    Remember that The Amazing Race figures are just for Vic, SA and WA. NSW and Qld are showing Amazing Race now (good move Channel 7) so I would expect the number to double once you take the NRL states figures in.

  2. I have been watching the two series on SBS….great shows….preceeded by Remarkable Vets on GEM….days if the life of a New Zealand vet practice.

  3. Isn’t Myf Warhurst a breath of fresh air in the land of the Kardashian’s and the Bingle’s. Network executives should take note that Myf’s wonderful presence and her enthusiasm and interviewing skills can soften the hardest soles and even bring a tear to the eye.

  4. It’s clear ELEVEN is TEN’s only bright spot of late..

    It was the top multi channel of the night and has the most watched show of the digital channels.
