Interviewer: We got the opportunity to catch up with one star of the show, Mark Milbum, to find out a little bit more about the new series, the reaction he’s had from those watching and more... What can new viewers expect from Timber Creek Lodge?
Mark Milburn: It’s a showcase of adventure, high stress and how people work in close proximity of each other. We also deal with miscommunication. There’s also a lot of humility and modesty and therefore I think it’s a show that people can connect to on a real personal level. An example of when things don’t work well is early on the show when Jamie, the manager and I butt heads. He has a very different managing style from what I’m used to, as he liked to micro-manage me, so it was a really challenging relationship. We didn’t succeed in our relationship, but in the end the guests had a great time so that’s all that matters.
Interviewer: How did you come about making the decision to star on a reality show?
Mark Milburn: I’ve been in the entertainment and modeling business for 10 years now, and I always knew I wanted to work in adventure tourism. When the opportunity came up to be a mountain host, I didn’t really care if it was for a reality show because the job sounded fun and amazing.
Interviewer: How have you found the response from viewers to date?
Mark Milburn: To be honest, the response has been great. However, something I do want to highlight is some of the negative responses and the enormity of internet bullying that comes with it. We chose to take risks in our lives and play out these characters and relationships for people and it’s unfortunate that some people feel like they have the voice to insult some of us. Don’t get me wrong, people love the show, but there is a sadness that comes with those who feel as if they can bully us.
Interviewer: Are there any moments of the show you look back on and wish you could change?
Mark Milburn: I don’t believe in regrets so I wouldn’t want to change anything. I do, however, have moments in which I wish we had communicated better as a team and delivered differently. The experience taught us so much and we walked away as stronger and better people, which I think is an amazing thing to accomplish.
Interviewer: A lot of people who star on reality TV have a lot to say about the edit they receive— do you think you’ve received a fair edit?
Mark Milburn: I think the edits do test you. A reality show is all about an algorithm and fitting into the algorithm. You’ll never know the full story of what’s been going on. We would be around each other for 20 hours a day and the crew would only see three hours of it. However, if you look at it with a grain of salt, you’ll see we had a great time. I think the edit is fair, but you only see 45 minutes of it. There is so much that people don’t know, and that leads to interpretation on both the show and on us.
