Speaker 1 (00:00):
Jamesy and Amanda gam Nation. It's been described as the
most brutal takedown on marrit At First Sight last night,
Lyndall didn't hold back when she gave out her final
vows at the Commitment Well, the Final Commitment ceremony last
night and Merritt First Sight have a listened.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
This entire relationship has been on your terms and yours alone.
If there is one good thing that cystic fibrosis has
given me, it's resilience. All my life, I've had to
give up so much. I've been held back, limited and
struggled through trauma and judgment. I wouldn't wish on anyone,
but I have always thrived in spite of that. I
(00:37):
have now been given a miracle, a fresh start, a
new version of my life that is completely unburdened and unlimited.
I won't spend another moment of that life restricted, not
by my condition, not by my body, not by fear,
and certainly not by you. So to put it plainly,
(01:00):
stay in your lane and I'll stay in mind. I
want to build a life I'm proud of, and that
life does not include you.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Boom bumps. Lindall said that, and then when Cam came
back to say his little bit before you start.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Just on that.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
I just feel like, no matter what you say today,
it's and then going to disappoint me again.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
I think.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
I think I'm just done.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
I think you can have that.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Man.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Hi, you gave me in the car.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
I'm me out of here.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
That's that's be done. And then that was it, and
Cameron threw his little speech on the ground. She joins
us right now. Lindall from Married at First Sight, Hello.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Hi guys, good morning.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Good morning, and how have you felt watching this unfold
on television in front of us all last night?
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Oh? I mean released, like, I guess this all happened
to me so long ago, and I don't know, finally
seeing it kind of come to fruition and then like
now I feel like I can move forward, good relieved.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
But you know the thing about this, When I first
saw you guys on the show, I thought, what a
sweet couple. But then I always in the back of
my mind I thought you were in Perth. He's in Darwin.
But he doesn't just live in Darwin. He works offsite
in Darwin. So he was expecting you to go to
Darwin live with his mates while he disappears for months
at a time.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Yeah. I mean the funny thing about that is that
actually on our wedding day, he told me that he
wanted to do a tour of the WA coast next
year was the timing, and well this year now, And
I guess that was like kind of always the plan.
And so when this remote work came up, I was like, what, No,
(03:03):
So I don't know, I don't know. I don't know.
I mean, I guess there's a lot of couples that
are from different states and that's part of something you
have to manage together. But yeah, did you feel.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
That the experts had put you together as a good couple?
Did you feel that, yes, I can see why they
put us together, or were you put together so you'd
have some conflict?
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Well, that's hard because I think that first like that,
especially that first month, like we were amazing, you know,
like we got along like a house on fire. We
always had so much fun. So it's like I can
see exactly why they put us together. But I think
it really required Cam to kind of step up and
prove that he wanted a relationship, because he said that
(03:48):
he did and he said that he was ready. So yeah,
I don't know. I don't blame the experts for sure
what Cam did.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
But also that was his first relationship as well, and
he's a pretty isolated sort of guy.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Yeah, yeah, I think, sorry, no, but that.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Would be difficult. That would be difficult. All of a
sudden he's got you, and he's like, like, maybe he
just panicked.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Yeah, I mean, I mean, I can't speak for can,
but I think that, you know, all those circumstances definitely
played a massive part and how patient I was and
how much I was willing to you know, I guess
wait and see and guide and like, you know, I
tried really hard to communicate quite softly my needs and
(04:36):
like and what I wanted from the relationship. But yeah,
I mean, look, those first few weeks, again, he was great.
He really did try in all of the task and challenges,
and I saw a lot of growth. So I was
very proud of him at that time. But I think
at one point or another he just gave up. He
just leant that too hard, right, and.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
We the last thing we saw last night was his
vow sitting on the ground, just in that little piece
of paper there, and then you squatting in the park
for ages. Have you heard his vows it's been some
time since. Do you do you know what he said
in that?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
No, he definitely has mentioned he said at some point
like I had some really nice things to say, And
I was like, well, if you've said to me at
the time, I have some really important, nice things that
I need you to hear, I would have happily heard them.
But I think, given the last couple of weeks, like
he had every opportunity to say something nice to me
and say something meaningful, and I think he repeatedly was
(05:35):
disrespectful in the way that he delivered all of that information.
So yeah, I just weren't really interested in hearing it
again because it's out.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
There now, it's been it's been broadcast. What he actually
what he actually? I was going to say, do you know?
Because I've got it here, I've got the transcript, I
can I can can cherry pick it for it so
I won't be anything bad. But do you want to
hear it? You don't have to By the way, don't
have to hear this. I don't want to. I don't
want to stress you out or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
But all right, how about how about you pick the
blake I'll candicate it.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
What about Lyndall. If you know me, I'm a very
sensitive guy.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
So and I like you, So Jones, you just find
some nice things and maybe.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
So he said, Okay, positive things. Cameron said, you're an
incredible singer. See, I didn't know that about you. Your
enthusiasm for life and the way you love those closest
to is really something, he admires. You are kind and pathetic,
You have a genuine heart. You always bring a positive
vibe to any room, and that's true. We saw that
on the show. He does, this is him, this is
(06:40):
I am sort of candicating a little bit. Then he says,
but amongst the good times, I've also had my concerns
about the future. Most obvious, we live in different states,
we live completely different lifestyles, and being together will mean
one of us will have to change our lives completely.
Another concern is how we handle our conflict. Okay, you
(07:05):
and I can't sit down and talk through tough times.
But you've never asked the question because you were too
scared of the answer. I don't know what does that mean?
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Oh god? I mean my experience of conflict was continuously
me trying to bring up issues and talk through them
with him, and his immediate response was to shut the
conversation down and genuinely just leave the room.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
And then because he says that here he says accurate. Yeah,
because he says that, he says communication has been a
problem for us, I feel you like to air our
dirty laundry in a public environment, which really pushes my buttons.
He didn't know you're on TV, didn't he?
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Yeah, exactly, we're getting I mean, the whole country was
going to see our problems eventually, I guess, oh gosh.
And I mean, honestly, from my perspective, I knew that
the communication wasn't healthy, and I knew that we have
a massive problem resolving that conflict. But I needed someone
who was willing to sit with me and whether the
(08:06):
storm in those hard conversations not just walk out and
then never readdress them. And that was a big decider
in what I you know, in not hearing his vows
was I felt like I'd continuously tried to have these
hard conversations and say when I was hurting, or say
what I needed or what I think was wrong, and
I think his choice was always to just leave. And
(08:27):
I was like, well, you know what, For once, I'm
going to say exactly how I feel and tell him
exactly how hurt I was, and he's going to have
to listen to every single word. And for the first time,
I'm going to just stand up and say, and you know,
you actually don't get to have a say this time
because you left me there so many times, repeatedly.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
So, Linda, I think a lot of men run away
from having the hard discussions. But as as we're saying,
there he is on a TV show with this is
part of the feed, but you have to discuss this stuff.
He knew that when he signed on.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
It's an honest So didn't he like a our dirty
laundry twice dinner parties in front of everyone exactly because
I don't remember ever doing that to him.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
No, And look, you know, you've come out looking great
in this. You have come out looking fantastic, and you've
won a fan in me. And I think you.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Said yes to the show, Lindall.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Yes, yeah, I am. And I mean even even though
I didn't get the fairytale romance, or well even any
romance I was asking for, I think ultimately I had
such an incredible experience once in a lifetime. And I
made the most amazing friends out of it as well,
(09:38):
so it was absolutely worth it.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
And according to our sources as well, he was planning
on walking off, So you beat him to the pints.
So way to go you.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Oh my god, I mean yeah, So I guess he
liked about what I was.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
And so and and you still were You're still not
here to beep Spider's how you're.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Lindell, you're not here to beat spiders? Excellent?
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Well, Lyndall, it's great to talk to you. It's great
to meet you. The reunion dinner party kicks off this
Sunday night at seven on nine and nine. Now are
you going to that? Are you going to be there?
Speaker 3 (10:11):
I will definitely be there, be there.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
With the Okay, we'll get our dramatic stings out and
we'll be ready.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
