I thought the production was a lot tighter. Last season there was a lot of time spent showing the cast sitting around interacting (thanks to Peter Abbott I think). There was virtually none of that tonight with the whole show full of staged events. I suspect they will leave the more natural interactions to the companion NOW program.
I did laugh when Anthony Callea said he had know idea who she was and was a bit too embarrassed to ask her.
I donât know what people expected from it to be honest. I would actually say it was better than some of the earlier episodes of the UK version.
I have definitely heard of Courtney Hancock.
When? How?
Only heard of Callea, Taylor, Harragon and Fevola.
Warne is the only saving grace.
By watching IronWoman series about few years ago
Really? You must live a sheltered life. Or are you 12?
Seriously you havenât heard of Dean Geyer? Akmal Saleh? Laurina Fleure?
Dean Geyer was on Glee, Neighbours and Idol.
Akmal Saleh is on the comedy fests on Ten and HYBPA
Laurina with her dirty street pie on The Bachelor
Really? So youâre the one that watches that. ![]()
I somehow doubt that a large majority of the population are particularly familiar with those names.
That said, I do think that Ten did get a few more âfamiliarâ names compared to last year.
to be fair Akmal is one of the more well-known people there - heâs been touring and performing in prominence since around 1999 and has had a radio show in the mid noughties. Iron Woman is the only one I donât really know.
Dean Geyer is quite well known! He was on Idol back in the day and I remember him the most from his stint on Neighbours which a lot of people around my age would have watched.
Them calling him a Hollywood heartthrob is stretching it though.
Youâre right. Based on one season of Glee and one season of short-lived Terra Nova?
IACNow wasnât too bad, for day 1.
I think it will also get better once they have more material to work with.
Who is the girl though???
Heather Maltman, from last years The Bachelor
And what qualifies her to be a tv show host?
