SPEAKER_02

This podcast was produced on the land of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation.

SPEAKER_00

Welcome to Australia. This is kind of tragic.

SPEAKER_01

Someone who is such a connoisseur of reality television. The content is hideous.

SPEAKER_05

So sorry about this. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_02

Um oh I just have one thing to do first, sorry.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Dinner is served.

SPEAKER_04

He almost broke the glass the other night, I thought. Yeah, he did. He went hard.

SPEAKER_02

Did they swap him out one week for like another immigrant worker? Like another working holiday visa. It's just like a visa thing that people have to come and.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. Well, they love European looks so much nowadays on MAFS. They do. That anyone with dark hair and a bit of a swarthy beard just get on up here.

SPEAKER_02

Yep. Someone's done the market research.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

And they're like, we need to hit that wog market.

SPEAKER_04

They're like dumb blonde Aussie slappers want to watch dark men now.

SPEAKER_02

Ash Flanders, how are you?

SPEAKER_04

I'm so good. I'm so excited. I'm I'm in love with love. As this show does.

SPEAKER_01

Oh.

SPEAKER_04

I believe in the beauty, the love of a producer for some dumb idiots that want to make TV.

SPEAKER_02

And there are no dumber idiots, I would say, than this cast.

SPEAKER_04

They are maybe the dumbest of what we've seen. And we've had people throw toothbrushes in toilets.

SPEAKER_02

I know. We need to snap to casting for this year. I don't know how they've done it, but they have every year they sort of up the ante, you know.

SPEAKER_04

And I called it at the start that it's been the year of what if women are the problem? Like the men have barely gotten any screen time at all.

SPEAKER_02

Exactly.

SPEAKER_04

The only time you see the man is when he's chasing a woman after she's stormed out.

SPEAKER_02

Mavs is basically Louis Thoreau at this point.

SPEAKER_04

Mavs is like a cuck chair and shrill. It's like the view with a cuck chair.

SPEAKER_02

It really is. It's really actually subverting gender in a way. It is. Whilst also reinforcing it. Reinforcing that women are the problem. Yeah, the women probably need to stop.

SPEAKER_04

Women should be more submissive.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Or to quote Scott from Oh, you don't watch Untucked, do you? No, but MAFS Untarts.

SPEAKER_04

I've watched one episode of MAFs Untucked.

SPEAKER_02

You're only getting half the story.

SPEAKER_04

You're only getting half the idiot.

SPEAKER_02

As Scott said on last night's episode of Untucked. But you just pull out.

SPEAKER_04

Oh my god. Well, that is insane that Watson wants Philippe Navidad to get the sniff.

SPEAKER_02

So this is I Stella. As we all know. What's going on with Stella?

SPEAKER_04

Stella wants to fuck Scott too. That's what I think.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, absolutely. Before we get knee deep in nafs, nafs, nafs, nafs. Nafs. Nafs.

SPEAKER_04

Navs with an M. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Before we get knee deep in nafs, um we will be talking about other things later. Yeah. But it'll be on the uncut episode. So join us over there on Patreon or Apple subscriptions. Um Ash and I can talk about a lot of other shit. Yeah. And what's on the menu? We're gonna do some Beverly Hills.

SPEAKER_04

Yes, we're gonna talk about all the top model stuff. Because I've actually now seen not only the Netflix thing, but I also watched the E1.

SPEAKER_02

Okay, great, we can do that. And I listened to a podcast about it. Perfect. Um, so you're qualified.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. It'll be fun. Maybe some Survivor 50, we'll see. Do you want us over?

SPEAKER_04

Is Mike White doing okay? In general. Spoiler alert, she's not doing well. Oh no. Is she already gone? Maybe. Because I've seen like very little of him in any of the ads, and I was like, oh he didn't get the break he needed in between White Lotuses.

SPEAKER_02

You'll have to join us on MAFs after the dinner party to for that.

SPEAKER_04

For my grief.

SPEAKER_02

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_04

But uh I'll drink some wine just like he did in honor of Mike White on Survivor and in honor of the dinner parties. In honor of um Juliet just getting hammered and then saying way too much.

SPEAKER_02

But no, so the biggest thing this week, I mean, look, there's been a lot, a lot happens on this show, but also nothing happens in a very long time. But what I have learnt, because we always say this show is us checking in on the straights, and the straights are not okay.

SPEAKER_04

No.

SPEAKER_02

This vasectomy conversation was wild.

SPEAKER_04

Wild. Also, Piers, this season's showing us that the gays aren't doing so great at all. But we're gonna have to talk a lot about it.

SPEAKER_02

We're gonna talk a lot about it.

SPEAKER_04

I think it's a real example of the difference between an Adelaide gay and a Sydney gay. It's just like an age-old difference.

SPEAKER_02

Well, I would suggest the gays are doing worse than the straps, even yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Just because you got clean doesn't mean you have to have kids and a picket fence on the farm. And just because someone has a housemate doesn't mean he lives in a share house with like apparently the way he spoke about him was so hideous.

SPEAKER_02

It was gross. See if you're not watching Untucked.

SPEAKER_04

See, I have Bridget, former guest. Uh she sends me a full detailed recap text.

SPEAKER_02

Bridget, you are doing God's work, darling. She really is. Because I gotta say, I do watch Untucked, but it is on in the background, and I'll be doing something else, and then every now and then I'll be like, Why do you think why do you think they don't show us that footage?

SPEAKER_04

Because some of it sounds really juicy. Is it because it changes the storylines a bit?

SPEAKER_02

It's that. Do you know what it is? It's nine stan machine. I think they're cashing in on like the fan culture around Mavs. And instead of letting other people, like independent content creators, who are there a lot of the comment on this show make any money off it. They want to make all the money off it, and they have extra bits to show.

SPEAKER_04

That makes sense, but why aren't those extra bits in the show if they're so juicy?

SPEAKER_02

I think uh maybe the rating because it's on a pretty early time slot. Oh, so they're too filthy. It's filthy. Ooh! Like they read the texts out.

SPEAKER_04

Yes, well, I'd already gone sadly on the internet to read them all.

SPEAKER_02

We need to talk this week about screenshots, timelines, receipts, and finger bang.

SPEAKER_04

Yes! We've um taken a step in our intimacy. We've um but all of that was so embarrassing.

SPEAKER_02

In our intimacy journey.

SPEAKER_04

I feel like Rachel's on some sort of humiliation ritual, just in general, like everything she says, I feel worse and worse for her. And it started with Paul's, my mate Paul's favorite line I'm not a dirty secret, I'm not your dirty secret. To holding up a sign saying, kiss me in brackets, please. And make me feel something.

SPEAKER_01

Which is then like I'm getting finger banged.

SPEAKER_02

Also, can you believe I am older than Rachel? Yeah. Well I couldn't believe that. Sorry, girl. But when the other day, when it said like 35, I was like, What?

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

I thought she was like, I don't know, she doesn't feel older to me.

SPEAKER_04

She just reads like she's given up so much divinity. Yeah. Like I just hear in Muriel's wedding, you've got no dignity, Muriel. She's you've got no dignity. And when she was like, we just ate nachos and then I watched fishing or something. I was like, Nacho. Wow.

SPEAKER_02

Those cursed nachos. And then every time Team Leader comes on the screen, I ordered the gas. I'm like, she is Team Leader. She's like giving Team Leader.

SPEAKER_00

Do you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_04

Yes.

SPEAKER_02

She's corporate Rachel from Team Leader.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. I feel like Rachel's that girl you meet at a hens party at a winery. You know, and you're like, she's fun. She's fun for a day. Exactly. She has good opinions on movies. Never need to see her again.

SPEAKER_02

She made me feel really funny. I'm sure I would agree.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, yeah. She would, yeah. But not exactly, I don't like the way Gia loves the games.

SPEAKER_02

The way Gia loves the games is she well, she likes the plastic in the face, guys. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Gold Coast loves Sydney.

SPEAKER_02

She saw those lips walk in the door and she was like, Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

This she's like, how many units, doll? How many units?

SPEAKER_02

She went up, she was like, bitch! And he was like, bitch, Helloa! And they were like, Hello! And it was on.

SPEAKER_04

And it was on! And that was the mating ritual was done.

SPEAKER_02

In fact, they need to bring original Haloa back to have a smack down with Chris.

SPEAKER_04

I would love that.

SPEAKER_02

Because she can only have one gay.

SPEAKER_04

And and Chris is not gonna survive.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, I don't know. You think Haloa would win?

SPEAKER_04

Chris wants to be on the farm. Wants to be your dad.

SPEAKER_02

Look, I'll be on the farm and you're me and Sydney, and you can just fly between.

SPEAKER_04

It's so silly to be like, no, and you'll just work your way around me. Like you'll just you'll just do what I want to do, right? What's he doing? Because you're an extension of me.

SPEAKER_02

What's he doing on the farm?

SPEAKER_04

What's he growing? What's he raising? What's he selling?

SPEAKER_02

What is he doing on the farm?

SPEAKER_04

Getting clean. Drying out. Drying out. Like, don't you think there's a storyline where he maybe had a really rough party time in Sydney and made some big changes to try and just, I want to make the life that I think I deserve. So I'm gonna have a house in the country and a baby, and that's gonna make me really happy.

SPEAKER_02

Well, the ex is the ex is out there talking. What does the ex say? Oh my god, I don't know about this. The ex is making wild accusations. Saying what? Well that the baby was theirs, and yeah, it's old bitch.

SPEAKER_04

So they'd only recently broken up or something. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

In fact, he claims they were still together, like when Chris went to be on the show.

SPEAKER_04

Did he mention drugs at all? I get such a party and play PP bar.

SPEAKER_02

But she's out there mouthing off.

SPEAKER_04

I didn't know you could get pregnant from chemsex.

SPEAKER_02

The things you learn on this show.

SPEAKER_04

Pulling out chemsex can make sense. Yes, and fingering, finger banging is no longer funny talk.

SPEAKER_02

So we'll start with the retreat because this was uh the first week.

SPEAKER_04

When's rimming gonna hit maths? Surely next season.

SPEAKER_02

Has there not been a rim gate? No, that'll be next year.

SPEAKER_04

There was rimming on X on the Beach, which I loved and I always talk about more progressive over there. Yes. You can't break up with her, mate. She ate your ass. Like, wow.

SPEAKER_02

I reckon next year, bingo card, rimming, rimming conversation.

SPEAKER_04

Okay, well, you've got to work up to it.

SPEAKER_02

Beck has gone from my least favourite person to ever exist to my favourite person that's ever existed from this one moment. Like I'm radically like finger banging when she was like, alright, everyone, I'm just gonna do a toast. It's me. Okay, we've had some uh had some big developments this week.

SPEAKER_04

Where one lip is heading to like Perth and the other lip is heading to like Tasmania. It doesn't it makes no sense where her mouth her mouth moves in the strangest ways. Wild. Later when it was like, no, because we read the text and her mouth was like Jay, the text from Jaya.

SPEAKER_02

Jaya.

SPEAKER_04

It's like whatever puppeteer is operating, Beck has learned a new trick they could do to make the mouth look completely messed up.

SPEAKER_02

Oh she's so fucking can't. I actually love Beck when she just went and we've had a finger bang and then just because that's me. Like I would do that at this situation. If I found out that someone got finger banged and I was on a friend's trip, I would absolutely broadcast it.

SPEAKER_04

No, if you're on-s the correct thing to do. If you were on a friend trip and your friend said, guys, we want everyone to know that we've taken a step. We haven't had a development yet.

SPEAKER_01

Intimacy development in our An intimacy development. Oh, that sounds very positive.

SPEAKER_04

I'm so excited for you. Tell me more. Touch. Touch is important. Intimate touch. I'm sure I don't have to draw you a picture to know where you could touch her to make her feel.

SPEAKER_02

Don't talk over Don't talk over Alessandra! Show some respect. Show some fucking respect to this mole.

SPEAKER_04

I love Mel and I shout out to Mel who we know is battling illness.

SPEAKER_02

Oh girl.

SPEAKER_04

Do you know what? The show will never be the same without Mel.

unknown

No.

SPEAKER_04

At all. Especially because John doesn't look like he can sit up anymore.

SPEAKER_02

We were watching the other night because I have slowly and slowly dragged my husband into watching this show. Right. And he is kicking and screaming. Yeah. Because you know, I've met I've made him watch a lot of shit over the years. Uh and this was the final frontier. Because this is the one a lot of people struggle with, right? They're like, I'll do anything, but not that fucking wild. Yeah. But exactly. But then now he's full in. And Mel was on screen the other night with her eyebrows raised and he went, Fuck, I wish Big Girl's blouse was still on the television. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_00

Can you imagine like Gina Riley doing Mel?

SPEAKER_04

Gina Riley would do. Would you think Jane would then do Alessandra? And Magda would do John? Actually, I think Magda would be Alessandra and Jane would do John. That would be funny. That would be amazing.

SPEAKER_00

Jane would do a great job.

SPEAKER_04

She would do a fantastic John.

SPEAKER_02

No lips to be seen.

SPEAKER_04

He just keeps like sinking into the cheese. Next is not he'll be on the ground.

SPEAKER_02

Well, apparently he's subbed in for Mel on the UK.

SPEAKER_04

I'm devastated about that too. I don't need Sean Aiken to be our international export.

SPEAKER_02

No, no.

SPEAKER_04

But I don't know who I'd send in his place, but like, yeah. Lucinda. Lucinda should be taking that spot in the UK. Because she's also got a profile over there.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, and now she's doing a few.

SPEAKER_04

Am I her agent? Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

I think she's got a great. Lucinda's still available. She's got a big following. Yeah. She's got a big following. The guys love her. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Everyone loves her. She's nice.

SPEAKER_02

She's crossed all markets. So this retreat, uh. It was hyped up and everything. They were like, this retreat's gonna be crazy. And it look, it was finger bang.

SPEAKER_04

And do you do you think it was our favourite uh producer Gemma, the creator, the character we've created, telling like because someone convinced Beck to give a speech.

SPEAKER_02

Gemma wore boots on the ground at that reunion. Gemma was topping up the glasses with the cheap champers, and she was like, Beck, do a to do a toast bud.

SPEAKER_01

I think we need to get the night going. Just give a little speech. And do you know what? We've forgotten she's been here. Yeah. She goes, Do you know what? Just mention it. Because it's great news. Stephen said he loved it. Yeah, it's funny. Two fingers. How many fingers?

SPEAKER_04

Because it wasn't that indicating. That was the other thing. How many fingers? How many fingers? That was also.

SPEAKER_02

How many licks does it take? They discussed how many fingers.

SPEAKER_04

How many was it in the end? Do we know?

SPEAKER_02

I don't know. He um, of course, doesn't reveal because he's like, oh, he made some microwave nachos.

SPEAKER_04

His hair looks like it's constantly like freaked out as well. Like he's scared on a follicular level.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

That of women. Like he doesn't know what's going on. Yeah. It's so weird. Like, it's like, you know, I don't want to be rude, but it is like when Charlie Sharon plays that character in Arrested Development, and they find out later that like she's not just some whimsical manic pixie dream girl. She's like got mental issues.

SPEAKER_02

That's exactly what's happening with Steven. Yeah. The show's gonna finish, and we're all gonna be like, Did we just witness abuse of someone with like some mild like neurons?

SPEAKER_04

When Steve comes on, this is how the narration should have gone. This is Steve. He likes trains and going on car trips, but he doesn't like balloons and the colour purple. The movie.

SPEAKER_02

And he knows the weather reports from every day of 1984 in every capital city.

SPEAKER_04

Yes, I can name every kind of bus. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Well, he likes boats. Yeah. So they can rest.

SPEAKER_04

So Rachel's should be getting a carers allowance at this point, I think.

SPEAKER_02

She's being cared for with those beautiful nachos.

SPEAKER_04

I was with a friend and they were like, I love microwave nachos. I was like, is it that hard to turn on the oven to melt some cheese? The oven. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

And then the chips aren't gonna get soggy. Also, the chip. That aside, there was an avocado dip involved. Like sorry?

SPEAKER_03

I forget how people live. I forget how people live.

SPEAKER_02

This is the craziest thing about maps is not these insane people they get and the crazy production meddling. It's the fact that this is us. This is people in an apartment building in fucking where is it, like Green Square. Yeah. Um and that's it. And then every now and then they take them to a warehouse to yell at each other that's what they're doing. Over a fake dinner that no one eats. They sit in this building. Yeah. And then they occasionally they let them out to woolies. And they just rile up these idiots. Yeah. Or they go to icebergs and get on the bags.

SPEAKER_04

Well, allegedly, yes. Apparently off their heads. Gurning, I believe, was the word used.

SPEAKER_02

By um Joel? No. Joel was out in the world. No, my friend, by Bridget. Bridget said they were gurning.

SPEAKER_04

Is it gurning or gurning? I don't know. Yeah. I don't know uh drug culture as well as I should.

SPEAKER_02

Gurning, gurning.

SPEAKER_04

Well, that I understand a bit more.

SPEAKER_02

So we had the retreat, uh, which was look, look, Rachel Dole.

SPEAKER_04

How many storm-offs were there? Who left? Like, was Rachel, then Beck left.

SPEAKER_02

Uh the breakout star of the retreat was Juliet, I would say. Okay. This was when people started. Well, people started people started being called cunts. Yeah. And dumb cunts.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Uh, which I say, Juliet, leave that to me. Um actually like stating the obvious. So good. But at this point, it's like a diva off for who can say the C-word the most, and still and then storm offset. Yeah. And it's kind of on between her, Gia, and Beck.

SPEAKER_04

Well, it was just so embarrassing because Juliet was such a foot soldier and a bad foot soldier for Gia. And Gia never showed any loyalty to anyone. Gia did not give a fuck about anyone. And Beck, to Beck's credit, Beck is about the only one of these people that seems to be able to stand on her own and go, like, bring it, I'll cop it, let's go. Gia is weak. I can't stand.

SPEAKER_02

They raise him differently in Adelaide.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, they do. Yeah. Beck will throw down. Yeah. She's got nothing to lose. She's already lost both lips.

SPEAKER_02

I hope that's the final week. Yeah. Uh Beck has just assaulted Gia.

SPEAKER_04

Well, I hope she assaults the geezer, because she's been taken for a long run. Do you know what I mean? Do you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_02

I actually really wanted Beck to know how much I love her. That's why I left the sticky notes around the apartment.

SPEAKER_04

I know it's usually a bad thing to go from wife to girlfriend, but in this case, do you know what I mean? Yeah, we know what you mean, you dumb fuck. You haven't said anything complicated or interesting. We all know what you mean.

SPEAKER_02

You fucked her once and you said dudroot, and now you're trying to like put sticky notes around the apartment.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. He is also that was sad. That was another moment where I felt bad for straight women when she was like, Oh my god.

SPEAKER_01

You wrote sticky notes and bought some woolly's flowers. Was like she'd just been given like multiple organs.

SPEAKER_04

It was like Richard Gere was giving her the necklace or bracelet or whatever. Like it's like she thought she was pretty woman, but she's pretty stupid.

SPEAKER_01

They were sh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh god ja those.

SPEAKER_02

A lower. It was post-it notes on like a box of favourites and like a cheap rose from the same woolies as the avocado dip. Like downstairs in the lot. And you know it's a woolly's metro. That's like it's a woolly's metro. Woolies metro. They are not allowed ten feet near an actual woolly.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, they can't get fennel. There's certain things they can't get. They can get like frozen veg, condoms, lube. It's microwave. Stella doesn't want no condoms, because I didn't know women had a I didn't I didn't know that women are like, I don't like how it feels inside me. I'm like, what are you gonna like more the baby?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, does anyone like how a condom feels?

SPEAKER_04

Do you really feel it that much when you're the receptacle? Really? Can't you get like better receptacle? What a lovely word. But um, can't you get someone just told me she's using the wrong condoms? There are like better condoms.

SPEAKER_02

Like, yeah, those bloody receptacles won't shut up.

SPEAKER_04

No, I identify myself. I I'm I'm receptacle.

SPEAKER_02

Your pronouns are receptacle.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh but like anyway, if someone's got a condom on with me, I don't really go like, oh, it just doesn't feel as amazing.

SPEAKER_02

Well, yeah.

SPEAKER_04

I just go like it's hitting the spot.

SPEAKER_02

Well, yeah, I mean I get it. It's like you don't want to have to be chucking a dinger on every time.

SPEAKER_04

But I get way that when I've been the top eons ago. Yeah, I know, eons ago. But no, when I have and I've been doing it more recently, but when I do it, I'm like, yeah, there's way less sensation when you're the top. But as the bottom, I don't feel like it's not the same level of like what's going on.

SPEAKER_02

Yes, yeah, sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But well, we know in our community it's about getting filled up.

SPEAKER_04

I think that's similar for some ladies.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, oh, totally. But I don't think I've got some lady friends who love taking a load.

SPEAKER_04

So Stella just wants to bear back. She's a bareback queen.

SPEAKER_02

She's a bareback queen, but she's wrapping it in like a traditional value.

SPEAKER_04

Do we bat do we believe any of that, by the way? Can I just How much do we believe about Stella?

SPEAKER_02

I think Stella is low-key the biggest terrorist of this show, and she's getting away with it. Here's why she said to him and everyone that he has to say I love you first, and built this whole story about that, and she loves gendering everything like everyone on this show, and it's like the man has to say that he loves me. He fucking did it, and then she's like, Cool, thanks. I'll think about that.

SPEAKER_04

Now I'm freaking out, and I'm gonna be a bitch to you. Excuse me? Yeah, that is terrorism. That is emotional terrorism. We can't let them win.

SPEAKER_02

No. So I don't know, but she's getting this glowing edit.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, she's really getting a hero edit, but it's not hard in a series where none of the couples make sense.

SPEAKER_02

No, and he's no one's cheating. Why is no one cheated? He's like a garden gnome. Like he's just like on the show.

SPEAKER_04

I know. Waiting to spruok the YouTube series. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Well, he's not very good at doing that, is he?

SPEAKER_04

No, he isn't. I mean, maybe there's heaps of footage we don't see of him going, like, you know, this is part of my routine. And you know, if you follow me, you'd know that why would you follow him anywhere? Yeah. I wouldn't follow him to the bathroom. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

I might.

SPEAKER_04

I know you would. It'd be another bareback queen.

SPEAKER_02

So we finished uh the retreat.

SPEAKER_04

Yes.

SPEAKER_02

Uh Rachel really milked that. Is Rachel playing it up because she loves screen time and the victim stories and everything? Or was she genuinely not wanting all the attention on finger bang?

SPEAKER_04

Rachel is, as my friend Paula would say, Limpy Gazelle. She plays Limpy Gazelle, which is like, oh, I'm really hurt. I need you to come help me.

SPEAKER_01

They're still talking about me getting finger bangs.

SPEAKER_04

I know. It was outrageous. Her reaction was crazy. If she just went, ha ha shit joke, Beck, you bitch, it would have been over. She could even say, that's really messed up. That's really hurt my feelings. We did something really nice, and you've made a joke out of it. I don't like it. The whole day of crying the next day, like just walking to different locations to cry. Yeah. That's gonna be a long life for that guy. What's his name? Steven. Steven. Steve.

SPEAKER_02

And then the victim Olympics between her and then Beck being like, that really affected me.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, that's a race to the bottom. Yeah. Of like who's more hurt by what I said. I'm hurt by what you said than I said.

SPEAKER_02

And then somehow Juliet was involved. Anyway, then we had feedback week.

SPEAKER_04

But again, so I just do need to say this thing of like women being upset and the straight men having to like rush to them to try and make sure they're okay. Yeah, is just not what I grew up with. I had a mum that was like burning you with her cigarettes and cursing you out and was a really strong, like I had such strong women growing up, like that were not to be fucked with. Yeah. And I feel like does. Yes. And I feel like so many of these people are just like so quick to be hurt and need to be helped. And I just can't relate to that. I really can't. It's probably an issue I have.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, the wounded gazelle thing. Just not.

SPEAKER_04

Just doing that for attention rather than just like calmly stating what you want and tell and like setting like a bound. I hate to be too Beverly Hills about it, but it's like set a boundary.

SPEAKER_02

But the bit I loved was her claiming to not want any more attention on it. And then in doing so, drawing all of the attention on it. Of course. And every single time they said finger bang, and everyone said it, I just could I was losing it. Like I loved it. It was so good. It was so good. And they're like, you mean the fingerbang? And I was just like, Yeah. And no one's above a finger bang. Everyone's bent. It is. It's like don't look over there. Yeah, don't look at my head. And then the merch, when she's like, I'm gonna do finger bang merch. I was like, Yes. Also, please, Beck, do that. I will absolutely buy a finger bang hat.

SPEAKER_04

It'll go with your canti hat that you're wearing right now.

SPEAKER_02

A rhinestone fingerbang hat.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, I saw that AI thing someone made of Beck as a finger looking good. That was good. Yeah. I mean, Beck has given us great TV.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

And Rachel, sure. Fine. Rachel is unfortunately rational in some ways, and then in other ways, just deeply emotional. But the emotion's never like joy or when it starts.

SPEAKER_02

Like when she gets going, it's like, oh she takes a while to talk down from the ledge.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Well, again, my friend Paul was saying when Rachel was really standing up for the LGBTQ community. Paula said, Dole, you're an overweight hag at the club, and none of them are gonna fuck you. Don't be nice to them.

SPEAKER_02

Sorry, her standing up for the community by like addressing Tyson for one second, being like, um, I don't think your views are very good. I was like, work diva. Yeah, my hag didn't like that. My hag said, no, let the fags fend for themselves. I agree with that.

SPEAKER_04

Honey, they're all vile, and they are in terms of that gay couple, no winners. No.

SPEAKER_02

So then we had feedback week, which there was a twist, and I love it. This is this Gemma was working overtime with this. She was like, What we're gonna do this year is drop them in with no time to prepare for the couple swaps so that they could put like you know, Gia and Danny together and she'll like really rile it up. But Gia obviously caught wind of this and was like, get fucked.

SPEAKER_04

How funny is that in other past seasons, they've made them like stay the night with each other, they've made them like live with each other.

SPEAKER_02

The goal is for a couple to cheat with another group.

SPEAKER_04

So why didn't they do that this year? Do you reckon they were just like it's not gonna work with this group?

SPEAKER_02

I think so.

SPEAKER_04

I think Gia really spun them because Gia was just clearly not gonna play along.

SPEAKER_02

They are trolling Gia so hard on the after show at the moment. They're like, isn't it so disappointing that Gia spoiled what happens in our mic?

SPEAKER_04

Yes. Didn't Steve or whatever say that? Or Scott? Scott.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Who are these people on this?

SPEAKER_04

I don't know. Oh weirdly, when Scott met up with Stella, I felt like his IQ went up by a good 50 points. He was suddenly using like two syllable words. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

What's going on? And I was like, they actually made a lot of sense to me.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. Well, I do think poor scar. I mean, I can't I can't live for Gia. I don't like chaos like that. I don't I do think she broke the show a bit. It was a bit annoying.

SPEAKER_02

She was made to be on television though.

SPEAKER_04

In that she has no shame and will do anything. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

But I wish And she's a D Var. And she's asking, she's she's got demands now. She's like, I won't come on the show.

SPEAKER_04

But that's the thing, that's the thing where I go, she's a bit of a coward in that sense. Like, I feel like if you're gonna be like, if you're like a Tiffany Pollard and you're just gonna, I'm gonna call it like it is. Only one of them. You have to like Tiffany could stand in any room and claim her space. Yes. And read anyone down and stand and be hilarious and likable.

SPEAKER_02

Nothing of the sort.

SPEAKER_04

Gia is just like, I don't even know. Like Inez was more interesting in the first or whatever second season. Like, Gia's a bit chicken shit fancy.

SPEAKER_02

She's also a bit try-hard. It feels like she's really thought about. The fact that she's a disability support worker.

SPEAKER_04

Like, this is meant to be an empathetic, caring person you can leave vulnerable people with. Are you for real? Amazing. I wouldn't trust her with a pet rock.

SPEAKER_02

No. No. Not at all. Um, should we talk about?

SPEAKER_04

Also, just quietly, do you think she's because I have seen mean comments on Twitter and stuff about um her skin texture? Do you think she is like fully lasering non-stop every day? Must be.

SPEAKER_02

She's doing something. There's a lot of distress on the screen.

SPEAKER_04

But do you reckon she's getting it fixed? Like, do you reckon we're gonna see Gia and it's gonna be like tiniest paws in the world? Probably. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02

She'll have a new head by next like season.

SPEAKER_04

Maybe someone threw acid on her at the Playboy Mansion. Oh, true.

SPEAKER_02

That could have happened.

SPEAKER_04

Never forget she was at the Playboy Mansion for a while. Yeah. I think she has been through a lot, and uh I wish she'd learned some empathy along the way.

SPEAKER_02

But I don't think she did. So we lost two couples. We did. Um, since last ep. We said goodbye to our MAGA couple, Stephanie and Tyson, who I haven't had to the chance to talk to you about yet.

SPEAKER_04

Um which answers the HR question what would happen if you tied an anchor to a woman's leg and then threw her overboard? I gotta say, like if you say you want to fuck him, I'm gonna.

SPEAKER_02

No, not at all. No, I know. I gotta say the discourse around the choice to cast Tyson on this show, I find interesting, and I am torn because there's a lot of stuff like, oh, we all need to boycott maps and stop watching maps because they're putting these people on the show. And I'm like, well, yeah. Like, is it irresponsible? Maybe. Is it entertaining? Absolutely. Do these people exist? Yes. And I mean it's like, you know, you you can watch Louis Thoreau or you can just watch Maps.

SPEAKER_04

Exactly. And I go, I couldn't believe it. I was really like, I don't get offended very easily, but I was like, I can't believe they're putting this on Twitter.

SPEAKER_02

It was genuinely shocking, some of the things you said, but these people are really. I kind of would rather know about it. And again, honest.

SPEAKER_04

The way I see Melbourne slash NAM being represented, we're really annoying. We're apparently the wokest place in Australia. So like it's no so I work in the arts in NAM. I couldn't be more lefty, lefty, lefty in a bubble. So of course I'm shocked by that. But like, I've travelled all over the country, I'm gay as hell. I haven't had that many problems, but I've never met someone like that.

SPEAKER_02

No, neither. And it's like, but this is the thing, it's like, do we want to just watch television where like we agree with everything that happens on it? Like, no.

SPEAKER_04

But I guess it's also just like that. You know when wife spot would be like we believe in like we follow Amish rules, and it's like we homeschool and there are no rules, and it's like there's a lot of super size versus super skinny of it all, where it's like cartoon binary differences.

SPEAKER_02

I think two things can be true. I think it was irresponsible they cast him, and I think it's ridiculous, but at the same time, it's like I also the way the amount of times he said I'm not gay. Yeah, there's some DL shit going on there, but yeah, I just I don't love this conversation around like erase people like that from reality. No, I think it's don't take away my horrible people. I have reserved the right to like troll horrible people on reality.

SPEAKER_04

And my mate said it's like it's important because people who believe the things he believes will also suddenly see how dumb it looks to everyone else. Like it's actually good to have those views challenged on TV. If they hadn't challenged it, that might have been a problem.

SPEAKER_02

Well, that was the that's the other thing. Is the narrative was this guy came on, thought he was great. At no point was he sort of like no one that was ever like, yeah, cool, yeah, you're right. Everyone was mortified by everything he said, and then he left because they were all like, basically, you have no place here. Yes. So that's kind of like, you know, I can fuck with that narrative.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, I'm good with that. There were times actually where as it went on that I felt like he was getting almost unfair, and I'm not on his side, but I was like, he kept saying, like, for example, I'm fine with gay people, I don't have a problem with gay people. And they're like, Yeah, but you don't want them to do it in front of you. And I'm like, I think a lot of men feel that. Can I just be real? I think a lot of straight men think that.

SPEAKER_02

Uh no, I agree. And that that's and that's weirdly why I was weirdly refreshed by him on there. I'm like, at least you're fucking being honest. You're a piece of shit, man. Like, you're disgusting. You're not pretending to be a nice guy, like half of the other guys on this show.

SPEAKER_03

Well, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

You said what you wanted, which was a woman to shut up and and know her place and all this other horrible shit.

SPEAKER_04

What annoyed me more was the way she was so pro-Trump, pro-NAGA, and then went, Oh my god, he's really intolerant.

SPEAKER_02

The bit where she goes, Look, I'm just a little bit more clever about how I go about it. I was like, sorry? Yeah. That was dangerous. That was dangerous. She's like, I'm just nice to these fags to their face, and then behind, you know.

SPEAKER_04

I just vote against their rights. Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_02

She was literally saying that.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. She was like, Real housewives of OC. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

She was like, You'll lose money.

SPEAKER_04

I love the gaze. Yeah, we'll vote against her, but I love they do my hair. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, it was um very ugly from it, but uh she had a weird damage that I couldn't even begin to understand.

SPEAKER_02

Some skin damage as well.

SPEAKER_04

But the fact that she'd been single for so long when she's I thought completely attractive, completely intelligent, nice, ambitious, great. I'm like, wow, so I guess it is just your personality then, is the problem. Because there's nothing wrong visually. No, that's the thing, is Can I just say I wish we'd had more than WOG. I wish we'd had more WOG girls this season.

SPEAKER_01

Sure, yeah.

SPEAKER_04

There was a lot of blondes. Like I would have where was the like Catholic Italian girl that's looking for love and her sisters have all been married, or like where was that?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. No, you're right. We got a lot, and there is as well just the the pitch of um Alyssa is Alyssa's voice that is offensive to the ear. Like so offensive. Absolutely. And that to me, I'm like, whew, we we could really like balance that out with like some fun wog accents.

SPEAKER_04

She would have been great as like um Anne Marie Bright if they rebooted aggro, Vale, rest in power, aggro. Oh my god, aggro. Yes, but she's very like kids' TV host. Like I can imagine it being like, looks like looks like Batman's got it out for him, but it'd be like this, ah!

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. So like Batman is like a next. She's fucked.

SPEAKER_02

She is. And she's so gorgeous. And then she opens her mouth and I'm like, oh, ooh.

SPEAKER_04

That's what Adelaide can do to a person.

SPEAKER_02

The things they said about us. And again, she's a nerf.

SPEAKER_04

Disgusting. Was it Rachel that got a new job? Well, someone got a new job, and like the show's really following them, and it's like ruining their experience at their new job. Honestly, that's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_01

I think it was Rachel. Sorry, Rachel. The fingering has followed her to a new job. How are you gonna lead a team with two fingers inside you?

SPEAKER_02

Imagine if she was a teacher and like the kids were coming up to her and being like, hey, miss. Hey, miss. Finger bang! Yeah! Smell this. Yeah. It would be game up. She'd have to like full witness protection style.

SPEAKER_04

It's true.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

I mean, kids can be so cruel. When I was growing up, a kid once asked the teacher, she was reading a newspaper, and she goes, Do you want to share what you're reading with the rest of the class? And he said, Yeah, miss. I'm wondering why is your job advertised? And she'd been fired, and he was reading the employment section.

SPEAKER_02

And it was not a joke, it was for real.

SPEAKER_04

No, it was for real.

SPEAKER_02

So you've been read.

SPEAKER_04

Anyway, I hope he gets on with the season.

SPEAKER_02

Yes.

SPEAKER_04

Quentin. Good on good on you, Quentin.

SPEAKER_02

Joking in. The other couple we said farewell to was Juliet and Joel. No surprises. There.

SPEAKER_04

How did you feel about both of them? Oh because I found Joel hard work at times.

SPEAKER_02

Joel was hard work. Joel is hard.

SPEAKER_04

There's a lot about me I don't like about Joel.

SPEAKER_02

Yes. But there's also like we're talking about the spectrum earlier. Joel is definitely on there somewhere. I would say on that like hyper-social end. Yes. Like two type A where he's but it's all it's all false, I feel. I feel like it's from a deeply insecure place where he's like vibrating with energy, uh, but he and then he must just like crash hard, right?

SPEAKER_04

But it's good to know that he's back with his one true love. And I don't mean Teddy, I mean Interracial dildos. Oh yes, apparently that video's funny. I've expected it. It's actually quite good. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

And the best thing about it is the comment section where everyone's just like, I don't know what Juliet's on about. This shit's fucking good.

SPEAKER_04

Does it have heaps of views now? Oh, good on him.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, good on him. He's really milked it. Look, from Fat One. He was handsome enough. I think he's very handsome. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

But then he's got some great eyebrows.

SPEAKER_02

Great eyebrows. Opens his mouth on. I'm like, oh. Yeah. I don't know.

SPEAKER_04

A bit used car salesman energy.

SPEAKER_02

Just a lot of energy.

SPEAKER_04

Yes.

SPEAKER_02

A lot of enthusiasm.

SPEAKER_04

Very don't forget your toothbrush. Very cheesy cabaret host.

SPEAKER_02

And then Juliet.

SPEAKER_04

But then I'll take that over Juliet. Well, she was there to be on TV. Was she American? What was the deal with her accent?

SPEAKER_02

She was Melbourne girly.

SPEAKER_04

By way of what part of Colorado in Melbourne are you from?

SPEAKER_02

I don't know. She well, she was just like really happy to be on a show, I think. Yes. That's what I was getting from her. The dumb cunt stuff was giving Wannabe TV villain. Which I love.

SPEAKER_04

She was a dumb cunt. She played everything so badly. And again, another one who couldn't stand on her own two feet at any point. No. She wasn't even like a very good bully. Like what I liked about um what's her husband? I would have forgotten Joel. Is that Joel is I thought Joel is clearly smart enough that he could have gone her back whenever he wanted and read her underground. Yeah. But he was like, that'll make me look like an asshole. So I'm just gonna keep being really nice to you. And she just kept digging further and further down. She was so stupid.

SPEAKER_02

She was real stupid.

SPEAKER_04

Like to be mean and stupid is a bad mix. Yeah. You want to be smart and mean.

SPEAKER_02

And I've got her so because I took when she walked in to the experiment, she seems kind of cool and normal, you know.

SPEAKER_04

Well, it was nice to have some curly hair. Exactly.

SPEAKER_02

And I was like, this looks like some bitch I would like, yeah, fuck with at the at the office. Like she's like a Maria Angelico moment. She was giving Maria Angelico like Maria's divine. Yeah, this girl's girl, not the worst.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Shout out to Maria Angelico.

SPEAKER_04

Friend of the pod.

SPEAKER_02

Friend of the pod. But yeah, no, she was. I thought that's who we were getting. Yes. A fun girly. But it was very not that.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. Damaged.

SPEAKER_02

Damaged. And I love that the show, because they love doing this. It's either they either will edit you to be Australia's sweetheart or a psychopath. And there's no nothing ever in between. Yeah. And the way that they just like gave Joel this edit. And when when she walked out, and then they were like, Joel, can we just say from the experts, from the bottom of our hearts, Joel, as the experts, you are just an incredible person, and thank you so much for everything. It's just like Yeah. What?

SPEAKER_04

Yes.

SPEAKER_02

Crazy.

SPEAKER_04

Crazy. Can I tell you a quick thing? I was just thinking while you were telling that. A crazy bit of trivia. I don't know if this is out of public. But like, you know the the old older Chook and the man that were in the season earlier.

SPEAKER_02

Oh yes. Um the gay guy and what was her name? Can't remember. Sorry guys.

SPEAKER_04

I heard that like he has a bunch of kids to a bunch of different women.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Is that true?

SPEAKER_04

I don't know.

SPEAKER_02

He said he had a lot of kids, didn't he? And they were like adult kids.

SPEAKER_04

Yes, but I have a feeling he wasn't as like South Yara kind of put together as it appeared. I think it might be a cookie hair. Yeah. Well, you're friends with hairdressers and people talk. Oh, is it? Yeah. Love that.

SPEAKER_02

People in Adelaide have been talking.

SPEAKER_04

I loved that. I love that Adelaide is like the man from Snowy River, like this.

SPEAKER_02

I've been walking around Adelaide. Yeah. We've been talking about it. People are talking. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Apparently she's trying to dig up dirt on you. Yeah. Uh no, I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't do it. I don't know what you're talking about. Wouldn't do it. Babe, wouldn't do it. When Beck says babe, babe. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

There's a lot of babe. There's Gia's baby. She's like, babe. And then there's Alyssa's baby. She's like, babe.

SPEAKER_04

I was trying to like wind my mind back to before this show. No, so when who started it with Gia and Beck? And I tried to, and the thing that stuck in my mind was Gia was horrible to everyone at that first girl's night. But she was doing it all in the confessionals. Yes. But remember when she was also like, Why are you being so fucking boring? Why is no one getting it?

SPEAKER_02

We're about to like be on maths. Let's get fucked.

SPEAKER_04

But I do remember Beck saying the which I thought was the first shot, Beck going, She's gonna be trouble. And she said that out loud to someone else already building like an army.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, truly. And has she ever delivered in spurs? But poor Beck, she can't take a separate, she just keeps fucking up. I loved on Juliet's way out when Alessandra called the whole text incident thing. She's like, this is conscious retaliation with the intent to hurt.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Are we in court? Yeah, we are.

SPEAKER_04

We're in the court of Alessandra. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Give Alessandra like a Judge Judy style show.

SPEAKER_04

Judge Alessandra.

SPEAKER_02

I would love that.

SPEAKER_04

And she's just putting on, isn't she like spruking some body lotion all the time?

SPEAKER_02

And she's like a sex bird that never uses the word sex. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, and she's a sex birth that I I feel like all I can say is I don't look at her and I think, oh, you really indulge your carnal desires. I'm like, unless you just desire an Osempic shot, I don't feel like she's just getting very mantisy.

SPEAKER_02

Cheers. Let's talk about the gays. Okay. Finally. Alright. Chris and Sam. So Adelaide is small. If you ask any gay in Adelaide, they know Sam. I've asked like two and they're like, oh yeah, we know him.

SPEAKER_04

And it's also when I've been there, it's the land of the discreet gay.

SPEAKER_02

Big lot of methy profiles with torsos.

SPEAKER_04

But also a lot of like no gay acting, no, don't want to be around like I've got a girlfriend or like I live with people, just come over, we're gonna do this, and then you're gonna go.

SPEAKER_02

It's either like a DL trady or like a cross dressing truck driver.

SPEAKER_04

And I choose the latter.

SPEAKER_02

Same deal. I would love a cross dressing truck driver. Me too. Hit me up. Don't want to be around it. And the story that Chris is like, I was actually doing the laundry. There I was doing the laundry, and I walked out, and oh, Sam was like, hey, come on over here. And I went, oh, okay.

SPEAKER_04

It was rough. I found, I mean, not their sex. I imagine their sex was so vanilla and weird. Who was the top? Gemma, the producer.

SPEAKER_02

Oh my god. Yeah. That's the correct answer. Yeah. Those two bottoms, they were ass up. They were doing what we like to call in the yard, bumping pussies. She had a fucking huge strap on on. She borrowed from Joel.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Fucking rock.

SPEAKER_04

We're gonna sort you boys out. Take the edge off.

SPEAKER_02

Would you like that?

SPEAKER_04

You're both looking a bit on edge. And then when you make some fucking telly.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, get in there, make some telly.

SPEAKER_04

I can't imagine. I don't want to imagine.

SPEAKER_02

They did because I love this when they have to do the boys v girls thing and they have to split them up, and they put Sam with the boys. I'm assuming it's because he's like taller. Apparently they're gonna be less fans. He said something at one point. They cut that in. It was like I chose to go with the boys.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, that's why I chose to go with the boys because I knew it was just gonna be drama.

SPEAKER_02

You knew it was gonna be like dumb bitch drama over there.

SPEAKER_04

And the sick thing I thought was because before he said that, I was like, oh, the producers went, okay, you're more feminine. I was like, my goal is to always be in a relationship with a man where we would both be sent to the women. 100%. I do not want to be with a guy who was sent to go with those men. Even though the women are like, these women aren't particularly great. Uh I don't know.

SPEAKER_02

Could they not have done that? They should have both gone with women. That would have been so fun.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. I mean, but also on that show, we would have done that.

SPEAKER_04

Shout out to like all the straight guys that are just being so like super accepting on the show.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, like for me to say, channel nine, like you are actually breaking boundaries by platforming these gay white men. It's actually amazing. Actually, huge. It's huge, it's actually like because that's as far as dare I say it like world.

SPEAKER_04

That's as far as difference goes.

SPEAKER_02

That's it.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. Yeah. There's still men and they're still white, but they enjoy other white men, as do all the other white men.

SPEAKER_02

And look, the surrogacy conversation. Oh wow.

SPEAKER_04

Whoa.

SPEAKER_02

Wow.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Really exhausted. Chris also had another coming out of sorts on the show. He came out as an empath.

SPEAKER_04

That was crazy. And the fact that he said it like he was offended that he that his empath status was in question.

SPEAKER_02

I'm actually really good with I'm actually an empath.

SPEAKER_04

Wow, that's really surprising. Because actually I've heard quite I've actually heard the opposite. So wow.

SPEAKER_02

I'm not getting defensive.

SPEAKER_04

What's his job?

SPEAKER_02

He works on a farm.

SPEAKER_04

No, but come on.

SPEAKER_02

What is he actually doing? That's why before I was like, what's he doing on the farm?

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, I do not know. I do not. His lips. I do not know what he's doing.

SPEAKER_02

It's beauty lab and laser over there.

SPEAKER_01

And what's Sam doing? Is he he's a PT. Oh wow.

SPEAKER_02

Which is the worst gay of all of the gays. That's the worst one. I don't know.

SPEAKER_04

He looks, it's weird too, because for a PT, he looks kind of more like he'd be like an academic or something.

SPEAKER_02

I saw on Instagram I'm actually getting advertised these, which I'm like, ugh. And it's his him and his PT business. Okay. It's like a fucking, you know, Colt Gym type thing. And he the whole these real videos are of him telling the worst jokes ever. Like he walks in, he's like, oh hey everyone. Oh, sorry, I'm late. It's me, crazy, crazy Sam.

SPEAKER_04

Does it hurt that his name's Sam? Not really. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_02

I mean it shouldn't.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, it would hurt me. I guess I didn't think of it.

SPEAKER_02

I maybe I'm yeah, I haven't I haven't thought about it too much. But now that you're saying it, yes, I'm hurt. I'm offended. Letting the team down.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, you need an if this was Mavs, you would leave the room now because it's really hurt you as a Sam. This really hurts me.

SPEAKER_02

Disgusting.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Come back. And then he's upset. Oh, I've just been called a gaslighter.

SPEAKER_04

Oh my I can we just yeah for the last time. Gaslighting is making someone question their reality. It's not simply disagreeing with them. No. It's not saying like they are trying to control you. It's meant to be you are being someone doubt their actual uh experience, their reality.

SPEAKER_02

Someone giving you false information and saying that that is in fact the context when they know it's not, yes, and they know they're doing it to trick you. I thought we knew that. Can we fucking never use that again?

SPEAKER_04

I thought gaslighting was like we did that with love bombing like a few seasons ago. Yeah. Like I really thought we were done with that word. 100%.

SPEAKER_02

And as much as I hate them both, I did feel for Sam in this situation only because I totally get it. It's like this faggot was just like speaking on his behalf. Yeah. It was just like wasn't really that into that. And instead of him being like, oh sorry, we yes, you're right, we should have spoken about our life together.

SPEAKER_04

But here's the thing like what? Here's what annoyed me is that they kept fighting about the way this bat this thing had happened, but they never talked because I mean, whatever. I don't think either of them really thought that was gonna be a couple, but like I think what needed to happen was for Sam to go, but do you understand that like I don't want to move to Sydney? Or like can we talk about what we actually do want to do? Yeah, but they never had that discussion, they just talked about how like they thought about the fact they hadn't had the discussion and then never had the discussion.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Puffs are annoying. Poofs are oh annoying. I clocked like Let's get rid of them. My friends couldn't when I as soon as I saw the shot of them in the car, I went, Oh, they're not talking at all. That was everything. And then it cut back and you saw them not talking for ages. But I was like, no, that was obvious from the jump.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, wild.

SPEAKER_04

Uh Puffs can not talk, I think, better than straight couples cannot talk. I think poofs can and I'm sure lesbians, Arctic tundra. You can't even imagine. You would not even know.

SPEAKER_01

You would not even know. It would just be like, whoo.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. And it would have a weird compassion to it, like, I'm not talking because I know you can't handle it if I talk. So I'm actually caring for you more by not talking. Whereas poofs are like, you're not gonna get a word out of me. What so you can twist it against me? Can I actually say something first before you say that? Can I just jump in?

SPEAKER_02

Oh my god, when Chris was like, I'm just gonna set the scene, yeah, then you can tell your side, and then we'll come back to me and I'll tell my side. I'm like, no, we've already We're not shit sandwiching. You don't guess two goes. No, exactly. You've already told your side he's gaslighting.

SPEAKER_04

I would have said, no, that's not how we're doing it. If you want to do that, you go first, and then I'll talk afterwards. I know. But I will have the last word or I'll be able to set it up. I'm not losing both seats.

SPEAKER_02

How do we feel about Alyssa and David? Are they for real? No. They are so not for real. No, they're performing.

SPEAKER_04

And for but I actually can't work out for what? Like, what does he want? Like, is he selling a business? What's he trying to do?

SPEAKER_02

And she's Alyssa? I don't know. I just think they love being the target of this text controversy because it gives them something to do on the show. Yeah. Otherwise, they're just sitting in the room.

SPEAKER_04

You can't keep breaking your knee in a sauna. Good work, Gemma.

SPEAKER_02

Um no, they but being called like a cunt rat and a dog rat or whatever it was.

SPEAKER_04

I loved how prison that all was. She's a fucking cunt. Dog rat. Lag to the screws. Yeah. If I'll see you in the fucking yard. Yeah. Are you for real? What? That's what I you forget. Because the the thing they present on screen is often so different. Like, they sound like prisoners.

SPEAKER_02

They truly prisoner. Prisoner. I can see why this show does so well in the UK because I feel like it's like confirmation bias.

SPEAKER_04

That we are an island of convicts.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, they watch it and they're like, I knew it.

SPEAKER_04

But I also think they think we're really hot over here. Because if you go to London, we are. Um like any Australian four can immediately gain about four more points by going to England.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, absolutely. But like, yeah, we need to work hard, they need to step their pussies up, Alyssa and David. I'm bored. And it's not enough to be like, but I don't want text babe. Those text babe, they were disgusting.

SPEAKER_04

What did you think about when Alyssa was like, I don't want you to talk to Beck about it?

SPEAKER_02

And then when he did talk about it was like so produced, it was so dumb.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Because they didn't even know who they were meeting. They forgot that they'd changed that later on, and they still left that bit in, and they were like, Fuck. Yeah. It's like, oh yeah, I saw Beck. And she brought it up.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

What else are you gonna fucking talk about? Gemma back actually did it on the show.

SPEAKER_04

Gemma was like, listen, we actually it'd be great if you could give us a scene where you're saying if it is Beck, don't say anything.

SPEAKER_02

Don't say anything, because it might be back, it's gonna be Beck.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, no, it already was, we've already shot it. Yeah, we've already shot it. Ah, that's what I think.

SPEAKER_02

Remember three days ago when we shot that scene.

SPEAKER_01

We just think the episode needs something, you know.

SPEAKER_02

We're just gonna shoot a scene now at Woolworth's Metro. It's a cost promotion.

SPEAKER_04

Well, it's just that I don't think any of them are very good actors, but maybe, who knows? It is funny when you see those extra clips and Gia's like yelling to the producers, like, yeah, we'll be back in in a sec. I loved it as well. You just heard this gay male producer be like, Gia. Yeah, Gia, and he was kind of laughing while he was chasing her around. He's like, Gia, come on, Gia.

SPEAKER_02

I love all the footage, all the like off-camera footage we're getting where it's like, yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Sorry to jump into the dinner party thing, but um after the butt like Gia doing the puppet mastering of like telling one person this, then immediately clipping it.

SPEAKER_02

We can't actually back Juliet anymore. Yeah, I can't. No, she's she's leaving anyway, so just let her go. The fact that she knew she was Gia has all the tea. Yes, she's amazing.

SPEAKER_04

The fact that she told the real show that she told Beck what Juliet was gonna do, and then told Juliet someone in production told her. Anyway, it doesn't matter. Amazing, amazing.

SPEAKER_02

I love as well. Our girl, what's the voiceover artist's name? Oh my god. Um Helen Helen Delamore. Helen Delamore. Helen Delamore being like the text message the text messages have accidentally been cycled through the group of participants by Juliet. I'm just like, shut the fuck up, Helen. Yeah, Helen. You dumb rat dog cunt.

SPEAKER_04

But as Bridget suggested, Helen is just recording this from some room in her house and laughing all the way to the bank. I hope Helen Dalamore is making so much money out of this show.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, she we shouldn't uh direct it at Helen.

SPEAKER_04

Oh my god, Helen's reading a script and she's the only one on the show that can act.

SPEAKER_02

But the way they were like, oh no, the text messages have made their way through the group. How could that have happened?

SPEAKER_04

Maybe when Mel leaves, Helen should become one of the experts and be like, well, it seems like you're not being very honest about your needs with your partner.

SPEAKER_02

I don't want to see her to be able to do that. No, I know. It's true, we just need the voice. Who are they gonna replace Mel with? This feels really.

SPEAKER_04

Oh my god, Jackie O's free. She needs a gig.

SPEAKER_02

Fuck.

SPEAKER_04

Kate Ritchie.

SPEAKER_02

I think you're right.

SPEAKER_04

Do you think they'll try and get someone from like a psychological background?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. No.

SPEAKER_04

Albanese.

SPEAKER_02

Psychological warfare. Oh my god. Uh let's talk about Beck and Danny.

SPEAKER_04

Would have been great if Aggro could have done it, but now Aggro's gone. That would have been perfect.

SPEAKER_02

Like, look, mate, Aggro told us that we really need to step up our intimacy. Thanks, man. He's in the corner. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Hey, you're a fucking moron.

SPEAKER_02

Fucking do it. Finger bang. Um Beck and Danny, we've chatted a little bit about this geezer. Oh, I'm done.

SPEAKER_04

He needs to go to MAPS UK and he should have never been on here. Do you know what I mean? He shouldn't have been on.

SPEAKER_02

I'm here for love.

SPEAKER_04

Do you know?

SPEAKER_02

I'm actually here for love.

SPEAKER_04

You're here for a guy Richie movie, and I don't think those happen anymore.

SPEAKER_02

He's tidied up the looks a bit. He took some some risks with wardrobe, and I'm glad we've stepped that right back.

SPEAKER_04

His hair's bouncing a bit of red. I'll say that. I don't know what's going on with his colour, but it's looking a little odd. And Beck also is just like subsisting on a diet of just apologizing.

SPEAKER_02

Her face is getting so thin, she's looking like my favourite Beck moment from these last couple weeks was I think it was at the retreat, she'd had a few wines, and she looks straight dead down the barrel of the camera, and she goes, My husband's got a big package. Wink wink. Oh my god. And I was like, honey.

SPEAKER_01

No, but nothing subtle.

SPEAKER_02

I wonder what her life's gonna be like.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, the one thing I'll say about her is she is honestly a mess. I don't think she's trying to be a mess. I think she's shocked to learn she is a mess.

SPEAKER_02

True.

SPEAKER_04

Like I don't think she planned any of this.

SPEAKER_02

I think she's just like she's being 100% authentic. Yeah. Yeah, I talk shit in a message because that's what I do. Like, I love it. Whereas Gia's kind of like mapped out her journey.

SPEAKER_04

Gia's doing stunts and shenanigans.

SPEAKER_02

So what next? Like, is Jir and Scott? Clearly Jiren Scott are dumb. We know that that's been spoiled. But like, how are they actually gonna end it on the show? I don't even know.

SPEAKER_04

Surely they don't leave together.

SPEAKER_02

No.

SPEAKER_04

Who do you think? Do you think anyone's gonna say yes and yes at the end?

SPEAKER_02

Probably Stella and Philip. And maybe Rachel and Stephen.

unknown

And maybe Beck and Danny.

SPEAKER_02

Oh like I could see them both. And maybe Alyssa and David, but I feel like something's gonna happen. Has to. Well something has to happen. We've got some we've got a few weeks to go. Need some drive.

SPEAKER_04

It would be amazing if Rachel did the classic, like, and you know what? I do deserve better. And she left.

SPEAKER_02

I would actually love that.

SPEAKER_04

We need Rachel to have her dignity. Because she's not here to raise a boy. That's what you know the gay guy wants to do or whatever.

SPEAKER_02

Yes. He wants to raise something. I think we need Asio to investigate the farm. It's all I'm gonna say. Yeah, what's he growing?

SPEAKER_04

Something's is it a farm or a grow house?

SPEAKER_02

Ash, should we head over to Uncut?

SPEAKER_04

I guess.

SPEAKER_02

It's time to do some uh the rose kicking. The rose is kicking.

SPEAKER_04

And the lips are getting loose.

SPEAKER_02

You better you better follow us on over there. See you in a second, doll.

SPEAKER_03

Bye bye.
