We were flooded with entries for our competition to interview 3T. The winner
was Becky Smith who wanted to shipwreck the boys on a desert island and then ask them loads of questions? So would they sink
or swim? Over to you Becky I = Interviewer (Becky Smith), T1 = Taj, T2 = Taryll, and T3 = TJ...
I: You're on a world cruise when your ship hits an iceberg and starts
to sink. What one possession would you grab before abandoning ship?
T2: I'd take a life jacket. I'd like to survive
T1: I'd need a life jacket to, so I could float. I don't think I'd be a strong
enough swimmer.
T3: I'd take a waterproof CD player.
T2: Oh, you wouldn't. How would you hear it? With your waterproof headphones?!
T1: Well if TJ can take a waterproof CD player, I'd like to take a waterproof
video camera to film the whole thing.
T2: (slightly exasperated) Doh! Doh! Doh!
I: Once on the island, who's likely to take charge and who would build
the best shelter?
T3: Taj would take charge but he wouldn't build the best shelter.
T1: Huh! I read books so I know all about building huts and things.
T2: No way. Taj's shelter would have holes in it. Actually, I think I would
take charge. I'd be best at telling the others what to do.
I: You only have the clothes you're shipwrecked in. Would you make new
clothes or bare all?
T3: As long as we were alone on the island, I'd adapt and forget about clothes.
Actually, I'd probably just wear a little thong thing to cover me up.
T2: Whoah! Did you notice he just said a "little" thing (bursts into
fits of giggles with Taj)
T3: (A touch put out) That's not funny, man.
T2: I'd be fine with no clothes.
T1: I'd definitely have to make clothes to wear. I'm too shy to wear nothing
- even in front of my brothers.
I: Would you let your hair grow, beard and all?
T3: I'd grow a beard just to see what it would look like.
T1: I'd probably still try and shave, using a sharp rock or something.
T2: I'd let it grow. I'd have fun with my hair and try to make the others
laugh.
I: You decide to send a message in a bottle. What would you write?
T1: If it was someone I knew, I'd send directions to where we were. If not
I'd write the story of our experiences and hope it would be turned into a film.
T2: I'd send a request for food and candy. That way we'd keep happy.
T3: I'd also send out an order for peanut M&Ms, they're tops, man. Plus
a note to our friends to come and join us. If my friends were there too, I'd be quite happy living on the island for quite
a long time.
I: Your CD player is washed up. What CD would you like to be inside?
T3: My Uncle Michael is my mentor, so a copy of HIStory
T1: I'd want a CD of soothing classical music to help us keep calm.
T2: Well if the other two aren't having our CD, Brotherhood, then I will.
That way we could keep practicing. At least we would have loads of time to work on our dance routines!
I: A passing ship spots you and you're rescued! What's the first thing
you do when you arrive on dry land?
T1: Have a shower. I wouldn't unpack till the next day.
T3: I'd immediately ring my dad and my friends.
T2: No. what we'd have to do is call a big press conference. Before we do
anything else we'd have a photo shoot and tell our story.
I: A film director wants to make a movie about your experiences. Who would
play you?
T2: I'd like Taj to direct and us to play ourselves.
T3: Actually I'd pick Will Smith.
T1: I'd want Arnold to play me.
I: Arnold who?
T1: Arnold Schwarzenegger
of course. You see I'd like a bit of humour to my part!
