"I feel like The Voice has actually changed my life," Tarryn said when her name was called out.
“It feels amazing, going from The Blinds to being in the Grand Finale and somehow believing that I can do this, it’s just thanks to Rita for believing in me.”
Her coach, Rita Ora, who has now won the competition two years in a row, said: "Are you kidding me? You did this. You did this! It’s just incredible, you’re incredible, please answer my phone calls once in a while and just remember this is just the start. I’m so happy for you, well done Australia; thank you so much.”
Speaking about Tarryn and her journey previously, Rita said: “Tarryn’s sacrificed time with her kids to make her dream come true. She is undoubtably one of the best singers I’ve seen on a show like this.”
Tarryn shared: “I want people to know that they can still pursue their dreams as parents. I really want to win.”
Fans slam competition for being 'trauma porn'
It came after fans took to social media to slam the show for trying to 'milk' contestants for drama.
While the show's format lends itself to contestants opening up and sharing their lives through bonding with their coaches and also through performing, people are now slamming the show for becoming 'trauma porn' and saying it's become jarring to watch.
Taking to Reddit, a user uploaded a thread to discuss the latest season of the show, calling out that every singer seemed to have to talk about some sort of trauma in their packages.
"Every singer that goes out to sing has some trauma story from their past forced into their intro piece before they go on stage and it’s so blatantly obvious that they are trying to milk the story," Reddit user tasmaniantreble said.
"Post-natal depression, father dying of cancer, parents separated when they were kids, overweight guy with body issues… Some of it is so jarring when you can tell the contestant doesn’t even feel that comfortable talking about it or they are forcing some scripted lines for the camera. The worst was tonight when Guy Sebastian surprised one of his singers during the rehearsal with a picture of him and his dead father.
"Why do they shamelessly do this?"
The thread garnered a lot of comments, with people saying 'this has been reality TV for at least 10 years' and other reality shows following the format of using 'sob' stories to draw viewers in.
