Will the Australian contestants who flew to California in March to compete, keep their spots?
Maybe, but they might just start from scratch as it would be very difficult to get them into Australia.
Huh? Wouldn’t they already be here? They would have all returned in march.
Filming a junior version straight after?
Kids aged 8 – 12, along with a parent or legal guardian, will take on our wild golf obstacle course and must be available for filming for 2 weeks from late September 2020.
No, I think they have lowered the minimum age of the child contestants as it is being filmed in Australia now.
This show has sunk to ratings Los in the US
The ratings are actually up on last year. A show getting a 0.5 in the demo is not that bad for the US summer.
I don’t think that means much in Australia
Exactly. If Seven can capture the essence of this show and treat it like family friendly entertainment I can see it becoming the next big hit.
Same I actually think this show has huge potential.
That’s right. Australia turned Masterchef into a phenomenon when it had just been an average daytime show on the decline in Britain.
Brian Taylor has been dropped as a commentator due to a clash with his AFL commitments, with his role to be recast. The show along with a junior version will now film in Queensland from late September to October.

Roy and HG please!
Why is Rob Riggle still involved if its to be shot in Australia?
Perhaps he’ll be able to get an exemption? Kind of similar to how Urzila Carlson is involved in The Masked Singer.
Eddie McGuire said on Triple M Hot Breakfast today that the same dance crew from The Masked Singer (seven of whom had tested positive to COVID-19) was supposed to appear on Holey Moley. I wonder if the production would proceed without them, meaning the producers would have to find Queensland-based dancers?
Yeah I don’t think a couple of dancers will hold up the production of this show.
Still stretching my head though on why they need dancers on a mini golf show?
Those dancers must have very good agents. navigating mass unemployment in the arts sector and border restrictions.
