Hamish is a good get. Sarah will be fun too. I like this show - and by the looks of this forum, I may be the only one!
With the two week hiatus , i hope the layout and smoothness of the show gets better. Hamish Blake and Sarah Harris are great guests for next week.

ABC Head of Specialist & Entertainment Michael Carrington has told TV Tonight in the annual programmer’s wrap that the broadcaster will revisit the show.
I’m going to give it another go. It was affected by COVID. It had a break in the middle of production, they didn’t have a studio audience …there were so many elements to the original idea that didn’t come to fruition, for external reasons. But there was something there. I think Craig Reucassel is determined to learn from where we were last year.

Win The Week returns to ABC in August
Win the Week , the news quiz where you can betray your way to the top, returns to ABC for a brand new series premiering Wednesday 3 August at 8pm on ABC TV and ABC iview. Hosted by Alex Lee (The Checkout, The Feed) along with regular panellist Craig Reucassel (The Chaser, War on Waste), Win the Week pairs celebrities with regular Aussies as they battle their way through current news stories.
Win the Week has brand new games, brand new celebrities and brand new news! In 2021 the show covered Australia’s rising covid numbers, Putin’s threats in Europe, and a world economy teetering on the brink - thankfully, none of that is in the news anymore… right?
Joining Alex and Craig this season are much loved celebrities such as Wendy Harmer, Mark Humphries, Tony Armstrong, Nazeem Hussain and returning champion Ellen Fanning, amongst others.
The new season also includes exciting changes to the format. Instead of having fixed “Stay or Betray” moments, players can hit the “Betray” button at any time.
Host Alex Lee said “Contestants mentioned wanting to remove Craig from their team earlier, so we’ve introduced the “Betray” button at any time during the show. It’s complete chaos, but so much fun.”
Producer and regular panellist Craig Reucassel said “My therapist is really looking forward to me returning to this game where I am betrayed on a weekly basis.
“It’s great that team captains can betray at any time. This way the celebrities can get the kind of immediate negative feedback they would normally only receive on social media.”
Filmed weekly in front of a live studio audience the pressure will be dialed up as our celebs seek to prove their worth, talk themselves out of being betrayed or beg not to be discarded. Egos might be dented but champions will be made.
Win the Week is now casting for contestants - applicants can register at: https://go.mycastingnet.com/Apply/Show/WinTheWeek
Really surprised this is returning, again.

Craig must know where the bodies are buried at ABC as he keeps getting gigs despite having no visible talents.
You seem to have a very, very long list of successful people that you don’t like.
The inch question isn’t a primary school question - given Australia has been metric for how many decades?
The first season of Win the Week wasn’t that hot flash - with a lot of “forced humour” that did not equate to any actual laughter from any viewers.
I hope season two is more polished.
