Not surprised about Today’s ratings. I left and moved over to ABC Breakfast, best decision.
Brian has no chance of winning. He’s actually despised. Shane and Sharn are surely now the favourites. Loved last night’s tribal!
Shane epitomises what it means to be a Survivor winner. She is completely deserving of the win. Love her commentary!
Shonella totally should’ve seen Brian’s vote coming, so desperate to get rid of Sharn.
Why on earth did Ten schedule a 3rd Encore of Corden’s Karaoke special when nobody watched the first run or the other 2 encores?
Home & Away nearly under 600k on Public Holiday Monday not good.
I do wonder how much more puff home and away has left in that plum 7pm slot. It’s total people numbers aren’t good and it’s even beaten in the demos by ACA.
I know it’s been said before it does well on catch-up, but that 7pm slot really needs something that gets people watching it live and then sticking around for the night.
Tell Channel 10 that…
So good to see Shane and Sharn turn the tables on Grubby Brain….the look on his face when he realised that he had voted wrong was priceless.
Would love to see Shane win.
I’m with you David. Enjoying this current series.
I think she’s flown under the radar a bit too, not that she hasn’t gone unnoticed (she’s been a face of recent epsidoes) but just contestants haven’t really been aiming hard for her… Yet.
Nah, she’s been cunning as…. that scene where she targeted next person during the immunity challenge was priceless. Don’t f*** with Shane Gould.
me too !
I love Shane too. Just watching her swim in the challenges sends tingles down my spine. She is a star ! She may have a chance now with Shonelle going ape over her friend being voted out ! I just wish they would show her looking for an idol like Sharn miraculously did. Love Survivor !!
I’m all for Brian winning….
This season of Aus Survivor has been a real cracker – so many twists and turns. Makes a refreshing change from the predictable alliance block voting from past seasons.Yes, Shane is a one wily, scheming old fox…a bit too full of herself though. Still, she definitely deserves to win above the others.
I too have been gunning for Brian. Done well not to be booted thus far! But I think full credit to Shane now too.
