How awkward was their Friday night The Project appearance !! No chemistry, n lots of eye rolling .Looks like the rumours are true , I think they faking still being together
I watched…Sophie….not something I normally do..(I even gave up SBS)….but watch some during the day recently….drew me in….I did not care for Stu on face value….but liked him at the end….I wish them well..
Oh and Gogglebox….have not watched it since first season…there were so many laugh out loud moments….including the one mentioned in today’s email newsletter…. 😀
Can’t get excited about the Bachelorette and i enjoy my fair share of trash tv. Gogglebox was great as usual last night. It’s one of the few FTA shows i don’t want to miss.
Did SVU air last night? No ratings and not on Tenplay. I’ve recorded it, so hopefully it’s there. Cheers
Yes it did. It ranked 25th for the night. SVU has never been on Tenplay, I dont think Ten have the streaming rights.
Sully ” brilliantly casted and executed reality season”. Going by these comments sounds like the show is scripted. Could it be nominated for a logie for best drama ?
I would love to know if Stu’s ex-wife and kids watched the show at all. Oh to be a fly on the wall in that household!
I don’t think they are divorced yet are they? Technically still his wife
ScreenPLAY did censor their language and some, but not all, violence.
i wonder how long this relationship between sophie and stuart will last.
personally i dont think she should join the today show as co-host with karl- i can see her doing the project and studio 10 from time to time
i didnt watch this show either.
No party poopers allowed today thanks , pretend ur happy in life and smile ?
‘Ur’-what does ancient Mesopotamia have to do with it?
Again no drama on gogglebox. No movies. There wasn’t the need to do tattoos, cars, millionaire matchmaker and block. With so much content one can view, the lack of variety of content in the seasons gogglebox is becoming a bit of a turn off.
I agree. Am normally the No.1 fan but this season has been pretty tame. Not liking the new cast members either.
Kudos to Ten. Absolutely deserved everything they got. A brilliantly casted and executed reality season.
Sophie will hot property after how well this show has done for TEN…get her into that seat next to Stefanovic! : )
Sorry Beverley, it didn’t have “all of Australia captivated”. At least 23 million Australians didn’t tune in (my household included)!!
Only just over 3000 people have ratings boxes so not sure how you can make the claim that 23 million peope did not watch the show.
I’ve said this more times than I care to remember – population statistics is the answer to your question. The same system that the ABS relies on.
The ratings system is designed so that conclusions can be made about the numbers (and demographics) of people who watch each show, based on the reporting of a carefully selected sample of the overall population.
If you don’t trust the claim that 23m didn’t watch, you also can’t trust the converse claim that 1.3M did.
There are actually 5,250 households on the current OzTAM panel. However, this only covers the 5 main capital cities so it’d be more accurate to say that 14M out of 15.4M didn’t watch the show.
Cheer up!
Harsh
Actually, it’s mostly accurate, so it’s fair. Not harsh at all.
I often use the word “all” to mean “about five per cent”. It’s near enough!
