WEBVTT - Influencer Love Triangles, Reece Hawkins Seeks Redemption & Break Up TikTok 0:00:01.000 --> 0:00:04.200 Hello, and welcome to Outspoken. You're dose of the hottest 0:00:04.200 --> 0:00:08.080 influencer and pop culture news twice a week. I'm Sophie 0:00:08.080 --> 0:00:11.040 Torbert and I'm joined by my sisters and journalist Kate 0:00:11.080 --> 0:00:14.720 and Amy on today's show as Sophia Beg and Addis Paul. 0:00:14.840 --> 0:00:19.000 The latest influencer couple Reese Hawkins's shock attendance at his 0:00:19.079 --> 0:00:22.680 daughter's birthday party, The Real Love Island Winners set to 0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:26.440 make it Big and what is Breakup TikTok? But first 0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:29.560 UK influencer couple Jed Barker and Image and Crib have 0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:33.160 sparked a bill splitting debate on their recent trip to Balley. 0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:36.560 The pair enjoyed a three course meal in Udbud. After 0:00:36.600 --> 0:00:39.280 the meal, Image and revealed a big pet peeve of hers. 0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:40.200 Let's have a listen. 0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:44.080 This boy to me on four holiday to dog knows 0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:47.320 the pens my car just because you know we're open 0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:49.280 and that kind of sense, like I say, like, oh, Jedge, 0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:53.199 Tim can't go and pay. He likes to act like 0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:56.960 he's paying for every single meal and he doesn't find 0:00:57.080 --> 0:00:59.360 you had a bit of oh yeah, it's fine, I'll 0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:01.600 grab it and then put my opin in thinking that 0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:04.320 it's his card and it's not, it's mine, And then 0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:07.240 he'll turn to me as the wachss is walking away, Oh, 0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:08.520 can you put my card. 0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:10.200 In your purse? This kind of reminds me of the 0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:12.959 TikTok trend. Whether like he's a ten, but he pretends 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:15.800 to pay for your meals. It's next level. The way 0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:18.200 he would ask for his card to be put in 0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:19.120 image was. 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:20.119 Like, that's so sad. 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:21.800 Why do you have to cover it up that much? 0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:24.560 It's kind of that stereotypical thing, isn't it, where the 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:26.800 man is expected to pay. I know with Dale and 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:29.280 I we now have a joint card, but Dale does 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:31.720 make a point of going up and paying. 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:33.880 On it, and it almost looks as if he's paid. 0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:36.880 Doesn't it defeat the whole purpose of taking in terms 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:39.120 to pay the bill, because if you're only concerned about 0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:41.400 the optics of it and people judging you for your 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:44.959 female partner paying the bill, then why not just shout 0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:48.440 her the whole time? Yeah, I have noticed when the 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:50.640 six of us are all out, all the boys get 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:53.120 up and pay, and like, Brandon and I actually don't 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:56.559 have a joint bank account yet, even though we are engaged. 0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:59.000 Maybe it's something to come, but we usually split everything 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:01.360 or we just pay for it. But Brandon will always 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:03.200 get up and be like, yeah, so for what do 0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:05.400 you want, I'll pay for you. I think it's because 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:07.720 he notices that your partners will go up because you've 0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:08.840 all got the joint account. 0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:10.520 But then don't you just go and send him money out? 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:11.160 Yeah, that's the thing. 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:13.240 I always feel bad, so I said, oh, Dora, I'll. 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:15.600 Send you some money. I haven't actually noticed if Reese 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:17.200 does this or not. I'll have to look out for it. 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:20.160 But it would piss me off because if you're fully 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:23.200 paying on your card, it's a bit rude to then 0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:25.440 take credit for it in front of the waiters. And 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:28.040 why does he feel the need to do that. No, 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:31.240 I want to hear in our Facebook community, does your 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:33.680 partner do this so they take credit for you paying 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:34.080 the bill? 0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:37.360 So mister Wanamie doesn't actually always look this cancer naturally 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:38.440 because he actually takes. 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:38.960 A lot of work. 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:41.760 A super sleuth on TikTok, who really should be working 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:45.440 for the FBI, has followers convinced TikToker Addis Paul and 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:49.720 Sophia beg Aka Sofa dofa are dating. Now it comes 0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:52.679 just two months after Addis called it quits with long 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:55.800 term partner Mi Kayla Tester. Now, sof are you okay? 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:58.680 Because this is big news in the TikTok space. It 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:01.080 did rock me to my call. It's news. It's like 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:03.840 two worlds are colliding on TikTok and I don't know 0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:06.520 where the followers are ready for it. And I really 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:09.160 take my hat off to this super sleuth on TikTok 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:13.720 who has pieced this all together so perfectly. The attention 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:17.079 to detail and level of investigation that has gone into 0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:19.880 this is truly inspiring. I feel like this person is 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:25.400 doing our job for us, inspiring or sad I go inspiring. Now, 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:28.440 what's happened is Adams Paul has jumped on his stories 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:32.000 asking his followers for advice on his new furniture. So 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.600 he shared a couple of screenshots of a new bed 0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:38.480 and chair that was featured on a furniture website. Now, 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:42.160 this all seemed very innocent until the super sleuth in 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:46.200 question realized that Adis Paul was on FaceTime with someone 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:50.120 when he took the screen shot. Now this is where 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:53.640 I really respect the attention to detail So in the 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:57.120 screen shot of this piece of furniture, the bed in 0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:00.000 the top right hand corner, we see a cut off 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:03.720 FaceTime square. Now all we see is a snippet of 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:06.880 light blue and white striped pajamas and a bit of 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:10.360 blonde hair. In the next screenshot of the other piece 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:12.960 of furniture, which was a chair in the bottom right 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:15.640 hand corner, we see the top of a blonde girl's 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:20.080 head and a white air conditioner with a mirror beneath it. Now, 0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:22.880 this TikTok user has pieced this all together and put 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:25.479 it in a video and has finished the video with 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:29.000 Sofia in the same pajamas. Now, she does quite often 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:32.560 wear these pajamas on her Instagram story, but clearly it's 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:35.039 a big fan who has also noticed the fact that 0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:39.560 Sofia has a mirror underneath her air conditioner. Now, that 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:43.000 is all pretty incredible. And this video has attracted two 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:45.680 million views. And it's interesting to note that this is 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:49.040 the only video the account has shared. And the comments 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:52.000 under this video were hilarious. So one usero, can you 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:55.440 tell me who killed John Beney? This was liked by 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:58.719 six thousand people. Another said the detective work but whide 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:01.800 as Sofa Dofa and Addis make so much sense. I 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:05.000 actually rate and ship this honestly, two special souls and 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:08.279 beautiful people. They have a point now. Adas Paul and 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:12.120 Sophia Beg are two of the biggest people on TikTok 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:16.200 at the moment in Australia, and their star power together 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:20.920 is huge. I'm calling bullshit though on this account. I 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:23.360 think this could be set up by Addis or Sofa 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:26.159 Dofa because the fact it's only got one video. You know, 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:29.400 you hear of celebrities tipping off the paparazzi about where 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:33.440 they're gonna be. I feel like someone has tipped them off, 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:36.320 or this account is somehow connected to Adis Paul because 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:39.160 everyone's talking about it, and we all know with TikTok, 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:41.320 the more people that talk about you, the more views, 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:43.559 the more money you're gonna get. But perhaps this person 0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:46.200 who spotted all the clues is just a normal person 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:49.680 that doesn't have a backup account or a finster and 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:52.400 wanted to share what they'd found without putting it through 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:54.760 their own name. I get that, but the likelihood of 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:58.120 it taking off if this account has no video, yeah, 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:00.400 this is pretty well that their first video has attracted 0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:03.920 two million views. I mean, Adis is a mastermind at 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:07.760 attracting attention online and staying relevant. I do think it 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:11.800 could possibly be planted, because why would you be screenshotting 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:14.960 yourself when you're on FaceTime. Oh, here's this random furniture. 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:17.440 Could you take a screenshot at any moment of the furniture? 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:21.160 He was clearly talking to Sophia about this furniture and 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:23.280 probably thought, fuck, this is a good time to get 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:26.240 a bit of attention. And rumors have been circulating that 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:29.039 the two have become close after the Stacks event, So 0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:33.200 there have been videos circulating showing Adis following Sofa Dofa 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:36.400 around the event. They've also started engaging with each other's 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:40.159 content on social media, and it's very good timing for 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:43.400 both Sofia and Adas as they've both recently parted ways 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:46.480 from their long term partners and the polls have often 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:49.440 been described as TikTok royalty. So I feel like with 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:53.839 Sophia being TikTok's it girl, this is a perfect coupling. Now, 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:58.160 Adis's ex, mikaela Tester, has not stayed quiet on these rumors. 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:00.680 I do love it when she drops it, and because 0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:03.120 it's always around the time, there is some drama and 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:06.160 she usually breadcrumbs her followers with little clues about what's 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:08.680 really going on. So she got sent in a question 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:12.800 asking thoughts on Sofa dofa now. She tagged Sofa dofa 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:15.000 in the post and said that's my bestie and I 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:17.600 love her. She also shared an old photo of what 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:20.000 appeared to be Sofa Dofah sitting on a hotel bed. 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:22.560 I assume to show that they are pretty close the 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:25.920 fact that they're sharing hotels together now. A user responded 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:28.560 to the post saying, but that makes no sense. Haven't 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:32.240 you seen dot dot dot. Mikayla then wrote, don't believe 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:35.400 everything you see. Perhaps these guys are all just friends, 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:38.000 though I mean, they all are influencers, they all go 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:40.720 to the same events. It's likely that they've all met together. 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:44.520 And maybe Michayla is fine with Sophia hanging out with Adis. 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:47.840 Here's a plot twist. If they're all friends, maybe Sophia 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:51.840 is in Adis's ear about getting back with Mikayla. Oh 0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:54.760 my god, I'm sorry for is anyone else not seeing 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:57.080 what's clearly happening? It's like the high Paths where they 0:07:57.080 --> 0:07:59.320 all pretend that they're in relationships and they break up 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:02.640 to get more following. Could that not just be the answer? 0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:05.920 Could this whole breakoup between Addis and Mchayla be orchestrated 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:08.120 then they're introducing Sofi dofa into it. 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:09.760 I mean, it's very clever if it is. 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:11.920 Well, both of them just have come out of long 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:15.240 term relationships. So maybe they're, you know, on Seinfeld when 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:17.840 they're just there, you know, they're being an ear for 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:20.600 each other and suddenly they get together. Well. I think 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:22.800 that Mikayla was a bit upset that she wasn't getting 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:25.360 much attention out of this because she started staring up 0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:27.440 rumors of her own in the Q and A. So 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:30.320 she was asked to show a recent photo in her 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:33.840 camera reel. So she decided to show a photo of 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:37.280 her on FaceTime with a mystery guy. And I don't 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:40.440 know who the mystery guy is. It's a quite attractive 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:43.200 looking young guy, dark hair. So if any listeners know 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:45.959 who this is, hit us up in the DMS tell us. 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:49.839 Surely the TikToker who investigated the Addis poll staff will 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:51.120 find out who this guy is. 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:53.960 I can believe I even thought I'm getting back together 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:55.840 with you, we are so over. 0:08:57.840 --> 0:08:58.440 Phone romo. 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:01.520 Breakup TikTok is a new corner of the Internet full 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:04.000 of tears, sad music, and journeys. 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:04.600 Of self discovery. 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:07.640 Content creators in this space say they aren't doing it 0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:09.880 for the big bucks. They're doing it to help others 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:13.240 recover from their own heartache. Sophie, I feel like this 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:15.360 type of content would have been appearing on your for 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:17.520 you page back in the day when you went through 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:19.560 a nasty breakup. Yeah, I feel like I would have 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:21.439 watched it, but I don't think I would have created 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:23.720 my own. And a lot of these women are using 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:27.000 TikTok as a diary about their breakup, so they're really 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:31.560 going into the raw, nitty gritty about what happened. But generally, 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:33.920 when you break up with someone or you get dumped, 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:37.520 I feel like usually Instagram is used to show that 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:40.480 person how well you're doing, how you've moved on, how 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:43.240 your new breakup haircut's going to make people jealous. I 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:45.720 don't feel like your air your dirty laundry and put 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:48.120 up how upset you are. Yeah, can you imagine being 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:50.280 the X and on your fore you page, it's your 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:52.839 ex popping up by saying you know how terrible they're 0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:54.880 going in the breakup? Yeah, well that's the thing. These 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:57.360 people are using it to talk about these heart wrenching 0:09:57.400 --> 0:10:01.560 moments and documenting how they're living alone and how they're 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:03.880 moving on from this person. I would just find the 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:07.319 whole thing mortifying. Surely the exes are blocked. You'd want 0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:08.960 to go off on TikTok as well, wouldn't you if 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:11.720 you wanted to monetize that shit, not just go off? Well, 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:14.520 there are many TikTok accounts that are blowing up from 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:17.040 content like this. So a twenty four year old woman 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:20.280 in the US called Bridget split with her boyfriend after 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:24.320 four years and instantly became a breakup influencer overnight, with 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:27.560 her following growing from three hundred followers to twenty three 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:30.839 thousand followers. So, prior to the breakup, she was sharing 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:34.760 openly about her relationship online and use TikTok as a diary, 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:38.440 so her now ex wasn't surprised or resistant when she 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:41.959 asked if she could film their last few interactions. Is 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:44.040 it just me or do we think the obsession with 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:47.800 capturing everything actually led to Bridges breakup. You would actually 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:50.120 think that that would be the cause of the breakup, 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:52.360 but I had a look into bridges content and it 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:56.040 appears that it was actually pretty mutual between them and 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:58.040 the stuff she was sharing. 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:02.280 So she actually shared a page packing. 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:04.280 Up her things from their shared apartment, and then she 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:07.400 had this overlay of them in better times. It's very 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:11.120 emotional music. She even took it a step further filming 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:14.600 their final farewell to each other, and also she set 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:18.600 up a camera to film them discussing basically their breakup 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:20.679 and what was going to happen, whether they were in 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:23.640 fact going to leave, Like it's crazy. Do you think 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:25.800 that just do you think that just validated his decision? 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:28.880 He's like, yeah, this is excellent. I feel like she's 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:31.120 been watching too much Gary Vee. You know when he's 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:34.640 like document everything. This is probably something that you wouldn't document. 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:36.800 Can you imagine the heat of the moment where you're 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:39.600 having an argument, where you're potentially about to break up? Oh, 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:42.760 do you mind if I set my camera up in 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:46.600 the corner to like, what on earth is going on? 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:49.000 And there has been a bit of a mixed reception 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:52.079 in the comments section on some of these breakup accounts. 0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:55.640 One user wrote, our generation is so messed up? Why 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:58.680 would you film it? Another wrote, you really have no 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.920 boundaries and I tend to really with these people well. 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:04.960 In response to the negativity, Bridget said, despite the haters, 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:07.920 this content can be a lifeline for some viewers. People 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:10.720 kept dming me and asking me for help. I decided 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:13.000 to bring everyone together and now I have close to 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:15.840 three hundred and forty people in eleven active group chats 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:18.599 on Instagram. The thing is, though, she says that you 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:20.760 know she's trying to help everyone, but why was she 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:23.240 filming in the moment of the breakup because she didn't 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:25.319 know that this is what it would lead to surely, 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:28.720 or is she looking for a niche and decided, well, 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:31.040 maybe we will break up and I'll be big on 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:34.360 breakup TikTok. I don't get how the X is happy 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:37.160 for this stuff to be online, because apparently Bridget said 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:39.640 that she showed the X before the video went out, 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:42.040 and he was very supportive and said that, you know, 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:45.120 it's something to help her heal from the breakup. And 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:49.280 it did become more apparent though that as these videos 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:51.880 started blowing up he did feel a little bit more 0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:54.439 uncomfortable about it, and said that he couldn't watch them 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:57.960 anymore because it was stopping him from moving on. I mean, 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:02.200 can you imagine if your ex partner was creating content 0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:05.280 about your breakup and talking about how heartbroken they were, 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:07.720 how much they missed you, as if you wouldn't tune 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:09.720 in to watch it, I would have the popcorn at 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:11.920 the end. Now, Sophie, can you imagine if you're the 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:15.040 girl that then dates this guy after all the material 0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:19.240 you have looking into his life, what's his past mistakes? Yeah? Well. 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:22.800 Another breakup influencer by the name of Victoria Clark said 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:25.680 that she didn't ask her X for permission to post 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:28.000 the content. She said she did her best to try 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:31.920 and use footage and pictures where he wasn't easily identifiable. 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:34.600 She did say, though, that she had to come clean 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:38.280 to him about the videos once they started getting hundreds 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:41.240 of thousands of views. Now the X said he was 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:43.640 very upset by the videos of her crying, and he 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:46.439 said he wished he didn't use their breakup as content, 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:50.280 but apparently totally understood why So, what happens after you've 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:53.680 moved on and you're a breakup influencer. Well, actually, Bridget 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:57.440 has started to share videos like sort of diary videos 0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:00.439 about her first date since the breakup happens. If you 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:02.160 want to get back with your X, like there's no 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:03.679 way they're going to get back to you after that, 0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:06.319 that would be perfect content for them. Imagine the views 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:08.080 on that. It's like if you bitch about an X 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:09.720 and then you're like, oh, yeah, actually we decided to 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:10.679 get back together. 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:12.360 And everyone's just laid the boot in. 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:14.720 The whole thing is I can see the merit in 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:18.199 creating a space where people are talking about their feelings 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:20.400 after the breakup, and you know, it's a community where 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:22.800 people can talk about their own heartache and you know, 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:26.720 you're seeing the reality of a breakup. However, I think 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:30.760 that the recording of those private moments for clicks is 0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:31.880 just gross. 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:34.360 Yeah, but are they making money off it? 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:37.280 Like? Is there a way to monetize this type of content? 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:39.120 I definitely think that there is a way. Can you 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:42.600 think of all the brands, like for instance, new dating apps, Yeah, 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:45.600 that you could be pushed a tissue brands and bumble. 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:49.920 Now, I have to say to you that actually I've 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:52.560 been working at home since I was twenty seven, So 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:54.720 I haven't really got dressed for decades. 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:57.720 My Kitchen Rules has returned to our screens after a 0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:01.440 long two year hiatus, and it's all looking a little different. 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:04.760 Amy even you tuned in to see what it was like. Yeah, 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:07.720 and I haven't watched MKR for years, but the inclusion 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:12.040 of Nigella Lawson sucked me into the show. So Nigella 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:15.960 of course replaced Pete Evans and she's appearing alongside old 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:19.680 favorite Manu for Dell and there were some noticeable changes 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:20.600 to the show. 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:22.840 So the show was actually acted. 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:26.760 In twenty twenty following terrible ratings, and people might remember 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:29.960 the show came up against Married at First Sight and 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:32.440 Manu has said in recent interviews that there was a 0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:36.280 real push by production to make the show more dramatic 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:39.600 in order to try and beat MATHS. So I think 0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:42.160 it was dramatic to begin with with all the villains, 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:45.160 and I know, but Manu claims that the show became 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:48.880 more about contestants than the food, and now this season 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:50.000 it's back to basics. 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:51.360 It's all about the food. 0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:54.320 So it really appears they're trying to make it more 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:57.080 like Master Chef, So a real feel good moment where 0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:59.280 the whole family can come together. I reckon it could 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:02.320 be off the back of Lego Masters. Oh my god, 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:06.640 I said Lego in Australia. In Adelaide, everyone says Lego 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:09.760 off the back of Lego Masters doing so well because 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:12.160 everyone loved the fact that as a family that you 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:14.960 could tune in, you had Hamish Blake who was so funny. 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:17.480 It was all very lighthearted and really you just felt 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:20.680 good after watching it. I think Nigella's inclusion is also 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:24.040 for those foodies because we grew up watching Nigella and 0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:26.480 as you said, Amy, I am drawn to watch the 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:28.400 show just to see her talk about. 0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:29.120 Food exactly now. 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:31.240 In terms of the contestants, they seemed a lot more 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:33.880 wholesome than we're used to and it does appear to 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:37.280 be one couple that's kind of earmarked as the villains. However, 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:38.960 I don't think they're going to get the treatment like 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:40.880 we've seen in the past. I think it's going to 0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:43.440 be pretty feel good and, as you said, focus a 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:46.320 lot more on the food rather than creating fights between 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:49.120 the contestants. Have you guys noticed though, that usually the 0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:52.440 people who would be the villains on the show, they're 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:55.720 now becoming the most popular characters. I mean you look 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:58.840 at Chatfield, Yeah, I mean you look at Love Island 0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:02.240 with Eck and Suit. She would have been the biggest 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:04.360 villain a couple of years ago. She would have been 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:05.800 what they can't vote them out, but they would have 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:08.800 tried to get rid of her. But everyone's so wise 0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:11.480 now to TV shows that everyone loved her for creating 0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:13.640 drama and actually making the show interesting. 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:14.200 Yeah. 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:17.080 I think that people now understand the dynamic of these 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:20.159 reality TV shows and they want people that are going to, 0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:22.960 as you said, create drama, be a little bit more interesting. 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:26.080 So I'm intrigued to see how this rates, because, to 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:29.040 be honest, I will probably tune in for Nigella, but 0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:31.080 it appears she's only going to be on half the 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:34.120 show anyway, so I wonder if the ratings will drop 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:35.879 off as soon as she is off our screen. Well, 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:38.240 the ratings have come out for the first night, and 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:41.159 the show was up against The Block and the Mask Singer. 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:43.600 So the Block won the ratings with seven hundred and 0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:46.879 forty seven thousand metro viewers. The Mass Singer came in 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:49.800 second with five hundred and ninety eight thousand, and not 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:54.200 far behind was MKR with five hundred and three thousand. However, 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:58.160 despite ranking third, there's been so much talk online about 0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:01.000 Nigella being the savior of this show, so it's expected 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:04.040 that it's going to go up even further in the ratings. 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:07.800 Okay, so I'm not about to air my dirty launching 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:10.840 on social media. I don't think it's appropriate to talk 0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:12.800 about some things. I don't want to put anyone in 0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:17.080 a negative light, especially the father of my kids. No matter, like, 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:19.879 no matter what, I'm just I'm not gonna do that. 0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:24.360 But basically, in response to the car thing that he's 0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:26.439 talking about, that's not the full story. 0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:27.480 It's not true at all. 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:31.440 Like, just don't believe what you see on social media, 0:18:31.520 --> 0:18:31.760 you goes. 0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:35.520 Reees Hawkins made a surprise appearance at his daughter's birthday 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:39.240 party over the weekend. Saskia, who he shares with Tammy Hembro, 0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:43.280 celebrated her sixth birthday in style with a Mawana themed 0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:46.879 party on the Gold Coast. Reese's appearance comes amid rumors 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:49.680 he's broken up with his wife London. Now, kay, can 0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:52.680 you tell us more? Well, it's a second time in 0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:55.479 two months that Reese has posted with his two children 0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:58.760 he shares with his ex Tammy hembro So. Back in May, 0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:01.560 He's surprised followers when he shared a photo of him 0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:05.320 with Saskia and Wolf back in Australia. Now, Reese has 0:19:05.359 --> 0:19:08.359 been a notable absence in his two oldest children's lives 0:19:08.400 --> 0:19:11.000
