In MJA studios this week is 2013 Australian Big Brother star Tahan Lew!
Media connoisseur Bassem Abousaid joins us for a riveting sitdown in which Tahan details her Big Brother experience at length for the first time.
The 101-day surviving, most nominated housemate in BB history delves into the audition process, including a heated fallout with the BB producer, her expectations entering the house, and indeed, her controversies on the program.
We learn of her mental state dealing with six-consecutive nominations and anxiety in a "cabin fever" type setting, and her personal development in the house. She further shares her crafty tactics utilised to manipulate "Big Brother" and her rapport with other housemates.
The part/Malaysian/Aboriginal pinup talks about the challenges adjusting to newfound fame and recognition on the outside, the social circuit, and her post-house depression.
She outlines her relationship with V8 Supercar boyfriend David Reynolds, and his role in her shaking out of the depression, as well pulling her weight in their household.
Elsewhere we discuss her upcoming film and modelling roles, casting limitations in the Australian industry, her Bollywood potential, camel racing, snapchat nightmares, sugar-baby advances, and much more!
Thereafter Bassem sticks around to offer expert analysis on: Whether Big Brother will reappear on Australian TV, the forthcoming return of Australian Survivor, half-year 2016 TV hits and misses, and the recent 60 Minutes controversy in Lebanon.
