I'm not sure if they just haven't updated that part of the website text or not, but it seems like they'll be podcasting some/all of the heats and finals and such again this year. Hmmmm.

So, is anyone here planning on entering this year?

[Steele]

Just a heads up that the 2006 final is on ch 2 this Thursday May 17th at 9:25.

[JD3000]

Actually Steele, the ABC are advertising it as the 2007 Final.

[Steele]

Oh... the advert I saw had 2006 footage in it so I figured it was the old one.
