What’s going on with Hot Seat Dave? Is Nine planning a new game show?
Earlier this year I was told they were looking at timeslot but nothing advised. Upfronts are next month, but when it eventually goes there is no guarantee a game show is moving in.
As The Chase Australia shows, 5 o’clock game shows are still popular!
So maybe don’t pit another game show against it. Not my call.
I disagree with the comments here. Survivor has been much better this season than last season. Kristie was a dud winner who won because the jury was bitter against Lee. The Saanapu alliance last year made the second half of the season boring because no one was willing to flip and they all played it far too safe.
This year AK, Henry, Sarah, Tess and Luke in particular have been interesting players who have been willing to take risks and make big moves. The tribal swaps and twists are well done and have made this season the same quality as Survivor: Second Chance, one of the show’s best seasons.
It’s so good to see how much Australian content is currently on tv. Many people say this is not the same as what it was 5-10 years ago, however – I’m loving that amount of Aussie shows I can catch up on. In regards to Aus Survivor, I have to admit… I bloody love it! Although, I don’t remember the original US show having about 80% just talking about who they are voting out. Could be wrong though….
Not wrong. US is 1 hr a week with reward, immunity, tribal council. We are now facing 3 eps a week, and last night there was no reward in a 70 min episode.
No wonder Survivor’s ratings are rubbish, the casting this season has been atrocious. Smarmy contestants that are devoid of personality or heart. Doesn’t make for enjoyable viewing when you can’t engage with who you’re watching.
Do agree that this year’s contestants are hard to connect with – overall neither likeable or engaging.
Am still enjoying watching but haven’t found anyone worth barracking for this season.
Kristie wasn’t exactly a crowd fave until late last season, but there were others to entertain us. It isn’t ideal that AK as a villain or ex-Soldier Mark as a hero were voted out already, but that’s the game. It enables others to show their mettle. Last year the series got better as it wore on so hoping for same this year.
Yes, a shame that AK has already gone – a great villain but a little too transparent.
He may well have still been there if the producers didn’t meddle with the natural flow of the game.
Henry and Sarah, whilst not very likeable, are both very clever and playing the game really well. They should both go far. Henry is a more subtle, charming “villain” than AK and deserves to be there in the end.
I totally agree. I’m persisting because I usually enjoy Survivor and I’m hoping it improves but I just don’t care who wins or leaves. I’m not sure if it’s the editing or casting but I’m finding this season really boring.
I might be over 60 but I will stick with Survivor….Scott Cam leaves me cold.
this would explain why he demo’s younger 😉
Seven are lucky they have a few of these filler shows (Highway Patrol, Border Security, Beach Cops, etc) they can throw in to the schedule when need be, that are cheap to make and perform consistently. When even a Highway Patrol rerun is beating Survivor, things are not good for Ten.
Pretty sure that both episode of Highway Patrol were new
Second was a repeat but rated higher.
