Hi, this week's been really good. We moved into the house this week, it's been an absolute ball.

It’s been pretty hard for me living with 11 other people because I’m used to living by myself. Usually when I finish work and go home, it’s just silent, relaxing time, but now I go home and it’s like a whole other circus because everyone’s so hyperactive from the day. I’m finding it good but sometimes it can be a bit difficult. The house is amazing; we have an elevator inside the house, which is just outta control.

This week we met Suzi Quatro and she just stared into my soul and she took my song to a whole new level that I can’t describe. I’ve actually had to change the music a bit to fit the vision she gave me and the way she got me to connect to the song. It was really beautiful what she’s done and the place she’s taken me to and I’ve never been able to perform with such vulnerability. I’m really looking forward to sharing that with Australia because I’ve never been able to let go of my shield that much, so that’ll be really good.

The other thing I’ve noticed this week is just the frustration of constantly talking about yourself - sort of everyone wanting to know how your week’s been all the time and you start to feel a bit isolated from reality and you start to not really feel you’re a part of a community, you start to just feel like it’s just you. I’ve got friends coming from Townsville this week so I’m looking forward to seeing them because I know they won’t want to hear about anything, it’ll be just normal hanging out time, so that’ll be really good.

Generally, I’m just happy. I know some of the other contestants are feeling a bit of pressure but I’m just happy every single day that I’m here. I’m feeling just such a positive sense of energy and constant bliss all the time, life is really good.

Huge hello to Townsville! Townsville has got behind me in a way I never expected and I’m so proud of my town. I’m such a huge fan of Townsville so to have them embrace me like they have…So many people tell my close friends messages to tell me and my Facebook’s been flooded and I suppose you can get a bit lonely in Sydney but when I look at all that stuff, it just makes me feel really good.

I know if I got kicked off this week it would absolutely break my heart, but at least I’d know I’m going home to a place that’s really proud of what I’ve done. A massive thank you to all the people who’ve taken either time out to write to me or to vote or to tell someone to say good luck - it’s awesome.

Feel the fear and do it anyway, keep smiling, cheers,

Kimmy
