Thank you for the interview Tom, and thanks to anyone that read this. It's kind of awkward trying to share this personal journey in a way that hopefully encourages discussion without crossing the line into "look at me" territory.

I hope the intent is clear, speaking about mental health and seeking help can only lead to good things. I want to try lower the stigma around talking about these topics even if only a little.

Can I also say thank you to all the positive support when I was away and when I returned. This community has been nothing but inspiring to me and I hope to entertain and be part of the club as long as we're all having fun together!!!!

Edit

I've been asked a few times about "high school" and answered this lower down in the thread. I was prescribed to a day clinic or day hospital but don't like saying it that way for my own feelings.

"A slightly easier way of thinking about a mental health clinic.

I wa...

No, thank you for tuning in and enjoying! We all had a great night with this series.

Wanted to see how many swear words it would take for one of my producers or managers to tell me off. Haven't officially been told off 😜 #winning

Genuinely interested why you felt that? My game 4 memory is mostly the tech issues and potentially that impacted the hype, but if you can share some examples I'd love to review it. Also if any other viewers felt the same, please do share, it's a genuine learning moment if I can get some tangible clips to watch back!!

Also if you just didnt like the cast, all good, can't like em all 😁

Wanted to give context on why in this tweet. It's not an easy walk from the train station to the studio and everyone was wet and cold to start the day, so it's totally understandable they were flat at the start. But after 1-1 I felt comfortable to playfully call em out and wake em up.

That purple suit was from a film and TV rental company, so it's literally made for TV.

As an aside, those pants were so tight I couldn't leave my jacket unbuttoned... It ah, didn't leave much room for the imagination if ya know what I mean ⚾🍆⚾

You might enjoy this little anecdote I shared about how I planned to let the crowd rest before calling out those BS chants in game 1 and 2 haha.

They earned my respect after the last 3 though!

❤️ I actually intentionally apologized a lot to not only keep people informed and updated, but I wanted to redirect any frustration to me talking about it too much, and not my production team. So if you listen to how often I talked, saying it's not as simple as OBS, and over and over it was with intent.

I'd rather have people saying I talked too much about it, we didn't care instead of OMG HOW CAN IT TAKE SO LONG TO FIX. Fortunately everyone understood I think.

I could feel it in my bones we'd have 5 awesome games and I gambled in game 1 saying that. It worked. Hell yes

❤️ back then, people didn't know that the feelings were real, and I often got told I was over the top of faking it. Fast forward 10 years and no one can doubt it's genuine. I really really appreciate and enjoy the show and the games, I get so energised by esports and crackshot just comes out 🤪

Oh for sure, I don't take it to heart, but I gotta call out some flat BS sometimes. Hopefully encourage this person to think a bit more critically before posting.

🤔 I love this comment thread. Thank you!!

Bro you crushed it. From flaming my rugby team to casting one of the best bo5s we've ever had. Great job bro

I'm actually very lucky I think, I'm not sure how or where the crowd interaction comes.from, but I just kind of 'get' how to play with a crowd, how much antagonising or praising them works and today I was really proud of giving the audience time to warm up and dry off in game 1 and 2. The rain and storm was genuinely crazy here, and by game 3 I was like....yo peeps, where is the hype. And after some gameplay the crowd seriously stepped up and felt engaged

Got you.

I loved every single game this series and feel really proud of the cast. I feel like all the expectations and hype we set up came true, the teams delivered and gave such compelling performances and the tri cast just felt on the same page. Nym and Caedrel popped off and I definitely let my hair down and went all in. I hope you enjoyed, and I know it was maybe a little too intense every game, but I felt the games warranted it!! Thank you for all the support, the comments in this thread have made me smile and giggle 😜

Did you see the series play out? Was I right at the start 🤔🤔🤔

Thank you so much, I love casting and I try hard to stay grounded and just enjoy the small things. Today that was easy because every game was awesome, and the stories felt natural and my colours prepped me so well. The team effort was amazing and I could shine because Nym and Caedrel did so much heavy lifting too.

Don't think that's fair at all based on the entire series. I called him out for being subpar to Larssen multiple times. If you're gonna flame, at least be specific or check yourself.
