Not cool. Cruel.Imagine tigermist and this brand swapping details and creating a men and women's fashion outlet? Cool, right?

Big Brother's Tim and Tully: Still Living the Dream One Year On
by Genevieve Rota 05/9/14
Of all the contestants on last year's Big Brother, two stood out from the crowd as the most polarising — whether they were loved passionately of hated passionately, one thing couldn't be denied: Tim Dormer and Tully Smyth got people talking. Tim won the show, walking away with $250,000 and a confirmed legion of fans, while Tully had a tougher time of it with an army of haters ready to pounce when she left the house six weeks before the finale.
Now, as the 2014 iteration of Big Brother draws closer (it starts Monday night), we thought it was high time to catch up with these two. They've been busy: they went to Splendour in the Grass together in late July, Tully's just returned from a trip to the UK and Tim's living his dream hanging out regularly with icons Terri, Bindi and Bob Irwin. We spoke with the chatty pair — who seem as close as brother and sister — about how the past year has treated them, what they struggled with upon re-entering the real world and why they still get emotional talking about the BB experience.
POPSUGAR Australia: What are you both doing with yourselves now?
Tim: It’s a year on. Both me and Tully are really passionate about the media industry and I’d love to keep working in radio and TV, I’ve got a finger in both pies at the moment. I’m still living the dream a year on. I know it sounds lame but it’s true, we’ve been really lucky I think.
Tully: Yeah, I think Tim and I have both been really lucky in that we’ve been able to get enough projects and opportunities to keep things going a year from when we left the house. Same as Tim, I want to pursue presenting, I’ve been doing a bit of travel blogging, and still keeping my blog and Instagram going with social posts, fashion stuff. But yeah I think the dream for both of us is to do TV presenting.
PS: What surprised you the most about your newfound fame, and how did you cope with it?
Tully: Splendour was crazy; that’s like nothing I’ve ever seen before. I thought the crowd would be too cool to come up and say hi but that was nuts. I think people just knowing your name and feeling like they know you personally, like people coming up to you and making comments on your dog or what you ate yesterday — that’s still really bizarre to get used to.
Tim: I think that’s the beauty of Big Brother, like the nature of it is that it is quite voyeuristic, and they’re watching us live, eat, sleep and go to the toilet even. We’re in their [viewers’] living rooms! I was on there for 101 days, almost four months, so now they’re really familiar with us. They’ll run up to you and say your name like an old friend, and that’s so funny ‘cause they go, “Oh, I know you! I feel like I know you, this must be so weird.” It is strange, but rather than feeling like it’s an invasion of privacy, I kind of . . .
Tully: It’s flattering.
Tim: Yeah, it’s really flattering! And we’re both doing what we’ve always wanted to do and Big Brother’s opened up a lot of opportunity and it’s because people watching the show connected with us. So you never know, the next kid that comes up to you might have spent $50 of his hard-earned money so I could get a lot of opportunity in my life. So I’ll always have time for anyone that comes up to say g’day, because you never know. They might’ve really connected or gotten something out of my experience on the show.
PS: And what about any negative comments or Instagram bullying?
Tully: I think we were probably two of the most polarising people on the show, so we’ve both got our fair share of . . . You know, there’s a lot of love, and the love has always been overwhelming, but we’ve both copped our fair share of flack. At the end of the day, I mean . . . You just ignore it. We signed up for it.
Tim: It’s about engagement. And at the end of the day, we’re the ones that people still talk about and remember from the show, so love us or hate us, you care about us. That’s all that really matters at the end of the day.
Tully: And while people do feel like they know us, it’s important to remember that we were on a TV show and at one point there were 21 of us and you saw a minute of us a day. So while they feel like they know us, I think as long as my friends and family still love and support me I don’t really care what people say on social media.
Tim: And with people like Tully, you read some of the comments people make about her appearance and stuff, I don’t get comments about my appearance — I think girls get it a lot worse. And I just think, gosh. It’s harder for girls. I was really lucky on the show; being in there longer meant Australia got to see all of me and maybe I didn’t get bad edits. Sometimes I think Tully is remembered for things that I don’t think are her best qualities . . . And I value her so much more now and I don’t know if people saw that on the show.
Tully: Tiiiiiiim! That’s a bit sweet.
PS: Would you say the past year has been a positive or a difficult one?
Tully: Um, it’s probably been the hardest year of my life if I’m honest. I came out to a bit of a media uproar. As Tim said, I am still lucky that I am able to be doing what I want to be doing, I’m able to pursue what I want to pursue. In terms of my personal life it’s been a really difficult year. But it’s only made me stronger; I’m a different person than I was a year ago. I definitely feel stronger mentally and emotionally, but for me it’s been a really difficult year.
Tim: Yeah, I always say to people, out of the whole Big Brother experience over the past 12 months, winning the show was the easiest part of the whole thing. It’s a constant readjustment of your perspective and I don’t want to get a big head or . . . people promise you the world after the show and you have to find out what’s real, who you can trust and like Tully said, it’s all about the connections with your family and protecting that personal life. That’s what’s real at the end of the day. Reality TV, all that stuff is just, I don’t know, a TV show. That’s the saddest thing about the whole experience. Tully and I, more than anybody else in that house, really had a personal connection with the house if that makes sense, and Big Brother [the person]. We both were quite emotional in there at times because I don’t think —
Tully: I wanted to stay in there forever.
Tim: Yeah, I didn’t want to leave! And so coming off the back of it for the last 12 months, you realise it was a personal experience for us but for everybody else it was a TV show.
Tully: And there’s a new one now . . .
Tim: And the network doesn’t care about us [laughs].
Tully: I feel like I’m going to watch the new one and be like, “Get out of my bedroom, you’re in my bed. Get out of my bedroom, you’re in my house!” [Laughs]
Tim: Well, they’ve stripped the house! That is no more. What that experience was is no more and all we got are really good memories. You’ve got to think of the positives more than the negatives.

Tim: Well, they’ve stripped the house! That is no more. What that experience was is no more and all we got are really good memories. You’ve got to think of the positives more than the negatives.
PS: What are your five survival tips for people who want to go into the house?
Tim: Oh, that’s a good question!
Tully: Oh, god.
Tim: I mean, everyone says, “Be yourself.”
Tully: One of mine would be to take everything on board and be really open-minded. Roll with the punches. It might not be what you’re expecting but at the end of the day you’re in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you’re in this house with a bunch of crazy random people and I think you should just say yes to everything and throw yourself into everything. You’re given all these silly little challenges and sometimes you feel a bit like a goose, but the more you get into it the more fun you have. One of my favourite challenges was the rock band challenge and I hated the idea at first. I don’t want to have to dance and sing in front of other people! But it was the best week. Be a yes person.
Tim: Don’t be afraid to show your flaws. Tully and I never hid how messy we were as people and everyone says, “Oh, what was your strategy?” A lot of people thought I was very strategic and manipulative. My only strategy was to not care how people perceived me because I was so strong and confident with how I perceived myself. And you know what, when you’re in there for three-and-a-half months, where you don’t have your family, you don’t have your job, you don’t have the things in your life that you get your identity from . . . I don’t know, I really connected to myself and I think for anyone going into that Big Brother house it’s amazing opportunity for you to really find out who you are.
Tully: We all said it was like free therapy, you all do so much talking about yourself and your life, and I think hanging out with people from other backgrounds who’ve had such interesting life stories, it makes you look at your own life and gain a lot of insight. I learnt so much about myself in that house. It’s a really unique opportunity to have a look at yourself from the outside in.
Tim: It’s a magnifying glass on yourself. You’re questioning yourself every day and that’s the tough part of surviving Big Brother.
Tully: I’d also say lap it up. It goes by so quickly. We look back with the fondest of memories and I know a lot of us, we’re always re-watching little clips and stuff on YouTube and getting a big smile across my face. Every day you’re in there is a blessing. Just have fun!
Tim: I can honestly say that lived every moment of that house to the fullest, and you don’t want to walk out and have regrets that you held back or something. And you know what, that’s the other thing: remember that you’re on a TV show! Don’t be boring, don’t spend the time sitting by the pool and in the sun. Engage with people in there, Australia wants to see clashes of opinions. I stirred the pot sometimes but it was only because — I didn’t do it in a malicious way, I did it because it was interesting! I think people can benefit from watching people coming from different worlds and relating. That’s what Big Brother’s all about. Jump first into it, and don’t hide away.
Tim: Oh, that’s a good question!
Tully: Oh, god.
Tim: I mean, everyone says, “Be yourself.”
Tully: One of mine would be to take everything on board and be really open-minded. Roll with the punches.

Every time Tully does that one pose, it reminds me of this and I can't ever shake it
She needs to just stick that white bathing suit back on and prance around in that forever. Leave her fingers away from her mouth.
