, 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:26.679 and I was having flashbacks to one of the American 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:30.720 episodes where this guy had like he was getting hypothermia 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:33.560 and he like couldn't be like an ambulance had to come, 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:35.840 and I was like, oh my god, this is happening 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:36.080 to me. 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:39.200 I love that it's a possibility for You're like, in 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:41.000 real life, how do you not watch that show? You 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:43.040 would have been like, there's no way that these producers 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:47.360 would allow me to get hypothermia exactly exactly. Then you're 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:51.000 freaking out telling everyone's no, we are going to get 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:55.000 the hypothermia, and the ambulance are on their way. 0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:57.200 I absolutely love it. I think it's great. 0:11:57.440 --> 0:11:59.679 You know, in comparison to the versions that you've now 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:02.080 because you've seen the Australian version, you've watched it back hopefully, 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:05.760 but how did our version compare to the American version? 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:11.600 Look, it was it was. I think they went went 0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:13.640 easy on us for the first season, which I think 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:16.280 they had to. It's at the sure season them doing 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:19.680 something like this in Australia and they did. You know 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:22.280 we're We're on at seven thirty on Channel ten. It's 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:25.360 a family friendly slot there compared to America, which is 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:27.800 a nine thirty slot on MTV. It was a lot 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:31.480 less brutal. I think the challenges were a lot less brutal. 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:33.440 I don't know if that was to do with them 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:35.679 just trying to ease people into it and us as 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:38.080 a cast into it, or maybe it was a you know, 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:39.760 a funding thing as well. You know, this is the 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:41.960 first time they did this, so they can't have crazy 0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:44.920 extravagant things like us jumping out of fricking aeroplanes and 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:47.120 stuff like they do the American season. That's what I 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:50.280 came in and expected to do. So I think it was. 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:53.840 Yeah, yeah, it was still hanging off a. 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.800 Bit almost exactly we're still doing stuff like that, But 0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:59.880 I think, yeah, it was. It was a lot easier 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:02.000 than the American seasons. But I think it's just going 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:04.000 to get better and you know, continue to get more 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:05.920 brutal depending on who they cast. 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:07.000 It'll go from there. 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:11.719 Everyone that's joining the podcast from the Challenge Australia that 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:13.720 I've had on of us and these five need to 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:15.480 know questions. You don't need to go into too much 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:18.440 detail unless you want to throw yourself right under that bus. 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:21.320 But yeah, well are you ready to go? We'll got 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:22.600 top five questions. 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:23.800 Okay me, I'm ready to go. 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:26.200 Who was the nicest contestant in there? 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:29.199 Brook J? Brook J was the nicest? 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:32.280 Definitely just a side note.

I think by popular demand, it 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:02.120 might be cont Connor, but I think Karen in my 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:04.040 eyes because I was kind of aligned with Connor, so 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:06.479 maybe kids Karen. 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:08.080 Kind of looks like he could be like a modern 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:09.760 age Disney villain, you know what I mean, like. 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:12.320 Absolutely yeah, and looked he plays the part well, you 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:14.400 know what I mean, great guy, But I just I 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:15.840 know that he would do anything. 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:18.280 From living with these people.
