Can they just make a decision on who is going to co host along side Monique, itâs not that hard to choose someone.

Well obviously it isnât because theyâre still trying out the options before settling on the choice.
Well there is only three people to choose from, one from WA who probably wonât make the move over east so that leaves him out of the picture. One who already works on weekends and presents Seven News and a Sunday Night reporter who hasnât presented on Sunrise for quite some time also potentially leaving him out of the picture.

But anything can change if they want it to.
If Peter Ford was correct in December, Basil is trying to make negotiations and whether a move etc is made.Basil also said he wonât take the position before the Olympics finish.
We have to remember that Weekend Sunrise doesnât rush their decisions for replacements. It was about 6 months before Sam Armytage started, and then the same amount of time to officially replace her with Monique. Plus, no one has ever officially replaced Jessica Rowe ( all have been on temporary contacts) in 2013.

Unfortunately, Channel Sevenâs misguided advice on breast screening ignores vast amounts of independent medical research about the downsides of cancer screening tests.
This back from Sam. Complete and utter garbage again from the papers trying to pick on poor Sam for anything!!

Oops, I thought I captured her reply in the link I pasted from her Instagram post. Apparently only the picture copied, not the whole post including her captionâŚ

Armytageâs story changes.
On Sunrise:
âThey [BreastScreen Australia] say after 50 get them done every two years, [but] I would say to start at 40, if you feel like it, if you want to,â Armytage said earnestly, to the agreement of her co-hosts.
On social media:
âAt NO POINT did I give medical advice. All my stats came from @BreastScreenNSW & my BC specialist told me sheâd like women 40+ to be screened.â

It was NOT advice, it was a recommendation. There is a slight difference between the two. Just because she said it doesnât mean you have to do it!!
This has happened way too many times on twitter with people calling her out on it⌠meanwhile her solution is to âBlock the Hatersâ. Canât stand this woman, Why canât she take some responsibility for what she said instead of always changing the story. Stop playing the victim card all the time.

Best not read the Sunday Telegraph today. âPoor Samâ is called out as being quite the diva by claiming paps were hanging around Bondi to snap her in her swimmers. They were actually there annoying Kate Hudson.
She makes herself a very easy target.

Iâm sorry but someone explain what she actually did wrong? Didnât she just say that women should get check ups at 40 instead of 50???

According to the University of Sydney Professor who whole the article and seems to be an expert in the field (see below)
It may surprise most people to learn that screening tests can lead to âoverdiagnosisâ: the detection of cancers that are so slow growing, they will never cause symptoms or death and are better left alone. Further, screening healthy women in their 40s is more likely to harm than save lives.

Sam Armitage could have taken a more considered approach when replying. Was it really necessary to call a medical expert in the filed âfoolishâ and take the position that she was being âattackedâ?
Why not take the critique on board and use it to further the discussion and highlight the issues. Invite the professor on Sunrise next week and see what her position is.

Medical advice you get straight from a medical professional. A recommendation was what Sam made; you donât have to listen to her!!
