She is divine. And it was so nice sitting down with her to talk to her about her experience and how she felt and feels about Jimmy. Let's get into it. Guys, we have the absolutely divine Carly on the podcast today. And last night, actually, it wasn't last night for you who were listening to this, but technically we're recording this on Thursday. So for us, it was last night last night we saw her spectacular set of teeth leave the mansion and i am very sad to see the end of them carly welcome to life on cart oh thanks guys i'm so happy to be here

these are my teeth okay i have some really important questions that i want to ask you like we want to know all about your bachelor experience but my most important question is who is your dentist can confirm i have had these teeth my whole life oh i don't know if i trust her They're real. They're genuine. They're real. They're my teeth. They're not fake.

They are spectacular. Honestly, every single time you were on the screen, I was like, are you looking at her teeth? Are you just mesmerised by her mouth? I want to be inside it. And we've got you on Zoom, and I think they've gotten whiter since the show. I haven't done anything else. They're just my teeth.

No, I was one of those geeky kids with braces, so I was lucky. Well, all the hard work paid off. But, Carly, I want to know something. you are way too normal for reality tv and i mean that in the kindest most like lovely way i truly do i'm not saying that you were boring on the screen by any means you were just so normal can you explain to me why did you sign up for the show what was it about the bachelor that made you think yeah i want to be on a reality tv show hey i can ask you guys the same question oh no we're a few sandwiches short of a picnic carly we have proven that since our show finished look to be honest i

think I kind of like I'm in my 30s and I'm still single and clearly what I've been doing hasn't worked so far or I'm just going about it wrong and I think I got to a point after a breakup about 18 months ago that I was like I need to shake some shit up I need to change what I'm doing I need to have a break from work and I need to really focus on love hey why not The Bachelor it's a franchise that's actually dedicated to love so hopefully this will be helpful so it was just like me going what's left tinder sucks bumble sucks you just get really mediocre people on there i feel oh that's a really that's amazing to say but i just felt like no offense taken well i was gonna say if you came to bondi and you were on tinder you may have run into jimmy on there because what

we've heard from a few other girls is that he was definitely on the tinder trap prior to being on the bachelor i know i think i must have i think i've just exhausted the melbourne dating pool so maybe i should have just moved states that might have been easier or you just like extend your radius and area and just gets wider and wider and wider until it extends to the whole of Australia and 60 year old men you're like there is still nobody left you get to that point on the search where it's like there is no one left in your area exactly exactly hey um I was curious to know like a lot of people apply for reality tv without having much of a career whereas you are very smart you're a corporate lawyer how did that work with like asking your employer for permission did you

have to do that to go on the show my work is actually really amazing so my firm is really small and I've been there a million years and my bosses are also some of my closest friends so when I thought about going through this process I went to my one of my best friends slash boss and said hey I'm thinking I want to do this I'm just going to go through the process I'll keep you updated and let's see how it goes and they were both so supportive like fair enough you need to do something if you're feeling like you're stuck in a rut and you need to do something like you go and have an adventure so they were incredibly supportive so I was lucky that their firm probably couldn't operate without me forever so they're like yep you do what you need to do in

the short term so we know you'll come back and you'll be happy what was I'm sorry Carly I'm just letting you know Matt's just run off to go get Lola because she's crying in the bedroom so she's going to join us on this zoom call right now so for anyone if you're listening to this and you hear some baby gurgling it's not Matt it seems like you had a bit of an idea of what the show might be like or you had you know you had hopes for what it could provide for you and that being a man but did the experience match up to what your expectations were or was it vastly different to what you thought it was going to be? Without having like I couldn't really have any expectations because how do you prepare yourself for this right but it was kind of what I expected but I didn't

really expect much because I couldn't I know that doesn't make much sense but I just I loved it like I kind of just threw myself into it and just tried to be as malleable and go with the flow as possible and I think if you're happy just to go with the process yeah I think by not having expectations that is what made it so fun I didn't put any structure around it didn't expect to find love but obviously I was hoping for it and I didn't expect to be perceived a particular way or I just didn't go in with expectations so I think that's why I enjoyed it so much I'm always so amazed that some people on night one just seem so comfortable in the setting of The Bachelor like I remember the very first time I was on set I sucked I was so bad I wonder if it's the same

with you on your season that you know when you walk up the red carpet no one really tells you anything except there's going to be someone standing there at the end of the carpet they don't tell you that there's lights there's producers there's cameras there's a big boom as well with the camera sweeping around like for me I was a deer in the headlights whereas you you seem so fine and chill with it all i don't know i did feel comfortable so i was in the first limo and i was the third girl out so i was sitting in the limo by myself two of the girls had already gone before me and so i could kind of see what was happening with jimmy and i could broadly see his outline i couldn't see his face or anything and i was just like yeah this is cool i just want to

actually embrace this and like take a second to look around and enjoy it i don't know i didn't feel nervous or anything I was just too excited and I was just ready to start so I don't know again I just went with it. Did you struggle with jealousy at all in the house I think one of the things that I struggled with the most was this feeling of as much as you know what's going on with the other girls feeling like you have to share that person that you're forming a really deep connection with how did you cope with that? I don't know how but I just didn't feel jealous I think everyone in the house was so different like we were like collectively we actually were really smart and independent successful women so I think I was just like I think I could just see

the different aspects in different women that I knew I didn't have but I knew I could never compete with either I just tried to stay in my own lane and go this is me and if Jimmy wants to get to know me and loves me awesome if he actually has a different taste that's okay I can't change that what kind of relationship is it going to be if I've forced a guy who's actually not that into me to be with me so I just kind of wanted to be me and stick to me and not really peg myself against the rest because like there was no point in doing that see I told you she was way too normal for reality tv you don't you don't belong here you don't even have a streak of crazy what are you doing Carly but I think that's that's what people love though like it's you know I think

and I'm not just trying to pass your ego because we're talking to you now but you know you were an absolute fan favorite everybody is so devastated that you've left like everybody was rooting for you yeah i think if you've seen social media and i know that you guys have kind of had social media taken away from you but the overwhelming conversation that was happening in our facebook group and also like on our instagram was like carly is the wifey and everyone was just devastated that you were let go last night let go it sounds like you were fired sorry there's no more room left at this employment we're making some people redundant yeah completely evicted yeah I know I have seen stuff online obviously it's hard not to see it I've had friends

screenshotting things and whatnot but it's so overwhelming like I'm kind of a bit like why do people care about me so much I don't understand I didn't do anything it was just me it's so overwhelming but it's so nice I did not expect it at all like you know obviously you go into this knowing that you're going to have some kind of media presence for a short period of time and you have to I guess prepare yourself for that because you have no idea what that's going to look like but I didn't expect everyone to be so nice I thought there'd be some you know some trolls hating on me just trained to be aware of that you didn't just expect everyone to be so nice though it's it's really overwhelming it's so yeah it's really special you've truly had like the most

unique experience when it comes to reality tv i have never interviewed one other person not one who has ever said everyone was just so nice it was so great usually they're like ah my mental health is rapidly declining god i've been living inside my apartment and never left self-imposed lockdown but carly last night on the episode where it was your hometowns it was such a beautiful hometown like matt and i watched it and we thought they really tried to try and throw in some jeopardy with your brother and then when it cut to your brother actually talking he was like the sweetest man that's ever walked the planet what was it like watching back your hometown and watching back something that would have been a really emotional time for you it was emotional watching it back

thankfully I had seen some photos some publicity photos ahead of time so I'd kind of gone through the emotional roller coaster before I watched it last night I was laughing I was smiling I was crying I kind of had a bit of everything last night watching my brother for me was the funniest because my brother is the best like he's such an awesome guy but yeah he's totally protective of me and he just doesn't expect or he just wants nothing less than perfect for me so just to see him being like hmm I'm like yeah that's him a bit he's actually much nicer than that as soon as he opened his mouth he was just like well Jimmy it's lovely to see you you seem like a very pleasant man and I wish you all the best and it was just like this is so perfect but I think that's why

people were a little bit confused watching it because you know there was a few others of the remaining women they did have a lot of jeopardy with their hometowns and yours was so perfect so people were kind of thinking like was jimmy trying to protect you maybe like because you guys obviously had a really great connection that you know out of respect he wanted to send you home early to to try and maybe not give you heartbreak later on i like that you're trying to be like jimmy's just such a nice guy it's not his fault like look at you sticking up for bachelor love be jimmy jimmy is such a nice guy i love jimmy in a platonic way that is a quote for daily mail carly loves jimmy i think when you're in that position it's so easy to be resentful it's so

easy to feel like you have been led astray or you've been led to believe something that's not true and i think from the friends that i had on our season when you go home straight after hometowns I think it even hits a little bit harder because you're like, I have just brought you in to meet my family. And you almost feel like your family has been pitted against everybody else's family at the same time. It's no longer just you. Did you feel resentful when, when it came to that rose ceremony and Jimmy sent you home, were you expecting it? Were you confused? Like talk me through how you felt at that time. I definitely wasn't resentful and I knew it had nothing to do with my family. And it wasn't a reflection on his time with my family because my family's amazing.

like they're awesome and like they really are and so I knew like nothing bad happened so you know it's not like my dad got the shotgun out or anything like it's not like he was like but he did after that so Jimmy you're never coming back to the morning peninsula but it was weird like I had a couple of days obviously between hometowns and the rose ceremony and in that time that's when things got super weird for me like this chirpy toxic positivity Carly like she left the building and like I was really struggling I was like emotional for like a few days straight and I couldn't work out why I was like oh is it because this bubble has burst now like you know he's in my family now it's all real and it's had this weird feeling in the pit

of my stomach so then when it got to the the rose ceremony when I didn't receive that rose I was kind of like oh I feel like this is my intuition that was trying to tell me something or or weak and you know you can only really think about intuition in hindsight I reckon but it all kind of made sense and I was actually like not totally cool with it but I was obviously really sad but I was like oh yeah I understand this and I'm content with this because there's been something in my stomach too that hasn't been sitting well with me so maybe there was something missing for me and I was just working that out too I don't know but the weird week had kind of made it feel a lot easier able to deal with I think. When you think back to your connection with Jimmy on the show were you in

love? No I wasn't in love and he knows that I would I definitely had strong feelings for him he's such an awesome guy and I think our lives would have really worked well together I think we had a lot of similar similarities we both felt so comfortable being ourselves with each other but maybe it's because I'm in my 30s I felt like I had a lot to think about before I would be able to love him like in my 20s I'd be like oh my god I love you you're amazing and you know you fall pretty hard but I was thinking about family about my job how would that work like how would we work being in different states I think I had a lot of things that I wanted to like process in my own head before I knew that I could fully love him and I just wasn't at that stage yet so I wasn't

completely heartbroken when he sent me home because I wasn't completely in love with him just yet it's also really difficult as well I think like when you are in your 30s and you have kind of lived you've lived a life you've had the failed relationships you've had the really big loves and then you've you've been heartbroken you kind of know what that feels like when that is very real it's almost a little bit more challenging for the producers to break you and to get you to really be in that all encompassed in love because you're a bit too aware of it you know and not because you're aware of the production side of things when I say it I mean you're a bit too aware of your own emotions you're a bit too sensible for it one thing I wanted to ask you and it's something

that I know from my experience and my friendship with Florence who was on my season and Florence went home at the same time that you did and she sort of said to me the very real thing was as soon as I was outside of the mansion as soon as I was away from all of the cameras and the girls and the intensity of it it made me realize that as much as I thought Matt was amazing it was very obvious to me that he wasn't the right person for me did you have that same feeling did you have that same sort of like almost like revelation once leaving the mansion. Once I left the experience I think I had that I didn't have that around hometown time though I think after I left thinking back he's amazing but I just don't think we're actually on the same page mentally he's so

intelligent and he's so emotionally intelligent he's all the things but I think that little age gap that we had actually also resulted in a bit of another gap for us I think I just don't think we were at the same like the exact same stage as some of the others. Going back to like being in the mansion and the whole experience and living in there how did you find it living with the girls like how did you find because that's the that's the biggest part the day-to-day being around this group of girls who you've never met before and you're all so different and some of you have never even lived at a home before like how did you deal with that? It's weird because I live by myself I've got my quirks I you know do everything by myself but I actually really enjoyed being in

those bunk beds it was like such a weird experience awful well I didn't enjoy the bed exactly that was like terrible sleep after terrible sleep after terrible sleep I truly hope that the art department had got you some new beds because ours all creaked so anytime someone rolled over it was like no one was getting lucky so exactly I know I was on the top bunk above Holly and like every time I need to go to the loo or whatever like the whole thing would shake and she's like no I really enjoyed it because it was such a weird thing yeah you saw I stayed out of all the shit I just wasn't interested in it so I was friendly with everyone I obviously had my close friends like Holly and I like this still and like I became really close with Tani and Lily too we had our little girl

gang and I was really close with Ash so I just like gravitated towards certain people but like I just loved the fact that I didn't have my phone I didn't have my laptop I wasn't required to work for 10 weeks or whatever it was so I just kind of embraced it as much as I could in that weird way like I didn't let the mess of the kitchen bother me because it wasn't worth it I just used the gym used the jacuzzi read Harry Potter for the first time in my life I just tried to embrace the weirdness of it and just go with it because I knew that normal life would happen again really soon I'd handle any kind of issues or conflicts that I had just by talking about them internally and I'd make sure I'd say hi to everyone in the morning and made it you know make sure that

everyone felt included by doing that I managed to stay out of all of the shit which was really nice but yeah like I just hang out with Holly it was great did you find that the drama that happened in-house was indicative to what we saw on screens or do you think that because like sometimes some things can be wildly inflated you watch it back on tv and you're like that didn't happen that was nowhere near as bad and then other things you might see and you go wow that felt so much worse at the time than how it's been portrayed do you think what we saw in regards to the drama between the girls and the way that those sort of riffs happened in the house was portrayed accurately i think it was pretty accurate i remember leaving the experience and being like

oh that wasn't pretty that wasn't very dramatic i don't know how they're going to make it dramatic like not much happened but when i actually think about it yeah like obviously the c-bomb thing happened obviously the family dinner thing happened but I think in my mind there was so many more things that happened that the amount of drama was actually diluted a lot by all the good stuff with Holly for example I would I was obviously only privy to conversations I'd have with Holly because people weren't talking negatively about her to me so I didn't ever experience those conversations and like you know people can have their opinions and but I guess I never saw all of that because I was just I don't know if I was oblivious or what when leaving it

just all those things just didn't seem that big at the time yeah and I think also a big thing as well as a lot of that stuff happens at the beginning and the longer you stay it feels like oh that was so long ago I can't even remember that then you watch it back on tv and you're like holy shit that did happen where did that girl go I haven't seen her in so long yeah maybe that's it have you started dating again or what is happening in the dating world of Carly right now there is nothing happening I haven't started dating again but that's not because I don't want to it's just I guess lockdown but I want to start dating obviously channel 10 we have a bachelorette here and ready and waiting oh man that's becoming a thing it's crazy would you do

it I think about it I've been interviewed about that a bit today and I kind of like in speaking with like my girlfriend last night we're like maybe the angle of having someone in their 30s be that person is a good thing like maybe people actually want to see like established people find love rather than these people in their 20s who might not stay together so there'd be a lot more riding on it because of my age I think but I think I don't know if I ever got the knock on the door I'd think about it the reason why Matt and I are so invested in it is because we have seen it work it worked for us it literally changed our lives and yeah prior oh my god now Marley's working up hold on now you get to meet her as well hello Marley did you just wake up from your sleep

she did Carly's here doing this interview now one of us Matt's got Lola and I've got Marley who is it that you've remained friends with out of the house I've got a pretty tight little girl gang actually so there's four of us who literally speak all day every day so obviously Holly she's still my bestie and Tani and Lily so the four of us are thick as thieves so when lockdown's done I'll be able to see Tani and Lily again and hopefully see Holly eventually when we can travel but yeah love them and I don't think any of us could have gotten through all of this without each other they're absolute legends I love them so much do you think Tani was a little bit hard done by and how her story came to an end because we didn't get the opportunity of speaking

to Tani and I feel like we didn't get to see a lot of her on our screens and then she left in what seemed like a very dramatic and if you guys can't remember it was a it was like a fight between whether Tani was telling the truth or Jay was telling the truth and it kind of Jimmy had to pick a side in this unfortunately Tani was sent home do you feel like she was a little bit hard done by in that situation yeah I really do Tani is an incredible person and yeah we didn't really get to see too much of her on the show but she is amazing she's got an epic resting bitch face but underneath that she isn't and she'll say that too but underneath she is an absolute angel she's really thoughtful and she's really considerate and she's really wise and measured so Tani is not a

liar she really isn't so I do trust that Tani did hear something I didn't hear anything myself so I can't comment on whether the rumors are true or anything like that but if Tani heard something I I don't like she wouldn't have lied it's just not in her character to lie like we've said loads of time guys like we're not out here to try and unleash the dirt or anything but also you can hear things differently in those sorts of situations whether or not you relay the message exactly as the message was originally said or with the same tone or intention like who knows but Carly enough about Tani, Tani's not here. Carly tell me what's in store for you now like what is next for Carly? Oh it's kind of life as normal now I think back to work kicking goals at

work and being a lawyer again just getting over this crazy roller coaster and I don't know we'll see like yeah i'll be out dating when i can again i have no idea but i'm looking forward to whatever's next because i think something good will happen i don't know what it is but it will it's called the bachelorette yeah it'll be on next year at around september carly thank you so much for taking the time to interview with us today i honestly mean it you are literally the most normal lovely pleasant person that has ever been on a reality tv show you have fantastic teeth they are even better over zoom and you've just been a delight to interview and i'm very sorry about my wild children. Lost Maddie J in the interim of that interview. No, thank you so much, Laura.

Laura, I mean, you're looking at me with a smile on your face, so I think you're happy with that, right? Thank you very much for taking the children and allowing us to push on in the face of chaos.
