Video transcript

LOCKY GILBERT: This is what, I think, the boys didn't do very well.

IRENA SRBINOVSKA: What?

LOCKY GILBERT: No.

IRENA SRBINOVSKA: However.

LOCKY GILBERT: She could got to hit them with the however.

IRENA SRBINOVSKA: Oh.

LOCKY GILBERT: That's what I-- thought I'd do with it. And I was, like, blah, blah, blah, however. And then, that gives it completely too much, and it gives them the suspense.

Where all the other guys would just, like, it-- and it's like, there was no big drop. But I think they might have been just not enough.

IRENA SRBINOVSKA: No. It's-- I was hanging on to every word, and before I went into finale, my dad said to me, if Locky starts talking and he says, but or however, take a deep breath and just calm yourself down. Don't go reacting. Let him talk. And then, say your goodbyes and walk away.

So, as soon as I heard that however, in my head, I started thinking, OK, how do I say goodbye to the man that I've fallen in love with? And then, he just kept blabbering on about something. And then, he's, like, yeah, I love you. And I actually didn't realize I said, yeah, I love you back.

Like, I didn't realize until I watched it back that I said it. So, I was just going with the emotions.

LOCKY GILBERT: You were eating it, like, I don't know, if it was shock, but in-- what Irena--

IRENA SRBINOVSKA: It's like when you propose to me.

LOCKY GILBERT: Irena tends to make something up in her head, and then, that's the end, that's the story. So, I think, before she walked out, she's, like, it's not me. So it wasn't until because--

IRENA SRBINOVSKA: Until you put the ring on my finger.

LOCKY GILBERT: No, not even then, when we went home that night. Like, we were at home, and then, you, kind of, said-- because the whole time, she was just kind of, like, very, like, oh,

IRENA SRBINOVSKA: Yeah, cool--

LOCKY GILBERT: Yeah, and I'm like--

IRENA SRBINOVSKA: --you picked me.

LOCKY GILBERT: Hey, six months, like, we're together now, and you were just, like, Oh,

IRENA SRBINOVSKA: Yeah, OK.

LOCKY GILBERT: It's just waiting for her story in her head to become true, where that's me to reject her, but it never came. And then, I rushed back, and quickly shave my legs, and wash my hair. And I'm, like, oh, my God. Crap, I'm with this guy, and I'm going to go meet up with him. This is weird.
