The Cliff Notes version:  Temptation's last show for now will be in October.  Millionaire is returning to Nine for 8 weeks/40 eps. because the network doesn't want to lose the rights to the show.

Damn.  The Aussie version of Temptation was an extremely well-produced show.

[Gus]

Does "for now" mean this is a knowingly-temporary hiatus, or is its status up in the air?

[TV Favorites]

Wasn't it mentioned a while back that they may be canceling Temptation due to the cost to produce it?

How can I get on the show?
Do you know the contact address?

You mean the show has been canceled for good?  Or will it be back sometime next year?

From the lede:

Temptation hosts Phillips and Nixon face an uncertain future at the network following word the on-again, off-again quiz show is to be "shelved" for at least the remainder of the year.

Had you actually read that, you would know the answer to your question.

Cut him some slack.  He's still depressed that Todd Newton and Brooke Burke weren't chosen for the US version.

And apparently WWtBaM's Eddie McGuire didn't last too long as Nine Network's CEO, since he'll be back in the host's seat for this series.

Chuck Donegan (The Illustrious "Chuckie Baby")

[Brig Bother]

Well he's been hosting Aussie 1 vs 100 for most of this year anyway.

Correct.
And he will still host 1 vs 100.

I think you might be wrong there.  From what I hear, it will return next year.

Link to your source for this information, please?

[TravisP]

One source is saying axed, while another source is saying the show is back next season (February 2008). However, I can confirm they are having auditions for Temptation in Melbourne today (Tuesday 21st Aug).
