0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:40.720
<v Speaker 1>to unpack today. I also want to say a special

0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:43.320
<v Speaker 1>thank you to all the messages throughout the series. I

0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:46.519
<v Speaker 1>felt really supported during the Trader exit interviews by a

0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:48.960
<v Speaker 1>lot of you while I took a deeper dive into

0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:51.800
<v Speaker 1>this new show, which might not have been the highest

0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:55.880
<v Speaker 1>rating series of the year, but something I quite enjoyed. Alex, however,

0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:58.840
<v Speaker 1>really made a lot of bold moves throughout the series.

0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:02.279
<v Speaker 1>The South Australians social media coordinator won the Channel ten

0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:06.160
<v Speaker 1>series taking home a cool two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:10.600
<v Speaker 1>She defeated Queensland business coach Craig Carr, out smarting him

0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:13.959
<v Speaker 1>in a final showdown that was highly entertaining and probably

0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:16.400
<v Speaker 1>one of the most dramatic moments of twenty twenty two.

0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:19.800
<v Speaker 1>On Free to Wear. We will talk about that final moment.

0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:24.200
<v Speaker 1>Did the friendship between Alex and Craig survive, whether Alex

0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:27.200
<v Speaker 1>has been reading the comments on social media, how she

0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:30.200
<v Speaker 1>kept the result a secret from her friends and family,

0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:34.399
<v Speaker 1>plus how she plans to spend the cold hard cash. However,

0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:38.240
<v Speaker 1>let's get started with today's guest. I'd like to welcome Alex,

0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:40.800
<v Speaker 1>the winner of The Traders, to TV Reload.

0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:45.560
<v Speaker 2>It definitely broke Maha as much as it broke his.

0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:47.480
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, it was intense.

0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:51.040
<v Speaker 1>Previously on The Traders.

0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:53.280
<v Speaker 3>You can kind of get away with more than what

0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:54.080
<v Speaker 3>you think you could.

0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:56.240
<v Speaker 1>A trader has to go with can I trust you

0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:56.960
<v Speaker 1>one hundred percent?

0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:00.800
<v Speaker 3>Look, you know, I think it was quite almost a

0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:02.080
<v Speaker 3>necessary evil.

0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:05.400
<v Speaker 1>Then Alex received a secret invitation.

0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:08.240
<v Speaker 3>There's that famous saying keep your friends close, but your

0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:09.080
<v Speaker 3>enemies closer.

0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Two traders versus too faithful. I want to win like

0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:15.480
<v Speaker 1>nothing else.

0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:19.160
<v Speaker 2>They have a lot of masterminds behind the show, so

0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:22.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure whatever they will do next will be magnificent

0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:23.960
<v Speaker 2>and better than the first season.

0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:27.919
<v Speaker 1>Hi, Alex, congratulations on winning the Traders.

0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:30.640
<v Speaker 3>Hello, and thank you very much.

0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:32.560
<v Speaker 1>For people who are listening to this at home, I

0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:35.440
<v Speaker 1>sound that crazy saying Hi Alex, congratulations and winning the

0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Traders because I didn't press record and we're doing it

0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:40.640
<v Speaker 1>again for the second time, so I felt very disingenuous,

0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:43.040
<v Speaker 1>but I am very excited for you for winning.

0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:46.040
<v Speaker 3>Oh, thank you so much. Yeah, it's pretty cool.

0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:50.000
<v Speaker 1>What about that look from Craig in the finale when

0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:52.440
<v Speaker 1>you revealed that you were a trader and had in

0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:54.760
<v Speaker 1>fact tricked him out of that money. That is a

0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:55.799
<v Speaker 1>television moment.

0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:00.959
<v Speaker 2>Yes, the television moment if I've ever seen one. Yeah,

0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:05.360
<v Speaker 2>it definitely broke my heart as much as it broke his. So, yeah,

0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:06.280
<v Speaker 2>it was intense.

0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Is that intensity of what we saw on TV and

0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:11.560
<v Speaker 1>the finale? Is that what it was in the room?

0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:13.800
<v Speaker 1>Was it more than that or was it less than that?

0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.120
<v Speaker 1>Or you have to tell me what was it like

0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:17.640
<v Speaker 1>to be in that room.

0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:21.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I think the intensity definitely came through the screen.

0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:24.840
<v Speaker 2>It was probably more intense in real life. But yeah,

0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:29.359
<v Speaker 2>that moment was just heartbreaking really and just very scary

0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:30.120
<v Speaker 2>as well.

0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:33.480
<v Speaker 1>Have you had conversations with him now offline, like where

0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:36.680
<v Speaker 1>has the friendship gone to this point? Yeah?

0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:38.720
<v Speaker 2>I think you know, obviously it's hard for us to

0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:41.800
<v Speaker 2>catch up because we live in different states, but you know,

0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:44.200
<v Speaker 2>we're all one big, happy family here, and I think

0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:46.200
<v Speaker 2>that we all understand that at the end of the day,

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:49.560
<v Speaker 2>it is a game and only one person could win.

0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Well, this is an interesting question to ask because I'm

0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:54.440
<v Speaker 1>wanting to know your traits, you know, the traits of

0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:56.920
<v Speaker 1>a trader. Did you think when you applied for this

0:03:57.040 --> 0:04:01.080
<v Speaker 1>show that you had what it takes? Slight sheet and steel,

0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:04.640
<v Speaker 1>but you know, cunningly manipulate people. I don't know what's

0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:07.640
<v Speaker 1>the best way to describe this without reading it sound offensive.

0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think that initially, you know, I didn't know

0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 2>whether I was a very good liar. I think to

0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:16.640
<v Speaker 2>my friends and family, they all can tell when I'm lying.

0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:19.839
<v Speaker 2>So I think to people that you've just met, you

0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.960
<v Speaker 2>really build a relationship and rapport and you can kind

0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:24.960
<v Speaker 2>of get away with more than what you think you

0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:26.960
<v Speaker 2>could because these people have only known.

0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:28.080
<v Speaker 3>You for a couple of weeks.

0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:31.560
<v Speaker 2>So I think anyone in my situation probably would have

0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:35.599
<v Speaker 2>surprised themselves, and I definitely surprised myself. But I think

0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:38.200
<v Speaker 2>that I was able to compartmentalize and kind of put

0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:40.599
<v Speaker 2>that trade a hat on as a job role really,

0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:42.600
<v Speaker 2>so it was all business decisions.

0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Although you know, it lent me to have a discussion

0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:48.880
<v Speaker 1>with my partner, you know, we're a same sex relationship,

0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:51.559
<v Speaker 1>and it gave us pause for thought. So we're thinking,

0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:53.400
<v Speaker 1>do you think that queer people are good at this

0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:56.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of competition, because at some point we've all led

0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:58.960
<v Speaker 1>a bit of a double life with you know, coming

0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:01.440
<v Speaker 1>to terms with our sexual real and then having to

0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:04.400
<v Speaker 1>come to terms with that and tell other people that

0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:05.719
<v Speaker 1>we are same sex attracted.

0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:07.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's a really good point.

0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:11.360
<v Speaker 2>I think also, like my coming out story is quite

0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:14.880
<v Speaker 2>kind of quite quite recent, so I think that maybe

0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:18.240
<v Speaker 2>it does lend itself to being able to hide parts

0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:21.080
<v Speaker 2>of yourself and then only letting in the ones that

0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:23.240
<v Speaker 2>really are there for the long run.

0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:25.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, was it hard to be able to keep

0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:27.279
<v Speaker 1>this a secret? I mean, obviously you've won the show

0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:29.640
<v Speaker 1>because this was filmed a little while ago. You know,

0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:31.839
<v Speaker 1>did were you given any help on how to keep

0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:32.720
<v Speaker 1>this under your hat.

0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:36.560
<v Speaker 3>Look, I just kind of had to pretend nothing ever happened,

0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:40.560
<v Speaker 3>which from my family and friends, they're all very kluey

0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:43.800
<v Speaker 3>and they you know, they drive really hard to get

0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:44.760
<v Speaker 3>secrets out of you.

0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:46.520
<v Speaker 2>But you know, at the end of the day, I

0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:49.520
<v Speaker 2>kept that secret down to the last tooth and nail,

0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:50.120
<v Speaker 2>and when they.

0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:53.000
<v Speaker 3>All found out, it was one of the best moments

0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:53.719
<v Speaker 3>of my life.

0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:57.040
<v Speaker 1>Really, is there a video of your friend? There is that?

0:05:57.120 --> 0:06:00.400
<v Speaker 2>There is a video, And I am completely swallow by

0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:02.560
<v Speaker 2>all of my friends and family, Like, you can't even

0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:05.800
<v Speaker 2>see me. My poor like five month old puppy only

0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:07.760
<v Speaker 2>just made it out of the firing line before I

0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:09.039
<v Speaker 2>run a part on top of me.

0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:11.720
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, it's a great moment.

0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:14.839
<v Speaker 1>Well, two Traders and two Faithfuls was a pretty even,

0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:17.479
<v Speaker 1>you know, even stakes for the finale. Do you think

0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:20.479
<v Speaker 1>that it's luck or why do you think that that

0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:22.760
<v Speaker 1>was the way that the show came down? Yeah?

0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:25.120
<v Speaker 2>I think you know, it was all based off of

0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:28.119
<v Speaker 2>all of our own decisions within that game, and whether

0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:30.680
<v Speaker 2>it was the rat or on one. Obviously the universe

0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:32.839
<v Speaker 2>was like, oh yeah, let's have a moment for the

0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:37.120
<v Speaker 2>gays and the days and the girls. So yeah, two Traders,

0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:40.719
<v Speaker 2>two female Traders in the house was a great moment there.

0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:43.120
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know what's interesting. And I wasn't sure if

0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:44.160
<v Speaker 1>I was going to bring this up with you, but

0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 1>we're doing it. I was pretty dark on you for

0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:48.680
<v Speaker 1>getting rid of the original Traders, so I went on

0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:51.080
<v Speaker 1>a bit of a journey with you. I was very

0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:54.720
<v Speaker 1>happy for you to win, and as it happened, I

0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:57.080
<v Speaker 1>was like, yes, this is what it should be. But

0:06:57.720 --> 0:06:59.400
<v Speaker 1>was that just a heart Was that a really hard

0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:02.400
<v Speaker 1>decision to get rid of those original Traders or was

0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:03.560
<v Speaker 1>it a necessary evil?

0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:07.520
<v Speaker 3>Look? You know, I think it was quite almost a

0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:08.760
<v Speaker 3>necessary evil.

0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:12.040
<v Speaker 2>Like when I first got inducted, they did say that

0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:15.280
<v Speaker 2>they had just gotten rid of the other two Traders,

0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:17.200
<v Speaker 2>and so I thought, well, if it can happen to them,

0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:17.960
<v Speaker 2>it can happen to me.

0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:19.239
<v Speaker 3>Don't be silly, Alex.

0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:22.520
<v Speaker 2>And also maybe a little bit of revenge for murdering

0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:24.200
<v Speaker 2>all of my friends in the night, you know.

0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:26.679
<v Speaker 1>But I think there's the nature of the show because

0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:30.360
<v Speaker 1>we're introduced to these original four and then to see them,

0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:33.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, be chopped away. You know, it was brutal television.

0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:35.680
<v Speaker 1>It kind of had to be that way, and I

0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:37.520
<v Speaker 1>guess you can look at it as you were offering

0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:39.560
<v Speaker 1>some revenge to the friends of yours that had already

0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:44.360
<v Speaker 1>departed the competition. Yeah, I think Craig made a few

0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:46.760
<v Speaker 1>mistakes in that last hurdle. What do you think the

0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:48.360
<v Speaker 1>Craig could have done a little bit differently?

0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:51.800
<v Speaker 2>I think that you know, throughout the game, it's quite

0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:55.640
<v Speaker 2>hard to separate your head from your heart, and that

0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:58.320
<v Speaker 2>comes just with your personality and who you are.

0:07:58.480 --> 0:07:59.520
<v Speaker 3>And I respect that.

0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:02.080
<v Speaker 2>You know, he kept his integrity the whole way through

0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:04.640
<v Speaker 2>and thought with his heart. But at the end of

0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:07.040
<v Speaker 2>the day, you know this is a mind game and

0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:10.000
<v Speaker 2>you do have to be able to separate both to

0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:14.440
<v Speaker 2>I guess eventually win or use that to your advantage.

0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:17.360
<v Speaker 1>Kate played a great game too. Do you think that

0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:20.120
<v Speaker 1>it was skill or luck that you beat her in

0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:20.480
<v Speaker 1>the end?

0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:26.400
<v Speaker 2>Look, Kate is one of the best board game players

0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:28.960
<v Speaker 2>that I probably have ever met in my life. I

0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:31.600
<v Speaker 2>think that if roles were reversed, she would have beat

0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:34.360
<v Speaker 2>me at my own game. But I do think that

0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:37.920
<v Speaker 2>because in the early days I built very very strong

0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:40.960
<v Speaker 2>relationships with everyone. That is kind of what got me

0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:43.600
<v Speaker 2>through and that skill of me being a people kind

0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:46.600
<v Speaker 2>of person was how it came to be.

0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:49.160
<v Speaker 1>But did you pick Kate because you felt like she

0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:51.280
<v Speaker 1>could She was a contestant you could beat. I mean,

0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:54.200
<v Speaker 1>what was the factors into you know, choosing the next trader?

0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:56.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Look, I mean there's that famous saying keep your

0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:58.560
<v Speaker 2>friends close, but your enemy's closer.

0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:01.040
<v Speaker 3>And at that point in time as trader, Kate was

0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:03.599
<v Speaker 3>one of my biggest enemies.

0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:06.240
<v Speaker 2>Because she was so on the hunting line and I

0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:07.920
<v Speaker 2>was scared of her, so I thought, you know, if

0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:09.400
<v Speaker 2>you can't beat them, join her man.

0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:11.440
<v Speaker 3>She was the best choice. Ever.

0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:14.439
<v Speaker 1>Everyone wants to know. This is the most intrusive question,

0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:17.200
<v Speaker 1>only appropriate for when interviewing someone who's just won a

0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:19.120
<v Speaker 1>reality show. But what are you going to do with

0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:21.000
<v Speaker 1>the money? Did you read on Twitter last night? I

0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:24.200
<v Speaker 1>don't know if you saw this is so funny. Someone wrote, well,

0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:26.520
<v Speaker 1>I guess we're going to now have to watch Alex

0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 1>go on overseas holidays and buy handbags now, And I

0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:33.360
<v Speaker 1>was like, it's like, it's the weirdest thing I've ever

0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:36.320
<v Speaker 1>heard Anyone tweet like, oh, yes.

0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:37.760
<v Speaker 3>Much gets set on the internet.

0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:40.319
<v Speaker 2>But the truth of it is, it's all going to

0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:43.839
<v Speaker 2>go to Tiff and my future life together really, so

0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:45.640
<v Speaker 2>they might not see much.

0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:46.800
<v Speaker 3>Because it's all a process.

0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:49.400
<v Speaker 2>She obviously, you know, has to propose to me or

0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:52.400
<v Speaker 2>have a wedding, put a deposit down for a house

0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:55.200
<v Speaker 2>in maybe two years time, and then settle down and

0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:57.760
<v Speaker 2>have some kids, which would be great. So it's really

0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:00.600
<v Speaker 2>like a lifelong progression that you'll see the money.

0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:01.000
<v Speaker 3>Be spent on.

0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Also, no handbags and overseas holidays gratuitous and handbags. I

0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:07.560
<v Speaker 1>was just like, did you read that tweet?

0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:10.480
<v Speaker 2>By the way, No, I tend to have stayed off

0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:12.840
<v Speaker 2>Twitter and all of that just because I know it can.

0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:14.640
<v Speaker 3>Get quite cutthroat.

0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:20.040
<v Speaker 1>On there, and yes, probably for the best. Well, I

0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:22.840
<v Speaker 1>need to ask just before you go. Something that everyone

0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:25.839
<v Speaker 1>gets asked is a question of what is something from

0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:27.960
<v Speaker 1>behind the scenes, something that we didn't see that we

0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:30.760
<v Speaker 1>won't see. That's kind of like a behind the scene

0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:34.000
<v Speaker 1>secret from your time making the Traders.

0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:38.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean what you kind of didn't see, maybe

0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:41.199
<v Speaker 2>got a quick glimpse of it, didn't really was that the.

0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:43.160
<v Speaker 3>Entire time I was knitting a.

0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:46.240
<v Speaker 2>Scarf, So anytime I felt like anxious or just like

0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:49.160
<v Speaker 2>so buzzed, I would just start knitting, and I reckon,

0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:53.440
<v Speaker 2>I like started and restarted and restarted this scarf so

0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:55.439
<v Speaker 2>many times I reckon I needed.

0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:58.040
<v Speaker 3>Like the equivalent of like six thousand scars just in

0:10:58.040 --> 0:10:59.880
<v Speaker 3>the one scarf, because I pull it all apart, and

0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:02.079
<v Speaker 3>then I'd start the next day again and knit it again.

0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:04.560
<v Speaker 1>How big is this scarf? By the way, I'm just

0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:07.280
<v Speaker 1>picturing you now, wrapped up from head to toe in

0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:08.240
<v Speaker 1>this look.

0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:11.440
<v Speaker 2>I only had so much wool, so it was only

0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:15.400
<v Speaker 2>like two bales worth of wool there. But I gave

0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:18.360
<v Speaker 2>it to my dog because I can't bring myself to

0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:19.640
<v Speaker 2>wear that scarf anymore.

0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:21.680
<v Speaker 1>It's one thing that people don't know about a lot

0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:23.760
<v Speaker 1>of these shows, though, is there's a lot of downtime

0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:26.400
<v Speaker 1>where they can't miss you talking to other people, so

0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:29.560
<v Speaker 1>they often will make the contestants sit apart and have

0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:32.760
<v Speaker 1>to do things. You know, I've heard crocheting's really popular

0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:35.800
<v Speaker 1>in between takes, so all of that sort of stuff

0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:38.920
<v Speaker 1>is quite interesting. Is that kind of what happens when

0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:41.480
<v Speaker 1>you're making the traders is that they can't have you

0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:45.080
<v Speaker 1>colluding without the cameras being there, so they sort of

0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:47.120
<v Speaker 1>isolate you to knit and crochet.

0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:50.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, can't ging away the magic of TV, but I

0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:52.400
<v Speaker 2>will say I spent a lot of time knitting.

0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Well, make congratulations on winning the show. It was a

0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:59.520
<v Speaker 1>fantastic season. Do we know if there's going to be

0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:01.800
<v Speaker 1>act So that's a good question. Do we know? Have

0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:03.520
<v Speaker 1>they announced there's going to be a season two?

0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:06.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm not sure, but something you might have to

0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:07.680
<v Speaker 2>stay tuned for.

0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:10.480
<v Speaker 1>You're giving nothing away. They obviously haven't given you the

0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:12.920
<v Speaker 1>money yet, so you're just like, I've got to I

0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:15.960
<v Speaker 1>have to really look after this to make sure, but

0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:18.000
<v Speaker 1>I get the cash in the bank account. Is there

0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:20.199
<v Speaker 1>anything that you'd want to see different? Actually, if the

0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:23.040
<v Speaker 1>show comes back, is there a twist that you think

0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:24.760
<v Speaker 1>would work well on the show?

0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:26.679
<v Speaker 3>Oh, that's a good question.

0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:28.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:32.160
<v Speaker 2>They have a lot of master minds behind the show,

0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:34.679
<v Speaker 2>so I'm sure whatever they will do next will be

0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:37.120
<v Speaker 2>magnificent and better than the first season.

0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:39.560
<v Speaker 3>But I'm pretty damn happy with the first season. I

0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:41.160
<v Speaker 3>reckon it panned out pretty well.

0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:43.959
<v Speaker 1>It was amazing. It was amazing. Well, Alex, thank you

0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:46.400
<v Speaker 1>so much for joining us today and chatting about the show.

0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:50.600
<v Speaker 1>Good luck with the wedding and the babies. And all

0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:53.160
<v Speaker 1>of that, and we'll be in your audience. Maybe we'll

0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:54.000
<v Speaker 1>see you somewhere else.

0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:59.400
<v Speaker 3>Thank you,
