    1. I hope Marco will be just like Gordon because to be honest that’s the only reason I watch that show is to see him treat the people like shit when they make a mistake lmao good viewing!

  1. I really enjoyed House Rules Last Night, although nothing to spectacular I found it much more enjoyable than Predictable MasterChef and same-old The Voice

  2. As a parent, I refuse to let my children watch Master Chef anymore after George’s despicable behaviour. Family viewing? I don’t think so, Ch 10!!!!!

  3. Hey David,

    Is there a reason why you don’t post the second figure for News Breakfast anymore? I always see the / but nothing after it.

    1. Fair question, but I can only work with what I am supplied. There is a second figure for ABC News channel which is too low for me to receive. the / is designed to indicate more rather than just left at one number. It’s not ideal I realise.

      1. I’m actually wondering why you are posting figures for news breakfast at all. Its been well indicated that it is the policy of this site not to post figures for a show that’s been simulcast on two channels.

  4. I hate to say this, as I really enjoy it, but Masterchef is looking tired. You can pick (almost word perfect sometimes) what the judges are going to say and it just feels too much like the last two or three years.
    While I know it’s a winning formula, I can’t help but think it needs something to freshen it up, perhaps even a new judge or two?

    1. I agree. I watched the auditions, but won’t be watching it every night like I have in the past. It is the same old, same old. Needs an urgent makeover and also having a female judge would be a good start.

  5. Thought I would give Pacific Heat a chance last night, didn’t make the first ad break. Can understand why 600,000 switched off after HYBPA

    Great to see Tom,Sam, Ed and the team back for another year!!

    1. Agree with you in relation to HYBPA, but Brilliant is not a word I would use to describe Masterchef. Predictable is the word I would use.

  6. Loved the boy george special . Interesting viewing . Here’s hoping they play the movie based on his life soon I once saw on pay tv , forget wat it was called . Awesome Movie and the guy who played him was spot on .

  7. Great results for HYBPA, it was hilarious last night. Also good to see Seven Year Switch tanking. Here’s hoping for a similarly dismal result for The Resort tonight so the trend for this kind of rubbish ends soon.
