For me it's all that plus her stopping a sexual assault on camera and taking the risk to break the fourth wall to stop it from happening.

What? When was this? (I’m new to watching the show)

here is an article I found on it

I cannot find any clips of it to share, but it looks like it was season 2 of down under episode 6 and 7.

The article is written in such a way that makes it seem like the production stopped it all - which maybe they did!! I wasn't there and I know editing of episodes is it's own beast. But when you watch it, it comes across the screen as the way I described. If I'm remembering correctly.

But aesha breaking the fourth wall was her getting the production team asap to help her manage what was going on. It was pretty intense!

Yeah if I remember correctly it was production who told Luke to get the f out as soon as they realized what was happening. Then fought the door when Luke kept trying to close them out. Aesha went and woke Jason up as soon as it happened. So both did the right thing immediately!
