  1. If you have a close look at the ratings, Dance Boss is doing not too badly in Sydney and Brisbane, but doing very poorly in Melbourne, the city its made in. The Project is strongest by far in Melbourne so it gets a good lead in. The may need to promote it better in Melbourne as home grown and it might have a chance.

  2. Enjoying Survivor but the episodes are too long with each one that has aired has been 90 minutes. Also a little disappointed with the first three choices to leave the island as I wanted to see how those three progressed. Hopefully it stays interesting and personalities come out. I have also noticed this year each ep has a reward and an elimination hence the longer ep. but I rather a shorter ep and less eps per week. At least at The Bachelor starts next week to slow Survivor down. I don’t like them burning it off perhaps they are trying to establish a larger audience.
