  2. Channel 10 will be happy that season 2 of The Bachelor has no way tarnished its reputation. Good on 10 to maintain some good ratings and winning in all the demos last night.

  3. Watched the usual nightly pre 8pm shows (Fued, Project 6.30 and H&A) then caught up on a very old Grey’s still sitting on the PVR Ep 3 of S11 as we only had 1% space left. Serious catchup in order this weekend I think

  4. When Antiques Roadshow beats Restaurant Revolution by 10,000 viewers, Seven have got to be asking themselves “Why is this shit on our network?”

    David, feel free to cut the swear word out if needed.

      1. Yeah, Gyllenhaal was a standout. I don’t mind slow burn but there were a couple of points, the first and last scenes, where people’s behaviour didn’t ring true. I’ll still be back next week.

    2. Having seen all of the Honourable Woman I would have to say hang in there….I was underwhelmed at the first episode but something made me go back and ended up watching the whole series.

  6. Tried yet again to watch Restaurant Revulsion but it truly is terrible. I don’t think there is any element of this Frankenstein of a show that works.

    It’s a 0/10 from me.

    1. Really? Surely they should just leave it, there can’t be long to go (I hope). The show is pretty terrible, but I’ve invested in too many episodes to give up now.

    2. I’m still watching zoo. Its surprisingly still keeping my attention. It seems to be leading somewhere let’s just hope it gets there soon. Only 5 episodes to go. I saw that it had moved to 10.30pm on the windows phone tenplay app. Terrible experience trying to watch zoo on the windows phone tenplay app. The episode kept stuttering making it hard to follow the dialogue, but the dialogue in the ads worked perfectly. Also 8 ads in an ad break is a bit much.

      1. Strange…I find that also with a number of catchup sites…shows can be difficult to watch…black screen…stopping starting…lip sync out…but ads are just fine…weird that….

  8. A good night of viewing for a change. Watched ‘Who’s Been Sleeping in My House?’ Really enjoy this show. Then the cricket on GEM with the Aussies doing well.
