Swipe on through to find out who they are, and learn what topics they'll be duelling with...
Steven Bradbury: Winter Sports
Age: 52
From: Queensland
Occupation: Winter Olympian
There's a good chance you already know this Aussie icon – none other than Steven Bradbury himself.
The Olympic legend is famously known for his "last man standing" victory in the speed skating event at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
He's proven he can navigate the ice, but will his signature luck and ice-cool strategy hold out on the high-stakes LED floor?
Can he pull off another legendary "Bradbury" and outlast the competition?
Hayden: Seafood
Age: 32
From: New South Wales
Occupation: Ex-Stunt Man
From the MasterChef kitchen to trekking across the country on Taste of Australia, Hayden is the ultimate coastal connoisseur. He's spent a decade proving he's more than just a surfer who can cook – but when the trivia tide rises, will he be the big fish or just bait?
Kevin: The Commonwealth
Age: 67
From: New South Wales
Occupation: Professional Traveller
He's the sophisticated, sharp-tongued star of Travel Guides. Known for his love of five-star luxury and his "Edelweiss theory" of living, Kevin swaps his first-class lounge access for a spot on The Floor. While he's usually critiquing hotels, he'll need his sharpest wit to defend the Commonwealth.
Clea: Skibidi
Age: 26
From: Western Australia
Occupation: UNESCO Intern
Clea left the corporate world to study a Masters in Political Science and intern at UNESCO in Paris. She's not competitive except when it comes to trivia, so watch out to anyone hoping to take her on in speaking Skibidi, which we think means Gen Alpha slang.
Ziggy: Nocturnal Animals
Age: 22
From: Tasmania
Occupation: Wildlife Educator
Ziggy is bright eyed, and bushy tailed! He has a huge passion for Australian wildlife. Ziggy and his dad are the best of mates, and together they run the Raptor Refuge in Tasmania. He released his first falcon at four and has 22 years of experience.
Wednesday: Pets
Age: 45
From: South Australia
Occupation: Pet Shop Worker
Wednesday is a larger-than-life mum-of-six and a pet owner of six dogs, three cats and two fish tanks containing 30 fish and 100 shrimps and snails.
She loves animals so much, she has many tattoos of pets and other animals on her body including a giant blue octopus across her shoulder, a worm, a seahorse, a shrimp, a goose, foxes, cats, hedgehogs to name a few!
Tyrone: Australian Open
Age: 44
From: Victoria
Occupation: Ticketing Manager
Tyrone has been obsessed with tennis since the age of six and now lives the dream, working as a ticketing manager at the Australian Open. With insider knowledge and lived experience, he is the one to beat in any tennis trivia category.
Gerald: Car Parts
Age: 42
From: Queensland
Occupation: Farmer
A powerhouse in the world of competitive woodchopping and a true-blue Aussie character known for his grit on Survivor. Gerald brings "ax-tra" pressure to the arena, trading the forest for the garage to see if he can dismantle the competition in the Car Parts category.
Camryn: Dance Movies
Age: 25
From: Queensland
Occupation: Burlesque Dancer
At 18, Camryn started working for Queensland Corrective Services, working with high-risk sex offenders and tracking people with ankle monitors across Queensland. But she's always loved to dance, and is now a burlesque dancer.
