0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:01.760

0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:04.000
<v Speaker 1>TV Reload the podcast last week Their Light.

0:00:04.200 --> 0:00:07.360
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to older new TV Reload listeners. My name is

0:00:07.400 --> 0:00:10.320
<v Speaker 2>Benjamin Norris, and this is your podcast to get all

0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:13.119

<v Speaker 2>might be watching from around the world. I focus on

0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:20.000
<v Speaker 2>a variety of reality shows, scripted dramas, comedies, and documentaries

0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:24.440
<v Speaker 2>from freeware channels and our most popular streaming services. Undeniably,

0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:27.760
<v Speaker 2>our TV sets are our major point of home entertainment,

0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:30.560
<v Speaker 2>and very little is known about how our favorite shows

0:00:30.560 --> 0:00:33.479
<v Speaker 2>get made. Each episode, I find guests that want to

0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:35.640
<v Speaker 2>dive just that little bit deeper into the shows that

0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:38.239
<v Speaker 2>they're currently making, so that you can hear all their

0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:42.080
<v Speaker 2>exclusive stories and gain access to the biggest names in television.

0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:44.559

0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:58.480
<v Speaker 2>I have three men whose lives are set to change

0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:01.120
<v Speaker 2>as they take on the roles of the bachelors, which

0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:04.440
<v Speaker 2>launches this Monday night at seven thirty on Network ten

0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:08.000
<v Speaker 2>and ten Play on demand. Jed, Felix, and Thomas joined

0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:11.399
<v Speaker 2>me to discuss exactly what we have installed as the

0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:15.560
<v Speaker 2>production company Warners shakes up one of their biggest global franchises.

0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:17.720
<v Speaker 3>I think they're gonna be shocked, but in a really

0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:18.199
<v Speaker 3>good way.

0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:22.000
<v Speaker 2>Felix has already had his fair share of interest on

0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:23.200
<v Speaker 2>social media.

0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:25.120
<v Speaker 1>Kind of funny like it's like the main tweets sort

0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:26.720
<v Speaker 1>of set up like I quite enjoy it.

0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:31.120
<v Speaker 2>Jed unpacks the Neapolitan ice cream theory and which flavor

0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:32.319
<v Speaker 2>he thinks they all are.

0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:37.560
<v Speaker 4>I'd say I'm Strawberry, Tommy's shock, Philixma, yeahs, wow.

0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:38.759
<v Speaker 1>What's wrong with Vanilla?

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:42.480
<v Speaker 2>Thomas explains which series of The Bachelor was his favorite,

0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:45.240
<v Speaker 2>plus reveals his favorite Bachelor and Bachelorette.

0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:49.800
<v Speaker 5>I'll probably say that my favorite Bachelorette so far, just

0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:51.120
<v Speaker 5>like personality wise.

0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:54.760
<v Speaker 2>I will also find out what the relationship was like

0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:56.880
<v Speaker 2>between the boys between takes.

0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 4>But having these guys and us next to each other

0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:01.840
<v Speaker 4>and getting a lot so well, we just ultimately had

0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:03.080
<v Speaker 4>the support system there.

0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:06.720
<v Speaker 2>And of course we will get some pretty exclusive stories

0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:09.280
<v Speaker 2>from all the boys, and I think you'll also start

0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:11.639
<v Speaker 2>to get an impression on what we can expect from

0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:15.480
<v Speaker 2>their personalities this season. However, we really should get started.

0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:18.400
<v Speaker 2>Let's bring in Felix, Jed and Thomas into the podcast

0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:22.520
<v Speaker 2>and I hope you guys enjoyed this episode. Hi boys,

0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:24.000
<v Speaker 2>how are you good?

0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:24.919
<v Speaker 3>Great?

0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:27.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to make this as easy as possible for

0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:29.320
<v Speaker 2>people who are listening to this podcast because we've all

0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:31.840
<v Speaker 2>got different names, so I am going to annoyingly have

0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:34.400
<v Speaker 2>to ask questions that go to certain people, which may

0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:36.240
<v Speaker 2>seem a little bit rigid, but as we go on,

0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:38.960
<v Speaker 2>I might drop it depending on how different are you

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:39.560
<v Speaker 2>all sound?

0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:41.720
<v Speaker 1>Well, just put we could put on some accents. Maybe

0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:42.480
<v Speaker 1>that's fine.

0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:44.080
<v Speaker 6>I can't put on an Italian.

0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:47.840
<v Speaker 2>Accent quite natural to you. That was actually quite convincing.

0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:51.880
<v Speaker 2>You know, earlier this year Australia was so excited to

0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:55.040
<v Speaker 2>see who would be the next Bachelor, and it's clear

0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:57.360
<v Speaker 2>now from what I can see before me, that they

0:02:57.400 --> 0:02:58.200
<v Speaker 2>couldn't decide.

0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:01.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, he was definitely it was you know, we

0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:03.840
<v Speaker 1>knew very late in the piece that it was three bachelors,

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:05.600
<v Speaker 1>but it's I think it's a lot better. Like I'm

0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:07.760
<v Speaker 1>from a team sport background, so I like to do

0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:09.720
<v Speaker 1>everything in a group. I don't really like to be

0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:12.360
<v Speaker 1>doing stuff like this on my own, and having gone

0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:15.200
<v Speaker 1>through it, I don't know how anyone ever did this

0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:17.880
<v Speaker 1>in the past just with one person, because we're bouncing

0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:20.000
<v Speaker 1>stuff off each other and all that. Like, I can't

0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:23.040
<v Speaker 1>imagine coming home from a full day and then you

0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:24.799
<v Speaker 1>just sort of sit in your own like, I just

0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:27.200
<v Speaker 1>think that'd be so stressful. So it definitely made it

0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:28.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot easier, well, Jed.

0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:32.560
<v Speaker 2>It's been described as the Neapolitan ice cream of Bachelor's

0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:36.600
<v Speaker 2>which makes me want to ask you the annoying question

0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:40.200
<v Speaker 2>of who is what flavor? Who is chocolate, strawberry and vanilla.

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:44.760
<v Speaker 4>I'd say I'm strawberry Tommy's shock, but flix, y.

0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:47.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, what's wrong with vanilla? There's nothing wrong with vanilla.

0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:49.120
<v Speaker 1>But I think that I bring a little bit more

0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:50.600
<v Speaker 1>spice to the equation.

0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:52.320
<v Speaker 4>Than to be the vill I think we're I don't

0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:54.880
<v Speaker 4>think we're Neapolitan. The thing is, I think we're you know,

0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:57.520
<v Speaker 4>we're all golden gay time. We're a bit you know,

0:03:57.560 --> 0:03:59.480
<v Speaker 4>we're at but we're like the rainbow one, Like we're

0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:00.640
<v Speaker 4>all a bit of a different way.

0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:03.920
<v Speaker 1>We've gone from Golden Gay have to rainbow off each

0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:04.600
<v Speaker 1>other all the time.

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:06.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna have to leave that. You know, it's up

0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:09.760
<v Speaker 2>to everyone's interpretation on you know, what those flavors mean.

0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:11.800
<v Speaker 2>But I appreciate the answer because I kind of thought

0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 2>you were going to stall on that, Felix. I was

0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:15.720
<v Speaker 2>going to ask you, how did they find you to

0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:19.040
<v Speaker 2>do this show and whether any hesitations from your behalf.

0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:23.400
<v Speaker 1>I think at the start, look, I'm not really you know,

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:26.680
<v Speaker 1>I've been on you know, three dates in my life

0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.400
<v Speaker 1>before this, so I'm not really That's just not something

0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:31.560
<v Speaker 1>I usually do. I like to just sort of live

0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:33.839
<v Speaker 1>my own life and do my own thing. I've always

0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:36.799
<v Speaker 1>done sport or other things where you're around a group anyway.

0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:38.960
<v Speaker 1>So there was a little bit of hesitation because you know,

0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:40.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I could be the worst date of

0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:43.120
<v Speaker 1>all time. I just didn't really really know. And now

0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:45.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to do it on national television with stuff

0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:47.000
<v Speaker 1>that I'm not really used to doing. But you know,

0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:49.279
<v Speaker 1>after thinking it's through, I was. I was. I thought

0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:51.480
<v Speaker 1>it'd be a great opportunity because I'm not like a

0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:54.119
<v Speaker 1>not a dating apps person. I text like an old man.

0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:56.599
<v Speaker 1>It's a lot easier for me to talk face to

0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:58.520
<v Speaker 1>face with people, and I enjoy doing that, and I

0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:00.920
<v Speaker 1>feel like sometimes the way the world's move we're going

0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:03.160
<v Speaker 1>away from that a little bit more so, like I'm

0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:04.720
<v Speaker 1>the annoying guy in the elevator that will try to

0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:07.240
<v Speaker 1>start up an awkward conversation with you when you just

0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:08.159
<v Speaker 1>want to get to your floor.

0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:11.960
<v Speaker 2>So any other arena you've been practicing, you know, for

0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:13.919
<v Speaker 2>a very long time before you know you get.

0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:16.480
<v Speaker 1>Many arenas in the dating sense have been heard some practice,

0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:17.920
<v Speaker 1>but just not the ones here.

0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:21.360
<v Speaker 2>Thomas has been a very different season. You know, we've

0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:23.599
<v Speaker 2>all been teased how many different changes there are. But

0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:25.839
<v Speaker 2>do you think audiences are going to be shocked by

0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:29.080
<v Speaker 2>those changes that have been made to a very familiar format.

0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:31.279
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I think they're going to be shocked, but in

0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:32.239
<v Speaker 3>a really good way.

0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:35.560
<v Speaker 5>I I tuned in to watch some of the previous

0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:38.000
<v Speaker 5>seasons and you know, it was fantastic, like it was

0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:41.960
<v Speaker 5>all about romance and love. And this season really brings

0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:44.680
<v Speaker 5>in more of the real scene of like the date,

0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:47.360
<v Speaker 5>the real dating scene. You know, you won't find the

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:50.960
<v Speaker 5>candles and all the flowers and the red carpets, like

0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:54.839
<v Speaker 5>it's literally two normal people going on two normal dates.

0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:57.200
<v Speaker 5>You get, you get to pick what date you're taking

0:05:57.240 --> 0:06:02.160
<v Speaker 5>your your your your your date on and there's lots

0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:04.000
<v Speaker 5>of reality and I think that's really cool.

0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:06.680
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, I mean I think it needed a change. I mean,

0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:08.839
<v Speaker 2>this is Go Broke, I'll Go Home season, which I

0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:11.960
<v Speaker 2>kind of like, Jed, did you have any requirements when

0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:14.080
<v Speaker 2>it came to the type of women that you wanted

0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:16.200
<v Speaker 2>to meet? Because we all know when they're you know,

0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:18.400
<v Speaker 2>you meet the producers, you can have really in depth

0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:21.240
<v Speaker 2>conversations about what it is that you're looking for. You know,

0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:23.599
<v Speaker 2>what were some of those requirements if you don't mind

0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:24.799
<v Speaker 2>me asking, Yeah.

0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:28.200
<v Speaker 4>For sure, Well for me, I don't necessarily have a type.

0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:31.480
<v Speaker 4>It'll sound quite a generic answer, but honestly, someone that's

0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:35.400
<v Speaker 4>just I think confident, and I think someone that would Honestly,

0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:37.320
<v Speaker 4>the thing is also not.

0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:39.000
<v Speaker 3>Everyone would like the way that I look.

0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:42.120
<v Speaker 4>So I was also like, you know, Adam and and

0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.360
<v Speaker 4>you know, maybe giving them some sort of hint to

0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:46.479
<v Speaker 4>who I am, because I'm not. If I was going

0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:48.839
<v Speaker 4>into that show as a woman expecting a bachelor like

0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:50.040
<v Speaker 4>these boys and you got me.

0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:52.800
<v Speaker 3>I'd be like, well, gee, wish, what's going on?

0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:57.159
<v Speaker 4>So I think I definitely presented my personality in someone

0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:59.280
<v Speaker 4>that would fit that. But for me, yeah, I think

0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:01.560
<v Speaker 4>it's just someone that loves someone that's a bit different

0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:03.240
<v Speaker 4>and very true to who they are, and that's I

0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:06.279
<v Speaker 4>think a woman that's confident in themselves. So that was

0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:09.400
<v Speaker 4>really my only requirement, Like, I don't have a type.

0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:09.920
<v Speaker 3>I think my.

0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:13.120
<v Speaker 4>Dating history with girls, if you you know, were to

0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:15.400
<v Speaker 4>see them, it's not like a certain type of woman.

0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:17.720
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, it was just someone that's.

0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:21.440
<v Speaker 4>Confident in them in themselves and would like a tattooed

0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:23.040
<v Speaker 4>bleach haad drummer.

0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:23.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:25.200
<v Speaker 2>Well I'm just going to be really honest because I'm

0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:28.200
<v Speaker 2>that person. But I actually met you at a at

0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:31.760
<v Speaker 2>a function not that long ago the launch of Yeah,

0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:35.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah and Boy, and I didn't when the press release

0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:37.920
<v Speaker 2>came out and I saw the photos, you were not

0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:40.800
<v Speaker 2>my favorite out of the three because I was like, oh,

0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:42.880
<v Speaker 2>this is a little a little left of center for

0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.200
<v Speaker 2>the Bachelor. But then when I met you for the

0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:48.520
<v Speaker 2>three days that followed, I just kept thinking about you,

0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:51.880
<v Speaker 2>and you are a very intoxicating person. So you know,

0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:53.760
<v Speaker 2>I think it's going to be interesting to see what

0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:56.720
<v Speaker 2>people think of you. Three before it starts and then

0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:57.720
<v Speaker 2>see where we end up.

0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:00.480
<v Speaker 4>Definitely, No, I appreciate that. I think I'm comments on

0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:03.560
<v Speaker 4>not promising. No, I'm very keen for it to come out.

0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:07.280
<v Speaker 4>I think, especially in my history, I'm sort of judged

0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:10.440
<v Speaker 4>quite quickly, so I think sometimes, you know, when I

0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:11.960
<v Speaker 4>open my mouth, I thought it wouldn't be a good thing,

0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:13.760
<v Speaker 4>But now I actually can't wait for people to hear

0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:16.040
<v Speaker 4>me speak and see who I am. So yeah, No,

0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:17.920
<v Speaker 4>but I appreciate that compliment. It means a lot.

0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:20.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think we're looking for something different as well.

0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:22.280
<v Speaker 2>You know, we can't just stick to the same old

0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:25.680
<v Speaker 2>sort of formulas. But interestingly enough, so Felix, you have

0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:28.400
<v Speaker 2>more to say this time around with who you have

0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:31.200
<v Speaker 2>a connection with. You know, with these initial dates, we've

0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:33.120
<v Speaker 2>heard that there's initial dates to narrow it down, so

0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:36.120
<v Speaker 2>you can't even get to the mansion without you guys

0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:37.720
<v Speaker 2>sort of having a bit of a saying that as

0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:40.240
<v Speaker 2>surely there were some horrible dates. Can you describe to

0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:42.160
<v Speaker 2>me like one of the worst dates that you went

0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:43.000
<v Speaker 2>on prior to.

0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:46.839
<v Speaker 1>I can't go to detail about what the individual dates happened,

0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:48.720
<v Speaker 1>but I can tell you, yes, there were some absolute

0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:51.600
<v Speaker 1>shockers because sometimes you just don't you just don't hit

0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:53.600
<v Speaker 1>it off, especially when I'm someone that talks so much

0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:56.319
<v Speaker 1>and you know, usually doesn't shut up. It can sort

0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:59.040
<v Speaker 1>of get weird with your always having to drive the conversation.

0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:00.520
<v Speaker 1>But I think the thing that we all all agreed

0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:04.640
<v Speaker 1>on was that just how brave the girls had to

0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:07.240
<v Speaker 1>be to agree to do this, because you know, when

0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:09.560
<v Speaker 1>you usually come on the red carpet, you know, you

0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:11.880
<v Speaker 1>can wear a silly outfit or something and it's all

0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:14.040
<v Speaker 1>a bit of fun, but you really have to put

0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:17.520
<v Speaker 1>yourself on the line here, and that was so hard

0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:20.560
<v Speaker 1>to like, like, who am I to say no to

0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:23.199
<v Speaker 1>someone else? Like since when do I get that power?

0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:25.280
<v Speaker 1>And I think that was the hard part, whereas like,

0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:26.960
<v Speaker 1>this girl's just done something. Because if it was me

0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:29.480
<v Speaker 1>in that situation and they said take someone on a

0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:34.160
<v Speaker 1>first date, it's on national TV and they might reject you. There, hell,

0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:36.400
<v Speaker 1>no am I going to do that? Like you have

0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:38.959
<v Speaker 1>to be so brave to do that, And that was

0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:41.360
<v Speaker 1>an attractive quality in every one of those girls because

0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:44.480
<v Speaker 1>it's something I like, so yeah, I think for most

0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:46.439
<v Speaker 1>of the time, I was just like, man, you got

0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:48.960
<v Speaker 1>to be so brave to be doing this and credit

0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:50.840
<v Speaker 1>to you know, even the girls that didn't make it

0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:53.160
<v Speaker 1>to the Mansion like to go through life with that

0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:54.679
<v Speaker 1>sort of attitude where you know what, I'm just going

0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:55.959
<v Speaker 1>to give it a crack. I think was just a

0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:58.400
<v Speaker 1>really special thing, and a lot of people are going

0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:00.840
<v Speaker 1>to relate to some of those awkward moments in the dates,

0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:03.280
<v Speaker 1>both from the guys and the girls, because everyone's you know,

0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:04.280
<v Speaker 1>everyone's been on one.

0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:06.800
<v Speaker 2>The currency of the show, though, isn't it that you know,

0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:09.000
<v Speaker 2>we can all relate because we've all been on the

0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:10.439
<v Speaker 2>shittiest of dates and.

0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:13.080
<v Speaker 1>You know that we've got flaws. It's not we're not

0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:15.200
<v Speaker 1>put up on this pedestal as if we're the perfect

0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:17.040
<v Speaker 1>person and you can do no wrong. You know, you're

0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:19.360
<v Speaker 1>saying all the perfect things, like we stick our foot

0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:21.679
<v Speaker 1>in it sometimes maybe more than the other.

0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:24.560
<v Speaker 3>No, ik, yeah, bit, well do it.

0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:26.480
<v Speaker 1>We're sitting there going, jeez, this isn't how the Bachelor's

0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:29.360
<v Speaker 1>meant to work. They team it up against me here,

0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:32.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm fighting for my life. I'm about to get I

0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:33.840
<v Speaker 1>thought I was about to get evicted.

0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:36.720
<v Speaker 2>But it was that sort of work again.

0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:39.800
<v Speaker 1>I think that was a that was a cool part

0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:41.120
<v Speaker 1>like that's how the real world works.

0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:41.440
<v Speaker 6>It's not.

0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:43.960
<v Speaker 1>You're not standing up there and picking and choosing. You know,

0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:46.319
<v Speaker 1>you actually have to if you want to build a

0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:48.120
<v Speaker 1>relationship with someone. It's a two way street, and I

0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:50.360
<v Speaker 1>think it's really well represented in this series.

0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:54.480
<v Speaker 2>Thomas, had you watched the show and do you have

0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:57.679
<v Speaker 2>a favorite previous bachelor or bachelorette?

0:10:58.440 --> 0:10:58.680
<v Speaker 6>Yes?

0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:02.240
<v Speaker 5>I have watched a couple of seasons, and Samanthias out

0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:06.320
<v Speaker 5>here and there. I mostly focused on the latest one,

0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:11.280
<v Speaker 5>so Jimmy and I really enjoyed watching his love story unfold.

0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:16.120
<v Speaker 5>I'll probably say that my favorite bachelorette so far, just

0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:20.000
<v Speaker 5>like personality wise, is being Brittany Hockley. I really love

0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:21.960
<v Speaker 5>her vibe and Felix.

0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Did you have any previous bachelors or bachelorettes offering you

0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:28.520
<v Speaker 2>any advice? You know, once we announced that you guys

0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:31.199
<v Speaker 2>were doing the show, you know, Australia all new, I'm

0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:33.800
<v Speaker 2>assuming that some of them might have, you know, slid

0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:36.079
<v Speaker 2>into your DMS and given you a heads up. Did

0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:37.559
<v Speaker 2>you speak to any of them? And can you tell

0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:38.240
<v Speaker 2>me who you spoke to?

0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Me? You would have hoped so, Ben, but none of them,

0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:41.400
<v Speaker 1>None of them reached out. All I had was a

0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:47.319
<v Speaker 1>couple of dms called me white Bread and Vanilla, and well, yeah, that's.

0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:50.240
<v Speaker 2>Just your posts, that's just the other boy.

0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:53.240
<v Speaker 1>But no, no, I didn't have any reachie. The only

0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:56.440
<v Speaker 1>actual ex person that I've had a conversation with was

0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Brooke Blurton. I was at a basketball thing and she

0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:01.240
<v Speaker 1>was there as well. She super nice and she just said,

0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:03.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, reaffirmed my fears that it's about to get

0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:05.720
<v Speaker 1>incredibly crazy and all that sort of stuff. But no, no,

0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:08.720
<v Speaker 1>she's the only person I've really run into from the show.

0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:11.000
<v Speaker 1>But she was fantastic sort of prepping for a little

0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:13.080
<v Speaker 1>bit of what it's like, you know, on social media

0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:14.439
<v Speaker 1>and all that sort of stuff while the show is

0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:14.760
<v Speaker 1>going on.

0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:16.720
<v Speaker 2>It'd be the first thing that I'd do. I'd be like,

0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:18.440
<v Speaker 2>I've got to go go on the show and I've

0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:21.160
<v Speaker 2>got to ring everyone or ask all these questions that

0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:23.960
<v Speaker 2>people who've done it before me. Had either of the

0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:26.520
<v Speaker 2>other two of you, had you tried to hit up

0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:28.800
<v Speaker 2>any previous bachelors of Bachelorettes and ask for advice.

0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:32.960
<v Speaker 4>No, really, I saw an article pop up with Jimmy

0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:39.600
<v Speaker 4>giving us advice publicly, so and I really yeah, I

0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:40.720
<v Speaker 4>got that really quick.

0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:42.880
<v Speaker 3>Why that wouldn't be a good thing? But no, I

0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:45.080
<v Speaker 3>didn't reach out to anyone. I was just sort of like,

0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:45.640
<v Speaker 3>let's go.

0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:46.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:47.840
<v Speaker 4>I think the good thing is we have even though

0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:50.080
<v Speaker 4>they haven't done it before, but having these guys and

0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:52.280
<v Speaker 4>us next to each other and getting along so well,

0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:55.560
<v Speaker 4>we just ultimately had their support system there and obviously

0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:57.520
<v Speaker 4>not having our phones on the show, this is what

0:12:57.559 --> 0:12:59.720
<v Speaker 4>we had and like, thank goodness, we get along and

0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:02.160
<v Speaker 4>we're O, that's been a solid soundboard for each other.

0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:05.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, A solid bromance is obviously formed, which means

0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:07.880
<v Speaker 2>that you know, we've been told that, you know, there's

0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:10.640
<v Speaker 2>two proposals, which means it's disappointing for one of you,

0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:12.920
<v Speaker 2>but at least you walk away with the ultimate bromance

0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:15.200
<v Speaker 2>of you know, one of the other guys.

0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:17.720
<v Speaker 3>But it's not as if no one walks away with anything.

0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:19.559
<v Speaker 3>So you have to tune in and see what happens.

0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:21.320
<v Speaker 2>That is a good teas that is a very good tease.

0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:23.840
<v Speaker 2>I enjoy that. I enjoyed a lot. What I was

0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:26.040
<v Speaker 2>gonna ask, I was gonna ask Jed, has there been

0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:29.600
<v Speaker 2>could you see yourself having friendships with these guys. You know,

0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:32.120
<v Speaker 2>post show, do you think it's just one of those

0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:35.480
<v Speaker 2>scenarios like the movie Speed, where you know, situations based

0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:38.120
<v Speaker 2>on extreme situations you know, don't work out. Do you

0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:40.000
<v Speaker 2>think that you'll be friends with these boys for life?

0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:41.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, one hundred percent.

0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:44.520
<v Speaker 4>I think I think we all actually went through way

0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:47.000
<v Speaker 4>more of a personal journey than we thought a reality

0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:49.839
<v Speaker 4>TV show would bring on me personally, had one of

0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:53.439
<v Speaker 4>the most growing times and realizations of my life during

0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:56.880
<v Speaker 4>the filming and in the gap between it filming and airing,

0:13:57.280 --> 0:14:01.760
<v Speaker 4>And honestly, these two boys have been in my life

0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:04.800
<v Speaker 4>in some of the most roughest and intimate times and

0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:07.880
<v Speaker 4>been there for me and during the film, and it's

0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:10.360
<v Speaker 4>an intense thing, and we all let out a lot

0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:13.360
<v Speaker 4>of emotion, and probably the most emotion I've ever let

0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:16.560
<v Speaker 4>out has been to these two boys. And from the

0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:19.320
<v Speaker 4>start to the beginning to now, outside of the show

0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:22.360
<v Speaker 4>and forever, I can honestly see, you know, these boys

0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:23.880
<v Speaker 4>standing next to me at my wedding.

0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:25.400
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, I love them.

0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Wedding wedding coming up, don't anything.

0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Who's wedding not my wedding. I've been engaged for ten years,

0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:33.520
<v Speaker 2>that's not happening.

0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:33.960
<v Speaker 1>Do it.

0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:35.160
<v Speaker 3>I'll come to yours too.

0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:37.440
<v Speaker 2>Okay, great, And Thomas, I was going to say, the

0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:41.920
<v Speaker 2>season promises swingers, walkouts, and tantrums, and that's just what's

0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:45.200
<v Speaker 2>in the promo. Although what I want to know is

0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:47.520
<v Speaker 2>do the girls change their mind and start going for

0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:49.640
<v Speaker 2>a different bloke, because you guys are all in this

0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:52.480
<v Speaker 2>mansion now and you've picked these girls, but surely they're

0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:54.160
<v Speaker 2>going to change their mind. I mean I started off,

0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:56.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, Thomas, thinking you're my favorite, and you know

0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:58.000
<v Speaker 2>now I've gone to Jed and by the end of

0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:00.120
<v Speaker 2>this chat it will be different again. How did you

0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:00.920
<v Speaker 2>stop these women?

0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:04.040
<v Speaker 4>You know, it's all three at the same time you realize, Look,

0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:06.600
<v Speaker 4>that's one of the good things about about this show,

0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:09.320
<v Speaker 4>Like it's it's a it's a free world, right, and

0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:10.960
<v Speaker 4>it's it's absolutely free choice on.

0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:13.480
<v Speaker 5>The show, and we we go with who we vibe with,

0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:18.360
<v Speaker 5>and there's definitely a few surprises happening that again, it

0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:21.200
<v Speaker 5>just keeps this show really real. So there's been a

0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:24.120
<v Speaker 5>few of those things happening, and they've been they've been good.

0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:25.320
<v Speaker 6>There's been some drama.

0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:30.440
<v Speaker 5>A few of us have been very surprised, but towards

0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:33.520
<v Speaker 5>the end, it was just again super real, which is

0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:33.960
<v Speaker 5>what you want.

0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:36.680
<v Speaker 2>I also love the fact that we're talking about the promos.

0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:39.880
<v Speaker 2>I liked the James Bond in themed you know themed

0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:42.360
<v Speaker 2>ad where all three of you arriving like you know,

0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:44.440
<v Speaker 2>you're a spy, which was fun.

0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:48.960
<v Speaker 4>But that's our usual vote of transport license to as

0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:51.560
<v Speaker 4>we said, very realistic season, so we thought we'd kick

0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:54.560
<v Speaker 4>it off with our usual transitation device.

0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:57.440
<v Speaker 2>That is, I kind of reminded me of the start

0:15:57.440 --> 0:16:00.760
<v Speaker 2>of Wolf of Wall Street where Leonard Dekapra crashes helicopter.

0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:02.680
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's all very schmid, but if it was

0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:05.040
<v Speaker 2>real world, I'm assuming that just we.

0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:09.240
<v Speaker 4>Didn't go that mar continue which one of you is

0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:10.880
<v Speaker 4>the James Bond out of the three of you, though

0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:14.960
<v Speaker 4>me it is definitely I'm more like the Swedish villain

0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:16.520
<v Speaker 4>with a weird eyes driving the Jaguar.

0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:20.040
<v Speaker 2>Well, Jed has the doorway open for more reality TV

0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:23.280
<v Speaker 2>after this? I mean, has the realities of reality TV

0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:26.120
<v Speaker 2>scared your way? Or would you do more shows like this?

0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:26.840
<v Speaker 1>No?

0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:29.560
<v Speaker 4>I think you know, Music's always been my thing and

0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:31.400
<v Speaker 4>I came here for a reason, and I think you know,

0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:33.680
<v Speaker 4>you'll find out If that's the case, then there's no

0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:35.880
<v Speaker 4>really need for me to be on anything else, So

0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:40.720
<v Speaker 4>I can't see myself continuing onto anything else. I think

0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:44.480
<v Speaker 4>this has been a really special experience and it gave

0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:47.120
<v Speaker 4>me a lot more than I thought it really would,

0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:49.880
<v Speaker 4>and it hasn't even aired yet, so I think personally,

0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:53.160
<v Speaker 4>to me, I actually cherished that quite close to my heart,

0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:55.880
<v Speaker 4>and I think if I was to jump on something

0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:59.040
<v Speaker 4>else one it definitely wouldn't be anything to do like this.

0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:01.400
<v Speaker 4>But too, I think think this has just been so

0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:04.000
<v Speaker 4>special for me. I want to hold you know, my

0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:08.280
<v Speaker 4>experience on TV like this and yeah, yeah, not tarnish

0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:10.320
<v Speaker 4>it with something else. I'm happy being a drummer, so

0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:11.760
<v Speaker 4>I'll ride off into the sunset and.

0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:12.439
<v Speaker 3>Be happy doing that.

0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:17.199
<v Speaker 2>I really like the answer, you know, Felix osher Is.

0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:20.320
<v Speaker 2>I've know Osha. I've interviewed him a couple of times,

0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:21.720
<v Speaker 2>been at a few parties with him, and I know

0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:24.200
<v Speaker 2>him to be, you know, quite jovial, a bit of

0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:27.159
<v Speaker 2>a prankster behind the scenes. Did you click with him

0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:29.640
<v Speaker 2>straight away or was he like an annoying big brother

0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:30.720
<v Speaker 2>throughout this process?

0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:33.359
<v Speaker 1>No, Osha was great. Look, I think from the start,

0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:35.840
<v Speaker 1>I think we've both got our you know, weird quirks

0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:38.600
<v Speaker 1>and that sort of stuff. Like I think we we

0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:41.080
<v Speaker 1>did get along quite well during it and the journey

0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:43.280
<v Speaker 1>that I went on through it. Osha actually gave me

0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:46.880
<v Speaker 1>some really good advice throughout it, because you know, even

0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:49.200
<v Speaker 1>some of our background stuff was a little bit similar

0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:53.240
<v Speaker 1>and been through sort of similar circumstances that we discussed.

0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:55.919
<v Speaker 1>So I think I really used him as a bit

0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:59.159
<v Speaker 1>of another sounding board outside of these guys in a

0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:00.840
<v Speaker 1>few of the chats that we so he played it

0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:03.120
<v Speaker 1>seem played a really crucial part, and more so than

0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:05.639
<v Speaker 1>I think is represented in the show. You know, just

0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:07.560
<v Speaker 1>as a host. He's a lot more than that when

0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:09.440
<v Speaker 1>it comes to this, Like this guy's heart and soul

0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:13.720
<v Speaker 1>is in this show, like it. He's absolutely all about it,

0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:16.360
<v Speaker 1>all about the journey and finding love, Like he's well,

0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:18.840
<v Speaker 1>he's so proud that the amount of people that have

0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:21.600
<v Speaker 1>finished the show and remained together. Yeah, and you can

0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:23.520
<v Speaker 1>tell when he talks about it that it's genuine It's

0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:25.879
<v Speaker 1>not just you know, a host up there making the

0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:28.640
<v Speaker 1>show nice and warm and fuzzy. He's really speaking from

0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:30.720
<v Speaker 1>the heart, like he genuinely seems like the type of

0:18:30.720 --> 0:18:32.760
<v Speaker 1>guy that would do this for free. Yeah, like he

0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:34.119
<v Speaker 1>just he just come out here and say I want

0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:34.840
<v Speaker 1>to be involved with this.

0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:37.360
<v Speaker 6>It's been a good mentor Yeah, he.

0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:39.879
<v Speaker 2>Invests in the conversation. I think that's one thing that

0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:43.320
<v Speaker 2>for me, you know, doing interviews. But you know also

0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:45.960
<v Speaker 2>when you meet people that you've seen on television, you

0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:48.879
<v Speaker 2>straight away get the sense that someone's being authentic if

0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:51.960
<v Speaker 2>they are, and with a show like he can be

0:18:52.040 --> 0:18:54.280
<v Speaker 2>a lot of things. He can be outspoken, you know,

0:18:54.400 --> 0:18:56.080
<v Speaker 2>he could be really kind, and he can be all

0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:57.879
<v Speaker 2>of these things, which makes him so real and so

0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:01.360
<v Speaker 2>accessible I think to audiences and probably why it's been

0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:04.119
<v Speaker 2>you know, doing a million seasons of The Bachelor and

0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:06.560
<v Speaker 2>used to come. If you'll get divorced, you could come

0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:09.520
<v Speaker 2>back and do the sequel to the Bachelor's and try

0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:13.639
<v Speaker 2>and find someone else with Oschiginsburg. Before you go, I

0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:16.360
<v Speaker 2>was gonna say, Thomas, I'm assuming you have to keep

0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:19.320
<v Speaker 2>these relationships really hush hush, and there has been a

0:19:19.359 --> 0:19:22.080
<v Speaker 2>longer wait than we expected to have. You know, does

0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:26.080
<v Speaker 2>that put an unrealistic expectation or pressure on these relationships

0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:29.280
<v Speaker 2>that you've managed to finish off with trying to sort

0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:30.879
<v Speaker 2>of hide them for as long as you've had to

0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:31.840
<v Speaker 2>hide them.

0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:36.600
<v Speaker 5>So I see, I always try to find the silver

0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:39.119
<v Speaker 5>lining in everything and the lesson and everything, and so

0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:42.560
<v Speaker 5>I'm in a point where if it's taken longer, I'm

0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:46.240
<v Speaker 5>gonna just like ride it and just do my best

0:19:46.320 --> 0:19:52.280
<v Speaker 5>to maintain a good relationship. So despite the weight, like

0:19:52.320 --> 0:19:54.640
<v Speaker 5>for me, even the weight is positive because I can

0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:59.040
<v Speaker 5>then really manage to like build on my relationship at

0:19:59.080 --> 0:19:59.520
<v Speaker 5>a distance.

0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:02.960
<v Speaker 4>I've managed to do fairly well. Like it hasn't been

0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:06.080
<v Speaker 4>too hard, I think. And the thing that people don't

0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:10.199
<v Speaker 4>realize too is the network organizes really secret rendezvous and

0:20:10.200 --> 0:20:12.800
<v Speaker 4>things like that so we can see them. So people

0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:15.200
<v Speaker 4>may think that you finish it and then you can't

0:20:15.200 --> 0:20:17.639
<v Speaker 4>see them ever again, but it's definitely.

0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:17.760
<v Speaker 6>Not the case.

0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:20.879
<v Speaker 1>He's the one. The one thing that is difficult is like,

0:20:20.920 --> 0:20:23.240
<v Speaker 1>obviously I like to go out and have a good time,

0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:25.800
<v Speaker 1>and you know, I never go out trying to pick

0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:27.640
<v Speaker 1>up women. I go out and I stand a meter

0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:30.200
<v Speaker 1>from the DJ booth and I dance for twelve hours.

0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:32.880
<v Speaker 1>So people always assume if you're out.

0:20:33.320 --> 0:20:36.399
<v Speaker 2>Which is why you single it thin, how do that.

0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:40.359
<v Speaker 1>Add twenty to that? But that's something that I just

0:20:40.440 --> 0:20:42.160
<v Speaker 1>really enjoy doing. Like I've got a couple of mates

0:20:42.160 --> 0:20:44.840
<v Speaker 1>and we just go like techno and dance like that.

0:20:45.080 --> 0:20:47.520
<v Speaker 1>That's just what we enjoy doing. And you go out

0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:49.359
<v Speaker 1>and every one assumes like, oh, you must be single

0:20:49.400 --> 0:20:52.280
<v Speaker 1>because you're out, And I think that's the misconception that

0:20:52.640 --> 0:20:55.840
<v Speaker 1>you're not necessarily looking for women or even talking to anyone.

0:20:56.000 --> 0:20:57.480
<v Speaker 1>You just out to have a good time. And even

0:20:57.520 --> 0:20:59.000
<v Speaker 1>like you got it. I got it once at a

0:20:59.040 --> 0:21:02.359
<v Speaker 1>restaurant I was out with you know, two couples and me,

0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:04.560
<v Speaker 1>and then one of the girlfriends said, Oh, you're obviously

0:21:04.760 --> 0:21:07.000
<v Speaker 1>not in a relationship because you're here, and it's like

0:21:07.880 --> 0:21:11.639
<v Speaker 1>you're sitting at dinner. Like people read into things so

0:21:11.840 --> 0:21:14.320
<v Speaker 1>much that it sort of it gets a little bit annoying.

0:21:14.359 --> 0:21:16.280
<v Speaker 6>Sometimes, Yeah, that is annoying.

0:21:16.320 --> 0:21:19.360
<v Speaker 4>I think people definitely catch on that, you know, I'm

0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:21.480
<v Speaker 4>always gone out, you know, for walks by myself and

0:21:21.520 --> 0:21:24.600
<v Speaker 4>playing gigs and out at venues. And I think on

0:21:24.680 --> 0:21:27.240
<v Speaker 4>one hand, you know, people don't understand it's like, well,

0:21:27.240 --> 0:21:29.280
<v Speaker 4>of course we can't be with them yet because you know,

0:21:29.400 --> 0:21:32.800
<v Speaker 4>show hasn't aired. But two, I think people put their

0:21:32.880 --> 0:21:35.960
<v Speaker 4>own relationships in our foot and like, maybe you can't

0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:38.200
<v Speaker 4>deal with a few fair bit of distance.

0:21:38.320 --> 0:21:42.240
<v Speaker 3>But maybe we can. You know. I think other people

0:21:42.240 --> 0:21:44.040
<v Speaker 3>are like, oh, how does that work. It's like, well,

0:21:44.119 --> 0:21:46.879
<v Speaker 3>you know it actually it works.

0:21:46.960 --> 0:21:47.680
<v Speaker 2>It's interesting.

0:21:47.720 --> 0:21:47.919
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:21:47.960 --> 0:21:50.880
<v Speaker 2>I've been together with my partner for thirteen years and

0:21:51.200 --> 0:21:56.439
<v Speaker 2>in gay years, that is eight hundred years. But it's funny.

0:21:56.440 --> 0:21:58.520
<v Speaker 2>I want him to be his own person, and so

0:21:58.960 --> 0:22:01.040
<v Speaker 2>I go to family things by myself. I go out

0:22:01.040 --> 0:22:03.479
<v Speaker 2>with my mates by you know, one on one, and

0:22:03.520 --> 0:22:05.679
<v Speaker 2>he doesn't have to come with me everywhere, and nor

0:22:05.760 --> 0:22:07.919
<v Speaker 2>do I want him to. And I think that's the

0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:10.720
<v Speaker 2>essence of having a good relationship is championing your partner

0:22:10.960 --> 0:22:13.159
<v Speaker 2>to be their own person and have their own life

0:22:13.200 --> 0:22:16.960
<v Speaker 2>outside of you know, the romance, which can still be there,

0:22:17.240 --> 0:22:17.479
<v Speaker 2>you know.

0:22:17.640 --> 0:22:19.560
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, I think all this has done is actually

0:22:19.600 --> 0:22:22.879
<v Speaker 4>tested something early on which solidifies something.

0:22:22.920 --> 0:22:23.199
<v Speaker 3>For me.

0:22:23.240 --> 0:22:26.439
<v Speaker 4>It's honestly been quite a good thing, especially you know,

0:22:26.760 --> 0:22:28.840
<v Speaker 4>given my world and how I travel a lot. For me,

0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:31.800
<v Speaker 4>it was a key part of finding someone that's okay

0:22:31.840 --> 0:22:34.480
<v Speaker 4>with a bit of distance and you know, one that's

0:22:34.480 --> 0:22:36.240
<v Speaker 4>why I went on this show to find someone you know,

0:22:36.560 --> 0:22:38.680
<v Speaker 4>sort of willing to put themselves out there in front

0:22:38.680 --> 0:22:41.320
<v Speaker 4>of an intense environment that coupled with a bit of distance,

0:22:42.040 --> 0:22:43.560
<v Speaker 4>and feel like it's sort of perfect for me.

0:22:43.680 --> 0:22:47.080
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, someone out there, there's someone out there for

0:22:47.119 --> 0:22:49.600
<v Speaker 2>all of us. I mean, I genuinely believe that, and

0:22:49.680 --> 0:22:53.879
<v Speaker 2>I think different, different hours, different lifestyles, you will still

0:22:53.880 --> 0:22:56.920
<v Speaker 2>find someone that will be compatible. And you guys already

0:22:56.920 --> 0:23:02.600
<v Speaker 2>have a headstart because you're all ridiculously good looking. Sound

0:23:02.640 --> 0:23:07.640
<v Speaker 2>like Jeff Goblin Towards the end thered.

0:23:06.200 --> 0:23:07.600
<v Speaker 3>I need the extra pump up.

0:23:08.160 --> 0:23:10.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you guys don't need the pump up. You guys

0:23:10.160 --> 0:23:11.040
<v Speaker 2>are looking all right now.

0:23:11.080 --> 0:23:14.120
<v Speaker 3>I've seen the comment section I need the pump up.

0:23:15.280 --> 0:23:17.240
<v Speaker 2>I had a question in there actually to ask you

0:23:17.240 --> 0:23:19.600
<v Speaker 2>about that. I was going to say, you know, online

0:23:19.640 --> 0:23:23.119
<v Speaker 2>you've had probably more of the most unusual comments that

0:23:23.160 --> 0:23:25.720
<v Speaker 2>are out there. And I deleted that question and sort

0:23:25.720 --> 0:23:27.439
<v Speaker 2>of rephrased it to what I was saying to you

0:23:27.480 --> 0:23:30.960
<v Speaker 2>about me changing my mind. And I think, you know,

0:23:31.240 --> 0:23:33.240
<v Speaker 2>I think you're going to take people on a real journey,

0:23:33.440 --> 0:23:36.560
<v Speaker 2>and I think it'll be the reward for having to

0:23:36.560 --> 0:23:38.879
<v Speaker 2>read some fairly hectic things at times, do you know

0:23:38.920 --> 0:23:39.280
<v Speaker 2>what I mean?

0:23:39.359 --> 0:23:41.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think for me, I've always looked like this

0:23:41.960 --> 0:23:45.680
<v Speaker 4>and dress like this, and I've been bullied my entire life,

0:23:45.840 --> 0:23:49.240
<v Speaker 4>so a bit of social media isn't a shock to me.

0:23:49.320 --> 0:23:51.800
<v Speaker 4>And I've actually found this day and age for someone

0:23:51.840 --> 0:23:54.000
<v Speaker 4>that looks like me, and even just being straight looking

0:23:54.080 --> 0:23:57.439
<v Speaker 4>like this, It's never been a more peaceful, beautiful place.

0:23:57.920 --> 0:24:00.600
<v Speaker 4>But when it wasn't when I was growing now that

0:24:00.680 --> 0:24:03.680
<v Speaker 4>really sort of gave me the confidence and thick skin.

0:24:04.160 --> 0:24:06.080
<v Speaker 3>So the comments everyone sort of like, oh, I don't

0:24:06.119 --> 0:24:06.560
<v Speaker 3>look at them.

0:24:06.600 --> 0:24:08.800
<v Speaker 4>It's like I've been dealing with this stuff for years

0:24:08.840 --> 0:24:11.720
<v Speaker 4>and physically beaten for the way that I look. So

0:24:11.840 --> 0:24:15.399
<v Speaker 4>now a few comments from people on Instagram who I

0:24:15.400 --> 0:24:18.080
<v Speaker 4>don't know, honestly doesn't know, affect me. So my whole

0:24:18.119 --> 0:24:21.080
<v Speaker 4>position is, you know, twofold coming on here to find someone,

0:24:21.119 --> 0:24:23.960
<v Speaker 4>but honestly, you know, hopefully I can inspire some other

0:24:23.960 --> 0:24:25.800
<v Speaker 4>people that are a bit left of center to be

0:24:26.000 --> 0:24:28.240
<v Speaker 4>confident and help them along the way.

0:24:28.920 --> 0:24:31.000
<v Speaker 2>I like to look at it as you know, you've

0:24:31.000 --> 0:24:33.560
<v Speaker 2>already lowered everyone's expectations, so you've got so far to

0:24:33.600 --> 0:24:36.439
<v Speaker 2>go from here. With the other two, they've they've got

0:24:36.440 --> 0:24:38.600
<v Speaker 2>a higher perch to fall off, you know what I mean.

0:24:39.760 --> 0:24:42.919
<v Speaker 1>I actually, yeah, I very much enjoy the online stuff,

0:24:42.960 --> 0:24:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Like I think it's if you don't know someone personally

0:24:46.160 --> 0:24:48.520
<v Speaker 1>and they're posting it, it's kind of funny, like it's

0:24:48.560 --> 0:24:50.399
<v Speaker 1>like the mean tweets sort of set up. Like, I

0:24:50.480 --> 0:24:52.399
<v Speaker 1>quite enjoy it. The only thing I worry about is

0:24:52.720 --> 0:24:56.359
<v Speaker 1>when family sees it, Like you Grandma's on Facebook and

0:24:56.400 --> 0:24:59.920
<v Speaker 1>she scrolls through and it's just me getting cussed out

0:25:00.080 --> 0:25:03.080
<v Speaker 1>for being white, like the entire time, and it's like,

0:25:03.160 --> 0:25:06.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, she doesn't understand that it doesn't affect me

0:25:06.160 --> 0:25:08.080
<v Speaker 1>and you know, my parents stuff like that. When it's

0:25:08.080 --> 0:25:09.720
<v Speaker 1>for me, it's like, you know, I laugh at it.

0:25:09.760 --> 0:25:12.800
<v Speaker 1>But it's sometimes they're the ones you worry about, the

0:25:12.840 --> 0:25:15.720
<v Speaker 1>people who don't really understand how social media works. Like

0:25:15.760 --> 0:25:18.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, you go into anyone's account and you even

0:25:18.560 --> 0:25:20.920
<v Speaker 1>if they're the best person on earth, you find negative things.

0:25:20.920 --> 0:25:23.240
<v Speaker 1>You have the comments, it's just what people like to do. Yeah,

0:25:23.440 --> 0:25:26.199
<v Speaker 1>but you know, certain generations don't really understand that, like

0:25:26.200 --> 0:25:27.880
<v Speaker 1>why are they saying that? Why are they saying that

0:25:28.119 --> 0:25:29.240
<v Speaker 1>like that that sort of stuff.

0:25:29.359 --> 0:25:32.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, my sister still sends me. This is ten years ago.

0:25:32.400 --> 0:25:35.560
<v Speaker 2>I was on Big Brother and there was people wrote

0:25:35.600 --> 0:25:39.040
<v Speaker 2>all this horrendous stuff. She still sends me the worst

0:25:39.160 --> 0:25:42.720
<v Speaker 2>top five tweets of all time, and they're so funny,

0:25:42.880 --> 0:25:45.960
<v Speaker 2>like as in, they're so outrageous that someone would not

0:25:46.080 --> 0:25:48.679
<v Speaker 2>know or have met you, but willing to put something

0:25:48.720 --> 0:25:51.160
<v Speaker 2>like that together. Just before we go, I ask everyone

0:25:51.280 --> 0:25:53.679
<v Speaker 2>this question to everyone who joins the podcast, but one

0:25:53.720 --> 0:25:55.920
<v Speaker 2>of you can probably answer it, So pick who would

0:25:55.960 --> 0:25:57.720
<v Speaker 2>want to answer it. But what is something from behind

0:25:57.760 --> 0:25:59.840
<v Speaker 2>the scenes, something that we won't see? Kind of like

0:25:59.840 --> 0:26:04.320
<v Speaker 2>a behind the scenes secret of The Bachelor's twenty twenty three,

0:26:05.359 --> 0:26:06.040
<v Speaker 2>I would.

0:26:05.760 --> 0:26:09.480
<v Speaker 4>Say I took the longest to be dressed and done

0:26:09.520 --> 0:26:11.680
<v Speaker 4>up because I require a bit more.

0:26:11.800 --> 0:26:12.840
<v Speaker 6>He's definitely the deal.

0:26:12.960 --> 0:26:15.360
<v Speaker 1>I'll give you behind the scenes one. I actually gained

0:26:15.400 --> 0:26:19.000
<v Speaker 1>six kilos throughout the show as all I was eating

0:26:19.040 --> 0:26:21.359
<v Speaker 1>was Tim Tams because we could order whatever we wanted,

0:26:21.440 --> 0:26:23.480
<v Speaker 1>so I pretty much lived off Tim Tams for the

0:26:23.640 --> 0:26:26.280
<v Speaker 1>entire time. And then as it went on. You know,

0:26:26.280 --> 0:26:28.159
<v Speaker 1>there's a pool scene late in the piece where I

0:26:28.200 --> 0:26:30.680
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh no, I'm going to leave this one.

0:26:30.720 --> 0:26:32.040
<v Speaker 1>I was quite happy to get the shirt off at

0:26:32.080 --> 0:26:33.520
<v Speaker 1>the start of the show, but Tim Tams has done

0:26:33.520 --> 0:26:34.480
<v Speaker 1>an absolute number on me.

0:26:34.560 --> 0:26:36.679
<v Speaker 5>I'll give you something. I'll give you some details. So

0:26:36.960 --> 0:26:39.000
<v Speaker 5>I was actually in shock in the space of an

0:26:39.040 --> 0:26:41.760
<v Speaker 5>hour and a half two hours probably he ate a

0:26:41.880 --> 0:26:44.080
<v Speaker 5>whole family tray of Tim Tams.

0:26:44.440 --> 0:26:47.600
<v Speaker 6>Was like a packet of like there's Cadbury chocolates, how

0:26:47.600 --> 0:26:48.280
<v Speaker 6>they go in the corn?

0:26:48.640 --> 0:26:52.159
<v Speaker 2>Funny Channel ten is network. Ten is actually rebooting The

0:26:52.160 --> 0:26:55.359
<v Speaker 2>Biggest Loser, So maybe, yeah, I'm not eating your way

0:26:55.400 --> 0:26:56.200
<v Speaker 2>into another show.

0:26:56.800 --> 0:26:58.800
<v Speaker 1>If I went on another reality TV sho I'll be

0:26:58.880 --> 0:26:59.560
<v Speaker 1>on that one next.

0:27:00.160 --> 0:27:04.320
<v Speaker 2>For what I went through, guys. I just from being

0:27:04.359 --> 0:27:05.880
<v Speaker 2>able to chat to you guys today, I can tell

0:27:05.920 --> 0:27:08.240
<v Speaker 2>this is going to be a really fun series. I'm

0:27:08.280 --> 0:27:10.320
<v Speaker 2>so excited for austral to finally get a chance to

0:27:10.359 --> 0:27:12.199
<v Speaker 2>see it. And I just want to say thank you

0:27:12.480 --> 0:27:15.359

0:27:15.480 --> 0:27:22.200
<v Speaker 2>very interesting season of The Bachelor now called The Bachelor's Again.
