In reality, the Celebs only need to be on stage the day they are revealed…so is it possible there are other people in the costumes during the performances and celebs record their singing…would make it much easier to hide the identities
The original telemovie won two Emmys in 2006.

None of this makes sense. It goes against the whole point of the show. How would they know if it’s the day they are revealed or not? The online audience votes whilst they are filming the episode and then someone is eliminated. So they would have to be there every day that they are performing anyway because they won’t know when they are being eliminated. Also their identify is more likely to remain unknown under stage 4 because it’s not like they are going to be out or people are going to be out to spot them. What else would they be doing anyway in Melbourne during stage 4? They would want to be there and a part of it. It serves no purpose someone else being in the costume.

How long has this been filming for?

About a week.
Since last Saturday.
So all singers I assume are Melbourne based?
I don’t think so. If they could get Jackie O, Dani and Urzilia into Melbourne I would assume they could get contestants from other states.

Yeah like what else have they got on at the moment? A few weeks in a hotel or private apartment while staying low key anyway
Jackie O said she had to spend more than three weeks in Melbourne without her daughter:
You’ve had to relocate to Melbourne for filming. How hard was it leaving your daughter Kitty at home in Sydney?
My daily schedule is pretty gruelling right now but by far the hardest thing for me was leaving Kitty at home. I’ve only been away from her for a week at the most, and this time I’ll be away for three and a half weeks. It was the one thing that made me unsure about going ahead with doing the show again because, once coronavirus worsened in Melbourne, I knew she wouldn’t be able to come down for weekends. I’m gutted – and she is too, because last year she was on set and she loved the show. She became friends with Dannii’s son Ethan and they’d hang out.
Did you consider pulling out of filming?
I was unsure about going ahead, but then we’ve got FaceTime and Zoom and all those things. We talk several times a day and she’s totally fine – but I’m gutted that I’ll be away for so long.
When Jackie returns to Sydney she will have to spend another 14 days in self-isolation, meaning she can’t see Kitty face to face until September.
They played the kitten ad tonight. All I can hear is Sophie Monk but it’s probably not her. I don’t keep up with her IG to know where she is.

Looks like Rob Mills is back this year with some sort of behind the scenes role.

Good to see he’s back this year, they usually have companion social or 10 play series for most of their major franchises so it’s no surprise they’ve got him back to do something like that.

Luke Evans also in Australia at the moment as well…
If he’s here to work on a series in New South Wales, I can’t see him going to the middle of a pandemic beforehand. He’d have to quarantine for 14 days after, so not worth it.
Yeah I don’t normally agree with JBar but i cant see anyone from that production doing it.
It’s not known where the new series it set to be filmed from what I understand.
