Ps - odds loosely derived from Sportingbet Australia:

I couldn't find the date for the final anywhere - if you know the exact date, please send in a flag and we can change.

I'll also start posting weekly elimination questions after this Monday's elimination.

Unbelievable! I thought Luke or Teale should have been the next to go. And although I like Mark a lot, his rendition of 'I'm Bad' was supremely annoying ...
posted 1 year ago
Yeah, it was awful. I thought he would go as well, I only see the performances when they show them in the ads trying to get people to vote so I may have missed something in Chrislyn's performance.

Breaking news - Mark has been eliminated; it's Wes and Luke in the final.

I'm distraught :-( he's so much better than Wes or Luke.
posted 1 year ago
Well I've just hedged my bets. I don't even watch the show, I picked Luke at random when I made the prediction lol
