Following a controversial falling out on day two of the theatre round with trio member Jorge Bec, Ricky gained a place in the Top 24. During the first semi final round, Ricky sang "[[So Sick]]" by [[Ne-Yo]] but did not accrue enough votes to advance. |
|||
On [[September 4]], the judges advanced Ricky into the Top 12 as the first of four successful wildcard contestants for his performance of [[Usher (entertainer)|Usher]]'s "[[Caught Up]]". |
|||
On [[September 27]], the top 12 performed at federation square. This was a huge day for him as he performed infront of an estimated 10,000 people. |

On [[October 30]], Ricky was voted off the show following his performance of "To Love Somebody" by [[The Bee Gees]]. Dean Geyer escaped elimination also in the bottom two. |
