00:09 My life hasn't changed that much on the farm.
00:12 It's been the same, get to work, do all that kind of stuff.
00:16 As soon as I venture out, it's changed a lot.
00:19 Even getting selfies with people and things like that.
00:23 I had surgery the other day.
00:26 People in the waiting room were getting, I was all gowned up ready for surgery and getting photos with me.
00:32 People were saying little cheeky things like, "Who did you pick?"
00:35 When I was sort of covered out of my aesthetic and things like that.
00:40 It's been funny, it's been good.
00:43 I've enjoyed it and it's been great.
00:45 I've been able to showcase the local area and things like that.
00:48 Yeah, no, it's been really good.
00:50 [Music plays]
01:02 Yeah, I mean, the end and the final decision was really emotional.
01:07 I think you're saying goodbye to one person, which is quite sad.
01:13 Then you're welcoming someone else into your life.
01:16 It was definitely a bittersweet, especially in a situation like that where the person you are breaking up with, I guess, has done nothing wrong.
01:28 They're really a great person.
01:30 To be honest, I could see them being a great partner for myself or for anyone.
01:34 It was a really difficult decision.
01:37 I guess at the end of the day, I've got to take truth of myself and what I was looking for and what I was after.
01:42 I finished with a smile on my face and I've still got it.

01:51 I had a good friend of mine, Andrew Guthrie.
01:55 He was on the show two seasons ago.
01:58 I never really thought I would go on a reality show.
02:04 His now wife, who he met on the show, she kept tagging me in Club World Tour life beats and kept rolling over.
02:14 Jess from last season keeps that tag.
02:19 She's like, "Would you like to do it?"
02:22 Where I was at in my time and how I felt and timings and everything, it just felt right.
02:28 I guess because I know people who have done it and had great success.
02:34 They're happily married and they're great friends of mine.
02:38 I was like, "If it can work for them, it can work for anyone."
02:42 Watching it back has been quite fun, actually.
02:46 The first few episodes of it, I was too nervous to even watch it as it came on.
02:51 I watched it on catch-up.
02:54 Since then, I've watched it with family members.
02:58 I watched an episode where I actually get completely nude in front of a painting scene.
03:06 I watched that with my grandma and my mum.
03:09 That got quite a walk.
03:12 It was all in the name of art, so that's okay.
03:16 Honestly, watching the show back, there's lots of moments I'm really proud of and that I really like.
03:22 There's moments which I felt uncomfortable about, but that's the whole experience.
03:27 There's definitely moments that have put pressure on my relationship as well.
03:33 It's all working through that.
03:36 It makes you stronger, it makes you better, so it brings us closer.
03:41 It's definitely been an experience watching it back.
03:44 I'm definitely happy I went on the experience and I did it.
03:49 With anything in life, there's ups and downs. It's a bit of a rollercoaster.
03:53 At the end of the day, I can look back on the memory fondly.
03:56 I'm really proud of what I did and how I went about it and how I conducted myself.
04:00 I'm really glad I did it.
