Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda jam Nation.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
We're going to talk about something that you brought up
from our socials and the bigger picture here is that
the Golden Bachelor Bear and his chosen one, Sonny went
public yesterday saying, yes, we can now finally reveal where
a couple, we're in love. We can now get on
and live our lives. You've had to have a relationship
in secret since the show wrapped and all of that.

(00:24):
Most people thought he would picture Nette, not the blonde,
a very smart, lovely blonde woman. People assumed he would
have chosen what people think is the traditional choice for
a man like Bear. This is what's interesting. Her Sonny's
daughter Chloe took to socials just like a week ago

(00:45):
and said that her mother, because she's Asian, has copped
a lot of vilification Australia.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
With an Asian mom, I have seen Mom makes her
in so much racism and so obviously you know her
being on the show. I was terrified for that from
the possible contestants and the Australian public and it's just
worse than I could have imagined, like, especially because I
thought there would be at least some moderation from Town
on nine like it's actually a joke, like top comments

(01:14):
with you know, a hundred likes, and they just leave
it that like it is not okay. And obviously, you
know white boomers, Unfortunately, you're gonna expect a lot of
racism amongst that group. So maybe I should have known,
but it is horrible.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah, so she was expecting that Channel nine would at
least moderate some of those comments, but how awful those
comments existed at all. And Jenny, you said, this is
appalling that you've seen the same thing on our social Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
So yesterday we posted the announcement that Bear and Sunny
that Bear had chosen Sonny. Unfortunately, I expected, which is
really sad, a few comments, so I knew that I
had to moderate closely. But the amount of disgusting comments
we received was really honestly appalling, and I don't want

(02:05):
to repeat any of them because that honestly unacceptable.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
And when you moderate stuff, what do you actually do?
You just delete them or no?

Speaker 3 (02:16):
So in this case, I hide them because whenever I
delete something, then the person will go back to the
post to see if it's been deleted. If it's been deleted,
then they'll blow up saying that we're silencing them or whatever.

Speaker 4 (02:29):
It's.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
If it's hidden, they can still see the comment, but
nobody else can.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Normally, when at the end of these sorts of shows,
if he chosen someone and someone wanted the brunette or
someone thought someone else should have got it, there might
be some discussion. But it's not this kind of vilification,
is it.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
No, not like this. The comments that we've been getting
have been very personal, very very racist, and unfortunately they've
received a lot of likes, these individual comments. And yes
there's the odd you know, Sonny doesn't deserve this and
all that, but the majority of them, it's it was
very eye opening.

Speaker 4 (03:05):
Yeah, and tell you what, Ray So, I always thought
that Jeanette was the right. This is what we were saying.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yes, we're kind of conditioned to on these shows and
Big Brother all those shows, everything where Australia votes, No,
we're not voting on this, but our normal choices fall
back on those traditional results.

Speaker 4 (03:26):
But those are the sort of comments you keep to yourself.
You don't go and post publicly.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
Yeah, under your public name, yourself.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
Say to your mates on the building side or whatever,
or the ladies at the tea rep or.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Just shut your pie hole. Just shut your pie hole.
I'm stunned at this. Thank you, Jenna, and thank you
for moderating our socials in a way that Channel nine hasn't.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
Absolutely, you see stuff that we don't have to see
and we thank you for that. Jenna. Jenna's like a
sacrificial anahte.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
But it's interesting that you know that. What an awful insight, yes,
as to what a big part of Australia did you
just keep.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
That stuff for yourself. You know, we don't just say
stuff willy nilly on the radio. I know it seems
like we do, but we don't. We filter ourselves, do you.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
Thank you, Jenna,
