Is there a new batch being selected for Elite this year ?

No, the idea is that a selected number of competitors will go from the Academy into the Elite. Phillip, Stuart, James, Scott, Daniel and Scott will remain in the Elite for the next year.

They selected 8 instead of 6 for the Academy so I would imagine the 6 that prove themselves over the next year will move into the Elite.
