1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda's.

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 2: Must be a bit weird for our next guest to

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:08,879
Speaker 2: be in this very room because Bryce used to work

4
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,039
Speaker 2: here with us for nine months in this very studio.

5
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 2: Bryce and Melissa from Married at First Sight? Who knew

6
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 2: Bryce when you last left this room you'd come back

7
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 2: as a groom on Married at First Sight?

8
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 1: Hello with a new wife morning. How the tables can

9
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: turn on the world, can't that?

10
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 3: When we packed you off with the Backman turner overdrive

11
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 3: collection and all your belongings.

12
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 2: On a stick on the end of a stick with it.

13
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 3: A little radio station in Gippsland has said, we said,

14
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 3: well good luck, you'll do well, and.

15
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 1: He literally said walk down Barfeld Road, take the hum

16
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 1: and then end up in Gippsland. And that's what happened

17
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: to me.

18
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 2: That's what happened. Well, let's get down to it, because

19
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: we know you as a good guy. The Bryce that

20
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 2: we see on Married at First Sight and Jonesy's been

21
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 2: watching it and feeding me the info. But the Bryce

22
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: I see written about is the most the most hated

23
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 2: groom in the history. What's happened?

24
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a bit unfortunate. I don't know how I

25
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: can stay at matt But I think the good thing

26
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 1: is that, look, we met years ago and worked together,

27
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: and I guess the two of you know the real Bryce.

28
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: My LISTA knows the real Bryce. Unfortunately, I guess we

29
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: haven't got enough hours in the day to see our

30
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: full relationship play on TV. That's probably the best way

31
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 1: of describing it, because it was a rollercoaster, especially in

32
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: the start. I'd said some pretty dumb stuff, which I

33
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: regret saying now, But at the same time too, we

34
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: had a lot of good times between us, I think

35
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: from my point of view, and look here we are.

36
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 3: There's so many questions that the big thing seems to

37
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 3: be with Jake and Rebecca. This apology, it's over what

38
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 3: I see seems to be like a storm in a teacup.

39
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 3: Why don't you to say, mate, I'm sorry, let's just

40
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 3: move on, or are they chopping the actual apology out.

41
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: I wish I could have said that easily. I wish

42
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: I could off. Yeah, I just couldn't.

43
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: Because this is the thing is that you're a good guy,

44
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 2: but it sounds like there's parts of your nature that's

45
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 2: still get the better of you.

46
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: I think that environment emotions are very heightened, and you've

47
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: got people in one ey saying this, your mates that

48
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 1: are other participants on the experiment saying this to you

49
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 1: as well. So I think it's a real head battle

50
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: doing something like married at first sight and not saying

51
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: it's a bad thing to do. I'm a pretty mentally

52
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 1: strong guy, but I think for me it was a

53
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: very unique experience having this in one this in the

54
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: other ear and trying to process it up here like

55
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: my qaitda the highest going down the country. I think

56
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: we've all worked that out now. But I'm a pretty

57
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: street smart guy, and I think it kind of just

58
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: there was a bit of a battle going on upsetts

59
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: for me during the experiment.

60
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 2: Can ash you this, Melissa? Audiences have been torn watching you.

61
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 2: Some of say you've been trapped, other say you're too

62
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 2: scared to stand up to Bryce. How have you felt

63
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: watching the depiction of your relationship and people's opinion on it.

64
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 4: I've not been watching. I've taken a step back from

65
00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 4: actually reliving that experience again. But from everything that I've heard, yeah,

66
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 4: it probably does come across that I don't speak up enough,

67
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 4: and it's true because it's just not in my nature.

68
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 4: It wasn't that I was frightened or scared of Bryce,

69
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 4: but I just didn't like having any type of conflict.

70
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 4: Looking back now, yeah, I probably should have stepped up

71
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 4: a bit more and challenged him a little bit because

72
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 4: he is very stubborn and I wouldn't I wouldn't change anything,

73
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 4: but it's just my that's just who I am. So

74
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 4: there was nothing, There was no concern. I didn't feel

75
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 4: like I needed to be removed from that environment of

76
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 4: being with Bryce. It was the environment of the group.

77
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 4: That group dynamic was very toxic and there's just so

78
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 4: much that happens that, as Bryce said, is doesn't get

79
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 4: put to air and it all has an effect.

80
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 2: So just the two of you, you feel that you

81
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 2: have a healthy relationship.

82
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we kept saying it throughout the show,

83
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: and we even saw it last night, for example, saying

84
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: we're going to ditch a boys and the Girls night.

85
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,119
Speaker 1: Now list did want to go nuts, and I said,

86
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: by all means you go have fun. I'll see here

87
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: by myself. But I think correct me if I'm wrong.

88
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: When you saw the state I was in after the

89
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: night before, and I wasn't a good place like I

90
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: was just Yeah, no, I won't go further into it,

91
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: but I was just like, you know, I'm just gonna

92
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: to night to myself and will chill out. And they

93
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: were the best times. Literally. People keep saying, oh, we're

94
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: segregating ourselves from the rest of the experiment, But when

95
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: you're not getting along in a group dynamic with other people,

96
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: and the sole focus to go onto the show was

97
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: to meet someone, you're concentrated what you came there for.

98
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: So that was my mentality in the end. You know,

99
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: I came here to meet Melissa, to get to know her.

100
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to put all my time and effort into that.

101
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 3: Because having known you and we work together and here

102
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 3: for nine months, you're a very pragmatic person. And you

103
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 3: saw the other Maritive first Sight contestants come through here

104
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 3: when we interview them. Are you playing this like a game?

105
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 4: Like?

106
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 3: Is it a game to you? Sometimes there was a

107
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 3: bit where you said I didn't come here to make friends,

108
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 3: which is something that they say on Survivor and every

109
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 3: other of those reality shows. Is that how you're treating this?

110
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: No, not at all. I took it very serious and

111
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: we made a packed literally from the wedding night, saying

112
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: if there was at any stage, weekend, weeknight, midnight, whatever

113
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: it was that you thought we couldn't continue on outside

114
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: the experiment, we'll both agree to call it quits. And

115
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: we definitely came clear on that.

116
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 3: So when the leave stay thing came up, yes, that

117
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 3: was because I sort of looked at that and I

118
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 3: went yeah, and Melissa's I was thinking more.

119
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 2: Shaking her head.

120
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 3: I can't process that.

121
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 4: Well, how do you process that?

122
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 2: Melissa?

123
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 4: You could tell on the couch it was one hundred

124
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 4: percent genuine my reaction. I was absolutely find work, couldn't

125
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 4: not at all, and he's just a knucklehead sometimes honestly

126
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 4: it's true. But I could see what he was trying

127
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 4: to do. So what was happening behind the scenes what

128
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 4: doesn't get aired. There was obviously things happening with other

129
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 4: girls in the experiment that I just wasn't coping with,

130
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 4: and things that you know, people, things were being said

131
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 4: that I don't consider to be a joke. So Bryce

132
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 4: was trying to make a statement. It was a poor

133
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 4: statement to make, but I understood when explained to me

134
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 4: what he was trying to do, and look fifty to fifty,

135
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 4: I appreciated it, and also, yeah, I felt very embarrassed

136
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 4: in that moment, But you're living your learn Would you.

137
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 2: Do it again? Take take the fact that you meet

138
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 2: each other out of this. If you could meet each

139
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: other at a barbecue, would you still sign up for

140
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 2: married at first sight?

141
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: It's a tough one and I've been asking so many

142
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: times men because people are like, should I go for

143
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: it now? I would never encourage a certain way to

144
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,679
Speaker 1: go Jonesy ask you, Jones, you did ask me. Actually,

145
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: sorry no vasically for what I've got out of the experiment.

146
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: I got out of the experiment what I wanted to get,

147
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: which was to meet someone and continue on. There's no

148
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: secred about that. In terms of the other stuff, I'd

149
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: run them more.

150
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 2: A new too, Melissa. How about you?

151
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 4: Well, Bryce said he wouldn't approach me in a bar

152
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 4: so we'd have no hope the barbecue, So surely to

153
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 4: go back or married it first time?

154
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 3: Well, look, it's great to see you and meet you

155
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 3: Melissa in flash Bryce. It's you know, as I said,

156
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 3: I can vouch you for you in a professional and

157
