A show about spelling ….. added with umpteen cheaply made reality programs ….. you don’t need to be Einstein to work out why Ten is heading to 4th place ….. again …….
With the amount of repeats on the ABC at the moment, for Ten to still be pushed into fourth place is an indictment of how unappetising their schedule must be.
