The House 4 couple told Chattr they checked on Rick every day while he was in hospital and continued speaking with him away from the cameras. They described Lisa's suggestion that their concern was performative as "simply so untrue".
The Body Corporate Meeting Sparked The Fallout
The argument began after Rick's injury raised questions about whether Tayla should receive extra labour or time to help House 2 keep pace. Courtney and Sev opposed the proposed arrangement, arguing that changing the rules would affect every team's competition.
The meeting soon became about more than the practical request. Lisa challenged the sincerity of the other contestants' concern for Rick, leaving Courtney and Sev feeling they had been singled out for taking an unpopular position.
They said viewers did not see the daily check-ins and off-camera conversations that took place while Rick was recovering. Courtney also said they had messages to support their account, although those messages were not published with the interview.
Their version does not settle every point of the disagreement, but it directly challenges the implication that their vote reflected how they treated Rick personally.
Courtney And Sev Reject The 'Pile-On'
The couple believe they became the "scapegoat" once they refused to approve extra working hours. In their telling, the vote was reframed as proof they lacked empathy, despite their private efforts to support Rick and Tayla.
They also accused Lisa of changing her position during the discussion. Courtney and Sev felt the conversation became a "pile-on" rather than a straightforward debate about how the competition should handle an injured contestant.
Their comments present one side of a disagreement shaped heavily by what happened away from the cameras. Lisa has previously spoken about the cast divide, saying only four of the five teams remained in contact after filming, but she did not publicly identify the excluded team at the time.
The Relationship With Lisa Has Not Recovered
Courtney and Sev said they were never especially close with Lisa and confirmed that has not changed since the show. Their assessment of Rosco was warmer, with the pair making a point of separating their feelings about him from the conflict with his wife.
That distinction suggests the cast split is more complicated than one house refusing to speak with another. Individual friendships have survived even where the broader team relationships remain strained.
The dispute also highlights a recurring problem with reality television conflicts. Contestants make decisions using conversations and messages that may never appear in an episode, while viewers are asked to judge their motives from the edited meeting that makes it to air.
Courtney and Sev are clear about how they see this one: they supported Rick personally, opposed a rule change competitively and believe those two positions were unfairly treated as the same thing.
