New photography show on ABC-TV (Australia)

Should be interesting (or perhaps cringe-worthy):

On Thurday 14 June at 8pm (AEST) a new photography show 'PhotoFinish' will premiere on ABC1 television (Australia):

QuoteQuote:
Hosted by passionate photographer Andrew Günsberg (Australian Idol), Photo Finish is a unique series where, each week, three amateur photographers compete head-to-head in themed photographic challenges.

Equipped with the same camera, the time-based assignments are designed to test the photographers’ creativity and skills. A marriage celebrant, a prison officer, an actor and stay-at-home mum are amongst the 24 amateur photographers who take on a range of assignments.

To help decide the weekly winner, Andrew is joined by Anne Loxley, a curator at Sydney’s Museum of Contemporary Art and an expert judge from each genre.
Photo Finish - ABC TV is the show's home page.

A preview is available here, and the show may also be archived here:

It may also be streamed live as well via:

Wow. I now know - albeit very remotely - a TV star!

I won't ask for any spoilers, but was it a good experience?

It was a very interesting experience, definitely a once in a lifetime kind of opportunity in any case. I can expand on it more after the show if you have any questions

It would be nice to see them using a K01, or even one of those rare K5 jobs that you never see in the shops.
Given that the ABC is a non-commercial station, I suppose they'll be putting little bits of black electrical tape over the camera names anyway.

The K01 wasn't out when we were filming. They are using a range of cameras from high end to mobile phones. It's an interesting concept and it's not about brands, it's about photography

Whhaaattt?

That's a scary idea. Where do you come up with such radical concepts?

I thought photography was all about brands - and gear and MTF and pixel density and DxOMark, and how much you paid for something etc etc ...

What else could photography be about?

I say, you're not affiliated with the photography studio on the Central Coast called 'Photo Finish' (same name as the tv show), are you?
Because in that case, it would be about commercial gain, on a supposedly non-commercial network. Just a coincidence, I geuss.......

Yes, it's just a co-incidence. Life is full of them
