Speaker 1: It's in the news today, but it was actually on
Speaker 1: TV Reload the podcast last week The Light. Welcome back
Speaker 1: to TV Reload. My name's Benjamin Norris and on this
Speaker 1: podcast I go behind the scenes with the biggest players
Speaker 1: in television. Each episode you will get a front row
Speaker 1: seat with content makers like executive producers, writers, editors, and
Speaker 1: casting agents, plus the talent that we see on our screens.
Speaker 1: TV Reload reloads the shows that you were currently watching
Speaker 1: and gives you a better insight at our television industry
Speaker 1: and streaming services today. On the podcast, I have the
Speaker 1: Big Brother love bird Sam the latest DIVICTI has been
Speaker 1: dating good guy turned bad boy Drew. The twenty twenty
Speaker 1: two love story has been blown up officially with Samming's
Speaker 1: second eviction. The series was promoted heavily with this year's romance,
Speaker 1: as fans were keen to see how this relationship would
Speaker 1: play out. After all, Drew from twenty thirteen was back
Speaker 1: living with his ex Tully, also from twenty thirteen. The
Speaker 1: two have been quite the talk of the Big Brother
Speaker 1: world for nearly ten years. So how was Sam going
Speaker 1: to fit into that dynamic? Well, if you ask me,
Speaker 1: it was always going to be front and center. Well
Speaker 1: until now we will talk new and old alliances, ex
Speaker 1: boyfriends now Drew and Josh. How Sam was cast on
Speaker 1: the show, and well, so many rumors that I felt
Speaker 1: like Santa Claus ticking off a Christmas list. We did
Speaker 1: have a few glitches along the way, so I do
Speaker 1: apologize for any frustration, but I think I have cleaned
Speaker 1: it up as much as possible. However, let's get started
Speaker 1: with today's guest. I'd like to welcome Sam Minofski to
Speaker 1: TV Reload.
Speaker 2: It was really hurtful. You know, I've put so much
Speaker 2: of my trust in this person this year. It's my
Speaker 2: twenty first birthday. Those three guys definitely feel like my rocks.
Speaker 2: And I've invited housemates both new and legendary. Some people
Speaker 2: just can't live together. We'll experience enough to take on
Speaker 2: the next generation of housemaids. There was still a few
Speaker 2: things that were a bit sticky between the two of
Speaker 2: them and the new contenders.
Speaker 1: I'll git big Brother royalty.
Speaker 2: I had a lot of emotional connections and I played
Speaker 2: from my heart, this is big brother.
Speaker 1: Hi Sam, how.
Speaker 2: Are you very well? Thank you thanks for having me.
Speaker 2: I'm excited.
Speaker 1: I'm all the fields well, congratulations on your time on
Speaker 1: Big Brother. Was the experience anything like you thought it
Speaker 1: would be?
Speaker 2: Absolutely not. You cannot prepare. You cannot prepare for that experience.
Speaker 2: Big Brother just doesn't allow for that. Big Brother is
Speaker 2: just unpredictable. So yeah, there's nothing that I could have
Speaker 2: done to prepare myself for what I experienced.
Speaker 1: Well, it was an interesting start for you because Josh
Speaker 1: really blew up your game very early on. What has
Speaker 1: your relationship been like with Josh since Josh.
Speaker 2: And I have unfortunately we discontinued our friendship. I think
Speaker 2: that it's for the best for both of us at
Speaker 2: this stage. My feelings for Sam, to be honest with you,
Speaker 2: haven't changed.
Speaker 3: She's my dream girl and I want her back.
Speaker 1: You know. There was a few rumors that sort of
Speaker 1: floated around because of him, and he was telling everyone
Speaker 1: in Australia that he got you onto the show. Have
Speaker 1: you got a different version of that story? I mean,
Speaker 1: is it true that he got you into the series?
Speaker 2: I have no idea. As far as I know, he's
Speaker 2: not part of the casting team. I received a phone
Speaker 2: call from the producers and they shared with me that
Speaker 2: they loved what they saw on my Instagram account. So yeah,
Speaker 2: well I'm aware of is that they loved me from Instagram.
Speaker 2: So I got myself on the show.
Speaker 1: You know, a couple of other rumors floated around that
Speaker 1: you may have met Drew prior to the show. Was
Speaker 1: it true that you'd exchange numbers Withdrew in Melbourne at
Speaker 1: a chance meeting?
Speaker 2: Yeah, like when I I did not know him before
Speaker 2: going into the show. My friends told me that there
Speaker 2: was one night back at the Saint in twenty fifteen
Speaker 2: or I don't know. I can't even remember when I've
Speaker 2: just been to the Saint once. I remember the birthday.
Speaker 2: They're like, you've given Drew your number before. I'm like,
Speaker 2: I gave a lot of guys my number that year.
Speaker 2: I don't know, like when he fits into it. So
Speaker 2: I didn't. I didn't even know what Drew looked like
Speaker 2: in this year going into the house.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, So when did you know that Drew was
Speaker 1: going into the series? Because there was this other rumor
Speaker 1: going around that you'd found out that he was going
Speaker 1: into this series while you're in lockdown? Is that also
Speaker 1: not true?
Speaker 2: That's not true. No, I found that Drew was coming
Speaker 2: into the house when he popped his head out of
Speaker 2: the deck. That's when I found that Andrew was coming
Speaker 2: in the house.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if Drew wasn't in the show, would things have
Speaker 1: played out any differently between you and Josh. I mean,
Speaker 1: it seemed like that ship at it resale from your perspective.
Speaker 2: No, nothing would have changed my feelings towards Josh. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Drew came in after Josh, so Drew has nothing to do.
Speaker 2: They're too separate. But I hope that he does what
Speaker 2: I was going to do, take down the ultimate player
Speaker 2: of the game, Tim. If Drew is the one to
Speaker 2: do it, oh my god, that would be the best, like.
Speaker 1: The best outcome. When you left, you seem pretty confident
Speaker 1: that Drew would try and take Tim out of the competition.
Speaker 1: But that is the opposite of what's kind of happened.
Speaker 1: Did that put a strain on your relationship after you
Speaker 1: left the show?
Speaker 2: The way Drew played the game and the way I
Speaker 2: played the game was very different. I had a lot
Speaker 2: of emotional connections and I played from my heart. Yeah,
Speaker 2: what happened in the end didn't really influence the way
Speaker 2: like our relationship after the show. We have different lifestyle choices,
Speaker 2: We're very different people. He's a very busy guy, and
Speaker 2: I'm here on the Sunshine Coast, and we weren't. Neither
Speaker 2: of us were wanting to move for each other. So
Speaker 2: those are the sorts of things that impacted our relationship
Speaker 2: posts Big Brother.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean it's like the movie Speed, you know,
Speaker 1: where Sandra Bullock says to Keanu Reeves. You know, relationships
Speaker 1: based on extreme situations never work out. So I guess
Speaker 1: Big Brothers kind of like the movie Speed, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Big Brothers like a vortex. It's a completely
Speaker 2: different world. It's not the same as what it is
Speaker 2: out here. It's just not reality. Even though it's Reality TV.
Speaker 2: Everything inside the house is real. The emotions are real,
Speaker 2: the experiences are real. The context is not real. You know,
Speaker 2: we have TVs, we have mobile phones, we have a
Speaker 2: whole world out here that is not what Big Brother is.
Speaker 1: The viewers and some housemates have all weighed in on
Speaker 1: your relationship with Drew. What do you say when people
Speaker 1: had made comment that you know you were more into
Speaker 1: Drew than he was into.
Speaker 2: You think, I think that you know, people are entire
Speaker 2: their opinion, and I guess I know what's true, and
Speaker 2: I know what Drew and I shared. So I don't
Speaker 2: really pay too much of stuff like that because it's
Speaker 2: like it's not true. But for those people who are
Speaker 2: questioning the relationship between Drew and I, look like it
Speaker 2: was reciprocated and it was very Yeah, it wasn't one
Speaker 2: sided at all. Definitely not and you'll get to see that.
Speaker 1: Have you been reading the comments online? Like how are
Speaker 1: you coping with you know, now being in the spotlight
Speaker 1: so to speak.
Speaker 2: Look, I have been reading some of the comments. I
Speaker 2: really don't have a lot of time. I'm busy, Like
Speaker 2: I've got a lot of clients to deal with. I've
Speaker 2: got a lot of stuff happening in my life. I
Speaker 2: do receive a lot of beautiful feedback and I do
Speaker 2: have time for that. And sometimes I respond to the
Speaker 2: fans and thank them. Then I see the phade kise
Speaker 2: and I'm just like, you have gone to the nth
Speaker 2: degree to actually get onto my account and share some
Speaker 2: really horrible things and you don't know anything about me.
Speaker 2: For those people, I just don't allow time and space
Speaker 2: for them in my world. Like, I've got better things
Speaker 2: to do than worry about people who don't know me.
Speaker 1: What's the one thing that people come up and say
Speaker 1: to you on the street. So when you're walking around
Speaker 1: up on the Sunshine Coast, you know, what are people
Speaker 1: coming up and saying to you.
Speaker 2: I've flown back and forth from Melbourne, so I've been
Speaker 2: seen at the airport a bit. They love me on
Speaker 2: the show asking about Drew and I. It's just like
Speaker 2: positive feedback, really happy to meet me. Just really beautiful people. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's been really nice.
Speaker 1: You know, the conversation with Joel was pretty hectic that
Speaker 1: Drew managed to have. Were you disappointed to see that
Speaker 1: Drew was having that conversation. I mean he seemed to
Speaker 1: be the instigator in that conversation with Joel, making a
Speaker 1: pact that you know, they would both get rid of
Speaker 1: their girlfriends. I mean, how did that play out for
Speaker 1: you when you finally saw that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Look, when I saw that, it was really hurtful.
Speaker 2: My heart did sink and I did feel quite triggered it.
Speaker 1: He's just gave me a proposition that he would take
Speaker 1: out Alicia down the track if I can get Sam
Speaker 1: be evicted.
Speaker 2: There's a bottleneck. It was really hurtful. You know, I
Speaker 2: put so much of my trust in this person, and
Speaker 2: that completely changed my experience in the house, and had
Speaker 2: he been honest with me from the Gecko, I probably
Speaker 2: would have had my own independent space and gain to
Speaker 2: play rather than being merged with him.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you'd have been able to make some
Speaker 1: great relationships inside the house. Who has been you know,
Speaker 1: the strongest relationship that you've built in your Big Brother
Speaker 1: experience long term.
Speaker 2: So I expected Tim and to us regularly. I was
Speaker 2: just spected Johnson regularly. And it has been really beautiful dad,
Speaker 2: just to have that support. You know, Tim has had
Speaker 2: the experience of being in the house. To Rus is
Speaker 2: just so truthful and honest and we'll just call me
Speaker 2: into integrity and and you know, speak so many beautiful
Speaker 2: words to me. And Johnson's just amazing for a laugh.
Speaker 2: So those three guys definitely feel like my rocks in
Speaker 2: this in this experience hosts the Big brother have. And
Speaker 2: I'm in regular contact with Alisha as well. So it's
Speaker 2: been nice just to have that support.
Speaker 1: Interesting that with Tully, you know, she really wanted a
Speaker 1: redemption storyline coming back into the show. You know, how
Speaker 1: do you think that she went. Do you think that
Speaker 1: she was able to redeem you know, a different storyline
Speaker 1: for herself being in the show this time around.
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, I think it would have helped that, you know,
Speaker 2: Drew was preoccupied, so that would have kept the whole
Speaker 2: story separate.
Speaker 1: How does it feel living with your ex boyfriend?
Speaker 3: Look, I'm not gonna lie, it's a bit awkward. I
Speaker 3: think they're actually very well suited and it's quite sweet
Speaker 3: most of the time, but being all cute and romantic
Speaker 3: literally directly opposite me, it's just like, I feel like
Speaker 3: a creep.
Speaker 2: I think that she was still dragged into the storyline
Speaker 2: a bit, and look, it was really cool just to
Speaker 2: watch her stand on her own two feet, and as
Speaker 2: she evolves in the show, she does really find her
Speaker 2: feet away from Drew, because there was still a few
Speaker 2: things that were a bit sticky between the two of them,
Speaker 2: where she didn't vote for me to leave Andrew's birthday
Speaker 2: and that that just sort of shows that she's still
Speaker 2: kind of like, you know, in connection with him.
Speaker 1: She still has a friendship with him, She still has.
Speaker 2: A friendship with him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, the Ogs seemed to be imploding at
Speaker 1: the end of tonight's episode. You know, we really got
Speaker 1: to see a tease of you know, Estelle and Tim
Speaker 1: starting to lock horns. You know what do you think
Speaker 1: has made the Ogs lose grip on the competition?
Speaker 2: In my opinion, I feel that you have two people
Speaker 2: playing very different games, and you know, too many cooks
Speaker 2: spoil the broths. So I think that Tim is very
Speaker 2: strategic and he has such a brilliant mind and he
Speaker 2: has this ability to see people's gifts and see, you know,
Speaker 2: what works with them and what doesn't, whereas Estelle I
Speaker 2: think plays more into the emotions. I think, yeah, there's
Speaker 2: just a difference there. You know, Tim's quite straight up
Speaker 2: and transparent, and I think that it can be quite
Speaker 2: triggering and an explosive blow up. You know what, Tim,
Speaker 2: just shut up.
Speaker 3: You push people, and you push people and you push people.
Speaker 1: Has the original housemates on the verge of collapse have
Speaker 1: a bit of decorum?
Speaker 2: No, you could just leave it for a minute.
Speaker 1: Game.
Speaker 3: Do you push people when they're already dealing shit?
Speaker 1: The Ogs are imploating and it's about time. Interesting that
Speaker 1: you were saying about, you know, the dynamics of Tim
Speaker 1: and a Stelle. You know, do you think that they
Speaker 1: are controlling the OG's game? Do you think that they
Speaker 1: are the people in charge of how that whole system
Speaker 1: is running.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Tim and no Stelle are definitely leading
Speaker 2: the park for the Ogs. Team's playing his own game,
Speaker 2: definitely playing his own game, and Estelle is attached to
Speaker 2: this like pack mentality. He's got to go, He's gonna go.
Speaker 1: We cannot twist it was someone removes the Tully question
Speaker 1: the question marks gone. Yeah, and Alicia was really emotional
Speaker 1: in the elimination room. Did you know where her vote
Speaker 1: was going at that stage?
Speaker 2: It's really hard, Toll. It's really hard to predict what
Speaker 2: will happen in an eviction ceremony because we are still
Speaker 2: scrambling at that point, We're still fighting for our position
Speaker 2: in the house. I could see Alicia was struggling and
Speaker 2: she had to make a choice that was better for
Speaker 2: her game. So may being so vogue and unpredictable in
Speaker 2: my own game, Yeah, I think that she was really
Speaker 2: struggling to choose because we did have a really solid
Speaker 2: friendship in the house.
Speaker 1: Has your relationship changed with what now seems to be
Speaker 1: the real world versus Big Brother? I mean, you're inside
Speaker 1: a social experiment, and I know this for myself. Some
Speaker 1: relationships feel stronger in the house, and then they seem
Speaker 1: to disintegrate after the show. You know what has been
Speaker 1: the biggest evolution of friendship since the show has come
Speaker 1: to an end.
Speaker 2: The biggest evolution of friendship has definitely been with Tim Trass.
Speaker 2: I mean Trass and I had this one conversation at
Speaker 2: the very beginning of the game and I just remember thinking,
Speaker 2: this guy is a legend. I love him. I felt
Speaker 2: an instant connection with him, and I just thought, I
Speaker 2: don't really need to put much effort into this friendship
Speaker 2: because it was just this knowing that we just get
Speaker 2: each other. So I think, to my detriment, not having
Speaker 2: put enough energy into that friendship obviously caused me issues
Speaker 2: later on in the game. But since leaving the house,
Speaker 2: we have just become such solid friends. And you know,
Speaker 2: I share some of my deepest fears with him and
Speaker 2: he just gives me some of the best advice. And
Speaker 2: same with Tim. You know, Tim and I had a
Speaker 2: very similar or. We had a really beautiful start. We
Speaker 2: were really close. I was sleeping on the og side
Speaker 2: of the house, and we just really connected spiritually and
Speaker 2: mentally and yeah, emotionally. We had some really deep conversations
Speaker 2: and I think it helps that I didn't know him
Speaker 2: from Big Brother because I didn't have that like star
Speaker 2: kind of I didn't have stars in my eyes when
Speaker 2: I was having conversation. I wasn't starstruck, that's the word.
Speaker 2: And Yeah, since the show has ended, he's been a
Speaker 2: massive support as well, and I'm probably going to collaborate
Speaker 2: together in the future with some work. And we've just
Speaker 2: had some really great conversations. Like I said, he has
Speaker 2: a brilliant mind. He's really good at helping people better
Speaker 2: understand themselves because he sees things for what they are.
Speaker 2: And I think that that's a really beautiful skill. And
Speaker 2: it obviously served you well in the game because he
Speaker 2: was able to use that to his advantage. But in
Speaker 2: the outside world, he doesn't use it in that way.
Speaker 2: He don't use that skill in that way.
Speaker 1: You know, Tim really seem to have it in for
Speaker 1: you during the show. You know what made you his
Speaker 1: biggest target? Do you think it was just simply that
Speaker 1: you were taking away his mate from him and maybe
Speaker 1: that's where the problem fell down.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think history has a way of repeating itself,
Speaker 2: you know, Like I took away Drew's attention. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: I think that for Tim's game it would have been
Speaker 2: more fun to have just his best mate back in
Speaker 2: the house, and unfortunately he didn't have that, and then
Speaker 2: instead made an enemy out of his friend by coming
Speaker 2: for me.
Speaker 1: It's so strange, you know. I was reading yesterday online
Speaker 1: people were saying, maybe Tim has the secret hots for Drew.
Speaker 1: Do you think that there's any truth in that.
Speaker 2: I think everybody would secretly have the hots for Drew.
Speaker 2: He's very charismatic and charming. He's just got those beautiful
Speaker 2: blue eyes, and he's very dreamy.
Speaker 1: I know, I'm like I think everyone, I mean, even myself,
Speaker 1: Like sometimes when I've been out with Drew because we're friends,
Speaker 1: you know, I'll be like, this man is just so beautiful.
Speaker 2: Only human, Ben really human.
Speaker 1: Do you think that your second chance to stay in
Speaker 1: the house was fair gameplay? Because you know, you were
Speaker 1: eliminated fairly and you kind of walked out and then
Speaker 1: just pulled the streamer and then all of a sudden
Speaker 1: you're back into the show. Do you think some of
Speaker 1: those twists that Big Brother plays with the housemates are
Speaker 1: fair because not everyone got a second chance.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean definitely. It was an opportunity for me
Speaker 2: to come back, and I had this master plan to
Speaker 2: get Tim, and unfortunately I didn't. I didn't get enough
Speaker 2: people behind it. I didn't realize that Johnson and Tim
Speaker 2: had made a deal, and that makes sense now why
Speaker 2: he wasn't in support of it. So yeah, I did
Speaker 2: really try to utilize my second chance challenge or not challenge,
Speaker 2: so just my second chance. But yeah, we don't get
Speaker 2: to see all that sort of stuff. We don't get
Speaker 2: to see what happens behind the scenes, you know, where
Speaker 2: I was really rallying up this strategy, working with a
Speaker 2: few people in the house, like to rass. We had
Speaker 2: had a few conversations around some strategies around that, but yeah,
Speaker 2: it didn't it didn't, unfortunately work out that way. Turns
Speaker 2: out I'm not that great at playing your brother.
Speaker 1: Well that's one way of looking at it. But at
Speaker 1: the same time as well, you know, hindsight is a
Speaker 1: beautiful thing. You know, watching the show back is a
Speaker 1: completely different thing to what it's like to be in
Speaker 1: there twenty four hours a day. It's a completely different
Speaker 1: experience and you can think, oh, wow, I wish I
Speaker 1: would have done that differently, but that's just isn't how
Speaker 1: it happens. That's not how it falls down, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally, And like the emotions, the adrenaline, the sleep deprivation,
Speaker 2: the filip through deprivation, all of these catalysts for drama,
Speaker 2: which is what happens. You know, they're just fires, are
Speaker 2: just setting off left, right and center. So it's like
Speaker 2: really hard to hold your ground and stay centered it
Speaker 2: when you have so many moving parts in a small
Speaker 2: space with a lot of people, and then you have
Speaker 2: big brother who's just sate. It's so sadistic. So yeah,
Speaker 2: of course it's it's amazing looking from the outside in.
Speaker 2: But yeah, being in the house is just a completely
Speaker 2: different experience to watching myself.
Speaker 1: Now, how are you going watching it? Like do you
Speaker 1: have to drink a bottle of wine? Do you have
Speaker 1: to do yoga beforehand? And afterwards? Like how has the
Speaker 1: experience been for you?
Speaker 2: Watching the show back, I'm literally screaming at myself. I
Speaker 2: know what happens, but then I'm just like, don't do it,
Speaker 2: don't do it. Sometimes I've had wine and sometimes I've
Speaker 2: done yoga. I've done both. I'm a bit of a
Speaker 2: libra like that. I like to keep things im balance.
Speaker 2: Sometimes I've watched it with friends. Sometimes I've watched it alone.
Speaker 2: It's been a really interesting experience watching back and just seeing, yeah,
Speaker 2: just seeing how I hold myself. I'm pretty proud of myself,
Speaker 2: to be honest with you, I think that I like
Speaker 2: just the work that I've done. I'm not the same
Speaker 2: person I was many years ago, and I just feel
Speaker 2: like the way that I stood up for myself, the
Speaker 2: way that I backed myself, I've never had that before,
Speaker 2: and Big Brother gave me that. I've never had self
Speaker 2: belief in the way that I experienced in the house.
Speaker 2: So even though I wasn't playing the best game, I
Speaker 2: played my best game and I was my best self.
Speaker 1: It's also strange because I mean, you know, you did
Speaker 1: really end up kind of playing this game with Drew.
Speaker 1: You know, in hindsight now, do you wish that you
Speaker 1: had parked the relationship with Drew. Do you think that
Speaker 1: it would have been better for you to play your
Speaker 1: own game and not be in that relationship and then
Speaker 1: maybe have a cheeky patch with them at the after party.
Speaker 2: The issue with Drew and I is that, like we
Speaker 2: had this little love bubble that we were in, but
Speaker 2: we didn't actually play the game together. I wasn't really
Speaker 2: voting the same way he was. I was voting in
Speaker 2: a way that was sort of like who I connected with.
Speaker 2: I was playing with my heart, playing a social game.
Speaker 2: He was way more strategic. And I think that we've
Speaker 2: clashed there. But being in a relationship in the house
Speaker 2: definitely hindered my game, and it, you know, was something
Speaker 2: that I didn't want to do. My intention was not
Speaker 2: to get involved with anybody coming into the house. However, Yeah,
Speaker 2: we just clicked. We had so much fun together. We
Speaker 2: just laughed all day every day and it was great.
Speaker 2: So I wouldn't change it, but it did, it did.
Speaker 2: It did impact my experience for sure.
Speaker 1: Why do you think that he doesn't get along with
Speaker 1: Estelle in the house? I mean you would expect that
Speaker 1: because those who had met outside of the house and
Speaker 1: had a friendship, and you know, they're both Big Brother alumni.
Speaker 1: You know, they're the ogs. You know, why do you
Speaker 1: think they clashed so much inside the Big Brother House?
Speaker 2: Ah? I think they clashed because a Stell is quite
Speaker 2: driven by her emotions and Drew. Yeah, Drew just really
Speaker 2: wasn't available for that, and he just he doesn't like
Speaker 2: a winge and a complainer or anything like that. And
Speaker 2: I think they clushed because you know, they had misinterpreted
Speaker 2: each other. Stelle had something to say about a lot
Speaker 2: of things in the house, and then Drew had a
Speaker 2: lot to say about what a Stelle would say about
Speaker 2: all the things in the house. So some people just
Speaker 2: can't live together.
Speaker 1: What sort of advice are you going to give to
Speaker 1: people when they come up and say, I want to
Speaker 1: do a Big Brother? Have you got any advice for
Speaker 1: future housemates?
Speaker 2: Yeah? For future housemates, I would advise staying true to yourself,
Speaker 2: don't compromise on your integrity whatsoever, and play a smart
Speaker 2: game by doing that, Like, just make alliances, build friendships,
Speaker 2: create a solid crew of people who you can trust.
Speaker 2: Trust is the currency of the house, as is truth.
Speaker 2: And have fun. Have so much fun, don't get too
Speaker 2: caught up in your head.
Speaker 1: Yep, easy said than done, but I reckon that's definitely
Speaker 1: some good advice, you know, to celebrate twenty one years
Speaker 1: of you know, Big Brothers. Since Big Brothers been on television,
Speaker 1: I've been on the podcast using retel Colleen's top ten
Speaker 1: questions that she would ask housemates when they would leave
Speaker 1: the original Big Brother So I'm going to run through
Speaker 1: these questions with you. Are you prepared?
Speaker 2: I am?
Speaker 1: What did you miss the most while you're inside the
Speaker 1: Big Brother House?
Speaker 2: I missed my family support most whilst I was in
Speaker 2: the house.
Speaker 1: Who was your favorite person inside the house?
Speaker 2: My favorite person in the house would have to be Johnson.
Speaker 1: What was your Who was your least favorite person?
Speaker 2: Lara?
Speaker 1: Who had the most annoying habit inside the house?
Speaker 2: Oh, the most annoying habit? JC? He left his like
Speaker 2: beard trimmings all over the sink.
Speaker 1: So annoying, That's disgusting. Who was the funniest person in
Speaker 1: the house?
Speaker 2: Tim? Actually sorry, I'd take that back to Ras is
Speaker 2: the funniest in the house hands down, because he has
Speaker 2: a dark sense of humor and I just love it.
Speaker 1: I love it. What was or who was the laziest
