Was only a matter of time for Lisa, she’s faced public distain since the Logies and that’s absolutely affected the perception of the program.

While she’s staying with 10, it would be an amazing opportunity to reunite Karl and Lisa on Today.

So the two main golden girls of the project will be leaving. Carrie and Lisa.

Arguably the two highest paid hosts too. I reckon this wasn’t Lisa decision. The ratings have tanked and they can’t justify these “big” names anymore.

I loved just at the end of the video. Lisa mentioned Carrie, Leigh Sales and Tracy Grimshaw to have a drink. And the margaritas are on her.

Someone is going to need to host from Sydney on weekend. Sarah Harris?
I wonder if the show is ending and they gave Lisa the heads up to quit first….

I wish Walleed would quit

Wow wasnt expecting that. Although, to be fair, probably should have been. A very different Project in 2023 (arguably, its time for it) with both leading ladies gone. Time to give the show a bit of a refresh.

“We’re looking at some work ideas” meaning probably nothing around. Gardening leave to end her contract? Interesting it’s “stepping back tonight” and not in a week or two.
Remember this photo that they post it during upfronts.
Expecting they all coming back next year.
Well they ain’t and it’s only 2 boys in the middle remaining
I dont see the show ending. But it does need a refresh and I kind of think they need a bigger name to help it. I think if it was just replacing Carrie, someone like Georgie tunny (apologies if I got that wrong) would do. But with both gone, they need a star power from somewhere.

Well last time she shockingly quit her new job was announced half hour later
I personally think it’s too late. It can’t be saved. Australians just don’t like it.

And also I’m surprised Wilkinson announced her leaving on the project but not on TODAY in 2017.
Quite a classy speech but with Lisa leaving immediately, no chance for a big goodbye.
