WEBVTT - MINI: Britt & Laura SPILL on the insane TV application process 🌹

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Do you know what's starting very soon something that I

0:00:03.640 --> 0:00:06.840
<v Speaker 1>am particularly excited about. What try to guess come at

0:00:06.840 --> 0:00:07.440
<v Speaker 1>me with something.

0:00:07.640 --> 0:00:09.559
<v Speaker 2>Oh god, I don't know your period.

0:00:09.720 --> 0:00:12.840
<v Speaker 1>No, it's Maths, guys, Married at first Sight, And I

0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:14.640
<v Speaker 1>know out of you lot you guys don't watch it,

0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:17.159
<v Speaker 1>but I'm obsessed and I've watched every season and I

0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:21.040
<v Speaker 1>just am sick for the drama because there's something fundamentally

0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:23.079
<v Speaker 1>wrong with me. But what I wanted to tell you

0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:25.599
<v Speaker 1>guys about is that recently there was this woman on TikTok.

0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:28.920
<v Speaker 1>Her name is Julia. She created a TikTok which was

0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:32.519
<v Speaker 1>all around the interview process for Maths. So she was

0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:34.440
<v Speaker 1>one of the contenders that were in the running for

0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:38.040
<v Speaker 1>this year's Maths. She was like shortlisted for twenty twenty four,

0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:40.479
<v Speaker 1>but she decided last minute that she didn't want to

0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:42.800
<v Speaker 1>do it. Now, she kind of had this bait and

0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:45.040
<v Speaker 1>switch because she made it all the way through the process.

0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:47.479
<v Speaker 1>She got to do all of the interviews, she did

0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:51.320
<v Speaker 1>all of the paperwork, and it's such a long journey

0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:54.080
<v Speaker 1>like towards like so when you're doing these interview processes,

0:00:54.120 --> 0:00:55.960
<v Speaker 1>there's so much time and there's so much information that

0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:59.440
<v Speaker 1>kind of you get you get exposed to, and she

0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:01.680
<v Speaker 1>decided that she was going to share it, so she

0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:05.200
<v Speaker 1>created this TikTok. It went viral, and then we were

0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:07.039
<v Speaker 1>going to get her on to talk about it today,

0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:10.560
<v Speaker 1>and now she has changed her mind because of legal ramifications.

0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:13.000
<v Speaker 1>The TikTok has gone down and no longer is she

0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:14.959
<v Speaker 1>going to speak about it. But some of the some

0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:16.480
<v Speaker 1>of the things and the hoops that they have to

0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 1>jump through the participants is pretty hairy, and I would

0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:22.080
<v Speaker 1>love to unpack, like what is it that's required of

0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:23.320
<v Speaker 1>these mass contestants?

0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:23.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:29.480
<v Speaker 2>I love that she was like almost so at first sight.

0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:30.240
<v Speaker 3>Like, well, that's what it was, right, I personally don't

0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:32.240
<v Speaker 3>think she gave us that much information. Like I know

0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:35.720
<v Speaker 3>everyone's frothing this video that this tell all TikTok, But

0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:38.880
<v Speaker 3>from what I can see, all she said was it

0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:40.800
<v Speaker 3>was an interview where they made sure I was a citizen.

0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:44.000
<v Speaker 3>They did an STI check, which you know that's not

0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:46.520
<v Speaker 3>rocket science to do that everywhere, and then there was

0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:48.160
<v Speaker 3>just one line that she said where I was like,

0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:49.840
<v Speaker 3>are you just trying to tell us that you speak

0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:52.120
<v Speaker 3>five languages? Because one of the things she said was

0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:55.920
<v Speaker 3>the producer said to me, Julia, you have three university

0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 3>degrees and you speak five languages. Are you sure you're

0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 3>going to find your intellectual eco on this show? Like

0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:03.800
<v Speaker 3>that's got nothing to do with anything, that's not a.

0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:04.880
<v Speaker 4>Crazy audition process.

0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:08.320
<v Speaker 1>No, I disagree. I think that this is her showing

0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:10.840
<v Speaker 1>how from the very get go they try and manipulate

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:12.720
<v Speaker 1>you into trying to figure out, Okay, are you a

0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:14.000
<v Speaker 1>girl's girl? Are you going to fight?

0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:14.680
<v Speaker 2>Anyway?

0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:16.440
<v Speaker 1>We have Brent on the line now. Brent was from

0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:19.360
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty two when he was on the show Mass

0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:22.280
<v Speaker 1>he was partnered with Tamara. If anyone, if you remember

0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:25.760
<v Speaker 1>and cast your minds back to this, Brent, Hello.

0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:29.880
<v Speaker 5>Okay, oh okay, I want the four one one on this.

0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:32.920
<v Speaker 5>Do you like, what was your experience like when you

0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:36.360
<v Speaker 5>were going through the application process and now with the

0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:38.600
<v Speaker 5>beauty of Hindsight? Do you think that there were some

0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:42.000
<v Speaker 5>things in the application process that were a little bit dubious?

0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:44.760
<v Speaker 4>No, I actually don't think it was dubious for me.

0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:46.600
<v Speaker 4>I was giving out it because I was like, Okay,

0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:51.760
<v Speaker 4>she's quite smart. Without divulging too much, they really play

0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:53.280
<v Speaker 4>it well. I mean, first of all, they want to

0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:55.120
<v Speaker 4>make sure that you're not, you know, a bit of

0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:58.600
<v Speaker 4>a nightcase, and then secondly that you're I guess if

0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:00.799
<v Speaker 4>they're they're doing it the right way. They want to

0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:04.000
<v Speaker 4>ensure that you're going to bring entertainment to TV, I mean,

0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 4>which is probably the smartest thing. I guess. They really

0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:10.520
<v Speaker 4>are good in trying to pair up your personality and

0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:13.519
<v Speaker 4>what you would be like, I guess under pressure and

0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:17.120
<v Speaker 4>that's kind of how they mix and match, which I

0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:19.880
<v Speaker 4>think is brilliant considering we do get good TV out

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:20.320
<v Speaker 4>of the show.

0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:23.240
<v Speaker 3>But Brent, I'm thinking back to when I was on

0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:25.760
<v Speaker 3>the Bachelor. Of my audition, I had to do some

0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:28.360
<v Speaker 3>crazy things. They made us line up in front of

0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:31.760
<v Speaker 3>each other, like all the girls and put ourselves where

0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:33.320
<v Speaker 3>we thought the best looking in the best dress.

0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:35.280
<v Speaker 2>Was like, really choose ourselves and.

0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:37.840
<v Speaker 3>Put ourselves in the line, and then look at each

0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:39.920
<v Speaker 3>other and tell each other what we didn't like about

0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:42.640
<v Speaker 3>each other. It was brutal. Is that kind of stuff

0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:43.720
<v Speaker 3>happening in the maths?

0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 2>Auditions give us the juice?

0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 4>Well not really, I mean that sounds quite brutal in itself.

0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:52.680
<v Speaker 4>I think more it was they're trying to see what

0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:55.080
<v Speaker 4>you're willing to do interesting in terms of, you know,

0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:58.720
<v Speaker 4>how you have to choose the faces of certain people.

0:03:58.760 --> 0:03:59.880
<v Speaker 4>I mean, we had to do it in the show.

0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:03.320
<v Speaker 4>You have to put the people in lining, You've got.

0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:06.240
<v Speaker 2>To rank your yeah, the partner, yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:09.440
<v Speaker 4>So they do stuff like that. But I mean, I

0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:11.240
<v Speaker 4>guess you know what I think. I think they just

0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:16.160
<v Speaker 4>want to see how far you're willing to to to

0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:19.960
<v Speaker 4>poor yeah, and you will push back, and I guess

0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:23.080
<v Speaker 4>to see how brittle you can be with your honest answers.

0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:25.200
<v Speaker 2>Brent. I've had friends that have been on different reality

0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.560
<v Speaker 2>shows and they've told me that, I mean, legally, part

0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:29.560
<v Speaker 2>of the process is you have to be provided a

0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:31.880
<v Speaker 2>therapist or someone you can talk to back end at

0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:34.200
<v Speaker 2>these shows to I mean, if you're struggling, which we've

0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:36.760
<v Speaker 2>learned in the press that these contestants do struggle, you

0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:39.520
<v Speaker 2>can go to and canfide in backs behind the scenes.

0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:41.159
<v Speaker 2>But a friend who's been on the show has told

0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:43.640
<v Speaker 2>me that the therapists then go to the producers and

0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:45.880
<v Speaker 2>fill them in on all the issues that you're having,

0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:48.600
<v Speaker 2>which then just get cycled back into the show, which

0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:51.360
<v Speaker 2>I think is psychopathic. Is that something that you experienced?

0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:54.280
<v Speaker 4>Is that really I mean, it sounds likes something that

0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:57.160
<v Speaker 4>would probably happen, but well, they definitely need someone to

0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:59.400
<v Speaker 4>speak to at times. I guess you could have vent

0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:02.560
<v Speaker 4>and get your chest and whatnot. So I don't know

0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:05.400
<v Speaker 4>when then they report back. I definitely have no idea,

0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:07.200
<v Speaker 4>but I definitely had to vent a few times.

0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:09.440
<v Speaker 2>Well yeah, Britainlaurae, you've been on the Bachelor, did is

0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:10.320
<v Speaker 2>that something that happened?

0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, I mean my experience was seven years ago,

0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:15.760
<v Speaker 1>and when we were on the Bachelor, that's exactly what happened.

0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:18.360
<v Speaker 1>You had a therapist, a psychologist who you could go

0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:21.520
<v Speaker 1>and you had unlimited access to, but no one told

0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:23.360
<v Speaker 1>you that when you were speaking to them, the things

0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:25.680
<v Speaker 1>that you talk to them about it's not private that

0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:27.640
<v Speaker 1>that stuff can filter back through to producers.

0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:29.040
<v Speaker 2>And so you have this.

0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:31.479
<v Speaker 1>Moment where you think, Okay, I have this tiny little

0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:33.680
<v Speaker 1>I have this piece of time, and I had this

0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:35.840
<v Speaker 1>person that I can you know, talk to about how

0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:39.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm feeling, and really nobody and nothing is safe in

0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:39.680
<v Speaker 1>that environment.

0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:42.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think. I think at the same point, I

0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:45.480
<v Speaker 4>don't think i'd been the vault in too much, Tom regardless,

0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:49.440
<v Speaker 4>because they want enterity. I'm like yeah, I don't know

0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:53.039
<v Speaker 4>if I'm going to tell you just how far my

0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:54.160
<v Speaker 4>thoughts are going right now.

0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:56.640
<v Speaker 1>But Brent, you even said earlier you said, you know,

0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:59.560
<v Speaker 1>without divulging too much, now, you would have had to

0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:01.880
<v Speaker 1>have signed a non disclosure agreement saying like we did

0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:04.240
<v Speaker 1>back in the day. But do you actually think that

0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:07.960
<v Speaker 1>the producers and the production company would ever sue someone

0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:10.400
<v Speaker 1>or hold someone financially liable for the things they talk about?

0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.240
<v Speaker 4>That's a tough one. Will we will had these conversations

0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:15.880
<v Speaker 4>before anyone in reality TV to see, you know, whether

0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:18.080
<v Speaker 4>they really would. And I think, I guess if you

0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:20.640
<v Speaker 4>really really are the person that throws off an entire

0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:24.400
<v Speaker 4>season out that causes them that much about house, why

0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:26.720
<v Speaker 4>is probably? I mean, look, if I was in the

0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:29.880
<v Speaker 4>business aspective, I probably would too, because there's a lot

0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:32.760
<v Speaker 4>of people out there just talking and then give me

0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:35.840
<v Speaker 4>out all the information and can't help themselves. I reckon they.

0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:37.719
<v Speaker 2>Would, you know what I find interesting? And for you

0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:40.280
<v Speaker 2>and for you Laura and you Britt Laura, you you won,

0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:42.719
<v Speaker 2>you got Maddie j Like, good for you. It's beautiful.

0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:46.320
<v Speaker 2>We're all jealous. Brit hate to bring it up. You

0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:49.240
<v Speaker 2>lost in a really big way. The honey Badger didn't

0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:52.320
<v Speaker 2>pick you. Did they run up to you, Britt and go, Laura,

0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:54.400
<v Speaker 2>they gave you a ring of flowers? But Britt, did

0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:56.080
<v Speaker 2>they run up to you and go sign this? Sign this,

0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:58.760
<v Speaker 2>sign this? Because I imagine the experiences you both have

0:06:58.800 --> 0:06:59.920
<v Speaker 2>were very different. Nah.

0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.160
<v Speaker 3>They grabbed me by the ponytail, dragged me out of there,

0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:07.120
<v Speaker 3>threw me the limo. They're like, bb, you sign your

0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:09.680
<v Speaker 3>life away. They went extra hard on us because we

0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:13.440
<v Speaker 3>had an unprecedented ending, like it had never happened before,

0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:15.280
<v Speaker 3>and they thought it was got to be God's gift

0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:18.679
<v Speaker 3>to reality TV, So they went hard on, like really

0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:19.920
<v Speaker 3>making sure that we didn't tell us.

0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:21.560
<v Speaker 1>Do you know what I think? I think they just

0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:24.520
<v Speaker 1>drive the fear into you so much that it's you know,

0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:26.360
<v Speaker 1>no one wants to say the wrong thing, No one

0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:28.080
<v Speaker 1>wants to step out of line for fear of the
