0:00 Welcome back to the nullify take Channel where we've got the TNT takes for you on the challenge Australia I'm joined here by someone who was a big cyclone in the house some call it Cyclone Sorel how you doing hi how are you it's so great to finally meet you after seeing you on our screens what was it like being on this crazy show called The Challenge that you know what you was what you were getting yourself into but it was Heavy Duty right it was extreme and I really didn't know I wasn't prepared for that not just what it challenges itself but for the manipulative snakes that I had with me yeah fair enough I mean one of the big questions I think I have to ask and I'm sure all the fans would like to know you know you obviously went in there with Grant who's a friend of your hubby is he still welcome at the house I don't think we'll be having him for dinner anytime soon no like I know my partner's ticked off he's like he's like okay well actually he didn't say he can't he can't he did kind of pre-warn me like after Grant had promised that he was like do you know what I bet you any money he's still doggy you guys don't forget I was with him on love Island and that's exactly what he did to me and he was right should have listened to him yeah

1:20 So you obviously went in there you knew Grant and you also had some other people that you gravitated towards which were the likes of Emily Jack David you know how did that friendship sort of develop with those people that you knew before the game were you surprised to see them then that you were sort of gravitating towards them well so David and Emily I thought that was just kind of like life and Jack and I we actually have like a mutual friend together and I know we weren't supposed to say but we kind of said oh we're gonna be in the challenge you know and then I saw him at the airport and I kind of latched on to him you know because it's like at least one friend you'd have you know and I met David and Emily through him yeah and I mean obviously you and Jack you end up working together early on and also being targeted early on what does it feel like to go on to a show such as this where you know you need to try and stay in the game and as soon as you sort of are Target potentially that Target's going to continue to come back to you what did it feel like knowing that you were singled out so early on dude I was pissed off I was so angry and it's just like it just shocked me because you would have you would have them be so fake and friendly to your face and then next second within you know 20 minutes of running up in there they said they screwed me over so after

2:40 That I was yeah I was out for Revenge I was out for blood now you came from a completely different show I've never watched Married at First Sight believe it or not I know it's a massive show in Australia I've never watched it personally was there anything that you could transfer from that show into the challenge that could sort of transfer into this game or was it really learning from scratch how to play this new crazy game well I would say a lot of the females on my show Married at First Sight were manipulative conniving and lawyers so I probably should have brought that along on the challenge and if you'd watch the show you'd agree with me they really were the third after that now obviously you've had The Full Experience because you won dailies you won a daily and you've been in the eliminations twice so you really have that full experience of having done a little bit of everything can you talk to us a little bit about what the difference is and how you feel when you go into these daily challenges versus eliminations what does it feel like to be a competitor and actually participating in it well I found like because they don't like trust me they do not tell you what your you know what you're gonna do for the challenge and at times it even would be on the bus and they'll even close the curtains just so we couldn't see so I think a lot of it was dreading what you'd have to do and then being on elimination

4:01 You kind of like and I've been up for that it's the worst feeling you just like because you just want to stay you know you just want to win and it's just like again you don't know what briny's gonna throw out at you and what challenge whether it's going to be a challenge or a puzzle yeah and I'm not a person that takes world to surprises so yes obviously having that control not there and how much time did you have to prepare for the show like how far and advanced did you know that you were going to go on to the challenge and did you do anything in preparation to go onto the show I would honestly say our series I felt terrible when everyone was saying yeah I watched so many shows I drank this much I was like oh I want you to do their homework yeah so I we all probably got to know around about one month so you probably get a month into it but you know I was competing against boxers Olympians you know Instagram models that would just train constantly so that one month wasn't going to help me out yeah like I mean what was it like going up against these you know some of them professional athletes who were you most intimidated by if you were intimidated by anybody sort of going into

5:21 An elimination potentially against them or you try to stay on the good side in the game Emily is a gun she is like a weapon Emily and sugar you know but I found like when I would watch them I found like I don't know for me this I just thought yeah Emily was just something else hey the way she trained her motivation I was I just like as soon as I saw it I go yeah great I've got a great chance and what can I do I was a mess for God's sakes all I did was chat well sometimes you could shut yourself out of trouble or you can check yourself into trouble it just depends on what you wanted to use that's super powerful right all right could share myself into drama which is basically what happened hey I don't complain and made for great TV and really entertaining to watch but you know while you were out there competing with these different players we saw you obviously gravitate like I said to some of those players that we've already seen on the screen like Emily Jack and David who else did you also have a really good relationship that maybe just didn't make it to the screen were there other people that you also really enjoyed spending time with oh Audrey was a bit love there Audrey and Susan too but a lot of them I've had to be honest I think all hated me so you mentioned Audrey and you and Audrey

6:41 Had a massive blow up on night one so did you guys make up after that and become friends no they didn't show it so yeah I found that I was actually in the wrong but you know as crazy as I go I'm not one person that you know like I can't apologize when I need to so I always end the wrong and I said sorry to her and we literally made up that night oh that's great and how did you sort of feel about the way that the show was structured with the algorithm giving you random pairs every single round what was the feeling in the house about this algorithm look I think it was just depending on who you got like I think if people was got me they would have been devastated I don't know why I'm so nice but if they got like you know say for example Emily or sugar within the voice if they got you know the Ninja Warrior try you know they'd be cheering because you know like a lot of people think it's always strength but I will say you know when it comes to puzzles I think Connor was the smart one as much as I think is a weasel I will give him that yeah and can you explain a little bit why this perception is out there that everybody dislikes Connor so much because it feels like every episode he just gets bagged on and the show is not really showing clearly why they're doing that yeah no because yeah unfortunately it's not shown too

8:02 Much but like there was like cut off arguments you know and like there was even a time where he pissed me off because he basically threw me under the bus you know and he's manipulative conniving like it is and to be cheeky about it too like as David was saying you know I got we sold himself out of eliminations like people knew it you know but somehow the God was getting out of it so yeah that's the thing that you're not seeing he gets worse he gets worse from what I've heard oh well looking forward to seeing what that's like so obviously yourself and Conor ended up being the winning pair when you did the daily together so even though you maybe didn't agree with him on a lot of things it seemed like your partnership worked really well why do you feel like you work so well with Conor and why were you able to pull off that win it's because like I said it really depends on the challenge they're gonna give you so I may have not been like you know you know muscles or strengthwise or anything but I think Connor and I we were more brained so that time like let's be honest a lot of those people didn't even know how to do Plain Mass you know that gave us the upper hand so yeah fair enough who didn't you get partnered with that you would have loved to have

9:22 Been partnered with in the game because you thought they would just be brilliant to work with regret online [Laughter] let me think oh to be honest night like I feel like I've had beef with all those boys I know the ones I've got parted up with I'm happy with that all right so you feel like you left at the right time before you had to fake it with another partner that you didn't want to work with dragging me and Grant on a challenge together who would have been pushing each other off the cliff yeah I don't know why the algorithm didn't work on the fan side and give you guys a pairing because that would have been entertaining TV to watch I think they knew we just hated each other too much we probably would have said we forfeit we're going up for elimination now since you've been on the show have you gone and watched any other challenge Seasons have you become a fan of the show as a whole and would you consider going back and doing this again if the opportunity came back and the challenge Australia season 2 came around okay I would definitely go back if this time they give me like four months notice so I can train it up a bit more definitely I think I really do need to focus on Wednesday but yeah my Platinum I watched a bit of the US version and I have to say like their drama

10:42 I love it I'll live with the drama it follows me around everywhere I am drama but you know it makes life so much more exciting what about your partner do you think he would ever want to do something like this as well would he be interested in something like the challenge well they were originally asking my partner so because he was on love Island yeah so and then they went with the Cyclone so there you go so he was if there's a season two hopefully he's the one they pick yeah fair enough yeah and well by the sounds of it he probably would do pretty well as well it would be interesting to see him and Grant in the same season after he dogged you on this last season they'll both just get eliminated for punching on now you said yesterday that you were you know you're a mouthful of Gossip yeah so I was wondering if you could dish some gossip to us here by answering a few questions who was the biggest flirt in the house biggest flirt would be oh God I think Conrad because he didn't just flirt with me then I don't know if they'll air it but he also flirted with Emily yeah interesting for you yeah okay interesting and who was the person in the house who didn't clean up after themselves who was the messiest to live with okay this would be the boys upstairs

12:03 Like so I would walk past and even producers would actually be like when they'd go can you please clean your room because it was so messy but apparently it was Johnny Ryan and Grant but that just tells you I mean Grandma's in there pigstyles poor Jessica who had to live with them right I don't know she probably got used to that all right who was the biggest snake I think I know already but who was the biggest snake in the house that you would never trust there's a fear they have time I'd say Billy did but he got out early Connor Grant and who else I wouldn't trust down Turin either interesting all right and were you aware that big bro that Bachelor Alliance was sort of forming there and that they were working against the house and why did you not take a shot at them directly when you went for Grant and Kiki instead well I think that is kind of taking a shot because keiki was from I think to be honest my Vengeance was more towards Grant so I played that way and if you had an opportunity to win power again like where would the next shot have gone would you have taken it straight back at him again or would you have gone somewhere else I would have definitely gone for Connor

13:23 Yeah I've already had my stuff with Grant it's not interesting let's do someone new fair enough hrl it's been so great talking to you let people know that are listening to the podcast where can they find you what are you up to next where can they follow you so you can follow me on my Instagram but yeah it's on Instagram guys it's the only Tyrell and yeah just stay tuned here nice I never say never to anything so you never know my TV again shortly yeah well I'll make sure to add links in the description below on the video as well and everywhere I post this so it's been great talking to you all the best of luck with the rest of the interviews for the day and hopefully we see you back on our TV screen soon thank you so much thank you for having me
