I did. There is the typical journalistic disclosure that there is no accusations. At least you put it high up in your article. News Corp usually buries it towards the end.

It was a disclosure I was happy to share because my true belief (and from what I’ve heard) he was upfront. I also know Andrew and I know he is a straight-up guy who would not lie and I felt I made it very clear where I believed the blame for this stuff-up lies. And it is a stuff-up. I don’t believe this is the end of the world, but it’s not a good look for a new show.
it did sound in my interpretation which i got wrong and iam sorry for that it sounded like you were having go at andrew and the show in general . i apologize i went on the defense about this show as i really like it and i hope it does good

It’s all good and I appreciate your words. Just for your info I also said on the podcast I make that I liked the show and I really like Grant. I think he is one of the best hosts on Australian TV. This whole story is just about their own terms and conditions which have been broken.
Also, in my most recent story I have shared an e-mail I wrote to 10 trying to find a way to move forward and work together, which they have ignored. They could have killed this whole story simply by saying it was a stuff-up… and really, that’s all it was but they decided to deceive journos.
Having administered competitions in the past, a situation where a current or (in some cases) recently former employee winning it is about as close to a ‘five alarm’ situation you can have.
If they can barely run a game show competently, what else are they screwing up?

They are getting a good variety of contestants. I was expecting there to be repeats of people every few eps.

Is this the first time they have reused a celebrity so far?

There will be a lot more coming up. Tim Blackwell mentioned on Nova that he recently filmed three episodes. So they must film them together and then spread them out on screen.
