WEBVTT - UNPACKED REALITY - MASTERCHEF AUSTRALIA - NAT

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:01.760
<v Speaker 1>It's in the news today, but it was actually on

0:00:01.800 --> 0:00:05.360
<v Speaker 1>TV Reload the podcast last week. Thereby, Hey guys, welcome

0:00:05.400 --> 0:00:07.200
<v Speaker 1>back to TV Reload. I want to thank you for

0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:09.880
<v Speaker 1>clicking and downloading on today's episode with the winner of

0:00:10.000 --> 0:00:14.000
<v Speaker 1>mastershef Australia twenty twenty four. I have a terrible cold

0:00:14.120 --> 0:00:16.520
<v Speaker 1>that might make me sound like a drag queen at times,

0:00:16.800 --> 0:00:19.640
<v Speaker 1>and we did have a limited time with Nat as

0:00:19.680 --> 0:00:23.360
<v Speaker 1>she was jam packed with media requests. However, it was

0:00:23.400 --> 0:00:26.160
<v Speaker 1>the grand finale on Tuesday night that saw Nat up

0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:30.159
<v Speaker 1>against Tasmanian butcher Pezzer, two very different cooks, each with

0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:33.360
<v Speaker 1>a unique set of strengths. NAT certainly took some risks

0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:36.120
<v Speaker 1>in that finale, but as they say, high risk comes

0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:39.600
<v Speaker 1>high reward as Nat impressed the judges, scoring nines across

0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:42.440
<v Speaker 1>the board, totaling thirty six points in the first round,

0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:46.400
<v Speaker 1>Pezza falling just a little bit behind with thirty three points,

0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:49.280
<v Speaker 1>giving Nat the three point lead heading into round two.

0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:52.879
<v Speaker 1>The two very emotional cooks scored equal scores in the

0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:55.320
<v Speaker 1>second challenge and the rest is history.

0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:56.319
<v Speaker 2>As they say, with.

0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:59.160
<v Speaker 1>An overall three point lead to our winner, we will

0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:02.040
<v Speaker 1>unpack the nail biting finale and find out who Nat

0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:04.520
<v Speaker 1>decided to watch the result with as it played out

0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:07.640
<v Speaker 1>on national TV right across Australia. There is a great

0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:10.319
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to talk about what it was like cooking with

0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:13.480
<v Speaker 1>so much emotion in the kitchen. In that last episode,

0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:16.320
<v Speaker 1>we will talk about who should come back for All Stars.

0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:19.200
<v Speaker 1>We will also dive deep into the bonds between the

0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:22.360
<v Speaker 1>cast and think you'll just hear the excitement in NAT's.

0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:24.360
<v Speaker 2>Voice, which is actually quite endearing to listen to.

0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:27.399
<v Speaker 1>There is actually so much to unpack with Nat, so

0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:30.720
<v Speaker 1>sit back and relax as we unpack her winning experience

0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:32.880
<v Speaker 1>in the Master Chef Australian Kitchen.

0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:35.720
<v Speaker 3>Now, yes, how are you?

0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:36.759
<v Speaker 2>Congratulations?

0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:40.839
<v Speaker 4>Thank you, thank you so much. I'm feeling good. Still

0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:43.560
<v Speaker 4>pinching myself, but you know it's happened.

0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:44.280
<v Speaker 1>Well.

0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:47.280
<v Speaker 2>I guess everyone wants to know how was last night like?

0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:48.000
<v Speaker 2>What was it like?

0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:50.800
<v Speaker 3>Honestly, last night was pretty surreal.

0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:55.640
<v Speaker 4>I guess I thought I was definitely in for a

0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:59.000
<v Speaker 4>doozy because I'm not a dessert person and I'm not

0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:01.760
<v Speaker 4>a pressure tized person or am I recipe person?

0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:02.480
<v Speaker 3>So that was hard?

0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:04.800
<v Speaker 1>And how did you go? What were you doing while

0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 1>you were watching it. Did you get to choose who?

0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:08.080
<v Speaker 1>Did you have people over to your house? Did you

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:09.160
<v Speaker 1>have a viewing party? Like?

0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:10.239
<v Speaker 2>How did that go down?

0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 4>I definitely had a viewing party. I had it in

0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:17.120
<v Speaker 4>Geelong with my brother's partners, family and my family and a.

0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:18.280
<v Speaker 3>Few other friends.

0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:21.000
<v Speaker 4>But it was so wholesome, it was so nice. I

0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:22.840
<v Speaker 4>think if I had any more people, it would have

0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:25.840
<v Speaker 4>been really really hard, because it's like it's almost like

0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.880
<v Speaker 4>sensory overload, Like you're already overwhelmed by the fact that

0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:31.440
<v Speaker 4>you know with the results, and then with everything else

0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:34.040
<v Speaker 4>going on, it's just like it's insane.

0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:36.520
<v Speaker 1>Did you have a few drinks? Were you conscious of

0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:38.360
<v Speaker 1>getting up and facing the media today?

0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:39.280
<v Speaker 3>I did have a.

0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:42.400
<v Speaker 4>Few drinks, but I was very aware of the amount

0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:44.240
<v Speaker 4>of media I had to do today and I was like,

0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:45.440
<v Speaker 4>I need to be on my A game.

0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:47.640
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, there's a lot going on today. It's just

0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:49.919
<v Speaker 3>like back to back interviews.

0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:52.160
<v Speaker 1>Crazy and watching it back. Did it feel like you

0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:55.280
<v Speaker 1>could have a different perspective on how it actually went

0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:56.240
<v Speaker 1>down on the day.

0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:57.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm not really.

0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:00.200
<v Speaker 4>I feel like how I watched it was definitely how

0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:02.640
<v Speaker 4>it felt like I was. It was very stressful and

0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:05.240
<v Speaker 4>I wasn't really sure. You just never know, like because

0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:08.840
<v Speaker 4>I never saw what Pezz did, like what he dished up,

0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:11.280
<v Speaker 4>so I didn't know he had missing elements, and so

0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:14.240
<v Speaker 4>it was it was just crazy to watch and see

0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:17.160
<v Speaker 4>how it was tense because obviously you don't see like

0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:19.560
<v Speaker 4>everyone else as well, like the family watching and they

0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:21.000
<v Speaker 4>were very stressed out as well.

0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:23.600
<v Speaker 1>I think throughout the series. What's interesting about this show

0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:26.400
<v Speaker 1>is you're watching it with one narrative and then when

0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:29.200
<v Speaker 1>it was on the vision, you've got twenty plus narratives

0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:31.200
<v Speaker 1>that are happening. And it must be such an eye

0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:34.520
<v Speaker 1>opener to such a different perspective because all of these

0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:36.600
<v Speaker 1>narratives are playing at the same time and you've only

0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:39.080
<v Speaker 1>ever seen it through one you know, or two one lens.

0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:42.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, one hundred percent, and like only like seeing

0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:46.200
<v Speaker 4>the perspectives of everyone's dishes. Like the storytelling. I think

0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:49.560
<v Speaker 4>it's quite beautiful as well. So I love the like

0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:51.200
<v Speaker 4>it's it's so nice to see.

0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:53.320
<v Speaker 1>Well, there was rumors that you guys would find out,

0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:56.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, people were guessing when you would find out,

0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:58.240
<v Speaker 1>like did you have to wait and watch it with

0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:00.480
<v Speaker 1>the rest of Australia, And that's how you found out

0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:02.560
<v Speaker 1>or did they give you a phone call to the day,

0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:05.120
<v Speaker 1>like what happens with that? I mean I watched it

0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:09.520
<v Speaker 1>live last night and yeah, they I've got no fingernails left.

0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:11.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was very intense.

0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:15.200
<v Speaker 4>Honestly, it was hard to obviously keep it under wraps,

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:18.960
<v Speaker 4>but going to London helped a lot. It like completely

0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:21.680
<v Speaker 4>distracted me from like the home entire thing. I was

0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:24.560
<v Speaker 4>just completely removed from the home entire situation.

0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:25.760
<v Speaker 3>So it was perfect.

0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:29.960
<v Speaker 4>But like watching it last night was so so intense,

0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:33.279
<v Speaker 4>Like you could just feel the aura in the air.

0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:36.640
<v Speaker 4>It was just like everyone was just yeah, biting their nails,

0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:39.920
<v Speaker 4>especially when I screwed up in like quite a few

0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:43.360
<v Speaker 4>elements in the in the second round, I was like, oh, no.

0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:44.839
<v Speaker 2>Which way is this going to go?

0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:46.520
<v Speaker 1>I have a friend that lives in the north of

0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:48.680
<v Speaker 1>North of Melbourne and said that they ran to you

0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:49.920
<v Speaker 1>and they were like, well.

0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:51.720
<v Speaker 2>They were a big fan by the way, that already been.

0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:53.800
<v Speaker 1>And they were like texted me and said, just want

0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:56.240
<v Speaker 1>you to know run internet and she's just as amazing

0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:58.160
<v Speaker 1>in real life as she's on the television.

0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:01.239
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's I've been so conscious.

0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:03.200
<v Speaker 4>I've been running into so many people lately, or people

0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:05.719
<v Speaker 4>have been running to me quite a lot lately, and yeah,

0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:08.000
<v Speaker 4>I've been working at VOO and people have just been

0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:09.080
<v Speaker 4>losing their.

0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:11.120
<v Speaker 3>Mind every time they see me. And it's just such

0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:11.880
<v Speaker 3>a weird thing.

0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you just go from like no one and then

0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:18.200
<v Speaker 4>just go into becoming someone that everyone kind of knows,

0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:20.600
<v Speaker 4>and it's just it's an interesting feeling.

0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:23.120
<v Speaker 1>Is it a strange experience to both want to win

0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:26.120
<v Speaker 1>as hard as you both did? Because watching that finale,

0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:29.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, Pesar was so emotional at times, you know,

0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:29.880
<v Speaker 1>and that must.

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:33.520
<v Speaker 4>Be yeah, yeah, yeah, well Peasant, I like as much

0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:35.960
<v Speaker 4>as people think that were quite different, we're so so

0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:38.919
<v Speaker 4>similar in the way that we're so hard on ourselves

0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:40.960
<v Speaker 4>to put a lot of pressure on ourselves, and maybe

0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:43.440
<v Speaker 4>that's what got us to the end, because you know,

0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:46.560
<v Speaker 4>we were trying so hard, and it is emotional because

0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:50.880
<v Speaker 4>like you're so tired by the fifth fifty episode, you're

0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:54.840
<v Speaker 4>so exhausted, and same with like creating, like creatively, it's

0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:57.279
<v Speaker 4>so hard to think on your feet for that long,

0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:01.160
<v Speaker 4>and so it's it's like everything kind of boils down

0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:03.800
<v Speaker 4>to this one moment. And so when like our family

0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.960
<v Speaker 4>comes in and when like all the contestants come back,

0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:09.279
<v Speaker 4>it's like you can't really stop the emotions.

0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:11.000
<v Speaker 3>It just it just flows through.

0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Did you talk to PEZL last night? Did you get

0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:15.080
<v Speaker 1>on the blower and find out how he was going?

0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:16.559
<v Speaker 1>What was going on there?

0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:16.760
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.279
<v Speaker 3>Me? This is the thing that's amazing with men Peza.

0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:22.320
<v Speaker 4>We have very like I wouldn't say blase, but we

0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:27.000
<v Speaker 4>have such a good communication relationship where we just chat

0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:28.920
<v Speaker 4>like for a second. We don't have to we don't

0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:31.760
<v Speaker 4>have to like constantly be messaging each other and super nice,

0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:34.320
<v Speaker 4>where like you know, the other contestants might need the

0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:37.239
<v Speaker 4>validation constantly to be like, oh I've got your support

0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:39.720
<v Speaker 4>blah blah blah blah. But like men pees was so

0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:40.520
<v Speaker 4>it was so chill.

0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:41.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:43.240
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a good dynamic to have. And maybe

0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:46.720
<v Speaker 1>that's something about the type of personality that wins this show,

0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:46.919
<v Speaker 1>do you.

0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:47.360
<v Speaker 2>Know what I mean?

0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:49.720
<v Speaker 1>Like, maybe that's that's the way in which you both

0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:53.080
<v Speaker 1>can focus on maybe what's important and you know, taking

0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:54.520
<v Speaker 1>the noise out from other people.

0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:55.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, totally.

0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:57.800
<v Speaker 4>And then it's you need it, Like I am the

0:06:57.800 --> 0:06:59.680
<v Speaker 4>type of person who needs it as well. If I

0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:02.680
<v Speaker 4>were to, if I had to give all my energy

0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:04.679
<v Speaker 4>out constantly and work in hospital.

0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:05.240
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't.

0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:07.200
<v Speaker 4>I wouldn't be able to do it. Like, it's so hard.

0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:09.520
<v Speaker 4>There's always a line that you can't. You don't on

0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:12.480
<v Speaker 4>the cross when you're burning out socially because then you

0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:15.480
<v Speaker 4>start losing relationships with your friends and your family, so

0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:18.000
<v Speaker 4>like you have to really know how to balance it out.

0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:20.800
<v Speaker 4>And I feel like, because Pezzant and I are customer

0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:23.320
<v Speaker 4>facing people, we know how to do that, we know

0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:24.240
<v Speaker 4>when to switch off.

0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:25.520
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, I reckon.

0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:27.960
<v Speaker 4>That's definitely why we got to the end for sure,

0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:30.720
<v Speaker 4>Like just being able to focus and hyper focus as

0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:33.920
<v Speaker 4>well and allow ourselves to have that time to I

0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:36.960
<v Speaker 4>guess like rest and have peaceful moments.

0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:39.640
<v Speaker 1>What are your thoughts about the fact that this season,

0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:42.840
<v Speaker 1>right from the start, you were a fan favorite. No,

0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:45.200
<v Speaker 1>I think everyone felt as though you were going to

0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:46.880
<v Speaker 1>be in the finale. Like it didn't matter who I

0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:48.640
<v Speaker 1>spoke to, people were like, oh, well, that's going to

0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:50.320
<v Speaker 1>be in the finale. No one knew who that other

0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.520
<v Speaker 1>person was going to be. I personally know Harry, I

0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:57.640
<v Speaker 1>really did, But yeah, curious about your relationship with that

0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:01.160
<v Speaker 1>whole process because everyone was talking about being you. Is

0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:03.720
<v Speaker 1>it hard to sort of deflect people away, and what

0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:06.080
<v Speaker 1>did you use as like a tactic to sort of

0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:07.320
<v Speaker 1>throw people off.

0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:11.200
<v Speaker 4>It's actually really interesting because I found it really hard

0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:15.920
<v Speaker 4>because it was almost as if it discredited the hard

0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:20.000
<v Speaker 4>work that went into coming up with dishes, and everyone

0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:22.040
<v Speaker 4>thought I was so blusse about it, like like I

0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:24.720
<v Speaker 4>wasn't you know, everyone's got imposter syndrome. But I was

0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:26.640
<v Speaker 4>like every time people were telling me that I was

0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:29.120
<v Speaker 4>a favorite or like the best out of everyone, I

0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:31.480
<v Speaker 4>just never saw it as that. And that was really

0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:35.080
<v Speaker 4>annoying sometimes where I guess when people could tell me that,

0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:37.960
<v Speaker 4>it felt like I didn't have to try that hard

0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:40.400
<v Speaker 4>in order to win these challenges, Like everyone be like, oh,

0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:42.959
<v Speaker 4>you're miles ahead, and it's like it makes me feel

0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:46.079
<v Speaker 4>like I'm like just naturally good at it, but in reality,

0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:48.960
<v Speaker 4>like I studied quite a lot and like spending nights

0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:52.000
<v Speaker 4>and nights ahead just like trying to draw up dishes

0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:55.000
<v Speaker 4>and you know, I'm like dreaming about food. It's like

0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:57.560
<v Speaker 4>taking up all my time. And yeah, I think it

0:08:57.600 --> 0:08:59.520
<v Speaker 4>was really it was really hard from a pressure point

0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:03.480
<v Speaker 4>of view. Is well hitting the first episode with such

0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:06.000
<v Speaker 4>a like I just really hit in the nail there.

0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:09.240
<v Speaker 4>I feel like that put pressure on me from everyone.

0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:11.320
<v Speaker 4>It wasn't just from the judges, it was from like

0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:15.520
<v Speaker 4>the contestants. And I then put really high expectations for myself,

0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:18.240
<v Speaker 4>which you know, probably why I got so far and

0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:21.000
<v Speaker 4>one horn entire competition. But there was moments where like

0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:22.680
<v Speaker 4>I didn't know really you know when I.

0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:26.520
<v Speaker 3>Did those two dishes, I did two dishes in one challenge.

0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:27.760
<v Speaker 3>I tried to do two dishes.

0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:30.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, So that that episode so many people like, why

0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:32.520
<v Speaker 4>would you do that? It's so dumb, blah blah blah.

0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:34.480
<v Speaker 4>It's like, because when you hit a point, we have

0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:36.200
<v Speaker 4>so much pressure on yourself, you kind of like where

0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:39.080
<v Speaker 4>do I go from here? You just one dish became

0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:41.959
<v Speaker 4>not enough. I was like, if I could nail one dish,

0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:43.800
<v Speaker 4>I don't think that's gonna be good enough for ninety minutes,

0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:45.400
<v Speaker 4>So I'm gonna have to try and do two. So

0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:48.800
<v Speaker 4>it became such a like mental like push and pull

0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:49.320
<v Speaker 4>with me.

0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:50.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was hard.

0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:52.839
<v Speaker 1>I wonder whether or not you said as many clocks

0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:55.280
<v Speaker 1>in your real life as you did in that finale.

0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:57.520
<v Speaker 1>Like I just kept watching you setting all of those clocks,

0:09:57.600 --> 0:09:59.520
<v Speaker 1>and I was thinking, that's a really smart.

0:09:59.160 --> 0:09:59.480
<v Speaker 2>Thing to do.

0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:01.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm sure that everyone's sitting clocks in Master

0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Chef all the time.

0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:04.480
<v Speaker 2>We just don't see it as much. But is that

0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:06.080
<v Speaker 2>something you do in Is that sort of.

0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:10.080
<v Speaker 1>How methodical you are or how you control your time

0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:11.160
<v Speaker 1>in real life?

0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:11.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:15.160
<v Speaker 4>So my best friend Bronti, she saw how I function

0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:18.040
<v Speaker 4>when we were living together and she was so surprised,

0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:20.280
<v Speaker 4>and even like my families as well will see it.

0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:24.679
<v Speaker 4>I'm like organized chaos. Like my life is so chaotic ready.

0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:27.880
<v Speaker 4>I love being impulsive, but there's so many parts of

0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:30.800
<v Speaker 4>my life that needs to be quite strategic.

0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:32.679
<v Speaker 3>And methodical for me to be able to do.

0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:36.240
<v Speaker 4>The chaotic elements in my life. So I like my

0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:39.400
<v Speaker 4>diary is like planned to the tea. I do keep

0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:42.480
<v Speaker 4>timers everywhere, like I always on my phone. I've got

0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:46.800
<v Speaker 4>alarms for everything, and like I tire myself to do things.

0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:48.200
<v Speaker 3>And also it's something that.

0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:51.920
<v Speaker 4>I developed with coffee as well, like we time our coffees.

0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:54.560
<v Speaker 4>And I think a lot of people were like saying

0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:57.080
<v Speaker 4>that it was it was so unfair that I was.

0:10:57.120 --> 0:11:00.000
<v Speaker 4>So I guess like I worked like a chef essential

0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:02.359
<v Speaker 4>but like if you guys saw the level.

0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:03.800
<v Speaker 3>Of coffee that I would have to make.

0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:06.480
<v Speaker 4>And again, I've been making it for so long, and

0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:09.240
<v Speaker 4>I've been working at places where they're very very strict

0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:12.720
<v Speaker 4>and cleanliness an organization. You would see where it comes from,

0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:15.120
<v Speaker 4>because like we have to time every single thing, like

0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:17.720
<v Speaker 4>even our teas. We time the brew time and our teas.

0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:20.840
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, I just became really strategic with it. And

0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:23.280
<v Speaker 4>again I do do it with my life, like when

0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:25.520
<v Speaker 4>I wake up and if I have a lot of

0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:29.080
<v Speaker 4>things on, I will start putting a timer on every

0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:31.000
<v Speaker 4>single thing, like I have time in my car.

0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:32.960
<v Speaker 1>I kind of expected that was the answer you were

0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:34.960
<v Speaker 1>going to give me. Who was your biggest support? Out

0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:36.440
<v Speaker 1>of the rest of the cast? This was a very

0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:39.480
<v Speaker 1>dynamic cast, and I think that the friendship amongst all

0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:40.760
<v Speaker 1>of you was quite palpable.

0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:43.920
<v Speaker 2>We could see it. Yes, who was your biggest support?

0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:46.000
<v Speaker 3>My biggest support was definite.

0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:47.840
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if I could say one, but definitely

0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:51.079
<v Speaker 4>Dash and David for sure, Like hands down, those two

0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:55.040
<v Speaker 4>are the best people, Like I couldn't I could sit

0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.080
<v Speaker 4>there and silent, I could. They were there when they

0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:59.160
<v Speaker 4>need them, and I could just say it. I didn't

0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:01.280
<v Speaker 4>have to, like you know, sugarcoat it. I didn't have

0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:03.839
<v Speaker 4>to be like you know, it was there with the best.

0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:05.760
<v Speaker 2>What was the hardest cook that you had to do?

0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:06.760
<v Speaker 2>That's what I really want to know.

0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:09.680
<v Speaker 4>The hardest cook was definitely the Hong Kong cook, like

0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:11.920
<v Speaker 4>trying the mirror of the chef. I put so much

0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:15.560
<v Speaker 4>pressure on myself because it felt to me like it

0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:18.280
<v Speaker 4>was the best opportunity to really test my skill set

0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:22.280
<v Speaker 4>and my memory and being in an outdoor environment, in

0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:24.880
<v Speaker 4>such cold environment. And even though it was the hardest

0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:27.480
<v Speaker 4>challenge I have done, it was also the best one

0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:29.680
<v Speaker 4>and most pivotaal like moment.

0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:31.720
<v Speaker 1>Can you tell me what's the most bonkers thing you

0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:35.000
<v Speaker 1>read about yourself online? Did you read anything while the

0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:35.760
<v Speaker 1>show was playing.

0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:39.640
<v Speaker 4>My brother and his partner loves loves reading the comments,

0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:42.720
<v Speaker 4>and I do hear a lot of crazy stuff. The

0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:45.000
<v Speaker 4>one that I think I get the most and is

0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:47.880
<v Speaker 4>so funny and also kind of annoying, is that, like

0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:50.440
<v Speaker 4>so many people are arguing where I'm actually from, like

0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:51.560
<v Speaker 4>nationality wise.

0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:52.800
<v Speaker 3>It's like it's such a.

0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:55.000
<v Speaker 4>And it's so funny because that's what I talk about

0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:57.480
<v Speaker 4>in my first episode. I'm talking about how I'm always

0:12:57.480 --> 0:13:00.000
<v Speaker 4>torn between two cultures and like a lot of people

0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:03.720
<v Speaker 4>commenting on like the fact that I'm Tie and they're like,

0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:06.960
<v Speaker 4>Nut's definitely not Tie, and like, you know, other people

0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:08.640
<v Speaker 4>will be like, oh, she's definitely not Australian.

0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:10.760
<v Speaker 3>So would you say, I.

0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:13.199
<v Speaker 2>Said, why is that important to these people? Seriously? It's

0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:13.800
<v Speaker 2>so funny.

0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:15.319
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:18.760
<v Speaker 4>It's like people try and like take terror people get

0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:20.839
<v Speaker 4>territorial with their food. But it's like a lot of

0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:22.640
<v Speaker 4>people would be like, oh, that's not even a proper

0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:24.640
<v Speaker 4>this and this and this dish, and it's like always

0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:27.920
<v Speaker 4>coming from Westerners. It's like you guys aren't even tie.

0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:30.400
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, I don't.

0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:33.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's pretty wild. People are wild, you know.

0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:35.360
<v Speaker 1>One thing I wanted to ask you about was like,

0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:37.880
<v Speaker 1>if you could pick three people to return in an

0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:40.520
<v Speaker 1>All Stars, because they do bring people back on Master Chef,

0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:43.000
<v Speaker 1>could you just give me some names about people that

0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:45.280
<v Speaker 1>you think could do with a do over that we're

0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:48.480
<v Speaker 1>excellent this season, that could come back and possibly win

0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:50.080
<v Speaker 1>it if they had a second time.

0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:53.240
<v Speaker 3>Oh, definitely Dash and David.

0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:55.080
<v Speaker 4>I know, I'm just saying that because it's of my

0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:59.160
<v Speaker 4>favorites as well, but I readon they had break yeah,

0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:02.320
<v Speaker 4>and Harry har Sure, Harry just had like he definitely

0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:05.800
<v Speaker 4>had the guts to pull a win. But you know

0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:09.360
<v Speaker 4>it's again, it's one cook at a time, and sometimes

0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:10.400
<v Speaker 4>that's just not your cook.

0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:12.040
<v Speaker 3>So I would like to see that.

0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'm filling out my application to come to the

0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:17.600
<v Speaker 1>alumni dinner at Crank Casino. I'm from Melbourne, so I

0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:20.400
<v Speaker 1>look forward God, yes, being able to taste the food.

0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:23.040
<v Speaker 1>I would love Master Chef in twenty years time where

0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.200
<v Speaker 1>we have, you know, taste a vision where we could

0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:26.280
<v Speaker 1>taste a long with everyone.

0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:27.120
<v Speaker 2>That would be amazing.

0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:31.040
<v Speaker 3>Sure, that would be so cool. That's a great idea.

0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:33.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that was a great idea television. You know, just

0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:34.760
<v Speaker 1>to be able to smell some of that food you cooked.

0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:36.400
<v Speaker 1>That's all I'm now.

0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:37.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I've got it.

0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:39.520
<v Speaker 1>But what is something from behind the scenes, something that

0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:41.920
<v Speaker 1>from your behind the scenes, something that we as an

0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:45.080
<v Speaker 1>audience wouldn't know, but from your journey, something that the

0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:47.640
<v Speaker 1>audience probably didn't get a chance to see.

0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:49.720
<v Speaker 3>I guess like our hangouts in the green room.

0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:52.000
<v Speaker 4>I love love of the moments just before we were

0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:54.360
<v Speaker 4>about to go into a challenge, especially on an elimination day,

0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:57.720
<v Speaker 4>we would ge ourselves up and you know, meet Dash

0:14:57.800 --> 0:14:59.840
<v Speaker 4>David and I would like go and climb on this

0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:02.200
<v Speaker 4>folding and we would be doing chin ups, we'd be

0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:04.880
<v Speaker 4>doing like push ups, and we'd be blasting music.

0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:06.320
<v Speaker 3>Even between tastings.

0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:09.200
<v Speaker 4>Sometimes you would like it's like almost you're about to

0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:11.320
<v Speaker 4>go for a run. You're just like geeing yourself up,

0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:14.160
<v Speaker 4>like trying to manifest the fact that you've done well,

0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:15.800
<v Speaker 4>and everyone's like supporting each other.

0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:19.160
<v Speaker 3>And I used to make chatter boxes as well as.

0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:22.320
<v Speaker 4>Ask Master Chef contestants really deep questions to like get

0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:25.480
<v Speaker 4>them um, I guess, like distracted so that they don't

0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:28.320
<v Speaker 4>have to think about food, because sometimes you're just so anxious.

0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:30.000
<v Speaker 3>When you're waiting for a verdict. So it's niceting the

0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:32.520
<v Speaker 3>call themselves out of that headspace for a bit.

0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:35.040
<v Speaker 2>That's a podcast in itself. Net I think you just

0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:37.760
<v Speaker 2>as well.

0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:40.120
<v Speaker 4>I mean it's an everyone calls it the NAT questions,

0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:42.800
<v Speaker 4>such a typical NAT question thing, Like when I'm asking

0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:45.120
