This statement is true. Greg, the host of the program, tells us that tonight he will be talking to people with "unusual" (strange, uncommon) talents.
This statement is true. The guest on this show, Shane from Australia, has "aquaphobia", or a fear of water. "To be scared (of snakes)" is to be fearful of them.
This statement is false. According to Greg, the host, Shane is from Sydney, Australia and that Shane is in the studio with him. Greg does however begin the show by saying that the show is being broadcast from Wellington.

If something is 'unusual', it is 'strange' or 'uncommon'. Example: Snow in July is very unusual. 'Unusual' is not a 'synonym' of 'tricky'.
If something is 'fun', it is 'enjoyable', 'amusing' or 'pleasurable' to do. Example: Video games are fun but bad for your social life. 'Fun' is not a 'synonym' of 'tricky'.
This is the best choice here. The term 'tricky' means 'difficult' or 'hard'. 'Trickier' is the comparative form, so 'a trickier question' is a 'more difficult question'. Here's another example: 'This English lesson is too easy for me. Do you have anything trickier?'.
If something is 'unexpected', it surprises you because it is not expected. Example: The restaurant received an unexpected visit from a health and safety officer. 'Unexpected' is not a 'synonym' of 'tricky'.
