  1. at least now with england in the finals they will have a crowd with india not there that was 2/3 of the crowd , imagine if the aussies won there would only be tour groups and expats in the crowd

  2. It’s a shame that Australia saved their worst game until last, if they were playing the Kiwis in the semi it would have been a different matter. We’ll see what the ratings will be for the grand final.

  3. Rare win for Today Extra, shame Studio 10 can’t be more competitive.
    Disappointing figure for Mastechef considering limited competition. It’s really running out of puff ratings wise this year, maybe they need to consider some careful tweaks next year which don’t impact the premise or integrity of the format. This would be a really delicate balance, increasing bitchiness is not the answer. I only discovered it last year and still really enjoy it, but can see how it may become predictable for many after 11 years.

    1. I think MC is still going well. The fta landscape has shifted substantially in the past couple of years. Once it got down to the final 10 we’ve started watching a lot more. Nicole is my favourite, but I don’t think she will win..

    2. @bullswool,I agree it’s running out of puff ,by the time the GF airs Tuesday week it’s 61 episodes ,that’s easily 20 more than It could be ,too drawn out now and same tired judges and comments just make it dull ,shame they won’t rest it for a year but what else would they show.

    1. Maybe they should move to a One Weeknight on a Thursday / Saturday and air it with 2 Episodes as a games block for 10 Weeks or something. Would probably get better viewership not being up against 9 / 7 News at 6. Food for thought?
