Sophie told 9Entertainment she felt like even after six seasons as host, she learned things from the cast.
"It's a pretty fun job, isn't it? It's the only job in the world you can't complain about," she joked.
"The cast are perfect in every which way. They were there for love, but they were also extremely entertaining. I feel like I learn every year because they've got the confidence and stand up for themselves and own everything. I didn't have that in my 20s – I don't have that now!"

Season 6's 'tough love' is all about future-proofing the relationships – but the twists also had explosive results.
"We just threw everything you could imagine at them," she explained.
"I think they need it, because there's only a certain amount of time and we want them to know if their partner is going to stick around or not, really test their relationship to kind of save them time outside. I reckon everyone should date like this!"
It worked so well, Sophie thinks this season is guaranteed to be everyone's "favourite, by far".
"I just think we ended up with some really solid couples. But having said that, usually every year, I can kind of pick who's gonna win. I have zero idea of who the public will choose this year.
"Every time I walked in, I couldn't keep up. Normally you can kind of see early, like everyone watching... But you won't be able to predict it."
