Dean Wells, who you could say was the original villain, he went straight to social media to share this.
And after I did a post questioning Channel 9 for casting Tyson, Harrison Boone, another former villain, well, he randomly texts me in response saying, Josh, as if you wouldn't want Tyson to punish you.
The difference between Tyson though and all of those other male villains before him, in my opinion, it's that he's a fusion of all of them.
Because each year it seems like the producers find these controversial male figures who only maybe tick one or two of their controversial boxes.
For example, in Dean's backstory all those years ago, he was introduced as an unapologetically proud alpha male and a big believer in traditional gender roles.
Harrison, a few years later, he was then introduced to someone who won't just settle for anyone, he sets the bar ridiculously high.
And he was then constantly branded a misogynist by viewers.
Yet Tyson, he's everything they were.
Plus, he also ticks boxes that are now kind of just anti-women, anti-equality, anti-anything woke or progressive.
You know, he matched Chris with the body shaming.
He's far right.
He loves Donald Trump plus me as a gay man.
I also find him kind of homophobic.
Now, to me, the proof of this last-minute decision to bring Tyson onto the show is proven by a detail that only someone like myself would know.
And that's down to the fact that Tyson and Stephanie, they filmed their wedding last year on the lawn of the historic Lindsay House in Darling Point, Sydney.
which was the exact same spot their original villain, Mika, filmed his now-deleted wedding, which I know because I was at both of their shoots.
So again, when I'm told Tyson really was a last-minute choice of casting and producers were then faced with pulling off a whole new wedding at the last minute, which, you know, involves recce-ing venues, planning lighting, planning audio, planning the shot list, booking vendors, crews, all these logistical things that viewers don't think about,
It seems the bosses just went, oh wait, why don't we just recreate the wedding we've just wiped?
The same venue with the same crew standing in exactly the same spots getting the exact same shots they had just weeks earlier.
It's just with two different people.
