But first 8 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: UK influencer couple Jed Barker and Image and Crib have 9 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,160 Speaker 1: sparked a bill splitting debate on their recent trip to Balley. 10 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,560 Speaker 1: The pair enjoyed a three course meal in Udbud. After 11 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 1: the meal, Image and revealed a big pet peeve of hers. 12 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:40,200 Speaker 1: Let's have a listen. 13 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 2: This boy to me on four holiday to dog knows 14 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 2: the pens my car just because you know we're open 15 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 2: and that kind of sense, like I say, like, oh, Jedge, 16 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 2: Tim can't go and pay. He likes to act like 17 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 2: he's paying for every single meal and he doesn't find 18 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 2: you had a bit of oh yeah, it's fine, I'll 19 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 2: grab it and then put my opin in thinking that 20 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 2: it's his card and it's not, it's mine, And then 21 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 2: he'll turn to me as the wachss is walking away, Oh, 22 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 2: can you put my card. 23 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: In your purse? This kind of reminds me of the 24 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: TikTok trend. Whether like he's a ten, but he pretends 25 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: to pay for your meals. It's next level. The way 26 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 1: he would ask for his card to be put in 27 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: image was. 28 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:20,119 Speaker 3: Like, that's so sad. 29 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: Why do you have to cover it up that much? 30 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: It's kind of that stereotypical thing, isn't it, where the 31 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: man is expected to pay. I know with Dale and 32 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: I we now have a joint card, but Dale does 33 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: make a point of going up and paying. 34 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 3: On it, and it almost looks as if he's paid. 35 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: Doesn't it defeat the whole purpose of taking in terms 36 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: to pay the bill, because if you're only concerned about 37 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 1: the optics of it and people judging you for your 38 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 1: female partner paying the bill, then why not just shout 39 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: her the whole time? Yeah, I have noticed when the 40 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: six of us are all out, all the boys get 41 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: up and pay, and like, Brandon and I actually don't 42 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,559 Speaker 1: have a joint bank account yet, even though we are engaged. 43 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: Maybe it's something to come, but we usually split everything 44 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: or we just pay for it. But Brandon will always 45 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: get up and be like, yeah, so for what do 46 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: you want, I'll pay for you. I think it's because 47 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: he notices that your partners will go up because you've 48 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: all got the joint account. 49 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 3: But then don't you just go and send him money out? 50 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the thing. 51 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 3: I always feel bad, so I said, oh, Dora, I'll. 52 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: Send you some money. I haven't actually noticed if Reese 53 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: does this or not. I'll have to look out for it. 54 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: But it would piss me off because if you're fully 55 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: paying on your card, it's a bit rude to then 56 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: take credit for it in front of the waiters. And 57 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: why does he feel the need to do that. No, 58 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: I want to hear in our Facebook community, does your 59 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: partner do this so they take credit for you paying 60 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 1: the bill? 61 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 4: So mister Wanamie doesn't actually always look this cancer naturally 62 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 4: because he actually takes. 63 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 5: A lot of work. 64 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: A super sleuth on TikTok, who really should be working 65 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: for the FBI, has followers convinced TikToker Addis Paul and 66 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: Sophia beg Aka Sofa dofa are dating. Now it comes 67 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,679 Speaker 1: just two months after Addis called it quits with long 68 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: term partner Mi Kayla Tester. Now, sof are you okay? 69 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: Because this is big news in the TikTok space. It 70 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: did rock me to my call. It's news. It's like 71 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: two worlds are colliding on TikTok and I don't know 72 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: where the followers are ready for it. And I really 73 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: take my hat off to this super sleuth on TikTok 74 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: who has pieced this all together so perfectly. The attention 75 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 1: to detail and level of investigation that has gone into 76 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: this is truly inspiring. I feel like this person is 77 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: doing our job for us, inspiring or sad I go inspiring. Now, 78 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: what's happened is Adams Paul has jumped on his stories 79 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: asking his followers for advice on his new furniture. So 80 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: he shared a couple of screenshots of a new bed 81 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: and chair that was featured on a furniture website. Now, 82 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: this all seemed very innocent until the super sleuth in 83 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: question realized that Adis Paul was on FaceTime with someone 84 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: when he took the screen shot. Now this is where 85 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: I really respect the attention to detail So in the 86 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: screen shot of this piece of furniture, the bed in 87 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: the top right hand corner, we see a cut off 88 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: FaceTime square. Now all we see is a snippet of 89 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: light blue and white striped pajamas and a bit of 90 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: blonde hair. In the next screenshot of the other piece 91 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: of furniture, which was a chair in the bottom right 92 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: hand corner, we see the top of a blonde girl's 93 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: head and a white air conditioner with a mirror beneath it. Now, 94 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: this TikTok user has pieced this all together and put 95 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 1: it in a video and has finished the video with 96 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: Sofia in the same pajamas. Now, she does quite often 97 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: wear these pajamas on her Instagram story, but clearly it's 98 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 1: a big fan who has also noticed the fact that 99 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: Sofia has a mirror underneath her air conditioner. Now, that 100 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: is all pretty incredible. And this video has attracted two 101 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: million views. And it's interesting to note that this is 102 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: the only video the account has shared. And the comments 103 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: under this video were hilarious. So one usero, can you 104 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: tell me who killed John Beney? This was liked by 105 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 1: six thousand people. Another said the detective work but whide 106 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: as Sofa Dofa and Addis make so much sense. I 107 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: actually rate and ship this honestly, two special souls and 108 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 1: beautiful people. They have a point now. Adas Paul and 109 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: Sophia Beg are two of the biggest people on TikTok 110 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: at the moment in Australia, and their star power together 111 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: is huge. I'm calling bullshit though on this account. I 112 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: think this could be set up by Addis or Sofa 113 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 1: Dofa because the fact it's only got one video. You know, 114 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: you hear of celebrities tipping off the paparazzi about where 115 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: they're gonna be. I feel like someone has tipped them off, 116 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: or this account is somehow connected to Adis Paul because 117 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 1: everyone's talking about it, and we all know with TikTok, 118 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: the more people that talk about you, the more views, 119 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,559 Speaker 1: the more money you're gonna get. But perhaps this person 120 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: who spotted all the clues is just a normal person 121 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: that doesn't have a backup account or a finster and 122 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: wanted to share what they'd found without putting it through 123 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: their own name. I get that, but the likelihood of 124 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: it taking off if this account has no video, yeah, 125 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: this is pretty well that their first video has attracted 126 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: two million views. I mean, Adis is a mastermind at 127 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: attracting attention online and staying relevant. I do think it 128 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: could possibly be planted, because why would you be screenshotting 129 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: yourself when you're on FaceTime. Oh, here's this random furniture. 130 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: Could you take a screenshot at any moment of the furniture? 131 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 1: He was clearly talking to Sophia about this furniture and 132 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 1: probably thought, fuck, this is a good time to get 133 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: a bit of attention. And rumors have been circulating that 134 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 1: the two have become close after the Stacks event, So 135 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: there have been videos circulating showing Adis following Sofa Dofa 136 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: around the event. They've also started engaging with each other's 137 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,159 Speaker 1: content on social media, and it's very good timing for 138 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: both Sofia and Adas as they've both recently parted ways 139 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 1: from their long term partners and the polls have often 140 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: been described as TikTok royalty. So I feel like with 141 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: Sophia being TikTok's it girl, this is a perfect coupling. Now, 142 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 1: Adis's ex, mikaela Tester, has not stayed quiet on these rumors. 143 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: I do love it when she drops it, and because 144 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: it's always around the time, there is some drama and 145 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: she usually breadcrumbs her followers with little clues about what's 146 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: really going on. So she got sent in a question 147 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: asking thoughts on Sofa dofa now. She tagged Sofa dofa 148 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: in the post and said that's my bestie and I 149 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: love her. She also shared an old photo of what 150 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: appeared to be Sofa Dofah sitting on a hotel bed. 151 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: I assume to show that they are pretty close the 152 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: fact that they're sharing hotels together now. A user responded 153 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: to the post saying, but that makes no sense. Haven't 154 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: you seen dot dot dot. Mikayla then wrote, don't believe 155 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: everything you see. Perhaps these guys are all just friends, 156 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: though I mean, they all are influencers, they all go 157 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: to the same events. It's likely that they've all met together. 158 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: And maybe Michayla is fine with Sophia hanging out with Adis. 159 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: Here's a plot twist. If they're all friends, maybe Sophia 160 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: is in Adis's ear about getting back with Mikayla. Oh 161 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: my god, I'm sorry for is anyone else not seeing 162 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: what's clearly happening? It's like the high Paths where they 163 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: all pretend that they're in relationships and they break up 164 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: to get more following. Could that not just be the answer? 165 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: Could this whole breakoup between Addis and Mchayla be orchestrated 166 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: then they're introducing Sofi dofa into it. 167 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 3: I mean, it's very clever if it is. 168 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: Well, both of them just have come out of long 169 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: term relationships. So maybe they're, you know, on Seinfeld when 170 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: they're just there, you know, they're being an ear for 171 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: each other and suddenly they get together. Well. I think 172 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: that Mikayla was a bit upset that she wasn't getting 173 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: much attention out of this because she started staring up 174 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: rumors of her own in the Q and A. So 175 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: she was asked to show a recent photo in her 176 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 1: camera reel. So she decided to show a photo of 177 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: her on FaceTime with a mystery guy. And I don't 178 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: know who the mystery guy is. It's a quite attractive 179 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 1: looking young guy, dark hair. So if any listeners know 180 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,959 Speaker 1: who this is, hit us up in the DMS tell us. 181 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,839 Speaker 1: Surely the TikToker who investigated the Addis poll staff will 182 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: find out who this guy is. 183 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 4: I can believe I even thought I'm getting back together 184 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 4: with you, we are so over. 185 00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 2: Phone romo. 186 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: Breakup TikTok is a new corner of the Internet full 187 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: of tears, sad music, and journeys. 188 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 3: Of self discovery. 189 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: Content creators in this space say they aren't doing it 190 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: for the big bucks. They're doing it to help others 191 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: recover from their own heartache. Sophie, I feel like this 192 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: type of content would have been appearing on your for 193 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: you page back in the day when you went through 194 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: a nasty breakup. Yeah, I feel like I would have 195 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,439 Speaker 1: watched it, but I don't think I would have created 196 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: my own. And a lot of these women are using 197 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: TikTok as a diary about their breakup, so they're really 198 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: going into the raw, nitty gritty about what happened. But generally, 199 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: when you break up with someone or you get dumped, 200 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: I feel like usually Instagram is used to show that 201 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: person how well you're doing, how you've moved on, how 202 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: your new breakup haircut's going to make people jealous. I 203 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: don't feel like your air your dirty laundry and put 204 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: up how upset you are. Yeah, can you imagine being 205 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: the X and on your fore you page, it's your 206 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,839 Speaker 1: ex popping up by saying you know how terrible they're 207 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: going in the breakup? Yeah, well that's the thing. These 208 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: people are using it to talk about these heart wrenching 209 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 1: moments and documenting how they're living alone and how they're 210 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 1: moving on from this person. I would just find the 211 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,319 Speaker 1: whole thing mortifying. Surely the exes are blocked. You'd want 212 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: to go off on TikTok as well, wouldn't you if 213 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 1: you wanted to monetize that shit, not just go off? Well, 214 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: there are many TikTok accounts that are blowing up from 215 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: content like this. So a twenty four year old woman 216 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: in the US called Bridget split with her boyfriend after 217 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 1: four years and instantly became a breakup influencer overnight, with 218 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 1: her following growing from three hundred followers to twenty three 219 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,839 Speaker 1: thousand followers. So, prior to the breakup, she was sharing 220 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: openly about her relationship online and use TikTok as a diary, 221 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 1: so her now ex wasn't surprised or resistant when she 222 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,959 Speaker 1: asked if she could film their last few interactions. Is 223 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: it just me or do we think the obsession with 224 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: capturing everything actually led to Bridges breakup. You would actually 225 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: think that that would be the cause of the breakup, 226 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: but I had a look into bridges content and it 227 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: appears that it was actually pretty mutual between them and 228 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: the stuff she was sharing. 229 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 3: So she actually shared a page packing. 230 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: Up her things from their shared apartment, and then she 231 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: had this overlay of them in better times. It's very 232 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: emotional music. She even took it a step further filming 233 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: their final farewell to each other, and also she set 234 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: up a camera to film them discussing basically their breakup 235 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 1: and what was going to happen, whether they were in 236 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: fact going to leave, Like it's crazy. Do you think 237 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: that just do you think that just validated his decision? 238 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, this is excellent. I feel like she's 239 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: been watching too much Gary Vee. You know when he's 240 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: like document everything. This is probably something that you wouldn't document. 241 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: Can you imagine the heat of the moment where you're 242 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: having an argument, where you're potentially about to break up? Oh, 243 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: do you mind if I set my camera up in 244 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: the corner to like, what on earth is going on? 245 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: And there has been a bit of a mixed reception 246 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 1: in the comments section on some of these breakup accounts. 247 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: One user wrote, our generation is so messed up? Why 248 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 1: would you film it? Another wrote, you really have no 249 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: boundaries and I tend to really with these people well. 250 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: In response to the negativity, Bridget said, despite the haters, 251 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: this content can be a lifeline for some viewers. People 252 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: kept dming me and asking me for help. I decided 253 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: to bring everyone together and now I have close to 254 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: three hundred and forty people in eleven active group chats 255 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,599 Speaker 1: on Instagram. The thing is, though, she says that you 256 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: know she's trying to help everyone, but why was she 257 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: filming in the moment of the breakup because she didn't 258 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,319 Speaker 1: know that this is what it would lead to surely, 259 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 1: or is she looking for a niche and decided, well, 260 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: maybe we will break up and I'll be big on 261 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: breakup TikTok. I don't get how the X is happy 262 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: for this stuff to be online, because apparently Bridget said 263 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: that she showed the X before the video went out, 264 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: and he was very supportive and said that, you know, 265 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: it's something to help her heal from the breakup. And 266 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: it did become more apparent though that as these videos 267 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: started blowing up he did feel a little bit more 268 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,439 Speaker 1: uncomfortable about it, and said that he couldn't watch them 269 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 1: anymore because it was stopping him from moving on. I mean, 270 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 1: can you imagine if your ex partner was creating content 271 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: about your breakup and talking about how heartbroken they were, 272 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 1: how much they missed you, as if you wouldn't tune 273 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: in to watch it, I would have the popcorn at 274 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: the end. Now, Sophie, can you imagine if you're the 275 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: girl that then dates this guy after all the material 276 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: you have looking into his life, what's his past mistakes? Yeah? Well. 277 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: Another breakup influencer by the name of Victoria Clark said 278 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 1: that she didn't ask her X for permission to post 279 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: the content. She said she did her best to try 280 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: and use footage and pictures where he wasn't easily identifiable. 281 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 1: She did say, though, that she had to come clean 282 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: to him about the videos once they started getting hundreds 283 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: of thousands of views. Now the X said he was 284 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: very upset by the videos of her crying, and he 285 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 1: said he wished he didn't use their breakup as content, 286 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: but apparently totally understood why So, what happens after you've 287 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 1: moved on and you're a breakup influencer. Well, actually, Bridget 288 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 1: has started to share videos like sort of diary videos 289 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,439 Speaker 1: about her first date since the breakup happens. If you 290 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: want to get back with your X, like there's no 291 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 1: way they're going to get back to you after that, 292 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,319 Speaker 1: that would be perfect content for them. Imagine the views 293 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 1: on that. It's like if you bitch about an X 294 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 1: and then you're like, oh, yeah, actually we decided to 295 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:10,679 Speaker 1: get back together. 296 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 3: And everyone's just laid the boot in. 297 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 1: The whole thing is I can see the merit in 298 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,199 Speaker 1: creating a space where people are talking about their feelings 299 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: after the breakup, and you know, it's a community where 300 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: people can talk about their own heartache and you know, 301 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: you're seeing the reality of a breakup. However, I think 302 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: that the recording of those private moments for clicks is 303 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: just gross. 304 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, but are they making money off it? 305 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: Like? Is there a way to monetize this type of content? 306 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: I definitely think that there is a way. Can you 307 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: think of all the brands, like for instance, new dating apps, Yeah, 308 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: that you could be pushed a tissue brands and bumble. 309 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 2: Now, I have to say to you that actually I've 310 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 2: been working at home since I was twenty seven, So 311 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 2: I haven't really got dressed for decades. 312 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: My Kitchen Rules has returned to our screens after a 313 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: long two year hiatus, and it's all looking a little different. 314 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: Amy even you tuned in to see what it was like. Yeah, 315 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: and I haven't watched MKR for years, but the inclusion 316 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: of Nigella Lawson sucked me into the show. So Nigella 317 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: of course replaced Pete Evans and she's appearing alongside old 318 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: favorite Manu for Dell and there were some noticeable changes 319 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: to the show. 320 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 3: So the show was actually acted. 321 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: In twenty twenty following terrible ratings, and people might remember 322 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: the show came up against Married at First Sight and 323 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: Manu has said in recent interviews that there was a 324 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: real push by production to make the show more dramatic 325 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: in order to try and beat MATHS. So I think 326 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: it was dramatic to begin with with all the villains, 327 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: and I know, but Manu claims that the show became 328 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: more about contestants than the food, and now this season 329 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 1: it's back to basics. 330 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 3: It's all about the food. 331 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: So it really appears they're trying to make it more 332 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: like Master Chef, So a real feel good moment where 333 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: the whole family can come together. I reckon it could 334 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: be off the back of Lego Masters. Oh my god, 335 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: I said Lego in Australia. In Adelaide, everyone says Lego 336 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: off the back of Lego Masters doing so well because 337 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: everyone loved the fact that as a family that you 338 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: could tune in, you had Hamish Blake who was so funny. 339 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: It was all very lighthearted and really you just felt 340 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: good after watching it. I think Nigella's inclusion is also 341 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: for those foodies because we grew up watching Nigella and 342 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: as you said, Amy, I am drawn to watch the 343 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: show just to see her talk about. 344 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 3: Food exactly now. 345 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: In terms of the contestants, they seemed a lot more 346 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: wholesome than we're used to and it does appear to 347 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: be one couple that's kind of earmarked as the villains. However, 348 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: I don't think they're going to get the treatment like 349 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: we've seen in the past. I think it's going to 350 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: be pretty feel good and, as you said, focus a 351 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: lot more on the food rather than creating fights between 352 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: the contestants. Have you guys noticed though, that usually the 353 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: people who would be the villains on the show, they're 354 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: now becoming the most popular characters. I mean you look 355 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: at Chatfield, Yeah, I mean you look at Love Island 356 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: with Eck and Suit. She would have been the biggest 357 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,360 Speaker 1: villain a couple of years ago. She would have been 358 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: what they can't vote them out, but they would have 359 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: tried to get rid of her. But everyone's so wise 360 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: now to TV shows that everyone loved her for creating 361 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,640 Speaker 1: drama and actually making the show interesting. 362 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 5: Yeah. 363 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: I think that people now understand the dynamic of these 364 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 1: reality TV shows and they want people that are going to, 365 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 1: as you said, create drama, be a little bit more interesting. 366 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 1: So I'm intrigued to see how this rates, because, to 367 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: be honest, I will probably tune in for Nigella, but 368 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: it appears she's only going to be on half the 369 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,120 Speaker 1: show anyway, so I wonder if the ratings will drop 370 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 1: off as soon as she is off our screen. Well, 371 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: the ratings have come out for the first night, and 372 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 1: the show was up against The Block and the Mask Singer. 373 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: So the Block won the ratings with seven hundred and 374 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 1: forty seven thousand metro viewers. The Mass Singer came in 375 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: second with five hundred and ninety eight thousand, and not 376 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 1: far behind was MKR with five hundred and three thousand. However, 377 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 1: despite ranking third, there's been so much talk online about 378 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 1: Nigella being the savior of this show, so it's expected 379 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 1: that it's going to go up even further in the ratings. 380 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 4: Okay, so I'm not about to air my dirty launching 381 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 4: on social media. I don't think it's appropriate to talk 382 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 4: about some things. I don't want to put anyone in 383 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 4: a negative light, especially the father of my kids. No matter, like, 384 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,879 Speaker 4: no matter what, I'm just I'm not gonna do that. 385 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:24,360 Speaker 4: But basically, in response to the car thing that he's 386 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,439 Speaker 4: talking about, that's not the full story. 387 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 1: It's not true at all. 388 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 4: Like, just don't believe what you see on social media, 389 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 4: you goes. 390 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: Reees Hawkins made a surprise appearance at his daughter's birthday 391 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: party over the weekend. Saskia, who he shares with Tammy Hembro, 392 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: celebrated her sixth birthday in style with a Mawana themed 393 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 1: party on the Gold Coast. Reese's appearance comes amid rumors 394 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 1: he's broken up with his wife London. Now, kay, can 395 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 1: you tell us more? Well, it's a second time in 396 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,479 Speaker 1: two months that Reese has posted with his two children 397 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: he shares with his ex Tammy hembro So. Back in May, 398 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: He's surprised followers when he shared a photo of him 399 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: with Saskia and Wolf back in Australia. Now, Reese has 400 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 1: been a notable absence in his two oldest children's lives 401 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: since trying to relocate to the US with his wife 402 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: London and the infant son's stone And. It appears Reese 403 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 1: has not spent much time with his youngest son, as 404 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 1: he had struggled to gain access into the US. Instead, 405 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: it appears he has spent most of the last year 406 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: or so in Mexico, with trips to Switzerland as well, 407 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,199 Speaker 1: and last month he was in Italy in between his 408 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 1: two trips to Australia. Now, Reese has copped a lot 409 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: of criticism online about being a so called absent dad, 410 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 1: so he infamously deleted all of the photos of his 411 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 1: two eldest children on Instagram before moving overseas. Now at 412 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,919 Speaker 1: the time he stated he didn't want to share his 413 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 1: children online, only then to share photos of his newborn 414 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: son Stone And. I think the timing of Reese finally 415 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: visiting Saskia and Wolf hasn't reflected well on his relationship 416 00:19:56,359 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: with London. It's always been a contentious relationship, Achille, considering 417 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: that it came out that London was originally a fan 418 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,679 Speaker 1: of Tammy and Reese, and it is interesting now that 419 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,400 Speaker 1: rumors are swirling that they've broken up and he now 420 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: chooses to visit his children in Australia. As we discussed 421 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 1: last month, London's engagement ring has been missing from her 422 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 1: posts and stories since late April. The pair have also 423 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 1: not liked each other's Instagram posts since early June, and 424 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,679 Speaker 1: it now appears they've unfollowed each other on Instagram. It 425 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 1: does appear as though Reese's trying to restore his reputation 426 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 1: as a father. So in a deleted comment, a follower 427 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 1: remarked on Reese's absence, to which he replied, I'm not 428 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,919 Speaker 1: an absent dad. Can you please stop saying that? So 429 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: it does appear he's been quite deliberate in sharing photos 430 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: of himself in Saskia and Wolf's lives again. And I 431 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: think that's fair enough, because we really don't know what 432 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 1: goes on behind closed doors. I mean, yes, he has 433 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,199 Speaker 1: chosen to remove photos of them, but I think his 434 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: reasoning for removing photos was for their own privacy. I 435 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: don't know necessarily think it's him saying I don't want 436 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 1: to have anything to do with them anymore. 437 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, but then he. 438 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 1: Uploaded photos with Stone, so it didn't really make it. 439 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 1: But that was him now saying that Stone was being born. Yeah. 440 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 1: But if you say I'm going to keep my kids' 441 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: lives off Instagram and then you only post about one, 442 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: it does seem a little bit unfair. Also, Tammy Hembro 443 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: has come out and said she's got sole custody of 444 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: the children. I suppose it's not really a good look 445 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 1: to be jet setting around overseas when your ex partner 446 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: is looking after your kids in two different countries. That 447 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 1: being said, I'm just so glad that he has stepped 448 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: back into their lives because they look incredibly happy to 449 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 1: have their dad back. And at the end of the day, 450 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: it's all about the kids being happy. So if he's 451 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 1: making steps to be part of their life again, I 452 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 1: feel like it's just a win win for the kids. 453 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 5: Hi, I'm m Kinson, I'm an actress. Bringing me out 454 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:51,120 Speaker 5: of here. I'm out ten out of ten from Turkey. 455 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 5: Whenever a fit boy with a membership in the gym 456 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 5: for over six months. Entre de Villa, I need to 457 00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,360 Speaker 5: flirt within with. 458 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: A heavy heart. But it's time to discuss the Love 459 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 1: Island UK finale. I am still mourning the end of 460 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: this season. I just don't know what to watch or 461 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 1: talk about at the moment. I missed the Islanders so 462 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 1: much so that last night I actually watched an episode 463 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: of Unseen Bits that I'd missed from last week, and 464 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: it was an epic ending to one of the best 465 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: seasons of Love Island, with Eck and Sue and David 466 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: Ay taking out the title. How did you feel about 467 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: the result? I was really happy. I felt like the 468 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 1: public got it right because they deserve to win. Even 469 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: though I don't think that they're the most in love 470 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: couple or that their relationship is as far as some 471 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 1: of the other Islanders. They brought the entertainment, they made 472 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: the show. As people are saying, Ek and Sue is 473 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: Love Island. She is so popular that she is even 474 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 1: being touted as taking over from Laura Whitmore, who is, 475 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: of course the host of the show. And they won 476 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 1: in a complete landslide. They received sixty three point seven 477 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,439 Speaker 1: of the public votes. I had tried to have a 478 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: media blackout for days because I watched the finale quite 479 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,159 Speaker 1: a few days after it had aired, and can you 480 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: believe I literally was in the ad break before they 481 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 1: announced who won, and I scrolled onto Snapchat and saw 482 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 1: the winner. I could not believe it. I don't know 483 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: how you thought you could have a media blackout from it. 484 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: For me, it's not a show that it really matters 485 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,400 Speaker 1: who won. I'm just there for the drama and the entertainment. Now, 486 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: media commentators are predicting that Eck and Sue and Jemma 487 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 1: Owen are set to make millions as the standout stars 488 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: of the show. 489 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, you are correct. 490 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 1: So while Gemma has grown up with wealth, with her 491 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 1: soccer player dad Michael Owen reportedly being worth sixty eight 492 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: million dollars, it appears she's set to become a millionaire herself. 493 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: So before entering the villa, Jemma came up with the 494 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 1: ingenious idea to launch a swimwear brand, and she, of 495 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 1: course wore her own swimwear on the show, which is 496 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,479 Speaker 1: the perfect platform to show off her designs. Considering that 497 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 1: the Islanders only ever wear bathers for the majority of 498 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: the time in the villa, it really worked in her 499 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 1: favor this year as well, because for the first time, 500 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,159 Speaker 1: Love Ireland didn't have a huge fast fashion brand as 501 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: a sponsor, so eBay was one of the sponsors and 502 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: they were also allowed to bring in their own clothes. Yes, 503 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: it was very clever and the swimwear has proven very 504 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,439 Speaker 1: popular with the general public as well as high street stores, 505 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:20,160 Speaker 1: who have bombarded Gemma's management team with offers for collaborations. 506 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: Jemma is also set to make a mint from fashion endorsements. 507 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: I'm sure there are many fast fashion brands vying for 508 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: her to be the face of their next collection. And 509 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: I did notice in a real that she shared where 510 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 1: she was reunited with her dogs and horse, that she 511 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: was holding a pretty little thing shopping bag, so it 512 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: might be a sign of things to come. I did 513 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,400 Speaker 1: spy that as well actually. Now, as for Eck and Sue, 514 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: there are rumors that she and Dava Day may have 515 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: been offered their own reality show, So Davi Day played 516 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 1: into the rumors this week by sharing a petition for 517 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: the couple to get their own TV show where they 518 00:24:55,560 --> 00:25:00,640 Speaker 1: travel around Italy, eating food and arguing and laughing together. Now, 519 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,160 Speaker 1: Daviday added a pulp for fans to vote between two options, 520 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: which were both yes. A source has told the Son 521 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,400 Speaker 1: Telley Chiefs are eyeing them up for their own series 522 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: after singling them out as standout stars of the series 523 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 1: of Love Island. Eck and Zoo and Davia Day have 524 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,120 Speaker 1: blown fans away during their time on the show. They 525 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 1: have global appeal and could be huge now. So, as 526 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: you mentioned earlier, there is a petition going around for 527 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,439 Speaker 1: Eck and Sue to take over Laura Whitmore as the 528 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: host of Love Island. And this has all come about 529 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: because fans were really impressed with her presenting skills, and 530 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: I feel like Laura Whitmore should be annoyed because she 531 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: was never on the show. There were all these these 532 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 1: opportunities where someone's getting dumped from the island and they 533 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 1: just get the contestants to read it out. I also 534 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,640 Speaker 1: noticed that Jemma Owen did a really good job at presenting, 535 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 1: so I could see both of them possibly vying for 536 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: that position of Love Island host in the future. I 537 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,160 Speaker 1: think Laura Whitmore does such a great job of hosting, though, 538 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 1: and I think the fact that she's a little bit older, 539 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,679 Speaker 1: she kind of has that motherly figure in saying that 540 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 1: I suppose Ecken Sue was really the mother of the 541 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: Love Island house. I wonder how Laura Whitmore's partner who 542 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 1: does the voiceovers, would feel if eck and Zou was 543 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,880 Speaker 1: to replace his wife. I feel like they come as 544 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,879 Speaker 1: a pair. So that's Ian Sterling, who is iconic on 545 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: Love Island. So I don't think they're going to get 546 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: rid of Laura Whitmore, because you don't want to get 547 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 1: rid of Ian. In other Ecken Zoo news, a voice 548 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 1: notes between the Turkish Delight and a friend discussing the 549 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,479 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one season of Love Island have been leaked. 550 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 1: In the audio, eck and Sue reportedly said last year 551 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: was awful. The people on there were just dry, pointless, 552 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 1: shit personalities. I just couldn't believe them. Even the couple 553 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 1: who won, Liam and Milly, even they were dry. I 554 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 1: was like, fuck me, where is the drama? I think 555 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 1: last year was wrong. I don't know why they put 556 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 1: people on like that. They would dry now. Eken also 557 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: commented on Liberty and Jake's relationship, calling it fake and 558 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,120 Speaker 1: none of the two thousand twenty one cast of Love 559 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: Island mentioned have responded to the voice notes, she did 560 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 1: have a point that series was not good as this 561 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: is I did really enjoy Milli and Liam though, I 562 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 1: think they brought a bit of drama to it, but 563 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 1: the way that she just accepted him back was a 564 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 1: bit disappointing. I enjoyed the series at the time, but 565 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 1: now that we've had the twenty twenty two series, I 566 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: can see that it was a lot better now. The 567 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 1: Islanders were back together for the reunion show on Thursday night, 568 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,360 Speaker 1: which is yet to air on nine Now I'm desperately 569 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:33,120 Speaker 1: waiting for that to be uploaded, and Antigny apparently hosted 570 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: a lavish after party at her home with a performance 571 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 1: from Chipmunk that went on to the early hours of 572 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:42,159 Speaker 1: Friday morning. I don't know that I knew you were 573 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 1: going to ask me. I don't know. Apparently they're probably 574 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: some cool musician. Okay, so sorry, probably get heaps of 575 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: dms about that. Sorry. However, the interesting thing was that 576 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 1: the final eight contestants were notable absentees, so apparently the 577 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,679 Speaker 1: only people who attended the after party from the final 578 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,680 Speaker 1: week of the show were Adam and Page, and Insider 579 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 1: said Antigny threw the most amazing party for everyone, and 580 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 1: almost all the stars were there. Apart from the big names, 581 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,160 Speaker 1: people felt like they had decided to distance themselves from 582 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: the main group, and it's pretty clear a big divide 583 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 1: has already formed. Wow, that's so interesting because talking about 584 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:21,160 Speaker 1: the previous series, I heard in a podcast interview with Chloe. 585 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 1: If you remember, Chloe was the one who came second, 586 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,919 Speaker 1: who was partnered up with Toby, and she was saying 587 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: that after the show, there was this big Love Island 588 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:35,199 Speaker 1: group WhatsApp message and she just completely distanced herself from it. 589 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: She just left the group, didn't want anything to do 590 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: with it, and there was this big Love Island WhatsApp 591 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: group and she said that while she initially tried to 592 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 1: throw on a few messages, she tried to distance herself 593 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 1: a bit from it. It's also like Molly May who 594 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 1: doesn't even like talking about Love Island because she doesn't 595 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 1: want to be associated with the show anymore. I was 596 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 1: scrolling on TikTok yesterday and I came across Coco from 597 00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: Love Island, the famous Titgate girl, and she was posting 598 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 1: a lot of videos with the Blonde Bomb show. I 599 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: can't remember her name, she was the one that was 600 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 1: hooking up with Jack's and they just seem so desperate 601 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 1: to hold on to Love Island. They were hashtagging Love 602 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 1: Island on everything. Apparently they have had a like Coco's 603 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: had a bit of a brawl with Summer on the 604 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: reunion show as well, And I can kind of see 605 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 1: why you'd want to distance yourself from the tacky drama. 606 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 1: But not if you're an Ek and Sue or a 607 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 1: Gemma that are trying to then become the stars and 608 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: standouts from the show. Yeah, but not even that. It 609 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 1: probably is awkward for a lot of them who were 610 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 1: now in these somewhat serious relationships to go back to 611 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 1: the rest of the cast. I mean, you think about Damy, 612 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: who was previously dating Summer and Amber. Why would India 613 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 1: want to see those two girls there? You know what 614 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 1: I mean that it would open up a lot of awkwardness. Ah, 615 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 1: that's true. Apparently Damy was quite upset on the reunion 616 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 1: show because it came out that Summer hadn't followed him 617 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 1: on Instagram and he was really concerned about it. So 618 00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 1: a lot of people were like, I don't think he's 619 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 1: going to last with India. Well, I was really sad 620 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 1: to see that Jack's didn't show up to the reunion 621 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 1: because I feel like Paige has it almost coming to her. 622 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 1: I feel like no one has discussed the fact that 623 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 1: she and Jack's. When he left the house, Jack said 624 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 1: to her, I'm going to pick you up at the airport. 625 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,479 Speaker 1: I want to be in a relationship with you. He 626 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 1: inferred that he loved her, but then she just jumped 627 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 1: so quickly into a relationship with Adam and yeah, but 628 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: I feel like Jack's got no closure from that, so 629 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 1: I would have liked to see that play out on air. 630 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 1: The thing is, though, I feel like it's quite evident 631 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: that they were hiding something. Jack's clearly left the show 632 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 1: under unique circumstances. A lot of people were talking about 633 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 1: his mental health, but breading between the lines and knowing 634 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 1: reality TV show, I think there was an incident that 635 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 1: happened which made him get kicked off the show, and 636 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 1: it might have had something to do with his mental health. 637 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 1: I think it probably involved Adam and that's probably why 638 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: he wasn't. I mean, I'm guessing, I don't know. For me, 639 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 1: I really liked but I feel like I didn't agree 640 00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 1: with the way that he acted in Casa Moore, but 641 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 1: I feel like he had genuine and feelings for Paige, 642 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 1: and I feel like it was pretty clear when he left. 643 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 1: I mean, you can't you can't edit that. When he left, 644 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 1: he said, I want to wait for you, I want 645 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 1: to be with you. Yes. But the thing I'm saying 646 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 1: is I think he was actually kicked off the show 647 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 1: and they just pretended that he came up with this 648 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 1: reason to leave, hence why he wasn't invited back to 649 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: the reunion. Yeah, but he was invited to the reunion. 650 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: He said he doesn't too. He does. He said he 651 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: doesn't want to come because it's too heartbreaking for him. 652 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 1: He also said that the producers begged him to stay 653 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 1: on the show. Obviously for them, they would have loved 654 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 1: to see him come up against Adam. It would just 655 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,840 Speaker 1: be good ratings. I don't know. I think there's something 656 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: fishy going on now. I really need some of our 657 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 1: listeners to give me some recommendations of what I need 658 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: to start watching.
