She has been mentioned in the press releases. Reports around Tokyo I presume.

Well if you pay your talent you should probably use them as much as you can. It is something 10 does quite well. They have a handful on talent that host and judge majority of their shows on their network. It would be good if 7 used a few others that are on network contracts to do that though because you don’t want the same host all year round.

As is Dave Hughes, Chris Brown, Amanda Keller and Grant Denyer. I am sure Julia Morris will also be given another new show over the next 24 months, after her last attempt failed.

> So, Sonia in 2021 is on The Voice, Holey Moley, Big Brother, the Olympics - and possibly an AGT judge. Wow!

Sonia’s only confirmed for The Voice and Big Brother - she was meant to do the Olympics this year but since it’s been postponed we don’t know for sure that she’s still going to cover it.

AGT seems unlikely to run in 2021 given the international border restrictions so they might not air it until later on.

She’s definitely not doing Holey Moley - that was announced prior to her signing on to host Big Brother. Olympia Valance was announced as her replacement

2021 is a long way away. I don’t know why they wouldn’t go with AGT if they are still going with The Voice. Both have relied on international stars. They can just do an Australian version of the show.

Oh hahaha I’m clearly not up-to-date with this info!! It’s funny that it mentions Sonia **remains** as host - Seven had previously announced that Olympia Valance would be replacing her. I’m guessing they’ve also tweaked the format - from memory the role used to be ‘sideline commentator’ rather than host

They do not need to pay Olympia any extra amount. Matt and Sonia are on network contracts so they do not get paid any more.

Something a bit random but I’ve only just realised that Guy and Samantha Jade are much closer than I thought. I know they mentioned on X Factor that they knew each other, but I always thought it was more acquaintances/ working in the music industry together.

Guy’s wife, Jules, is obviously close with Samantha seeing as they’re always hanging out (and apparently spotted wedding dress shopping together recently) However, Jules posted an IG story yesterday and mentioned that she’s been ‘best friends’ with Samantha for 11 years. Seeing as Samantha won X Factor in 2012, that means they obviously were really close for at least 3 years before she entered the show.

I feel like singing competitions (particularly in such a small industry like Aus) are definitely ‘it’s not what you know, but who you know’

Weren’t they friends before X Factor? I thought that was part of the controversy in that season? I don’t think that was any secret when the series was airing as I am sure it was mentioned at the time.

They both have products to flog at the moment, I’d say that has a big part of it.

🙄 boring.

But also -

_Sources are adamant the deal has been done but Seven declined to comment when approached._

So basically everything we’ve all been already speculating about with no actual confirmation.
