Speaker 1: Shock elimination last night on Australian IDOL.
Speaker 2: I know, Riley, it's not good, good show, not good
Speaker 2: that people get eliminated, but not everyone can win.
Speaker 1: No, that's true. But this was the front runner. This
Speaker 1: was this was such a heartless really Debbie Downer, it's
Speaker 1: just like it was a shock.
Speaker 3: She's like it was.
Speaker 1: You didn't watch it, did you?
Speaker 3: It's what means.
Speaker 4: You can tell.
Speaker 1: Shut up if you didn't watch it. This happened. Ripley
Speaker 1: went home nice.
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, that doesn't mean that we have to say goodbye
Speaker 3: to I know you have given so much of this competition.
Speaker 3: You are an absolute superstar and we have loved watching
Speaker 3: New Bro as an artist. Thank you so much for
Speaker 3: coming and mean.
Speaker 5: When and the person there watching it all unfold telling
Speaker 5: him his fate was the one and only host of
Speaker 5: the show, alongside Ricky Lee Scott Tweety joining us now
Speaker 5: Hollo tweetst.
Speaker 6: It was a crazy night in the theater last night
Speaker 6: because obviously we're live live for those evictions, and when
Speaker 6: we read out the verdicts, Ricky and I don't know
Speaker 6: and I just could not believe that I saw not
Speaker 6: only Ripley there, but then also imaging like two of
Speaker 6: our strongest singers. I had kind of penciled them into
Speaker 6: be in the top four and they got kicked off. Oh.
Speaker 7: I actually was lucky enough to get a private performance
Speaker 7: by Ripley this morning in the studio, in the radio
Speaker 7: studio and can confirm it was absolutely incredible. But what
Speaker 7: I wanted to know is when you're in the top
Speaker 7: ten now, so you've seen this behind the scenes, you're
Speaker 7: seeing it all unfold, you knowing the personalities, do you
Speaker 7: dip down, think you know who's going to win? Like
Speaker 7: you as a host, do you sort of pick it
Speaker 7: from now?
Speaker 6: No? I wish we could, but we can't because you
Speaker 6: don't know what Australia is going to vote for. That
Speaker 6: was the thing. As soon as Ripley got kicked off
Speaker 6: last night, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, the.
Speaker 4: Comments were flooding your nella like you guys did it?
Speaker 4: Like it's We had no control over how and what
Speaker 4: happens with the voting, so we can only announce what
Speaker 4: the figures are, So you don't know what people are
Speaker 4: going to go for. I think a lot of viewers
Speaker 4: assume that Ripley was a shoe in because he's been
Speaker 4: going viral every time he things on TikTok, but that's
Speaker 4: not the case.
Speaker 6: So people have to vote.
Speaker 1: But that's exactly what happens.
Speaker 2: People think, oh, well, other people have voted for him,
Speaker 2: so I'm not going to bother. I'll put my vote
Speaker 2: to this person, and it totally unravels. Is there anyone
Speaker 2: that's in it now that you are at the point
Speaker 2: where you're like, oh, they're definitely not going to win.
Speaker 2: That you think would be like a real wildcard if
Speaker 2: it was to make it to the number one.
Speaker 6: Well, I think that's the great thing about the top ten.
Speaker 6: Yet we do some wildcards in there, and so I
Speaker 6: can't I've got my own thoughts in my head. As
Speaker 6: the host of the show. We are Switzerland support every
Speaker 6: contested there. But yeah, there's definitely something that I think
Speaker 6: for themselves, they're kind of shocked they're still in it,
Speaker 6: but they're entertaining and they're winning over viewers with their
Speaker 6: personality because we've come out from the very beginning series
Speaker 6: going it's not just about your voices, it's about the
Speaker 6: whole package of being a super god.
Speaker 7: I don't think it is personality carries you through like
Speaker 7: I mean, like I've got the personality I reckon, but
Speaker 7: they would not get me anywhere.
Speaker 6: With my personality and a bit of a voice. You're
Speaker 6: gonna have the two there. But it helps because it's
Speaker 6: all about marketing nowadays. And think about any big pop star.
Speaker 6: You fall in love with them as well as their music. Yeah,
Speaker 6: it's what happens in the real world.
Speaker 2: Scott Ripley was saying, well, he kind of implied that
Speaker 2: he was hooking up with a contestant on the show.
Speaker 2: Do you hear about this stuff as you're backstage? Do
Speaker 2: you get the rumors that are flying or is this
Speaker 2: just a little bit of spice on the sound?
Speaker 6: I wish no, we don't, not really, because we're like
Speaker 6: the contestants all live in a hotel, like the same hotel.
Speaker 6: They're auditioning, not agishing, they're rehearsing all the time, so
Speaker 6: they're working really hard doing the reality packages. So Ricky
Speaker 6: and I are quite distant from them. But now at
Speaker 6: this point, when they're like top twelve, top ten, we
Speaker 6: start to hang out with them more. We're going to
Speaker 6: take them to more pr events and red carpets and
Speaker 6: get them out and about. But I didn't know Ripley
Speaker 6: was looking out with someone. Could be I don't know.
Speaker 1: Is his Ripley swing both ways or is he straight better?
Speaker 6: I don't know. We don't know about their private lives.
Speaker 4: So no, he's.
Speaker 5: Got earrings in both ears like you can't tell it
Speaker 5: could be both.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like hiding, you know, it's not one of these.
Speaker 1: Don't start these rumors, poor Ripley. We love you, Ripley.
Speaker 1: Well done. We'll Ripley sleeping with Marshall.
