I enjoy watching Finals Week, particularly the Grand Final edition.
The four grand finalists and their specialty subjects for tonight are
Clark Gormley - Spike Milligan
Bianca Reynolds - the plays of Tennessee Williams
Luke Cornish - 21st century Archibald Prize winners
Mickey Logue - Men Behaving Badly
The show finished 10 minutes ago on the East Coast. I watched it, and enjoyed it. I liked the3 one-hour edition.
I enjoyed tonight’s grand final as well.
All four struggled during the slow burn round. I feel very sorry for Bianca who only received one point for guessing Stan Grant as the TV host. She could have got his name by tip No.7 (Stan won a Logie award for hosting current affairs show Real Life for Seven in 1994) - obviously she was too young to remember to have watched the show.
