Seven serves up Monday win

Revenge is still a dish best served with My Kitchen Rules, as Seven easily took the night once again.

Revenge is still a dish best served with My Kitchen Rules, as Seven easily took the night once again.

  1. Sports Fever with Santo, Stan and Jed has been so great. If only it could be on earlier so more people could watch it. Let’s hope 7 doesn’t take action against low its numbers.

  2. “Channel 10 are terrible at marketing their shows.”

    Not only that – they often pick terrible timeslots that are either unsuitable or which pitch the show against an established drama with a similar demo, and then they go and bump it later or move it to a different day.

    It’s no wonder H50 is only getting 400k+ when it should be comfortably pulling over 600k, enough for it to appear in the Top 20.

  3. We’re in the routine of watching Biggest Loser, recording MKR and watching that right after Loser. Nine just doesn’t get a look-in during the week in this house.

  4. Really hope Thomas and Carla don’t ruin the rest of the week by giving the other teams zero to help themselves.

    Thomas deserved a zero last night for wearing those red three-quarter length pants!

  5. Absolutely love Revenge. And MKR- although Carla and Thomas are horrible. Why are they so angry? The food dished up was bad and deserved those scores. Hope they are eliminated.

  6. I’m surprised by the success of Revenge. I rewatched the first ep, but it still hasn’t grabbed me. I have last nights ep on tape, yet to watch. All I can attribute it to is that there are younger viewers out there, that havn’t seen it all before on Dallas, Dynasty and Melrose Place.

  7. I am absolutely loving MKR this season. I had only watched it occasionally during the last season. This extra round of instant restaurants is brilliant – I love the vindictiveness and the change in attitude of the contenders.

    I really dont think Thomas and Carla have what it takes to succeed in the competition. Bring on tonight!!!

  8. Really like Alcatraz. Missed the debut last week but caught it on 9’s catchup, and so I caught the new ep on tv last night. Does seem a bit like Fringe in some ways just with Hurley (from Lost) and Sam Neil, which reminds me what is GO! doing with Fringe? They seemed to have turned into a movie station. Do I need to hunt down Fringe by other means now?

    Watched the replay of Revenge, but it didn’t really grab me, so didn’t catch the second ep last night.

    @jimbo k – Bondi Vet wasn’t on last night. It is on Tuesdays. I like Bondi Vet. Not much of a fan of Bondi Rescue though.

  9. Seriously, Seven should just delay AGT a few more weeks and put MKR on for some extra time. This proves that people aren’t against the third instant restaurant round.

  10. Glad to see Happy endings back again (6th timeslot now)!!! Anyway try to keep it there Network 7! You are winning the ratings and
    Give viewers a chance to follow your shows!

  11. I know Excess Baggage is on GO! and not a main channel but it must be heart breaking when TBL is getting 9 times the views because TEN had faith in their shows.

    Not surprised Alcatraz dropped below the 1 mill mark, just wonder how long before Nine shifts it back to 9:30 time slot?

  12. Loving Revenge. What an awesome show. 1.8m for Revenge and MKR is a sensational result for Seven. You would expect that MKR will only get stronger as the season progresses too.

  13. Poor channel Ten. A shame that NCIS LA, Hawaii Five O and Bondi Vet now don’t rate that well on their Monday night schedule.

    A bigger dissapointement would be for SBS. Monday nights used to be their big night ”in the spotlight”. Nowadays, it doesn’t make any impact at all.

    Great win to Seven, and nice effort to Nine.
