Speaker 1: Welcome back to TV Reload. This is my second bonus
Speaker 1: episode featuring a quick chat with I'm a celebrity second
Speaker 1: to Victi Pettiflow Bearringer. You might know this outspoken and
Speaker 1: fearless lady from her time on the Real Housewives of Melbourne.
Speaker 1: You probably saw her on Hell's Kitchen. However, you and
Speaker 1: her camp mates will never forget Petti Flow's thirst for life,
Speaker 1: competitive nature and ability to give you her opinion whether
Speaker 1: you ask for it or not. I got to have
Speaker 1: this amazing chat with Petti Flow today as she faced
Speaker 1: the Australian media, and hopefully you'll walk away with some
Speaker 1: tea spilt on the Real Housewives, some insights into the
Speaker 1: jungle and your heartful from a mother who loves her
Speaker 1: boys as she continues to prove to us all we
Speaker 1: can do anything if we try. I'd like to welcome
Speaker 1: to the show, Pettiflow Bearinger.
Speaker 2: I come across cocky, but I'm not at all.
Speaker 3: Please call me Petty Flo.
Speaker 2: I always draw on the good times rather than the
Speaker 2: bad times, and the cast member of the Real Housewives
Speaker 2: the malc I'm the two pot girl two seasons of Housewives.
Speaker 3: I'm not interested in your opinion, I just gave it
Speaker 3: to you.
Speaker 2: Second person to be evicted from Hell's Kitchen. However, the
Speaker 2: celebrity leaving the jungle tonight, second person to be evicted
Speaker 2: from I'm a Celebrity.
Speaker 3: So it looks like the tools are following me.
Speaker 1: So Pettiflow, congratulations on your time on the show. What
Speaker 1: a ride have you recovered from being petty flown out
Speaker 1: of the jungle?
Speaker 2: Recovered? I think that was the best send off. I mean,
Speaker 2: I go off making a big splash. How can you
Speaker 2: top that?
Speaker 1: I think, just like Australia, I didn't want you to leave.
Speaker 3: I know, neither did I. I was.
Speaker 2: I had so much more energy and so much more
Speaker 2: to give, Like I was like, I can do this
Speaker 2: for another few weeks. I mean I wasn't even starving
Speaker 2: in And how about that?
Speaker 1: That's pretty amazing. Now I have to ask, what was
Speaker 1: the most surprising thing about the I'm a Celebrity experience
Speaker 1: for you?
Speaker 2: The most surprising thing? So it was really what they
Speaker 2: say you're going to do. Like you were in an
Speaker 2: environment without walls and a roof. You were just on
Speaker 2: a bunk bed amongst the animals and the insects and
Speaker 2: on the bare ground with snakes crawling underneath your bed
Speaker 2: and my snibbling at your face at night or kissing
Speaker 2: you at night. I mean, we didn't even know what
Speaker 2: was crawling around us. All I know is I woke
Speaker 2: up in the morning and I had my whole face
Speaker 2: were bitten with little insect bites like I don't know
Speaker 2: if you noticed it on screen, but I remember when
Speaker 2: we did the ice water tank, I was like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, I can see all the bite marks on
Speaker 2: my face. It went from my face all the way
Speaker 2: down to my neck and my arms and my legs.
Speaker 2: It was like I had these tiny little spots on
Speaker 2: my face. So yes, it is very tough. And I
Speaker 2: really thought we were going to be in like a
Speaker 2: massive canvas Marquie and everything was filmed within inside. I
Speaker 2: was thinking we were in like a setup, like a
Speaker 2: studio kite kind of set up. How naive of me, right,
Speaker 2: But no, no, no, no, there was no roof, there
Speaker 2: was no walls. There was rain we got rained on.
Speaker 2: We had to pull blankets off our beds and roll
Speaker 2: it up when it rained.
Speaker 3: It was horrendous.
Speaker 1: It actually sounds horrendous. Now you're the second real housewife
Speaker 1: of Melbourne to enter the I'm a Celebrity universe. How
Speaker 1: do you rank your time in the jungle up against
Speaker 1: Jackie Gillies.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, firstly, I don't rank myself or compare myself
Speaker 2: with anyone.
Speaker 3: I'm petty flow. Okay, got it.
Speaker 2: We need to get that one straight. So I don't
Speaker 2: compare like I'm a different person. And look, I got
Speaker 2: bored up. I'm the two pot girl two seasons of Housewives,
Speaker 2: second person to be evicted from Hell's Kitchen, second person
Speaker 2: to be evicted from I'm a Celebrity, So it looks
Speaker 2: like the twos are following me. So I think Jackie
Speaker 2: did a little bit better than me. But it's what
Speaker 2: quality time you had with the people and what friendships
Speaker 2: you make and how amazing your time in the jungle is.
Speaker 2: That's the most important, not on who impressed the audience.
Speaker 2: It's about what you took away as a person in
Speaker 2: your heart and how you would use that to continue
Speaker 2: with these friendships and whatnot.
Speaker 3: So it's not a competition.
Speaker 2: To drinks is a max And I wasn't drunk that
Speaker 2: you weren't drinks.
Speaker 3: Listen, guys, if.
Speaker 2: You got I gotta lie I'm getting the hell out
Speaker 2: of you.
Speaker 3: I'm not taking lies.
Speaker 2: Okay, I can take anything but.
Speaker 3: Line. You're all line. No, you don't lie. No, because
Speaker 3: I don't lie.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you, I'm not interested lies.
Speaker 3: I'm not interested in bullshit.
Speaker 1: What do you think Australia got to see a petty
Speaker 1: flow that was different in I'm a sobrit to what
Speaker 1: they had seen on the Real Housewives of Melbourne.
Speaker 2: Well, on Housewives, it's all about the drama we need
Speaker 2: to do. We needed to throw people in the pool,
Speaker 2: pull their wigs out, chuckbo a wine on their faces
Speaker 2: and create drama. And that's why people watched the show.
Speaker 2: They didn't watch that show to watch people giving each
Speaker 2: other hugs and you know, support and love and all that,
Speaker 2: because that was not the show. So with this show,
Speaker 2: it's completely different. You have the tough environment, but you
Speaker 2: have a lot of love and support and so there's
Speaker 2: two types of challenges in all of those shows. I
Speaker 2: cooking was not a very good thing that I did
Speaker 2: very well, hence the reason I was boarded out, even
Speaker 2: though at the time I didn't think I did such
Speaker 2: a bad job.
Speaker 3: I thought someone else sucked more.
Speaker 2: But I got boarded out of Hell's Kitchen and I
Speaker 2: told Marco Pierre White that I didn't agree with his decision,
Speaker 2: but nonetheless it didn't stop me knowing deep down that I.
Speaker 3: Sucked with cooking.
Speaker 2: So I was going to go out eventually, but probably
Speaker 2: not number two. So the next time I do a show,
Speaker 2: I hope it would be a little bit more. I'll
Speaker 2: get somewhere further than number two.
Speaker 1: I mean, well, they keep picking you, so you know,
Speaker 1: maybe we will eventually get to see you get past
Speaker 1: this number two issue.
Speaker 2: I know I want to And you know, do you
Speaker 2: want to see the housewife pasona or do you want
Speaker 2: to see the Petty Flow in the Jungle persona? Which
Speaker 2: one do you prefer? And which one do you like more?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 1: I guess at the end of the day, Australia, like myself,
Speaker 1: we just want to see the real you. So have
Speaker 1: you been the real you on any of these shows
Speaker 1: you've done so far?
Speaker 2: Well, the real Absolutely, the real Petty Flow was doing
Speaker 2: a bloody good job on Householives and creating all the
Speaker 2: drama that needed to be created. So absolutely I was
Speaker 2: doing a brilliant job with Hell's Kitchen. I was being
Speaker 2: myself I was like, yeah, I can't cook, but that
Speaker 2: don't mean to say I'm going to, you know, accept
Speaker 2: that I need to go so early because I didn't
Speaker 2: suck so bad. I thought someone else did, so I
Speaker 2: was quite vocal about that. So that's been real, that's
Speaker 2: been me. And then of course with the arm of celebrity, Well,
Speaker 2: that was just s potluck, wasn't it.
Speaker 3: That was like a lottery.
Speaker 2: You either counted correct or you counted incorrect, and you know,
Speaker 2: it was anyone could go at any time. It's pretty fair. Really,
Speaker 2: it's just my luck. And I'm like, you know what,
Speaker 2: I hated being ejected so quickly. I like the ejection part.
Speaker 2: I just didn't like the going out so quickly. You know,
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, it is. It is
Speaker 2: the way it is. The cookie crumbled, as they say, he's.
Speaker 1: Fighting them off with a big stick. At the moment,
Speaker 1: he has Abby's heart in one hand and Petti flour
Speaker 1: is moving in for the kill in the other hand.
Speaker 1: And this could not be juicier. So you also came
Speaker 1: out after the show talking about Ash Williams and saying
Speaker 1: that he started a fake love triangle in the show
Speaker 1: show Is that still how you feel.
Speaker 2: Look, I mean, Ash is an amazing person. Okay, let
Speaker 2: me tell you that I have a lot of respect
Speaker 2: for the guy. I was a little bit cheesed off
Speaker 2: after watching the show the night before, and it was
Speaker 2: pretty raw because I was like.
Speaker 3: You, dirty dog.
Speaker 2: You went out there and you had one conversation with
Speaker 2: me and then you told it to Grant a different way.
Speaker 2: And I felt a little bit disrespected for the fact
Speaker 2: that my reputation is online, because you know, people just
Speaker 2: jump out there and they're just horning on you, call
Speaker 2: you an old bag, and you know, what are you
Speaker 2: trying to do?
Speaker 3: And you know, there's Abby and there's you.
Speaker 2: So I was a little bit you know, it was
Speaker 2: a bit raw. And I also because I love him
Speaker 2: so much as a friend, I felt like, why did
Speaker 2: you say that? But all I know is he did
Speaker 2: not mean anything. He was not doing it maliciously to
Speaker 2: hurt me or damage me.
Speaker 3: He was just you know, playing I think, you know,
Speaker 3: and that's what it was.
Speaker 2: And I think I was just a little bit bummed
Speaker 2: about how it came across. But there was no love
Speaker 2: triangle as far as I was concerned. I'm that person
Speaker 2: who asks a lot of questions, and I just asked him, if.
Speaker 3: I was to give you the green light, would you
Speaker 3: go for me.
Speaker 2: The part where if I was that if meant if
Speaker 2: I was was lost with Ash and he when he
Speaker 2: said it to Grant, he lost that part and that
Speaker 2: was a difference, and so I was a bit ticked
Speaker 2: off about that. But having looked back and knowing the Ash,
Speaker 2: I know he's actually a really good guy. And I
Speaker 2: can't say, you know anything. You know, he was just
Speaker 2: having a bit of fun and he's just a little
Speaker 2: bit of TV, and you know, I don't think he's
Speaker 2: a bad guy at all.
Speaker 1: Do you think that boys have a lot to answer
Speaker 1: for when it comes to telling girls the truth these days?
Speaker 1: I mean quite often you hear these stories of them
Speaker 1: not wanting to hurt their feelings, but then they kind
Speaker 1: of get led on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think it's important to be brutally honest.
Speaker 2: I know it's very hard for people to take it,
Speaker 2: but it's better to be hurt in the first instance
Speaker 2: than being dragged along and then hurt, because then you're
Speaker 2: not only hurt by this person, but you're angry of
Speaker 2: the way they treated you and how they strung you along.
Speaker 2: So I think it's very important for people to be
Speaker 2: very honest upfront. And I don't think Ash was not
Speaker 2: being honest because you didn't get to say this. But
Speaker 2: Ash told me in front of Paulini that I'm the
Speaker 2: one he's keen on. I said, do you like Abby?
Speaker 2: And he's like, no, I'm keen on you. Pettifil. Now,
Speaker 2: I don't know whether Ash was having a play or
Speaker 2: whether he really meant it. I don't know what he
Speaker 2: was thinking. I can only tell you what the words
Speaker 2: that was used. And this is why you'd see me
Speaker 2: throughout going. Are you a man of your word? Do
Speaker 2: you talk from two sides of your mouth? Because you
Speaker 2: tell me one thing and then you're acting differently with Abby.
Speaker 3: You seem to like her? Do you like her?
Speaker 2: And I kept saying, you know, are you a man
Speaker 2: of your word? And that's the reason no one would
Speaker 2: understand why I was saying that. But what I meant
Speaker 2: was you told me you like me, but you seem
Speaker 2: to hang out with Abby and because no, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: we're just friends, were good, you know. So look, I
Speaker 2: don't think he meant anything bad. I think to answer
Speaker 2: your question, I think guys and girls both very equal. Now,
Speaker 2: remember we should be very honest with our feelings. If
Speaker 2: you don't feel for someone, just tell them and look,
Speaker 2: I'm not ready for a relationship. It's very clear on
Speaker 2: the show. I had that discussion with Jess. That was
Speaker 2: a real discussion. That was no play, that was not
Speaker 2: having fun. That was a real honest discussion where I said,
Speaker 2: I'm not ready, I'm not keen, and I don't have
Speaker 2: the space and the time for a guy in my life.
Speaker 2: It hasn't worked out for me, and I like and
Speaker 2: I'm enjoying my freedom, my own schedule. I'm enjoying doing
Speaker 2: stuff with my boys. They're all adults, we have fun.
Speaker 2: Why would I want to complicate myself. I don't have space.
Speaker 2: So no, I mean you had you had to be fantastic.
Speaker 1: So this season was actually they're quite different, and the
Speaker 1: process of elimination was actually quite fair. But let's just
Speaker 1: say there was a nominations process. Can you say who
Speaker 1: you would give one point to save and then one
Speaker 1: point to evict.
Speaker 2: That's a tough one and it's very difficult to answer
Speaker 2: that because I if I, if I picked the person
Speaker 2: I'm most connected with, that would be Pauliny because we
Speaker 2: became like super close friends and we keep in touch,
Speaker 2: and I think we'll always keep in touch. And you know,
Speaker 2: you always gravitate to somebody and then you connect.
Speaker 3: We connected.
Speaker 2: Having said that, I connected with a lot of people
Speaker 2: for different reasons.
Speaker 3: So it's it's very.
Speaker 2: Difficult for me to answer that. And you know, I
Speaker 2: know you're a naughty Boyfrid asking me that question, and
Speaker 2: I got to give you the boring answer this time.
Speaker 2: If it was a Housewives that I've given you an answer.
Speaker 2: But with these guys, they're all amazing, Like you know,
Speaker 2: everyone's come out saying everyone was amazing. They were they
Speaker 2: were great human beings. We had so much fun. Did
Speaker 2: you see their might of singing and dancing.
Speaker 1: It's literally the best season of I'm a Celebrity that
Speaker 1: I've seen.
Speaker 2: I actually say that for sure. Are you just seeing
Speaker 2: that because you're talking to me like seriously, honestly.
Speaker 1: I think maybe it's because it was filmed here in Australia,
Speaker 1: but you can really see that this is the most
Speaker 1: genuine connection between all the camp mates we've seen yet,
Speaker 1: and I think that really comes across and maybe after
Speaker 1: COVID this is exactly what we wanted.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's amazing. I think it was a really great
Speaker 3: season two. Personally, I want.
Speaker 1: To finish on a high note. Your son tweeted last
Speaker 1: night and this was amazing. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: saw it, but he tweeted and said, I'm super proud
Speaker 1: of you, mum. We told you not to give up
Speaker 1: your fight to the bitter end, and you did exactly that.
Speaker 1: Your boys are filled with pride. We have one hell
Speaker 1: of a boss mum and can't wait to see what
Speaker 1: Australia gets to see next. What do you think when
Speaker 1: you read something like that from one of your boys.
Speaker 2: My sons are my absolute pride and enjoy actually lived
Speaker 2: all my life for them. Every time, every step I've
Speaker 2: taken is for my sons, every choice I made is
Speaker 2: for my sons. And they show so much gratitude by
Speaker 2: their little things like.
Speaker 3: What they say and do every day.
Speaker 2: And I'm so blessed because they are insanely just the best,
Speaker 2: Like they are really good kids. They've done me so proud.
Speaker 2: And yes, having that reading that, like you, I was
Speaker 2: very emotional too. Yeah, I'm a very lucky woman. I'm
Speaker 2: a lucky mom. I'm a lucky person and I feel
Speaker 2: very fortunate, very blessed, and I'm so happy Australia has
Speaker 2: embrace me, because we all want to be loved and
Speaker 2: acknowledged and embraced. And just the fact that Australia's embraced me,
Speaker 2: and to all the people who have done what they've
Speaker 2: done to put me, you know, into this position.
Speaker 3: Without them, I wouldn't be here.
Speaker 2: And so I'm so thankful, and especially to the producers
Speaker 2: on Housewives, because they're the ones who saw that I
Speaker 2: had something to offer and I didn't see it myself.
Speaker 2: So I'm so thankful for that.
Speaker 1: Do you have any advice for the new housewives? They're
Speaker 1: just about to start filming a new series of the
Speaker 1: Real Housewives of Melbourne. What advice do you have for them?
Speaker 2: My advice is, no one's your friends going there and
Speaker 2: just on the stage. Just rip things to shred. Grab
Speaker 2: every opportunity of your time there because you don't know
Speaker 2: when you know you're going to have your backstabbed.
Speaker 1: Who should they look out for the most like? Who
Speaker 1: should they be scared of?
Speaker 3: Everybody?
Speaker 2: People think Gina is a scary person, But Gina and
Speaker 2: I get along the best because she knows to separate
Speaker 2: the show from who she is, just like I do.
Speaker 2: Like I'm a different person outside of the show than
Speaker 2: on the show.
Speaker 3: Understand that and we get it.
Speaker 2: We don't take any animosity or bad blood from the
Speaker 2: show out into the real world, so we can stare friends.
Speaker 2: I have respect for her and she has a respect
Speaker 2: for me. We talk on the phone about, you know,
Speaker 2: all sorts of things outside of just housewives, and we
Speaker 2: respect each other. I'm good friends with Gamble because she's
Speaker 2: an absolute, fating, amazing chick. And I also, you know still,
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously I keep in touch or chat with,
Speaker 2: you know, every now and then.
Speaker 3: With Libya and Susie.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, I don't think, you know, I
Speaker 2: don't have enemies. That's how I look at it, and
Speaker 2: I don't want to feel like there are enemies in
Speaker 2: my life.
Speaker 3: I'm good.
Speaker 2: I try to do the right thing, l every one,
Speaker 2: because that's a show. I don't take things personally.
Speaker 1: You know what I like in that is that you
Speaker 1: say that you're good. You know, I'm good. That's such
Speaker 1: a good way to leave it. Thanks so much, Pettiflour
Speaker 1: for being so generous with your time today. We loved
Speaker 1: watching you on the show. And yeah, behalf of Australia.
Speaker 1: Everyone loved watching you. Good luck with whatever happens next,
Speaker 1: and hopefully we'll see you soon.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much. I really appreciate that. It is
Speaker 2: such a pleasure talking to you. You're looking hard and
Speaker 2: it was so easy to talk to you.
