On today’s podcast I have Luke, Ben and Wesley who are Network Ten’s latest Bachelors!
All three had their hard launch last night on Network Ten…. And guys while a lot of viewers had lost their love of this franchise I am here to tell you this season is better than ever.
Our Bachelors all join me today for a quick chat and while there was a small issue at the start of their record - I am sure you will enjoy meeting all the boys unfiltered and ready to unpack their time on the show.
‘Luke the Lumberjack’ is a proud self-proclaimed softie. He wears his heart on his sleeve and often wells up at the slightest sentimental moment. Not the usual ex football player if I can say that. With close-knit roots in rural Queensland, Luke has a deep bond with his family and works alongside them in the forestry trade.
While Bachelor Ben has travelled the world as a successful model in the past, it is his work as a sustainability entrepreneur that has his feat firmly on the ground. As an impact investor, Ben helps eco-friendly start-ups protect the environment and build better futures using renewable energy. I am mildly obsessed with Ben who will no doubt elicit a decent response from audiences this year.
Finally Wesley has a deep commitment to finding true love and upholding the values he was raised with. Throughout his dating life, Wes has struggled to move beyond the initial phases, often finding it hard to establish a lasting connection with someone who shares his vision of “The One.”
- We will talk about their reservations signing up, if they called this exes and if their competitive nature in the way of their dating.
- I’ll ask about Osher and what he is like to work with. Does he help give advice and why he makes a good TV host?
- We will find out who would likely go on Only Fans, sign up for another reality show and who would marry a stranger?
Plus we will get plenty of exclusives from behind the scenes of ‘The Bachelors.’ Which as I mentioned has started on Network Ten and you can catch up on Ten Play if you fall behind.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's in the news today, but it was actually on
TV Reload, the podcast last week that might welcome back
Guys to TV Reload. As you may know, my name
is Benjamin Norris and this is your podcast to get
all the inside goss on the popular TV shows that
you may be.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Watching from around the world.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Undeniably, our TV sets are a major part of our
home entertainment, and yet very little is known about how
our favorite shows get made. So each episode, I've been
finding the guests that want to dive just that little
bit deeper into the shows that they're currently making so
that you can hear all their exclusive stories and gain
access to the biggest names in Australian television. I want
(00:35):
to thank you for downloading or subscribing to this podcast
however you've found me.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I love hearing your feedback.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
So make sure you leave a review or a comment
on your chosen podcast platform. On today's podcast, I have Luke,
Wesley and Ben who are Network ten's latest bachelors. All
three had their hard launch last night on Network ten
and Guys. While a lot of viewers had lost their
love of this franchise, I'm here to tell you that
this season is better than any other season I've seen
(01:01):
of this show before. Our bachelor's all joined Beyond the
podcast last Friday, and while there was a couple of
issues with the record, I'm sure you will enjoy meeting
all of these boys unfiltered and ready to unpack their
time on the show. Luke the Lumberjack is a proud
self proclaimed softy. He wears his heartily sleeve and often
wells up at the slightest sentimental moment. Not the usual
(01:24):
ex football player. If I can say that, while Bachelor
Ben has traveled the world as a successful model in
the past, it is his work now as a sustainable
entrepreneur that has his feet firmly on the ground. I
personally am mildly obsessed with Ben, and no doubt he's
going to have a lot of fans after being on
this show.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Finally, we have Wez, who has a dig.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Commitment to finding true love and upholding the values that
he was raised with throughout his dating life. Wes has
moved from Brazil to Australia and he is trying to
move beyond that initial phase of trying to establish a
lasting connection with someone who shares his vision of being
the one boiler alerte Wesley has never had a girlfriend,
which is really bizarre if you ask me, but you
(02:05):
can hear that in his storytelling today with his lack
of confidence. We will talk about their reservations signing up
for The Bachelors, if they called their exes, and if
their competitive nature got in the way of their dating.
Whilst on screen, I'll ask about Osha Ginsburg and what
he has liked to work with, does he offer help,
does he give advice, and why he makes a good
(02:26):
television host. We will find out more about the boys
as I asked them all, who would most likely go
on OnlyFans sign up for another reality show, and who
would be most likely to marry a stranger. Plus, we
will get plenty of exclusives from behind the scenes at
The Bachelor's which, as I mentioned, has started on Network
ten and you can catch up on tenplay if you've
(02:47):
fallen just that little bit behind. Anyway, guys, let's bring
the boys into the podcast. And while I hope you
enjoy getting to know all three bachelors, I do have
to say right at the start there was a bit
of a technical issue, which means you're kind of joining
the chat. As look, Luke is talking about his rationale
of signing up to this series post his football career.
Sorry guys, the recording just stopped for a second, but
(03:08):
I'll just keep going.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Sorry, So what made you want to turn you back
on the footy?
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Oh well, I had needam while I was playing the
NRL and that sort of end of my career, and
then went home, and you know, I was sort of
probably struggling personally in that time.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
In who I wasn't what I want from life.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
I just went back working with my old boy in
the family business and sort of I suppose grounding yourself
a bit to a point where I wanted to bring
something stress in my life. I want a family. I
want to be married and have kids and everything in
the future. So just seeing like that, that time was
upon me and I suppose the footy days and the
young sort of party and lifestyle was yeah, well and
(03:46):
truly behind me, and yeah, I want it more from
life than that.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Yeah, well, I can tell you right away that in
the first episode is a good shot of you chopping
down a tree. And if you don't find any chicks,
you know, with this show, I think that you could
definitely put that on your gram and I think you'll
be fine. Yeah, I paused it, so, yeah, I'm in trouble.
(04:09):
I'll put it in slow mo and I won't be
the first and I won't be the last doing that.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
You know, did the.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Producers find the right women for you? Because I think
the women all look quite expensive this year. I mean
some of them still have fillers, but they all still
feel more real than some of the women we've seen
on TV before. You know, having those chats with the
producers about who you were interested in, did they get
it right?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Absolutely?
Speaker 5 (04:30):
All the women there were beautiful. It's obviously it's obviously
very hard when you know you have a limited number
of women and time as well.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
But I think you know everyone was there for the
right reason.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
They were really genuine girls, a really beautiful or bought
something different to the table as well, so you know
something there for everyone was absolutely Yeah, So I think that,
you know, without without obviously knowing the future, I think
they did the best job that was was possible for sure.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Do you know what I love about these shows as well?
Speaker 1 (04:57):
I don't know if the girls were dehydrated and that's
why it looked like this, But Wesley, when you came out,
all the girls start licking their lips.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
They literally look like wolves. Maybe they'd made them dehydrated
to make them do that.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Like you start coming down the stairs and all of
them are that.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Who's this average guy here? That's what they've been Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Not at all. I was like, this Brazilian guy is
off tap. But I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Maybe maybe they gave the girl some money, don't wait
before they came on South. What you know when you
were approached to do this show, Ben, you know, was
there any hesitation about doing something like this?
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Did you have any questions when they started talking to
you about it?
Speaker 6 (05:34):
Obviously there are some some risks involved that you think
about a little bit, But you know, I was just
I was a really disappoint in my life where I'm
really ready to meet someone and really go all in.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
So overall it felt like the right time and right
place for me to pull the trigger. And yeah, and
it's one of the best experiences I've ever had.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
So I'm over the moon.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Look, do you know if it doesn't work out, if
you a romance and the other two like, what's the
connection been?
Speaker 5 (06:03):
Like? Yeah, absolutely, I was like in the middle getting
out everyone.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
What is the romance like between the three of you, Like,
what kind of camaraderie have you guys managed to muster up?
Speaker 5 (06:17):
As it was saying, Yeah, my kids asking us if
we found love, and like the answer is yes, and
that's with each other.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
So what's really funny was that I was driving down
Chapel Street in Melbourne about three months after the last
Bachelor's and I saw two of the bachelors sitting there
having a drink together.
Speaker 7 (06:33):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Yeah, they were still hanging out, and I was like,
there was no women there, and I was like, it
looked like they're on a date.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
So probably probably contracted. They probably still couldn't say anyone
of them.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
I'm hoping it's more of a siblings type relationship between
the three. Yeah, Wesley, what about the competitiveness between the
three of you? Did you start to worry about you
what happens if I don't? What if they find love?
Speaker 5 (06:57):
You know?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Was there any competitiveness between the three of you?
Speaker 8 (07:01):
Yeah, I guess you would have seen in the first episode.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
It was there was no.
Speaker 8 (07:08):
One owned anything, no one owned anybody, so it was
like fair game for all of us.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Yeah, there was.
Speaker 8 (07:13):
That was definitely competitiveness. But it was also like a
it wasn't genuinely if that's a word competitive. Sorry, I'm
still learning English. But yes, like I'm a big believer
in what's meant to be is meant to be. So
if someone is learning to you and somebody else is
meant to be you know.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
So did I answer your question? No?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
No, no. Look, when you don't know English that well
and you look as good as you, it's just all
very sexy.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
It's all very Brazilian, So you.
Speaker 8 (07:39):
Know, gonna be honest with you, I generally don't find
myself attractive, so when you see that stuff, I find
so funny.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Okay, well we're going to need to have that. We're
going to take that conversation off the podcast, but you
need you need a talking to my friend. Look what
about Asher though was here? Are you able to form
a relationship with him as the host? Like do you
get to spend some time with him? Is he helpful
throughout the process?
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (08:06):
Absolutely, Like obviously that when we first came in and
like they're off the bat, sort of helping us in
and having a conversation with us and settling us into
everything and make.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Us feel comfortable because I know and I'm sure the
other boys are too.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
Like I was, yeah, you know, nervous as yell in there,
so I just was areos to come in? Had laugh,
help to sue and yeah, it was there sort of,
you know, for the difficult parts of the journey when
you have to and goes home and everything.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Yeah, I mean he's done this for however many years
he's done.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Yeah, the fresh though guys, like you know, he still
looks like it's his first season every time, like it's
a good quality for him to have that every time
he turns up, he treats it like it's the first time,
you know.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
And he's very good at asking asking the right questions
to kind of to help us, help us really open
up and let the audience know kind of who we
are and what we're thinking.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
No one can see the obvious as good as him.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
He's been writing the show, Wesley, that's his job. That's
what he's pay.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Rok walks into a room, is the first person to say,
that's a frock, you know, and that's what's good about it. Ben,
did you get worried about if things got too steamy
what your family would think of this? Like, were you
worried that maybe this is not good content for your
mom or you know.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Yeah, mom, yeah, yeah, there'll be there'll be a couple
of scenes. I'll make sure mom's busy on those nights.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
Those episodes I've got to bear marked and like, Mum,
I think.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Yeah, I'll skip this one.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they've pulled that one. They're playing sport
tonight instead.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
I swear that wasn't me, Mom. They must be editor,
you know hows like.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I don't know. That's the thing that I'd always be
really worried about.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I'd be like, I don't know if I could go
on a dating show because I would just be the
whole time thinking about my mom.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
But I guess you really shouldn't do that. It's not sexy.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
Moms want us to be happy, so things like when
they when at the end, like when they see how
happy and how much we've grown, it's yeah, that's that's
the that's the real real win.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
At the end of the day, we're going to see
some drama with the fact that you've got all these
ladies together, and are they get across the streams? Are
they going to start with one and then maybe look
at the other, like there is that going to be
what's going to go down this year, because like when
you put all those ladies together and three handsome men,
I mean in the first episode, some of them don't
know where to look.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Yeah, that's that's the beauty of there being three bachelors,
is that the we're going to get a chance to
choose as well. So it's not just us, but so
you know, we did we need to put our best
book forward just as much as what they're trying to
do as well.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
I love this format.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
It's like the Neapolitan ice cream is the way that
I like to refer to.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Oh yeah, oh gotcha.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
If you don't like vanilla, that's okay, because we've got
chocolate and.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
You know what, definitely chocolate.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Okay, well, Wesley, if you could be chocolate. But that
makes it sound like we're not being very politically correct.
But anyway, if your chocolate, what Wesley, If your chocolate,
what are the other two?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Oh that's that's the hard question. Hey, Well, because Vanila
has vanilla has.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
The kind of an additional like boring, Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
If my English is correct, that's.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Okay, Wesley. They won't mind just tell them.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Which I think they like cookies and cream.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
You know, he doesn't want to answer this.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
He's now onto, he's onto a different flavor altogether.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
We're all going to a bit of a special.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Yeah, we have to. I'm aborting that.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
I'm aborting all ice cream chat now the special Solaus
has been mentioned. Ye, what's the hardest thing about dating?
How many girls are there? There's like thirty, I.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Mean, how many people?
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Twenty four?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
What's the hardest thing about dating twenty four women?
Speaker 5 (12:00):
The hardest part was giving everyone like a good amount
of time to really you're very much like trying to
get to know who they are very quickly and kind
of straight in, straight into it, and if there's no
sparks straight away, it can be quite tricky, which can
also be unfair because then it might not hit it
off straight at the start, but then later on and
then you notice something like down the line and that,
oh I.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Didn't see that. No one but everyone's dealing with nerves.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
But you're trying to speak to twenty four different ladies,
and it's like it's really difficult.
Speaker 8 (12:27):
Yeah, no else in the freaking world I would do that,
you know, Like I'll say that the boundaries off.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
We all here for a reason. We've all signed up
for this, So do I see something Betty normally date's
like only fifteen exactly.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
That's what I'm laughing at. Wesley.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
I'm like, yeah, I mean, you could have your own
spin off show back in Brazil and you'd be dating
thirty women, right.
Speaker 8 (12:49):
I appreciate there is no Batchelor in Brazil, but if
you know someone in Brazil.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Okay, well I'll call the producers.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
I'll just have a few friends to recommen No. But
I think the hard thing.
Speaker 8 (13:01):
Was to kind of like get in this headspace of Okay,
I'm going to be when I'm with someone, I'm fully here,
I'm fully present, and I'm not.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Thinking on anybody else.
Speaker 8 (13:09):
And if I kiss someone, that doesn't necessarily mean that
I'm cheating on somebody else, because well, we've all signed
up for this, you know.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
So that was a very freaking mindset again, just walking.
Speaker 9 (13:21):
That line of respect like you obviously every single person,
I want to be very respectful of everybody, but you
also you also want to invest and connect with people.
So I was, yeah, I think it's a difficult one
to walk, but yeah, I'm actually really confident.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
That you know, we did it really well? Yeah, so too?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Is this a spoiler to ask this question? But which
out of the three how does it end? Okay? Great?
I know kisses.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
The most amount of girls out of the three of you.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
I think I don't kiss and tell, so you have to?
Speaker 2 (13:59):
That just reads like you lost count. That's all that
reads like.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Remember, Mum's going to be watching this. I had to
keep it somewhre pg.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Okay, Well, I want to ask you just a few
quick questions which I think will help people get to
know you guys a little bit better. First, one bit racy,
which one of the three of you is the most
likely to do only fans?
Speaker 3 (14:23):
That's gonna be all where don't you see me twoking?
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Okay, great, all right, I'm looking forward to that. And
also put in slow move which one of you is
more likely to marry a stranger?
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Stranger? What do you mean?
Speaker 5 (14:38):
Like?
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Does that mean like really quick?
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Like just yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Which one of you is the most likely to you know,
put it all on the line fast?
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
If there was some alcohol involved, absolutely these two are
pretty close married.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Notting to work that out. It feels like we're falls
a crowd, right, now Benning. But maybe fans are out
which one of you would be the most likely to
go on another reality show after doing this?
Speaker 5 (15:06):
Yeah, that's just.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Dancing with the stuff. Yeah, I could show some some.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Wesley. You could be the new Ricky Martin. Maybe in
sing too?
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Actually is a triple threat.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Okay, well it's definitely him. He's definitely going on another
reality show. Let me tell you if you can sing,
he could, and the rest of you can go into
the jungle or whatever it is that's left after that.
Who's most likely to be the last man standing on
a night out?
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Yeah, trying. I'm never going home.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
A good one to ask you as well? Maybe I'll
get all three of you to do This is what
gives you, guys? The I like Luke, I will start
with you when it comes to meeting a girl.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
What gives you out?
Speaker 5 (16:01):
I don't know whether you even call it an ick,
but I just like I can't stand when like someone
has like they won't eat a lot of foods that
they're like, oh, I only eat this, I only eat that,
like because I'm like, I love you, I love you
heaps different foods. So like a girl's like got a
very specific by to requirement. That's sort of like a yeah, bit.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Of a no from me, Yeah, Ben, what gives you
the ick?
Speaker 3 (16:25):
A lot of likes like and I'm live all the time.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
That kind of winds up a bit. But I think,
like like just bad manners. I like, you know, if
we're out, then no phone. I like someone to be present.
If I'm there and I'm giving you everything, I'd like
to get.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
That in return.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
I feel like we're all going to now be really
conscious of saying the word like.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
I think you just used that in the sentence as
you said it was your ick.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Like when someone's like.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
It's when you say that to people though, you know,
like back in the day when they used to audition
people to do reality shows, they do these casting calls,
and that was the thing was that producers wouldn't cast
people if they use the word like too many times,
like that would be like a veto so, but then
you'd say to them trying not to say like, and
then it populates the conversation.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Anyway. It's a very long, boring story. I'm so glad
I told it, Wesley.
Speaker 7 (17:16):
For you.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
What gives you the ear?
Speaker 8 (17:17):
I think when a girl complains a lot you know,
like I'm like, life is too good to be true.
So someone is just like always complaining. By the way,
there's raining. You're like, oh yeah, that definitely gives me
the because yeah, I think life is too good.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I mean, you have no complaints, right, zero.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Zero.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Well, this show was filmed.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Like a little while ago, and I was going to
ask you, like, how do you keep the outcomes of
this a secret? Like I mean of these girls wearing
like mustaches and Fedora hats and meeting you in you know,
the back of parking lots, Like if you've all found
love and we don't know if you do, you know,
how do you keep this a secret?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
What are you doing? Do you just not see the
girl for a while.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
I'm really going to keep the secrets.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
It's just that people I tell who can't keep.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Like organized a night in a hotel, like you know,
if you found love and you've then got to wait
like however long until you can go, and.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
This is all it's all very confidential behind the scenes stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Yeah, yeah, okay, I feel like that's I feel like
that's not a proper answer. But anyway, you know, if
all of you're on like the verge of becoming kind
of insta famous from being on a show like this.
Are you worried about losing your anonymity? Like, is there
anything now that people know who you are? Does that
make you get concerned about the way in which you
(18:43):
normally would live your life? Does it make you change
the way in which you go out at night?
Speaker 5 (18:46):
I mean, I think I think there's going to be
pros and cons to everything from you, which is I
think is definitely something that we weigh up before before
coming on to show up the Bachelor's But I think
at the end of the day, like our friends and
family and closest to us definitely know so who we are,
and that's the combetti opinions that we're going to really
hold on to, and that will be important, you know,
(19:08):
coming up when we're dealing with whatever we're going to
deal with coming up.
Speaker 10 (19:12):
You know, the only thing that I really wanted this
show to change was my relationships that so I don't
think yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Effected so much to it.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
I always wonder whether you guys were going on a
show like this, would talk to your ex'es before doing
something like this, Did you guys try and have like
a conversation with any of them to get some advice
on you know, what you should a relationship, or to
let them know that you're doing this show with their
conversations with exes.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
That you guys felt that was appropriate to have.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
I've been seeing for five years now, but it's just
still out of respect. So I just so you know,
I'm going to be taking because especially since it's been
a long time, like just so you know, I'm going
to make a move now to really try and move
on and lock in, you know someone, specially in my life.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
I don't want you to be caught out.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
I wanted to be gossiped about and you hear from
someone else, i'body you hear it from me.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
It's been about a month through everybody girlfriends and they.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Only got five second phone calls.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
He was just literally sitting there, I'm going on the Bachelor,
and going on the Bachelor.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
I'm going on a Bachelor.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Group text man.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
To be honest, I actually didn't, you know, I didn't
reach out to any of my axes, you know that
sort of there all things their relationships I'd put to bed,
and I didn't really feel you know, I was on
very good terms with all of them, and I didn't
really feel it was really that needed of me to
reach out to sure them that, you know, I was
very respectful of them all during the whole process.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
But yeah, I didn't know that didn't reach out.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
To to be really disappointed when they see that AX
chopping scene. I think that's where they realized, what is
the X chopping scene?
Speaker 3 (20:45):
To watch?
Speaker 2 (20:47):
You have to wait to watch.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Honestly, anyway, how many times how many times of this podcast?
I feel like we can't move past this? So you've
been single for five years? What have you been in
Antarctica where there's no ladies?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
What's going on? How have you been single for five years?
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (21:07):
Quite deep when it comes to falling for someone, and
I struggled really to I think I've struggled to really
open up for.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
A while as well. I got my heart broken, so
I've been quite closed off. So it's really it was
hard hard for me to kind of open up.
Speaker 5 (21:21):
I have my heart broken a few years ago, so
it took it's taken a while for me to kind
of learn how to break down walls again and be
opened or be ready to be in another relationship.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Didn't if you reach out to other people that have
been on shows like this for advice to reach out
to previous bachelors, because I think what I'd find interesting
is doing a show like this, you'd have to still
trust your instincts and not the producers, you know what
I mean? Like the producers, I guess you could have
conversations with how things are going, and they could influence
things like what sort of advice did you get from
anyone before coming in and doing the show, especially when
(21:56):
it comes to stuff like should you trust your instincts
or should you trust the.
Speaker 8 (22:00):
Yeah, no, I didn't get in any vice beforehand, mossibly
because I haven't watched it, but Jad from last season
due to reach out afterwards and very kind of him
just offered every support and whatever he can do, because
only when you go through something like this you understand.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
So yeah, very very kind of him.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
He's a good guy. I met him in a function.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
He was actually really lovely, very generous person, So he's
a good one to touch. Before you, guys go, I
want to ask you something which I ask everyone who
joins the podcast, and that is what is something from
behind the scenes, something that we probably won't see on TV,
kind of like a behind the scenes secret of what
it's like to be a bachelor on The Bachelor's.
Speaker 7 (22:39):
Wow there is I would see, well I heard, and
I could say that we try to save everything for
the camera so that the viewers can see everything for real,
what's happening in real time, So we're not behind the scenes.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
We can't we can't like practice anything, we can't like
script anything. It's like what you're see is very much
what you get when the when the cameras are rolling,
So we can't.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Talk to each other. That's why we get together. We're like, oh,
that's why they're look, it's a good conversation.
Speaker 10 (23:07):
Probably the only thing from behind the scenes, like I'd say,
you probably missed a bit of like there was times
where we usually boys a been yeah, and you just
sort of like had like small talk and we sort
of found some really funny moments to enjoy each other's
company that none of that would sort of be on camera.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
But yeah, that was you know, that was sort of
like little mind away. That was really enjoyable film.
Speaker 8 (23:27):
One of the best parts for me from behind behind
the scenes were actually the crew that we got to
work with.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Everybody from APU styling.
Speaker 8 (23:35):
Camera sound like we're incredible people that actually want to
be friends with forever.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
So yeah, that was something that people never get to see.
Speaker 8 (23:42):
But everyone that would behind the scenes were incredible.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Or human means, do you use them as sounding boards
as well? Like do you try and talk to them
about what's happening with the girls, and do you the
makeup artists, like you know Karen over there, Actually Karen's
a bad one to choose.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
That not they're not allowed so they're not allowed to
but they agree.
Speaker 5 (23:59):
And just.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Really I'd be asking them. I'd be like, look, I've
been on this date. I don't know where Karen keeps
coming out, but Karen or Tracy, these these women sound terrible.
Sorry Karen's and Tracy, But I'd be like wanting to
fish for advice, like you were able to use your
phone and call your friends, like you.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Know, talk about it.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
It's locked away with a contract, guys. I just want
to say good luck with this ride. I will probably
not get a chance to speak to you while it
continues to and when it starts to air, but I
just want you to know get ready because I feel
like this is a real reboot of this franchise, and
I think people are going to be talking about you,
especially with that acts for a long time, which actually
(24:39):
talking about Ben. I'm going to have to take a
screen grab of this photo with this partner and send
it to you offline.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
No, I'm only kidding, but.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Guys, thank you, thank you for being so generous with
your time and and good luck with the experience.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Great speak
It's in the news today, but it was actually on
TV Reload, the podcast last week that might welcome back
Guys to TV Reload. As you may know, my name
is Benjamin Norris and this is your podcast to get
all the inside goss on the popular TV shows that
you may be.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Watching from around the world.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Undeniably, our TV sets are a major part of our
home entertainment, and yet very little is known about how
our favorite shows get made. So each episode, I've been
finding the guests that want to dive just that little
bit deeper into the shows that they're currently making so
that you can hear all their exclusive stories and gain
access to the biggest names in Australian television. I want
(00:35):
to thank you for downloading or subscribing to this podcast
however you've found me.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I love hearing your feedback.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
So make sure you leave a review or a comment
on your chosen podcast platform. On today's podcast, I have Luke,
Wesley and Ben who are Network ten's latest bachelors. All
three had their hard launch last night on Network ten
and Guys. While a lot of viewers had lost their
love of this franchise, I'm here to tell you that
this season is better than any other season I've seen
(01:01):
of this show before. Our bachelor's all joined Beyond the
podcast last Friday, and while there was a couple of
issues with the record, I'm sure you will enjoy meeting
all of these boys unfiltered and ready to unpack their
time on the show. Luke the Lumberjack is a proud
self proclaimed softy. He wears his heartily sleeve and often
wells up at the slightest sentimental moment. Not the usual
(01:24):
ex football player. If I can say that, while Bachelor
Ben has traveled the world as a successful model in
the past, it is his work now as a sustainable
entrepreneur that has his feet firmly on the ground. I
personally am mildly obsessed with Ben, and no doubt he's
going to have a lot of fans after being on
this show.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Finally, we have Wez, who has a dig.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Commitment to finding true love and upholding the values that
he was raised with throughout his dating life. Wes has
moved from Brazil to Australia and he is trying to
move beyond that initial phase of trying to establish a
lasting connection with someone who shares his vision of being
the one boiler alerte Wesley has never had a girlfriend,
which is really bizarre if you ask me, but you
(02:05):
can hear that in his storytelling today with his lack
of confidence. We will talk about their reservations signing up
for The Bachelors, if they called their exes, and if
their competitive nature got in the way of their dating.
Whilst on screen, I'll ask about Osha Ginsburg and what
he has liked to work with, does he offer help,
does he give advice, and why he makes a good
(02:26):
television host. We will find out more about the boys
as I asked them all, who would most likely go
on OnlyFans sign up for another reality show, and who
would be most likely to marry a stranger. Plus, we
will get plenty of exclusives from behind the scenes at
The Bachelor's which, as I mentioned, has started on Network
ten and you can catch up on tenplay if you've
(02:47):
fallen just that little bit behind. Anyway, guys, let's bring
the boys into the podcast. And while I hope you
enjoy getting to know all three bachelors, I do have
to say right at the start there was a bit
of a technical issue, which means you're kind of joining
the chat. As look, Luke is talking about his rationale
of signing up to this series post his football career.
Sorry guys, the recording just stopped for a second, but
(03:08):
I'll just keep going.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Sorry, So what made you want to turn you back
on the footy?
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Oh well, I had needam while I was playing the
NRL and that sort of end of my career, and
then went home, and you know, I was sort of
probably struggling personally in that time.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
In who I wasn't what I want from life.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
I just went back working with my old boy in
the family business and sort of I suppose grounding yourself
a bit to a point where I wanted to bring
something stress in my life. I want a family. I
want to be married and have kids and everything in
the future. So just seeing like that, that time was
upon me and I suppose the footy days and the
young sort of party and lifestyle was yeah, well and
(03:46):
truly behind me, and yeah, I want it more from
life than that.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Yeah, well, I can tell you right away that in
the first episode is a good shot of you chopping
down a tree. And if you don't find any chicks,
you know, with this show, I think that you could
definitely put that on your gram and I think you'll
be fine. Yeah, I paused it, so, yeah, I'm in trouble.
(04:09):
I'll put it in slow mo and I won't be
the first and I won't be the last doing that.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
You know, did the.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Producers find the right women for you? Because I think
the women all look quite expensive this year. I mean
some of them still have fillers, but they all still
feel more real than some of the women we've seen
on TV before. You know, having those chats with the
producers about who you were interested in, did they get
it right?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Absolutely?
Speaker 5 (04:30):
All the women there were beautiful. It's obviously it's obviously
very hard when you know you have a limited number
of women and time as well.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
But I think you know everyone was there for the
right reason.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
They were really genuine girls, a really beautiful or bought
something different to the table as well, so you know
something there for everyone was absolutely Yeah, So I think that,
you know, without without obviously knowing the future, I think
they did the best job that was was possible for sure.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Do you know what I love about these shows as well?
Speaker 1 (04:57):
I don't know if the girls were dehydrated and that's
why it looked like this, But Wesley, when you came out,
all the girls start licking their lips.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
They literally look like wolves. Maybe they'd made them dehydrated
to make them do that.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Like you start coming down the stairs and all of
them are that.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Who's this average guy here? That's what they've been Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Not at all. I was like, this Brazilian guy is
off tap. But I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Maybe maybe they gave the girl some money, don't wait
before they came on South. What you know when you
were approached to do this show, Ben, you know, was
there any hesitation about doing something like this?
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Did you have any questions when they started talking to
you about it?
Speaker 6 (05:34):
Obviously there are some some risks involved that you think
about a little bit, But you know, I was just
I was a really disappoint in my life where I'm
really ready to meet someone and really go all in.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
So overall it felt like the right time and right
place for me to pull the trigger. And yeah, and
it's one of the best experiences I've ever had.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
So I'm over the moon.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Look, do you know if it doesn't work out, if
you a romance and the other two like, what's the
connection been?
Speaker 5 (06:03):
Like? Yeah, absolutely, I was like in the middle getting
out everyone.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
What is the romance like between the three of you, Like,
what kind of camaraderie have you guys managed to muster up?
Speaker 5 (06:17):
As it was saying, Yeah, my kids asking us if
we found love, and like the answer is yes, and
that's with each other.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
So what's really funny was that I was driving down
Chapel Street in Melbourne about three months after the last
Bachelor's and I saw two of the bachelors sitting there
having a drink together.
Speaker 7 (06:33):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Yeah, they were still hanging out, and I was like,
there was no women there, and I was like, it
looked like they're on a date.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
So probably probably contracted. They probably still couldn't say anyone
of them.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
I'm hoping it's more of a siblings type relationship between
the three. Yeah, Wesley, what about the competitiveness between the
three of you? Did you start to worry about you
what happens if I don't? What if they find love?
Speaker 5 (06:57):
You know?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Was there any competitiveness between the three of you?
Speaker 8 (07:01):
Yeah, I guess you would have seen in the first episode.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
It was there was no.
Speaker 8 (07:08):
One owned anything, no one owned anybody, so it was
like fair game for all of us.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Yeah, there was.
Speaker 8 (07:13):
That was definitely competitiveness. But it was also like a
it wasn't genuinely if that's a word competitive. Sorry, I'm
still learning English. But yes, like I'm a big believer
in what's meant to be is meant to be. So
if someone is learning to you and somebody else is
meant to be you know.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
So did I answer your question? No?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
No, no. Look, when you don't know English that well
and you look as good as you, it's just all
very sexy.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
It's all very Brazilian, So you.
Speaker 8 (07:39):
Know, gonna be honest with you, I generally don't find
myself attractive, so when you see that stuff, I find
so funny.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Okay, well we're going to need to have that. We're
going to take that conversation off the podcast, but you
need you need a talking to my friend. Look what
about Asher though was here? Are you able to form
a relationship with him as the host? Like do you
get to spend some time with him? Is he helpful
throughout the process?
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (08:06):
Absolutely, Like obviously that when we first came in and
like they're off the bat, sort of helping us in
and having a conversation with us and settling us into
everything and make.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Us feel comfortable because I know and I'm sure the
other boys are too.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
Like I was, yeah, you know, nervous as yell in there,
so I just was areos to come in? Had laugh,
help to sue and yeah, it was there sort of,
you know, for the difficult parts of the journey when
you have to and goes home and everything.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Yeah, I mean he's done this for however many years
he's done.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Yeah, the fresh though guys, like you know, he still
looks like it's his first season every time, like it's
a good quality for him to have that every time
he turns up, he treats it like it's the first time,
you know.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
And he's very good at asking asking the right questions
to kind of to help us, help us really open
up and let the audience know kind of who we
are and what we're thinking.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
No one can see the obvious as good as him.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
He's been writing the show, Wesley, that's his job. That's
what he's pay.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Rok walks into a room, is the first person to say,
that's a frock, you know, and that's what's good about it. Ben,
did you get worried about if things got too steamy
what your family would think of this? Like, were you
worried that maybe this is not good content for your
mom or you know.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Yeah, mom, yeah, yeah, there'll be there'll be a couple
of scenes. I'll make sure mom's busy on those nights.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
Those episodes I've got to bear marked and like, Mum,
I think.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Yeah, I'll skip this one.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they've pulled that one. They're playing sport
tonight instead.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
I swear that wasn't me, Mom. They must be editor,
you know hows like.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I don't know. That's the thing that I'd always be
really worried about.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I'd be like, I don't know if I could go
on a dating show because I would just be the
whole time thinking about my mom.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
But I guess you really shouldn't do that. It's not sexy.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
Moms want us to be happy, so things like when
they when at the end, like when they see how
happy and how much we've grown, it's yeah, that's that's
the that's the real real win.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
At the end of the day, we're going to see
some drama with the fact that you've got all these
ladies together, and are they get across the streams? Are
they going to start with one and then maybe look
at the other, like there is that going to be
what's going to go down this year, because like when
you put all those ladies together and three handsome men,
I mean in the first episode, some of them don't
know where to look.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Yeah, that's that's the beauty of there being three bachelors,
is that the we're going to get a chance to
choose as well. So it's not just us, but so
you know, we did we need to put our best
book forward just as much as what they're trying to
do as well.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
I love this format.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
It's like the Neapolitan ice cream is the way that
I like to refer to.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Oh yeah, oh gotcha.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
If you don't like vanilla, that's okay, because we've got
chocolate and.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
You know what, definitely chocolate.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Okay, well, Wesley, if you could be chocolate. But that
makes it sound like we're not being very politically correct.
But anyway, if your chocolate, what Wesley, If your chocolate,
what are the other two?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Oh that's that's the hard question. Hey, Well, because Vanila
has vanilla has.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
The kind of an additional like boring, Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
If my English is correct, that's.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Okay, Wesley. They won't mind just tell them.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Which I think they like cookies and cream.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
You know, he doesn't want to answer this.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
He's now onto, he's onto a different flavor altogether.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
We're all going to a bit of a special.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Yeah, we have to. I'm aborting that.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
I'm aborting all ice cream chat now the special Solaus
has been mentioned. Ye, what's the hardest thing about dating?
How many girls are there? There's like thirty, I.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Mean, how many people?
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Twenty four?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
What's the hardest thing about dating twenty four women?
Speaker 5 (12:00):
The hardest part was giving everyone like a good amount
of time to really you're very much like trying to
get to know who they are very quickly and kind
of straight in, straight into it, and if there's no
sparks straight away, it can be quite tricky, which can
also be unfair because then it might not hit it
off straight at the start, but then later on and
then you notice something like down the line and that,
oh I.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Didn't see that. No one but everyone's dealing with nerves.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
But you're trying to speak to twenty four different ladies,
and it's like it's really difficult.
Speaker 8 (12:27):
Yeah, no else in the freaking world I would do that,
you know, Like I'll say that the boundaries off.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
We all here for a reason. We've all signed up
for this, So do I see something Betty normally date's
like only fifteen exactly.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
That's what I'm laughing at. Wesley.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
I'm like, yeah, I mean, you could have your own
spin off show back in Brazil and you'd be dating
thirty women, right.
Speaker 8 (12:49):
I appreciate there is no Batchelor in Brazil, but if
you know someone in Brazil.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Okay, well I'll call the producers.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
I'll just have a few friends to recommen No. But
I think the hard thing.
Speaker 8 (13:01):
Was to kind of like get in this headspace of Okay,
I'm going to be when I'm with someone, I'm fully here,
I'm fully present, and I'm not.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Thinking on anybody else.
Speaker 8 (13:09):
And if I kiss someone, that doesn't necessarily mean that
I'm cheating on somebody else, because well, we've all signed
up for this, you know.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
So that was a very freaking mindset again, just walking.
Speaker 9 (13:21):
That line of respect like you obviously every single person,
I want to be very respectful of everybody, but you
also you also want to invest and connect with people.
So I was, yeah, I think it's a difficult one
to walk, but yeah, I'm actually really confident.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
That you know, we did it really well? Yeah, so too?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Is this a spoiler to ask this question? But which
out of the three how does it end? Okay? Great?
I know kisses.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
The most amount of girls out of the three of you.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
I think I don't kiss and tell, so you have to?
Speaker 2 (13:59):
That just reads like you lost count. That's all that
reads like.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Remember, Mum's going to be watching this. I had to
keep it somewhre pg.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Okay, Well, I want to ask you just a few
quick questions which I think will help people get to
know you guys a little bit better. First, one bit racy,
which one of the three of you is the most
likely to do only fans?
Speaker 3 (14:23):
That's gonna be all where don't you see me twoking?
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Okay, great, all right, I'm looking forward to that. And
also put in slow move which one of you is
more likely to marry a stranger?
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Stranger? What do you mean?
Speaker 5 (14:38):
Like?
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Does that mean like really quick?
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Like just yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Which one of you is the most likely to you know,
put it all on the line fast?
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
If there was some alcohol involved, absolutely these two are
pretty close married.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Notting to work that out. It feels like we're falls
a crowd, right, now Benning. But maybe fans are out
which one of you would be the most likely to
go on another reality show after doing this?
Speaker 5 (15:06):
Yeah, that's just.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Dancing with the stuff. Yeah, I could show some some.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Wesley. You could be the new Ricky Martin. Maybe in
sing too?
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Actually is a triple threat.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Okay, well it's definitely him. He's definitely going on another
reality show. Let me tell you if you can sing,
he could, and the rest of you can go into
the jungle or whatever it is that's left after that.
Who's most likely to be the last man standing on
a night out?
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Yeah, trying. I'm never going home.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
A good one to ask you as well? Maybe I'll
get all three of you to do This is what
gives you, guys? The I like Luke, I will start
with you when it comes to meeting a girl.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
What gives you out?
Speaker 5 (16:01):
I don't know whether you even call it an ick,
but I just like I can't stand when like someone
has like they won't eat a lot of foods that
they're like, oh, I only eat this, I only eat that,
like because I'm like, I love you, I love you
heaps different foods. So like a girl's like got a
very specific by to requirement. That's sort of like a yeah, bit.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Of a no from me, Yeah, Ben, what gives you
the ick?
Speaker 3 (16:25):
A lot of likes like and I'm live all the time.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
That kind of winds up a bit. But I think,
like like just bad manners. I like, you know, if
we're out, then no phone. I like someone to be present.
If I'm there and I'm giving you everything, I'd like
to get.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
That in return.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
I feel like we're all going to now be really
conscious of saying the word like.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
I think you just used that in the sentence as
you said it was your ick.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Like when someone's like.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
It's when you say that to people though, you know,
like back in the day when they used to audition
people to do reality shows, they do these casting calls,
and that was the thing was that producers wouldn't cast
people if they use the word like too many times,
like that would be like a veto so, but then
you'd say to them trying not to say like, and
then it populates the conversation.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Anyway. It's a very long, boring story. I'm so glad
I told it, Wesley.
Speaker 7 (17:16):
For you.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
What gives you the ear?
Speaker 8 (17:17):
I think when a girl complains a lot you know,
like I'm like, life is too good to be true.
So someone is just like always complaining. By the way,
there's raining. You're like, oh yeah, that definitely gives me
the because yeah, I think life is too good.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I mean, you have no complaints, right, zero.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Zero.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Well, this show was filmed.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Like a little while ago, and I was going to
ask you, like, how do you keep the outcomes of
this a secret? Like I mean of these girls wearing
like mustaches and Fedora hats and meeting you in you know,
the back of parking lots, Like if you've all found
love and we don't know if you do, you know,
how do you keep this a secret?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
What are you doing? Do you just not see the
girl for a while.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
I'm really going to keep the secrets.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
It's just that people I tell who can't keep.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Like organized a night in a hotel, like you know,
if you found love and you've then got to wait
like however long until you can go, and.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
This is all it's all very confidential behind the scenes stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Yeah, yeah, okay, I feel like that's I feel like
that's not a proper answer. But anyway, you know, if
all of you're on like the verge of becoming kind
of insta famous from being on a show like this.
Are you worried about losing your anonymity? Like, is there
anything now that people know who you are? Does that
make you get concerned about the way in which you
(18:43):
normally would live your life? Does it make you change
the way in which you go out at night?
Speaker 5 (18:46):
I mean, I think I think there's going to be
pros and cons to everything from you, which is I
think is definitely something that we weigh up before before
coming on to show up the Bachelor's But I think
at the end of the day, like our friends and
family and closest to us definitely know so who we are,
and that's the combetti opinions that we're going to really
hold on to, and that will be important, you know,
(19:08):
coming up when we're dealing with whatever we're going to
deal with coming up.
Speaker 10 (19:12):
You know, the only thing that I really wanted this
show to change was my relationships that so I don't
think yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Effected so much to it.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
I always wonder whether you guys were going on a
show like this, would talk to your ex'es before doing
something like this, Did you guys try and have like
a conversation with any of them to get some advice
on you know, what you should a relationship, or to
let them know that you're doing this show with their
conversations with exes.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
That you guys felt that was appropriate to have.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
I've been seeing for five years now, but it's just
still out of respect. So I just so you know,
I'm going to be taking because especially since it's been
a long time, like just so you know, I'm going
to make a move now to really try and move
on and lock in, you know someone, specially in my life.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
I don't want you to be caught out.
Speaker 5 (19:55):
I wanted to be gossiped about and you hear from
someone else, i'body you hear it from me.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
It's been about a month through everybody girlfriends and they.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Only got five second phone calls.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
He was just literally sitting there, I'm going on the Bachelor,
and going on the Bachelor.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
I'm going on a Bachelor.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Group text man.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
To be honest, I actually didn't, you know, I didn't
reach out to any of my axes, you know that
sort of there all things their relationships I'd put to bed,
and I didn't really feel you know, I was on
very good terms with all of them, and I didn't
really feel it was really that needed of me to
reach out to sure them that, you know, I was
very respectful of them all during the whole process.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
But yeah, I didn't know that didn't reach out.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
To to be really disappointed when they see that AX
chopping scene. I think that's where they realized, what is
the X chopping scene?
Speaker 3 (20:45):
To watch?
Speaker 2 (20:47):
You have to wait to watch.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Honestly, anyway, how many times how many times of this podcast?
I feel like we can't move past this? So you've
been single for five years? What have you been in
Antarctica where there's no ladies?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
What's going on? How have you been single for five years?
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (21:07):
Quite deep when it comes to falling for someone, and
I struggled really to I think I've struggled to really
open up for.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
A while as well. I got my heart broken, so
I've been quite closed off. So it's really it was
hard hard for me to kind of open up.
Speaker 5 (21:21):
I have my heart broken a few years ago, so
it took it's taken a while for me to kind
of learn how to break down walls again and be
opened or be ready to be in another relationship.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Didn't if you reach out to other people that have
been on shows like this for advice to reach out
to previous bachelors, because I think what I'd find interesting
is doing a show like this, you'd have to still
trust your instincts and not the producers, you know what
I mean? Like the producers, I guess you could have
conversations with how things are going, and they could influence
things like what sort of advice did you get from
anyone before coming in and doing the show, especially when
(21:56):
it comes to stuff like should you trust your instincts
or should you trust the.
Speaker 8 (22:00):
Yeah, no, I didn't get in any vice beforehand, mossibly
because I haven't watched it, but Jad from last season
due to reach out afterwards and very kind of him
just offered every support and whatever he can do, because
only when you go through something like this you understand.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
So yeah, very very kind of him.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
He's a good guy. I met him in a function.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
He was actually really lovely, very generous person, So he's
a good one to touch. Before you, guys go, I
want to ask you something which I ask everyone who
joins the podcast, and that is what is something from
behind the scenes, something that we probably won't see on TV,
kind of like a behind the scenes secret of what
it's like to be a bachelor on The Bachelor's.
Speaker 7 (22:39):
Wow there is I would see, well I heard, and
I could say that we try to save everything for
the camera so that the viewers can see everything for real,
what's happening in real time, So we're not behind the scenes.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
We can't we can't like practice anything, we can't like
script anything. It's like what you're see is very much
what you get when the when the cameras are rolling,
So we can't.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Talk to each other. That's why we get together. We're like, oh,
that's why they're look, it's a good conversation.
Speaker 10 (23:07):
Probably the only thing from behind the scenes, like I'd say,
you probably missed a bit of like there was times
where we usually boys a been yeah, and you just
sort of like had like small talk and we sort
of found some really funny moments to enjoy each other's
company that none of that would sort of be on camera.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
But yeah, that was you know, that was sort of
like little mind away. That was really enjoyable film.
Speaker 8 (23:27):
One of the best parts for me from behind behind
the scenes were actually the crew that we got to
work with.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Everybody from APU styling.
Speaker 8 (23:35):
Camera sound like we're incredible people that actually want to
be friends with forever.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
So yeah, that was something that people never get to see.
Speaker 8 (23:42):
But everyone that would behind the scenes were incredible.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Or human means, do you use them as sounding boards
as well? Like do you try and talk to them
about what's happening with the girls, and do you the
makeup artists, like you know Karen over there, Actually Karen's
a bad one to choose.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
That not they're not allowed so they're not allowed to
but they agree.
Speaker 5 (23:59):
And just.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Really I'd be asking them. I'd be like, look, I've
been on this date. I don't know where Karen keeps
coming out, but Karen or Tracy, these these women sound terrible.
Sorry Karen's and Tracy, But I'd be like wanting to
fish for advice, like you were able to use your
phone and call your friends, like you.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Know, talk about it.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
It's locked away with a contract, guys. I just want
to say good luck with this ride. I will probably
not get a chance to speak to you while it
continues to and when it starts to air, but I
just want you to know get ready because I feel
like this is a real reboot of this franchise, and
I think people are going to be talking about you,
especially with that acts for a long time, which actually
(24:39):
talking about Ben. I'm going to have to take a
screen grab of this photo with this partner and send
it to you offline.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
No, I'm only kidding, but.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Guys, thank you, thank you for being so generous with
your time and and good luck with the experience.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Great speak
