about nine years or so.

And in all that time, I've not seen anything like this.

Typically when someone leaves the experiment, the producers like to kind of keep it on the low down.

They don't want us to know necessarily who's in and out of the experiment.

So what we typically see is just a car or a taxi or Uber coming out of the car park.

And you might not necessarily know who's in the car,

But that's pretty much all you see.

You just have an idea that they're out.

They didn't show up to the dinner party or the next dinner party.

And that's how they'd control it.

So it was really kind of unusual to see a contestant, in this case Marina, coming out of the hotel by themselves and organizing their own departure, their own pickup.

And it was really unceremonious.

And the thing about it, it's almost like they're being thrown to the wolves, you know, like they've just been thrown out on the curb with no assistance from producer to coordinate their exit to keep them away from the paps.

And so, yeah, that was her.

That's what happened with her.

She just walked out the door, out the front of the hotel with about five or six bags.

And she sat down on the bench seat just outside the door.

And we were just coming back from getting a coffee around the corner.

when we've seen this going down.

So there she is, coming out of the hotel, sits down on the bench seat.
