He’s a bit of eye candy for the Mum’s I’d say haha.

Not this Mum!

Harry should have been in bottom 4 over Maya

He is!

Oh fuck! I was wrong, sorry!

Harry defs should have been in the bottom 4.

I now take this back:

I’d say Australia got it right! These 4 would be in my bottom 5.

 

[rj90]

Not this Mum!

Hahaha!

In terms of the competition, this sing off makes no sense… But I’m actually glad that they’re getting a few extra performances in.

Is it semi unfair to the others who don’t get an extra opportunity to sing? Probs not actually haha.

Did both Maya and Jasey have false starts on their song?

 

[Sephrenia]

My internet is APPALLING! Telstra are going to get a rocket up their arse from me tomorrow!

Not sure...but I didn't think Jasey did very well...Maya was good imo.

 

[Sephrenia]

Ben chose a "banned" song...hmmm...

 

[bleachy_dude]

Made You Look is so darn catchy!

I actually don’t agree with Amy re: Noorah’s anger. It’s not endearing. But I guess I can’t judge. I’ve never been in a situation like this.

 

[bleachy_dude]

Nope. I don’t think Australia got this right.

 

[rj90]

You can hear the producers in their ear telling them the name. The card is all for show haha!

 

[rj90]

Nope. I don’t think Australia got this right.

Agreed!

So SMS voting only - and to a full number? I thought you had shorter codes for voting - certainly did back in the Big Brother days.

In December 2021 Telstra stopped calls and texts to premium-rate numbers (i.e. any of the 1902 phone numbers or the 19 SMS lines). I guess they saw that was a significant enough portion of their audience so they made it a regular number. It doesn't even reply with a confirmation, though it was mentioned as such in the fine print.

Judges choice next week? So at least the song choices will be better!

Shocking result.
Shocking as in two of the best singers are gone, when there are still people like Ben, Noorah and Harry there.
Not shocking though that they voted out the two oldest - it's the 14 year olds with unlimited texts who will drive the results.

It would have made far more sense for the judges to save one of the bottom 4 - THAT would prevent a Ricki Lee situation, not saving someone who wasn't in danger anyway.
