Would need to be a much safer program without the stress and bitchiness for Joh to host it

No thanks.
I’m guessing Seven saw what Lifestyle Channel was doing with Selling Houses Australia (and their spin-offs) and decided to follow suit (regarding Apartment Rules, etc).
Abbey Gelmi would be in the box seat for the hosting gig.

You’d think so. She’s the heir to Sonia’s throne 
Curse of the Chippendales
Coming Soon
The muscular men of the Chippendales captured the hearts, minds, and dollars of the 1980s in their iconic cuffs and collars. As women’s liberation collided with new ideas of modern masculinity, this unique moment in history catapulted the Los Angeles dance troupe to untold riches and global fame. But as the crowds out front sky-rocketed from hundreds to thousands, the men behind the phenomenon plunged into greed, paranoia, and ultimately murder. Discover the audacious true crime plot behind the scenes, as the beefcakes and businessmen who made male strippers a household name fell foul of the Curse of the Chippendales.
It’s Los Angeles in the late 70’s; parties are wild, disco is king, and a struggling club is looking for the next big thing. Women are claiming their independence. They’re earning their own money, the pill has revolutionized the terms of sexual engagement and everybody just wants to dance and have a good time. After some messy experiments with mud-wrestling, the rookie owner of the struggling club takes a chance with male stripping and the Chippendales is born.
The early line-up of male dancers and spandex clad hosts flipped the Playboy dream for women into a raunchy male strip show with a hands on approach. A cultural phenomenon was born, riding the wave of social liberation to become an overnight hit with seemingly endless possibilities for fame and fortune for those involved.
Hundreds of women rushed to the club; some bringing along their mum or grandma to be tantalised by dancers happy to flirt and kiss for tips. Dance routines played on women’s wildest fantasies and drove the audience into a frenzy. The Men of Chippendales weren’t just strippers, they were pioneers of sexuality for women.
But behind the scenes, a seething brew of jealousy, paranoia and drug use exploded into tragedy. What began as a joyous celebration of freedom, spiralled into murder and death, leaving the club’s community in shock and opening the door on the Curse of the Chippendales.

Overnight? Who’s watching then anyway? Is it just a normal broadcast?
It is a normal broadcast and includes games, and performances from local artists and groups who otherwise won’t get a chance to appear in the primetime Telethon telecast.

So they will at 2am? Seems like a waste of money to me.
Those people who usually watch Rage on a Saturday night, now can watch music acts on Seven and donate to a worthy cause too? Those wanting to watch Home Shopping may be disappointed though…
Sorry I should have explained it clearer. Telethon’s primetime sessions on Saturday and Sunday are usually reserved for performers with higher profiles. The artists who take part in the overnight session are relatively unknown (at least to the rest of WA) and for many of them, this will be the first time they get to perform on live TV.

Agreed 100%.
They’ve done it every year with exception to last year (IIRC), don’t know why there’s carry on like they’ve never done it before. It’s part of the concept of a Telethon…

It’s great that they deliver an all day experience for the people of Perth. Kerry will go down as one of the state’s biggest supporters. It is no wonder they are so loyal to Seven over there, also with daily local news, Flashpoint and WAFL to boot.
