  Speaker 1: he can't see you.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: Why not? I have.
• 0:22
  Speaker 4: Because I was told it was just audio and I'm
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: laying in my bed.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, how good.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: I reckon you're a good looking man and people would
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: like to see it.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Just turn that camera on for a moment.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: I should turn. The camera is on. I just don't
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: have a lot of light in this room. It's blackout.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's a blackout. Oh, you're actually. I can't see
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: you at all.
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: You can't see my teeth. You can kind of see
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: my teeth.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: No, we've just got a big black screen here. Where
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: are you? In a hotel?
• 0:49
  Speaker 5: He must be in a proper hotel with like really
• 0:52
  Speaker 5: dense blackout curtains.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: I'm in a proper hotel.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: That's the best kind.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Where? Where in the world?
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: How are you guys doing?
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: We're good. I'm in Melbourne.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: You're in Melbourne.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: I remember staying in the Hilton in Sydney once and
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: they had proper blackout.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: And the girlfriend and I that I was with at
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: the time, we... put the blinds down, I woke up
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: at like 11.30.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, what?
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: And felt like you feel awful because of the blackout.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: It's a nice day here in Sydney, probably awful in Melbourne.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Oh, I love it.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: I love it. I think it's the best thing ever.
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: I just flew in from the States, so I'm trying
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: not to get– I'm only here for a couple of days,
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: so I'm trying not to get too off time zone.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Oh, so you're trying to stay on the LA time zone.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: I am. I am.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: So what time would it be in LA now? It
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: would be evening, wouldn't it?
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Well, actually, it's almost time for night-night, I think. So
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: maybe I'll just have another nap after this.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Do you actually– here's the thing, right? You're in– where
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: are you from, man? Where did you grow up?
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: From Perth. I'm a Perth boy. Okay. Yeah, Perth boy.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: But you're back in Australia and you're going to what?
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Keep these blinds down and try and go to sleep
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: all day?
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Why not?
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, basically. Like vampire, vampire style. Okay. You know?
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Keep yourself on the LA routine.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: We just do the– Keep it on the LA routine.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: You think it'll work?
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Like now that you know everyone's outside playing, it's like
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: when mum used to put you to bed early and
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: it was daylight saving and the kids were still out
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: playing cricket in the street.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Do you think you'll be able to go to sleep?
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: No, definitely not.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: It's going to have to double dump some value.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: But I'm going to give it a red hot.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Good on you, man.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Hey, tell us about Australian Survivor Rivals. What is this
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: all about?
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: Oh, you guys, it's so good. We have two mirror tribes.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: So each player comes in with a rival. So we've
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: got a couple of AFL boys, NRL versus Union.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. We've got actors.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: So they've all got kind of similar traits and they
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: become each other's rival this season. So the theme kind
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: of just really ramps up the drama and the competition
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: between them because now instead of just trying to win
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: the whole comp, which is hard enough as it is,
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: you've got someone, you know, that you'd don't want to
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: lose to the whole time. So it was a really
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: interesting concept just to see the way they moved and
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: the way they played.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: And, yeah, it was amazing.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Well, we know all these people. Like, they're well-known.
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I was going to say, is it all well-known people?
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Not all. Not all.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: We did about half everyday Aussies and then we did
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: about half– half.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Australian celebs and sports stars. Olympians, we've got Olympians.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. I always watch it.
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: I always watch it and I just think you'd have
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: to be so– you can't just be really fit. You've
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: got to be like street smart and brain smart because
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: it's all about the art of manipulation as well.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't last a week in there. Mikey would last
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: even less time. 20 seconds.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: Amy, I don't know, Amy. I've seen you manoeuvre through
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: social situations.
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: You're pretty clever. I can do the people manipulating. I
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: reckon I'd be– but the fitness is in the gutter
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: at the moment.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Well, you've done both, mate. Like you've hosted and you've
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: competed across multiple seasons.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: What's easier?
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Oh, I mean, when you're a contestant, you don't
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: have to think about anything other than just the game.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: But like when you're hosting, you have to think about
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: all these other things and all the workings.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Of the game. So, I mean, they're both hard.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: I probably prefer being a host because I just love, love,
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: love the show. So getting to see all that stuff
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: that's happening behind the scenes and working with our crew,
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: I just love it.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: But I don't know, being a contestant, man, it's tough.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: It's pretty full on.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: And are you agreeing with Amy it's not just fitness?
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Like you've got to be pretty fit, right? But also
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: is it more the mental side?
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: No, it's not just fitness.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: I mean, we've got some pretty elite level athletes that
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: come in and play and crumble from the psychological pressure.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: There's all these elements to it. It's not just the
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: survival stuff, but it's like the social pressure. It's just
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: a pressure cooker. And that's why it makes such great TV.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: And it's long, man. Like we go 45 days. The
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: guys are really working hard to earn that title and
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: the money that goes with it.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Would you ever go back on, David? Hell no. As
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: a participant? Hell no. How many times have you done
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: it yourself?
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: I stay in a resort now.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: It's so much better. Where are you filming it? Where
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: do you do it?
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: We were in Malaysia this year, which was– Malaysia is beautiful.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: We were on actual islands just north of Desiru. And
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: it was beautiful but brutal.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: The humidity, right?
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: And they fully slum it.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, the humidity.
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: They all get so shredded and they all come out
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: looking so gone because you don't get a lot of
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: food or.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Anything, do you?
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: And then they're battling with monkeys. So the monkeys were
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: coming in and stealing their food. They're coming out of
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: the jungle.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: And what were you doing?
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Stealing all their stuff.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: So like it's on an island in Malaysia, but you're
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: in a resort and you just sort of come and go?
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: I'm on the mainland. So we were just basically being
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: transported for boats. We had a challenge island. We had
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: tribe islands. And so there was a lot of boat
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: travel this season, which was really, really fun because it
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: feels like you're just in it. They really are going
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: from island to island.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And it feels, it's like real smart.
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: How good though, you now get the best of both worlds.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: You still get to be part of the series. You're
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: across the game, but you get to go back to
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: a nice warm bed and a hot shower.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Oh, no, and a massage. You know, it's great.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: And a massage, yeah.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: It's so much better.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: I feel so sorry for them sometimes, you know, because
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: they show up to challenges, they're so haggard.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, I remember that. I remember those days.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but also see you later.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Well, enjoy your blockout room there in a Melbourne hotel
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: where you're still seeing nothing.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: You don't want to just give us a quick glimpse?
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: No. Can you not see anything? I'm trying to give
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: you some. I'm not even sure.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Can you say anything on your end, Chelsea, with Zoom there?
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: No, I can't, but I could see his teeth before.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Oh, could you? You can see my teeth. See how
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: white my teeth are? Oh, yeah, I can see something.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: You know what?
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: We've got the reflection of the... You've got veneers, do you?
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: No, I just have incredibly white teeth in the dark room.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, there we go. Oh, yeah, we see the teeth. David, Janae,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: thank you, mate.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Australian Survivor Rivals coming to 10 in January. Good luck
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: with adjusting your sleep and staying on LA time.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: It's a challenge, mate. Yeah, good night, we should be saying.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: Thanks, you guys. Thanks, you guys. Night-night. Appreciate you. Later.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Sleep well.
