Our performer line-up:

Team40s: Susie Fagan is a mum of 2 girls however is still learning to grow up herself. Some people train for marathons as a way to challenge themselves as they get older, but the thought of exercising for that long SCARES THE BEJAWS out of her, so she'd rather take on things like Generation Women. Plus it's a way to escape her kids and husband for a few hours. She's also done some stand up comedy and spoken word poetry slams - after all, it's cheaper than therapy with a much shorter wait time for an appointment.
Team50s: Sylvina Bel from Argentina" landed in Australia with her backpack filled with years of drama, singing, dancing, and even the fine art of stand-up comedy. Her one-of-a-kind perspective sets her apart – a fiery spirit from the heart of a third-world nation, now navigating the laid-back waters of Oz. It's like bringing a blend of Diego Maradona's passion into the world of Crocodile Dundee's, a collision of planets that is both delightful and captivating. That's the Sylvina experience in a nutshell.
