Hi everyone, welcome back to TV Reload!

Thank you for tuning in to today’s episode, where we’re joined by the latest contestants eliminated from Australian Idol’s Top 8—John and Emma.

With the competition heating up, their departures prove that Australian Idol is truly anyone’s game. If Emma and John can be sent home, no one is safe! That’s why the judges keep urging viewers to vote—every single vote matters when it comes to keeping your favourites in the competition.

Emma’s elimination is a real shocker, considering the powerhouse vocals she brings to the stage, and John—this season’s undeniable “cutie patootie”—has learned that charm alone isn’t enough to secure a spot in the finals.

In this episode:

• • John opens up about his relationship with the judges, revealing which one is his favourite.
• • Emma shares rare insights into her unique voice and why it sounds so different when she sings compared to when she speaks.
• • We dive into the behind-the-scenes styling—who picks their outfits? How are songs chosen for group performances?
• • Plus, we get John’s reaction to his Instagram DMs, Emma’s plans when she returns home to Canberra, and a bold prediction I make about John’s future—which he seems pretty excited about!

There’s so much to cover, with plenty of exclusive insights and behind-the-scenes revelations. So sit back, relax, and join us as we break down the world of Australian Idol, which returns this Sunday night!
