Who Got Eliminated Last Night (March 17, 2026)?
In a dramatic double elimination, Lily-Grace Grant (18, Northern Rivers, NSW – the country music hopeful) and Sophie Poidevin (Melbourne, VIC – the creative art-pop singer) were sent home.
- Lily-Grace performed “Sweet Home Alabama” but landed in the bottom.
- Sophie delivered “Whatta Man” yet couldn’t secure enough votes.
